Maybe a high-reps, low-weight format such as Les Mills BODYPUMP[1]?

I started, with great hesitation, taking Pump classes about four years ago. The results were nothing short of life-changing[2]. A couple of years later, in love with the format, I became a certified instructor and now teach classes 4 days/week.

Relating back to the OP... every 2–3 weeks I rotate the material I'm teaching. The memorization was extremely difficult at first: an instructor needs to talk (through a personalized script) for nearly an hour straight, while watching and giving feedback to everyone in the room, and while verbally staying about 10 seconds ahead of what's coming, which involves having every movement and every musical track firmly memorized (brain and muscle memory). It used to take me 16+ hours to memorize a "release" (a calendar quarter's material). Now, I can re/memorize, practice, and be ready to teach fresh material in about 3 hours. Something in my brain changed. :-) On top of that, I currently teach 3x Les Mills formats per week (BODYPUMP, GRIT, SPRINT) so nearly triple the amount of bi-monthly memorization effort compared to 2 years ago. I don't find it difficult at this point, but it is a no-shortcuts time commitment, to be sure. I also work full-time as a contract software developer; and, yes, my improved memory has had a big positive impact in that area of my life as well.

This is interesting. I guess then you’d want to focus not on a single pixel but a collection that will still retain some value once filtered.

It would be an interesting experiment.
Now will they also build a math around it?
I believe ancient linguistic nuances like this are sometimes divined from formally structured poetry, among other sources. Also analysis of languages thought to share a common ancestor could imply near-identical pronunciation in the past

> Philosophers haven't bothered to learn modern science

Incorrect.

> they do not have the expertise necessary to do anything but pontificate on vagaries

Also incorrect.

> Philosophy these days seems more about finding clever places to hide religious beliefs than it is about explaining the world as it is and answering questions in useful and productive ways.

3 for 3, congratulations!
You can run Python WSGI apps (including Django) using Zappa [1] with a serverless infrastructure.

Do you tell Heroku how many servers you need and how big they should be? Are you in charge of making sure you have the right number, or that the triggers for scaling up / down are working? If so, it is not serverless.

This is like claiming cars will lose the battle to planes. These technologies are not mutually exclusive.
One benefit of gold is that you can make more of it every day by placing your coins in a bag and shaking. The energy you put into the bag causes more gold to be produced in the form of dust within the bag. Helps work against inflation!

Its not about 'directly manage servers' i think. You still have a conceptual view of a single server(rails server) that is serving your requests. In serverless you have bunch of servers that are serving requests for all apps that are deployed to them.

Your specific app is not pinned to a conceptual server.
You can't upload your own code to the stripe API.

Someone else manages your containers and you manage the code.
It will be interesting to see how this mechanism fares, for sure.

If they can master this, they're at least 10% of the way toward figuring out how to contain high-level radioactive waste! That brilliant (!) engineering marvel needs to be contained at least ten times longer than this clock is supposed to run.

It would more likely be pronounced with a vowel sound similar to a long i in Italian, but this is a pretty good approximation for English speakers.

It's not as black and white as all that. In the early days, it was probably a trivial operation for any employee to examine any customer's dropbox content. Hopefully these days the prod machines and backups.are walled from all but a rotating team of SREs, whose own actions on them are subject to audit.
This was my first language too. I remember sitting there all night when I was about 8 years old writing my first game - Dancing Dobbins (a horse racing and betting game). I had to manually draw each horse line by line and the refresh rate was appalling as they flickered across the screen. It got gradually more elaborate and foolish as I added features like horses going mad and attacking each other. I so wish I had the original code but it died along side the cutting edge 80meg hard drive.
Finding out that it was actually a prequel bummed me out so much.

Well, the first I referenced is just the physical notion of self, more attuned to the article. If I realize that I am x % bacteria, then it may change my perception of that physical self. But, I don't believe that it would, per se, cause me to question my very existence as a self.

However, I agree that if I were inclined, then it could certainly be one of any number of factors (including mindfulness meditation or any serious conscious consideration) that prompts me to start thinking about or questioning my "self" as a sentient entity beyond just my physical being.

I just don't believe that such an outcome is inevitable or that those two experiences of self necessarily converge. That is, one can certainly question the former without ever considering the latter. In fact, I would wager that most who encounter an article such as this would fall into that category.
Good to know.
Wanted to go full-stack this year and decided to try "serverless", lets see how it goes :D
Companies don't make money out of thin air. In general, if something costs the company money they will pass those costs onto the consumer (or cease to exist).

If your regulation costs more than it saves consumers, then it'll need extraordinary justification, i.e. all of the costs are carried by only few consumers.
People should ask themselves what would happen to them if Google (or Facebook or Microsoft or Apple) flagged their account for any reason, be it believing they're a bot, not liking the content they post, etc. and permanently closed their account.

How would they recover their access to their other accounts? Do they have backups of the information they rely on? What is the burden or cost of this risk?
That's almost right, but you have the Botai horse and Przewalski's horse confused. The Botai were a human culture living in what is now Kazakhstan, approximately 3700-3100 BCE. They kept domesticated horses, and are the earliest culture known to have done so, so "Botai horse" would be a name for whatever kind of horses they had.

Przewalski's horse is a population of horses that exists today. It was considered the last wild horse (meaning: neither domesticated nor descended from domesticated horses), but the article says it is merely a feral population descended from Botai horses.

They give taxpayers two rounding options of which a given filing must consistently pick one or the other.

The first is to put whole dollar amounts on all the lines on all the forms, and to round those as you say. Even that one doesn't round all intermediate numbers used in calculations, only the lines on the form.

The other is to be precise to the penny.

Both are allowed by the official instructions, even if software like TurboTax Online always picks the first.
Stretch.

And stretch properly. Not some weak stretch like what you did in high school PE class. I'm talking about a deep stretch that you feel throughout your muscles, and still feel hours afterwards. There's a lot of overlap with yoga here. Anecdotally, I've had back pain that's progressively gotten worse from deadlifts. Doing a very deep pigeon pose stretched out my glutes and my back has gotten significantly better.

Check out ManFlowYoga on YouTube. Some of his videos are excellent, some are somewhat lacking.
And you have this with containers as with serverless. So no argument here.

Zappa[1] allows you to do this (for python WSGI apps - I'm not sure if there is a similar option for hosting a Rails app serverlessly). I've found it very straight-forward to use for my Django app. I also like that if I choose to, I can ditch Zappa and host my app elsewhere (such as on Heroku) without really changing my app's code.

Can't you lower the latency of a cold start with less code?
That may change. S3, for example, is a building block for applications and abstracts away servers completely from the developer.

As do the following:

* SQS

* SNS

* DynamoDB

* Step Functions

* Lambda

* API Gateway

* CloudWatch Logs

* Cognito

* DynamoDB

You can build entire applications with the services above and never have to bother managing instances. It's not just about running code.
I seem to recall reading an article in Wired back in the 90s about Danny Hillis, The Clock and how he liked to give everyone piggy back rides. Actually, reading that article about Danny way back then definitely inspired me to realize that its OK to have big huge enormous ideas and do things that other people think might be a little weird or silly. Kind of like 10,000 year clocks and running up and down hallways with strangers on your back.

Judges do also make new law even where existing statutes and precedents don't give an answer to follow. As one of many examples, California's courts invented our current idea about strict product liability for manufacturers. Statutes came second.

This is part of our longstanding common law tradition, going back far beyond the prominence of statutes.
Cool article
Every time 1Password is mentioned here, the top comments complain about their new subscription model. And yet, they've never made any noise suggesting it isn't working out well for them as a company.

I'm beginning to think that it's just the HN echo chamber, and that the majority of users (the sort of people who have never filed bug reports against a compiler, let's say) are fine with reasonably priced subscriptions. As a techie, this rubs me strangely, but as a budding indie developer, it's rather reassuring.

There's several things that drive me crazy about 1Password, but subscriptions aren't near the top of that list.
Ours is 1.70 or so. Trader Joe's has a bad record for suddenly ceasing production of stuff I like, so I buy a few dozen bars at a time. There's a noticeable difference between the first bar of a purchase batch and the last a few months later -- less fruity glossy snap, but I also find it more "cocoa"ish.
If you answer 2. with "yes" then 1. is probably "yes" too.

PaaS is "serverless" but currently, people think more of FaaS when using the term.

I think FaaS is more flexible than PaaS, especially when it comes to pricing and scaling.
Your original comment was about language semantics. You then provided an example of something you claimed could not be done monadically. I pointed out that you could implement such a thing with "indexed monads", which are a subclass of monads (although not one that's easily used in any current programming language, Haskell included).

You then claimed that in order to implement the memory allocation example you would need substructural types, which is not the case. Then you claimed that you needed the type system feature to verify the memory was allocated/released correctly.

You are correct that you need an advanced type system and type checker to do the memory validation. However, the validator tool only needs to know about one monad (your resource one). This one monad is a small subset in the very large space of 'things that form a monad'.

It's like if I said, 'groups are about arithmetic'. While true that many arithmetic operations can be expressed as a group, groups are not inherently about arithmetic. That would be conflating common use cases with the generalization.

It’s a difference in kind. Its not that some stayed, it’s that so very few left, especially when it was obvious 25 years ago that there was no economic base. Even moving 1 hour away to a major city was too much for them.

With the exception of one, even the ones I thought for sure would move didn’t. That’s what makes me shake my head. I just took it for granted their parents gave them a similar talk about having to move away like my mom gave me.

Guess not.
This means you're an "engineer" but not yet an economist.

Try to study economics if you're really serious about your career in cryptocurrency area, you'll find yourself thinking completely differently. At least you'll get to a point where you don't make a wholesale criticism like this but can say "I know it would be better to have a tech that consumes less energy, but I also understand why it's not a trivial issue, because physics and economics."

One of the biggest fallacies in the history of economics that repeats itself over and over and over again is that people make decisions based on what they can see but they neglect what they can't see that happens as a result of what they can see.

As much as I would like to see PoS work, it may just be the case is that at the end of the day, PoS and PoW are the same in the grand scheme of things, not because of some greedy people with financial interest but because of physics. It's hard to make sense of this unless you study economics, no matter how great of an engineer you are.

[Edit] I hope my comment works as a wakeup call for those of you who are open minded enough to learn a piece of the puzzle that's obviously missing from your mindset (I shared it because once I learned it, I was so regretful for not having studied even a little bit of economics in my life until now), but looking at all the downvotes, looks like most people don't like to hear what they don't like to hear. I don't really mind, suit yourself. But just remember "Cryptocurrency" is "Crypto" + "Currency", which means it's not just CS, but also economics.
I think this misses a major fact which is that many revolutionary scientists were extremely philosophical people and developed new theories by thinking out of the box and reimagining the way things work instead of accepting the ideas of their time. There are people who were simply diligent and bright, like Karl Von Frisch, but, for example, Stephen J Gould basically started the entire field of developmental biology through his philosophical exploration of the idea that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.
Interesting. In (Brazilian) Portuguese, "isso" and "isso aí" ("this", "this there") is used to confirm or agree with something, so it seems the expression survived the times.

Sanskrit also lacked a single affirmative particle, instead using various words/phrases meaning "true" or "it is so" (sat, satya, astu)

There are clock that run on small temperature variations, there seem to be commercial ones with a hefty price tag:

http://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/us/en/watches/atmos/atmos-cl...

(previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16419434)

The problem is those don't have an automatic synchronization mechanism. That's the really tricky/cool part about the 10ky clock.

If you wanted to create, say, a time capsule that'll last for 1000 years with a working watch, I think your best bet would be some ultra-low power microcontroller and an LCD that you could turn on occasionally. Both power and syncronization could be done from temperature variations. Just leave it buried somewhere outdoors exposed to daily (night and day) and seasonal variations, it should be enough to keep time with +/- a few hours at decent probability.

Just make sure to avoid anything that exhibits remotely any degradation, like electrolytic capactitors, and account for erosion of the moving parts.

Do you really need 1 TB in the cloud? How much of that do you actually use? Or is it like how people hoard stuff in their garage that they never use but think they will so are afraid to throw it away.
> Pay your taxes - not only the right thing to do

I find it stunning anyone can deliver a line like this as if the issue is quite simple, just a matter of greed vs. personal responsibility, of paying what is owed, etc, seemingly without a shred of doubt. How many deaths of Iraqi children is it that the US embargo is thought to have caused again? Isn't the federal government still grinding toward the 50th year of the drug war? "The right thing to do," it is vastly more complicated than that, and the older I get, the more it looks like when I pay the IRS, I'm feeding a machine that causes misery to others to avoid inconvenience to myself.

Just saying "WRONG!" and "You think you know this? Bah, you're an idiot" all the time makes me less likely to learn from you specifically AND less likely to learn in general.

Right. That's such a bad teaching strategy, it's more like a technique for fighting education.

Every "why do I have to..." and "Can't we just..." and "this isn't FAIR!" is an opportunity to engage them.

That is profound, actually. I may indeed use those as teaching moments. If my teen-aged kids can convincingly argue the other side, I might just raise their score a point, credit their account, then give them a chance to think out how they can make at least a part of their goal happen after all.

Every "because I said so"

Adults need to remember that "because I said so" only flies with little kids. (And even then not necessarily.) It certainly doesn't fly with adults, and teens are kids becoming adults.

But all that said, when someone brings up an idea with merit containing a potentially mental-model revising observation, there are two kinds of people in the world: People who consider the idea sincerely, and people who refuse to do so. In that case, be the smart one!
