Try being a pessimist, it's the best way to be happy.

Assume you will fail. If you're right, it feels good to be right. If you succeed, well it feels good to succeed, and you can ignore your failed prediction.

Also, try lowering your standards. You must know (of) someone who is doing worse than you. Compare to them, instead of to someone who is doing better.

You are right. I cannot seem to figure out how he went into the topic of crockpots from the other comment. Unless some of them look alike and he was just trying to make people aware of not mixing them up?
No, it said CMU Software Engineering Institute got that money, not CERT.org

It still seems like a huge amount of money, but at least it's plausible. Research grants, things like that I assume.
I would absolutely prefer my country to try blocking access to Github, Youtube or Wikipedia rather than Github/Youtube/Wikipedia to block particular content for it on its demand. In fact I would bypass the block anyway so it doesn't really matter practically but it matters a lot from the political point of view.

The governments/institutions demanding web sites to prevent their citizens from accessing particular content are modern day legal terrorists and tyrants and nobody should ever agree to negotiate such things with them nor volunteer to participate in oppressing their citizens.

If any of y'all liked the idea of this project for your kids but not the roadkill aspect, "Make Your Own Dinosaur Out of Chicken Bones" http://www.levins.com/bonebooks.shtml ... is a fun project. And instead of just macerating, you get to make soup!

NB: as I recall, it takes 2 chickens, some tools, and a lot of patience
The intuitive geometric description I sometimes use with people is to have them imagine two duplicate rectangles and cut a diagonal in each to form four equivalent triangles. Mentally label the hypotenuse c, the long side b, and the short side a. Then arrange the four triangles into a square with the perimeter consisting of sides of length a+b. Now from the outside area is simply (a+b)^2. But computed from the inside area will consist of 4 * (1/2 a*b) + the area of the central tilted square with sides c or c^2. Simple algebra yields a^2 + 2ab + b^2 = 2ab + c^2 or a^2 + b^2 = c^2. A more fun problem is imagining why there are 180 degrees in any triangle. And for that matter where did that 360 degrees in a circle come from (last one hint: imagine 6 duplicate equilateral triangles and arrange them into a hexagon, assign the Babylonian magic number 60 to each vertex and sum the interior central angles, after using one side to draw a circle around the hexagon).

But wasn't that also an all out war on the far left as well as minority movements vs letting the right-wing militants fester over time? I recall the 90s, esp. after the OKC bombing, having a lot more talk about militias. The media also plays up cartel violence or, usually black/Latino, gang violence more than we've ever seen discussion of the Aryan Brotherhood or, at the very least, classifying abortion clinic attacks/bombings (typically done by white Christians) as terrorist attacks.

That is a very good summary of the movie. I've watched it 3 times and love it more each time.
Same here. Last time I was at a craps table: pass line, come bet, with odds on both. Made something like $500 in less than an hour ($5 table). Granted, this doesn't happen every time. I do lose money sometimes. But, the atmosphere is fun. Chips flying all over the table... everyone drinking and feeling loose... laughs, jokes, chatting with others... the cheer when the shooter hits... camaraderie... it's great. Definitely better than sitting in your room. I see it as a form of entertainment. Before I go gambling, I plan it out. Determine how much I can comfortably play with. I also expect that I will lose it. And then once the money is gone, I'm done gambling.
Before you can convince even Five though, you have to have a case strong enough to bring to court in a court system that by design is reactive (contrast: proactive) to changes in the law. You then need to make it through any number of courts (local, State appeals, State Supreme, Federal district, Federal appeals, and finally SCOTUS), and then, if you make it that far, you have to hope SCOTUS decides to actually take your case on rather than kick the can back down to a lower court.

At any part of the process, litigation can come to an end if the parties involved decide to settle or if one of the parties chooses to stop fighting it. This is actually one of the ways the more controversial parts of US law have been in force for so long, either nobody has standing to bring a lawsuit, or if they do, the US Department of Justice will sometimes rather choose to stop litigating than potentially lose one of their more powerful legal instruments or reveal too much information about how they gathered evidence for a case in the first place.
I think they're not greedy. They are stupid.
I'm quite amazed how much money is spent for making movies and in return how crappy the story/script is, while everything else is getting better. I happily pay for the tickets and would watch all movies in the cinemas if I liked them, but usually just have to go for the ones with most visual effect.
As someone with large fingers, I despise this trend of removing/reducing the bezels --- making it harder to hold the phone without either blocking part of the screen with fingers or activating the touchscreen. The screen is plenty big enough already; another few mm is not going to make much difference either way.

Notching the display is merely another development in this trend, and what's worse is that it turns what usually is a reasonably standard LCD panel into an even more proprietary part with its associated manufacturing difficulties, since the dimensions of the notch then become another variable in the design.

(More ironically, web and UI design trends are going toward wider margins and blank space, almost as if to compensate.)
Yeah, neovim is a great project but still lacks imo compared to emacs. maybe when the ecosystem and plugins get more stabilized will it be a really compelling option for me to switch. once you get past some of the emacs oddities it's pretty much a better vim. The thing about neovim is that bram added the feature that neovim was initially forked off because of and he made vim's version incompatible with neovim's async. being able to have transient buffers in emacs is a very powerful feature that is used all over the place (magit is one that does this very effectively). I am not sure neovim has all the necessary fundamental building blocks to compete and allow these extremely rich plugins like orgmode, magit, helm, swoop, evil, etc. I could be wrong on that but the plugins on the emacs side are much more robust which leads me to believe that emacs is better at customization. only having lua as a baked in language is limiting just like only having viml as the builtin language for vim was limiting as to what could be done easily... most plugins will simply not use any other language for compatibility and ease of install even though it's possible to use ruby/python/etc. In addition the concepts of major(vim filetypes) and minor modes(editor enhancements) is pretty great too.

don't get me wrong, all that said, I couldn't and wouldn't use emacs if it didn't have a rich vim emulator.
See the example of

Account account = customer.GetAccount();

List<Transaction> transactions = account.GetTransactions();

Have I saved you any extra-effort here by specifying the types? You have no idea where these types came from or how they are defined. So why is this useful? 'Go to definition' works just as well on var.
Have you even used the iPhone X? Myself and every person I've talked to do not even notice the notch after a short period of use. And I was initially very skeptical of the notch too. A better mental model is that the iPhone has 2 additional 'ears' of usable screen.

Compare this to the S8 which not only has physical bezels on top and bottom, but also software status bar at the top and software home bar at the bottom cutting further into usable screen space.

Not to mention Apple have nailed the gesture based UX. It feels totally natural and is a pleasure to use. Whereas any time I have to use an android phone it feels clunky and poorly executed.

Call me a fanboy, whatever. But I have never found the same quality experience on an android phone that I get with my iPhone.
Medium looks fine in a text-only browser such as links. Better than most websites in fact.
This is one of those things where Android folks made fun of the notch, to the extent that Samsung even made an ad making fun of it, and within a year, Android folks will have decided their notches are great, and in fact, better than Apple's notches for this reason or the other. (And of course, the "Essential did it first" thing has to crop up as well, even though they were likely developed without inspiration from each other at around the same time.)

Make fun of it right up until you copy it, is basically the industry standard now. Headphone jack going away was the same thing, pretty much.
All of those things for white men, at least since 2008.

Which you can read either way (oy, I must have karma to burn?). On the one hand, the anti-capitalist left in the US has historically had a contingent with racial undertones. On the other hand, literally every other group's station was improved at least in part through government mechanisms (equal protection under law, civil rights, etc.) rather than market mechanisms.

you can still do an oauth-like session + refresh token even with your own JWT implementation, just have a "refresh my session" endpoint that you go to with your refresh token (which is blacklistable), and have all the other calls be authenticated with the short-expiry stateless session token instead.
IPFS would do the job equally well.
Yes, but in current Java one would have to write

ArrayList<String> foo = new ArrayList<String>()

Or, at least

List<String> foo = new ArrayList<String>()

Whereas with `var`, as you show, the compiler infers the type. Proponents of this point out exactly what you did: the type is right there, so why should the programmer have to write it twice?
The parent of you wasn't confused; he was arguing that the reason for doing it is to have a thinner bezel, and that is a purely cosmetic reason. So, the iPhone and Essential notches are cosmetic.

I agree with him, I found the use of the term in the article to be bizarre. When he claimed the notches were "purely cosmetic" I read ahead, excited to read something silly; like that the notches didn't house anything, or they were actually just a piece of plastic extending over the screen.

Instead, his argument seemed to be, that if you have a notch, but otherwise design your phone differently from Apple, you're ripping off Apple and doing it for cosmetics. I'm pretty sure if they had gone ahead and done everything the same as the iPhone, he would have written a slightly different article, where he was just as annoyed.
You could just use ublock and get rid of those parts manually on articles pages
So the inter-company envy is coming back, like when iOS copied flat interface ideas from Windows Phone. I am wondering why we always end up with unified bland stuff instead of many possible variations so that everyone can choose what they like? It seems like nobody wants to take risks anymore. I remember time when every single app had completely different interface; these days everything looks alike. Even if it is more economical, one size doesn't fit all.
This is kind of what I was getting at... other languages seem to have a webasm pipeline that includes LLVM. I wanted to know what what the difference was between go and these languages that require one to use something other than LLVM.

There is an article here debunking the idea that breaking the 4 minute barrier had any psychological effect on other runners:

http://www.scienceofrunning.com/2017/05/the-roger-bannister-...

TLDR - the mile record times at that period closely track the 1500m times, which had no similar 'psychological' barrier. Also the impact of WW2 had slowed down record breaking leading up to that time.

Haha! What if we had a website where people could post such ideas and discuss them? The process of discussing and refining an idea would make it un-patentable?

That would be an interesting forum for geeks / problem solvers AND would kill stupid/obvious patents as a side effect, and act as a repository of prior art!

Since such discussions might articulate at least the broad ideas (even if they don’t get to a specific implementation) this might discourage at least overly broad patents.

PS: Did I just make this idea un-patentable by anyone else? :D

Unfortunately that is now how patents work.
It seems grandiose to call that 'certificate pinning' when it is just hard coding, e.g. a self-signed CA cert or (worse) a particular server cert.

You’re obviously going to lose money over time, but what makes craps fun is high variance. It’s pretty common to double or triple your money before losing it all and then some. You can definitely walk away a big winner if you’re just playing for a night or a weekend, though chances are, you won’t.

Slots on the other hand is just a depressing one way money drain and I have no idea why people enjoy them.

There's an owl living above an abandoned silo on a relative's property. It's always fun to see how interested kids are in looking through the bones at the bottom. Though in this case there are too may different types of bones to attempt to make a full skeleton.
Containers aren’t VMs. There’s no VM to escape, and Xen has nothing whatsoever to do with containers. Ironically, there’s a really good explanation of this topic which was given by the author at a conference.

Also, this is a write-up about something cool that author discovered. It’s about the fact that dot slash isn’t magic, but rather a feature which can be (ab)used to do something out of the ordinary. Sounds like a blog post to me.

Yes, if anything, the notch seems like an obvious, but aesthetically questionable and therefore risky, move. Apple doing it, and people apparently liking it (...really?...) derisked it.

"The year was 1986 ... ended up settling on Las Vegas's MGM Grand."

This immediately made me think this story is made up: the MGM Grand as described and pictured opened in 1993. As noted in the comments, the actual year is more likely 1988 and the casino likely Bally's.
It would seem to be a concept that "if you build it, they will come." But herding a dozen-somethings is just impractical.

Having been to a couple of legacy Intentional Living (former communes) communities - it's all very complicated. Everyone has to be on a near-same wavelength or they don't work. Turnover is high.

I'm helping a relative slowly develop a property north of the bay. It's a recreational project now, but if there were structures there, people are already lining up. Thing is, taking raw land and getting permitted infrastructure to handle a dozen people is probably ~$150-200K on the cheap side. He wants to experiment, all sorts of alternative ideas (i.e. take forever), but he's letting me build a tiny timber frame.

His idea is a "Benevolent Dictator" model. It would be more like a campground with internet. You would rent, or trade labor by invite. Most people would probably live in a city (what you see in most Intentional Living communities now) but have their country "chata."
They talk as if they have some sort of scientific or mathematical proof of this.

But all they have is "it seems to me that".

You can publish that, sure, think tanks do that kind of thing all the time. But that's not a scientific paper, not as I understand the concept.

I tested going to a https link via gmail. On desktop chrome, it immediately opens the link (and hence passes the link parameters). On mobile it pops up a privacy error, "Attackers might be trying to steal your information" (NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID), which is certainly the right thing to do. Still have to try it on Office365 and Outlook.
Airlines aren't responsible for security. The rules are specified by the IATA and national agencies and security is either handled by a government department (e.g. TSA) or by the airport itself.

Also, switching off electronic devices has nothing to do with security. The apparent reason is that it can cause issues with navigation, as was theorised after a plane crash in the 90's. Most flights these days don't even require you to turn your electronics off, or even put it in airplane mode.

I'm fairly sure the reason that they made you turn your electronics off wasn't even for the plane, but rather to ensure that you pay attention to the safety briefing.

Your experience is valid, but keep in mind most people don't have that 9 years of experience in a single company to base their hirability on. Employers can give you the benefit of doubt, due to your resume, that you're a good hire. Not so for most younger developers. So what else is there for employers to look at other than proven rockstars and hobby coders?

Keep in mind I agree with you, but I certainly understand the mindset that the parent comment was criticizing.
