It happened on a Tuesday in late January, 1986, just before noon, so before lunchtime.

I remember being home sick, and seeing the footage interrupt my usual sick day routine of watching daytime TV. At that hour, I’d normally have been watching The Price is Right, with Bob Barker on CBS or possibly I Love Lucy reruns on another channel. I didn’t watch it live, but I remember it being all over TV once it happened.

When my sister got home from school, I had to explain that something weird was going on, and I was watching that instead of cartoons. I was too young to really grasp the gravity of what had occurred. She paused, watched warily, looked concerned, said Oh Man! and then went about here after school tasks, and then ran back out to meet friends.

For what seemed like weeks after, elementary school projects were devoted to understanding the disaster. They sat us in the gymnasium we watched a VHS recording and then talked about why this event was both unfortunate and significant. After questions and answers, we were then tasked to make cards that would be collected and sent to Nasa, as an expression of sympathy.

I would not be surprised that someone who is a victim has an axe to grind with a genocidal expropriative regime. What is surprising is that there are colonial apologists still around and pushing typical justifications for slavery, genocide and other crimes against humanity.

I'm sorry, I think I was unclear; I totally agree with you that the benefits of fasting are well documented and extensively studied. In addition to conveying possible mental benefit, the fasting is an attempt on my part to feel hunger again. I recognize that probably does not come off well, but I'm never hungry. It's been years. I don't eat all the time, I just eat when I feel like it. I remember times when I was actually hungry, and while life is easier now, I think it might be useful to go find that hunger again.
Would you mind explaining the mechanics of this in more detail? I too was wondering why whatever I did seemed to sound good.

So? How do you tell between commercial and OSS projects in journald?

And about that "quick" part, I'd rather have a way to do that that's either
easy to recall or easy to re-develop. journald's magical incantations that
don't compose to any consistent language (unlike Vim or Emacs keybindings, for
instance) nor are the same as in virtually any other software are not
convenient by any stretch. I have my memory cluttered enough by half a dozen
of different languages I use, their runtimes, runtimes of languages I don't
write in but need for some software I run, twice that of DSLs and specialized
languages, options and functions of dozens of services, wire formats of
network protocols, management procedures of various Linux subsystems, and so
on. I don't need an option to a command to tell me what you ask, I can work
my way through grep/sed/awk faster than you read man page, thank you very
much.

Long term sleep deprivation is bad for your health/brain. When you sleep your organism is getting rid of the toxins from your brain. There was a study some time ago that showed if you sleep less than 7 hours a day then proteins connected with Alzheimer disease accumulate in your brain.
Actual audio from the “evil dot com” example can be found here: https://nicholas.carlini.com/code/audio_adversarial_examples...

It’s only hard to hear on a phone speaker at low volume on the 50dB example. All other examples have what sounds like some sort of static or background noise.

Granted, to an average consumer it may sound like just bad audio, but it’s not imperceptible and thus can be screened for.

Most likely we’ll end up in the same perpetual update cycle as other computer security - someone finds an exploit, that exploit is either reported for a bounty or discovered in active use in the wild, a fix is implemented and exploit is added to the test suite.

For ML that will mean adding the examples of the exploits into the learning sets/providing negative re-enforcement feedbacks.

The question will be whether we can get enough of these caught before some machinery injures someone because it saw something that wasn’t there or accepted a malicious command, and it becomes a media frenzy.
You should be careful doing that too regularly. Once a week is the maximum I’ve understood would be healthy for typical first world lifestyles.

It will otherwise coax your body into starvation response. This is true even with low calorie diets.

You can cause you’re body to retain store energy and retain fat rather than in a constant state of burning what you take in.

If you’re looking to lose weight you’re better off just limiting carbohydrates on non workout days. Eat a lot of vegetables and protein, take a multi, and do cardio and high intensity interval training 3-5 times a week.

If you want to build strength and lose weight then mix in resistance training into the routine as well.

As a baseline that schedule will help with anxiety, depression, and get your metabolism on track.

For most people, that is. I’ve been on antidepressants before as well as some anxiolytics. Excercise, vitamins, and eating healthy most of the time does a world of difference. Another benefit is you don’t have to limit you’re calories as harshly. Energy levels go up as well— to the point where sitting at a desk all day is too much idling!

Btw, I eat between 2 and 6 eggs a day (between breakfast and lunch), use butter/olive oil/sesame oil in cooking regularly, and my cholesterol has never been high following that general scheme. No hacks or tricks.

If you are deficient then the amount you take is dependent on how your levels change given a trial amount. No one is the same here.

Testing is really the only way to know how much you should be taking
"Justifiable" is the key word though. Why do I need to justify what I'm working on daily unless I'm not trusted? I mean, like most programmers, I have a four year computer science degree that was definitely not easy to obtain, I have like 10 years of experience, I've shown an understanding for prioritizing things that actually are important for the business, and they pay me a six figure salary for my expertise, so having to justify myself daily seems, frankly, insulting. I've worked in places where I didn't have to do that, and you know what? The sky didn't fall. Work still got done. (I would argue, more work, because people were more engaged since they felt a sense of ownership). We just had extra time in the day from fewer useless meetings, and a lot less politics from people trying to game the numbers they pull out of Jira and stuff like that.

I don't know the story behind the separate venv package (and can't imagine why this is a separate package).

pip relies on bundled libraries and tries hard to fight any unbundling (by using slightly patched versions of the dependencies if I remember correctly). This makes it difficult to package. You can see as an additional proof of Debian messing with packages while on the Debian side, this is just the application of a distro-wide policy. If every piece of software should get an exception to the rule, we don't have a distribution anymore.
Your grandma was right.
I feel really nostalgic about Geany. That was my favorite editor back in the time, before I switched to Vim almost 10 years ago. It was pretty solid already. Good to see it's doing well after all these new/modern editors started to pop up.

> When you sleep your organism is getting rid of the toxins from your brain

Is this generally accepted to be true these days?
I think we pretty much agree, identification can be done just from images, learning only from them asks for quite a lot. The issue is probably that annotating thousands of images is a comparatively easy task when compared to doing this on years of video from a camera moving through the world. And who has the time to watch a neural network ingesting videos for several years? But something like that may be necessary if you want to achieve human-level performance by learning from scratch, watching billions of video frames. I guess you can take a shortcut, sort of, and get away with a lot less training examples but only if you engineer a lot of the fundamentals about the world into the system and avoid having to learn them, too, and all in one process.
There are more attacks than just overfitting errors for visual domains. Mirrors, lasers, [transparent] masks, costumes, environmental conditions (many factors here), high speed motion, twins, polymorphic objects, optical illusions, color inversions; and that's not even getting into behavior variations. Once DNN can handle all of these things, they will be so deep and varied, they could easily have more hallucinations because of their growing complexity, trying to adapt.
Like the JWST?
Many services don't log to syslog. For example, on Debian derivatives, /etc/init.d/networking was logging to the console only. Good luck to get the output once the system has booted. With systemd/journald, you get the info.
It's better to use Debian Unstable because Testing doesn't get timely security updates.
Vitamin D deficiency and autism - Somali immigrants (very dark skinned, and thus northern Sun is too weak for them to cause generation of enough vitamin D plus they have more skin surface covered by clothing in Sweden compare to what it was back in Somali) in Minnesota and Sweden have very low, sometimes undetectable, vitamin D levels and high (compare to Somalis in Somali as well as to other populations around them in Sweden or Minnesota) autism rates of children born in immigration there.

Another Swedish study, non immigrant related, found a pattern of higher autism rates among children whose 3rd trimester was during winter. For illustration - brain formation during 3rd trimester - http://www.brainfacts.org/-/media/Brainfacts2/Archives/Artic...

The Einstein Nobel situation was very political. More and more physicists each year thought that Einstein should get it for special relativity, and later for that and/or general relativity.

However, there were a few physicists who thought specially relativity was bunk, and that included some who were very influential, such as 1905 Nobel winner Phillip Lenard. Until experimental proof of relativity was found, they had no trouble keeping the prize away from Einstein.

By 1919, when there was sufficient proof of general relativity that the "it's not been proved" excuse no longer worked, Germany had lost World War I, and a lot of people were looking for excuses to explain that loss, and Jews were a good target. Especially pacifist Jewish scientists like Einstein who had refused to turn their science toward the war effort. The prominent nationalist scientists, like Lenard, saw people like Einstein as practically traitors. They labeled relativity "Jewish Physics", as opposed to correct, "German Physics", and ascribed evil intent to those trying to mislead Germany with their fake Jewish physics. (Lenard went on the become "Chief of Aryan Physics" under the Nazis).

In 1921, the Prize committee did not find any of the nominees that year worthy, and considered not awarding the prize that year. This would make the already ridiculous situation with Einstein even worse--it's one thing to not give Einstein the prize because you give it to someone else. That at least makes some sense--at worst you might be seen as misjudging the importance of the winning work. But to say there is nothing worthy out there at all, when Einstein does not have even one of the arguably 3 he deserves? Absurd!

But giving the prize for relativity would piss off a lot of nationalist and/or antisemitic Germans, both among German scientists and German politicians. In the political climate of Germany at the time, this was not a good thing to do. Germany was still one of the most, if not the most important science countries in the world. Scientists do have to live in the real world, so there was reluctance.

Someone suggested that they give it to Einstein, but make it clear that they are not endorsing relativity, so he got the 1921 prize, "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect" with a note that this was "without taking into account the value that will be accorded your relativity and gravitation theories after these are confirmed in the future".

Given all that, I don't think you can infer that the Nobel committee giving him the prize for the photoelectric effect necessarily means they thought that it was his top accomplishment.
Even further back, arguably ed is the progenitor of vi and dates to 1969. Ed and ex were where vi got its terseness from. It was designed for a teletype or very slow modems, not an interactive terminal, which is why it was so terse. Emacs' lineage goes back even farther to TECO from 1962; Stallman originally implemented Emacs as a set of macros for TECO, which was highly programmable. The original usage envisioned for TECO was that you would examine a text printout, then devise a TECO program to transform the text to the new version, working essentially offline since time actually using the machine was scarce.

I think it's super interesting to look at the ancestry of these tools and how their progeny seem foreign to many people. I'm an avid vim user because it makes sense to me, but for many it's weird and alien.
Depends what your definition of "unified application is". If your application has many micro-services, then a single request from the outside could folk into many nested calls. JWT can benefit this by preventing each of these calls from making it's own external auth request.

PPAs make me very nervous. They're often on Launchpad (which appears to offer credibility) but AFAIK there are no checks on them, they're private repos the owner has given access to. Sure there are some, like inkscape-dev that I've can trust without too much issue.

AIUI installed packages get to run scripts with superuser privileges. This to me says "Danger Will Robinson!".
Those were just random examples to prove a point (daemons/services can have very varied origins).

The real question is:

So? :)
The thing is though, the number of times I've seen engineers work on conflicting/redundant things without realizing it (outside of the agile/scrum environment) has been vanishingly small. And the places I've seen it it's always been on separate teams that would never have been part of the same scrum group in the first place (ie, it was an inter-team problem rather than an intra-team problem)
There are three problems with your analysis.

1. You're comparing the final cost of the Shanghai-Beijing line to the current baseline estimate of a nascent project that has dramatically increased cost projections already. The high end estimate for the project is 100 billion, and I'd bet they find a way to exceed that if they ever finish.

2. Land values is not the only source of the difference. The 2018 California High Speed Rail authority business plan estimates the land costs at 15 billion. Even if land were free the project would be about twice as expensive as China's longer rail line.

3. You are assuming that because the differences are explained they are acceptable. "More regulation and higher land value - okay, we can spend four times as much per mile.". But that neglects comparing the actual usefulness of the project. How many people, over what time frame, would need to ride the line to make it worthwhile?

High speed rail may make sense in China where it can be done cheaply. That doesn't mean it makes sense to do it in California where it's more expensive.
> "clear willingness to to disregard law for personal gain"

You mean, the way you disregard the law when you speed in order to get somewhere sooner? Yes, I'm equating speeding with the use of marijuana. And I'd argue that speeding is actually way more dangerous.

I apologize if this comes off as harsh, but the sentiment you express has contributed to horrific abuse of the legal system for decades. Too many people feel generally like you do, willing to put up with wildly disproportionate punishments for no other reason than a law was broken, even if they don't really think the activities should be considered criminal.

Think about what you're saying: you don't really care much about the moral standing of the law, but you don't mind that folks prosecuted under it have their lives destroyed (sorry if I've distorted your position).

Remember, there's a lot of devil in the details of drug law. Florida, for example, assumes intent to distribute if you possess more than 20 grams of weed, allowing up to 5 years in prison and ten grand in fines. If the prosecutor finds a school, public housing, or even a fucking park within a thousand feet of your arrest, they can put you in prison for up to 15 years.

It's good that you're not a drug warrior type, and the american public as a whole is definitely coming to its senses regarding marijuana. But what kind of society puts up with destroying peoples lives for the sake of laws that they don't really feel strongly about?
I see. But that also mean the original investors - the ones that put the initial money - are getting sub par returns. Or government land subsidies play an important role here assuming that private developers have no access to it.

I don't see the lower returns as particularly damaging - there has been too much speculation in real state in recent decades. But that might not be the case once (if) returns get lower.
Ahhh Easter Egg! Firmware version! Love it!
That explains why telegram might be worth over $1 billion one day (or even today).

It still doesn't explain why telegram needs $1 billion.

It also doesn't explain how any of the value of telegram is imparted to the coin itself.

Just because a coin is associated with a company doesn't make it as valuable as the company.

I know what kind of job I want. Generally I want to work at place that gives me some degree of freedom in the way I approach a problem,

I wouldn't think that most companies would give an inexperienced developer too much freedom. In fact, you shouldn't want it. I spent the first 12 years of my career working at two companies where I had complete freedom of implementation and no mentoring. I was a good developer (I'd been a hobbyist for 10 years before that),but I didn't know what I didn't know.

enables and supports further education of employees with conferences and literature, for both technical and domain knowledge, and respects the work life balance.

Whether it should be this way or not, never depend on a company to advance your career or technical knowledge. You are responsible for both.

I would go so far as to say don't expect good work life balance as a junior developer. It's going to take you a lot longer to add business value and only with experience and skill is your value based on your experience and knowledge and not just your ability to crank out code. Once you get to that point, life is easier.

For example, even though I'm still a hands on coder, most companies don't grill me about technical minutae during interviews. They care more about my architectural skills than my raw coding skills (even though I have both).
