I found this article very interesting. I had no idea that Madison proposed 12 amendments (10 of which were the bill of rights and 1 of which was accepted in 1989). The 'lost' 12th amendment which "provided a formula for determining the number of seats in the House of Representatives" has very much been on my mind.

Ironically, it gave me some comfort to know that the issue was as politically impossible to pass then as it is now. It gives me hope that it could be passed knowing that opinion, not a cabal of interests, stands in the way.
I work at one of the other Big4 and to be honest it's not that impressive. This kind of report would be a high severity ticket, the person on-call for the given team would get paged, and wouldn't stop working/escalating until it got fixed.

Obviously not all companies behave this way, but they should!

JK Rowling has said she wrote something like 20 versions of the first chapter of the first (Harry Potter) book and if you read them all, you would have known all the major plot points for the first several books.

Storytelling is about more than just deciding the plot. It is very much about staging the reveal of details.

IIRC from reading papers, there seems to be a dose-response effect, both w.r.t intensity and match to peak sensitive wavelength (~465nm). Even green light has some effect.

Avoiding blue light at night after you go to sleep is definitely an under-appreciated problem, especially for folks that stay up late. If you have a habit of going to bed at 2:30am, and the sun rises at 5:30am and comes in your window, you're getting blue light during your circadian night (enough light can make it in through your eyelids to be a problem) -- this may screw up your sleep schedule.

Do you have any literature on this being called a pseudo-mode and the tradeoffs between it and "real" modes? I am currently pretty interested in these kinds of topics.
This was always my question too. What’s the point of a 300$ keyboard that minimizes movement when you have to move your entire hand every time you you need a mouse?

Completely avoiding the mouse isn’t an option for some workflows.

I wish there were more keyboards with IBM-style trackpoints.
There's a ton of competing theories that like to point out that previous depressions lasted a year or two while the Great Depression went on and on because of all the government interventions that prevented the economy from being able to recover.
No. Not at all - you do want blue light in the day, that too helps keep your clock regular. (A constant morning time is crucial.) But all that won't compensate for blue light stretching into the evening.

Even way more red light at the same time as some blue light in the evening, while it helps reduce the effect of the blue, isn't fully effective.
I just tried this and Alt-l seems to move to the line above (equiv. to Esc+l), Alt-J the line below, and in gvim it produces some accented characters for me. It would have been a good combination for finger movement though.
It is, but the first party software is awful for it. The videos you linked below are a pretty primitive version of what's currently available.

My own project: https://talonvoice.com (only requires a single eye tracker, has realtime precise movement similar to the eye+head projects below, and integrates with a very fast and powerful voice control system).

https://21clicks.net/share/-L5eU8SeIbUDcgsQa3_l - click Replay. This is completely hands-free using Talon's eye tracking and a noise recognizer (hiss to click). I consider what I have right now to be an unpolished tech demo, which will get significantly better as I cross many accuracy/speed TODOs off my list.

These projects require both a eye and head tracker (are still fast and precise):

A lot of the commenters here don't understand the cryptocurrency market and are vastly overstating Ethereum's flaws.

The truth is that the EVM is perfectly secure and the problems with Solidity are due to the fact that any new smart contract development environment was bound to have problems at the initial stages.

Solidity is being rapidly improved and there are several other programming languages under development for the EVM as well.

As for market significance, Ethereum is the only smart contract platform that's relevant.

There are now over a million MetaMask installations that can interact with any Ethereum Dapp, and millions of MEW wallets that can hold ERC20 tokens.

Ethereum-based tokens saw their share of the total token market cap grow from 73% to 92% from July 2017 to January 2018. The platform has 30X more developers working on it than the next most active one.

That means that almost all of the decentralized exchanges and other value-adding applications are compatible with the ERC20 standard, creating a positive feedback loop of encouraging new projects to build on Ethereum.

Ethereum is more likely than not going to be the platform for smart contract development.
I've spent prolonged periods living away from artificial light. In such situations, the lunar cycle has a profound effect on your psychology and sociology. New moons are quiet times, and wildest parties happen at full moon. Makes me think that "lunatic" is probably a very, very, very ancient concept.
Do you also think that one can only learn Computer Science effectively by taking classes?
Wow, violently disagree?

So stories like The Fugitive, The Shawshank Redemption, Fight Club, Leon, Snatch, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Up, Die Hard, and The Big Lebowski sucked because they made use of this technique?
I see. What's your personal view on eliminating them? I'm trying to rule out the possibility that I've given myself a nocebo effect.

I'm really glad you mentioned the concurrency problem from day 18, because this was one of those personal "eureka!" moments I had while learning D. I had no idea that concurrency could be so simple, and this is not even having any special built-in support aside from thread-local data by default. This is all in _user_ code.

By that same token, std.parallelism.parallel was one of those things where I just looked at it and thought "man, you can actually _do_ something like that?"

Well, there's apparently a term within China, "paramount leader", describing their head of state.

"Supreme Leader" isn't a term specific to North Korea. It's a loose term denoting the one who has the most power. There's no need to be rude.

That's because it's taken out of context: the fifteen tweets could well be responses to other tweets, maybe even in a conversational back-and-forth thread.

The hilarious part about the apportionment amendment is that there's nothing stopping it from being passed into law if enough state legislatures ratify it. Sure, it's extremely improbable, but if it happened, it would be extremely disruptive. We wouldn't even be able to physically fit the House of Representatives in the chamber anymore.

Interesting article.

> Your browser is usually clever enough to use the working IP address if the other one is not working.

I found this to not work well. Have you tested it? For me it took 1-2 minutes for Chromium to switch over to the second entry after it had loaded the page from the first entry once (with a white page and spinning spinner during that time); this is usually not acceptable for site visitors as they will get impatient and leave already after a couple seconds.

What I'm using instead for a setup is multiple A entries in combination with active removal of down IP addresses from the response using e.g. Route53 health checks and 10-second TTLs.
There's an interesting demonstration of this on Youtube:

"The Worlds Blackest Black vs The Worlds Brightest Flashlight (32,000 lumen)—Which Will Win?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaFdCvnV8PM

To summarize, the flashlight wins, and it's reasonable to expect the effect would be the same with a laser and sensitive detection equipment.
I agree with everything except that "even" in the second sentence. It would be more correct without it.

Bigger the error, the more difficult it gets (for anyone including media) to admit it.

> I've been learning math from Khan Academy for the last 200 days. I've reached calculus and I feel more and more the need for examples of how to apply the math that I'm learning to truly understand what it's useful for.

Just so that you know this was my impression at a university as well. In fact, calculus courses are translated into "basic mathematics." I think this underlines how much these courses are about learning the tooling for practical applications taught in later classes.
This doesn't have anything to do with social media "addiction". It just shows plainly how bad the NYT has gotten when even the simplest most trivially checkable assertions of its reporters turn out to be slimy and weaselly. How can you trust anything they write when things that you can verify turn out to be "true" only with the most absurd definitions of "true"?

The NYT 20+ years ago wouldn't have let this happen and would have taken action. The NYT of today isn't the same.
There's a very long bibliography stretching back more than a decade and including at least one mouse model of depression. It's not just one study.
They're not technically the same story, but the new information isn't enough to alter the topic (abolishing term limits of presidency in China), so the discussion is guaranteed to be the same.

as I've become more open to other people's political worldviews, I've come to understand that any extant political 'movement' (for lack of a better term) has advocates (and opposition) in both categories you mention: interested beneficiaries and prescriptive advocates.

My favorite "toys", by far, are those happy, cheerful, friendly implementations of famous problems, that make for a fun but educative learning experience.

It may not be as huge in scope, but allow me to plug my own initiative:

https://www.latenightsnack.io

I set out to replicate the joy of reading through code listings in old magazines, and present seemingly-complicated problems in a simple and concise way.

Some of the problems I will approach in the future are text and image compression, compilers, chains, http servers, and so on.

I would love if you had a look!
Weirdly, we now know that even the brain has light receptors. (The skull is very transparent when wet with CSF.) Night nurses know that a flashlight hitting a sleeping patients leg in darkness causes a contraction.

Sleep masks help a lot - but they aren't a full solution.
There are exceptions, but in almost all cases, an application hacking the OS' RAM management is slowing down other applications disproportionally in order to make itself seem faster.

Shaming such RAM hogging applications is not just legitimate, it's very much necessary. Otherwise all applications would just reserve as much RAM as they can convince the OS to give them, even if they have no real use for it.
There is no checks for this in place, so users need to understand the technical implications and punish RAM hoggers by avoiding them.

If your application can utilize RAM to disproportionally speed itself up and therefore on average speed up the workflow of most users, then that's legitimate, too, and an informed user will see the value.

On the other hand you may turn away depressed people who are not in a crisis because they don't want to be associated with the idea of suicide when their main problem is they have no will or energy to do anything ever. You might end up hurting these people by constantly mentioning suicide whenever they finally get the guts to learn about their depression. "Oh, you depressed? Here, read about suicide! Let me scare you back into your hole!"

What’s the point of a 300$ keyboard that minimizes movement when you have to move your entire hand every time you you need a mouse?

The point is to reduce strain and fatigue of the fingers and wrists, not to reduce movement for the sake of reducing movement.

Mouse ergonomics is a completely separate can of worms.
It should be noted that Orgs should be setup when new AWS accounts are created, as it can be tricky to perform once your have systems in production. I would even go so far as to say if you want to commit to Orgs, create a new AWS account hierarchy and move your applications and infrastructure into it.

The best I've found isn't sold as a sleep mask, but a "heat massage" mask with beads in it. I never heat it, I only use it as a sleep mask, the beads provide a wonderful, and comfortable, light seal.
yes that is more parsimonious however in non-technical language the term "radiator" is associated with heat exchangers. if you put heat exchangers on the sides of your spacecraft they would function as radiators so I suppose it doesn't matter anyway, arguing semantics is a waste of time.
For starters, the south didn't overthrow anyone's government; they opted to leave the Federal union.

Secondly, there was no appetite for continuing the war longer than 1865, or for extending Reconstruction much past Grant's term of office. A prolonged occupation of the south, such that white people there could be taught that white-supermacy-is-wrong-m'kay at gunpoint until they finally understood...that doesn't happen in this timeline or any proximate one.

This has been my experience as well. My vimrc is full of little niceties that I could live without, but if I end up in a vim without my shortcut keys I'd be like 'Oh this again I guess I have to :bn :bn instead of <C-q><C-q>'

I haven't really forgotten any of the long form commands that I create shortcuts for, but it's really annoying using the long forms when typing them out over and over was the reason why I created shortcuts for them in the first place...
My intent was not to attack the tutorial, and much less the author, but to take a different position on one point raised by it. As I said in the last paragraph of my post, I like this tutorial and the way it teaches testing as an essential part of programming. Let me add that I think increased and automated testing, performed concurrently with coding, is the best single thing every organization I have worked for could do to improve the reliability of its software.

Nor do I think you are justified in claiming a straw man, as I am not simply saying bad tests are not good, just as the author is not simply saying that, in general, tests are good. The point is that when you are mistaken in exactly what needs to be done by your code, or whether your intended solution fully achieves that, then your passing tests may not show that your code is satisfying its intended purpose, because your tests are written under the same misapprehensions as your code. It may not be possible to show plausible short examples, but the bigger your system gets, the more internal interfaces it has, and the more cross-cutting consistency issues it accrues, the more likely this is to be a problem. This, IMHO, has been one of the hard problems of software development, and one of the reasons why there has not yet been found a silver bullet, TDD notwithstanding.

Nor do I think it is a pedantic point, if you take into account current opinions about how to develop software. The views that I disagree with are not uncommonly seen in articles, books, tutorials and on Stack Overflow, in support of claims for the efficacy of, and necessity for, a strict interpretation of TDD. Again IMHO, this significantly understates the difficulties in writing correct code and avoids considering the problems that contribute most to this difficulty, and a dissenting view has to be raised from time to time.

WRT high-shool debate, I think it has been ruined by rules that scores points made regardless of relevance, coherence or even accuracy, so I hope I am not doing the same thing.

That isn't Vantablack as such though, is it? Afaik, Vantablack proper requires a specific application process [1], which I've mentally envisaged as being something akin to growing diamonds in a lab on a substrate, or applying flocking to materials.

The argument was "engineers/scientists find fraternities repulsive". Arguing that a top scientist was a jerk/misogynist/racist/sexist/whatever doesn't refute that.
I've used a Kinesis for years and have found my favorite 'mouse' pairing to be a Kensington Slimblade.
