I'm surprised that `javascript-state-machine`[1] hasn't come up yet as a suggestion. A simple implementation of the bank-account example [2] shows why the pattern is interesting when the implementation can be declarative.

I haven't tried building a nested/hierarchical state-machine with it - mostly because I have been able to decompose my problems into units that didn't need them, but also because hierarchical state machines always give me a head-ache larger than deadline.

"easy to understand" is added by the poster to the title, the repo doesn't make this claim.

With zero explanation and code it's small experiment, but not really educational.
Not in the near future, but we'd love to become decentralized and open-source when we have engineering time.

All considering, the samples sound great. Maybe not exactly like the real people, but it definitely captures a human feeling, versus my android's robot-lady.
If you want to cope without medication, you need to exercise a lot. The theory is that your dopamine levels are too low, and you need to boost them somehow. That's why medication tends to work for a lot of people.

Try to get exercise every day. Try to get intense exercise 2-3 times a week. Work your body to exhaustion, and your quality of sleep will improve as well.

Eat lots of protein and fat, and treat sugar like a toxin.

Other people report meditation helps, I suspect it probably would.
Eventually one of the parties will oppose it more strongly than the other one, at which point the other one will be forced to support it. I believe this is known as "spontaneous symmetry breaking".

Also for what it's worth "minority report" was the term in the film for when one of the precogs disagreed with the other two, so it's not really applicable here. You'd be forgiven for forgetting this fact though, because the plot doesn't actually feature one.
Dozens of miles away may probably mean distance of 50-100 km (and area of control of up to 31415 km^2).
For hunter-gatherers it could be too energy-expensive to travel that distance just to collect some raw materials for their tools. It will take more than a week for round trip, considering the time needed to get the food, and the location should be already known.
Another way is to work negatively. So in a sense you do a pull up by doing a reverse pull up— that is you start at the top of the pull us and lower yourself as slowly as possible (like in you’re method). Just rather than pulling yourself up you just jump yourself or step up to the top. After so many sessions of that you’ll be doing them without much difficulty.

I’ve found in learning the process can be similar. If I don’t understand something I can only read so much and study so much. I have to get my hands into it. I will pull down a codebase, run it, change it, break it, fix it, try and emulate it from first principles and contrast that with my reading and repeat. The best way I’ve found so far is to couple that with bottom up learning— working and reworking the fundamentals as I capitulate and bounce off the walls of reverse engineering and experimenting. I can’t confirm the benefits of that for anybody else but it works for me and keeps me interested
You seem to be wildly over reacting, I don’t see hostility in his comments.
Read a lot of military history books when I was a child. Now I can google some things for a refresher - you can trust them or not, mostly wikipedia.

There are many citations in the article about the US/UK strategy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe_first

The US oil embargo on the Japanese homeland had put them on their back foot before the war even started - and is often cited as a reason for the undelivered Japanese declaration of war prior to Pearl Harbor, and once we starting island hopping/pushing them off the Asian mainland they could only delay defeat and to make it as painful as possible for America to progress to discourage an invasion of Japan. Part of Germany's impetus for attacking on the Eastern front was the need for more fuel, the Allies had more in their homelands of the USA and the Soviet Union than was available to Germany.

The somewhat disputed Yamamoto quote says it best(the movie version probably is what sticks in people's minds):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consequences_of_the_attack_on_...

The Soviets suffered more casualties than anybody to stop the Germans on the Eastern front and tying them up there helped reduce the German troops available for their Middle East push and beach/support defenses in France and Italy and the Soviets were able to build much of their own military hardware even after the German invasion but they still got our help, mainly for transport of material. We helped almost all the Allies, but most support went to the UK and Soviet Union.
Kruschev quotes Stalin here:
"He stated bluntly that if the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war. If we had had to fight Nazi Germany one on one, we could not have stood up against Germany's pressure, and we would have lost the war."

Firefox Dev Tools has a "Responsive Mode" (see top right icons) available that offers to throttle the network speed. This might be a good way to benchmark loading times.

It's also doesn't seem like a huge stretch for a GDPR-compliant 3rd party who's API you consume to add some GDPR-related API calls.

(Payment processors are probably a bad example, as they already have boatloads of legal and contractual requirements to deal with. IF they're at all reputable, the GDPR will impact them minimally. The flip side of this is ad tech, who's scummy business model is almost painfully incompatible with GDPR - at the moment.)
I think it's possible. You can see project like Openmoko(http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Main_Page) and neo900(https://neo900.org/). It's open source and allow you to download schematics(http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-main/downloads/)
Hmm, I don't find Twitter or Slack to be our competitors at all. Twitter uses a newsfeed, we don't. We give you an entire page that is completely yours. If anything, we're more like Snapchat stories then Twitter, except with text.

We're more similar to Slack, but one difference is that we have a few contributors broadcasting to a large audience. Slacks is also made up of closed communities, we focus more on housing all of these channels in one place.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If a customer can ask anything then a company asked can ask anything in return and if you send those out "en masse" you just become a subject to GDPR yourself.
Human brain is extremely good at selecting the important information that it shouldn't forget.
Do the parents know about this? I can't imaging this happening in my country without massive, nation-wide action to stop it and fire/punish those that tried to implement the system.
Having been shocked enough to have a mini PTSD episode when seeing a flyback transformer, did anyone actually die from a normal cap discharge? Unless it's a large subwoofer capacitor, the stored energy is not enough to do deadly damage, even if it's in the thousands of volts, in my experience...
Under the terms of the GDPR, user benefit is not required. I can log any PII I'd like as long as the user's given consent for it to sit in that log, or for it to be used in some process that reads from that log.

I probably would want to impose stricter rules on myself for the sake of avoiding regulators. But that's part of the problem. It doesn't seem possible to comply with GDPR as such without an army of consultants to guide you; what you have to do instead is invent a stricter regulation and follow that one instead.

> If a regulator thinks you are bending the rules good luck

That's the other part of the problem. A healthy regulatory system needs some way to say "well, you think I'm bending the rules, but I'm actually compliant in this complex way you hadn't considered". If a GDPR regulator just doesn't know much about software development, and thinks that any rollout-induced delay is undue, how do I argue against that?

> That said, anything more and a handful of pages (and especially something blog-y) needs search. Else the UX could take on too much friction.

I've added search functionality to static sites before and the various JavaScript libraries available for this like lunrjs.com are super fast and easy to integrate. You can create a static search index at build time from a JSON file of your core content (probably a few 100KB compressed for many sites) and the search as you type functionality is instant which can be a better UX than other solutions.
The fact that there are some things where this relation does not hold is not an argument against the OPs claims.
I've heard a lot of people believe otherwise (including a sibling post), so probably best to bring in evidence/sources. Here's Facebook's statement on it: "No, we don't sell any of your information to anyone and we never will." From https://www.facebook.com/help/152637448140583

So if you believe Facebook sells your information, then you also believe that Facebook is directly lying about it on a help page about that specific topic. Sometimes conspiracy theories are true, so it's not impossible that that's what happening, but it's not like Facebook is openly selling your information.
> For most however, they need someone to hold their hand through all the steps

Part of intellectual maturity is learning how to not need the hand.
Talking about site speed comparisons, in order not to have results dependant on one's internet connection speed, would Firefox Dev Tool > "Responsive Mode" > throttling tool be a reliable way to benchmark sites ?

Anyone using this ?

(For example, test all sites on "regular 2g network" simulation and compare these times)
For sure. But then you need somebody with vision, that will spend extra money on research so that these kinds of bugs don't happen. Then a new "smart" CEO comes and slashes budgets. Everybody is happy, they have the same sales but lower costs. Then, after years, the bugs are found. Now it's too late. You have to allocate money to mitigate and on top of that you have to spend more money on research and then spend a little on bug bounties. It's too late to go back now.

The problem is how do you recognize a truly good CEO vs. a CEO that lowers costs and makes everybody happy.
I just noticed this now...it was very useful.
Where did it go? Why Google Why??
It's about 5 screwdrivers for a laptop/smartphone/TV (of course, that makes it 15 for all three) and around 10 screwdrivers/spanners for home appliances. You can fit all that in a purse :D
The problem is that even if there is no practical exploit, you still have to patch. At our web company where there are no shared boxes we still spent untold resources upgrading kernels, rebooting servers, and then lost capacity due to performance degradations.

Infrastructure is normally patched and rebooted on a regular schedule, but when a bug like this hits and requires an off-cycle upgrade it's a big cost.
Do people do that?
What I mean is, you can opt in to the program, which comes with benefits (like internships and scholarships) and with it come additional requirements (like living with classmates and mandatory study sessions).
One of the main difference I see at first glance is draft requires a pod/service vs skaffold doesn't. This means it's lower cost on local resources right?
I did the dorm thing, was impossible to study there. My point is if you can set people up for success through a program like that, it should at least be an option to people.
Aren't homo sapiens here only because an asteroid strike around 70 million years ago caused a culling that killed the dinosaurs and sort of reset life to favor small mammals over the dinosaurs? If perhaps that had not hit the earth, we would not be here and something that evolved from dinosaurs would be the top of the food chain and typing comments here! We had to get that one strike in at the right time (from our perspective) and then not another semi-apocalyptic event to get to here.

Some other things I remembered in the meantime:

* Routine! Having a reliable routine means I am never lost for what I should be doing or where I should be. I don't organise because I am prone to perfectly planning everything -- I organise because I'm dysfunctional without it. For example: every Friday is laundry day. Anything that misses the Friday slot has to wait for next Friday.

* Don't stock your favourite foods. Everyone lives with temptations, but ADHD makes it that much harder to resist. I have a number of foods which I love and which I simply do not have in my home. No chocolate, no peanut butter, no bread, no pasta. I have these occasionally and as a treat. But if they are around they will get eaten. So I just don't keep them.

* Don't know your passwords. Use a program like keepass. If you know the passwords for sites and apps, you will log into them from more places.

* Go to an office to work, whatever "office" means to you. Make the hours regular. Try to create a distinct physical separation. The difference makes it easier to enforce rules about what you can do when.

* You see a topic on reddit, hackernews etc that you deeply care about. Don't open it. Don't read the comments. You'll struggle to stay out and -- as you can see from my comments elsewhere under this post -- struggle to control your emotions. Just stay away. That's what I should've done with this one.

* Don't take breaks if you're making forward progress. People say to take breaks, but in my experience it pretty much ensures you will derail the rest of your time. Right now, for example, I'm in about the 4th hour of a 5 minute break.

* Do your best on sleep hygiene. Being tired weakens your ability to resist impulse still further. You will say and do more things you'll wish you hadn't.

* Get a filing cabinet. Add folders. Get stuff off your desk as fast as you can. Empty your email inbox as completely as you can.

* Subject to your finances, pay your bills ASAP. You will forget them. Or worse: forget them, remember them, feel stressed about forgetting them, then forget them, over and over until they're paid.

Between ADHD, anxiety and depression, just being alive is exhausting. But I have gotten better at playing through the basic levels over time.
Any energy usage creates waste heat. This is relevant on a planetary scale as well as for biological organisms.

Mammals, for example (and, in essence, all living beings), produce heat by their metabolism. The need to get rid if it, for example the human body temperature must not exceed something like 39 ° C. Otherwise, the metabolism breaks down, and we die. Mammals are able to cool down in a somewhat warmer environment which is by evaporation. Evaporation shifts the maximum bearable environmental temperature a bit up to 48°C or 50°C.

More specifically, evaporation only works if the temperature of the sweaty skin is above the dew point of the surrounding air[4]. When it is hotter, the dew point rises above said 39 °C [5], and what happens is that hot humid air condenses on our skin, heating the body up[1]. We can survive of up to 50°C, with difficulty, for a few short hours - then it's game over[2]. Places with such conditions just become inhabitable, and the Northern parts of the Persian Gulf and India are already pretty close to that.

On the planetary scale, no, even if we had nuclear fusion and could increase the global energy output by a factor of twenty, we would have difficulties. The waste heat normally goes away by warming the planet and going into space as infrared radiation. But there is a thing called greenhouse effect[3], which causes the surface temperature to increase more than the temperature of the clouds. And human activity is not negligible if you do the math.

The problem is now there is no effective method for transporting excess heat into space. This is also a problem in the International Space Station[6].

The trouble is now that exactly the same effect happens on the somewhat bigger spheric space station we are living on. That wonderful blue marble we call Earth.

Among other things, I am being framed as a conspiracy theorist:

Attributing the differences in our experiences to a uniform medical conspiracy against the public doesn't bear on whether treatments work or not for different cases.

Accusing me of wildly overreacting is not a good way to help in such a situation. It just puts out the fire with gasoline.
That thing we thought happened
a bajillion years ago actually
happened a kazillion years ago

Honestly, this sort of headline is frequent and tedious. There are a lot of vague, presumed facts with first proven date of occurrence constantly getting upended by one more archeological dig finding an older example.

First example of brewed alcohol: over 9,000 years ago on the island of Mypos. Oh, wait, here's one in Kablokistan dated 69,000 years old.

The archeological guinness book of world of world records is only so interesting. It's like ponder other dimensions behind the big bang, and then arguing about whether or not the big bang was actually an explosion.

Listen, if it wasn't an explosion, then stop calling it some kind of bang.
That's true, and there's something to be said for ingenuity. But in many cases, having the right tool turns a 1-hour PITA task into a 5-minute easy task.
Thanks for the consistency.

It would be instructive if more people took motorcycle safety training. They really emphasized that you should ride as though there could be a dropped load of concrete, boulder, or pothole around every corner, every blind hill, or every car, and stop accordingly.

I think this is mostly because the consequence of hitting debris is much more likely to be fatal on a motorcycle, but it would be good advice for anyone, really.

At every job I've ever worked, you're paid for your output, not to socialize.

There are three kinds of power in an organization role, expert, and relationship. Role power is actually the least effective and relationship power is the most.

It took me awhile to learn that. I've gotten a lot further in my career over the last 10 years than the 10 years before that based on building professional relationships and networks both inside and outside of work than I could have solely by becoming more of an "expert". I know people who are just as smart as I am and many who are better technically who haven't gotten as far because they don't build relationships, don't know how manage up, and can't interview well.

I work at a company that has grown and gotten very beuracratic. Other people on the team - including managers - who aren't as effective at getting things done because they have to go through official channels. I've been able to just send a message with a request directly to
a person who I knew could do it, get it done and then go through the official process for documentation.
For a small to medium sized shop, sure. For someplace with thousands or tens of thousands of nodes, the new system ends up cheaper in the long run.
Yeah some repair companies will quote the maximum amount they may actually need to charge (replacing the compressor and regassing, for example), and then actually charge that even if they replaced a simple fuse :/

We are on a technical forum, thus I expect you to come up with a technical description on how can I use fb ads targeting to find out who is white and likes Arsenal in my neighborhood.

Arguing that only some advertisers get access to the tools required is bullshit: this is saying that Facebook won't tell you directly who is such and such, but will give you access to tools to bypass their own rules. I hope you see how idiotic arguing for such a case is.
