Agreed on not licking either! I haven't been able to find anything conclusive saying how much lead you would get in the air when soldering, but the MSDS you linked says:

> Soft soldering temperatures (<450 °C) are generally too low to generate significant amounts of metal vapors, however, metal oxide fumes/dust or flux decomposition fumes can occur.

> RECOMMENDATION:

> For frequent or prolonged soldering processes, use of a local exhaust system to avoid exposure to thermal decomposition products. For example, use fume cabinet, a hood on a flexible arm, or tip-mounted fume extraction system on the soldering iron.

So if you're only occasionally soldering up a circuit board, you stay well ventilated, and you keep the solder temperature below 450°C (my soldering iron is usually set around 280°C - 300°C) then the risk seems pretty negligible. If you take up circuit board fabrication as a career then obviously you'd take it much more seriously. I should still give unleaded solder another shot, though - maybe it's improved since last time I tried it.
Even the largest computer screens fall short of the flexibility of a large table of index card piles. You can lay out piles in a 2D array or 2D separated groups. Then resuffle the piles. Each pile can be ordered by importance, time, or expository order.
Has anyone used the HP ZBook Studio? It looks ok, but I've never heard much about it. https://store.hp.com/us/en/mdp/laptops/zbook-studio-mobile-w...

Also I would look into these

MateBook X Pro - 14 inch 3x2 screen! I may buy it just for that alone. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh8qvqFVVbc)

Dell XPS 15(9570) - Same crap keyboard, but available for pre-order in a couple weeks and linux support should be good. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqeIPp8Zkg0)

Thinkpad t480s - almost perfect but screen is a tad to short/small.
I'm very happy with my (previous-generation) HP Spectre x360. Lightweight, 16GB memory, 512GB SSD (you can get up to 2TB now, but what I have is plenty for me), Thunderbolt 3, convertible to tent or tablet mode, good battery life. I dual-boot Fedora and Windows 10. And the prices are quite reasonable.
Probably going to get some back-lash, but screw you guys, it's MY life ;)

If I achieve nothing else for the rest of my life, to live long enough to see all of my kids choose a relationship with the Lord would be more than enough. It's not really a goal in the traditional sense I suppose, since I have only so much input on what they grow up to believe. But it's the #1 reason why my wife and I make the (not burnt, but time, money, attention, patience, etc.) sacrifices we do every day for them.
I'm not condoning it. Just explaining it.

It's culture. In China, you are your family/clan and your family is you. Family in China does not refer to just your immediate, but rather your entire family including 2nd cousins. Individualism isn't as strong there. Why? Due to China's society being 'low trust', you need to rely on your family to survive and thrive.
So? What if the VPN doesn’t know who you are? What if it’s your own VPN but others don’t know that?

The entire point of choosing a good VPN is to get the visible data off of your immediate ISP, since they know who you are, and into a more nebulous net, where others do not.
You don't need a masters degree in math to teach freshman calculus.

I was taught freshman calc by grad students - with no "education" training whatsoever. Perhaps these "masters" of education are learning the wrong things.

Freshman calculus just isn't that hard, and isn't much beyond algebra. This "gee math is hard" crap is, well, crap. No PhD is necessary. Hell, I taught it to my kids on the kitchen table, and I have no advanced degree and never took a course in education.
I don't know why so many people love namecheap... Name silo is 8.90/year and it comes with free privacy.

Any domain provider who doesn't have free privacy, or a bundle for < $9.00 isn't worth it. I've been w/ namesilo for a few years and they're top-notch, and have a good api as well.
Creating an accurate numeric ranking of the tens of thousands of varieties of criminal, civil, financial, social and etiquette crimes and infractions, which may or may not be written down, is impossible. If you don't know the methodology, you can't effectively "game" the system.
For example, is spitting on the sidewalk remedied by volunteering as an unpaid political canvasser for two months? Or by buying a new car and making the payments on time for at least year? Are these in different slots? Did a coder forget to test an expiration date on certain types of demerits? Are others off by a magnitude factor? You'd never know.

The benefit of a lawful society is that the laws are open source. (Takes a lot of meetings to get commit privileges, but that's often more of a feature than a bug)
A way to recover misplaced Apple Mail statistics from macOS excessive Sierra
Why would it be "absurd" for it to be anyone other than Russian intelligence?
If a foreigner came to my country and asked me to speak to them with an accent from another country, I would be insulted.

If living in a region or a country I like to learn the local dialect.

Although I admit that leads to general laughter later e.g. when I spoke Spanish in Seville people laughed at my hick Cuban accent, and then in Madrid they laughed at my hick Andalusian accent!

However I think trying to learn accents helps you a lot later with your spoken language ability... I have seen how strongly some regional people negatively react to a "correct" Spanish Madrileño accent (seen as very snobby/uptight/unfriendly). I had fun the other day taking to a Chilean: I could hear some parts of the accent which were reminiscent of Sevilla, so I could mimic some of the Chilean accent and not sound like a twat (and we had an awesome discussion about it too).
I have an XPS 15 (>2 years old) and also had battery swell, which made the trackpad unusable along with other safety concerns. Dell decided to replace the batteries for the 84wh model for free, but not for the 56wh model, which is very disappointing...

Also the throttling in the XPS 15 is real. Even with the 960m I can't even run light games on it because of frequent fps drops... And the BIOS was pretty unstable for the first year (laptop running fans at maximum while in sleep mode, while getting really hot inside my bag), with lots of coil whine. Overall, I am very disappointed in the overall build quality of it (I previously had a 2010 macbook pro and had no problems). Going to try a Lenovo for my next laptop (it seems to have less build quality issues)
The malicious app may not have a way to get these statistics.
I mean, if you’re trying to defend against a coordinate government attack, you’re boned anyway. They’ll just break into your house and install a sniffer, or arrest you, or make your life hell.

That’s assuming they can’t just get into your home network through zero days, which an individual has no practical defense against.
Show HN: Examples of AppRun, a JavaScript lib for apps using Elm architecture
I am reading the paper now, and had a weird thought, but probably it is a brainfart:

Keep in mind Monte Carlo algorithms versus Las Vegas algorithmms.

Keep also in mind that since cryptographic one way permutations are available, both Alice and Bob can sign their messages on the public channel, and Eve can only read them (for injecting a message would require forging a signature).

Consider the following (absurd) Las Vegas algorithm: both Alice and Bob seperately generate a random secret key. Then they sign the hash of the secret key and inform each other with this <Hash(secret),Signature(Hash(secret))> message.

The Las Vegas secret key exchange protocol succesfully finishes if they read the same hash as they generated, and returns the bottom element or failure if they don't match.

So provably with a (very) low probability they can establish a common secret in a Las Vegas protocol, which begs the question if a dual (necessarily interactive) Monte Carlo protocol can slowly grow an n-bit common secret.

I suspect you can confirm that this is just a brainfart indeed?
The GDPR specifically introduces a class of data called "online identifiers":

https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-30/

which includes IP addresses and seems to extend to things like email addresses and usernames.

How this will end up affecting functionality and implementations of online services is not yet clear, at least to me.
The first semester of calculas at MIT covered the same material as three semesters of calculas I took at the community college while in high school. You could interpret this two ways: (1) some schools just go faster than others and cover more material or (2) at MIT you had to work hard to keep up at that pace. While in high school and CC you could breeze through the slower presentation.
I'm mainly interested in:

1. high availability (can access it using many devices)

2. security (it's secure against intruders)

3. privacy (the company who hosts my data won't mine it for their purposes)
This is scary. I always assumed that the "access contacts" permission was read-only, but I guess it's not.

Just another thing to be paranoid about in modern life.
One of the sole advantages of NYC taxis: they are required by law to take you anywhere within city limits you ask.
Namesilo is like $5/cheaper for .coms, and has free privacy, it also has 2-factor auth. I highly recommend them.
But the existence of high-cost private schools that, ostensibly, only the well-off can afford, already reinforces a "caste system" of sorts, no? I'm not sure how adding another dimension to this, namely social credit, could make it worse.

I think we'll see smaller capacity VTOL aircraft for shorter flights before we get batteries with enough energy density for long-range flights. You'd just need to have a fast charging rate or potentially swappable batteries at landing pads. Daisy-chaining VTOL trips carrying 10-20 passengers ~100 miles at a time could be faster and more flexible. Uber has done some research on this too: https://www.uber.com/info/elevate/
It looks like a smoked food company hired a researcher to investigate the health effects of smoked food. Surprise -- smoked food is tastier and less harmful than you thought!

Unfortunately, the actual research can't be examined during the PR campaign.
> Performance of the computer is quite important for me. I'm an Android developer, compilation of a big project I'm working on takes enormous amount of RAM and CPU nowadays (with new Android Studio it's even worse).

Buy a powerful desktop PC and you’ll have a few bucks left over. Seriously, I don’t understand why developers continue to shortchange themselves by using laptops for heavy workloads. If you have to work away from your office, Remote Desktop to your desktop machine from your old laptop.
I know it's not a popular opinion, but I find the icons hideous and all over the place (lacking a standard cohesive vision). The window elements layout, a menu that disregards Fitts's law completely, that heavy grey… just poor taste all in all. I'm amazed it was Steve's creation.

Thankfully they took another route designing OS X.

That logo is great though.
> a very long way from a native speaker

uh....this guy's English is really excellent. it may be distinguishable from a native speaker by occasional poor phrasing or misuse of words, but it's really, really good. i think your criticism is overblown.
Wow ! This is simple and a very powerful technique. Thanks for sharing
One benefit of AP is that you can take the test even if you haven't taken the class. So if you're motivated and can travel to some place where the test is being offered, you can rock out a shit ton of credits.
ISPs want to sell advertising, or data to advertisers. Why bother trying to advertise to a few geeks who are probably running PiHole anyway? Especially since doing that multiplies the hardware requirements 100 fold.
Business Lessons from Mark Leonard (Constellation Software)
>when speccing out replacements I don't think it's too much to ask that the doors are in the same place (cars are purchased in dozens...)

that pretty much only works if you have 1 generation of rolling stock currently in use, and you know (or forsee) that you want to install platform doors. considering that the new york subways were built before platform doors were a thing, I can totally see how door location wasn't even a concern when purchasing rolling stock.
I wrote something really light-weight in hammerspoon that lets me make a window take up the entire screen, or the left/right/center third of my screen.
I really don't get the security model for smartphones. It seems horribly brittle. I mean, the fundamental protection is using apps from trusted sources, basically Google or Apple. Anything not trusted can't install, unless you've rooted the phone. And so old-school Windows-style malware is blocked.

However, when trusted apps are installed, they often demand all sorts of privileged access. And if they're malicious, there's no way to protect against them. Except that they get reported to Google/Apple and become unavailable. But that doesn't help people who already got pwned.

What am I missing?
I was going to argue with you, but stats do indeed seem to back this up (I hadn't looked at them in at least a year or two). The gains for chrome are insane, and there is clearly a harsh decline for IE. I suppose this is probably why PCI-DSS felt it appropriate to push hard into deprecating TLS1.0 and TLS1.1 (without negatively affecting users too harshly).
Our ‘terps in Iraq all said (to a person) watching American movies with subtitles was the best help for them to attain fluency.

The most important point was overlooked in this article: when your credit score is partly computed from the credit scores of your social links, you tend to form elitist cliques. People with less wealth or financial skill or poltical demerits are shunned. They far further behind because they cant make the better links that they would help them. I hear even family members disavow each sometimes.
Recursive ascent / bottom-up also has functions that follow the grammar, so that doesn't mean anything.

It's a matter of whether the children are resolved before the parents, or the parents are resolved before the children.

The pushTarget() calls all over makes it look like bottom-up parsing. That doesn't appear in recursive descent (top down) parsers.
Yeah, I also remember that every now and then.

Scaling Uber’s HDFS for Growth
I feel like this is a really common problem for both mobile AND OAuth authorization frameworks. The scopes and permissions are not quite fine-grained enough - it's generally a read and WRITE for all of what they ask for, instead of being read (most common use case).
> How is CNN, Fox News and the sinclair group, working out for you guys?

Not well, and I'd add MSNBC to that list, however much I may be a dirty pinko who agrees with their editorial stance. NPR and PRI do what they can, but I really wish we had something like the BBC here, with non-corporate funding and a remit to report current events.

I wasn't arguing for MITM, I was arguing that it's not any worse than your run of the mill MITM
Airbus actually made a prototype electric ducted fan plane: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_E-Fan

The core problem with it though was the poor energy density of batteries. Hopefully electric cars will drive more innovation in this area, although the aviation industry is usually at least 20-30 years behind the automotive industry as far as engine technology goes, so we're probably 40 years away from getting widespread adoption of electric aircraft.

Problem is IB comes with a whole host of other requirements that AP doesnt. My school required volunteer time, a yearly special project, and yearlong courses (instead of semester-long which made all non-IB courses harder to schedule) to enroll in IB courses. I even know 2 people who were forced out of IB as juniors after the school canceled Latin classes, because they wouldn't have time to take 3 credits of a new language. Both of those people say they were glad to switch to AP though, less stress and more flexibility. Passing the exams wasn't hard either. Also IIRC, IB absolutely did require a test score for credit, and it wasn't any easier than AP.

I also dropped out of IB, but in favor of a new program that let me take 2 online state college classes during the school day. So I got full college credit, great professors, and kept my schedule flexible. So agreed that dual enrollment is better if the option is available.
Yeah but then you just have these closed-source, buggy, imperfect algorithms run by private corporations instead. And some of those corporations have proven themselves to be very incompetent. Maybe if these numbers are fully gamified in terms of social credit, we would actually have a chance of knowing how and why the government and corporations are judging us the way they are. It doesn't sound much worse to the current situation.

There is an interesting video series by Nintendo on the making of Breath of The Wild. In one of them [1] they talk about how most of the game mechanics were implemented in a 2D version of the game to see how enjoyable and effective they were before they spent the money to make the 3D version.

There's clear language in the regulation on the obligation to validate the identity of the data subject.

How to do that in a satisfactory manner... leading practices might take a few months to crystalize.
I guess I'm the opposite, you'd have to pay me extra to induce me to teach the more basic material.
Yep you are not “banned” from their API. They just show this to all new apps registered in the past 2 months or so. It is just a blanket new policy not something special they applied to just you.

Older apps that were created < 2 or so months ago still have this access. If you have one, I suggest using that instead.
I've taken to carrying around small notebooks in my pocket recently.

I found that I never looked at notes written on my phone, but I do with paper.

It also has the advantage that I can tear pages out to give to people. No need to try and text a shopping list to someone when you can just give them one.
I wish somebody would have told me that. I think our school district paid for students AP exams if they were enrolled in the class, so I didn't even know there was an option to pay on your own.
I am happy the article author is not my parent.
In order to establish some degree of causality we would have to look only at the population of students accepted to both schools. That way you're starting from a comparable baseline.
I was a big BeOS fan too back in the day. But in retrospect I’ve realized NeXT was simply much better technology. Unlike BeOS they had vector based UI. Objective-C was a better language for GUI apps. Pervasive mulithreading that BeOS went for was a mistake

I'm pretty sure the "emergency fuel jettison" is for "I'd rather it not splash about everywhere and catch fire in the case that I put this plane down hard enough to split the tanks open" rather than "It's impossible to land this plane safely at the same weight as it took off".

(Not that I'd want to be hurtling at the ground barely in control with many tons of fully charged LiPo battery on board either...)
Thanks for the tip -- definitely not my intent to start partisan flamewars (my actual intent is to raise awareness of these influences and tactics). Seems like that's out of context, so I'll refrain.

As to the consistent downvoting for mentions of a certain country's online influence campaigns, I've got insufficient data to make a hard accusation, just a handful of starkly consistent data points and no way that I've noticed to track downvoters (is there one I don't know about?).

Thanks!
Moscow was one of the only places I've spent more than a week riding public transportation and not experienced a delay. Honestly confused as to that particular efficiency given the rest of the city/country's inefficiencies but they're doing something right.
One of the first is a stretch, because the most compared lines were around or before NY's experience. The London Underground had its first line in 1863. Paris, 1900. NY, 1904.
Don't you feel your capacity and willingness to do some research and your knowledge of a foreign language and being aware of what is actually being said limits your ability to easily participate in outbursts of online moral outrage?

While there are very strong benefits to commuting on a bicycle, a motorcycle will likely be the faster method of commute transport.

ZeroMQ http://zguide.zeromq.org/py:all ... "In One Hundred Words: ZeroMQ (also known as ØMQ, 0MQ, or zmq) looks like an embeddable networking library but acts like a concurrency framework. It gives you sockets that carry atomic messages across various transports like in-process, inter-process, TCP, and multicast. You can connect sockets N-to-N with patterns like fan-out, pub-sub, task distribution, and request-reply. It's fast enough to be the fabric for clustered products. Its asynchronous I/O model gives you scalable multicore applications, built as asynchronous message-processing tasks. It has a score of language APIs and runs on most operating systems. ZeroMQ is from iMatix and is LGPLv3 open source."
