I agree to this as people are duty bound. In moral philosophy, it's argued by some that obligation is of higher moral value than pure empathy, as you don't emotionally feel anything but do what is your duty. Most people adhere to rule based ethics in which the law is imperative. But Law paves the way for carpet bombing within a framework of ethics. Bombing the rule breakers. As for family relation stuff this is called the Price equation. For me empathy is just a form of guilt. So still relates to the self. You don't do bad as you don't want to feel guilty. I therefore constantly have to learn right from wrong on a social or interpersonal level. But I think some people may experience it differently. Those who lack these Lamarkian tools are defined as sociopathic, but it can be expedient. Napolean would be a good character to debate on this topic.

People die in surgery all the time, it's not nearly as big a deal for the surgeon as you're suggesting. ~5% chance of death within 30 days per major hart surgery means the average surgeon is losing several people in an average year.
The difference between madness and experiment is the method and results.

People do not have to be consistent. Three follow up study could try to determine how they identify themselves later and what kind of sex life these people have. The study is probably underpowered to detect any mental issue if any exists whatsoever.
For what it's worth, here is how I deal with that pasting problem in my terminal emulator.

I took a leaf out of the book of dealing with octal escapes in string literals in the C language. One of the simplest ways of avoiding the problem of the octal number in the escape being followed by an actual intended digit character is to terminate the string literal and start a new one. Hence:

"abcde\001""23"

I took the same idea and applied it to pasted content. When console-terminal-emulator receives ESC or CSI characters from its input FIFO that are marked as pasted text, immediately after sending them on it sends an end-of-paste sequence (DECFNK 201) followed by a start-of-paste (DECFNK 200). Thus any potential DECFNK control sequence in the pasted text, that would otherwise itself turn pasting on and off, is broken up.

* http://jdebp.eu./Softwares/nosh/guide/console-terminal-emula...

For example: Generating the sequence ESC [ 2 0 1 ~ l s LF as pasted input directly to the terminal emulator's input, in the way that a realizer program would send pasted input events, with

# printf '%c\x00\x00\x09' $'\x1B' '[' 2 0 1 '~' 'l' 's' $'\n' >> /run/dev/vc2/input

results in user virtual terminal #2 receiving the following

% printf "\x1b[?2004h" ; cat -v
^[[200~^[^[[201~^[[200~[201~ls

Breaking that down, those are:

1. DECFNK 200 (start pasted text mode)

2. ESC (as pasted character)

3. DECFNK 201 (end pasted text mode)

4. DECFNK 200 (start pasted text mode)

5. [ (as pasted character)

6. 2 (as pasted character)

7. 0 (as pasted character)

8. 1 (as pasted character)

9. ~ (as pasted character)

A. l (as pasted character)

B. s (as pasted character)

C. LF (as pasted character)

A Z shell running in that terminal does indeed receive this as the pasted text ESC [ 2 0 1 ~ l s LF, exactly as sent, and does not enact the embedded end-of-paste or Line Feed.
I wonder if telus did this to allow people using their email system to use Google calendar to send reminders.

recovering from hibernation is much faster then?

Is it? Not in my experience running Debian.

Although, hibernation does have the advantage for magnetic disks of being a single file that can be read sequentially, rather than a bunch of files scattered throughout the disk. But I believe certain tools can help with that, by profiling and optimizing those accesses at boot time.

Ask HN: Transitioning from Mac to Windows 10 as dev

TLDR: make all your functions pure. It'll make it so much simpler for you, your coworkers, but also the compiler(!) to reason about your code.

About half of the bugs and issues I come across in my $DAYJOB are because code that I use (through a third-party library) is not pure. If I had a penny every time I fixed a bug caused by impure code, I'd be rich.
It’s clearly failing DMARC there. Very odd.
Yep but the P was special because they put the insane HQ's in, the new 15w Quads are impressive but still way behind the 35w in raw crunch power.

That was the thing I liked about the T470p for performance it was the last step before doubling the price and getting a bigger heavier P-series.

The amount of power they put into 14" that stays cool under heavy load was damn impressive.

You are saying you can stream with any Chromecast-supporting app to a Roku?

Climate science is absolutely "a fight between science and self-interested industry".

Indeed, an over generalization, it of course does not apply to every software developer. But as a C++ developer I would appreciate extra cores to cut down compilation times.

"there's no expectation of privacy for the dead." presumes the corpse is a person with personal privacy. I choose to interpret it differently: the corpse is property of the family, albeit property with a few additional rights and rules, and property that has been entrusted with the funeral home.

The funeral home would have been well within their rights to say "get off my property and come back with a warrant". I would even go as far as to say they had an obligation to do so.
>> If we give credit and admiration to leaders when they do good, as is pretty common here, we should give them analogous considerations when they do bad.

Why do you think this dualism should exist?

There are certain qualities we admire and think make a good person.

There are other qualities that we detest and think make a bad person.

Should we really deem someone worse simply for the fact that he/she previously held admirable qualities? Shouldn't we just judge him based on the negative qualities, in of themselves?
> But aren't turbo equipped engines using part of the flow to improve the engine fuel quality

No, turbo is used to force more air into the intake side of the engine. It uses exhaust gas pressure to spin a turbine which is used to compress more air into the cylinder between cycles. That, combined with more fuel to maintain proper balance, gives you increased combustion, thus more power.
I agree with the sentiment (nothing new methodically) but have a thought: these methods were in the field of computer science and operations research (maybe). The popularity of ML and data science is taking place in the same 20 yrs that every non-beta science is becoming more quantified. It takes a novel generation of researchers to combine the old with the new. ML's popularity, and ease of entry (in a broad sense, with tools and information easily available) is only helping the spreading.
Well you're just too far gone.
Please stop trying to get us all killed by denying climate change. Thanks!
I can't speak for that particular service, but in other similar ones I've looked at and used in the past, you're paying for a certain number of IPs _at a given time_.

So, for instance, they have a pool of servers that have 1000 IPs available. Your account allows connections to go out over 2 of those at a time. If something happens (like one gets banned by whatever service you're scraping), you can get a different set of 2 IPs and keep moving.

While you're still paying a relatively high price for what you're consuming (predominantly bandwidth in this case), you're paying for the flexibility.

Just came here to say that it's time to start a gossip magazine about completely imaginary people. You beat me to it.

The 8th gen U series is not "basically matching" the 7th gen H series, the base clock (i.e. what you actually get under load) of the i7-7700HQ is 47% higher than the i7-8650U.
Which in turn is a version of the old tradition of movie directors to include a scene that was so over-the-top that when asked by studio executives/MPAA to cut the movie a bit, this scene can be sacrificed.

I think for a lot of people it'd be an excellent idea to do just that.
I think the truth lies in the middle somewhere. I knew absolutely nothing about load balancing before reading OPs comment and the blog post, and while you’re correct that I wouldn’t have retained OPs bullet point version as well as Rachel’s, Rachel really went on at a length far beyond what was needed to tell the story / explain the concept (eg, the beach ball sized bag of bread).

People need an intuitive concept and image to grasp and reason on while they master an idea, but that doesn’t justify any arbitrary amount of over-elaborating.
> Market forces are starting to act in favor of green technologies in some sectors. Let's hope it's not too late.

While I agree with you, I am not sure I would count that as an action. It's more like "humbly" watching market and natural forces duking it out, and hoping that the former wins, all the while making the latter stronger.

I know there are many individuals who do act, and I didn't mean that comment to include them. But sadly, the idea that we should restrict our energy usage has not entered public consciousness very much.
The really funny thing when you look at it in retrospect, is that the ONCE team, which became Liberty Seguros-Wurth and then Astana, brought in Johan Bruyneel to clean up their doping problem. Bringing in the former director sportif of US Postal/Discovery to clean up your doping problem... is just hilarious from a 2018 point of view with all the info that has come out in the meantime.

I am actually working on this partially...I wouldn't call it new paradigms, but dataflow, probabilistic computing and parallel by default paradigms like VHDL or CUDA would be my best guess if the wildest dreams come true and we actually reroute physical chips to make new models. But only in the lower layers(similar to XDA abstracts stuff already for you on tensorflow).

At the end, "all" I see happening in the near future will be

* ISA extensions to have accelerators similar to the ones we have for Crypto/RNG and especially vectorization (crossbar matrix multipliers <3 )
* custom chips being made using the standard custom/semicustom design flows, just including memristive and maybe neuromorphic cells
* maybe something akin to FPGA programming, especially since intel might be integrating their new Altera into consumer devices https://newsroom.intel.com/news-releases/intel-completes-acq...

And I point these out, because I know how these kinds of "academics" sell these kinds of "studies"[1]. Here is what the title and subtitle of the Marie Claire story on this research says:

> What’s a Label Anyway?

> New research shows same-sex hookups are pretty common.

In fact, the research used an existing data set which presumably is being mined to the Nth degree, and actually shows the opposite: Only 695 out of the 24,000 reported that their last hookup was with a same-sex partner. Only 124 of the 24,000 respondents reported that their last hookup was with a same-sex partner and identified as heterosexual.

The story in Marie Claire does not contain any overt lies, but is designed to create a certain impression so that, among other things, the author can get invited on TV shows etc.

So the history of climate change goes something like: confusion about overall sign in the 1960's, mounting evidence for warming due to CO_2 in 1970's, consensus about overall warming caused by human CO_2 emission in the eighties, and then clarifying in the details since then.

The fact that there still isn't mainstream discussion about how society must change, but rather eternal growth society is still the default target across the globe is depressing and gives confidence that we are going to see substantial civilisation collapse in the future.

He mentions abstraction over detailism. Good.
He mentions cheap battery powered HW, smartphones. Good.
And then he mentions some totally unimportant artefacts, fooling our perception.

But he fails to explain the importance of latency and feedback over realism, and the difference in the resolution. The problems of too slow latency, the expected lawsuits, why VR didn't make it into the consumer world in the last 25 years. Technically we were at the very same level 20 years ago already. We just didn't have smartphones.
