Windows, MacOS, iOS and I believe now Android have it built in, it can help but it’s not that great if you’ll be using your screen till bed time.

White point adjustment doesn’t actually reduces the amount of blue light by that much it’s really due to how LCD screens and their color filters work, some monitors a have built in function to turn on a blue light filter which can also be used in conjunction with white point adjustment e.g Flux which does help it reduce it further.

Which is why I stop all screen use 45min before bed time, more would be too much of a burden for me and less wouldn’t be effective but you should experiment with what works for you.

I also found that watching my OLED TV has considerably smaller effect on me than my computer screens or phone if I use them just before bed.
I don’t know if this is due to the nature of the screen since it doesn’t use backlight hence less blue light or is it just due to the fact that the perceived brightness is lower due to the watching distance.
It's an endlessly recurring phenomenon of people that when they don't have any legal right to something but use it for a long time, they believe they have a permanent right to it. If you really value living somewhere, you can pay for that privilege and exclude other people who don't want it as much as you do. Somebody has to miss out when there's limited supply of housing.
So far the QC is sorely lacking on Tesla's cars, nevermind getting parts for your car after a few years. Its incredible what Tesla has gotten away with in terms of locking people out from repairing their own cars!

Mobile app stores are shovelware galore. Admission standards are in the toilet and they're flooded with thousands upon thousands of reskinned garbage "games" that frequently rely on superficial similarities to smash hit games in order to confuse users so they buy them, or at least launch to view ads. Reskinning is a whole industry, with people capable of launching several "games" every single day.
Interesting results but a very badly written article. The author draaaaawwwwssss it out, trying to get you to read to the end so that you can find out her findings. It's a cheap, shitty writing strategy. At one point, I got bored and scrolled all the way to the bottom to see if there was a concise summary of the results found, but even those were drawn out randomly across multiple paragraphs. Like I said, good info but very badly written.
I've never had a kinder egg, but are they generally purchased for the surprise or the chocolate? Generally speaking, there's no specific guaranteed reward from loot boxes, let alone one that outweighs the randomly chosen loot.

Also, what is the probability distribution for kinder eggs? Most loot boxes have a chance to drop a variety of items at different likelihoods, generally with the most desirable items being very unlikely to drop (0.1-2%, depending on the game).
The moment a physical good is transformed into a item in a database (of any kind), trust is involved. So this isn't a trustless situation anyway. At that point the producer could as well create a new row in an ordinary db. You could sign the data to proof origin of the entry.
I guess gambling is illegal in Belgium.
You know partly what you buy, namely the chocolate egg. That's the main part of the product. Same applies to Happy Meals at McDonald's for instance. Loot boxes have a random distribution over the entire content.
Much of the increase was driven by low interest rates. Mortgage rates more than halved, allowing people to borrow much more with the same income. Supply is coming (construction activity is at record highs) but will take some time to take pressure out of the market.

Germany has always had very low home ownership rates. The influx of migrants has put some pressure on rents (esp on the low end of the spectrum) but hasn't caused the surge in prices for houses or luxury flats. That was mostly driven by a booming job market, higher wages and low interest rates.

Berlin was always very cheap compared to other German cities. What we've seen now is more a normalisation than a bubble. But it certainly took some pressure of other markets that already were at very high prices.

Luckily, zoning laws in Germany allow new supply and there's a lot of that coming in soon. Some economists expect prices to fall by up to 20-30% in some areas over the next years as supply comes in and interest rates go up (likely starting 2019). That would probably be a healthy correction, easing the tensions that have developed.
iOS supports it as well - actually there was a controversy when Apple removed f.lux from the app store and then rolled out its own similar feature if I recall correctly.
No, but it is the very first thing you read
Well this is exactly why they are doing it: they want to separate themselves from the evils of Communism, to teach themselves not to be Commies/Russians as much as possible, by moving away from Commie-dominated sources of information. Wise decision.

If you feel yourself and pose yourself as Russian, you are immediately at odds with all the civilized world, associations are clear: Stalin, evil Commies, Putin, occupation of Ukraine, etc. If you are a Kazakhstani of Slavic origin, that's fine, who bothers? You are perceived neutrally. So this is good for you.
Sounds like "the climate reality no one else will dare mention" is unmentioned because it's nonsense.

Solar / wind are dropping Moores law fashion, governments could crank up action if doom looked likely, the earth has had far higher co2 in the past. 100 million years ago it was about 5x what it is now but life wasn't wiped out.
>and have not explicitly opted in to the scheme.

I think you're overestimating nurseries here. They still don't handle the case you described of a deeply nested setTimeout:

import asyncio
import trio
import threading

async def my_tricky_function():
threading.Timer(5, lambda: print('first')).start()
await trio.sleep(.5)

async def a_function():
async with trio.open_nursery() as n:
n.start_soon(my_tricky_function)
print("finished")

trio.run(a_function)

(requires python 3.6, I'm using threading.timer in place of setTimeout, but they're the same construct). There's a great talk by david beazly about how threads and asyncio don't play nicely, except when they do.

Note that you could imagine that this timer is created in an awaited function or a supposedly synchronous child function.

If the nursery did what you think it did, which is to wait until everything async within the block completes, you'd see this print first, then print finished. It doesn't though, finished is printed first. The reason is that you need to opt in to the trio constructs by using promises/futures/coroutines. Using threaded callback based things give you the same problems with trio as they do in other async/parallel constructs.

If you're a good citizen and opt in to the safety guarantees trio provides, it can keep things clean for you, yes. But you do need to explicitly opt into the scheme by only using code that you know is promise/future/coroutine based. Threads are a doozy.

But the same thing is pretty much true with async/await promises/coroutines in js or python. If you require that you only use promises (or you tightly wrap all of your threads/callbacks in promises and then use that), you can get the safety of nurseries in most of the situations (I noted there were some exceptions before!), but with just the async/await syntax, no need for the extra async context manager.

I agree that trio is cool. I've used it before. But you're ascribing to it and this construct magical powers that they cannot and do not have.
Well, you could make it and opt-in service with all legal disclaimers applied.
The article also says the blockchain.
Amazon Is Coming to a Doctor Near You
Take what you're describing, make it secure and legal. Then what you have is called automatic updates.

Which is exactly what Drupal should do and Wordpress did many years ago. It works.
It's not a blip, it's 2% of the entire population. No matter how poor they are, if they live in a house, they're pushing rents up by reducing available houses for everybody else. Some of those displaced people or the people they subsequently displace by moving will surely end up in Berlin because that'll be the next best option for them.
Lego packs? Don't all boxes of a lego set include the same pieces?
At least in Berlin, the influx of other european citizens did have a significant effect on the rents. I cba to find sources in English, but the city is trendy, and locals are annoyed by the masses of young hipsters who come live there, making rents rise, and don't even bother to learn german/integrate the slightest. There were for example articles about berliners who were flabberghasted that some bars and restaurants couldn't take orders in german.
If you are a highly skilled engineer working for a big company maybe. Software engineers get like 40k. Normal people a lot less.
For various reasons I doubt that violating an NDA in Sweden with a non-governmental organization would every draw criminal prosecution.
IBM's platform uses Hyperledger, linked somewhere below.

It has copy on its site stating it "allows multiple different parties to securely interact with the same universal source of truth."

I think the fact that IBM is running this, and not Walmart, is actually a plus. The suppliers don't have to worry about Walmart itself making data changes. Of course the details will vary, but I highly doubt the platform allows the account owner to unilaterally make changes to this source of truth. It's totally against the point of the project.
Berlin actually has a lot of potential supply, there's little geographical restriction and generally good public transport. Zoning laws are also comparably friendly (at least compared to SF and London). But real estate projects still take 3-5 years to complete.
I would love to cycle almost everywhere, and in the past I've run a large fraction of my errands on bikes. On the majority of roads, though, I do not feel safe doing so, because I have to mix with fast moving cars piloted by drivers that I would barely feel safe driving near, because they're honestly pretty terrible at driving. I know many others who feel the same way - they want to bike more but not feeling safe keeps them from doing it as much as they'd like.

And I can't see how SF could have invested nearly what you claim in biking infrastructure. Their cycling infrastructure is not particularly good compared to most "bike friendly" cities.
Didn't the traffic accident with the obviously not-watching safety driver happen under the new CEO's watch ?
Today you learned: Borg means fortress in swedish.
This is an interesting question because it's what has happened to a lot of old software. It's especially problematic for old games that people want to play on emulators - at the point where these companies went bust it didn't seem as if the game "IP" had any value.

Anyway what definitely doesn't happen (at least in any western country) is that the software becomes "abandonware" or copyright somehow disappears. The copyright will be owned by someone for many more years, even if that person or entity is impossible to trace.
>Renting in some place for a long time doesn't give you any leverage against another potential renters.

In Europe? Yes it does. If you're a longtime renter in Vienna for example it's almost impossible for the landlord to raise your rent or get you evicted. There's some decades-old contracts with renters paying 200-300€ for a 100m² apartment. These can even be passed on to family.
I still use flux since I prefer to filter out some blue light during the day, keeping it around 5500K.
Netherlands is close to drawing similar conclusions.

Sure, but the most inefficient one. Why buy into all the major drawbacks of a blockchain (essentially lack of speed and abundance of costs) if you can't use any of the advantages (decentralization)?
> "Do the licensed gambling entities not perceive this as a threat? Or has gambling revenue increase overall because these games / apps basically groom young people in to being habitual gamblers as they age?"

Probably a little of column A, a little of column B. The kids gambling with these games aren't potential customers for casinos since they're underage, but the habits they form as children may translate into willingness to gamble as adults. Maybe those kids-turned-adults will continue to gamble with video games instead of casinos, but I'd wager those casinos expect it to be a net positive for them overall. After all casinos offer "perks" that video games can't; free drinks, buffets, etc..
I think the worth of the loot is the difference. The surprise is just nice to have but it's just a piece of plastic, and all of the different ones have the same value.

Where as in e.g. CS:GO you can get weapon skins that are worth thousands of dollars and are even tradeable for real money (via 3rd party sites).

Also because the skins are easily tradeable and have a real money value they are basically virtual casino chips. And they are used on real 3rd party gambling sites, which are completely unregulated and even children can participate. At that point it's beyond the loot boxes, it's real gambling with roulette and everything!
It's ugly but I updated just a few minutes ago, although the patch has been available for 16 hours. The thing is, `drush up` did not show available updates for me yesterday, and I was hesitating between going to bed and manually applying a patch. Finally, I went to bed.

It's a pity Drupal infrastructure was not up to the task of distributing updates to everyone at the moment of announcement.

Unfortunately Apples version for flux (night shift) is not available older Macs and only available for very few displays (only the few Apple made themselves and a few of their recommended one).
Talking strictly about Berlin, most of the EU migrants coming in here fall in two categories:

- highly skilled workers (IT, Finance, Sales, Marketing) that earn much more than average german folk, and compete for housing with upper class berliners

- unskilled workers (constructions) that live usually in temp housing and don't attempt to rent a flat for themselves.

As for the refugees, most of them still live in camps distributed across Germany and if they get a flat subsidised by the state it will be in some low demand neighbourhood.
What did Pete Carroll do at USC that was unethical?
OTOH, native German speakers easily get frustrated very easily and switch into English, if you're holding them up at a shop etc.
This is actually really good. I try not to use any screen after 10pm.
I work at a company specializing in Drupal services. In fact, it was one of my coworkers who discovered the Drupalgeddon2 exploit. My opinion is that people and companies should be careful with using any CMS. All of our customers have a genuine need for using Drupal, but the truth is that for most companies, there is no need for an outward facing CMS. If there is no user interactivity, I strongly recommend to anyone to build their site to static HTML and serve that if at all possible.

Maintaining a CMS is a lot of work. We all stayed up late last night patching all our supported sites. I think it's worth it for companies to completely outsource maintenance to specialized companies. These recent patches seem back up that claim. I'd guess that the vast majority of unpatched sites are self-maintained.

You might pass an os.File or a network connection as an io.Reader or io.Writer to something that might keep it. The GC actually has an extension to sorta have destructors to help with leaking fd's from forgotten os.File's (runtime.SetFinalizer).

However, having coded Go for quite a few years by now, I haven't found it to be an issue at all.
That auto-updating is even possible from the web server process is itself a very severe security vulnerability. I haven’t used Drupal since the 6 days, but back then and earlier the recommended deployment policy had the files directory (for uploads) as the only directory that the server process could write to—the code was definitely to be read-only. I think this was also checked by the system so that it would produce a warning were it not so.

In such a world, RCE isn’t quite so scary. Not quite. (Yeah, PHP code in the database and all that.)

In practice, shared hosting doesn’t tend to take kindly to genuine read-only-ness, and so the grand ideal of not being able to inject persistent code doesn’t work quite so well.

I really don’t like the way Wordpress does it, but the way Drupal does it also isn’t great. I don’t like the security models of any of these PHP things.
> native Mexicans would hardly recognize
> what we in the US call Mexican.

That's just second hand synthetic snobbery.

Even more amusing is the person down-thread who echoed some wives tale about Mexican workers refusing to eat the food in the Mexican restaurant they work at in the States. Come the fuck on.

The only people I've ever heard say these things are Americans, especially pochos trying to claw back some cultural credentials because they don't speak Spanish.

No different from any other time someone thinks loudly disliking something makes them more tasteful and authentic. Like an HNer shitting on Javascript.

I'm sure the Mexican food in Finland is fucking terrible. But let's not pretend that Mexican cuisine is some impenetrable wonder of the world, nor that Mexicans as a whole won't devour Mexican approximations with the same fervor they drink Coca Cola and queue up at Subway in their Sunday clothes.

> Walmart Inc. is getting suppliers to put food on the blockchain

Phew! Blockchain is NOT a database, you don't put something ON blockchain. Blockchain is meant to track changes of data, not store the data. The size of the entire Bitcoin Blockchain over the last 9+ years is 194.86GB [0] i.e. it can be stored on your local hard drive. Therefore, you can't put "food on blockchain".

In that case it’s completely useless.
Many people believe that renting a place for a long time should give you leverage over potential renters. Because it's cruel to rip someone from the place they've lived in for decades, especially if they're older and its hard for them to integrate into a different city or a different district. The people living in a place for a long time are also responsible for making the community attractive in the first place. Local culture depends on the inhabitants.
I can easily see why such a thing is unlikely to happen; yet it is demonstrably pro bono—the bad guys will exploit it, and you are simply protecting the innocent.

Such is the sad state of humans.
NewNode – Decentralized Content Delivery for Everyone, Everywhere
I find that when I am in rural areas, I sleep like a rock.

I think it has as much to do with sound as light. But certainly good light exposure during the day, a dark, quiet sleeping environment, and a routine schedule make an incredibly significant impact in me (someone who has normally struggled with insomnia)
Why do you assume inefficient?

Private blockchains don't have to have nodes mining 24/7.

They can wait until the mempool is at a certain transaction count then new blocks could be added. Or they could mine 1 transaction blocks as they come in. It doesn't have to work like bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general.

Or maybe its batch-like and mining happens once a day at midnight.

There is no reward for adding a block so there is no race. All miners are known and block minting can be pre-planned.
Everyone should have his or her own purpose. But overall I would say it´s to evolve. You grow, you learn a language and go to school, you do a job which should have his own purpose and you can learn from emotional and social circumstances. You can learn from mistakes and from a broken heart and at the end, you changed the world in some smaller or bigger ways. So I think learning is a big part of your life.
Because it preys on kids.

Well, it's not like the rents stay static until death. As the owner you can still find enough reasons to increase the rent for 2.5-3% each year which is above the official inflation rate.

The trust problem is solved with contract law. If you mean the producer has to trust Walmart not to change its entry after the fact, as stated, they could just sign the entry in an ordinary database.

As Walmart is the sole owner of the database anyway, nothing is gained by using a blockchain.

That seems to be a common problem. In New Zealand, especially Auckland, there's a housing shortage so the local governments have relaxed zoning restrictions. But there's also a shortage of builders so they can't build fast enough and housing will stay expensive for years until that catches up.
Not every tragedy is a shenanigan? I seem to recall reading that the self-driving program started before his time, and that that the poor implementation was a result of the folks in that division hastily trying to impress the higher-ups -- not a result of something the CEO condoned. IIRC they stopped their testing after the incident. Not sure how you can claim he was having Uber pull shenanigans here.
Of course you can.

I felt that such "aggressive" countering was justified considering the equivalently grand claims of the post ("EXTREMELY_POPULAR_CONSTRUCT considered harmful").
Well, at least in Berlin you still have renter cooperatives, which also need to be cost efficient but not as profitable. I think even the city government jumps in to support new building efforts by the cooperatives.
Many nut and seed "milks" are an easy DIY. Just soak the, for example, almonds overnight then put them through a sturdy cold press juicer. Soy milk is more work, as it must be heated.

It should be consumed with in a couple days, since there are no preservatives.
ditto the UK. Took virtually no refugees but rents still increasing ... hmmm something wrong with this theory?

Seriously though in the UK we have had immigration over the last 20 years and that must have led to higher demand and prices. Best estimates are about 20% in 20 years in England.

https://fullfact.org/immigration/have-house-prices-risen-bec...

BUT

English house prices have risen by 320% on average over this period.

Other factors are - getting married later, more single people, more divorced couples, and financialisation of housing.

Probably a similar story in Berlin.
