To be clearer, I should have written 'a calculation' and 'a computation', as in the examples of the older usage, 'compute' is a singular noun, referring to a specific calculation, and the acceptability of substituting, under current usage, 'compute' for 'computation' here (where the latter is shorthand for computational work or effort, rather than referring to a specific calculation), has no bearing on the usage five centuries ago - and nor does the usage five centuries ago have any particular relevance for today, given how much computation has changed since then.

They misspelled their own domain in this article. It seems their problem is a lack of attention to detail.

The complaint about charging for domain registration is nonsense. Domain registrations are non-refundable. If a registrar ever registered domains for customers before payment, they’d quickly find themselves out of business. Payment is always up front across the industry.
I'm a very novice cheese maker. I also recommend watching Gavin Webber's youtube videos to understand the basics. He's probably not the best cheese maker in the world, but he's refreshingly honest about his mistakes and he shows videos of where things have gone wrong and what he thinks he should have done differently. One thing's for sure, though. He dominates cheese making videos on you tube :-)

But other than that, I think the best thing is just to make cheese. My wife is in charge of the credit card in our family and when I told her I wanted to make cheese, she wisely suggested that I see what I could do with things I could find at the grocery store -- just to see if I would still be interested after 3 days (she knows me well!)

I started with some fresh cheeses -- mostly ricotta. I learned why UHT milk can't be used for anything other than ricotta. I experimented trying to make cheese from yogurt and discovered why that doesn't work. I did many google searches about how rennet works and how acid curds are formed (I believe it is the University of Wisconsin that has a really good page somewhere about how casein micelles knit together in a variety of situations, but I can't seem to find the page right now).

In the end I discovered that you can make a hard cheese by inoculating milk with yogurt (thermophilic culture), bringing the temp to 42C, letting it ripen for 40 minutes, then slowly adding citric acid while stirring slowly with a whisk. The resulting curd will melt slightly (!) and you can ladle that into a camembert hoop (which I fashioned by cutting the ends off of a pet bottle and poking holes in the side with an awl). If you drain for 4 hours, flipping every hour, it will form a delicate cheese that you can brine. It's essentially a lactic cheese (even though the final curd is made with citric acid, not rennet). I let mine age in my regular refrigerator and it eventually formed a rind. I'm still waiting to taste it, but I've done a couple of cheeses that way and eaten them fresh and they were delicious (tart, crumbly, like a Caerphilly or Wendsleydale). I've also tried making a fresh cheese with a butter milk culture (mesophilic) with a washed curd. It was also delicious, but I'm not sure that washing the curd actually did anything -- it's already too acidic at that point.

Anyway, I feel like it's almost like playing a game without reading the spoilers :-) It's super fun just experimenting and by and large you can make a cheese of some description. I need to wait until winter to do some more "normal" cheeses, but my experiments have whetted my appetite (and I've unlocked the "you can use the credit card" achievement).
I wrote a bill with my friend Representative Daniel Zolnikov in 2013 to try and fix data privacy in Montana. Montana as a state provides its citizens with a constitutional right to privacy, but much of this right is not enumerated in law. The bill is a pretty good foundation for what data privacy should look like in the US IMHO.

Fun fact, Daniel was presented a "Black Helicopter" award by his colleagues for saying our information is being bought and sold by unknown third parties (and potential nation state actors). They apologized after the Edward Snowden leak.
I believe we still have the chance. The opportunity exists in the business world because when companies become successful is when collective leadership becomes most focused on maintaining success.

Doing well reduces the incentive to explore other ideas, especially when those ideas conflict with your proven business model.
I remember it used to sell itself as the most modern platform though, but that was back in 2013 or so, perhaps that's why it bugs me.

Rittenhouse was a delightful find for me a few years ago. A friend and I ordered Manhattans, he asked for his to be made with Rittenhouse. Funny thing is, it's the only bourbon or rye that I drink straight... it is smooth and delicious. The people here who've mentioned Rittenhouse are doing you the same favor that my buddy did a few years ago. And it's very affordable, usually $22-$25 a bottle. As many have said, although taste is a very subjective thing, cost and enjoyment aren't always correlated...
> Do you want to convince people that something like guix is better than docker

No, we show that Guix is a tool that gives you a way to work with software environments at a higher level; but at the same time you don't have to give up on application bundles like Docker. You can simply generate Docker images or other forms of applications bundles from that higher-level representation.

You are welcome to take a look at this paper that I co-authored where we explain why we use Guix for a reproducible bioinformatics pipeline, and the rigorous, declarative functional package management approach instead of the imperative approach of Docker files:

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/04/21/298653

We're also providing Docker images, but we generate them from a higher-level declarative specification that ensures a high degree of bit-reproducibility.

Ah, looks like my profile didn't have contact info. Fixed.
While objects are overrated, that's not what I'm talking about here. I didn't say "imperatively constructing objects of a type", I said "imperatively constructing types".

This has likely changed since I last used javascript, but in the bad old days, if you wanted to specify a "type" (in the structural sense- a common set of fields that you might construct instances of), you build that type with statements rather than declarations. That feels icky. Also, that means that any potential IDE has to interpret your code (rather than simply parsing declarations) to provide any real support for you, which meant it took forever for IDEs to provide things like autocomplete (let alone foolproof renaming).
Can I ask why you chose to leave namecheap for Google?
Bosch Fawstin: Twitter Suspends Me Again
There are many regulations that will burden you by having to record, audit, etc, where/when/why/how you are dumping waste, to help assure you aren't dumping it into a river.

Dow, having established cash flow and infrastructure, can trivially bear whatever these costs. These regulations were even created because Dow themselves (et al), somewhere in the middle of their life, optimized their profit by dumping in rivers.

You personally know the environmental harm and grave illegality [0] of improperly disposing of waste products, and your company is small enough that you can be sure everybody is of similar mind - you're focused on solving technical problems, having not yet been taken over by beancount-maximizers. But you still must pay the costs of the overbearing "compliance" paperwork designed around large amoral entities, perhaps even having to hire a dedicated government bureaucrat fresh out of law school. This is the gatekeeping-legislation dynamic people complain about.

[0] Which given your corporate size and lack of TBTF, would be a criminal penalty rather than a civil wrist slap.
Users and UX somewhere will be thrown under the bus. The question is - will it be a heavily used multi-million dollar valuation site, or will it be a rarely-used development site?

A big part is the blur between toy and product. We disregard end-users as "sheeple" while simultaneously receiving gratification from their auth count.
I can't phrase this question very well, but from your experience, what are the possibilities with Virtual Reality in that?
As in, could we ever reach a state of virtual-presence rich enough that it does the trick and is not the Matrix?
That is very informative and helpful; thank you. I wasn't aware or didn't remember all that.

I still think there's more diversity now than before the Internet. There are several more publications in my locale, for example, and some are more focused on local public affairs than the leading local newspapers were (which I assume have to appeal to a wider audience). And there are the other sources I mentioned.

Do you know if it's objectively worse than before the Internet?
Exactly, stripping UTM just screws with the results of (often small) businesses using google analytics trying to figure what campaigns/content efforts work.

GA does not provide any individually identifiable info to its users.

Stripping the params does not prevent google from tracking you internally.

So I am not sure what this is trying to accomplish.
MIT’s modular plug-and-play blocks allow for building medical diagnostic devices
This is going to hurt everyone but really motivated hackers in there.

If I had to smuggle some data out of a PC I'd use the audio card at a very low volume but known frequencies to output the data the FSK way, leaving a phone near the speaker recording the audio, then at home I'd reconstruct the data just as old modems did 40 years ago.

Other methods could also be used: blinking a pixel (or the optical mouse led left on the phone camera), raising the cpu power usage by making it run busy loops according to data ones and zeroes (nobody would object a bluetooth power consumption measurement device connected to the PCs mains cord), or manipulating innocuous fields into IP packets such as the Time To Live: make it higher than X and it's a one, make it lower and it'a a zero; routers will ignore the trivial difference but a passive (100% undetectable) tap into the network cable still allows to sniff the data. Actually, unless the infrastructure is instructed to report Ethernet frames sent to wrong addresses, one could send malformed frames carrying data into the payload so that they could be ignored at switch level but still readable by a tap on the cable: that would allow data smuggling at blazing fast speeds, much higher than USB.

Hows Geocities doin?

Sometimes you need to evolve to survive.

Are you suggesting that I think evolution is wrong? Would that really be a fair reading of my comment?

We got stuck with the old codebase and adding features was a nightmare - features a lot of users were demanding!

A positive suggestion for a future project: Implement a new UI with a newer fancy framework -- but have it emulate the old UI. (It should be flexible enough to implement the old UI and the new.) This lets you be maximally flexible in introducing new features incrementally, and lets you easily make comparisons with the old system, especially with regards to performance. In some cases, this can also let you re-use QA assets. Also, this can facilitate allowing users to transition themselves to the new site/new features incrementally, which makes the transaction of switching to the new UI more consensual for the users. (More pull, less push, from their perspective.)

And FYI unlike other companies we don't even force you to use the redesign! We've left the old one up at old.reddit.com

I noticed. Good on you. As a user, the transaction still seemed a bit foisty to me, but it was better than usual. But as a hoary old dev: you can still do better than the naive complete rewrite.
It wasn't hyphenated before.

The one my friend was telling me about recently was Catskill, NY. It’s about 30-40 minutes south of Albany. Some of the market attracted to Columbia County is crossing the river.

It’s a struggling area with a lot of nice cheap property, both in and out of town. The Hudson Amtrak is about a 15 minute drive and 2-2.5 hour trip to Manhattan.

IMO Upstate once you get out of the Hudson Valley is relatively cheap and nice.
I agree that lack of competition is the root problem. But it’s way harder to solve. We should not refrain from trying to fix symptoms of that while also working on the root cause.
Sure. `guix pack` is a neat hack and it isn't tied to any particular archive format.

When using plain Guix you won't need to use any archive format at all; packages simply end up each in their own unique directory and can be used just like that. You can easily spawn a container environment where only the relevant directories under `/gnu/store` are mounted.

It's on my list to add more target formats for `guix pack`, but generally I'd recommend using Guix directly to reap all benefits. `guix pack` is only really useful for cases where you cannot use Guix on the target system.
Scott Kelly: How Tom Wolfe Changed My Life
Assuming this is true, it seems reasonable that on larger timescales, and with greater resources, even more future human lives can be saved. It's a refreshing view, considering my main impetus for a long time has been, "Reduce suffering in the universe." Actively trying to create more life is antithetical to that goal, as suffering is an integral experience of a sufficiently intelligent being. I don't mean to say that that's where I've landed, but my mind is beginning to claw at the edified ethical structures it has built up, thanks to this mega-long-term frame.

Does it make sense to make the universe more welcoming to life, if life is the vehicle of suffering? Would Super-AI's possibly have unbounded levels of suffering-potential? If there is a non-zero chance of that being true, is creating AI the ultimate ethical iniquity possible?

The people that were saved by this fertilizer, did their lives contribute to a net reduction in suffering in the universe? I'm doubtful of that but I'm beginning to question the edge value of this Singerian utilitarian philosophy.
Anyone who has my name can find my address, voter registration records are easily searched online in many states. I only bother with WHOIS protections (which Gandi includes at no additional charge) to avoid spam, very few people can claim they are truly safe from swatting.
I know everyone thinks police are going to investigate and that I’m definitely going to prison, but the sad reality is they probably won’t and I’d probably never see a jail cell. They might look into it, maybe even setup a sting operation, but then in the end nothing might come of it anyway.

Trust me, I know of a ex-cofounder in a previous who company who took off and disappeared with $175k from the company bank account, and despite our best efforts at getting justice or the money back, no one really gave a fuck, and there wasn’t much we could do unless we wanted to get into very expensive legal battles using money we didn’t have, against a person that was hard to get a hold of and with no guarantee of getting our money back, at least anytime soon (years). It was much more practical to just cut the losses and move on, making sure we could do everything to prevent it from happening again by someone else.

And the truth is this is how it is for a lot of things, the successful cases you hear of are really just a small percent of the crimes. Just don’t pick a fight with someone who has the money and determination to hunt you down to the bitter end. Most people eventually give up. Unless you’re killing people or running drugs, there’s a lot of criminal arbitrage you can get away with due to how slow and how apathetic the law is.

Though I sometimes do think about the price I would have to pay if there was a reckoning.
First off I'm not on the redesign team BTW so haven't been as involved in this analysis enough to adequately answer your question and also my statement is one that you can quantify as such.

But the reason I stated it is that A: it was a heavily requested feature B: comments regarding infinite scroll have been weirdly positive (contrasting my point in another reply about most comments are from very strongly opinionated users) and C: usage statistics ie I can assure you when compared side by side people make more of the equivalent page turns. Personally I like both methods but infinite scroll was a clear winner for us.
Depending on where your office is, it could be.

My last company was in an office park in the middle of no where and I don't drive. There were no stores within walking distance either. So if I felt like having a snack or something to drink that wasn't water I'd be SOL. So it was nice that we had snacks and drinks available and made working in such a remote spot much more tolerable.
If a domain name holder abuses the .app domain name, it will cause great harm to the company.

It’s your domain. They are under no obligation to report to you something you are doing. Phishers would use these emails to test whether or not they’re avoiding detection.
I've been mainly asking, how does the compiler intrinsically change depending on the abstraction of it's source and target?

In my mind your argument is equivalent to to separating novels based on if they were written with a pen or a pencil. Yes, there's a difference between a pen and a pencil, but that has no effective bearing on the novel as written. And it doesn't make sense to categorize novels based on that.

Using Typescript with React
At Google an interviewer expected me to come up with topological sort on the spot. I could solve his problem conceptually (figured it was a graph, and that the solution relied on performing a topological sort on it), but no way could remember the algorithm in the 15-20 minutes we had left. It’s something I’ve had to use on the job and I always look it up.

If I interview with Google again, I’m gonna memorize all graph algorithms I can. All my interviewers asked me graph questions.
I am working on something that hopefully can facilitate this and expand what’s possible for the user and their data. If your interested I should she something up soon https://github.com/gabrielcsapo
JS in the browser has direct integration to the DOM, networking, various local data persistence APIs, and other IO and sensors (webcam, accelerometer...) etc. Rust can be compiled to run in a sandbox, which can then be integrated via a remote call interface with the JS layer, and thus be indirectly (via JS) connected to the above APIs, but there are currently concerns around the performance of this approach. Rust cannot independently manage a web page which hosts it, without JS. There is some way to go before browsers support practical, accessible and performant front-end web apps in Rust.
And if you’re smart, that’s luck too. I didn’t earn my IQ.
What other comparable network/website goes to that extent to not force a redesign on their users?

Ok, let's be fair. Given the dismal record of websites with regard to user continuity, you're doing relatively great! However, I'd also say that this is the wrong pool to measure against if you're looking for the limits of excellence. You're doing better than the peer group -- that can be fairly said to be a positive. But what if your peer group are the delinquents?

So good on you for what you've done! Perhaps I'm a bit delinquent in giving you some deserved praise and credit. It's a good start. However, there's a lot further you could go if you wanted to.

EDIT: What is it with the redesign opt-out form? It feels a bit heavy handed. How about I just get to have the old site by default, and I get to check out the new design when I feel like it, without the inquisition?
Tu quoque requires someone to have made a claim in the first place.

I'm saying people make the claim on the average person's behalf that they want privacy and information such as their location (as triangulated by cellphone towers) kept generally secret from governments and corporations who can offer them benefits, and that claim is not actually supported by much evidence. I think the digital intelligentsia cares deeply; the average cell user, not so much.
Well you can just subscribe to the theater closest to you. Why would you want to go to the ones across town?
The root issue is entrenched (literally and figuratively) local monopolies. We want Net Neutrality because we can't switch providers when our ISPs behave badly.

I think if they go after that issue think manner they will get the votes. However, I see them going after the regulatory route, which unlikely to be pass.
Thank you means a lot!! Hopefully soon there will be more places in your area
No. The problem is the subdomain. Allowing people to phish on a subdomain is lending the phisher the credibility of legitimate websites hosted on the domain. It’s like lending a thief your uniform so that he can disguise himself as an employee. You’re an accomplice when he uses it to steal.
People that (potentially will) have power over you, often respect you being blunt to them. That does not make it easier as there is a significant group of egomaniacs that cannot stand it so you need to know who you have in front of you.
Fantastic, if this really translates into human ovaries it will greatly expand the viability of otherwise unfertile couples, and together with better health care and fertility drugs we can tremendously increase the "threatened" human population. We'll finally be able to overrun every other species on the planet, including ants and bacteria. Yay humanity!
