I'm not sure I understand. The places listed are all parts of the Mediterranean, Asia Minor, and the Middle East which were largely white by some definition -- at least more-so than people from Sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia.

> but classical Athens was no less cosmopolitan

Now this is actually rubbish. The Roman Empire was orders of magnitude more diverse than Ancient Greece ever was.

> the gymnosophists were well attested in Alexander the Great's time.

Sure, they were -- as people who lived in India. There's a huge gulf between knowing of the existence of the outside world and developing modern conceptions of race.

Here's an overly simple example: if I told you there was a race of three-legged Martians would you immediately start defining yourself by your bipedal nature? Probably not. What if a small number of Martians moved to your country and you saw one on the subway one time? Still, probably no. It's not until you're faced with a deeply-connected universal society that includes bipedal, tripedal, and quadrupedal humanoids that you might start thinking that way.
But there's no use of miles at all in the article. It uses kilometers for distance and meters for elevation.
I wish the documentation gave more details about the whole conversion process.

I'm guessing that the RISC core gets optimized by dropping instructions that aren't needed for a particular C program.

But does it have some kind of heuristic to determine whether or not to drop an instructions based on how often it's used? Or is it just a greedy "If the C compiler generates instruction A, then add instruction A to the CPU" decision?
I've recently used EDLIN from an 80s version of MS-DOS.

After spending 5 minutes with the manual, I realized it was the best line editor I've ever used.

ed is very similar, but it doesn't come with a nice manual.
The info page is chaotic and doesn't start from the beginning. You can cover typical usage in 5 lines, but no, you have to read through 25 pages of stuff just to figure out a sensible command. I just use vim or nano.

Can you even use court cases from a different country as precedent?
1 - I don't think I'd use.

2 - Instapaper has offered Kindle bundling for a long time.

3 - This sounds interesting. I'd like to hear more.

4 - I don't have a use case for it today.

5 - I think this kind of thing has been done for a while.

I'm fine listening to the arguments of people who believe we need to restructure all of commercial agriculture. That's a coherent perspective.

What I'm not fine with are people pretending that a bee-pocalypse threatens commercial agriculture as it exists today as a stalking horse argument. I'm not saying that's what you were doing.
The presence or lack of a reset on a FF isn't exactly the best proxy for hardware quality.
> How can they make that claim?

How about your own claim? You can start with yourself, which should be much easier since if you want to ask the person something you just have to do it in your head.
You're mixing different things. "Subjugation or slaughter of different races/tribes/peoples is certainly not a modern white person invention". No, it isn't. But at least in the case of the Romans, there was no racism component in it (I'm not knowledgeable enough to say if other cases were racism related and therefore if it was or wasn't a 'white person invention').

The Romans were quite liberal, once you have let yourself be conquered by them. As long as you recognized the state and paid your taxes, you were free to do what you wanted.

There are very few recorded persecutions of religion cults in non-christian Roman times because of this. Christians, Jews, druids and the followers of Bacchus, they all were considered a threat to the state and that's the reason they were persecuted, not because of some form of racism.
Privacy + telemetry concerns were ultimately a deal breaker for me, but hyper-v plus mobixterm’s x11 server also make for a nice setup.
Poverty is an abstract concept. It's a number in a bank's database. That's like a study during the depression claiming that the stock market drives down intelligence. It's not very meaningful. What's the real cause of cognitive decline? Stress? Less sleep? I would bet one of those two.
There are not always exceptions, and I don't think my exception is being considered when someone makes a statement like that (though AFAICT far more common than people on space stations). What I mentioned isn't well covered, accepted. So I found it worthwhile to mention that exception not to prove that the statement is false but to give an example of an exception to a rule of thumb. One I obviously care about. Please don't tell me when I am or am not allowed to express my concern; I am free to appreciate nuances to extreme PoVs/statements. _Generally_ I'd say I value them. You're free to not care about [such an] exception.
Yeah, that statement is just as bad. Godel's second incompleteness theorem [1] does prove that an axiomatic system cannot be proven consistent within itself but the restatement of the first incompleteness theorem is not a sufficient summary of this:

I do wonder though if seasons might affect cognition. How much time difference was there between "before harvest" and "after harvest"? Lots of farmers get a little depressed over the winter months.
Wow, I like it. It seems like the approach is, "we have no clue what exactly is it about cars that works this way, so let's replicate as much of the experience as possible". Brute-forcing the problem, but sounds like it could work well.
A thread about any Apple hardware becomes a thread about all Apple hardware.
Well, I would say to push on GitHub and mirror to GitLab, but GitLab only allows that with their enterprise edition - https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/workflow/repository_mirroring.htm...

So to use both you’d have to push to both, which doesn’t seem like a hard task to automate.
I feel like it needs to be stated that not all of us engineers have the same brutalistic taste in design.
Why would you use those over the ubiquitous language?

I'm from a country with a reasonable voting system that allows more than two parties to exist. This allows more than two political idea clusters to oppose each other. This might surprise US citizens, but the big parties here don't have polar opposite positions on every issue. Quite the opposite, but once the become similar a voter can actually choose smaller competing party without hurting his own position.

It disturbs me how rarely US citizens criticize their FPTP voting system, even though I understand how hard it would be to get rid of it (only FPTP winners could get rid of it). But still it seems so dangerous, especially now where people more than ever can live their own media environment without common consensus. Anything but FPTP.

Of course it matters how the water is wrapped/insulated. With good enough insulation it doesn't take much energy at all.
You don't have to be actively thinking about something for it to weigh on you and drag you down.

I think people are more connected than you think. Where you used to have to converse with a handful of people in your immediate environment you can now maintain connections with people world-wide.

That also introduces additional stress since we share the pain of others.
What evidence do you have that "mindset" is the cause of the difference and not simple selection bias?

Black Americans are mostly native born. Asian Americans are mostly immigrants or just one or two generations removed from immigrants.

Immigrants from Asia can pretty much only get a visa through some kind of work visa. That means they are pre-selected for having a highly-demanded skill set before they can even enter the country. It also takes decades for them to qualify for permanent residence, so they need to be employed in that field for the entire time. It is almost guaranteed that these people will be financially successful because someone who is employed for decades in a field that can qualify for one of these visas will be financially successful. Anyone who isn't will not legally be allowed in the country.

US law pretty much guarantees that Asians on average will be more financially successful than average because they are much more likely to be here on a visa that requires financial success.
You're using pink noise, right? I wish it would be less common to kind any kind of noise "white noise", as people might instinctively search for / generate actual white noise, dislike it, and abandon the concept. Pink noise is a particular kind of noise that's much nicer to listen to than white noise. I used it from time to time to block my cow-orkers off.
I think that consistency can matter to physicsts, there are some theories that can be written as axiomatic postulates that may be shown to contradict, not contradict, or be equivalent to ZFC as far as that question is concerned.
A good proxy to watch for emerging and growing startup ecosystems is where the venture capital is flowing.

Isn't the idiom "Move over", not "Roll over"?
To take a blob of JSON and ram into MongoDB doesn't reveal much bias. If we later decided "This JSON needs to have, at a minimum, 4 keys, including user_id, import_id, source, and version" then that is the first layer of runtime checks we can add, or type hints, or Schema with Clojure. And that becomes version 1. If we later say "We also need to add created_at and processed_bool" then that becomes version 2. The lack of the 4 keys in version 0 reveals my ignorance, just as the lack of the extra 2 keys reveals my ignorance in version 1. There will always be ignorance, there will always be things I don't know, the important thing is to make that as explicit as possible. Adding explicit types in version 0 suggests that I have a confidence that I do not have, and in fact, I eagerly wish to communicate the opposite of confidence in that early code.
The State of Communities 2018 Report
Depends on your interest, if you want scientific studies or practical/anecdotal information.

If you want science/studies I would start maybe with the krebs cycle/ATP, ketogenic diet, ketosis, ketones as a by-product of fat buring. Maybe mix in studies about insulin, blood sugar levels/glycemic index, glucose, glycogen, glucagon/pancreas, amino acids/liver/gluconeogenesis.

For more practical/functional/anecdotal information, usually your interest will be in sports/athletic performance. You might start with more generic blogs about glucose vs fat and then work your way into blogs of individual athletes in the sport you are most interested in. Although I distance run, I don't limit myself to the experiences of just other ultra runners. I also really enjoy reading about the various diets/experiences of body body builders, sprinters, other endurance sports, and mixed martial artists. It is such a wide gap in terms of performance goals and mass/muscle/weight goals.
Ask HN: What is your favorite Sublime Text feature?
I've followed a ketogenic diet for over over six months and lost 60lbs during that time while eating a disgusting amount of protein and fat. I never felt more clear-minded than I did during the diet. Colors were enhanced and I felt like I had unlimited energy. No ups and downs in mood during the day, no "unknown crash" at the end of the day. Of course this is after the initial crash that you experience until your body figures out it needs to switch fuel.

It made me realize, often when we say we are hungry and we are craving something, it's not that we are hungry, it's that we are craving carbs.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Genetic_Diversity:_Lew...

Yes, if you look at just one genetic locus at a time, there appears to be more genetic variation within races than between them. However, if you look at multiple loci at a time, the accuracy of racial classification approaches 100%. That’s how genetic ancestry companies are so accurately able to bucket people into broad races.

In 2018, repeating this particular fallacy amounts to deception. It’s a an obvious mistake no one would make in any other statistical context.

The quoted paragraph does not support the notion that “a black African can very well be much more related to a white European than to another black African”. It just doesn’t.

And even if it did, it wouldn’t support the notion that white Europeans are more related to black Africans than to each other.

It seems like certain progressive-minded people can never define race (“Ugh, what does white even mean, anyway?”) until it comes time to give resources to black people (“Ugh, why are 75% of employees at this company white?”).
-30C is actually not that bad when the air is dry.
You're trading operational complexity in other areas for arguable operational functionality that CM of haproxy (or perhaps Microsoft's load balancer if you need UDP LB services) already provides for, in software that is still under active development and has sharp edges. Your systems should be as simple as possible, but no more simple than that.

Kubernetes is not turnkey and requires a significant operational time and resource commitment. Prepare accordingly.
The feeling good is a (possible) by-product of the goal: helping someone. When too much emphasis is put on that (possible) by-product it can cloud the moral value of the goal. F.e. how donating becomes a pissing contest in certain rich circles.
I won’t take a position here on whether or not communism can truly be achieved or whether the Soviet Union’s attempt is the only way, but you repeat two major misconceptions in your post:

(1) Different people did receive different wages in the USSR, and managers even received bonuses if they met performance targets.

(2) “Communism” as defined by communist thinkers is primarily the state of existence where the means of production, e.g. factories and railroads, are universally accessible to everyone, rather than under private and exclusive control. This doesn’t really imply anything about government at all, and perhaps even presupposes the non existence of the state, which after all is claimed to primarily exist to mediate interactions between the classes.
I prefer 9 valued logic, but to each his own.
That sounds like a self-enforced variant of do-gooder aversion, which seems to come standard in the human psyche.

Here's a template of a conversation I have to actively avoid:

> I'm making this lifestyle choice for ethical reasons

> You must feel superior!

> I guess that's a risk I'm willing to take?
That seems to be the theme of all info pages, and most GNU manpages. I suppose it beats no docs at least.
Agreed, I thought that was a strange choice of words as well. I just assumed it was some sort of popular British-ism. "Roll over" implies some sort of subjugation, as an animal rolling over in a submissive stance. Rather than "moving over" being something taking new precedence in ranking, as a progression to the next step.
If you are planning to eventually automate this with some sort of recommendation engine, then I hope you're at least capturing all the data and analytics currently to help drive that in the future!
Strange bugs can happen if the hardware is not correctly initialized and the presence of an asynchronous reset is almost an universal practice when it comes to this.

Not to mention that the coding style of a always@ block might influence certain optimizations in the hardware synthesis tool. If the FF is not explicit in the code, the tool might infer a latch instead, for example.

It's true that there are reasons to use use always@ blocks like the generated code provides but it's not really obvious in this case why it is being used.
Not at all - I'm trying to point out that all the suggestions that technical people toss out, thinking they're helping, have a huge amount of technical tinkering underneath that most technical people just don't see. Then when I point it out people think I'm being obstructive, or in your case, that I'm just being negative because, you know, the only possible reason is because I must be depressed.

I'm not, I'm trying as hard as I can to be genuinely constructive. What people are currently doing superficially appears to be useful, but it's not, and I'm trying to raise awareness of what people need to do to be genuinely helpful.
The bigger issue is the loosening of the C-clamps due to this inevitable wear that makes the keys come right off.

Also, this happened to me inside of four months with the computer. I didn't have to air-can my previous Macbook Air for the four years I had it.
Still using my mid-2015 rMBP, waiting to upgrade until Apple fixes the issues with the current gen. Also waiting for at least 32GB RAM.
Yes, True enough. Arguably, network policies are outside of Nomad's scope. It's a resource scheduler. Nomad doesn't turn up interfaces for you, or do routing of IP traffic.

Nomad is not a one-stop shop, like k8s tries to be, it does resource scheduling in a nice declarative manner, that's about it.

It's much more in the unix toolset philosophy, let 1 tool do 1 thing well, and make integration as painless as possible.

k8s is much more in-line with the systemd way of thinking, it owns all the things and can be the only shiny in the room.

I'm not sure I'd agree that turning up k8s is as easy as turning up consul, nomad and vault. K8s in my experience tends to require lots of babysitting. Consul can require some babysitting, but vault and nomad require basically no babysitting, except the occasional, mostly painless upgrade.

For me it's really about operational simplicity. I have to keep this stuff running tomorrow and next year. Shiny, super-fast moving be all and do all stuff like k8s, Openstack, etc tend to be a giant pain that requires loads of babysitting(most notably at upgrade time), as the edge cases tend to hurt a lot, when you hit them.

I own two pairs of men's boots, from different companies, with US sizes on the label 2.5 apart from each other. They're the same physical size, and both fit me perfectly. That's pretty typical. I generally have to try new shoes in about a 3-size range.

According to the L x 3 - 24 rule, these boot should be nearly an inch different (or at least, their lasts). Maybe the US system is theoretically simple, but in practice it seems to be just an arbitrary number that can't be meaningfully compared to anything except the same model of shoe from the same company.

In contrast, I've ordered shoes from Japan 3 times, from 3 different companies, and I did it by putting a ruler next to my foot, and then choosing that number of centimeters in the online form. Every time, I got a shoe that fits great.

Maybe using an absolute length doesn't solve all problems, but my experience (with sample size of probably N<20) is that it works far better in practice. An arbitrary unit of measurement removes accountability, by way of obfuscation, and gains us nothing.
>> We burn between 7,000 to 9,000. That means supplementing your dehydrated food with slabs of butter. In the first few days of the expedition, it tastes revolting, but then your body just craves the fat content and you eat the butter like blocks of cheese.

I wonder how many sticks they eat a day. 1 stick is around 800 calories. Eating a stick of butter is a popular food challenge video on YouTube, but some guys eat 4 sticks (1lb) without any problem, in just a few minutes.
Graph Theory – BaseCS Video Series
You're right, but I think my point is that data science hasn't really done anything useful in fields involving humans.

Don't get me wrong, we do a lot of data science in the public sector these years, but we also measure it's efficiency and capability and compare it to the past 100 years of us doing the same thing without AI, and things haven't improved. At least not yet.

Mean while, the social sciences have given us tool that help us inflict actual lasting change on groups of people simply by using language in a specific way or working toward a shared consensus.

So maybe the question shouldn't be what social sciences have to offer AI research, but rather, what data science has to offer social fields.

I'm well aware that data science has it's value in other fields. We use it to troll through massive amounts case files and save thousands of man-hours in the process, but why would you want to use social science for that?

Intellect also sharpens and stays so only if you constantly exercise it. When you're too poor to pursue an intellectual job you end up doing menial labor which in turn means you're not exercising your intellect. Over time that inevitably leads to skill degradation.
I've been on a ketogenic diet for ~half a year a few years ago. I did lose weight and didn't experience any significant negatives, though I also didn't notice any positives - no extra mind clarity or color perception or whatever. But for the main goal - losing weight - it worked for me well.
Could this tool be used to produce eg a statically-linked version of `curl` that would work the same on any Linux, without needing to build curl from sources?
I find it endlessly confusing how Apple focuses only on how a machine visually looks and gives little thought to how it physically feels.

I never enjoy typing on a mac laptop - the metal palm rest tends to feel either very cold or rather hot, the sharp edge of the laptop is uncomfortable to the wrists, and the keyboard itself is very shallow and unsatisfying to type on.

I personally would go back to an older model, like the latest Macbook Air that has regular keyboard (I don't think it has butteryfly keys yet).

Otherwise it's a good time to switch. But frankly I was unimpressed with my Thinkpad. Felt like death by a million papercuts whether using Windows or Linux.
