Anecdotal, but from what I've heard it tends to be that at the high school and earlier levels hitting is done in a more chaotic manner. Yes, they're not 300-plus pound athletes hitting people, but seems that even in the earlier stages it is detrimental.
Never let a good tax cut go to waste. Or something like that anyway.
I'm pretty happy with my setup. My garage shares a wall with my living room, so I put the tower out there. I then ran high quality, 25' long dvi and usb cables to the desk in my living room.

Edit: I currently have two gtx1050 in it running at full power, and can't hear the fans at all.
How much of your objection has to do with the technology, and how much with the conflict itself?

In other words, which question is more appealing:

* Given that we're in this conflict, what should we do?

* How can we prevent these kinds of conflicts in the future?

Those are very different conversations. Personally I'm more focused on the second one. But we have to take care of the first one too. And it's messy.
In the past when I tried to build a silent PC, I found that even after removing / stopping all the fans, there was still often an electronic humm or buzz left over. That is when I gave up.

Later I changed desks to one that had one of those built in computer cabinets made of thick particle board. That did as much to silence a pc as all the tens of hours of effort I had put into meticulously researching and specc'ing the build before.
That is nice. But it sucks how misleading this title is. I would have completely missed this part of the article until you pointed it out.
How can this even be solved by the "blockchain"?
I wonder if these water deposits are near craters that are in permanent shadow and always below freezing. You could send a relatively small robotic setup that would melt the deep ice into water and use it to form structures on the crater. Now you have a permanent moonbase without bringing in tons of material via rockets.
Yeah, definitely one of the doom mods.

I'm not familiar enough with the history as I was pretty young when doom came out. Hacking on Doom and Marathon mods was my first experience with programming of any sort.
They are intentionally bombing targets when they don't know who the target is. They don't know if it's a civilian, but they kill 'em anyway. 87% of the time.
You can sign away your right to trial. Can you sign away your right to not be enslaved? Can you sign away your future right to freedom of religion? After you are charged with a crime can you sign up for cruel and unusual punishment?

If I remember correctly that card still needs some air flow to work, normally provided from case fans. That would be problematic in a completely fanless system. A Ryzen APU might be better, as the case would cool it.
I played organized American Football from the time I was a kid. Went to at the time the biggest high school in the state. I don't recall ever having any kind of head injuries despite getting hit a lot. Went out in college to try Rugby as a club sport. First practice, horrific concussion. I am a sample size of one, but I'd much rather my son play American Football than Rugby. If he gets to the college or pro level, then we can have a John Urshel type conversation about whether to continue.
Why Consensus?
I know. I couldn't figure out how to close it too.
Seems to still run fine on my Linux VM. :)
Is that really worse than bombing a vague area, hoping it has a lot of targets or the people you're after?
If you have a better solution, something that guarantees that ZTE won't be making products for the US market that are designed to spy on Americans, I'm all ears.

Being smart about security is all good and well, but it doesn't mean bad actors should be tolerated. It's like saying the real problem in a war-zone is not the aggressors, but the lack of bullet proof vests, helmets, and gas masks, and the civilians caught up in it should put their "man-pants" on.
As I say in the talk (and get a big laugh) 'Powershell is boring. It's too well-designed.'
This does not sound right. The source image must have had more information (perhaps not compressed raw data) than in the example.

The book cover details simply are not there on the dark image (if you scale up the brightness then there is only blocky noise.

So either this is not the right dark image or their network dreamed it up.
Do you think Trump played no part in negotiating peace between the Koreas? No president has been able to accomplish that in 53 years...

Looks like good negotiation to me. South Korea’s foreign minister even credited him for his work on the deal (which is still ongoing).

Hate Trump all you want, but fact of the matter is he’s a damn good salesman, marketer and negotiator. It’s how he won the primaries and the presidency. And now it’s how he’s winning diplomacy.

You can have a problem with his tactics, but at this point the results are really starting to speak for themselves.
Not really, those solutions weren’t quite flexible enough to do what we needed to do. Google Kubernetes Engine has been great though, not much more effort than something like Heroku but way more powerful.
I would have believed that there's some tech that allows an orbiter to detect water under the surface. It seems that such a thing doesn't exist. What's next, droping bombs to study debris and ground waves?
> They didn't start out as a spy agency.

They were a spy agency as long as they were the NSA, and inherited that function from prior, WWII spy agencies.

> That was the CIA's job.

CIA is a civilian spy agency focussed on HUMINT, analysis, and open source intelligence, and also the lead US spy agency (and it's head was essentially the overall head of intelligence prior to the separate DNI), while NSA has always been a defense department spy agency and the lead SIGINT spy agency.

> NSA were the security experts.

They have that function, too, but they have been a spy agency back to 1945 (before being public in 1952) and inherited duties from prior spy agencies when they were founded.

Well, if you get your news from sources like Electrek, you'd think so.

Yet here we are with both Jaguar and very soon Audi selling fully electric SUVs that are competitive with the Model X on both features and price.

And in the second month after launch (March 2018), Nissan sold 11 400 units of the new (150 mile EPA range) Leaf; next year they have a 230 mile range model coming out. It may not be a Model 3 killer based on range, but they sold 300 000 of the old model, so it's no compliance car.

Nissan also currently has a monopoly on fully electric MPVs (e-NV200).

These may not all be sexy cars with ridiculous modes, but if they help save our planet, I'm all for it.
Silent means that it has no sound, but "sound" either means the sensation of perceiving vibrations, or the actual vibrations that cause the sensation. 0 dB SPL is the threshold of hearing, so it is "silent" in the first sense.

Strictly speaking.
What sort of ambient temperature do you normally have in your garage?
Another book (also great audiobook) I'd suggest is Console Wars. I've listened to that audiobook just as much as Masters of Doom. It tells the story of Sega vs. Nintendo in the 80s/90s.

My family makes wine just for ourselves(we live in a village) no tech or chemicals are used but the taste is not bad, I do not understand why they say it should taste like vinegar.
But shouldn’t that be solved by identifying which services need improvement, followed by a rigorous process to seek an optimal solution, then implementation?

If block chain is the answer, awesome! If anything is the answer, awesome!

Do we need some kind of special department to run competitions to try and find a use for blockchain? Probably not.
>Is this a real account?

Haha, yes. I guess that does sound strange. I've grown up consuming news via the internet. It always seemed like a faster / easier way to get news rather than buying a magazine or newspaper.

I would be open to using an older format like a newspaper, but I worry that they may have the same problems because I cannot find an online service like this provided by newspapers (NYT used to have a weekly summary but it has been discontinued for example).
There’s a spectrum of conspiracy theories, and not all of them are as absurd as the ones that literally involve UFO’s and the like. Yes, there is an ideological element to this, but there’s also a very pedestrian element of an overworked court and legal system that is more than willing to accept compromises that reduce its already-crushing workload, and dismissing that element because it’s “simpler” to just blame Republicans is the same kind of oversimplification that makes outright conspiracy theories appeal to people. It’s a lot easier to point to a group of people and say “they did this!” than to actually grasp all the complications of how complex real-world systems function and malfunction.

It can be a problem, also with PC psus. Not all of them have coil whine, and it depends on the connected components, but it definitely happens.

In my case it is the monitor that of all my components has the worst coil whine (actually the PWM brightness regulation).
It's not limited to the power supply, ceramic capacitors are on basically all complex circuit boards now, and most of them will readily sing and whine. It can be eliminated through careful design (reducing ripple) or paying nanocents more for the caps, but as far as I can tell Lenovo doesn't give a fuck.
I noticed this too and was very disappointed.
These studies never take into account that the game is still ongoing while the ball is not in play. A lot of the game takes place before the snap, as does the strategy. The offense after a big play sometimes struggles to get to the line of scrimmage in time to snap the ball again.

There is a flow and rhythm to the game for those of us who enjoy the sport. Though I can understand where you are coming from.
It isn't hard to imagine a scenario in which the majority, or even the strong majority, of each nation disapproves of its own military or intelligence techniques, but nevertheless nothing can change because any nation that unilaterally drops some questionable technique (and don't just think "torture" here, but "excessive surveillance of the home population" and such) pays penalties vs. the other nations and experiences no benefit, making it very difficult for even one nation to climb the resulting gradient, let alone the entire world.

It's a hard problem, and most glib solutions are, well, just that, glib. Centralized agreements become increasingly difficult as the number of entities increase, for instance, even before we account for scenarios like this where the reward for defection increases proportionally to the number of other participants in the disarmament.

This is also ignoring those cases where there isn't even disagreement; in the real world, for instance, while you can quibble about the exact lines it seems to be the case that the Chinese accept and approve of levels of "invasive government" (to use a Western spin on the idea; I don't know what they would call it exactly) that Magna Carta-descended countries would consider abhorrent, making coordination even harder. (Meanwhile, they consider our lack of coordination or whathaveyou, if not "abhorrent", at the very least "sub-optimal", and possible dangerously socially negligent. As I'm using English here and, like I said, I don't know what they'd call it exactly, I can't help a bit of a Western spin here, but I acknowledge the flip side.)
The title 'bash is awesome' was explicitly _not_ what I wanted it to be called. If you watch the talk you'll see what I meant.

The Rust memory model is basically "the C11 memory model, except static checks prevent the unsound parts". We don't have much of a choice, given that we basically pretend to be C at the LLVM IR level and that we want to heavily leverage LLVM's existing optimization passes, which were designed with C in mind.

The "reference" isn't normative, it's just an unprincipled dumping ground for random bits of syntax and semantics and probably should have been deleted years ago, or at least renamed to something with less authoritative weight than "reference" to avoid misleading people as it often does. The Rust devs absolutely do want to thoroughly specify the language someday, though the immediate priority is making sure that Rust survives its first ten years.

I find it profoundly stupid for Airbnb to have their own typeface. It's like they have lots of designers around and have to keep them busy with something.

Raytracing the Washington Monument in R
I get Error establishing a database connection
I used to be able to hear data going over the serial port back in the modem days. Some systems used to make a buzz when scrolling too. These days I have not heard that, but I'm not sure if it's because the frequencies have gone up (outside of my hearing range) or the parts have better isolation or I'm just going deaf as I get old.

I don't think I've heard scrolling noise since I stopped using analog video signals.
If you are located in Los Angeles, I would recommend looking into the Michael Miller math class series taught thru UCLA extension. This is an 11 session 7-10pm math graduate level math course.

I've taken courses on Algebraic Number Theory, Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, and Measure Theory. It's hard, but definitely doable. It is definitely more on the abstract math side, which I enjoy a lot. It is very different than the practical engineering-focused math I learned in school.

One of the students has an introduction into what you can expect. http://boffosocko.com/2015/09/22/dr-michael-miller-math-clas...
A deflationary currency is about as bad as currency can get
I've gotten so much telemarketing from my whois. Quite frankly, it's ridiculous. I'm glad that the EU twisted ICANN's arm off and beat them into submission.

I think ICANN is going to quickly realize that they will need to take an active role in brokering communication with domain holders; this way they will have to act as gatekeepers against spam.
So I've tried this as well to great effect. I can see objective positive benefits in my life when I stop consuming news all together. I've considered going this route and "taking a break" permanently.

I feel sort of guilty doing that though, like I'm being a bad citizen by not being informed about what is happening in the world.

I've also tried just batching it down to one day with the current news sites I visit but I found it surprisingly difficult to understand the context of what was happening based on the news of that day.

Ideally I'd like to have my cake and eat it too. Only spend a little time per week or month reading the news but be as informed as someone who was consuming the slow trickle of the same news every day throughout the month.
Got it. Apologies about that.
It cannot. It is a traditional "big data" problem that involves a large amount of data collection, merging, and analysis.

Blockchain's distributed ledger offers no value-add here. Making it just a glorified Merkle Tree, but that doesn't even seem like the most appropriate way to handle this type of data set.
Why you shouldn’t raise money for your startup
It does seem similar to my experience when changing jobs or changing stacks, but I don't see this happening after the settling in period. I am not working in web dev though, so maybe the experience is different.

Another thing that stuck me was about the use of a semicolon, comma etc to get working. It is a common pet peave when searching for documentation.

For example for a command

$ program <file_name>

Is file name in quotes, <>, or something else? What to do if there are quotes in the filename? Single or double quote? Two examples in the documentation, one simple, and one as complex as possible would be great. This is one thing I end up going to stack overflow again and again.
Parent is referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurry-up_offense

Another interesting thing: one major advantage of speed is actually slowing the game down.

E.g., if you move quickly between plays, you can catch the other team with too many men on the field during a substitution. in that case, you sometimes get a "free throw" (if the play works out, you decline the "too many players on field" penalty; but if the play doesn't work out or the other team intercepts the ball, you take the penalty and pretend like the failed play didn't even happen.

So you can actually increase the length of the game by moving quickly in-between plays...

While I agree with you, and love aj7's post, I'm going to push back slightly on the pen and paper.

I used to do all my work (solutions to problems, notes) using pen and (plain! not lined) paper. However I realized a couple of years ago that becoming fluent in LaTeX was a better option for me. The reason is that, with the proof neatly typeset, and the ability to re-work and edit repeatedly without making a mess, I found that I think more precisely and systematically. I still do scratch work on paper, but writing up a clean copy as I go is very beneficial.

In addition to those reasons, the other hugely important one is that my notes are now in git, I can grep them, and they don't add to the pile of objects that must be dealt with when moving to a new home.

For best results you need to make a nice LaTeX set up. I use the Skim PDF reader so that it autorefreshes on file save, and set up a Makefile and make it so the PDF is recompiled on every file save. But whatever works for you, I'm sure there are easier setups.
My Macs have all crashed more than my beautiful and stable self-built Windows boxes and just about every time I get in front of one of my Macs, I have to restart it for updates.

I’m pretty meh about telemetry. At the basic level where I have it set it just sends them some information about my drivers. Big whoop.

Speaking of clicking though, I can actually operate the entire Windows OS with just the keyboard. You could try to do the same thing on a Mac but it doesn’t really work very well. For instance, open a window from one of your menu bar utilities and then switch away from it with the keyboard. Try switching back. With Apples window management you can’t do it unless you replace it with something better.
Understanding the "Why" important. However, it seems clear that he/she has already answered that question, and now they are trying to figure out the "how". Knowledge is power no matter where it comes from - a textbook, the internet, a master or simply studying the natural world. Seems odd to discourage someone from expanding their understanding of the world.

> in 2013, a study found traces of pesticides in 90% of wines available at French supermarkets.

> Ok, that seems like legitimate concerns.

How many pesticides, though? Are we talking about ppb for compounds that are harmful at ppm levels? Or ones that are harmful at ppb levels? Do they accumulate in the body over decades, or are broken down in a matter of days? Of course, none of those questions are answered.
Perhaps a military metaphor is best —- the QB role is no more violent than Army general, and the players and soldiers are the ones who are most sickened by the violence and injury. That doesn’t change the fact that both football and war have fans who watch on TV and love to see the biggest hits and biggest bombs.
You mean 'anti foreign war involvement' sentiment. It did exist, the U. S. power structures were divided on the question of involvement in the war in Europe.

The sentiment of the opposing ex-Googlers is about something different: arming post-Iraq,Afghanistan,Syria U.S. government with more weapons to do more of the same, when there is no comparable war going on.

I did the same but the tower is in my basement. I ran an HDMI and USB cable up thru the wall and into a keystone panel behind my TV. Other than occasionally having to manually flip the tower back on after a power outage it worked pretty flawlessly. Totally silent and no tower to hide in my living room.
