If you are lucky enough to have that sort of situation available and the money to do so... sure. That isn't all that risky.

Of course, you might not be able to get that far. A greyhound ticket is expensive when you don't have work and are trying to feed children. Or your parents live in the same area. Or they are dead. Or maybe greyhound doesn't serve your area well enough for you to get transportation to the bus stop. and these are just shallow things. Anyone who doesn't have a parent or friend to stay with in an area with jobs is just out of luck.

Alex Ferguson would do the same, and reporters would curry favour with him in order to maintain access. This is just bully-boy press relations.
"Don't want to be" assumes free will, which I reject.

"Can't" is still no justification for revenge. Even if we assume that the "can't" is absolute, re-socialization should be attempted for the rest of the life of the individual. See it as an analogy to medicine: we don't say, "this guy cannot be helped, so we'll just let him die."
So that is also just a theoretical idea at this point.
Please note that 'very large' was indeed quoted directly from the paper.

"The average difference for the 14 subcortical volumes was d = −0.70. A set of Bayesian t-tests (see Supplemental Materials and Table 1) confirmed that the mean sex differences were very large, with extremely strong evidence in favor of the hypothesis that males differed from females "on every overall and subcortical volume."

You add that in your personal opinion the difference is 'not very large'. What should be the magnitude of the numbers below to fall into the 'large' category in your assessment?

Quote: "...total brain volume translates to 92.1% of males being above the female mean and an 84% chance that a randomly-chosen male will have a large brain volume than a randomly chosen female" That's pretty significant in terms of means.

We have a rule of no phones at the table. Unless it is for a purpose - while in the middle of conversation if there is a question we can't answer we will check the phone. ("what does a giraffe sound like?" "what does the gallbladder do?")

Otherwise, yes I will use my phone while the children are in the park in the sandpit or playing around. If I was helicoptering over them all the time, they wouldn't explore the climbing frames alone - and i do keep an eye in case they fall but want them to have the confidence to do it alone

and they see how the phone can be useful - want an expensive toy in the shop? let's check the phone and see if we can find it cheaper...

Happens to me every time.

My last side project was a data-driven sport (Cricket) analytics blog (https://hackpravj.com/blog/inside-cricket).
Worked on it for 8 months (every Sunday), now when it's done I don't like the way I wrapped it up.

People appreciated it, I learned multiple new things but it didn't go as per the dream (the initial motivation that helped me start it).
To me, at that point all of the interesting issues are tackled and the remaining ones are boring or outright repulsive so my mind keeps on wandering to new interesting things.

No, unfortunately I have no solution available...
Apple doesn't store Siri recordings for more than a short period for privacy's sake, unlike Google.
Yeah, and let's just pretend that your implied argument, that looking at the other values measured finds that they, in toto, mean the brains are equal. Of course that's very far from the truth.

It's funny: your statement is perfectly true, and yet gives completely wrong information ... you ever thought about taking up politics ?

But no worries: the study did mention the forbidden metric of death : cognitive tests.

First, an important note: the cognitive tests were specifically chosen to be tests where the mean between men and women would be the same, this is not a coincidence. It is known that there are tests where the mean is not the same between males and females. For example, males have a slight advantage in 3d reasoning skills and females have somewhat better temporal analysis skills ("males aim, females plan").

It shows the same as all others, by the way. Male brains are more experimental : more variable in nearly every way. The dumbest human alive is very likely male, and so is the smartest.

Let's face facts here: the very basis for tolerance is, flat out, totally, and completely wrong. There are in fact sex differences, including in the brain and resulting ability. (worse: there are race differences too. aiaiai)

Whether that means we should or should not practice tolerance is, of course, an unrelated question. But we should be able to answer it without falsifying and denying scientific results.

There, I think every sacred egg, left and right, racist and tolerant, has been thoroughly stomped on. Can we now have an adult discussion ?

It is interesting to see that is possible in Kotlin. I just learned a lot about receivers (as an aside, do you know where I can find better documentation? The best I could find was a stack overflow post).

I think this issue with this is what happens when you combine DB transactions with async queries with errors and null handling? It seems like you have to combine 4 different mechanisms in order to do this (receivers, async/await, try/catch, if(null)). Is there some way to do this all with receivers? It seems like they don't really compose.

The 'command' version in Scala could be written roughly the same way for any combination of the 4 features (the types would just change). For example you could write your original example as:

def test() {
// update() compiles but doesn't do anything to the DB
val helloDBOperation = for {
result1 <- query()
_ <- update()
result2 <- query2()
} yield "Hello"

println("$hello") // prints "Hello"
}

Well it was scamish to begin with. 100,000 coins were premined when it forked. With a lot less mining competition a double spend attack was just waiting to happen. It is possible to also do a double spend attack on Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. It's just not very feasible because you would need A LOT of hashing power. So this comes as no surprise to me at least.

I think the menu bar at the top served macOS well over the years, but I think menus on the window are a better solution now that multi monitor and high resolution monitors are so common. Having it at the top of your primary monitor just ruins Fitt's law.

It may be because of how I use a computer, but I only use Spotlight as an application launcher. Because it's there I will type stuff in the "Search" box in Finder, expecting to filter on the filename of the current folder--instead it it searches "This Mac" and my results are variable names from open source code I've downloaded. Since it also omits results from System files and preferences, like ~/Library, I often use good old locate in a Terminal.

Windows Control Panel is an unholy mess. macOS' Preference Pane search, as well as searching for menu items under Help inside any app, is a godsend.

Obviously, IANAL, but my company talked to a few over the past week.

This move is, in my opinion, a bad read on the odds and European culture.

First, culture. The goal (at least in France, but that's probably the same in other countries) is to get you in compliance, NOT to fine you. What this means is that before you get lawsuit and fines, someone will talk to you and work with you to see how you can get compliant.

Second, the odds. Unless you are a big company that thrives on GDPR violations (doesn't seem to me Instapaper is one, but I could be mistaken as I never used the service), you aren't likely to be targeted before a while, at least until a big case is done and over (let's take the odds Facebook is first).

Third, the delay. While the GDPR takes effect tomorrow, you have a grace period of a year for part of it (for example, getting consent for newsletter). I would really be surprised if enforcement start tomorrow.

Well, at least that's my read on the situation. And that's how I intend to do it: pro-actively work into getting in compliance without rushing it too much, and handle things properly as they come.
Sure you could also pay your groceries with lead dispensed from a gun. But that's currently nowhere near broad addoption. It just doesn't meet the definition of "currency", though it will virtually always be current.

Eventually the cycle will repeat again. The moment you will have non trivial text work to do, awk will have to give way to Perl.

The rise of Python was really use case for dealing with standard interfaces like DBs/XMLs/JSONs becoming common. Python hasn't actually replaced Perl in any meaningful way.

I wish the BBC stopped downgrading their coverage to the level of the mirror+daily wail websites, and create articles by cut&pasting other bits of 'social media' to make 'content'.

As a non-native english speaker, for many years I looked up to the BBC to give me nice, literate -- often bland -- coverage, with excellent use of the language, vocabulary and no notion of dumbing down the language -- on the contrary.

These days, it's a race to the bottom.
Websites that are still running ancient mootools versions are almost by definition ones that are not operated by professionals and extremely unlikely to be updated. So - as discussed before - the result would be to break the very people (random Chinese restaurants in Connecticut or whatever) least likely to know it is going to happen, and least able to respond.
Very true...

Yeah, I agree. Psychologically, I found it's easiest to simply not use raises in income.
> Let me know if you have any questions...

It sounds as if you're unwilling to talk about the issues that you're facing. So what can you say? The only reason I can think of that you can't say is that are trying to get some infrastructure suppliers to be compliant and those talks are confidential. Correct?
Because the kit is already on everyone's phones. Tinfoil in this case is almost pure generational squick.
Yes. It's been a couple of years, if others were doing the same, they would have been found by now.

To recap, the fraud was specifically on "clean Diesel" that did not use AdBlue (urea filters that need replenishing more frequently than service intervals - a no-no by US regulations, apparently).

And the specific fraud was ECU software that lowered efficiency to NOx compliant levels only while inside the time-speed profile of the short certification "test-run".

Actually my parents and in-laws are always saying they never spend so much time "playing", "playing is for kids, they can do it by themselves or with other kids", they always say. They may have a point that interaction with a bored parent may just kill their creativity whereas finding something to do by yourself may be a useful skill to learn. So what did they do? No idea, dad was a work and reading the paper at home while mom did stuff around the house I guess.

Perhaps we are just imitating commercials of happy families running in fields of flowers.

It also gets easier, my son is getting quite into mountain biking, can't wait until he fits a proper one with gears and proper brakes. Finding that stuff that you and your kid really both enjoy is pure gold.

The assets that are being traded represent some other economic activity.

For equities trading, for example the shares actually are a piece of a revenue earning company. The trading activity benefits society by allowing the company to sell additional shares to the public when needed, to raise further capital, for example.

For futures the contracts represent a guarantee to buy or sell a commodity at a known amount and price at a set date in the future. The trading activity benefits society by allowing commodity producers to lock in a known price and offload the market risk of their harvest/herd/etc to speculators.

So the HFT participants in these markets are actually helping society in some way by making these markets more liquid and efficient given that the trading actually serves some benefit. For bitcoin/crypto the trading itself is currently the whole point of the endeavor - people are only buying coins because they think they will go up in price, which makes the trading itself pointless.

Possibly it's considered too difficult to move the standard to this behaviour since it's not a new feature per-se? Or I guess a change as subtle as this could also have unforeseen consequences?

It does seem to me like a more elegant solution, and perhaps what the behaviour should have been in the first place.
Cool! Link?
It's not quite the case that you get nothing for losing a wonder race. In fact, you are given an amount of gold equal to the amount of production you've sunk into the construction of the wonder until that point. It certainly isn't equally valuable, but notably, it is a far better hammer-to-gold conversion rate than "Wealth" production. It can be situationally useful.
Apple has never been leading the pack. They were one of the last device companies to release their own MP3 players and the iPod is the device that started the wave they are still riding.

1) You assume extremists act as a group rather than individuals in this survey, why don't centrists do the same?

2) In comparison to extremists, centrists we're less likely to say democracy is very good. Authoritarianism isn't the only alternative to democracy.

2a) then yes, centrists are not as supportive of democracy as extremists.

2b) sure

3) same as above. It doesn't matter what the alternative is, they are less supportive of democracy than extremists.

4) Not sure I understand (no need to list this in my reply, but just being consistent)

5) again, those who hold those ideas (that democracy doesn't lead to liberty) are less supportive of democracy.

Are you just trying to rationalize why someone would not be supportive of democracy? That isn't an issue with the article, that is a justification of the centrist position.

Obviously there are extremes on both sides of this spectrum... It's subjective where the perfect compromise between being explicit and being concise lies. Some languages value the former more (like Pascal or Python...), others are more terse. It's always a trade-off.

"Fundamentally, programming languages are for people, not computers"

Of course, but that doesn't mean the correlation here is as simple as "the more verbose, the better". Otherwise than you imply, verbosity does have its own inherent cost too. It increases the cognitive load on the reader, who now needs to process more text to the same effect, as the meaning-to-text ratio drops.

"Keystrokes are /not/ the expensive or dangerous part of programming, we shouldn't be optimising our languages to reduce them"

It's not about keystrokes though, since code is read much more often than written. Every piece of code written once will be read several times eventually.

So would you prefer eg. begin..end to curly braces? Would you prefer "AND" to "&"? Even wordy language such as Java have been heavily optimized to save space.

It's obviously subjective, but the programming community "votes with their feet", and if you look eg. at the "most loved languages" StackOverflow poll - https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2018/#technology-m... - it doesn't make an impression like wordiness is what people are after in a programming language.

I admit I was an avid MooTools user back in the day. I remember that users of that other js library often pointed out that MooTools' messing with prototypes was going to be a problem someday. They were right. Also, looking back on it, MooTools really wasn't as cool as I thought it was.
Young children from 3 to 5 years old are awesome. You can spend hours playing with some sticky tape and a sheet of paper. make a sticky loop with the sticky on the outside, and use it in between to stick things together. Make a Möbius strip and ask them to draw a line along it. Make a three colour hexaflexagon[1]. Make paper dice with different numbers of sides, drawing them out flat with tabs and cutting them out and sticking them together.

The first 3 to 5 years are critical in several stages of a child's mental development[2]. Too many adults think kids are a waste of time until they are older, but that couldn't be further from the truth. The more time you spend with them and the more of a positive relationship you develop, the more it will pay off in spades later on. They seek attention because they love you and they desperately want to spend time with you. 4 year olds want to get involved and help with everything - let them, even if it means the job takes twice as long. You will never have as much influence over the development of your child again.
