I'm not sure if you'll see this late reply, but here's an idea that may be interesting (ie, accessible and hopefully not too challenging): write a Linux program that doesn't link a standard library (aka glibc). The result will be something that only uses kernel syscalls.

Your first such program probably wouldn't do much; low expectations would be ideal. Returning an arbitrary exit code could be one startpoint, or printing a fixed string could work too (you have write() to write bytes to the TTY, but not printf() (and %s, %d, etc!), as that's a stdlib function :D). This would be a "journey" exercise, not an "end goal" exercise.

You'll need to learn how to

- Disable linking the C runtime (crt0 et al - compile a .c file with 'gcc -v' and pour over the output and you'll spot several crt* things at the link stage), which will mean learning about '-nostdlib', '-nostartfiles' and related parameters

- Deal with the fact that you don't have a main() anymore, you're expected to define _start() instead

- Rummage through a standard library to figure out how to do, well, anything - I recommend poking a smaller C library, like musl or klibc, for ideas (it's mostly boring drudgery you won't need to extensively follow up on just to get started; and there are sufficient "I'm making a tiny stdlib!" projects floating around github that it may be a good idea to weigh up making a 6,983rd - that said, by all means take the opportunity to implement your own strlen(), things like that they're standard entry-level whiteboard challenges)

A good way to get your feet wet might be to first link with musl/klibc/similar, so you can get an idea of the fragility at play (mostly compilers' faults) without blowing everything up instantly, so you can learn how "actually don't use glibc please" is handled in practice. (Read: gcc works, but only within a very narrowly defined scope; clang may work, but may not have as much (easily-found) documentation as gcc. The IRC channel/mailinglist will probably be useful if you're sufficiently interested, but the responses you get may take a day to understand/unpack :) )

There's just enough documentation floating around on stackoverflow and related places that the process isn't overly terrible to start with, and this particular learning process will very clearly explain a heap of stuff.

If you like I can try digging out a bunch of links, but it might take a while (my bookmarks are a thoroughly under-categorized tangle :( ).
One of the great things about Aristotle is his focus on induction, using the facts and experience of life as the basis for reasoning, and human nature specifically for inducing virtue, morality and the good life. But I would even more highly recommend Jordan Peterson's "12 Rules of Life" as far more helpful given Peterson's incredible intelligence and inductive abilities through both his practice as a psychologist and his intense study of past philosophy.

I think the point the parent is trying to make is why allow options 1-3 (disable protected mode) at all? Why not require only option 4 to accept non localhost connections?

> If you're living here, it's because you made the calculation about the noise and decided to rent or buy anyway

These plazas are commonly located in the old town, so a lot of inhabitants might have inherited the properties. Also, it's sometimes hard to judge how loud an area is really going to be before signing the contract - especially the night-life.

I recently rented a new apartment in a crowded street and while it was certainly a mistake to move here, I didn't expect it to be _that_ loud since when we were there for the apartment viewings there were also a lot of other interested parties and it was distracting from the street noise.

I really wish there would be a project to distribute those noise-tracking devices and make the realtime data available to the public. It would definitely influence buying/renting decisions and help for city planning as I think this serious problem is only tackled on the surface and it brings down quality of living.

> There are plenty of hours in the day to make noise without disturbing others and breaking laws.

I really hate that attitude. Not everyone works, sleeps, awakes at the same time. People who work night shifts or are natural night owls should have just as much right to enjoy their hours of awakeness as anybody else. Why are the daylight hours ‘OK for noise’, yet the evenings aren’t?

I’m a natural night owl and sometimes get awoken early by rubbish trucks, or just noisy people, shouldn’t I have the same rights?

For what it's worth, if SQLAlchemy (or any other ORM) is slow, it's probably not because of "serialization" and "deserialization" (of whatever you had in mind), but because the database is queried in a (really, really) inefficient way.

It's also unclear how that's related to whether you're working in an async environment or not.

He was probably thinking about stuff like that.

This might be true if you're creating a very simple web site that is never meant to be a real app. If you're creating a more complex web app, with authentication, user management, billing, admin pages, etc. you are better off with frameworks such as Laravel, Symphony or Slim if you are using PHP.
Sounds like you got it, more or less. Current views of how object recognition works in the brain are a lot like current deep net models of object recognition (e.g. Alexnet and beyond): a heirarchical series of processing steps in which units at successive processing stages get more selective for specific things, and more invariant to image variation (size, position, lighting, etc).
One view of holistic face perception is that it is just the natural consequence of having units tuned to whole faces (or to large portions of the face). But why this should be implemented in humans as a specific category-selective patch of the brain is an open and fascinating question, that I am now hopeful network modeling may inform.
In Barcelona, "Calleu d'una puta vegada" from a balcony, late at night, is not something that can cause a problem.

What would probably happen is that the people being noisy will appologize, try to be more quiet, forget about the incident after about 5 minutes, and go back to the previous amount of noise until some other neighbour complains.
If you move in to a noisy/lively area and then start making noise complaints, then in my opinion you’re the one at fault. If this has been going on for 20 years then it can hardly be considered an ‘unknown’

> So you believe that local culture consist of a lot of people getting drunk and shouting?

Well done for reducing it with your prejudices, this is local cafe culture, which is very social. It isn’t only ‘being noisy and drunk’, that’s just a symptom. It clearly has a positive social cohesion story behind it too.

And what you deem to be culture may not be what others do. But regardless, it exists and was there before you. So, what right do you have to get rid of it?

Granted, if 100% of residents don’t want it, then that’s an argument to do something about it. But, a lot of the time it’s a handful of very vociferous residents that destroy what the majority want to keep.

If I moved to an area with a noisy local culture and found I couldn’t deal with it, I’d move; I wouldn’t try to bring an end to that culture.
Extraordinarily long hours, toxic open office work environments (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6vCBQKN0F8), poor management guided by auteurs with nothing to back up their plight and a culture of being outed when you're too old, or overpaid, is why I'm no longer there.

I think the best answer to this is the fact you can very easily still create outside of these environments on your own. The trouble is finding the other like-minded folks who still want to work in the industry but are outside of it.
I think that you underestimate them... How often do you change your burner phones? Do you turn them off before you get back home? do you use different phones/computers for different purposes?, etc... if want to be truly untraceable, it is not practical at all.
> The two books under consideration here bring the paradox home, each in its own way. Adam Becker’s What Is Real? chronicles the tragic side of a crowning achievement of reason, quantum physics. The documentarian Errol Morris gives us The Ashtray, a semi-autobiographical tale of the supremely influential The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) by Thomas S. Kuhn. Both are spellbinding intellectual adventures into the limits, fragility, and infirmity of human reason.

The author claims we're currently in an age which doesn't accept an objective reality outside our own desires, and ties this to fights in physics (and earlier in philosophy) whose echoes are still being felt.
What I am alarmed at, is the apparent casual nature of conversation we have about people 'positions not existing anymore'.

It no longer alarms anyone, no longer seems wrong to anyone that worker rights, which are the bedrock of a fair and just society, are being eroded right before our own eyes.

I don't advocate for socialism, but unchecked capitalism will lead to a fragile society, rife with periodic revolutions and collapses.

Lack of empathy for workers and the masses is the true cancer of democracy.

Since there's nothing inherently appealing about marshmallows to children, an assortment of interesting looking treats could have been presented, and the children should have ranked them in terms of how much they wanted to try each. Then they could perform the test with each and the outcomes could be compared by the weighted values.

They did the marshmallow test with me as a child, and I thought it was dumb because I didn't like marshmallows; of course I wasn't eager to eat one. When we got the reward, I gave mine away to a kid who ate theirs initially. Had it been a puzzle they asked us not to touch, it might have gone differently.

It's a very subjective test and can easily underestimate the children's preferences.

The article cites his works on happiness, but I scanned several times and couldn't find which works I should read about the subject. I'm fairly ignorant about Aristotle's teachings, writings and only have a knowledge of who the man was. So I'm a bit lost as to which to begin with, targeting the article's focus on his ideas of happiness. Suggestions?
Removing Dr. Manahel Thabet's Wikipedia Page (2015)
It's easy to blame "media" for that, but the media are market-driven in America. The fact that this isn't on good-morning America suggests those viewers don't care.

It'd be nice if there was an easy answer, however wanting the media would force-feed intellectualism to people is wishful thinking.
I don't know why you are being downvoted, since this is a perfectly valid topic that has been researched: http://www.businessinsider.com/poverty-effect-on-intelligenc....

There is also an effect about being time poor and having little to no time to cook. And coming from an also poor and time poor family, and never having learned how to cook. Etc. Poverty fucks you in many ways, and is indeed a complicated beast.
The nanny state wins.
> Is that a valid thing to do? If "will power" was a strongly inherited trait, and the theory is that will power leads to increase household income in adult life, then this controlling would remove most of the signal.

I would think so. If what seems like “will power” is strongly correllated with your parents’ income, that seems to demonstrate that will power is not a strongly heritable trait, thus the hypothesis is likely false.
Totally agree on making this kind of data better available. This way, everybody could have the city they want, with people segregating themselves into neighborhoods depending on the kind of night-life they are looking for.

You haven't proven that they "tend to dominate". You'd have to show that statement with statistics. Even if you did it'd be a correlation/causation fallacy (winners may spend more because they have more supporters who donate to start with).
Yeah, I'm a little torn on this. The OP's claim makes sense on its face, but then I think about my own household, where we're solidly upper-middle class, and my wife and I refuse to keep sugary cereals (and most other junks like Doritos or candy, etc) in our cupboard.

My daughter has definitely experienced them at birthday parties and at her grandparents'. Would she have "willpower"? I'm leaning towards "yes" because her experience has been that she can rely on people. Perhaps a poor child is simply more likely to have unreliable caretakers, so there's less trust.
I meant employment tribunal.
You have an over-simplistic view of the original research. It wasn't only about the "willpower", but also coping mechanisms than we employ to control our urges. And it proven that some children are way better in this than others. For instance some kids would turn their back to the cookie, or would come up with some other distraction, so that they don't think about eating it. Having this type of resourcefulness to quickly adopt to the situation is probably a personal trait that comes very handy in one's life.
I would love easy app automation, but applescript was and is the worst coding experience I've ever encountered. It basically boils down to dictionary and syntax guessing with no clear semantic.

Assuming these are roughly equivalent to their in-ear headphones, I wouldn't worry about missing a fire alarm. They're pretty effective, especially for low frequency noise like aircraft engines, but they're a very long way from blocking all sounds.
Noise is a permanent issue of our current times. Noise at day in huge open space like offices ("Just use headphones"), noise by night in urban areas ("Just use ear plugs"). Meanwhile research has shown, that you can't adjust or get used to noise - you might think otherwise but your ear and brain is doing the heavy lifting for you.

"- We do not get used to noise, but our ears "filter out" unpleasant sounds and cope as well as they can with the daily exposure to intensive noise.

- People are unaware of the damage caused by exposure to high levels of noise due to a lack of information.

- The damage affects not only our hearing ability. It may also appear in the form of insomnia, tiredness, lack of concentration, lack of attention at work, lack of efficiency, and even hypertension, heart problems and digestive disorders."

> It's not about race but rather their patriotism towards China.

Please explain, then, why race is a category used to reduce a person's numeric "trustworthiness score" in China. If one is ethnically Uighur instead of Han or if one has received religious education then one is deemed by the government as "less trustworthy" -- not because of behaviour or evidence of a crime but simply because of ethnicity.[1][2][3]

Since this score is used to determine whether freedoms are restricted (e.g. travel, communication, and forced "re-education"), it is racism.

Of course it can. For starters, during so-called "crunch time", 40 hours isn't that much. Social pressure to take overtime is so high it actually takes some courage to take a strong anti-crunch stance in this industry.

It depends upon the context of the presentation. For most professional talks I draft them out on paper and go right to creating them in beamer. If it's something very informal I've used asciidoc+reveal.js for a presentation or two. In my opinion beamer does a great job at building nice slides and it integrates nicely with tables/figures extracted from the source publication written in LaTeX.

Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics tackles happiness.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicomachean_Ethics

"Let us resume our inquiry and state, in view of the fact that all knowledge and every pursuit aims at some good, what it is that we say political science aims at and what is the highest of all goods achievable by action. Verbally there is very general agreement; for both the general run of men and people of superior refinement say that it is happiness, and identify living well and doing well with being happy; but with regard to what happiness is they differ, and the many do not give the same account as the wise."
It doesn't need to be anything like the human mind. Like cars not resembling horses.
I mostly disagree with the people who are arguing that late night shouting and general noisemaking is just part of the culture and people need to suck it up. But the farm example is a real one. The state where I live has "right to farm" communities, including the one I live in. On the one hand, it's some specific rules about being able to establish small farms. But it's also a reminder not to move out to this nice exurban/rural town and then complain about the smell of the dairy farm down the street.

Corporations expect unwavering loyalty from employees to the point of sacrificing their personal lives, only to be cut off from the company, with perhaps a 'fat severance' check.

To me that seems unfair. If the company has the right to abruptly cut off the worker, the worker should have the right to abruptly cut off his work at the end of the workday.

Somehow, in the US, such workers demanding fairness from companies are ostracized.
