Zimbardo was an evil man who tried to justify his behaviour by setting up a sham experiment to "prove" that everyone can be evil, given the right circumstances.
Recently spent a month in SF after having spent a month in japan : US needs to restart its food habits from scratch. yes, you can eat very healthily if you’re ready to spend 40$ per meal ( either in restaurants or buying in organic groceries), but anything under that price will get you fat, sweeten,artifically flavored, huge piles of sh*t.

And this was SF. I can’t even imagine how it’s like in the average US city.

Could this benchmark be applied to Reactor or RxJava? It would be interesting to see how they compare to the mentioned solutions.
I also had LASIK surgery and feel that my light sensitivity has increased, especially to sunlight. I used to never wear sunglasses before, and now I feel I need to in some situations.

Someone pointed out an interesting perspective. Perhaps it was that my glasses and contact lenses had a UV filter on them that sunlight did not bother me. Maybe it is not the brightness, but the amount of UV light hitting the eye that is responsible for some of the light sensitivity. It could be UV sensitivity, and not light sensitivity.

I have not taken the time to try to test this hypothesis out in any meaningful way, but it is an interesting thought.
Is it possible for them to fork under a new name? I ask because it depends on how they have structured the copyright of their code and open source licensing. I don't see any other simple solution besides forking and creating a new entity he owns 100% of.
What resources would you recommend for a beginner programmer with no experience of C or C++?

I'm a mature student studying a computer science degree but wouldn't say it's providing anything in the way of proper programming experience, though I do understand the most common data structures and algorithms as result.
You're forgetting about income tax.
IIRC, they were never deployed to roads. Instead, they were deployed in a pedestrian zone (30 panels or so). It didn't go well, issues included loose panels, failing panels, and a fire in the electronics cabinet.
Exactly what I thought.

Yes, respecting all the legal parameters can be time consuming when you are building something new features (especially in corporate environments), but actually I think laws like the GDPR are quite important in our modern day life and as a EU citizen I am thankful we got it.
>The eventual resolution never involves Jobs saying 'ok, ok, you lot were right, let's do it your way'.

That would be un-becoming of a narcissist and a leader. What he would do, is to do a 180 and claim that it was his idea all along. From a dispassionate point of view this is actually good since all sides of a contentious issue can be fully explored, but it sure feels shitty when someone steals your idea and claims it as his own.
Interesting. One of the disqualifying factors for my LASIK surgery would have been if my pupils dialated too much. Luckily, mine did not.
A few years back I have removed all like buttons, Disqus comments and analytics from my blog. Even though I have hosted the images myself and generated links. It took me maybe an hour and that is because I was browsing reddit or something at the same time. Now I do not need to do anything about GDPR.
I do. They have too much access to too many people's data. And making billions on the data. Plus having biggest infrastructure and buying best AI and ML brains in bulk. I hope you can add all this together and see the picture.

Kids worry me the most, as this G.Education is pushed on them without choice, being profiled from 1st grade.

Anecdatum, but:

My wife and I live in an expensive city. It's pretty fun.

Except, we just had a child. She's pretty fun too. In fact, we think we might like another.

She makes all the fun stuff in the city irrelevant (not heading to the bars these days), and the bad stuff in the city pretty horrible.

* She's inhaling poison every morning I walk her to creche.

* If I let her ride a bike on our street she will die.

So, thinking to ourselves "this is crap" we decided "let's have dad get a remote job and buy a cheap place in the country". She hates her job anyway.

Lo and behold, a few days after we said "all right, that's it, we're doing it" she gets two interviews for jobs she'd really like, in her sector (museums and heritage) - In the city (around the corner, in fact).

So, if she gets the job we're staying in the city and not having another kid. If she doesn't we're moving to the country and probably having another kid.

In all this, you'll notice I never said "we could find a place with more room within a reasonable distance from her potential new job" - because it's not really an option. They're quite expensive, and on top of that, banks here (not the US) make it quite challenging to get a mortgage. We've managed to save a reasonable deposit (if we could get a mortgage) but can't quite buy a place in the city for cash. We could get a place in the country for cash, though.
Working with the system clipboard in Vim
While GraphQL has it uses, i can't seem to see how putting the query logic in your frontend is a good thing:

How do you control scaling, and writing performant queries?
When you make an API endpoint you have control over the queries you make and how you make them.

With GraphQL you lose that control right?
Maybe its good for internal projects, where you own the client and server. But often just exposing the internal DB directly to GraphQL is probably not a good idea. Maybe writing the DataLoaders yourself is better. But then you are already close to the effort of writing a simple endpoint.

For simple API's graphql seems like overkill.

>I think it’s worth asking why anyone in their right mind should care about mid-century handwriting recognition algorithms in 2016.

Lots of people care, specially in Asia(Chinese and Japanese). It is just that the problem is incredible hard.

We put 5 very smart people working for a year on that, and it was totally impossible meeting people's expectations, specially people like doctors taking notes fast(and ugly).

We thought that the market was in creating mindmaps or something instead as people could write slower and better.

But people write a double u and expect the computer to see an "m". With deep learning is possible but extremely flimsy.
Facebook have changed their privacy policy and ask for consent to track via external sites through things like the 'like' button.

Google Analytics is largely anonymised and deletes data after a set time now, including any custom user data that you may set up yourself. You have a legitimate reason to track people interacting with your web property.

Also, if a site is a personal project, not a business, it doesn't even come under GDPR as there's a household use exemption. (Not sure how a household use interacts with things like FB but let's assume non-third-party processing of data is exempt - e.g. comments with named user labels on a personal blog)

This feels like a whole lot of fuss over a very shallow reading of one of the most carefully thought-out pieces of privacy legislation the world has seen. It's got flaws but these aren't them.
I like the included http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpacktut.html.
I can't get into Simon's head, but I've got a feeling that GDPR contradicts the basic maxim of hacker culture that my computer belongs to me. The website seems to teach how those who care enough can protect their privacy by getting control over one's own computer, not imposing requirements on the others'.
The scariest part of this article is that there is still an amount of sugar that is recommended for adults.
I did my LASIK in Poland. You can do a 3 week vacation with the surgery and three doctor followups for the price of just the surgery in the US. This is on state-of-the-art equipment in a top-rated clinic in Warsaw, not a budget option at a second-grade clinic.
Yep, that's the unfortunate rub. And why I'm on iOS now ("dumpster fire" is also my take on the alternative ...)
> if you’re ready to spend 40$ per meal ( either in restaurants or buying in organic groceries), but anything under that price will get you fat, sweeten,artifically flavored, huge piles of sh*t.

This is really exaggerated. I lived in SF, and would easily prepare healthy meals for ~$6-8 per meal ($2-3 for some proteins, $1 or less for some portion of rice or some bread, and the rest for vegetables). Maybe $10 max if I felt like eating avocado :)

For one thing, healthy != organic. As much as pesticides are harmful on the long run, the biggest health hazard is the type of food you consume, not its provenance. Eating bananas or some oatmeal instead of pop tarts and Oreos saves you money.
> that ignore every single required element, warning, and instruction

I suspect it isn't that they've read and ignored the instructions. More likely it is complete ignorance: that they have not even bothered to read that document properly, if at all.

It is easier to throw out an attempt and hope for the best, than to make an actual effort to be compliant. After first refusal people will either give in ("it was worth a try, but I really don't care that much"), make more of an effort second time around ("the lazy way didn't work, so maybe I'll make some effort") or bitch & moan about how unfair the system is like a child who isn't allowed more cookies until he tidies his room.

Very few people care to take the time to read the rules on public facilities. They even openly admit it: hence all the forum posts that start "please delete if not allowed" which basically means "I don't care if this is allowed or not, I want to post it so I'm going to whatever your rules say so fuck you".
I have a question regarding that. I'm not particularly fat (185cm / 6'0'' tall and weighing 85kg / 187lb), but I'm quite unfit (you wouldn't be able to see any muscles on my body).

When I try to do something like a 7-minute or 9-minute workout, I'm usually unable to continue after 3 minutes because of sheer exhaustion, and I'll have aching muscles for the next few days after that. Any recommendations how to overcome these initial problems? Maybe drastically shorten each exercise (from 1 minute to 15 seconds or something like that)?
I'm confused. On https://github.com/cognibit/Text-Normalization-Demo it says:

The approach used here has secured the 6th position in the Kaggle Russian Text Normalization Challenge by Google's Text Normalization Research Group.
The demo code used for test results in the paper are available in https://github.com/cognibit/Text-Normalization-Demo. The model implementation is located in src/lib/seq2seq.py. We did not code the DNC cell from scratch, the official implementation was used.
Interesting. I have several suggestions though:

- the hex modifier does both turning mode on and off, which will be confusing in a longer file

- it would be good if prefixes such as 0x or bx were handled to temporarily override the current setting

- using "get var" to actually output something is weird, i'd use "put"

- add a way to handle endianness

I didn't know it had racial overtones. Here in the UK it's usually said with a sarcastic laugh when we want to mock Trump and hit him with a slogan we remember from the US presidential campaign. The inference being he's really not 'great' and he's devalued the USA by being its president.

Good to know, I will avoid in future.

there's Clara.io

yea I know not the same as blender in emscripten but the same as in a pro modeling package in the browser

I think the biggest hurdle tho is data. 3d editors generally need access to 100s of megs of data so you'll likely hit a wall pretty quick past a certain size. no idea how clara.io handles that

I think you are misreading the intent there a bit.

I saw the suggestion as taking payment for a physical printing service (where there are actual costs to cover: materials, time, delivery) - not taking payment for core/basic features of the software.

As long as submitting to a local printer (which would be a core feature, if printing support is present), or exporting to a format that can be imported into something else for local printing, is not charged for, all would be well.
Good old Harpy, what a guy.

I can speak from experience that using your middle name creates it's own set of super annoying issues.
I have found that working for startups, that unless you're the team lead or the only dev, there is usually very little room for growth or advancement. The annual pay increases are terrible and the employee turnover rate is usually quite high.

These pros/cons are based of my own experiences (I'm based in the UK).

The pros:
- Come into work whenever you like (within reason)
- Working with latest tech
- company culture is usually great
- Your team are usually very motivated and passionate about what they do
- The challenges you usually face are exciting and interesting
- Being present when the company meets new milestones is very satisfying

The cons:
- Sometimes the features requested doesn't have enough information. This leads to the development team to either chase management for more information or make do with the information thats there. Which then leads to complaints or feedback after the work has completed (which could've been outlined before the work started)
- Management usually want to know the fastest way to do a feature and then claim to allocate time to deal with the technical debt later (it usually never happens)
- Management also doesn't prioritize the stabiliy of the application which in turn can lead to more issues and bugs along the way.
- Deadlines get shorter and stricter as the company gains momentum. As a result you're expected to do more overtime or work later if you fall behind. There is usually no room for error here.
- Work/life balance is not so great
- Doesn't provide great benefits such as pensions/healthcare/dental
- No room for advancement

I don't think its too bad working in a startup, but once I became employed to a (self-funded) medium sized company, their culture seemed significally better. They provided all the pros outlined above and had fewer cons. Work/Life balance was much better, allowing us to work from home or flexibility to do so if we needed to be home for a delivery or take the car to the garage for example.

Also, its more relaxed. While there were deadlines, we're also not encouraged to rush anything, we were the ones who dictated how long it takes to add a feature and set our own deadlines based on the complexity of the feature. We also had the ability to push back the roadmap accordingly if necessary in order to make sure something is done right. The reason for this is that bugs or issues can really damage the companies repuation and so its pretty important we take our time and do all the due-diligence required before our releases.

I suspect working for a self-funded company is better because the clients/customers are already there or on-boarded. There is no/little pressure from the shareholders or investors to get things done quickly. I would imagine that a startup has a lot to prove and so needs to impress in order to get more funding.

Note that these are my personal experiences, I've only worked for 4 startups but I've had very similar experiences with all of them. If Startups are able to at least alieviate all of the cons I've outlined above then I would be happy.

Search on 'four hour body' or 'slow carb' -- following the release of Tim Ferris' book there's a huge wealth of blogs, forums, etc that contain lots of fast, tasty recipes that meet the general criteria. Vegetarian complicates matters only slightly -- either way you're looking to consume a lot of legumes unless you're going completely carb-free.

The best sources are working experts in the field. Getting someone to answer your questions could potentially save you months/years of reading books (and give you insights you won't find in books). The problem is, of course, how to find those people that are willing to talk to you. I wish someone would solve that! I'd be happy to pay for that kind of service.
That's strange, I spent a month in Japan this past winter and had the opposite experience. My diet in America consists mainly of lean meats and veggies. It's nearly impossible to find veggies in the amounts that I want to eat in Japanese restaurants. All meals come with a large portion of rice - in fact the primary source of calories seems to be rice, with small side dishes for flavor. To contrast, in NYC you can find tons of meals for under 15 dollars with a lot of veggies and good proteins.
Where in India did you undergo the surgery? Can you recommend any LASIK surgeons in Mumbai? I'm planning to get LASIK done and would appreciate your help.

You used the word prepare. Plenty of people do not have that option, either because they're in a hurry or they don't live nearby or, like in my case, they're tourists.

The question whether we need distributed stream processing can hardly be answered unambiguously. In general, everything depends on what features we actually need: scalability, fault tolerance, high availability, performance (latency or throughput) etc.

In any case, there are two ways to distribute stream processing tasks:

* [~Heavyweight] Use a cluster with multiple runners like [Spark Streaming](https://spark.apache.org/streaming/) or [Flink](https://flink.apache.org/)

* [~Lightweight] Do stream processing in applications, at the edge, on gateways or devices like [Bistro Streams](https://github.com/asavinov/bistro/tree/master/server) or [Kafka Streams](https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/streams/)

Normally, distributed stream processing requires also partitioning the data, e.g., by user or session ids, so that these isolated streams can be processed independently at different nodes.
Unfortunately, this just leads to areas that are well-run already (generally rich ones) getting more and more funding, and areas that are already poorly run (generally poor ones) having to work with even more restricted funding.

With a property tax system, it would be impossible to rehabilitate a municipality where property prices have dropped to ~0 (e.g. parts of the North of England, and Detroit).

Motorists 'are being misled by autonomous driving aids' – report
I consulted for a certain 'unicorn startup' based in India during their stealth stage. I joined another (now defunct) startup as employee #2. Worked my @$$ off for 3 years before I called it quits. From my own experience:

Pros:
- No layers of management BS

- Startups seem to be more flexible about work hours and remote work

- More wiggle room to experiment; open to embracing new tech

Cons:

- Inexperienced leads, managers, CXOs. I can't stress this enough.

- Uncertainty. You gotta have a bag packed, ready to hit the streets at short notice

- Slog it out as an 'early employee' for years and watch the company go down the drain. That is the story of most startups. The chances of making it big are astronomically low.
