12vdc is hard to distribute with any higher amperage more than a few feet. One of the reasons why serious telecom stuff is 48 to 56vdc, so you don't have to run a 4 gauge wire to everything. In this particular setup they use consumer grade electronics which are pretty much all AC powered, so they have a setup that is not dissimilar from an off grid photovoltaic home with a few big DC to AC inverters, fed off the battery bank, in the 3500W to 6000W size range.

An IDE should just show the pronounceable name of that symbolic alias on hover.

Symbols are fine as long as they're alias names for fully written out names.

I think Scala will support such an IDE feature with an @alias annotation in the future. (I saw that idea on a slide in a talk of M. Odersky some time ago but actually don't know the current status).
“The data also revealed that participants from holistic cultures – those that value notions of contradiction, change, and context – chose ideal levels of traits that were consistently lower than those reported by participants from nonholistic cultures.“

This is exactly the empyrical explanation I gave to myself when I tried to understand why the people I met in Vietnam and Thailand are vastly happier than the average Westerner.

What a complete waste of time. The point of a simulation like this would be to see observe how people react in isolation and under stress. But, reading this article, its clear that these people are acting to please the scientists rather than reacting naturally to events.

If everyone clucks like a chicken on Day 7, is it because that’s what happens under these conditions or is it because the software developer from New York saw it in a movie and thinks that’s what the scientists want to see? They’re even quoting lines from the Martian while they are in the simulation.

They are playing make believe. This is not science.
> Once upon a time I applied for a credit card but I defaulted on payment, not because of lack of cash but because I never studied how a credit card works.

> But navigating life, making friends, marrying a beautiful woman is a lot easier for me than understanding credit card rules.

I mean this nicely: if you don’t know how a credit card works to the point of default, you shouldn’t have a credit card. I mean, it’s in the name: credit. You say you don’t understand credit card rules, but that’s not even a rule, that’s just the basic function of the card. It doesn’t take study, it takes three seconds of grabbing someone off the street and asking “how does a credit card work?” As someone not from money, it is incredibly frustrating to read that you hired someone to deal with a basic problem that we all learn how to manage in high school, when some of us have ACTUAL problems that we can’t afford to just make vanish.

> If I even see the slightest mark on my skin, I ask my family doctor and they offer me best recommendation.

Please learn when to see a doctor. Most marks on your skin are benign or normal, and when something is really wrong you can tell (e.g. infection, irregular mole/growth, etc.) Everything else is a waste of healthcare time and dollars.

>Sleep is not like the bank, so you can't accumulate a debt and then try and pay it off at a later point in time. And the reason is this: We know that if I were to deprive you of sleep for an entire night — take away eight hours — and then in the subsequent night I give you all of the sleep that you want, however much you wish to consume, you never get back all that you lost. You will sleep longer, but you will never achieve that full eight-hour repayment, as it were. So the brain has no capacity to get back that lost sleep that you've been lumbering it with during the week in terms of a debt.

What does "never" here means though? Obviously you could get back to your normal self after a few days of sleeping well, no?
Money is other people's time.
This sounds like a complete lack of training. I imagine the astronauts on a real mission to mars would be instructed to keep hands clear of any live-front electrical gear during such operations.
- Most recently is the 3D/Tilt web page view feature that was deprecated on Firefox, it seemed kinda useless but was a great tool to visually analyze/debug a pages' structure.
( https://www.wrock.org/3d-visualization-in-firefox-tilt-inspe... )

- Some better general purpose database.

One of the best ones was ApplWorks/ClarisWorks database. Pretty straightforward to make a nice flat file database, pretty report creator, etc.

MS Access is overkill and OpenOffice/LibreOffice, last I used it, was kinda unusable.

- PrintShop/PrintMaster, etc. - Why there is no FOSS version now is beyond me.

- Another is the Kooka scanner utility form KDE 3, it had built-in OCR and was great to work with.
I'm currently in my 20s and I've been a type 1 chronic insomniac my whole life. Physically, I'm healthy and fit and I have been my whole life, but mentally my mind feels slower and foggier than my peers and I struggled through high school and college because of it. I know this might sound morbid, but I am fully expecting to die early despite doing everything in my power to live a healthy, balanced lifestyle. I can't see getting 2-3 hours of sleep a night with all-nighters ~once a week being sustainable as I age and I wouldn't be surprised if my brain has already deteriorated in function significantly.

You're absolutely right, you're just completely ignoring context. Some things break down a lot sooner. Eating or drinking too much of anything can kill you, even water. But drinking acid will get you there a whole lot faster. Rails is the acid of the programming world.

Yeah this is one of those oft repeated pieces of advice that has never made sense to me. It's always worded such that it sounds like the effects of any sleep deprivation ever are permanent.
The cynicism required for that quote to work as intended doesn't really carry over to stuck keys...

I also like to point out that the quote may have ended up supporting the behavior it criticises instead of limiting it. By spreading the idea that such behavior is actually common, it may have legitimized it.

I have no evidence to support this, but I refuse to believe such behavior, especially in the explicit form alleged by Fight Club, is anything but rare. "Corporations are people" (my friend) also implies that people make all those decisions, and individual morality does play a role.

I do have personally witnessed several instances where employees have insisted on moral behavior even when it was detrimental to the bottom line.
Strange to think by nature my modest ambitions are genuine but I have been nurtured out of them by external forces. I suppose thinking this way would preclude one from seeing that ambition is primarily self driven (regardless of size or subjective definitions of "good").
No, unless you live to work, you should demand your right to a balanced life without having to point to scientific literature on the benefits of sleep.

Even if it wasn't stolen sleep (say we needed no sleep, and the day had only 16 hours), constantly overworking would still be lost time (with family and friends and me-time) that you would never recover.

If you account for most other significant things like income, education, social status, job etc you will find that ethnicity is not significant.

The fact that you can sometimes use ethnicity as a proxy for social status and other things just show the discrimination that happens in some places. But when you set all other factors equal someone from Asia, Africa, Northern Europe will have the same default rate. At least in the (European) countries I've run models in.
I am not lawyer. I don't think there's a valid loop hole that would pass a judge in a court of law. Either the contract specifies early termination damages or it was neglected.
Book sales aside, the point about the brain being an associative device, and the advice to avoid lying in bed awake & instead going to another room until you're sleepier, is really valuable imho. Entrainment is very real and happens rapidly, and this advice is not given often enough.
Maybe. Depends on your employer. To what degree are they responsible for how you spend your time?
Why should the site need to call that out? It's about Javascript.

A better approach would be to edit the title here, and any other place linking to it.
Not disagreeing with you at all; just keep in mind that these conditions are ultimately no more dangerous than camping — where exposed, temporary electrical setups are common — which probably gave them a false sense of safety about the setup.

Real NASA systems would need to be orders of magnitude more safe/reliable, but I suspect this experiment was at least partially designed to identify potential failure points that engineering solutions need to be built for (I.e. what things can a human fix safely and what needs failsafes and self-healing).

There's a way to pin sections to the nav bar. So you can pin EC2, IAM, RDS, and VPC up there if you mainly use those 4 services.

It's a bit of a nightmare, as a support engineer, to get access requests for AWS services you've never heard of before. "Need access to AWS services: Cloud9, Memento, Athena, and Pandora Nexus." Each having a completely unique set of granular permissions to fumble over means most users get full permissions to the requested service until the auditors complain.
I don't think testing small group dynamics with a crew who are not "the right stuff" tells lots of useful things of what happens when astronauts go to Mars. Especially when there is no real danger.
I guess what they mean is that if you don't sleep for 24 hours and the next day you sleep for 16 (to make up for the lack of sleep in the previous day), after you wake up you still wont be as good (mentally, immune-wise, etc) as you'd be if you've slept properly on both days.

Obviously that can be corrected over a few days period and you get back to normal (except if you had abused yourself will lack of sleep over many years, in which case you might have indeed incurred some permanent damage).
Not the parent, but so they'd let them sleep longer.

Then you're lucky. I specialize in refactoring and reorganizing extremely messy and large / complex applications. And Rails is my fucking nightmare. Especially when untangling ActiveRecord callbacks, fat controllers, convention over configuration, magic method, and database changes.

Tldr: radiation was the brand not the technology. It printed 7 pages per second (420ppm) on special media comprised of 2 layers, a top white layer and a middle black conductive layer. The paper was held on a huge continuous roll and cut off into 11x11” square pages. The image was created by electrically ablating the top white layer, in a 7x9 grid per characacter.
Good mention! I knew that realpath is a relatively new addition to GNU coreutils, but I didn't realize that older Debians had an incompatible implementation of it.

With a single $(realpath ...), chomping the trailing newline is fine, as realpath will insert a trailing newline after the filename; but definitely something to be aware of with other commands.

I'm curious have you ever tried working out in the early hours after waking up? This alone determines if I'm getting good sleep or not. I'll end up staying up way later into the night unless I worked out that morning.
I'd guess some of both. In my experience, the ability to realize your fullest ambitions (or not) in a society is not as related as it seems to people's innate desire to (or not). One's drive may be limited by external factors and their answers may reflect that, but the same humans in different environments might answer differently. Among groups of humans there are those that find contentment at all ranges of the spectrum, it's just the spectrum that changes.
This is probably orthogonal though. A function might not return anything and still have side-effects (and vice versa).

That said, a "pure" modifier that ensure that no side-effect code is allowed inside a function would be good indeed.

(There could be purity-levels as well, e.g. absolutely pure (doesn't even log or write something to a file or use a random number generator inside etc) vs "doesn't mutate program state" (which is a different kind of the same purity concept I think).
Yeah we are going to die early. Work is killing me. No choice but fit in with the business schedule.
The govt won't make it illegal, it will never get to that. Most people can't secure their passwords, let alone their digital currencies. Most folks are going to get wiped out. If your money is stolen from a bank, you have FDIC insurance up to $250,000. This is enough for most people. For those that have more cash, banks put their reputation on the line to secure your money. These digital exchanges don't care, they have hundreds of millions stolen and keep operating without remorse and blame it on everyone else but themselves.

The Wh stored in their battery and the AC power of their inverter are significantly larger than that you'd see camping. Maybe what you'd see "camping" in a $90,000 50 foot luxury motorhome.

I'm guessing the habitat has a battery bank of at least eight 12v 100Ah batteries (if AGM lead acid, or equivalent capacity), and at minimim one 4000W sine wave inverter feeding several 120v 15a circuits. Also sounds like somebody shocked themselves on the AC power side, maybe the generator transfer switch, maybe just exposed wiring. Either way there are safe ways to do temporary ac power with twist lock receptacle extension cables and distribution boxes that are insulted up to 600 or 1000V and won't shock people.
Isn't the system specifically designed with 'disengagement' in mind? It leaves the driver with nothing to do. Let's not pretend that sitting there for hours with nothing to do isn't uncomfortable. It would be unusual not to seek out something to engage one's self.

I can't fully fault the driver here. It's the system.
The popularity of manual install shouldn't be a surprise. If you want to keep your /home data intact when you upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu then it's best to put it on a separate partition from the system partition. Since that requires two partitions and two partitions requires a manual install a lot of users are doing this.
> In fact, if you take the auto-scaling properties into account it probably beats those servers because it can do it seamlessly up to incredible number of requests / sec without missing a beat.

Autoscaling is one of those things that's easy to name but hard to actually achieve. I've had some involvement with an autoscaler for a few months and it's been educational, to say the least.

In particular people tend to forget that autoscaling is about solving an economic problem: trading off the cost of latency against the cost of idleness. I call this "hugging the curve".

No given autoscaler can psychically guess your cost elasticity. Lambda and others square this circle by basically subsidising the runtime cost -- minute-scale TTLs over millisecond-scale billing. I'm not sure whether how long that will last. Probably they will keep the TTLs fixed but rely on Moore's Law to reduce their variable costs over time.

This is just completely untrue.

It is unclear to me if control of currency had anything to do with it, but looking at the power that feudal governments had over serfs[1] (as an example) it difficult to see how your argument stacks up.

Far from being free, a serf's entire life was dictated by the demands of the government. The size of the family unit was dictated by the amount of labor a serf household owed the lord, and that could be as high as six days of labor per week (hence the size of the family unit was dictated: the if the serf could provide children to do the labor that counted as one person-day).

Another example, English villeins (peasants) in the early middle ages owed their lord (ie, the government) 117 days work per year. Thats a little more than the 10% you claim.

We work to live. It’s not our employer’s fault we are broken people.
You're getting downvoted, but your hunch is correct:

https://medium.com/@simon.sarris/higher-education-erodes-a7c...

Students aren't leaving high school, nevermind college, with the skills that should be expected of them. A great dumbing down is in effect because we do not want to hurt feelings and want everyone to graduate, move on to the next level, etc.
Throughout college my routine was to go to the gym every weekday at 6 AM before class. In my case, my insomnia is diagnosed as insomnia in the absence of other external factors. Lifestyle choices like proper light exposure, getting consistent exercise, melatonin, not drinking caffeine, not using electronics before bed, etc. don't affect my quality of sleep.
Chances are that if your employer demands you give up your rest time to satisfy some business need they have, they don't care about your well-being at all; and showing them this article won't change their mind. You'd be better off working somewhere else.

I've read a lot about sleep over the years (and wrote a bit [2]), but I just finished reading the book mentioned in the article ("Why We Sleep" [1]) and found it fascinating.

The author presents a vast amount of scientific evidence amount pretty much every corner of why we sleep, from its evolutionary roots thousands of years ago, to the importance of dreams and REM sleep for your memory, reasons and impact of insomnia, to what happens in the neurochemistry in your brain when you drink coffee, alcohol or sleep pills, and much, much more.

If read only one book this year, let me strongly recommend you consider this one.

ps: if you prefer audio, the narrated version from Audible is also very good. There are just a few non-essential graphs, that you can download from their side in PDF.

> people know the rules for maths, and Python's function call notation is the same, so it's familiar and unambiguous to outsiders

Personally I'm really not a fan of relying on operator precedence. Even in that Python example I would write it `(5 - 4) - 1` to disambiguate. I have a few issues:

- Firstly, parsing combinations with varying precedence is something that computers are good at but people not so much, so I see no reason to force readers to juggle this sort of stuff.

- Second, mathematical precedence rules are overly complicated. Trying to support them can make a language overly complicated. Languages like Smalltalk prefer to remain simple, even if that "breaks" standard mathematical expressions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smalltalk#Expressions

- Finally, arithmetic is a tiny part of a programming language. There's no "standard" way to extend operator precedence to include, say, 3D rendering operations, or parser combinators, or attaching event handlers, etc. All we can do is give each operator a number, at which point we're just exacerbating the "humans aren't good at precedence tables" problem.

This has also been discussed elsewhere, e.g. at http://wiki.c2.com/?OperatorPrecedenceConsideredHarmful

PS: I prefer the `f a b c` function call syntax to `f(a, b, c)`, but prefer s-expressions to both. Scheme is really nice, but I don't want to live without currying and laziness by default. I have high hopes for https://lexi-lambda.github.io/hackett :)
