For those that assume that was just a joke on escalating size, the joke was actually made it a real thing by Netflix when they actually named the component that randomly shuts down not just services, but entire AWS availability zones of Netflix services.

I would love to see data on the age they decided to master a given field. For instance if you decide to master programming (w.e that means) and it takes roughly 10 years to achieve mastery then you should expect a great accomplishment 10 years after you've started diving deep in a field.

My assumption that it's rarer for those who are older is probably due to the fact that they have to worry about making a living and there aren't as many resources where you can engage with your peers outside of university, and also the fact that as a kid, making mistakes is not frowned upon but merely a process of discovery, whereas when you're older there is a lot of negative emotions associated with failure.
I met a bunch of people here in Stellenbosch, South Africa at a startup called Gourmet Grubb. Their first product is an ice-cream made from insect milk, trademarked EntoMilk - no kidding! Fascinating stuff, check them out here: https://gourmetgrubb.com/
I recently bought a Sony 900F. Great TV, but I’m not connecting it to the internet and the Android “smart” portion may as well not exist. There’s no reason to use it when the Apple TV 4K, PS4, etc all do the smart bits better.

I too would pay a sizable premium for a high quality mid-high tier dumb TV just to never have to worry about the associated privacy implications. I’d guess most folks who have any kind of serious media center setups would also agree. Perhaps it’s time for a few boutique TV companies to enter the scene?
Can you tell me more about downward-spiraling, and how this relates to the guidelines?

The guy in the article seems to be implying that pedestrians don't have the right to be in the road. I think it's pretty OK to be dismissive of that.

Students are being taught to put questionable things in - that are easy to excise. They get challenged, remove the red herring, and are approved since the "offended party" feels appeased.

I've heard similar stories with regards to censors. I've also seen it at work with release reviews. Pointy-haired management was given something obvious to correct, to keep them from thinking of something out of left field.
Flash games weren't using standard HTML technology. They were basically running in a cross platform VM that worked horribly on mobile. Adobe claimed back in 2007 that they could get Flash working well on the original iPhone if Apple would have allowed it. The original iPhone had a 400Mhz processor and 128MB of RAM. When Adobe finally brought Flash to Android it required a 1Ghz processor and I believe 512MB - 1GB RAM. That didn't become standard on the iPhone until the iPhone 5 in 2011.

Besides, what was the monetization strategy? People weren't going to give their credit card information out to dozens of websites.
The App Settings xposed module allows you to change locale (among other settings) per app. I use it to keep Google Maps and Here Maps in Greek while my device locale is English.
Yes, and the breakout by party is disturbing too.[0]

Greens, Regionalists, Pirate, Left and Eurosceptic Populists were strongly against, but only have 120 votes total. Eurosceptic Conservatives and Liberals were mostly against, but only have 124 total. Social Democrats (167) and Far Right (32) split evenly. And Far Right (177) were strongly in favor.

I'm guessing that Eurosceptics are mainly against more EU laws. And that it's largely Social Democrats that have the votes to pass a weaker version.

This actually highlights a really hard problem that (perfect) self driving will need to solve: theory of mind.

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

Not only does the AI need to empathize and predict how typical humans react, they also need to be easy for humans to empathize with. Humans typically use themselves as a template for a reasonable range of reactions. So when the capabilities don't match up (like needing to scoot up to process how to cross where a typical human wouldn't need to), it will violate their expectation of you. So in this case being cautious is considered a crazy and erratic behavior to a human. (e.g., "what were you thinking?! why did you stop!? shouldn't you've seen that the road was empty?!")
Optimum adaptation for weight lifters is 1.3 - 1.8g for each kg of bodyweight. So, a 180lb person that weightlifts should eat ~144g protein. But, you can do better

>Elevated protein consumption, as high as 1.8-2.0 g · kg(-1) · day(-1) depending on the caloric deficit, may be advantageous in preventing lean mass losses during periods of energy restriction to promote fat loss.

The ".8g per pound of bodyweight" rule is pretty solid.

dralley's comment does not do that.

There's nothing difficult here: simply say that those X of N leading C++ programs use SIMD intrinsics, when the corresponding Rust programs do not.

dralley might even say that SIMD intrinsics have been available in Rust nightly for years.

dralley might even say that someone has contributed a Rust program that does use SIMD intrinsics, but that program was slower than other Rust programs:

https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

Perhaps if C++ [or Rust] is providing SIMD intrinsics that is not in-itself a magical silver bullet.

Does it matter? There was a problem, they apologized and corrected it.

FB has been under intense scrutiny for providing a platform for hate speech, so why should we be surprised that they use automated means to decrease the lead time between posting and removal?

That phrase is hate speech, it just happens to be contained within one of the founding documents of the US. While it is a worthwhile goal for the algorithm to understand the context of it - I don't think we're quite there yet, and I would rather have a few false positives than the avalanche of shit that would exist without it.

As to whether a human removed it, I suspect that from the perspective of the person doing it, it's better to err on the side of caution than lose your job; especially a non-US citizen.
As someone who lived in Cambridge a while ago, Barcelona isn't much different in that regard. I have a theory that its all to do with fiat money, and it took 40 or so years for the effects to filer through.

I had the literally the exact same thing happen to me about a month ago. The automated account recovery provided by Gmail was not helping the least bit, and I desperately needed to talk to a human. I ended up creating a Twitter bot to tweet at the Gmail team every 12 hrs or so complaining about how I couldn't recover my account even though I had it for 10+ years, and about three days later, they responded and helped me through a streamlined recovery process that helped reset my password.

You don't need to create a Twitter bot like me, but I would try tweeting at @gmail or @google once a day until they respond. Good luck!
Ideas can’t be shamed or ostracized. Ideas don’t respond to incentives. Ideas can’t engage in debate. Trying to fight ideas is futile without also opposing the people with boots on the ground implementing the ideas.
The Kindle version of Leviathan Wakes pulled this off. They included an entire other book at the end as a teaser for another series. I was somewhat shocked when the actual book ended suddenly around 50% in.

"Fighting Traffic - The Dawn of the Motor Age in the American City" By Peter D. Norton

> Summary

> The fight for the future of the city street between pedestrians, street railways, and promoters of the automobile between 1915 and 1930.

> Before the advent of the automobile, users of city streets were diverse and included children at play and pedestrians at large. By 1930, most streets were primarily a motor thoroughfares where children did not belong and where pedestrians were condemned as “jaywalkers.” In Fighting Traffic, Peter Norton argues that to accommodate automobiles, the American city required not only a physical change but also a social one: before the city could be reconstructed for the sake of motorists, its streets had to be socially reconstructed as places where motorists belonged. It was not an evolution, he writes, but a bloody and sometimes violent revolution. Norton describes how street users struggled to define and redefine what streets were for. He examines developments in the crucial transitional years from the 1910s to the 1930s, uncovering a broad anti-automobile campaign that reviled motorists as “road hogs” or “speed demons” and cars as “juggernauts” or “death cars.” He considers the perspectives of all users—pedestrians, police (who had to become “traffic cops”), street railways, downtown businesses, traffic engineers (who often saw cars as the problem, not the solution), and automobile promoters. He finds that pedestrians and parents campaigned in moral terms, fighting for “justice.” Cities and downtown businesses tried to regulate traffic in the name of “efficiency.” Automotive interest groups, meanwhile, legitimized their claim to the streets by invoking “freedom”—a rhetorical stance of particular power in the United States. Fighting Traffic offers a new look at both the origins of the automotive city in America and how social groups shape technological change.

"Bias and racism is predictable when you choose to abandon Meritocracy based on objective measurable criteria."

Meritocracies aren't purely objective, either. Someone has to come up with the metrics, and someone has to decide whether someone meets those metrics. And not every metric that would be needed would be something that can be easily and objectively quantified.
Think beyond the single issue and realize that making enemies of people has cascading effects that ultimately polarize the nation and close you off to any possibility of modifying your opinions or learning new things.

I think it might be more than just "culture". Bugs, maggots and worms are associated with disease, decay, and death.

I doubt I've learned to jump when I see a spider, or gross out when I find maggots in the garbage can,there's probably a large portion of instinct there.

I just about tolerate eating shrimp mainly because it tastes so darn good. If it would taste so so, I'd pass.

The whole thing seem more related to lobbying so that large corporations can sell even cheaper junk to us as food. I have no doubts that they would scoop up and sell us processed waste directly from the sewer if they got away with it.

Sleep more, memory works better if you sleep longer. Exercise a bit and start working on your mental/physical health.

Downsize your spending, get rid of expensive mobile plans, subscriptions for stuff like Netflix. Get cheaper house/apartment, learn how to cook.

Work on your confidence. Attend local meetups and talk with people. Chill out and stop whining. There plenty of people that would swap places with you. You are a healthy white male with a family living in the US.

Yearly makes much more sense. At the same time, nowhere near enough to make up for the pay cut. I’m non tech, and my peer who was being recruited for US Digital Service would had to take about a 50k pay cut to sub 100k level.
Then do as 'sctb said and post a substantiative, thought-provoking article about it. I'd be happy to discuss the issue there, because it is an important one. Bad shit does happen today, and needs to be discussed.

But the fallout of the bad shit from the past matters too and trying to diminish that here suggests that your motives are not as pure as your representation of them suggests. Which may not be your intention...buuuut...I'd bet that way, Monsieur "Virtue Signal", Señor "They're The Real Supremacists", Mister "Let's Talk About Anybody But Me".

Willing to be wrong, though. Put up.
That's not the issue. The issue is that the objective for these schools is to have a diverse student body, not necessarily the "objectively best students based on the things we decide to measure."
Have any of the major vendors documented this? Otherwise, citation needed.
You don't pay the full cost of the device - at least in the case of Roku devices. Roku is all about making money from advertising - from the home screen where half of it is an ad to the hard coded shortcut buttons on the remote that are sponsored by various streaming providers.

While the AppleTV 4K costs a lot more. Apple made a simple proposition -- I give them money and they give me stuff. They don't make money by selling user data.

Ignoring whether people want to eat it, is insect protein really worth it? According to https://entomologytoday.org/2015/04/15/crickets-are-not-a-fr..., it's about as efficient as chicken. And for insects to produce high-quality protein they need high-quality feed.

I had an insect burger lately, consisting of crickets and mealworms. It was a large amount of critters but with a pathetic amount of protein for a relatively large surface area. It didn't feel as fulfilling as a burger. That's when it made me wonder whether it's really that efficient.

To that I'd add if you buy make sure you are pretty sure you will be in the local market for work for 6-7 years, so even if the mortgage is below 30% and rent is more like 50% if you aren't confident you'll stay put for a while you still shouldn't buy. I think there is an irrational scramble to buy going on now too although I think it is not at the scale that caused the global financial crisis.
that would be true if the unikernel was running alone on bare metal, but the more likely case is that you are deploying multiple unikernels on top of some hypervisor.

in the case of Xen, you will have linux or *bsd in dom0 which will probably have aslr enabled. so, when you launch your unikernel and do aslr you will be randomizing an already random memory layout.

my point of contention is with the hypervisor+unikernel model. once you try to increase the tenant density of a particular piece of hardware with virtualization you lose most of the advantages of removing the os and re-introduce the complexity in a different way.
I'm reading the political slant into the comment upthread I quoted from; not really sure why we're engaged in the tangent of questioning the adequacy of Trident if you acknowledge it's a better deterrent than the present "Special Relationship" (and an expensive one paid from our taxes). The UK's non-operational stockpile means ample capacity to expand upon the currently operational missile stock in the event of a ratcheting up of tensions, and frankly if there's a hostile leader who considers even 8 nuclear missiles to be insufficient deterrent, the UK faces bigger problems than lack of retaliatory capacity.
You're kind of undermining your own point. Many of these are examples where Apple is obsessing over things their customers do care about.

Like it or not, you're not the type of consumer Apple values highly. They need customers like you, but they're only willing to put forth the minimum effort to hang on to you.
Yes, that multiple-step launch experience sometimes present in Steam games is absolute dogshit.

With a Ubisoft game that one owns in Steam, it's possible that clicking it will in-fact launch an entirely different application, uPlay, which is itself a large-scale clone of Steam, and the game is launched from that.

I did a dataviz livestream yesterday where a couple people asked if they should learn d3 for interactive data visualization.

I strongly suggested using plotly instead (either this Python API or the R/ggplot2 API) as it saved a lot of headaches. The native Notebook capabilities are very nice too. (the hard part is extracting the interactive visualization to use elsewhere)
I'm not sure if there are numbers but it seems a lot of people I know have very carb rich diets. It would probably be good for them to switch some of that out for protein.
Probably so it still tastes good.
I could see how people could say that. As someone that loves to explore languages and frameworks. My opinion is if you haven't checked out the new .NET ecosystem it's worth a look/revisit.
Most people don't think about it that way, but you're right. Insects and crustaceans are all arthropods and similar in many ways.

Personally, I always imagined whoever the first person to eat a lobster was must have been very hungry indeed.

That's an incredible achievement. That's more than I've ever weighed. I can't imagine what it would be like to be carrying that much excess weight every day, I'm sure you were physically quite strong. And even mentally stronger for the commitment to lose the weight. Kudos for your transformation!
Some landlords require renter's insurance as part of a lease agreement.
I would be interested to know why anyone would consider it hate speech. Maybe some of the things the founders said or did could be considered that when looking at it through the lens of modern society. But aside from the King of England, who does it inspire hate against?
That's anecdata. I have no idea if it is generally true that trying to make a claim on renter's insurance is inherently suspicious activity. You would need to provide more evidence than one anecdote to support such a broad claim.

I'm pretty anti-insurance. If you can find some means to meet your needs that doesn't involve insurance, I say go with that. But the reality is that insurance is a necessity for many people and makes sense in many cases.

I really wish the US would move to single payer health care for the nation. I think major medical insurance is inherently problematic and I hate that the US handles things that way.

Nonetheless, I'm happy to support the development of good services in the insurance industry, especially in areas outside of major medical coverage.

We shouldn't write off the difficulty of the problem, just because it feels self-evident now. It's much easier to come up with a thought experiment once you have the answer. It's completely intuitive that "0" is a thing, I mean, you can just go "whats 2-2?" but it wasn't always the case. It's very hard to get into a frame of mind that includes only those items the contemporary discoverer would have known.

Agreed. I think radioactive decay is an even better example of a well modeled physical system that defies simulation. A simulation of an ounce of decaying uranium won't tell you which atoms will decay in which order in a physical chunk. Ergo, somethings defy simulation.
They don't publish an API for that, and companies that have created one (like AppAnnie) seem to reserve that info for paying customers, AFAIK.
