I don't know anything about rocks, but it's very hard for me to take this website seriously when their FAQ repeats several times word for word (https://i.imgur.com/B0VojAZ.png):

>If it is not convincing enough: Recent scientific studies using very powerful and modern equipment found the ultimate evidence that the pyramids stones are synthetic. Believing in the artificial stone theory, or countering it, is simply no longer relevant. It has become a fact, a truth.

In my experience, people who use repetition like this are not to be taken very seriously. It's a blunt persuasion tactic employed by the likes of used car salesmen and cult leaders.
That wasn’t my intent, but I’ve also never been on Reddit so wouldn’t know. I didn’t realize that a religious precept from the 6th century was still so hot as to be flaming either.

So you’d never buy a share in a public company either, since public companies are allowed to issue additional shares to new investors when they raise capital.

I don’t see anything wrong with your view. It’s basically an extremely conservative risk tolerance perspective. But it’s extreme, and extreme views tend to leave money on the table.

I think they meant cooking as a life skill. Over a lifetime you'll save more money on eating out, if you know how to cook, than you would on locksmith services, if you know how to pick locks. Unless you're ridiculously careless with your keys and get locked out every week, I guess. Knowing how to cook will also keep you healthier and the value of good health is immeasurable.
I'm not an expert on this, but my understanding is that General Relativity is already taken into account for by the master time source.

I'm not one of the ops guys, but as explained to me, each of our NJ & NY datacenters, our PTP masters are synced to the DC master which is synced to GPS.

We also have processes that monitor if the SIP feed drifts from our time.
Couldn't works known to be written by hypothesis authors be used to train a supervised classifier?
It is unclear from this if the packfiles are actually stored only in the database, it sounds like he is saying they are stored in the file system (and accessed from there for git operations), but there is a copy in the DB too (updated after transactions have committed? Or in the commit but after the local file?). So it sounds like they are keeping repo metadata in tables to speed up queries, manage parallel access, etc. That is sensible, but quite different to keeping every code change as an SQL database entry.
The thing that bothered me about solarized was the lack of contrast with some of its colors. The light blue on dark blue can be painful to read.

As a PM, this article is what I would write as sample press coverage I'd like for a product release.

Interesting to see that the author is a former PR member of http://my.workflow.is/ + has one recent article for TechCrunch.

Oh hey looks they were purchased by Apple: https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/22/apple-has-acquired-workflo...

Quick Edit:
I'm not saying that this isn't good technology, rather I'm more concerned that TechCrunch is taking contributors who have ties to products being reported on and may have interests that are not being communicated to readers.
Ever since I started playing around with game development, I've learned so many important things. It's also extremely rewarding to see and interact with everything you're writing in the form of a game. I'd highly recommend doing this as a hobby.

One thing to start thinking about: Eye tracking is coming with AR. It enables foveated rendering - only the tiny region[1] your fovea is pointing at gets full resolution GPU effort. And AR is, eventually, becoming the new cell phone. But just as cell phones were "oh, btw, now everyone will be wearing a real-time location tracker - just like a handful of criminals and wild animals did previously", AR is "real-time what-are-you-glancing-at/thinking-about-second-by-second tracker". Integrating cell phone capabilities with societal culture, policy, and law, seems to have been largely reactive, and seems to have involved significant societal changes with limited collective reflection. Perhaps we can do better this time, with AR and eye tracking?

I like rounded corners.

Arguably they serve a purpose; easier on the eyes when you have groups of elements.
Sure, I completely believe this. This is not propaganda against the Chinese at all. At all.
> For one thing, The price you pay for health insurance is not the same as it’s cost. The price of insurance is lower than the price of care because people who are healthy buy insurance.

That's the point. It doesn't cost $20,000/person to provide Medicaid because healthy people are eligible for Medicaid. If you take average amount of money and hand it to the same people as cash, it should be the amount needed to buy the equivalent insurance.

But then people have the option to buy only catastrophic coverage and put the rest of money in their pocket, if that's what they want to do, which should on average save money (and in the catastrophe case you still have the catastrophic coverage).

> Moreover, the general point stands: what does UBI do for people who currently receive more $ benefits than what the UBI level would be?

Half the point is to get rid of that sort of thing. Someone who makes $35,000 shouldn't ever be receiving more government assistance than someone who makes $15,000, because they have $20,000 more of their own money to spend on whatever it is.

The purpose of a UBI is income redistribution, not insurance against misfortune. If you want insurance you use your money to buy insurance.
I made the BEST Apple Brown Betty when I was 8 years old.

Though my husband _did_ learn how to cook in Scouts. (It helped that he went through serious wilderness camping trips, so he knew how to do everything from gig a frog to roast a chicken... starting with a live chicken.)
This story got quickly flagged off the front page, and your falsehood laden comment sits at the top. Both are a bit surreal and demonstrate how bizarre partisan everything is.

"There absolutely is controlled research out there on the effects of breastfeeding"

Neither of those studies is remotely as you claimed. One researched how effective breastfeeding advocacy was, and the other on the outcomes of alternatives for children who couldn't be breastfed. The first only controls education, and the other is purely observational.

"A good overview"

Not even remotely a good overview. Someone else looking for justifications.

"This isn't due to formula substitutes (i.e. Abbott laboratories isn't going around killing kids to make money), this is due to improper substitutions"

This is just fundamentally wrong. Just as we exported tobacco when we got wise, formula has become a big export market where the same misleading advocacy presents it as an equal if not superior alternative. Cultures that had no issue breastfeeding started treating it as brutish, moving to worse alternatives.
I'd say that video shows the worst of the dairy industry.

I grew up spending time on a grandparents dairy over school holidays. It was nothing like this video. Yes you do have things like farms putting their arm up cows vigina and bobby calves being separated. But usually it's a clean and non-traumatic process. Things like the mastitis and blood in the milk is unusual.

While I dont doubt there are some highly cruel and unethical operations running, on the dairy farms I used to spend time on those farmers love their animals. That's what these video rarely show, the care and love farmers have for their animals. And 99% of the time that animal is happy and well looked after. But grab clips of the worst farmers at their worst moments and this is what you get.

I don't believe your experience is typical. I've signed dozens of rental agreements in the UK, mostly as a landlord but also as a tenant, and the agreements have been drafted by several different agents.

Not one of these had included a clause about changing locks.

And also the part about "you will get evicted immediately" is nonsense. The process to evict a tenant takes time: the landlord need to serve notice, then wait X days for a response, then apply to the court, who will then (assuming the landlord has followed the law to the letter) issue an judgement, and then the landlord still cannot have you forcibly removed until some period has passed and they have applied to the court for an enforcement order.

If you have had the experience you describe with more than one landlord in the UK, I'd suggest you look through a different agent next time.
Actually, much of the time it comes down to what bugs people report. In a closely related area, IE and Edge both added spread distance rather than subtracting it on inner box-shadows until I reported it last year, then it was fixed in IE within a month: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platfor....

In this particular case, they may have got the best of it because IE didn’t support outline-offset at all, and so when they implemented it they read the spec carefully.

Edge is a continuation of IE. Large swathes of the renderer have been rewritten, but when you do find bugs in Edge they’re commonly shared with IE.
You can, but there aren’t enough to make that big of a difference.

Being a workaholic is not much different from being an alcoholic. These are different forms of addiction. All workaholic societies are destroying themselves due to health complications and declining birthrates. Also, the problems of poverty and absolutely ridiculous wealth distribution patterns seem unsolvable. What more is needed to understand that the economy in its current form does not work in the long term?

I'm curious - what happens to the current set of employees in this situation?

Presumably some of them have vested stock, and it just got zeroed out. If there's ever a good time to ragequit, this seems like the appropriate hour.

The descendants. You answered that in your second paragraph.

This isn't a right. Your just stating a platitude - If a person were extremely allergic to painkillers, a doctor could not prescribe them, even if the patient was in lots of pain.
Improving the fast inverse square root (2010)
I posted this because, of course, of the ongoing rescue operation but more for the helicopter pilot-like checklists to stay safe and stay alive. I understand that recommendation #4, #7, and #8 are practically nil'd in the case of the Thai rescue operation (cold iced coffee-like water and the untrained, not-in-great-health kids).

It reminds me a lot about how methodical planning and preparation can help prepare for a better outcome, especially when problems occur. Particularly, the part of how they practice buddy breathing and hand signal communication before going into the real depths reminds me of the proverbial testing before you are ready to "go live in production" (without life/death consequences, just 'revenue' of course). I won't belabor the metaphor but there is something that can be learned from those who go into some of the riskiest situations that a person can put themselves into precisely by "de-risking" as much as possible. For example, the probability of all three lights failing is a fraction of a percent. In a non-silt situation, having a light fail is equivalent to becoming blind.

If you are like me, this X-Ray Mag site below is a fascinating armchair way to read about the small world of cave divers. I know that the closest I will ever get to cave diving is with a full-immersive VR experience when the great, great grand-children of Oculus arrive. My scuba-loving friends all called it at open water night diving. Even wreck diving was regarded with awe. Cave diving was like being an astronaut.

Also, the accident reports are NTSB-level in their analysis.

https://caves.org/pub/aca/

The "Ten Recommendations for Safe Cafe Diving"

1. Always use a single, continuous guideline from the entrance of the cave throughout the dive.

2. Always use the "third rule" in planning your air supply (this means 1/3 to go to where you want to go, 2/3 to return and for emergencies)

3. Avoid deep diving in caves

4. Avoid panic by building up experience slowly and being prepared for emergencies

5. Always use at least three lights per diver

6. Always carry the safest possible scuba.

7. Avoid stirring up silt.

8. Practice emergency procedures with your partner before going diving, and review them often.

9. Always carry the equipment necessary for handling emergencies, and know how to use it.

10. Never permit overconfidence to allow you to rationalize violating recommended safety procedures.

CSS outlines are still only vaguely defined and tables even less so (I mean, table-layout: auto, which is the initial value, is only now finally getting specified; it's probably the least defined but most relied upon bit of the web platform now). There's definitely still places where undefined behaviour still lives, especially around CSS.

Without actually digging into it (I'm on vacation damnit), I'm pretty sure all renderings are valid per CSS 2.1 (though I don't think they are per CSS UI 3 or 4? but maybe that's still a SHOULD level requirement given people wanting to publish as REC ).

The CSS WG has been pretty poor at actually tightening up specification for old features (on the face of it, due to lack of editorial time, which really points at a separate problem).

(Also, given the for(in) example, as I'm sure you know but for the benefit of others, note that iteration order of each object on the prototype chain is still undefined, and not interoperable.)

Some other good examples of things that have been standardised over the past decade: HTML parsing(!), what specific DOM exceptions are thrown all over the place, when the various document load events fire.
Your code breaks the <center> tag: if you try to nest a <center> inside your <vertical-center> it doesn't work.

And my complaint is that I believe that computing should be accessible to everyone, and that simple things should not be made difficult just so that an elite guild can command above-market wages to fix problems that they themselves created. I don't believe in broken-windows economics.

Any solution for imposing a relatively high barrier to get to the 'smart' functionality of the phone?

I'd like to have texting, camera, phone, maps, and music, with everything else requiring a decent effort to access. That way email and browser and other extra functions are available but inconvenient, so I'll either rethink what I'm doing or use a laptop in the many cases where it's far more appropriate.

It seemed like this should be doable with users, but I haven't seen a good way.

I made a post for this yesterday,but didn't get any good advice, so I'm trying again here.

To be fair the Apple ]I[ (and IIRC, the Lisa) had similar issues. One of those computers had socketed chips mounted upside down, with predictable results . . . and a 3 inch drop wouldn't fix that issue :-/
Huh... the last thing you want is a company that tries to "invent" some nonsense to improve the "cows".

I wouldn't be surprised at all if there's a drawing command that's having a negative number passed to it in a place where it doesn't expect negatives. I wouldn't be too surprised if different backends handled this "undefined behavior" differently.

More probably, it's so that things don't get confusing for the user with symbolic links to directories. If you cd to a symbolic link that leads to a directory, `chdir("..")` goes to the parent of the target, while `cd ..` goes to the parent of the source. In other words, `cd dir/subdir/; cd ..` will always get you back to dir/, but if it used chdir("..") it wouldn't always.
I know people may down vote you, however, a new kind of auction system to slow things down could potentially make the market fairer for all participants. The average guy will probably never be able to compete with the big boys that are collocated in the same data centre as the exchange with full access to the order book.
It's independent of Rails. It simply hooks the all calls to <a href> tags and replaces them with ajax get requests to the url.

It works really nice with Rails because of how easy Rails makes it return a piece of javascript to the page (this is called SJR) so there is some magic included for making form submissions work which is part of the Rails turbolinks gem. The javascript that the server returns to the page essentially calls Turbolinks.visit("/url-form-submission-would-redirect-to-after-completion") so that the expected navigation takes place. It's quite clever. I think you would have to replicate that in the Java world to get the full experience. This SO answer alludes to how you might replicate SJR https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26750738/java-spring-ret...

So I think out of the box you can expect clicking links to work (and that alone provides a great speedup), but ajax form submissions will require some work. If you look at some articles on how form submissions with turbolinks make use of SJR you could likely figure it out and implement it. It's overall not a very complicated mechanism.

I suppose Rails .erb templating engine also has some helpers which the form submission side of turbolinks relies on. Namely it includes a data attribute data-remote and that's the thing turbolinks hooks into to prevent the default behavior of the form submission and and instead fire the ajax request. In theory so long as your forms include that it will work if you have the SJR stuff in place on your back-end.

You could definitely roll full support for it.
the program described here sets the person up with a social worker and mental health treatment is very high on the list of services to offer. But they can't coerce much if anything and some are extremely reluctant to participate in any kind of treatment plan, even out-patient care.
Keep telling Sonos this. I do it at least once a month when I get stuck on a con-call where I'm waiting for others. Go to their site and pop open a chat. Tell them how much you like their products without "assistants", let them know how many of their speakers you own and then let them know that not having options without a microphone mean they will lose your business. Every time I do this they are very courteous and state they will put it in for management to review. Not sure what type of request they issue, or if it's just a patronizing response, but like others I like the product but will not continue to expand my Sonos ecosystem if forced to choose. I don't have a ton of their speakers but a Play 5, Play 3 and 4 x Play 1. Enough to be annoyed that I might not be able to expand that depending on the path they take.
I find it interesting that some people do ask themselves if "literate programming" should require reading a lot of code...but then dismiss it.

Maybe it does. As I think about it, when I was first programming, one of the things that I and other people did in those days was to type programs in from magazines. Another influence on me was taking code in one language or for one system and porting it to another. And I certainly read plenty of code by my co-workers during the years I worked as a programmer.

Maybe reading a great deal is and always has been required to be a decent writer. No idea if Knuth has or does.

I personally turn off all notifications on my iPhone (except for a few select apps) and do not use Siri.

I can tell you that the Siri suggestions in Search really annoyed me (usually use search to find... apps, not to be fed all the crap from random apps).

I want a clean, non-intrusive experience. Apple should focus making the hardware better and to get the software out of the way (don’t make me think about it) instead of pulling all this crap on its users in the name of innovations.
Okay, however, bear in mind that selling to investors a riskier class of equity than is their custom, will likely meet with lower valuations. In business, lower risk = more money, and vice versa.

That thought crossed my mind. I was thinking of trying to get a training set and teaching these models based on previous works by Jay, Madison, and Hamilton. However a lot of what I found for each of them was behind a paywall, or too hard to grep through to actually get the data. For instance all I could find in my (admittedly superficial) digging on John Jay was a book by UVA called "The Selected Papers of John Jay". It costs $90 and contains correspondence both too and from John Jay. It seemed like too much overhead for a weekend project so I just settled on unsupervised.
a big part of the improved Siri integrations is helping group the notifications and give you the option to shut them off. So it really is trying to get the software out of the way if you want
