On NAS bottlings: My girlfriend is in the Scotch whisky industry and tells me that among some circles, Compass Box's "transparency campaign" has been gaining some supporters.

Occasionally, (apparently) you'll find a NAS is actually comprised 80% of some 18 year old or 25 year old stuff but the master blender has added some 5 year old (say) not because of shortage but because it improves flavour. Of course then you need to sell that either as a 5 year old blended whisky or not mention its age at all. Frustrating for marketers and consumers alike, because one person can't say what they are selling other than the promise of high quality, and the other side has no real idea what they are buying (because the marketing would claim high quality regardless).

A few years back Compass Box, finding themselves in this situation, published the full recipe for one of their blends online (not even on the packaging) and this was found to be in contravention of EU regulations. They launched a campaign to have this rule relaxed in the case where full recipes are posted.

Another side to it is that the current rules might be considered by some to give an unfair advantage to your massive conglomerates i.e. Diageo and Pernod-Ricard who have massive purchasing power over the "old stuff".

I see both sides of the argument: on the one hand it's hard to feel like people are misled by a full and accurate recipe being posted. But maybe it carries with it that because your blend is comprised <qualitatively high number>% 18 year old then your average consumer might decide it is of comparable quality to a straight 18 year old even if you've mixed in some paint thinner.

My take is that Compass Box's particular situation is different than that of the distillers as they blend off the shelf whisky. They would be saying "we blended 18 year old Glenlivet with 12 year old macallan" as opposed to "we took some of an 18 year old cask and some of a 12 year old cask" - I think it's less clear that the latter is a recipe than the former.

(All this isn't to say lack of stock isn't a problem - it is and it is the main reason for NAS - just not always the only reason.)

To me what really matters is not how many hours of sleep I get but how difficult it is for me to wake up. I've found that there is a direct relation between this and my happiness.

In periods where I am very productive, I have a reason to wake up, I know what I want and need to do. Then I'm very happy, life has a purpose. It doesn't matter how many hours I sleep.

In the other hand, when I amb lost and don't know what I should be doing that day, I have a very hard time waking up.

Jenkins Essentials sounds great. I've become very good at not breaking Jenkins installations. Jenkins is a powerful tool, but it's hard to recommend when that's a skill you must acquire.

I remember when I installed the git plugin, which forced the credentials plugin to update, which caused runtime failures in communication with some other core plugin, so we reverted the install/update, which broke the whole system because the update had renamed fields in the configuration and the old version didn't understand them...

Since then, I have always updated all core plugins together in lockstep. Based on the name and description, that sounds like what Jenkins Essentials would do too. If so, that's a good sign.

Simpler, more reliable administration is exactly what Jenkins needs and you seem to have a credible way of achieving it, so I'm excited to see the results.
I can attest to this working quite well.

On a related note: In Mediterranean countries there is often the tradition of sleeping "siesta", a short nap in the afternoon. Seems to have some use.
Not just raw sensory inputs are different, the probability distributions behind those inputs are all different.

Consider sugars in food. Our taste buds, and instincts behind them, are totally not handling the amount of signals modern processed foods send. What used to be a proxy for quality is now usually a good proxy for lack of it.

Consider availability heuristic. In the ancient past, all events you've learned about from someone else were involving your local community. The frequency of those "news" were related to how important those events are to you personally. Today, it's the inverse - the more something is in the news, the more it's utterly irrelevant to you personally. The real dangers don't have novelty factor, so they aren't talked about. The result is people afraid of terrorists - with all the disastrous consequences when that fear is expressed as public policy - instead of car accidents. The result is FOMO. The result is people feeling inadequate because world's top 1% of celebrities is more familiar to them than their neighbours, so they've lost the perception of actual distribution of wealth and beauty in a population.
Say at least something useful and new that most people in the audience do not know already. If this is not the case, better to rethink the talk from scratch. Audience should go aways thinking "I learned a few new things".

Copyright is as anti-capitalism as it gets. Copyright in its actual expression is part of corporativism. "Corporatism is the organization of a society by corporate groups and agricultural, labour, military or scientific syndicates and guilds on the basis of their common interests."

Copyright was extended to benefit a special interest group. It has nothing to do with improving market efficiency. If any, it damages market efficiency introducing an artificial monopoly enforced by the state.

Of course the latter, as in the past couple hundred years we've transcended biological evolution - with writing, printing, and now instant communication, we've created an environment that's fundamentally different (and changing, ever faster) than what humans have experienced before. In the timescale of recent developments, all those "highly-evolved instincts" are static.

Any link you'd suggest for a starter in UI who wants to start with React JS and has worked always in backend (PHP / DB / OS stuff when developing)?

While it implicitely hides everything on the first call, it unveils the arguments. Reads really natural. I imagine typical usage would be:

unveil("/etc/some_config_file", "r");

exec();

The trick is to just go to bed when you are really tired. The first few days you will tired on the morning because of that, but at some point it switches and you are actually tired on a "normal" sleeping time in the evening.

You don't have to help people get from A-Z. Quite often they don't even know where to start so going from A-D is enough. Know your audience in advance though.

Remember to pause and speak slower. It gives the impression you are really considering what you are about to say next and allows you a break.

Don't drink alcohol before the talk (unless you need a shot to calm your nerves) and do have a bottle of water available as your mouth will most likely become dry.

Lastly relax. The audience is unlikely to call you out unless you make a total hash of it and they usually want you to succeed.
This is not really accurate. The vast majority of movie/media conglomerates are massive and certainly "hellbent on domination" to borrow your phrasing. Some examples:

- Time Warner owns Warner Bros Pictures, DC Films, New Line Cinema, CNN, etc, etc.

- Comcast owns Universal Pictures, DreamWorks, Working Title Films, NBC, etc, etc.

Disney is actually behind Comcast in revenue. And of course Disney also got in on the whole 'buy a news company' agenda - they own ABC. This practice of these mega corporations merging and acquiring ever larger shares of the entire media (and news) industry is a large part of the reason that they are in the state that they are.

- List of Time Warner Assets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assets_owned_by_Warner...

- List of Comcast Assets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assets_owned_by_Comcas...

- List of Disney Assets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assets_owned_by_Disney

Those lists should not be viewed as all encompassing.
Best advice I had about giving talks (from a non-techie) was 'tell a story'. People like stories more than information. If they want information they can mine you for it afterwards.
Which makes it that much harder to extend.

There's nothing wrong with the use of strings here. It's very readable, easily understandable to anyone who knows C, can be checked by automated tools (or at runtime) for invalid values, and is easily extensible in the future. It's also not on a hot path (I mean, you shouldn't have to do this at any point other than process creation).
Yes. Also without any immediate directions.

> My point is that this is a cycle. It happens again and again, but as most people only have a 50–100 year historical perspective they don’t see that it’s happening again.

This is what Timothy Snyder calls "politics of eternity". There is no progress, history repeats itself, no point trying to change anything.

It's the natural counterpart to "politics of inevitability".

At first we believe progress happens by itself, and is inevitable. We don't need to do anything. Democracy, rule of law, personal liberties, human rights are just better than any alternative, so they will win automatically. Time is a line that might move left or right but mostly it moves up, towards better situation for everyone. "End of history" basically.

When this doesn't happen the natural reaction is to move to politics of eternity - nothing really changes, history is a huge circle that happens over and over and we have no way to change what happens, so there's no point trying.

Reality is - it's neither constant progress nor a cycle. It's chaotic, and we have (small) influence over what happens. But it's very useful for people with power that we think we don't.

I'm Polish. I remember (barely) communism, and what most people in the west don't get is how Russian propaganda works. It's not that everybody believed that USSR and communism is the best. Almost nobody believed that in 80s, and literally nobody believed that near 1989.

The propaganda was focused on making cynics out of people. Yeah maybe we have it bad, but they are full of bullshit too. Their liberties and human rights are just a facade, like here. These people protesting are all paid or spies. Free press is an oxymoron, press is always paid by someone. Just ignore all the news, you won't know what's true anyway. Why not choose the press paid by your own country over press paid by enemies?

"Everybody lies" is much easier thing to believe than "we are great and only tell the truth and they lie", and once enough people believe in it - change is impossible, because all protests and movements are distrusted, and people are lazy and prefer not to do anything when it's not clear who is right.

> Fear of another World War nearly stopped World War 2, but didn’t.

Fear of another war CAUSED WW2. Appeasement was why Hitler could get as far as he did.
Thanks for the answer. But couldn't you test it by setting up two very similar websites (not identical because you'd presumably get penalized for duplicating content), in which one uses Google Analytics and the other doesn't, and then watch the ranking over time. If the analytics site does significantly better than the other, that would strongly indicate that Google gives it preference.
Sadly a lot of supermarket bread is made using the Chorleywood process https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorleywood_bread_process

Smaller bakeries will have a wider range of bread types and in my area the local shop will sell polish style rye breads and Caribbean breads (usually sweeter and denser)

The dark bread you have in your picture is available in London but can be a bit tricky to find (I would expect larger supermarkets to stock it)

It's also not too difficult to get middle eastern flat breads with a little bit of searching.

In my experience, one of the most important things is to keep your audience in mind. I recently gave a talk about how docker works internally. I knew that a good chunk of the audience was aware of the difference between docker and a VM, so in the beginning, I explained these differences via a more or less fun story. People who already knew the content were not annoyed, the rest got the information they needed.

Another thing is, tech talks tend to be as dry as the Sahara desert. So try to make your talk interesting. Do not just focus on getting the information across, but make it fun to listen.

Practice your talk without slides. This has two benefits: You concentrate on the content, so your stuff by heart at the end. And you don't depend on the slides, in case something goes wrong.

Lastly, prepare for 4:3 - even if they say you get a 16:9 beamer, chances are it's not. And prepare for offline, your Laptop being broken and in case you are doing a live demo: Have a video of it as a backup.

These tips are all just from my experience and may not apply to you, but maybe it's helpful. :)
As a dad of two (3yr and 1yr), the simple answer is - it depends. One kid might sleep like a rock with little to no sleep training, and the other will not sleep for 2 years, no matter what you do.

After talking to a lot of dads (and I talk to A LOT of them - RadDadShow.com), the general consensus is that first year is going to be hell no matter what.

First they are little creatures who don't understand sleep, and they eat and sleep and poop on a 24h non-stop cycle. Then they become aware of sleep and start fighting it. Then they become even more aware and decide to read books and have lunch at 3am... it goes on.

In our case, couple things helped the most: no screens, no salt and sugar, and early bed time. This way, when your kids aren't hyped up and go to bed before they are fully exhausted, sleep becomes easier to manage.

Happy to answer some questions. Hope the above helps. Good luck, and as my friend Greg Gottesman said, if you consider a long-term horizon, it's completely worth it!

Hilarious how Google thinks they are now in editorial control of your content to the point where you are on the hook for fixing their bugs. You're being treated as a wayward content provider, rather than that they should be happy to get the benefit of your content to index.
When practicing and figuring timing, I find it helps to do it out loud. I go way too fast if I don’t properly vocalise it.
It's just sad that when artists get asked about how humans will be in 100 years, they talk about physical appearance.

They do not talk about the state of the world, the culture, the state of the planet, how people are feeling etc.

Yes we will have amazing tech in 100 years but if we are still on ape level emotionally, we will have horrible societies where people are very unhappy and will want to escape the real world as much as possible.

Can not recommend Flask enough, just for sheer simplicity. Really puts the fun back into making a web app and getting that MVP deployed.

Flask's eco-system is great, but not as extensive as Django's IMO. And Flask itself is definitely more bare-bones, which means there's less crud, but sometimes that crud comes in handy.

Flask and Django share quite a few similarities though. So worst case if you find yourself wanting things from Django's eco-system, you can go from Flask to Django without too much hassle (relatively speaking). Don't know why you would, or expect you will, but nice to know it wouldn't require a full re-write.
Taiwan (or Republic of China) had chance to be separated from China before People's Republic of China took the China seat in UN. The government refused to change to Taiwan because both the government and people consider ROC as the China. Of course opinion and education changed especially young people's opinion, but legally Taiwan is still Republic of China unless they change their constitution. And their constitution claims whole China and Mongolia as their land. China of course, legally required to see Palau as illegal in order not to lose claim on Taiwan. At least it is not putting sanction to every country and company does business with Taiwan. There is nothing wrong with it. Similar to Cuba and Iran with US.

Build systems can use such feature, without going through heavy duty isolation (sandboxing) like Bazel.

It's done there, such that "accidental" dependencies are not followed, e.g. if your a.cpp source included b.h it better be that the rule compiling a.cpp explicitly stated that is dependent on a rule "exporting" b.h

And possibly for other uses too :)

I've seen injuries in public in other countries big cities too, and I've just kept moving because someone else is helping. The way people act in China is something else.

Giving any consideration to strangers doesn't even cross their minds and it shows in all kinds of little ways: refusal to yield any space, be it a lane on the road or part of an aisle in a store, public spitting, urination, and yes, defecation, refusal to queue or allow people to exit trains, elevators, or other vehicles before pushing in. Also, strangely, it's not the young punk kids annoying their neighbours with their load music, it's hordes of middle aged dancing aunties.
