3blue1brown is awesome, some videos are extremely interesting and useful but others are too specific imho, like, I love his videos explaining general concepts about algebra, analytics, machine learning, quantum mechanics and blockchain, but not really his videos about a particular obscure mathematical problem, especially if the same obscure thing recurs multiple times (say, something involving pi and lighthouses).

But glad to hear there won't be "b r i l l i a n t . o r g" (made hard to copypaste on purpose since I've no interest in encouraging them due to spamming too many of videos I watch) interruptions in the videos anymore

I think 3blue1brown's formula is amazing for laying the fundamentals of advanced mathematics. But it's not needed for deep diving into specific topics. And there are more than enough advanced core topics remaining to cover instead.
Here is a PDF link to the research paper (hosted on the website of one of the authors of the study):

I really like this. Ads are things. Tracking is an activity. It's a significant difference to appreciate.

I'm generally okay with a sensible quantity of soundless, videoless ads. I'm never okay with tracking.
What else given by parents ought to be neutralized or otherwise taken away? Work ethic? Polite manners? Good looks? Family connections? Education? Computer skills? Cooking skills? Healthy lifestyle? Dominant presence, at least for sons? Social skills? Athletic ability?

If it’s only money that ought to be “evened out,” what makes it special vis-à-vis these other valuable areas? What is the underlying system of ethics that justifies this intervention?

The Millionaire Next Door devotes an entire chapter to Economic Outpatient Care, that is, continually paying their adult kids’ bills and otherwise bailing them out. For all their skill at building and growing businesses, American millionaires do not seem to be any good at passing these skills on to their children. What that means is through the natural course of things, millionaires’ kids tend to squander their gifted status without outside help from egalitarians.

What did you try and when, why does It not not technically work? I haven't tried myself, but i've seen a few little videos of people synthesising and running little things on the ice40 using all open source toolchain. One of them was a little open source CPU. I could understand "technically works but not practical for many things", but not work at all?
Haven't we reached the point in AI when it would be realistic to assume that a robot could identify a human? If so perhaps we need a law to force manufacturers to comply.

I'll bite.. I'm actually not at all experienced with supercomputers or HPC clusters, only 1990s proprietary MPP systems, what has been termed "grid computing" [1], and currently-popular systems like Hadoop.

In what way is this novel?

So, since we have them and they're not going away, we should invent a meaning for them. Obviously, one of them will have the meaning "ghost character". Other than that, meanings like "mistake that would have been simple to correct if it had been caught quickly, but now it is too late", or "something that slips through the cracks of bureaucracy", or "mistake that does not cause an actual problem, but seems wrong".
So true, it really is amazing that you don't even notice the exercise when combining it with something funny/purposeful.
I was in a milsim game some years ago, in a room at a military training site with my mate, and suddenly we see something thrown inside the room, and we just know that we gotta get out, so we scramble for the door only to get stuck shoulder to shoulder getting shot in the back by a guy in the window.

It's also slightly more powerful.

- It has more functionality when it comes to JSX.

- It handles reactivity better.

However, judging the comments by Evan in Mays webcast. He mentions these two will be resolved by 2.6, 2.6-next.

There is sufficient differentiation in advertising strategies that this can be generally true but also be misleading. You want people who you're targeting to switch from non-spending to spending. So if you've got a new brand of diapers, you're less likely to be targeting Mr. Rich Dude than you are pregnant mum with only minor income category stuff.

That's fairly different from where only people with disposable income get to see things because only they are able to pay for them. If a lower-middle-class recent mother can view a maths video after viewing an ad for a specific brand of diapers (that sets out to get her to switch from a different brand), that's a better outcome than if she can't because she's not a middle- or upper-middle-class person.

I suspect the difference is actually fairly high in practice. Judging by some ad campaigns that are facilitated through our middle-ware, it's not all Maseratis and fancy wines. Quite a bit is for the bottom 80%.

Be very careful. Elderly without children to check in on them are seen as ATM's.

Extract as much money as possible and don't care about the person. Drug them so they don't complain, and schedule as many medical procedures as possible. Use providers that give you kickbacks, and charge very high rates for things like haircuts, or even drug delivery (why buy in advance, when you can deliver, and charge for it, that same day).

All this changes when they have children who check in on them, ideally every day.

> because dying with no cash or credit would suck.

That all depends on if you retained your mental faculties until the end.

If yes, you are going to want lots of cash! You will need to pay someone to do so many things you used to do yourself.

If no, then any remaining cash will rapidly be taken from you anyway, so there's no point in holding on to it.

My advice? Have children and love them. You will be much happier as an elderly person if you do that.
That's really interesting. I found that I loved, similar to the occasional video numberphile does, watching Grant explain how one might realistically solve an interesting problem. A particular favourite is the one on the Inscribed Square Problem, which, although introducing some elements of topology, engages me more from the get go. He poses a problem and my curiosity keeps me engaged until the very end, it feels a bit like a detective story, I get the same satisfaction as some of the better Sherlock Holmes stories where in the course of reading I think "Damn, I could have come to that conclusion if I'd paid a bit more attention!".

FPGAs are very good to learn digital logic design, but dev tools are terrible. They are not open source, binaries may fail to work on any Linux due to failing binary dependencies, closed file formats, inefficiently long synthesis, vendor-specific black-boxed libraries, deprecated interfaces.

Just compare it with Beaglebone or Raspberry Pi dev tools. They are much better for any DIY home-automation or replica projects.
I'm not sure you know what you've bitten off. What does your question even mean? What aspect of "post-modernism" are you hoping to tear down? One assumes you're referring to hopelessly abstruse liberal arts senior theses, and is left to wonder whether you're aware of e.g. postmodern architecture. Deliberate, original works of postmodern literary theory might be incomprehensible, but the ideas of postmodernism --- metafiction, irony, intertextuality --- dominate our culture. Have you never seen or heard a remix?
If other people in the company are using React, use React and reuse the tooling they have.

In any case, though, don't use AngularJS. It's really low-performance compared to anything more modern, and the way it depends on dumping stuff into the DOM and then only doing operations on that afterwards leads to all kinds of really annoying edge cases (for example, certain functionality just plain not working inside <table> tags because only certain DOM elements are allowed there).
Ah this is right, I was thinking of removable media, cdrom/dvd usually do this.
Right, but real apps are such glued "noise". For isolated demos we already have countless todoapps on GH and snippets on StackOverflow or some JS Fiddles.

Then when it comes to integration of a front-end framework in a real app with non trivial but common use case the one has to compare and learn the hard way by scouring forums or diving deep down into source.

E.g. dynamic templates are discouraged in Vue, but customers would like to have a control over couple of loadable HTMLs without npm work - think of most CMS stuff.

My point is that I came to this article with true intrest that the author made a real non-trivial application comparison, thus we could learn subtle gotchas and battlefield tactics. But then I got letdown it's another todoapp to compare basic syntax.

We're not dictating what the user is using for their OS, again as I mentioned, there should always be a pure POSIX fallback. But #ifdefs help to take advantage of what the OS can do if the user decides to do it and we should not take that away from the user either.

Additionally I feel like it should be mentioned that even when POSIX and UNIX was a thing, programs had to include #ifdefs because target platforms wouldn't support X or didn't support Y in the same way as another platform. POSIX may have been designed to help against that but people still had to port their software a lot, with lots of #ifdefs and runtime shims.

The creator of Redux disagrees: https://medium.com/@dan_abramov/you-might-not-need-redux-be4...

Writing vue/react code w/o flux is like putting your entire application code into the view layer of an MVC app.

You can easily create a model that knows nothing about the view without Vuex/Redux.

Hot climates are a huge problem because temperatures easily reach 40c in Africa and the Middle East and that is just ambient temperature you are forgetting the heat produced by the battery itself.

Li-ion doesn’t have this problem as much heck the PANASONIC NCR-18650 can be discharged safely even at 60c.
Then don't split them. If you use powerful methodologies to keep track of complex state in one component, not splitting is generally easier too, although you will lose slightly on performance. No one forces you split a component into multiple ones. I've implemented entire games in just one component with logic cleanly described by a finite state machine.
If you're familiar with AngularJS, Vue would be easier and faster to pick up.

Yeah the word "work" can be confused. What I meant by work was work where you are paid to do something for someone else. Maybe "job" is a better word. I don't have a job and I don't get paid but I do indeed still do a lot of work.
Hi. When I was about 9, I asked my dad to teach me to program, and he started with vim. Yes, it was a bitch to pick up, but I don't think it really detracted from learning and it's still what I use today so it can't have been that traumatizing.

I also have N24 (I am sighted). 0.3mg 2 hours before the bedtime I wanted worked but would cause me to wake up in the middle of the night and sleep very long (about 13 hours). I'm testing 0.3mg 4 hours before bedtime and that's working so far.

The normal instructions for using melatonin as a sleep aid are to take it a short time before going to bed. It appears that at least some N24 sufferers have a different reaction to it and need to be dosed several hours earlier, contrary to the normal instructions.

There is no one thing as "HPC". It is a lot of normal computer components joined together to form a big "HPC" system. First, identify which kind of scaling you need - are you limited by CPU or memory if you run the code on your PC?

On a side note, please don't think about buying HPC hardware before actually write the code. You can build the code to solve real problems on your normal PC with a multi core CPU and GPU. Then you can benckmark your parallel code to determine what you acutally need.

I could help you out if you can give me more details of what you actually want to achieve.

I would argue that all cause mortality decrease isn't the only measure of health. There are people who eat trash, are overweight, and smoke a pack a day that live to be 100. By no means other than fortunate genetics is that person more healthy than a casual athlete who exercises regularly and eats well.

Take blood tests from both individuals and I challenge you to find a doctor who says the former is healthier than the latter. Beyond that, there has to be some observation of the quality of life. Weight training has been shown to increase your resilience to injury and increase balance, two issues that commonly impair the elderly (falling and breaking a hip, for example). Exercise also has been shown to decrease stress, which has been linked to increases in all cause mortality.

While it looks like moving more may help you live a longer life, this article seems to belittle any value from resistance training, which is the exact opposite of what the research has shown we should do.
