The catch is, that the patterns have the resolution of the wavelength of light. You cannot take plain black and white film for this, you would need extremely high resolution film material. Agfa actually produced special film for holograms for a while, high contrast and very high resolution, but with a sensitivity like ISO 10. The resolution is far higher than normal LCD screens offer and that would be the main impediment. The math for calculating the interference patterns is almost trivial, but the scale is massive. Doing it in real-time would still require quite high-power setups, as you would have to calculate hundreds of rays per "pixel".

It depends on the industry. In some places changing a dependency, no matter how trivial the change, entails a lot of work. Think for example about embedded systems where deploying is a lot harder than pushing a Docker image somewhere. It is often far cheaper to analyze whether the fixed bug can be triggered to avoid upgrading unless necessary.
When we first brought my daughter home from the hospital we let our old pug smell her. He growled once when she first cried, then tilted his head from the sound.

Later we put her in her first bath - she shrieked! We did this in the middle of our living room in a small plastic tub on the floor. We were sitting on the floor; I sat on my knees. He (Cyrano) sat with us and while she shrieked, he placed one of his paws on one of my legs. He’d never done anything like that in his entire life. It looked so... human. It was so strange a family member took a picture of the event.

I miss that old boy. He was a good dog.
Very interesting; I presume there is a way to determine the concentration of salts that "great many" represents. Would be interesting to compare with known halotolerant lifeforms' salt tolerance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halotolerance).
> They know french fries are bad, but think it's because they are deep fried. When I tell them that a regular baked potato or red potatoes have glycemic index values of around 85-89 and that potato ships are around 50-55 they are stunned.

Having T1D and a CGM I can say the normal potatoes are much easier to control compared to the french fries. The fat is really a huge problem if you dose your own insulin. It is guaranteed if I eat french fries that I don't need that much insulin right now, but the fatty food will raise my glucose levels in the next five hours. If I eat the fries for dinner, I can guarantee to be in the upper high levels at night when I sleep.

This is of course fixed with a closed loop system, but that doesn't help the T2Ds out there that much.
That’s true. But there is still a tipping point. With even a 10% market share (making up a number just to make a point) of a market as large as the mobile market and iPhone users being more affluent, it makes sense not to ignore iOS users. On the other hand, MacOS could be around 10% of the much smaller PC market and if you had a limited budget, you could safely ignore the Mac market - even though Mac users are more affluent.

End of the day/week? I assume they'll be detained and watched like a hawk the whole time? There's all sorts of ways to record information that persists even when our memory has been wiped clean. Just take Memento, for example, where the guy tattooed his body with information he kept forgetting, but they don't even need to do that. Pen and paper, talking into a phone, telling a friend the instant you leave, wearing a wire, all sorts of ways to bypass a forgetful pill.
This is terrific! Thanks for sharing. fzf is a wonderful piece of software.
I might just be matter of being "skinny fat" - someone is an average weight, but because they opt completely out of physical activity, they have basically no muscle mass, and the majority of their structure is composed of fat tissue.

Mars lost its atmosphere on a geological time scale. You just need to raise the average temperature 5C to create a runaway greenhouse effect (and that gas release from the polar regions would far outpace the solar winds stripping atmosphere away and once it leveled off would take millions of years to get back to the state it is in now).

The very thin atmosphere it has now, will take another 2 billion years or so to be stripped away entirely.
Camping on Cumberland is a great way to enjoy the island:

An important point that I made above is that the time to do something about these issues was in the early 2000s. At this point the issue has been ignored for so long that people have lost all trust in the current establishment. They assume any promises from the current establishment are BS to get them to vote and will be forgotten right after the election.

If your house has been on fire forever and is burned down to cinders and the fire department finally shows up you're not going to thank them. You're going to yell at them and tear them a new one. You're probably so mad that you're going to tear the hose out of the hydrant and scream "let it f'ing burn you !#$!#$!#"

The house has been on fire since the mid-1970s. The roof collapsed in 2008.

I think it might aid understanding to look only at the Republican primary. Jeb Bush was the favorite, and Trump destroyed him. Jeb like Hillary was seen as establishment, a relative of two former presidents who also had an opportunity to put out the fire but did nothing.

Hillary Clinton is a part of the establishment. Her husband is a former president who presided over a booming decade when these problems could have been fixed but weren't.

Trump rightly or wrongly was perceived as being an outsider hostile to that establishment. Personally I see him as an opportunistic con man who saw a chance and took it, but it doesn't matter. The chance was there to be taken.

Edit: continuing with the fire metaphor: the roof collapsed in 2008 at the tail end of the Bush II administration. Obama sort of noticed and walked up and peed on it. The pee sizzled and steamed for a second and the flames shot higher.
Sure it does, on the Black Sea.
I certainly wasn't advocating for any sovereignty of the people outside of or above Parliament. The point is that Parliamentary elections and Parliamentary votes have aligned with the pro-Brexit result of the referendum.

Parliament voted to trigger article 50, and subsequent elections (still very recent) resulted in a pro-Brexit government.

The only democratic way now for Parliament to overturn the democratic decision on Brexit would be for a party to run on an anti-Brexit platform and win the next elections, then take a vote to reverse course. But, to repeat, there just were elections, this didn't happen, and nothing fundamentally new has happened since the elections that would lead to any change if elections were held again now.

I have a dumb question. Can diabetes actually be "fixed" with a keto diet? What if a T2 diabetic does carb restriction and keto for a year and "reverses" their diabetes. If they eat cakes and cookies for a week at Christmas, does the T2D come crashing back?
I missed that point. Thanks
I've done numerous stints with keto and think some of the criticisms are valid, particularly in the first phase when you're often advised to stick below 20-25 net cards a day. That's nearly impossible to do unless you are eating predominantly meat, cheese, and eggs. There isn't much balance there. If you're eating vegetables w/ every meal, you can easily jump over 20 net carbs and I find that restriction absurd. You have to do a fair amount of supplements to get the vitamins and fiber you should be eating. However, in general, it works extremely well for me in cutting weight and eating better.

I think something in the range of 30-50 net carbs per day is far more realistic to keep balance in your diet. At some point, the benefits come more from having a quality diet, full of vegetables and balanced protein, free of added sugars and grains, rather than actually being in ketosis.
Can you also point me to a diagram of your consciousness.

The same article the GGP linked to explains why wages haven’t grown as quickly:

Economists believe that the unemployment rate can dip even further because there's still slack in the job market.

Productivity and inflation are lower than in previous periods of growth, and economists believe that has kept a lid on wages. The erosion of workers' bargaining power has also played a role.
Another explanation: Employers are turning to new workers — such as younger people and those just re-entering the job market — to fill positions vacated by better-paid veteran workers who are either retiring or taking new positions elsewhere.
Economists are confident that wages will keep climbing as competition for workers grows.
Dozens of companies have already announced pay hikes and more attractive benefits to lure workers. On Thursday, Costco said it would raise starting wages for US employees by $1, to a minimum of $14 an hour.

What do you find unsatisfactory about these explanations?

> But the combination means that there's a problem, because in a free market you would expect the opposite: in times of low unemployment, companies would need to increase wages to attract employees. That this is not happening is a blow against...

It sounds like you’re setting up a strawman and attacking it. See above.

> because the labor market doesn't behave like a free market.

No one believes the labor market is or behaves like a free market. Again, this is a strawman.
I love the passive nature of your workflow. I’ve always thought that, as soon as I had consumed (read, viewed, heard) some content (text, audio, video) it would be nice to have a “shadow copy” of it stored in a personal, private knowledgebase, with a simple keyword or more complex semantic search on top.

Basically, a personal search engine with a passively gathered corpus of my experienced content - maybe even filtered at times as in your case where you limited it to academic PDFs (to keep the knowledgebase focused). Kind of like an extension of our human memory.

Consume -> add as extension of knowledgebase -> recall.

Thank you for sharing your workflow - simple and ingenious!

Have you had any issues or thoughts for future enhancements? I can think of a number of other helpful things you could do with the corpus you’ve built, for yourself.
Interesting reading, I share some of the points in the post, however, one more dependency manager?

Mostly I've used plain `python -m venv venv` and it always worked well. A downside - you need to add a few bash scripts to automate typical workflow for your teammates.

Pipenv sounds great but there are some pitfalls as well.
I've been going through this post recently and got a bit upset about Pipenv:
https://chriswarrick.com/blog/2018/07/17/pipenv-promises-a-l...

Another point is that it does not work well with PyCharm and does not allow to put all dependencies into the project folder as I used to do with venv. (just like to keep everything in one folder to clean up it easily)

Are there any better practices to make life easier?
No, you also need an ancient alien race to have created a reactor that can free the air which can be activated after pressing the button at the top of the elevator platform, but only if you can get past Cohaagen's goons, perhaps using holographic trickery.

Hi, thank you for the feedback.

For the moment, it stands between logrus and zerolog/zap in term of speed/allocation.

For a message with 10 fields, zerolog does 6 allocs, astroflow 13 and logrus 54, but the UX is far better than zerolog (IMO).

OTH there is no cost (only 1 if comparison) if the level is not enabled.

In a near future the same mechanism as in zeolog will be implemented which enable to reduce allocations in tradeoff of writing more verbose code.
Seconding keto. As someone working in IT with a job keeping me sedentary for a third of each day, ketosis has been the easiest diet I've ever tried.

I have been working out a little bit (cycling) for better cardiovascular health, but not so much as for it to be the primary way to lose weight.

Minimising carbohydrates has been far less of a challenge than expected - rice, chips, crisps, pasta, bread are all things I adore, yet being able to fill up with vegetables and fatty meat has been plenty satisfying.

For me, it's the first diet that has worked well in a long time, and easily too.

The Japanese emperor picks a regnal name when he takes the throne, just like the Pope.

The name is actually the name of the emperor, not the name of the era. In Japan, nobody uses the emperor's birth name; they just use the regnal name. For example, nobody in Japan says "Hirohito"; they refer to him as "Emperor Showa" instead (though nobody calls Akihito "Emperor Heisei" now, because it's considered rude to refer to the living emperor by name... he's just "His Majesty, the Emperor").

Note that this wasn't the case until the 19th century. Until Emperor Meiji (Mutsuhito) took the throne in 1867, the name of the emperor and the name of the era were completely decoupled, and the emperor would just arbitrarily start eras whenever he felt like it. Meiji changed all this and standardized Japan on a one-emperor, one-era system. And in 1979 (!), it actually became law.
Reads like an ad to me. I was diagnosed with T2D last November (Tuesday before Thanksgiving...bummer). At the time of my diagnosis I was certainly not obese and have lost weight since as I have become aware of sugar/carb intake whereas before I didn't pay any notice. My situation is due to genetics which may be outside the scope of the article, but there is no mention of that fact.

I came in with high hopes reading this but lost interest at "To date, the only clinically proven way to reverse T2D has been bariatric surgery". Nope.
Nope, I much prefer a world in which business majors are slaves to their feline overlords.

The point is, if you're able to manipulate someone else's network traffic, you will be able to modify their DNS traffic as well, and HTTPS won't help with that - you can do all these things you listed and worse.

That's why I cringe whenever I hear the mass propaganda that "HTTPS is secure". It encrypts traffic between the two endpoints, that's it.

The cops sweeping crime under the rug was definitely a thing growing up where I did, and the local paper was complicit as well.

I think one of the real differences between a strictly-tourist town and the island I grew up on was that it also served as an upscale retirement destination for Snowbird types such that it has its own thriving economy and year-round population (in the 30,000 - 40,000 range) so it wasn't strictly dependent on tourism.

The surrounding area has also grown and developed into its own area since. Rather interesting to watch the sort-of bootstrapping of the surrounding sleepy town into a thriving area over the years.

7 Problems with Hybrid Mobile Development and How NativeScript Solves Them
Replace Your iPhone X: The Suica Problem Is Everybody’s NFC Problem
Counterpoint from someone who actually does own an iPhone after being on Android for years (and I only have an iPhone now because I dropped my Pixel 2, and Fi is taking a long time to send an replacement) -- no, it isn't unparalleled.

The long press/longer press mechanism for removing/moving applications is incredibly unintuitive, and there's no reliable mechanism to figure out which apps do and don't support this.

Swathes of bluetooth problems on an iPhone 8 (and previously, an iPhone 7). If you have airpods, this is probably fine, but they're not appropriate for the gym work I do. It's unacceptable to need to turn bluetooth on the phone off/on in order for the phone to actually pipe audio to a connected bluetooth device.

My iPhone 7 overheated while sitting on my desk and bootlooped. Apple's response? "Time to buy an iPhone 8"

The well-known performance degradation on older batteries to force people onto the upgrade treadmill, because the iPhone 7/8 are not fundamentally different from the 5S/6 in any way, and users weren't upgrading fast enough. There's no other explanation for Apple's behavior.

The "back" button hidden in the upper left corner (assuming the application supports it) don't close tabs in either Safari or Chrome. If you're reading Github pull request from your email and press back, the tab stays. Then you open Chrome and there are 50 tabs open for no reason.

Buying Kindle books is a 4 step process because Apple doesn't allow Amazon to sell products because :reasons:

Digging through 5 different alerting frameworks to get IRC messages forwarded which actually notify, since Pushbullet, Prowl, and friends have apparently not worked correctly after some API changes in IO9 or 10.

If you're heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem, all of this is probably fine. But if you're not, it's death by 1000 cuts, and it's not even a little bit of an intuitive or even good user experience.

My honest opinion is that it's Stockholm syndrome. Android has warts. iOS definitely has warts. Neither is perfect. But I'm tired of seeing people trot out how great the user experience on iOS is.

I'm frankly SHOCKED by the amount of people I encounter on a daily basis -- even my own damn significant other -- who have no idea what a carbohydrate even is. I love my SO to death, but I was appalled he had no idea grains and potatoes were carbs, and he is very well educated and works in tech.

Before diving into into policy details, you need to consider the bigger picture. Hillary was promising, generally speaking, third term of Obama.

He actually endorsed her, and there was little disagreement between the two.

If people were unhappy about two Obama terms (and it seems they were, in large enough numbers), it was a losing proposition from the start, and details about prescription drugs and tax cuts for small businesses just didn't mattered.
