Allegedly Windows Update runs on one as well, which is said to be the reason why "update rollups" are needed to keep the system fast (and also the reason why Windows 7 updating has been extremely slow for years).
This is incredibly cool. I feel this would be super useful for teaching children (like my nephew who's 11-years-old) to think about the fourth dimension as a component of the fabric of space instead of time as it's usually understood.
Well of course -- any machine/language is a map from inputs (programs) to outputs, and the pigeon hole principle enforces that if some strings are shortened, others must be lengthened.
I'd be worried about children stepping on used needles or human feces, or being attacked by one of the aggressive, drugged out homeless.
Fun thing about evolution. Suppose you consider every cell division a calculation for evolution (which it is).

A good global average for cells is ~2 hours between cell divisions (because plants, animals, ... are utterly insignificantly small parts of the biosphere, they don't matter at all).

How many cells ? Well one can assume that every spot on earth, on average has ~2 tons per cubic meter of continuous biomass on it. In the oceans this is very uniformly true (and more like 3-4 meters but it decays exponentially as you go down), and on land the topsoil is much the same, but not as deep.

A back of the envelope figure for biodensity is 1.210^8 cells/g. So there would be ~2 tons of biomass per square meter of earth, making 2.410^14 cells per square meter, for 510 million km2. That makes something like 10^30 cells total for the earth, each of which computes on average once every 2h. Or 1.4e26 computations per second (and these are full "does this work ?" simulations, not a single addition).

> A paper published in Science estimated that in 2007 the total global computing power was 6.4×1018 instructions per second.

This means that evolution tries a billion new survival strategies for every assembly instruction any computer worldwide executes.
> Japan has a long history of incorporating culture from elsewhere - both from their Asian neighbours and the West, but when you talk about "homogeneity" in relation to Japan, people tend to think first about ethnicity and race, since they're ~98% ethnically Japanese.

I think its strange that in the West we believe we need to import people on mass to appreciate and incorporate parts of their culture. Here in the UK for example we're often told how great our cuisine is now and how much we're benefiting culturally from immigration, but at this point I wonder how much more we stand to benefit from allowing in a few hundred thousand more people from the middle-east and whether that might actually come with a more significant cultural risk than a gain. For example, London is now the most homophobic part of the UK and Paris is now increasing anti-Semitic, and for what benefit?

I think Japan is just more pragmatic on this issue. They are open to appreciating foreign culture, but they seem to understand importing people from other countries comes with significant risks and consequences.

> I'm not entirely certain can I see the link between "cultural homogeneity" and "economic growth" ... until I realize you're talking about immigration.

I think the point was that the immigration policies of the West have resulted in a lack of culture homogeneity. I don't think people really realise how extreme the cultural divide between immigrants and natives are in the West. The US would have elected Trump in a land slide were there no minorities, and similar is true in the UK with just 25% of minorities voting Conservative in the last election as opposed to 40%+ of Brits.

This is the very real political and cultural cost of immigration that we ignore in the west to keep business happy and GDP growing. For individuals, especially the working class, it has terrible consequences. My working class father now has to compete with cheap foreign labour and I have family members who live council estates in my city where Arabic is main language.

For the record, I'm not alt-right or anti-immigration, I'm a left-leaning Brit from a working class background who has seen the communities I grew up in turn in to far-right Islamic ghettos where my family have been repeatedly mugged and feel unwelcome. The middle-class immigrants I work with are completely different, by product of their success they are the ones who have integrated and are valuable members of society. But I do wish middle-class immigration loving guys would take just a second to see the pain and problems they have caused and working class and my family.
> suspect there are places where you wouldn’t and shouldn’t leave your 5yo alone in the playground a short walk from home.

You have that almost everywhere; sometimes depending, unfortunately, on color of skin or social standing. But I am just surprised because of the size of the US; in the Netherlands, which is miniscule, ‘people in the south’ think Amsterdam and Rotterdam are Sodom and Gomorrah which is mostly not true. I thought it was because it is such a small country that people would have such ideas about cities which are basically less than 2 hours drive from them, but then you see this in massive countries too. The tabloid press seems to do a lot of harm really.

> We should build networked applications that cache content and make network fetches asynchronously to remote APIs so that humans aren’t waiting for data to come back over the wire while they’re working.

I built something like that a year ago and thought that I wouldn't have to bother the user with the sync state. I was wrong. Due to the nature of the mobile connections it happens quite often that for short periods multiple devices aren't synced. Yes I could certainly improve the logic to let this happen less often but in the end the user requires some indication about the sync state (e.g. last successful sync).

So when you build something similar don't hide everything from the user just give him as much freedom as possible to allow him to keep working while the sync happens in the background.

I am by no means an expert, but I have thought about trying to visualise the fourth dimension. The issue is that we don’t really see 3D. While in 2D we can view every pixel simultaneously, when we view in 3D we have the issue of aspect and concealed voxels. You can’t visualise simultaneously all voxels of a cube, as most are under others or otherwise obscured. This therefore limits how much we can use 3D to mimic 4D. Perhaps if we were to spend more time with semitransparent objects our brains could learn to visualise 3D better and then maybe 4D.
This is super interesting. Would buy the book or read the blog.
It's ironic in that by trying to create a safer environment for their kids they're actually creating a more dangerous one.
It's amazing how upset some men get when they don't see themselves in the majority.

Unfortunately, it's not as simple as that (although I wish it were). While you could generate a 3D perspective on each 2D "slice" of a 3D viewport, it wouldn't be that much more different than what's going on in here. The main issue arises from trying to render a 4-polytope in a universe where we ourselves can only sense 3 dimensions "natively."

The history angle is indeed interesting. Neither English nor French is my mother tongue. I started learning English at the age of 3 and learnt French for almost a year at the of 18. It was quite interesting to see the influence French had on English. I later found that almost a third of English words have French origin. Further searching took me all the way back to Norman invasion of England and how the Norman royals were sort of disolved in the English culture. European history never disappoints you. :)

Of course you can, and it would be different from the cross-sections seen in this video. I doubt it would ever become intuitive though, I suspect our brains are hard-wired for a 3d world.

Here's a video of a rotating 4d hypercube in a 3d perspective:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-WyreE9ZkI

It's called a tesseract, and as each face of a 3d cube is a 2d cube (a square), each face of a 4d cube is a normal 3d cube, that we see skewed by the perspective.
I don't necessarily doubt that Fedora 28 is passable day-to-day platform, but I did think it was a little surprising that you mention Skype as your first example of what should be a list of critical apps that bridge the transition.

It came up as a joke in conversation recently, as we waxed nostalgic — yes I'm actually using that phrase — about chat apps from days gone by.

Getting Deep into Ethereum: How Data Is Stored in Ethereum?
What would be the benefits of the 3D VR? There will always be a 2D bottleneck on your eyes' retina. The most important perspective clue I would say is temporal sampling. For dynamical systems, Takens theorem says that a high dimensional topology can be restituted by the sequential sampling of a single variable alone. It seems likely to me that our perception generally works by this principle. That being said, I think we are quite heavily hardwired to 3D perception. I suspect these circuits cannot be wholly overridden.

May I ask you to change the leading text to something more useful for remote workers?

REMOTE doesn't cover but the most basic possibility and 90 matches on this page make it quite cumbersome to find what suits you.

What about deprecating it and requiring posters to use instead:

REMOTE_WORLD - for telecommuting from anywhere in the world

REMOTE_US - for telecommuting from anywhere in the USA

REMOTE_US_TX - for telecommuting from anywhere in Texas, USA

REMOTE_MINUS_6 - for telecommuting from anywhere in the UTC-6 timezone, standard time

REMOTE_PLUS_1 - for telecommuting from anywhere in the UTC+1 timezone, standard time

Example: In the past, I telecommuted to Boston (US-MA) from Barcelona (ES). That job would have been advertised as "REMOTE_MINUS_5, REMOTE_WORLD". In fact I worked 3pm-11pm in ES (i.e. 9am-5pm in US-MA), which was certainly unusual but quite doable nonetheless.

I've stopped playing with OSX86 around 10.5 release because system on my old machine couldn't get permanently audio and graphics out of Realtek HD and ATI Radeon x1600 back then. Kexts were nuked each time after Apple was releasing upgrades and I just didn't wanted to fight with all that stuff. JaS 10.4 release was on the other hand always working perfectly for me.

No idea how the whole project has progressed from that point onward but I wish Apple would release an official OSX as alternative to Windows and Linux but that's obviously not going to happen.

Later on, I've managed to buy eMac with 800 MHz PowerPC 7445 and ATI graphics (10.4.11 was the last version); recently I've got OS9 installed and discovered the resources of macintoshgarden.
you're wrong. I would say.

Yes. there are many ways to do 4d to 3d projections, including perspective projections. You could also make a 3d 'camera' view with 4d lens and 3d projection plane.

I’m Australian and my wife Norwegian.
Norwegians are very very relaxed with their kids, and so are Australians for the most part...

That said my wife, left unchecked, is a helicopter parent... it’s inherited by her mother who is the most anxious person I’ve ever met, my sister in law is also as anxious. So I always have to try and help my wife relax and have less anxiety with our daughter.

One thing is when our daughter falls over... my wife and her side of the family’s reaction is to run over and repeat in Norwegian “you poor thing” or something to it’s like.
Where as my side of the family.. we almost celebrate falling over, we treat it like a positive. “Ohh come on get up” said in a very positive tone. Then we clap our hands and say “yay” when my daughter gets up.

The difference, my daughter almost never cries when she falls over. If she really hurts herself of course we will go to her, I’m not a monster... but other kids could fall over and scream for an hour over the smallest of falls. Why? Because their parents run to them and try to wrap them in cotton wool.

My point with all this, is parenting styles from what I’ve witnessed isn’t really based on nationality.. but more the cultural norms, and how you were brought up.

I have read that the great generation, had a very very hands off parental approach. The boomers had a more hands on approach, and then gen X and gen Y seem for the more part to have a much more hands on approach than their parents.

I’m gen Y, my wife gen X.

I think there’s a lot more factors involved here than just nationality.
They have a considerable presence in India(former British colony) as well. They have 14 centres, all of which are in major cities.

T.b.h. as a young parent with a 4yo daughter, I am kinda affraid to give her more free reign. Currently, I am fine with she doing whatever if
a) I know where she is

b) I know there is at least some obstacle between her and the traffic.

c) if she hurts herself, I would know, and could get to her in 3 minutes

So I am fine with her being inside of a 100x100 m playground mostly unsupervised, as long as I know it is fenced and I have at least some idea where she is.

So my question would be this. Today, I wouldn't let my 4yo kid cross the road without adult supervision. In 15 years she will probably be in college somewhere, having to pay her own rent. How do you handle the progression?

I.e. I remember that from the school when I was 11 years old was a Big Deal™ .. but by the time I was 14, taking bikes with my friend and disappearing for half a day was normal.

>"and must not resort to offending him with crude reproductions" //

It's not about reproductions (which are clearly impossible), but about images and sycophantic replacements.

The imagery thing leads to a specific materialism; the replacement leads to us designing a god to reflect and applaud our ethical failings.

Like turning to porn and eschewing one's duty to one's wife; or choosing an inanimate character as one's wife and imbuing her with a fetish for your own failings "I love your flab, the way you stink of stale beer and sweat really turns me on".

FWIW in Abramic tradition animals are creatures made by God that humans are entrusted to care for, and yes use as food; custodians of creation.
