I've never had a relationship until 25. I had all the bad luck when it comes to genetics and upbringing.

At the time of 25, I just learned to drive and had my first beater 15-year-old car. I made lots of great friends when giving rides to Wal-mart to friends who are fellow international graduate students on that shitty car. I just made up bullshit reasons for me to go to Wal-mart every weekend and asked them if they want to tag along. Many were too shy to bother others, and would totally appreciate someone who would offer them a ride. I sort of became the go-to person when people needed a ride (friendship came with a cost, who would have guessed right?). One day, I was asked to give a student a ride from the airport two hours away because she couldn't ask anyone else to help. We became good friends after the ride I gave her and we developed a great relationship two years after.

There is a lot of stuff like that you can do to help others and maybe help yourself. You can volunteer in a place if you don't know where to begin. When you find yourself to be useful and kind to others, oh strangely, people will see that too.

>less willing to make contact because I always have that thought of what if you are a doing something wrong, you will be accused of something etc.

While some people are a pain in the ass, you will find most to be friendly and understanding when you're genuine. Don't be afraid of stories you read online of judgments and lawsuits. I found myself in a strange situation when I just had nothing to lose and I did many things against the advice to protect myself from being vulnerable and potentially receiving the short end of the stick. I have turned my life around doing just that. While I did indeed occasionally receive the short end of the stick, I have gained so many great friends and stories that totally made it worth it.
Isn't it much higher latency than DDR4?

Perhaps one reason is that those bottles, while completely functional, tend to look pretty rough and worn out after a while, it's obvious that they've been recycled and aren't new.

Is that something a company wants to take a risk on when it comes to the psychology of consumer choice?
Hello Sung. Thank you so much for the kuddos and the tips! I will be doing this soon, just added it to my backlog! :)

FedEx doesn't even allow us to have metal butter knives heh, you know being 'weapons' and all.
how are Xbox or PS different than a PC with a controller ? Even most of the games are available on either platform. It's just an ecosystem and a few exclusives, even the hardware in modern consoles is basically a x86 PC.
> I don't need someone spouting insane conspiracy theories to me

Perhaps, but it may also help that person realize there are normal people in real life who don't share those ideas, despite being told that anyone they disagree with is a horrible person.

What is "format shifting"?
At low zoom levels.

Given the behavior of the poles (they're not viewable; the south is also a black hole…), I suspect that there's a very smoothly done transition to web mercator for the higher zoom levels.
There's a nice virtue to this, also. Build walkable and bike-able places and you're building public spaces to be shared. If you only embrace a car-driven model of development, "public" spaces are to be competed for (e.g. you stole my parking spot, you cut me off, you're in front of me driving too slowly, etc.)
All it took was quantitative easing since 2001 resulting in ownership of 40-50% of the entire japanese bond market (which isn't really a market any more because some days 0 transactions take place due to the complete hijacking of the BOJ & a guaranteed 0% yield) & 5-10% ownership of the entire japanese stock market.

The BOJ is a top holder of many largest Japanese corporations shares outstanding which is kind of weird because the BOJ doesn't really have any money they just "create" it. Color me bearish if that kind of monetary extremism can't even get the Nikkei 225 near prior all time highs or any meaningful inflation. I guess they could buy every bond in existence both public & private plus take the stock holdings up to 30% of the entire float.. maybe that's what is needed? It kind of seems weird to trust any of the statistics on inflation, rates, economic prospects for the country with such an active price insensitive manipulator in the market place every day.
Man I was comfortable running spotify as the only non-free app on my Linux machines, now I'm not.

It's back to ocp and mods/classical music/occasional purchased for me I guess... (except on my phone of course which is a lost cause)
And/or use a smartcard to store your SSH keys. With YubiKey 4 being as cheap as they are, there's little excuses :-)
I mean, of course it does. Most people run their development environments as their own user, and most package management systems have post-install script support.

Installing random software from the internet is problematic.
Privacy, other people putting things in your can, previous tenants and perhaps other flaws exist. That's why I think it best it be automated and take more than one offense.
While loneliness is a real and important problem, there's good reason to be skeptical about it being an "epidemic". The Cigna study is incredibly flawed:

Journalists (like David Brooks in the New York Times) are getting it very wrong as well:

> Is this 'hallucination' though? Or just some weird stuff happening in visual processing?

Is there a meaningful difference?
Yes, I have. It’s a tough argument/longer conversation I realize. I feel it’s getting out of hand overall. As technology/saas products make it easier to simply capture everything, including user actions/playback/screenshots, to the point that someone in marketing at X startup is watching my private usage of their app on their MacBook Air somewhere without really caring or realizing how intrusive they are being. I realize 99.9% don’t intend to abuse or don’t even realize the intrusion, there needs to be a reset where companies take a stand and find greater value in simply not engaging in this low hanging fruit.
Now they'll keep paying that and have a $2k clothes hanger at home.
> "Modern society stigmatizes that kind of interaction, don't talk to people you don't know if you don't want to be ostracized..."

I agree there's some truth to this. But even more so think it's simply a lost art. Why strike up a cheap quick chat when all you have to do is stare at your device.

I'm old school (read: over 50 y/o white male) and I interact with people all the time. But it a skill to read someone and ideally make them laugh / smile.

I think you also have to have a certain amount of empathy (which I feel most ppl lack). "Hey. Nice shoes." or "I like you jacket" goes a long way. But that's more than clicking an icon. And it means you're taking a __small__ risk to engage someone else instead of waiting to have your own ego stroked.
I'm not competent enough to attempt my own explanation. The Wikipedia articles are good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithmically_random_sequenc...
If all of that knowledge and skills were marketable - yes. But many people go study bullshit degrees. They then expect good jobs and cushy salaries because degree. But apparently somebody needs to do dirty jobs too. Society would be much better off if a portion of people went to vocational school or were just trained at work.

Good plumber can advance standards of living and overall wealth much more than another failed literature critic. Who feels too smart to go to vocational school to learn plumbing after spending 4 years for useless diploma.

>Followers of Shinto, unlike Judeo-Christian monotheists and the Greeks before them, do not believe that humans are particularly “special.” Instead, there are spirits in everything, [...]

"Empedocles [says that the soul] is composed of all the elements and that each of them actually is a soul [...]" (Aristotle, De Anima, 404b11)

"All things are full of gods." (Thales. From Aristotle, De Anima, 411a)

"Now consider all the stars and the moon and the years and the months and all the seasons: what can we do except repeat the same story? A soul or souls...have been shown to be the cause of all these phenomena, and whether it is by their living presence in matter...or by some other means, we shall insist that these souls are gods. Can anybody admit all this and still put up with people who deny that 'everything is full of gods'?" (Plato, Laws, 899b)

Nice virtuous cycle...

The promise of opportunity and moving into a better economic class draws immigrants, which keeps people working longer, which supports social services.

CSS Selectors Level 4 Editor’s Draft, 2 May 2018
Wow that's weird, I have two and many of my friends have them and none of us have ever had an issue. We might have different models though.
For Swedish Wikipedia, there’s a bot that makes short articles for all geographic locations automatically.

Only problem is that there’s so many of them that they had to make a special version of “Random article”, that does not include geographic ones... it’s such a large part of the whole encyclopedia, that it messes with the distribution of data instead. Tricky problem.
They have all this but no 2FA. Also, their password limit was like 8 or 10 characters till recently.
I think it's probably easier to make a web app or desktop app as fast/bare/responsive/etc as an old terminal app, than it is to add good rendering of mixed fonts images etc into terminals.

So what he's arguing for is simpler, faster traditional non-terminal apps. Because those are good.
Ease of use and utility/efficiency seem to exist on the opposite ends of a continuum.

The more common "easy to use" software is designed to be up-front and intuitive but because of its nature it is hobbled from a maximum utility/efficiency standpoint. The interface usually relies on interaction modes that are severely limited in bandwidth (poking things with a pointer).

And the stuff on the other end is designed to be as useful and efficient as possible, but because of this its functions aren't immediately obvious and it requires the user to actually read the manual instead of fumbling their way around the interface. Once you actually put the time and effort in and learn the program you will be working far faster with this than the friendlier software.

There is one piece of software that comes to mind which seems to exist in a happy medium, the nano text editor can be extremely powerful once you learn the hotkeys but it meets you half way and gives you a heads up of all the main functions without you asking.
Respectfully, that's such bullshit. I rarely discuss politics with more than a few close friends; there are so many more interesting things to talk about! Separate your identity from The Party.

TL;DR: exit the media circuses and connect on a human level.

Oh my gosh, did they just straight up steal (copy and remove attribution) from TitanDB?

That has to be the death of this project right now, right? How could they ever monetize? DataStax (who probably owns those copyrights now after having acquired Aurelius) would probably take the acquirer to the cleaners.

And honestly, shame on them. Worst sort of open source behavior...

edit: as someone points out it might be a team in Baidu, too.

Is, uh, there a version of this, perhaps called the Touhou Lossy Music Collection, for apparent plebes like me who don't care about codecs discarding data that I can't hear anyway?

Cython basically lets you sprinkle types and performance into your Python code, as needed. It's not as drastic a departure as switching languages.
>It's a shame it takes a behemoth like Amazon to get manufacturers to do this, instead of doing it on their own.

The shame is, in my experience, Amazon's frustration free packaging just means "multiple cardboard boxes and lots of paper instead of plastic bubbles" even for cables.

I get the idea, and I agree in general. However, I've always struggled with DE's like i3 because they were so barren with visual information up front. I respect the power they present, but I appreciate a nice balance. Animations, more than anything, just need to be paced appropriately. They help a lot in easing a user into a flow within an app. Slack for me does this perfectly. It doesn't feel kludgy, slow, nor does it feel like everything pops up in your face loud and obnoxiously. The interface and animations helped me feel like I was getting down a flow, and when I learned the hot keys and patterns, it felt like playing an instrument well.
I wonder whether there's also a security compliance component here. For example, if you're SOC 2 compliant, does that preclude casual data review like that? If so, perhaps this will lead to greater demand for that kind of certification.
Entirely fair criticism and I am aware that the isolation I am in is self imposed, at least to a degree! Thank you.

I am reasonably good at pushing myself at other things, like my career or learning new things. I just need to take that step with my social anxiety as well.
Criminal to ensure that regular citizens of America and NY can actually drive down the street?

These taxes are basically a way to exclude vast numbers of people from the city and embolden systems that cause economic asymmetry.

A 'pure market' solution would involve the streets being largely empty save a fleet of limos paid for by a tiny fraction of the population.

A lot of New Yorkers would be happy to pay a price to make sure that you can't drive your car anywhere near them.

How about: every few avenues and streets make them 100% public transit and have tons of 'no driver' trams running all the time so that anyone can get anywhere really fast? Get rid of all large cars? And cabs are not a particularly efficient use of space.

Besides, living in NYC already comes with so many de-facto taxes ...
Your garbage bill would could you about 10,000 USD per pound and require the use of obscene amounts of rocket fuel.
It's weird how perception on these things has shifted. So many practices are "normal" today which used to be clearly labeled "spyware" only 15 years ago. They successfully rebranded spyware, now it's called "telemetry", or similar.

Anyone remember the huge privacy-related outrage when Windows XP came out, because it forced users to do challenge-response activation? How times have changed...

Excellent point.

Someone else brought up the culpability of fission researchers for Hiroshima. That's one example of a major technical endeavor where even with historical hindsight people won't all agree on its ethics.
Wait, people peel cucumbers? Do they also remove the seeds? Is there some nutrition philosophy where the bit left over has any value?
Spoiler: the default SSH RSA key format uses straight MD5 to derive the AES key used to encrypt your RSA private key, which means it's lightning fast to crack (it's "salted", if you want to use that term, with a random IV).

Indeed, I pointed this out in my May 2009 talk about scrypt (http://www.daemonology.net/papers/scrypt-slides.pdf). There were even OpenSSH developers in the room!
I explicitly raise that point in the post. Hardening one aspect of something does not preclude you from hardening others. Also: if I was trying to somehow draw attention away from that fact, I probably wouldn't write a blog post that mentions it 2 weeks later.
They weren't given any protective gear, so what use is a badge saying you've been over exposed if it's guaranteed everyone will eventually hit the limit?

The point of the badge is to make sure that people don't get more than the limit of exposure, to keep the workers safe. I know tour guides in Mammoth Caves in Kentucky work this way - the caves are generally safe, but if you spend many many hours in them you will get more than the radiation limit. It just isn't a job you can work for 40 hours a week your whole life.

They also don't wear protective gear. There isn't really effective protective gear that you can wear to protect against a constant low level of background radiation. They make lead aprons for x-ray workers but those are impractical for constant wear and don't protect from every direction anyway.
We've actually had commute time search at OpenRent (https://openrent.co.uk) since launch (2012) - It's less prominent on our homepage now, and somewhat unloved, simply because the majority of people seem to ignore / not want it.

The key to winning in the property space is definitely non-obvious, but I love to see innovative search tools popping up from time to time. Long may it continue!
But time is still a flat circle.
While this is a great improvement, this is most needed on mobile devices.

This was especially a problem with Ingress and Pokemon Go games where you need the map to be correct where it isn't.
Even more difficult is using those apps in places like the Arctic or Antarctic, there's no way to accurately place GPS coordinates, deal with game portals or have directions other than the compass.
You can get all of that with Electron-based terminals. Perhaps take a look at Hyper.

This is incorrect. They have 2FA available via the Symantec VIP Access app. It's not U2F or Google Authenticator, but it works.
>>Furthermore, the government isn't paying them for these poles in this case,

ohhh yes they are... They are allowing these companies free use the land those poles are sunk into free of charge from which they force the owners of said properly to allow them to use under the Utility Easement programs.

In most instances the government is also giving them some kind of Monopolistic control over the market segment they service. i.e there is only 1 Telephone Provider, or 1 Electrical Company for that area. In exchange for these FREE things the government requires these companies to SELL attachments to their poles at a reasonable fee. I.e when Comcast wants to connect to a Electrical Pole they pay a monthly FEE to the utility companies

To believe the utility companies some how being harmed just does not match reality
This is what I meant by "elaborate new plans". I like Y4's as much as the next nerd, but if you're going to put that kind of energy in, spend the energy on setting up an SSH CA.
please, god no. i've watched so many "terminal gurus" painfully hold left or right keys to jump to editing text (I use vi mode, but it still sucks). i've watched them fumble with !! to do something they think is efficient, but really slows them down. i've watched them write unreadable buggy awk scripts over the course of hours that end up not getting the job done. terminals are a classic example of fundamentally bad design.
My ssh key is stored in a yubikey. Haven’t had to type a password for ssh purpose in a long time!
Are there Emacs-based terminal UI libraries?

Looking at how insanely fast competent line staff are with terminal interfaces like in retail POS settings, I sometimes wonder if Emacs would be fast enough to keep up with them. If so, instead of using a browser as the base UI framework, would a terminal-screened Emacs (that is, in console mode or perhaps inside xterm, and not the graphical Emacsen) with an appropriate text UI library be feasible?

It can't possibly be worth the effort unless the text UI in the code is the only presentation layer, I'd imagine. But if you have to go down that route, it might be faster and easier than rolling your own termcap-based text UI, especially with all the elisp goodness within. The only extensive text UI I knew of was Vermont Views' product, which has since disappeared off the Net and was closed source anyways. There are some open source libraries, but none with nearly the power that came with that closed source offering, and all still quite low level.
It's a nice article and while the example...

"The smallest number that cannot be described in less than 15 words"

...is stimulating, it is an example of a sentence that does not describe a number rather than a number whose description can not be found.
I find it hard to believe the parent was failing to account for the cost of the landfill. It's the most obvious cost of that strategy, so it would be hard to miss.

On a related topic, to know that the equilibrium changes, you'd need to know the difference in cost before and after accounting for the thing you added.

This discussion would benefit significantly from careful analysis using actual numbers. If there's one thing that Bullshit! got right, it's that there are clear, empirical metrics we can use to evaluate solutions, and we should use them.
It has always struck me as odd that the powers that be have yet to figure out how to harness the love (obvious since they toil to preserve these media works at the best possible quality, albeit illegally) of data hoarders.
