"the risk of being embroiled in a good game of ... legal football is high."

That's my personal experience as a parent, unless the pediatrician can absolutely rule out all possibility of any theoretical disease then all conversations with the pediatrician's office always end with an official recommendation to CYA by spending a day at the ER.

Two anecdotal heat exhaustion cases:

Me, like a quarter century ago, in the Army after setting a new personal record on a daytime hot summer windless humid PT test while stationed temporarily in the deep deep south; typical heat exhaustion, no energy, puke, dizzy, gray world, squadmates turned me in for "wobbling on my feet too much". PS and medic look at me, "well, you're still sweating, so ..." dump a canteen of water on my head and torso, force me to drink a canteen of water, wait to see I don't puke for a couple minutes, escorted by another soldier to sit in front of an air conditioner with him ordered to watch me drink another canteen of water for an hour. Treatment cost approx five minutes of medic labor and one hour of chaperone solder labor to observe me while I recovered, and three canteens of drinking water.

Preteen daughter gets heat exhaustion on the hottest most humid day of the year after a long day working hard outdoors despite being well hydrated, no energy, puke, dizzy, but still conscious and sweating, wife gets nervous resulting in call to pediatrician resulting in spending rest of day and most of night in the ER running EKG heart tests and blood tests and MRI the skull looking for tumors. She wasn't even dehydrated enough to need an IV, so they actually treated nothing, merely immense amounts of diagnostic screening to rule out every possible ailment that could cause dizzyness (which seems to be practically everything). Treatment cost in the five digits, paid by everyone else via insurance premiums. But, at least the pediatrician CYA from legal standpoint.

To some extent the real cost of "malpractice insurance" isn't directly paid as "malpractice insurance" but is funded by immense insurance premiums.

I looked it up for fun and the odds of a teen girl being diagnosed with a brain tumor is approximately one in ten thousand per year; the odds of a teen girl getting dizzy on the hottest sweatiest day of the year after working hard outdoors is somewhat higher, but legal CYA is very expensive.

Really? In my experience, it's been the opposite; I graduated high school in '06, and had to make a point to unlearn some of those phrases which had become habit, when it finally became clear to me how problematic that actually was. I'm seeing the same thing happen with my younger brother as he enters high school, but to a lesser degree; at least now, it feels tongue-in-cheek rather than simply ignorant. All the same, I'm trying to steer him away from it becoming habit when we game, but when all your peers use a certain vocabulary, it's a struggle.

I wrote my dissertation using Pandoc. It might seem that the LaTeX boilerplate is minimal, but Markdown is even more minimal, and it preempts the urge to fuss with your layout. Writing in Markdown means that you can wave your hand at the document and say, "It's a draft, I'll fix the formatting once I'm sure I even want this material." Afterwards, fixing the layout is really easy because you can drop raw LaTeX in wherever you need to, and you haven't wasted countless hours laying out a float you later end up cutting.
You know, that's a good point. It would be great if people simply finished things and called them good sometimes.

Staying sane as a solo developer
He doesn't just complain about Google. In the tweet, he threatens that the issue "will be addressed."

This shouldn't happen in a country with a free press. We're (yet again) moving into authoritarian territory. So why is everyone acting so non-nonchalantly here? This is not normal behavior for a democratically elected leader.

I hope everyone who can plans on voting in the mid terms. Only congress can rein this guy in. The congressional races are more competitive than normal this year, so we have a real chance of making a change.
I would think that there are enough competing vendors, and they are sufficiently interchangeable, that one vendor having low prices will drag the whole market down. That is, I believe that CAs are actually a nearly efficient market.

Whatever trump may say, no one knows what Google's algorithm do because there is basically no way to check they haven't been gamed.

I'd even bet that most of the folks who work there don't have a clue themselves.

[Edit] And the fact that Google is a leftist company with strong ties to the democrats is a basic fact of life. It's therefore easy - or at the very least tempting - to add two and two.
It's somehow effectively doubled the number of search results for any one topic, only half of which will work. But you're right, for a daily user you learn quickly to treat as another criteria to sift through to get relevant results.
Of course, but I think that your portrayal of the regular user is not of a regular user at all. The regular users I know don't even know what syncing is, what the cloud is, what integration is. I know lots of people that have their home computer running with the "walmart" or "samsclub" user.

Of course Linux breaks, I've seen it break in all the imaginable ways in all layers in all the distros I've used (from Gentoo stage 1 back in the day to Ubuntu). But I hardly see problems when running Ubuntu on regular hardware.

I could perfectly argue the same thing about Windows, it is a well know fact that Windows over time without expert supervision, will end up badly: full of unwanted adware, bloatware, and shitty software ruining the experience. I'm sure most of us were asked a lot of times to fix an aunts/friends PC.

I could also say the same thing about MacOS. The UI experience is completely different from Windows, personally, I hate the interface and I don't enjoy it. On the other hand, regular users are willing to put up with the difference, why? because it's a Mac! It's a beautiful industrial design product and people who are able to afford it are proud of it.

I regularly use Linux, Windows and macOS. I think nowadays they are all solid choices. And the differences stem from personal preferences. What I don't think has place nowadays is to speak in absolutes: "macOS is the superior usability experience", "Linux can not compete in even the most basic use case", "Windows is the only solution for enterprise users" we hear so often.
Yes Linux is cheaper because you do not need to change your computer as often. It is also cheaper because you spend far less time for system administration. Since may 2017 (when I bought my last computer), I have a dual boot windows/ubuntu. I use windows around 5 minutes each month for a single application. I have lost far more time in administrative tasks on windows than on linux: on linux all updates happen in background. On windows, computer was stuck during hours incrementing a percentage.

I really like VS Code, it has some good plugins and it's faster than Atom, but it's still too slow. I use VS Code, Sublime, Intellij or Vim which is my favourite editor. It's my favourite because it runs in the terminal and it's fast. Unlike some others the interface is less important. I like the fact that I can easily run the same setup for Vim on my laptop, via SSH, on OpenBSD, on Linux, inside VirtualBox without a GUI, etc. For Node.js, Python, Perl I think it's all pretty good across all those editors, the only thing I'm struggling with is a good IDE-like experience for Java in Vim. Anyone have any pointers?
Hexagons are all equidistant from their neighbors and all share the same size edge with all neighbors. This allows you to do cool stuff like k-rings. These properties are useful for all sorts of reasons.

With S2 cells there are two different distances to neighbors at the corners vs the sides and the neighbors at the sites have long borders and neighbors at the corners have vertice borders.

Both S3 and H3 are useful, but for different reasons. It's worth knowing the benefits and tradeoffs of both and choosing the solution that fits your particular problem.

H3 uses Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion project and puts the 20 pentagonal vertices all in the ocean. I'm not sure the impact of this for maritime usage and I'm not sure if there is yet a different orientation that puts all vertices on land, so you can use it for maritime usage without having to concern yourself with these vertices.
Nice. MS OneNote had exactly this functionality and it was super useful for taking notes in math/engineering classes. Good to see a non-MS product taking it on, and producing open output by default.
>Also, how can Clojure be highly practical when it ties you to the JVM?

The JVM allows you to use a ton of libraries, on a very performant platform. CL libraries just aren't anywhere near as feature-complete as in more popular languages, and this matters when you actually need to be productive. I don't have time to reinvent the wheel constantly. This practicality is what motivated Clojure in the first place, and why it is far and away the most popular lisp.
What I'm having trouble understanding about the whole thing, and the author really misses the point by talking about Snap and Flatpak, is that the technical reason Dropbox are only supporting ext4 is apparently the use of extended attributes.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but a filesystem is supposed to abstract these concepts. All current major Linux filesystems (ext2+, btrfs, XFS etc.) support extended attributes. The implementation is irrelevant. It should be exposed to the application in exactly the same way because that's what the filesystem is /for/. Dropbox shouldn't need to worry about this whole thing because they should just be able to call the system API to deal with it.

Or have I fundamentally misunderstood the issue?
The web was supposed to be open and free; it was supposed to democratize the exchange of information. We have lost control of it by allowing corporations to subvert that idea.

Frightening stupid people by exaggerating threats that they don't fully understand is what corporations do to sell their products and services.

Using a browser underwritten by a large corporation is a very bad idea. When it pops up a message saying that a static website is insecure, it's time to get another browser.

This is offtopic, but I have to point out that these sort of cynical pronouncements are somewhat dangerous. You are probably coming from a good place and trying to warn people about being too trusting, but I see a risk in these sort of statements in making younger readers believe that this is a normative statement (as opposed to the positive sense I think you meant it in). Ideally HR does have something to offer the employee, balancing their interest with the company's. Let's not retreat entirely from that ideal.

YouTube channel feeds, if they have one, are at: www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id={channel_id} Some channels have a custom url and the id isn't obvious but it should be in the page source somewhere.

For example, "It's Okay To Be Smart" is at "www.youtube.com/user/itsokaytobesmart". Right click, view page source, search for "/channel/". That finds "<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH4BNI0-FOK2dMXoFtViWHw">". So the feed url is:

For any experts reading this: what are plausible-looking extensions of the standard model which can probably be challenged/"proved" by current generation accelerators (in particular the LHC) and would lead to interesting extensions of the standard model?

As far as I am aware, the LHC could e.g. find no sign of lots of variants of supersymmetry, which was a plausible candiate for this in the past:

Are there so many parts that could be wrong?
I want to address a point that many here have replied to:

> Given the disaster that has been Windows over the last few years

Just because Windows has become stable and somewhat secure doesn't mean it hasn't been a disaster.

Windows 8 upset everything with a pointless new interface requiring user retraining on even the most basic things like how to log on or log off. How to print. Etc. There are now dual built in apps (preferences) for multiple things, in both the new UI, and the conventional UI.

Microsoft even tried to force the new interface onto server desktops.

Developers had to write apps a new way. And then there was the store for the new apps. The legacy apps were to become just that -- legacy.

Then Microsoft went back to having a start menu and a desktop again. Later, even as the primary interface -- but keeping some of the visual appearance of the "new" interface.

And the Windows store. And Windows S.

And the market confusion of Windows RT for ARM processors that cannot run legacy applications. But anyone could have (and I did) foresee that consumers would not understand this. Why won't my legacy x86 app run on Windows RT? The entire value proposition of Windows is that it runs legacy apps -- take that away and Windows has little value. Without the apps, it has less software than Linux or Mac. Developers were not going to port their apps to ARM for free. So if you bought Windows RT, be prepared to re-buy your apps. Consumers returned them in droves. For better or worse, Windows is deeply tied to Intel architecture.

Much of this upset was changes just to prop up the failing (and now definitely failed) Windows 7, then Windows 8 phone. (Both of which caused the previous efforts of developers to be obsolete and abandoned.)

And then redesigning the desktop UI yet again, for no good reason.

I think one could be fair in calling this a disaster. Just sayin'

But this old man being the President, I am honestly concerned about an effort being made to "balance viewpoints" of Google results in a similar way to how media tries to present both sides of the given argument as deserving equal consideration, which leads to some interesting results when one side is represented by flat-earthers.
It's disgraceful, obviously, but it's an entirely predictable pattern on some level. He embarrassed himself and was forced to take an action he didn't want with lowering the flags for his adversary, McCain. He's now lashing out to distract people and to raise his own self-esteem.

The idea that there is a left/right divide in Google search results probably says more about differences in today's American left and the right, rather than anything about Google.
Yes, exactly! Couldn't have said it better myself.
Google don't provide neutral search results. Everyone knows that.
So basically, your calculations for deciding whether purchasing physical GPUs or using cloud GPUs is more cost effective should add $5,000 (50 hours at $100 an hour seems reasonable) onto the cost of any physical rig, and assume you have a spare 50 hours of opportunity cost to set it up.

All the ML researchers lusting for bare metal need to decide if they want to be "Gentoo Ricers" - https://funroll-loops.teurasporsaat.org/ - or if they just want to train models and get real work done.
Spectrum of possibilities: a GUI color guide
RSS is used by those who aren't into "social" addiction, but just want a quick listing of relevant news from a super-simple news feed (as in "really simple syndication"). A couple years ago Google embraced, extended and almost extinguished RSS, so I'm not sure RSS users are willing to obtain/share their feed URLs from a pointless central service; just go to the web sites you're reading frequently, check if they have an RSS feed announced in their HTML metadata (as indicated by an RSS symbol in eg. FF), and add the URL to your feeds.
Agreed with all of these points.

If this project interests you, check out GoodNotes.

I've been using GoodNotes for a year now on an iPad Pro with a Pencil and for me it's a killer app. Since I've started using it, my handwriting has improved. That's not something I set out to do, but it happened probably because I wanted to help out the OCR engine. It's pretty awesome to run a search and have your handwritten notes surface.

My worry is that the app only sells for $8 and that doesn't seem sustainable. The built in Notes app keeps getting better, so maybe the inevitable outcome is that the third party apps fade away as people switch to the core app.

> The most likely outcome of blocking free-speech nodes is control of conversation, eg, deeming supporting national borders as 'hate speech'.

Why would that be the most likely outcome? I'm pretty sure that "deeming supporting national borders as 'hate speech'" is a fringe position, which would be unlikely to take over a popular instance. Even if it did, people whose posts about national borders are deleted could easily move to another instance with a different policy.

Filtering what you see and share with others isn't inherently wrong. Sure, if I'm on an instance that considers national borders equivalent to hate speech, I might lose out on interesting discussions about that topic. But if I'm not (and that's much more likely), then I won't be bothered by strangers reacting angrily to my posts they see as hate speech, because they'd be blocking me instead.

I think the upsides of not seeing what I don't want to see outweigh the downsides of not seeing everything, given that there's too much content to see everything anyway.

Not at all. Where else am I going to go that's better? Sprint? Terrible network and most likely about to be absorbed by T-Mobile. AT&T and Verizon? Both have had similar SIM replacement breaches by customer service (either coordinated attacks or ignorant reps ignoring procedure), and are wildly more expensive for the same service.

Your mistake is the illusion of choice. There are no good mobile carriers, only the least worst.

An hour or two for a tutorial is just too much.

What VSCode offers on this front that strikes me as a really killer feature is the command palette. It's a great UI - whenever you want to do something, and you're not sure what to do, just hit the hotkey to open the command palette (on Macs it's shift-splat-P) and start typing the name of what you want to do. It'll give you a menu of actions, and, if a hotkey is assigned, show it to you.

It means you never need to leave the keyboard to hunt through menus to find something, and you also don't need to read through endless lists of hotkeys and create Anki flashcards for them just to get yourself pushed over the "I can't get any work done here" phase of the learning curve.
