Not necessarily. I think it works like this:

1. Standard metabolism: You need certain amouns of calories, and a certain amount of it must come from carbs. If you need 1200kCal in carbs, you will feel hungry until you get that 1200kCal in carbs, no matter how much fat you eat. It might be 1250kCal in plain rice, or 2500kCal in fatty chips, but it must contain 1200kCal in carbs.

2. Keto metabolism: A part of the carb need can be fulfilled with fat, at the cost of lower efficiency. You won't be hungry, almost regardless of how little carbs you eat.

It's easy to see how in 1. eating sugar could help you losing weight by making you eat less in general.

> If you don’t like taxes blame congress, the IRS like the police just quietly avoids anarchy.

You can't be serious. For most of our history, we didn't have an IRS. We didn't live in anarchy.

Nobody is against taxes. We had taxes before IRS existed. And if the IRS disappears, we'll still have taxes. Not only that, income tax unfairly penalizes the middle class workers while the wealthy are not ( income tax rates are much higher than the capital gain rate ).

Income taxes aren't used to build roads. We have gas tax for that. Income tax is used to fund wars and to line the pockets of politicians and bureaucrats.

At scale, this is the right approach but hand optimizations can still be extremely important in (say) a large codebase where you can't change to the right data structure or in (let's say) a game where the same basic operations are done over and over again so getting them fast will be very helpful.

I do something similar. I put any tty's I use in i3wm's scratch buffer and move it to the top. A key press then pops it up like a drop-down window without an animation.

I quite like Kitty compared to urxvt, which I was using before. Just looking at cmatrix, you can tell the difference. Smooth characters dropping down in kitty, sketchy 10fps on urxvt.

The only thing that bothers me is the theme being set in the config file. For urxvt, I put the theme separately in xresources and have a shell alias to change it (which then requires opening a new terminal, but that's what I use tmux for).

Maybe I can do something similar for Kitty, haven't really read the docs.

You make a good point.

It is simplistic and lazy to blame the colonials for all the ills of a society too. But the slow progress in fixing something like this is not so much because of a backwards attitude. Nation building takes time. Especially when things around the world are changing fast. There is a long long way to go. And it is definitely going to take a very long time getting there. Especially because there are way too many issues that need the attention of an already strained legal system.

Depends on the type of marketing, at a large corporation this is broken out into various functions as a lot of roles roll up into marketing. Some categories:

Advertising - digital, physical

Analytics - web traffic, roi analysis, data-mining, segmentation etc

Brand marketing - ads, identity / messaging, etc

Content - creating new content for the business around product/service to support promotional activity

Email - "subscribe to my newsletter", but at enterprise scale and managing content for the millions of subscribers you have

Product marketing - often a function in large enterprises, may be involved with things like messaging within a product

Web - website, seo, design, architecture, UX etc all fall under marketing

There's also a lot of functions that support many of these marketing roles, like the tech that powers all this, keeping things working smoothly, including integrations, compliance with stuff like GDPR, CASL etc

I think it comes down to their own definition of being “normal” for someone. I think it is this attitude of “if they are not like me or do not meet my definition of normal they should be tyrannized” is the problem. It also has to do with not having seen examples of such people leading normal life.

I'm assuming that comment is in reference to Cloudflare also being in the AMP game, but acting as an AMP cache. In their words:

It sounds like you should be forming a union to demand things like a serious health insurance plan.

Given that teaching pays worse than most other professions requiring a degree, the better question is how bad it’d be without unions. I live in DC which has some of the best teacher pay in the country and that’s still $60-70k — not poverty but really far from “a giant money sucking vortex” unless you think they should be monks.

Signal processing can be useful in a few ML domains (eg speech recognition), it would be useful as an elective at least. The best ML researcher I know had a leg up on the whole GPU DNN thing (way back in 2010!) because of his very strong signal processing background (he has an EE degree).

But even a degree specifically on ML isn’t going to cover all of its use cases, I guess (CV, speech recognition, ...).

My experience with ROS has been suboptimal. It's a collection of incompatible, outdated and buggy tools that communicate with each other via a single-point of failure (roscore) using a pub/sub mechanism.

Furthermore they use their own build system (catkin, WHY?), define their own IDL (WHY?), use their own dependency system (rosdep, WHY?) and even mess with your Bash environment.

I appreciate their effort and it is really hard to make a system that interfaces with all kinds of different robots and hardware, but I don't understand why they don't exploit existing high-quality solutions for the "not-robot-related" parts of their system. At the moment I don't think I would like to have ROS run a potential self-driving car.

Bitcoin sinks sharply amid concerns about slow take-up of cryptocurrencies
I'm one of the authors of the paper. Two quick things I want to say:

I've written a blog post that is a short but rigorous description of the paper's results: http://www.pl-enthusiast.net/2018/08/23/evaluating-empirical...

The paper does not make strong statements of the form, "fuzzers are/do X" or "all prior papers' claims are bogus." Rather, we say that the standard of evidence should be higher, and we demonstrate why failing to reach that standard could result in bogus claims. It's quite possible that a paper's idea really is an improvement. But it's also possible that additional evidence would cast doubt on that, or nuance it. For example, our experiments show that AFLFast probably does improve on AFL, though perhaps not as much as that paper made out (note we didn't do enough experiments ourselves to make that definitive statement).

What does that even mean? They are free countries. No one forced India to hold onto that law. No one forces other countries to hold onto colonial era laws. If they don't change it that's their choice, their decision and their problem in the end. Not that of some long gone boogeyman.
It's, well, slow. Haven't done any measurements, but it's noticeable. To do its work tmux must be basically another terminal emulator, and it seems it isn't the fastest at it. It's still strange, neither a little context switching (tmux is an extra process in the pipeline) nor doing the terminal things should amount to more than a millisecond. I think.

Good.

In my experience, AMP pages are leaps and bounds better than the full-fat experience. There's far less tracking, far fewer ads, and less asynchronously loaded core content. All of these mean that the page loads much faster and is a generally better experience.

Prior to the 2008 collapse, the San Diego Union Tribune ran a map of the county colored by the average percentage of household income spent on housing. The entire coastline was 80+% — and that included places like La Jolla with houses well into the millions, where you had these high-income couples who were living paycheck to paycheck, financing or even leasing everything to keep the affluent image and praying that the real estate market would continue rising to bail them out.
The last comment is not justified by the paper. The paper shows one case where the dumb thing finds tons of crashes, but several other cases in the same figure where it finds zero crashes. And the figure there is just one target program. More experiments on this issue might be interesting.

One other thing to point out: Finding crashes and finding bugs are not the same thing, as section 7 carefully argues. It could well be that many of those crashes are duplicates. The blog post I linked above also summarizes this point.

I think one reason may be that "constrained minimalism" and "internet community" are two things that don't really play nice together.
Just read somewhere about research somebody had made regarding the risk statements (established) companies put out. The result was that statements getting changed correlated with stock price taking a hit in near term.

Did not read the study itself. My explanation would be that since companies are not changing these for fun, they are probably changing them because they see some previously unexpected risk possibly manifesting itself and want to cover their back.

Unfortunately, I can't find the pointer to the study or the article.

Edit: Found the article, I guess this was posted to HN: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/09/the-sec...

> Desire is not a bad thing, and the reason why someone wants something doesn't matter after the point at which they want it.

It matters if they didn't want the product before your marketing campaign, and started to want it after. Desire itself is not a bad thing. Inducing desire in people is a completely different topic.

> I'd much rather people have agency over their decisions

Sure. And marketing as an industry mostly works to override people's agency. That's what all the tricks from Cialdini's book do. That's why the industry is so keenly weaponizing research from psychology and cognitive sciences.

> Also products are definitely getting better all the time.

That's a tangential topic (and a big one), but I very much question the thing those products are getting better at. It somehow never is about maximizing value to the buyer. Quite the opposite, actually - everything from white goods through tools, clothing, cars, to software, is getting less useful, more disposable, less repariable, of worse quality, and locked behind DRMs and service-instead-of-product schemes.
Not a libertarian exactly, I'm even in favor of social welfare programs etc, but against the gradual enlargement of taxation beyond all control. Even under the worst rulers, for most of history, it has usually been at 10% of income.

Used wisely (and without a huge bureaucracy that finds busy work - including military such, and corrupt healthcare pricing) it should be enough to fund basic government, schools, and so on.

For roads, there are tolls and vehicle fees and so on. For pensions and healthcare, we have a special percentage held directly from the salary (at least in my parts). For electricity and telecommunication we pay bills (and still give huge subsidies). There are also municipal taxes for city level stuff.

I disagree. You can do research in industry. It just probably won't be the kind that gets published. But yea, I meant to point out that after a Masters or PhD, there is still a ton of research in EE, civE, ME, chemE, biomed, and even IE, but there is also tons of industry jobs. Not so much in the fad fields. Even nanotech companies would rather a chemE.

But you don't need JIT for that. You need an intermediary language (ByteCode / MSIL). In a non-JIT world you would use ByteCode/MSIL libraries, and just before deploying, statically compile them for the platform they will be deployed to. JIT just means you are doing that step everytime the program runs (+/- caching) for every machine.
Are you into Software testing? May be this is of help.
Yea, but the problem is a lot of students coming out of highschool don't know that and don't learn it until it is too late. That needs to be explained up front.

Well, it's not your job to agree with that or not though. He should be free to do as he pleases (so, the freedom to spew gobs of JS etc. should be unarguable) and you should be free to not visit his page.

The German telecom and ISP markets are a joke.

Having worked with trackers, and used the sorts of pages your colleagues prefer, I have arrived at a slightly different conclusion.

Your colleagues are the problem that AMP is unfortunately necessary to solve. There are too many bloated, slow, design-forward and tracker-infested pages that take ten times as much memory and time as is required for the core content to be loaded and presented. This means the core of the user experience in AMP-land is generally much, much better.

It didn't have to be this way. AMP is necessary because the web user experience has become atrocious. There have been many years, flush and bountiful with opportunities to improve this. Most websites remain blessed with this wondrous panoply.
