GeoCities Japan is shutting down
I think its possible to do better than that. If you leverage Go runtime and your language has a GOB library, you can use that and avoid the speed penalty of the shim.
For example here's this idea implemented for Rust: https://github.com/srijs/rust-aws-lambda
Amazing and very well deserved! Checkpoint blockade drugs are in their nascency, and though they aren't a silver bullet, they can be incredibly effective nonetheless. A large number of people will be saved from cancer (and maybe some other ailments too) thanks to these scientists.

As an aspiring medical researcher, stories like these are humbling and inspiring.
fly.io | Full-Time | Remote Only | TypeScript Developer

Fly is an open source platform for building CDNs and other “edge applications”. You might like working here if you're interested in internet infrastructure, care about low level JavaScript runtimes, and think you'd enjoy writing TypeScript / JavaScript full time.

We're a small team of 6 with real revenue. We help companies build fast applications, and tell our families we're in an epic battle against the speed of light (it's true!).

We're hiring a full time developer with salary + benefits to build edge applications for customers and improve our open source software.

To apply: have a look at https://github.com/superfly/fly, then send an email to jobs@fly.io and tell us something you'd improve. We'll tell you about the sample project and schedule a video all to answer any questions you have.

We promise we'll reply to you. We'll give you honest and direct answers regardless of your skill level. Applying for jobs sucks, we try to make it suck a little less.
A five or so line summary of the concepts of any given philosopher will be necessarily incomplete. It's certainly not going to handle things like the evolution of their own ideas over time (and many philosophers contradict their own early work with later works).

On the other hand, as a rough guide to the structure of the history of philosophy, this is a very interesting approach. All philosophers are standing on the shoulders of giants. They are influenced by and comment on each other's ideas. Putting those concepts into an easy to follow link-based format is a terrific idea, and could be very useful to a lot of us who study philosophy.
HP made a leather laptop
I'm using libinput. It seems fine to me. No trackpad has come close to my MBP trackpad. However, this one is fine for my purposes. I will say that I'm not a heavy trackpad user though. I use a tiling window manager and use vimium to scroll in Chromium.

The only modifications I made to the stock configuration was to enable the following flags in my Xorg config:

Option "DisableWhileTyping" "0"
Option "Tapping" 1
Option "TappingDrag" 0

Enabling tapping makes it match my preferred tapping behavior I had on my MBP. I disabled TappingDrag to prevent spurious drag events. The first flag was to let me use the trackpad while typing so I could do some light gaming using the trackpad.

The immune system is thought to already clear mutated and defective cells as part of their everyday activity.

Cancers which grow to a detectable/dangerous population have to find some way to evade this immune surveillance and hitting off switches like "immune checkpoints" is one way to accomplish this. So, blocking the off switches helps the immune system resume its everyday task of killing weird cells.
The Alexa chart is rank among other web sites. The Similarweb chart shows number of visits. Apples and oranges. It's possible that they are both correct. Similarweb shows a small decrease in number of visits.

It could be that there are thousands of sites with a similar number of visits. A small drop in number of visits might cause a huge drop in rank.

Using this textbook right now for my grad-level OS class (I'm a student). Definitely one of the most readable textbooks I've ever used -- the authors actually try to impart some personality into the writing. I'm not 100% sold on how they divide the book into 3 parts -- virtualization, concurrency, persistence -- since not everything in an OS fits precisely into one section (e.g., multi-core scheduling is in virtualization but could also fall under concurency). Still, for the price (free/$10 enhanced PDF/$22 softcover) I'd heartily recommend this book to anyone, and I hope it quickly becomes the standard OS book.

I'm inclined to believe that those jobs are equally as toxic towards men as to women. This is purely based on my personal experience, but to me it seems as though men just grow more used to the typical male-to-male bullshit (pardon the expression) while growing up, so they can more easily just deal with it. Also, consider that it isn't enough that women want those jobs, there needs to be lots of women who want those jobs. If the set of people who 1. want those jobs and 2. believe they are capable of achieving them contains less women, then the subset of those people who are good enough to get those jobs will also contain less women.

Now, combining the factors that 1. girls are often confronted with an image of men being good at the sciencey stuff and women being better at caring for a family and 2. to women it's much more viable to instead attempt to get married to a man with one such high-paying job\, it makes sense that less women would attempt to get into those positions.

\ And I am not trying to say that's something only women do, but something men would probably do just as much if it was available to them.

I don't think he said that to imply he deserved success. The way I read it: he mentioned it to disqualify those factors (not working hard enough or not having enough discipline) as reasons the game flopped.
I don't know enough to evaluate this advice, but the word "histamine" caught my eye.

There are antidepressants that, as I understand it, are antihistamines. For example, imipramine. I wonder what it means if you have an adverse reaction to such a drug, and something resembling schizophrenia as well.
Smart Host | Berlin, Germany | Senior Backend Developer (Java) | Full-time | Visa | Onsite | https://www.smart-host.com/

Smart Host is giving independent hotels the digital marketing tools that help them stay relevant in the age of booking.com and Airbnb. Our CRM suite consists of 3 modules: Guests: giving the hotels insights about their in-house guests in order to tailor services to their needs. Campaigns: to send only relevant information to their previous guests and turn them into returning customers. Offers: to craft custom offers for potential guests who are requesting a stay. All our modules are using advanced statistical analysis hidden in the background to synthesize actionable information and give clear advice to our customers on how to treat and market to their guests while avoiding to spam them with irrelevant information.

We are handling customer data with all the care it deserves and are, of course, fully compliant with GDPR. We do not mine from any external data sources and instead solely rely on data the hotels are gathering during a guests stay as well as online surveys conducted directly with the guests. This leaves us with generally very high quality of data.

Smart Host is a two year old, VC funded startup that is run by two experienced entrepreneurs who each have successfully founded two companies previously. All the members of the technical team are highly experienced and are looking for support from other experienced and motivated individuals.

We are hiring a Senior Backend Engineer (Java/Spring Boot, Python), Salary: 65k - 85k.

"New Zealand travellers refusing digital search now face $5000 Customs fine"

That headline reads as if it is from some dystopian cyberpunk novel. We've reached the age where governments are conducting "digital searches" at whim without just cause, gaining access to everything that makes you "you", and claiming it's for your own safety.
Nail on head! This does not increase real security and it is a real privacy violation. Dumb lose lose authoritarianism. Disappointed that smart Kiwis do something so dumb
This is an important issue cryptographers and security minded people often overlook: the strongest cryptography is irrelevant if it opens you to such social harassment. What we need is practical cryptography.

I have found practical success by booting from an encrypted Linux partition that has absolutely nothing relevant on it, with a weak password I can always enter when requested by big guys with guns. Unbeknown to them on the same partition there sits another encrypted volume, at some offset from the outer's partition start. If I fail to enter the correct password for the outer partition, Ubuntu drops into the command line of the initrd, that is equiped with all the tools you need to mount the real, offset partition:

cryptsetup -o 100000000 create boot /dev/sdc3

So instead of having a nice GUI into which you directly enter the uber-secret password, you press enter a few times in the GUI, drop to command line, issue a single command and only then enter the uber-secret password. A mild nuisance in your bootup process, once you get the hang of it.

It's impossible for any court forensic team, let alone an airport goon, to prove there is actually another partition inside the outer encrypted partition, unless you mount common volumes and cross-contaminate. An important caveat is to properly defragment the outer partition and fiddle with the offset and the size of the inner partition to prevent any conflicts, then avoid writing in the outer partition.
What's the argument that life couldn't have arisen multiple times? If the conditions for spontaneous generation existed on the primordial Earth, why wouldn't they have held in more than one place and why couldn't genesis have occurred more than once?
All countries can demand it. They are sovereign.

Are you asking which countries do demand it?
I seem to remember that the scan line trick on the Beeb was to save a bit of memory. The 32K Beeb was a bit constrained so it used every trick it could to save it.

However its processor was twice as fast as the C64 so it had an advantage for 3D graphics.

Of course because the C64 had more free RAM it was able to hold a lookup for some calculations so get around the slower CPU.

I love the balancing of those trade offs back in the day.

I believe that the “ultimate” 8 bit Elite was the co-processor Beeb version which had 64k on the copro and the hosts shadow memory plus a faster 6502 too.

Hidden line removal! In. Real. Time. Just imagine that if you can.

I already do this when traveling.

I have my travel phone which I pop a SIM card into when I land, and I have my normal phone which I leave at home. I don't do it for privacy reasons, but just in case I lose a phone, I'd rather lose my crappy Motorola with a few contacts in it and a few chat apps, than my iPhone X with my entire life in it...
You are classically Missing The Point.

Historically, your luggage would contain personal pictures, credit card numbers, general banking statements, generally personal information, etc. The medium in which this information is stored and carried around has changed.

The need to inspect what you're bringing into the country has not.

These processes didn't originally come about because people wanted to inspect your 5 different pairs of underwear or what personal devices are exploring where the sun don't shine. The people decrying this as some sort of over reach are basically just admitting ignorance to the fact that these processes are just lagging behind how people actually carry and transmit the same information they've been inspecting for nearly a century. It's just a small update to continue doing what border patrol has always been doing.

What's actually problematic is the there's so much information housed together on one device. In border patrol/guard/police in customs/etc attempt to, again, continue doing what they've always been doing that particular advance in policy and process has incidentally lead them at the forefront of a lot of information people used to either keep in their homes or just in their head.

Personally I think this more of a data organization problem than it is a government over reach one. It definitely needs to be discussed. It doesn't need to include tired cries of a 1984-esque future.

What do you expect from a publication that hired people like Talia Lavin.

https://www.thecut.com/2018/06/new-yorker-fact-checker-ice-t...

Both sides of the political extreme are guilty of claiming their "facts" are real and others are ignorant for not believing them. It's the modern day equivalent is "our god is the one true god" nonsense. But the left just has a much bigger and louder megaphone to shout at people.

It's obvious to anyone paying attention that the New Yorker nor any other publication cares about facts. They care about their own agenda. The New Yorker isn't an objective publication. They are an advocacy group.

Essentially it's the Ministry of Truth attacking people for wrongthink.
