I cook on a wood-burning stove year round. Here in west-Sweden it can get quite warm in summer (with last summer being an extreme example with a maximum of 37°C and a period of around a month with daily temperatures between 25°C and 30°C, we did most of our cooking outside on an electric plate as open fire was prohibited due to the extreme drought). When firing the stove just for cooking I use quick-burning wood (spruce, fir, etc) and it doesn't really add that much heat to the kitchen, the thing is quite efficient. Come the colder months I light the stove a bit earlier, using heavier types of wood (birch, elm, oak, etc). I have yet to fell a living tree for either the stove or the heating stove (which, between the two of them, heat the whole house) as every year there is enough windfall to keep up with the demand (between 3 and 5 cubic meters of split wood per year). Felling, hauling, cutting and splitting wood is about 2 weeks of exercise per year, it is the fuel which keeps you warm twice - once while harvesting, the second time while burning it.

Yes, this might be more work than just flicking a switch, touching a zone on an induction cooker (which I used before I moved to Sweden) or turning a knob but it is more reliable, more sustainable, more useful and more fun than the alternative (electricity).
I’ve worked in games for 20 years. The way I make it work is to accept that it is insane. Have a savings cushion. Network so that finding a new job is easy. Generally, make sure you are OK if you find chains on the door tomorrow morning. Also helps to not be a morning person. Everyone but management knows that overtime is anti-productive. But, they usually only count heads after 6. Working from 10-7 keeps us both happy.
It might be safer to be in one rather than walking near one, or driving alongside one. Sadly those are a lot harder to opt-out of!
Just to clarify your sentence, do you mean "far more inclined to believe China did spy on Apple/Amazon, etc"? Or you're far more inclined to believe Apple/Amazon, etc?
I can envision this being ok for urban use, such as taxis, shuttles, and busses, but not so great for personal use for everyone. For example, I want to be able to drive my car across the lawn to load/unload stuff.

What bothers me most about this tech is we have a pretty long history of auto manufacturers knowing about problems involving safety issues that they evaluate with a cost/benefit methodology as opposed to a safety first and always approach.

The Ford Pinto [1] is a good example of that.

I still trust me more than an autonomous machine but I do look forward to a day when I don't.

Of all the stuff I've read about the new AC game, I'm really surprised no one has mentioned that it's just a reskin. It seems obvious to me.
That is so much more about attitude than bragging. Your smart friends have not been exposed enough or can't put their minds into the mindset of sharing things without maybe being afraid of sounding like a show-off. It could be hard to get them into habit of doing so but maybe if there was other people around who'd showcase the "more interesting" way of sharing things they'd slowly change their attitudes. It's hard to describe but I'm positive by slowly introducing elements of "bragging" or maybe in this case just sharing without care the situation would change.

It could also be that they just don't have strong enough rapport with you that they'd feel sharing all those things with you, I don't know. Maybe next time tease them with something along the lines "c'mon I know you've been up to something". But take your time, don't expect things to change immediately.
The former. I wasn't suggesting that mu4e should be converted right away to use this feature, but more concerned that an unqualified statement that long-running IO must block in Emacs would create the wrong impression.
If Techcrunch/Oath is selling/collecting Europeans' data, they are bound by the GDPR.

Whether they have enough operations in the EU for the EU to enforce it is another matter.
I don't really get this article. It isn't necessary to optimize for minimal allocations if it doesn't affect response time. They mention the new technique was making too many allocations; why do they care how many allocations are being made, if response time is the same?
To give another (Canadian) data point, last time I rented a house in Regina, I paid just under 9%.
The delete the character "before" the cursor; I'm not sure I understand the question. RTL languages still have forward and back, they're just RTL: it's still a backspace.

Re the larger question: historical. Never seen anybody with anything like it.

I'm not sure I'd use it very much; usually my mistakes are things I've just typed.

When they're not, I have to put my cursor near the error anyway, and if I'm doing that, I either put it in the right spot to backspace, or I'm performing larger-than-single-character-scale edits anyway).
My school had the then-new iMacs. Everything locked down so if you double-clicked an application in finder and its four-letter code was not on the whitelist, it wouldn't let you in.

But we had IE for mac installed, and if you made a HTML file linking to any application, IE would happily launch it for you. At which point I downloaded and ran ResEdit ...
So we do the loop 50 time and we now have an algorithm that works (97%!) on the test set. We are happy! We run it in production and everything looks good (prbly 92% ish). Everyone is happy! We all get promoted or get new jobs. Then, one day, someone actually looks at what it's doing... and lo. It. does. not. work (~51%) Everyone is sad. Apart from us! Yay!

Seriously - an optimisation loop on a test set? Seriously?
> How do unrelated processes usually initiate communication?

They aren't unrelated, they are parent and child. They know PIDs of each other. Parent can read/write stuff to child's streams, input output error. Child inherits opened files. Parent can set command-line arguments & environment variables for the child.
In all cases? possibly not if it is covered by national security.
For my uses, the actual Netflix player is by far better than Prime Video. I watch a lot of anime and foreign films. Prime Video seems to equate subtitles with closed-captions, and the font is harder to read. Netflix has the skip intro/credits buttons as a bonus.

As far as the interfaces for selecting what to watch, in my opinion they are equally bad. I no longer use them to discover content. Instead I find something I want to watch elsewhere and search for it directly.
Neat, I didn't realized Apple started allowing interpreted code in developer tools [1][2]. It's surprising they even allow accessing the filesystem, etc.

2. Aside from the built-in JavaScript engine in WebKit which was always allowed?
I mean only if you can work on "core", something that is extraordinarily difficult and you can impress everybody with it. I am not talking about joining a team working on end credits scrolling etc.
I don't take this as overly critical. We need and welcome feedback.

Looking at layers for text is something we will definitely do. We are happy with SDF text in our UI, but text inside of Chromium is miles from acceptable and will continue to be a focus.

As far as scalable and user positional UI, we currently hold the opinion that it doesn't offer enough value to compensate for the complication that it introduces, especially for novice users. At the same time, we realize that is a contrarian point of view and user frustration may force us to change it. We have to remain open to changing opinions like these.
I don't allow cookies, unless I whitelisted your website.
It may seem obvious, but add an registration through oauth providers like google and facebook. It should trim down the amount without a lot of impact I guess.

If all that abuse is in Russian you might just try to deny service if Russian language is used or add an extra hurdle like browser fingerprinting and rejecting the combo language + fingerprint within a timeframe.

Depending on your user demographic you could also use a reputation system for ip's. Trusted no delays, untrusted delayed for 10 minutes and if something similar is found within that timeframe (use regex) drop the message.

Nah, not really. It was just for information. But Atlassian must have some kind of plan for Trello, and I for one can't guess what that might be.
Drax looks like it generates electric power, not heat.
I don't. Hadn't even heard of Dunbar's Number and had to Google it :) I would imagine, though this is pure speculation, that it's highly variable and hard to measure accurately since most leaks are hard to pinpoint. Probably depends on company culture, nature of the deal, etc. I just think that if you're at the scale that verbally confirming who has dialed in via insecure means is unscalable, you're likely enough to be past this limit that you should be taking other countermeasures anyway.
The cable channel subscription is an absolutely annoying business model. The nice thing about Amazon for awhile, versus, say, Netflix, was that you can rent movies ale cart for a few bucks if it wasn't already streaming. I don't want a subscription to Starz just to finally see that Spiderman movie.

I'll buy a YouTube subscription before I pay for a cable package on a streaming service.

I think this is the issue; at least in the U.S. EVERYTHING is becoming more politicized no matter how inane.

You are also EXPECTED to have a binary opinion on all these issues with no room for differing opinions.

Look at the NFL protests during the anthem.
Kneel and you are a bleeding heart liberal that hates the cops.
Stand and you are a red hat conservative promoting police brutality and the Private Prison Complex.

$10 per month for prime video alone would be worth the subscription? Netflix is $8 and at least its UI doesn't completely suck. Every time I used prime video in the past it seems like one of the intended dark-patterns of the prime video UI is to direct you to as many pay-to-watch videos as possible, even if you were browsing by the "included in my prime video account" filter.
Can't believe I'm seeing Ali Express compared to Amazon, and apparently in a favorable way.

Ali Express is overrun with sellers with identical listings, but the quality may vary greatly between them. You will only know when you receive the item. It's not uncommon to receive something that looks totally different than the listing images.

Shipping something back on Ali Express is basically a total no-go. They get killer discounts on shipping to the US. Shipping something back to China is probably going to be more expensive than the product. With Amazon it is cheap or free to return things.

Sorting by price on Ali Express is totally broken, because sellers can list a variation with the lowest price that is never available. This impossible-to-get lowest price is taken into consideration by the sort.

People complain that sometimes Prime is 3 or 4 day shipping instead of actually 2 days. Ali Express is 2 weeks minimum. Probably 50% of the things I've ordered have taken 1+ month. Some things take 2 months. Some things never arrive at all.

All that said, I still use Ali Express. It's great for small, cheap and generic items. I know what I'm getting into, and I accept the risks. There is no way it could replace Amazon.

If you knew nothing about Amazon and only learned about it from HN comments you would think it was basically the Mos Eisley Cantina. The real eCommerce Mos Eisley Cantina is Ali Express.

Shopping on Amazon is still cheap and convenient. Maybe not if you consistently buy things that are exorbitant to ship like ping pong tables or 6 foot ladders, but most people buy items that could fit in a shoe box.
... I still don't see why I would do that. Emacs runs offlineimap and then Emacs runs mu index. Why would I do it again myself from the command line?
Thank you so much. That was a wonderful read and I really enjoyed that.
Have you tried managing your preferences? It's a circular hellscape.
Good one. Buffer is a fully remote/distributed team with no office.

That being said, expenses like Internet go to the admin budget and not marketing.

Thanks for the question.
(I work at Buffer and wrote the budget article) :)

Kind of ironic to have an office expense category when we don’t have an office, right?

So to summarize, they have "10-Person Marketing Team" spending 93k/month total, with 2 major breakouts,
1. Teammate Expenses (73,225 + 9,402 + 367) = ~83K
2. Everything Else (or Actual Marketing) = ~10k

Why do they need 10 person team for $10k budget (actual money spent to bring customers in)? unless these guys are literally going door to door.

P.S. I'm not marketing professional.
Well, let me just do a quick text-based search for the Vec3 implementation and...

... oh. There's three. The one in mgl64, the one in mgl32, and the canonical one that a developer should edit to make changes. And they only all stay synchronized if the developer remembers to follow the contributor practice and run that gen script, which is not enforced by anything.

On a small project like this, not a big deal. But it's indicative of the over-arching problem of the approach go is necessitating here. There's noise here that a developer has to think around, and as a project scales up, that noise is going to become louder and trend towards intractable complexity.
Supermicro stock dipped down to 50 % or so (20->10).
I think the board that is pictured by Bloomberg is just an illustration.

For example, Elemental never used that board. See my tweets here for the actual specs: https://twitter.com/hugelgupf/status/1048160794565861377?s=1...

Elemental boards come with GPUs. The blade pictured has neither GPUs nor PCIe.

Lots of reasons. Not thinking you could find another job being one. Thinking that things will be just as bad elsewhere, so stick with the "devil you know" being another. A version of "battered spouse syndrome", but with employer instead of spouse, being a third.
The CIA maintains their own personal files and does not use the OPM. Granted, the theory is that China could cross reference the OPM hack data with foreign diplomats coming to China to find which ones are the spooks, but the data on spooks hasn't been compromised. At least not that we are aware of.

http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2015/0...

Former NSA senior counsel Joel Brenner called the material “a gold mine for a foreign intelligence service,” declaring, “This is not the end of American human intelligence, but it’s a significant blow.” (Points to the CIA, which refused to have anything to do with the OPM and thus kept its own employees’ information safe.)
This makes me wonder if they are stalking horses, and the real agents are not so bad at tradecraft

When I set it up with gmail tough, I think you either need a 2fa token (which requires 2fa on gmail) or tick "allow unsafe apps" in the admin panel, otherwise you get rejected by gmail. I'm sorry I don't have much info, it's already been a few months I've set it up. However, if anyone's struggling, I'll be glad to help ;)
Heh, my "backdoor" was clicking a broken shortcut in the program files menu, because it prompted you to browse for the executable. Browse to cmd.exe and you're good to go.
Similarly, I found a telnet: link would open Terminal, where open -a would open any app ;-)
Not sure I get the use case. We put down a small deposit for CC access. Moreover companies treat capital providers as commodities so if BoA offers better terms when a company matures then the startup ought to take it.

I use "seem" as I have not done a thorough analysis, so yes, anecdotal.
Amazing to me that their media budget is only $3,000. That is absolutely tiny! I'm curious why they don't do any programmatic (like display), and how they only spend $500 on search ads (I'd imagine brand-only terms would be over $500/mo).
Sure. Although the documentation doesnt make it explicit your .authinfo file can have a gpg extension and Emacs will encrypt and decrypt it for you using gpg automatically
Then you hire employees to do the shopping. It doesn't take too many sales to get to the point where you need employees to do the shopping and packaging if you're in eCommerce arbitrage.
We were definitely anticipating the movie. We saw it as a team. We had hoped it would do more for general recognition and understanding of VR, but I think that was not the effect. Obviously that was in no way the job of the filmmakers. They are there to make an entertaining movie, not advance the adoption of VR.

I will say though, the book itself was a big part of me personally deciding to get into this project after I left my last one.
I can't believe this guy wrote this whole essay just so he can brag about having an athletic girlfriend.
Maybe.... Wiring up all the seats wouldn't be trivial, especially in a concrete building, like the National.

Also, and I'm speaking from sad experience here, it'd be waaaay easier to persuade a sponsor to underwrite branded glasses than it is to solicit donations for an infrastructure project.

Though they may be less robust, if the glasses break you can hand the patron another pair; when the seat-back LCD goes on the fritz you'll have to move them to another seat, which is always disruptive, and not always possible.

Overall, I suspect the glasses end up being much cheaper.
The second generation chips mentioned in the Bloomberg article were fitted inside the plastic of the motherboard. I don't think it's a stretch to imagine that such chips might be really difficult to spot. And if they aren't the natural next step for a nation state is to build an xx billion dollar fab factory and produce smd "resistors" that contain one of these chips.

I think the real trick is a real covert channel that's hard to find both analytically and via stastics/machine learning.
I'm quite familiar with lojban, thank you. And you must have a high bar for content if a critique is considered a "shitpost."

Syntax and morphology are largely solved problems at the frontier of NLP. If you think that this is not the case, then I must ask by what metric do you make that judgement? We have machines that are able to transcribe human speech and infer intent with lower error rates than humans for the same task. QED.

Formal semantics was hard at the time that loglans were codified. It was hard until very recently in fact. But that is no longer the case: Davidsonian event semantics is now expressive enough to give exact, unambiguous semantics for every desired utterance. There are still many unsolved problems in the field of semantics, but they are problems of the sort "what's the best way to represent..." not "how do we reconcile the two main theories giving totally opposite results."

For an overview of the modern state of formal semantics I suggest this work, which successfully dissolved the last lingering major conflicts in the field:

Is there any Emacs-based solution to access a GMail account with 2FA, without enabling "insecure access" on Gmail?

I've looked at a lot of solutions, and AFAICT:

- SMTP + app-based passwords require "insecure access" being enabled

-Using the GMail HTTP API does not require insecure access, but none of the standard CLI email tools support it.

These kinds of speed tests where they just open apps and "measure" how long they take to open are extremely unscientific and aren't good indicators of a phone's performance. There's so many variables they never control for except making sure there's no apps in the multitasking view. They're barely useful for anything other than knowing how many milliseconds you'll save opening an app.
I think it would be surprising if self driving cars didn't launch in the next 10 years. Consider that most people never drive more than 10 miles from their home on a given day. It's pretty trivial to imagine even "limited" AI vehicles being able to serve vast swaths of the population.

In that case, likely a lot of people would want to not have to invest in the hefty price of owning, maintaining, and insuring a vehicle, let alone driving which everyone knows is more dangerous than most things a person does in a given day.

Twitter doesn't poison politics, people poison politics.
President Trump is democratically elected through a process that everyone bought into until it delivered a result that many did not accept.

There is also a process for the 25th Amendment that addresses dementia and other such concerns, via the White House Physician. Even if you assume that were to happen - President Pence and perhaps Vice President Ted Cruz, would not really change the political climate in the USA, considering a Facebook Executive who attends a hearing is also treated so poorly, I can't imagine President Pence or Vice President Cruz will be treated fairly.
In California, where the studio is based, it's not. There's a lawsuit from those who were laid off for this very thing.
I'm looking forward at the handling of the "corner cases" related to society.

E.g. somebody that wants to rob you could just stand in front of your car (or put some small obstacle) knowing that the car will stop (to avoid damaging itself and/or whatever is in front of it).

Even in the case of simpler tech which is generally available already today some unexpected problems might arise once people become really aware that it exists on 99% of the vehicles.

For example, in the case of an at least partially selfish person, why should s/he wait to cross the street if s/he knows that the car that is nearing has an anti-collision/auto-break system? I admit that I might even start doing that myself whenever I'm late for something, have to catch the bus, etc... :)

Might end up being a funny experience sitting in a car that has to do emergency breaking every other minute... :)
