As part of routine work some pressure sensing equipment was erroneously disconnected from the gas main causing it to read low causing more pressure to be supplied to that main (which the disconnected sensors obviously didn't register). Alarms were triggered but there was no system in place to automatically shut the line down or bleed pressure so no corrective action was taken until after a few houses blew up.

What I really want to know is why certain houses had gas explosions and others didn't. It's basically an open secret in MA that most plumbers are terrible and do the bare minimum because our laws force anyone seeking to follow the law to give them business. If poorly executed residential gas plumbing was a contributing factor it would be nice to see at least one person responsible raked over the coals for hand tightening gas pipe (which many of them do because "it doesn't even need to hold one pound of pressure").

Slightly misleading to say Angular is in decline when you group Angular 1 and 2+ together.
Does anyone know a good way to view RSS in Safari? I'm tired of getting "Safari cannot handle..." errors when debugging RSS. Even if I can just view the code, I'd live with that.
It's like saying there are no secrets to computing and to just imagine a computer as a Turing machine, forget about stuff like pipelining and caches and whatever. On the other hand, I do believe the supposed "secrets" have actually been known for a long time. Here's my favorite article about it: http://www.grubstreet.com/2018/03/ultimate-conversation-on-h...
I feel the same way about Pocket, and I didn't like the idea of Screenshots being merged into core (was a test-pilot extension for quite some time before). I have found though that Screenshots built-in is really nice for less technical users, especially for some more "complex" screenshot types, like webpage only, or full page screenshots. I rarely use it, but I've gotten many of my less-technical co-workers to use Firefox's screenshotting feature quite often.
It was a really cool project and I think the first to offer this kind of features. Sad to see it go.

But right now jsDelivr supports both GitHub and npm as source for CDN files. So here is an easy tool for migration https://www.jsdelivr.com/rawgit

Picking the nits here: They did not have any evidence of abuse, because they threw the logs away after 14 days...

I'd consider that at least a disingenious reading of "we have no evidence that bad things happened".
> Intermittent fasting seems like it'd wreck your body if you do moderate to intense exercise.

That just seems highly unlikely from an evolutionary perspective: food sources for most animal species tend to be inconsistent and require physical exertion to exploit (especially for predators).

If hungry + physical exertion = damage, you'd expect that to get weeded out of the gene pool. Human populations have certainly gone through regular famines and starvation during our history, while still needing to farm manually.
Unlike E-Mail and landline phones, unsolicited calls and messages on mobiles and in regular mail are not illegal. Perhaps because both USPS and AT&T make a decent amount of cash off this.
Not sure what you mean? If he were to eat that well calculated amount of olive oil everyday his weight would stay constant.
I'm so confused why people are posting this. I agree fasting is viable until you run out of fat reserves (that's what this study is showing).

My point was that the type of food your calories consist of does matter. If you do nothing but drink olive oil and multivitamins, you will lose a lot of weight and eventually starve to death, no matter how many calories you consume. The point is that the type of food you eat does matter to weight gain/loss (not only the calorie count), because the type of food affects how many of those calories you actually retain.

As far as I can see, this study provides no evidence (nor attempts to) that a diet consisting of nothing but olive oil can sustain your weight. I think it's quite well accepted that different kinds of food will be retained to differing degrees in your body (or put another way, different types of food will end up being passed through your system in differing percentages -- as well as with differing degrees of nutritional satisfaction per calorie ingested).
And enlightened. Better in thought and better in results. For those prone to pride as a motivator, it was a lovely philosophy.
Did you read TFA? It seems that you are describing prior techniques for ultrafast image capture, whereas this technique is for capturing single, non-repeatable events.

> Using current imaging techniques, measurements taken with ultrashort laser pulses must be repeated many times, which is appropriate for some types of inert samples, but impossible for other more fragile ones. [...] The first time it was used, the ultrafast camera broke new ground by capturing the temporal focusing of a single femtosecond laser pulse in real time (Fig. 2). This process was recorded in 25 frames taken at an interval of 400 femtoseconds and detailed the light pulse's shape, intensity, and angle of inclination.
How is this any different than the rest of the world? If you want your food delivered you should probably give them a findable address.
There are no secrets to weight loss. Eat fewer calories than you burn. It doesn't matter if that involves keto, or vegan, or one meal a day. Thyroid problems also don't change physics.

The point of the article is, the timing of feeding vs fasting leads to differences in fat storage.

The work of Dr Fung, among others, suggests that concentrating eating into a few (4-8) hour period per day causes better outcomes than feeding during the entire waking period.

Same thing with the balance of macronutrients. Tuning the ratio of fat:protein:carbohydrate can make a diet more filling and more sustainable on fewer calories. This enables that "calories in / calories out" rule to actually work and cause reduction in stored body fat.
>the sheer weight of Javascript and DOM work, followed by making more web requests than necessary.

can you (or anyone) put this into quantitative terms? How much are we talking about here? I realize this is a bit off-topic, but the topic is "every byte explained", so I think the people who are interested are in the right place to discuss it.
> Source code isn't really necessary. Nor sufficient for that matter even if it was there, you'd need verifiable builds

Actually it is sufficient. On macOS one can install homebrew and add the build from source option. Most Linux distributions provide similar facilities.

Of course on can go Hardcore and use Gentoo, but yeah, in that case verified builds + OSS are the more efficient option unless on has access to a cluster.
The premise you've presented fascinates me. I wonder what would be the impacts of a 2000 calorie olive oil diet. Is it truly a starvation diet (due to inability of the body to process those calories)? I generally agree with the "calories in, calories out" principles of weight management, but I could see this being a useful counterexample.

I do not think so. Mahavira (Jainism), Buddha and countless other saints have preached the benefits of such diets for thousands of years in India.
The stack of Epson AIOs I have at home says otherwise. I actually find the Epson's the worst, because if you don't print with them regularly (every couple weeks) they are permanently ruined. Something something microtubules you can't clean in a print head you can't replace.
Well, that’s certainly up to debate - but please note the “consumer” qualifier there. I do believe that for an average non-experienced consumer, it offers better security over Windows (fewer viruses, App Store launched earlier, etc.)

I should have added “desktop” there as well, otherwise I would say iOS is the most secure consumer operating system these days.

That is not the case, from the article that you criticized:

> The first time it was used, the ultrafast camera broke new ground by capturing the temporal focusing of a single femtosecond laser pulse in real time (Fig. 2). This process was recorded in 25 frames taken at an interval of 400 femtoseconds and detailed the light pulse's shape, intensity, and angle of inclination.

Obviously they're only recording extremely small timeframes with this setup, but it is indeed real time.
Hedonic adjustment as it's called and the weird games governments play over housing is a part of it, but not as impactful as you'd think (I looked into this some time ago).

There's unfortunately a simple reason why costs like housing and education can explode without triggering inflation - if everyone reallocates their spending to these two areas, they are buying less in other areas. Less demand = lower prices. That is, a rise in prices in some areas does not imply inflation goes up even if those areas are very important.

That said I do think the "mystery" of where the inflation went is easier explained in other ways. It's not housing or education necessarily. It's debt and stocks. The bulk of the money poured into investment assets that aren't counted in inflation stats at all.
I have no sources to link but from personal anecdotal experience, ~3$ a TB has been the average for every dedicated non-cloud provider I’ve used. I’ve not paid more than $10 a TB in quite a while.

This is not even counting bargain sellers like OVH, Online.net, Leaseweb, and Hetzner.

Higher tier datacenters like IBM (formerly Softlayer) offer 100tb dedicated servers for ~200$ through their affiliates and/or resellers.

Bandwidth prices have been on the decline everywhere except the cloud providers, who I honestly believe are gouging. Especially when I’ve encountered terrible throughput on some of them (I’m talking about you Azure, and your non-standard MTU mess)
Rip off your fellow taxpayers while you still can!
Those pages in figure 2, that have 5% coverage PER COLOUR may be representative of the median coverage, but not of the mean. Watch some middle school kids print out their homework. That one cover slide with a coloured background, or the few slides with full page photos, may have close to 50% coverage per colour. Even if only every tenth page is like that, the mean coverage will be twice the median.

No, I don't think mikestew is arguing that. But it is also true that Lampert is trying to be a leach on what is left of Sears. (Whether or not he will succeed, the intent is there.)

Also note that the difference between "leech" and "recycler of misplaced assets" is thin to non-existent.

That's awesome. Improving the copy + paste interactions would definitely make it a lot easier to use.

I actually just started using Webflow a few weeks ago, so I didn't even know that CSS grid was a relatively new feature.

Overall, I really like Webflow so far as it's made the design process so much more iterative for me. I actually export the code (code export was a game-changer) into my own Django project, which gives me more configurability. Kudos to you guys for making a great product!
with RSS it was decentralized, you could "follow" bloggers and website directly. Now news are own by big companies like FB or Twitter and it's kind of sad. If you want to follow someone you have to comply to FB or Twitter
in orders of magnitude: about 10^13 * 10^-44 = 10^-31 ... not very close. If you amplify planck time to 1 s, a frame of this cam would take about 10^14 times the age of the universe (10^17 s) in comparison.

I'm a fan of the X1 Carbon line; my current home laptop is a 3rd-gen that I grabbed on eBay for cheap a while back. Might leapfrog to the next model when it's released, but the "Alexa for PC" integration is kinda sketching me out.

I know it's just factory-installed bloatware at this point, but I'm concerned that before long Amazon's going to be paying off OEMs for physically integrated spy hardware, and while I love my ThinkPad systems, Lenovo's willingness to include Alexa makes me nervous.
I've had this issue with LaTeX produced docs before (scans bad actor).
Similar project of mine that connects a phone to a PC browser using a WebRTC QR code so you can use a pen / touch on the phone to create drawings on the desktop:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvsm84xL9Sk
(https://github.com/phiresky/webrtc-remote-touch-pen-input)

Sadly it needs a (tiny) server component to exchange the initial connection information - using a QR code in both directions is smart, but also pretty annoying for the user.

Burgers are terrible food. They are addictive and are loaded with empty calories.

This matches my personal experience. I found the gains acquired while IFing - exercise at around 8pm after work and fasting afterwards until noon the next day - to be very consistent and lean.
A reputable company that deserves it's reputation is probably not hosting phishers pages on their site. Sure, shit happens, but anything above a micro company that's hosting pages should catch that. The shared hosting company I used caught a breach on my personal page once, another time Google notified me: it's not rocket surgery to catch these things is it.

If the company is too small to monitor their own pages then I'd expect them not to be worried about this sort of liability (ie knowing of a breach, they're too small to be sued for much, presumably: if they were bigger they'd know about it already).
> what are the odds?

100%, because it happened
The implementation you are discussing sounds pretty elegant. I am most familiar with Power BI from a data viz perspective, but have used most of the enterprise viz tools out there.

The thing that always struck me about Power BI (and also Qlik) is that it is very much a model-first tool. Visualization is secondary to the model, to the extent that much of the friction I see in new users has been treating it as a reporting/layout/visualization tool when, in fact, it is a data modeling tool with a visualization engine strapped on.

One of the big drawbacks with Power BI is that it has a terribly inefficient implementation for propagating filter contexts for visual interactions (this is their translation of your "auto interactivity, which propagates data (dimensions) pulse along the network"). I do not know the internal implementation, but I am relatively certain that visual interactions are ~O(N!) in the number of visual elements on a report page, based on my experience of performance scaling across a wide range of reports. Regardless, one of the best practices is to limit a Power BI report page to a small number of visualizations (recommendations of the cutoff value vary, and types of visuals can also impact this).

If I understand you correctly, you are calculating the minimum set of recalculations/re-renderings necessary, based on the data element that a user has interacted with. This should be something much closer to O(N) in the number of visuals to propagate user selections to other visuals. I am making an assumption that most visuals should interact, as typically the scope of a single report should have a high degree of intersection of dimensionality across all report elements.

I do not know of any analytics engine that exposes the sort of DAG and associated API you are discussing, either. The reason for my initial question was simply because that sort of engine is a product in and of itself. There are plenty of columnstore databases (and following other paradigms, but optimized for OLAP workloads) out there. It seems like biting off a lot to tackle both the data engine and the visualization tier at the same time.

The big reason that I ask is that this sort of approach to visualization seems to me to benefit greatly from a data model that supports transaction-level detail. The type of interactivity that you expose is extremely powerful. I have seen interactive tools hamstrung by data models that do not allow sufficient interaction. As soon as you put interactivity in front of users, in my experience, they want to do more with the data. If you are limited to datasets that can live comfortably in the browser, that seems a showstopper to me, as it will require pre-aggregation to fit most of the datasets I've seen; pre-aggregation negates many benefits of interactive data exploration.

I'll be taking a much further dive into your product either this weekend or next. I'm very interested.

I've worked as a security analyst at a company and sometimes I would report phishing pages to the webhost. After a while, I realized that half of my emails were being silently quarantined by the company's outbound spam filters due to the included URLs. I was able to manually release them, but I wonder how many emails will then be flagged on the receiving end.

> they can think of themselves as John Galt-esque ubermenschen.

Of all the heroes we could encourage people to have, is John Galt really so awful? He's described as bright, hard-working, self-reliant, but also collaborative and supportive of the work of those around him. He's driven and entrepreneurial, but not anti-social. He doesn't come across as anti-government so much as desiring government that isn't kleptocratic or set on regulatory capture. So... is any of that so awful?

There's a spectrum here... those who praise Rand and Objectivism might do so with a bit too much fervor. But,I'm skeptical toward those who turn up their nose with disgust.
This particular effort seems to be a mix of fun, braggadocio, and altruism. Could this sort of thing be organized with a social network and a list of tasks/problems using a tool like Trello or Jira but for solving any problem? The result would be anyone in the world could help/volunteer to fix real problems with free time.
Use:
1) Problem is posted
2) Investigated and confirmed to be real
3) Volunteers start to fix and swap solutions
4) Extra people are recruited as necessary
5) Problem is solved and wrapped up.

I'm on a fresh Debian install and using a VPN. At some point I need to lock down my home router and flash the BIOS on some of my more promiscuous computers.

I think we're misunderstanding each other. What I don't get is where you're getting the evidence for this claim:

> If he were to eat that well calculated amount of olive oil everyday his weight would stay constant.

A source for this is needed. The study you provided, as far as I can see, says nothing of this. You're just assuming it's true, and I don't understand how/why.
Mr. Fantastic: A (Focused) Response to Roubini’s Senate Testimony
It's been true in my experience. Operator overloads are marginally beneficial and for some reason they're prone to be abused. Put differently, `Add(x, y)` isn't any less maintainable than `x + y`, but the former is pretty much never abused, while the latter is a popular abuse target.

I've been writing Python and Go extensively for the last 10 and 5 years respectively. I really recommend giving Go a shot; you can pick it up in an afternoon and it really complements Python well since it excels at a lot of Python's weaknesses (parallelism, performance, static typing, static compilation, dependency managmenet, etc). For example, if I have to write a CLI tool, I almost always use Go since it's so much easier for coworkers to install a single binary than a Python program + dependencies + make sure you have the right version of the interpreter installed.
They exist, here is an example:

I'm not nit-picking, but your mention of "gold standard" got me thinking. What is Google the gold standard of? They have the top search product which is built on possibly gold standard software, server and networking technologies, but beyond that, are they considered the top standard in anything else? Maybe privacy and security should be important to their business models over the long term, but I'm not sure there is a unified coherent thought in the company's mind that better privacy and security help them make money with search, which is their chief priority. In other words, they can make heaps and piles of money every day with bad privacy and security, and I don't think they were ever considered a gold standard for either of those.
A Arc, B Arc...
I think ethbro is saying that focusing on absolutely secure systems would drive up costs, not that if we make them more expensive we'll somehow get more security just because they're more expensive.
I'm sympathetic to people living near where they grew up or where there family is at. I live where I live because of family. If it weren't for them, I would have left after college and never looked back.

Cities are inherently expensive. The more people you have wanting to bid up the limited amount of real estate in a city, the more expensive it will get. This pressure could be alleviated with higher density housing, but no one has a right to that.
