I've played a lot of high level bridge, and a fair amount of mid-level poker.

You are definitely correct that there are a number of transferable skills between the two games. Interestingly, a lot of these concepts are much more elaborated in one game or the other, such that playing one game will make you a better player at the other. In fact, I actually picked up poker to improve my bridge skills.

For example, counting an entire deck is a critical and basic skill on bridge, and gave me a significant head start in poker. On the other hand, the psychological game is definitely applicable to both games, but is indeed much more developed in poker than in bridge. For example, in poker the concept of 'tilt' (being in a state where emotions are clouding judgment) is quite well developed. There are treatises on how to recognize that you're on tilt, how to get off tilt, how to deliberately play to put your opponents on tilt, etc. There is nothing written about this in the bridge literature, but at high levels it's hugely applicable.
Agree re not explaining how it advanced his career. I did something similar about 10y ago. Was burned out so skied all spring, hiked and went abroad during summer, did a small amount of contract dev then gradually decided it was time to get back to real work. Don't necessarily think it helped my career nor was I expecting it to. Had to explain to recruiters and companies the gap in my resume which not everyone could relate to ... but ... so what. I had a lot of fun.
Jonathan Blow's commentary isn't anti-ECS. It's more skeptical of Rust's borrow checker, more specifically he's pointing out how the original talk ends with bypassing the borrow checker and copying a pattern that would have equal safety in C or C++.
San Francisco's politicians are treating the symptoms of the problem and not the root cause. Homelessness has increased because markets are not functioning due to poor governance. You could cure the majority of the problem by allowing developers to build more housing and removing caps on rent increases to tenants.
Agreed. I have been studying fish oil and coconut oil at great length recently due to affects it had when I was trying to repair gut issues. Many websites give the positive effects of the omega-3's and the MCT's from Cocnut oil, but leave out important facts such as fish oil being a blood thinner and anticoagulant. This can prevent wounds from healing and even causing significantly greater damage.

In my opinion, people should start with topical treatments for arthritis first, such as blue-emu or penetrex cream, as it is safer (not entirely safe, but much safer) than ingesting anything that is a COX-1 or COX-2 inhibitor, or that acts as a blood thinner. I mention Cox-1/2 because many other supplements are in that category (Curcummin, Aloe and many others) but people may not understand what that can mean for them. A lot of folks take Aloe for Arthritis, but not everyone should. It depends heavily on your gut lining and health.

I am reaching a point where I can probably debunk most of the health websites and I might make some youtube videos on the topic, since many of these sites are harming people by not giving them all the facts. NIH being the number one offender. For some time, I thought those articles were vetted and peer reviewed. A few of them are, but most are not. Anyone can publish write-ups on PubMed it turns out.
I addressed that in the response - and admitted that, yes, it is an assumption against the largest attack vectors.

>OTOH, they might throw everything and the kitchen sink in under the assumption that they'll be caught quickly so they want to capture as much as possible before they're kicked out.

If I felt the risk was large enough to be concerned over - I'd fork and backport the patches and compile a personal version of FF 36 with critical bugs patched. I'll be honest in "possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors" is not one of my highest security concerns and a concerning amount of these are only possible when running Javascript. In fact, the most concerning issues I saw are video codec related. Reading a few of them, they require me to decode/play the video in the browser to trigger so I can probably avoid that by downloading videos to watch locally in a media player instead of through Firefox.

The severity of a bug doesn't matter to me as much as how trivial it is to exploit and how it needs to be exploited.
What's unfair? Admitting so many of them, or charging so much?

Not saying I believe in one side or the other, but from a standpoint of avoiding detection I think firmware hacking goes out the window.

A deep-pocketed attacker isn't going to risk flashing the firmware with a non-oem one on a brand new board leaving the factory. That probably gets quality inspected somehow later on anyway whereas a visual inspection is just a rubber stamp (IE: OK if the box isn't crushed or wet).

Not to mention a customer in the field who experiences problems is likely to report their firmware version to Supermicro support, whose poking around could expose the entire project.

There was an article recently about how hardware is "magic" and the IT world mostly takes it for granted. Putting an extra chip on the board but making it completely transparent to software debugging techniques is the best way to go. The board is almost certainly going to be flashed at least once and probably audited several times in it's lifespan by IT, but the hardware is never going to get more than some compressed air blown on it. Nobody repairs these things at the component level on a scale that matches how frequently firmware gets flashed or checked out.
That was my revised comment - I have seen the light : )

JavaScript, finally fully embracing its Lispy roots.
I'm not sure if I understand correctly. Are you saying that you run venv commands as part of the build step for your containers (i.e. a RUN line in you Dockerfile) and then pip installing modules in another build step?
Microsoft and others would be foolish to simply abandon their patents while today's patent system remains intact. That would probably also be a really good way to face a massive shareholder lawsuit.

There are many companies still that are not part of OIN so Microsoft is allowed to use those patents if it has to as part of a legal strategy if they are sued for patent infringement by another practicing entity that isn't part of oin.

The Microsoft of old certainly did a lot of harm to open source, or at least tried. However, companies are collections of people not monolithic entities that have a single consistent viewpoint forever. Its leadership has changed, and it has brought on many strong open-source proponents in positions of Authority or influence. I'm not saying that I "trust" Microsoft, but I do think that the company has evolved and can be a positive influence and contributor in open source.

You also say that none of the founders of oin want the patent Wars to stop. I really don't think that that's true particularly if you look at Red Hat or SUSE, though I may be biased because I do work for Red Hat and have worked with Novell / SUSE.

Microsoft is a corporation and it exists to make money. It does not and cannot operate on ideals alone.

I wish Google would let me pay to just have 0 ads and maximum privacy. I would pay a lot for that and I would be a happier user since all my pet peeves seem to come from them dumbing down products so they can fit ads.

Dunno if RSS is the example I’d hold up of a controlled spec success story. Worked fine if you only ever had links, titles and, sometimes, some body text.
The jury's still out on if this was good for your career. The title is borderline clickbait due to this word choice.

I don't doubt taking a sabbatical was good for you in various ways, but your career is probably not one of them as of now.

I've taken numerous lengthy sabbaticals, and find them the only way to maintain anything resembling a fair work:life balance. But I am under no delusions of them being good for my career, they're practically explicitly anti-career - I deliberately walk away from the competition for extended periods of time. I've just chosen to not care, because I prioritize other aspects of my life differently than one who lives to work.
People give value to the currency, if we stop using it it becomes just paper. Maybe that would apply for gold standard backed currency.
Somewhere between 70-90 percent of unsheltered people became homeless here. This shows there’s a displacement crisis. It’s root cause is a lack of housing. But we can’t only build our way out of this problem while people with jobs are being forced to live on the street, their car or an RV.

SF needs to do something until they can build enough housing to stop low income tenenats from being evicted. Measure C is one such way to stem the displacement crisis. If the homeless census ever starts to indicate a majority of unshelteted people are from out of state then we can talk about different ways to tackle the problem.
There's a causal connection in both cases:

When a lot of wealth is generated by a city, a lot of people attempt to move there to cash in on it. The number of people who physically can live in a city is limited by the number of housing units available. If they don't build new housing, then for every person who moves in, another person is going to be displaced, whether that be moving elsewhere or ending up on the streets or moving in with other people. Market mechanisms ensure that the housing that is available goes to the people who are willing to pay the most, which is generally the highly-paid tech workers in SF & Seattle and the financial types in NYC.

The solution is pretty obvious: build more housing.

It's also independent of the amount of wealth that's generated, or whether the new housing is high-end gentrified condos or low-end affordable housing. If the new housing is high-end condos, then all the tech workers move into new construction and people who otherwise would've ended up homeless stay in their existing apartments, or move into the run-down apartments vacated by the tech workers. If the new housing is small affordable units, the high-end tech workers stay put and the homeless move into the new construction.
Yes. You are aware that you are spinning even without external reference because your outer parts are accelerating toward your inner parts. This is the feeling of spinning in a circle on earth too.

This is how plausible simulated gravity works too. A ship spins. It doesn’t require a reference to know whether it’s spinning.
And ironically, yours does not!

The problem with Manhattan in particular is that by and large the Japanese-American population is not on the east coast.

To have decent restaurants from a certain ethnicity, you do need some significant population of that ethnicity, and at least some of those people who are lower or lower-middle-class. Having moved to Seattle from New York, the Chinese food here is much worse; Seattle has a large population of Chinese people, but the vast majority of those are college-educated and working at tech companies, and are not a likely demographic for opening or running restaurants.
I'm just saying that the websites are short sighted when they attacked RSS.

Nope, your view is exactly right.

Benioff, Dorsey battle on Twitter over SF ballot measure to help homeless
>I'm happy for you but this is a super privileged viewpoint that most people can't really learn from. I'd be happy too if I could just take a year off and do whatever I want. Most people can't do things like traveling to different cities and trying out a new place for 3 months.

Most people 18-25 can.

First, tons of people at those ages actively burn tons of money on BS like a useless college degree (and not even the kind that lands you an actual job). Not doing anything would be an improvement for them (and cost less).

Second, you can do that with no money at all (tons of people do it on $5 a day style, or getting some work where they travel to pay for the costs, or just using one of the several of networks where you can exchange places for free, etc.). I know lots of people at that age that work for a few months and live off that for the rest -- and I'm not talking about making a full yearly wage on those months, they just live on little. When you're young a futon and a few pieces of stuff will do. (I actually know older people living like that too -- in cultures where not following some career and making do with little is not considered "white trash" or "hippie", e.g. in the countryside in Europe and so on).

Also, you seem to be harshly criticizing the author and what he done in this span, but how are your choices working for you? Not great from what we read in your comment.
IMO the family is actually much better off, especially children. A big part of the problem is over valuing the addicted parent and the shadow life they should have been.

Not fixing the problem let's them keep a lot of blame for reality being far from expectations on the new environment, and probably that is pretty healthy. But it doesn't mean this solution is actually wrong.

Yeah, that's the entire security incident. So are you saying you expect software companies to never have security incidents? Now that's ridiculous.

> I think everyone knows that "works" on paper.

You'd think so, but people with science or math degrees have said, it doesn't work for me, even though I point out that we're talking about laws of physics, not about willpower. Never mind the average person. The average person will not agree that "eat less, exercise more, guarantees weight loss".

Regarding your other point, I know that everyone is looking for a shortcut, trick, or something that works for them. I'm saying that with the insane volume of unreliable studies and advice, it's simpler to ignore it all and try one rule that will work.
Snark aside, it is good to take a step back and re-evaluate life priorities. And also importantly, to be more mindful of work life balance... and if you're in a position to do so, advocate for more positive balance between the two at your next workplace.
Recycled. Japan has a very strong culture of "carry your trash around with you until you find the right bin", and a lot of self-sorting. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling_in_Japan

The companies making these products have to pay the recycling authority for waste management in proportion to the amount of trash they generate.
Yes, on linux you could do this with FUSE, in principle you would still need one empty temporary directory as mountpoint, but that can be placed in a tmpfs, e.g. under /run/user/ by convention.

Unfortunately, it turns out this is not a completely self contained binary - it's more of a packer. So if you pack a Java app, you're still going to need the JRE, and if you pack a .NET Framework app, you're still going the .NET Framework, etc.
Except Thai food! The Thai government has a strong program of funding American fast-food startups by Thai citizens
From the POV of folks working around massive server farms, all the servers are disposable, so having one binary is convenient, and the short lifespans mean they avoid the downsides.

The concern has more relevance to client applications, but then the cost becomes related to update strategy, and if every app is tied to an update manager process(whether it's an app store type of thing or a custom one) then the thinking becomes similar to the cloud server setup: Why bother, I'm going to blow it all away in the next update.

When the dependency management is exposed to users, there's a much bigger surface area for troubleshooting and support. It makes sense that devs favor static if they expect the whole environment to be disposable. It isn't like it was in the 90's, where patching was occasional but major new versions were essentially new products.

I'm one of the unlucky 400,000 who had the most information stolen. Complete notification:

Is my Facebook account impacted by this security issue?

Yes. Based on what we've learned so far in our investigation, attackers accessed the following Facebook account information:

* Name.
* Primary email address.
* Most recently added phone number.

Additionally, the attackers also accessed other account information, including:

* The following information associated with your Facebook account:
* Username.
* Date of birth.
* Gender.
* Types of the devices you've used to access Facebook.
* The language you choose to use Facebook in.
* If you previously added this specific information to your Facebook account, it was also accessed:
* Relationship status.
* Religion.
* Hometown.
* Current city.
* Work.
* Education.
* Website.
* The 10 most recent locations you've checked in to or been tagged in. These locations are determined by the places named in the posts, such as a landmark or restaurant, not location data from a device.
* The 15 most recent searches you've entered into the Facebook search bar.
* People or Pages you follow on Facebook.

A small subset of Facebook accounts, including yours, had additional Facebook information made available to the attackers. Learn more about how this information was made available. This is specifically information that appears when viewing your own profile and includes additional information, such as:

* Posts from your timeline.
* Your Friends list.
* Messenger conversation names, but not their contents.
* If you are a Page admin, you may have also had messages to your Page made available to the attackers.
* Groups you're a member of.

Based on what we've learned so far in our investigation, the attackers did not gain access to certain information, such as:

* Account passwords.
* Payment card or credit card information.

> mandates that airlines allow passengers to check strollers if they are traveling with small children

This one is a little odd to me, especially since the law [0] doesn't mention a limit to the age of the child. I can see where a stroller is considered necessary for the mobility of the child, just as a wheelchair or walking frame might be considered necessary for an adult but every time I visit America, I see parents pushing around children that are far too old for a stroller. It seems really odd to encourage this.

There should really be an age limit. I understand that American politics would never accept a reasonable limit like 4 years old but everyone should be able to accept that a 10-year-old doesn't need a stroller.

By passing out a bunch of degrees to unqualified students a school is essentially printing a currency that will eventually be recognized as worthless. One could see this as a tragedy of the commons for everyone but the highest tier schools.

Blah blah... "With the economy strong, unemployment low, and tax receipts at record highs, now is the time to cut spending and bring the federal budget into order."

Uh, how about we just stop cutting taxes for people & corps that are in the top few %? These "trickle down" policies have been repeatably proven not to actually boost the economy. In many cases its been shown that we are actually boosting foreign economies more than our own.

Not only that but most "spending cuts" are really just backdoor tax hikes. Cut the road budget, give eminent domain easements to big corp/bank which builds a toll road and pockets 50%+ of the tolls as interest/profits. Cut higher education spending $1, raise tuition on students $2. The best ones are the ones like cutting spending on "women's health" that comes back as 2-3x in medicaid spending. It just goes on and on... One party is insane, the other is afraid of them and won't speak up for fear of the next election (despite actually being the losers for last last 40 years).
> If you are a Page admin, you may have also had messages to your Page made available to the attackers.

That seems to stand out to me as a bit of an outlier. Depending on the kind of page that an affected individual operates, that could be pretty big.
