They deployed on a Friday. They should have known better :-)

Sorry couldn't resist and hey, it's also Friday today.

I wonder if it was aliens and they made it just slightly interesting without making it look completely obvious. Then they'd monitor and see how we would react. Would we be able to detect. Would we go chase it? Beam microwaves at it. Do we have the capability to fire projectiles at it.
Their content is often excellent. It's just that they often go overboard with their headlines. Have heard this complaint multiple times in my network.
The CSS grid was much-needed in Webflow, but I found the implementation to be pretty unintuitive.

There's a few examples I've run across. One is copy + pasting text, links, or images into the grid - maybe it's just the way I'm using it, but it doesn't let me paste an object into the exact grid box I want intuitively.
It's a silly justification anyway, as far as "feed previews" go: you preview a feed when you're thinking of subscribing to it, which isn't expected to be an everyday sort of action.

I hope they wouldn't consider removing the option to select which application to use to open a particular file type, or to install an add-on, based on the percentage of sessions which use it.
You're absolutely right! There very much is such a scale.

Even the companies who are the very best at communications will tend to struggle to communicate clearly when filtered through a press that have strong incentives to construe everything as a data breach. Lay people reading either of your statements will tend to stop at "there's no evidence" and go "What do you mean, 'no evidence'!? I want certainty!". Witness how readily and widely this whole G+ event has been mis-reported as MASSIVE DATA BREACH.

While you're completely correct, perhaps there's room for subtlety here.
How to train your drugs: from nanotherapeutics to nanobots
Oh wow that Microsoft dataset!

I played with a dataset like this from OpenStreetMap, and other Geographic Information Systems data (did you know the US government makes freely available 10 meter resolution heightmaps of the entire continental United States? And in some places better?). It was a lot of fun, and a mild bit unsettling, looking at this publicly available data, and tracking down childhood homes in backwoods communities and seeing very accurate footprints of houses.

The GIS community has built absolute metric craploads of tooling to work with all this data and play with it. Check out https://www.gdal.org/ if you are interesting, and QGIS [https://qgis.org/en/site/] for an open source data viewer.

I used all this support and data to build a silly script to take in that heightmap data and turn it into a 3D model that could be imported into Blender (or other software). I'm currently "stuck" at trying to overlay freely available road data over that terrain.

I thought the trick was you spin the egg, then stop it - a raw egg will continue to rotate because the fluid inside is moving, but a cooked egg won't restart because nothing inside it is moving.

This link shows a hardboiled egg spinning on its end, but otherwise seems to agree with me, though it doesn't quite contradict you: http://www.planet-science.com/categories/experiments/magic-t...
This doesn't sound like it was controlled for simply eating less calories.
It's generally interesting to think about how old ways of identification may be unnecessary. Why is gender so relevant, on the one hand, and then on the other, what dangers lurk in more precise identifiers?
> 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.

That's like saying "There are no secrets to space flight: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. It doesn't matter if that involves Hydrogen, Hydrazine, or just big tubs of water -- throw them one way, and you'll move the opposite. Your choice of fuel doesn't change physics."

Of course fundamental physics laws hold. But some fuels and systems of using those fuels are more effective than others.

When it comes to diet, different foods and eating patterns do have different effects on our endocrine system, and that does affect how viably we can sustain ourselves on less calories. Different foods will also have different proportions that are retained vs passed the same day.

Unless you also capture ALL your own human waste, and measure it in a 'bomb calorimeter', counting calories (intake only) is not nearly as useful as you seem to think. If you disagree, drink 2000 calories of olive oil every day and eat nothing else, then come back after a year and tell me that calories are all that matter :) Disclaimer: Don't actually do that, because you would starve to death.

The boss of me: myths and truths of self-employment
If you aren’t diabetic, you need to do hours and hours of intense cardio to Bonk (run out of glycogen).

As long as you’re not doing whole day fasts, I don’t think the burden of effort is any higher than the protocol you’ve outlined.

When beginner discipline is the subject, simple rules tend to work better. Your confidence following simple rules allows you to then tolerate more complicated regimes.

Edit to add: Personally, I don’t agree with ADF but for strength training your muscles are rebuilding for days afterward. If you’re trying to gain muscle quickly you’ve probably already decided ADF isn’t for you. But to maintain or gain slowly? I’m not sure it’s going to slow you down that much.
This is the biggest issue I see with the act, but I don't think it's too terrible.

'57 recording will end up with 110 years of copyright instead of the normal 95, but 1923 recordings will unambiguously enter public domain three years from now.

In return, we get pre-'72 music standardized under federal copyright law. It'll streamline licensing, and given that state copyright laws can allow for perpetual copyright, I'm hopeful this still represents a modest improvement.
It takes between 2-10 days to reach ketosis and switch from using carbs for energy to using ketones. Burning ketones also brings less energy than burning carbs, which would not be ideal for cardio.

There are plenty of ways to optimize fat burning/weight loss beyond eating fewer calories. When you eat matters. Working out in a fasted state will accelerate fat burner vs working out after eating a meal. Eating a similar number of calories in a keto diet vs a carb-heavy one while maintaining a calorie-deficit will also accelerate fat burning/weight loss.

Yes. Watch HN in the next week or two for an announcement that may interest you ;).
Maybe he intended it to be a heist, but it surely ended up being a costly fiasco. His fund is in the tank, and his personal fortune most certainly took a huge hit.
Of course things are not so simple. Calories in/calories out partially applies to weight gain/weight loss, but it's not the complete story. Hormones also play a role.

That's why people start to gain weight as they grow old, even though they eat the same. It involves testosterone/estrogen and an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase.
It takes effort to purchase, install, and configure MikroTik products rather than just using the router/AP combo you got from your ISP. Anyone who has done that is capable of patching occasionally. [EDIT:] And actually now that I've read TFA I learn that many of these are actually "edge" routers used by ISPs on their own premises. There's no excuse for an ISP not to keep up with patches.
HTML is the format. You pack it with images, CSS and whatever else, and you have the distribution format.

> Web ARChive (WARC) provides method for bundling all the stuff in file in one file, but that's not enough. Plus the files will be quite large.

Not enough how? What is there that you need besides what the server hands to you, if that's what rendered in the first place? What magical compression methods do you have in PDF that are better than ZIP compression used in MAFF, for example?

> You just don't know how your HTML and JavaScript renders 10 - 15 years from now. If you look old Web Archive files you start to see how they become crap over time.

Have a static HTML version that's rendered the same in the future. You know, the same way that you have a static PDF standard.

How do you render Javascript in PDFs in a standard way? You don't use Javascript, that's how. Javascript is not for publication of static semantic text, so you don't use Javascript for papers, it's a no-brainer.
Cops Told ‘Don’t Look’ at New iPhones to Avoid Face ID Lock-Out
Fasting followed by cardio is a thing. It's called "bonk training". Running out of glycogen is the whole point of it.

It supposedly helps your body make the switch from glucose and glycogen to body fat and ketones more smoothly. It might have been useful for triathletes and marathoners, if they weren't eating glycogen gel during their races now. You'd carbo-load, hit the wall at mile 20 or so, and just keep going at 80% your normal athletic capacity instead of 70%, because you trained for it. But now, you'd just be left in the dust by someone who has been sucking on a tube of glycogen gel and thus never hits the wall at all.

I suppose it would still be useful for weight loss, if exercising while bonked wasn't self-torture.

Dr. Valter Longo says you need only 5 days of fasting.

I've been working this year on exactly this problem. I "inherited" responsibility for one of our vendor's Windows MFC codebase which makes gratuitous use of threads and every obfuscated/side-channel form of nonfunctional data flow known to C++. It's like a mirror universe rendition of Erlang created by a sloppy idiot savant using nothing but Windows messages and public class member variables.

(For example reading config values from the INI file gets its own CWinThread-derived custom message pump, so that both the initiator of the read and the handler of the result value can be different threads in different .cpp files. I found one CWinThread which was merely being used to RAII one unrelated member variable and whose constructor constructed a 3rd unrelated object two stars (pointer dereferences) away. Its run loop was empty (for gosh sake).)

The reason for this monstronsity was that the program was written by a fresh college graduate from the peak of the era when CS professors were saying "OMG concurrency/threads/cores every processor of the 2010's is going to have 128 and doubling weak cores and if you don't multithread all your code you're part of the problem not part of the solution." Then this fresh college graduate was thrown into a hardware company whose software department still parties like it's 1999 with MFC / Win32 in C++. And he created... this cosmic horror.

As you can imagine, stack traces are useless to me here. Logging is nearly useless (because the app is always doing more than one thing, even when it has < 1 thing to do). Breakpoints are useless to me (the args mean nothing; public members and global variables hold all the relevant state - but they could be anywhere).

What I ended up doing was adding Sqlite to the codebase, and created "causality log" database. It's sort of like a call tree, but not. It's sort of like a flow chart - but not. And it's sort of like a UML chart, but not. It combines aspects of all of these; after testing a feature of the program I run a post-processor on the log data to turn it into a dotGraph file so I can render it as a graph.

For example it might tell me that thread object A created thread object B which then was given pointers to the following 3 global objects by assigning B's member variables ex post facto. Later, a windows message came from dialog X and B handled it in event handler B.h() and passed the data onto dialog Y.

That's the goal anywhere - I have 2/3rds of the above paragraph implemented; what I have left is figuring out how to pass a "causality" tracker value to shadow windows message sends.

The way I created this causality logging system is that my log-to-event-database functions return an id to a row, and I (had to) change the code to pass these ids (parent_id) through constructor calls and function calls, etc. I find the non-local destructive assignments of public (should be private) class member variables, and manually log those occurrences. All of these ids provide a chain of provenance for causality and reachability. Because they are database ids rather than call stack frames, they survive the return of any one call frame.
The calories in/out model is technically true, it's just not very useful. It's like saying "there's no secret to how a jet plane works, you just need to have enough lift to counter gravity, it's basic physics." Well, sure, but there are a lot of other variables to consider that will dictate how hard/expensive it is to build a working aircraft.

Playing with other variables besides calories, like the specific foods you pick and the timing of meals, can produce dramatic, measurable health changes and make a huge difference in how hungry you will feel at different times of day.

EDIT: I just saw the other reply someone wrote that used a rocket analogy instead of a jet plane analogy, funny how we both independently came up with such a similar response.
Wow, it's like the two extreme endpoints of "Powers of Ten".

Are you really considered “bootstrapped” if you take on funding? Even if it’s a year’s runway, still seems odd to call it “bootstrapped.” But then again, maybe I just have a narrow view of what bootstrapping is. I view it as using your own money (often from the business if possible) to fund your company’s growth. Would love to hear others thoughts?
I don't believe the situation you outline is the case in reality. Dollars are not, in a sense, "debt" to the Fed. I don't owe the Fed a dollar because I have a dollar (you could make an argument that inflation actually makes this statement false, but that's a different argument outside the realm of Debt).

A Treasury Bond is more the opposite; its a debt where the treasury is the borrower. The simple goal of T-Bonds is such that the government makes an assumption: the rate of GDP growth (and thus taxes) will outpace the rate at which they have to pay back their interest. This has almost always been the case, including today.

> I don't see the sustainability of this system unless there is a "constantly increasing supply" of wealth

There is a constantly increasing supply of wealth (lets call it by its real term: Productivity). Our population is increasing. And we're getting better at building technology. These are the two primary sources of increased productivity. When Productivity goes up, GDP goes up, and taxes go up. Debts get repaid.

Maybe this isn't sustainable over the long term. But nothing is sustainable over the long term. That's not the point of an economy. If you like toilets, and iPhones, and $5 shirts from H&M, and HackerNews, then you have to respect that it works for us. And it'll probably work for our children too, because as long as we keep having children Productivity will increase.

Here's another way to think about it: We are on this planet for 80 years. That's it. We need to engineer systems that maximize those 80 years for every interval of 80 years every person has. That's why we have Debt; otherwise our only Wealth would come from (1) inheritances, and (2) our intrinsic Productivity. That doesn't sound like a great system to me.

okay mom ::rolls eyes::
Yeah, an easier formulation would be:

noveil(...) to mark pathes we plan to use (fails on veiled pathes), and a subsequent veil() that irreversibly removes access to everything that was not protected by a noveil(...) call between this and the last veil() call.

If a veil() call never comes, well, then we did not restrict access at all and only spammed some kernel structure.

If all you care is protection in case someone gets codeexec in your process, then this would be simpler and give additional features (we can incrementally drop access, instead of only once).

I see an advantage of the unveil(...) in that: Suppose my process cannot irrevocably drop access, because e.g. it anticipates to need to write to some pathes we don't know already. But still, the unveil can help to mitigate stuff like directory traversals: I can't lock (unveil(0,0)), so codeexec is still game over; if my code for late unveiling has bugs it's game over; but if the late unveiling code has no bugs, but the actual file access code is buggy, then this construction will protect me.
I'm going off a first pass through the paper, but it appears that what this paper shows is that the training error can be 0 on an entirely randomized data set, but the generalization error - the difference between the error on the test set and the training set, does increase dramatically as label corruption increases.

My understanding is that cross validation does multiple combinations of splitting the input data into test and training sets... so if cross validation measures the generalization error, wouldn't this catch the low predictive value resulting from randomization of labels or input?

I'm not saying the paper doesn't have value, but I think it's more about the fact that neural nets can obtain a training error of zero on randomized data, not a testing error (or generalization error, which represents the difference between training error and testing error, as far as I can tell).

To be clear, I'm not an expert, and this is just what I gleaned from a first pass over the paper.
He specifically said he doesn't judge anyone or attach shame to accepting free health care. He doesn't accept it because he doesn't need it as much as others and does not want to take it from someone in greater need. Your position is anti-social and akin to attending an event where there are treats available for children, but you take them as an adult and some children get none, but you feel no shame.

True enough. And it does get tiring having to click "no" all the time on those notification dialogs.

But again, this is a very nascent idea. I've spent more time thinking about in the last 20 minutes than I had in aggregate before today. I'm not convinced that there isn't a way to make something like this work, but the details are a bit fuzzy. Of course it's also possible that it's just a dead-end from the start. But it sure feels like there needs to be some way to distinguish "apps" and "regular content" and the way browsers handle each.
I just want to qualify point #3 "It can be monetized and marketed." This was once true about 7 to 10 years ago, but no longer. There are some that work tirelessly for years hoping for a pay off at the end, the vast majority of which you'll never hear about. I just don't want people to get a false impression about their chances of producing a monetary success. If you're hoping to make money off your game and just getting started: view it as a lottery ticket.

Other than that, yes, producing games is lots of fun.
