OTOH, you seem to argue that since you couldn't find any papers on that, doctors and media must be lying and c-section is just better. That sounds an awful lot like the typical conspiracy theorist.

I heard of that child once that died after it got the flue shot. We all should stop vaccinating now.
Interesting story. What would motivate farmers to support one ruler over another? Why would they care about being conquered at all?
That's pg's work.
Seems insanely far fetched to expect that similar techniques used to treat heart disease would work for the psychological, social, and biological factors that make up anxiety / depression. This type of reductionism isn't even that effective with the mechanics of the heart (as we see from the constant debate of what to eat to keep this "simple pump" healthy), yet these doctors expect to reduce the entirety of one's experience to something so simple? Modern psychiatry to me is beyond perplexing and truly at or below the level of doctors using leeches to clean blood. This type of reductionism and the heavy reliance on drugs that goes along with it truly is akin to those doctors using leeches. The irony is, those doctors probably spent more time talking to their patients and while they were obviously ineffective at treating heart disease, they were likely much more effective at treating psychological problems than modern psychiatrists because they were at least willing to converse with their patients.
I'm pretty much coming to the end of mine now. Except I feel burnt out from the sabbatical whereas I generally always felt pretty good at work.

I read a shit tonne this last 8 months and have noticed a big upgrade in my worldview. I shipped a couple of projects on my own which I'm proud of too.

I grew immensely from the experience and a whole bunch of things I always toyed with the idea while working I actually got to try out and see how I really felt about them and not how I thought I was going to feel.

The recruiters being suspicious about the time off thing is something I wasn't suspecting but I did get that vibe. I made a point to network the whole time I was taking off and have been invited to visit a small company I'm pretty excited about after an hour chatting to the CTO. Political savvy was one of my unexpected skills at my last job, so I feel like so long as I can get in a room I can get a job (provided I'm actually interested and think the company would be a good fit).

So many lessons learned. Perhaps both good and bad.
Yeah. That's exactly the motivation why I created it. It simply cannot be that in 2018 we waste weeks - if not months - on things as fundamental as packaging, creating installers, code signing and automatic updates. It's unreal.
Redmine seems like a very big tool for just one person though, with issues trackers and all.

Something like trello seems more the scale.

Personally I just wish it had TeX support. Does anyone know a good, personal project management tool that allows writing sections in latex?

Not as granular for sure, but there‘s a somewhat nice selection of dumpling places, diners, Chinese style Ramen, Szechuan food either in authentic form (rare) or in Japan-adapted (mostly Mapo-Dofu, Chili Shrimp). Then you get the expensive „imperial“ Chinese places and Fire-Pots. Never been to China but I can’t imagine a better selection outside of its home.

Well we're talking about intermittent fasting here. You'd gave to be pretty damn skinny for your body to have run out of fat to burn within 16 hours (max).
When I was implementing a simple hash table that needed to be fast, I did some investigation in this area.

I created a huge array of 32 bit ints - a few gigabytes in size. Then timed this code:

uint32_t checksum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
unsigned offset = rand32() & (TABLE_SIZE - 1);
checksum += table_ints[offset];
}

I was surprised to see it only took about 10 ns per iteration, which is 5 to 10 times faster than a DRAM access. Because the table was large and the access pattern was random, each iteration has to do a DRAM access (there is low probability of getting a cache hit).

The processor was able to execute 5 to 10 iterations of that loop in parallel in a single thread. Quite amazing.

The random number generator looked like this:

uint32_t g_seed = 12345;
uint32_t rand32() {
g_seed = 214013 * g_seed + 2531011;
return g_seed;
}
Public Intrusion Test Swiss Post
I see people complain about this a lot on Reddit. I personally take the view alluded to in the article that all supply is good supply in that it will drive down average rent in the long term. Calling something 'luxury' is primarily a marketing gimmick. No one wants to live in a complex advertised as "respectable housing for the indigent". A better way to look at these developments might be what their average square footage per intended occupant is. So long as these apartments aren't all pent house sized then they can always lower rents and still make the numbers work.

I'm curious what resources you folks have found.

I'm not talking about low level (but still ridiculously prevalent) stuff like simple SQL injections.

The reason I'm asking is I have an itch I want to scratch but it requires handling medical data (in the UK not the US) and I want to think very carefully about whether I want to do it.
They would have more to lose, less tax burden more autonomy.

It is okay for you to disagree with it, that was the story.
Do you fast, though? If you're used to eating before exercise, there'll be a big psychological barrier.
I'm puzzled by comments that describe this as a well written article. There are no new facts here; nor are there even any guesses as to what actually caused these detentions. There is no amazing investigative work, no deep unexpected insights.

What exactly does this article say to stand above the news media noise? I guess it does provide some simple analysis of the general situation in China, but even here it doesn't deviate from the well known story about how Xi Jinping is moving China back towards heavy handed government control.
Conv library for convolutional loops: no, you won't code this from scratch again
Method signature is not included in the count.
I’ve been through the process of signing up and acquiring access to TLO. I called them up and stated I wanted access, I’m a real estate developer and simply wanted to cold call landlords. They said they’d sign me up but I couldn’t specifically use it for unsolicited calls, I said ok and then still proceeded with my account creation.

Scheduled a required on site visit, where an very unfriendly Russian woman came into my apartment and checked that the following was in place 1) My computer had a password 2) I had a locking file cabinet 3) my office door locked 4) I had a business license 5) Paper shredder worked 6) dedicated office with no bed (I setup a mock office in my guest room and slide my guest bed into my master room moments before she arrived) also she didn’t catch that neither the lock on my file cabinet nor my office pocket door actually locked)

TLDR: Nearly anyone without a criminal record owns a computer, a business license and a bedroom can get an account.

We sat in the living room and signed some papers and that was it. I signed in and was amazed, TLO data is very accurate and up to date. It’ll even show people on various government watch lists, registered sex offenders, etc. The only thing it’s bad at were email addresses, at least for my target audience they were almost always wrong. Phone numbers have confidence percentages next to them. I would get very surprised calls when cold calling people like that. Some people run very profitable enterprises in that manner.

There are also FB groups of PI and ‘skip tracers’ and you can fairly easily befriend and ask to pull records for you for a price as to not have to sign up for TLO. Although this is expressly against their TOS.
you could probably golf this classic one with your method:

<div id=B text=snow bgColor=0><script>Ô=setInterval("m='';c=Math.cos;for(ô=0;ô<65;)m+='<p style=position:absolute;top:'+(42+(z=399/(73-(++ô+Ô++&63)))c(ô.9))+'%;left:'+(50+z*c(ô))+(z>>3?'%>.':'%;color:#456>.');B.innerHTML=m",49)</script>
There is nothing about the ‚why’. Maybe they had an engine problem past V1 and decided to go. The long go around can be explained with them having to focus on stabilizing the situation, maybe involving problems with the landing gear. Even with the severe damage, the inner cabin and pressurization must have been intact. Assuming human failure should come last, when we have no details about the cause.
I think the contrast of these two passages are quite telling:

>"Barnett says she and Asher worked together to ensure there was no abuse of TLO. Onsite visits would be made to clients, who would undergo a strict vetting process. Only those who passed muster were given a login, Walters says. “We were very selective.”

and

>"It’s used not just by cops but also by debt collectors and private companies carrying out background checks. Private investigators use it to track cheating spouses."

So giving access to debt collectors and PIs investigating cheating spouses is selective? I'm guessing the selection criteria is simply whether the customer has the $1,500 a month.

The other interesting part I thought was the levels of data weaponization going on:

>"Just as the crooks turned the turbo-powered TLO software on its head, cops used the Nests against their owners. In June last year, Postal Service investigator Berkland obtained a warrant ordering Google to hand over all the data related to those cameras. The company complied, shipping surveillance footage back, along with personal details of its owners."

Both sides in this piece seem to be thugs. TLO just appears to be a gatekeeper, they get to decide which thugs are the "good guys."
It is a question of also being overrun by other kingdoms
I hate articles introducing three-letter-mysteries and leaving the readers in confusion. To add insult to injury, none of the comments seem to acknowledge that the topic is impentrable.

What is the mysterious ILS that was hit?

Even after reading the Wikipedia article, I only have a vague idea - seems to be a radar system, both on ground and in the air. Did the plane hit a radar tower?

Yp, meet the new boss. Now I guess there's patriotism but back then no one cared, no newspapers and no Facebook. If basic rule was maintained and taxes stayed the same why would they care? Other than maybe "god given" rights to rule. This King is the rightful heir so I'll support him...
New ALPHA-g Detector Poised to Search for Signs of Anti-Gravity
Didnt seem to get the point of the article. Does anyone have ideas?
BTW, is there somewhere suitable that I can write-up and publish this information without going to the trouble of a formal academic paper?

I spent months also learning a few things about how the virtual memory page table, memory controller and DRAM subsystem work. I suspect this will be useful to other people and it would be nice to have a forum where this research could be discussed.
Arm or leg, choose one...

With so many planes having touch screens on the seat in front of you I wish they'd get rid of the service cart altogether, let people select what they want and then deliver it as convenient.
And those libraries tend to have been hand-built and/or with special-purpose tools.
This is great to see. Pretty tired of hearing about unicorns that have used marketing and buzzwords to create a cult-like following by throwing around an epic conference to blow their own horn.
No.

> The risk of having a massive tear (ie vag to arse(4c tear), or literally tearing a new arsehole) is 1 in 4.

Yes and it usually heals very well. The tissue there is made to deal with that. My sister had that happen 5 years ago, it even continued into her gut for a few cm. So that was a very bad case, but it still healed perfectly, although it took about 3 month.
> opening yourself up to a claim if you decide to package it up into an app

Even though there is public domain tech from 2014 using it? (@nilknarf's).

I was under the impression when something is part of the public domain there can't be a patent claim on it.
ILS stands for instrument landing system. It's a set of antennae that produce radio signals to guide the aircraft to the runway. The plane must have struck one of those antennae.
Why do you think you need to be particularly introverted or introspective in order to be able to reflect on yourself? I'd say it doesn't matter what kind of person you are by birth. If you aren't able to reflect on and evaluate your experiences, you're going to end up in places you probably didn't want to end up in or as a person you don't like.
What's the Difference Between Versioning and Revisioning APIs?
My wife is in the medical field, and she’s the one who explained the advantages to natural birth. There are definitely advantages which have been proven, fewer complications and quicker recovery. I think patients should still make the choice given the information.
Hey there, I wasn't aware you had worked on the same thing (and 4 years ago!). Amazing, my hat is off for you.

Did you continue to experiment with it? Improve the experience? Try out different approaches?
> Even YC, which invests more than this program, doesn’t care about ideas that much.

that's incorrect - YC tried a batch for founders without ideas and the results were very bad.

For someone like me, who is overwhelmed with the ideas, I can't even understand how an engineer or a power user can't have any ideas for a large or growing TAM.

EDIT: they're probably have ideas, but think that their ideas are not good enough, or afraid to sound stupid.
Well, elections resemble reality TV more and more, perhaps that is an angle that could work...
Google ramps up G Suite protections against government-backed attacks
Sorry for being naive but:

"A lot of 30+ women decide they don't want to piss their pants and have painful intercourse for the rest of their lives. "

Is this a real risk of vaginal child birth? And how risky is it?
Awesome, would love to see your product!

Which subreddits are you involved in? I like the idea of those resources being a sense of community for you—but for me they feel like kind of the opposite—mostly akin to anonymously shouting into a hole hoping someone will listen. I kind of like the idea of something like TinySeed because of the lack of anonymity with the potential to forge real relationships. Would love to hear your thoughts.
I saw you use IPFS in there, are you sure it did not use one of their signalling servers to find the peers?
This iPhone analogy is full of crap. Apple delivered the fisrt iPhone with the software it needed to be, in itself, very usefull! The app developers came after, when a user base had already been created.
This might provide the government the opportunity to shutter it for good.

Caraeff says that 50,000 user accounts have been created there. He wouldn’t tell me the number of times the software developer kit has actually been downloaded, though he said it was fewer than that, or the number of Leap headsets shipped, which was fewer still.
> I'm glad. I don't like paying baggage fees (in fact, I've started to travel much more with only a carry-on partly to avoid the fees) but this is one of those things that the market should decide.

Yeah, that sounds like a classic case of "not my problem, therefore it shouldn't be regulated".

If some group of passagers have no choice but to fly and also have a hard minimum of baggage they need, there is no market force to keep baggage prices low. So a pure market solution would have them climb ever higher.

> It's an extra revenue stream for airlines

The original rationale for baggage fees is that added baggage makes plane operation more expensive. I guess, treating it as an "extra revenue stream" is at least honest, but is something that can be justified a lot less in regards if usefulness for society.
The XPS line is significantly cheaper than the MBP, at least in the UK.
I'm sorry to hear you could not get it to work, this means I have to improve the flow. I tested this using Chrome and both Android and iOS devices (chrome and safari).
The catch is that you gotta point the series of qr codes towards the center of the camera.
It surely is science fiction today but from a physics point of view there's nothing that would make it impossible. So as a physicist I'd say it's merely an engineering problem ;)
Both options work in Mobile Safari.
As many have replied, taking it is apparently still legal, just not smoking it on board.

I also assumed it a total ban, and I wondered if the tobacco lobby had something to do with it: legend has it that the govt wanted to ban bringing lighters into the cabin after 9/11, but the tobacco lobby intervened. And guess what, nope they were not on the banned items list.
No argument of substance was made.
It’s most misused analogy. If you have crappy product that no one is buying, compare it to iPhone v1.

Not being a particular fan I've not tried better, but I don't think Wasabi is considered particularly good or authentic Japanese food. Sort of like to Japan as Chopstix is to China, but perhaps not quite as bad.
> everybody can build up their own decentralized telephone network

Nice. I'm very interested in being able to connect devices in areas where there is no Internet and using a mobile router, like in the mountains or in a bus trip through deserted areas.
It is rational because the costs are being passed on to our (the 99 percent) grandchildren, not to theirs (the top decision makers).
Yes -- I basically outright refuse to do any coding when someone is watching.
Probably not without signing up, I posted my process below.

In my experience if you’re in the US they have nearly every past address, licenses, license plates, social, credit history, name and phone number (landline and cell) that you’ve ever used and a list of mostly incorrect email addresses. You’re whole family tree living and deceased and all their data. All sorted by date and searchable off any one or more piece of data. It’s fairly frightening.

Plus a bunch of low confident guesses of data that ‘might’ be yours. And pictures of some people if they’re on certain lists iirc.
However, then you can't argue anymore that "the market" will handle it. Because even the theory behind that requires that market participants are informed - which they evidently aren't.
I didn't say that hormone changes lower your resting metabolic rate. They simply make your body be more inclined to store fat. The enzyme that I mentioned LPL, becomes more active and stores more fat.

Have you ever wondered why men and women tend to put on weight differently? The same enzyme is involved. For men it's more active around the waist. For women, around the thighs.

For a thorough treatment of this topic, I recommend the book Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes. It goes into the biology of why we get fat. Note that it's pretty strong against carbs, so depending on your beliefs, you might not like it. Although, I have to say, it makes a pretty convincing case on why we should lower carbs intake.
I think this patent has been mistakenly granted this year:

https://patents.google.com/patent/US20160021148A1 (see the "grant" status line)

I think it should not have been granted there being prior art, but for it to be turned over, I think it would have to be challenged in court. That's my limited understanding as a non-US person without any experience with patents whatsoever.
Amplify+AppSync client SDK support is pathetic compared with Firebase. No official support for Flutter, Xamarin and Unity apps.
Oh wow, R-Type was one of my favourites on the Spectrum, had no idea about the book! Thanks.
I think it depends on the audience and in this case the site is flightradar24.com. I also had to google that BTW.
The idea in this article is that mammals and a blind cyprinid have evolved in the dark and this explains the lost of this mechanism (evidence that mammals might have evolved in the dark). It was not necessary to keep a defense against UV that plants, fungi and other animals still conserve. The part that troubles me is the "but the other creatures still have it".

UV rays do not enter well in the deep water layers so marine fishes living under 60m deep shouldn't have any use for this mechanism. Why mammals had lost it and those fishes still keep it?

I would suggest to read the former statement as "but most other creatures are still untested for the mechanism".

Or maybe we are missing other possible explanations here. I'll add a different hypothesis: "because (or this is evidence that?) placentate mammals have evolved in the dark of a womb and other animals have external embryos (like kangaroos) or have delicate eggs".

My hypothesis would be that the real purpose of this mechanism is protecting the embryo development when even a small punctual UV damage could trigger a cascade of much more serious consequences. This would explain why marsupials and other fishes still need it but diurnal placentates not.

Crocodyles, Platypuses or marine turtles that dig nests in the soil still keep this mechanism?.
> Audio requires good microphones, which are too expensive to be commodity

Huh? MEMS mics cost cents and multiple of them are frequently used in phones to get a pretty acceptable-quality (almost good!) signal.
Side Projects are deadweight to employability
To my naivety, I spent almost 2 years building my own projects. First was a food social mobile platform. Think IG Story x Yelp. Took me a year to build from concept, design, coding, marketing, etc. I would say it's a good portion of Snap’s mobile app interface, built out by 1.5 developers (1 being me).

Then did a Bitcoin LN Wallet, from concept, design to code, took only 2 months.

I am quite proud of both, even tho they were anything but commercial successes. With funds running low, I spent the past 3 months looking for employment. Hoping these polished project will shine me in good light.

Was I completely wrong. Nobody cares. Being a bootstrap developer I admit I am not the most academic when it comes to the projects. I was from an EE background from school, and was in embedded Firmware for almost a decade. I didn't know creating a 3rd table to track Reputation/Likes between a user and a Story is a database concept called 'Joint Table'. I have no idea that creating an equation to decay reputation inputs is called 'Freshness'. I’ve done hundreds of things in the year. I can barely remember half them, let alone with precise terminology in a time constraint settings. One thing I can show is everything is open sourced on Github. If point questions are asked about my demo, I can reference my code and explain everything.

It seems like in today's world, nobody cares about experiences or what real product you have launched. It’s all about algorithmic puzzles in 45 min and describe hypothetical systems with academic terms. I can build an entire social media MVP by myself. But I can't get a job maintaining Settings menu for a (shall be unnamed) unicorn with a very similar app, which said app needing a headcount of 3k to keep running...

My advise is, if your side project didn't become entrepreneur success, they are useless dead-weights. You might as well spend your time reading CTCI and doing Leetcode.

Rants over... Help much appreciated..
