It's what happens when editors and publishers see the success of long-form journalism, but don't understand that the 'scenery' language is just there to really flavor a driving story.

So we get a 5 sentence story that gets turned into this mess.
Where the current president became a reality TV star as a means to become president.
And what was his intent? Courts just ignored his statements. and the video made clear that is was comedic intent.

What do you think his intent was?
Only a small fraction of iPhone users have ever been to an Apple Store, never mind bought their phone from one.
Uneasy is the word I'd use as well. And in saying this I have to be honest and admit that I can't point to anything specific that's wrong.

Hillsong often get the plaudits (and the rap), but there are other similar movements. Worship Central and HTB here in the UK spring immediately to mind. I do go to these kinds of places from time to time and, whatever the organisation, you talk to the people involved: they're approachable and seem genuine, and they talk about empowering and benefitting the church and Christians at large, and I have no evidence to the contrary. All of which just leaves me feeling guilty about my discomfort, and maybe that's OK because maybe I'm wrong.

On the flip-side everything is so shiny: everyone you see ministering is beautiful and/or handsome and, although the quality of the music and lyrics might be questionable, the production values are excruciatingly high, and you're surrounded by people - particularly at the front - who appear to be going out of their way to model this kind of aching hyperreal trendiness.

Compare this with the composition of the average congregation (of any denomination) in the UK[1]. Even stepping past the issue of ageing congregations in many places, we're (and I mean no unkindness in saying this) a pretty miscellaneous bunch. In lots of churches you end up with all sorts having to get involved in making it work, not just those who are good-looking or loaded or "good people". There's space for everyone, and all can contribute, or at least that's what we aspire to - we believe in a God who calls the things who are not as though they are.

Possibly that last observation is rose-tinted when compared with reality, and possibly unfair on Hillsong and its imitators. Still, the contrast between Hillsong-like and most other churches does feel jarring and leaves me with that lingering unease.

Sorry: this ended up a lot longer than I expected.

[1] Note that I deliberately haven't gone down the route of comparing with the lives and lifestyles of Jesus and the Apostles, not because I necessarily think the comparison is invalid, but because: one, for many people I think there's a lack of familiarity with the source material that may render the comparison meaningless to them, and, two, because the societal and cultural situations are radically different, which makes any such comparison much more complex.
Which system do not create a power dynamic that can be abused? It seems like an shared problem, where the only reachable goal is to create safeguards so that when power dynamic create abuse there is some form of process to address it.

A democratic system based on popularity share all those problems attributed to meritocracy. Those deemed popular are trusted and respected more than those without. complaints about their behaviour are more often ignored or dismissed. When bad behaviour is too blatant to ignore, the punishment is often lesser, for fear of loosing influence and power.

What I would like to know is if meritocracy has a higher risk of causing abuse compared to other systems.
That IBM ad at the end is priceless on so many levels.

Thanks for the article. My grandfather was an accountant who preferred the slide rule to a calculator. I grew up with slide rules around me, and never could understand the logic.

Another tool lost in the past generation is the Abacus (here is a great story with Feynman[1]) and I would love more info as to how those compared in logic or use, if anyone can shed insight.

Serverless and Blockchain: New paradigm in application development
I actually own the SV model of this with the backup camera already.

It's an incredibly simple point A to B type car, but I love that about it. I can change the oil and filter without even having to jack it up, it's fuel efficient, and no touch screens. It kinda blew my mind when I was perusing new cars and there is nothing even remotely close to the Micra in terms of cost/value.
We found around 50 victims located in Russia, Iran and Egypt, typically infecting Windows 2003/2008 Server. Targets were related to nuclear energy, telecommunications, IT, aerospace and R&D.

Great. So because the NSA has crappy security (contractors!) the democratic West has just weakened itself against autocratic regimes that seek to control their people.

People that care about self-government and individual freedom have to start to recognize that the NSA - with its democratic controls and checks and balances - is far superior to an autocratic or dictatorial spy agency. And we only get to choose one.

One alternative would be an economy that spends surplus on large goals: infrastructure mega-projects, big science, interplanetary colonization, technological moon shots, etc. That would "soak up" a lot of employment, especially at the top, and have effects throughout the entire economy.

A lot of people find that distasteful because it implies a degree of authoritarianism beyond what basic income would require.
Intent of the law might be a better term, but it is clear that intent of the law makers does matter when it comes to court cases trying to decide the actual extents a law can be applied. Even the most legalese specific law can have major gaps depending upon how you read certain words. I've read court cases where judges had to go back to when a law was written, look at other laws, look at how the law was originally applied, and then take this all into account when determining if a specific action was legal or not under such a law.

There are a of lot reasons to game at 1080p

* You don't really want a bigger monitor than 24" for competitive shooters, because then you can't see everything at once. There is only one 1440p monitor in that size that I know of and no 4k monitors that I know of

* You want a monitor with 144Hz (or better!) and low input latency. 1440p and 4k monitors that do this are rare or non existent

* Easier to stream

* Overall appearance of a game at 1080p with more anti aliasing vs 4k with less isn't that difference. text being an exception of course.
Well, at least "Personal Jesus" kinda works in a gospel context if you read it as aspirational (think "WWJD"). "Spirit in the sky" on the other hand is New Age at best and cynical parody at worst -- the entire idea behind that song was "gospel songs seem easy to write, I bet I could do that".

I guess it's the musical equivalent of Poe's law: it's over the top and a bit insencere but the medium it mimics is already so over the top it fits right in and nobody bats an eye.
cultural marxism is an extreme right wing view?

eh? This is just the game now. If anything its theoretically liberating. Now all it takes is some smarts to do things as opposed to a massively centralised power.

The salary is less of a problem if you're growing old there -- Montreal is a nice balance between the US and major European cities, where there is a pretty big social safety net. You don't need to pay for health insurance, childcare is much less expensive, college if you remain in the province as well, there is paid parental leave, that sort of thing. You do have to deal with winters and traffic which some people especially as they age get very frustrated with.

At this point in my life I would not consider again working in the US though. There's a certain amount of "life" I need in my "work/life balance" and I'm not sure I can get it in a country where it costs two months' salary just to deliver your kid.

High temperature and strong winds on surface can be beneficial to machinery. You can fight with them or you can use their help to reach goal. IMHO, an AI system and physical simulator can develop some pretty interesting ideas how to use these conditions for efficient mining and transportation.

First idea: use wind to power instruments directly via mechanical or pneumatic link.

Second idea: use silicon to produce machinery and tools.

Third idea: high temperature means it's much easier to melt ores, some metal can be collected directly in liquid form.

Fourth idea: air balloons should be very inexpensive way of transport ores to top of atmosphere, where they can be picked up by colonists.

Fifth idea: use mechanical computers to control equipment. It's not so hard to create surfaces which will perform calculations required to navigation, landing, mining, and floating back to surface. Mechanical computers can be crawled out of silicon, with liquid metal for transportation of messages, and vibration can be used to power such computer. 100kHz vibration is easy to reach. At 100kHz, it will be equal to 1kHz electronic computer.

For those unaware of what automatic differentiation is: It's a close-to-magical tool which turns code for evaluating a function f into code for evaluating its derivative f'.

It uses a special sort of invented numbers which square to zero even though they are not themselves zero.

A big issue — at least in the US — is that American laws don’t work well because one American party wishes to destroy government to cut taxes on the rich.

Because that is their goal, they want government to work badly. So they obstruct change and improvement. Any system of laws needs to be changed as loopholes are discovered to improve the law. We can’t do that in the US because billionaires own one of our two parties.
It's kind of like learning how to program when you don't have any task to complete. Especially for a data store of some kind. If you've ever tried to learn SQL, even if you've got an example database, you'll find it's incredibly difficult not because the syntax is all that difficult or the logic is particularly daunting. No, you'll find it's difficult because you don't have any questions to answer. You'll feel, "Okay, now what?" When you try to make up a question to answer, it's difficult to tell if you're answering the question correctly. You need the focus that a real problem gives you. You need the guidance that understanding what the data means gives you (or someone else) to know if your answer is right or wrong.

It's easy to see what a tool is designed to do. It's very difficult to see what a tool can be used for and why you might want to use it that way, let alone when you might want to deviate from that or find alternatives due to limitations or new requirements. Or when you might need entirely different tools.

We learn best when we're working on a problem. Just like going to the moon required solving a lot of problems which led to major advancements in the 20th century, going to Mars, colonizing Mars, and colonizing the moon have even more challenges.

Goals give research and development a clear purpose beyond, "I dunno, make something people want that we can sell."

These benchmarks are conducted on the games "ultra" settings, which most of the time forgo any idea of resource efficiency. Games are highly configurable and often give the options to increase framerate a lot at a negligible visual impact, even just lowering the preset to "high" achieves this most of the time.

Also, with variable refresh rate, reaching exactly the maximum refresh rate of the monitor isn't very important.

The comment chain also referred to reaching "more than 60 frames on higher than 1080p resolution", there are luckily more options than 4K.
If there would be time travel "Witness the history tours" Berlin at that time would be a frequent destination.

Around that time so much fundamental stuff changed at once in the Europe.

In 1913 there was one square kilometer in Vienna where Freud, Jung, Hitler, Trotsky, Stalin and Tito lived. Hitler and Trotsky were regulars in the the same cafe. Then there was WWI. Albert Einstein was becoming famous, quantum mechanics was being discovered. Einstein and Henri Bergson debated 1920 in Paris.
>Earth at it's worst is much better than anywhere else in our solar system.

Today, yes. But the first step to terraforming a dead planet is to colonize a dead planet. If we take the first steps and commit to our colony there, maybe someday we can have a second Earth.
Not yet, but there's one coming in the next month!
It was a humorous but perfectly substantive comment to me. I give you some credit for at least responding.

Amazon Debuts No-Fee AmEx Card to Lure Small-Business Spending
I take it as a bit of a meta piece about how the knowledge of an individual in an industry should never be limited to only that industry.

As computer programmers, this is perhaps even more important (since we're rarely writing programs for the sake of writing programs), but it's valuable to every industry to have a well rounded and well educated individual.

More specifically, a welder who learns about quarks and neutrinos shows curiosity beyond "an electrical arc creates heat and melts metal", a trait present in individuals who strive to better themselves and their craft.
We spread as far as we could, with the technology we had at the time. Going over the next hill, over the next ocean, and so on was for the best even when we hadn't fixed all the problems at home.
Reminds me of the claim I've heard that everyone who has some impact on the design - including legal! - is a designer.
That is judges looking to "drafter's intent" to interpret the language used, something often necessary with very old/new laws. It is a standard tool. Spirit is different, grounded not in language and history but in lay opinion and emotion.

Deploying a Node App to Google Cloud with Kubernetes
Same here. I was really surprised to find that most people don't use/know about/want it.
Mega-churches remind me of this warning from Jesus: "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it."
On the other hand: the tech industry is/was mostly entirely unregulated so far. For a long time, you could do whatever you wanted. Which other industry is as unregulated as software?

For example, you could make an app that collects arbitrary amounts of personal data. You could "promise" your users whatever you wanted, especially in the health and fitness space.
> The placement of keys in such s way that they had a low probability of jammin

It's highly debatable, and arguably a myth. The QWERTY design predated any potential jamming problems. Perhaps it was so foreseeing? It's really hard to believe general ergonomy was the top priority, as all the characters of the word TYPEWRITER are placed in the top row, which could have hardly happened by sheer coincidence, but was very convenient for the sake of sale presentations in the early years...
Recently someone posted about a paper-based calculating tool where you had two or three scales and used a ruler to combine the numbers. There was even a Python package for producing them.

What was the name?
A lot of programming is more linguistic than mathematical. If you stay away from hard core algorithms, graphics, scientific computing, AI, and similar things, you're likely to be able to get by with high school math and algebra.

One big area is UI/UX, which usually requires little math but does require design skills and good intuition about what makes a convenient intuitive user interface. Unless you are coding a rendering engine from scratch the math you'll hit in UI/UX coding will be arithmetic, basic bit manipulation (AND/OR/XOR), and maybe a little algebra.

I think this is completely false. Do you have a source for that?
Edited to fix my very incorrect assertion. Sorry about that!
It really does.... :->
That's the point they're making. "Fuck it, it's a side project" acknowledges that it's not the right move, but that it's too onerous to do things the way they should be done. So you risk it and hope you have the time and money to fix it later before it becomes an issue.
I want an Internet with alternatives to Google who can compete, because Google isn’t allowed to automate QC. If a platform can’t control itself, it shouldn’t be allowed to automate the control incompetently and call it good, then hide behind algorithms.
Scientists Create Artificial Wood That Is Water- and Fire-Resistant
Law firms are famously late, but enthusiastic adopters of technology. Usually after all their clients are using it. For example the old blackberry -- law firms in New York were about a year behind, but once they tried it, they fell in love with handheld email. I don't think "smartphone" penetration was higher in any demographic circa 2005 than the ranks of Wall St lawyers.

There are a few contemporary services like Workshare that have made inroads in the arena that Autto is entering. Contract workflow is a pretty tough nut to crack. I think the mistake a lot of non-lawyers make when selling to law firms, is they assume that most contract flow can/should be entirely automated. But complex legal drafting is still an exercise that demands a lot of wet brain matter.
Is it “insidious” when only software developers fully understand edge cases and complicated dependencies? Or is that just how software works? Isn’t software by definition just a collection of many relatively simple rules and procedures?

Sometimes complicated systems are complicated. It’s true that lawyers can have a knack for overthinking things sometimes but fundamentally these concepts are difficult and people’s rights and responsibilities and obligations and agreements overlap in complicated ways that often just don’t lend themselves to anything but sophisticated analysis.
Whether or not that's true will vary wildly depending on where the institutions are located and who their clients are.
All that may be true, but there was no call to be such a jerk about it. Something like "Interesting, but I'm skeptical--do you have a source for that?" would have worked just fine, instead of implying that OP was as dumb as Loch Ness Monster believers.
Seriously. I used to run data centers on both coasts and we had easily a half a dozen eDiscovery firms and several regular law firms with big data center presences -- presumably because they're using some of those tools.

Hourly billing rates of $300/hr make law a juicy target for technical disruption.
New Macbooks: What we want vs. probably what we get
My spouse is a human lawyer. She's working now for a software company; she did her part taking it public a few years ago. She knows our trade pretty well.

The difference between a lawyer on the one hand, and a "jailhouse lawyer" (an engineer who does legalish work) on the other, are these:

The lawyer knows how to get things done to support the business. It's rare for a real in-house lawyer to tell the business, "we can't do that." More often, it's "here's how we do that."

The lawyer knows how to write a form contract (sales, lease, nondisclosure, etc) so other lawyers will read it and say "ok, that's fair" and sign it.

The lawyer knows how to read an incoming form contract to see if it's fair.

The lawyer has real relationships with her counterparts at customer and vendor companies. When a vendor tries to change terms, she calls her counterpart and asks, "what's this about? My business has problems with this. How can we get to yes?"

The lawyer knows that if a dispute gets to a judge, the remedy will be money. With very few exceptions there's no way for a judge to repair a business deal that's gone sideways. So the lawyer says, "anything but court."

At some level, the law is like computer code. But the computer code has been around for many centuries and it has been patched over and over and over again as needed to solve real-world problems: in the US and English system that's called "case law.". There's an adage that "hard cases make bad case law." Lawyers know the ins and outs of this stuff.

In my experience as an entrepreneur, when I've played lawyer I've generally overdone things to my detriment.

The US is definitely litigation-happy. That makes things tough.
