It's a nice exercise, but I don't see t going anywhere.

1st. I don't see that many bugs in the TCP/IP, filesystems, etc. specially those exploitable by black hat hackers, specially remote exploits. We usually see wide-spread vulnerabilities in the middleware like OpenSSH, which is in the userspace, putting everything in the app is not going to solve that, quite the contrary, we need to wait for the library maintainer to fix the bug, for the applications to integrate with the newer version of the library, and then, update all the applications.

2nd. Side-channel attacks. I'm not really confident in letting applications have that low level of hardware access. I mean, it's really easy for one application to steal the resources from another. We need authority if we are sharing peripherals. Well, we have one peripheral already that is shared by processes, that's memory and look at the mess that is a modern MMU and all the attacks on those that we have seen throughout the decades.

3rd. If we are going to implement that as a shared library, the result is exactly the same as today's micro and hybrid kernels, if we are not going to save memory and implement that as a static library, it's exactly the save as virtualization.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
Let's not do that until we have a way to make non-DOM-based web applications accessible to screen readers and other assistive technologies.

I ravenously consumed The Simpsons for most of my youth and loved it. I watch it now whenever I get the chance and love it, but life happened. I don't like my kids to watch it so they don't grow up Fd in the brain like me. Having a bad kid as a role model I think does impact children.

It's also not the only game in town. Cartoon network quality has gone way way up. I used to watch 3-hour cartoons on Saturday morning, and the simpsons et. al on Sunday night. That was it for cartoons on TV. Grandparents broke out VHS tapes occasionally as well. We didn't have a lot of options so The Simpsons was mind blowing. Not so much anymore.
Anyone interested in sitting posture and chair design should read "The Chair: Rethinking Culture, Body, and Design" by Galen Cranz.

It's a fascinating analysis of how chairs impact posture and the related biomechanics. It shows why oft-touted "lumbar support" does more harm than good, how attitudes to chairs and posture are affected by cultural expectations, and why there is no perfect chair, but with recommendations for how different chairs manage different tradeoffs -- she ultimately most highly recommends high stools which allow the body to maintain a 135° angle with full foot support -- which the saddle chair accomplishes.

Interesting! Macro substitutions can expand to anything of course. I hadn't really considered adding lambda functions to that list.

Richard Clarke talks about his belief that stuxnet had numerous checks in place to limit collateral damage: "it very much had the feel to it of having been written by or governed by a team of Washington lawyers."

I think that purposefully built malware will have those checks hard coded into them in order to limit exposure. Will there be programatic flaws that cause it to spread farther? Yeah, that can happen. Q&A always is the first thing that gets cut.

I would suspect that the usage of more open ended tools/implants will have scope applied/enforced at the human layer. You don't want an employee going wild and knocking over everything just because they have a new 0day.
In a country with mandatory military service, this is a meaningless fact.
One possible problem with this - I listened to the Simpsons commentary tracks a long time ago and one comment the writers gave was that episodes were hashed out in the writers room, and everyone contributed jokes. Once an episode was hashed out, one or two people would then be assigned to put it together. This would mean an episode could be listed as written by a specific person, but the best jokes in that episode could have been written by someone else. One of the writers mentioned they'd often get comments about how funny their episodes were, but then the person they were talking to would bring up jokes that were written by the other writers.

However, the graph at the end kind of shows this, the earlier people had the best episodes. It may have been that they had better chemistry.
Compare to China and Russia who imprison and kill journalists and Interpol leaders, and have no democratic oversight.

If you don’t like the way NSA is governed, change it. That’s the power of a democratic system. But when the choice is between autocratic and democratic intelligence agencies, the choice is clear.
Constraints creation also tricky because in transaction it take ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock (eg. lock table on READ/WRITE) and spend time to constraint validation (CHECK, NOT NULL, FOREIGN KEY), so lock will be released only on transaction commit/rollback.
> When I can run a personal server on a personal device and serve content to thousands - some of whom may want to peer it, if it's interesting enough - then we may see a genuinely free Internet.

Uhh... you can do this right now.

Like most people you may not have the skills or equipment necessary to do so, but 100% anyone can do this today, down to hosting their own DNS server. (And then they can discover that it is much cheaper to pay someone else to do it for them.)
While I admit the logic is somewhat tautologous, that's not quite the conclusion I'm drawing. I, first of all, look at the average rating of the writers involved in the show, and then look at how the make-up of the show's writers is substantially different in the early years vs the later years.
Alright, this looks neat, but I'm having a terrible time figuring out what's going on with the benchmark. Typically for AD, it's easiest to see four things: number of variables, time to compute function directly with no AD, time to compute function with AD enabled and calculate the gradient, ratio between these two numbers. Then, we run the same example with a varying number of variables to see how things scale. The advantage of reverse mode is that, theoretically, this ratio is fixed and bounded at 4 or 5 regardless of the number of variables. Realistically, this is much higher, but I think it's fine if it's somewhat between 10-40 times function evaluation as long as it scales. I can't figure out what their ratio is or whether or not it's appropriately scaling. Can anyone else?

We forget that people are extremely varied, there is room for everybody. An infinite God probably doesn't create only ~3 "right" ways of worshipping, living, serving, teaching, etc.
> you're doing one thing — provoking excited emotions and feelings in a group context, just as would happen at a well-produced secular concert, or a moving, personal comedy show — and implicitly or explicitly claiming that it is a personal religious experience. Many times with young people who don't know the difference.

That is a very thought-provoking perspective, which I think I'll probably be chewing over for a while - thanks for sharing it.

There are a few themes in the list, one is sound. That is why I think Shakespeare is recommended. Even native english speakers have trouble with the old language, but the sound of the words conveys even when the diction fails.

An architect should know QWERTY because it is a form and pattern that people are familiar with. One part of architecture is informing people how to use spaces without instructions and to do so, an architect must understand the patterns they are already familiar with
Lately, I've noticed people are saying "I mean, ...". I hear it and automatically think it's a bit odd because they did not attempt to articulate anything before that, so they did not need to restate anything.

I've noticed myself that I've done it a few times.
I listened to the DVD commentaries of many of the early seasons and the writers/showrunners complained about how the episode length was slowly cut back (though I'm having a hard time finding good data online about how much) and this directly impacted the quality of the show.

They specifically called out the inability to write compelling "B" stories within the episode, which often are what gave episodes some greater depth.
Honest question: If these are so great then why didn't they take off at some point in the past few thousand years? If they were at least equal to conventional chairs you'd think they would have since they obviously require less material to make.

If they are not complicated, then there are no appeals right?

And no law journals, no need of knowledge of precedents. In fact, why even have lawyers?

I went to a few Hillsong events about 10 years ago, when the church was becoming very obvious cultural influence Australia-wide. There is a lot that's very entrepreneurial about this church. They also started Gloria Jean's, a big, international Starbucks competitor. Like the music stuff, this had to do with youth culture and creating social aspects to the movement.

In Australia a lot of people called the denomination "charismatic churches" which is largely overlapping with "evangelical" in the states, where it comes from. The larger family of denominations has been growing and internationalising at a serious pace.

In any case, when it comes to religion, opinions are.. sensitive. But, I think the recent history of this religion is worth learning about, for those interested, just because they've been "making things happen". Religions are pretty diverse structurally, from one another.

Hillsong and related movements (mostly descendants of American evangelical denominations) tend to be quite decentralised. The Church (institution) and the church (building/parish) are almost the same thing. They don't have a traditional, top-heavy hierarchy (bishops, cardinals) and they don't have a traditional local parochial structure.
cool, I think things are moving in a direction where 4k high level gaming is going to be more possible. The dell monitor is still only 60hz so isn't going to be desirable yet, but that could change soon.

the other issue is input latency which is hard to find specs for. I have an old dell 1080p monitor that is a total outlier on that end and I never want to give it up!

but yeah, with more 24" options, higher refresh rates, and the latest nvidia cards 4k, 144hz gaming is going to be viable soon.

I won't buy one. Their quality has dropped way down in the past few years. I got one of their vacuum cleaners in 2005 and it worked great for years. Picked up just about anything I tried it on. Then a family member decided it would be good as a shop vac and that was that.

So I got another one around 2010 and it is terrible. It is flimsy, makes this obnoxious screeching noise when you use the hose, and, worst of all, it has very little suction power. I happened upon a relatively cheap Bissell vac and that thing puts the Dyson to shame. I'll never buy another Dyson product again. It's clear to me they've decided marketing is more important than quality.

If you want to have referential integrity there's no other choice. Otherwise you create tables that have no relation to each other. No one stops you from doing this, but then you probably don't want an RDBMS in the first place.
Planet Simpson was published in 2004 and has a very similar definition for the Golden Age to the one used in this article and its predecessor. If memory serves, Planet Simpson explains the definition using contemporaneous online reactions to "Principal and the Pauper". Either way, both Principal and the Pauper and Planet Simpson predate the streaming age by many years.

I mean, the law _is_ selectively enforced, and it's the CPS' job to decide who to prosecute. That's not so much a legal issue as a social/structure and purpose of police issue.

As with all things, this is complicated, and your description is only one facet of the history of music in the church.

For instance, a major component of the Protestant Reformation was encouraging congregational singing, and (particularly Calvanist) church composers of the era brought the music of the church much closer to the contemporary "popular" music of the day.

As to your wider point, the ability to breath oxygen and have long term fat stores makes an Atlantic crossing very easy. We moved from one palace with humans to another place with humans, hardly a massive feat of engendering. Meanwhile people in far more primitive craft ended up living in Hawaii (2,200+ miles from the nearest land mass) of all palaces.
IMO having a mentor or an advisor (aka. a specialist in a specific field) is the one of the greatest boost in terms of gaining experience.
The second thing is a process that children do when they are learning anything new. This process consists of imitation, failing fast and shamelessly, never taking anything for granted and asking whenever something is not clear. The company who I work for uses a process similar to what I described to develop disruptive business models, and apparently it works quite well.
We usually work together with our clients only for a short period of time but gain vast amount knowledge and experience in their area of expertise. The key of our success is usually the intensity of the cooperation. Even though we work together only for a short amount of time, we are almost constantly in contact. The customer becomes our mentor so to say, and we come up with ideas and verify them with the process described. It is incredibly efficient.

There are a lot of shifts that changed The Simpsons, but the biggest one for me was the shift to being almost constantly satirical.

Classic Simpsons would occasionally get a bit satirical or referential (like when Bush Sr made a guest appearance), but modern Simpsons seems more satirical than not. Episodes like the one featuring the "MyPod" with "Steve Mobs" basically had my eyes rolling into the back of my head. That's such low-hanging fruit that they're picking it up off the ground. It's not even good enough to be considered sophomoric.

I want to watch The Simpsons and be entertained about ridiculous situations in _their_ world, and sure, throw in a wink to reality now and then. I don't really care for the family-friendly The Onion-light treatment.

Or maybe "making the setup process easy hides some really important (and even safety critical) functionality". Or "popups are still bad and apparently we still need to say it" (referring to the wifi one). Or maybe "some current edge cases should be center cases".

I don't think that his point is an overly broad indictment of the iphone so much as an analysis of where many of its more common flaws actually lie. I've seen so many criticisms of trivialities around colors in the calendar, but little analysis of what real people with basic knowledge don't know.

The fact that it is so iPhone centric leads me to believe that the author is a fan. I don't consider this bad faith at all.
It wouldn't even be that difficult to have a series of examples of developing tests, cleaning up, trimming down, and debugging other people's code. Almost all of the classes I took didn't allow collaboration, even though that's probably the most important working use case. Lines of (useless) code removed is at least as powerful a metric as lines of (usefull) code added when developing.

It wouldn't directly teach them to think before writing, but they might learn the downside of failing to design the program structure well, and the pain of refactoring. It would be hilarious to give them back one of their early projects and slightly change the (marketing) requirements... (then require functionality can't be broken for testing more than X min-hours), just like real life. They'd learn they ARE the jerk writing unmaintainable code.

Default settings always not working for all apps.

If you need to tune network, if that's a tuning for all apps, development can be done inside net lib, all apps rebuilds and release, that's not more expensive than tuning a kernel config.

If you need to tune on per app basis, then unikernel is wildly safer because of the isolation.

That wouldn't work in the US, because we measure a lot of things by volume, don't use the same units for everything (small volumes are measured in teaspoons or tablespoons, larger volumes in cups), and tend to use lots of fractions in cooking. So a recipe wouldn't call for 150 g of butter, it would call for 2/3 of a cup. I suppose you could have multiple scales on a kitchen slide rule though.
The business insider article linked above makes it sound like a relatively nuanced measure. If the article makes a big splash but then gets wiped away by follow-up reporting, it doesn't sound like it gets rewarded.
