Interesting. I'm a little surprised this did not get more coverage.
Yup. I purposefully didn't mention it, because it can lead to distracting political discussions, unfortunately.

Dear Jeff
Supermarket chain, hell restaurant chains are getting into this. Chik-fil-a has meal kits that are not their standard fare but obviously chicken that you can buy to take home. Grocery stores seem to have exploded in options in the produce section of fresh vegetables combined with seasonings and such and the meat sections are doing the same. Walk into a Publix (Southern state grocer) and there are meal planning cards at the entrance and even daily demos of some of the meals.
> Humans definitely do calculate "complex" differential equations to estimate the trajectory of a ball. If not, they literally wouldn't know which direction the ball is traveling in, as you'd only have the position of the ball on the eye's optic plane.

The brain calculating differential equations doesn’t seem very plausible given the fact it has no access to data to perform those calculations. Perhaps it’s more about past observations or a priori knowledge? I think it’s worth noticing that catching things is an ancient predatory skill and is not exclusive to humans.
I recall from a talk a couple of years back ( so not sure I got it correctly) that after 50-100 years you can basically walk into the fusion reactor without having to worry about radiation.

It does, which is why most fusion reactions currently produce a net negative amount of energy.
I’ve read about research that suggests that tasting sweet things causes your body to release insulin in anticipation of a boost in blood glucose.

With artificial sweeteners, that glucose boost never occurs, but the insulin is in your bloodstream anyway. That helps contribute to insulin resistance - which is a key feature of type II diabetes.

I don’t know if there have been studies explicitly making this link, but it’s certainly plausible.
It's weird how you blame them for slowing innovation, but you admit Email hadn't been fixed or improved for years, and Gmail was a step-change improvement in access to email, cost, storage, spam filtering, and filter management.

And despite your claims that they about gmail, Gmail is still using SMTP and MIME, it's still using the same transports, headers, and RFCs that most email clients are designed for. Yes, they've added additional content types you can display and you can write "add-ons", but that's not any different than what native desktop clients did before in terms of what built-in media types they handled vs external plugins.

The real impediment to slowing innovation in mail, is the same impediment we see in TCP/IP, or BGP -- a huge legacy deployment makes upgrading any of the formats or protocols quite difficult. Around the time Blackberry was killing it at mobile email ("Crackberry"), about 3 years before the iPhone, I worked on the IETF IMAP Lemonade group which was trying to add push-email notification capability to IMAP so that it could operate efficiently on mobile, work like the Blackberry, scale well, etc. Suffice it to say, trying to get a dozen MUA and MTA vendors onboard for any improvements was difficult.

The real innovation slowdown came from the protocol being widely deployed.

How do you measure innovation anyway? Did Inbox (I know, I know) count as innovation, automatically picking out trips, assembling itineraries, delivery notices, bills, tasks, forums, newsletters, et al, into bundles, and making them easy to peruse as entities?

Do you count incremental improvements as innovation, or only radical 'step-changes' like the iPhone? because those kind of shocking new products happen only once or twice in a lifetime, and I don't think they are affected by the presence of dominant players. We've seen dominant players get disrupted time and time again by step-changes.

Or are you claiming incremental innovation has slowed? But if so, how do you categorize it? I mean, I pointed out in Techcrunch years ago (see https://techcrunch.com/2012/02/25/sugar-water/) , that the vast majority of 'innovative' SV startups ship toys and amusements, not things that radically improvement productivity or health.

I think the real innovation to come isn't in improving more toy apps for photos or selfies, or messaging, but in human health, education, and well being.

Personally I include the education section since I have an education despite that it is in a completely different field (technical construction). The reason being that it is showing commitment in those early years. I also include my mandatory military service as the first item under work experience even if I at this time leave out things between as an aggregate, as that implies a willingness to show deference to authority (something that is rarely talked about publicly but incredibly appreciated by management and by extension the readers of CVs).

Hope that helps.
Textbook example of form over function
I think the goodness or badness of hardness hinges on the reason for the difficulty.

Sure, doing hard things is a good thing for satisfaction and character building. That doesn't mean a math book that's harder to understand is better than one that's easy.

I think Finnegan's Wake (mentioned in the article) is a good example. It's difficult and good, but for different reasons. Joyce was being expiremental. He wrote from inside a characters head, a POV style that's very common in modern novels. So, the expirement worked.

So, in a sense, it's hard in the way driving an early, expiremental car is probably hard.

Trying to read Joyce for entertainment is like trying to learn physics from "Principia." Cute, but probably a terrible idea. Reading either to engage with the history of novels or physics... this is why people still read these today.

People might get a sense of satisfaction frim the difficulty, but this does not mean we need people to write like Joyce or Newton.

There needs to be an honest reason for difficulty, and the problem with most difficult writing is bad reasons. Poor technique. Partially formed thoughts. Intentional obscurity. Orwellian use of jargonized dialect...

Finnegan's wake would have been a better work if it was written easier. The difficulty is a flaw.

Prioritize family time, work on your side project when your family is sleeping. Maybe work out where you can spend part of the weekend on it. But prioritize family time when it's family time.

Don't risk your families savings on a business idea.

I would look at B2B vs B2C.

Check out Rob's stair step approach at StartUpsfortheRestofUs.com.

Basically start with a product or simple app to start generating revenue and use that to fund your next larger project. Do this till you can quit your day job. Having revenue will make it easier to justify the time you spend on side projects too. And get you familiar with running projects, doing support etc.

I would keep your secure full time job so you don't have to focus on the next contract.

Start small and build things up. You can never get back family time so enjoy that while you can. The kids grow up fast.
> The rest of Europe considered him to be someone more like Hitler of his times

This is absolutely not true. He was revered by many idealists at the time all over Europe. Just take Germans like Goethe or Hegel. The comparison to Hitler is totally anachronistic.

> as soon as he did away with Catholic Church influence on government he made slavery legal again

Can you elaborate on that? My impression was that slavery had been abolished by the revolution which also tried to do away with religion. Napoleon era was partially a reaction against the excesses of the revolution, hence re-instating slavery and tolerating the church.

Exactly. Computer Science is much, much more than just programming. Knowledge of many aspects of CS can certainly useful to programmers (depending on what they're programming), but it's perfectly possible to be a very competent programmer while having massive holes in your understanding of CS.

And for most programming jobs, real programming experience is far more important than a broad understanding of CS. With a solid grounding in CS, you'll be able to tackle more complex issues and maybe be more flexible to switch to completely different IT-related careers, but for most jobs, it's not necessary at all.

I stopped using Medium when they removed the ability to see a list of just your articles, mixing your comments into the list (as though every comment you write at the bottom of an article is just as significant as an article you wrote, what a stupid idea though it looks like they've realized that and reverted back).

Driver Easy Professional 5.6.7.42416 with Crack {Tested} Is Here
We do have cold winters but that does not mean we have high humidity indoors. Relative humidity means the water contents of the air at 0 degrees is very very low. The higher temperature, the more moisture the air can hold. So when you heat up the air the same amount of water shares a much lower percentage of what the air can hold. In winter the hygrometer is showing 100% moisture outdoors (because ours can't measure below zero degrees C). When that air is heated up indoors, it holds about 20% of what it can hold [0], most likely thanks to warm water taps, us breathing and other moisture sources. This is why many people run their humidifiers so they can at least have 30-40% in winter. Less dry, cracked skin and nose bleed.

Can someone comment on what kind of economic effect that working fusion reactor technology would have?

I hear sometimes contradictory hear-say on the lines of "unlimited energy", "reactor would have to be fed constantly".
At that point can't you just store the output current in supercapacitors for later use anyway? You can even feed it into the machine itself. Supercapacitors easily have better than 20% efficiency for each cycle.

> the purpose of cryptocurrencies is to remove the need for trust. Trust in the math, not the banker

By exchanging trust for energy.

Cryptocurrencies are the best example of trust being a tangible thing - it can be quite literally converted to Kilowatt hours. This shows how incredible trust is as an energy use optimization device. We should be finding ways to be able to safely depend more on trust, not less.

Some /24 are more critical than other. There is a price to security and for sure advertising only /24 is probably not viable.

The article mentionned that some networks within the /19, in this incident, were critical. So yes, I believe that every businesses should advertise /24 for their highly critical infra. They can advertise /19, /20 and so on for the less important networks. No need to use /24 for everything.
Thanks for the suggestion, we'll look into integrating. There shouldn't be notable battery drain from the app though, it's not a VPN in the traditional sense.
For this use case, authenticating is a one-time effort as well, per browser. If you're authenticating again, you're almost certainly doing it on a different device/browser, at which point you'd have to verify the new browser binary anyways.

Have not read your comment but it felt very natural and was first thing that came to my mind.

Car mechanics like software developers require a lot of tacit knowledge to be good at their jobs. It all feels like riding a bicycle, intuitive. It is difficult for me to understand a person that does not understand how computers work but when confronted by a person that does want to know it is difficult for me or even impossible to figure out where to start. I think that it is because I don't even have the experience being taught how things work, all my experience is about figuring it out by myself.

Same goes for mechanics. When asked "how do you diagnose any particular problem with a car" you will not get an answer because diagnosis is skill in itself and it is very intuitive and hard to describe.

DIY MOD drones: the perfect mashup of toy and hobby grade components
From this description it seems you have problems with implementation.

You probably lack in "coding"(maping solution to code) department - it's totally normal in language you don't work in day to day. You are probably less skilled in implementing simple, lower level abstractions - understandable given your background.

I have more exp than you - recently I was helping friend with python ML code - it took me 40 mins to code 20 lines. I don't feel bad at all, because even though I knew solution, to write it in python I had to google for each line and read docs to know range handling, dsl of libs, array comprehension syntax, lambdas etc.

Good news is that it's easy to get proficient fast by doing such exercises. I can recommend codewars.com

"Every time" for this use case is once per browser install, at the moment you perform the authentication with Firefox Sync, which is the same as the number of times you'd want to verify the binary right before authenticating.

The tradeoff they made here has essentially zero impact on the number of times you need to verify their code, it's just a matter of whether you'd have to verify browser native authentication code or authentication code delivered through a website written in JS, at the moment you authenticate.

A concern like the one raised in this thread is certainly valid for websites that have expiring sessions, where you can switch accounts and log in and out of. And we certainly do need better tools around signature verification and version pinning for websites like we do for binaries (content-addressed networks like IPFS may have good answers there).

But for this use case, it's not a practical concern by any measure, and all this alarmism seems really misdirected.
Why wouldn't it be? It's the same as words on paper.

Different people suggesting different means against mold here, but in the end, you have to find the root of the problem and eliminate it. Otherwise, you are fighting symptoms.

1. Air filters might reduce the airborne spores, but if you have mold already growing behind some wardrobe you are wasting time.

2. Hydrogen peroxide, chloride, and isopropyl alcohol are all good tools to fight it when you find a place where it grows, but ultimately you have to solve the problem at a deeper level as mold has excellent survival skills (you might clean the wall but the spores in the air infect it again right afterward).

3. In order to eliminate mold, you have to change the environmental conditions. As most living organisms mold requires food and water. The water comes either from inside the wall (that is something only your landlord can fix) or from the air. So try to maintain a low humidity level within your apartment (<50% should be okay). The easiest way to achieve that is by using your heating and replacing all air within your apartment by opening all windows for 5 minutes (to let in cold air, no longer, as it will cool down the temperature of the wall otherwise), three times a day. Mold nourishes itself from organic material. Very often that means fabric, wood or wallpapers (yes removing your wallpaper might be a good idea). Since water condenses in cold spots first, those are the place you want to keep looking for (walls next to windows, corners of a room).

Three years ago I had a mold problem in my apartment. Following the above advice, the mold didn't come back (except for a few spots in the shower, but that is kinda difficult to keep dry).
> In his RWT post, Travis claims Ryzen as having 8-10.

I wonder if they're statically partitioned: so that you only get ~11 per thread on Ryzen when SMT is activated.

The AMD Optimization manual is cler that the LS unit handles cache misses. Intel's manual is clear that LFB handles cache misses.

Load / store buffers seem to be a more general set of micro-op reordering in general.

--------

It appears I've been mistaken btw. Let me post the full text of the section:

> The LS unit includes a 44-entry load queue (LDQ). The LDQ receives load operations at dispatch. Loads leave the LDQ when the load has completed and delivered data to the integer unit or the floating-point unit.

> The LS unit utilizes a 44-entry store queue which holds stores from dispatch until the store data can be written to the data cache

...

> The LS unit can track up to 22 outstanding in-flight cache misses.

So that's 44 load queue, 44 store queue, and 22-cache misses for AMD Ryzen. Presumably, this is split somehow in hyperthreads (which would lead to the ~10 number you suggested)
