My formal automata class might have used non-standard terminology, but what I was taught was that while A: Aa and A: ε are productions, A: Aa | ε is just a shorthand to combine the two. Since there is only one start variable, A: Aa | ε is the entire grammar as well. a* is the regular expression representing the language for this grammar.

There are many thing you could do with it, but I don't think Facebook is really interested in developing it as its own business. They probably just want to incorporate it into their own machine.
Yeah, I'm probably overly vague about "accepted public services." More specifically, the kind of thing De Soto seemed to focus on are property recording systems, functioning courts working on reasonably well-defined property law, and permitting/review/accounting that makes economic activity legible. These aren't super sexy public institutions, and it may well be they aren't sufficient for a truly thriving society, but they are basic entry level public components of a functioning private enterprise system, and apparently more than a few attempts to export US capitalism have failed to account for them.

Isn't that the case with basically every support request, no matter the company or severity? The first couple of emails from 1st & even 2nd level support are mostly about answering the same questions about the environment over and over again. We've had this ping-pong situation with production outages (which we eventually analysed and worked around by ourselves) and fairly small issues like requesting more information of an undocumented behavior which didn't even effect us much. No matter how important or urgent the initial issue was, eventually most requests end up being closed unresolved.

You'd never sell this to people unless it was part of some bigger system that let you load your travel pass, building access, car access, maybe even contactless payment systems onto it. It'd have to be universal, completely reliable and completely risk-free.

I need that therapy anyway because I have to be given drugs before I'll let anybody stick a needle in me for any reason at all, but fortunately nobody's making a giant chip-inserting machine compulsory.

> Freezing meat twice and eating it will make you sick*

It won't necessarily make you sick, but it will have much more bacteria after been thawed (the same bacteria it had frozen, but now reproducing again during the time the meat is in normal temperature before getting frozen a second time)

I think the article explains pretty well why that is not possible.

> but what I was taught was that while A: Aa and A: ε are productions

Huh? This is the exactly what I also just said, in response to the different claim you made above, which was that the production is merely "A" rather that "A: Aa" or "A: ε". If you're claiming they are somehow equal (which they clearly are not... one is a symbol and the other is a rule mapping that symbol to a sentential form) then I'm confused how you think A and a* were any less equal to begin with...
>Ok I didn't consider the "makes meat more permeable to bacteria" -argument. Still, bacteria do die from repeated freeze-thawing cycles.

Not really. They multiply during the thawing and lie "inactive" during freezing. So repeated freeze-thawing cycles = several generations more bacteria than you started with.

Bernhard Redl, an associate professor in the molecular biology department at the University of Innsbruck in Austria:

"It is clear that freezing does not kill most of the bacteria," said Redl, "but puts them in a dormant state." (...)

If regexps are understood as a kind of "baby" programming language, and the techniques for implementing it are understood as "baby" implementation techniques for more complete languages, does "differentiation" have any applications in implementing more complete programming languages?

As an aside, why do I think of regexps as a kind of "baby" programming language? Because:

- They can be converted to NFAs or DFAs. These NFAs and DFAs resemble assembly languages. The "assembly language" for NFA is actually quite exotic. Reminds me of compilation.

- NFAs can be understood as a kind of Virtual Machine. DFAs are like a subset of a physical machine.

- Just In Time compilation was first applied to regexps before anything else. This was done by Ken Thompson.

- The interpreter->compiler algorithm in RPython (the program that is used to produce PyPy) works quite well on regexps. This essentially automates the work that Ken Thompson did.

I think you're right about the "wanting it more" vibes. Maybe also related to the "number 8 wire mentality" [1], where farmers get things done with whatever they have. There are lots of amazing inventors, scientists, and explorers from New Zealand.

I think New Zealanders seem to have a really high level of empathy compared to many other countries. There are lots of non-profit organizations that do amazing work, in addition to the awesome public healthcare system. St John [2] provides free first aid and ambulance rides to everyone, and they're a charity staffed by volunteers and run on donations (they're also in Australia and the UK.)

Also ACC [3] is an amazing safety net that most people take for granted. If you are injured in an accident and can't work any more, they will take care of you for the rest of your life. (As well as universal healthcare, we also have universal no-fault accident insurance.) We have a family friend who suffered severe brain damage in a car accident over 20 years ago. They're unable to work, and ACC is still giving them 80% of their salary (adjusted for inflation), so they are able to stay in a nice home with qualified caregivers.

So it's a pretty awesome country. It's just a bit quiet, very expensive, and the tech salaries are not very competitive.

My shower leaked quite badly, whenever I used it then water would drip from the ceiling below. I did my best to seal it up and forgot about it. Then, I was away on holidays for 6 weeks during the cold months here in Ireland. The heating was kept off and there was no natural ventilation in the house. There was quite a bit of mold on the ceiling when I arrived back but nothing horrendous. I cleaned up the surface mold with some bleach as best I could and then painted over it.

There was a very slight musty odour in the house that I masked with fragrances but mostly I forgot about it. Over the next year I started to develop a lot of non-specific symptoms.

I never even considered that the mold could be an issue until I started googling for a really weird symptom that I was having. Everytime I touched something grounded I would get a static shock, it was happening all day long. Anytime I touched a shelf in a supermarket or even if my touched my girlfriend's forehead (depending on the shoes she was wearing and the surface of the floor).

What was happening here was that the serum osmolality was very high (311 mmol/kg). Essentially there were too many electrolytes in my blood and these salts were being excreted onto my skin giving my skin a positive charge. Googling around led me to an interview between Chris Kresser and Dr. Shoemaker who highlighted it as a red flag for people suffering with mold issues.

I still believe that avoiding drafts is a good thing.

When you're contaminated (and you don't know because you don't feel it yet) you shouldn't stress your immune system with additional stuff like the temperature differences between different body parts. Why do you want less of blood circulation in the contaminated areas?

What is called "extreme hot" for North or East Europe is a pretty normal temperature for human species anyway.

I agree there's a mismatch between the Agile Manifesto and most of the concrete methods described as "Agile", especially when it comes to how much individuality is valued. I am not at all convinced it's fair to blame this entirely on the methodology side. The eXtreme Programming book was published in 1999 (and had been talked about before then). Scrum is a little harder to pin down, but a book was published in 2001 (around the same time as the Agile Manifesto), but the ideas were definitely circulating before that. There were other concrete methodologies which fed in, _e.g._ Alistair Cockburn's "Crystal" methods, which seem to have faded away.

In any case, the people pushing the methodologies overlap very substantially with the people who originally signed the manifesto.

About "Islamic State (or Viet Cong) didn't have to raze the same cities to the ground in able to 'occupy' them":

Those forces do not face an army when they take a city: they face a collapsing civilian state. When the restoring state or a foreign country sends a "liberation" army, the situation is very different: two armies are facing each other.

It was the same with nazis in the first phase of WWII: a prepared, determined and fanatic army faced unprepared troops. They took large chunks of Europe with little combats and destructions (Central Europe, France, Belgium...).

> The equivalent would be spot instances on AWS.

They're equivalent in the sense that you have nodes that can die anytime, but it's much more complicated. You could technically have a much lower cost on AWS by aggressively bidding low but we've had a few instances where the node only lived a few minutes.

Preemptibles nodes are max 24h, and from our stats, they really live around that amount of time. I think the lowest we've had was a node dying after 22h.

You also save out of the box because they apply discount when your instance is running for a certain number of hours.

You can even have more discount by agreeing to a committed use which you pay per month instead of one-shot unlike AWS.

I'm going to add a few more reasons to the above reply:

- UI and CLI is so much better in GCP

I don't have to switch between 20 regions to see my instances/resources. From one screen, I can see them all and filter however I like.

- GCP encourage creating different projects and apply same billing.

It's doable in AWS too, of course, but coupled with the fact that you have different projects and regions, and you can't see all instances of a project at once, this makes a super bad experience

- Networks are so much better in GCP

Out of the box, your regions are connected and have their own CIDR. Doing that in AWS is complicated.

- BigQuery integration is really good

A lot of logs and analytics can be exported to BigQuery, such as billings, or storage access. Coupled with Data Studio and you have non technical people doing dashboards.

- Kubernetes inside GCP is a lot better than AWS'

- Firewall rules > EC2 Security Group

- A lot of small quality of life that makes the experience a lot better overall

... like automatically managing SSH keys for instances, instead of having a master ssh key and sharing that.

Here's the thing though, a lot of GCP can be replicated, just like what you linked for the identity provider. With GCP, there's a lot of stuff out of the box -- so dev and ops can focus on the important stuff.

Overall, AWS is just a confusing mess and offers a very bad UX. Moving to GCP was the best move we've made.

The fundamental argument is that you will need emulation at some point because every syscall needs to be hooked, so you need to be able to stop before a system call is executed and respond appropriately. If you are running native code, you'd need to change the binary at runtime to do something else instead of the syscall, which means you're essentially writing to executable memory.

Blame Fox, not Facebook, for fake news
The rise of conservative propaganda and its lynchpin, Fox News, is the most important news story of our era but is mostly overlooked by real media. Many here have asked what can be done about this. Real media can turn a glaring spotlight on conservative misinformation. I want daily reports on how Fox News is manipulating the narrative and spinning the news of the day. I want headlines about the lies that are being passed around conservative circles like swine flu. Every day. I want unrelenting coverage of just how delusional average Fox News viewers are by polling and comparing their knowledge of the real world to consumers of real media. I want resistance to the idea of "mainstream" media when Fox News is the most watched cable news source. I want ALL real journalists to start using air quotes around "News" when discussing Fox. I want Fox shunned by all real media and treated as the pariah that they are.

We have let Fox, Limbaugh, Breitbart, Drudge, etc. alone with only mild, intermittent criticism for far to long. Too many news organizations have been intimidated by Fox, which fights back dirty when attacked. I want a sustained and relentless campaign by all real media to tear this toxic ecosystem open and drown it in the light of a thousand suns. This is the biggest story of our era. Let's start treating it that way. Gloves off.
