I often find the juxtaposition of these two themes unbearable, if only because it reflects the world we live in today.
Magic beliefs give way to true love and romance, but also igorance and disasterous concentrations of political power.
STEM beliefs give rise to incredible technology and a world of convenience, but also lead to awful environmental consequences owing to extreme resource use and pollution, and possibly amplify differences in economic inequality.

Friend, if you can weave a children's story around the nuanced interplay of science and magic, then I will buy your book.

P.S. have you read the Moomin books?
There is a big difference between reading files and human interaction.

You don’t normally have to output intermediate state while reading a file, but you do with human interaction. Human interaction is usually responding and reacting to intermediate the state of the program. Think a bit more about Super Mario Bros.

A file can be read as a single chunk of memory, and it doesn’t need to consist of a queue of sequential operations. We can decide and design what files are and what’s in them. An array in a file doesn’t need to be read one number at a time.

Human interaction, unlike a file, cannot happen all at once, needs intermediate feedback, and cannot be reordered or easily reformulated into another representation, because it’s responding to the intermediate state of the system.

Emails are one thing, but product QC results and related communications might well be retained for decades. Not just for liability reasons, but because trends in process behaviour and performance can be observed and acted upon, and correlated with changes to suppliers, machinery, workers' shift patterns, and other factors. This can affect the bottom line.
> like French Police illegally crossing the border and unloading migrants in a forest before driving back

Please tell me you have a source for that.

/ Edit
It seems to have been a singular occurrence where two migrants were deported unofficially by French officers.

Your phrasing made it sound like a regular occurrence of at least tens of migrants... But it is technically correct, I guess.
I recall there is a known "tomb" of a ceremonial ship next to the great pyramids. They started displaying its twin back in '82 (amazing exhibit [1]), but have left the other in place.

I also suspect that the Egyptians have a stash of known tombs that they periodically "discover" in order to keep their tourism market in the news

While my arrogance may be misplaced, it is simply a reaction to your less-than-honest bafflement at the concept of “middle class”. Because in the context of the article, it’s difficult to find a definition that does not work. Take the middle 50 percent income quantile: works. Say “the financial security of a married couple of a teacher and a long-term employee at a manufacturing company”: works. Take “anyone not experiencing food insecurity, but not owning more than one house or more than 100,000 in cars”: works. Take “the family in Breaking Bad, pre-cancer”: works.
What exactly does IP forwarding do on the server?
My guess is that the cost is mostly at the edge (needing to update the thermostats, control systems, communications systems and other HVAC equipment at the 19 campuses) not the software.

Now that everyone is worried about energy efficiency ("net zero" etc.) it seems like architectural malpractice to create large conditioned but unused volumes.

Understanding and modelling IO is a big part of why Clojure took of like it did. Its functional, its pure-ish but it has an understanding of time, concurrency and IO baked in. When you do IO time matters, take a look at how Datomic models this (incrementally).

But even from the early days, Rich Hickey said that no pure functional system exists as even an empty HD emits heat, which is a form of IO and I think we should listen to Hitchens and abandon our "fantasy of purity" when it comes to writing real software.
"Perceived" benefit is the key.

It used to be the "World Wide Web" but now it is the "Google Platform" and we just live in it. After Google established that useful web search was possible the realized that the #1 competitor for their ads was organic rankings, and if you could really get a #1 ranking by investing in the best content then why would you spend money on ads?

So since then it is has been about deliberately degrading the search results so you learn to look at the ads instead, giving people bad S.E.O. advice, etc.
Then you might enjoy this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Very_Scary_Solstice and its successor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Even_Scarier_Solstice -- much of the content of both can be found on YouTube. I particularly enjoyed Death to the World.
As much as I love this guy (easily in my top 10), I still can't say I'm able to fully appreciate his work at Dynamicland...

I'll give it another try.
My guess is that it doesn’t, that’s the cost of the new computer system and replacing parts of the old AC.
I have multiple kids still playing Minecraft. Ages from 15 down to 8. They tried fortnite and didn’t like it as much. They really like building things and exploring.

Yes. It also comes in the form of resentment or jealousy e.g. "those union fat cats make too much" vs "how could I make as much as those union fat cats?"

Race to the bottom mentalities are deadly at all levels from working class all the way up to corporate strategy.

In the corporate world you see it when companies focus only on their competition and struggle to undercut each other instead of focusing on creating customer value. You get a deflationary race to the bottom that kills both margins and product quality. It ends with a market full of gutted companies competing to make crap.
Its fast when it works. On my tablet is a crap shoot if you see any content at all.

sad either way RIP
I am speculating about motives here, but it seems to me that this sort of behavior is an example of an all-too-common form of the 'banality of evil', Hannah Arendt's observation / thesis that the holocaust was enabled and implemented by a large cadre of rather ordinary people who were 'just doing their jobs'.
In this case, there was no nucleus of genocidal, powerful and violently coercive psychopaths driving the process; it may have been almost self-organizing out of people 'just doing their jobs' in response to the initial mistake of shipping a tainted product, and either not thinking of the ethical issues, or actively suppressing them (some of both, I imagine), all helped along by a dose of self-interest.

This is not intended to be in any way an excuse for what happened here; if anything, it is a cautionary tale, as any of us might, one day, be faced with a choice between just doing our job and doing the right thing.
Try putting something like this on your Mac in /usr/local/etc/wireguard/foo.conf:

[Interface]
PrivateKey = redacted
Address = 10.100.0.3/24

[Peer]
PublicKey = redacted
AllowedIPs = 10.100.0.0/24
Endpoint = 18.xxx.xxx.xxx:51820
PersistentKeepalive = 25

and then doing

sudo wg-quick up foo

You should see something like

INFO: (utun2) 2018/12/16 18:43:24 Starting wireguard-go version 0.0.20181018
[+] Interface for foo is utun2

That's assuming you have a matching server config set up on your Ubuntu...
People who think the US and the EU operate the same way should look up the country and the union, respectively. There are also lots of YouTube videos about it, although you should probably be careful about what channels you trust.
Speaking as a potential hirer (in the sense that I manage a technical team and regularly look at both junior and senior dev resumes):

- if your CV only lists 1 language/framework and it’s one I’ve never heard of, I’m not likely to keep reading.

- if you have 8 years of experience in the same company, I expect to see concrete achievements and ideally that you moved up the ladder in 8 years (more responsibilities, changing teams, a new job title for instance)

- not something I insist on, especially for a senior profile, but which can have a positive impact on a candidature: is there a portfolio website or a GitHub profile on the CV/cover letter? This allows me to see what language(s) the candidate has used in the past, take a look at their coding style, check the commit history (e.g. a repo with 1 huge “upload project” commit and no other activity smacks of someone who’s never used git before)

Given the shortage of devs, you’ll find a new position. How fast you find it, and how senior it is, is up to you. I encourage you to pimp your 8 years of experience to show portable skills (problem solving, autonomy, system design...) rather than proprietary tech knowledge, and a capacity to grow and learn (i.e. show your progression during these 8 years).

Then, assuming this isn’t already the case, pick up a popular language and work on a few projects in your spare time. This will enable you to brush up on your CS skills and programming paradigms, especially if the language you use at work is primitive: do some OOP, try your hand at FP, asynchronous or parallel computing, etc. Make sure the code is clean and commented, and throw in some unit tests. Commit to github like a sane person, and add the relevant language and frameworks on your CV. Bam! Suddenly you’re a developer with 8 years of experience who happens to know a weird language.

Of course this is only good enough to get through the automated CV analysis and the first interview. But in that interview you have the opportunity to explain what you accomplished in 8 years (maybe pointing out how solving tough business problems with an antiquated language is even more impressive than with the bells & whistles language du jour). You can point out that you want more and that’s why you work on side projects with a modern language (which incidentally is part of the company’s stack). And since you’ve been coding on your free time you’re hopefully up to date on basic data structures and algorithms and you’ll pass the whiteboard tests brilliantly.
Ignorance of the law is not a defence.

Not knowing that an employee of a company broke the law and you're a director or more senior manager probably shoots down any chance of a due diligence defence.
The Saudi Arabia item was overblown. Someone made an example of finding clusters around social networks that happened to identify people opposed to some government idea. It was not prepared as client work.

Generally in consulting you do have people working for both sides of an issue (commonly a supplier and a buyer, for example). There are heavy handed rules about preventing people working on or who have worked on projects for either side from discussing the issue to avoid this. Assuming normal controls work as intended, the conflict of interest is generally handled sufficiently.
This article is anti-trump pro-globalist propaganda. The lack of real arguements demonstrates that. This is meant to demoralize Americans and make them feel helpless and dependent on a global free trade regime that has decimated the working class and could be abolished easily by restoring the tariffs that existed through the 1970's.
there is no mention of depression. Regarding depression, who are those people who want to listen? I have found it that instead of being helpful people use it as a "I told you so" moment.
In the case of YC the proof is in the pudding. I don't think any other accelerator has anywhere near as good of a record.

Of course YC's location gives their companies an access to exits that you couldn't get in say Fresno, CA or Paramus, NJ.
Are you suggesting that 10% is a reasonable estimate of the percentage of Firefox instances running on hardware that supports AVX? I'm not sure of the real numbers but this strikes me as an extremely low estimate.

The closest I can find is Valve's hardware survey, which says that 87% of users are running on computers that support AVX. https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey (click on "Other Settings" on the bottom to expand).

Firefox is presumably lower than this, although I don't know by how much. Does Mozilla collect statistics on the capabilities of the computers that Firefox is being run on?
Right. I wonder what this Amgia can do what a Raspberry Pi or even ESP8266 can't? Bit banging a simple maintenance radio / 1200 baud protocol should not be that hard?
Neither do I like the tone of the parent comment, and neither have I went to the meditation lessons, so I am not an expert, but:

>> In the west, yoga and meditation mean something other than what they mean, in other cultures and time periods. That's perfectly fine.

You know, in real life we take care of our children because they will never know better if we don't teach them something at the right time. So often it's actually beneficial for someone to push you in order for you to understand the finer things in life.

In my stretch class it would probably take me a few months to reach a split if my teacher wouldn't just push me (by pushing I mean literally - physically push my legs apart). Because I was afraid I would tear something apart - be he otherwise knew it wasn't as unsafe as I've thought.

So... Yeah. Make sure you've got a good teacher before you start. Because most of them generally do not care at all.
For me - no remote work: I would fritter 12 hours being lazy and unproductive.

Instead, I'm at the client's site for 6 hours. I set my monitor so people can see it and then I crank. I go home and turn off the devices and enjoy the time with my family - without worry.
Oh, right.

Yeah, the non-Linux clients are all a faff.

It's pretty user friendly on Linux. Everywhere else it's alpha level. IMO.
ZFS snapshots!... I _wanted_ to use "rsync.net" for this, they use FreeBSD with ZFS snapshots in a jail, the idea is that you get your stuff onto the account however you like over SSH (i.e rsync), then the snapshots serve two purposes: snapshots through time, and read only access incase you get 0wned.

I couldn't use rsync.net though because all it's datacenters are outside of EEA, i'm currently looking into doing this myself on a simple VPS, ZFS for linux has matured quite well it seems. I'm a bit new to doing chroot jails on linux but the ZFS snapshot part is very easy if that's enough for you.

apt install zfsutils-linux

It's pretty trivial to make a pool put it in a user directory and then make snapshots... you could easily make a script to do schedule the snapshots, or there are at least two tools already around to schedule this for you via either cron or systemd timers: zfsnap or zfs-auto-snapshot respectively.

RE databases, with some extra work you could also use ZFS on the source server and take a snapshot of the database (once you invoke the correct commands to lock it), rather than do a dump, this would be very fast because it prevents the duplication of a dump, and therefor could be done much more frequently, you however have the additional complexity of then syncing the snapshot to another servers ZFS pool, although there are tools for this I haven't bothered going this far.
On the content side, I wonder if the problem is deeper. People want easy money and the large IT companies are simply facilitating. After all if I create enough crap content I might eventually write a book about parrots: https://www.wisebread.com/how-a-teenager-started-a-multi-mil...
A modern system is likely to be more efficient and offer finer-grained control that is better matched to heat and AC demand. Across 19 buildings, that will add up to significant energy (and thus $) savings over time.

The same reasons that something like a Nest thermostat can save you money at home.
But as a beginner who wants to start too, my question is it better to use a paid app with monthly subscription than to listen to the same guided meditation on mp3 or youtube?

People are doing things about it; it’s just that they are outside of the system. You see countless articles, blog posts, and so forth about scientists going rogue, biologists getting certifications to run labs out of their garages, and individuals self-funding or even starting their own hedge funds to fund the research they want to do. Most of that isn’t mainstream. The future of academia is the academics, not the institution itself.
I blame their mothers. Society should too. And things will change overnight.
Golang is statically typed language
In the desert southwest of the US, there are thousands of Anasazi sites that haven't been excavated. Archaeologists have intentionally left them alone so that future scientists may be able to open fresh sites using new techniques and equipment. The problem is that these places become susceptible to pot hunters because they usually aren't protected. Once they've desecrated a site, it becomes worthless to science.

The author is setting up NAT w/ the iptables rule in the POSTROUTING chain that does `-j MASQUERADE`. With that rule in place, combined with `allowed-ips 0.0.0.0/0` on the wireguard client, the client can tunnel all their IP traffic through the server as opposed to just having a private subnet setup between the two endpoints.
They don't exist because China has protectionist policies that give them an advantage and the US elites abolished most of its tarrifs in the 80's and 90's. they could easily come back but the new york times doesn't want them to, and they don't want you to think it's even a possibility.
Which reminds me of the rather young saying: “No fences make for excellent neighbors.”

As to the bike path: that photo made my legs itch. Old train tracks are an excellent resource for bike paths, at least for recreational riding. They are flat, because trains are unable to climb anything more than 2% or so. Plus no cars, perfect width, and (because they are established rather recently) often perfectly smooth pavement.

I’ve done a thousand km or so in both Spain, and across the alps. It’s almost as breathtaking as crossing the mountain passes, if you allow me to mix the literal and figurative meaning of the word.
My experience with “found” in egypt means “hasnt been completely sacked by raiders 200 years ago”

I would love to be proven wrong this time
I believe that describes the L4 messages. So, yes, it can be generalized, and there is a widely used kernel family out there that only uses it.

But you will lose some performance on some of the syscalls. While an interruption is expensive, memory access is expensive too. When you have only one of the options, you will have stuff you can't optimize. The thing with IO is that the slower part of the memory access can be done by a co-processor, so you get the entire CPU available for more important work.
Land (and thus labor) are way too expensive in the Bay Area to see a resurgence of high volume manufacturing. It'd be more likely to see manufacturing make a comeback a short flight away from SF where land is plentiful. That way you could easily make day trips to the factory and receive goods via truck within a day.
Flash light has very high uv content which can fade the pigments. The effect is similar to a picture that fades because it’s been exposed to sunlight.

I doubt that a day of journalists making pics would have any measurable effect. It’s more a problem if hordes of tourists take pics every day.
On Netflix most of their own series are low production value crap. I don't even bother checking them anymore even if the subject sounds interesting, unless I hear about them in the media first.

This can't be good for them in the long run if the Netflix name becomes associated with filler content.
Related how?
I appreciate your optimism, but we’ve done the “without politically-enforced solution” experiment, and it was an abject failure. See: pre-EPA/CARB Los Angeles. Also: Cuyahoga River fire.
