The fight-or-flight response has a physiological effect on cognition:

> we suggest that stress shifts higher cognitive processing in a way that facilitates both engagement with and/or avoidance of the current stressor (i.e., fight or flight). By impairing executive control of cognition (i.e., working memory, cognitive inhibition, and cognitive flexibility), stress contributes to a reactive cognitive state that is fine-tuned to rapidly consider highly salient (i.e., stressor-related) information

> stress reallocates limited executive resources in adaptive ways [...] by impairing executive control over thoughts but improving executive control over motor actions [...] ideal for either fighting with or fleeing from a current stressor.

It would completely set up my family and children for life. I’d get to quit my job and spend all day with my kids. If some people I don’t know get fucked over for that, whatever. And that kind of thinking is why the world is such a wretched place. But I can’t say I wouldn’t jump at the opportunity.

To be honest, both suck compared to NYC and SF. There's just no comparison. NYC and SF have high numbers of PhD level tech talent, neither Pittsburgh nor Madison have anywhere near the number of the MIT-Stanford-Caltech PhD crowd. NYC and SF have higher density. And NYC, for example, has far more jobs in industries unrelated to tech. Not only more jobs in other industries, but way more other industries in general. Which is always attractive for the significant other.

The name of the game is to get high end tech talent. So sure, the University of Wisconsin can crank out code monkees for you. That's fine if that's all you need. But all the PhDs from the elite tech schools will sit down with their spouses or significant others to think about where to live and Madison and Pittsburgh just won't be terribly high on those lists. It's not all about the PhD that Google wants to hire, you have to have something for his or her spouse too. It's a lot easier to do that in NYC or SF. Just kind of the reality right now.
I've spent some time thinking how to put it, but it indeed doesn't seem like equivalence -- perhaps more of an inclusion. Or coroutines should be limited to stateless ones, but then a similar statement could be made about regular subroutines. Though not even sure what would be a proper way to compare state machines to coroutines, maybe some context is missing.
I personally use Bacula: https://www.baculasystems.com/

But in truth, it's a bit complex to setup. You have 3 daemons (agent, director and storage) each with its configuration.

This configuration files must match exactly (a bit like a nagios configuration) (http://www.bacula.org/2.4.x-manuals/en/main/Conf-Diagram.png).

Adding SSL is also a bit annoying, as there are many moving parts.

But once setup, it works quite well and bconsole is nice.

It's also quite easy to install since it's already available in most distributions.

You can set backup policies on a per job basis, do full, incremental and differential backups, you can also set a pre and post backup scripts as well as do the same for restorations. It is quite comprehensive albeit a bit complex.

At home, I use it with an old LTO-1 tape recorder/bank (IBM 3581-H17) repaired with pieces of bicycle tube (I find this kind of robots fascinating, a bit anachronistic in our age, but still relevant).

In the end, I'm not sure if I will recommend it, but it's definitely a viable option.

Fakestorejs a way to quiclky mock data
Imagine that you take a type from C or Java or something and add the ability to convert it into another type. I'm not talking about casting an int to a float, but actually manipulating the type without doing anything on the data side.

Now allow arbitrary programs to be types. We'll call these type programs.

Now imagine a game where you take one type program and try to convert it into another while proving to the compiler that it still does the same thing.

For example, say you had a function foo (int x) { return x+1; }, and the type program A “foo(a+1)”, and the type program B “foo(foo(a))”. Your job would be to change A to look exactly like B, or vice versa, using commands built into the language itself.

Why would you want to do this? Because it's been shown using a certain type of mathematics, called constructive mathematics, you can create type programs to represent any hypothesis you would like: m + n = n + m, for example. Then you can use the built in commands to change a type into another type to represent a proof of the hypothesis.

In this way you can prove hypotheses related to your program, (or anything really) as long as you construct the right types and use the built in commands to change prove the hypotheses true.

You really need to learn a lot of things to understand how this translation from types to proofs work, so I didn't try to explain that here.

I find the whole thing fascinating myself, but haven't gone too deeply into it.

(BTW, if anyone more knowledgeable sees something I've written that is wrong here, please correct me, for my own information more than anything else)

'As a German'

Are you aware that the Latvians that used to happily help Nazies to round up Jews, today are forbidding Russians that live in their country to be taught in Russian? [0]

Does it concern you that your country and the rest of the EU look the other way?

Since Latvia became independent, the Russian population in it dropped from 900000 to less than 500000. The same happened to other ethnicities like Belorussians and Ukrainians.[1]

This slow motion ethnic cleansing happens right in the EU and nobody cares.

So, please, spare me of this talk from the hights of your moral high ground.

Why limit it to governments. Always when certain people have power over other people, they value a small advantage to themselves higher than a big disadvantage to the others or the general well being. It's not that all people are acting like this, but such people tend to compete hardest for positions of power which often leads to one such person gaining that position at some point.

Doesn't matter if government, company, NGO, newspaper, soccer club, church. Whatever offers power over other people has this disadvantage.

Yes it makes it clear (but they can "commingle" the same product from different sellers, as said in the related comments).

However let's say you want to buy a product. But the reviews are mixed. Some are 5-star reviews, but there are 1-star reviews as well. And there are 5 sellers. From which one do you buy? All the reviews are mixed.

Perhaps a bad review is caused by a seller sending fake product. But perhaps the review is a valid review and it highlights a defect in the original product. You can't know.
I think so as well. When you have macros and can add syntax and features to a language at will, then the language and core library does not need to be very big. This probably helps immensely when trying to avoid breaking changes.

New macros can very well be prototyped and battle-hardened in external libraries before being added to core.

Don't they just resell the CPUs? I think the mainboards are designed and produced by them, but not the CPUs.
Good read. From that page, here's an example that nicely illustrates the concept:

Imagine throwing a dart at a unit square (i.e. a square with area 1) so that the dart always hits exactly one point of the square, and so that each point in the square is equally likely to be hit.

Now, notice that since the square has area 1, the probability that the dart will hit any particular subregion of the square equals the area of that subregion. For example, the probability that the dart will hit the right half of the square is 0.5, since the right half has area 0.5.

Next, consider the event that "the dart hits a diagonal of the unit square exactly". Since the areas of the diagonals of the square are zero, the probability that the dart lands exactly on a diagonal is zero. So, the dart will almost never land on a diagonal (i.e. it will almost surely not land on a diagonal). Nonetheless the set of points on the diagonals is not empty and a point on a diagonal is no less possible than any other point: the diagonal does contain valid outcomes of the experiment.

My tip would be - find a nearby game company, especially a publisher. They tend to have large amounts of extra burning towers from the pre-USB-drive days - 2000 1-1 is a bit more difficult than 2000 copies of one though. I'd bet there's a copy function on some of them.

I am building an app with Quasar-framework now and really like the components.

Great job. I ran this on Windows by building from source, it seemed to work for me. I just had to change a couple of things:

* Activate Python 2 virtual environment (it didn't work with Python 3!)

* Change forward slashes to back slashes in `./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild` (I also ran it as a separate command to `yarn install`, not sure whether `&&` would have worked).

* Run `npm start hot-server` (rather than `npm start server-hot` in the instructions).

* Close the Chrome dev tools, which appeared by default.

I must admit I didn't try actually sending a request. Our services are often split into multiple protos with a full relative import (like: import "companyname/project/foo.proto") so you'd need to set the include path for them to work.
I don't understand. I used Microsft's Bing when I was living in China. It was very obviously censored. Just type in a "rude" word and you get a message that the search results were blocked. Part of the fun was seeing what risque slang wasn't recognised and, therefore, blocked.

So what compromises are Microsoft prepared to make, but Google isn't?
I've always just used `sys.stdout.write("\r%i/%i" %(c, n)); sys.stdout.flush()`

That is exactly what this library does: "tqdm does not require any dependencies (not even curses!), just Python and an environment supporting carriage return \r and line feed \n control characters." -- https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm

Seems unnecessary imo to depend on an external library just to wrap and auto-prettify those 2 stdout commands.
>This is just not helpful. He has said “probability of rolling a six” twice.

For different purposes.

One is "probability of rolling a six on a standard die" -- e.g. a systemic property, where we know it's 1 in 6 but we have inherent randomness in how we roll the dice (alea in aleatory comes from the latin for dice btw, as in the famous J.Ceasar quote "alea iacta est" -- well, famous from Asterix at least).

The other is the probability of rolling a six based on what we don't know but in theory could (do we have a standard 6-sided dice? Are we asked to predict an event featuring some bizarro D&D dice we haven't seen? Is it really cubic? Have the edges been treated with a file? How about its balance?)
I couldn't find any info on your page regarding the royalties model that you're going to use. How much of a cut are you going to take? Is it going to be closer to amazon's 70% or closer to bandcamp's 15%?

Why do you have the restriction to original work and public domain work "with your own take"? For me, personally, that's a bit disappointing, since I work largely on digital reproductions of public domain work leaving it "as is".

One of my leisure time pursuits is to find interesting old books on cavalry, making them into high-quality reflowable e-books. It's a lot of work. I sometimes have to find multiple originals in libraries and antiquarian bookstores if there isn't a single original available in a good enough condition. Then I type them in multiple times to make sure there are no typos. I scan & vectorize the graphics. Then I produce nice reflowable EPUBs and ensure compatibility with a wide range of hardware. That kind of thing is hard work, and yet that sort of work is probably not protectable by copyright. It's been a personal frustration of mine that platforms for bookselling are often so uninviting towards that kind of content. -- It would be pretty easy for me to take a work like that and make it into an edition "with commentary", but, honestly, I'd much rather allow these works to shine in their original glory.

https://www.stlmag.com/Remember-Times-Beach-The-Dioxin-Disas...

One of my teachers from St Louis worked for a major chemical company there that made some really dangerous products. He claimed for extra money they paid employees $20 a barrel to put barrels in their cars & dump them in the river or elsewhere, during your commute back home. He died rather young of cancer.

While governments & the war machine played a major role in many ecological disasters & toxic & radioactive disasters, perhaps as the reason for the initial production, for-profit companies have their hands in the R&D, the production, the distribution & allegedly safe removal & storage. After these companies split up the profits between executives & investors, they usually go through a series of paper sales or just shut down to protect the beneficiaries from legal liability. The problems are then outsourced to the government and the taxpayers pay millions or billions for the cleanup and litigation. Sometimes the "efficiencies of the free market" have an enormous hidden price tag.

Its remained relatively hush hush, but the entrance to the tunnel (not the tunnel itself) experienced some damage from a cave in, delaying the December 10th public opening: https://www.cnet.com/news/elon-musk-pushes-back-opening-of-b...

Presumably everything else is on track, but when it comes to geotechnical engineering, stabilizing earth is challenging, and the engineers appear to want to wait more than 3 or 4 days after the cave-in to see if their method of stabilization (whether they used these neat ground screws, thicker walls, or a pairing) is stable and ready for non-employees to be near.
That's a distinction without meaning when talking about a finite number of outcomes.
No one's saying he didn't do any work, but when a whistleblower's memo lands in your lap, it's mana from heaven. Had the memo landed at the Guardian, or WashPo, we'd be complimenting the brilliant work of a reporter there. There are reporters who sift through enormous historical records, conduct undercover investigative interviews, and uncover information that was hard fought, and hard won. That's quite a bit different than following up on a golden goose.

Also, 'going on the record' isn't always an option. In the case of someone like Reality Winner, Chelsea Manning, or Edward Snowden, it would mean life in prison -- or worse if they were in a non-Western democracy.
>The 2016 election was swingy and it was uncertain.

I quite like tools.deps, but it is maybe a bit problematic that it is bundled with the Clojure install. Before tools.deps there were no officially sanctioned dependency and project management tool.

Sadly tools.deps lack the support for reading credentials from a gpg/pgp-encrypted file: https://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/TDEPS-9 This is a shame as I rely on this to keep repository credentials safe. I'm not a fan of the maven master password system.
