Understanding and Managing Emotions. Interesting. Too bad the author do not focus at all on HOW TO UNDERSTAND AND MANAGE emotions and the subtle and misleading assumption is that understanding and managing emotions is something that everyone can do it on the fly. Nothing more false. It takes a proper knowledge, schooling, education and training to do that. So, again, in a way or in another (and by reading the article) we must unavoidably return to IQ ergo to pure intelligence. QED.
If people cared about throughout, no one would be standing. People are lazy except when in a hurry, and giving both groups the chance to commute the escalator how they want is what you should care about.

How is RDR:Online not an mmo?
I learned Vue.js and Python/Flask for my side project https://contactcache.com (I didn't want to use Angular or Java/Groovy/Node.js which I knew from previous work).

Vue.js has been an absolute joy to learn and use. Great design & simple ecosystem. Perfect choice for small SPA.

While I like Python in general, on the backend side I think there are also other stacks that'd probably do the job and perhaps do it better. I chose Python since I want to also have a look at data science in the future.
It's not fair game in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy at least, unless you're a person of public interest. I'm not sure how Facebook handles that.

I was never stupid enough to use Facebook.
That seems like the issue is that the answer varies with chosen semantics, not unavailability of information.
Long ago, and many times. I do recreate one periodically, when I have a need for it.
No. I still use it to keep in contact with many friends and family. But I’ve stopped posting, checking in to places, etc.

I think you're overstating the importance of JIT vs AOT.

There are a few AOT-compiling JVMs out there, and it's not the case that they reliably outperform the JIT-based JVMs like HotSpot.

The significant differences are in Java mandating array bounds checks, runtime checking for null, no undefined behaviour, etc.
Uh no, that's the only way I can talk with 95% of my friends, who are all over the world, in many countries. p.s. I've never had a cell phone.

In my experience, there are plenty of things that are much harder in Rust than other languages. Those tend to fall on the "how you do things", instead of the "what you want to achieve" side of work, so often it's just a matter of stopping, asking yourself "can't the language help me somehow instead of making my life harder?", and adapting your ways.

A few times you are not so lucky and have an actual need that Rust makes harder. Those exist, like in any other language, and I'd be happy if I knew how to avoid them.
> This is a big problem with MMOs - big working worlds can be built, but mostly people just kill each other.

This isn't a problem with these games. It's intentional. Everyone knows how to mitigate it, you introduce a factor of significant loss aversion into attacking or being attacked, e.g. what EVE Online has where you might lose significant resources as a result.

Players by an large don't like that, and just want to join multiplayer and shoot and be shot.

The general public multiplayer mode in games like RDR or GTAV is always utter chaos like that, but you can just join private groups where it isn't like that.

I think that's the best of both worlds, you can still die (e.g. accidentally) and respawn quickly, and if you're being a dick the moderator of that session can kick you.

I haven't deleted it yet but stopped using it mid-year. The junk political posts from both sides got on my nerves. Nothing on there every caught my interest.

I have no plans to go back to using it. I do have quite a bit of family on it so will have to put up a "no longer active, here's how to contact me" post or something like that.
Then I don't understand the question. Citizenship is a legal status. By definition, any distinction with other statuses will be legal ones: more or less rights (or privileges, if you will) and duties.
Deleted my account permanently two months ago. In the beginning it was interesting too see how it had become a habit to write the url almost without thinking, and for three weeks I found myself opening a new tab and writing the Facebook.com address every time my mind started wandering. Also deleted my Instagram account at the same time and currently in the process of deleting WhatsApp as well, as soon as some projects depending on it as the communication platform conclude.

Can’t say I missed it. The things I’ve lost in terms of communication power are far outweighed by the positive effect it has had on my wellbeing and time management. Other than that the effect has been relatively small on my life.

At the time of deletion I had around 700 “friends”, most of which I hadn’t seen in years and many of which I had had no connection after becoming friends on Facebook. Now two months after is feels weird to have used this service daily, when in reality it worked mostly as an address book than a communication platform.

Another thing I noticed was how invested I had become in other people’s lives by mostly just consuming their status updates, stories and pictures. This combined with lack of updates from my side had really distorted my relationship with people, and had me feel more connected to people than I really was. It has wonderful to notice how much more interesting and easier it has become to converse with people when you don’t know what they’ve been up to recently
Some congress-goers see tons of talks, some see none. I wouldn't stress too much about it; do what you feel like, but be sure not to miss out on the non-talk-stuff, because that's an equally big part. For me the "best stuff" is meeting people, and an easy way to do that is to check out the assemblies/projects going on. For more about that see the wiki, which is the main source of info (apart from the Fahrplan) and is always being updated: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2018/wiki/Main_Page

#35c3 on hackint.org is the main IRC channel. Easy way to get answers. @c3infodesk on Twitter is worth following.

This year your wristband is also a public transport ticket valid in the city of Leipzig (zone 110). At night a special tram runs between Congress and the central station (Hauptbahnhof), so no need to worry about getting back.

The alcohol on offer inside is not very exciting, if you care about that. There is however a big supermarket (or hypermarket, rather) nearby, Globus, along with some restaurants/fast food places. No problem bringing in drinks/food from elsewhere to Congress. No security check whatsoever (pointing it out because while this is "obvious" to CCC people it might not be obvious to everyone).

The venue is big: https://35c3.c3nav.de/ is helpful for navigation.

Every year, no matter what I do, I feel I missed out on lots of things and that it ended too quickly. Just explore and enjoy!

No, can’t delete what I don’t have.

My dad gave me some great advice pre-social media, and it still applies:

“If you want to get really depressed, spend your time worrying about what everybody else is doing.”

I realize Facebook offers more utility than just peering over fences, but that is what it would be to me.

Woody Zuill – Turn Up the Good – Ø˜redev 2018
No. I actually created a Facebook account in 2018.

The problem is that without Facebook you will miss out. Sure, close friends and family will invite you to their social events, but more distant acquaintances will not; you know, the bloke you met at the pub last week and had a 20 minute chat with, or that cute girl you talked to but then she suddenly she was dragged off to a birthday party by her friends.
By missing out on the social opportunities you lose the chance to upgrade these people from acquaintances to friends (or even lovers), as well as meet new people.

Some back story: I moved to a different country two years ago with my ex-girlfriend (for her job), and we both didn't really know anyone there. I work remote, so I don't meet a lot of people from work, either.

We broke up after a year and much to my dismay I discovered I had not really made any new friends in that year, and that I was quite ... alone. So I set out to change that. Facebook – as much as I dislike the company – was helpful. I moved to yet another country two month ago, and again Facebook has been helpful.

I dislike Facebook for all the standard reasons. I had an account but I deleted it about 5 or 6 years ago, but I decided that having a good social life was (and remains) vastly important to the quality of my life, and that Facebook is a tool to help achieve that goal.

(Facebook didn't really "delete" my old account, as after I rejoined it remembered many of my previous friends; some of whom I had no contact with outside of Facebook, like many Egyptians I was in contact with during the 2011 rebellion whom I had met through a friend and only knew through Facebook; my "suggested friends" list was full of Arabic names).

On a more deeper level, I am a little bit exasperated of always being the "different" and "difficult" person (which extends to things beyond Facebook). Standing up for your principles and "voting with your wallet" is good and all, but ... I'm not so sure it's all that effective. In this case, a more effective strategy is probably to first create a really good Facebook alternative (I'm not so sure there is one now), make sure decent privacy laws are enacted, etc.
The problem of writers whose words you loved, but as you get older their views of world and society start to grate.

Thanks! Yes, it wasn't obvious at all when we started looking at AD either.

Lantern supports a good deal of PyTorch (via Snek, our Python front-end similar to AutoGraph) and can also read ONNX. Full feature parity is not our main goal--so far, supported features have been driven mostly by what is required for certain interesting models.
Sure! Check out https://github.com/MainframeHQ/js-mainframe. This is a browser-like desktop app that has ambitions to embed portions of itself at the OS layer some day (we call it "mainframeOS" right now, with that ambition in mind).

We'll be making our first public release at the beginning of February. It will combine decentralized file storage, messaging, identity, and contacts in an easy-to-use API for dapps that operate from within its framework.

Deleted mine in 2012. Saw this coming a long time ago...
I am probably one of the few who has gone the other way. I had a Facebook when it was college e-mail only. I got rid of it... and then I added it back this year.

It turns out that Facebook is fundamentally required if you want to schedule events which contain a lot of individuals. At first I assumed I would only use it for messaging/coordination. But then I decided I liked having the ability to post jokes.

I have also found it easy to filter out all of the nonsensical political argumentation. But that's probably because I have personally learned to just not argue.
Is there any reason the same operation couldn’t be enacted in the future, as a legitimate strategy for psuedo-collective lawsuits? It seems like treating everything the same as a collective lawsuit, then executing it individually, makes for much stronger leverage against the company.

I’m glad you watched the series.

It’s iffy, I think religion is a good bridge to morality, with the storytelling, metaphors, and whatnot. I just don’t buy this as “truth”. We have to consider that morality is not real and it’s a human/social construct to encourage desirable and cooperative behavior. I’m happy that we did create moral and ethical values though, it’s an excellent way to further the human race and ensure future survival without having to constantly worry about chaotic behavior, similar to (good) government laws.

I take the practical and actionable approach. When tragedy strikes I feel sad. That’s it. We can certainly describe the feeling in different ways using our wonderful literary methods such as metaphors, similes, etc. but at its basic core is the emotion of sadness. But what do you mean not re-evaluate the foundation? When tragedy strikes we should probably figure out how it happened and then take steps to prevent it from occurring again, a simple cause and effect analysis.
> The Bible is merely psychologically profound.

Sure, I think everyone agrees that some wisdom is to be found in ancient texts. Along with a whole crock of false claims.

When you say you believe in God, you are making claims which are unproven, such as recurrence of souls, heaven, and hell. You also are making claims that are verifiably false, such as Earth being 5000 years old, Noah saving species in a boat etc. Finally, you are choosing to ignore a lot of harmful dogmas in these texts, such as homophobia or killing of non believers.

All this because a 2000 year old book says so.
I think you're cherry picking a bit there. I noticed that phrase because it was out of sync with the rest of the article, which is quite sober. And even then the phrase you quote is a long way from "cuck".

Picked up some Docker and some Azure. Haven't applied them since. I'm hard-pressed to remember the last time I learned something new and actually applied it in the future. I'm getting pretty good at running projects where I know nothing about the stack.
I thought it would be hard but once I jumped on deleting my account I feel much better. Friends get in touch with me over text or email. Many of my friends prefer using email at this point anyhow, possibly since most of my male friends are programmers or luddites or both.

My girlfriend still gets Facebook invites for things but increasingly we get email invites for parties and similar. I get my news more actively through browsing sources now; I navigate to Pitchfork or a subreddit for music stuff.

It's easier than it sounds; people will find a way to get in touch and new people you meet will just be fine with texting.
I'm not sure how useful this series of nags would be for a startup, but hopefully hackers in large corporations would find it to be at least slightly helpful.
I started getting those emails just after the law changed a few years ago. Multiple emails per day. My ISP was forwarding them from some lawyer in California. I couldn't block them because they were coming from the same email that sends my bill. They were for things i'd never downloaded or even watched. A whole bunch of 8GB files of movies i'd never even heard of.

I called my ISP they said they were forced to send them to me and recommended I stopped downloading things....

First of all there's no way in hell i'm gonna download an 8GB video...period...second...i'd never even heard of those movies...so fuck that...

I looked up the lawyer that the letters were coming from, found out he was some random copyright troll and had been harassing people in canada all over the place pretty much the day after the laws changed. So I found a fax number for their office and with a handy little script...I showed them what it was like to be flooded by bullshit.

The letters stopped within a day and I haven't gotten one since.

For a dream that is depressingly minor! How about people stop buying things they don't need. Lost crafts of fixing things are thriving again. As result, elderly are re-introduced into society as they have the lost knowledge. Deurbanization starts when people discover they can't grow their own food on concrete. The 9-5 day slowly shifts back to a dynamic sunrise-to-sunset schedule. Cars are banned from small communities because emission degrades the local crops. As a result, kids rediscover they can safely play outside, without the limiting supervision of adults. That starts a positive feedback loop that collapses the (a)social networks, and as a byproduct the whole economy of attention.
It kinda can't be any other way though.

What are models? They're a way to describe the data. So this is where a load of philosophical stuff like Occam's Razor comes in and favours things like having fewer degrees of freedom, lower errors, etc.

What is data? It's what makes one model a more likely explanation than another.

You can make up any number of ways to describe some phenomenon, but without data there's no way to tell which of them is better. Or rather, you will fall back on some model with fewer specifics, because of those considerations we mentioned earlier.

So getting smarter (ie more complex) with models can't help on its own.

Do you happen to live in Europe, by chance?
An electricity grid does a pretty good job of connecting reservoirs in the high mountains with distant cities and other loads. Granted there are some transmission inefficiencies, but still far better overall efficiency than any heat engine can manage.

Unpredictable rainfall (e.g. extended droughts brought on by climate change) is the biggest risk factor when hydroelectricity dominates a country's energy supply. New Zealand is a good example of this: in some winters there isn't enough storage in the lakes [due to a lack of rainfall] and wholesale electricity prices spike dramatically.
This plan isn't thought through to its conclusion. If a government is willing to illegally detail political dissidents, etc. they will certainly not mind lying about that dissident's decision for anonymity.

Not like the KGB of old would tell a reporter the truth when they ask if the nameless detained man in a gulag somewhere requested his name be reported and let them blow open the fact that the government is arresting non-criminals for political purposes. I mean in that situation, Soviets already knew--it's not a perfect analogy. They'll just say he exercised his right to privacy.

It only works if the announcement of identity is public by default, unfortunately. Neither option is great at all, but I don't think I'm qualified to come up with a better plan.
But to do this successfully you have to hit the bullseye, grow extremely quickly, and have a strong moat. Otherwise, one of the big companies will either clone you (or buy out a startup who has cloned you) and leverage their dominating market position into serving your niche somewhat better than completely sucking at it, as they had before.
