I used to live in Duluth, 3-4 hours west, and have explored the Keeweenaw Peninsula. I love the UP. I spent a week exploring this area... took some photos of a tiny 4 headstone cemetery in the woods by an old copper mine. Most of the UP is quite desolate, and this area, even more so since it’s not on the way to anywhere.

Like everywhere up there, it would be paradise if not for the extreme winter. Houghton, just south of there at the base of the peninsula, has a tech university campus and is fairly populated.

‘“There used to be nothing but whorehouses here,” said the wiry 29-year-old, pointing into the woods, recounting family memories.”’

Family memories?

The Porcupine Mountains Wilderness nearby is another place I’d suggest exploring.
> Are Your Frequent-Flier Miles About to Lose Value?

The answer to this question is always "yes". Quite some time ago, the Economist estimated that the "money supply" of miles expands by 20% every year, which means that existing miles get devalued at roughly the same rate.

Thanks for reminding me. If a mobile basestation is not usable, it seems to me that the best way is trying a WWVB-disciplined oscillator. Shortwave is certainly not available indoor, but longwave reception is possible. Hopefully it won't be killed by NIST due to the funding issues...
Eating less takes will-power. It takes more will-power than many people have. What they need is to understand which foods they can eat that will reduce their desire to eat as much and as often.
Also, the developers' attitude.

First of all, when somebody reports a bug, they do not try to argue that it is not really a bug or something like that, they fix it. And then, they look through their entire code base to see if that kind of bug shows up somewhere else. It is a little sad, but even today, this attitude is not the norm. And it does not matter if that bug is remote code execution in the IP stack or a typo in one of the man pages. They fix it.

Furthermore, I like the approach to security the OpenBSD people take. As Theo de Raadt one explained in a talk, if a security feature needs to be configured before it works, people won't, and if it can be disabled, people will. So most security features on OpenBSD Just Work(tm), out of the box. Some stuff (like pf, their packet filter) obviously needs to be configured and can be disabled, but for the most part, you do not need to do anything special to enjoy the security OpenBSD offers.

Often, the OpenBSD people will do something akin to reinventing the wheel. As one comment on German IT news site once said, with any other project, you would accuse the developers of Not-Invented-Here-syndrome. But the OpenBSD people get it right.
Not OP, but it is usually done by using support tags:

The funny thing is that you've got that drilled into your head even though it's not true. Userspace breaks all the time, it's just that some of them matter to Linus and some don't, and he's never been clear about which is which.

Several months ago at work I found a vendor app that was calling listen(0), i.e., listen for up to 0 connections, and worked fine on older kernels because they rounded to a minimum of 8. Newer kernels stopped doing that. Nobody cared. Nobody got criticized, constructively or unconstructively. (By the time we noticed it was several kernel releases upstream so bringing it up would just be asking for another change to userspace.)

Linus himself broke userspace once in the hope nobody would notice. Spoiler: they did. https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/5/29/541

And that's not counting all the things that aren't part of the stable interface like procfs and sysfs nodes, device names, etc. There is a clear version of what Linus is trying to say. He's just never said it.
Agreed 100%. That series (4 books unless there's another sequel out) had such a consistently excellent storyline, characters and innovative usage of technology. It's not for the faint of heart, but well worth the 2k pages.
> The agency is charged with investigating waste, corruption and mismanagement in city government, where it has traditionally focused, in large measure, on white-collar crime.

Apparently they investigated waste and mismanagement and learned to apply those techniques themselves. But where is the corruption?

> He spent $45,000 in federal forfeiture money to acquire a small arsenal of Glock handguns.

Ah, there it is. Waste and mismanagement corruptly funded by legally stolen money shredding the fourth amendment.

Maybe the problem is that the name "Department of Investigation" doesn't have something like "Prevention" in its name, so its mission is unclear to its employees. As philosopher George Costanza once said, "I've got to plead ignorance on this because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon..."

He's still saying that Eric's behavior is so far beyond acceptable that no defense can be offered, and the entire rest of his work is worthless until he admits that. I think Eric probably had a reasonable explanation for this change, and the fact that Linux containers work so well is due far more to Eric than Linus, so in a healthy project it would be worth hearing out Eric and letting the more meritorious idea win by technical argument. But Linus's email closes that possibility.
I'm not quite understanding the relevance, but that's ok.

To give an example that I hope is perfectly clear, I contend that for me, a tablet is a better device to take when interviewing a candidate than a laptop.

You will harm people that love you if you proceed. They will suffer your pains directly and indirectly. The soul pain of losing you and the soul pain of not being able to save you. There are other ways to end things absolutely without leaving life. Use compassion rather than person feeling if you can.

However, the more important question here is this: diapers? Really??
It’s not that the tests fail, so much as they become misleading. They still pass, but they pass because their assumptions are the programs assumptions, but their assumptions are wrong.
It also seems like all of the changes in Python are all changes that Perl5 has done over the years without breaking backwards compatibility. Unfortunately this does mean you often have to opt-in to the new functionality.

use v5.24;
use feature 'unicode_strings';
use feature 'fc';
use feature 'postderef';

…

Note that the `'postderef'` feature is now always enabled so that line is pointless if you use a new enough version of Perl5. The `'unicode_strings'` also isn't always necessary.

Every day, more bad news for an open and free internet. The corporate and political powers are using the legal system and the media to strangle the internet-as-we-knew-it to death. Instead of a quick painless death, it's a slow prolonged death by a thousand cuts.
I think exactly the same. The only reasons I can imagine are that perhaps a feature can happen to be deprecated between these releases and the internals of the implementation of a particular part can change significantly and this can lead to notable change in performance of a particular algorithm some production service may rely on. As for the right choice for a fresh project - IMHO it's always the latest working version available, even a beta as long as everything you need works fine in it.

I'm not a programmer but I love logic puzzles. I didn't read past the clues and wanted to see if I could solve this beforehand. I did so and it only took me an hour but I had started over early on so the actual solution was just a bit less.

Here's my solution if anyone is interested - https://imgur.com/a/MQFDdXu

As an aside, does anyone have any good sites/links to logic puzzles like these? I really do enjoy spending time graphing them out and solving them.

So the agency stockpiled arms neither for the purposes of fighting crime nor for any drug-dealing or nefarious state-overthrow activity but effectively as a kind of entertainment or a sort of fantasy that they'd be acting like the cops they saw on TV.

And here, it may seem strange but is actually logical that the thinking of real cops who don't shoot it out everyday seems to be driven by the images of TV cops who do.

This book is relevant here.

I love the U.P. I have been there almost every year of my life, first from Illinois where I was raised, and now I make the trip with my kids from California. I love the forests, the lakes, and the rivers, and I try to let my kids experience that (there isn't much uncrowded freshwater in southern California). The people, being very Finnish (like half my family), are best described as stoic.
Very good point, was talking about that with a friend of mine a few weeks ago as well. He was telling me the exact same thing, when dealing with people an iPad is much less intrusive and creates a more relaxed setting than a laptop would.

I can't even enjoy tech without the invasion of politics, use to like a bunch of sites that I found out are gawker writer staffed like jalopnik. Every 10 or so car articles is an anti-trump article. They can't even leave politics out, social media is 100x worse.

I remember the days, I could read linux news and not once would politics be mentioned, that is no more.
It will lower it a few points.

If you have a house and a car it kinda doesn’t matter anymore. Those are the only credit I use, and both loans are already made. If travel hacking lowers my credit score from 800 to 785, which makes the APR of some credit card I never carry a balance on go from 18% APR to 21% APR.... so what?

You usually can get the best house loan rate at like 760 so not too hard to stay above that if you are past 30 and pay your bills (being old is s free credit score boost)
The world is not black and white. Your examples of overt racism or threatening harm to others are easy calls to make.

Facebook were idiots because instead of just abiding the law they decided that they should be some kind of authority about what is good and what is bad. They did it because they are arrogant lefties like the rest of the silicon valley. If they only accepted the first amendment as is they wouldn't have any trouble to start with because the people who wrote the first amendment were much smarter than them. They can still say "we abide the law", if it is against it we will remove it, if not we won't. Simple.

What kind of dragging operations are you talking about? Drag and drop operations and box selection are no more difficult on a Mac trackpad than with a mouse, and running out of trackpad area was pretty rare even on the pre-Touchbar generation before they almost doubled the size of their trackpads. Drawing might be harder, but neither device is at all good at that task; that's what Wacom is for.

That's assuming people prefer having a chance of getting bumped off a flight they booked to paying a few bucks extra and having the same chance of just not getting that ticket in the first place. For me that system never "works for me". Maybe it works for some people, but for others, there's a good reason to hate it.

Not really. Because of the rules to generate the score (see Credit Karma etc) the effects of a new card mostly balance each other out if you have an old enough average age of credit. On the order of -150 pts for a few months.

The only really valid question for point hacking is, "Are you planning to do anything with your credit score in the next 6 months?"

Decreases credit score: Decreases average age of credit

Increases credit score: Increases total number of credit accounts, decreases utilization rate vs total credit

The main barrier to doing this is single-card limits at certain banks (e.g. Chase's "No more than x new cards in y months").
To be fair, that's why some people leave small towns.
I can speak for Australia only. Some options include:

* University run HPC facilities.

* Your university might have a deal with government funded facilities like the NCI (National Computational Infrastructure). Their computer Raijin has GPU's.

* Or, they might be a participating University in AARNET (Australian Academic and Research Network), which next year will have web-based Jupyter Notebooks for smaller stuff.

* I 100% guarantee there are multiple unused snowflake GPU clusters sitting under academics (with more money and influence than sense) desks that were purchased under the auspice of being "absolutely essential for their work" or "its the end of the year and we HAVE to spend this money" and because hey ignored all advice from IT it never works and is unsupported. Find them, be the support guy (if you have time) on the condition you get access.

Your understanding of the Duplicate rules is correct. It removes any element of chance (all players are judged on how well they manage a given draw) but it also removes any element of strategy. As an aside, it also makes it a lot easier to organize large scale tournaments - you can organize a Duplicate game with any number of players.

I find it a lot less fun to play, but I know serious players who don’t understand why you would play Classic scrabble.
I don't have one but after trying out the iPad with the new apple pencil I can see it being more useful in a lot of situations where drawing is more useful than typing. and having a passable keyboard built into the cover should be sufficient for most people. now if you absolutely can't live without a bluetooth keyboard it might be a bit more cumbersome but the benefits that the pencil bring should outweigh that.

As a counter point: I've used a bunch of 3d modeling applications, starting with the Max Payne and Unreal level editors back in ~2002, and have since used SolidWorks, 3D studio max, modo, zbrush and various iterations of Blender throughout the years.

The controls in Blender are so terrible for me I've basically always given up in frustration within an hour or so.

The reason I didn't customize the controls is because I shuddered at how awful the UI for doing that probably was, and feared other lurking UI terrors were I to invest in adopting the app.
