How a leading arms expert imagines North Korean nuclear attack on the US (2018)
Free, Live streamed ReasonML Workshop starts tonight
Does anyone know if there's a publicly available domain that does RFC1918 resolutions? Such as

192-168-86-30.localresolve.com has A record 192.168.86.30
10-10-10-1.localresolve.com has A record 10.10.10.1

and so on.
I agree with your presumption that it almost certainly should work well but I haven't actually used it for a C project. Offhand, I can't think of anything that I would expect to break.
Best risk-reward is VP or SVP level at Series C or D company which gets you options for 1-2% of the company... switch every 18 months to diversify and build a portfolio but negotiate 10 year exercise window on your options when you leave rather than the standard 90 days.

Thousands of execs doing that around Silicon Valley working through Daversa and other executive recruiters (who themselves get $85K-$100K per executive hire).
> Anybody doing this on a production database without a strictly controlled (and tested!) break-fix should be fired on the spot.

I agree with almost everything you said except this line. Usually, people with production access are (or should be) sensible enough not to touch the prod db with anything untested that might mutate things.

If they're not sensible enough for that, they shouldn't have had access in the first place, and instead of placing blame and firing people, I'd start thinking about /why/ that happened. Points to a more fundamental flaw in the Engineering. Firing won't fix anything.

Also note that the statement in question talks about an old methodology.

As for the article, good stuff. I enjoyed reading it.
I’m highly interested in this, and in the capacity of biocomputing in general!
A "loss leader"
I’m getting from time to time to limits of training of relatively small models
Maintenance. Because seems they are usually written/owned/optimized by some build brainiac that becomes a bottleneck or leaves at some point.
The iPhone 4 is significantly thicker than the later models, somthere’s plenty of space for a battery. The backlight of the screen is a large power consumer too so smaller screen means less energy used for backlight, more energy available for power hungry extras.
The book "Selfish reasons to have more kids" by Bryan Caplan is a good antidote to this attitude
I think it’s fair to assume headsets.

Pokémon go is AR, but it’s value prop is not visual digital content overplayed on the digital world, despite sort of having it
The justification for VR is pretty depressing. Could be true, I know many people who enjoy losing themselves in digital worlds, but the idea of escaping so purposefully just doesn't sit right.

"I just think [AR as the more useful technology] is only true for people who live in a really interesting place in the real world... So for everyone who doesn’t already live on a college campus or in Silicon Valley or in a major other city, the new environments we’re going to be able to create in VR will inherently be much more interesting."
Data Science No Longer a Luxury for Modern Law Practices
It seems he was specifically referring to wearables in this context:

> More useful for our founder readers may be Andreessen’s predictions around tech and, because he’s asked about them specifically, his predictions when it comes to wearables
I love using VR, even for long (3 or more hours straight, no breaks) periods, but dear lord would I hate using a VR headset to pretend I'm in an office.

Open offices are trash in the first place (at least for me), headsets do not have enough resolution to pretend to have a screen in front of me, and even if they did, it would likely produce more eyestrain than just looking at an actual HD screen in front of you.
>> Finally, I had this moment where I felt that my efforts to ramp up the pressure to force him to stop had crossed some line. I felt I was turning into an abusive parent.

>> At that moment, I decided this had to stop. I didn't care if he licked his hands the rest of his life. It couldn't be worse than this.

> Rational analysis failed, some other way of deciding how to handle it took hold. Notice the semantic shift here. She moved from articulating her decision-making process in a cold, logical fashion, then after the failure, she shifts to an empathic, emotional basis.

I see the same shift that you mentioned, but unlike you I see the original exclusion of empathy and emotion from the decision-making process as irrational. Up to this point she'd been reacting instinctively and emotionally to the external pressure to make her son stop licking his hands, without considering whether that was really a worthwhile goal or what it might cost in terms of their relationship. Taking her empathy and emotion into account was the rational choice, and allowed her to set aside the peer pressure and clearly see and evaluate how her actions thus far failed to satisfy her own priorities and goals. At that point she rationally chose to stop forcing the issue.

> Sometimes there are multiple truths out there that you are going to have to choose between, with nothing to help to distinguish them.

The "colloquial term at hand" is false dichotomy. You are never forced to choose one potential truth over another. "I don't know" is a perfectly acceptable response. Naturally you still need to decide on a course of action despite not knowing where the truth lies, but that doesn't require committing to a particular version of the truth and rejecting all others as false.

> The over-rational mindset will concoct meaningless and even counter-productive forms of "rationality" to paper over their fundamental ignorance.

When one is actually ignorant, admitting ignorance is the rational choice; proceeding as if one were not ignorant (for example, by choosing one version of the truth over another when there is nothing to distinguish them) would be the hallmark of an irrational mindset, not an "over-rational" one.
I really like the kind of sanity that TypeScript brings to JS, super well designed and usually a pleasure to work with. That said, I've worked in many languages and I can't see any reason you would willing write your backend in JS or TypeScript.

Java, C#, Rails, and to some extent Python are much saner choices. The massive churn of the JS ecosystem bleeds through to the backend, hard.

JS could use a little more of the cruft and process that makes Java and C# especially so "uninteresting".

Java especially is kind of a joy to work in if you ignore the cruft. Everything is generally well documented, the libraries are mostly very solid, code is almost always backwards compatible, there isn't a zillion ways to do everything, frameworks tend to live for a decade or so.

And it's faster than JS, and uses way less memory, and mostly solved dependency hell and bloat over a decade ago.

Java feels like it was designed, not grown. Everything follows similar convention so it's easy to pick up new libraries. The advantages are many. The drawbacks are few as long as you use things like Lombok and code generation liberally. By the way; code generation using agents, annotation processors, and bytecode manipulation is pretty much standard and a godsend for doing interesting things (and getting around the cruft) .

In java, I can write code on the fly at runtime, or even during compile time using standard tools. Js barely even supports reflection. This is a huge underrated shortcoming of js if you're doing anything complicated
> Do you ship any plugins?

I used to but I'm switching to a different model

no, they are just loaded as .so / .dll / .dylib in the ~/Documents/score/addons folder. They can't have further dependencies though.
I wanted to love vr but it literally makes me sick even to think about it.
They are bugs, due to issues with linux drivers. Not helpful things to improve.
How come no one has started multiple law-suits against Donald Trump for libel? All he does is say false statements.
While you are right, i see a lot of enginners making bad decisions for the right tools to use for a giving problem, based on psychology and emotional reasoning.

Things might even work in the end, but you can end with a weak project that wont scale or will crumble when faced with the destructive nature of time.

I know its a controversial topic, but i think a little bit of zen-budhism training of the mind can make wonders in making those sort of decisions, where the unbalanced parts of our psychology will eventually show up and cripple what could be a great thing.

I am an IT enginner, but i practice a lot of self-mind vigilance to understand my decision making process, to avoid making the most confortable decisions and going for the write answer, no matter how painful and expensive it may sound.

To give an example of this, i remember for instance CouchDB vs. MongoDB, where the concepts were layout in CouchDB, but it was done in Erlang, so as soon someone did almost the same thing in a language that suits a database development well like C++, the tool sky rocket and reach all of its potential.

The language i see this happening the most for instance is Python. Where you have great concepts and great enginners but where a lot of them shouldn't be using Python for that particular goaç. Again here i can use Mercurial as an example of a great tool in a bad fitting language (for the given tool, as Python might be a great fit for other use cases).

The information in the article is good, but the premise is just a bunch of goalpost moving.
Kind of a circular reference in the beginning.

But do celebrity endorsement splay into that? A lot of the major brands mentioned use some kind of celebrity to make themselves "cool" part of the zeitgeist as they call it.
Most of the parts that degrade in a suspension are replacable. Bushings, stabilizer links, steering links, shocks, etc. are all easily replaced in most cars (n.b. EVs such as Tesla are the same as any other car in regards to these parts -- they will wear over time). The core frame structure is not going to suffer any significant fatigue from normal driving. Rust is another matter of course.
Yeah, the non-technical founder essentially handed the idea off to the technical founder and was like "hey, here's an idea, if it makes money, throw me some equity". They don't want to participate or be involved in any meaningful capacity and I expect that they simply would like to make some money if the idea does end up going somewhere simply for having the idea.
I'm not sure how per-distro (or distro-version) builds fix the problem, unless you're committing to continuously produce new builds for future distro versions to account for ABI changes. If you can do that, you can also fix issues with static linking if/when the come up.
I am not convinced that with this attitude your kids won’t have a harder time as adults.
WhiteSource Bolt for GitHub: Tool for finding/fixing open source vulnerabilities
Yeah, that's true, you definitely do have to be careful with that kind of thing. Kids really can take things to heart and believe them so strongly that it's difficult, even when they know you're the one who originally gave them the information, to moderate it. I usually try not to speak in terms of absolutes, but let them know what _can_ be dangerous, especially for kids who don't yet have enough experience to know which situations are dangerous and which aren't—so if they want to use/touch/whatever it, please ask an adult first. So it's not the thing itself that's inherently dangerous, but rather using it before you have enough experience. (Still do have to emphasize the potential danger though, lest they one day decide they do in fact have enough experience now.) This seems to work well for my kids, but of course ymmv.

Sure but I'd argue the success of Pokemon Go is not because of AR but in spite of AR.

I am very skeptical people play Pokemon Go for it's AR integration considering other AR games aren't nearly as popular and frankly the gameplay itself is pretty poor.

Pokemon Go seems popular because it's Pokemon on mobile.
I feel like your entire comment could be ended with "...yet"

I'm sure the screws will tighten on it. Unless Microsoft's entire plan is to run it forever, giving blank checks to GitHub, as a way to endear developers to Microsoft.

Maybe.
Deep Chain Reorganization Detected on Ethereum Classic (ETC)
On the free plan gihub Pages still only works in public repos.
I'm not sure I agree. AR is like a HUD for your life. It didn't take off with Google Glass but I still believe it will improve one's current life; only a subset of folks want to truly escape virtually. VR is still very cool, but I can't see it being as widely adopted (or practical) as AR.
I believe it is no business of the Government to dictate how we bring up children. Period.
Well worth the read. I agree.
Not always, a lot of apps are universal and can be installed on both iPhones and iPads, with the UI being adapted to each.
Government procurement doesn't work that way. Disability determination is a program funded by the US Social Security Administration, and comes with lots of compliance requirements that would be too expensive to implement for hundreds of contractors. Even if Tennessee allows you to give cash to random individuals, the Feds do not.

There is almost certainly a prime contractor who owns the relationship, who then hires independent contractors as subs. They probably collect a percentage or fixed fee for each piecework task completed.
What do you think business analysis should just disappear?

Does everything have to be about Trump? Sometimes I suspect that all the hate is really just a particular sort of love. You love to inject him into discussions in which he doesn't belong.
> Unless there is some reason to believe that making individual accounts free will somehow also reduce costs in a material way

It's misleading because it ignores user acquisition & conversion. Freemium often means you "take a paycut" on option A in order to make even more money on option B.
It seems more and more that having kids perpetuates the original Ponzi scheme of life between the young and the old. One that exists via billions of years of evolution producing powerful psychological selective pressures to reproduce.
You make more money paying off debt earlier, instead of investing that same money at a possible return of 6% per year, I've done the calculations myself for my situation. You should do the same.
The reasoning doesn't really make sense:

> But only something like .1 percent and 1 percent of people on Earth live in a place where they wake up every morning and think, Wow, there are so many interesting things to see. So for everyone who doesn’t already live on a college campus or in Silicon Valley or in a major other city, the new environments we’re going to be able to create in VR will inherently be much more interesting

Both AR and VR aren't just about entertainment. Also sounds kind of pretentious to say that VR will more interesting than where 99% of people live.
Apparently HTC's Vive division had a poor 2018, and that kind of made me afraid. I dropped $600 on my Vive kit and absolutely love it, but if the company cuts it off, I don't think I have any way to continue to play VR stuff as mine deteriorates or breaks, or no upgrade path (if I need one)

I'm not convinced the kind of VR I enjoy is going to become mainstream, and therefore I'm not sure it will be anything other than a tiny market
I think 3d holographic projections will be bigger than both.

The question isn't if computers will be able to drive motor vehicles like the best people. The question is if computers will be able to drive well enough to make companies money and save companies money. If the answer to both of those is yes, then autonomous cars are inevitable.
I feel like there's a definitional problem with that for vr: you're still wearing the big black glasses/head gear, so if you can see everyone naturally, you can't actually see their faces
I thought this was advice for a public trello board to let your first users tell you what they want :)
Yea, the book "Ready Player One" really made me feel queasy about the effects it could have on our lives. Already I see it, myself and other people escaping into Farming/Business/Life simulating games to simulate the success we might not find in the real world.
>adventure of the process, not because it's convenient

There's no need for adventure for me. I prefer to code on Linux and not need to reboot into Windows. Playing games on Linux IS the convenient way for me.
In other words: I'm going to study the effect of red wine on some health condition. Unfortunately I only have funding to buy alcohol from a store that does not sell wine, so I will experiment with beer.
I agree. The challenge for me has been that in practicing gratitude I find myself fearing the loss of the things for which I am grateful even more.
I do game development. Gitlab works great for small game projects.
> the idea of escaping so purposefully just doesn't sit right.

I know this feels like a VR thing, but I have found the same sort of issues with Minecraft, Ark, Terraria, etc. It seems like escapism is a huge part of the "survival" genre. VR will obviously magnify this problem a hundred fold, but the problem already exists now.
Expo SDK v32.0.0 is now available
Of course, like the trend "hey if it does not work for you write down your code"...

On git only: what is another remote? A GitHub concurrent company? A personal dyndns from a single developer with a fable ADSL?

On GitHub: many use it's proprietary characteristics like PR, wikies, pages etc. That's not "portable" to any other remote if you do not count site-scraping...

No, we need to focus on distributed/decentralized solution now.

In the past at least we use tons of different hosting most of them offered by ISP that actually use hosted projects, universities that actually participate in many FOSS project so while not distributed we are decentralized on "friendly" systems. Not nearly all FOSS project is on a super-big-corp server. Without any viable alternative ready to use.
A great example of this is Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), one of the most important and foundational fluorescent proteins for biology research.

The fluorescent molecule at the center is not actually a nucleic acid, but is formed several hours after the protein has folded after a secondary reaction between some of the atoms at the center of the protein find a lower energy state. This seems to me (not a protein engineer) to be virtually impossible to design a-priori.
>I'm saying that they were trying to manipulate people with selective, perfectly timed releases designed to achieve a specific political goal while at the same time receiving information from and potentially coordinating with foreign intelligence agents and lying about it.

There is no evidence of this. it is pure narrative based upon what you perceive as motives.

> some hillary vs trump stuff, who you voted for

not relevant to this discussion at all...
Doesn't know what he is talking about. Complete BS.
Maybe wearing it all day as an office is a little overkill. But being able to collaborate even in front of some kind of 3D whiteboard room would be a killer for fully remote teams like mine. Drawing on paint-like sites or with clunky web apps has been one of my biggest pains that VR controllers, if done right, could be huge for me.

Maybe with enough presence remote would become even more commonplace. A man can dream.
This is not about revenue percentage or anything revolutionary etc, this is about matching up competition offers: both gitlab and bitbucket are doing this, especially bitbucket who has unlimited private repo from the start, this is a catch-up move, nothing more than that.
Sure there are aspects of parenting that continue forever, but I’m sure glad my wife and I are both out of the “diaper changing” job. There are hundreds of other parenting “jobs” to work oneself out of, by teaching your kids to manage the world, confidently, by themselves.

I think the larger point may be that some so-called “helicopter parents” might never work towards this, to the detriment of their children’s mental health - and their long-term family relationships.
To be fair, that's jQuery Migrate 1.2, which was released in 2013. Not much better, but still... jQuery 1.11 (the version it's actually using) was released in 2014.
The semantics of such a language would the the primary challenge. If you want to be able to compile a statement like "implement a protein that cleaves proinsulin to produce insulin" there is SO much context that the real challenge is not in managing the compilation to ACTG, but the surrounding environment.

At what temperatures?
In what pH range?
In what species?
With what condon bias?
When should it be expressed?
At what rate should it mutate?
Do you want any other nearby 'functions' from mutation?
Is this a membrane protein?
Do you want restriction sites?
Is this for insertion into a plasmid or for insertion directly into a genome?
What bacterial cell line will you use to maintain the plasmid?
If you are expressing the protein for purification what cell line or bacterial strain will you be amplifying?
Do you want a single sequence that will work for all of these or are you willing to compile a different version for each combination? etc. etc. etc.
The list goes on and on.

The sequence you compile to will depend on those environmental parameters and the semantics of that 'environmental ISA' will likely be highly specific for many high level descriptions. I imagine you could produce sequences that were more robust, but the simulation time required to generate and validate them would grow accordingly.

All of this not even mentioning the fact that you also absolutely must specify _all_ the things it should not do, such as cleave a bunch of other proteins, or bind non-specifically and form aggregates in the cytoplasm, etc. A language level list of defaults here would certainly be a requirement, and that means the space that you will be optimizing in is absolutely massive. I don't even want to imagine how slow it would be. Probably faster to synthesize a bunch of variants and test them all in real cells.

The simpler case of taking an NCBIGene identifier and smashing it into an Addgene plasmid identifier and setting codon biases and optimizing for expression is a much more manageable task, and would probably be a building block for the more complex version.
Thanks to the commenters who mostly allayed my concerns.
For anyone who's had time to listen, do we know what he means by "bigger"?

To me it seems obvious that AR will be far bigger then VR as AR becomes "ambient" technology while VR remains "somewhere you go", but I'm not sure what his metric is.

Slightly off topic, but I can't play first person shooters--or, heck, even Minecraft--because I get motion sick from simulated motion with no actual motion. It's so bad that when I used to try to play, I'd continue to be sick if I watched, after I'd get sick and stop, someone play from across the room.

The odd thing is that I don't get seasick, which is (mostly) from actual motion with little, no, or confused apparent motion. Go figure.
