Interestingly, Comcast has been one of the consistently better support experiences for me over the years. Usually very quick and pretty helpful, even if it is just to schedule someone to come out and look at the problem.

Their service in general has gotten kind of unreliable around here the last year or so, with a handful of widespread outages, one of which lasted almost an entire day, but the customer support has never been something I've been unhappy with.
We had to migrate ~100 instances from Azure to GCP. It took us one month. At the end of the month we changed the dns entries and flipped the switch.

Its true tho that we never wanted to work with managed services, so there was literarly no need to redo any of the tooling.
In many cases the lanes weren’t designed for zipper merging or drivers “zipper merge” at inappropriate places. Zipper merge is great! But not all merging is to be a zipper merge- this is constantly abused, and perhaps justified in the minds of offenders under the guise of the zip. A lane, such as an entrance lane, that terminates is a good time to zipper merge. But many many times, in Minnesota, people use any lane that allows them to cut to the front of the line. Regardless if that causes a massive slowdown as they leave the relatively free flowing lane and “zipper merge” - match speed of the slow lane. Articles would do well to mention the finer points before ushering us to 10% gains... maybe.

Amazon feels like it has gone downhill lately. The last few times I've complained about them not meeting their Prime shipping guaranteed delivery dates, they've been fairly rude and unhelpful.
I'm not sure I see your point. What is it you think I'm advocating for?

My only point is that vendor lock-in is not a significant issue on AWS, and that it requires virtually no effort to avoid it.
My point is it's not a super power, if the effect is real at all (and it's probably not because the paper that showed it has a number of red flags), it's tiny.
And who think Dropbox is just rsync + crontab.
I'm not sure that spending on elections is where the power is either, but certainly any claim that lobbying gives you durable political power is at best undersourced.

> Standing is denser than walking, so the throughput is greater

Doesn't this depend on the walking/standing density ratio and walking speed/escalator speed ratio?

Let say the walking density is 1/2 of the standing density. If the walkers walk at the speed of the escalator (i.e. their speed relative to the ground is 2x the speed of the escalator), then the throughput is the same.
I have actually written a book on this.

Its not that hard to deal with. Dealing with it through ad-hoc "we will come up with something as we go along" can be a bit of a pain though. It is in fact fairly trivial to handle if some thought is put into it.

The simple case, if you just want to use it, is that you go to https://riot.im/app and sign yourself up as a new user. You can talk to other Matrix users, join rooms, and in general use it like any other chat service. Riot is the reference client and you can use it via web, install it as a desktop (electron) app, or install the iOS or Android apps. There are other clients you can use, but for the most part they're all very much in beta.

You can also set up some very simple bridging from within the client that will connect a Matrix room to a room in Slack, Gitter, and IRC. It will basically mirror the contents of (say) a Slack room into a Matrix room and vice versa. This process is pretty much just point-and-click.

The less-simple case is if you want to do "puppet" bridging, where you can control your own Slack, Discord, iMessage, Hangouts, etc. user via Matrix. The people you talk to using those services won't actually know that you're using Matrix; it just sends messages as if they're coming from your account. To do that, you will need your own server and you'll need to run bridge servers. I didn't find it particularly hard to get Synapse (the reference server) up and running, and I don't have much experience with that kind of thing. The time consuming part for me was just learning how to get a TLS certificate and how to set up a reverse proxy in Apache.

Setting up the bridge servers is more of a mixed bag. They're all developed by the community and have differing levels of stability and polish. It will really depend on which ones you want to have set up.
Does anyone know if the idea of creating a runtime mode for Electron is on the roadmap? (A runtime mode would be allowing multiple apps to share one installed Electron dependency rather than bundling Electron with every Electron app.)
Straddling prior to zipper merge at the last moment is absolutely intended to prevent proper zippering, which you would describe as "shooting ahead on the right."
This article and ranking seems interesting - "best tech city"? I still can't comprehend how they came to that conclusion, but it must have to do with finance.

I think you're missing the point - you may need to move to your own infrastructure for security, privacy, regulatory or accountability reasons.

Which compliance regulation require you not to use a cloud provider? At most they may require you to not share a server with another company - that can be done with a drop down - or the data has to be hosted locally - again that can be done by selecting a region.

> Two things that JS has over Python is lexical scoping and map/reduce/filter and lambda support.

???

Python does all of that. There are native map/reduce/filter methods in the standard library.

>>> x = [1, 2, None, 3]
>>> list(filter(None, x))
[1, 2, 3]

and then map

>>> list(map(float, [1, 2, 3]))
[1.0, 2.0, 3.0]

Lambda's are everywhere in Python:

>>> double = lambda x: x * 2
>>> list(map(double, range(3)))
[0, 2, 4]

To encourage this behavior, why not put a stoplight in the middle of the road at the merge point?

Just like the ramp meters that limit cars entering the freeway. But instead a dual light that encourages zipper merging via offsetting green signals for each lane.

I strongly believe man is a product of his tools, my slow but steady increase of their mastery is a source of pride. I've spent nights just mindelessly browsing the web in the search for a tool I didn't know about (it can be a service, a browser extension, a text editor plugin) so just looking at the title of this post made me ready for an injection of dopamine.

I have a branch on my todo list solely focused on my tools, because there are so many things to configure continuously. I schedule these tasks for the occassion I feel like I'll have a couple of minutes to improve and their priority are often labeled as "Compounding Rewards" as opposed to "Critical".
Forced labor camps is what stands instead of simple prisons in ex-USSR, simply because of poverty of those countries. The same category of people (chronic, multiple repeat offenders who provably have no intention of changing their habits, and as a result of a due process and a court sentence), shall just go to prison in these countries.

They might turn out to be one of the rare categories of people who prison actually fixes - one motive of being a bum is having absolutely no bosses, no mandatory routine, and being able to completely disrespect any kind of rules or authority - being in prison where you are forced to do otherwise for a number of years might actually change that habit (while i am not criminologist, this one admittedly might be bs).

And if you meant the forced labor as an administrative sentence, it's not something horrible, these are not gulags. Aren't people forced to do community work by say, cleaning the streets or assisting nurses in hospitals/nursing homes for misdemeanors such as drunk fights or driving drunk in Western countries? This is same kind of thing.

If you don't like the idea of LTP, then well, i don't like it either, but you have probably little idea of what's called an alcoholic in Belarus - where most adult male population are alcoholics, clinically speaking, and under 1% are risking getting into these LTPs (and most of them are not bums, typically police would send someone there once they realize that he's one binge away from stabbing his wife to death).

Sure, in the West where most people aren't forced to live where they were born because of being dependent on relatives network safety net and/or can afford to buy or rent homes, simpler solution is segregation (soft: basically not trying to artificially slow down market forces that tend to naturally increase the poor/rich communities split) and better policing of poorer areas, but this is what liberals are strongly against, so i'm not really suggesting it.
Then drive to the next exit...
Yes, this is one of those concepts which works much better for everyone, if everyone else drives like a German driver.

In the US, when you get to the end of the merge region, most people in the continuation lane will blast by at full speed, leaving no room to get over. I have to sit at the end of my lane, stopped, until I see a gap, and then floor it. That's worse for safety, fuel efficiency, wear and tear on my drivetrain, my own transportation time, and overall road throughput (everyone blocked behind me).

This is a "boil the oceans" type solution. All you have to do is convince everyone to do it.

Here, we can't even get people to stop blocking the box. The SPD is making short YouTube videos with "PRO TIPS" like "Bus lanes are for buses" [1] and "Don't stop in the street" [2]. The average driver is not at the point of thinking about higher level strategy like merge location yet.

Thank you Sir For This Amazing Post.It Really Helped Me To Buy new Tolls For My Industries.
The real problem with a lot of these studies is that it's difficult to distinguish between a linguistic effect versus a cultural effect--does the language distinguish terms because the linguistic community wishes to do so frequently, or does the distinct terms within the language cause the linguistic community to distinguish the terminology? It is my opinion that, most of the time, if not all, it is the culture driving the language.

I think one interesting example of where the linguistic hints is overridden by the cultural milieu is in the term ski mask. Picture someone wearing a ski mask; what is he about to do: ski down the mountain, or rob a bank? I suspect most people associate the ski mask more readily with a bank robber (particularly the three-hole variant) than a warm weather gear that you might use if the windchill is going to be below 0°F. (I personally use the term balaclava instead of ski mask, though I know there's a large segment of the population who doesn't know what a balaclava is). In that case, the linguistic clue of "ski" is less important than the fact that the main context people see it in is when people are concealing their identities to rob banks in movies.
This is just a toy experiment that shows causal relationships between thought and language can exist. You can't look at the arbitrary number of 50ms and say, "Well, it seems small, the effects aren't important."

The point is that influence is there, working away all the time in thousands of ways we don't understand. Maybe it all adds up to nothing. But the "small differences" in experiments like these don't prove that. You could have hugely important global effects while still seeing small experimental differences for something like reaction time to shades of blue.

Super interesting!

The creator makes sure that each puzzle has a unique solution, right? I don't know if this is intended, but after a few games I notice that knowing this makes it even the expert puzzles relatively straightforward to solve. That is, there are lots of spots where nothing appears to constrain a piece from extending in a given direction, but any solution where it did so wouldn't be unique, so you can rule it out, which makes the puzzle solvable without trial and error.

A full stoplight requires a full stop which defeats a lot of the benefits of a proper zipper merge where traffic just keeps flowing with no stops.

In a more general sense on a highway any time a car comes to a full stop you have the chance to create a phantom traffic jam as the stop travels back along the incoming stream of cars.

Of course it requires effort. A lot of effort, not to mention headcount. The entire value of cloud-managed services is what it saves you vs. the trade-off's, and it's disingenuous to pretend that's not the case.

The article address this objection:

"""

To determine if words were being automatically (and perhaps unconsciously) activated, the researchers added the following twist: they asked their Russian participants to perform a verbal task at the same time as making their perceptual discrimination. This condition eliminated the reaction time advantage of contrasting goluboy and siniy. However, a nonverbal task (a spatial task) could be done at the same time while retaining the goluboy/siniy advantage. The dual task variants indicated that the task of discriminating color patches was aided by silent activation of verbal categories.

It has been largely established that language structures shape how the brain organizes cognitive reasoning, which in turn shapes the brain and vise versa.

It is less well established that language shapes the data processing of the 5 senses. This is largely due to the trouble of defining what is a distinctive word when comparing languages and relating the resulting vocabulary distinctions to perceptual distinctions in an objective way.

The entire experimental literature on linguistic relativity is characterized by tiny effects and failures to replicate.

Maybe the tiny, inconsistent effects do add up to something. Maybe there are hugely important global effects. But no one has ever identified them in a reproducible way.
I spent some time looking into this recently. My vs was rocket chat.

While Matrix is very impressive in its ambition, in the end we went with rocket chat because it's more mature, and frankly a simpler stack is easier to wrap your head around and start making meaningful changes.
