Abstract

A review is carried out on the activities, influence, and consumption of males versus females in childhood and adolescence and what effects masturbation is associated with their socio-demographic characteristics, experience with pregnancy and childbearing, aggression and behaviour. According to general sociological theories, males and females have different interests in interaction and stimulation during childhood and adolescence but will adjust accordingly when making their real life decisions. The current results show that males are more often receptive to prepubescent and adolescent communication about sex, reproductive role in future life and skepticism about their own genitaliating potential while females differ in behavior and preference when it comes to erotically stimulating activities or psychological stress than male behavior."

Completely agree. And unless one is sufficiently privileged to have the space to leave setups as is, one needs to factor in cleanup/storage.
Yet people in that language do it all the time. I'm thinking I'd rather learn their idiom, than have it spoon-fed to me. Depends on what you're doing I guess
Chart library for JavaScript that is:

- Well documented

- Dev friendly

- High performant

- Framework-agnostic

- Written in modern JavaScript and well architected so it can be tree-shaked and prevent a huge bundle size

- TypeScript support

- Well priced

- Open source

The only decent one that I could find is https://github.com/amcharts/amcharts4 but is lacking from good tree-shaking support and performance
Could also be that C is superior in other ways, there isn't really a big difference between 0 and 1 based indexing, and thus 0 based won on the back of Cs other strengths.

The Dijkstra discussion is only aesthetic preference, nothing more.

Edit:

In Julia the examples would also idiomatically be written in terms of the provided mod1 function:

new_index = mod1(old_index + 1, N)
new_index = mod1(old_index - 1, N)
I assume they've set up an ethereum network with Proof of Authority instead of Proof of Work or Stake which means this isn't really decentralized since the transactions are being solely mined by a controlled group of trusted nodes. The five-engineer team I work on did the same over the course of the past six months and for us it's just a stop-gap until we can move to Proof of Stake, get some third party nodes on the network and finally consider ourselves decentralized as a blockchain.
The number-1-zeroth-order-term-in-the-Taylor-expansion characteristic of Chinese culture is Han racial superiority. So how the hell is Chinese culture “vying” for cultural leadership when it is intrinsically exclusionist?

Citizens United, as you mentioned. Read it -- it's clear that the logic is that corporations are collections of individuals and as such, they have the same speech protections as individuals themselves.
The thing about strong free speech laws is that it protects facebook and twitter's right to censor. Telling users of their platform to shut up is part of their free speech rights.

Free speech does not mean a guaranteed platform for your ideas, unless you are the owner of the platform.
According to that 'paradox', tolerant societies could never evolve from intolerant ones.
People are arguing that a ban on Muslim immigration violates the first amendment rights of foreigners living abroad. The legal theory goes that the constitution doesn't protect anyone against government action, but rather restricts what actions the government may take, regardless of who is affected by those actions.

By this argument, everyone everywhere has the same freedom of speech under the US constitution that Americans do. It's even the same amendment.
No, they won't. Any other business will get similar tax breaks to Amazon (excluding the $505MM special construction deal) relative to the size if the operations they want to put there.

China isn't just a large economy. If it was the European Union buying interest in Reddit, nobody would bat an eye, because Europe shares America's values of freedom, rights, and equality as cornerstones of society, arguably moreso. China is a repressive one-party state where dissidents are regularly silenced by imprisonment or "disappearing", citizens are ranked for party loyalty the same way Americans are ranked in economic creditworthiness, and ethnic minorities are imprisoned in concentration camps. They are the last people we want to be running prominent public forums.

More interesting would be the reason why nuclear power has not been more developed BEFORE renewables could be considered. And the reason is:

1- civil nuclear power has been developed using uranium instead of thorium since this produces plutonium as by-product, which is useful to build nuclear weapon.

2- we want to prevent nuclear weapon proliferation, therefore we have to prevent proliferation of uranium-based civil nuclear power.

The solution is to start to develop thorium-based civil nuclear power. This doesn't lead to military-use or ecologically problematic by-products, so it can be used everywhere on the planet.
I think you have a fair point, but "money is speech" is considered quite controversial in the US.

It's certainly true that American culture >> other culture in popular media, so it's hardly surprising or unfair that others want to influence this to their favor (by which I mean, perhaps, merely reduce US-centric influence).
Residential-scale solar tracking doesn't really look that different from electric garage door openers, does it? Those seem to work pretty reliably for years with ~daily cycling.

Disclaimer: I'm the author of ldapcherry.

My motivation was indeed that the go to solution is phpLdapAdmin, which is basically ldapsearch/modify in a web UI. It's a bit too rough and open for general users IMHO.

Hopefully ldapcherry provides something simpler and a bit prettier for the users.

Also, it's quite common for IT environments to have an ldap server (OpenLdap or 389 directory) and Active Directory (or samba 4 in AD mode). A secondary goal was to manage both at the same time.
ldapcherry works both with AD and ldap, creating/modifying a given user in both directories. And it can actually be extended to support other backends.

A third motivation was to be able to manage "roles". It's quite common to have ldap/AD groups triggering access to one specific resource (ssh into prod servers with or without root access, access to the git repositories, access to log indexer, etc).
But requesting each group individually is a pain, and you end-up with a wild variety of groups set even between members of a given team. That's why ldapcherry has a notion of "roles" (group of groups): for example you click the "sysadmin" role and it will put you in the groups that grant you access to ssh, monitoring, logs, etc.

That being said, it has some limitations:

* The groups/roles are statically defined in a yaml file, so it's not really dynamic

* There is no real tooling to audit/normalize the backends content (for example after a role definition change)

* There is no mechanism to temporary delegate a role to a person

* There is only one "big" admin group, no notion of "this role can be set by this group, and this other role by this other group"

* There is no request/notification mechanism when a user requests approval for being member of a role

* I'm not completely sure how I could handle forgotten password for users more cleanly

* I'm not sure how the UI would look with hundreds of roles (probably not great since all roles will be displayed...)

These are clear limitations that makes ldapcherry not suited for large organizations, but it should work OK for small ones.

Also, right now, ldapcherry is mostly stateless. It doesn't need a DB, you just configure it and plug it to your ldap/AD, which means it's fairly simple to deploy. If I were to implement the previously mentioned items, it would probably require a DB, which would increase complexity, and I'm reluctant to do so. Maybe a pluggable module could do the trick, but I would have to create an API for such module in the existing code.

Lastly I'm a lone developer with limited skills, and this is a side project, so I don't always have the motivation/time to work on it.

I think these few explanations kind of illustrate why there is no decent ldap web UI ^^.
Same reason people use Electron for desktop apps. It's just more efficient in development time. And development resources are usually the most expensive part of development.
Correct. St. Louis and San Diego both let pro football clubs leave recently.
Is it second best though? I can write an app in Go in the same amount of time it would take me in Python and it would be an order of magnitude faster, multithreaded, and type checked. Python is really quite slow and error prone if you think about it.
The unicorn story struck me as being structurally very similar to the standard wire stories about new species discoveries. That's probably why it's the best of the bunch.
Imagine a Russian oligarch with ties to Putin had bought a sizable share, what do you think the reaction would be?

People aren’t concerned by Chinese propaganda or Cultural exports (positive action) so much as concerned by the possibility they could effect censorship on certain topics they’re sensitive about (negative action).
it's not only that - everything else will be competing for those 10-20 hours (e.g.: gigs for extra money, learning, teaching, life-administrativia, personal growth, burnout, ...).
That is a complete non-sequitur. Free societies need to oppose those who would destroy their freedoms. How does that have any bearing whatsoever on whether free societies can be established?

The Chain-of-Responsibility software development design pattern provides a way to separate a source document (Markdown) from its final presentation format (PDF).

On a related note, I've developed an open source editor that can edit Markdown, R Markdown, and XML documents[1][2]. The input document is translated in real-time to HTML. Using the Chain-of-Responsibility pattern[3] makes it straightforward to introduce additional processor chains, which could include slide show output via CSS.

On a minor technical note, including HTML tags (such as <small>...</small>) defeats one of the key benefits of Markdown: separation of content from presentation. An alternative is to use named blocks to classify text, such as[4]:

I think as Westerners we are used to being dominant. I am German (now in US) and I wouldn't think twice if I heard that a German company bought a company in China but a chinese company buying a German company gives me slight discomfort. I guess I just have to get used to it. The world power balance has changed.
There are languages which don't permit fast implementations. You might consider a "fast language" to be one for which it's possible to write a fast implementation.
Its sad that people can treat each other in such a ways based on criteria that should not matter. Many nations are guilty of similar things.
Have you tried Nim?
Althoug I don't like everything that comes from the US, Im grateful for the ideas that I've got to know thanks to US academics. Also because I find US books on topics I like easier to read, in contrast to other fellow euro authors. It my be the style, IDK.
This is cool. One thing I keep hoping either exists now or will soon is the ability to take a photo of an actual board position and get a FEN string out (or just directly send it to Stockfish and get an evaluation). It'd be really helpful to quickly analyze positions when I'm trying to help my kids out, cos we don't generally keep notation and I'm not always confident that my advice on a position is blunder-free.

All companies I have worked for over a certain size have come with non-negotiable [1] IP assignment agreements that effectively said the company owns everything you do, at work or at home, on work equipment or on personal equipment. It’s universal as far as I’ve seen.

I just wanted to start by addressing this one really disengenous comment

>Can't really blame them if they want to make huge profit by offering you something you really want

This isn't a company offering you something you really want. This is a company gouging the prices on something you literally need to live.
So allow me to call you out on that shitty argument, first of all.

And second, many people don't have the option to opt for cheaper alternatives. They have one choice, which often leads to people having to ration their insulin and die from it [1]. So I would highly recommend you actually do some reading up on the situation before you make claims about alternatives.

> It's certainly true that American culture >> other culture in popular media

What does that mean?
It is certainly a benefit, and it would allow a handset maker to differentiate their offering more easily than they can with just software. That said, actually building custom chips for a phone is a very high risk spend because you are in a cut throat market for "off brand" phones, you don't know the volumes you can achieve, and the upfront costs of the chip are going to be large. Trying to get the calculus right so that you make money will be quite challenging.
Off-topic: I'm so freaking excited for RISC-V.
Who's mad enough to use crystal in its current state?
It's interesting that you say this because I've had the same feeling. However, I'm still quite hopeful for rooftop installation simply because from a societal point of view it's a better utilisation of land. Where I live we have really ideal conditions for both solar and wind and while I'm relatively happy dotting every hilltop in this area with wind turbines, they've been clear cutting the forest, paving it over and carpeting it with solar panels. I realise that we're going to need some of this, but I would really like to minimise it as much as possible and I'm willing to pay for it. It frustrates me no end that at the same time they started pushing renewable options, they deregulated power sales and capped the distribution costs for the power company in our area. So while the costs of running the grid goes up, they have have no leeway in increasing prices to match. Sigh... I sometimes feel I'm going to be living in a literal silicon valley at some point... The irony, of course, is that I live in Japan and while we have oodles of geothermal potential, it's still a politically sensitive option to even experiment with (for fear of disrupting the hot springs -- lots and lots of money tied up in that and already people complain about the drop off in temperature due to over use...)
Why Cryptoanarchy Is Not a Revolutionary Movement
Leisure time on internet 90% of my friends spend their time with:

- Riot Games - League of Legends

- Supercell - Clash of Clans

- Reddit (while waiting for games to load... riding bus.. work etc).

This acquisition will make 100% of their content Chinese owned !
I didn't realise Tencent owned so much of Epic. I wonder what that means for the game industry at large given the huge push for the Epic store. Could we see the same effects we've seen in Hollywood?
> The threat of Chinese censorship was feeling all too real on a site that had historically embraced the extremes of free speech.

Any active Reddit user with non-left leaning political views will most certainly find this assertion amusing at a minimum.

In a similar vein I'd almost rather buy an Huawei phone over an American one because I don't care about China's interests nor live there, so I don't fear them censoring my posts or kicking my door down over some innocuous statement I made online. And for those who think that won't ever happen in the west the UK has already done 2am night raids over a person's tweets. But most redditor's didn't put up a similar fuss over a real life example of the thing they fear from China because he was a (legitimately) douchey right winger who didn't fit into their ideological bubble.

In practice I'd bet far more regular North American and European Reddit users will be banned and have posts deleted for not sharing (by mainstream western standards) the pretty radical left political world-views that is popular on that site's communities - which of course are world-views I see nothing wrong with, people can believe anything they want.

I don't know where I'm going with this other than to say I hope we in the tech community stand against all forms of censorship, not just the one's that fit into their particular pet ideologies. There's plenty of history and literature since the 17th century enlightenment that anything less is a very dangerous path.
and frankly that's a killer schedule already...
> As I understand they the main goal was to achieve easily readable and maintainable code, even to the detriment of performance.

Seems like a tricky goal for image algorithms in general where you're performing the same action over and over on millions of pixels. Obscure inner loop optimisations are pretty much required.

In these situations, I would sometimes keep the code for the naive but slow version around next to the highly optimised but difficult to understand version. You can compare the output of them to find bugs as well.

Fake news does need to be tackled, people in India have been lynched. Although the article tries to make the deathes seem lighter than it is, it can always happen again. It's either this or actually verifiable news with legitimate sources can only be posted.
">>" can be read as "is much greater / larger than"
I can't seem to find references for it right now, but there are severe advantages statically typed languages have over dynamically typed in terms of performance and weakly typed over strongly typed in terms of safety. The stronger the type system in a language, the greater the array of type level optimizations the compiler can do.

There is simply no way of knowing enough to optimize when compiling a python script comparing to rust for example.

Language depth has a cost though in terms of raw productivity, that is why there are languages like matlab that are there simply for prototyping and nobody in their right mind would use it for production purposes
> "0:4 picks out index 0, 1 and 2, which are the first, second and third element of the array."

I don't think that's right? It should pick out four things, not three.

Of course, you could argue that getting that wrong proves your point! I personally still prefer 0-indexing, but I definitely agree with you that having an exclusive upper bound is confusing.
If you consider that a permanent lifestyle, then sure, it's a bit extreme. But if you want to make something and don't have the budget to risk going full time, you have to sacrifice certain things.

This idea that you get to do stuff that others don't (and expect any outcome of significance) while acting like "normal" people do is mind boggling.

If you want more than you have, in any form, you better get comfortable sacrificing: time, relationships, etc.
I don't believe any of the people saying this:

>oh no suddenly foreigners are paying huge amounts for speech we don't like

Are also saying this:

>money is speech and there are no values higher

Reddit is very young/liberal and I rarely see e.g. an argument in favor of citizens united. Do you have some examples?

You might be more interested in switching to a language that is more similar to Python but has similar benefits to Rust, like Nim. The learning curve won't be as bad and you'll get fast and portable compiled binaries.
The Nevada State Gaming Commission has pretty much solved that.

The thing I find ironic -- deploy a voting machine -- Maker: "Oh, no, we can't let you look at our code, it's waaaaay too complicated for you to understand. Trust us." But deploy a slot machine: "Nevada: Show us the code or go fish." Maker: "OK."
This reminds me of the asshole billionaires who shake down cities to get a free stadium for their stupid football, basketball or whatever team and have a bunch of regular people pay for their toy.
