> One of the most important points that rarely come up in these discussions is that schizophrenia is not one illness but a bunch of different ones grouped together that we haven't figured out how to differentiate. You can find several patients that share very few symptoms.

Exactly.

I remember meeting someone at an alumni networking event who worked with mentally ill people, including schizophrenics. He explained to me that a lot of his patients had extreme sleep apnea, and their CPAPs were turned up much higher than a typical sleep apnea patient.

His theory was that some of his patients were mentally ill due to their sleep disorder.
Just curious. Have you done a serious analysis of how much you’ll need in your retirement savings to be able to live a comfortable life when you’re no longer earning (due to lack of desire to work or lack of opportunities to work)? Say you live till you’re 90. I’m asking because many times people think about the present and say they don’t need any more money, but don’t think about the future when they won’t be able to earn.
I don't think Julia has aped Matlab's conventions as such [1]. There are languages that have done this (Scilab, Octave) but those were developed as Matlab clones. Julia isn't a Matlab clone.

No, it's more like Julia has taken "Matlab: The Good Parts" as well as practices from modern languages and created a new language with them that is morphologically familiar to Matlab users, yet is an entirely new design.

[1] Except for 1-indexing, but that was a carryover from Fortran, which in turn adopted it from linear algebra convention and it seriously isn't that bad. I wrote production Matlab for 12-years and 1-indexing was the least of my troubles. It's a theoretical polarizing issue like Python's use of whitespace, but in practice it's not an issue.
Why do you want to increase your work rate? I find having an external goal can help drive productivity, at least a bit.

i don't see a lot of good faith in your arguments if you keep sticking to 4tx/sec and measuring bitcoin costs in per-transaction terms.

i'll repeat and lets see how much good faith you have: payment channels encapsulate potentially unlimited amount of transactions which completely refutes all your calculations.
The everyday consumer did not have access to the Internet until the 90's when it was commercialized. True, it "existed" before that, it was primarily education / academia and defense-related orgs that had access.

BBSes were primarily text based... early Internet providers opened up access to Usenet newsgroups, email, IRC, etc. which made traditional BBSes look like a toy in comparison. The web put the nail in the coffin, but they were already on their way out before then.
Interestingly the plan mandates the use of IPv6 pretty much everywhere, as well as FTTH to all homes in all cities across the PRD. It doesn't give the reason why these specific technologies are mentioned in what's meant to be a strategic plan though.

Looks good.

From a personal point of view, I don't like projects that have missing letters in the name. I find them confusing to read and harder to type (even after I've learned how to pronounce it). In fact even after using `nginx` for years, I still get stuck which letters to type if ever I interrupt my muscle memory.

eg I'm in the terminal and I want to launch flat-reader... now which letters do I type and which do I ignore?

If you're after something that's less keystrokes to launch then I much prefer the approach of applications like Visual Studio Code (`code`) or Sublime Text (`subl3`) that take a portion of the name. So you could have something like `flatr`.

That all said, you're never going to please everyone when it comes to naming things to I expect (hope) you do take my thoughts here with a pinch of salt :)

As for the reader itself; it looks like a lot of thought has gone into it. Good work there.

> Chronic illness patients not only face painful physical symptoms, but also mental ones that linger even when the disease is well controlled.

I could talk a lot about the article, but this lesson should standout.

With a chronic illness, you are forced either by stigma or because you like maintaining relationships, to hide or pretend the symptoms of your disease is better than it is.

This creates loneliness, in someone already under significant strain.

This month an article was published, examining suicide rates in people suffering from my own non-fatal chronic illness. They're ten times higher than the general population, and are unaccompanied by the usual suicide markers. It's no surprise to me.

Chronic illnesses can vary day to day, and having a support network than can support you when things unexpectedly go to pot is essential... And it's essential that the support network won't collapse the moment you do.

If you have the support network... It's essential you use it when you need it, unfortunately, in my experience most people can only really be there for you so often, and people can unexpectedly fail to be the ones helpful to you.

That will be one of the most painful lessons to learn. Who to trust, and how often you can lean on someone else, and what you can lean on others for. Everyone is different, and their circumstances change too, which means every response will be different.

Every symptom, flare and even remission is a mental assault. Make sure you have people manning the battlements.

Electron is fundamentally a packaging system, not a programming environment. It let's you write a web app in HTML, JavaScript, and CSS and deploy it as a desktop app on all three OS platforms.

So, to learn Electron, you just need to learn web programming, which is useful for nearly all programmers. One super cool thing about Electron is that you can package up any frameworks or other dependencies inside your same desktop app, giving you the whole world of web development tools and techniques without making your end user install any of them.
This should surprise no one. I believe this has been known for a while now. This is one of the many reasons I have location services and GPS disabled on my Android and have all that tracking/history disabled in my Google account. GPS is only ever enabled precisely when I need it and only at those times (for navigation only).

I also disable my wifi as well for the same reason - Google is able to track your location based on that, and they absolutely do so. I've seen it documented elsewhere. Only if you really need wifi enabled should you use it.

Also, call me crazy but I'm pretty sure there is a legal requirement that mandates that warrants be very specific about who/what they apply to and what they expect to find in order to be justifiable.
They discuss this in the article and the linked study which did the transplants. You're best off consulting those.
oh yeah, they have so much control, they've totally fixed the problem of torrenting, child porn and illegal markets.

Currently? No I don't believe that this infrastructure comes close to providing the functions of the financial industry, and as such the energy comparison are completely spurious.

The smart contracts languages can have whatever intent they like, the fact is that comparing the power use of a full financial system to something which is effectively operating as a bad payment processor is so wrong it's funny.
Apple needs to spend its money first on fixing the bugs in its existing code base, second on innovating within their established markets, and third on innovating in new markets.

Bricks-and-mortar stores? The eighties called--they want their business model back.

Apple was run by a creative dictator; now they are run by weak-minded marketing slime. We need some of the old.

Every time Apple does something new, I have the same reaction that made Steve want to make a blue box. Force me to do two-factor? Need a hack. Stop IOS apps from getting MAC addresses? Need a hack. New networking framework that doesn't do broadcast in IPV4? Need a hack. Old devices iCloud locked even though they were given away? Need to buy a NAND flasher. BTLE too buggy to use? OK, I give up at this point.

The marketroid asshats in charge of Apple now are exactly what drove Steve to create it in the first place. If you whittle away at the user experience long enough, the engineers and developers will start to leave. The users will slowly follow. It's a death spiral.

I am now torn between hacking everything Apple that I own (starting with a decent content filter for Safari), going back to Windows, adapting the TX2 to run something really cool, and starting my own thing.

Whichever way, it's goodbye Apple. I just bought a used 2015 MacBook Pro for MacOS/IOS development (simply due to the inertia of having to maintain existing code) and I'm looking hard at Samsung's Galaxy Tab S.

To the original point, yes, you're right. I see there's a nascent community, still fairly small outside the iOS community but it exists.

But to add to my point... unfortunately, none of those are in the realm of numerical computation or anything remotely connected to the Tensorflow domain.

If a Tensorflow user needed to interact with the ecosystem, it would seem that there's not much in place because the folks currently in the Swift community don't work in those fields, whereas Julia folks do. It's not just C interop, but the presence of mature dataframe libraries, a linear algebra layer (that doesn't involve direct calls to BLAS or Lapack), etc.

Now that is not to say that with Google's backing, the community won't shift, but that will take time and uptake is uncertain, whereas with Julia that community alignment already exists.

And the Julia community didn't start out being platform-centric, so it has a broader base. I use Windows at work (because bigcorp) and there's currently no officially sanctioned Swift I can install, but there's an official Julia binary.

Again, not to put Swift down. It's just a very curious choice for Tensorflow is all.

On the other hand, most -if not all- of tomato sauces in the UK are so acidic that Spaniards living in the UK are importing tomato sauce from Spain (as it has a bit of added sugar). It might be similar with actual Italians, so maybe this example is just that you're used to your way of having tomato sauce :)

Typical setup in the past is to boot into Ubuntu on a persistent usb drive. But i have been pleasantly surprised with my productivity using Google Cloud Shell. It basically consists of a performant terminal in Chrome. But combined with the Developers Console, it becomes a powerful environment for both building and deploying server side applications and long running tasks. I'd like to see more web based tools that allow for instant productivity when it comes to common scenarios: serving some static file assets, locking secrets in a vault, or calling third party APIs. There is much potential in this space ;)

For me that one happens very often when I'm falling asleep, in my dreams, after waking in the middle of the night, or in the early hours before I get up.

Many of my more annoying problems have been solved that way.

I knew an old Vietnamese refugee who was an electrical engineer working on maintaining and repairing portable stage lighting ballasts. He used to tell me how he would dream about the circuits and debug them then after spending a week of just staring dumbly at the physical thing—not accomplishing anything while at work, then come in the next day and finish inside of an hour.
> nope, you're the one talking nonsense. when your bank tells you you have $100 on your account - it's a lie, all you have is a record in a database and never actual $100 in a safe to back that up.

Don't care.

> all you have is trust that the bank will provide you $100 when you ask for it.

Yup, turns out this trust is pretty good, it's backed up by all sorts of regulations and insurance, all sorts of protections and security, and in the last resort by the state.

> when you have 100BTC, you actually have 100BTC.

Who cares? When I have $100 in my wallet, I actually have $100.

You completely fail to address the point - when making a transaction, removing the bank from the picture actually hurts purchasers and demands far more trust.

https://waitbutwhy.com/ (bit cheesy but alright).
First off, I would never equate "faith" with "belief", nor would most atheists in my experience. As human beings, we have to make decisions. Sometimes we have to make decisions without the time, experience, or resources to make them in an optimal way. So we can make decisions based on what we know about the world, or we can make decisions based on ignorance.

Furthermore, we often have to justify our decisions to other people or against our own moral principles. Belief is what your brain does with prior knowledge and experiences that you have, and it is often invoked to justify decisions made with experience. On the other hand, we sometimes have to justify decision that are based in ignorance. We have a really good word for this: hope. Usually you're just getting lucky. Or you say "I did this because I didn't know what else to do, and I didn't know how to find something better." (You can also call hope a sort of emotion, if you're just commenting on other peoples' decisions rather than evaluating your own.) You're hopeful that it will work, even if you don't have any knowledge or experience that it will. Usually, this is not ideal. You'd always rather do the right thing because you know what the right thing is, rather than doing it on accident. There's no way to teach your methods of victory if you only win your battles on accident!

Faith is not belief per se, nor is it hope, though it looks a bit like both on the surface. Faith is what happens when you say it is good/important to make decisions based on hope. It is the promotion of ignorance as a virtue, rather than as an unfortunate fact of life which we must work to overcome. Faith is a particular belief that hope is better than knowledge, at least sometimes.

If you're having unsatisfying discussions with atheists, it is probably because you're failing to make these distinctions. Most atheists will tell you they believe things. Those beliefs are based in knowledge and experience with the world. They will also tell you they have hope. They will not tell you they have faith, because they don't want to promote ignorance as a virtue.
So what I'm somewhat curious about is if this isn't an argument for heterogeneous GPU usage. Schedule this on an iGPU while the main GPU is busy. The main downside, as I alluded to above, would be memory bandwidth unless there is a good on die cache for the iGPU or it has dedicated memory. That said with a multi-gpu setup you might also have another card you could use.

The other thought I have is that it's very difficult to keep the GPU 100% saturated in my experience. If the vertex count is high enough to make the PCI-e transition worth it (and it would seem to be), then you can potentially cycle steal a bit on the main GPU. This will potentially slow down the main render but speed up the overall. This would be particularly true if you can rebind the resource back for use in the main render pipe.
There are faster algorithms than 3 nested for loops.
Law enforcement will just go to the carriers who have your rough location data regardless of your GPS settings. They probably aren't keeping detailed tracklogs like Google today but I'm sure some fat government contracts can fix that.
