Actually it does happen all the time for hard discs, but the disk itself uses error correcting codes so that it's rare to see an error exposed. The bigger use is in the Backblaze example where you have multiple discs and one may get flakey or fail entirely.

Oh so "in the future" she will be able to watch it without sound or to pause the video?

Seriously, who thought blocking this is a good idea? Do you really need to see an entire video to see it is against the rules? It will also save (a lot of) time

"Oh but then they can just do a shallow evaluation of the video" yeah I don't think that is the case with most of the videos.
Yes well, I always make sure my phone have expansion slots. I would never buy something I can't expand without having to buy a completely new thing.
Scientists/researchers in the past were paid by to say that sugar wasn't bad for you, and that fat was the culprit - we know this now to not be true.

There's research that emerging that is it's what you don't eat that - it's people who are eating meat + other bad things that causes problems and then allows the connection to meat as possibly being linked as the cause; there's barely any research of people just consuming meats and animal products.

Two videos I recommend everyone watch:

Dr. Georgia Ede - 'Our Descent into Madness: Modern Diets and the Global Mental Health Crisis' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXlVfwJ6RQU

Dr. Jason Fung - 'Therapeutic Fasting - Solving the Two-Compartment Problem' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIuj-oMN-Fk

Imaging meat is fine and it's when you hurt the body with other harmful foods that then causes your body to not function as well to process meat and other foods properly - and where other systems to clear/clean the body aren't or can't function optimally (think inflammation, insulin, excess of food/availability of calories, etc) - and not specifically because of the meat?

It's hard to know if oneself is ideology or propaganda, we've all been bombarded by things like government sponsored (influenced by food industrial complex) Food Pyramids, etc. our whole lives - or by fad diets looking to make money and marketing their own flavour of diet. The list goes on. Real research will happen that cuts through the confusion, people are waking up.
I would even go so far as to say he should just take that word out of his dictionary. There's never a time that it should serve it as a suggestion, IMO.
But theoretically you could just as well be a philosophical zombie, getting up and making a sandwhich. Electrical lights on in the brain but no light of consciousness.
I like using a level-order traversal because it makes your indexing very simple. For a binary tree you start with 1 and each node has children 2 * i and 2 * i + 1, and parent i / 2. You can do a inorder/preorder/postorder traversal using the typical methods, but for a level-order traversal all you need to do is walk through the backing array.

This also generalizes to k-trees. Start at node k-1. your children are ((i - k + 2) * k) through ((i - k + 2) * k) + (k - 1), and your parent is ((i / k) - 2 + k) with integer division. Once again this all fits nicely into a flat backing array and requires no extra memory to store children or parents.
Out of curiosity, who do you bank with?
Why wouldn't everyone's rent increase by whatever that tax is? There's already an incentive to create additional density, money. More units, more money. If there's some tax that the owner also has to account for that changes nothing. It's no different than any other increase in overhead. It just gets passed on.
Whoopsies, apparently Gaddis has been on my mind lately!
Well, that explains his Mario-tier jumping skills: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TCxE0bWQeQ

He talked about the trampoline on the Ellen Show, so yes, it still counts as a PR-y answer.
I actually like the "put a case on it" approach for robustness. It lets the devices be smaller, while leaving the degree of protection and bulkiness up to individual users. Case in point, I have a very slim case on my iPhone SE and tend not to drop it, but a lot of people I know with larger phones put the 2-layer rubber + plastic Otter style cases on them because they get dropped a lot. Others have smaller or no cases, but use pop-sockets and finger loops stuck on the back to make them grippable.

On the iPad side of things you have options like the Rugged Book Go from Zagg: https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/01/07/ipad-ipad-pro-get...

Apple's phones have turned into absurdly priced luxury items, but the $800 starting price for an 11" iPad Pro feels pretty reasonable for what it is.

EDIT - admittedly the hardware is overkill for running terminal sessions, something more like a Chromebook would be a cheaper fit if the battery life and screen were of similar quality

There is a law of capitalism for it though, which we have, as a species, put well above nature.

These jobs are only so shitty because Facebook can get people willing to put up with them.

We sit in ivory towers of decades learning to program to be qualified as software engineers making... what I would really call just a reasonable wage for where we, as humanity, are in terms of wealth creation, technology, and productivity. But those are skills built over extreme lengths of time most people don't have, and they will suffer their entire life for it in subsistence wages.

There are so few fields today where there is both demand for labor and a requirement of skill to gatekeep the "unwashed masses" from driving the wages to the wage floor. Probably the most damning information I know of is that the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that, one, the largest employment sectors are all unskilled, and two, they are the ones that will grow in the next decade [1]. US society is built on a foundation of despondent poor workers with no future and that foundation is intent to expand faster than fulfilling careers will... all of which make up only about 20-40% depending on how you interpret the data of actual employment.

And only have a 2 hour one-way commute!

As opposed to a 40 minute drive. It's truly a wonder that poor Americans aren't falling over head-over-heels to get on the non-automobile commute bandwagon. The bandwagon that either requires tripling their commute time, or living somewhere they can't afford.

In next week's discussion of the subject, we will look at the trade-offs of suggesting that the peasantry, when they lack bread, should turn to eating cake.
The work of Gapminder, and Hans Rosling in particular, was a major motivation for the work we do.

In fact, Max worked a lot with Hans Rosling in the past: in this BBC documentary on ending global poverty, for example (https://www.gapminder.org/videos/dont-panic-end-poverty/). You can find him listed as collaborator in the sources (https://www.gapminder.org/news/data-sources-dont-panic-end-p...).

As you say, Gapminder is one organization that takes data from published datasets and communicates it to a larger audience. The Gapminder foundation therefore has a similar mission – promoting fact-based world views, informing people about long-term changes in living standards. But Gapminder is not broadly focussed on global change – it does not cover violence, war, poverty, education, environmental change, etc. – and instead more narrowly focuses on health and demography. The areas of my own personal work: environment, food, and energy, for example, are not extensively covered there.

In fact, for those topics that lie outside of its focus, they often rely on us as input (you can find us referenced throughout their book 'Factfulness' for example). And similarly for us: for long-run trends on aspects such as child mortality or fertility rate, we reference their datasets (https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/child-mortality).

So our mission is very similar and we continue to collaborate, but our approach slightly different. Gapminder is narrower in focus and tries to capture a much more general audience. We go for more breadth and depth, and target a less wide (but still large) general audience.
You don't drive drunk, but other people do. breathalysers are only put in AFTER an offense. To eliminate the "first generation" drunk driving accidents would require preemptive installation of breathalysers on every car.

The way they are implemented now would be similar to only installing seatbelts in cars where the driver has already been in an accident. Similar sentiment was around when seatbelt laws were put in place, "I'm a good driver." but the seatbelt protects you from yourself crashing as well as when someone else crashes into you!

In the same way, breathalysers (ignition interlocks) for everyone wouldn't be "for you" as much as for everyone to prevent them from drinking and crashing into you.

I hadn't thought about widespread ignition interlocks, and obviously there would be a lot of public pushback, and it would be quite intrusive, but I could see it helping reduce traffic fatalities dramatically.

I don’t like Electron because slow and consumes too much RAM, but I have to admit they do have that unified API. It’s quite high-level, and relatively stable because there’s only a single implementation.
They are very young, nice kids, who have started from a pure aws standpoint. They started with AWS tutorials. These tutorials did not teach the full unix environment. The gaps in their knowledge is like the grande canyon. If they just read the O'reilly book on linux: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596154493.do. they would be miles ahead. But, their only interest is docker/kubernetes. Those technologies are great, but, they simply have massive gaps in their knowledge of the fundementals. They don't seem to like reading technical books from cover to cover. So they just read tutorials far enough to get the system started. Then they cut/paste from stackoverflow when problems arise. If that does not work, they blame the tools ("couched is too slow!"). Again, its not their fault, just the new dev culture. I freely admit I am an old fogey.

Most chromebooks fit this bill nicely. Pixelbook is fantastic if you also want a premium hardware experience and native ability to run a linux environment locally.
The cost savings have never been proven. If anything, they're proven to be miscalculated every time someones gives his numbers.

Self hosting is doable up to 2 or 3 servers with a very few services. Beyond that it's really suffering from the lack of tooling, the lack of isolation and the lead time of weeks to get anything more in place.

DELL wants to re verify by phone 3 times before they bill or ship anything. Don't ask me why, I don't know, I keep begging them to stop doing that.

I've had the API down about 4 times in a year, always for specific types of instance, if I remember the count well. Never more than a few hours. It's nothing in comparison to the weeks it takes to ship and setup physical hardware.
For the first year or so of my job, I actually used a chromebook to SSH into my work desktop to do work remotely. (I'm a Googler and they were pushing new hires to try the chromebook over the more traditional macbook/thinkpad.) It was fantastic! The chromebook itself basically does nothing so the battery life is absurd, 10-12 hours easy. The chromebook starts up really fast because, again, the machine itself does almost nothing. It's certainly nothing like the portability or the stupid long battery life of a TRS-80, but it's a step in that direction.

I later swapped to a macbook because the chromebook kept dying. In that 1 year period, I went through 3 chromebooks, which all ran into some kind of memory corruption or thermally-induced restart issue. It was the HP 13 inch chromebook, which I will be avoiding like the plague in the future. I still really like the chromebook battery life and the general "very lightweight portal to the internet" kind of paradigm, though.
If you prefer something more low level, then you can look at libraries like Plug, Maru, Raxx and others.

This is exactly the same for me... the hardest word to ever remember for as much as I use it.
Yep, I meant that:

1) my mom won't have an e-mail address with the surname of her first husband (my dad, passed away)

2) my brother-in-law (brother of my wife) surely won't have it

3) my cousins all have different surnames

4) my wife may accept one, but I talk with her every day and when we don't meet or talk via phone we tend to communicate via post-its on the fridge or similar
Hey,

I wanted to come back to share my AWS experience. In a nutshell, its even worse than what GCP Marketplace offers.

- Burried deep in the EULA details - the free version allows only 2 concurrent connections, just like the one on GCP. (here is the horrible EULA doc https://d7umqicpi7263.cloudfront.net/eula/product/fe8020db-5... )

- Experience of picking the type of product and launching is awful compared to GCP. Happy to share more details, but I definitely would say this is painful experience. GCP has done a much better job. I still honestly don't know whether I ended up subscribing to services that I don't really need/or will get billed. I just have to wait and see. (e.g had to create key value pair, security groups, I see a volume showing up in my EC2 dashboard, not sure if I am going to get billed for it! ). I don't work for either AWS or GCP, but honestly I feel GCP has done a much better job here. I don't like GCP marketplace OpenVPN also for the reasons I mentioned in my earlier post, but AWS is even worse.

- Here is their documentation for setting up and configuring OpenVPN through Marketplace - https://openvpn.net/vpn-server-resources/amazon-web-services... . I am honestly shocked that they did such a bad job for a so called "one-click" application. I honestly don't think this is even designed for personal. It's more like try-me bait before they ask you pay to have someone set it up for you.
And yet... how many other billionaires do you see going out and saying that the capital gains tax rate is too low and climate change is the biggest threat to humanity.
The article lists 'Adobe Acrobat Reader DC' for Linux but I don't see a Linux option at https://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ although there is an Android option, maybe there's a way to make that work on Linux, or use e.g. Windows 7 version of Acrobat with Wine. This page doesn't make it totally clear if the free reader is sane to use.

`git add --interactive` can be a great tool to learn in this case: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Interactive-Staging

In particular, the ability to only stage specific "hunks" at a time (interactive "patch" in the nomenclature of git) can make it possible to "untangle" multiple changes in your working directory into separate commits.

Ok, so there should be reciprocal European law: any company operating in the EU must provide access to the EU authorities (all countries) any data managed by it and stored in any country in the world (so including US data stored in the US), otherwise it would get big fines or interdiction to operate in the EU.
(PS: I don't want that, it should work like extradition but with real reciprocity)

BitWarden is open source and popular at my current client. You didn't specify your platform, but I took a look at BitWarden's macOS app and it seems to be some sort of hybrid app. Definitely not as good as 1Password, but that one isn't open source and has a monthly cost.
I've always thought that the advent of self-driving cars will contribute to urban sprawl and lower housing prices. I'd happily live somewhere with a 1 hr commute if rent was $3k/month cheaper and I could get work done on the way there and back with no distractions.
> Absolutely. It showed that browsing the proper Web on a phone was something feasible to do.

In 2007, the proper web involved tons of Flash. Flash video players, Flash games, Flash-based interactive websites. None of those worked on the iPhone.

Its web browsing ability wasn't much better than what you could already get on keyboard-based phones like Nokia, Blackberry and Samsung. On the iPhone you did pinch to zoom, and on the other smartphones, you were served the WAP version of the page, or you could browse the full page with the scrollwheel.
I'm on Mac and using a mouse, and that combination is definitely deleting pieces and not letting me make connections.
Computing power on AWS costs 3x+ as much as the naively calculated cost of buying and running servers. Of course there are situations where running your own servers actually is cheaper. You are arguing the impossibility of something people are doing right now, so...?!
But beach sand DOES compute, once treated and arranged in a certain way.

The garbage man metaphor is a good one since those are actually pretty cushy gigs (at least around the northeast). They're a unionized workforce that has opportunity for overtime and is a pretty mindless, albeit skilled workforce.

Of course, that only happened after years of organizing and strikes. These are actions that I'm sure Cognizant could quell in a pinch - if Phoenix makes demands, they temporarily outsource to India and set up a new center in Albuquerque or Tuscon.

This may sound out of touch, but if Facebook wants to maintain this workforce and avoid more bad PR, they may need to restructure this as a flexible or incentive-driven environment. I'm trying really hard not to suggest "uberifying" or "gigging" the work, but allowing moderators to choose their hours or content type for the day could turn this into a desirable role.

And paying them more and improving their care, without a doubt. Subjecting people to that kind of trauma for next to minimum wage sounds like a class action suit in the making.
Sadly, I have.

Wouldn’t you have to look how COMMAND.COM implemented * matching then, assuming that the filename buffer has a similar fixed length fields representation?

“What is my body trying to tell me with that tight stomach, sunken heart, clenched shoulders?”

I have been reading Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach and this is one of the themes that keeps repeating in that book and in general in meditation. To understand one's mind and the root cause of an emotion one need to focus the attention on how one's body feels and what it's trying to say. While meditation is now widely accepted as beneficial, I have generally been less accepting or even dismissive of the surrounding teachings and method. I think it's time to revisit my views and be more open to it.
The places I see it the most are in routing and access control components. Here's a convoluted example in my router, not common throughout the application.

<Route
path="/petition/:petitionId/page/next"
render={({ match }) => (
<InRoles
roles={Roles.pageReviewer}
deny={`/`}
allow={PS(match.params.petitionId, SECTION.PAGES, null, ({ petitionId }) => (
<PageReviewNextPage petition={petitionId} page={'-'} direction={1} />
))}
/>
)}
/>

Route comes from react-router. InRoles is internal to the application and accepts a string or function/component... if it's a string it redirects as appropriate, or renders. if null/empty just hides the result. PS is a function that returns a nested/common component structure.

A more simple example would be...

<Fragment>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" render={({ location }) => <Home search={location.search} />} />

Yep and great battery life and the battery is swappable. So I carry a spare 9 cell which, using ubuntu/i3wm, gives me close to 30 hours.

About dying suddenly; that goes, in my experience, far more for new hardware. Old hardware (especially if we are talking ‘ancient’ hardware like before 1995) has a lot more signs of giving up and a lot easier ways of fixing it when it does. I have machines that dies that first started smoking so you could pinpoint what component gave out. The x220 is not quite that old but because I have a stack of spares but one favorite, I have been able to fix it after it suddenly died quite easily without just replacing the entire thing. That will not happen when your 2018 mbp suddenly dies.
