infiniband - The high performance interconnect by Mellanox
I've been taking melatonin for the last 3 months since cutting out alcohol and it seemed to help with falling into a sleep. As Friday I stopped taking it because I don't want to be reliant on something for sleep other than exercise and proper diet. Anecdotally, my sleep the last three nights since cutting it out have been horribly restless and not fulfilling. I'd rather not take it but if after a week normal sleep doesn't return I might since it sounds like it's relatively benign compared to other sleep aids.

Are there any longitudinal studies about years of usage?
i really feel for people who drive themselves crazy over their work, its impact, and their overall purpose. My poor wife struggles and suffers constantly over these things year after year.

Maybe i'm just mentally handicapped in some way but i like to code and solve business problems and so i'm a consultant who codes and solves business problems. I've never thought about if my work is meaningful, it's impact whether good or bad, or worried i'm not pursuing the true purpose of my life. It just doesn't come to mind.
Why not grow hydroponically with the Kratky method instead? It's basically the Ronco Rotisserie of hydroponics - just set it and forget it.

This is a fairly good intro video to the method:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqtXLiSCsQE

I only spent ~£30 on all of the supplies to set up my system and have grown lettuce, rocket, spinach, tomatillos, and peppers in my apartment. It's fantastic and simple and will allow me to have a supply of fresh green food after Brexit.

If you’re interested in hoby hydroponics, it’s a great way to start.

Here's a link to the original Kratky paper on the method:

"that would have been «technologically superior» to what the native Americans would have had, since they had boats, not ships"

Technological superiority as in "the air [or aura] of invincibility"¹ that conquistadors acquired in their campaigns. That required quite a difference in military capabilities and skill to leverage that superiority into an exploitable psychological effect. I'm sure there were plenty of technological advantages over native Americans, but I'm not so sure that those were enough to have the same impact as that had for the later Spanish conquest force.

"Mali also had guns so I’m not sure how Mali couldn’t have been seen as more technologically advanced"

I doubt that gunpowder had at that time a significant use in Middle East², let alone in some far western parts of Africa. That use was initially reduced to casted-on-the-spot direction-fixed heavy bombards, used in fortress sieges, not against dispersed groups of infantry. It took time for technology to be developed into hand-wielding guns like the Arquebus. Add to that it would have been a stretch for some attacking force accustomed to dry weather to rely on gunpowder in (probably unexpected) tropical/equatorial wetlands.

Please consider providing a positive narrative - "this started a trend, this expanded it, that was the result, here's where we are at presently, that's the expected future". Picking apart a succinct and sourced (even if weakly) post is much less convincing.

Having been part of the "culture war"[1], I nonetheless couldn't just post my lived experience here, as it wouldn't stand on its own. Thus I went out of my way to build up narrative from supporting sources. It's not exactly how I perceived it personally, but that's the closest version I could support with sources, i.e., as close to objective as I could provide in under 15 minutes or so.

I think it's more to do with the nature of many jobs. Whether it's open office layout, lack of job security, increased work load, lack of control, lack of meaning, I really do think office jobs have become shittier, and perhaps IT especially as it becomes more of a 'commodity'.

Blaming the resulting problems on the worker is a rather common way of justifying these kinds of abuses (either as internalized by the worker, and as a way for employers to keep feeling like they're good people).
I largely agree... but to offer more nuance you need to know what the right amount of automation versus toil is right for your project. It's worth reading the Google SRE [0] books, especially the workbook, if you're thinking about running and operating a service.

Complexity is the enemy in software engineering as much as it is in operations engineering. Sustainable reliability is about doing as little as you can get away with to achieve the reliability results that make your customers happy. That does mean following the advice of TFA and avoiding going straight to k8s for a small indie site that could be deployed with a simple Ansible/Puppet script. However it also means defining what your targets are and having indicators so that you're not relying on your gut instincts either: aim for 60% toil, 40% automation at first. Whatever the right balance is review it regularly as you scale your project up.

You can do a lot with a couple of beefy VPSs and a solid database these days.

It is decidedly not a non sequitur. My argument is that selective moderation by you, the site owner, is worse than no moderation by you. If you go about only moderating the things you see, moderation on the platform is now directly correlated to your preferences on what you read and now open to your bias. Do you want an open discussion, or a discussion guided by you? To be clear, I'm in favor of moderation based on principles and thoroughness, but against moderation only when when it suits you.

Moreover, your tone and attitude about these things is not helpful. If you continue to dismiss people with valid points out of hand, so will the rest of the commentariat here. With great power comes great responsibility.

Clojure is a great language on its own, like many articles show. But it feels like a big chore when you are doing business apps. You are between these two worlds, debugging imperative java code/libs and debugging clojure functional code/libs at the same time.

That's because the device is input only. By default Ardour uses the same device for capture and monitoring. The reason is that different audio devices have their own internal clocks, and using more than one devices introduces clock drift.

You get around this be setting JACK to use the snowball device for capture only (and by doing so you are using its clock) and then attach whatever device you are using for monitoring as a JACK client using zita_j2a from the zita-ajbridge tools package.
>> Its two boats – Stjernesund, which accommodates up to 28 people, and Sulejet, carrying up to 16 – also offer twice-daily passenger service for locals year-round [...] Gåsvær is flexible with timings and allows passengers to call in advance to book their spot for 55 kroner (about £5).

I'm missing something here. How can 55 kroner possibly cover the cost of doing anything with such vessels? I assume there is some sort of government backing for this service. That is all well and good, but I live in an area with similar problems (Coastal BC). Maintaining services to remote villages is one thing, subsidizing

If a supposedly-very-safe type of hardware kills a bunch of people twice in similar-looking incidents, that is very worrying.

It's a rational reaction to look at these incidents and go "yeaah, I'm going to try and avoid those planes" regardless of whether official reports are out or not.
These kind of hashes are used for hash tables, where you want a good compromise between speed and low collision probability. They can also be used as checksums to detect accidental data modification.

They are not meant for cryptographically strong fingerprinting.

Sure, but for performance purposes, faster performance is better.
Python did have some scheme to do something like this. If you were using gevent, you needed to call gevent.monkey_patch() to override all the network calls that you were making under the hood, so that they would happen on the event loop.

Yes, gevent did have a reference to the classes it was patching, but it still made pretty deep changes to a program.

It was janky and has been replaced several times by other async frameworks. It doesn't go as far as javascript to be sure, but it is sort of what you're suggesting.

General purpose computers networks and software are far from optimal for high speed trading. A few years back ACM Communications published a comprehensive white paper of trading communications bottlenecks including the effect of virtual memory page faults and TCP/IP collisions. Dedicated trade networks want custom software without virtualization features. Or if you dont want to develop that much, use the ancient real time UNIX NASA has in its space probes like VxWorks.

In a few weeks there is annindie film called The Hummingbird Project about avrace between firms to build the fastest dedicated trading line.
Car companies operate their own testing units at their factories. I don’t see how this is different from self certification.

Ex: “Today in Tokyo, Nissan joined the increasing list of automakers who have admitted to falsifying emissions and/or fuel economy figures. The company said it had uncovered falsified data from car exhaust emissions tests at most of its plants based in Japan.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterlyon/2018/07/09/nissan-adm...

Trust but verify is common worldwide for this stuff. Otherwise governments would need to install and operate a lot of equipment at every factory worldwide.
I think morally it's the wrong direction, much like paying a dividend to victims of a polluting chemical factory to offset their deleterious health effects.

That said, putting a price on data may be what it takes to make companies take privacy and security seriously, simply because it might make it easier to argue standing in a lawsuit where data is leaked or mishandled. Similarly, putting a price on life seems insensitive, but wrongful death lawsuits motivate safety concerns.
To me, the most interesting part:

>> Even if [...] worse hash functions will lead to more collisions, the overall speed advantage beats the slightly worse quality.
Faster is better for non-cryptographic hashes (like this one) and for cryptographic hashes (like SHA-2, MD5, etc.)

For password hashing, you generally want a work function to increase the resource usage, or some alternative way of making cracking harder. That’s the case you’re thinking of, and it’s a very specific application, not what this new hash function is designed for.

TRP has done a great job of appropriating decent life advice and using it to make their misogynistic message more palatable. They're not the first group, nor the last, to employ this technique.

I would really encourage you to review the study again. For example, the authors themselves acknowledged a lot of legitimate reader concerns with the inclusion of this statement:

"These observational studies have 4 important limitations. First, current anticholinergic use was ascertained at study entry and periodically during follow-up only by conducting a medication inventory. Second, these studies lacked information about the dose and duration of anticholinergic use. Third, these studies had short follow-up periods. This last point is important because the pathophysiological changes in the brains of patients with AD require several years to occur. Finally, these studies did not take into account that certain anticholinergics are used to manage insomnia and depression, prodromal conditions that can be seen in early but undiagnosed dementia, leading to protopathic bias."

I had other concerns as well, and these items alone are a pretty big deal. Like I said above, the _quality_ of the establishment of a "link" is really leaving much to be desired here. This is barely even legitimate science, where any kind of causality is concerned.

I have the same concerns and every doctor I ask tells me the study show no long term effects at all.

One explanation: I tend to take melatonin when I am very tired and didn't get enough sleep the previous night. But on those nights I sleep very well anyway. And once I have enough sleep I don't sleep as deeply the next night. Perhaps that is a lurking variable for me.

Do you have a fitbit or something to track the sleep?

The theory is if one computer fails due to bad data from a faulty sensor, you've got another computer ready that hasn't seen said data [1]. It'd be pretty bad if bad data from a single sensor broke both computers at the same time.

Obviously, the Lion Air flight did crash, so this no longer seems like such a wise design.

Paper ballots aren't secure either, who's to guarantee that your paper ballot was recorded correctly? In many countries paper ballots have been tampered with, altering elections (Venezuela, South Korea). Remember Bush vs. Gore in 2000? I don't understand why people are so trusting of paper ballots, I would much prefer an e-voting system where my vote can be verified afterwards.

You don't need to inspect every internet connection, there's HTTPS.

The key is that one should be able to verify one's vote to ensure that it was properly recorded. If everyone can verify their own vote, then they can verify that the voting wasn't hacked. With paper voting, it is impossible to verify your own vote - it is equivalent to tossing it into a black box.

One might say "then people can sell votes!", but as Estonia has done, you can have it so that one can vote multiple times. And of course there should be extraordinarily stiff penalties on anyone buying/selling votes (I'd say minimum $30k or 20% of one's total wealth fine + prison time).

Needing paper ballots is holding back democracy. E-voting would revolutionize democracy and for the first time in history allow a true direct democracy at scale. Of course e-voting cannot be conducted by emailing votes or some other insecure nonsense like that, but it is ludditism to suggest that it cannot be achieved, which many seem to suggest. This kind of thinking is literally holding society back.

Best free (as in beer) thing for streaming, I'll give you. But I switched to vMix as my primary video mixing software and won't look back until OBS has significantly better audio management. vMix literally got $700 out of me because it integrated a good, ASIO-capable mixer into it.

A vMix Call equivalent that transparently wires into the audio board would also be really nice, but I don't wanna get greedy.
I think you misunderstood my point, which was that we're clearly seeing a massive global trend towards privacy and rights thereto. The GDPR is a manifestation of this trend, and has further sensitized consumers.

Cambridge Analytics happened at a time when neither processors nor consumers were yet very sensitive to the topic of privacy. This has changed dramatically, and the GDPR is not the cause thereof, but a consequence thereof.

Of course the GDPR is not binding in California, but it should be at least thought-provoking in California.
The difference is that writing code is useful to many people who aren't professional programmers. I'm a research scientist, not a programmer, for example. But writing code to analyze my data gives me an advantage over people who just put everything in Excel because they can't code.

A lot of companies today are very focused on “rapid growth”, being “fast growing”, staying in a “hockey stick trajectory” and talk about it as if that’s the only way to grow or reason to hire. If you’re not growing, you’re dwindling.

I've had enough of that.

Slow is great. Slow is thoughtful. Slow is mindful. Slow is calm. Recently a book came out about companies who challenge this concept. Companies who say that growth doesn't just mean "more": "Company of One" by Paul Jarvis.

The idea isn't necessarily new, but it's definitely challenging the status quo. I'd love to change that, but these companies, by definition, don't hire often.

Unfortunately, it still is really hard to find such companies, and even harder to filter them out from the endless job posts of the "fast growing startups".

This job board tries to change that, by giving people a place to find such companies, and companies a place to put their rare openings and finding like-minded people.

I found no dose effect (weird, intuitively, I know). I ate a packet of gummy bears that, I didn't realize, turned out to be melatonin gummies! I think the packet had something like 15 mg. I was on a flight from china and had barely slept the night before (becuase of flight connections). I fell asleep for 2 hours and then I was awake for the flight. Conversely, I've taken 1.5mg and slept soundly.
There are plenty of technical organizations that do meaningful and beneficial work, although they aren't all going to be in California paying $150k+. I don't see how I'd ever be able to maintain motivation while working 50+ hour weeks on advertising or content delivery. The main reason I declined a private tech sector position to work for the federal government is because I hope to be a part of something which moves the needle ever-so-slightly in the right direction.

"But he is by no means the richest man of all time. That title belongs to Mansa Musa, the 14th Century West African ruler who was so rich his generous handouts wrecked an entire country's economy."

How can anyone, let alone the BBC, make this claim? There aren't any records or any legitimate evidence to seriously compare wealth between eras. But even without records, we can safely say that mansa musa wasn't anywhere near the richest man in the 14th century where the khanates of the mongol empire, the holy roman empire, ottoman empire, etc reigned supreme.

Why make a claim as if it was a statement of fact when it is a conjecture at best?

And is a website called "Celebrity Net Worth" really anything that the BBC should be sourcing? What's the point of this article? It's not news. It's not history. Why did I spend a few minutes reading this article?

The first time I heard of mansa musa was years ago on reddit's TIL, but even there, it was ridiculed as being clickbait nonsense. Now the BBC is at it?
