I graduated with a bachelor's in Physics 10 years ago, but I have been working as an actuary for the past 8 years.

Navigating the politics and culture of the academic world never really made sense to me, and at the time I felt that I was not smart enough to ever really make a meaningful contribution to Physics.

I do not regret studying physics; I think the mental stimulation and growth I gained from those challenging 4 years of study have served me very well and actually made me a smarter human. However, I am happy to apply the logical rigor and analytical skills I learned to more simple and immediate problems in business.
Same. I’ve been to the factory. Love this backpack.
Pretty open-ended question! I bought an Osprey Flapjack Pack [0] in a rare impulse buy while I was at an event that happened to be selling them. I didn't know anything about them, except it seemed pretty sturdy, comfortable and I was in the market for a new backpack. That was in 2015, and it still looks new. I like that it has an orange lining inside, which makes it really easy to find things.

When things go wrong, information overload is a problem.
On Windows, you do need some effort if you have no idea what is going on, but it isn't like those systems were sloppily put together, there are some design ideas and you get used to them... eventually. But once you do, things more or less fall into place.

A biggest issue with working on older Windows APIs is that modern web-based MSDN documentation is simply awful and the best you can do is to find old MSDN CDs/DVDs that often contained more information than the site (especially articles), better organization and -especially- much faster interface (being local and all, but also the cdroms around late 90s / early 2000s were in CHM format are lightweight). And 99.999% of the documentation you'll find on these CDs will have the same text as the documentation (if it still there) on MSDN (and very often the same text that is on the much older WinHelp WIN32SDK.HLP files too).

Like most things Microsoft on desktop, everything went downhill since .NET people took over and decided to redo things their way (yes, .NET brought some nice things too, but it created an internal schism - before .NET became a thing, desktop tech in Windows was mostly coherent) and now history is repeated with UWP.

PC Mag is mainstream media, now? How many readers do you think it has compared to a national newspaper?

It's hardly a conspiracy - the worldviews of these people are formed in the same crucibles and result in the same outcomes. They want to manipulate the narrative to ensure the right outcomes, in their view.

To me, as a German, doombolt calling himself a Russian nationalist is no signal for downvoting, but rather a signal that the answers that he will give could be from a pro-Russian perspective - so only ask if you are sufficiently open-minded to hear answers that might change your mind or are outside your echo chamber.
AWS Config provides essentially all of nodes and edges required to build a nice resource graph, but unfortunately it's quite limited in the services it covers.

>Server-rendered used to mean slow and clunky

I don't get why everyone keeps saying this. Is it because of WordPress? In 2005 I used my own MVC framework with ORM and stuff. It was written in PHP. My pages had the usual generation time of 0.03 seconds. And that was with no specialized caching or any crazy optimizations. Even with no AJAX, page loading seemed instant, unless you connected to the server from across the world.
Just like Putin.

I'd bet you a dollar they're just dialing numbers sequentially; while they're specifically targeting Chinese folks, I very much doubt it's more cost effective to pre-filter phone lists.

That's not exactly true. The people elected members to Parliament. Those MPs selected a government, with Major at its head. It was a close decision - Major almost lost the confidence of the House - but the treaty was not signed by some rogue autocrat.

Really no different than any other treaty in the UK. Not everything must be put to a public vote. The Executive has the power to sign treaties. Parliament may only advise, or in the extreme, withdraw confidence and call for a new government.
This seems like a relatively moderate view, and I like how it breaks down the individual freedom of intentioned users vs. the freedom of users who have no intention of seeing said content.

But at the end of the day, aren't the companies who are providing payment processing or website hosting profiting off of extremism and hate? If you'll recall, the reason why they started deplatforming individuals to begin with was that large swaths of people boycotted their services until they chose to no longer do business with said extremists.

Isn't that voting with our dollars? Isn't that the Free Market of Ideas in action?
It's almost has if big companies were regulated but personal websites were not.

Laravel is definitely Rails inspired, but also takes inspiration from a lot of other frameworks (CodeIgniter, Symfony, .NET, etc).
How does it look from your perspective at Russian prospects post-Putin? He's not that old but he has to retire at some point right?
I don't think the omission is because discussing Bostrom or Yudkowsky's ideas would genuinely be depressing. It's because the writer is a snob, or at least doesn't rate them as intellectuals. I kind of agree with him.
Go has libraries, more than you can count, for CRMs, PDF, GUIs (and TUIs), and DBs (including standard library support for SQL).

I actually try to use as few libraries as possible. Unlike the C# and Java developers I actually know how to code and can whip up something to do exactly what I need in the same time it takes you to read your Javadocs.
Goruck GR1. I’ve used it daily for over 5 years, including as my only bag for multiple business trips to India and all across the US. I bought Gorucks for my kids as they were wearing out backpacks every year.

Playing cards can be a nexus of strong emotions and violence, and they exemplify the uncertainty of life and the greed/addictive tendencies of living things. From that perspective then seem as much a magical talisman as chicken guts and such.

From the other direction, a card shark might say that doing magic with cards makes it a practical skill and takes away the magic :)
Not really. It's more about the purpose of the site/app.

If your site is mostly content based, then you likely don't need an SPA. That's the ideal use case for a traditional website done with whatever you use (in this case Django/Rails). A wiki, a blog/news site, a business info site, etc... all those are 100% use cases for traditional sites.

You also need to ask how often a user will interact with the app and what they'll do. A forum probably doesn't need to be a SPA, since people won't (for the most part) be auto refreshing the page non stop for hours, they'll be coming back periodically to check for new content.

On the other hand, if your site needs regular updates, users are going to be using it for hours on end, it replicates a desktop program, etc... then that's a good SPA use case.

Team size is more an issue of management and splitting things into components.
REI Ruckpack 28 (https://www.rei.com/product/118790/rei-co-op-ruckpack-28-pac...)

I bike commute with it every time, sometimes with a laptop, and it is wonderful. I really enjoy that it sits on my back comfortably while pedaling and has enough venting to not leave me crazy sweaty.
On the one hand, I want strong air pollution control policies. Death or no, I don't like to see smog in this SLC valley.

On the other hand, I don't want an distorted views on evidence. We know what we know and if we aren't sure, we should say so. It's not good to misinterpret data no matter how righteous your goals are.

It's not unsolvable, there are detailed proposals for how to solve it and after announcing loudly they would never work, the EU recently changed its mind and announced they'd already started preparations for it.

The only reason the Irish border is being described as "unsolvable" is because that suits the agenda of people who want the referendum to be ignored (as in Europe they always are).

5.11 All Hazards Nitro.

Pretty heavy, but I like it a lot, holds my laptop and other gadgets, clothing, etc. And if I need to get out, this one won't let me down - I volunteer for a local SAR team sometimes (or, more lately, a lot).
>> A normal flight should not encounter this.

What is your source? This is not what I have been reading. What I have been reading is that the MAX has a bigger engine and this engine has been positioned forward on the wing in order to preserve ground clearance. As a result of this unusual engine position, the MAX has a tendency to pitch up during acceleration. Nowhere did I read that this doesn't happen during normal flights.
Does this already have a name? If not can we call it bike-trolling?
North Face Big Shot II. It's very nice, and has perfect pockets, zipper strength, and all the other things you'd expect. It's also matte black and looks great. My wife got it for me as a gift 4 years ago and it's still in great condition. Will probably last another 4 years. Not sure what she paid for it but it's definitely been worth it I'm sure!

No, if there's a negative reaction to nationalism, there's more to it than that. Nationalism gave us two world wars, a number of civil wars and a few genocides in the 20th century. Nationalism is repugnant to many who are right wing and/or not upper middle class.

Are Belarus and Ukraine too distinct from Russia to you? I realize that historically, these were part of Ruthenia and then Lithuania (and Poland-Lithuania), but ethnographically, they are still part of the Rus cultural spectrum like Novgorod and Muscovy were and unlike, say, Kazakhstan or Georgia.

how the Brexiteers keep getting caught out speaking out both sides of their mouths time after time. They make a deal in Brussels and then fly home and speak to factory workers in Grimsby contradicting that deal

I'm not sure what events you're thinking of here, but no "Brexiteers" have been involved in negotiations for a long time. May went behind their backs and they all resigned, the cabinet has been dominated by Remainers like May ever since.

The reason it's such a farce is because the entire process is being run end to end by people who desperately want to ensure leaving can never happen without actually being too obvious about it (they've failed at that too).
Hand sewn leather bag custom made by some folks in a market in Morroco. It will outlast the sun.
I had one of those, and I ended up selling it because it was too big, and one of my personal failings is that I will fill bags. So with a big bag, it's always full and heavy.

Good in principles for avoiding self creation of abusable situations but I'm not sure about in practice.

The problem is complexity creep really and there is little serious effort in "code maintenance". The law itself demonstrates such problems. The Justinian Code was one example of a famously successful refactoring and ironically its creator despite his talent was also very corrupt.

One ancient solution which probably wouldn't scale well with needed complexity was "reading of the laws" - a periodic reading aloud of all laws on the books and if any were forgotten and went unobjected to they were automatically repealed as essentially irrelevant.

Just hard limiting complexity isn't a very good solution given increased complexity of the world and scale it often ammounts to "if I can't understand it ban it". It is populistic and anti-intellectual and a bit of a meme - that what can be easily understood is better and what can't is worse. Except reality doesn't work that way - the main reason why we bother with extra complexity and difficult to understand fields is because it works better.

Needless complexity may be a good concept to define abusability but defining it is tricky just like pinning down Hollywood accounting - where do you formally draw the line between overmarketing and intentionally torpedoing profit margins without proof of intent?

Many comments criticising her statistical errors have been removed, which makes me draw the conclusion that she mostly just wants to sell books and write a popular blog than be att part of serious academic discussion.
I saw one of these over at March Air Museum in southern California. They also have a cool display of the SR-71. Probably the coolest place in southern California to visit if you are interested in military aviation.

This is one of the claims that keeps undermining the Remain position.

The EU imposes high tariffs on food in order to protect French farming. This is well known and has been discussed for years, often in the context of "when will Europe stop making Africa poor by refusing to buy its food".

A big part of the argument for leaving the EU is that British farming is a lot more efficient, so doesn't need so much protection, so food prices could be lower after exit. Why would the government raise tariffs on food so high its own population starved? That would make no sense at all.
Yes it does, the problem seems to be that no one bothers to learn how the ORM works.

My experience is largely that US engineers want to help the US military. But they don't feel comfortable confronting the vocal anti-military minority.
I learnt to program for the Web in the late 90s. I used perl and later php. I stopped in the early 00s because I found supporting IE6 was soul destroying. Much more recently I got into it again and saw things like Rails and Django and was amazed. It was like stepping in a time machine and seeing what I always thought web development should have been. But the whole node, react etc. model is nothing like that. It's a regression as far as I can tell. It just makes everything more complicated for little benefit.

You’re right I guess. My uncle has no insurance and was just diagnosed with cancer. He’s getting chemo same as anyone else. He supposedly owes tons of money in medical debts but still has over 800 credit score. The US medical system is a really weird beast.
I have been using a Thule Crossover backpack for almost 8 years now, and it’s still as good as new! The laptop compartment is well padded and it’s got a hard-shell compartment for smaller electronics. It is incredibly well built. I have the older version which is not produced any more but in the meantime Thule have introduced an almost identical model (the main difference is the tablet compartment in addition to the laptop compartment), link here: https://www.thule.com/en-gb/au/backpacks/laptop-backpacks/th...

PS there is also an even newer model, the Crossover 2. But it’s different and I don’t know if it’s as good as the one I have.
Why do you care what happens with a photo of your face? Many thousands of them exist; you probably have a profile photo on gravatar, or linkedin, or twitter somewhere anyway, to say nothing of the many thousands upon thousands of pictures of your face captured in frames on surveillance camera footage.

You provide this information (a picture of your face) to every convenience store, casino, bank, airport, and office building you walk into, many hundreds of times per day, for permanent storage. What is the threat model here from someone with a webserver having a single picture of your face with no other associated identifying information about it?
True, any 15 year old framework will have bloat.

Nomatic Travel Pack. Really solid every day bag with plenty of storage options, with the added benefit of being expandable so I can rely on just it for a 2-3 day trip. I find it looks good but is neutral enough that you can bring it to the gym airport or work and not look silly.
Most countries don't have such a thing as class action, and even among the countries that have it, it's only commonly used in the one that invented the idea, and multi-national class action isn't really a thing. So I think you'd find that, far from "especially in the US," you should only expect a class action lawsuit like that for a flight that is either to or from (or both) a US airport.

With lots of of passengers on both flights being from lots of different countries, what they're getting instead is lots and lots and lots of individual lawsuits all being filed in different jurisdictions.

Which is, I'm guessing, likely to be more damaging to them in the long run.
