I don't think they balance out. I think they're orthogonal. Note that pop culture negativity is mostly about how society sucks; per ineedasername's comment, the protagonist finds love or some other individual positivity. Social media "toxic positivity" is also about individuals having it good, not about the society doing good.

Both phenomena taken together create this negative outlook, "the world sucks and I personally suck". But this negativity is also what drives engagement, so there's no incentive to stop it - not in works of fiction, and not in social media.

Yes. This. Facebook just became one of the biggest illegal hackers ever. I really hope the feds bring charges.
I think there are two parts of it. Physics degree is good -- obtaining it correlates with the head being screwed on straight and is often appreciated by employers.

On the other axis, I am puzzled on why they consider a Masters as a sweet spot. If a graduate degree is not required, it does not get you much, career-wise; and wherever a graduate degree is appreciated a PhD gets you further. Just my 2c.
AI estimates depression severity from sight and sound
Isn't that the same thing as what OP said? Why shouldn't "living in SV" be considered a "luxury?"

You know where you don't need millions to do all of that? Literally most of the country.

If someone was complaining to me about being unable to live in, say, Beverly Hills, I'd say the same thing: there's nothing stopping you from moving to any other state and living quite comfortably - in fact, probably having a much _better_ standard of living.
I doubt that anyone who can buy/wants a Ferrari is choosing between it and a sports sedan (M series, AMG series, RS series etc.). It is between Mclaren/Lamborghini/Ferrari and which one is the best depends on personal preference really (looks, are you going to track etc.).
Sure, but they are designed for big heavy jets and the reason they are at capacity is because building long runways with noisy approaches is very controversial in densely populated areas.

There are many smaller airports in and around London that you can go to with a smaller plane and quite a few that are more convenient to get to from inside the city. If noise and pollution stop being concerns, many of those would be able to absorb the traffic and building more would be a lot less controversial.
It always feels like religious preaching to me - a sort of belief you are supposed to have and that seems to be proselytised mostly by American people, songs, wall art etc.
Perhaps I'm mistaken because I thought blingfire was mostly a tokenizer. But now I realize it might also be a language model.

But if it doesn't, you'll be able to trace the failure back to the flaw in the logic (or mistake in the math), which will give you a path forward to correct the failure. If you just try things and they don't work, it can be much less obvious where to go from there.
That sound pretty nice. For the life of me I can’t figure out how to override certain key settings in KDE like “windows” key pulling up the kde menu. Gnome I think might allow that but then the other 99 other shortcuts seem hard coded. Much less have those changes persist for years. How does xfce commands interact with bindings in gtk/qt based apps? Can you set commands actions that work in say Firefox?

On a side note, Windows key in Linux should map to meta and behave like command key in OS X so I can use GUI commands without screwing up emacs/vim/etc. Super/Meta are all over historical Unix programs but modern x11/guis/distros seem to refuse to allow you to actually bind keys to them.

P.S. OS X has similar feature to xfce to setup key commands and have them just keep working across os updates for years. It’s easy to setup emacs like key binding for alt-f, ctrl-e, etc and have almost every text widget just inherit those commands. You just need to use the terminal/finder to set them.
Twitter: Dishonest Marketing
Political content seems to be frequently demonetised. Might be that advertisers want to categorically stay away from it.

Also it might simply be the channel title. "Uncensored" on youtube yields very few results in general, probably because it's heavily associated with pornographic or violent content.
I believe that I followed the guidelines:

- The topic of discussion was feminism, its application to institutions, and the consequences of that. I didn't introduce any topic.

- This post is directly related, and discusses how the impacts observed in the article extend from the philosophical basis of the movement and its long-term choices about which political battles to engage in.

- The post itself, and subsequent ones, were upvoted.

- The only fact that was contested was the status of men as a minority at university, which I provided a citation for.

- My post was direct, and used plain language for its points, but was not uncivil.

As far as I can tell, you're utilizing the code of conduct to empower a minority trying to censor my speech for political reasons to shut down discussion.

You are of course free to engage in politically motivated censorship as a private website, but I'd suggest you enumerate what you believe I did wrong instead of hiding behind vague allegations.

Vague allegations of violating decorum, sans factual refutation or even a challenge on the substance of my post, are the tools of a tyrant.
The problem with gcm is that you absolutely cannot ever reuse a nonce, hence gcm-siv using a hash of the message - assuming a cryptographically strong hash the hash collision rate should theoretically have lower odds than a pure ring (sqrt(hashsize) vs likelihood of non-random different data colliding in practice)

Of course all of this is on the assumption that any hashes and rngs you use are secure :)

In practice: many sites using gcm were using rng based nonces that end up colliding
Save up for a replacement. My 6P just started the boot loop of death. I was using it for navigation, closed the screen and put it down for an hour, picked it back up and it was boot looping. I had that 6P for 2.5 years and even replaced the battery. I just spent a lot of money on a vacation so I wasn't really ready to drop a bunch of money on another flagship-type device. I ended up buying a Moto G7 Power. It's almost the same specs as the 6P which is fine for me, I don't do much intensive stuff on there anyway, but it does have a massive 5000mAh battery which I think I'm going to love above all else.

As for battery replacement, I had a university electronics lab at my disposal. I used a heatgun to heat the top and bottom panels on the back. It wasn't the easiest but the guides online are thorough. One thing I would recommend is letting the phone cool in a bag with some silica gel packets before sticking the back glass panel on. I had some moisture develop inside the camera lens which led to some water spots. It didn't ruin the camera but picture quality degraded a little bit.

Funny that you would draw a comparison to a Merkle tree. At one client they had such coupling between systems CI/CD was nearly impossible without either an explosion of test environments or grinding everything to a near halt.

We began working with the idea of consensus based CI/CD. If you pushed a change, you published that to the network. It gave other systems the opportunity to run their full suite of tests against the deployment of your code. Some number of confirmations from dependent systems was required to consider your code "stable". This progressed nearly sequentially assembling something like a block chain.

Ultimately the client was unable to pull this off for the same reason they were unable to decouple the systems: lack of software engineering capability.

This may sound stupid or trite, but have you considered moving into a management position?

Social media and Youtube may be stealing your attention because you simply enjoy them more. If coding was more enjoyable, you'd be doing more coding at the expense of those distractions.

But maybe you just don't enjoy coding your current project. A lot of projects are not intellectually or morally stimulating, and it's hard to stay excited about them, particularly if your work culture is the least bit toxic.

Being a manager means dealing with people, and a lot of experienced coders actually get more out of that than out of JIRA-code-Git-repeat.
At a high level, it depends on how much processing power this machine has, how many development, mathematical and scientific resources you are allocating to this machine. With infinite money, one could certainly put together a team to make a machine with common sense.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but aren't tablets a niche and have been for a while?

Not sure how accurate this graph is:

http://gs.statcounter.com/platform-market-share/desktop-mobi...

but it seems like tablet use is dwarfed by both desktop and mobile (not sure where laptops fit into the scheme of things) by a factor of 10.

But now it's 2019 and the line between tablets and laptops is blurred. However, I still don't want or need one. It's too big to fit in any pocket and too small to use as your main productivity screen. And only marginally better for watching movies than a flagship phone (which in itself is not a high bar, compared to watching a movie on a big screen TV)
I dunno, if you look at the legacy of DigiNotar it seems like you're dealing with a lot of potential headaches for a couple thousand bucks that your customers hate paying you anyway.

(DigiNotar, of course, famously gave out a fraudulent * .google.com cert and is now defunct.)

As a CA you're assuming a whole lot of liability for not that much money (not that much at the scale of even a small business, anyway), and that just doesn't seem like it'd scale to a wildly profitable venture, especially considering the kinds of people who are actually well equipped to run a CA can probably make a lot more money doing basically anything else in web security. When you add up the contingency risks, the opportunity costs, and whatever actual day-to-day business expenses, it does seem like you'd be looking for other ways to make more comfortable profits.

That doesn't mean CAs should charge more or anything, just that I could accept that SSL certs for standard websites isn't what anyone with a good vision for their business is really trying to hold onto.
I don't have expertise at all in that area, but I've always suspected something very similar to annealing is going on. Apparently through targeted brain scans, scientists can predict your responses a few moments before you even realize you have an answer because of the way the brain activity surfaces and synchronizes beforehand.

I used to think of it as a sort of democratic mental process that is hidden from the conscious parts of your brain. But of course, I could be completely wrong, too.
Yeah, that's basically what life is.
I dunno what Ubuntu did, but Filesystems tab in gnome task monitor is now completely useless. It's filled with virtual file systems from packages that I will never ever care about accessing in this way, and they can't be hidden.

Why? Whyyy why why.
I've tried maps.me, but the one thing I was never able to figure out is my primary use case: how do I search for an address?

I can navigate to nearby bars or shops that it knows about, but if I want to navigate home, what do I do? Searching for an address just returns "no results found" instantly.
I'm using their search with autocomplete as a convenience feature in our app. My bill will go from $0 to $3,000 per month.

I'd be happy to pay them a reasonable price, but this costs more than our whole infrastructure, so we are moving to a vendor who offers a more realistic pricing for us.
I think most readers will correctly interpret your comment. But it should be "80th percentile", "98th percentile". 98th percentile means 98% of observations are below that level.
New York’s Aggressive Climate Law Takes Aim at Skyscrapers
This is essentially the problem go has had, precisely because you could only ever pull the latest from master.

Introduce a breaking change into a common library and now you have to update every other dependency to support it.

Not so bad in a monorepo. But when your codebases are distributed?
Use tools such as SelfControl.app, ColdTurkey.app, and Freedom to block websites.

Some people will claim that is a crutch. Thats a great analogy because crutches help you get things done while you heal.
While there were a few midwestern socialists that joined on the newly formed (past tense, at this point) Republican Party, it was very much committed to limited governmental intervention. The idea that there are socialist ideas at the bedrock of the Republican Party is misleading. Those are a much later development.

Read Tolstoy. He was chiefly inspired by the Quakers' nonviolence. In reality, the Quakers themselves were a heavily Republican group (insofar as they identified with government force at all).

While there are left-wing inspired (and somewhat developmental) incidents throughout US history, I wouldn't characterize the situation as either "strong" or "erased." On the contrary, the U.S. has accepted many people fleeing from failed or failing socialist states, which may affect the local popular understanding of true left-wing ideology.
thanks for the link - looking forward to watching.

Currently, I'm not convinced that you need to track and apply commits across dependencies and dependent systems atomically/transactionally to have a sane build environment even at scale, but you definitely get that part free with monorepo.

Any links to docs or presentations that address that specific issue would be very welcome :-)
I've had an impression that the slow computer I've used worked better by default playing videos in Kubuntu than either Lubuntu or Xubuntu. If some internet sites are to be believed, something something compositors video players hardware acceleration whatever:

https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=212094

And all that problems still appear strange to me, as the computer is not too old, it just has slower processor, whereas I've had better experience playing videos on the notebook bought in 2000, in Windows XP (using open source mplayer!)

And using some of the "lighter" editions apparently doesn't mean "plays better" just... something (as some don't even have an official goal anymore to be actually better on older hardware).

Maybe someone here can explain what is the best way to play videos on slower (from a perspective of the developers who probably have 500 W graphic cards, because "who doesn't"?) machines. I have, more or less, accepted that I still can't expect that from Linuxes:

OK, good point. I was kind of thinking of "the 1%". Debating whether to edit and fix, but leaning towards leaving it.
In the US, a lot of Master's degrees in physics and mathematics are really watered down. I was an engineering student, and had an MS in engineering, and was pursuing a PhD in it as well. I dropped out of the PhD and got another MS in physics as a "consolation degree" - I basically had all the coursework done as part of my PhD, so the credits just transferred over and I had a free MS in physics. I almost got another MS in mathematics just for the heck of it (took courses for fun).

Why do I say they are watered down degree? Because both the math and physics Master's requirements allow you to use courses that are required for their Bachelor's degree! So the main undergrad analysis class could be used for a Master's in mathematics (unless you had a math undergrad degree).

They structured it this way to try to get people from outside the discipline (like me) into the MS program. I could get an "easier" MS in physics than a physics student could (they could not double count their credits for the MS degree).

It may be another reason the MS degree in these disciplines is looked down upon.
Americans' energy use surges despite climate change concern
This conclusion is the one most prosecutors reach and still decide to pursuit a lawsuit since they could probably get a settlement or a plea bargain, In this case you can't since the law / constitution is very murky when it comes to prosecuting the President and the extent that executive privilege protects them.

Outside of my personal opinion, it is very clear that this is will continue to be fought on purely political grounds. Damned be the laws and proper legislative procedures. Even the presentation of the document this morning was hyper politicized by both parties while the document does a noble attempt at neutrality.
As long as this new synthetic fur is cheaper than the real thing... If I'm to believe a random outrage post I've seen on Facebook, apparently real fur is cheaper at scale than synthetic, so some companies ended up selling clothes from real fur but advertised them as synthetic, to cash in on the extra money you can get from people caring about animal suffering.
I knew a ton of Physics PhDs who went on to be very successful software engineers. They were always sad they couldn't do physics because of either lack of salary or lack of good job options, but they were often very good quantitative engineers.

My PhD opened a lot of doors but it also taught me that I didn't want to be a scientist.
There is also HS1-SIV which uses Chacha20.
Of course it is not everyone, but it is a reoccurring theme. Especially in threads that discuss working at a start up which is a fair number of the threads around here. Likely it is just a very vocal minority, but still it is annoying.
There are lots of definitions of comfortable. It seems like this article uses "Similar financial resources to your neighbors'", so the number sound right to me.

I went to grad school with someone who grew up as a subsistence farmer in Nepal. He has a much different idea of comfort/luxury than I do, but still likes to buy big TVs, etc. because thats what you do here.

My definition of comfortable is being able to afford 6 acres within a 12 minute commute from work. That really limits the jobs/locations that would be comfortable for me.
thanks so much for saying this. It has always baffled me. On a desktop I want to run up-to-date applications with a stable system, I don't want a feature freeze. Ideally the OS is a platform where software runs on, not in, with a standardised, backwards-compatible surface.

I'm only an occasional linux user as a developer, I never dove into the history or the design. Is there a particular reason why linux distributions couple the system so heavily with the application layer?
Is this supposed to be satire. Quote "Many people assume they will be able to keep working indefinitely until they are 90 or 100 years old but in real life that rarely happens,"
I don't think there is a human being in the bay area who wants to or expects that they will have to work into there 90s.

Additionally what lifestyle are they aiming for. The Bay area is made up of millions of people. Maybe 5% of that are millionaires. The rest of us are living here on sub 200K a year family incomes and making it work and its mostly comfortable. I think this article is basically saying if you want to live the upper middle class lifestyle you now need to be a millionaire. Even in the rest of America only a small percentage of people live the upper middle class lifestyle. Who is buying a new car every year, going on multiple vacations and savings extra money for inheritance. I'm sorry but the average person saves through home equity, goes on one vacation if they are fortunate to do so a year, and tries to maintain a car for several years if possible.

Any Android phone with semi-recent Android version.

Here's the disclaimer from my phone: "Location may use sources like GPS, Wi-Fi, mobile networks, and sensors to help estimate your device's location. Google may collection location data periodically and use this data in an anonymous way to improve location accuracy and location-based services."

They have had similar-worded ones for a while now.

IIRC basically if the phone has GPS enabled it'll upload the list of visible APs from that location, so they can use that as an estimate for when a phone without GPS is nearby.
Are you sure? Because the article doesn't mention 'degree' or 'graduate' at all. This article is only about the culture of violence in football and its repercussions later in life. There are tons of other articles and talks about this, but here, there's nothing.

I hate the NCAA. People who think players don't deserve to get paid for what they bring to the table in football or basketball because they're getting free education are incredibly wrong. The culture of the majority of the programs and also the desire of the players themselves don't put education first. But this article isn't about that issue, it's about injuries in football alone.

All of this has been well-known for years, and Google doesn't hide it (quite the opposite, this is a feature). Location tracking is done through three primary methods: GPS, triangulation from nearby WiFI APs, and triangulation based on what cell towers the device can see.

I recommend spending a little time searching the web and Google's Android developer pages for more, but here's a Quartz article that gives a decent overview: https://qz.com/1131515/google-collects-android-users-locatio...

If you're interested in being able to find your location under the most possible circumstances, you can't rely just on GPS because there are so many situations where GPS won't work.
You're not alone! I even bought an Apple Watch 4 once they were available here in Canada in order for to monitor my exercise, the high performance, and inter-connectivity with my other devices while maintaining privacy of my health data. Must be doing it wrong.
Not the OP but if someone bought 10 years ago, they would have bought at 50-65% less than the current prices. I have neighbors with low end jobs who bought in the 80s-90s in the $100k range.
Sweat happens when your body needs to remove excess heat, so using it to heat your body back (even if thermodynamics allowed for it) would be... kind of counterproductive. But being able to feed it with something overnight and have it slowly radiate out the heat would be a nice thing for winter months. Beats electric heating.
