Having been a cub scout leader and now a parent you see that kids don't really have a great sensitivity to their own body temperature. They'll wear hot coats in Summer and tshirt in Winter unless you tell them not to, they're usually pretty far gone (sunstroke/hypothermic) before they will realise for themselves that there's something wrong.

I don't think they really get a good idea until they are about a year in to puberty, and even then they're more prone to mismanage their clothing (but I think that's just experience).

Also worth bearing in mind that younger kids have higher body temperature, and that they usually have lower surface area:volume ratios than bigger people.
Are physical ads like the ones you describe really so burdensome? As long as it's a poster, and not a bright, distracting video ad on a giant screen (I see these at bus stops), I don't mind them. Sometimes the design of the ads are interesting, even if the product they're selling is not.

As cosmic_quanta mentioned it's called the terminator, and it's generally the dividing line between the 'illuminated' and 'unilluminated' part of a celestial body.

You're right, the weird shape is due to the projection of "earth" in the X-Y plane, if you chose a different projection it would appear differently. The calculations make sure that the result is ±1 accurate all year long.

The truth is that even the definition of 'daylight' and 'night-time' is not straightforward. The most common definitions include the Civil, Nautical and Astronomical Twilights [1], depending on the sun's position, so it should actually be a gradient.

Sierra Nevada local here. There are very few events in my life that have been more emotional than the time I saw a mountain lion dead on the side of I80. I don't agree with the article's scare tactics, but I'm all for taking some action. I've always felt that tunneling (or even just covering) the freeways would be an obvious win for the Sierras. It would not only allow for wildlife to safely exist, but also would save the cost of snow removal and protect the freeways from the extreme thaw-freeze cycles and trucks with chains that force the freeway to be resurfaced every few years.
I make an effort to pay to remove ads wherever possible. Some apps I've paid for: Spotify, Weather Underground, DuoLinguo, a sudoku game on my phone, words with friends (back when I paid it was $5, now it's like $20 I think but would still be worth it IMO considering I play it every day).

I firmly believe the only way out of this advertising dystopia is for us to start paying for things again. This will create more opportunities for people to run sustainable small business and spread wealth out more instead of concentrating it in a few advertising conglomerates.
Anecdotally, it doesn't work that way. I've never thought about a visual experience and had it evoke the memory of a smell. I'm not sure I've ever had anything (other than a smell) evoke the memory of a smell. But every strong smell evokes a cascade of experiential and visual memories. Whenever I smell burning garbage, I think about various places I've traveled, particularly India (this isn't a dig at Indian sanitation per se; it's just that there are small piles of burning garbage all over the place in India, and the memory is strongly attached).

Static typing cannot ensure about their code what the coder can and should ensure about their code.

And often -- very often -- especially in strongly typed languages -- the static checker will reject code that is otherwise valid. First point.

Second point: Statically typed PLs (especially strongly typed ones) enforce the verifications across the code, with no (at least non-ridiculous) way for the coder to be judicious about things.

Third point: statically typed languages have weaker runtime features/abilities: polymorphism, homoiconicity, true REPL (ie true read->eval), etc.

All of these points add up to MORE cognitive complexity for the coder who is trying to develop non-trivial business applications -- not less cognitive complexity.

It's not being smart. It's learning. Once you learn algebra, say, many classes of problems without algebra would be too much cognitive complexity.

Type systems are focused on one thing: type coherence. But the real world demands runtime dynamics are what the customer is paying for; being as close to that need as possible IS lower cognitive impedance.

I tired doing a few calculations and by surface area alone, the pattern is about 55% unobstructed. That's better than the pattern from the original cheese grater, and given how terrible the trash can was, one hopes they did better this time.
Sierra Nevadas pretty much exclusively use mountain lion.
i don't disagree, except the cw stuff. the US breaks the conventions too (eg waterboarding) but they're still there for a reason. many people, mostly elderly or critically ill, would die in the event of a power grid being shut down. it is effectively indistinguishable from terrorism.
Life depends on dimensions up to some point too. The most typical example is that, in a 2D world, there cannot be organisms that consume food, because the digestive tube would split the organism in two.

Canada, the USA, UK, and others were not communist in the fifties and sixties, but did have many community group amenities that have mostly been lost in the 80s and beyond. Sharing stuff in groups is not communist or even require people be in communes. Communism generally had little to share anyway.

I'm not sure how that is a counterpoint other than attempted wordplay.
I started to book two one way plane tickets the other day (with both Eurowings and Ryanair). During both booking processes I saw a messages claiming "seats are going fast, book now" or something like that.

However in the next step of the booking process I was allowed to pick my seat. In both cases, the plane wasn't even 50% full.

It's stupid if you make it so transparent to your customers that you are lying to them.

PS: I ended up not booking the flight that day, the next day one of the flights was 15% cheaper. :-)

Ads are placed via an automatic auction upon pageview. GM and Ford both want to show me an ad when I google "what car to buy", and have automatic systems that decide how much they'd be willing to pay to show me that ad based on my likelihood of purchase (income, sex, location, etc). Why not have a system that follows me around and outbids them using funds from my bank account, to show me an ad which is just a transparent image? That way I don't have to see ads but content creators still get what they need?

It was thought that one way of finding information is to ask your network (Facebook and Twitter would be examples), and then they would pass on the message and a chain of trusted sources would get the information back to you.

I am being purposefully vague because I don't think people know what an effective version of that would look like, but its worth exploring.

If you have some data you might ask questions like:

1. Can this network reveal obscure information?

2. When -- if ever -- is it more effective than indexing by words?
All publicly trade companies have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders. That means different things to different companies and is not a hard and fast rule. Amazon did not prioritize short term profits for a long long time and Bezos famously told investors they were too shortsighted. Many large manufacturing companies adopt the Toyota principles here in the US as well. Principle 1 is up to interpretation about what brings the most long-term value to the company.

No company ever tries to go out of business, ergo they optimize to exist forever or get acquired. Whether the board & management understands how best to achieve that long-term sustainability is another matter and one that shareholders get to vote on.

> How do you maintain "Principle 1" while being a publicly traded company?

> The way the stock market is designed (and the fact that stockholders often get to appoint the board who gets to appoint the CEO) means they're going to put short term profits over long term viability.

Easy: Don't do that. Either 1.) Don't be a publicly traded company, or 2.) Don't let short-sighted shareholders dictate your management decisions.
I noticed this when I was [briefly] in Seoul. It was a combination of individual and presumably municipally employed workers cleaning up trash throughout the city and private employed workers cleaning around larger commercial buildings. Outside of banks, too, I remember people hosing down and washing the sidewalks. That's something I haven't seen in the US (not with such regularity, at the very least).

When a population is isolated or bottlenecked, there reaches an event horizon where inbreeding causes too manty defects for the population to survive even if one were to curb outside predation/killing.

Yeah, so I have published a few journal articles. Nary a day goes by without receiving multiple emails begging for me to speak at a conference (invariably in China), or submit another article to their particular journal (that I have never heard of before). So, you can understand why cold introduction emails tend to get redirected to /dev/null.
Sure, I just meant the fiduciary responsibility doesn't necessarily always mean "short term profits at all costs."

Why does it seem to always be that way, though? Most every company I see appears very shortsighted with no thought to the long game.

> So you'll end up with awkwardly large and cumbersome controls for mouse users and to small and finicky controls for touch users to interact with.

GTK+3 gives you touch-sized controls anyway, even on mouse/keyboard-only systems, and it works quite well - at most, it adds one or two steps for rare operations (click a hamburger menu, whatever) compared to a solely mouse-focused interface. They were striving to be "touch-ready" from the very beginning, and managed it quite well.

It is really only e.g. dragging/swiping that works very differently between touch and mouse interfaces. And of course mice come with extra buttons and scroll controls that make up for that.

This is an assumption that they didn't show up to work because of a depression bout. It could have been a myriad of reasons, with the possibility that none of them had anything to do with depression.

Yes. I do. Not that my opinion matters much. I was born in 91, I grew up as the internet grew up. Before I understood HTML or anything about programming, I used the web to watch videos on Lego.com or play really bad flash games on Newgrounds. My experience with the web has always been visual and interactive. Only time I used the WWW for purely document purposes was when doing homework.
I think, in this case, the pertinent question is the reverse. Could you make paper out of kouzo fiber using regular mass-produced paper making techniques? (It’d likely be smoother, and so wouldn’t have the “feel” of washi paper; but it’d probably still have the properties being discussed in the article—longer lifespan/durability than regular paper.)

As well, there might be other things kouzo fiber could be used for besides the uses it’s been put to (panels in shouji screen doors, and origami paper, mostly), that haven’t been tried because they don’t occur to the artisans who grow the kouzo. Maybe, due to its length, kouzo fiber has better wicking properties than regular paper fiber, and so washi paper would make a better substrate for pH test strips, for example. Or maybe the raw fibers would make a good base for a spray insulation product (presumably in combination with fire retardants.) Or maybe they’re durable enough that you could work them into a cloth, as is done with hemp.
I noticed they don't provide any images with human faces.

Versioning in an Event Sourced System
I think there is quite a bit of value in the "falsehoods programmers believe . . ." trope just in the sense that they can be a shock to you. A quick reminder that something topic you haven't had much programming experience with is way more complicated than you ever thought it was. They are a great jumping off point.

On the other hand, I've met people who read one of those and just stopped there and concocted some absolutely bizarro ways of "handling" the issue by coming up with patterns that attempt to simply avoid everything in the list.

I really do like this approach and think that it's great to have the jumping off point and some deep exploration all in one place. Most of us who are going to get the positive effect from "falsehoods . . ." memes probably already have, and we could do with a break from those and more articles like this one.
Nah. I see some of those points could very well be adapted to German companies.

And focussing on long-term growth and stability is probably one of the main aspects of the German "Mittelstand" (medium companies, often led by families over generations) which usually has a strong focus on providing a sustainable place to work and therefore not optimizes its business for shareholder value.
