This means the old one is deprecated and will be eventually removed.

The problem is, for some reason the presentation is tightly coupled/tied to the data model of the settings. Otherwise there would be no need to have 2 versions of it.

Which is OOP no-no 101.

Shrug. Corporate IT.
Continuations are a very old concept, and you'll be finding many programming languages have support before that. For example, Scheme had continuations (call/cc) since 1975, and I'm sure there must have been implementations before that.

OK, I follow. In context it didn't read that way to me, but maybe as a headline, sure. I actually thought that the section it came from was a fascinating example of heated but respectful discussion, illuminating of the relationship between the two, with the reader's sympathy leaning (just) in Margaret's favor but with remarkable restraint and compassion (and reason) on both sides, even when one or the other jabbed a little too hard—which is precisely when those qualities are tested, and are so precious. I'd hope that's why the title was chosen as it was.

[EDIT] For the record, I didn't flag or downvote any of your comments. My condolences for the lost Internet points.

It's barely better than iot stuff. And some "older" systems probably still need NT4 to run (I mean, if you're lucky)
The total includes direct subsidies, such as tax incentives that reward fossil fuel investment, exploration, and extraction in addition to indirect ones you describe.

In the US, like many countries, these are very substantial:

My knowledge of crypto might be completely backwards, but I think it's normal to use the asymmetric pair to then communicate a symmetric key between both parties. Also, I'm not sure what cryptico is doing under the hood, but if it's not communicating a new IV/offset for each key stroke message, I imagine you could compare two messages with the same keystroke and it would encrypt to exactly the same cypher.

I really hope this project grows, and that I can visit it again... or even chat to people I know in this format. I really enjoyed /random, it was fun making friends with complete strangers. The last time I had that feeling was in the golden age of ICQ, and when I used to visit actual BBSes in the 90s.
This is a beautiful book. I recommend the Bergin/O'Connor translation.
Too late :) The Win10 settings is basically a WebView.
It’s not that we’ve failed to rein in Facebook and Google. We’ve not even tried
Nobody expects their favorite Google service to be shut down but it always happens. It's inevitable. Recent examples: Google Hangsouts (plus Hangouts on Air) are being killed off despite quite a few people using it for podcasts. GCM was killed last month and destroyed my ability to receive notifications for a few FOSS apps I use until people switch.

Google+ was killed despite an active community after Google forgot to patch glaring security holes for years. goo.gl was killed despite thousands of customers. YT Video Annotations. More and more.

Waymo might be killed of once they inevitably drive over a living person by accident. Or because they miss another target. Or maybe because Alphabet's CEO didn't have a good coffee today.

My disappointed comment at your musings (which I would characterize as misleading or at the very least nonsensically general truisms) started this regrettable thread. While I avoided commenting in it, this last comment of yours just continues the misleading pretentiousness: unlike what you assumed, some of the people that argue with you actually work in Physics, and we are annoyed because you conflate phenomena and then project and argue about meaningless semantics. As I said, I do share your excitement at the wonders of the universe, but I am trying and failing to see intellectual honesty or awareness in most of your follow-up comments.
You’re right, the parts along Geary and Clement are fine. Looking more carefully at the map, the Richmond is mostly RH-2 (allows duplexes) and RM-1 (1 unit per 800 sf). It’s the Sunset (pretty much everything south of Golden Gate Park) and all of the that is really absurdly low density (RH-1).

The Richmond feels significantly more suburban than the Mission (where I live) though.

I don’t think “skyscraper urban” is all that necessary (in SF, my impression is that the skyscraper boom is mostly a result of a few areas with very lax zoning combined with massive demand because everywhere else the zoning is absurdly limiting), but the USA could use a whole lot more low-rise and mid-rise apartment buildings.
I tried to install it but I couldn't install WxPython3 via SourceForge so I couldn't get the deps to work. Plus the maintainer of that app doesn't care much for supporting OS X and Linux (basically tells people to just go use Windows) so I wanted to use Electron where I can package an app for all platforms.
> Seduced by eventual consistency

Indeed. I work at a very, very large firm suffering from problems caused by this. The system crawls and is quite expensive to run. But it's so entrenched there are no plans to replace it, only more layers put on top to mitigate it.

RDBM people took a bit more time before implementing temporal features (SQL 2011).
Different people are different. Some people will work hard based on internal motivation, others will slack. Being around a bunch of slackers is demotivating, and it tends to cause high performers to quit or stop working as hard. You then have an organization of slackers.
Agreed! But sometimes going to the CLI everytime is annoying which is in part why I wanted to build a GUI for it :)
That's okay. But why isn't there a big strongly typed settings data model with automatic presentation? If it's just reg settings all the way down and triggers on them?

On the genre of Stoicism, Marcus Aurelius has intrigued me for some time. I have yet to read any of Seneca's work though but imagine that it is any bit as much quality(!).

I would like to add a candidate for the recommendation on Stoic philosophy - "Meditations by Marcus Aurelius".

I wonder if it's because there is such a sharp line between what a Java programmer can do in Java, and what the JVM does to make that possible. Much of what the JVM does is impossible to even describe in normal Java. That line doesn't exist in, say, C++, where the compiler is just another C++ program.

With the caveat that there are JVMs written in Java, so that line can be crossed:

The same mechanism could apply at the Spring Boot boundary. Using Spring Boot (for simple applications) is easy enough. Implementing it takes code that is beyond bizarre.
Right, but how do you index a page you weren't supposed to crawl in the first place?
I have tried Scrum. I have also tried various pick-and-chose hybrid approaches which were generally less successful. For example having scrum-like sprints and daily stand-up, but still having a fixed feature set and fixed deadline. This doesn't really work. (You can have deadlines in Scrum, and you can have fixed feature set, but you cant have both!) This happens if management does not really buy into the process. The place where scrum worked was because management was willing and able to try something new and willing to learn.

For what it is worth, I have also seen classic waterfall be successful. But I have also seen several big-scale disasters with waterfall, and in my experience waterfall carry much larger risk and is much harder to salvage when it goes off track.
Yes, my current role was found from that thread.
It might be misleading, but not totally. You're totally right that nobody had anything to say, Putin made the decision for them. But the share of population isn't insignificant. Would you see it differentley if 99% of Crimeans were Russians? 100%? If so, where is the borderline? If not, how would it be different from a colony (that I hope all agree is an embarassing relic of the past)?
As someone who had pseudo-scientific anti-bias techniques applied on myself as an infant, I tend to agree. Now that may actually be real bias...

I believe many biases listed here can substantiate themselves.
Sorry, I mean for matching, and I did try to imply it was a limitation of the standard and not the library. Though to avoid confusion, I do personally think keeping the user agent minimal is wise, since users might have difficulty guessing what value to use if it differs sufficiently from the real user agent that's sent.
The source. Yes, really.

Wow, there are now 194 listed Cognitive Biases. The number keeps growing.

It is an awful sign for a scientific community when they are working on a theory that includes 196 different exceptions and adjustments that have to be made in order to make a model fit the data. It means that your underlying model probably isn't right.

This reminds me of when Astronomers thought the universe revolves around the Earth, rather than the Sun. The earth-centered theory made sense until we got better data, and then sometimes planets appeared to go backwards. Sometimes they appeared to swirl around a line. Sometimes there were swirls within the swirls, and sometimes swirls within those: https://invisible.college/attention/dissertation/retrogrades...

Astronomers had to account for this data with a complex set of retrograde motions and epicycles layered upon epicycles. These complexities only increased as telescopes and charting techniques improved, uncovering more distortions from in the idealized orbital lens. Take, for instance, the numerous parameterized gears required for an early Galilean planetary model: https://invisible.college/attention/dissertation/galileo2.jp...

Only when Copernicus and Kepler put the sun in the center of the universe could the models be simplified. Suddenly, each planet's orbit fit a perfect elipse -- no epicycles, no retrograde motions.

We can do the same thing for Economic theory, by moving the center of the utility function from the future to the present. Right now, Economics models humans as optimizing future outcomes. The modeled humans are focused on the future: they allocate infinite attention to computing the optimal action for the future. But real humans have scarce attention for computing the future. When they run out of attention, these 194 heuristics and biases display themselves in full effect.

We solve this dilemma when we evaluate the utility function in the present, rather than the future. Instead of assuming humans have infinite attention, the utility function itself predicts how humans allocate their scarce attention. The new utility function evaluates the utility of attention itself.

And it turns out that we can empirically measure this value of this utility function, by running controlled experiments online with 1,000s of participants, and paying them different amounts of money to attend to different tasks. This lets us measure how much utility people ascribe to paying attention to television shows, sexy pictures, video games, advertisements, iPhone screens, or reddit posts. We can measure it in pennies per second.

This new model is a measurable Attention Economics: https://invisible.college/attention/dissertation.html
HAProxy doesn't let you hot reload the config file. It lets you load it in a new process and takeover the listen sockets. That new process doesn't get the state from the old process. That probably isn't a big deal for many uses, but for others, it's a bigger problem.

If you're balancing traffic by session count, the new process doesn't know about the sessions in the old process (not sure if you can workaround this, it's not a problem I have, just something I'm aware of)

If you use source port ranges, the new process doesn't know what the old process is still using, so you get extra logs about ports in use, and extra CPU spent on syscalls to find free ports. For me, on a busy system, this makes it even busier for quite a few minutes before it slows down to normal again. I haven't looked at this API yet though to know if it will help for me.
I think the decision to move to the burbs is almost entirely out of the question as an LGBT. Urban centers are the only places with thriving LGBT communities, and I think I would feel very alone if I moved away from one.
I am reading it now - and it is fantastic. And because I cannot read in Russian but am learning it I see how much I am missing: eg: the word for Turnstyle in Russian is the same in meaning as tourniquet - which figures prominently in the beginning of the book.

Distance Seattle Portland is about 280 km. That's similar to the Distance of Munich to Würzburg in Germany. The Deutsche Bahn takes 75 Euros, about 85 USD from you in economy class.

Patrick Collison, co-founder of Stripe, keeps a cool reading list with tons of books, color coded by the impact they had on him. He's clearly a voracious reader on a wide range of topics.

If you're interested in games / startup stories, I have to recommend Masters of Doom, about the early days of id. It's thrilling and exciting to read: https://www.amazon.com/Masters-Doom-Created-Transformed-Cult... - It's also in the news that USA has ordered a pilot for a TV adaptation. Here's hoping it's good!
That monitor is 4K versus Apple's 6K.

Pretty big difference.
It's because the Java ecosystem relies heavily on things automatically being done for you behind the scenes, like run-time reflection and classpath scanning.
I bet those 2 are also failures, but probably in other satellite subsystems. For example, if the solar panel only partially unfolded, there would be enough power to do a controlled descent, but not enough for useful service work.

Hi, I'm a self-taught programmer who's worked with early stage startups and done a lot of freelancing over the past few years.

Although most of my experience is in Full-stack and Cross-Platform Mobile Development, I'd also be very interested in slightly more experimental fields such as Artificial Intelligence and Brain-Computer Interfaces.

In general, I'm open to all kinds of opportunities as long as they're developing my experience in some area or another!
I have just general interest in robotics. Would you mind sharing what are you working on?
Retrospectively, I'm very impressed by the mechanical quality. I remember the compartment latch failing on some (non-Sony devices), but never the actual core drive, an this is with thousands of hours of usage.

Any of these books are great starts. If the leadership big bites you there's way more I can suggest. Most of these are a mix of classics and new stuff. I've read them all and they want have their own style and provide their own insight. The trick is to find out what parts work with how you do and incorporate them into your flow. The learning process never ends.
I saved to pocket then read in mobile friendly way.
It's helpful when you cannot modify the style as on PC.
I always think that learning probability can not only help you to gain more intuition when dealing with scientific relative subjects but also empower you to think the daily life things in a different way. I recommend Introduction of probability [1] since it's easy to study and provides great free video lectures [2].

Before doing that I had two situations where the major release broke something. Never looked back.

If you like sci-fi, I would recommend Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. It really had some weird twists ! :))

There are more reasons than backups to use etckeeper; I use it in case a package upgrade mangles my config files (happened once).

Imagine the use case in reality. You accidentally rm -rf your /etc folder but you still have the git tree. /etc itself is gone, entirely. Most of your tools will seize working almost immediately, the only chances you have are having a terminal already open to a root shell. Your Virtual TTYs on other screens won't work (login uses /etc/passwd, which is gone) as well as any sudo command.

Recovery from the life system is likely impossible unless you have a root shell open and git doesn't refuse to work (it might since it checks for /etc/gitconfig, if you made any critical settings here, git stops working). Live recovery also has other issue; some apps might still be writing to or reading from /etc. They might have an open handle. Recovery will result in some processes of the same binary running with different configurations. That will be a joy to discover once it inevitably starts to corrupt the system stability.

So your only way of meaningful recovery is a live system on a USB stick. Do you have one ready to use right now? Like, not prepared in a shelf somewhere but right now is there a live linux system within your reach? If not, it's rather likely it will take a while to find it.

Once you've done that, you can bootup your computer, unlock any encrypted disks you use and install git into the live system. Then you hopefully remember how to recover a git repo using it's tree only, if not, hopefully the live disk's network works.

If recovery succeeds over git, you can reboot and pray the last checkpoint in git isn't too old. Have you changed the LUKS keys in the meantime and did you forget to checkin crypttab? Or did you change your Xorg Conf because X stopped working?

The short answer is; it might be easier and just as complex to simply reinstall the system while backing up your home folder.
Dialogue-focused “night mode” downmix preset for 5.1 DTS to 2.0 stereo (2013)
Quite misleading IMO.

Maybe you could be a bit more charitable in your interpretation? It's obviously not the meaning you chose first, so it's more likely a mistake than anything malicious.
