Yeah I could see some of the sleepier east coast towns picking up. I know places like Portland Maine are pretty appealing to myself and other millennials but not sure if I could do the cold thing. Seems like all the lesser known metropolitan areas are picking up a lot of steam right now. Boise Idaho for example has also appealed to me.

LXC is daemonless, there is no process hanging around after the container start, so it starts the container and uses any privileges required to setup things like networking, mounts etc and then drops privileges.

LXC had unprivileged container support since 2013 so that part is fairly mature now. 'Unprivileged' in this case means the container process itself is running as a normal user.
If you pay licences per machine/cpu socket/cpu core, those $5k might be your cheapest option.
That's probably true, steel rebar has the issue of rusting and cracking the concrete.

But the advantage rebar gives you is a gradual failure mode, where the steel holds the block together while the concrete cracks.

Without rebar, the failure of concrete is usually catastrophic (instant).

Ego depletion is questionable - http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/cover_story...

I think this meta-myth (that some people just can't make good decisions) is becoming a hysterical epidemic - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_psychogenic_illness

I think there's a mass nocebo (evil placebo) effect. "I can't, because of ego depletion / decision fatigue / not enough spoons". This then becomes a kind of self fulfilling prophecy - people do give up more easily when they have an excuse, and don't have to admit they're just making a bad choice because they're (relatively) greedy and short-sighted.
And the premise may be wrong altogether

Measuring real growth properly is useful for addressing a host of questions. For example, existing studies use measured inflation to calculate the real income of children relative to their parents. Chetty et al. (2017) find that 50% of children born in 1984 achieved higher incomes than their parents at age 30. Adjusting for missing growth would raise the real income of children about 17% relative to their parents, increasing the fraction of those who do better than their parents by a meaningful amount. Thus, to the extent that inflation is overstated due to imputed values, a larger fraction of children appear to be better off economically than their parents. This improvement in economic welfare can shine a bit more positive light on current conditions, despite the gloom of slower productivity growth.
Dear all, I am a part of a research group at the University Of Auckland. Our bigger vision is to create a set of tools for safety critical application of DNNs. This includes a formal approach for composition of multiple NNs, static timing analysis, and correct by construction approaches for SW/HW co-design.

Our first project is now live at https://www.aitransformer.com/ which is basically an enhanced Keras2C utility. Unlike the alternatives, the generated code doesn't depend on anything like TensorFlow C Library. This makes the code amenable to static timing analysis and perhaps more light-weight. If you use C code for AI application, or use AI in embedded systems and edge compute, we would love to hear from you. Leave comments. Thanks!

You aren’t privy to what goes on in their heads, so you can’t really say either way.
My comment was actually made with many of these issues in mind -- I was trying to avoid needless nitpicking by being a bit vague. Perhaps that was a mistake.

The point wasn't that these things couldn't be solved -- they could, at least in theory[0] -- but that the current practical limitations of Java[1] are such that the interaction of higher-order functions and checked exceptions make checked exceptions a really bad idea.

[0] At least I think so... given anonymous or adhoc sum types, etc.

[1] Interestingly, this is not a JVM-wide issue. It's just the Java compiler that imposes these restrictions, for example: You cannot "catch" a checked exception which hasn't been declared at least one method in the "try" scope. This makes sense at first glance ("cannot happen"), but means that re-wrapping by higher-order functions must entail extremely error-prone inspection of any exception by calling code, etc. etc. It's a huge mess.
There are a few columns that do not missrepresent the facts by some ethical journalists but due existing in the same websites and news outlets where columns that only exist to drive clicks is hard for the readers to tell them apart.

CRIU should allow you to migrate a running process from one system to another, particularly in combination with a container (Docker or LXC/D).
Learned LGP-30 assembly language for my high-school's programming class back in 1973, but we didn't actually have one, or even access to one. The teacher had learned on a (real) LGP-30, and thought that we students ought to learn how CPUs really worked before graduating to a higher-level language (NEAT/3 for the NCR Century 100 that the school district did have). So, homeworks were handed in on paper, and the instructor would run them in his head.

One aspect of programming the LGP-30 is that, by convention, to call function FOO, the caller would store the return address at $FOO and then jump to $FOO+1, where the actual code for FOO started. Then, to return, FOO would do jump to the address in $FOO. So, no recursion was possible by default. (There was a single instruction that did "Store the already-incremented PC at a given location, and jump to just after that location", so it was all very efficient.)
"timing wise one should be due"

Recessions do not have a schedule. Moreover, the much bemoaned "slow recovery" during the Obama administration would totally change any hypothetical boom-bust cycle with its unprecedented policy moves.
I have found this to be distinctly not true. I don't know of many places were living a more modest life is a good choice. It seems like most people who says this have already benefited from cheaper education, real estate, their partner or career. In many countries average savings doesn't keep up with the increase in property values, especially not in attractive job markets. If you don't have wealth, or go into debt, you are falling behind. I really don't see it, maybe you have some example?
I have the same question. My first guess would be it was due to the reality of using the limited space and design process. Note the mention in the article about asynchronous logic and hand-wired gates. It probably seemed a better trade-off to keep the circuit as simple as possible if it would work fine and out of the box for a majority of the cases.

> Relates to the usual debate of whether the language ought to remain in the form that was crystallized at a given moment, or accept the transformation contemporary users are making.

That is a false dichotomy in my opinion. If you see language as a tool then the most relevant characteristic is not stability of fluidity, but usefulness. Language changes because we are (subtly) using is differently, some of these changes are sometimes actually many different competing mutations or are just born out of "I need a new word for this".
Funny coincidence, I recently debloated my W10 with a script as well. I saw the one in the OP during my search, but ultimately didn't go with it as it didn't look legit to me compared to another one that I found mentioned in a article guide.

Used this one:

Yes, this is exactly what was explained to us. I only hope it doesn't become used for more than that. I already feel self conscious about if I'm logging too little time.

I honestly must be missing something about both this article and this discussion thread.

> The Survey of Household Economics and Decision Making asks people how they would pay for an unforeseen $400 expense. If a respondent said they simply wouldn’t be able to or would have to borrow money, sell something or neglect other bills to do so, they were included in the share of people for whom coming up with the money would be a challenge, which added up to that alarming 40%. Yet the Survey of Consumer Finances, which asks respondents for their bank account balance, found the share of households who have less than $400 in their checking or savings accounts was closer to 20%.

> For some reason, many people who had $400 on hand still said they’d struggle to come up with the money. “We were scratching our heads,” Chen said.

What if that $400 (or even $1400) were for rent, or utility bills? Wouldn't it be obvious that you have to borrow money, sell something, or not pay a bill in order to use $400 of it? What's the confusing part? Also, I guess you could call your utility bills (but not your rent) debt, but that wouldn't be a normal usage.

This article, and the vast response to it (which I can't connect to the fairly empty content) is confusing to me. Are they saying something I'm not seeing?

edit: I mean, more than once in my life, I've had more than the money I've needed to cope with an unexpected event in the bank, and I sold something in order to pay for it, because no money fairy was coming before the end of the month to keep me off the street.

The common pattern among all of these is that they are hyperbolic.

You can see the same with "awesome", "terrible", and "horrible".

I think people just really like intensifiers, and then they overuse them until they no longer have their original intensity, so they move onto the next word.

Yes. These types of things can require mistakes to be made, and then self education once identified to prevent the same mistake in the future. Which is a lot to ask of someone running a family and working two jobs...
Then the whole "decision fatigue" thing is a theory without any real support.
You know John Oliver didn't just arbitrarily bully Amazon, right? There are thousands of stories, articles, reports, posts, and more about this topic.

So I'm a little alarmed that you read one article, by one admittedly massive outlier, in Quillette of all sources, and now you are as happy as Pollyanna, and convinced that "irresponsible journalism" is a much bigger problem for America than, say, giant corporations stomping on labor rights for profit.

It's like if the most skeptical anti-UFO astronomer in the world saw a single supermarket checkout tabloid, then suddenly declared "Well, of course aliens exist! I saw it on the front page of a newspaper!"
I'm not defending that kind of employee misbehaviour, but how to handle that doesn't need to be factored into the sick leave policy beyond making the allowed usage clear and reserving the right to ask for proof when the company has reason to be suspicious.

How to handle that, more broadly, is the same as how to handle any other pattern of employee misbehaviour: some appropriate level of employee discipline according to the misbehaviour's severity and the history of past incidents, ranging from an informal conversation to what the manager in your story did to firing, with many intermediate possibilities.
This exists and to a pleasant effect!

According to the article:

I enjoy Groovy.

It's a passport to the JVM that has all the advantages of Python and few of its downsides. The philosophy is a unique combination of being incredibly developer friendly (kitchen sink APIs etc, every syntactical convenience you can imagine thrown in), but in every other aspect being ruthlessly Java-syntax compatible. You get both dynamic and static typing rolled in, super powerful AST transforms that give you static-compile-time metaprogramming capabilities other languages struggle to achieve. Yet it competes with Bash for single-line utility scripts.

Why is it futile to understand our planet in terms of human concepts? What alternative means of understanding do you have in mind? Direct perception or revelation? Feelings?
>I've seen some claims online that, contrary to what Elastic recommends in their docs, a few machines with huge heaps (100+ gb) is the way to go, rather than many machines with 20gb heaps.

Usually the recommendation is less than 32GB - this link has some more discussion about it:
From https://discuss.elastic.co/t/es-lucene-32gb-heap-myth-or-fac...

It seems whether it's better or worse depends on your data set . But I would love to see tests of different kinds of workloads with large or smaller heaps.

I think Canada implemented conscription much later than the European countries, so in a lot of cases it would be volunteers versus conscripts. I wonder if Canada also had a less visible/rigid class system than Europe back then, that could cause a lack of sympathy for enemy soldiers who realistically had little choice in what they were doing. And obviously Canada isn't going to be holding on to any European territory, so the accomplishment of moving borders around would mean even less to them than the others.
I don't know about paranoid people or the extremes this article speaks about. But group stalking is a thing,usually with an end goal but also for some sick psychological satisfaction.

It's much like how they get a person (usually a female) to install a remote access trojan and basically mess with them and share videos,webcam recordings,etc... On forums (pretty sick stufd,they call the victims their "slaves"). Haven't confirmed it first hand but I can see people coordinating cyberstalking. But in person stalking takes too much resource for me to believe it's done for the sole reason of just messing with someone.

China is not engaging africa out of shrewdness or charity. Its well know to be an area with very weak contracting controls where kickbacks are the norm, not the exception.

China corps are doing this in africa because principals cannot get these kickbacks within china or even south america anymore.

Privatization is the solution.

That is an interesting take on it. I guess my problem with debloating is two fold.

One, when I bothered trying to debloat my Windows gaming machine in the past, many of the changes would be undone when windows updated from time to time and this was frustrating.

Second, I don't know what the advisability of running a bunch of unvetted scripts is. Sure it's open source, but who is actually going to go thru and read all those scripts one-by-one before running them.
I am sorry for Intel. Perhaps John Gustafson’s 16 bit posits or unums would have made a better choice.
Doesn’t this become an issue when your memory intensive apps close? Because after being evicted, wouldn’t Cortana and all the other stuff need a second to be reloaded into memory?
You're not getting that the alternative is much worse.

Your data is out there. Period. The end. You don't have control over that. All you're doing is trying to re-establish control over data you already lost.

The question now is, do you want it only in the hands of people who want to harm you, or do you want it in the hands of both people who want to harm you as well as people who want to help you?

You seem to only want bad guys to have your data. That's weird.
The question was not posed naturally. They asked in an offended fashion if I was accusing them of dishonesty (well yes, selectively responding to and ignoring presented facts says “those are inconvenient truths I’d rather avoid discussing because it hurts my preferred position/views”).

No. “Disingenuous” is rhetoric used in the context of scientific debates and responses to other studies, without controversy.

Meaning the claims are not valid, not true, not representative, not correct, wrong, mischaracterizing, not genuine. It also means dishonest in science too.

FYI scientists don't use offense to a commonly used term to deflect an opposing view and facts/data. Scientists may partake in highly spirited and civil debates and may call out bias, hypocrisy, lies, and any number of things that plausibly explain opposing incongruent (claims incompatible with facts/data) positions including: idealism, politics, institutionalism, naivety, wishful thinking and so on.

This is the great thing about science and debate. Don’t take arguments personally, it’s the facts that matter. Your biggest critic may be your best friend and they are most effective at showing you where you need to re-evaluate your views/position or improve your self-evaluation and make yourself a better scientist or individual.
There's not a market maker in America that's selling and buying in order to provide liquidity.

You buy low, and sell high, that's the end of the story, for both proprietary trading, trading for clients, and market making. There's no fundamental, categorical difference between these functions.

The difference between prop trading and market making is fundamentally about the time horizon of exposure. Market makers are aiming to zero out their exposure through frequent trading, while prop trading attempts to express a view on the market in the long-term (seconds for market making vs minutes/day/years for prop trading).

I'm a professional quant, and I don't see much of difference, at least as far as the government is concerned.
Even better, some words have directly contradictory meanings in different dialects of English.
