And what would that difference be when you are just describing different methods for affecting dopaminergic reward pathways?

If you scan the brain with an fMRI, the reward pathway lights up and suggest over time you will have reinforced that pleasurable activity and have created a strong affinity towards repeated activations, further strengthening those pathways.

Have there been any studies to show withdrawals from inhibiting consuming pleasurable visual media?

I mean if you were watching a series on Netflix that really resonates with you and you make a strong connection with the characters and feel as if you are a part of the scenes taking place (game of thrones etc), with characters faces activating your fusiform gyrus and dramatic scenes activating your amygdala making you emotional etc, how is autoplay facilitating the pleasurable dopamine response from imagining/anticipating/looking forward to how great the next episode will be, not as compelling of an issue as consuming exogenous substances that activate similar dopamine release?

If you could reduce new battery prices to the level of crash salvage with just a little R&D of your own, you would not waste time with cute conversion kits, you'd take on Tesla, China and the rest of the car industry directly.
NYT has an anti-tech agenda in general because tech is killing newspapers.

It's also a contrarian position because most people love their tech, and contrarian positions and outrage drive clicks.
This approach using repurposed Tesla batteries seems more of a proof-of-concept than anything (although that's entirely fair, given they currently produce [probably] the best examples).

However, this is probably the tip of an iceberg to come. There is a huge amount of value worldwide in collectible/exotic/classic cars - values have soared since the '08 financial troubles, to the point of some cars becoming pure investments, rather than something to drive.

As we move towards a world where the ICE will become extinct, what will happen to all of this automotive history? A few options:

* huge devaluation

* exemptions (to the ICE ban) for such cars... but at an increasing cost, as presumably petrol would become increasingly expensive and difficult to source

* widespread drive-train conversions, allowing such cars to be enjoyed in perpetuity

Perhaps they don't complain to the police because they are stoic and also prefer maximizing peace and order in their society rather than selfishly clutching their pearls over inconsequential annoyances. Japanese tend to have an intuitive understanding that sending an easily tolerated creep to jail will cause damage to everyone in his life including his employer and his family. They lack the impulsive blind urge for life-destroying revenge which you incorrectly believe everyone naturally possesses. Their culture is different but you seem hesitant to respect or recognize that. Japan Times is also widely considered by actual Japanese people to be racist anti-Japanese propaganda meant to confuse non-Japanese people into eventually insisting on various forms of heavy-handed intervention in their country. The article is written by a no-name pop music blogger and based entirely on his personal spin on a small handful of random tweets. It is probably mostly false.
Me too, though in the case of big medical issues etc there will still be a requirement to somehow get more than that. Same with unemployment benefits etc. E.g a 1000 $ per person is not good enough should you find yourself unemployed suddenly. Some insurance (private or gov or both) will remain.
The best light you can put it in is that removing unnecessary parts of the URL makes it easier for less advanced users to understand what the URL consists of, helping them use "traditional web navigation".

To be fair, Google has previously experimented with hiding the entire path part of the URL, which does hinder URL-based navigation by making the displayed text unusable as a URL. However, that's different from this change, where typing the displayed text into a browser's URL bar would normally get you to the same page (unless the site is configured strangely).
Well your example issue would precisely be solved by only displaying the domain name to users.

This looks pretty cool! Any plans to add Gitlab support? Or do you support any sort of custom integration? I'm sure the CI piece would already work with Gitlab's CI - if you could just ping a webhook with branch + peek.run link that'd probably be enough to get something integrated.

I don't doubt it's enough range for a lot of people, but seriously doubt it's enough for 95% of people.

I also think you effectively need to half the quoted range figure, as there is little guarantee of a charging point at your destination - so it's max 50km/31miles each way. Of course, even if there is a charger at your destination, it's going to take a long time time charge, so may not be convenient in any case.

There is a conflation of a number of things here:

1) The OP to which you responded is confusing peacefulness with being civilised. Japanese are not particularly peaceful, but they are highly civilized. Much more so than western countries (in particular the USA seems to have rather low standards in terms of politeness and civilization), because the Japanese culture places much more value on such things than the various western countries.

2) You are conflating the disposition of the foreign policy of a country with the cultural accepted practices by the population of that country.
No, you don't need rules to understand or use language. You need rules to explain why.

I would +10 this, but would not prefer joining the game industry.

Instead join any related graphics domains: scientific visualisation, graphics drivers, jobs that involve writing game frameworks [1] for example. These jobs will give you both the fun of working in a hard domain combined with the stability that does not come with the intrinsic fickle nature of game industry. FWIW, I have followed this path of learning to write games on the side but not joining any game industry.

My 2$, I would say don't go to the extreme decision of leaving tech (that is also not a bad idea if you work it out) but before exploring all the other interesting options in tech and giving that a try, may make you think 'but if' in the future. Best!

>I wouldn't be so cynical. The real goal is to catch stupid criminals. Not all criminals are stupid, but most are.

The real goal is to expand the state. Bureaucracies, like cancer, want to expand into any aspect of their subjects lives they can. They get job security, bigger budgets, and more power as they expand, what's not to like?

Individual opinions (of politicians, bureaucrats, etc) don't really matter, as the aggregate dynamics of a state/organization tend to expansion and self-preservation -- even if an organization has no real role or is mostly BS (eg TSA).

Besides, nothing wrong with being cynical. Remember McCarthy? The real goal of the collection of data then wasn't to "catch stupid criminals". They collected data on politicians, journalists, businessmen, etc. Same thing with now public records of 10 and 20 years later -- check the files on people like MLK, Lennon, civil rights leaders, etc.

(And of course anybody with experience from European governments like in Italy, Greece, Spain, France, and so on, knows that private info/surveillance is used against whom which the state considers an "internal enemy" all the time, and in fact collection on those was far more common up to the 90s than collection on criminals -- which merely had their criminal record, and periods when they were bugged in suspicion of a crime, whereas politicians, businessmen, activists, writers, journalists etc were tracked all the time).
Is there a probable cause?
I'm curious about your measured pressure drop between the pressure at the pump, and the pressure at the group head. Since coffee machines are low flow and travel through a short distance of presumably stainless steel pipe, my quick calculations indicate a minimal pressure drop compared to the expected 9 bar of pressure used to pull a shot.

Temperature is another kettle of fish as you have demonstrated.

Thanks for talking about Honeycomb, I’ve been looking out for peoples experiences as it looks like quite a nice tool.

We’ve just moved over to structured event based logging, but we’re still using tools like Sumo, newrelic, etc and it’s not all nicely tied together.

I’ve been looking at Honeycomb to either replace or augment our existing tools but had little to go on besides the marketing pages.

Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

Fast growing 400k people city in Transylvania.

Moved here almost four years ago from western Europe. Romanian people are very warm and friendly. Cluj grows and develops at an astonishing rate. Summers are nice and warm, but not too warm. Winters are cold, but not too cold.

Cost of living is high for the average Romanian. However, salaries for software engineers are at least two or three times the average and if you're a little better, it's five or six times more.

All you have to do is get over the fact that it's an ex-communist country. Behind on infrastructure development with a corrupt national government. Local government in Cluj is actually really nice and develops like crazy.
What's the significance of emphasizing port 80 and 443? You can assign basically any ports to any application. If some firewall blocks all traffic but 443, you can configure the service yourself to listen on 443.
This is wrong. BBR still does retransmission if packets do not arrive on time, and any retransmission in the inner TCP stack automatically becomes badput that wastes the outer TCP stack which is likely at the same time also doing retransmission for packet losses at lower layer.

TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT is not a solution to this either. It is a solution for HTTP/2 to be more aware of the congestion state and prioritize traffic properly, which itself does not do retransmission. It makes the buffer smaller so congestion is reported to upper layer earlier but still much later than when the actual congestion happens, distorting the upper/inner TCP congestion control. Also, a 128KiB value is hardcoded here for this knob, effectively rendering it only useful for a bandwidth delay product of 5Mbps * 200ms RTT.
This is a more general problem of sybil attacks.

I don't know... I've known the internet since before the web was the internet. I know there's irc, ftp, etc. To those that grew up with the web, there is nothing beyond the web. The web is the internet. At the rate we're going, in time the new generations will rarely see a URL and won't know what they are exactly or what they're for. Google will be a necessary gateway to access anything on the internet.

Sweet, unless you use any other subdomains for web pages, or want to in the future.

Usually you don't want cookies for domain.com to affect api.donain.com, admin.domain.com, test.domain.com etc.

I actually love www subdomains - the origin tells you it is a website.
I guess the direction is appification of the Internet. On your phone, you launch "Facebook" and "Instagram", not /mnt/apps/facebook.apk and /mnt/apps/instagram.apk. Likewise, on the internet, they want you to visit "Facebook.com", not "https://facebook.com/index.html".

The author attempts to contrast web scraping and web crawling and gets it very wrong. This is what it actually is: web scraping - I download the content of a webpage or select webpages, web crawling - I download the content of the entire internet (or part thereof). How he can say that someone who's crawling the internet and building a search index with the contents of the downloaded data isn't also scraping the web, makes no sense.
The way Safari does it is a lot nicer UX. In Chrome, the URL scheme is always hidden, but if you press copy it magically copies the full URL to the clipboard – as opposed to the actual displayed text. In Safari, the URL scheme becomes visible once you click on the URL bar, so what you see is what you get.

That said, I dislike the default behavior of hiding the entire path until you click, as opposed to just the URL scheme.
I deal quite a lot with JIRA at my job, as this is a corporate tool.

Often, I get questions about the content of these JIRA issues, by issue key: either orally ("hey, what about PRJ-12345 ?"), or in plain text format in email, i.e. "PRJ-12345" _without_ the hyperlink of course. That could result in going to a https://jira.domain.tld/browse/PRJ-12345, or even https://anotherjira.domain.tld/browse/QSK-54321 (yes we have two, separated, instances running).

Like dozens of time a day.

As the JIRA UI does not make it fast enough for me to lookup for such issues so often (and having two different URLs do not help), I wrote a little Hammerspoon script that listen to a keyboard shortcut key.

When I press it:

- if a JIRA issue key is currently highlighted on screen: it just points my browser to it
- if no, an interactive auto-suggester appears and I can type in the issue key, so that I can browse to it immediately as well.

Only a very small automation, but I literally save several precious minutes per day. Mentioning here since the idea might be helpful for others...
It is being tested and it's not a "dangerous, untested new derivative", it's a enantiomer of ketamine, it's literally 50% of the molecules in ketamine. And why don't we just use normal ketamine, why test any new drug, to see if it works better than what we had before.

SDL is fine for cross platform development. Personally, I have used it for some commercial games in the past, but I think it's not comparable to Unity or unreal engine. SDL is not a game engine, it provides only lower level features (audio, opengl context initialization, joystick support, etc).
Even for things like in-game menus and text rasterisation you are on your own.

I'm aware.

But actually, giving a hacked product access to all data forever is a terrible practice, thus you ask what would the motivation be of doing so.

So either, it's epic fail for being so open with the role, or the role is for a product that asks for all data so it can scan and scrub, for example. i.e. Shitty security product.

Also, sure, it's up to them, but should it be if they can't secure other peoples data?

You can write poor code in any language. Language itself has very little other meaning than how well it does it's job in the given context. PHP is great for fast development, has a lot of developers available, and comes with great tooling for the web.

Traditional downsides like poor threading and overall performance were/are overshadowed in that most webcalls are always I/O bound. PHP7 has made great strides on this though, especially on memory usage.
That completely ignores their logistical utility. There are cheaper alternatives to aircraft carriers if you want to attack something but if you need a cargo plane to land near enemy territory for resupply then you either need an ally who provides you access to their airbase or you need an aircraft carrier.

Can you elaborate on the EU?
01CGAT’s link sums it up as: TCP is not designed to be stacked and doing so results in the exponentially increasing retry timeout feature, used for reliability optimization of the protocol, conflicting to provoke excessive retransmission attempts by the upper layer TCP.

The detailed explanation is in the linked article: “Why TCP over TCP is a bad idea”[0]. It was broken for me so I dug up an archive.org copy.

The upper layer transmission control and and retransmission attempts are completely unnecessary as transmission is already guaranteed by the lower layer TCP. The upper layer TCP, unaware of TCP underneath and having an increasing timeout on acknowledgment failure, can begin to queue up more retransmission than the lower layer can process increasing congestion and inducing a meltdown effect.

Explained better here:

Suppose you're on a motorcycle, you come to a traffic light, and it's red. It's the middle of the night, there is no traffic, and the light will never turn green, because your motorcycle isn't heavy enough to trigger the sensor in the road.

HashiCorp Vault 1.2 Released
I cannot imagine being severely depressed, entering a study for it since I'm resistant to most of the drugs, finding one that works....

and then having to stop the thing that works and return to a crappy mind state. Only it is worse because I now have withdrawal symptoms on top of my severe depression, which already put me at risk for suicide.

In my opinion, the issue isn't that there is dependency nor that there is withdrawal effects. After all, these are things that happen and despite the risks, might still be the best available choice for relief. The bigger issue is that we didn't do enough to help folks during this time. We should have provided adequate medical care to keep folks safe. Perhaps we should wean folks off in a better manner and/or provided better psychiatric care to this vulnerable group of folks after trials ended.
