That doesn't really make much sense. Are you really having a blast in stop and go traffic in your Tesla? It doesn't even make sound - so you can't say you're enjoying the sound of revving the engine.

I think the point of the saying is that if you're going the same speed in both cars, you're likely going to be at a different driving "x/10" effort in the slow car and "y/10" effort in the fast car. And the point is that x >> y. So, you'll be pushing yourself and the car much harder in the slow car than the fast car.

I've found that my enjoyment is somewhat correlated to how hard I am pushing myself and the car. The slower the car, the harder I have and it have to work to go the same speed. Thus, sometimes, the more enjoyment.
The quality of the asset has nothing to do with this issue.

In both cases the actual buyer is an intermediary, who is managing many people's money. Those people don't even know or care what is being invested in. If for some reason many of them decide to disinvest around the same time (say a recession) they may be hurting themselves due to the asymmetrical nature of the action.

At that point, an active investor can say that any losses by holding the stock an additional month would be eclipsed by selling immediately. A passive investment does not have that ability.
Idea Validation – Weekly Curated Recipes According to Your Taste and Needs
Here's the current landing page on Squarespace https://harmonica-okra-k7pm.squarespace.com

I've finally gotten the hint after tons of dead projects and am trying to validate this idea prior to coding anything beyond the landing page https://harmonica-okra-k7pm.squarespace.com

This would be a SaaS service that, through emails, sends you recipes that match your taste and needs. You can specify allergies or specific diets and the service would take care of the rest. All the recipes would be picked manually by me, according to each user requests.

Two main questions

How do you currently manage your search for recipes? Especially if you have allergies or follow a specific diet.

How much would you pay to receive every week recipes handpicked by a human according to your taste and needs?
Those are some bold accusations. Looking forward to hearing the response from Search Guard. I wonder if there were attempts to resolve this quietly before going to the courts (and blogs).
From a first impression, this seems entirely reasonable.

It is unfortunate when "freemium" companies hide essential features like security behind their paywall, and I don't love Elastic for doing that, but code copying is code copying.
I’d say the vast majority of uBlock users care about user experience. The current ad experience sucks. Most local newspaper sites, for example, are unusable because of ads. But if it still preserved their privacy behind the scenes and didn’t significantly improve their experience, the install base on uBlock and other ad blockers would be near 0.
As the demand for computer automation increased, the market produced tools that less intelligent people could use, like Visual Basic vs C++. Management fads infect the dummies. How many lisp nerds do you see at an agile circle jerk meetup? Lawyers and doctors still have an intelligence test in the form of admissions criteria to universities, programmers don’t.
Too bad it is essentially banned in Germany
I think the only thing one should always do is actively update one knowledge and be ready to adjust strategy accordingly.

No strategy/advice last forever

There is no such thing as passive investing per se.

So instead of recommending fund, it's better to recommend them to learn of the fundamentals of investing instead.
Same. It really makes you realize what we take for granted as sighted developers. I can't imagine what the learning curve was like for him, as he lost his sight at age 7, long before many of these accessibility technologies existed. [1]

Hi, I have had gerd since 19 and am 30 now. My brother is a doctor so I keep him aware goings-on, but I have seen other doctors when it got real bad. I have needed to take Prilosec or nexium since I was first prescribed 10 years ago. Maybe I destroyed my esophageal sphincter with the binge drinking as a teen. Idk. I had an endoscopy in my mid-20s and they didn’t find anything besides mild irritation.

Thanks for the tips, I definitely need to start double-dosing PPIs (again). I only recently started taking famotidine. I’m not sure if Ranitidine is effective for me. Tagamet right? I have not noticed any changes from Tagamet or famotidine, actually, but I guess everything together has synergistic effects.
Interestingly, depending on the context I find one or the other to be more readable. XML is great when you're got a lot of content, because it provides additional context of where you are in the closing tag, but it's not as great when you don't have a lot of data since the closing tag is just visual clutter.

> So Australia, Canada, and the US are going to be returned to their previous owners?

If you read the article, this boils down to a dispute very specifically about compensation for property seized by the Soviet Union, well after the Hohenzollern's became private citizens.

Given that Australia, Canada, and the US were at no point seized from private citizens by the Soviet Union, the answer to your question would appear to be "no".

> There is zero consistency in these kinds of claims

If you read the article and determine what type of claims are being discussed, you'll see there's a LOT of consistency.
Considering how much time many people spend online, and how efficient these profiling systems have become, I wouldn't be surprised if 14 days was plenty of time.
WhatsApp was specifically designed to be encrypted and private. Facebook, however, seems to play fast and loose with data. Sure you can talk to John Doe, but you might hope no one else knows that you're talking to John or what you're talking about. Useful, for example, to report a government conspiracy to a reporter.
Netflix's chaos monkey comes to mind.
> Just because the political structures are similar doesn't mean their composition is similar, which is more what I'm getting at.

You're absolutely correct!

In case I was unclear eariler, I was strictly addressing questions of structure. Please accept my sincere apologies for my failure to make my self clear.
On the Android side, attempts at small, high-spec phones seem to have been abandoned.
Sony had the excellent "Compact" series which now seems abandoned, and the Samsung Galaxy S9 Mini never made it to market.

It's how you say "toucan" in Scots.
Although it could be argued that in that year it wasn't clear that he was a monster. And there was not yet a "regime".

I find the theory that it is a game especially intriguing. In ancient times, games were used as divination methods, a way to know the will of the gods [1]. The game theory explains many things, such as the uniqueness of the symbols and the spiral pattern.

Board games, like language, music, and religion, have been created in every culture [2] [3], but physical evidence is very scarce. Written evidence is even more lacking. There are games we know of, but know very little of how they were played or used (e.g.: Senet) [4]. Could the Phaistos disc be a rare piece of physical evidence?

An entire book has been written about the Phaistos disk as board game [5]. I can't speak to the specific theories/guesses made in the book, but the notion that the disc is a game seems very plausible to this casual observer.

My doctors have told me it’s fine to take the PPI as long as you need; I’m not sure about the others.

There is evidence of negative effects but I guess it’s a choice between heartburn symptoms or risk of those..
In my initial Army job I had to learn how to copy Morse code. I got up to a respectable 23 groups per minute (a group is 5 characters). If I remember right, beyond about 13-15 GPM, once the code stopped transmitting I would still write for another 20 seconds or so. It was not something I consciously did, it just backed up in my brain.
It works great... until you have an issue the process was never designed to handle, then everything just explodes.
On the process side, agile is out, Lean is back in, scrum is persona non-grata.

On the tech buzzword side, I've started hearing micro-frontends all over the place (think 9 iframes arranged in a grid, but with javascript).
Streaming and download/playback tools can offer greater flexibility. I typically use mpv, though other options are mps-youtube, or for download + playback, youtube-dl and xine, mplayer, mpv, mps, or VLC.

I find I can typically listen at 1.25 - 1.75 readily. Exceptionally poor content I'll bump to 2x. I don't generally go much above that unless I'm fast-forward scanning video for specific content.
Every Expo App Includes Facebook's SDK
It seems likely that the ad network could detect the change in ID if the expiration happens in the middle of a browsing session. Which, considering user habits, they are probably online at the same time every day, or have habits that cycle weekly.

Also, considering we largely do the same things every week and every day, I suspect a single day to give you at least 50% of a user's identifying data, and a week to give you at least 80%. That leaves a whole week of pretty accurate tracking.

I think you've made a pretty wild claim that 14 days isn't enough time to build a useful profile. Regardless, even if the usefulness of the data over two weeks is questionable, it's still illegal to share the data in this way. You wouldn't be too happy if someone broke into your house and "only" stole a single fork.
Look at my boy Timmy Ferris go, taking the lead on this!
Would rather not share the details here, but I know of one instance of a person having been found on Facebook via her phone number even though she never provided it - just one imprudent person who has your number associated with your real full name is enough for this to happen.
Slack Plunges to All Time Low, Drops Below IPO Price
Anecdata: he Rust people I know do a lot of talking. They have very little running in production. The Go people I know do less talking and tend to ship a lot more code into production. Or more precisely: more value per month.

And mind you: I manage quite a few projects where Rust would be a great fit because it would replace C/C++, but for embedded projects Rust just isn’t getting the traction it needs to convince key industry players.
I wonder the same thing.

For instance, I suspect a lot of kids do not have proper fear of wild animals, because from television they know animals are friendly, and some can even talk.

Additionally, bad guys wear black and have scars, while good guys are clean shaven and wear attractive clothing.
"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." is bullshit. Some things need long-form. That said, I'll see what I can do about it, and update here if I can manage it.
I'm not very sympathetic if you're weighing the value it provides to you over the value it provides to the class, which is often where these "resources" fall short.
Unless you're already prone to writing frequent essays, I would advise against that.
To be fair, some of the offers those investors make are pretty awful and sometimes they treat the people on the show pretty badly. The show is mostly for entertainment and a lot of it is manufactured. If people go on the show trying to give them as little as possible while also getting promotion on tv, then I don't really blame them.
Because progressive is exactly the self centred mindset as the middle classes that fought for communist ideals for the working class they'd barely rubbed shoulders with.

It's less about the people you are supposedly trying to help and more about the power you're trying to wrestle away from some elite.

Nazi's did along racial divides, communists along class divides. Both failed and so time to try some other divide. This one is even more insidious because it's not even clear sometimes where the divide is.
> Doctorow mentions "Plays for Sure", which doesn't play any more.

Ironically, if you do want something that really does play for sure, get a pirated copy.
I dunno. After moving to the valley and leaving all my friends behind, social media is my one connection to anyone besides my wife. I don't compare myself to people on SM and feel bad. I see my friends and family and generally feel good.
Doctors are always on the news for resisting such imposed methodologies, the amount of them should be much larger than what is visible.

For pilots, I literally work in a pilots methodology factory :)

But if you want to see crazy methodologies, imposed by the ton, by people that have no idea what they are talking about, go look at teachers.
It would have been better if they provided explicit examples of infringement.
Funny enough, the practical test standards are more or less published as the test checklist, which includes verification that the person getting their pilot's license used checklists proficiently. (The checklist checks checklist checks?)
Glad to see some Olympus and micro four thirds fans in this thread. I also sold my Nikon D7100 and pro lenses (24-70/2.8, 70-200/2.8) after realizing that I rarely take them out because of the bulk and weight. Got E-M1mII and E-M10mII and some nice lenses instead (12-40/2.8, 7-14/2.8, 45/1.8, 75/1.8, Panasonic 20/1.7). Love, love it.
So glad I trusted this rather spontaneous decision. Initially I was thinking about getting the FF Nikon D850.
Now I cannot imagine buying a DSLR.
The family members of those dead cyclists are crisis actors or something, right? There's no cycling problem.
The page reads: 'Read "Back End Systems Using Python" on a larger screen, or in the Medium App!' without any option to view the text on mobile.

Moreover, the text quoted above is not selectable - I had to type it instead of copying and pasting it.

Even from Medium I didn't expect such a hostile interface.
Unfortunately, since June 2018, we have witnessed significant intermingling of proprietary code into the code base. While an Apache 2.0 licensed download is still available, there is an extreme lack of clarity as to what customers who care about open source are getting and what they can depend on. For example, neither release notes nor documentation make it clear what is open source and what is proprietary. Enterprise developers may inadvertently apply a fix or enhancement to the proprietary source code. - from amazon's opendistro announcement.
yes, keep that in mind when interviewing. Asking the interviewer "Do you like working here?" will always return skewed answers.
That's a good point, 3x speaking speed is reading speed, so there's nothing unusual about using it on comments largely intended to be read. That makes perfect sense.

What doesn't make sense to me is consuming things that have a _set_ speed, such as video/TV or lectures, at a dramatically faster speed.
I love Libro.fm!

Also, as a last resort, Google Play has most of Audible's content but DRM free.
Exceedingly slow narration, particularly what's normal for audiobooks, is annoying to me because it's slower than I process words. It's like walking with someone whose pace is far slower than your natural gait -- it takes more energy and concentration to slow down. It's why slow-talkers are so annoying.

This isn't "how fast can I go through this" but "what is a comfortable pace"?

So I bump the speed up, though usually fairly modestly: 1.25x - 1.5x is generally enough.

I've noticed that preferred speeds vary tremendously with the quality of the work and speaker -- high-density information and an exceedingly good speaker, and I'll slow down. Slapdash redundant content and poor speaker, I'll speed up.

The degree of polish in the production matters tremendously. I've listened to CPG Grey's YouTube videos (highly polished) and podcasts (a lot of chit-chat with his co-host). The videos work well at normal speed, or perhaps slighly sped up. The podcasts I find nearly unlistenable, though they improve at much higher speeds (1.75x - 2x).

Sorry, I misused "codepage" but meant the unicode block that includes these characters.

My question is whether, considering these glyphs were included in Unicode for the purpose of usage as you described, those who would use it be technically sophisticated enough to actually do so?

i.e. we built it, but will they come?
Going to be a while before someone rips Bulma + Vue out of my hands.

> Professors also want the best for their students

Yes, but students need to buy textbooks. Is it really for "the best" if students have to worry about paying hundreds of dollars for the latest version of a textbook rather than getting 99% of the benefit from the PDF for edition n-1 they can find online?

> Plus its a petty injustice that only hurts people in aggregate, and it only hurts people who already can afford college in rich places, so no-one is really going to care about this to change it.

No, no, and no :(
Seems this is a common theme... I wrote a (no search) solver in Perl for a class a while back. Mostly wanted to see how far my own solution finding rules would get me without having to follow through on solving hundreds of puzzles myself.
I think there's something to that. You're zipping through just listening for the highlights. Similar to how you can listen to a full podcast, or often just watch highlight clips on Youtube and feel like you "mostly" enjoyed it. You got the best stuff. Obviously that isn't what some people want, but it's an interesting optimization.
And the best thing: these lenses are sharp wide open. On other systems you get 2.8 lens, but need to stop it down to 4.0 be useful. On u4/3 you get 45/1.2 and you can use it at 1.2.
> Although we can show that Facebook use seems to lead to diminished well-being

How do you define "diminished well-being"?
A person that identifies as a flower wouldn't either. What is your point exactly? I think that is bullshit and the science is on my side. I don't care if those who claim to be allergic to electricity gets offended when I say that shit is not real, just as I claim that there is only two genders and you are the one who is a bad actor if you try to make others believe otherwise.

It's like a sect that people just seems to buy into for some reason. It doesn't make any sense, it doesn't have any scientific validity what so ever and still that is a touchy subject but calling out other silly stuff people believe aren't? Do you also believe in a flat earth perhaps? If not, why not?

I have a hard time living that hypocrisy, dislike me or not. I do not care if everyone doesn't like me as I expect everyone not to. It is ok if you have another opinion but it is pretty typical since intolerant people usually are like that, can't accept that other people do not share their worldviews. Also I actually am pretty good at making jokes, so it doesn't seem that way to me.

Maybe people like you just lack a sense of humor?
What semantic content is conveyed by assigning Unicode codepoints, though? The article says it's not even clear that it's a script. How can you make out numbers, or ordering, or meaning?

Are there proposals to create a Unicode block for, say, the Voynich Manuscript? There's been much more written about that than this disc.

TL;DR: The Norwegian orienteer Kjell Staxrud, the founder of the pictorial control description, has passed away aged 94. In recognition of his ground-breaking work within IOF, Kjell Staxrud was one of the first to be awarded the Silver Pin of Honour, in 1981.

> It was at the 8th IOF congress in 1975 that he took over the chairmanship of the IOF Technical Committee. In 1976 he presented the first draft of pictorial control descriptions[0] with their distinctive symbols. In the period that followed, the control description symbols were developed further by the Technical Committee, and they were finalised and approved for use in 1978.

> This was a great step forward for fair international competition, enabling orienteering to leave behind the hassle of often wrong or misleading translations for the description of controls.

Your snarkiness aside, that’s why it’s important to find an auditor that understands your business. Traditional auditors understand traditional compliance regimes. If you want to use innovative compliance methodology, like relying on infrastructure as code for instance, then you need an auditor who understands those practices.

Take PCI for example. A couple of years ago they released a document called Cloud Computing Guidelines, which was basically guidance for compliance through software defined network and that sort of stuff. As a PCI QSA (auditor), you may not ever need to know about these guidelines, or that they even exist. But if you want to work with business that rely on them then you’ll need to, and if you want to implement them in your organisation, then you’ll need to find a QSA that understands them.
The fact that software development is not something most organizations understand how to do (well/at all) but still insist on trying to do anyway. Unfortunately, this means that a significant percentage of their projects will fail. Changing out methodologies/tech stacks/languages are great way to redirect blame when things go wrong.
From your first three I've only seen Antichamber. I agree that it's a cognitive challenge like portal, but I also think it doesn't involve the same kind of spatial reasoning portal does. Well, at least not in the (otherwise ubiquitous) 3D space.
Exactly. Trump is one of these people, which is why they love him so much. That he is in a position of such great responsibility is incredibly dangerous.
You speak with authority, but with ignorance. MS had a lot of JavaScript and needed to put some semblance to the madness of development. Read early history. Watch some talks of Hejlsberg, they are insightful and makes you a better developer.
I think you misread that. They didn't say that medicinal plants were worse than the condition - rather the opposite. The point they were making was "better than being ill" is not the same as "you will always feel better so eat it at any meal".
Looks very interesting. But when would I want to use OmniSciDB and OmniSci charts? I am not a working data scientist so my understanding here is limited.
IMO it still holds true if you consider Instagram as part of Facebook.
