Serbia and Croatia are probably just not listed due to lack of data or something. I drink the tap water there and so do locals. It's fine, never got sick.
Don't understand it, but one guy interviewed on the subject said resolution is a function of all the entangled photons. That seems to mean you circumvent the diffraction limit.
I've had something like this for 10 years, self made. I use cut, grep, sort, uniq from the system, but added a tool to compute counts per field, do value processing like awk (using a one line Perl script because I didn't want to learn awk), randomise order, split files by percentage, join multiple files by column and pretty format the data.

Sometimes I make a chain of them 3-4 lines long, at which point I switch to a script.
There was a interesting and relevant post about this recently from a pretty established clojurist:

My understanding is that the high point of social club membership was in the late 1800s through WW2. Before 1840, urban population was under 20%, and people couldn't get to the cities. Until 1950, under 10% of homes had Television. In that period, between 1840 and 1950, people were close enough together and transportation was available, but entertainment options in the home were more limited (radio was available, but not until the late 1920s). As such, men (and it was largely men), wanted things to do in the evenings and after work, and social clubs were where a lot of that happened.

Your kids being the only ones without an tablet/smartphone is social death. Great they are not stuck to a screen, instead they will be a miserable outcast. I agree with your initial post, but the implementation is far from easy and needs an collective approach if you dont want to just ruin your kids lives.
I’ve always wondered why the mirror was slightly out of whack on it, and why the astronauts had to “give it glasses” to fix that problem.

Why do you feel you need to remember them so much? and that there even is something to get out of every book? I feel if something you come across is truly indispensable to know, you'll remember it. Most things aren't so we don't.

In fact, I try to keep as much stuff OUT of my brain as possible. I think of my brain as an index, the smaller it is, the better. In relation to books, this means I highlight anything I find interesting, but otherwise rarely do much else Also just because you don't remember a book doesn't mean it didn't change you. After I read a book, if it was good, it will probably be on my mind for a while as I relate things I learned in it to things I knew.

Later if I want to look something up I'll remember what book it was in, just not the specifics. I don't just do this for books either, I do it for webpages all the time. Currently I am using an extension called Liner to save highlights. For things I'm actively researching for some reason or another, I extract all the highlights out when I'm finished and save them to a note, (I used to do this in Evernote, but I've since switched to Scrivener).

If a book has particularly important information but is dense, and I know I'll need the info later, but later it's very likely I'll forget it, for example, for school, I'll just make nice study-like notes, extracting the useful stuff. In fact, for school, those notes were my study notes, and I would just take exams then promptly forget everything. In case I actually needed the info, the notes existed.

Now that I think about it, this is all why I took to writing lots of comments in my code. Makes it a breeze to drop and pick up projects again. Cannot understand pro-"self-documenting code" people. I've also started documenting any large installs, complicated setups, etc, in gists lately. Very useful.
Italy itself is split between butter (prevalent in the north) and olive oil ( prevalent in the South). Lard, possibly more used in the less coastal more mountainous central areas.
I can’t read... if I pick up a book I just can’t stay focused and read. If I read blog posts it’s fine I can consume that and move on. But novels, tech books, etc. I just cannot focus enough to read. I’ve never figured out how to solve this.

I feel more hands on. I can fiddle with code for hours and hours and get consumed. Build furniture. Build a model. But reading. Nope.
"favored by the universe somehow"

With a large enough population, you are going to end up with the same representation (structure of neurons, glial cells etc) in some subset of brains.

As a painter, I am very aware that taste is not as universal as is constantly advertised. Some people like the shades of blue I use and some don't or are indifferent. Why I chose that blue and why they liked that blue is cause we probably share, in some small corner of a trillion brain cells, a small clump of structure that's exactly alike.
"AutoOut is an automated outlier detection and treatment tool that allows you to get better models with even better accuracy without writing a single line of code."

Nothing is cheaper than another thing if you arbitrarily remove a sufficient almost of the cost. If you have equity you can use that to pay for your apartment.

The general principle underlying all of these situations may in some ways seem like common sense, but it's worth repeating: one side can only know the state of the other side if the other side tells it; and vice-versa.
Okay, so I've spent some time trying to understand this, and I think it's
actually really cool, but I found the "About" and "Concepts" documents tumid and murky.

Here is my understanding of the basic concepts:

- It allows a schema-like set of constraints to be declared for JSON (and
therefore for YAML & TOML) in a syntax that is an extension of JSON.

- Cue deals with types (sets of values) where JSON deals with single values.
Ordinary JSON syntax for a primitive value denotes a set containing that
one value. For example, `a: 1` means that the set of possible values for
`a` is {1}. Cue calls this a concrete definition.

- Cue provides operators for union (`|`) and intersection (`&`) of sets, and
inequalities for ranges of numbers, and so on. `1 | 2` denotes `{1, 2}`.

- Built-in names provide the types `int`, `float`, `string`, etc.

- Cue "struct" types look like JSON objects, associating names with sets.
Each name/value pair is a constraint, and all constraints must be met.
For example, `{a: int}` denotes "the set of objects that have a property
`a` with the value in `int`".

- Properties can be referenced by name; this allows a property defined in
one place to be used a type (set) definition in multiple places.

- When a name is bound more than once, the sets associated with each binding
are intersected. This means that enforcing a schema reduces to simply
combining the schema definition with the "concrete" bindings and throwing
an error when an empty set is encountered.

BTW, if I do have it all wrong and what I've described above is not an
accurate description of Cue, then I think I'll have to go build what I've
described.

Some reasons I'm afraid I'm off-base:

- What's with the lengthy discussion of lattices, and related terminology?
Sure, we can construct a lattice from the set of possible types and a
"subset of" operator, but that's another level of abstraction away from
the necessary concepts, so I don't see what value it adds.

- The `|` operator is described as constructing a sum type, when it seems
to me it must actually be a (non-discriminated) union. Elsewhere the
`|` operator is described as "computing the join", which to me would mean
finding an element in a lattice, but for this to make sense to me I have
to think of it as adding an element to the lattice (again all the lattice
or poset terminology serves only to obfuscate things).

> She said that she found people posting political points of view that oppose the US on my friend[s] list.”

It's not known if the friend is an ISIS member or merely someone posting memes ridiculing US policies - which can be contradicting and capricious, why? We have discourse, we vote for people who write legal statutes and appoint officials who makes further administrative/judicial decisions. They're subject to change.

Judges regularly reject government motions and can even strike legal statutes from the books. People can disagree with the law and argue about it. Laypeople can banter, even if they don't know what they're talking about.

Of course he doesn't have full political rights in US because he's not a citizen. And if he wanted to naturalize, wouldn't he be scrutinized on his background and interviewed?

He's reached out to the news, couldn't he volunteer FB posts made by the friend so we can know what we're talking about? He has to be a big fan of USA - hopefully - if he applied to Harvard and got accepted with a scholarship!

It may not be the first but it is a reason to upgrade from HTTP/1.1. PING frames have other uses too, like being able to estimate connection latency in an application, rather than trying to read it from the kernel. This can be used to load balance across connections, or estimate the bandwidth delay product of a connection. PINGs have a lot of uses; the new thing is being able to control it from an app rather than it being OS specific.
I don't agree that it's social death, because I've seen it managed fine. But I do think that rebellion is inspired from rules, especially over socially popular phenomenon.

Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics, and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-Tzu, and Einstein, and Morobuto, and Buddy Holly, and Aristophanes, and - all of this - all of this - was for nothing. Unless we go to the stars.

Space colonization == survival. So yes, we should have colonial attitudes, and no, they're not the same as imperialism.
Are you saying that after-surgery antibiotics can't be a cause of antibiotic resistance because we've been giving antibiotics for a long time? It takes on the order of decades for antibiotic resistance to be selected for enough that it becomes a problem. And the first antibiotic wasn't even discovered yet a hundred years ago.

I agree with not giving a young person a phone, but I don't consider it easy. This life has all but demanded the smart phone be an essential part of success. A well off (not necessarily financially well off, rather good parent status) parent might be able to keep this away from a child, but I don't think the same is for most parents in America.
Ah, yes, lots of potential options. But usually a small bit at a time for good reasons. I'd not be impressed to hear someone made an AND gate from carbon nanotubes work once, nor any other technology. This seems quite a step up from where others are, which is honestly surprising to me but interesting.
I was an SPD tech and Surgical Tech for a while and while I no longer have skin in the game it's still something that concerns me.

In our hospital anything that came from a Rep, sterilized or not, HAD to be reprocessed as of it were used because there is no way to verify conditions between transport; humidity, height from floor/ceiling, biological incubation and results. On top of that sometimes Reps would only have a single tray but the doc would schedule 4 back to back caeses needing that set. Who gets the blame when it's not ready in time? Not anesthesia for putting the pt under too soon, not the doc for their inability to contact spd prior to scheduling cases, not the nurse for failure to check with the scrub, no it's the SPD staff.

Things like yankhauer and Poole suctions are impossible to clean; many packs come with disposable ones now. Hell, the vast majority of surgical equipment is disposable but hospitals are in the making money business and reuse is much cheaper. Many clinics in our hospital were unaware of how to reprocess their items and would turn in soiled items that sat all weekend covered in blood without any enzymatic cleaner; not to mention half their items were single use but are being treated as multi-use.

Man, I'm glad I moved to being an assist and even happier I left the surgical field in general.
stage 1: elect a single coordinator (which you have to do with paxos anyways)
stage 2: the coordinator sends each message over and over until it has accepts from 51% of acceptors or it times out and starts a reformulation of the acceptor set

If an acceptor does not receive a message from the coordinator over a sufficient period,it times out and tries to trigger a new coordinator election

Coordinator election: try for t time units to get a majority of acceptors to accept your proposal to be coordinator. give up on timeout or notification that there is a running coordinator.

This is the simplest method and not the most efficienct, but it is both live and safe.

Chang/Maxemchuk propose to make stage 2 more efficient that acceptors be arranged in a cycle and messages from the coordinator be numbered sequentially. Then each acceptor takes a turn to broadcast its accept but only does it if it has seen all prior (lower numbered) messages and their accept message responses. on each cycle completion, the coordinator can commit the first message in the cycle.

That's true. I forgot that. Still impressive to see live action though.
For the most part, I agree. There are some scenarios where you could profile a condition based on, say, gene sequencing data more readily than in a diagnostic interview. Maybe like... foster parents call a clinic asking about treatments for possible Fetal Alcohol Syndrome; you query the electronic med records of the child which include a recent dna test, and it turns out the diagnosis is William's Syndrome.

Your experience matches mine exactly. I personally don't like wearing heavy shirts or long sleeves, and I work from home, so I have an office with a little heater and I keep the temperature up at 78-80F (26C or thereabouts)

You know what happens when athletes perform without warming up? They get injuries. It's the same thing. Don't type with cold arms. Beware armrests which suck the heat out of your arms.

I just can't see how distilling mashed-up plums/pears/quince/apricot, in a still - mashed up for the single purpose of being distilled in that still - can be considered more similar to fermenting grape juice, than it is to distilling other things in a still (even potatoes). Hence my comment.

I don't know where your girlfriend's father is from, I'm guessing from behind the iron curtain somewhere based on the comment about the Communists. I'm sure he made good brandy from moscato.

I have been using plain old email as my first point of contact for all of my journalling, todo and personal information store. Each new topic gets a new email with a date in the subject line to remind me when it started or how overdue something is. Updates become replies on previous emails to myself. When a thread gets too wieldy, I review it and re-format or delete or promote it to git. I take time to analyze, introspect, cross reference and index stuff in my personal git wiki.

They key to journalling for me has been 1) consistency and 2) reviewing what was written. The oh-so-obvious secret to consistency is to reduce friction between the thought ('I should write this') and the act. I got rid of my friction by using a separate email account and a dedicated email app with just this account configured on it. And keeping the inbox small is a good incentive to keep reviewing what I write. I take my git repo seriously. I keep reviewing it anytime I get a chance or when I need to refresh my thoughts and memories.

This simple method has worked wonderfully well for more than a year.
I would say that "C++ is more prone to bugs than other languages" is a quantitative claim and it is difficult to back up a quantitative claim without quantitative evidence.

I don't think it calling itself a "study" should have any bearing on your desire to see that quantitative evidence or on your general epistemic stance towards the claims.

> I think most people assume the word “study” indicates something is backed by a rigorous method of research, like the scientific method. You can’t just make an opinion and then claim it’s a study.

I get that there may be some connotation in the context of headlines that empirical evidence gathering was involved.

Does that make it ludicrous to use the term? Not at all.

The paper and the article are both clear about what was involved in the study. I really don't see how there is a "big problem" here (especially compared to issues of reproducibility in studies that are back by empirical data.)

My big concern is the assertions that papers like this are not part of a "rigorous method of research, like the scientific method" completely discount the important role that such papers play in drawing the solid conclusions from data.
For some reason, in some circles, it seems to be semi standard to use þ (0xFE aka thorn) as the delimiter and a paragraph symbol (0x14 aka DC4 aka ^T) as the separator. The latter is not to be confused with 0xB6.
