Agreed. I am a traveler and we are all connected, everything has beauty.

Ego death from psychedelics is realizing ego is a tool, that it isn't truly you, just a tool or armor you use to navigate reality. We live in a self-interested world, people must have an ego or you get steamrolled by the machine and divided by walls. Ego can help you tear down the walls or ignore them entirely as they are the ego of the real world and others. It helps you realize the world is nothing, unless you make it something, unless you create it for yourself.

Ego is "a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance" and "the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious and is responsible for reality testing and a sense of personal identity".

Awareness of ego is key, psychedelics help you recognize it is an abstraction to you.
I think that the SEC has the drawing power it does because of how it competes on a national level. The SEC in and of itself is a bunch of mediocre to good teams and a few powerhouses that bear the load for its reputation. Every P5 conference in existence would be irreparably harmed if they engaged in purely regional competition / contracts.

I think it would make more sense to extend the range of motion to allow ∧ than it would to make it detachable with a cable.

Edit: It appears to do exactly this.
I've had pretty good luck with using table triggers to update materialized views and make everything "automatic". A little more work up front, but pretty easy to forget about it once it's in place.

Just like a baker can refuse to create a White Power cake covered in swastikas based on their sincerely held views!
Yes, great, the free market way: let everything go to shit and everyone suffers needlessly.

Reform through other means? Blasphemy.
To explain a bit about your question to others:

YouTube directly lost money by introducing these changes, because content that is demonetized doesn't make YouTube any money either. However, the bigger picture is that if YouTube in its entirety becomes advertiser unfriendly, then much more money is lost by them.

So the question whether YouTube lost money with these demonetization rules is not so easy to answer.
Never claimed it was, was answering a question with facts to clear confusion. :)
That's the main reason why people leave, and the main reason why some country/ies are not desirable. Here in the neighboring Serbia corruption is insane, and yet, Bulgaria is a synonym for a corrupted country here.
This is political nonsense and doesn't belong here
I find this whole scenario kinda interesting - I don't expect to be able to explain why anything from Douglas Adams should appeal to someone... they can only read it and see if it clicks for them. It definitely clicks for me.

On the other hand, I feel that Terry Pratchet has a similar sense of humor. However, I got all the way through The Colour Of Magic, giving it an honest shot, and deciding that it just wasn't for me. I find his humor to miss the mark, and be more obnoxious than funny. I can't quite put my finger on why I have such a polar reaction to two authors with a seemingly similar sense of humor. I guess maybe I find Pratchett to be more self-indulgent (not that Adams isn't!) while Adams adds a lot of witty perspective and his observations within his sci-fi universe are always actually observations about our universe.
From that summary it seems that amyloid may be an effect, not a cause, of Alzheimer's.

If it's supposed to sell for the 2020 holidays, it would probably be released by October 2020 or so, so it's more like 12-13 months. Still seems like a rather long lead time.
> No. I believe that the sum total effect would be deterrence - sure some would radicalize and may throw themselves suicidally against the regime, but I believe the majority would give way to their desire for self preservation.

Your belief is contradicted by recent evidence.

> Why does the USA order strikes on terrorist targets, knowing full well there will be blowback? Because, on the whole, the strategy works.

No, it doesn't. They've been doing that for 20 years in Afghanistan, and we still have headlines like:

"Afghan government controls just 57 percent of its territory, U.S. watchdog says" (2017)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/02/02...

"As talks to end the war in Afghanistan continue in Qatar this week, and amid continued political disarray in Kabul, there seems to be one clear trend on the ground: The Taliban are consolidating control. The longer the war drags on—now in its 18th year—the more the balance of the conflict tips in the insurgent group’s favor. While there has been fierce debate in the West and in government-controlled areas of Afghanistan about what peace talks with the Taliban mean for women’s rights and the future of Afghan democracy, the view from Taliban-controlled areas suggests a harsh reality that few in the international community seem prepared for: If peace talks succeed, the Taliban will effectively formalize, and likely expand, their control over vast swaths of the country. If peace talks fail, however, the outcome will likely be far worse, with renewed fighting and a precarious government in Kabul."

It won't sell. It's a gimmick.
Haha I've been so absorbed by the brush metaphor in my take I didn't think about what other terms to use. The fanning out is from a brush size slider in the app. My goal was to make it performance friendly for artists so the app has a bunch of real-time things like that.

You're probably right about the dropped packets, though it makes me concerned I'll eventually run into the same problem and my whole workflow depends on the network not sucking lol

Do you set your time step arbitrarily? I haven't implemented a solution for stabilizing the time step (until the gyroscope is added) and found it very difficult to get non-skewed results on images. Yours look really nice though, was that just patience and a steady hand?

I really want to improve the density on mine after seeing your results. For sure I'll work on better diffusion as well, we had one that blurred the results too much so we bailed on the idea but I think a denser strip and a tighter diffusion would be awesome.

> I still wouldn't trust redis for anything other than ephemeral storage

The Redis AOF (commands flush to disk) and replication story is rock solid.

You can replicate writes to an offline secondary that even has scheduled RDB memory dumps or scheduled AOF rewrites.

We've never encountered data loss issues with our read and write heavy Redis services.

Moreover it might not just be developer time vs. latency that's being traded off.

Maintaining a stateful websocket connection on the server side isn't cost-free, and that connection would be idle nearly 100% of the time. The bandwidth consumed via Google's polling solution might well be cheaper than open socket file descriptors of a websockets solution.
> In July, New York City increased its mansion tax – a progressive tax that applies to home sales of more than $1 million – to a maximum of 3.9 percent, up from a flat-rate of 1 percent.

A bunch of other tax changes and reduced deductions have occured recently that make buying/owning expensive units more expensive - especially for frequent buyers/sellers. So I'd be inclined to think the trend is evidence of less short-term speculation rather than a 'true' downturn in NYC real estate.
Is Ukraine that bad? Is it the looming Russian threat, the ethnic divide, a really bad economy, or an even worse corruption problem?
Propfans are great in theory; extra efficiency! More power! Less weight!
However in practice, things are not so rosy. The biggest downsides to propfans are Noise and Safety. Propfans are LOUD! Much louder than the current generation of turbofans. The lack of a fan-case means the tips of the blades are whirling right next to the passenger compartment.
Which leads to safety; there's no fan-case to protect the passengers if one of the blades were to detach from the engine. Turbofans all have very stout fan-cases (they're the single heaviest part of all turbofan engines) and the certification processes include a blade-off test to make sure that the case can contain it. A blade puncturing the fuselage would be a big problem.
Yes, and the baker was willing to sell them a cake. He was not willing to create a bespoke cake. This isn't about refusing service, but refusing compelled speech.

As I've expressed over and over, this isn't about refusing to conduct business.
I don't think all these "recession signs" articles serve any productive purpose. That aside, the article itself mentions this situation is due to the hiked taxes. Anecdotally, I don't see many people in my age cohort looking to buy property anyway, let alone a million dollar condo in NYC. Changing perspectives?
IMHO, the hinged - but separate - displays are a much better idea than the Samsung foldable display. At least for now.

I don't think the reliability of a truly foldable display (e.g. Samsung's Galaxy Fold) will be very good until another couple versions of generational improvements.
You’re right, but I think the dot-com boom bore many IPOs in a relatively short time making many Joe and Jill Blow employees financially secure thus creating a mythos around it and consequently became the in-thing for employers and employees.
I'm not sure I see it as monolithic in its press displaying reach. Facebook, Twitter, GoogleSearch/GoogleNews/Android/Youtube, Apple each have their own way of controlling peoples attention and driving what sites people view, what apps people open. Facebook may or may not be the biggest of those four, but Facebook does not have a monopoly on peoples attention. One could argue Twitter is much smaller than Facebook, but its concentration of celebrities and journalists brings into question its overall utilitarian influence and impact, as opposed to just its raw MAU. The attention of one influential person may change way more in the world than 1000 nonfluencial people.
I'm asking to use "corn bread" and "corn porridge". You'll note that all of the words - "corn", "bread" and "porridge" - are common categories that can be combined with other common words to describe a great amount of meals.

What I'm asking is to stop the constant introduction of dish-specific unique terms (and renaming of existing dishes so that they sound more exciting), and instead use words that can be combined. That's the 101 of preventing combinatorial explosion. When you write code, your functions have arguments. You don't create zero-argument functions for every possible thing a program does and give them unique names.
Can Facebook do that while Zuckerberg is involved though? And do it credibly?

Personally, I don't think so but it's still a big win if they do, so I'm mostly fine with either outcome

> more of a tradeoff

You make it sound like it would have taken months of investment to just use one of the many available better options - at worst, it might have taken a week for somebody to learn web sockets if they actually didn’t have anybody who knew it (and even then, that’s a slow learner). We should be delivering the most efficient options and always weighing the alternatives - we’re professionals, maybe some day we’ll actually start behaving that way. From the top-level responses to this article, today is not that day.
I would argue "as a whole" describes the situation prudently. After all, the parent is pointing specifically at politicians even - not just all people. "In general", "overall", "on average", and "prominently" also all work I think.
The NHS was founded in the ashes of WWII.

Cutting it to save money is backwards; it is an investment that pays dividends in human wealth.

So, with the EU agreements out of force, but not structure to replace it, what's to stop business as usual anyway?
OK so now UK has no treaty for importing oranges or whatever. But that doesn't mean they are going to start actively blocking imports and sales. Sure some nation could do that, but those would be stepwise policy changes, not automatic chaos.

Law governs people, but it doesn't control them. People due what they think will work, even if paperwork changes.
deflect, delay, deny, discount, deceive, divide, dulcify, discredit, destroy and deal.

> it’s handled better than mosx which has a frustrating relationship with multiple external displays.

I have two external displays, one over thunderbolt and one HDMI, and the Mac seems to have no trouble putting my windows where they belong whether I'm on just the laptop screen, just one external monitor or both.

What I've found though is the trick seems to be to make sure you have all your monitors plugged in before you log in. I always make the monitor changes when my laptop is locked.

I'm not particularly interested in demonetizing conservative content.

I am, however, willing to support a movement that results in conservative content being demonetized if American conservatism continues to pander to and fall back on its racist and reactionary cores. It isn't clear to me why social disapprobation and pressure on the whole to excise reactionaries is inappropriate in this context.
Surprising to most, the US governments spend a higher percent of GDP on healthcare than most European countries[1]. Then we also have high private sector spending on healthcare. Its pretty crazy.

I don't think big integer could be greatly accelerated by 128-bit computer. If a 128-bit add takes two cycles of latency, or it causes the frequency to drop (since you need to drive a longer critical path in the ALU in terms of gate delay, which means you need longer cycle times), then you're going to lose a lot in any code that isn't directly involved in the computation, such as loading memory values.

Furthermore, the upside is only at best 2x. It's likely to be worse, because you're still going to be throttled by waiting for memory loads and stores. Knowing that we have 2 64-bit adders available to us to use each cycle, we can still do 128-bit additions at full throughput, although it requires slightly more latency for the carry propagation.

Hardware quad-precision floating point is a more useful scalar 128-bit value to support.
Everything makes a lot more sense if you don't look at advertiser decisions as moral ones, but rather as economic ones.

LGBT is laden with a number of controversial and polarizing issues. This means something that is advertising on a video where this is a meaningful focus, whether positive or negative, may result in controversy. And advertisers can't win in controversy. If they withdraw advertising, one group is pissed. If they don't withdraw advertising, another group is pissed. So they see it in their best interest to avoid controversy altogether simply as a means of maximizing their economic return.

And so you get the end result - advertisers are drawn to bland and inoffensive content. I'd hypothesize this also goes some way towards explaining the deterioration of music which went from invariable social commentary tied to the issues of the day to a million different versions of 'oh baby i love you' as the top tracks. Dylan to Bieber in 40 years. What progress...
This is why the bill is unconstitutional.

From Miller vs. NCAA, P 28:

'Under Brown-Forman, 476 U.S. at 579, 106 S.Ct. at 2084, when a state law directly regulates interstate commerce, it can generally be struck down without further inquiry. The Statute directly regulates interstate commerce and runs afoul of the Commerce Clause both because it regulates a product in interstate commerce beyond Nevada's state boundaries, and because it puts the NCAA, and whatever other national collegiate athletic associations may exist, in jeopardy of being subjected to inconsistent legislation arising from the injection of Nevada's regulatory scheme into the jurisdiction of other states. Because the Statute violates the Commerce Clause per se, we need not balance the burden on interstate commerce against the local benefit derived from the Statute.'

Replace Nevada with California and you've got the same issue. A state is not allowed to unilaterally make special statutory carve-out demands on a national organization.

They can say "hey universities, your student-athletes must be allowed to profit from their own likenesses." Totally within the state's power.

They can't say "hey, NCAA, screw your rules, we decided to make up our own for you and you have to deal with it."
Yeah, it would be crazy to call minecraft white supremacist. Not at all like OK-signs and frog memes. I knew something was fishy about those things from day one.

There is a potential difference though: with the Surface, Microsoft only needed to iterate on the hardware, which it could do by itself. My concern with Windows 10X is that it requires buy-in from developers to reach its full potential, and that has been lacking. To be blunt, UWP attracted basically no developer attention (which is a shame, it was a pretty good development environment). Unless they figure out how to turn that situation around, the Surface Duo might be a fantastic Office machine but nothing else.
Yes, that's exactly what names like "coleslaw" or "de volaille" are. Unique names for things that should be parametrized instead.
That’s easy to say, but unless you’re self employed, that’s an entirely impossible approach to take. Companies expect you to be in the office at a certain time, and that’s not an unreasonable request as most people need to work in teams when everyone else is also available.

The ability and flexibility to work like this is very much a Silicon-Valley-only thing, and you can’t have a meaningful conversation assuming everyone can do that.
Incredible art. Can imagine this sort of 'art-tech' becoming popular in museums and such in the future.
I can't decide how I feel about this. On the one hand, they are totally right that polling is an inelegant solution. In the context of a large-scale website, perhaps it is even harmful to a degree that we should take special note of it. On the other hand, however, the amount of time that was spent on trashing this work is sad to me. Polling is not merely a quick and dirty solution, it is a high-reliability solution where other techniques may fail. I have used many proxies that don't handle WebSockets properly, for example. It is not simple to maintain long-lived streams or connections across all networks. So there are practical upsides to polling that should not be ignored. I can appreciate that this post goes into details explaining why polling is bad, but perhaps it would have come across better as a tweet or something, rather than a full blog post with fancy charts showing how much a particular project sucks.
When I moved to the SF Bay Area in 2011, I spent ~8 months living on about $32 a day for all living costs including housing. That's under the US poverty line and well below the SF Bay Area poverty line. I bought rice, beans and other dry goods in bulk and had my daily meal costs averaged around $2 a day. People need to learn to budget better.

TR4 will likely support PCIe 4.0. It seems to make sense to me to pick Threadripper because of this. Ignoring costs the future-proof of having tomorrow's IO interconnect is probably worth a few bucks for a work machine.
There are a lot of feature requests that just aren't worth implementing in a complex way.

You can set up a simple GET request with some caching on the server and a simple poll on the client in minutes to a couple hours and move on. Especially when real-time accuracy doesn't matter.
Yes. I've also tried to hire through that thread and was not successful.
