It's the fundamental reference which is why I listed it. It's not a series of books one reads from start to finish. I use it as a reference. It's nice having only one source to go to if I need to get the low down on red-black trees, complexity analysis, etc.

It's not a page turner where you'll read it from start to finish. It's a resource. As you encounter subjects in computer science and math you can be sure there's a section on it in TAOCP with a deep dive into it.

I pull mine out from time to time when doing research mostly. I've mostly been interested in automated theorem proving, logical databases, etc. Proof search and deductive queries have a lot of moving parts, need to be fast in order to be interactive, and while the book on combinatorics isn't finished yet... the faciles have been amazing.

Yes they do mostly sit there for the most part. But then again so do most of my books. TAOCP is thoroughly researched and hands-down the best resource for a precise treatment of its subjects.
I actually launched https://ulluminate.com to help with knowledge sharing. I found myself looking through my bookmarks far too often to share things with friends and coworkers. I wanted a tool where I could segment my bookmarks into private, shared, and public spaces and provide annotations as to why I thought the link was helpful. Also the ability to search a link and domain across the network of public bookmarks will be really cool for discovering like minded people and subjects.

I still have A LOT of work to do on it, but the goal is to make it really valuable for team and peer communication. I think if you use a bookmark extension to navigate your organization's structure, it should stay more up to date than a wiki (at least thats my hope).
I fondly remember del.icio.us which was an amazingly simple tag-based bookmarking tool.

I believe it shut down shortly after being acquired by Yahoo and appears inop today. There may be a decent alternative out there but my system for bookmarking things in that way died with their service, sadly.

> Plentiful nutrition which has led to 90% of the population of the USA being overweight, obese, or overfat is another potential culprit.

Yeah I’m gonna need some data to believe that one. 90% obese / overweight? I’m calling bullshit.
Hey, sorry about that!

It's a demo/example of some web technologies I've been playing with (web workers, offscreencanvas, speechsynthesis, tensorflowjs, add to homescreen/offline ready web apps) that will detect and label objects your camera can see, optionally in several languages or read aloud.

It'll probably be most useful in the field on mobile devices, unless you just want to see how it works.

To head off any security concerns - it's totally serverless, this is just some html/JavaScript I threw into s3 to share with anyone who may be interested.
Huh? I can’t make heads or tails of this comment. Can you be more specific or elaborate on what you are trying to say?
> I imagine you'd see a lot more casual piracy if it were trivial to copy, i.e., people just sending the videos to their friends.

Then just put enough of DRM for that not to happens. The fact that it's working through an app is more than enough. Most people have trouble even getting videos out of Youtube and doesn't know you can find apps to do that.

People share password much more than they share video files too.
Indeed. That idea that they can manipulate the market easily is based on some data they have only access. I forgot a paper I saw one month ago speculating on the true capacity of SA production... The 11 billion baril per day is not a truly verified number. Beside, Aramco "is thought" to be financing all the rich life of the more than 4k princes in SA. So imagine the finances and budgeting of Aramco. It's though to be a hellish of...
Ugh. Good to know, thanks.
Google does include YouTube’s financials, they just bundle them with other things. Having a separate line for YouTube has zero impact on the company’s overall financial situation and thus likely has ~zero impact on it’s stock price.

I suspect if anything they don’t want to break out the financials because it would invite more competition. That or YouTube is tied so closely to the rest of the company it’s hard to separate the numbers.
This is not ransom, it's protection money, or monopoly rent in economics jargon.

For an amusing experience, look up "programming questions answered" on Google and Bing and see where Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange show up. If they do. Google serves up a "hongkiat" site that mentions them, but you would need to step deeper that I did to actually find either.

Does this mean that SO and SE are refusing to be coerced?
I was just thinking yesterday that people might be overly paranoid about that, I’ve always agreed that if security were important you shouldn’t share space but lately I’ve begun to question it since a lot of these data centers are pretty carefully controlled.

I’m glad I didn’t speak my mind on that I guess since I was wrong.
I'm from NoVA and I'd believe those numbers.

Also how trades can even make 100k -- I used to run data centers and I got tight with a master electrician who did a lot of work for us. He had to work 6 days a week but got paid damn well, and has as much work as he wanted. But it was hard work, not without risk, and six figures doesn't go far in the DC burbs. Something like 6 out of 10 of the wealthiest counties in the US are DC suburbs.

The point here is to improve the user/developer experience learning Elm. It's one of the things that make Elm such a nice language to work with. A error message that suggests how you might fix the problem is so useful when you are not familiar with the language or programming in general.

Being able to do frontend development that /just works/ when it compiles is fantastic. I have yet to use Elm for anything serious because I mostly do backend work, but if I need to Elm would be my choice. No more 'undefined is not a function' mysteries or trying to figure out what part of the latest Javascript framework is stopping me.

Elm has the basics of what you need to develop frontend applications today, even though I'm sure there is work to be done yet.

I'm a man. I explicitly said this is not about men vs women but about performative masculinity.

That said, did it even occur to you that suggesting a dispute between two grown adult men should best be solved with wrestling or a competitive round of video games is in itself infantilising?

This doesn't resolve the dispute, it just uses a feat of strength to establish literally unquestioned dominance (even if that dominance is purely situational and would require re-establishing on the next dispute).

Resolving a dispute involves, y'know, actually talking and understanding each other's point of view. But that requires empathy.
I assume you want pure emacs, and not something like Spacemacs?

The built in tutorial is helpful, or I've found youtube to be suprisingly helpful for seeing what actually happens as the keys are pressed.

The thing with emacs is that it is far too big to learn it all at once, so just start with the bits you need, then, as you want to learn a new bit, look those up and keep a little cheatsheet next to your screen. It becomes muscle memory soon enough.

Also looking at other peoples dot-files on github for example can be interesting to see what else can be done.

For hundreds of years there have been people predicting some kind of nightmare scenario 'in about 30 years'. In the 1960's and 1970's they were predicting a new ice age, that oil would completely run out, etc etc.

More recently they have been predicting extremely rapid climate change, global warming, 'cities underwater', etc.

Look at the graph of anticipated sea level rise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise

Notice anything suspicious? It goes along pretty flat (the historical data looks as linear as it could possibly be), then as soon as you get to right now it jumps up and to the right with exponential growth. If a startup pitched that growth trajectory everyone would know exactly what was going on - high hopes and lies. Except that well meaning idiots have been pitching this for the last 30 years, exponential up and to the right growth of temperature and sea level, and it never materializes. Every few years they just update the graphs to show the small increase that actually occurred and move the exponential explosion so it's always in the near future.

Edit: I have noticed people down-voting this comment, that's fine of course, but I wonder whether it's because you think the oceans are going to start rising exponentially - starting right now - or if you think it's dangerous to question climate change dogma because it empowers climate change deniers or something? Or are you just down-voting it because it seems like something you don't like?

I never formally studied CS, but I can strongly recommend Code by Charles Petzold.

If you want to learn how a computer does what it does at the absolute lowest levels, it's a great starting point. It's all written in laymans terms so it's good as a conceptual overview or for people without a strong math background. If you're interested in diving super deep into that kind of stuff I imagine it would be a great high level overview to anchor yourself.
Didn't even break onto the chart for the lowest number in the lowest estimates. I wouldn't call that "on the money."

Thanks, I found it.

The label for the setting is unclear.

> [ ] Visited for at least n seconds

Given that the setting above it says "Make title and URL always searchable (recommended)", I think the setting for this option also should be something like:

> [ ] Make pages visited for at least n seconds full-text searchable

It's difficult to connect the grey text that says "Which websites do you want to make full-text searchable?" to the label of the option that controls full-text searching.

It wasn’t a lack of money that led to Bernie’s defeat in the last primary anyway

That isn't what I am saying at all! I am simply pointing out that money changes most candidates, Bernie being the exception. Just because it is hard to reduce/remove money from politics doesn't mean we shouldn't discuss it or raise awareness.

Also, countries like the UK, India etc do have multi party system. Whether their politics is better than US politics is debatable.
High estimation is still over 700% of.
> you're probably far better off reusing whatever you have available to you already in your environment

I think even Knuth himself would agree here - but it’s also worth going through the implementation yourself once or twice (even if you just throw it away) until you really understand what it’s doing, so that you know what’s most useful when.
In this case I'm OK with it. It pulled me in long enough to be entertained.
If you create a listing that competes with someone else’s high volume product you will get fake reviews claiming the product is expired. Multiple times this has happened on a brand new listing with no sales, before the product even arrives at Amazon. Expired is one of the go-to false complaints.

In my experience Amazon reliably push expired product back to the seller, at least using the dates that were declared by the seller. This does not stop a seller from claiming what they like, I suppose.
No. Amateur radio operators have done it, and it’s not difficult to imagine how one would.

In fact I bet the numbers are VERY high.

In special if you try a NEW lang. Lets say I wanna check elm, I try it a little then BANG! weird errors. I will quit, not matter how cool the lang is.

When learning something new, even if you are experienced (I have used professionally more than 12+ langs now) you "budget" to learn something is low: New syntax? New paradigm? hard to install? Limited tooling? Nothing work? Not stackoverflow explains of that error?

You quit in any step of this chain. I glad ELM designer is smart to fix one of them

BTW: Rust is similar here. It have decent error messages.
> the experience that I paid for

I would feel sorry for you, but you would have to pay me for that too.

I ask myself what facts are there to be weighted. I doubt playing along and suddenly China liberalizes is a realistic outlook.

But since China wasn't content with keeping their content rules within their own borders, that option quickly became less interesting. And I do believe that warrants a very strong answer. One which could even deescalate and drawing a clear border for China to respect if it wants to be treated in kind.

Some of these are quite fundamental but not very popular. Which is good, because people forget those. I'm not much of a Sipser guy but maybe it's because they didn't use it at my alma mater when I took my Theory of Computation and Automata courses.

I'll offer the counter anecdote. I've order thousands of food items off Amazon over several years and have had zero issues with expiration dates. I check any food item I think would cause me illness from being expired.
SOP sounds a lot like ECS, with the subjects being the components, but I guess I kind of said that in a different comment.

The Kantian thing is kind of a mindfuck. I may need to think about that for a while. It reminds me of the work Phil Agre did on literary criticism of AI.
Explanation, for those who don’t understand the problem: in some states, like New York, a red arrow is different than a red circle in that it prohibits turn-on-red.

In other states, like Washington, the red arrow is equivalent to the red circle. We even have left-turn-on-red, so (unless you’re stuck behind an out-of-towner) this tends to be much less of an issue.
I've bought online from probably two dozen major retailers. Where to go depends on selection, price, availability and risk. On the other hand, I don't buy from small unknown vendors, either on their own site or via third-party aggregation.

I don't buy from small sketchy local stores either.
the Chinese are 14% of their business. They could cut in other areas to make up for that loss.
We also shouldn't run out screaming when hearing the faintest noise, but try to see what it actually is. And build a better flashlight too.
Still usually the fastest / most convenient way for me to get products in the U.K.

I've personally never had any issues with Amazon in terms of quality, but would never buy anything from them I put in my body - I usually stick to electronics of value < £100.
> These are likely houses marketed towards "investors", aka rich people who don't need a mortgage or have a network of private lenders who specialize in providing credit for the house-flipping industry.

Most international folks who want to move their money out of the country and into real property. This is particularly true of the Chinese and Vancouver, as the CCP basically owns all banks and can snap their fingers and make you poor. But they can't take land and houses in BC. Similar waves of buys have happened with Russians and a few after the new Saudi royalty started flexing their powers.

But it means a nice house in Vancouver (Kitsalano) goes for $2.4MM CAD while salaries lag behind the US. Even at US rates it would be dicey to buy a house unless you had a lump sum to hedge the risk of losing a job.

> We don't tolerate this for, say, word processors; people don't go to a piece of paper to lay out their headings and only then work out the incantations necessary to achieve that result.

There's a reasonably significant set of people that do this sort of thing. The backlash against word processors in favor of simpler focused writing tools or even simpler word processors is what I'd offer as evidence. Scott Hanselmann's video series on "How to REALLY use Word." is another example. (Word has offered powerful stylesheet features since at least 1991 and very few people actually use them, even those that could benefit.)
Easy:

1) because your local store doesn't have it (stores run out of things like the specific shampoo or deoderant or detergent all the time, e.g. probably 2/3 of the time they have regular Tide but not Tide Unscented)

2) because depending on the item, it can be 30-50% cheaper on Amazon (drugstore prices in Manhattan are highway robbery), or

3) because you need another $5 or $10 item to meet the free shipping threshold, so might as well stock up on Q-tips because you'll need them eventually.

Also, expired/fake items are extremely rare, despite the media attention. In about a decade of ordering many, many hundreds of items on Amazon, I once received a counterfeit camera battery (which was quickly refunded) and once received a jar of nuts that was close to, but not at, its expiration. (I also try to order items sold by Amazon directly, and I've never personally been hit by a comingling issue.)

So... that's why.
Sure, but oil wasn't found in Saudi Arabia until 1936 just in time for WW2 to wipe out the British Empire. This was well after the San Remo agreement.

The Saud dynasty did form an alliance with the US, but this wasn't until 1945. That's well after the what most people think of the colonial period, and the terms of the alliance were nothing like a colonial-style arrangement.
But what if you have already reach optimal growth and optimal energy efficiency?

If you have ever played with evolutionary algorithm, you have seen that it is very easy for a system to just "win".

Want to optimize a thing that heavily depends on a mass/surface ratio? Oh, a sphere is the perfect solution. Evolution can't beat it.

Yes, maybe there can be various colonies of photosynthetic organisms competing over millionth of percents of efficiency for billions of years. That's what I call a dead end of evolution.

Honestly, I think this is going to be the end of Brack’s short tenure as top executive at Blizzard. I am reminded of the parable of the three letters. I think the company has backed itself into a corner, and the only way out is to let leadership fall on the sword.
With a profit margin of ~25%, and a mere 10% of revenue coming from China, Activision Blizzard is in no risk of going bankrupt should they lose the Chinese market.

They're only at risk of losing an opportunity to milk the Chinese market for all the money they can later.
The article writer is a known "truther" of the field. But I like his view, I believe we need opinions from his end of the spectrum, but I've also read a few times comments such as this:

>"Academia: Where Crazy People Can't Get Fired - Dr. Moskowitz disgraces the University of California-Berkeley in precisely the same way Dr. Oz and Mark Bittman disgrace Columbia University: They are charlatans who wrap themselves in the prestige of academia to peddle foolishness to anxious parents."

https://www.acsh.org/news/2017/02/28/uc-berkeley-psychologis...

To be honest, I'm somewhat surprised (in a good way!!) that Moskowitz got published on Scientific American at all.

Anyway, I have my fair share of worries on large density mmwave equipment environments, mostly focused on other things, as in, not on its effects on us, but on microbial life, bacterial life, not the focus of this article, so I won't derail, but at least for me, Moskowitz isn't this zero sum game as he may be to some field agents.

I don't understand the obsession with VPN providers. Funneling all your Internet access through a single entity no matter where you connect from just seems like a fundamentally bad idea to me, especially if that entity's business is getting people to funnel all their traffic through, making them a juicy target for governments or hackers.
Visiting a professional is generally a necessary step in recovering from tuberculosis. In that way it is not different from depression. In most forms of depression, talking with someone and doing nothing else is guaranteed to do no good. In that way they do not differ from tuberculosis.
I’ll second this. They also allow you to pay in cash which I think is an aspect of privacy that a lot of VPNs overlook.
>>Little is known the effects of exposure to 4G, a 10-year-old technology, because governments have been remiss in funding this research.

One thing's for sure: there _is_ paucity of research on this topic - judging by a brief search on scholar.google.com for "4G technology health effects humans".
I see the Twitter thread mentions:

> And someone just mentioned to me that past encrypted sessions may be able to be decrypted, which is a much bigger issue!...I haven't researched enough about OpenVPN to know if it's using forward secrecy, though you'd hope so

Any idea where that claim is coming from? Nord's site mentions having forward secrecy in place, so presumably most historical stuff is safe unless they botched that. Of course, somebody in e.g. Hong Kong could still have gotten a MitM attack if they were active while these keys were being used, which is reason enough to worry about exposure.
I paid for this car but it doesn't works underwater, I been screwed so hard...
