I think both Bush and Obama administration had the intention to destroy terrorists. Otherwise why they kill Bean Ladden? The real problem is they along with all Western society make the situation worse by misunderstanding the human nature just like most doctors treat cancer by cutting a tumor without knowing more cancer will grow faster.

I just wanted to thank you for putting out such quality documentation of your effort and making it seem attainable. I gave it a run similar to this guy and got pretty decent results. Before I saw what you did, I didn't think I had much hope in trying this stuff out and getting any sort of positive results, but overall it was a great experience, even if it didn't end up with that "10kg of Lego in the hopper" end product.
Thanks, that was so much easier to read than some long-winded narrative about it.

Money in political campaigns is just a grift that enriches political fundraisers and does very little to move electoral needles. You may be confusing it with lobbying, which has very different economics.
Wait a minute, this does not sound as romantic as the "protecting our freedom" that gets thrown around whenever army justification is brought up! Are you telling me we've been collectively thanking numerous people for their effort to establish "better positioning to launch intelligence operations"?! /S

On a more serious note, the only country with proven history of attacks on U.S. soil is Saudi Arabia and U.S. officials sure seem in bed with its rulers. So honestly, all this Iran crap is nothing but that; an utter load of crap.

It goes to the heart of a CEO’s job—leadership. Keeping all the of the company engaged in shares objectives, values, goals. You delegate the collection of wood.

I'm at the tail-end of developing a fairly substantial serverless application and I'm not impressed. We encountered lots of little undocumented caveats, and had to rebuild the thing 2 - 3 times before getting it right. My opinion - aws serverless isn't ready for serious projects. I might offload very tiny microservices as serverless applications.

I installed a composting toilet a few months ago at an off-grid cabin in the mountains. The important thing to get right is the venting system. This keeps a negative pressure in the compost chamber so air is continually drawn down through the toilet and up out the vent stack. When this is working correctly the bathroom will have no smell at all.

The second thing to worry about is the overflow drain. Depending on temperature and usage, urine may not evaporate faster then it is added. There is an overflow drain to handle this situation. Local building codes may require you to pipe the overflow to a conventional septic system, thus negating a lot of the cost and simplicity benefits of a composting toilet.

This is old but I believe still applies to Heroku: https://stackoverflow.com/a/18517550

So it’s the opposite of what the normal behavior is, meaning the real client IP is guaranteed to be the last in the list. I probably should have a condition to get the IP based on this logic only if the app is hosted in heroku, then use the standard express way otherwise.

Aphantasia: The Inability to Visualize
It's not like the fedgov spent that entire $2 trillion over there. Most of that got spent into the military-industrial complex, right here at home.

The US got a jobs program for veterans, and a graft trough for the politically well-connected, operating "Beltway Baron" companies in the DC Metro, and the cities just outside of all military bases in the continental US.

If it wasn't justified by suppressing support for terrorism in Afghanistan, it would have been justified by quashing drug smuggling by rebel factions in South America, or by protecting naval shipping routes near the Philippines, or some other pretext to keep pumping the tax money to the same old people.

Not accomplishing the mission as publicly stated is a feature, not a bug, because it obviates the necessity to create some new problem that needs to be fixed with military force.
It sounds very unlikely to me that the Afghan government would be able and willing to borrow that much money to pay the US. But perhaps you have a source for your claim?

That really is a government and market policy concern though. Expecting people to globabally adjust their profit-seeking behavior to include ecology is just wishful thinking. People simply are not able, even if well intentioned, to decide what matters and what doesn't.

Many will say that expecting the government to help is hopeless. However, that is fatalism, and an improperly functioning government doesn't negate the fact that only government can guide the market to preserve the resources of the future (including our health.)
Yes I know that, but how does it affect anyone? Worst I can see is that poor quality banks pay a few percent overnight if they need to borrow on bad days. Surely that is temporary with so many players.

So a big advantage that Go's M:N goroutine model brings to the table is how cheap they are. Cheap enough that tons of concurrency-related stuff you want to do in application code, like implementing a highly-concurrent algorithm, can be done with goroutines directly, without having to think too hard about mechanical sympathy and e.g. translate logical concurrency to physical threading. Go processes commonly have 1M or even 10M active goroutines at once.

So I don't think it's fair to say POSIX threads are comparable or whatever if they don't have this property.
They can be named in Windows as well, and this author has made pleas for developers to do so.

Do you have a source for that claim? Because that's so absurd I think it must've come from one of Trump's 3 AM tweets. Afghanistan is never going to have $2T to give to the United States, and even if they did, they would rather just default on the bonds instead.
That will slow down I'm sure, but the Rust developers and users are aware of a number of things which are still holding the language back and need to be designed and implemented in the next few years. Big functionality stuff and usability stuff. But also a lot of work on the tooling and ecosystems which won't have anything to do with any language changes.

But I would expect in a few more years we'll see the rate of Rust language change will be significantly lower.

Well its all relative but even the abstract starts to add more nuance than you've listed here.

If remote male managers are equivalent to local female managers, it seems natural to phrase it as they have done.
Google Drive is actually perfect for this as it lets you mount the drive (presumably as NAS) so you can read from it directly. I set up a notebook for it but unfortunately the shared folder got rate-limited. It still works if you make a copy of the files in your own Google drive though.

I wonder, how has that worked in the past?

Beyond that, what's the rate of return relative to any other investment we might have made with $2 trillion?

For comparison, what would it cost to eradicate hunger? Estimated at about $30 billion a year. I wonder what that would have meant?
In my forties there many things I know now. How to pick fights, how to see danger signs of projects (too many dependencies, too many teams involved, unclear goals), how to keep things simple, how to speak to developers and managers.
I do not have evidence to the contrary. But a journalist carefully saying it is the opinion of the aggrieved party that the other person was an outright villain does not make it so. It could be true, it could be a mistake or somewhere in the middle. I don't think we will ever know.

> How is random memory relevant here?

Because memory can be filled with random data, so that's a case that needs to be handled if a computer is to "perfectly simulate itself."

>> That's easy to disprove. A calculator isn't sophisticated enough to simulate itself, but a modern computer can perfectly simulate itself.

> Today we can run entire Linux in a web page and we can surely run a simulation of IBM PC.

You said "a modern computer can perfectly simulate itself." If you think "running Linux in a web page" is an example of that, I don't think you understood your initial statement. A modern computer can simulate a less-capable version of itself, but it cannot "perfectly simulate itself," as I showed in my comment.

It's not a good look to come in with an "easy disproof" that itself contains a pretty obvious falsehood. Also I'd wager your implicit statement that the OP's "to understand" is encompassed by your "to simulate" would be generally considered pretty controversial, at a minimum.
One mistake in the first native C compiler was that all struct arms were in the same namespace, so

struct a {
struct *a next;
};

struct b {
struct *b next;
};

was illegal because the second declaration of "next" is a redeclaration.

I have my own O(n^2) blow-up story. Back in the day I wrote some Google AdWords analysis software in a functional language. Being written in a functional language meant that using association lists (linked lists for key/value) was very natural. Anyway these were only used to load the analysis inputs which was written in an Excel spreadsheet (the customer insisted on this!), exported to a CSV and loaded into the software. The spreadsheet was only perhaps 5 rows so, whatever.

One day I got a call from the customer that his analysis was taking 6 hours to run, for a program that should have finished in a fraction of a second. It turned out the customer had tried to load a 30,000 row spreadsheet of input. The program would on every loop iterate over the input association list, resulting in classic O(n^2) performance overall.

After changing all the places to use a hash table it again ran in sub-second, although the code was nowhere near as elegant.
I've not heard anything to that effect, and I don't see any indication of that. Another article with no mention of it: https://newrepublic.com/article/155168/real-costs-war-afghan...

I'd be shocked if Afghanistan would ever be able to repay that amount of money.
Raytheon, etc.. charge a $90MM for a complex project. They then pay the salaries of 100 people for 3 years for a total cost of $30MM. Where did the other $60M go? Raytheon top executives.

To Recap: that $90MM mostly came from the 99% and 60% of it is now permanently in the hands of the 1%. We definitely don't have a modern day Robin Hood.

Indeed.

Nobody seems upset that terrorists are overwhelmingly man. Does it mean that woman are bad terrorists? Is it sexist to say that?

Shouldn't we fix this gender gap? Do we need to promote images of female terrorists and show to young girls that they do indeed exist?

Two-tape machines had the outgoing message on one tape, and the incoming messages recorded to a longer tape, that did not rewind until playback. In some instances, the outgoing message was recorded on a microcassette tape, as would have been used in compact personal audio recorders, and the incoming messages went to either another microcassette or to a full-sized cassette tape.

Single-tape machines were basically extinct by the late 80s. By the 90s, they returned when the outgoing message was recorded to solid-state memory, and the incoming went to tape.
There are some utilities out there that will give your writing a education grade level (such as the Hemingway Editor: http://www.hemingwayapp.com/). In the case of technical documentation, you want to aim for the lowest grade level you can. Your technical words and descriptions of systems will necessarily push the grade level higher. Every non-technical phrase would ideally be written as simply as possible.

Good you can still do that. Next level would be to do it without ignoring all that dark stuff.

Yes, there is plenty of horror to go around, but we humans sometims like to fixate on it, amplify and imagine it somehow absolute, fetishize it. Animals don't live in constant horror, it's pretty obvious (and surely their cortisol levels are not constantly through the roof), they just don't fixate on all that stuff. One day, they'll probably experience agony and death, but so what, it's all part of life. That doesn't make them less conscious really, but in this case just more sane than a lot of us humans.
I believe what he means by "universal" is the ability for the machine to recognize parts it has never physically encountered before (since it's trained on 3d models).

It seems like increasing the number output bins shouldn't really matter much, since with either machine you could just reprogram it and run parts through multiple times, right?
Financial securities have little utility past their monetary value.

Off the top of my head, you give up on any cashflows, such as dividends/interest from the security and maybe also some anciliary rights, such as voting rights or whatever rights bondholders get.

However, you account for forgone cashflows by adjusting the repurchase price accordingly. As for the rights, you can recall the repo (it's usually done overnight).

My mistake. The OP had the story you refer to. I was referring to the main story, which did have the phrase "shooting up in every city in the United States" which is unfortunately close. Apologies.
Being sick of something does not equal hatred. This comment contains amplification of emotion and black-or-white thinking that is more apt to cause defensive responses than anything else. It's best to argue against the best interpretation of a post instead of the worst.
The question is also how the cost compares to other potentially damaging activities and circumstances - including work stress as an employee, work stress as a founder, someone who is bankrupted by the health system, someone who abuses more common and popular drugs like cocaine and alcohol, and so on.

These are all at least as likely to lead to "deterministic" behavioural and emotional changes, not to mention direct physical health issues.

In a broader context, your implication that psychedelics are somehow uniquely dangerous because you disapprove of how they have affected a sample of people you know personally really doesn't stand up to wider scrutiny.
