There are readers the size of a thumb drive, cards themselves are the standard credit card size or even SIM card size if not contactless. It's not the real issue here, there are a few more important ones such as lack of desktop browser support for U2F NFC use case. U2F applet works fine for me on Android though.
You seem to mistake this as an either-or-argument. I said that people who realize that wifi is unreliable and insecure will make sure to have other options at their disposal. That does not rule out using wifi when convenient and appropriate (e.g. making a guest wlan available to people who wouldn't trust your ethernet either).

But it should not be the only option since it can't be relied on due to its many problems. Deauth attacks aren't the only issue.
This was a very exciting title but a very dodgy article. It references two independent areas of active research but concludes one doesn't work in practice yet and the other (which is buried in this report [0] from Columbia from 2013) works only in rats with stem cells and growth factors. So surely, either the title is misleading about this being viable for humans yet, or there is more progress on the subject beyond what is here and there is a better and more recent source available. Either way, an exciting topic I've also been wondering about for a long time.

How can I make a fasting cookbook? The fasting gets results. What I like about fasting is that a person can't get into an argument on the Internet with a troll about what foods a person can eat and which are not apart of the diet. Are potatoes Paleo or not?

Not OP but I think that the comment about both TV and radio on at the same time was more generic than that.

I'd argue that it's a known fact, at least for anybody that follows any mainstream sport, that sports radio commentary is a lot more exciting that its tv counterpart.

That's correct but there is also an alternative approach. You can track your user event data into your database using an open-source solution such as Rakam API (https://github.com/rakam-io/rakam) or Snowplow (https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow) and use a product analytics tool such as Rakam (https://rakam.io/product) that provides a set of prebuilt reports & ad-hoc reporting interface for the data on top of your database.

That way, you won't be sharing your data with a third-party company, have full control over your data, be able to access an interface similar to Google Analytics with prebuilt reports and also have the ability to model your data for your custom needs and do custom reporting.

Shameless plug: I'm the maintainer of the Rakam API and working for the company behind that open-source product.

WiFi doesn't work the way you're claiming. You can use Deauth to be obnoxious/DoS but MITM could be accomplished without Deauth (via higher signal strength + cloned SSID) and WiFi Auth doesn't involve sending a "password hash" over the air that can be "collected."

WiFi is protected via PSK (pre-shared [encryption] key), public cryptography (via CA generated key-pairs), or RADIUS. With RADIUS auth you may be able to harvest the username but the password is used as a PSK which is a shared secret between the client and RADIUS server. This is a two way check (i.e. the client confirms the RADIUS backed WiFi AP has the password too). After they both confirm each other has the password, a different encryption key is used.

There's no WiFi Auth protocol that I know of that involves sending a password over the air (hashed or otherwise).
Legalization implies decriminalization plus regulation.
I think we’re heading in that direction, but it’s such a recent shift in direction that hopefully it’s just a contingent reaction to the outcome of the referendum. I’m a remainer, but I think once we’re out if the E.U. the party will re-centre itself on its basic priorities.

Mistakes always happen in politics, if you’re not making mistakes you can’t be doing anything worthwhile. Austerity went too far, but fundamentally had to be done. Leaving the EU Is a mistake, but given the referendum the party had to commit itself to delivering what it promised. That’s my take anyway.
May not be relevant to the article, but the 80% keyboard is what I want (I never use the numpad, but I use home/end/page up/page down a lot), but I can't find many choices on the market.
I did quite few things:

1. Getting better at work. I do things x10 faster and better than when I started. That releases me of spending more hour.
2. Be pragmatic with the solutions.
3. I don't accept any job that is not well defined.
4. I do allocate time for me: gym, bycicle, etc.
Yes, but that's literally an implementation detail and this could be done in many different ways. The idea here is to gain some amount of expressiveness, if that is the goal then implementation details should be of lesser importance.

Moving structures around 'by value' rather than 'by reference' is wasteful in my view, but if you have to then you should no longer worry about the underlying mechanism until optimization time rolls around.

This sounds like an uncomfortable kind of meeting. I often find myself saying "we can easily look that up".

Knowing where and how to effectively look things up is a critical aspect of knowledge.
> the lack of innovation in programming techniques called out in this paper.

What kind of innovation? Compiler optimizations? New language paradigms?

Am I right to think computers should adopt a more parallel architecture and design, and to expand on techs like OpenCL and CUDA, and generalize those technique to everything done by a computer, because we've hit a frequency limit?

We often see software being either sharded, distributed, load balanced, etc, but it seems that there is much more performance being possible if we start building chips that enforce the division of a task on the programmer. Of course it seems like it is a very big paradigm shift, which might be too expensive and complicated, but since bleeding edge techs like deep learning cannot be properly accomplished with traditional computers, I tend to believe the computer model of today is outdated.
Humans are the only mammal that uses distance running for hunting, resulting in different injuries than chimps, etc.
Sure, but barring extensive evidence about the differences between them, how is one supposed to select?

I don’t think I’m the one missing the point. You seem to be rebutting points I didn’t make, like other languages (or magic bullets) afford a bug count of zero. You also seem to be ignoring my point, which is that C is in a different ballpark than other languages in its difficulty of implementing correct software.

> "About two thirds of participants chose to read the opinions they agreed with, giving up the chance to earn more money. And this tendency isn’t something you can simply pin on the other political party—the researchers found that both Democrats and Republicans were equally likely to avoid information they disagree with."

That is interesting -- if the participants are willing to forego $X ($Price of disagree - $Price of agree = $X where $Price of disagree > $Price of agree), then does that $X represent the cost of processing disagreeable information, and if that cost were higher ($X increases), would people be more willing to be exposed to disagreeable information? If we remove the direct payment, how does this cost relationship naturally occur -- is time the new variable?
Successful Long March 5 launch opens way for China’s major space plans
I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. I have been on the intermittent fasting thing for about 6 months. I started with 14 hours then 16 hours and now 18-20 hour fast. I dropped 10 pounds. I have a history of diabetes in my family. I took the 28andME DNA test and it said i have a predisposition to diabetes. The doc said to me. You have pre-diabetes just continue to workout and watch what you eat and your insurance does not cover a dietician and then that was it. It was VERY HARD to not eat in morning (black coffee) and after 1 month i got used to , it was very hard to skip lunch and after a few weeks i got used to that. Now now my feeding window is 4pm-8pm. I was pigging out at 4pm but have learned to control that. I workout in a fasted stated 12-1pm ( body weight , pullups. push-ups. 1 mile sprint HIIT and planks) I still get hunger pangs around 3pm its as if my body is getting ready to feed / knows food is coming around 4pm. Another thing that has happened is water tastes "sweeter" very unusual to actually taste water. The result for me is EVERYTHING has improved. I am 48 years old. No more carb fog. No more headaches. I think, i don't know buy i have this clarity i think my eye site has improved too. I mean Im still experimenting but i just feel fantastic. I will be getting blood work done again soon. It's working for me , i don't know if it will work for others. I tell everyone about it. Good LUCKY! :-)
Pubmed publishes its dataset for download. Its rather large but update files come frequently. Its amazing. I beleive NIH adds the MESH terms.

We had someone do a project with it. downloaded the dataset and used it and create a tool to do some searches that we found useful to find colaborators: (last author, working on a specific gene, paper counts, most recent).

Searching by Mesh Terms across species, and search with orthologs.

The dataset sometimes has a hard time disambiguating names (I think the european dataset assigns Ids to names)

Show HN: Cielab.io – a color tool based on human perception
I always found it strange that in school our 'food technology' course focused on baking and not normal cooking.

Baking, aside from maybe bread or pizza bases or something, is basically pure luxury, whereas cooking is actually useful.

I can probably count the times I've baked in the last few years in the single digits.

If you put too much flour in a cake it's going to ruin the consistency, potentially be too dry, whatever.

If you put "too much" spice or oil or vegetables or whatever in a curry or casserole or soup it's just going to taste different. It's quite hard to make a meal that's not serviceable on the hob.

If in an alternate universe Intel had their 7nm process going by now as they should, AMD would be once again “nearly as fast” or “just as fast” and nobody using Intel for anything serious would switch over. Intel would have matched the price and that would have been that.

AWS has AMD compute available simply because it costs 10% less, and you still have to opt-in. Would AWS have bothered with the offering if AMD simply cost the same?

AMD hit a complete once-in-a-lifetime home run on the design and execution while Intel has missed a bunch of dates on their roadmap they expected to make. The AMD CEO herself said that she didn’t expect to be ahead of Intel.

What I’m saying is that your bet would still have been a casino bet.
Julia is a dynamic language, it doesn't have static typing. What happens is that it's dynamic nature is actually a superposition of all possible static implementations of a function. So if you call a * b with an integer it will JIT compile an integer based version of the product, while if you do it with matrices it will compile a matrix product version. Julia Base has 361 implementations of product, which any library or programmer can freely add at any point and the compiler will always match at compile time the most specific version defined for the combination of all arguments (multiple dispatch). You also usually don't need type hints when calling methods, the compiler will infer the types by itself and choose the optimal implementation.

If you define one method with the exact same parameters as an older one it will just redefine it. As a side-note, it has safe points where the JIT will work (usually the global namespace, in which the REPL runs each command), and otherwise it can't see newly declared methods (as it is running already compiled code) unless you use a method to force it (like invokelatest or eval). The period between safe-points is called the world age.

Do you want to say purely remote?

If so, here are some other options:

* Contracting

* Consulting

* Teaching courses

* Writing books

* Remote lead (as you mentioned)

I don't know anything about your skillset or desires but I'd look for something higher leverage than just being a developer. Own more of the problem space.

As far as staying remote, I think there are more and more companies willing to entertain this, especially if you are a senior developer.

The redemption rates of deposit bottles are really high — it’s >65% in places like NY and ~80% in Maine, where more categories are returnable.

Deposits drive economic decisions, especially if they go up. If you were paying a $0.25 deposit on a 12-pack of soda, perhaps you’d choose a more efficient larger package.

Curbside recycling is a mess anyway.

> An example of silly hardware limitations includes substituting an eject button on the floppy drive for dragging it to the trash. The same action used to delete files or folders is used to regain possession of my precious files.

1000x this. I remember using a Mac for the first time at school (1997-ish). I needed to put a file on a floppy, which was similar enough to Windows 95 up to ejecting the floppy. I ran my finger over the drive area and asked someone (a teacher, maybe), who said 'drag the floppy to the trash'. 'I want to eject it, not delete it!' I did it anyway (if it got deleted, just copy it again), and was surprised that it worked. I made another mental note that PCs were superior with their physical eject buttons, as I realized that a Mac could eat a floppy (like a stereo eating a cassette tape) if the drive (or OS or mouse) failed.

Good article considering it's so rare to see people with a decent overviow of the python user base. Most just live in their use case bubble and are, as pointed in conclusion, baffled when they discover what others do with it.

In fact, the best you are at programming, the more you are likely to ignore the diversity that exist behind other entities firewalls.
>It's the action part that's risky. Action has a price, and it's worth considering how high it is in a given case, before jumping to keyboards or bayonets.

I agree completely. I don't think most would disagree with this.

>The point I'm trying to get across is that there are situations that are less like civil rights movement, and more like asking US to threaten China with nukes to get them to back off on HK.

I think you're conflating your fears about a specific, and in my opinion unlikely, doomsday scenario into a general slippery slope argument against the dangers of disruptive justice. Most such movements don't even have a theoretical capacity to pose an existential threat to civilization, so in most cases, the risk is arguably worth the reward.
You are right. In that sense, the AI that puts out the best bullshit will eventually "win", as in general with humanity.

Your perspective (and most readers here) is very different then those of the general population though. The creator of an AI has a deep understanding of how it came to live (even if it does not fully grasp the current learned decision making). But for the average Joe, it's impossible to correctly decide to trust an AI or not.

So even though you're completely right, it's the direction we'll go in anyway. Either humans or other AI's vouch for an algorithm, and 99% of the population will just go with it. It's crap stacked on other crap, and some entities in the right place hugely abuse their position, but it's the only way.
> “ Things get significantly more complicated when an application runtime also enjoys broad popularity as a scripting engine.”

I think this phrase towards the end succinctly captures the big mistake the author is making.

All scripting is application development. Having variation of application lifetimes, deployment circumstances, etc., does not at all represent any difference of kind in terms of reliance on third party APIs, shared abstraction layers, or the standard library. It is all just application development.

I strongly disagree that these different use cases imply different requirements, e.g. for separately versioned instances of the same standard library module.

Python is not unique in this at all. The exact same phenomenon has happened since virtually the dawn of C programming. Some people make educational applications with a deployment model of sharing code or binaries from a website, some people make huge web service frameworks, some people make database drivers, some people make video games.

The same thing is true for C++, Haskell, Java, Scala and many more language ecosystems.

It’s all just application development.
Michigan's deposit is 10 cents per bottle/can. 97% of bottles and cans are recycled, even while Michigan's recycling rate of other materials is pretty low.

Exactly what you described is what happens: If the purchaser doesn't recycle the cans, someone else will. Charities and other people will ask for cans to recycle, and some people will comb through trashcans to get a couple of bucks of empties.

When I want to make a dish I'm unsure of, I will usually read a handful of recipes to get the idea, and then just cook it how I'd like. It helps to have a base of knowledge and experience to understand what each ingredient and cooking technique will do to the dish. So instead of having to go line by line through a particular recipe, you understand how the dish is supposed to work and can execute how you are comfortable executing. It likely won't turn out how any of the recipe creators intended, but it'll usually turn out recognizable as the dish in question, with your own touch to it.

As a college professor I agree completely. I forget who I heard if from but I remember someone saying that if your class is failing the problem isn't the students it is your pedagogy.

Certainly there are always individual students who fail but if most of them fail the midterm and it is only afterwards that you learn they don't understand the book then you aren't doing a very good job of tracking their progress and you aren't actually teaching them.

I don't know how large his classes are. It can certainly be hard to monitor what students are doing in a large lecture hall but in a smaller class of 20 students or so I haven't had much difficulty with students who wouldn't put their phones away when I asked them to.
How do you keep productive doing this? When I fast for more than 16h, my ability to focus decreases a lot. I don't have this luxury as a software developer. Sure I can fast in the weekend, but holy sh*t, my weekends aren't for suffering. It's the time I spend with my family.

I assumed that the student said this because they were blind to the fact that their poor performance was due to inattention.

Sorry to say, then you are stuck in the past and have a C tainted view of COM infrasture.

Using COM from C++ Builder, VB 6, VB.Script, Delphi, Perl or Python, to use 90's only examples, did not have anything to do with "MFC macros and 40 lines of boilerplate to marshal arguments to call into a single entry point".

No one uses MFC to create COM nowadays, unless they are dealing with mid-90's code.

It is modern, because a component based ABI, with language interoperability in mind, is much better than a fossiled ABI designed for PDP-11 clones.
