This is really the problem with all the airports. The check-in/security line is too variable, so showing up really early is the only safe bet.. Then you end up sitting around in the airport. Or alternatively showing up with the about right amount of time, and missing the flight once every dozen or so trips because the security line is wrapped around the building because of some random news tidbit that sends 50% of the precheck through the naked scanner/whatever.
Nonfiction/history: Afghanistan, a Cultural and Political History

https://www.amazon.com/Afghanistan-Cultural-Political-Prince...

The author is one of the leading American scholars on Afghanistan and provides fascinating and pertinent insight into the history of Afghanistan. Highly recommend if you want to understand how and why Afghanistan came to exist as it does today, and to gain insight and respect for its people, culture, their struggles, and the geopolitical significance of Afghanistan.
Deep packet inspection will almost invariably be able to recognize ssh/scp from the packet sizes, the patterns, the ports and so on. You really do need some kind of obfuscation. Starbucks won't catch it, but I know for a fact my former high school does, for example.
I watched the whole video series in the last two weeks. I quite enjoyed it.

It suffered from my classes in that Eater actually deals with the minutiae of working with real electricity — debouncing, clock edge detection, and so forth — because he's building his CPU in the real world on breadboards. That was interesting for me to see.
From a few angles:

* I read the Bible out of curiosity and ended up joining a church, so that's pretty consequential.

* Moby Dick and Journey to the West were probably the most sheer enjoyment I got out of books

* Learning C# 3.0 by Jesse Liberty is extremely dated at this point, and was dated even when I read it, but was the first book that made me "get" many basic OO concepts and taught me a language I've gotten a lot of professional mileage out of

* Skiena's Algorithm Design Manual and Sedewick/Wayne's Algorithms. Most people do algorithms in school. I learned about it while I was already writing programs for money all day, which means it deeply impacted the way I think about my work.

* Discrete Math with Applications by Epp -- I didn't read it all the way through but gave me the foundations to actually understand what the hell the books in the last bullet were talking about

* Battle Cry of Freedom by MacPherson was the first really meaty historical book I read. Turns out I like those a lot.

So many more but this seems like a reasonable place to stop for this discussion.

> Zélus [1] is a new programming language for modeling systems that mix discrete logical time and continuous time behaviors. From a user's perspective, its main originality is to extend an existing Lustre-like synchronous language with Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). The extension is conservative: any synchronous program expressed as data-flow equations and hierarchical automata can be composed arbitrarily with ODEs in the same source code.

> Synchronous programming languages (à la Lucid Synchrone [2]) are language designs for reactive systems with discrete time. Zélus extends them gracefully to hybrid discrete/continuous systems, to interact with the physical world, or simulate it -- while preserving their strong semantic qualities.

> I used to hate Slack’s UX a lot until I started to use Teams.

This. I was told MSFT has switched to Teams. They don't use Skype. Both my current and soon to be new employer (company bought) use Skype for business.

Skype is terrible in many ways.

Teams has a slicker UI. But it brings the horror to a whole new level. Someone mentions you passing in a group. You get a notification in email. But hey, if you aren't signed into that group, you can't see it. And you can only see like 4-5 groups at a time. So you really can't track conversations in real time.

The whole multi-teams experience ... is not well thought out. I have to switch between at least two different company teams multiple times per day, to do my work over the last 4 months.

Slack, for all its annoying mis-features, handles this workflow quite well. The UI, while somewhat simplistic, just works. Search and threading are terrible, but at least search works. Still have not figured out how to download conversations for transfer into tickets/etc.

I just want something that is simple, works well, allows me to search, to reliably enter code/screen caps/etc. Right now, though I don't like it, Slack comes close to working with some annoying misfeatures. Teams ... does not. Skype is best forgotten about.

CNN and TYT are both partisan left. They both published content showing extreme dismay at the election of Trump. That's fine, they're allowed to do that. This just shows their political bias. The same way Fox was airing pro-Trump things at the same time. This isn't a dispute over whether they are right, just over what type of content they publish. I see no problem putting CNN and TYT on the same side of the political spectrum.

EDIT: Downvotes? Give me a counter example that shows how TYT or CNN is not left-leaning.
"Impactful" is such a wishy-washy term.

When done poorly - which I think you have done - another term for your juxtaposition is "false equivalence".

I asked "what makes something a 'conspiracy theory'". You have not answered but only asserted.

To your last paragraph, I again point out that "markets free of government intervention" must necessarily include being free of government intervention with respect to labor power. Eg, the law must not prevent a company and a union from signing a contract to make the company a closed shop.

Anyone not supporting a repeal of Taft-Hartley and related labor laws cannot be in support of a free market, by your definition.

But many of the people I hear who advocate for a 'free market' support those anti-labor laws. Indeed, there is an almost complete lack of discussion on the topic.

Ergo, they aren't actually supporting a free market.

You tell me - why aren't more free market economists calling for the repeal of Taft-Hartley?

Yes, but that's explicitly part of Wolfram's design philosophy: embed as much computational knowledge as possible into the core language.
> with slant towards left-leaning or politically neutral channels

So ... YouTube is actually politically biased? This would be an interesting study to continue. You would need to normalise for view counts etc. since I suspect there is a bias just in terms of numbers. The biggest channels are more progressive, left leaning, so YouTube could appear left-biased simply by recommending most-viewed videos.

Well I've done some work to split small header-only libraries out of the project to make it useful in other places without having to link in everything. Low-latency structured logging, data files, a minimal x86_64 backend (LLVM alternative), structured data compression, network/RPC, message conversion, shared memory data structures, ...

The compression method is pretty neat, has useful applications in other contexts as well. Basically the same way you can view types as propositions, you can view them as probabilities as well (which gives you a scheme for representing the bias in any structured data type). This idea works in other contexts too, like "time compression" for pattern-match translation (choosing an order for tests to match the bias in the data you're deconstructing).

It's hard to find time to write about this stuff with my day job though. :T
> However, I see its core messages as deeply problematic. The entire work is a justification of violence, obedience, and traditional social roles. It's simply amazing to me that Gandhi, the most famous advocate of non-violence in history, was a huge fan of it.

NAND 2 Tetris is great, I don't want to knock it at all, just want to emphasize a difference between it and Ben Eater's content. NAND 2 Tetris explicitly considers most electrical concepts out of scope, and abstracts them away. Eater on the other hand, dives right into them. This isn't a complaint, and it allows NAND 2 Tetris to focus on higher level concerns (such as writing a compiler), but I thought it should be brought up.
I agree with what everyone is saying here. My years of using it led to some of my best music discovery, and the ease of finding playlists with which I could just put on and be happy with the music coming out for hours. I rolled off it a bit when they went to the paid subscription model though, as it was never quite the same for me after that. I didn't really realize how great it was, until years later when I still didn't have any replacement I was happy with. (And I got old..)
I see people say this online from time to time, but I see very little evidence for it. The Madonna Inn charger was clogged with traffic yesterday, despite it being a massive charger relative to what the other US networks have built. Is there any indication that there are other companies wanting to open up massive charging stations along this route and are simply being held up by Tesla? I can't see evidence of that. It isn't like there are massive waves of EA chargers available along the way.

Granted, the Tesla owners with Chademo adapters often did ok, but that was mostly because so few bothered to buy or use them. The available options would have been just as overwhelmed if more owners used them.

Around here, we are actually have some issues with hotels being hostile towards Tesla owners and Tesla having issues finding properties to place chargers.

There is a reason is seems like nonsense and the reason is given at the end of the book - the whole purpose of all of it is to reprogram your brain. It's a journey worth taking.

Egoscue was a paradigm shift for me. I had never considered posture as a critical factor in health, and since reading his books, I've gone down the rabbit hole of posture and myofascial therapy, and I'm appaled at how ignored this domain is in society. Most of us are walking around with so much energy trapped in the tension of our bodies, and our knowledge work further disembodies us. To anyone reading this, I highly recommend buying The Egoscue Method of Health Through Motion, it's like 6 bucks on Amazon, and will change your life.

the Load to Floor Height of a 2013 F-150 4x4 Crew Cab was ~35 inches, the inside box height was 22.5 inches, so the Bed Height to Ground was ~57in

the Load to Floor Height of a 2019 F-150 4x4 Crew Cab was ~36 inches, the inside box height was 21.4 inches, so the Bed Height to Ground was ~57in

They increased the height of the Truck by 1 in but lowered the depth of the bed by 1 in over the 2 generations of trucks

So how exactly did the last 5-6 years change that much?

(1994) I thought at first that that famous machine was still running now, decades later.
It's the correct link but it never did any of that beyond some trials, the free mp3 download was a promo given to us for free by bands that wanted to be highlit, I think we did three of those or so before canning it, it just didn't feel right, but some people really liked it, and it might have been a way to generate some revenue without bugging the users.

Daz was essentially a wiki which allowed people to link artists, bands and media. Unfortunately we never got to the point where we got permission to stream media, but plenty of artists thought that was what we were doing (we just did the legal maximum sample that you could distribute under fair use). I can't count the number of angry 'cease-and-desist' letters that we received, invariably followed by sheepish apologies that they never actually downloaded anything from the site. But some artists really liked it and it was quite interesting to be 'pen pals' with some of the very well known names in the industry.

The whole reason I built it because I saw the writing on the wall with Gracenote, I contributed plenty to CDDB and suddenly saw my own work be used for profit.

Maybe instead of looking at a blog have a look at the archive.org snapshots of the website over time, they give a much better picture. I also built a media player / file sharing client that used daz.com for the meta data called mxchg.com.

But music on the web is very hard to make work as a long term thing, the bills have to be paid and even if the content is user generated you still need to supervise it and ensure that people don't pull tricks to vandalize it or destroy it.

One of the nice things about a fully-featured email filter (I'm using sieve on my own Dovecot installation but you wouldn't have to go that far) is making your own "bulk" mailbox. I have a sieve rule that's got maybe ten "or" conditionals in it, and does a darn good job of picking out mailing list/bulk emails and shunting them to their own box. I don't mind signing up for newsletters or letting merchants mail me so much, because I know those messages are all going to their own special home. I have an older-than-three-months autodelete on the mailbox, and manually move anything I want to keep (receipts, etc) into a "bulk-keep" mailbox, and that's it. Takes me seconds to scan each day, and doesn't pollute my inbox.

In my view it’s a good example of why the manual labeling is flawed as CNN regularly criticizes progressives and airs republican views that TYT then responds to and criticizes CNN for.

To categorize them both as “Partisan Left Focused on politics and exclusively critical of Republicans” is a stark example of why manual labeling of these channels, especially by the two authors and some unnamed person the authors trusted (pg. 4), cannot be unbiased and a survey methodology or topic model would produce more persuasive results.
The 21st century should provide a new model for "lifestyle" and career choices as longevity hits its stride and more studies are published.

Between self, relationships, health, career and hobbies, you can only reasonably pick 2 or 3 for prime year successes (except for a lucky/talented/free-rided few) and causes many to spread themselves too thin keeping up with tradition to enjoy success on any them by their golden years.

Its hard to tell if its caveman logic or the females biological clock that dictates rushing into everything at an early age, but career burnout, high divorce rates and health/mental issues at an early age sacrifice too much for the meager returns.

We'll have to compare notes at a later time, but digital natives may hit critical mass this decade (or next) and kick much of the analog work ethics, career timelines and family syncronization theories to the curb in favor of delayed milestones (career and otherwise) as we inch closer to 100 year life-spans with proper planning.
