I experienced this while visiting Japan.

While doing a transfer on the Shinkansen in Hiroshima, I left my camera bag at a noodle kiosk on the platform (around $3k worth of equipment). Didn't realize it until 2 hours after getting on the next train.

When we arrived at our destination, I told my friend we were meeting (a Japanese native) what happened, and she reassured me that it would be right where I left it (said something about there being a "taboo" with the Japanese and touching other people's private property).

So we walked over to the JR attendant and explained what happened, and in no time at all she had the other station attendant on the line who confirmed they found my bag. Just as easy as that.

Then I proceeded to lose my wallet and passport in a taxi, which we recovered just as easily!

Japan is a great country to visit, if while abroad you displace the part of your brain that keeps track of things...
I think that's kind of a cynical take on what shutdowns can look like.

If AIs of today make a heap of code (if you say it's data, I say data is code is data) that is really a spaghetti of a code that happens to seemingly achieve a goal, maybe game developers are already a bit like that ;)

Things to consider before spending on multi-cloud
>"Shooter" is a word that's acceptable to use in almost any company, even though the verb at it's root part of some abhorrent acts.

This reasoning is inconsistent with the rejection of "Cummings."
> I also work full-time remotely. I built a community around myself, made new friends and regularly hang out with people I met at coffee shops, at startup meetups, old classmates, ex-coworkers (that may also be fully remote), etc.

This reads like “I have a social life.” I’m sure the author has a social life as well, but it’s way harder to casually chat to people throughout the day when you’re working on your own. (Source: also self-employed/solo for four years.)
Yes, many fonts use double story 'a' for roman and single story 'ɑ' for italic. Calibri, Segoe UI, Times New Roman, Droid Serif, Merriweather, Consolas, and Source Sans Pro are examples I found from quick searching.
Contract work is not the same as part time work.
I think part of this is that a far greater proportion of "lost" valuables in Japan are _really_ lost than in other countries, street crime being pretty rare.

But still, that 6% figure for New York! Can it be true? Is it really normal to steal other people's shit if they leave it behind?
Studies on ego depletion have failed to replicate, which means that the idea of a limited supply of mental energy may not be true.
I shouldn't need to attack my car with a soldering iron and wire cutters because I don't want to be tracked by it.
This would be interesting to see.

I know it's only anecdotal but my brother in law is a doctor at a large hospital (employed physician) and he sees patients 9-5 but he's at the hospital from 7am-8pm doing prep, research and patient notes. That also doesn't count the nights/weekends when he's on call for the ER (usually takes calls from home but occasionally has to go in too). He basically only sees his kids on the weekend.

I worked similar hours for a few years while coding and I expect he will (but hope he doesn't) burn out eventually. It's obviously not sustainable.
From GitHub:

> It turns out this is surprisingly simple to do: just create a FAT volume with a lot of reserved sectors and put the ext2 into the reserved sectors. This works because the filesystems choose different places to put their superblock: FAT uses the very first sector, while ext2 leaves the first kilobyte unused.

So, is it really two independent file systems? At least when it is read only?

It seems writing to one file system is likely to destroy the other, since they would be unaware of each other's allocated blocks.
records were set in 2016
Nope, didn’t. Ah well, good for him regardless.
Both the colon and the arrow are weird. In what sort of situations there is ambiguity in the direction of a pipe or between command and its arguments that this would solve? The colon would make more sense if redirection specifiers would be written before the colon, but alas they are not.

How does the magic with JSON etc work? The docs do mention something about mime types but that is never really explained properly. If I make my own command that outputs JSON, can I make Murex understand that without explicit casts?

Overall the whole thing feels bit quirky to me, but there is cool stuff in there too.
The use of monopoly as the primary measure of whether market abuse is happening or not is a flawed presupposition to begin with. There are only two mobile phone platforms, which are easily more dominant general computing platforms than desktop operating systems, and the proprietors of both routinely use their influential positions in various ways to manipulate secondary markets that depend on them. This is no different than Standard Oil and the railroads.

Quite simply, if the legal tools don't exist to deal with this abuse, they need to be created...just like the Sherman Antitrust Act.
Dean Baker has been arguing against this medical protectionism for years. Also as a factor why costs are so high.
Uncanny Valley of ML – Effects of Smashing ML into Human Decision Systems
It isn't just the time and money side. I personally feel the solution is that most of the time we don't really need a doctor. How many appointments at a primary care are for colds/flu?

We have to switch to largely seeing mid-level providers like PAs or RNs and maybe push even lower. The doctors can be there for the tough cases and to consult and monitor. It is already starting to happen and is one way we can reduce the cost of health care.
Physicians spend hundreds of millions of dollars making competing with them illegal.

Now they can't handle the demand.

But hey physicians make 300k/yr...
I don't think that's an official part of the theory. It may be true, but I don't think anyone's proposed it.

Defining "low amplitude" branch meaningfully would be a real challenge. As I like to say sometimes, the probability of anything happening is indistinguishable from zero. 15-16 billion years after the Big Bang, we've already got a pretty low amplitude, one that would require something like arrow notation (as I reference in another comment) to describe where we are now relative to where the universe started. Heck, it takes arrow notation just to describe how much probability mass we're shedding every second.

(It actually occurs to me after a discussion of this that I can tweak an argument I've been growing over the years to prove that you can't have all three of "a universe that never ends", "the quantum multiverse", and "a coherent conscious experience".)
>or you need consent

That was my point. People sign contracts where they consent to sharing. The advertising industry is not breaking the law because they don't use the data that is necessary for the performance but they use the data that is voluntarily shared.
Wapo still hasn't come to terms with the fact that the 2016 election was wom fair and square? "Democracy dies in darkness". Lol @bozo
The ethical question gets to the point of it. IMHO, I think they should be able to choose either or not to "take the red pill".

Thinking about long term, the life of their children, perhaps their children's children, is likely to be significantly enhanced when things like access to healthcare and education become a possibility.
Same way that they mention “fake news” in the first paragraph of their article. Many of Slate’s articles are heavily bias. You can determine for yourself if heavy bias == fake. Either way, much of “news” today you have to take with a “grain of salt” ...unfortunately.
Yes. Apple is fully in its right to decide how to distribute its software. Just like an open source software license can dictate how their software is used. If you want to use MacOS you have to use a Mac.
By "medical cartel" are you referring to the US Congress? Because the actual bottleneck in physician production is in the shortage of residency training slots, and the vast majority of those are funded by the Federal government. The American Medical Association has been lobbying for more residency slots. Every year students graduate from medical schools but are unable to practice medicine because they can't get matched to a residency program.

Wanting a refund within a reasonable grace period ("immediately afterwards" definitely counts) isn't a 'rare error', even if the purchase itself could be considered such.
It would likely depend of if the filesystem uses TRIM to notify the SSD of deleted sectors.

If it doesn't, the deleted files should retain their data until the filesystem reuses the sector, as normal. If trim is used, the SSD doesn't have to retain the data, but it doesn't necessarily make it unreadable immediately, there are many implementation strategies for trim.
That was a very good blog post, but it begs the question: how much time do you spend tracking/analyzing your time?
that first title is also bad
Physicians, not all doctors have the physician monopoly.
I find it somehow a little sad that now that we are finally moving to less-polluting cars, they still have to take the size and form of huge hulking SUVs.

I understand that batteries still weigh a literal ton, but it would be nice if we could have something like a Corolla or Civic - efficient and not too expensive.
Yeah, it was briefly on Windows 10 as well, it was my favourite PDF reader and now it's gone. Good job Microsoft.

Typescript from the ground up is absolutely worth it, starting with how it gives you full IDE inference for all those "big blob of options" objects that a lot of JS methods use.
I found some of his grammatical choices to be questionable as well.

Nice job marrying someone in medical. I too married a doctor.

It clearly is the issue raised in the comment I am replying to.

Anyway we have always had this on games consoles, and had it on phones for many years before Apple even made a phone. We have it on some embedded platforms too.

There is nothing at all novel or special about this business model, and braking it will kill the business model of a lot of companies, including all the console makers. In fact compared to them iOS is a paradise of openness and market competition for software. Yet for some reason, I never see anyone rolling out this argument against Nintendo.
> In a study comparing dropped phones and wallets in New York and Tokyo, 88% of phones “lost” by the researchers were handed into the police by Tokyo residents, compared to 6% of the ones “lost” in New York. Likewise, 80% of Tokyo wallets were handed in compared to 10% in New York.

Wow!
Having waited several months to get an appointment with a urologist in the PNW, I thought of a solution to this problem. Anytime the waiting time to see a practitioner of a particular specialty exceeds some predetermined time, the top marginal income tax rate for those who practice that specialty becomes 90% until the wait times are within the desired range of 2-4 weeks. It won't take long for the current practitioners to demand that schools produce more graduates. The artificial scarcity is bullshit and we shouldn't put up with it.
I'm most impressed by how detailed the tracked time is- what app or method did you use and how did you stick to it?
That seems like it would be difficult to type.
Instead of focusing on what TS does not, focus on what it does.

TypeScript is not sound; JavaScript isn’t either. The first one will catch some type errors, the second will catch none.

Syntax highlighting, linting, testing, and now type checking: every step can make you more confident about the code you ship, before it even hits the browser.

You can forgo using any help and probably you’ll code faster, but, again, you lose confidence.
My parents have a concierge medicine relationship with their physician. It's fantastic. He is a complete professional who cares deeply about all of his patients (he works nights and weekends, does research outside of business hours, works around insurance and exploits every legal loophole possible to help them) but holy crap is it expensive. They are paying for their normal insurance plus this service ($3000 annually). This is what it's come to in the US---to be able to have a semblance of a relationship with your physician you need to pay a premium on top of the gouging that your "insurance" already charges you.

Note: My parents are not* rich, they scrape by on social security and my dads part time work fixing sprinkler systems.

I think it was the movie "The Darwin Awards" that first introduced me to the concept of "micro-morts". The idea that there are activities that carry a small increase in the probability of death... Since then, I've seen other evidence of that idea.

I read a story about a nomadic tribe that will not sleep under dead trees as it is seen as bad luck. On any given night the chance that a dead tree will fall on you is very small, but if you sleep under dead trees every night, the chance that one will fall on you starts to add up, and it's likely to be your eventual cause of death.
“In many cases, the person is way overqualified. Someone with multiple graduate degrees might be running the CEO’s laundry because that’s the most important thing at the moment.“

These sort of ideas telegraph that the author knows they got rich but don’t actually understand how they got there.
Also wrong, the "not share" option has to be default, and displayed larger and clearly visible
Paper is not effectively killing nature. Especially in the US, which is home to one of the largest paper-producing regions in the world.

Nearly (if not actually) all of the pulp required for paper comes from managed forests grown and harvested specifically to produce wood products over time. These tree farms are stable, not shrinking.

From the article:

> The extent of tracking makes it impossible for us to make informed choices about how our personal data is collected, shared and used, says Finn Myrstad, director of digital policy in the Norwegian Consumer Council.

The Council's point is that the average consumer is not capable of meaningful consent due to the extent and obfuscation of the tracking involved. Much of contract law, afaik, requires a person to be capable of consent at the time of signing for a contract to be valid. The Council's argument, therefore, is that even if technically a consumer has "signed away" the right to process their data, the contract is not valid because the consumer is not able to, and/or cannot get the information required to, make an informed choice when signing.
Not just motherboards though.. every USB device, not just the MB... even then, many people have 1 cable per device, so the cost is roughly the same overall. And on a MB, there isn't just one USB port, even most laptops have a couple type A's and one or two type Cs.
I'm with GP. I'd read the study if they did an experiment - randomly assigned milk to people and watched the impact - but there's too little value in these purely observational studies from nutritionists. The field hasn't grown up yet.
The AMA isn't limiting the supply of doctors. The actual limit is in the number of residency program slots funded by the US Federal government. If you actually want to increase the supply of doctors then lobby Congress for higher residency funding.

I think it's more accurate to say CollegeHumor is no longer a going concern.

Less-known features implemented in browsers today
It will make me happy to be able to stop supporting ie11 at some point in the future.

Sadly, it doesn’t appear that ie11 will have an end of life date as it’ll be supported as long as Windows 10 is and Windows 10 appears evergreen.

Hopefully Microsoft will make edge the default browser at some point.
Same. Just followed Michael on youtube.
Not the person you replied to, but how is that relevant to the discussion?
Doesn't typescript enable things like renaming an identifier and all it's usages, without doing it as a global text replace, or worrying that you might have renamed something you shoudldn't? Or is the type checking so "leaky" in a typical project that that kind of luxury (That would be done every day by Java or C# developers etc) isn't really available anyway?

Unless it's a massive overhead to use typescript, autocomplete, renaming etc seems like they would make it worth it on their own.
I am at the point where I don't believe any food or drug research and reporting has practical value outside cases where a linear relation between substance and effect is established and at a high enough dose the effect kills you.

The literature is full of fishing expeditions for premeditated statistically significant results. People seem to choose a belief set which is intuitively appealing to them (bonus points if it can make them feel like they are morally superior) and then write and share volumes which poorly represent weak research as gospel.

This report should say the opposite, more accurate "People with shorter telomeres prefer higher fat milk". There is no evidence presented that would indicate you can influence your telomeres by choosing different milk or that milk choice is actually the culprit.

Biology-substance-effect research and especially reporting is strongly biased towards telling a good story and the motivations driving that bias strongly devalue the results.
Question for the knowledgeable, what "makes" Ubuntu touch and can those components be ported to arch?
Mentioned as an afterthought at the end: IDE support for typescript, the best part about using the language.

Not mentioned: type annotations serve as a form of documentation that gets statically verified. The verification strategy has some cracks, and there's a (fairly small) chance that the documentation will end up misleading. But API documentation for javascript projects generally sucks, and typescript helps to fill a lot of the common gaps.
The article specifically says "in adults", so it's not conflicting.
Mind you both reused many ideas from previous ones. Doom reused Wolfenstein 3D, Quake reused pieces from Doom. (WAD format for example.)

The engines made for the games were indeed intended to be one offs.

Reuse of design and formats does not imply reuse of code.

This is very different from new "universal" engines like Unity, Unreal Engine, Ogre, Frostbite, Dawn Engine or Unigine. Those were designed to be separate from games.
These kind of articles seem to be commonplace and I frankly do not think they provide any productive value. "any" is supposed to be the escape hatch as TypeScript is designed to be incremental. Anyone with a semblance of understanding knows that TypeScript transpiles into regular JavaScript, you don't run TypeScript code in the browser.
I remember forgetting an umbrella in a restaurant in Tokyo, and being chased down in the street by someone returning it. It was pretty amazing.
In the Stackblitz example the Angular client is connecting directly to the SapphireDB database with credentials stored in the app.module.ts.

Could you build a scalable real world, production application this way?

With no in the middle NodeJS web server handing business logic? Handle all the business logic in the Angular client and just CRUD the objects back to SapphireDB? Essentially just Client--> SapphireDB

Or am I missing something here? I see there's a asp.net configuration, which would be Client--> Server--> SapphireDB

Is there a package or support for connecting a NodeJS server to SapphireDB database?

Also, is this production ready?
I can't argue with you there. My previous Fifth Wheel RV had a sinking floor issue that took months for the manufacturer to take seriously. It required me to press the issue many times before they got me an appointment. That was a 60k purchase.
