There is beauty to the simple goal of "I want to lift x amount one day." Instead of worrying yourself to death over whether you are "functional" or not. I've seen so many regulars at my gym over the years still doing the same stuff, still looking the same, still lifting the same, still doing kettlebell goblet squats and farmers walks and step-ups and whatever else have you.

I realize what an elitist knob this makes me sound like but I decry all of this because I've been there before and made the same mistakes. I like your example because you mention a specific issue you had that you then went on to fix. I know of many who train this way when they have no ailments whatsoever.
I would just be very honest with what happened. My personal opinion is that every experience, and this includes job gaps for any reasons, can shape your personnality for the best. If the guy in front of you don't see what's positive in there, then, it migth be a sign that you should look somewhere else.
This job gap probably had a huge positive influance on your life, since you now feel healthy, refreshed and passionate.
I personaly had a burnout and had to stop working for a couple of months. When I came back to work, my employer tried to convince me to leave the company. But when he realized I wouldn't, he finally abendoned the idea. That year, I surpassed all my goals!
Good luck!
> If, you want different records to have common fields because they are conceptually related, you probably want to use type classes.

I'm not a fan of ad-hoc typeclasses. I know that various approaches in modern Haskell advocate for them, but I think that ad-hoc typeclasses are a smell for overuse of typeclasses when plain-old data types should suffice.

I am a very big proponent of demanding that typeclasses have associated laws. Otherwise you can descend into the same hierarchy mess that plagues statically-typed class-based languages. And sometimes you just want to have different fields be named the same thing without an underlying profound relationship between the two.
The big problem with Electron isn't that it forces you to keep up with Chrome, although that's important too, but rather that it links Node.js with content-controlled Javascript, so that DOM corruption vulnerabilities can be leveraged for RCE, even in the absence of a Chrome vulnerability. Most Electron RCEs that you've read about had nothing to do with Chromium.

There's a whole process for evaluating and auditing Electron applications, which is harder to do than auditing (for instance) a native mobile application or, probably, even a native desktop application.

Does that apply to trademark infringement?
> I don't agree with your definition of simplicity.

You mean where I explicitly said that "simple" didn't mean anything, so we should talk about what we mean more concretely?

> 1. I can keep most of the language in my head and I don't hit productivity pauses where I have to look something up.

The core language is currently small, but every language grows with time: even C with its slow-moving, change-averse standards body has grown over the years.

> 2. There is usually only one way to do things and I don't have to spend time deciding on the right way.

Go supports functional programming and object-oriented programming, so pretty much anything you want to do has at least two ways to do it--it sounds like you just aren't familiar with the various ways.

The problem with having more than one way to do things isn't usually choosing which to use, by the way: the problem is when people use one of the many ways differently within the same codebase and it doesn't play nicely with the way things are done in the codebase.

This isn't really a criticism of Go, however: I can't think of a language that actually delivers on there being one right way to do things (most don't even make that promise--Python makes the promise but certainly doesn't deliver on it).
this is a good question. I've always wondered why libertarianism wasn't more popular. Democrats wants freedom in personal lives. and Rebuplicans favor free business. Libertarianism combines both of those nicely.
Right. I had understood that statement to mean that people were reporting bad data between those three results that were contradictory. That there was an issue on the user end, too. But it's vague enough that it could just mean that the app bug was causing that inconsistency.
Can you actually point to any ignorance of the subject? No you cannot. I never said full-auto was not regulated. You lack basic reading comprehension skills.

It's not hard to see from the first couple of chapters why DEC PHIGS and PEX were routed by GL. I mean, the main factor was that Jim Clark took a VLSI design class from Carver Mead and Lynn Conway, doing a 3-D accelerator, and founded SGI with it in 1982: https://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/Impact/FundingaRevol...

But really, Fortran for examples? In a 1989 book?
I tend to code exactly this way - vi in one terminal, and <up-arrow><enter> in another terminal (tmux, actually) to test it. I will definitely be trying this out since it would save me a lot of tapping and clicking when I'm experimenting or refactoring.

In that case how far are we from being able to supply all US electric needs with solar ?

I think I've heard that with current solar cells you could produce that much power with a 100 mile x 100 mile installation in a sunny location.

If battery storage and power transmission are solved problems, are the obstacles now only economic ?

Interesting theory. I'd like to add that the higher success rate that occurs when you focus on one point may not be connected to weirdness.

People have limited headspace and attention spans. Whether your ideas are "weird" or not, if you try to push too many, you lower the success rate of all of them.

That's why many brands / marketers choose one or two key characteristics or selling points. More, and the brand is diluted / the audience gets confused.

Holy cow, I've never tried any of these types of services before but I'm blown away! I just signed up for the free version to give Fortnite a go. I've played it a tonne on mobile, but never PC because my 2012 Macbook Pro could only pump out about 5 FPS at the lowest graphics settings.

5 minutes of setup and I'm playing on amazing-looking (to me) settings and it seemed damn fast FPS (to me): looks so good and played great! The input lag was not noticeable (again, to me - not a gamer... I died in Pleasant Park trying to figure out how to build a cone).

I think I might be their core audience for this, and am extremely tempted to sign up for $5 a month. My GPU sucks, hard drive is always "nearly full" so keeping games around isn't an option. For a casual like me this seems... futuristic!
Eating left over for lunch at work is usually not a good experience as the only way to heat food is microwave, unless the food you bring is best reheated with one, or just have a cold salad or sandwich. As an aside, learn the best method to reheat food for each type of meal. Steak, spaghetti, fish, bread all have the best way to make it as enjoyable as possible.
Did you try to change that interval to a much larger time?
I like the use of noweb. Very slick.

I'll actually even say, that if you're Facebook or Netflix, you still shouldn't use Go, because you can write your own tools that solve your problems.
I think the author's take on this is a bit heavy with hyperbole, but there's no doubt Iowa was a mess last night.

My son was there working as volunteer, and so was his ex-girlfriend, who's still a close family friend. I was chatting with them both throughout the evening and into the wee hours this morning.

They worked different locations in the Des Moines metro area and the results they reported to me were pretty close to the same in both.

I'll say this about it, it's hard to imagine that less than 4500 calls to a server over the course of an hour or two would "crash" it, or even ten times that number. And that I think an SQL db is a poor choice for an app like that.

CouchDB, or most any open source "nosql" db, would've been a better choice and, really, so would a dead simple flat file db to store the data for each precinct in and those are both very easy to build for something as simple as this.

And they didn't even need an "app" per se. All they needed was a password protected web page with a dead simple form.

What happened makes it a bit difficult to avoid pondering if the delays weren't deliberate. Whatever the case may be, the DNC is who ended up taking it on the chin.
Well said, and I just want to add some detail about how square-rigged ships are able to sail close-hauled:

They typically (or maybe always?) have "staysails", which run fore-and-aft between the masts, which works mostly like the main triangular sail you think of with a simple sailboat (with the exception that, as far as I know, these staysails aren't on a boom that can change its angle relative to the ship). These are able to take the wind at an angle but still generate forward thrust.

The "yards", the sections that hold the square sails perpendicular to the ship, are also able to rotate between perpendicular and nearly-parallel to the ship, which lets them take advantage of a wide range of wind directions.

(I'm also not much of a sailor, I've just sailed some tiny single-sail boats, but I've learned a lot while reading through the Aubrey-Maturin series and from playing the game Naval Action)
AV1 2019: A Year in Review
This is a fantastic service. I signed up to the beta just a few weeks ago and love it. The fact that it just uses my Steam account (or my son's Epic account) makes it an easy winner over alternatives.

The performance, in my experience, has been fantastic. Suddenly on my MBP I can play games that were only previously on my Windows box with a beefy GPU. Better still the fans stay at a minimal level -- on this machine it's barely more than streaming a video. I have a dislike for hearing the GPU fan grinding and this is a relief.

On the flip side if you aren't really close to one of their data centers, it isn't a great experience for twitch FPS games. I tried pubg and it...worked, but I fell from competitive to pretty mediocre given that everyone else had a couple of frames head start.

Still, it's an instant sign up for me. Even for games that I can play locally on my laptops, like Civ 6, doing so with minimal local power suckage, heat and fan grind makes it worth it. I'm outsourcing those to an nvidia datacenter, of course, but better than than in my lap. My experience with this has been much better than even Steam in-house streaming (where I used that big beefy Windows box with a high-end GPU in another room to play from my MBP).

And for those who questioned how the process works, for a steam game it kicks you into a virtualized version of steam that you log into. On first play you "install" the game but they seem to have images for everything so it's instant. Then you play in a virtualized session. It's very well done.
The IP is pretty overrated. I have one and use it really often, but it has serious limitations that fad blogs just kind of ignore. Like, it's not really a huge time saver because it's low pressure and takes so long to come to pressure anyway. Also, pressure cooked meat is very often gross and spongy, so you should use it as a slow cooker in those situations.

It's great for rice, beans, sauce & soup bases. Plus, it doesn't heat up the house in the summer. But I think it's limitations make it a poor suggestion for a novice cook.

Yeah so I was vaguely wondering about some sort of double indirection; the structure keeps track of "this is a pointer I've handed out", those pointers point into that, which then points into the main structure.

I have no idea if this actually a good idea, seems like you get rid of a lot of the cache locality advantages.

We have trouble explaining it at a lay level, but we can solve the entire time-varying (for unsteady cases) 3d flow field around a wing to very high accuracy. Lift seems like it should be intuitive because we've experienced the force of wind and see birds flying, but therein lies the rub. Straightforward results arise from a series of complex, interacting phenomena.

Another example might be explaining why sticky tape is sticky.
If you really want to learn more than from a single podcast, read slowly about:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_C...

and check what were the functions before, then and after of the people who wrote the documents or were involved and also what they wrote. Especially a document:

"Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New Century," September 2000.

With the famous quote:

"Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor."

And exactly a year later, 9/11, conveniently for the writers, happened.

If I remember correctly everything was on their internet site, available even before 9/11 for everybody to read and think about it. Just checked: the Internet Archive has a first capture from one month after 9/11. Still, the document was made before.
That's primary hydropower, where there is an external water source constantly carrying organic material into the reservoir. A closed pumped hydro system could have much less organic input (and possibly could exploit the pumping to keep the water oxygenated, so methane would not be produced.)
Depends. Newton’s third law is scientific enough to explain what’s going on. Bernoulli and Navier-Stokes and all the hard equations are needed when you need to optimize the system or understand the micro scale, but they’ll simplify into conservation of energy or momentum in the macro limit.

Disclaimer: it's been a long time since I coded in Java, and I have no knowledge of this new record feature, but coming from clojure I would guess the answers to be:

1. You can't change a record after the fact because if you do it's no longer reliable, it's been tampered with :)

2. Yes, existing records only. You can always create a new record pointing to the old or any other record.

3. Hope not, would make it unpractical to handle verbose facts.

I guess clojure really twisted my mind ;)

Actually we didn't update the reference to Cassandra in the article -- the read states workload is now on Scylla too, as of last week. ;)

We'll be writing up a blog post on our migration with Scylla at some point in the next few months, but we've been super happy with it. I replaced our TokuMX cluster with it and it's faster, more reliable, _and_ cheaper (including the support contract). Pretty great for us.
Perhaps this:

>In inverted flight, the curved wing surface becomes the bottom surface, and according to Bernoulli’s theorem, it then generates reduced pressure below the wing. That lower pressure, added to the force of gravity, should have the overall effect of pulling the plane downward rather than holding it up.

This is not what Bournoulli's theorem states. Bournoulli's theorem doesn't say anything as to why fluid flows the way it flows. It just says for a fluid in a steady state flow, increases in speed are associated in decreased pressure. Hence the principle suggests, if you find a plane is able to fly steady upside down, then expect to find the air flowing faster over the wing on the opposite side of gravity under those conditions - just likewise when a plane is normally flying right side up.

Again why fluid flows the way it does around airfoils is separate question -and really the crux of the mystery here. Answers to this is probably hidden in the solutions to the Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navier%E2%80%93Stokes_existenc...
I think the common-man conception of AI is really flawed. Consider that autopilot -- clearly a form of AI -- was invented in 1914. AI is far older than computers and corporations are a clear and excellent example. It's a slippery slope -- and I think it is worth sliding all the way down. Once we realize how completely pervasive AI is, I think we have a much better understanding of how to govern it in the future.

Personally, I find cybernetics to have a much stronger philosophical basis than AI; I particularly like how Norbert Weiner described how cybernetic feedback loops can lower local entropy.

> I don't enjoy being around this person" is more than reason enough to stop associating with someone

So I should be able refuse to sell bread to someone with green hair, right? Or if they have a specific skin deformation.

Now, what if all shops in an area refuse to sell food to people with these characteristics?

> let alone more critical reasons such as "I don't want to be around someone who wants to deprive me of my rights as a person"

In that case I will be able to pretty much ban anyone I want as the vast majority of people think that certain victimless crimes should be illegal (and thus they deprive me of my rights as a person), right?
>What I disagree on is who should decide what hate speech is.

It is a risky business, but so are many others: food and drug regulation, road regulation, flight regulation etc. - the case must be made why freedom of speech is such a special right as opposed to any other action, such as selling food, driving cars, or building planes.

>Taking away the right for someone to speak their mind is too much power for one individual or group

We already do this globally, with copyright law, or less controversially, laws against threats, assault and child pornography. This at least shows that there is some scope, and unless that scope is a dogma, it should be open for questioning - either in broadening or narrowing.
I know--one of those guys on that physics show, Johnny ?last-name could be the "Adult <baby>"--the adult <baby> is now a computer scientist, creating an AGI bootstrapped on his own wetware like I am pretending to be. The cartoon turns into reality and ?last-name is the grown <baby> for no apparent reason. His wife could run super computers. She would have to have the same name has his mother.

Part of the problem of having such super human intelligence is that it makes you so impatient, even without ADHD, for others to catch up. Also to realize that your audience is crickets.

depends on which service you are using, if you are looking for revenue you can use a simple excel dashboard, you can also use tableau is you have a license for it.

For usage it would depend on what you are using as a backend infrastructure, if you are using AWS dashboards are inbuilt.

As far as Datalake is concerned if you are using AWS Redshift you can buy a table license and connect your database with it to develop a dashboard.

There are really so many choices available that talking about them all is just impossible (or so i think).
That would mean they are actually not tracking you (via that method at least) in private mode. I was just about to investigate how or if they were tracking in porn mode.
