Eyerollingly boring advice, but quitting (and deleting!) reddit, twitter, facebook, instagram, and maybe even HN. Anything designed with the explicit goal of occupying your attention. Maybe you've noticed that you haven't managed to read a book in a year. There's a reason for that. And none of those sites can give you knowledge of the depth found in even a particularly crappily-written book.

People get all worried about losing their followers & social connections. The social fabric is very adaptable. It does not require public technological codification. You realistically only need fewer than five good friends to be happy; text them. I can guarantee your followers don't care about you at all. The ones who do will reach out to you in other ways.

Since the OP also listed a fallacy, one in the same vein is the endowment effect - where people value things more simply because they already possess them. Consider the example of you holding a stock priced at $200. Now consider an alternate universe where you didn't own that stock but had $200 cash (plus some extra for transaction costs). Would you buy the stock? If not, you should probably consider selling it. This same thought process can be applied to nearly anything in your life: job, significant other, city in which you live. It's good for keeping you out of traps.
Kubernetes Hike – Migrating from Cloud VM Based Infra to Containers Kubernetes
This is consistent with when I practiced medicine. No matter how hard you try, there’s always some percentage of people who try to take advantage of the system in what would publicly be considered inappropriate. Credit rating and systems such as the ones you described seem to be born out of the need to filter them out.
I didn't refuse support, though, I just told the customer to be less rude.
Sometimes, "I'm probably going to get downvoted for this! But..." is an effective reverse-psychology ploy. Which leads to upvotes for the "unpopular" opinion, that many if not most people actually share.

Other times, the comment really is awful, and genuinely deserves to be downvoted away.
Such as? Anything I wouldn't be inhaling in normal circumstances anyway?
"Initially, the IRA created social media accounts that pretended to be the personal accounts of U.S. persons.[44] By early 2015, the IRA began to create larger social media groups or public social media pages that claimed (falsely) to be affiliated with U.S. political and grassroots organizations. In certain cases, the IRA created accounts that mimicked real U.S. organizations. For example, one IRA-controlled Twitter account, @TEN_GOP, purported to be connected to the Tennessee Republican Party.[45] More commonly, the IRA created accounts in the names of fictitious U.S. organizations and grassroots groups and used these accounts to pose as anti-immigration groups, Tea Party activists, Black Lives Matter protestors, and other U.S. social and political activists."

I don’t see how JS or Python (not so sure about Julia) meaningfully have “dynamic checking for types”. If I have a function ‘def foo(a): return a.startswith(“foo”)’ and I pass an int in, Python doesn’t insert something like ‘if not isinstance(a, str): raise TypeError(“...”)’, partly because Python doesn’t even know that a str is expected; only that the param has a method called startswith(). And fair enough, maybe the type isn’t str in a statically typed language, but a Go-like structurally typed interface with a startswith() method; however, the function also isn’t inserting any meaningful check until the last possible moment when there is nothing left to do but blow up anyway, so I don’t see how this can meaningfully be called “dynamic type checking” when the types are all implicit and maximally abstract and the “check” is only dynamic dispatch. Pretty sure this all applies equally to JS except that a failed dynamic dispatch doesn’t raise an AttributeError but “undefined is not a function” IIRC. Not sure about Julia behavior, but I would guess that it also isn’t going to be sprinkling dynamic checks all over given its aspirations toward performance.
GP may have been objecting to the uniqueness of the trait, not its existence.
Most of the comments in that thread were quite positive. This certainly doesn’t support your point.
The state of the art is Idris, which has a sound, decidable, and extremely powerful type system. Most state of the art mainstream languages like Rust have sound but undecidable type systems.

Many older languages with ad-hoc type systems are unsound, but there are also some older relatively used languages with powerful and sound type systems like Haskell.
Yes, probably. See, for example, the recent battle between McDonald's and a small (relatively) Irish fast food chain called Supermacs, which McDonald's lost.

I think the reason that various authorities advised against masks is political - there simply weren't enough and to direct the supply to clinical workers.
I'm using open plastic bags for avoiding touching the mask itself. I figure there's enough air circulation when I let the bag sit open on a shelf. Granted a paper bag could be better.
Apache Cassandra 4.0 Performance with New Garbage Collectors ZGC and Shenandoah
I agree on the multiple displays point.

However, keep in mind that the 16:9 aspect ratio is better suited for movie watching and somehow the whole industry (except for Apple, and Dell also seems to have picked that up in its latest XPS line) uses that, even in professional settings. 16:10 is way better. 1920x1200 displays do exist and I recommend that. Used ones are a bit more expensive than used 1920x1080.

I'll forever miss the 1400x1050 display that I had on my ThinkPad T42. It was awesome for displaying content vertically (think code and/or documents).
Getting better now but for me I am lucky if I get 2hrs sleep before a workday. I can lay in bed trying to sleep for 12 hours and it's just horrible, brain won't turn off. Pills do help,but either the dosage is too weak or strong enough to make you grogy or moody when you get up,defeating the whole purpose.
The general answer is that you have up and coming companies like SpaceX (and maybe soon Blue Origin) who are pushing hard to reduce costs and be competitive, yet ULA, Boeing, Lockheed (ULA is Boeing and Lockheed actually) keep winning contracts where they offer less, but charge more.

And people are left wondering why? And then people begin to notice that those companies have lots of friends working at the Pentagon, NASA, etc. On the latest bids for the moon landers, a high ranking NASA official had to step down because it appears he leaked information about the bids directly to Boeing when it was clear they were going to lose this big contract[0].

Just look at the Commercial Crew program, where private companies bring astronauts to the ISS for NASA, Boeing is being paid 60% more per seat[1]. You would expect that means they're of higher quality- yet here we are in August 2020 and so far they've failed their no-humans-test-flight, while SpaceX has sent and returned two astronauts already.

The real question in my mind is why this latest contract with the Pentagon went 60% ULA, 40% SpaceX when it could just have easily done the 60-40 split the other way, saving a lot of taxpayer money while maintaining identical redundancy.

Yes, that's what I meant by,

>attackers just dupe many of them into giving them the OTP[1]

I also think there is no way to change the upper limit of the transactions with UPI i.e. its Rs.1,00,000 in most banks/transaction/day. Where as for Debit/Credit card we can set it to even Rs.1000 and other sub-limits as fraud prevention methods via the bank portal.

So if someone has set such limits for Debit/Credit card(everyone should), if the card gets stolen/cloned and if the hacker/thief tries to withdraw it in an ATM even in other side of the world, all they would get is a maximum of Rs.1000 when compared to Rs.1,00,000 via UPI.

Also private companies are not that great in protecting the card details, like remember when Paytm wanted us to enter our card details on the merchant's phone during demonetisation? I disclosed it as security vulnerability[1] to them, they withdrew the PoS feature, told me that it was done due to business decision and not because of any security implications. When News media enquired about my disclosure to its CEO, he told them “This news is false” although the the News site had independently verified my claim[2].

Then again, if the SIM gets jacked or the telecom employee gets compromised all bets are off in India, everything from the identity to savings could be lost.

I thought 1917 was a pretty good representation of what it must have been like. If you remember, it was filmed as if it was a long, continuous shot, and the way the actors would walk from what was a (literal) “hellhole,” to a beautiful, green, field, was jarring.

The thing that struck me, was the quality of these trenches. It’s possible the photos were propaganda, so they only took pictures of the “good” trenches, but every picture you see of allied trenches looked like ditches.

That said, a quick shufti at the casualty figures[0] shows that the absolute worst place to be, during the war, was in a German trench.

Yeah basically. I'm still not entirely clear what the British rules are.
Interesting. Because I find people who are Republican and “conservative” to be quite unattractive.

And “conservative” is such a misnomer for what they are. They don’t want to conserve the environment or conserve civil liberties (freedom from authoritarianism), which would be conservative in a good way. They do want to conserve their privilege, so maybe that’s it.
Except it's not really solved. I've seen the "Streitwert" be inflated to half a million by a well known litigious video game publisher, using moon logic math. No details because the case has been settled.
How I Would Learn Data Science (If I Had to Start Over)
Write down your tasks and ideas. Find a method which works and stick to it.
Not forgetting things is the side benefit; the primary benefit is not worrying about forgetting things.
I think multiple monitors is not a universal thing. I can't concentrate with more than one monitor. Tiling wm works better for me. At every moment I am only focused on one thing.
Mathematics is usually written in something like Haskell syntax (or typically more extreme on the C-Haskell axis). It would not be surprising to use some random symbol to represent a binary operation the author thinks is important. In Haskell, juxtaposition of non-keywords always means application (function application, or type constructor application) or alludes to it in a pattern match. In mathematics the following: f g h x might correspond to any of the following Haskell depending on context:

f (g (h x))
f . g . h . x
x . h . g . f
x . h . g $ f
(f <> g <> h <> x) -- potentially more a type-dependant operation than <>
(f <> g <> h) <%> x -- For some operation <%>

Furthermore Haskell is only indentation sensitive whereas mathematics notation depends on alignment and structure in two dimensions more generally.

Therefore I claim it is silly to talk about mathematics notation as if it were a single standard thing because the reality is that mathematics notation depends on context a lot and varies a huge amount by situation. It is not obvious that the kind of elementary algebraic notation one might encounter in high school is the best fit for programming which tends to deal with totally different things.

I actually think Haskell makes a pretty good language for a small group as it may be better moulded to the problem domain. I recall an example from a mailing list where someone defined:

(.) x f = f x -- for my poor OO brain
infixl 9 (.)

So they could write code like:

prodSize xs ys = xs.length * ys.length

Which seems silly except that the user has adapted the language to fit themselves. Some mathematicians also prefer function application/composition on the right. It makes values pass through functions from left to right the same way that their types are written.
Yes, I see.

I worked in Riyadh for a while. When it came to numbers, since they would generally be writing in Arabic, they'd leave a gap, and then write Western numbers LtoR, before going back to the start of the number and continuing on RtoL in Arabic. That's when it hit me that people who write Arabic push the pencil in the same way that lefties push it in LtoR languages.

Interestingly I didn't see even one adopt the Lefty-hook hand with their right hand. Unfortunately I never noticed anyone there writing Arabic left-handedly. And I watched for it on purpose, because I was genuinely curious about that.

One thing though, is that Arabic letters are formed in a different way than Western letters are. I suppose Western cursive gets close - but cursive is where lefties push the pencil most, and where writing begins to suffer. (Yes, as per other comments, there ARE lefties who can be tidy. But that's like saying there are grandma's out there that can't cook. Of course you can find examples if you look for them.)

Incidentally, I don't do the lefty-hook thing either. But I'm well aware of it since it is part of so many lefty jokes, and I have seen quite a few people who do it.
I want to somehow make the point, which seems to be somewhat out of fashion this season (it was a focus a few years ago), that one of the features of Javascript is that it's universal/isomorphic. And that the average computer (and even smartphone) is very powerful, so if storage is abstracted, the distinction blurs. To me, this means features like browser based tools, which are gradually becoming more user friendly, don't really need a "server," except perhaps as a way to coordinate and for long term storage. Eventually, I think a non technical user should be able to create content that contains open-ended dynamic formatting and distributed data based views, without a round trip to a server. If they want to dip into arbitrary Javascript, maybe just re-using a module, fine. Ultimately, the same code might be used in the browser as that in a development process. Current markdown tools and notebooks are headed in this direction. However, trying to use something like mdx-js shows we are far from reasonable bundle sizes when taking this approach. One-tool-per-application might yield the small bundle sizes and dynamism for this goal. Wondering if Rome has this goal in mind. Thanks!
YSFlight[0] is mostly what you are looking for.

It distributed fully freeware for Linux, macOS & Windows as OpenGL1 (default graphics), OpenGL2 (enhanced graphics) and Direct3D (Win-only) versions.[1]

While its default ("stock") addons are not so eye candy, community created addons are really nice.[2]

List of known community addons available as a spreadsheet[3] (regular updated) hosted on Google Docs. Actually there are 14500 aircrafts, 1049 scenery (maps), 10404 ground objects (ships, cars, characters, buildings, etc.).

There are many videos on YouTube, just search using "YSFlight Movie" and "YSFlight Promo" queries for clips which are show-reels. Here is good "The Beginner's Guide to YSFlight" for latest versions.[4]

JFTR, I started to use YSFlight just after watching "Strangers - A YSFlight Promo Film".[5]

Actually I'm fan of YSFlight & addons contributor[6], so you may AMA about it! ;)

P.S: There are also servers for online gaming (and you also could create & add own just using YSFlight installed!), mostly active on each Friday.[7]

Training a speaker-specific recogniser that improves over a generic recogniser requires a lot more data nowadays. First, generic systems are a lot better and trained on a lot more data nowadays. Second, speaker adaptation worked better for the Gaussian mixture models from the late nineties (don’t know about the eighties) than for neural networks.
Great advice! Addendum: if you feel shitty don't always presume it to be lifestyle related. Get blood tests and confirm.

Neat idea, but I initially thought it might be like dot/graphviz for reading your TF configs and automatically diagramming them.. would be an interesting idea, considering TF has some awareness of dependencies (though maybe not app/data flow)
>Cardiac arrest is not 50/50, it's more like 70/30. You're much more likely to have to perform CPR on a man (unless you're primarily surrounded by very old people, I suppose).

From: Sex‐Based Disparities in Incidence, Treatment, and Outcomes of Cardiac Arrest in the United States, 2003–2012

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4937290/

"Of the 1,436,052 discharge records analyzed from patients who were transported alive to the emergency department of acute‐care hospitals with a cardiac arrest between 2003 and 2012, 45.4% (n=651 745) were females."

>Women are more likely to not receive proper CPR though, likely because bystanders are afraid to be accused of improper conduct and/or afraid to hurt them (as women are generally significantly older than men when they get their first cardiac arrest).

This is an EXCELLENT observation and correct, based on my experience running countless Code Blues over 38 years of practice as an in-hospital (neurosurgical) anesthesiologist.

Women's bone density is less than that of men's, so much so that just leaning on the chest of an elderly woman can fracture ribs.

Successful CPR (rare, but it does happen) in such cases almost always results in numerous rib fractures.

>Also, in general: before you start CPR, remove their clothes from the upper body. There's a chance they may suffer from ventricular fibrillation which can be solved with an AED. If you start CPR without having removed their (upper body) clothes, you can't use the AED without a long pause - at which point you've lost a lot of time.

I demur. The time wasted removing upper body clothing before beginning CPR lessens the chance of successful CPR (discharge from the hospital without brain damage being the criterion).

Indeed, they may be in vfib, but it is unlikely, in an out-of-hospital setting, that an AED will be brought to the scene before the person dies.
Now we can use this new AI to train another AI that can defeat it. And so continues the great cat vs mouse chase.

I don't think this is a problem that is ever going to be solved. Deep fakes will become more and more popular, and harder to detect.
>Brave New World is a utopian novel desperately trying to appear dystopic. With just a few small changes, to account for the existence of automation/robots/computers, the darker aspects (e.g. the population of deltas) stop being plausible within the universe.

Others commented on the 'utopia' part, I'll just note that your observation was accounted for.

Already in the novel it was noted that reducing working hours was trivial, well within the capacity of the powers that be. It wasn't done because deltas did not want it. The speaker might have been biased on that last part* , but should be well-informed on the first given his high-ranking position.

* It could be that the speaker did not asses delta desires correctly, or that the actual reason involved social stability.
- weekly 10% self-directed and dedicated research time
- additional research time with sign-off from a lead

These are both really great ideas, and have the advantage that they work for people who prefer to work through new stuff in private. Sometimes, organizations seem determined to combine learning/exploratory stuff with team-building exercises (A lot of Hackathon-type end up in this bucket, for instance), and to my mind that can end up severely limiting the amount of quiet experimentation that happens.
Have you tried mindfulness?
Getting an application to the state where you can use feature flags for any new functionality is a massive and continuous effort. Any change in data structures or APIs become a huge pain.

Whether this is worth it, depends a lot on the particulars of your apps.

And where do you test if your feature flags work correctly with production data and environment if not staging? Yes yes, you might have tested in on your development environment, but if testing on staging doesn’t work because the environments are too different, testing on localdev or CI is even worse.
There's a thing called trademarks, and the case is indeed different for those. But even in that case, one would have to file some sort of dispute; you don't necessarily get to use the name everywhere forever, no questions asked.
Yeah, i miss the days of 4:3 displays on laptops. This reminds me one of my favorite things to do with 2x 1080p monitors is orient one of them vertically. It works great for documents and code.
> Information is not property

I too have phantom nostalgia and longing for anarchist ideals, but that statement relates to life about as much as saying that matter and goods are not property because all molecules of a substance are identical and thus you could make the same things yourself. ‘You could, but you didn't’, as they say.

> you should release all code as free software

In exchange for your complete disregard for the value of the author's time and effort? Dubious arrangement.

> rather than using state legislation to coerce people to not reproduce and alter information they know

Perhaps that's actually somewhat similar to when state legislation says you shouldn't snag matter just because it's lying around? You know, the ‘natural’ and primordial right of capitalist bros that somehow requires police force and surveillance for it to be implemented.

My point was that Rust's compile-time machinery and conventions allow you to avoid using referencing counting smart pointers like `Rc` in almost all cases. What you call trivial patterns of allocation is in fact the prevailing type of allocation in Rust.
That's more or less what I do.

The other problem lefties face, that impacts writing clarity, is that when writing in a school binder, those rings are exactly where your wrist needs to be pretty much half the time.

Of course the answer is to write on paper outside the binder, and then turning the paper to a good angle works well enough. But that doesn't help when it comes to coil books, etc, which doesn't impact righties, but does impact lefties.
I mean, that’s the last text you sent. There was clearly other text you sent that was baseless speculation. There was history there you’ve not shown. Pretending as if this is the only text that mattered is dishonest.

I can see why they “banned” if you can’t even be honest to third parties.
