Rails is somewhat complex, but it's a weird kind of complexity. In some ways it is like React: it's almost easier if you learn it first, before you know what it's doing under the hood, so you're not asking yourself "how" all the time.

The good thing about Rails is it's very well-documented, and if you just work your way through the entire Rails guide or the Rails Tutorial, by the end it all clicks together and makes a lot of sense, and from there on it becomes really easy.
> Intuitively, I'd expect that NGINX serving static content would tend to scale fairly linearly up to the saturation point, and then get rapidly bad

That was essentially what I saw. I was serving very minimal dynamic content that had some random sleeps. I even reached out to the NGINX mailing list and got a similar response about how they wouldn't expect much measurable difference. However, I still think it would be possible to construct a better test.
1. I don't think you understand the word "censorship". OP of the comment doesn't have the power for it, and Greenwald certainly wasn't censored if everyone is able to read his opinions spearately
2. You don't know that the person didn't read it. That's an unprovable assumption.
3. OP's explaining why the article isn't worth running. This really doesn't amount to a real character attack unless you're new to the internet...
Yeah the software ergonomics is the challenging part. It's all tradeoffs. In the case of geopandas, would you rather:

a) have the software (silently) transform your data, making decisions on your behalf about which are the source and destination projections, datum transforms, raster resampling, line densification, and precision.

PRO: easy, CON: potential poor performance, accuracy.

b) fail because the coordinate references systems don't match.

PRO: logical, type-safe, CON: Comparing coordinate systems is not a solved problem. You can have two identical (or practically identical) systems that are not equal by their representation or your programming language semantics.

c) try to naively attempt the spatial analysis in 2D cartesian space.

PRO: does what it says, leaves the responsibility to the programmer. CON: does what it says, leaves the responsibility to the programmer.

I've seen justification for all three approaches but no obvious solution. I tend to go with c) ala geopandas since ultimately the responsibility lies with the person building the system.

> If it's unacceptable socially to not have a family, you'll have one. If it's unacceptable for women to work and compete with men for wealth and power, men will make enough to support their entire families, allowing at least one parent to always be there to raise children properly, instead of outsourcing that to strangers -- same for elderly care.

Is it not socially unacceptable for men to abuse their wives? Yet it still happens. So I don’t know what you’re going on about atomism and whatnot, but I’m happy my sisters and my daughters will have the ability to stand on their own.

And if women’s freedom causes the problem of parents not having enough time to spend with children, then that has something to do with minimum wage and overtime/maximum hours at work laws than it does women’s freedom.
My guess is a middleman like Apple isn't necessarily a problem if the content were DRM free. It's the sword dangling overhead which may invalidate ones license without reimbursement, or limit access arbitrarily that is burdensome.

I wouldn't recommend Rails as front-end only. It's fine as a full-stack framework, and rather nice for quickly building out a back-end API, but not really compelling if you're only using the front-end side of things IMO.

That said, I would argue that Ruby is a very similar but nicer scripting language than Python (particularly for general utility / glue scripts), so if you enjoy scripting in Python you would probably find Ruby easy to pick up and potentially a nice compliment to what you already know.
Yes, definitely. It's just that much of the discussion about controls and checks is often framed in the language of certainty.
nothing wrong with that, seems to have done very well for himself.
Depends on what you're eating... if you're on a keto (fast mimicking) macro level intake, you'll reach autophagy a bit faster. Heavy exercise/resistance/lifting can also help speed this up, which can also lend to timing of exercise and food intake.
This was very evident with Altered Carbon as well. First season felt like it had a budget on par with the best blockbusters. Second season had the budget of some cut rate 90s SciFi show on a third tier cable network.
I sure am glad my fantastic public high school teachers didn't have your attitude. They sacrificed so much for so little, and I'll tell you what, they made a word of difference in at least one life: mine. From what I've learned of teachers, that's more than enough for them.

Shame.

I discovered this in my late teens and thought it was super cool and made me want to understand more about repeating decimals. After playing around for a bit I realized you could form arbitrary repeating decimals by dividing by 9, 99, 999 etc. So for example, 1/7 = 142857/999999. Or written another way, 999999/7=142857.

I’ve seen plenty of families where the woman / daughter in law is seen as the essential maid rather than essential heart, whatever that means.
My parents, both with master’s degrees, worked at least eight hours every day teaching, grading assignments, and then preparing for the following day. I would guess about ten hours on average, seeing as I was mostly left alone as a child while my parents worked over the kitchen table. Yes, they don’t teach during the summer. Their pay reflects that. I won’t even touch on personal expenditures for supplies. Grifters?! My lord. Teachers are criminally underpaid, highly educated adults who shape society’s future while fighting its current failures. All while being inexplicably hated and ridiculed by students, parents, and I guess HN.

I have not looked at the links, but aren't there people who use Bode plots to estimate direction-of-causality, given time-series data?

"Secure boot" is a perfectly fine and desirable thing. It makes evil maid attacks more difficult and has many other benefits.

The problem is that the current crop of "secure boot" implementations focuses squarely on the average consumer that wants to delegate trust to the manufacturer, and, at best, only pays lip service to users who want to control their own hardware (see: Pixel devices and the like with closed bootloaders/TrustZone but an escape hatch for the OS) or nothing at worst.

Almost every "secure boot" CPU in modern smartphones and such is already user-control-friendly, it's just that they aren't being shipped that way. They get locked down at the factory. The CPU architecture has little to do with any of this.

If you want an example of what an unlocked secure boot device is, look at the Nvidia Tegra devkits. Those come without the public key fuses blown. You can burn in your own public key and then they will only ever run firmware you signed, forever.

ARM devices without secure boot, or with user-control-assertable secure boot exist. And RISC-V devices locked down at the factory will exist.
I believe that gives you the result starting from Fibonacci, but not that any starting pair of numbers eventually lands at the golden ratio.
FWIW I require all new hires to work through the Rails Tutorial in their first week. Nobody needs the entire tutorial, but everyone needs parts of it, and it's impossible to know what parts in advance. It's a fairly fun and easy way to get an exhaustive tour of the framework, and afterwards people are pretty much fully productive.

I wish there was an equally good Ruby language tutorial, as my experience is that it's a bit harder to master Ruby than it is to master Rails, but mastering the language is far more valuable.

The problem with this kind of "wide appeal" demographic-based analysis used by content producers is that it ignores specialisation.

Famously, MTV stopped showing music videos years ago. They did a bunch of analysis to see what the target demo for a music channel is, what that demographic wants to see in general, and started playing that.

But, obviously, if I turn on the MUSIC TV channel, I expect to see music.

I'm the "target demo" for Science Fiction. That doesn't mean I want to see SciFi when I turn on the evening news. It doesn't mean that I never want to see a period drama, or a nature documentary.

But based on a purely statistical analysis, I should only be shown Science Fiction forever and ever, on every channel, because that's my favourite content category.

Similarly, the number #1 most popular content for the general public is sports for men and celebrity gossip for women.

Does this mean that every streaming service, TV channel, and content producer should create nothing else other than Soccer, Football, Dancing with the Stars, and Big Brother Celebrity?

It seems producers think so. They really do, and NetFlix is going down that path as fast as their statistics will carry them...

Imo the core mistake is that it replaced the top row of buttons. Those media keys are super useful very frequently. Having to tap the expand button and wait for an animation makes them much less useful. They had plenty of space to leave the old row in and make the touchbar for application specific buttons.
Statistically not though. That's just the news making you feel that way.

The US has one of the lowest case fatality rates in the world for COVID-19[1]. As far as I'm aware, none of those other things you mention have increased dramatically under the current admin, except as they relate to COVID and lockdowns, which the entire world is unfortunately experiencing, not just the USA. It is certainly strange to pin coronavirus side-effects on the POTUS when you look at how the rest of the world is faring.

The US also remains one of the least likely countries on earth where you will lose a loved one to a healthcare disaster (even before the ACA) – quality of care in America is one of the highest in the world.

> Sort of. The BCM2835 (Pi 1) was originally designed as a set top box SoC and was used in devices like the 1st gen Roku boxes. The BCM2836 (Pi 2), BCM2837 (Pi 3) and BCM2837B0 (Pi 3+) were designed for and only used by Pi boards. The BCM2711 was designed for and only used by the Pi 4 but it is closely related to a new BCM7211 which is for set top box usage.

Blogs have always got me good leads from 2nd degree network.

With regards to coffee, you can try cold brewing coffee, it's much smoother (less bitter and less acidic), which might allow you to drink it without sugar and milk. There are commercially available cold brew coffees that have no added sugar and milk as well, in case you want to try the taste before making it at home.
As someone who absolutely needed sugar in coffee before I considered it drinkable, I can tell you that you can wean yourself off it. It took me several months before I stopped noticing its absence but nowadays I don’t miss it. I still use milk though!

Have you tried paying higher than the market rate ( like what you would pay a travelling nurse/CNA) instead of signing bonuses? CNAs make less than amazon warehouse workers in my area. If I'm a nurse, it's only natural I'm going to seek a less demanding patient population asap unless there is a significant incentive not to do that, especially given that every hospital in the country is hiring nurses at all times.
It's not just journalists, it's the entire class of "thoughtleaders" and such in the tri-state area.
Also, it takes time for the chemical reactions in your body to tell you you are full, so if you eat a little bit, and stop for 15 min, you might very well find that you are full.

However, once the taste buds are firing, it’s pretty hard to stop eating mid meal. One way is to take a little bit of food away from all the other food, eat it, and then force yourself to sit there while your blood sugar catches up to tell you if you still need more.

>"Glenn was censored from publishing in his own publication!"

This is neither a question or a quote from what I said.
There's a maximum amount of punishment you want to mete out to convicts. Otherwise everything would carry a penalty worse than death.

So there's a trade-off between handing out more of that punishment in fines to be paid to the victim or in economically inefficient activities like prison time.

As a related matter, I think corporal punishment deserves more consideration. Mostly because it's cheaper to administer than prison, and also avoids forcible socializing convicts only with each other as happens in prison.

(Of course, it's a punishment with a certain cruelty. Alas violence and injury are a common enough sight in overcrowded prisons, too.)

The late Richard W. Stevens wrote the classic texts. TCP/IP illustrated and Unix Network Programming.

I have old editions and haven't seen recent ones. There's murmourings that the updated editions are not as good, the writers emplyed to updated them don't have Steven's talents, can't confirm.

Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment by the same author is also worthwhile IMHO.

And absolutely, use the books to write your own webserver (or irc client or ...) and your own TCP/IP stack if you can find the time and motiviation you won't regret it. It's liberating to do it half-assed, doesn't have to be good at all. Improve it as much as you care to.

"Would really like to see this compared to another group with a similar level of calorie restriction but without the intermittent fasting."

I think the answer to your question is total time inflamed (for lack of a better term).

Eating and digesting appear to be an interrupt for many other processes, for obvious reasons. You divert a lot of resources and produce a lot of inflammation and depress a lot of immunity.

Do you want to be in that state for 14 hours per day or for 6 hours per day ?

My bro-science intuition tells me that, all else being equal, consuming the same number of calories in a tighter window is much less expensive.
