This sounds like a fake review. They cost 200$ yearly to get the books or 30$ per month for online material. I guess the pricing may be ok for the US but for eastern Europe you can get learning materials for way less

Man, I love libgen. Will be completely lost if it ever shuts down.

I don't see your point. The topic in question is browsers in the App Store. The suggestion was made that these aren't real "browsers" because they use the Safari rendering engine.

If a Telsa with a Honda engine is a car, why isn't Firefox with WebKit (which is what Safari uses) as it's rendering engine a browser?

You could argue it's not "real" Firefox, and I might see where your coming from, but my comment was specifically addressing the claim it's not a browser.
The title in the submission is inaccurate & not actually the title of the article. The missing bit:

> that works in the air, using off-the-shelf components (< $100).
> The attacks that rely on intercepting SMS messages are cumbersome and are really feasible only for high value targets.

Depends on your definition of cumbersome, but it can be done fairly trivially[1] if you know what you’re doing.

The problem with the Monty Hall problem is that it's based on implicit rules. Every explanation I've ever hear never says that no matter what they will never remove the winning choice.
Ok. So it's not google then, it must be AWS or python-aws-google-auth (or my install of it.. which has python-u2flib-host enabled)
I like zoho for the value. A very featured service including unlimited add on domains and catchalls for about $20/y for a user.
But would you still call it a car?

I don't see how this means that Firefox without Gecko isn't a browser. I can see how you might take issue with calling it Firefox, but it's clearly a browser that's in the app store.
Saying "but you allow them" is not the best option, unless you're happy with the result of Apple blocking Reddit instead of allowing you to do it too. (I'm ignoring here the part where Reddit data is user-generated and not reviewed by the Reddit app publishers, which is a completely different situation than Epic and itch.io)
I was attempting to respond to a commenter asking:

>“For the anti-regulation guys, please explain how free market helps in this or similar cases...”

And a further comment asking:

Given the response, it appears as though my attempt at elucidation is not appreciated; this being the case, I will refrain from further explanation.
Eh, I think it's nice to know where ingredients are coming from. Especially with the stuff from their own garden.
I am more convinced by the argument that dark matter is not new matter but just primordial black hole

Have you tried downloading large non-GFW files from China? You want to spend 6 hours updating xcode each time with a 1 in 3 chance of errors and failures?
Eh, I am not so sure. After watching my kid go through Suzuki Method violin through Volume 10 (a Mozart concerto) -- my observation is that it is incredibly important to not practice-in mistakes. The typical Suzuki Method attack is to identify "special spots" (you don't tell a 4-year old that it is a "difficult section") and for those special spots, identify drills that work that spot. The spot is probably 1 or 2 measures long. There are a lot of different technique-builder drills, but one example: In La Folia there is a challenging run, at performance tempo it is very fast, and the timing is a 7-tuple, if I recall. One drill is to play that scale run forwards and backwards, slowly, concentrating on perfect intonation, even timing, and percussive finger landings. Only when that drill is perfect, is that integrated into the piece.

So, no. Don't allow yourself to make mistakes. Take the challenging section, come up with a drill for just that section, and work that section until it is perfect at the same tempo where you can play the rest of the piece. The first rule of time-efficient practice is to spend your time on the sections that need perfecting! Just playing the piece through over-and-over is not a good use of practice time.

Another thing that I found a bit mind-bending, given my own music education, is that our teacher had the philosophy that first you memorize the piece, and only after the piece is completely memorized without intonation and tempo mistakes, is it possible to start really working on perfecting it. That is the point where she really started teaching the piece. Maybe that is a violinist thing where there is a culture of memorization, but it was a bit of a new concept for me.

Another teacher at a violin camp used to say: "After you first succeed, try, try again." Meaning, don't stop after you get it right! After you get it right, you need to play it correctly at least as many times as you played it incorrectly, just to reach net-zero learning. Only then can you play it correctly many more times in order to perfect it.
Failure should be a part of learning and we should learn to embrace failure.

My poster child example of this is tracking falling down when ice skating / skiing.

Not falling is a poor metric of success as you see many people not fall but are also clearly not ice skating. Falling is to some extent a metric of how hard you are pushing yourself.

With instruments, practising mistakes can be costly because establishing muscle memory is habit formation and baking in mistakes is essentially inefficient in your time spent learning.

As my teacher would say "practise like you are up on the stage in front of thousands. Perform like you are alone at home in your pyjamas."

Don't be afraid to make mistakes, but always practise smart. (FWIW I spent the best part of 15+ years NOT practising smart)
I am waiting for the Bequin Trilogy to finish up and I am going to re-read all of them.
I know what you mean. I guess there's just enough novelty to keep me going.

That's something that I think that the devs don't quite get. It's all about intelligent novelty. Not really challenge or advancement, tho that matters some. But really the whole exploring thing, and the encountering of weird new stuff. That's the important thing. Repetition is poison.

The levels need to be better designed fortresses, not just random crap.

And there needs to be truly open-ended and smart generators for monsters.

Maybe a good quest generator too. That might be hard.
This was one of the explanations that I find elucidating as well, but just now I realize that the change from 1/3 as an estimate to 1/2 is exactly the result of absorbing new information, which makes this explanation unsatisfactory.
No, if Apple is taking 30%, they should be doing random bytecode level analysis of apps to make sure there's n hidden malware.
> an analytically bankrupt political thinker but fails to deliver any concrete proof.

Huh?

I've always encountered Hume's politics in the same manner as e.g. Heidegger's; the only real question is whether you can divorce the thinker from his politics. Genuinely, I thought this was a fairly common experience of being introduced to Hume.

Like, was Heidegger a Nazi? Shrug, I guess we can have an academic conversation about that... but in any case we all agree his politics don't exactly help make the case for his philosophy. So with Hume; the introductory conversations are quite similar.

Could you provide a robust defense for Hume's politics? I think the standard consensus is that he was... well, wrong, at least about chattel slavery, and putting it quite mildly.
Well he did talk about it on SNL, as for your other points, I don't remember him talking about Tesla or SpaceX during the skit _yet_.
Tesla Model S Plaid Can't Hit 60 MPH in Under 2 Seconds
I’m always wary of no-name stations not because I think they’re inherently garbage or something, but that few people who really care about a quality station would give them a passing glance so reviews come from people who have no idea what even makes a quality station. I have seen tear downs of Hakko counterfeits that could be confused for the real thing and others that have serious reliability, consistency of safety issues - and these random Chinese direct-to-Amazon ones have the same problems.

Do they probably work most of the time? Sure. But I want the temperature display to mean 500C when it reads 500C and not 450C, and for my iron to be up to temperature just as quick as my FX-888D does without being a fire hazard or potentially let out the magic smoke because some cheap component died.

That said, if anybody is looking for a hot air station don’t buy from Hakko - they’re current models are overpriced and take forever to heat up. Atten (a Chinese brand) sells fantastic stations in the $250 price point that heat faster and have a saner interfaces. Point I’m trying to make here is don’t spend money for a well known brand if you don’t have to, but make sure whatever you buy is equipment you can trust instead and that means having reviews from trusted sources outside of Amazon customers.

Doesn't the indentation syntax of python make it harder to read a progam on a small screen? Also do you have numpy on the calculator?
I am quite lucky and I have a good narrative/fluff focused group I play with. We have been playing Crusade (new Campaign system in W40K 9th ed.) and when there are difficult tactical decisions to be made, we always try to make them in the spirit of the characters and armies we are building up. This makes it more fun than the WAAC games we face in tournaments.
nbterm, euphorie, and even Jupyter don't seem to support shortcuts for duplicating line and moving it up/down. Why is it the case? I can't be the only person using these shortcuts :-)

(Edit: VS Code, Spyder, and PyCharm do support them, but they have their own quirks.)
> large tolerances in sizes to keep costs down

Yeah, that's the main problem with this. If you're buying higher-end stuff with tighter tolerances, just providing a set of measurements can work. There's a whole industry of tailors in India and Hong Kong who sell made-to-measure dress shirts to Westerners over the internet.
The saying I heard in my embedded programming class was:

“There are two hard things in programming: naming things, cache invalidation, and off-by-one-errors.”
I agree. Many of my favorite 40k (and Horus Heresy) books are Dan Abnett. I feel like Aaron Dembski-Bowden is his spiritual successor. Different style, but ADB captures the same grim-darkness vibe that Dan does.
It's a tv show - a valid purpose is that he needs to stretch by 30 seconds before going to commercial. Another purpose is that the audience thinks seeing a goat is funny. Another purpose is to prove the show uses two different goats and doesn't do a switcheroo behind the scenes.

What the Parade article does NOT say is that the first door opened is ALWAYS not the contestant's choice and ALWAYS reveals a goat.
Things have most definitely massively changed in the last few years. They used to have to pretend to be the good guys. They are going to make gobs of money no matter what now and much less pretending is required.
I assume when he mentions the Piano Street forums, he's talking about people like Bernhard. The guy was a legend. Some of his posts are collected here by topic: https://pianoselfteached.wordpress.com/2015/10/29/contents/. But, the information density is rather low, so besides the repertoire suggestions I recommend skipping it. This blog does a great service by distilling all his ideas into a short post.

For a book-length treatment along the same lines, there's Chuan C. Chang's Fundamentals of Piano Practice: http://www.pianopractice.org/. His daughters won state piano competitions using these practice techniques. Beware, though, that there are a few crazy tidbits sprinkled in (for example, his claim that if you practice piano while sick, you might cause brain damage). But most of it is useful.
let's see apple ban reddit and browsers. Then we can talk about this argument.
IMO a percentage which ensures that they don’t monopolize wealth. Their levels of money and resources are so large that it is game changing. Take startups, who do you think funds them? Is it a pension for teachers that’s goes out and gets those precious preferred shares in 5 startups per year or is it the venture arm of gates/below/zuckerberg/dell/..? The wealthy have monopolized wealth. That’s why we end up where one man owns most the farm land in the US.
That would never happen for as long as you can add custom repos which might contain piracy, and I don't think Saurik would be thrilled to outright prevent the addition of certain apt repos (there's already a piracy notice).
Great! Thanks for the links!
I recently started eating raw portabella mushrooms because they are mentioned in "The End of Alzheimer's" as the most potent mushroom species for neuroprotective effects.

I had NO idea they can be cancerous. So thank you.

The book does not mention if they should be cooked or not. I eat them raw for convenience. I'll stay cooking them now, will that help?
It's kinda funny - I played a lot of moria on the Amiga - which had a very nice tile set. Then I spent long, dark hours in angband on Linux, with no tiles (there are and was tiled variants for Linux - I just played the text tiled ones).

Then I tried looking for other rougelikes, and found stone soup... And I find it a bit... Meh.

There's added features/"improved" ux - but I'd prefer to just play moria without tiles.

Might be similar to multi-player angband - a great idea on paper, but it involved a clock/tick - and suddenly the game was completely different, and IMNHO no longer fun.

It's worth noting, when reading the great philosophers of that era and earlier, how static their world was. When Hume was writing, steam engines barely worked and the American Revolution hadn't happened yet. GDP growth was a few percent per century. Most people did not see the world change much in their lifetime.

Probability of an outcome always depends on what pool you're sampling from.

People pretty much always understand what the options are, but still get the analysis wrong. That is what I find interesting. Not the idea that there's some secret mechanism at play that alters the odds of a specific case. Even in that wonky "open the door on the right when possible" world, a contestant that always switches will still win 2/3 of the time.
No, the experts didn't get it wrong because they got hung up on a (fairly ridiculous) misinterpretation of the rules. They got it wrong because they didn't bother doing the math.

And yes, this is deservedly a strong cultural memory, because it's so easy to fall into that error without realizing it. There are some PHDs who got it wrong, and are _still_ making frankly ridiculous arguments about how the rules were vaguely defined, rather than simply admitting that they made basic mathematical errors.

Be careful that you're actually fighting against revisionism, and not falling for revisionism.

I don't think people are confused by this in their initial solutions, but rather this after-the-fact problem modification happens to match the incorrect intuition people have.

The instinct is strong that "I am right" so "I must have just solved the wrong problem", thus "the problem was confusing".

Rather, I think you will find that most people don't expect the host will ever pick a door with a car until after you tell them that switching is better, and rationalization begins.

Additionally, it's on the solver to realize that a problem is under-constrained, and to ask for more constraints. That means that even if you were earnestly confused by the question, you presented a solution to an under-constrained problem. This is like answering "what is the square-root of four" with "it's negative two".
Almost all of the comments here seem to ignore that a huge proportion of online businesses are "mom and pop" stores - especially on sites like eBay and Amazon.

The problem is all of these "benefits" are imaginary right now[1]. You are talking about future possibilities that Java could get due the strong guarantees offered by Java records. That's cool, but I couldn't find in your article (or the JEPs) any such benefit that is available _right now_.

The reality is that Kotlin can build the very same benefits you're talking about as well, in future versions. All the compiler has to do is to restrict these benefits to data classes which only have 'val' members, do not have hidden state and do not use inheritance. In fact, Kotlin is ALREADY enforcing these constraints on a any data class that you annotate with @JvmRecord.

Now, if we're already talking about imaginary future benefits here, Kotlin is also planning to have (immutable by design) value classes when Project Valhalla is ready (you can already have value classes with a single field in Kotlin 1.5).

[1] To be fully honest, Java records themselves are themselves an imaginary feature for the vast majority of Java users until Java 17 comes out, since very few projects would use a non-LTS version. And even then, you can expect years until libraries can start to use them. Kotlin and Lombok data classes can be used right now.
This was the biggest eye opener for me, I used to think having a recovery email address would be enough to rescue my account. It turns out Google goes full on "spy vs spy" and can assume your recovery account is also compromised if it's secret algorithm decrees it so. It was such a relief to start the de Google journey and gain (some) control back.
How they're useful is debatable.

But if you had a hundred people take an IQ test, and divided them into quartiles, you would notice some clear and strong differences between the groups, in a lot of different aspects.

What to do about the differences is an exercise left for the reader.
I haven't seen that in The Netherlands, where I studied. But I did meet some fellow guitar players during my degree :)

Music and programming have a couple of things in common. The most important thing being: the act of creating something. Anyone who's a creator at heart will be interested by many endeavours that allow you to create. For example, I wouldn't be surprised if there's also a disproportionate amount of woodworkers among software engineers (as opposed to among laywers, for example).

The thing is, not every programmer is a programmer because he/she wants to create. There are other aspects to programming that might be interesting to some.

Wonder if the question is more like "did you meet these friends (eg for the first time) through that game, or were they existing friends beforehand"?

Because, if they're existing friends then yeah... you could all just move to a new place to hang out whenever it's needed. But if you generally met each other through the platform, it's more acting like that Community thing (or at least ways. :)

good and evil is a moral concept. Unless you believe in moral realism (which you would have a hard time proving) then yes, we did invent evil. You could probably snag yourself a Nobel Prize if you could prove morality is objective and that animals have an awareness of it.

> why don't we eat dogs and mutes and the mentally handicapped?

This is exactly the kind of point you would have to bite the bullet on if you were to be logically consistent and made arguments for meat eating being ok because you believe animals are intellectually/morally inferior. If you believe a cow is ok to eat because they are not as smart then you would have to be ok (being logically consistent) with eating anything that is not as smart as you such as the mentally handicapped.
They taste better cooked anyways, lots of umami once you get the juices collecting in the gills. It's a very steak-like experience...
> I think the standard consensus is that he was... well, wrong, at least about chattel slavery, and putting it quite mildly.

Is the standard consensus suddenly pro-slavery?

> As much as submission to a petty prince, whose dominions extend not beyond a single city, is more grievous than obedience to a great monarch; so much is domestic slavery more cruel and oppressive than any civil subjection whatsoever. The more the master is removed from us in place and rank, the greater liberty we enjoy; the less are our actions inspected and controled; and the fainter that cruel comparison becomes between our own subjection, and the freedom, and even dominion of another. The remains which are found of domestic slavery, in the AMERICAN colonies, and among some EUROPEAN nations, would never surely create a desire of rendering it more universal. The little humanity, commonly observed in persons, accustomed, from their infancy, to exercise so great authority over their fellow-creatures, and to trample upon human nature, were sufficient alone to disgust us with that unbounded dominion. Nor can a more probable reason be assigned for the severe, I might say, barbarous manners of ancient times, than the practice of domestic slavery; by which every man of rank was rendered a petty tyrant, and educated amidst the flattery, submission, and low debasement of his slaves.

Nowadays it's just assumed that any racist must be an advocate for slavery, or gas chambers, or whatever. Actually reading racists (like Hume) would quickly disabuse one of that notion.
