> Notably, I don't think the corner store (in terms of local services) is going very far.

A lot of services can be automated, and actual retail -- well, once you have sufficiently economical self-driving vehicles and product picking robots, local automated delivery hubs from which products are dispersed to purchasers are a lot more likely than local retail shops -- they'll be "stores" in the sense of places that store things, but customers won't ever have to set foot in one; potentially, no one will go there except to service the robots.
It's not just the result of poor health causing more sleep. Both can be caused by a third factor. Chronic lack of exercise causes people to sleep 9+ hours per day. Put those same people on regular aerobic exercise regimes, and they start sleeping <8 hours.

Also, it's not the most outrageous hypothesis that oversleeping directly causes health problems, too. The body is complicated and poorly understood.

I think you're being unfairly downvoted, mostly because I don't think childish quite conveys the thought. There does seem to be some personality type that likes a lot of flair in their life -- jewelry, stickers, tattoos, busy t-shirts -- and it's always felt a little odd to me, too.

At risk of being reductionist, it is kind of hard to understand why anyone would feel compelled to signal their likes and group-identities to strangers in such an overt way. But I'm probably revealing more about my own personality by saying that than I am theirs.

> Obviously the Apollo computer was far more powerful because it could transform those calculations into landing on the moon and returning

I'm afraid you aren't looking at how the system went together. The landing process was manual. Remember this was 1969, when there were still elevator operators (though they were by then redundant), steam trains in regular service, etc.

You can read the cockpit transcripts of the landing and compare those to the cockpit transcripts of a modern plane. Armstrong was making burn decisions HIMSELF based on what he saw out the window and what Aldrin was choosing HIMSELF to tell him mattered (Armstrong couldn't see the instruments; Aldrin couldn't see out the window. Astonishing teamwork!)

You can also read the source code for that computer program. Essentially it was a slide rule doing coordinate translation and some instrumentation monitoring. But the fact that they landed with the computer non functional tells you its role in the process.

This is hard to appreciate now when we have computer modulated machinery (stability dynamics in your quadcopter, machine control of your brakes etc) and even materials (both in design, manufacture, and even dynamic control of some beams etc). But back then they couldn't do that kind of thing.

I don't understand how people can think scientists don't know this. From the article:

People who reported they slept 6.5 to 7.4 hours had a lower mortality rate than those with shorter or longer sleep. The study, published in the Archives of General Psychiatry in 2002, controlled for 32 health factors, including medications.

Of course controlling for confounders does not magically mean their study is perfect - there are always confounders that are either unknown or unable to be measured, particularly in retrospective/observational studies like this. But it's not nothing.

The "rule of thumb" I was told when I got my first car was to change the oil every 3 months or every 3000 miles, whichever came first. My current vehicle requires oil changes at 7.5k miles or 7.5 months, sooner under "severe" driving, so that rule has definitely changed.
I'm also a bit worried about the privacy implications of this. Especially given that the feature is hidden, and the only two ways to turn it off involve going into about:config, which most people don't even know exists. I wouldn't even know it was doing this if I hadn't read the changelog.

Reading the changelog, it also mentions having local and remote blacklists, but how FF chooses which one to use wasn't clear to me. Local blacklists are not as scary to me for obvious reasons. Being able to use this without the remote blacklist would be nice.

I would really love some additional info on this feature from Mozilla, as well as a more user-friendly way of disabling it.
Actually Android UI is about on par with HTML when it comes to how bad it is. I mean it's basically XML/more XML/Java instead of HTML/CSS/JS.

The XML itself is really static, which forces you to turn to writing code even for the smallest things and then you're writing UI code in Java, in a UI framework of less than ideal quality.

I really don't understand the obsession people have with lawns. Obviously it depends a great deal where you live, but we only mow once or twice a month, and never use fertilizer or irrigation. It's not a perfect monoculture, but so what. There are also lots of flowers; large patches of clovers, dandelions, wild carrots. It benefits the bees.

I'm surprised that many years of people mowing their lawns hasn't evolved plants which don't waste resources growing above the mow height. Perhaps the trait could be selectively bred into them manually.

I fancy that this was to offer a bit of continuity with McCoy's fear of Transporters.

I do agree that it felt out of place, but having given it a bit more thought: The fact that Data was unique (ignoring the as-yet unheard of Lore) sort of makes everyone else's easy acceptance of him slightly odd. The doctor (with intimate knowledge of the fact that we're all just very complicated machines) should have been Data's lone champion against his numerous naysayers.

This could have been written by myself though I'm not sure my IQ is that high but after 4 decades of it I finally found something that clearly and unambiguously works for me and that's mindfullness based cognitive therapy which allows me to take control of my mind and use it as a tool instead of freewheeling negative thoughts on a regular basis. I'm not where I want to be yet but it's very exciting to come to this realization that I can and should control my mind and use it as a tool rather than letting it use me with random unneeded nonsense.

> not report his coworker for playing games on her terminal in her free-time).

I was enlisted in the Marines, MOS as a programmer (4063), 1989 - 1993. I never really programmed, but spend my time as a small computer support guy.

Computer games were officially forbidden, but unofficially tolerated, provided one was discrete. I suspect the same 'don't ask don't tell' policy applied to EUCE at the embassy in question.

Sea story. My team was once directed by our boss, the Major, to 'sweep' the command for 'games' and remove them from computers. This took the better part of two weeks, and was massively unpopular with our peers. 'A Marine On Duty Has No Friends', we repeated to ourselves. We even got into the spirit of things and deleted games from _our_ computers.

Near the end of this evolution I hand-carried some paper into my Major's office. He was, yes, playing a computer game.

He did at least have the grace to look embarrassed.
As a relatively young programmer, I feel that I'm just now exiting this stage of over-abstraction and pursuing a "perfect" design. Perhaps it does plague many older programmers, but to me super object oriented programming was a sort of programming puberty. In high school, I would sit down to write a Java program and figure that I would have to construct this grand architecture where each class reused absolutely no code and fit perfectly in an abstraction hierarchy. Of course, I would quickly lose focus of business logic and write a gazillion SomethingSomethingRepresentation classes and get nowhere. It really hit me when I realized I had a file named Null.java :)

Why did this get down voted?
We disagree. Bitcoin (or other cryptocurrencies) can be safely transferred across large distances more easily than existing currency. It will be a good thing when governments figure out how to regulate it (and I think they will, eventually).
Technically (for those who don't know) they allow multiple currency transactions from one/single account. So you may have 1,000 NZD but it's made out of USD, PHP, AUD etc

That seems odd to you? In the US, most people don't move around that much. This is certainly the case for people with families. I've been in the same house for 8 years and am in the process of moving across town - it's a multi-year process that's extremely personally taxing for my entire family, and we're only moving 2 miles away. I've had 5 jobs in the time I've lived in my current house, and my commute has ranged from 15 minutes (by car) to my current 1.25 hours (by train/bike), depending on the job. A major factor of choosing where I'm going to work is what it will do to my daily commute. I wouldn't consider moving for literally any job, but I wouldn't hesitate to change jobs so I could move.
If you actually read the linked article, it has measurements for how much RAM strings use in Gmail. For the particular case of the article's author, it was about 11MB of strings before the changes he made; it was about 6-7MB of strings afterward. Your mileage will vary depending on what actual mails you have, of course.

Note also that comparing this to the Chrome numbers for overall Gmail memory usage is comparing apples and oranges: Firefox tends to use less memory than Chrome. You'd want to look at about:memory in Firefox to see how much memory that gmail page is likely using.

Many things considered the domain of "functional" languages these days, like typeclasses and higher-kinded types are supported in Scala.

Saying that Scala is 'not really functional' is more or less denying OCaml, F#, SML (in fact, pretty much every language except Haskell, Idris, ...) the status of a functional language.
> is English an abomination?

Yes, yes it is. All natural languages are. They are living, breathing, evolving, organic concepts. They don't have the benefit of being designed and prescribed by an individual or group of individuals like programming languages do.

Multilinguals Have Multiple Personalities
I totally agree if scalability also implies flexibility. I've seen too many cases where a developer will over-engineer something for flexibility when it is never, ever going to be necessary. For example, you will never, ever break a facade into a composite. I've seen a facade that is a wrapper for some external system engineered into a composite of Aggregators, Generators, Executors, etc. but the developer willfully ignored the fact that each of these pieces still have a dependency on the external systems/structures and are never likely to have separate implementations.

At the same time, I've seen OO used in the enterprise as a poor governance mechanism. For example, I've seen AAA unit test "frameworks" that included abstract methods solely to force developers to follow the pattern. But I just jumped right out of that shit by ignoring the instruction to "extend from AAAContextBase".
Also they add a lot of cool features to the updates, especially if you are in the beta program. They just recently added the ability to cap the download rate and allow for downloading while playing a game, both really great features. I'm not anti-DRM, I'm just anti-BAD-DRM (ubisoft comes to mind.) Steam's is a perfectly effective level of DRM for me.

Doing 16 bits at a time instead of 8 isn't going to make Ruby string comparison timing tractable; the timing difference you're looking at is less than a nanosecond per byte, because Ruby's string comparison is essentially just C memcmp. That's below the noise floor even on a LAN.†

Even for signals above the noise floor, ie, higher than the "WAN" threshold Crosby and Wallach worked out, actually performing these attacks is very difficult. Among other things, you'll probably need to goof around with your network drivers and write your own timer code.

Timing attacks against simple string comparison might belong to a small class of attacks that get worse over time, not better, because networks do not get less noisy as fast as computers get faster and shrink the signal.

Unfortunately, not all timing attacks devolve to simple string compare. Look for instance at the Lucky 13 attack on TLS; the distinction being profiled there isn't a single byte comparison, but rather entire invocations of a hash core function.
