A brisk walk is 4 miles per hour and an average walk is 3 miles per hour. If you do the race at a slow walk, 2 miles per hour, you'll do the 100 miles in much less than the allotted 60 hours.

Which means that the elevation and sleep deprivation must really take their toll. Those are the limiting factors, not running speed.

In a sham trial, guilt is a foregone conclusion.

In addition to Hans Fritzsche, Franz von Papen, and Hjalmar Schacht in Nuremberg, over 1,000 Japanese defendants were acquitted of war crimes in postwar trials.

Sure, Göring was sentenced to death by hanging, but he conspired to steal Jewish property after Kristallnacht and there was clear evidence he was complicit in the attempted extermination of the Hungarian Jews. So, yeah, didn't go well for him.

Contrast that though with the higher ranking Dönitz, effectively head of state. His defense actually worked fairly well, and he received a lighter sentence.

On charges that he sunk neutral vessels, his defense countered that the US had done the same, so he received no additional jail time.

On charges that he waged unrestricted warfare against British merchants, he received a "not guilty" as his defense argued that the merchants had all supported the war effort.

He claimed that he didn't know anything about the policy in the camps, since he was only involved with naval matters. He was the final head of a genocidal state, and received just a 10 year sentence, lighter than some murderers get.

EDIT: I think you're right that there are mitigating factors when people are acting under orders (especially given the behavior in question falls well short of genocide), but I don't think the Nuremberg trials were a sham trial.
I think this "addition" of complexities needs to be treated as totally new course each time such addition is made.

Otherwise previous finishers (total respect to them of course) would claim to do something that new participants cannot using the identical name of event/race. Which in fact is totally different race by now.

Marathon is not adding extra 10km every year to compensate for too many finishers.
Considering that $100 easily buys you an 8GB so-dimm or an 80 GB intel m.2 ssd at retail prices, I think it is pretty steep for an increase of 2GB of ram and 32GB [ed: whops, 64GB, but still] of storage...

Yes, and I think that's the problem nowadays with internet learning. We go through a lot of resources, picking up things here and there. And we don't take the necessary time to write things down and solve exercises.

With the lambda calculus, I think you eventually need to write terms and perform the reductions. A fun thing to do is to play with fixed point combinators. It's really not difficult, just take a little patience and discipline.

I wouldn't say drop in the bucket. Doing the math, from what I can piece together: 23 almonds in an ounce, 16 ounces in a pound, 1.1 gallons per almond.

23 * 16 * 1.1 = 404 gallons per pound of almonds. It certainly doesn't rise to the level of meat, but it's still a lot. Almonds alone also supposedly account for 10% of all of California's water use.
It gets you thinking, how much of our lifestyle is about dreaming.
I am a software engineer because my last name is Rader.

My paternal ancestors had the occupational surname Radermacher (wheel-wright / cart-wright.) Over time, that became shortened to Rader. When my father went to the US Air Force recruitment office to enlist, the recruiter thought it appropriate for William Rader to become a Radar technician.

My father learned electronics and went on to become an electrical engineer. He learned industrial automation technologies, including microprocessor design and programming. When microcomputers became small and affordable, he had them at home.

I grew up with those computers and was rather fond of them. I went on to earn a CS degree and become a software engineer.
It also meant far fewer people were inclined to own them, and they were far less accessible.

These days we still do the same thing, those of us who are inclined - but we do it with the internet, funky web services, a thousand programming languages, and so on.

And if we want to tinker... we go buy an arduino or something.
I just bought a Chromebook for my parents-in-law, even though there were slightly cheaper Windows laptops. The reason? I'm off the hook for support. No malware issues, no backups, no nothing - worst case the thing lets out the magic smoke, you buy a new one and log in again.

And that's why the education sector is flocking to these things. OK, the price is good, but when you factor in order of magnitude less support costs, it's a very compelling proposition.
The cost of one tourist suffering from heat stroke and dehydration because the restaurant didn't put a glass of water in front of him while eating far outweighs any water savings.

> I find it a bit disturbing that giving an operating system 32GB would be considered too small. I've not played with win8, but my win7 install started out at 20GB, and damned if I can figure out what consumes all that space out of the box.

I just don't think 32GB is big enough in general minus some space for the OS but I don't think I've had the same type of issue as you. The majority of my OS installs have been roughly 10GB which isn't far off from iOS and might include some restore stuff. But it's also been a while since I checked.
Shilling for Microsoft huh? What makes you think that Google sells your personal info?
At UC Berkeley I'm seeing a lot of student groups switching to Slack. For example, several CS classes (including one of the largest ones, Data Structures) are using Slack for internal communication. A lot of student clubs (including one I'm involved with) are using Slack now.

So the idea that Slack is only popular because of enterprise sales doesn't really hold water in my opinion. It really is a great product. All of these groups heard about Slack through word of mouth.
Smartbox by Inbox: Yet another April mob
I would agree with you if the competitors were in any way competing on time over the course of multiple years, but in reality they aren't. It's a one time race, repeated annually, and each course & victory stands alone. (Not like other extreme ultras like the Leadville 100, etc, where there absolutely is competition each year to lower the record.)
Well, technology isn't necessarily causing consumption. In fact, things like VR headsets can reduce consumption.
As an ultramarathoner I can tell you that the Barkley is notorious in the community.

Those kind of statements imply that cattle destroy that water. The water is returned to the environment a few hours after it's ingested. It's usually just part of the natural cycle.

I know you understand this: you talk about eating Texas cattle instead of California cattle, but I wanted to emphasize it for others.

Vast numbers of cattle are raised in semi-desert conditions in Texas and Montana without the use of irrigated feedstock. Those cattle occupy the same ecological niche as the bison did 150 years ago, with a similar environmental impact. Tearing up the native prairie to grow any sort of grain or vegetable crop would destroy the land.

I have to agree there is a slight bias towards White winning, but it really isn't a landslide [1]. And it's probably a cliche by now, but I always liked the saying (apparently by Tarkatower [2]):

It's funny to me that even before Snowden NSA (like literally every other federal agency) was facing a monumental challenge because you can hardly find anyone with decent qualifications to accept the middling salaries and hard cap on potential compensation as a government worker. Why go to NSA as a GG-9 (there's other schedules than GS, guys) out of college when you could go to Google for maybe similar... and maybe actually get to share your work possibly?

The other part of the equation is that cost of living in the DC area has risen quite a lot and tech salaries in private sector have met the tide when most federal workers can't keep up with it. When it takes two federal workers at about $70k / yr each to have a chance at a comfortable living in the suburbs it's pretty sickening. Median house price in Fairfax County hit $700k the other year, and up in Anne Arundel County in Maryland it's maybe $550k last I saw years ago).
The grandparent comment makes it sound nefarious, and there are a lot of people that dislike the US... but it doesn't sound too bad to me to bid on contracts for a democratically-elected government.

The NSA thing is disappointing and it's important that the electorate hold the government accountable, but democracy has not broken down yet, and the situation isn't quite as dire as, say, North Korea.

(Waiting for the "google employee compares US government to North Korea" headline, sigh...)

Chuckles IE used to support this with something called Inter-Page Transitions [1] - every time I saw it it made me double-take.

That said, I wouldn't go down that road again. Better pre-fetching hints are good and HTML is a good place for a fallback (HTTP 2.0 provides better ways of doing it if you have control of the server), but page transitions are something better left to CSS, to my mind.

During the last drought, my city (Ottawa, Canada) took out radio advertisements exhorting people to water their lawns. The dry lawns were creating a fire hazard. We've got lots of water around here, and as noted, using it just puts it back into the environment in a different place.
> The water is returned to the environment a few hours after it's ingested.

Just like the water that comes out of my showerhead or toilet, but the state still places big restrictions on each of those.
There are a small handful of extreme races that are all approaching impossible in their own special way. The Barkley, because of it's traversal of insane undergrowth and ridiculous total elevation, is one. The Marathon des Sables (http://www.marathondessables.co.uk/) across part of the Sahara is another (6 days max to traverse 251km while carrying all your supplies except a tent (and you can refill water containers each night at the aid stations)). The Arrowhead 135 is essentially the same style, but conducted in northern Minnesota in the middle of winter (http://www.arrowheadultra.com/index.php/race-inforegistratio...). The Iditarod is a fourth.
I wrote "Being told once that an idea of yours is nothing? Survivable. Being told that from a baby? That changes your life. And not really in a good way."

From that you inferred I was a cultural chauvinist. Or was it the author? I can't tell. But I generally agree with author's negative views on those parts of the traditional Swedish upbringing, and prefer the modern ones more. In any case, given that Swedes actively worked to change their culture, they didn't like it either.

You broadened the conversation to be "other cultures". Yes, your shift from specific details about older Swedish culture to a generic "some cultures" diminishes the importance of observations, and yes, sounds very much like relativism.

The comment about the corporal punishment was in the context of changes to Swedish child-raising practices in the mid-20th century. I meant it only as an example of how the examples I quoted fit into the internal debates in Swedish culture.

Yes, I think that beating one's children is violence, and may lead to trauma. I'm much more sure of that than being able to make a full understanding of early 20th century Swedish culture to say the same about that situation. What I think is important is the evidence that small phrases, like "you are nothing" and "dumb Swede", can cause unappreciated emotional turmoil. As these examples predate the concept of "microagressions", there's no chance that these were induced by the modern zeitgeist.

Beyond the basic "stupid mistake" level of play, chess centres around forcing your opponent into a situtation where they have two different risks that they need to defend against and only one move to do it, while not allowing your opponent to do the same to you.
The first-move-advantage becomes increasingly relevant the higher the level of play, of course.

While I'm all for the tradition of April fools jokes around the internet, I'm a bit concerned about the nature of this particular one.

- The redirect makes it appear that the site has been compromised, to many people this is likely to affect their trust of the Linux kernel and it's development.

- kernel.org is the main website for the Linux Kernel - not a blog, a fake sales page etc, its the core of Linux.

IMO - The logo is fine, the title is OK, the URL redirect is inappropriate.

> Maybe part of some of it, but I'm talking about the Internet Terminal idea.

I'm pretty young, so I was woefully ignorant of this. However the more I read about it, the more it sounds like 'Cloud computing' and 'internet of things'. In fact, Chrome OS isn't too far from their Java Internet Terminal idea.

> Have you tried Web IDEs? They're probably decades behind their desktop counterparts.

I have. My main IDE, and probably my favourite ever, is R Studio which runs in a Webview (or as a webpage) and uses Ace for editing. Two fairly popular upstart IDEs, LightTable and Atom both use web technology. I quite enjoy Caret as well.

Not sure why you think they're decades behind. If anything the fact they're as advanced as they are is impressive, given most have been developed only in the last few years, whereas Visual Studio, Eclipse, etc..., have been around much longer.
here's a couple off the top of my head...

"Static hosting without the static"

"speedy, secure and simple"

"Home of the KISSSS principal. Keep it speedy, secure, simple and static"

"Save time and money while gaining ironclad security and speeding up your web service"
Because of the popularity of WordPress at the low end of the CMS market, administrators of WordPress sites are very frequently not the same people who admin the servers those sites run on; think shared hosting, for instance. (And in the case of scenarios like shared hosting, the WordPress admin may not have any administrative control over the server whatsover.)

So it tells those people how to do what they can do -- secure their WordPress installation. Protecting the integrity of the server/hosting environment itself is Somebody Else's Problem®.
Watched a great documentary on the Barkley awhile back. I've done a city full and a trail half marathon, but its mindblowing to comprehend just how rough this race is. For those not familiar with the handful of people who have finished, these guys are seriously tough. Brian Robinson has a wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Robinson_%28hiker%29) that highlights his accomplishments, and the Barkley is one of them:

"Brian Robinson was the first person to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, the Appalachian Trail and the Continental Divide Trail (or the Hiker Triple Crown) in one year, a total distance of over 7,000 miles."

"In the years following the Calendar Triple Crown, Robinson became an active ultra-marathoner. He has completed several 100-mile races, including the Western States 100 and the Hardrock Hundred Mile Endurance Run. In 2008 he set the course record at the Barkley Marathons, a grueling 100 mile course in Frozen Head State Park, Tennessee."

Jared Campbell has also, I believe, won Hardrock previously.
It adds 30 hours at 3mph. 63 hours total.
The equivalent of “It’s all Greek to me” in 30 other languages
I live slightly south of Frozen Head, and have hiked there a number of times in the last year or so since I moved down here (dryish-winter hike[1], a snowy day up top[2]). It really is a beautiful park and TN state parks are free, so if you're in the area I recommend stopping by.

I've been trying to convince a few ultra-marathoner friends to apply for the Barkley since I got out here, but they're all extremely hesitant. From everything I've read and gathered this race is just totally unlike what they're used to out West in terms of its general terrain (including plants, stepping off the trails in the spring and summer you can quickly get into quite vicious thorns, and the race isn't really on trails anyways as far as I know), and overall idiosyncratic nature. The weather down here can also be all over the place this time of year. I hiked Frozen Head in the high 50s/low 60s back in late January or early February; this past Sunday I was 2 hours south, in the Smokies, hiking in 5-6 inches of snow.

It's certainly a personal pie-in-the-sky feat to dream about before I move away in a few years, but realistically I'll just settle for an AT through hike instead (which should be far, far more manageable).

Why so little? Its a pretty damn critical bug especially if it were use judiciously -- it might be really hard to detect. For a company with billions it seems like they should have better incentivized this. I'd imagine China would have paid a lot more for this bug, or one of the upcoming presidential campaigns, for example.

I purchased my 88 year old father a chromebook two years ago.

It just works, and is the only computer he has not messed up.

Highly recommended.
I did play the original. It was not without its flaws. The controls were very fiddly. It was easy to die or fall down and lose 5 minutes of intricate jumping progress. You might call that skill, I call that mindless busywork. I did not find the satisfaction deeper.

The reboot did indeed have quicktime events, which are generally lame, but it used them sparingly—I never felt like I was playing Dragon's Lair. The thing it did better than the original was present a cohesive world. The island felt like every location had a real sense of place.

Everyone has a their own sense of what "lowest common denominator" means, but if yout think it means "reasonable controls, no horrific and misplaced difficulty spikes, good visuals, and an engaging story", then I agree.
Meanwhile, all of Chinese medicine is just sitting there, waiting for someone to "discover" it.
