I was unable to find the paper in Lancet's online system.

Exactly.
I read a lot. I just happen to do most of my reading online.

I don't follow the notion that what we read online by default has less value than what is available to us in books. I have learned a lot from what I've read online, whether it's long form articles, Wikipedia articles, piecemeal submissions that make up online forum/community sites or even IRC logs.

The mere fact that something is available in book form is not a guarantee of it's accuracy nor a guarantee of the author's credibility.

>Firefox, conversely, doesn't have the canvas.toBlob() method, so if you want to convert a canvas to a Blob, you need to use canvas.toDataURL() and convert the dataURL to a Blob instead. blob-util does this under the hood.

I don't know where they are getting this. Firefox proposed[1] the toBlob() method, and implemented[2] it in Fx19.

I can see how this is effective. I remember reading that people with chronic depression have better memories and dwell on the past. Getting the person focused on the present could, theoretically, help alleviate painful memories. More studies need to be done. I'm all for natural, non-medicated, means of cures.

On one hand, I don't think this is some meat industry propaganda and there probably is a link between the disconnect of meat consumers and the act of butchering to the increase of meat consumption, but I don't agree with the core idea here:

"The way I see it, it's not that there's a desire for the blood and gore, but rather we’re hardwired to deal with the blood and gore, and when that innate machinery goes unused – as it does in a postdomestic society – humans are left with a gap, with something missing."

The fact that we're hardwired to crave something does not automatically imply we should do it. This is part of what being human is about. If men crave sex, it doesn't follow that they should rape women lest they are left with a gap or something missing. I used to love eating meat more than most people I know, but stopped eating it years ago since it didn't make any sense to me that for my pleasure a sentient animal should suffer and die. I have no trouble dealing with the gap...

Note that I'm not judgemental about my friends or any other people that eat meat. Life is not black and white - everyone can make their choices and I know vegetarians and vegans who can take morality lessons from meat eaters - but at least we should call a spade a spade. Unless it's crucial for your own survival, I believe eating meat brings more suffering than joy to the world.
Does that mean you still used FSM inside the sequences or selectors?

Or you used FSM for less than you usually would. Like pure state based use-cases instead of shoe-horning it. Which I did, heh.

To the contrary, you generally have to get fired to receive benefits unless you are quitting for exceptional reasons. To deny your unemployment claims after you've been fired or laid off, your employer has to dispute your claim and demonstrate serious conduct breaches while under oath. If you quit for general dissatisfaction, you're not covered.

You still need to be able to plug in stuff like decorators to say, invert values, have a throttle or a counter and etc.

Essentially you're going to need a wrapper to create a tree from either a DSL or e.g JSON from a GUI.
Another Indian e-commerce site Tradus did this last year, and they failed so badly they went back to stealth mode.

Having said that, Flipkart might be just big enough to actually pull this off. I must note that it is highly irritating. They already shut down their mobile site ages ago with a "Download the app or go die" page. This is extremely irritating especially when you follow links from e-mails, their app fails to catch it and mobile site is giant "Ha Ha".

For this to work they would have to significantly boost the quality of their apps. It is just not that great on either iOS or Android. Flipkart has made apps for insane amount of platforms though, even S40, to probably support this decision. Even my Android Wear has a Flipkart app.

EDIT: FYI, Flipkart didn't really say that they will shut it down. All they said is that their mobile traffic grew 10-fold and in the next year they might become totally mobile. He was obviously referring to traffic, with no word about shutting down website.
Oh, no, I would argue that stuff is bad. I think startup culture is generally toxic, held together only by the exceedingly rare promise of success.
In practical play the small blind is often the basic "unit", so usually the smallest delta between successive bet sizes are the size of the small blind, or half that (e.g. at $1/$2, allowed bets might be $2, $2.50, etc)
I'm honestly a little surprised at some of the comments here. I thought most people on here would agree that many of us do suffer from this. I mean, how many of you actually read through the entire article, WITHOUT checking your email, or flipping to twitter/fb to tell the world about this good article you just found? I had to really force myself to read the entire article first, and not give in to that urge to get a hit of dopamine. But of course, YMMV.

I think the ability to concentrate and focus on a single task is going to become more and more useful, because it is so easy to give in to that temptation to flip away, just for a quick moment. I've been working on practicing mindfulness through meditation, and have thought of reading a book as a form of meditation (nice to see the author allude to that a little).

So your TL;DR: good article, read more books, re-learn how to focus on single tasking.
Take what with a pinch of salt? That MCBT is about the same as meds for chronic recurrent depression? Because the paper appears to show that it is as effective. Or that it works at all? Well, they didn't have a group that they took off medication and who didn't do therapy so we don't know what the relapse rate would have been for that group. I suspect that t would be higher than 45%
I would, if I could still read.
> 15 years ago, I read a dozen of C++ books cover-to-cover. Can someone today get similar levels of knowledge jumping around quality blog posts and watching youtube videos?

Not saying it's better or worse, but I'm willing to say that the understanding you'll get from blogs is going to be be different than from a long-form book.

Books get the benefit of knowing where they left off one chapter, and picking it up on the next. Unless you're reading a long series of posts on the same blog (which, in the limit, approaches reading a book), reading blog posts will lack that continuity, and I find them inferior for building up a basic understanding of a topic. What blogs do really well, IMO, is for teaching you well-isolated techniques, or other such limited-scope ideas.

Your experience with C++ And Golang are in no way, shape or form comparable. If you've been doing C++ for 15 years, Golang is a comparatively small learning curve. You just need to pick up on a few syntactic differences and you'll be at that basic level of competence that books will give you, and you're ready for the single-topic, specialized learning that you'll get from blogs.
Hostile? I would call it "fair". Because, ok, let's assume you win. I'm wrong, you're right, and some ultimate dictator decides that all websites now are coming in black-on-white only. What should I do, as a person that feels low-contrast is much nicer than eye-burning one? Exactly, I'm about to make my own customizations or suffer. And then you should be saying, that black-on-white is hostile to me, which wouldn't make much sense, as you (or somebody else for that matter) would have something to complain on either way.

Hence my first point about "if it hurts conversion/…". In other words, if it's your business — it's your business. If it's not — well, you are free to complain about other people coloring their stuff as they like all you want, but I hope they won't be upset about that, because they really shouldn't be, and believing that your point of view is the only right one (even if it's supported by some Nielsen or whatever) is simply ignorance.
I went on a pork butchery course on Friday and it helped me fully connect the animal in the field to the meat on my plate. I'd seen it on TV before, but actually cutting up a pig and getting hands on really opened my eyes.
Very interesting. Almost got ready to up my systemd-hate on slide 19: "machinectl -H root@example.com:debian-tree"[1] -- but calmed down and had a look around and saw that it just uses ssh, not some pottering pixiedust kerberos abomination...:

http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/machinectl.h...

With proper handling of access (allowing unprivileged users to start containers) along with --bind for the home directory, this could be a viable alternative to Debian's schroot [s].

There's also a complimentary lwn article from 2013 that's worth reading:

https://lwn.net/Articles/572957/

That also contains a quote that explains a bit about systemd (if read maliciously): "As part of the development of systemd, the team looked at various kernel features to see if they were relevant to the project."

At least with this (containers w/log handling etc) we get something for our complexity. Still, having had two seperate machines fail to boot/even come up with a text console with some sensible errors - I'm far from sold on the idea that I want all these features in PID 1.

[1] changed user "foo" to "root" to be a little more clear. Maybe "user1" would work as well - but systemd (unlike lxc etc) requires root?).

[s] https://wiki.debian.org/Schroot

Reminds me that I should probably make write-up of how I set up schroot to allow "source"-access for root, and automagic sessions for a standard user backed by lvm -- the documentation is a bit dense.
I don't have a problem reading when it is properly paginated like a book or ebook. But when i read a online article it becomes something else because it is just a very long scroll of text. Perhaps the one thing the web really need is a pagination API...
Fatal error: Argument 1 passed to myLog() must be of the type string, integer given, called in /home/vagrant/basic/main.php on line 9 and defined in /home/vagrant/basic/main.php on line 4

"HHVM says the error occurred on line 6 where PHP says it occurred on line 9. I prefer HHVM's approach here as it shows us where we called the function with the bad data, not where the function is defined that we are calling with bad data."

Hrm, PHP is telling you both line 4 and line 9, as where the function is defined and where it's being called with bad data, which is quite nice. In comparison, HHVM is saying line 6, which is a closing brace for the myLog function. In my books, PHP's approach is way way better then HHVM's

Go seems solid - I'm not a go person - the kind of stuff I make generally doesn't need it - but even outside traditional C communities Go is super popular. I know modulus use it for their load balancer (rather than node, which is interesting) and the CoreOS and GoSquared folks I've spoken to think it's pretty rad too.

Sure, the "super-good" at hiding it == They make sure it's not right up in your face & you can't feel it in your day-to-day life; especially sure not to let the non-minorities or affluent feel it. My family and wife are from Nigeria. I've enjoyed going to the movies & the beach & to eat out at restaurants. However I've also been to some of the rougher parts and watched, from a taxi, my dad argue over bribes with 2 police(or military) men holding machine guns. In USA, as long as the corruption is mostly impacting the poor and/or minorities it's not a problem. In fact, I'd love to know the economic & demographic breakdown of responses to the perceived corruption and the questions from that website. It'd help me to know if I'm right or completely off base in my assumptions.
Of course such a project would be driven by people opposed to the dominating hypothesis.

Nevertheless, the scientific principles at stake are correct. The character and past of people funding a scientific data review are irrelevant for the outcome of science.

I agree that too high contrast is also wrong. Notice how the submitted website does not use black text on a white background anywhere? No one is asking for maximum contrast. People are asking for good contrast, and that includes "not black on white".

Usually, that only applies if you were fired for misconduct. And in places where firing for any reason is grounds for denying unemployment, most companies won't fight an appeal.
1) Coasts (and to less extent rivers) are the king, you can't just place a city at random and call it a day.

2) Why would you want to live in an 100,000 population city that is 120 km apart from other major cities? Seriously - it's too big for small community feeling, and not nearly enough for vibrant cultural life (theatres, museums, live concerts). Also it's too much to just utilize the land around them, and not enough to be e.g. finance center.
Such cities IMO are inherently not stable, they will gravitate towards either increasing their population to 300-600k (metropolitan area) or lose people until they shrink to 30-40k.

The whole grid thing is stupid. People want to either spread out or concentrate. They don't want to be stuck at an "average" density.
It would appear that nobody can build hadoop packages from source. Otherwise, one of these large hadoop consultancies would provide packages for ubuntu 14.04, a long term support release which will be supported years longer than 14.04.
We are certainly not hardwired to crave meat (at least not more than other food). People live in all sorts of situations on the planet. Some eat meat, some don't. The success of humans is probably partly due to being able to dwell on all sorts of diets.
Too much contrast is also bad, reducing blacks just a tiny bit reduces eye strain in the average screen.
I am an regular Flipkart User, and I do not like this behaviour, Flipkart is forcing me to move to an mobile app, just to have better control and tracking.

They have already stopped supporting the mobile website, and it simply instructs you to download the app to continue.

This is the moment I have completely stopped using flipkart and moved to amazon.in

Not quite. Absolute traffic levels don't matter. The only time it makes sense to throw it out, as the parent comment suggested, is if the maintenance costs exceed the benefits. Even if the usage is low compared to mobile, it only makes sense to stop if it's a long-term net negative.

Personally, this makes me suspect bad architecture. If they've got well-factored APIs, the additional cost of maintaining a modest web presence should be pretty low. From what they describe, mobile is now somewhere between 40 and 60% of their traffic. Even if they were pretty sure that the trend to mobile would continue, why wouldn't they just hedge their bets by investing less in the HTML front end until the web traffic is really negligible? Few people use faxes anymore, but a lot of businesses still publish fax numbers just in case.

Assuming that this isn't purely internal politics, then my best guess is that they have a lot of terrible web code. Somebody saying, "Mobile is the one and only future! Look, shiny future!" gives people a chance to declare bankruptcy on a lot of technical debt while appearing as forward-thinking leaders, rather than bozos who made a giant mess.
This is really nice. Does anybody know whether there's a comparable (real time, asynchronous, highlighting symbols not lines) syntax checker for neovim?
Yes exactly. You'd think that a condom company would take the 'build a better mousetrap' adage to heart and see the potential market. You can find condoms everywhere, even in the Congo and the Amazon.

"15 years ago, I read a dozen of C++ books cover-to-cover. Can someone today get similar levels of knowledge jumping around quality blog posts and watching youtube videos?"

That's a real problem. You can't write and sell a book for a fast-changing language. (Go may have stabilized enough for a printed book. A useful Rust book is impossible right now.) A writer and publisher can't invest the time and effort to produce a book that will be obsolete when it ships.

Frequently, they will word it as a layoff instead of a firing for cause, to avoid the potential lawsuit. Some minimum-wage employers would do firings to avoid paying unemployment, but that isn't as common at the professional level.
I think the point is that attention is a luxury.

These days, the currency is attention. The amount of attention required for reading of any substance is very high, and with thousands of apps, sites, shows, brands, and everything else pulling at us in a way that's engineered to be ideally visceral and tailored to our animal impulses, the lack of attention left over is no surprise.

I've started butchering most of my own meat and I've found it very rewarding. I've gotten to the point that I look forward to days where we butcher because it's become a social gathering with a great group of people. So far I've worked on pig, goat, lamb, deer (which I shot), and I look forward to helping with a cow.

Almost all of the meat I cook is raised by someone I know and butchered by myself and/or folks I know. I've never been as satisfied with a piece of meat as I've been since I started participating in the processing. I highly recommend trying it if you know someone who can show you the ropes.

I definitely notice when somebody makes a strong, professional finish. Indeed, it's a great way to understand somebody's character. Everybody's nice and helpful on their first day at work. It's how people behave when there's no immediate reward at stake that tells me what they'll be like in future tough situations.
