i drink a lot of loose tea
Like Oolong, green tea, yellow tea and black tea.
Matcha and yerba are also good.

there is so much tea in the world that there will be something for everybody. You just have to learn to brew it correctly. for example most green teas dont like more then 80C hot water.

Teas like Matcha can have the same effect like coffee but without the sudden drop of energy after a short time.

I really never enjoy anecdote-experiments, there always seems to be too little information to conclude anything.

Under the takeaways after two weeks, he mentions that it was easier for him to fall asleep and wake up. But there is no mention on the number of hours pre/post the experiment and no mention on what times he would drink coffee. If he stayed awake 18 hours when he drank coffee and only 16 hours when he didn't, it would make sense he felt more awake in the morning.

I guess I am just annoyed at any of the claimed health benefits through a small anecdote.
This is really cool! Nicely done and easy to use, also i'm real happy that it handles ES6. Might just use this in the future.

Agreed... while this is a software design issue I too would be surprised to see a plane powered up for that long continuously. Needs to be fixed, yes... causing a lot of issues at the moment? Probably not.
I thought of this when I learned that ThinkPad batteries had a complex controller, almost a dedicated cpu with a real-time OS, to ensure safe and consistent state of battery cell voltage and temp. Critical systems need dedicated apparatus.
Presumably all of Boeing's other planes have such counters in their systems, and don't have this bug (or if they did, it was corrected already), so why only the 787? That's what I find most surprising.

Edit: one theory that seems plausible is that they were "overly paranoid" and put in overflow checks, on a time counter whose overflowing would not have had negative effects otherwise since the other code was designed to handle a wraparound correctly.
How to Build a Software Company without an idea and without coding
It strikes me that Youtube compete in several different distinct markets...

* Camcorder like footage of friends and family (competition with Facebook).

* Music videos (requires expensive licencing deals, competition with Spotify etc).

* TV/Films (competition with Netflix, Hulu etc).

Youtube has just turned into infrastructure rather than a service or community. It is more like a piece of the OS that is massively useful in a general sense, but not tuned to a particular use. The underlying technology (video that works) is just not special any more.

Without help from Google maybe they would have focused on one market and becoming something different.

Since I quit drinking coffee regularly, over a year ago, I've been all around more efficient/productive.

No more, "I can't do that until I get my morning coffee." This is important because I get my highest quality work done in the mornings.

Unlike the author, I've almost been lured back by the idea of "bullet proof coffee."

Not sure what are you getting at. What I didn't say: transpiling is magic fairy dust for speed, and you don't have to care about language semantics at all.

What I said: "unless done badly" (my words on the original comment), it's fast, as it gives you a chance to emit straightfoward C code for most operations. Now, regarding your example:

First, HipHop is not transpiled to C. It's a runtime with a JIT.

Second, what does "HipHop not supporting the entirety of the PHP runtime" has to do with anything?

I take it you mean that the fact they had to skip some parts of the runtime for increased speed, proves something related to what I wrote. But (besides the JIT thing) PHP is not greenfield like Nim. They have a runtime, and it has to work in a certain way. PHP wasn't designed with transpiling in mind, and HipHop had to follow it closely as a design goal. I never said runtime decisions you have to mimic to be 100% compatible can't slow you down.
I'm guessing these GCUs are like the ECUs in a car - even when "off" they're still powered and running in a standby mode. The fact that the AD contains messages such as "batteries do not need to be disconnected" and that this "electrical power deactivation" takes approximately an hour of work suggests something needs to be gotten at, unplugged, and replugged.
But how would you put it in the right place in the table? Can you just have something like

cycles[opcode] := ncycles

run during compile time in the macro, resulting in a populated 256-byte table of all the opcode cycles and no anything done in runtime?

The tie around the neck is like a noose. Slave to money symbolism.
Ordinary people certainly are the ones pushing for home ownership, for the simple reason that when homes are in a serious shortage, it makes a lot of economic sense to own them if you can commit to the mortgage payments. It's the same reason as people with no connection to the UK whatsoever and piles of their own cash to spend think that London property is a good place to park it.

The government is buying electoral support with Help to Buy schemes and Right to Buy extensions; the fact the banks also like it is incidental.

It's simple. Legacy software is the fastest growing market throughout the industry. Therefore legacy system related topics are likely to be popular.
Similar experiences and I quit coffee ~ 6 months ago. I switched to cacao; initially ground cacao beans and settled on cacao powder. For ground beans, I tried Choffy and Crio Bru through a coffee maker and then a french press. I liked it but wanted a deeper cacao flavor, moving to powder. To drink cacao with powder, I fill my travel mug with water, pour the water into a single cup coffee maker (no grounds in the filter) and place 1 1/2 - 2 T of cacao powder (usually Viva Labs or TruVibe for criollo cacao) into the mug, which mixes with the dispensed hot water. The cacao provides a boost, in a different way than coffee, and health benefits.
>On its own youtube doesn't really make any money. It's only recently that its started to actually champion original content. (as in something approaching a tv station. not just nut shots.)

Maybe, but the first statement ("doesn't make any money") and the second ("only recently champions original content") have no logical connection whatsoever.

The could be making (or losing) billions with the existing videos they have. Making or championing "original content" is totally irrelevant to their money-making.

>* I suspect that 99% of all videos uploaded to youtube are useless and have less than 100views. (https://www.youtube.com/yt/press/en-GB/statistics.html)*

They just take disk space then, which is cheap and unimportant.
Software tends not to be reused between planes unless you go back to the same vendor and there are no major hardware changes with the component as well. Aircraft software is kind of a broken world.

What I am going to say might be foolish, but if you push this philosophy further, Windows might end up with a linux kernel. There is no value to make in the development of a kernel, they should stop it ! And since linux is better than wondows_NT, they should switch to linux.

I know, I know, that's foolish, but it would be so great if that could be true ^^
Same here. I drink it for just the taste and smell. I can go off it for days and I don't get any adverse effects, nor do I feel any different lest I consume it excessively (about a litre).

I have quit coffee for the last two years, aside from a very rare (once every four months or so) dessert coffee.

I used to depend on coffee intellectually, I always had to have a cup next to whatever work I was working on, and a pot brewing to back up the cup when I was finished.

Quitting was very difficult, but I have learned to appreciate moving through work slowly, carefully, cautiously, and with regular pacing, that I can meta-regulate with multiple levels of thought and planning. When I used to drink coffee, it just felt like all of my attention was superficially and strictly devoted to whatever work I had to pound out.

I still drink tea, from white tea to oolongs, but this has no where near the effect coffee has on me. Caffeine from coffee makes me feel like someone has thread tied into my eyeballs and into the center of the prefrontal cortex of my brain, and is pulling on it with shaking hands. I assume that is hypertension. It's the worst 'focused' feeling I know of, and I absolutely can not get work done in this state any longer.

I really like being able to think slowly, with occasional minor distractions. It's more reliable, has more coherency, and builds on itself naturally.
I was persuaded by a recruiter to wear a suit to interview the other day. It made me realise how lucky I am not to have to wear one every day. Seems slightly absurd to be required to wear a Victorian costume whilst writing 21st Century software.
I've stopped drinking coffee after being addicted to it for about 16 years. First week was terrible, then the withdrawal effects stopped. I pretty much feel the same now as I was after drinking my first cups of coffee. I've got more energy over the day because there are no phases of low caffeine anymore.

Also, not being addicted to it makes things like occasional energy drinks in emergencies really useful. I needed to rescue a lost couchsurfer in the middle of the night - which I wouldn't have been able to do before. A few sips of energy drink made me really awake in order to drive safely. There's so much difference between the the effects on when you are addicted to it and not.

You get bonus points for not listing any kind of contact information for the person/business behind this.
The key is that if you're above-average for a given market, you're average in a higher-valued market. All you need is a single job offer in that higher market to force your current employer's hand one way or the other. When you are the product on offer, the employer doesn't get to define what markets you're available to; they have to play the hand you deal.

This applies geographically, as well - if an employer says "Well, they might be paying that rate in SV, but round here..." then you need to be applying for remote positions. They don't get to opt out of that market either.
That would be the idealistic view of individuality et al, but the thing is people are more alike than they think.
I don't get it. How will you achieve enabling your application to render at 120 fps, instead of 60 fps, without leveraging a twice as powerful CPU/GPU, which will use roughly twice as much power?

I would think the added power draw from rendering at 120 Hz would come from all the applications needing double the number of graphics-calculations they need at 60 fps.
That 1% increase compounds.

The problem is that an operation can have variable number of cycles depending on what addressing mode it uses as each opcode.
Instead of purples and greens, let's use whites and yellows. We can see in the real world, whether it's Europeans in Asia, or Asians in Europe, the foreigners would be lucky to make 5%, yet tend to live in the same neighbourhoods in whatever city. When you're that level of minority, clumping together gets you better services you can access - in languages you can speak fluently, from people who are familiar with your cultural background and needs.
One could argue otherwise.

The Eurozone is reminiscent of the 'Sterling Area'. The basic principle of trade local first, sterling area second and everyone else last. This is strikingly similar to the Eurozone today.

The EU basically puts the US down last as a large trade partner. China may be a big trader but EU/US trade is something beyond words.

TPP is something that seeks to wear down this 'last preference' down to get a better deal than the rest of the world.

I understand what you're saying, and agree with you on general terms, but this argument doesn't apply to homeopathy.

Homeopathy doesn't claim that "some substance heals people". It claims (according to Wikipedia [1]) "a substance that causes the symptoms of a disease in healthy people will cure similar symptoms in sick people".

It's fundamentally flawed, and despite revisionist practitioners, has not yet managed to raise it's head above "pseudoscience" status.

It shouldn't really be mentioned in the same sentence as research that is actually trying to determine if a substance has an effect, even if that research is flawed. Said research and homeopathy aren't really playing on the same field. It's like calling religion a science. It's based on a premise that can't be questioned without throwing out the entire idea.

It may not be default, but we've seen, again and again, how people are influenced by what they read about a database (e.g. MongoDB).

> It took a day or two to become effective. A few months to become more effective than I had been under Windows 7, and a while before I really started to get it.

I've been using Win8 for about 1 hour/day for the last few months. The flips between Metro and Desktop still drive me crazy. You might have learned to accept that, or to avoid those flips, but this schizoid mode of operation comes with unneeded cognitive overload for desktop work, even if you did master it.

The thing is, Win8 was optimized for Microsoft's benefit, not yours. Win8.1 gave up some of those things, because (a) it didn't provide the benefit it was optimized for -- windows phone acceptance, and (b) it did alienate a significant portion of the userbase that clang hard to their Win7.

"Using 8 meant you had to learn something", yes. But for what purpose?
In the UK power cuts are very rare in most places (and generators are cheap), so it's not a huge advantage. The enviroment factor is at best tenuous due to 20% of energy stored lost as heat and high energy requirements for producing the batteries; and in any case unilateral green action makes no difference.

The solar tie in is quite nice, but current feed-in tariffs are huge in the UK (30p per kWh perhaps), so you're getting more out of paying it back than you would for storing.

Government incentives obviously change the calculations, but there aren't any at the moment.

Love what this project is aiming for. I'm glad it's happening. It's also fun to observe framerate fetishism on Playtronic's forums where questions about support for 120+fps are popping all over the place. I tend to feel that people who aren't concerned about, say, gameplay, game length, quality of content overall but hedge their support on the framerate have their priorities in a very weird place. ;)

Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is a feedback loop algorithm for control. You give some desired goal (in this case is to reach a position) and it moves to that goal by iteratively attempting to minimise the error (in this case distance).

A real life example is the stabilisation of quadcopters ("drones" eugh I hate that word). Where instead of attempting to reach a location the target is to maintain a specific angle relative to the ground.

As always wikipedia is your friend http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID_controller.
I completely agree with you - on at least three of the dozen or so flights I've taken this year, when there was a problem with the passenger area (Audio in one case, WiFi in another, and finally my POWER connector in the third) - the flight attendants power cycled the entire system, which took about 15 minutes, and let me watch the Linux boot process on the back-of-seat console.

My suspicion is the "Reboot" approach is pretty common to aviation systems. It wouldn't surprise me that many of the components are rebooted daily, and almost certainly on a weekly basis.

120+ days without a reboot sounds unlikely to me.

Very true, and one can defend either side of it as per the situation.

If the goal is to teach about PID controllers, then the demo could use a graph showing the parameters through time.
YouTube was a long term play, 10 years ago storage and bandwidth costs where far higher, and 10 years from now there going to be lower still. Sure, HD video did increase there costs, but an HD video in 2015 is cheaper than a SD video when they started out. More importantly there not paying for most of there content making the long term outlook vary favorable.
