So you say that second monitor caused neck and shoulder strain and then you say that you use laptop for coding? I notice some mutually exclusive points here.

I worked about a year on a laptop and also used laptop at home a little. It was a horrifying experience, neck and back strain was really big because of terrible posture behind a laptop - low placed screen, too close screen to keyboard and yourself, narrow and unergonomic keyboard, small screen estate.
You twisted the 'We' from the whole humanity to just 'USA'.
I use i3wm on a 15" laptop and usually have applications running on all nine virtual desktops.

I moved away from two screens with OpenBox because the window juggling was still killing me. Having two screens didn't cut it down that much, and tapping two keys to switch desktops and move apps in front of me is a lot simpler and quicker than translating between screens.

I would like to see more companies follow Google's lead and release their high quality fonts under a free or open source license.

I understand a type foundry not making their product available for free, but software behemoths like apple, google and microsoft can and should help make quality fonts available for everyone.
I'm not aware of any portable language that offers semantics that guarantee data is never rendered accessible to the outside world (I could well believe that current implementations don't, but I'm not aware of anything that specifies it). It always comes down to platform-specific APIs. But that's not a reason to not use C - unless you can suggest a better alternative?

From the placement of the LEDs and the board's relative size compared to your hand, I'm assuming that this is the main board of the device.

Coming off that board, I see two large wires (red and black) running to a battery connector and two smaller, black wires running to what looks like a temperature sensor.

Your hand is holding a heatsink for the board's power electronics. The smaller protruding black knobs aligned with the LEDs are most likely push buttons, according to the layout of the device [1].

A temperature sensor in an UPS (what I believe the box is) is very common, as it would require ambient temperature readings for optimal charge and safety concerns. You will also find them in hard drives, TV sets, switching power supplies, etc.
You can buy them in bulk on ebay [2], for cheap.

Is that sensor what you believed to be a microphone? Or did I miss something else?

The Talk with John Gruber at WWDC
Hearthstone.
This is the second time you have said that I'm stigmatizing all mental health patients because I have pointed out cases where a person with problems in that broad category engaged in damaging behavior against someone else.

I don't think that "everyone with a condition in the DSM/ICD" from sleep disorders to encopresis should feel like they are the victim of my comments. I certainly don't intend it and after rereading my comments I can't see how a reader can draw that conclusion. I even don't want bipolar, borderline, narcissistic etc. types to be offended by my comments.

I think that the school board is at fault for not inquiring why a person who works primarily with children is receiving psychiatric services. No, you should not be a teacher or in any profession dealing with children if you cannot behave properly, whether it's because you have unresolved personal issues or because you have a disability where you simply cannot realize that certain acts are not allowed or inappropriate. When the risks are so great - not only the damage to the individual himself, which can persist long after the abusive employee's own death, but the possibility that the damaged individual can hurt others and society: prison and/or social support isn't cheap - it's imprudent and neglectful to not follow up when an indicator appears.

I think following up on these indicators would benefit other professional license regimes, not only teachers. Do you want a cop on the street who suffers from PTSD or substance abuse addiction? How about a suicidal airline pilot who may suffer from delusions? Clinical social worker with NPD or history of abusing his own family? For an engineer or cosmetologist it's probably not important.

For all of us individually, there are certain professions that we aren't cut out for. That's just life and I don't think it bothers most of us. What makes you think I'm free of mental health problems myself anyway?

I don't understand. It sounds like they don't have bandwidth problems, only latency problems. But lasers travel at the speed of light just like radios; switching to a laser approach isn't going to reduce latency any.
Ubuntu has a lot of non-free/proprietary drivers available for laptops. Other Linux distros don't, especially new ones with innovative aspects to the underlying system that are just becoming stable.

Try running the lsmod command on your laptop to see which kernel modules are loaded. Google a few of the module names - especially ones that look related to the make of your laptop or its video card.
> Considering that IQ tests have been widely considered as
a measure of intelligence, we think it is worth making further
investigations whether we can develop an agent that
can beat human on solving IQ tests ... we could be a further step closer to the true human intelligence.

This is a bit like saying, "the best runners tend to be pretty tall, and we've made a robot which is really tall – so running robots are just around the corner."

IQ tests certainly correlate well with intelligence (in humans), but they're a metric, not the thing itself. Another metric would be mental arithmetic; people who can do sums quickly tend to be pretty smart, but that doesn't mean that calculators are a step away from super-intelligences.

Interesting and cool work but let's be careful in the interpretation (and remember that people said the same things about chess playing not that long ago).
Purely biologically speaking it is a known trade-off. Intelligence allows tool usage and abstract reasoning about one's surroundings, but it comes of the cost of using up fantastic amounts of energy, which is why even in humans intelligence is not continuously used at the highest level of processing.

YouTube does that at the request of Nintendo due to their ad revenue program[0]. You're leaving out a bit of important context that completely undermines your point.

The problems with Nintendo are not limited to the situation you describe, and they've made a few attempts to make it better and usually made it worse. The long and short of it is that Nintendo has a rather unique position in the industry that because they created the game, they are entitled to a kickback of revenue you make on your own content. If you are not enrolled, they treat it just like a Content ID claim, as if I were to upload my favorite album and attempt monetization.

Content creators and Nintendo do not get along in general. Ask Rooster Teeth, TotalBiscuit, PewDiePie, Angry Joe, and others. This has been extensively covered by everyone I named.

Back to the point, YouTube is entirely absolved of fault, and to claim otherwise betrays misunderstanding.

Looking back, I'm not sure I could imagine bootstrapping without having a supportive partner. Mine was earning slightly less than me, but she covered the insurance, so that was helpful too. Much more importantly, when there were times that there was no time to see anyone non-business related, when I would get buried in a problem and lost my ability to see the larger picture, and when somebody needed to just drag me away from the computer for a bit, she was there. Not to mention all the help on the domestic/not living like an animal front.

It seems like some people need work, problem solving, and/or success like they need to breathe, so their pursuit of those things seems to be enough fuel for them to live off. For the rest of us trying to solve big or small problems, I would say that a strong relationship is an incredibly useful asset. That's even bracketing all the important benefits in all the non-work areas of life.
Saudi Arabia stock market open to foreign investors; what are the risks
The current implementation is fine for people running nginx servers with a single domain, but for anyone trying to engineer this via a web application for more than one domain, this is not sufficient for proper tooling.
I don't use many of the complicated hairdressing services, so I thought that it was mostly about ensuring that they all knew about the health rules. For instance you don't want any tools used on your head to have bacteria or parasite eggs on them. Nor do you want to be cut by a dirty scissor.

When I saw another commenter's report on the two years of college required to get a cosmetology license in a certain US state, though, that level of education seemed to be quite a high requirement for someone who simply wanted to open a barber's shop.

I don't know about writing long stuff or focused debug sessions but for QA two big monitors is real physical need.
For example I need one or two instances of web interface that I test, several shells for logs, cli and support linux PCs, rdp, two analyzer programs, QC with test cases and stuff, any number of needed docs (specs, plans, general tech publications), some notepad with highlighting and the list goes on. And this is not including two work email clients and two work messengers.

Actually I use two monitors and laptop screen, so in total three monitors and on each I tab between several applications.

EMBER 2.0 BETA

Model-View-Controller is replaced by Model-Route-Component-Service.
Two-way bindings are replaced by data down, actions up (DDAU).

I haven't delved into the details, but it looks like things are starting to move in the direction of React. I'm not entirely surprised. We recently built a full scale app with Ember and Ember Data. Now looking back, React with Backbone feels it could have been an equally good (if not better) choice.
I like the new font. You can fit quite more characters on a single line, while maintaining high readability.

It also seems to have more weight and being clearer from distance, but that may also be my monitor tricking me.
I'm sure it'd be worth it. I'm an old old man and just started doing carbon fibre layups (vacuum bagging) .... I've done a lot of normal glass fibre and resin in the past. So Epoxy+carbon+vacuum is ASTONISHING ... it's so strong and so light.

I wish I'd done it years ago.

Makes me want to play with everything on this list!
Oh, you mean an actual gem? I see. I hope the current implementation is importable from Python, as well.

Thank you for giving me the benefit that I failed to give you.

Part of what poetry tries to do is capture experience. It does this with language. The more concrete the language the better. A perhaps unwarranted value judgement but... I stand by it... I think that contemporary poetry still does this. I really must disagree with you if you see otherwise. We may be talking at cross-purposes here.

Of course you use the word "transcendent". And "romantic". These words Lerner studiously avoids but, as you've noted, this is his thesis. I think that this central argument/position holds though. Without using poncey language -- "Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all." -- Lerner is stating that the (primary?) aim of poetry is to put into words that which cannot be put into words. That is why to be silent is to succeed. Notice that a similar idea runs through philosophy. Apparently Wittgenstein was happiest when a student _gave up_ philosophy. Also, isn't this the same chap who said, "the limits of my language […] mean the limits of my world"? Same with the Joycean epiphany. Poetry (and poetic prose) really sings, really lifts off, when it gets us to connect in whatever way with what the words are pointing towards. But all the words can do is point! They can never be a substitute for the thing-in-itself, how can they be! Other forms of writing don't have this aim because they don't have the concision that poetry strives for. By definition almost they don't have the concision. Do you not agree?

Regarding form. I had not come across this, "Form is liberating." I agree 100%. And, I will steal it. The thing is: poetry had not even properly begun to explore the combinatorial space of forms. (Including formlessness.) What has happened is an enlarging of the space (of forms). This is why Lerner points out the irony of those who push against becoming in time part of that which they push against. I am not criticising form. I embrace and celebrate the bigger house. My nature means that I do privilege the new and that is a failing of mine. I do not reject the old, do not misunderstand me here.

Besides, I felt the piece was really well written. Written with a poet's ear.

[hashing this out over a bevvy would be most agreeable :)]
They'd go for the cheaper option until someone is actually injured by that place, then they'd abandon it immediately. This seems like a fine system.
This is probably a good thing.. mainly for people to have job security.
That's not really the point. The course is designed to pair you up with the equipment/resources and have you actually make stuff. The learning comes from applying the knowledge, not just acquiring it.
Curious: how does one discuss negative things without negativity?

Oops... missed a dose of Soma.

You're absolutely right. It's also a way of prohibiting criticism, since it's sort of hard to criticize without... umm... criticizing. I noticed that the policy came into effect after the bizarre "let's regulate CS to prevent killer AI" paranoid psychotic episode that seized this community a few months ago. People criticized that rather sharply, and a number of the recipients of that criticism were very high ranking members of the community.

(I still puzzle about that one. I could forgive such a meme for coming from the Internet's more kooky corners like rense.com but from a site full of people who actually understand such things? I still can't discount the Machiavellian idea that it was a trial balloon for pushing for measures that would deliver a monopoly on high-end CS research to highly funded companies and VC-backed startups.)

Culturally the Bay Area is at least as aggressive as New York, but it's covered with a gloss of hippie veneer appropriated from the counterculture and a lot of politically correct schmaltz. The result is absolutely passive-aggressive. In New York they say 'fuck you,' stab you in the back, and cut you out. In the Bay Area they do the same but with a positive attitude, a talk about seeing the big picture, and well wishes as they send you on your way.

It's also the only place a hyper-elitist top-ten university club of >95% white/asian males could pretend to be a force for diversity, equality, and cultural progress.

I kinda like SoCal. It's also as aggressive as New York. It has a veneer of its own too, but a significantly more transparent one. But the biggest thing I love about LA in particular is that it's a place where the brilliantly intelligent pretend to be stupid. I saw a SpaceX webcast once with this girl who was like ohmygod a rocket scientist. She was even blonde. Like ohmygod here let me show you the, like, importance of the Oberth Effect and why the second stage needs higher specific impulse. The Bay Area is the other way around, which I find irritating... really stupid stuff masquerading as genius. "Here, I'm a 4.0 white male Stanford graduate. Let me show you how I'm changing the world with my app for finding the nearest fried chicken franchise..."

The union defends their members, that's part of their job. It's what prevents administrators from arbitrarily firing people they don't like - or, worse, people who stand up against malpractice on the administrative side. The administration has access to their own specialists who can and do "fight tooth and nail" for their side.

When someone is actually incompetent any halfway competent administrator will be able to fire them. It's not hard - it just requires collecting some actual evidence and documenting that you followed the processes correctly.
How to Improve Your Predictive Model: A Post-Mortem Analysis
I have have a notebook with internal hybrid graphics and the max number of external monitors connected. Whenever the configuration changes the utilities installed along the actual drivers (Intel and Nvidia) begin to fight for who gets to configure the layout. Monitors go on/off seemingly randomly for a few seconds. As I only use the multi monitor setup when the machine is docked, I don't care about that funny dance every morning. But there's an administrator profile on this windows machine that reproducibly locks up when in multi monitor mode.

TalkGoldman Sachs: Session Highlights on the Evolution of Bitcoin
Getting it running on actual iron took more effort than I expected, but lately distros like Ubuntu has spoiled the linux-crowd.

The hardest part about going all in is of you find some of the software you rely on not being packaged. There's just no way to "cheat" and ./configure && make'ing for way around: you have to learn the Nix language and package the software yourself. (Which can arguably be said to be a viral feature for getting more software packaged)

To me this was too much work to fit in an otherwise busy weekend and I just had to give up. Had I had more time to do things properly, I would probably have stuck with it.

The concepts it introduces are quite nice and well executed.

This is a really good font.

Is there an analog of this font for Android, anyone know?

Because, if there is a font that is similar enough to this, on Android, then I'll be happy to use San Francisco on iOS, and the alternative on Android. But, if there isn't, I will avoid this font and try to find one which is platform-friendly.

There is no way I'm keen on designing, at the Type level, exclusively for Apple platforms.

That's a play in this 'freebie' that is extraordinarily offensive.

not really an option since it would require that the viewers have the game installed. It's a complete other format for shows that focus on a single game. It seems overkill to burden the viewers with dedicated clients (and a step backwards?) for a problem on the side of the streamer.
Using Redis as Your Main Superfast Persistent Database in Node and Express
Appreciate the comment and time taken to write this.

We do quite like the labels too, but I do recognise, as pointed out by others, that their presence could create a form of bias. I believe that the choice of wording could divide the audience, with some people connecting with the sentiment of each and some people not.

The concept of the survey is a neat idea, and could be a good thing for us try out.

The suggestion of adding in a prompt for inviting team members is also good, if we decide to go down that route.

Thanks again!
