One of my basic life strategies seems to be: either don't do something, or do it and don't be sorry. I use this all the time, for all kinds of things.

For example, I'm not insightful when it comes to dressing myself. Recently I wasn't sure whether it would be OK to wear black socks with shorts. I thought about it, and decided it was OK, so I do it. Someone might try to give me a hard time about it, but it wouldn't sting unless they thought of something I hadn't.

Or when I write something online, I try to think about how I would talk if the readers were in the same room. I try to be compassionate and fair. I try to think whether what I'm saying is just. Often, the draft doesn't survive the process because I realize I'm just angry or want to be snarky. But if I re-re-read it and I'm OK with it, then I say it, and whatever happens will happen.

Maybe someone will catch me in an error. Then I'll feel bad and apologize sincerely and try to do better, but try not to beat myself up too much. Everyone makes mistakes. No big deal.

If you form the habit of asking yourself whether what you're doing is OK, I think it vaccinates you somewhat against both shallow criticism and self-doubt.

In the cell phone of a Chinese, such messages are ubiquitous. Taking the WeChat app by Tencent Inc. for example, I constantly read messages from my parents sharing such nonsense stories. They wouldn't stop even if you complained as their friends and alumnae shared these constantly. Subjects of the nonsense included but were not limited to: a) pseudosciences, e.g., Japanese scientists discovered that water molecules behaved differently when it was being scolded verbally; b) misinformation, like an explosion occurred or a child was taken by human traffickers, which could not be confirmed or the time of which is not specified at all; c) false/suspicious political/historical rumours which favours their targets (i.e. my parents); d) success stories and other click baits.

These stories were poorly made up but easily spread. Some were made in commercial purposes to attract more subscribers so that their network of rumours could expand. You cannot fight them all. You cannot sue them all. You cannot eradicate them all.
I think there's a flaw in your logic here: the fact that a drug that is targeting the immune system helps so much does not invalidate a psychological component in the etiology. It could be upstream (psychological stress could trigger the immune response that leads to CFS), it could be downstream (CFS leads to mental anguish given a patient's deviation from normative life-course, perceived isolation, and the historically-contested nature of the malady), or it could be both.

That said, a psychological / psychosomatic component wouldn't undermine its legitimacy in any way. Thankfully, I think we are entering an era in which psychological aspects of ailments are recognized as critical, beyond the control of the patient (e.g. not reflecting a lack of virtue or wherewithal on their part), and treatable.
> It's either more difficult to implement this

Something like this should be enough

"topiconesubtopictwo" [label = "subtopic two"];
"topictwosubtopictwo" [label = "subtopic two"];

Or alternatively you can use a counter.

12 [label = 'subtopic two'];
22 [label = 'subtopic two'];

If you avoid spaces you can also forget the quotes (but quotes are safer)

topiconesubtopictwo [label = "subtopic two"];

But avoid to name nodes with '_' and '.'

topic_one_subtopic_two [label, etc...]
topic.one.subtopic.two [label, etc...]

Q: Is it secure?
A: No.

Q: What do you mean "No"?
A: We believe we have done a good job in securing it.

Q: You "hope so", what sort of answer is that?
A: Trust us. It's secure. We are not hackers. We don't want to steal your data. We did not put in any back doors. We audited the code ourselves. There are not any kernel level hacks, root kits, or otherwise. This has been tested against a variety of anti-virus scanners and none of them flagged anything. We're very good.

Uber to Set Up Its Biggest Global Office in Hyderabad

Browserify has an option to avoid parsing a given file so that the Emscripten module can be used as is since it is already prepared for the browser. I would have prefer an option to either build for Node or the browser. I hope it'll be the case soon.

I'm a community college student in California looking to transfer to Berkeley.

I am currently two weeks into the CS 61A Summer Course here in Berkeley and I can confidently say that it is the best class I have taken in my academic career. A few reasons:

1. It follows the mentality of guided discovery. Topics are covered in class, and just enough is taught such that the basis of a solution can be formed, but the implementation requires each person to discover something new.

2. The breadth of topics. The course is 50% students who have never programmed before, I have been programming for 4 years, but still I am learning new things about optimizations, tail recursion, and Big-O notation. If you look at the calendar at http://cs61.org, it goes from "these are variables" to "AI" in 8 weeks.

3. Resources. CS 61A Staff during the summer course if legendary already. They're extremely knowledgeable and very welcoming to everyone. The main lecturers, Albert and Robert, both cover the material well and make themselves available to students of any programming knowledge. There are also dozens and dozens of TAs and Lab assistants which are actually useful, unlike some other courses.

4. Intrigue. I have never wanted to bunker down and learn everything there is to know about recursion, interpreters, and algorithms more than I have in the last two weeks. The way the course is structured, as mentioned above, actually inspires learning in a way that some other topics don't achieve because they follow archaic teaching methods.

Here's to an awesome 61A course.

Because what they'd be "willing" to do is what they'd be designed to do. Why is your toaster "willing" to work for free now? Of course, the work will require resources and robots will require upkeep. But sentience? We haven't figured out what it takes, and I doubt that anything we build would be so similar to ourselves. Do you feel sorry for a corporation when it loses money? Maybe a little, but you'd probably rather save a human being than a corporation.
This sounds like a first-world problem. How about we abolish hunger / fix our food distribution systems or ensure access to safe drinking water? Then we can double-back and end forced labor (the actual demand set forth in the article—somewhat weaker than the sensationalist title).

> You as a human are supposed to avoid getting killed even in cases where you aren't legally liable.

The bar is much higher than that. You are supposed to protect others, not just yourself, and including people who are at fault.

If a pedestrian is jaywalking and you provably have plenty of time and ability to avoid them, but you strike and kill them, you are definitely guilty of something like manslaughter. Although people somethings believe otherwise, the law (and morality) do not have the property that initial minor transgressions by one party absolve the other party of all fault in a resulting interaction.
That just means we move the bar a little further. We write an answer for programmers who know next to nothing about cryptography and security measures.
> firing of the key employee may of been stupid, but not deserving of some of the hatred being gleefully promoted

It's sort of like a dream of every good employee that works for a shit CEO though. Perhaps there is some cosmic justice here and something that will be more common in the future. Where individuals are valued more and the leaders held my to account for all their tiniest failures. You know almost exactly the opposite of how reality works these days, where sociopath CEOs and founders ride on the coat tails of hard working employees and dump them when they've outlived their usefulness.
This is a law that will never help a single person, and eventually will be used and abused against people the state finds undesirable. Really sad to see freedom of speech being killed off yet again in an idiotic pursuit of an illusion of safety.

> I think your conspirator's OP comment "As a non-OSX user, I don't care about your UX" is more vain.

Sure it's vain. We all have personal priorities. People suggesting that Mozilla spend time developing the perfect OS X product are expressing their priorities as well.

I could say that I'm a BeOS user and I really think that Firefox should have a fully-integrated native UX because the way a product looks and works is important. But no one cares about BeOS UX because they're vain.

It looks like OS X users are the only ones who really care. Windows users have been dealing with non-standard UIs since tabs first stopped being MDI, and, comparing Chrome's adoption with how it looks, they're mostly fine with them. Linux users are mostly just straight-up crazy and Firefox is fine for them. Smartphone users have seen more non-standard than standard UIs and it doesn't seem to have been a problem for the Facebook app. The question is then is it worth caring as much about OS X UI, or is it more useful to make a better product for the 80+% of users who don't use OS X?
Not really, since lots of satellites have technical requirements for polar orbits or are otherwise not following the least-energy, eastward orbits. Even if two satellites are traveling within 5 degrees of the same direction, their relative speed is still over 1,000 mph. (LEO speeds are over 15,000 mph.)

> As much as I love racket/scheme/lisp, I truly believe that the 61A (sans-s) where python is taught, helped me much more for my career/future just because it was taught in python.

It's not what you learned that's the problem, it's what you didn't. You almost certainly missed out on things that you could very well never see again, or even know the existence of (at least for a very long time) unless you were motivated enough to go discovering stuff by yourself.

Did you ever learn about macros in Python? I doubt it, because they don't exist. Did you get introduced to metaprogramming -- the idea that you can write programs that generate more powerful programs? I doubt it, because it's hard to do that in Python. But The old 61A, which used Scheme, did just that. They added an OOP system --- yes, that's classes, inheritance, methods, constructors, etc. --- to a language that never had one, and they even taught you the basics of how it was done. [1]

This is something you can't even dream of doing in most (all?) languages that aren't dialects of LISP. You won't even realize it's a possibility, unless someone teaches it to you or unless you're lucky enough to stumble across it and realize its importance.

i.e., you won't know what you're missing out on.

Whereas with Python, there's not much you're missing out on: there are a ton of languages like it that you're bound to see them later in industry, if not Python itself, and learn what you would have learned anyway.

I've always assumed you can press the brake post fact to prevent rolling into an intersection, which I assumed was better than absorbing a lot of G-force.

Fundamentally, I think, if the impact is too strong for you to be able to react in time to brake before rolling too far, you would have rolled into the intersection despite holding the brake. Except it would be a skid not a roll.

I could be wrong, obviously.
That fact is much more interesting than his resignation letter :)

The world isn't so black and white. We don't have to have everyone working on solving clean drinking water and nobody working to improve the quality of life for people in western countries.

Consider the implications of most western people having more free time. If we had an extra billion people on the planet who didn't work full time but decided to dedicate some of their free time to trying o solve some of the issues you're advocating we spend our time on, that would be a net win wouldn't it?
Well that depends in where you want the momentum to go and how rapidly do you want to and can afford to dissipate it, does it not?

I mean, if the impact is strong enough, you'll be sent flying whether you are or aren't holding the brakes. Just that if you're not, your steering wheel is still going to steer.
I was taught to engage the hand brake when stopping at a junction or lights for this reason, a rear end impact would generally be at low speed compared to the speed of the potentail traffic in the crossing lane.
I agree with the gif optimization. It's on the todo list. The most important part is actually the x and y offsets for each frame, like you said: the damage to the image. It should be possible since ttystudio uses a blessed terminal cell buffer, which already has some code that could be borrowed for damage checks between frames.

The APNGs already use a palette (3). RGBA (6) is opt-in only. Although, it should probably just be RGB if people want to use it since the alpha is useless for terminal recordings anyway.

The only reason the --rgba option exists is because I ended up OOMing the process once or twice when compiling palettes for huge animations (1000s of frames) - this is before palette generation was optimized more.

An important question if you believe in the abolition of work as a worthwhile goal: how do we get there?

I hope we're all suitably convinced by now that revolution doesn't seem to work that well, which leaves some kind of iterative evolutionary approach.

For that to work, you'd need it to be feasible for a small group of non-workers to see better outcomes than they got from working, while still interoperating with the (much larger) group of workers.

So what would that look like?
Perhaps you'd prefer Bertrand Russell's "In Praise of Idleness", which uses clearer language to express much the same sentiments.
