As long as you're (re-)learning math (which is a very good thing), you should consider dipping your toes into Lisp by doing some of SICP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_and_Interpretation_o... note the complete text is on-line), which was designed for MIT undergraduates, who the authors could safely assume were fairly mathematically mature. It doesn't require any math I consider difficult, but it does use it freely. So if you do it, it'll reinforce the math you're learning, show you to some very useful, basic computer science, and incidentally teach you basic Lisp and functional programming.

GraphQL is a query language. It's protocol-independent. It just so happens that HTTP POST is a convenient way to deliver queries. Instead of using an HTTP endpoint, you could just as correctly implement GraphQL directly over TCP, or messaging queues, or whatever you want.
I did not even know this was a thing (without using some less well-known mysql extension like Galera), but just googled and found a brief document from Digital Ocean on exactly how to do this with stock MySQL. And here it is, right in the fine manual, supported since 5.1.18.

I don't know how to ask this more precisely, but how are races and concurrent writes on both masters handled? Is it still "ACID safe" writing across the cluster, or would you use something like this as a hot-spare for promotion in case of failover only?

As I understand it, the idea was put out there because of how incredibly underwhelming the high-speed train plans were for California. Musk noted that even after a decade of work they wouldn't have one of the fastest trains in the world, but instead a mediocre-at-best train with enormous expense. Then something happened and the "nudge" became more real when the press started asking Musk about it and taking it much more seriously. So now they're doing the correct thing and building a space track.

But the US government is not a family. Neither is the Japanese government. This analogy is disingenuous and one that should be eradicated from all economic thinking.

When in debt, the rational thing for a family to do is always cut expenses to the greatest extent practicable (or to declare bankruptcy, I suppose.) This is decidedly not the most rational thing for the government to do in every situation, because it can crash the economy and actually worsen the relative debt load of the country.

The US is not in danger. Interest rates are very low, sometimes still trending into negative territory. [1] The US is a sovereign nation that issues its own currency. The US can inflate its debt away, just as it did with an almost equally large debt in the late 40s and 50s. Granted, the economy needs to be growing more than it does now; in part because of anemic growth, the Fed is struggling to meet target inflation rates of 2%.

What about the indirect costs of being involved in such litigation? For example, missed deals/profit due to one's reduced capacity to work while entangled in a legal mess.
From what I've learned as this crisis began to unfold, Greece's problems are manifold and quite intractable.

Cynics and detractors have already pointed out the corruption, cronyism, the woeful state of pension reform and rampant tax evasion.

A highly favorited comment on a different NYT piece on the Greece deal sheds light on the indifference, there:

I was at my local tax office this morning - I figured that since most people
here have stopped paying taxes, the timing might be good. It took me half an
hour to do what normally would have taken a morning (most of which would have
involved waiting on line).

In the office I was dealing with, both wickets were open, and I could see the
office beyond. Of the five people I could see, two were at the wickets, one was
entertaining a succession of visitors who were not conducting business, and two
were doing nothing. Just sitting there. Nothing.

I was there because I have a new (British) passport. I have a password-protected
file on the Tax Office site, but I cannot change my number myself, because every
such transaction in Greece begins with the assumption that the client is lying,
and therefore this sort of trivial business has to be done in person and the
number verified. Fill in a two-page form and present the passport.

The woman I dealt with - very courteous - entered the information in my file.
Then she printed everything as well - several pages, nine stamps, seven
signatures.

Greece has been promising (to its creditors) to simplify, cut the red tape,
reduce the Civil Service, for years, but things only get worse. Syriza re-hired
the few that the previous government laid off, knowing they didn't have money to
pay for them.

This is a tiny example of why no one trusts the promises of successive
governments. 'Give us the money now, and we'll reform later.'[1]

Let alone this mess, I wonder what had broken the spirit of the once mighty Hellenic people that they should let these national contagions fester for so long, to allow for their nation to be at receiving end of such humiliation.

I particularly want to know why certain southern European countries share this brand of indifference and fatalism about their affairs. I have observed this in Portugal too.

I'm personally in Bozeman, and while Helena has quite a bit going for it, I doubt I'll leave.

However, I would say that Bozeman is becoming quite the magnet for startups - we get a bunch of experienced developers who are sick of working for Oracle and a pipeline of CS majors straight out of MSU. A lot of execs also love to live here with all of the outdoor activities, so they bring a branch of their companies and startups here.

The lifestyle is very different from that of the city (I just recently went to our home office in NY, so speaking from very recent experience). Entertainment here consists primarily of outdoor activities (skiing, hunting, biking, hiking, 2/4 wheeling, fishing, etc) than it does plays, theaters, and museums. You'll also be driving at least some of the time... the nearest store is typically 3-4 miles from your house, not 3-4 blocks. Public transport exists, but not to the same degree as it does in a large city: a bus will visit a particular stop every hour or more, instead of every few minutes.

It's a different pace of life, but I love it.
Bad loans did not cause the crisis.

Bad loans are a symptom of a poor fiscal situation.

No one forced Greece to take out loans.

Consider this write up :http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2010/10/greeks-bearing-bonds-...

This was before the "Greeks as Victims" narrative gained wide currency.

“The way they were keeping track of their finances—they knew how much they had agreed to spend, but no one was keeping track of what he had actually spent. It wasn’t even what you would call an emerging economy. It was a Third World country.”

As it turned out, what the Greeks wanted to do, once the lights went out and they were alone in the dark with a pile of borrowed money, was turn their government into a piñata stuffed with fantastic sums and give as many citizens as possible a whack at it.
The problem with the Maastricht criteria is that they reflect the reality of 25 years ago. They were basically drawn by a bunch of French civil servants (some of them quite young), at a time when France had a 5% ratio and the French government was looking for excuses to reduce it a little bit. 5% was off the table for the abovementioned reason, 1 or 2% would have been too harsh, so 3% was born. This at a time when overall growth in what is now the Eurozone was much higher than it has been almost ever since.

There is no real economic study that says "3% good, 4% bad" (and it would be idiotic, really -- you need many more parameters to judge a State credit-worthiness, as Japan proves every day). It's all about politics.
It's obviously easy to critique in hindsight but I think it's interesting that a theme of the rejections is "not our type of marked". It seems like the investors are somewhat conservative in sticking to what they know which is a little disappointing (I like the response that the investors can't really help because they don't know much about the market).
That suggests that you'll get filtered out pretty quickly on variables like market type which seems pretty unfortunate.
I've always felt like I need 3 hands to use it. It is like 2 controllers welded together. In more complex games I have to constantly change my grip from the outside left to the middle position and I've just never gotten used to it.
If it were purely a negotiation for purchase, I might agree. But they are talking about joining forces. Maximizing the valuation is probably less important than establishing their working relationship.

If it were me, I'd be more concerned with the "working together" part, so I would be open and transparent with what I am thinking, and who I am. If they come back with too small of a number, I could always say, "No." I figure they either will get along well and can come to a mutual agreement on this, or not. Trying too hard to make a deal happen sometimes just isn't the right answer, if the deal would be with people with whom you don't work well.
All rents anywhere in Europe worth living in 2015 are expensive - but London really is one of those cities in its own league.

Just to clarify a couple of things:

350€ is about £250

£400 won't get you a tiny one-room apartment without windows, that would be amazing! It'll get you a tiny windowless room, in a pretty grim house shared with 3 or 4 (or 5, or 6) other people, in an awful or really out-in-the-sticks location. (You can optimise by substituting some of the factors, but any way you slice it, a £400 room anywhere in Greater London is not going to be good).

Probably the baseline for a studio apartment (I've never seriously looked so could be a bit off) is £800-£900 per month for anywhere resembling a decent location.
But the correlation is between smoking and drinking coffee, not receiving a certain amount of nicotine and caffeine. Indeed, the linked abstract talks about gut biome - it's unlikely that a nicotine patch on your thigh is going to affect your gut biome in the same way actual smoke in your throat is.
Unless you are rich, this applies to most "alpha world cities" to varying degrees.

It's weird how Samsung, LG, and HTC are struggling to make a profit on their phones (some have very good phones like the LG G4 which even Chris Pirillo said it was a good phone), but Apple just keeps growing their profits. I wonder if it has to do with how they've limited number of phone models or is it purely brand recognition that's driving this growth.

DNA's resonant frequency is in the gigahertz range, so you won't be able to hear it anyway.

Sound is a bulk movement in some medium. So there isn't a useful concept of sound when you're dealing with atomic or molecular phenomena.

If individual atoms move at all they do it at very high frequencies. So there's no bulk audible movement to amplify.

The equivalent of increasing visible angular resolution would be increasing the sample rate and slowing the replay rate. You can do this easily for audio sample rates, and with a lot of extra equipment and a bit of hand waving you can convert optical or RF sampling to audio. But it still doesn't quite map to hearing in the way that microscopy maps to sight.

Read Gleick, who (I think) covers Feynman's approach and other's reaction to it well.

He didn't read the literature as he liked to be surprised. His sister told a story where she made him do so in one instance; preferred to figure things out himself. Was it inefficient? Certainly, but it added to his legend, satisfied his curiousity and often yielded a more-general solution.

Perhaps it was clarity of thought coupled with his (partially?) hidden self-training and toolkit. Perhaps it was a less-mechanical approach to physics, more intuition than perspiration? To me, Einstein falls into this category as well - the ability to ask pertinent questions and not worry about the answer and the number of apple carts being upset.

Certainly there was an ability to focus that was not common.
It's pretty insane that after the referendum, Tsipras tipped his hat that he still wanted a deal (word is the government never actually did any planning for a new sovereign currency and Tsipras was secretly hoping to lose the referendum [0] ) and Germany came back with one of the most crushing term sheets possible, basically set up to remove Greek sovereignty completely. If you love history, read the term sheets [1].

I expected Greece to be pushed out of the Eurozone just on the term sheets alone. I can't possibly see how this ends without another referendum in another handful of years and a Grexit in the end, anyway.

Is it possible--not saying it's so, just asking a hypothetical question--that Apple just makes more desirable phones?

[Edit] Wow, everybody, I meant more desirable as in; people are willing to pay more. I know FTA that they are only 20% by volume.
A native app is one you download and execute on your computer. In reality it doesn't matter much what gui toolkit you write it in, there is nearly always going to be some xml and styling involved - GTK is native on Ubuntu (I hope you will grant me that), but programs written in it typically uses glade files to design the gui and load and bind event handlers at runtime. Glade is XML.

.net uses the native win32 gui toolkit - but you typically build it WPF, which is XML, styled with XML.

On mac? plists - which is you guess it XML (I have no idea what, if anything, you style a mac app with).

So basically the three biggest platforms use XML to bind their guis with - and there isn't much difference between XML and HTML. Granted when you design XML for guis it tends to be nicer than if you wrangle HTML into that role but this is a programmer, not a user, issue.

In this case I'd look for a recent table alter which involves a blob-style column - queries involving those will always be sorted on disk. Limiting the queries to not include the blob fields, or doing alters to varchar fields (even big ones) will help this out.

Having a daemon which kills off long running queries (such as ones with extensive disk sorts) can help as well, just be sure to follow up on the queries which were killed to fix the frontend or chastise the person doing `SELECT * FROM blob_table ORDER BY id`.
It's probably a mix, they have only a few phones so they're easy to understand ("I have the bigger iPhone from last year" or "I have the HTC One M9" - the former is easier to remember and understand for non savvy people), and better brand recognition - despite being expensive is HTC considered luxury like Apply is?

> Good thing the author wasn't randomly rewriting a file, then, and that the file was deleted and inferably unlikely to be used in a critical operation!

This is really important. From personal experience, there's a lot of bias. Some racism, but a lot of people having bad experiences with "Indians", due to shitty outsourcing. It must suck to get written off because of this superficial bias. I'm guessing more money goes to contractors that happen to be in India vs Indian contractors. (I've lived in a country with a bad rep for a long time, and I make sure I'm not introduced as Michael from <place> - a lot of people are attracted to mentioning it if you're not local, it seems.)

"Use a secondary browser within a throwaway VM with Java enabled to view sites. Also, do complain loudly to the org running that website."

The point is, people lent them that money, without caring if they could or not pay... Those people are demanding their terms to be met, regardless of weather that is a realistic demand or not.

I am not saying who is wrong or who is right, but I don't think the blame falls only in one side. I'd argue that you take a risk when you lend money, and shit happens if you lend to people who can't pay.
No one forced Greece to take the loans. No one forced banks to loan to Greece. Both parties are at fault. Both parties ought to take losses. Only one is in this case.

A common response on this thread has been that if you take away SSH, you can't log into individual machines to debug. But you know the other situation where you can't do that? When your software is running on your users' machines rather than yours, i.e. mobile and desktop apps. I agree with the position of the OP, that it's better to make the software robust by design and through testing.

Which is the more reasonable assumption, then: that people will choose an option that will leave them worse off or better off assuming viable and known alternatives?

Is it not worth asking why they would choose less for themselves? And, if so, doesn't the act of asking why suggest that we assume there must be an explanation that makes sense? Or do we assume that one out of eight human beings are simply not as rational as the rest of us?

I don't know. I wouldn't let the requirement for perfection completely override the reasonable. The alternative is that there is an underclass of irrational human beings. I think we'd be living in a much different world if that were the case.
There is a much cleaner, and safer drug that can reduce the chance of developing Parkinson's, and that is Deprenyl [1].

> Deprenyl protects the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons against selective neurotoxins (6-hydroxydopamine, MPTP, DSP-4) [2]

We know that environmental insults like solvent inhalation and most likely agricultural pesticides contribute to the loss of dopamine neurons in Parkinson's, it seems like Deprenyl has the ability to protect against the damage of some of these, as well as the effect of aging [3].

> These results suggest that (-)-deprenyl and related compounds may protect neurons from apoptosis and be applicable to delay the deterioration of neurons during advancing ageing and in neurodegenerative disorders. [3]

I myself take deprenyl, or its newer cousin azilect for this purpose. It also has the benefit of increasing dopamine and it's a much lower impact focus drug than psychostimulants like amphetamines.
