He appoints the regulatory reps that are alligned with his policies. Add personal dynamics and diplomacy and you have a rather big role.
godmodus··on Doctor who fought a risky medical procedure has died
I see your point and its valid.

But damn man, cancer cells are known to spread like hayfire. I imagine using a blender like instrument on cancer would be an obvious disaster.

Thank you for the contra though, i will give this more thought.

what a horrible idea, implementation and careless disregard for patient safety.

whomever thought this was a good idea should be disqualified.

godmodus··on Our understanding of the way the body handles salt may be wrong
taste + pleasure centers in the brain.

used to be useful when we were huntergatherers!

these days, it's just nice for food to taste good!

godmodus··on A Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming (2010) [pdf]
yeah, it's a reference, if anything. not a practical "read" per se, but hey A+ for effort.

i get by using 4-5 commands and neovim, it's plenty for my sysadmin needs.

if you want a short 30page read that has most things, there's the red team field manual! i recommend having a copy

amazon link > Rtfm: Red Team Field Manual: https://www.amazon.com/Rtfm-Red-Team-Field-Manual/dp/1494295...

it's a no frills collection of commands grouped under topic/use case. command description is left to the user to lookup using the manpages.

godmodus··on Our understanding of the way the body handles salt may be wrong
basic osmosis - water washes out the body's minerals. esp. tap water.

add a bit of salt to your tap water - it helps to retain water and doesn't flush out your deposits.

too much water and too much salt are both bad! had a dude in my village die after drinking around 5 liters on a dare - nervous system failure. it was so severe that he couldn't be saved.

godmodus··on Our understanding of the way the body handles salt may be wrong
human habits include many activities that consume a lot of water too - if you drink alcohol, salt consumption on that day/night is a must!

i find adding some soysauce to a cup of water and chugging that before bed takes care of most side effects.

and food does taste better with salt added, i must admit, esp. meat.

godmodus··on Ammonite: Scala Scripting
Building a rest API for a DevOps platform wont be easy in bash.

Scala is also less verbose, easy todo FP with and its very natural to do system/db work with.

Its basically a better java for me.

godmodus··on Ammonite: Scala Scripting
Its amazing for anything internal,

I import it using sbt/ivy and load the console/run an ssh session!

godmodus··on Ammonite: Scala Scripting
We use ammonite everyday! Its a great tool!

Li has a patreon I advise anyone using ammonite to checkout!

godmodus··on DevOps is a culture, not a role
Linux basement monkey/Sysadmin supporting a dev Team and soon clients, here!

I dont care about nomenclature. I chose my weapons, and i can do fine with them; jenkins, artifactory, puppet, docker, vagrant and ammonite. All strung together using scala and bash scripts. Github MDs for docs and svn because it was there and the lads and ladies here like it.

Anyone can choose a stack. They just have to get good at it.

VALAR MORGHULIS!

godmodus··on Why do many math books have so much detail and so little enlightenment? (2010)
https://www.amazon.de/Die-Architektur-Mathematik-Denken-Stru...

it might not have an english translation, but there you go man

here's a good reads link with all his books http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/745580.Pierre_Basieux

godmodus··on US Government Fears Another Explosion Of The Ransomware Plague It Helped Create
Sure, lets ignore deplomacy failures and the CIAs misdoings in actually enabling and even partially triggering that pathway and make sure we endanger the whole planets network to get an edge in a war were too proud\patriotic to think differently about.

That way of thinking is whats making us need cyber weapons. Not to mention it shapes foriegn policy.

Them working with the industry on making your country secure doesnt seem like a bad alternative.
godmodus··on Why do many math books have so much detail and so little enlightenment? (2010)
Because they assume a false premise (hah! Does this count as a pun?) and take a high road. Best series of books i read about matg tgst really helped me were the "for the practical man" series of books!

Another book i recommend that helped me was "the architecture of math" by pierre basieux.

These books really assume nothing beyond the ability to read and do a great job!

godmodus··on Bill Gates questions worth of space exploration for improving humanity (2013)
Tech developed for space is whats saving us though. Push for space -> more science in general. Fewer skeptics. More educated folk.

Have to disagree with big B on this.

Woo, saving this.im planning a similar ptoject once im done with my studies.
godmodus··on Fwaf – Machine Learning Driven Web Application Firewall
Trigrams are a known sweetspot. Its a practical heuristic. Got no proofs to link. Wrote awikipedia semana parser and witnessed similar results in practice.

Going above 3 adds very,very little precision while guzzling space. Using 2 shows a drop in precision.

Probably has todo with how human built systems are built (we make them in our image - and we seem to have a thing for 3s - map(subject, verb, object) -> (origin, data, destinstion) etc)

Addendum; if you know what PCA is, id wager that added n gram dimensions share a linear dependency with lower dimensions - so sharing a statistical resemblence (covar(A,B) -> 0) that adds very little to the data's variability once you start adding dims above 3.

godmodus··on New Distros Coming to Bash/WSL via Windows Store
Npm is broken for example, it's apath exception when it looks into the os api. It expects linux defaults. The npm guys are trying to f8x it last i saw. Shame the module causes that. Itll trinkle down to many other Tools.

Hope for fixes for stuff like npm, too.
