Perhaps they would encourage smart people to go against their instincts and breed more.

Same here. It's the only one that I've tried that actually syncs correctly with gmail and handles multiple accounts well.

Which electric sharpener do you use? Thanks!

Check out airtable.com for something like this. Great product, lots of use cases.

I've been working full time on a rails app for the last 2+ years.

About 3 weeks ago I dove into Elixir for a big rewrite of a side project as a learning exercise. In the beginning it feels strange, mostly because of the functional way of thinking required and some new types to get used to (structs, keyword lists, etc.). Once you get the hang of it however it feels really, really nice. I dread going back to my rails app now... Others in the thread have stated most of the reasons why so I won't go into that.

I'm looking forward to launching this re-written side project in a few weeks and seeing what the performance is like. (This is currently a stale Django app). Running locally in dev mode the performance (Phoenix) seems like it will be excellent.

I understand the discomfort that people have with the notion that an autonomous car will make such life and death decisions. However, I feel like it's obviously better for such decisions to be made ahead of time in a thoughtful, collaborative manner than by one human driver in less than a second when something goes wrong.

The truth however, is that the decision will end up being made by some opaque neural net that's been trained by the actions of other human drivers in relevant situations. It'll just "react" the same way that we do. Coding specific logic into such edge cases is probably unrealistic.

I know a couple of hypochondriacs that actually might like this.

It also may make sense for the elderly.

For everyone else it doesn't seem to make much sense. I get a checkup once every year or two and that's pretty good.

If you're on a mac the Network Link Conditioner is a great way to test your stuff on a simulated slow connection.

It should be fundraising.

"The disparity between real-world factory output and Musk’s goals likely means that many of the nearly four hundred thousand people who have already put down a thousand dollars to reserve a Tesla Model 3, which Tesla says will cost about thirty-five thousand dollars, will have to wait until 2019 or later for their cars. "

Extrapolating from the Model S and X to the 3 is probably a mistake. This will probably be true of those at the tail end of the reservation list, but I have a feeling the majority will see their car in 2018. And, of course some reservation holders will not actually buy the car, trimming the list.

This question is a bit vague. These days the short answer is: don't.

To do it economically you need some advantage, usually through cheap access to electricity. So if you live near cheap geothermal or solar energy it could pay off. Even then you need specialized hardware.

This city simply needs less cars. Everything non-commercial should be hit with huge tolls/fees. Bloomberg's congestion pricing was a great idea, too bad it was stopped.

I have loved this talk for some time and have forced everyone at my company to watch the video.

I found a lot of parallels with this "Hammock Driven Development" talk by Rich Hickey:

They both seem to suggest that you have to put in the effort, do the hard work and dig into the problem deeply. But then when you hit a wall, you should take a break. Relax. Play. Sleep. It is often during this "open" minded stage when the solution comes.

Why do you need handouts?

Is there some easy way for me to automatically cross-post my twitter posts to Mastodon?

What an unfortunate attitude.

My app helps people build better eating habits through these sort of positive reinforcement techniques (although virtual rewards in this case). So far the results are quite promising.

Hope it saves you some time!

Let me see if I can get it working again, it was a while ago. If so I'll try get it up on github for you.

I've built one. It worked nicely once loaded but I found it took too long to initialize when switching between keyboards so I ended up going purely native. For your use case this may not be an issue however.

I did tone down the frequencies some to be more Manageable. Even a 12 second break every 15 monutes or so does a lot. And it doesn't break the flow much at all

I've found the "Time Out" mac app helpful to force myself to take breaks and stretch/stand/rest-eyes periodically. I disabled the Skip button recently which has been a bit annoying but valuable.

Also, years ago I started using a trackball mouse instead of a normal mouse (or the laptop trackpad which is the worst for my wrist). It has helped a ton.

My father and I went to cub scouts when I was younger. Very quickly in the first session the religious focus arose and my dad said, "Ok, we're outta here." (We are jewish/atheist)

It's a shame to make something like this religious because I think I would have really enjoyed everything else about the scouts. I'd do the same with my children in the future if the tone is the same.

The latest version 10.12.1 of mac os gives you this option. In modifier keys in keyboard preferences.

This doesn't seem to be working for me. The slider is not draggable. Hitting repay does nothing?

I just gave it a try because of this comment. Found the UI rather confusing actually. It only showed me one flight? And, that was almost double the price of what I booked yesterday (and found via http://hipmunk.com which is my personal favorite tool that I think has an excellent interface)

Agreed. Monthly seems like a much more natural timeframe for book recommendations than weekly. Trailing 30 days would probably be the best for the homepage. Then allow browsing by calendar month.

Which government are you talking about? You realize this article is not about the United States?

There's definitely something in the air...

Shall we call it session-based search perhaps?

A judge quoted in the article said, "my educated guess is nothing will happen before the next president is elected."

Presumably he's talking about selecting a replacement to the supreme court. Is this accurate? How long does this process typically take?
