I was happy with the feel of the 2017, however after a few months a couple keys got stuck to the point of it being unusable. I took it in for repair at the Apple Store, and after repair, touching the ID sensor would cause the machine to freeze. Soon after, more keys started getting stuck and I just put the thing in a drawer and pulled the 2015 back out, which is what I'm typing on to this day. I've been using Apple computers exclusively since the lciii in the early 90s, but my next laptop will not be a Macbook.

i wonder if it is because the username...

Appreciate the reply, thanks!

I have chronic kidney stones (over 100 at age 30) and would absolutely pay $2000 for a personal ultrasound. Often it is difficult for me to tell whether it is just a rough passage (extremely painful but not a medical emergency), or a large stone obstructing my ureter causing hydronephrosis (medical emergency). With a personal ultrasound, I would be able to look at my bladder and see urine flowing from the kidneys to rule out blockage and prevent a trip to the ER. Granted, I'd probably still have to go to the ER because it is difficult in the states (in my experience) to get access to adequate pain control in a non-emergency setting.

thanks kindly, i have chronic kidney stones and also do not have a good sense of thirst. i'll certainly be using this.

Thanks a lot for the reply, really appreciated.

Hello, I'm hoping for a suggestion for some math courses that will help me understand these questions.. I only took algebra in high school and didn't go to college. Since, I've looked at a couple things (basic proofs, lambda calculus) but quickly was overwhelmed. What is a good starting point for someone who can reverse and exploit all sorts of binaries but does not know what a derivative is? Just start on Coursera? My other question is - what can I achieve with this knowledge? What use is it? What problems can I solve? I think one thing that kept me progressing learning code was I could see what I was looking to achieve and I reached it. I learned it because I wanted to understand it. When I look at math, I see something that I will never be able to understand... There is a part of me that has a strong desire to learn it but the other half tells me to leave it alone. Is it understandable in the same way programming is understandable? By learning the syntax?

This is a great read that sums up many criticality accidents and their causes over the years - "A Review of Criticality Accidents" https://www.orau.org/ptp/Library/accidents/la-13638.pdf

Completely agree with this sentiment... I'm extremely disappointed by even the consideration of this idea by the core team. This could be a very hard but valuable lesson for both the community at large and the core team, but instead it is turning into a political drama fest in complete violation of the principles this entire idea was founded on.

Hah.

I actually just noticed this yesterday when realizing that some commits to my personal repository on an unrelated-to-work project had my work account's username and picture, even though I used by personal account key. I guess this uses the global email and name settings, and github matches the picture. I got a bit worried that this stuff would start appearing on my work organization's timeline.

This might be a silly question, but why do we need Mozilla to build this system? Is it a matter of trust in Mozilla and a greater likelihood of adoption if Mozilla is the organization providing this service?

Gwern, what would possibly compel you to do this?

My credit union has an article on their FAQ on how to connect to mint :)

This is straight up trashy.

Does this apply to e-Estonians as well?

I prefer my own garden from the ground up, but I still eat McDonalds!

Same here, was a coder on a WoT MUD called Dawn of Time. Most of the old frameworks have custom memory management systems, and I learned a ton about debugging C code doing this. I've been mudding since I was a little kid, and think about starting one up from time to time as well, even going so far as to build a few basic ones in python. This python telnet library is a legit starting point - https://code.google.com/p/miniboa/

I don't think 'guys' just refers to males.

I've hitched a good bit around the US and Mexico as recently as 5 years ago. In some parts of the US, it can take hours (or even days) to get a ride. Most truck drivers are no longer allowed to pick up hitchhikers. Mexico was a different story. It wasn't a problem getting rides all the way from Mexico City to Guatemala, even through Chiapas.

in addition to the free or cheap parking ($5 for a tie down), sometimes smaller airports even have courtesy car or two that you can take around town if you are just visiting for the day.

Funny, I was just thinking about that.

Although skeptical about it going into the project, I've deployed a virtualized oracle rac environment over 10G NFS and with some tuning it was stable and performant. If it is good enough for rac, which has some of the most stringent latency / performance requirements that I've seen, I'd say that it is probably good enough for quite a few production use cases, although to be fair this was only an 8 node cluster.

Didn't see that, but ended up eventually tapping the right arrow just to see if it would do anything and it went to the next slide.

More details, appears to have been possibly a doubletap -
