Keith Mumphery, a once and perhaps future pro football receiver, stands vindicated, cleared of charges of sexual assault that nearly wrecked him. When last seen on the football field in 2016 with the Houston Texans, Mumphery was building a career as a wide receiver. The university agreed to a settlement in May that gives Mumphery an undisclosed sum and — more importantly — wipes clean his record, which could allow him to resume a pro career.

After the giant mammals had died out, if an avocado tree was lucky, a jaguar might’ve found the fruit attractive—the cat’s stomach is designed for digesting large hunks of meat, leaving potential for swallowing the avocado whole, though there is no evidence to support this idea. The fruit had a larger pit and less flesh than today’s avocados, but it really served as a quick snack for big mammals like the mammoth. The avocado has been a staple food in Mexico, as well as Central and South America, since 500 B.C. Spanish conquistadors discovered the fruit from the Aztecs in the 16th century, but the ahuacate, the Aztec word for “avocado,” wasn’t grown commercially in the United States until the turn of the 20th century.

His first year, he invested nearly $80,000 in planting maize — but without irrigation, a dry spell wiped out the crop. This year his farm is on track to break even for the first time, he said. After years of working to engage youth and women in farming, she became a farmer herself.

Every action, activity, hobby, or ritual is nothing more than the pursuit of a certain mental state. Meditation’s crucial promise—the ability to take the reins of the present moment—spells out lesser attachment to negative mental states and increased mindfulness in daily life activities. One may describe their early childhood as an undeniable period of:

Which was followed by an adolescence of:

With their later teenage years having the distinct sensation of:

As formative mental states stack up over the years, a macro snapshot of our life can start to look something like this:

As we reach our golden years and our stacks of dominant mental states have reached their zenith, entire lifetimes could look something like this:

When broken down into experiential pieces, life is merely the sequential accumulation of various mental states.

As with all good research papers, the intellectual contribution of a systems paper is much more in the ideas and wisdom the paper contains, and much less about the specific artifact (the implementation) it describes. Problem definition: a good systems paper describes a system’s requirements in terms of goals, non-goals, and constraints. Example 3: Google’s recent HDR+ paper expresses the system requirements as a set of guiding principles for determining what algorithms were candidates for inclusion in an modern smartphone camera application: be run fast enough to provide immediate feedback, do not require human tweaking, and never produce output that looks worse than a traditional photo.

At least one Vim trick you might not know

I’ve been using Vim for eight years and am still discovering new things. Exobrains, on the other hand, stuff Vim full of plugins, functions, and homebrew mappings in a vain attempt to pretend they’re using Emacs. First, Vim’s default statusline is

Just look at how analysts are talking about cars these days:

“The industry is right now staring down the barrel of what we think is going to be a significant downturn,” Bank of America’s John Murphy told a conference last week. But The Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders (SMMT) reported that total car production in the UK was down 45%, year on year, in April. Read more about the decline of cars:
