Yeah I think I understood the intention. In that case it's a plot of conditional probability rather than probability density.

I wouldn't change the article, it's clear enough and it's not like they're accurately plotted graphs, just sketches to get your idea across.

Edit: By the way there is a distribution that describes something which is similar to a poisson distribution but with a changing rate, it is typically used for failure rate analysis (time before failure modelling) but could also be used here to describe time before bug discovery: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weibull_distribution
Yeah, to me the benefit was not the actual ideas I had while tripping (which were generally less profound than I thought at the time), but just experiencing a truly different state of mind. It was also pretty interesting having the subsystems of your brain (visual, spatial, temporal, etc.) kind of clearly delineated for a little while and having it really demonstrated to you that they're all different parts of what makes your mind "you".

It's not something I'd recommend doing for a very long period of time, but I think a lot of people would get a benefit from doing it a few times and going to a nature environment, having philosophical discussions, etc. with friends.

I suppose this is the benefit of not knowing Russian and having to watch it subbed. It ends up being hard to notice (I certainly didn't).
Of course. Slowing down the timeline was exactly the goal. There’s a massive difference between Covid cases coming all at once and the same number of cases being spread over two months, especially given everything you can learn in those two months.
In order to prevent disk copy, the games make use of "fuzzy bits", also known as "weak bits" or "flakey bits"

Reminds me of the "weak sector" protection used on CDs, of which there was much technical information written on a few years ago; sadly a lot of that has somehow disappeared, but I managed to find one explanation of that scheme:

http://web.archive.org/web/20090603002402/http://sirdavidguy...

(The explanation there is not completely correct - the problem with more 0s than 1s or vice-versa is DC bias, since the signal from the read head is AC-coupled; here is another article that might help to explain that better: http://ixbtlabs.com/articles2/magia-chisel/ )

I recently compared my Shure $150 SRHDJ head phones to my roomates $500 or so sennheiser hd 650s plugged into a $275 preamp and can honestly say the difference was hardly noticeable. I'm not an audio pro but I'm a musician with a good ear who has had a lot of kinds of headphones. For the money I can't justify sennheisers. Anything by Shure has been top quality, I've had a bunch of their stuff.
I find it hard to disagree, but after "mindlessly" opting in to the transfer, I was skimming the terms and saw heavy protection on the bookmarklet of all things. That little bit of javascript that pops open a window and sends the URL, selected text, and some other stuff in the query string. Why is that worth protecting? It's javascript!

I also preferred the "if you find stuff you don't like, go away" position as opposed to the "now users, don't do stuff people might find offensive" position.

They also don't seem to want me to be able to devise my own way to crawl their site, which has implications for backing up my own bookmarks if there isn't a convenient mechanism to export going forward.
There are many, though for my money the main competitors are Ohm (lousy website, great products: http://www.ohmspeakers.com/productline.cfm) and the DCM TFE series http://www.dcmspeakers.com/products/cabinet/tfe200.htm .

Pair with heavy-duty 2-channel amplifier like the Onkyo M-282, or a decent Denon, Harman Kardon, NAD, etc. home theater receiver.
this reminds me of one of PG's articles where he says something to the effect of - pursuing a startup is like taking a lifetime worth of work and condensing it into a short period of time. In the end you hopefully end up enjoying more of your life by getting all the work out of the way.

Under the doctrine of counterforce targeting, major cities wouldn't be attacked so optimistic scenarios estimate "only" 20M dead in a US-Russia exchange. Of course that's just one possible doctrine that Russia could follow. The real issue is not any one number but the probabilities of different scenarios.
I love this segment of an interview with Charles Eames regarding design's need for constraints:

Q: Does the creation of Design admit constraint?
A: Design depends largely on constraints.

Q: What constraints?

A: The sum of all constraints. Here is one of the few effective keys to the Design problem: the ability of the Designer to recognize as many of the constraints as possible; his willingness and enthusiasm for working within these constraints. Constraints of price, of size, of strength, of balance, of surface, of time, and so forth. Each problem has its own peculiar list.

No you're not. I enjoy restaurants, regardless of whether they're chain or indie. If it's good it's good, if not, not. Bonus of chains is that if it's good one place, it's probably good in most places.

qualitatively, I don't see much difference between investing VC cash vs investing parent company cash.
People aren't paid according to their merit, they are paid according to the market value of the good or service they produce. A history major might have "merit", but they might have to go to law school to leverage it in the market.

The social policy conclusions are thrown off by this assumption that people should be paid well because they are smart.
Why not just send CD's?
It seems to me that procrastination is possible in just about any quadrant of the map except the top right. Relaxation can cause procrastination, albeit a more pleasant procrastination than apathy or worry. If anything, I'd argue that relaxation causes worse procrastination because of the "I've got everything under control" feeling it gives you.
This is outstanding.

I think the infuriating logic goes something like this:

1. If the shareholders held a gun to my head, can I make this profitable? Answer is probably yes but for some tiny profit.

2. Do I see any other big prizes I can spend money on given I'm running a company with this skillset? Ans: Yes, but I still have lots left so what the heck.

Plus, if they return money to shareholders in dividends, its waaaay less fun.
I worked in the citadel of machinery to promote luxury brands - in GQ, my wife - in Vogue. And we have a very simple view on this matter - if you share the view that there are luxury brands, and there are the usual brands, then propaganda reached up to you. And this discussion is very sad, because here assembled smart people, well aware that the main thing - it's functional, not design, and luxury designed for people who do not understand it.
Do you use a project management tool right now? Have you tried out the various PM tools available? Are you a project manager? Have you found irks in the tools you've used that frustrate you and that you've not found a good solution for?

Answering "no" to any of these things should make you think twice about attacking the problem for profit. Answering "yes" to them all might indicate you should build a minimum viable product that solves the problems you know about in the simplest fashion possible, then you can try this out on some friends or acquaintances who could benefit.

I wonder what the legal consequences are when you log into the accounts of someone who stole your laptop (that you can still access via SSH).

Are you even allowed to snoop on what happens on your laptop locally?
Yea, I agree. Just because a Corvette Z06 is a bargain compared to a Ferrari 430, doesn't mean most people won't still think it's too expensive.
If you could find some way to model the price vs demand you could then figure out how elastic the price is (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_demand) then that would tell you which price is better.

"Racket's interactive mode encourages experimentation, and quick scripts easily compose into larger systems. Small scripts and large systems both benefit from native-code JIT compilation. When a system gets too big to keep in your head, you can add static types."

Impressive.
Ideally, I would get a combination of the two. I am hoping to apply what I learn in my classes to real world projects.

It's a really nice way to get a lot of really influential people on your side I'd think. By letting the media outlets have control over the dissemination of information it gives them a lot of incentive to stay on your good side (see: gizmodo not being invited to the keynote).
It's much, much more than that - these are math library functions that do what you want, and are such that the obvious implementations using the obvious math functions are dangerously unstable or inaccurate.
Right, thats the best way for now. If you still have trouble, feel free to email me (email is on my profile).
Better examples of good compiler optimization would be other than math loops. Math is kind of shooting fish-in-a-barrell. Where the compiler shines, is when it optimizes thru necessary abstraction. Sure you can hand-code a flat struct, but you rather have objects with ctors etc. (insert favorite abstraction here).
I probably should have been clearer. By "substantive" I meant substantive enough not to be flag-killed. In most such cases we typically replace the title with a more neutral one and, if the thread goes flamewar, penalize it. It's rare for a controversial post about programming to get killed outright, unless it's obvious junk.
Armies do not melt into the civilian population at the first sign of trouble.
Whenever this has come up in the past, on other forums, it's been speculated that Valve is so profitable that it can get away with more or less any management structure at all and hence doesn't really serve as strong evidence that this particular style really works well or not.
A terrorist, I seem to remember, is someone whose main political tool is the spread of terror. A bombing is not terrorism unless used in the pursuit of political gain.
If "terrorism" is to retain some specificity, I don't think you can include very old-fashioned war crimes in it. Slaughtering civilians during an attack or pillaging cities after a victory are millennia old types of atrocities, and I'm not sure they need to be recategorized under a neologism.
It depends on what research they're doing. It's also quite easy to be led astray and produce poor work by trying to throw the newest, shiniest thing at something when a much more basic technique will do.

For example, for much of the work I do, you could get away with never using anything more sophisticated than ANOVA.

QM is obviously very true in the sense that it makes useful predictions (in that sense, truth is somewhat a quantity). But it is arguably very inelegant in its seemingly ad-hoc introduction of probability. Naturally, one would hope to one day get a more principled explanation of this randomness.

What would be needed to make physicists search for such an explanation? Some kind of pattern in the "randomness"? Say, photons behave more like particles on Monday mornings?

Linguistic prudishness outside of specifically around violations of the Second Commandment isn't particularly tied to Christianity.

As “shit” is not, even in the broadest Christian interpretation, a name of the Christian God, that doesn't seem to be the basis of any filtering of that word.
Agreed. We get a lot of these posts submitted to /r/reactjs . The only ones I find to be halfway decent are from LogRocket - the posts are usually of reasonable technical quality and on topic.

+1 not an April Fools joke. I rented a few goats to clear a big section of invasive blackberry in my backyard.

Two weeks of goats over two spring seasons and the stuff hasn't come back.

Yeah, it does. I have 8 GB memory, and an Intel G3xxx CPU. I am baffled by how slow it is. For people who do not believe me, I am willing to record it, but I have to go to sleep now. :/
True, but for a cpu bound task like this VM typically causes only a 10% slowdown. You aren’t going to see an order of magnitude faster execution on real hardware.

The article makes it look like compilation is almost instantaneous. It’s not. Cached artifacts are rather hefty as well.

V8 fares surprisingly well given that it’s not a specialized WebAssembly runtime. Wasmer should probably watch competitors more closely.
Well, let me just say that they'll never taste quite the same. Obviously you'll need to renovate parts of your house over time, but as I summarize it to my friends, I care most about the parts of the renovation I you won't be able to see. How is the paint job behind the wall-mounted heater? Did they clear up rubble in that space under you kitchen? Did they tile over your old tiles (usually easy to see) and do you now have small spaces between the tiles where water can collect over time?
TBotNS doesn't become faster paced or more action packed later. If anything, it becomes more challenging since book requires reader to remember the details and actively seek solutions to puzzles the texts presents. However, you and your tastes in literature might have changed since 80s so you could give those first 100 or so pages a try to see if your perception of them changed.
I built a Covid-19 vaccination dashboard two days ago using only Google Sheets, Google Data Studio and some very basic html & css.

Vaccination data is currently updated daily. I still do it manually but will have an automated solution for that soon. :)

There are many other dashboards already out there that are much better than this one! I just wanted to see how fast something like this can be built. I will add more features, widgets ands graphs soon. Also mobile usability is not that great at the moment.

Looking forward to your honest feedback.
Thanks,

That is my understanding as well. At least the "optimistic" version as described seems like a standard sidechain.

The important part, who gets to publish this chain and if and how that can operate in a trustless manner, is not described here. That makes the ZK proof seem misplaced. If it is operated by a trusted third party, why bother?
I was chatting to someone on Twitter about just that and I had previously noticed the absence of Google in the data set so it's on my radar already. I'm curious to see what shakes out from their submission.
Perhaps at an extreme point, but most white collar crime is dealt with by fines and licensing rather than arrests and jail. E.g minimum wage laws.
It's easily observable that colds are more common in winter (at least in temperate climates where winter is the cold season). I've just always had trouble buying the argument that "people spend more time in enclosed spaces" in winter. At least not a degree significant enough to make a difference.

I go to an office and spend the same amount of time in it in the winter and in the summer. Employees at meatpacking plants and Starbucks baristas don't get to work outside in the summertime. Children still go to school, their school days are just as long, and they don't have classes outside even if the weather allows it. You still have to walk the dog, whether it's summer or winter.

All the outdoor activities that are easier to do in warmer weather just don't seem to be universal enough to explain effects on a whole population. Most people spend very little time hiking outdoors. As a fraction of the total number of people in the entire country, the number of people who play tennis outdoors is probably tiny. Drinking at the bar versus drinking on an outdoor patio barely seems worth mentioning. Maybe the cold epidemics are driven by agricultural workers who stay indoors in winter? At least they're pretty numerous, there are more of them than there are tennis players...
This is that different problem. The author's description is muddy, but you do need the counts.
