First, I don't work on Depression so I can't really answer your comment in any sensible way. I was just sharing my knowledge of the market. Besides, there are conditions where you need treatment. I don't know if you have ever met REAL people suffering from depression but basically when you have that condition you can't function at all anymore. You can't work, you can't have friends, you can't communicate well anymore and when you reach that point I tell you you'd be glad to be able to take some pills to make you a normal person with normal emotions again. Your comment makes me think you don't really know what you are talking about, because depression can lead to suicide and having the right drug at the right time can really save you. I'm not saying the solution is ONLY about drugs, but when you hit the bottom, it's helpful to get back up.
Thanks - I didn't know about that. Seems rather unfair to the rest of the UK then....
Thing is, for a lot of applications, the structure of the database is _much_ more important than the structure of the code. It's easier to refactor your code later than to deal with a database which is structured incorrectly, since when you refactor that you risk losing the data, have to run change scripts and have downtime, etc.

You can view the database as merely being there to support your program, or you can view your program as being there to manage the database. If it's the latter, then it's not surprising that the database design impacts the design of your code. So we don't keep it at arm's length, because it's much more important and complex than a 3rd party API or even a filesystem.

I am. There's the university tuition, other related (so called "administrative") costs and (of course) time & energy. Also, some "reading" material (mostly books).

Although many (but not most) of my colleagues receive grants or scholarships, it is common (here) to pay the PhD out of your own pocket. But I do live in Portugal, so factor in the economical (but, mostly, social) context.
The fact that species with more cells don't get more cancer is known as Peto's paradox. Perhaps it is also true at the tissue level. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peto%27s_paradox
How many of these sticks, powered hubs and controlling computers would you have to buy to equal one green 1U server? On the order of 64 USB sticks, 15 powered hubs AND one computer... That's 15 cheap bricks and a computer's power supply that have to be made and suck down power versus a quality, high-efficiency switching PSU that is about ~98% efficient. Doing the math on the supply chain sourcing of each component is pointless, because it wouldn't be practical, and at present, it's impossible to source all materials from goods to actual, verified origin (not shady middlemen).

Also, how much power would be lost by all those cheap bricks compared to a single, efficient switching power supply?

It also would be 65 systems to maintain.

Renting a fraction (via cloud/VPS) of a green server (good PUE DCs and LP gear) is far cheaper and greener. But more importantly, waste fewer computing resources.

America culturally is very diverse, and varies greatly from state to state. When a policy seems oddly uniform across all the states, it's likely due to a Supreme Court ruling or federal legislation.

In the case of minimum drinking ages, it's a need for federal highway money that's alive and well in the United States - in 1984, Ronald Reagan tied receiving the full portion of federal funds for infrastructure to having a minimum drinking age of 21. Prior to that, minimum drinking ages varied from 18 to 21 depending on the state - each state set its own social policy, which in my opinion is how it should be.

Digging deeper into the issue, you can see how certain states resisted raising their drinking age, despite funding implications - Wyoming took several years to raise their drinking age, and Louisiana had a loophole that made it illegal buy alcohol but not illegal to sell it until the mid-1990s.

On the PATH, a commuter train from New Jersey to New York, there are public service ads from Mothers Against Drunk Driving against lowering the drinking age, since deaths from drunk driving have dropped dramatically since 1984. Whenever I see one, I get the urge to scribble 'correlation is not causation' on it.

Unless the majority of the population took similar measures, reducing the possibly of it happening to begin with.

I don't think the cat -killing- the baby is really a risk though. Though I would think (though with no authority... looong way from even thinking about having a kid) that when raising a baby, you want to reduce the number of variables to deal with. That cat messing around with your baby (maybe she'll make him cry a lot) seems to be one of those variables you'll try to eliminate and then introduce later whenever your kid is now at 'chase the cat and make her angry' stage or something.

The biggest reason would be that you're building a REST API and you want something tailored for that use case. If you're not building a REST API (but instead for example a web site serving HTML and whatnot), you shouldn't use Falcon at all.

This might not be clear on the Falcon framework home page though, and I will let the maintainer know it might be a good idea to clarify this point.

It’s the definition of sloppy. Rule One of Javascript is that you check every 3rd party dependency before every call.

You run the bailout through bankruptcy courts. The businesses are often normally profitable, so a debt-for-equity swap works for turning bankrupt businesses into operating businesses of some sort. There might be chains of bankruptcies where you have to cram down creditors-of-creditors, but that's the risk they took in these sorts of markets.

Worst case there are power plants and other electric infrastructure that someone needs to operate, and that can be bought outright from bankrupt companies at fair value as a matter of public policy.

strange, a bug maybe?
I work at a mid sized Amazon 3rd party seller. We reprice automatically. With thousands of SKU's there's no other way to be competitive. There are many layers to consider though, you definitely can't let your whole catalog auto-reprice. Usually sellers just focus on their top X% SKU's and let the rest auto-calculate.

I wonder if we have a price ceiling setup...?

Edit: Yes we have a floor and ceiling. I have no idea what I was thinking.
A lawyer isnt really required, but someone who is experienced is. I know a one engineer who does all his own patents. It just so happens that most of the people that are experienced are lawyers. Any process they have will be sufficiently complex such that you need help the first few times through it. But once you have done it a few times, then you can do it yourself.

The Dragon book's weaknessess, IMO, were the code generation and optimization sections. This has been comprehensively fixed in the second edition thanks to the addition of Monica Lam as an author - her experience on the code generation side is extensive and recent.
Just to be clear, I agree with you 100% that accessing other people's best thoughts through reading is very valuable and very awesome.

On the other hand, you don't need a thousand other lives to live one good one. As Thoreau wrote, "It takes more than one day to extract the wealth of a day." And as a Buddhist saying goes, "You can learn everything about the entire universe from the head of a pin".
And that format code for highest quality is always either `-f 140` for the ~128kbps AAC in .m4a container, or `-f 251` for the ~160kbps Opus audio in .webm by default, but adding the `-x` option will seamlessly remux it in to the more widely compatible ogg container with .opus extension.
This isn’t a bug though. It’s a feature request where the devs have already vocally said no. This idea that opening an issue for a feature somehow implies that it will eventually get implemented seems so wild.

If I opened an issue asking Firefox to switch their rendering engine to Blink you better bet it would be closed wontfix and stay that way for a long ass time.

> Now, if the officials themselves could be personally sued...

I would really like to see immunity removed from government officials. The ostensible rationale for immunity is that you don't want government officials afraid that they'll be sued if the exercise discretion. But I that's exactly what you do want. If an official's actions can have a huge impact on people's lives, that official should feel that he'd better be right in his acts or that there will be repercussions for him personally -- just like in the private sector.
I'm curious--did you actually ever exceed it? What I mean is, I've never encountered a Starbucks that actually enforced the 2 hour limit. Sometimes I'm logged out, but I just log back in and everything works. In the beginning I just assumed this was a glitch when they were rolling out the service, but if it was, they never fixed it. (I go to lots of Starbucks, mostly in San Francisco, and some around California.)

Interesting that you feel that way. It's certainly not something I'm worried about.

There are tested competitions.

I'll admit that that doesn't guarantee that no one uses banned substances there, but the finalists are generally quite a bit smaller than those in the untested competitions, so at the very least they're substantially cutting back.
Rather than switching people who already own a car to bikes, it’s much much easier to keep people who bike biking: i.e. India, Vietnam, Indonesia, etc. and not let them adopt a car centric pony of view (as well as students in the US/Can. who are 16 going on 18 and steer them towards bikes.

I expected it to be Open Source, but it is not.

I had a few jobs where I programmed in COBOL when I was in college. Its probably just as well that it's not Open Source, because I was tempted to install it just for fun.

Why someone should think that ML communism equals all communism?
Wait a sec. You can't bust out numbers like that without being clear about a few key points:

1. What was std::vector's removal algorithm like? Are you sure that .remove() wasn't shifting all elements in the vector? The "correct" removal algorithm in that case looks like this: Swap the target element to the end, and then decrease the vector's size by 1. But if I remember correctly, std::vector's remove method doesn't work like that, so of course it will have terrible worst-case performance if it was shifting all elements of the array when you remove the first one.

2. What's causing the worst-case slowdown? Are you sure you weren't simply seeing the effects of the L2 CPU cache being invalidated?

A linked list will thrash the CPU cache constantly, whereas vectors thrash the cache much less since the elements are stored in contiguous memory. For a modern game running on a modern CPU, vectors are almost always the better choice for that reason.

EDIT: I'm not sure your numbers are trustworthy. For example, there's no way it rendered 35859663 frames in 100 seconds. That would be 358,596 FPS.

Assuming your FPS was actually something like 358, not 358,596, that's still an extremely high FPS. When your FPS is so high, it becomes difficult to accurately measure the reasons for worst-case performance. A sudden spike within a single frame could be for any of a dozen reasons, such as CPU cache eviction, a GPU pipeline stall, or some other program on your computer taking CPU resources.
> The universe doesn't need to "calculate" it's systems before it executes them

The universe "executing" is a calculation. The universe is isomorphic to a computer calculating the universe.

> the ability to calculate an equation that models a physical system is different than the physical system itself

This is a philosophical question. Arguably, the physical system is just that calculation being carried out.

Define "too long"? The post says it would take a specialized robot up to 3 days, with no guarantee of success.
That doesn't make sense. The voters already collectively own the treasury of their state. And how exactly is it a requirement for a democracy to exist that it implements your favorite policies?
What disturbs me is the full swings in public opinions. A few years (months?) ago nobody cares, then a US president makes an announcement and suddenly a whole country is full throttle on how bad China is, from politicians to medias, public opinion, internet, even HN, South Park, left or right... Nothing like a good war to unite people and make them not bother politicians?

Why did America make China powerful in the first place by doing business in the first place then? There is nothing new here, China was totalitarian 30 years ago too. I’m not disagreeing with the fact that we don’t tolerate it further, just questioning the mechanism and the sudden overnight war declaration.
Is RISC-V fear is theoretical or is it based on some specific example(s) that happened to them, or some other foundation, in the past?
Most protestants aren't a fan of an excessively literal interpretation either. Modern biblical literalism, where an overly literal interpretation trumps even common sense and observation, is a fairly recent invention (late 18th century, I think), and I, as a Christian, consider it the largest threat to Christianity today. And a heresy, I suppose; it doesn't do justice to what the bible is actually trying to tell us, and focuses only on superficial, nonsensical interpretations that often end up contradictory.
Perhaps a naive question, but in that case, why bother with a blockchain?

If some entity holds the keys to control what code is run, why not let them run the code to begin with? This simplifies implementation significantly, and has obvious scaling benefits.

You can still operate this in a transparent way with multiple independent stakeholders that validates data. Many other systems work this way.
I think the problem is that facebook never had to fight for tracking. Everyone just just got tracked and fb could do what they want. They never cared whether it was really useful, they just tried to show as much relevant ads as possible. A complete disregard for the user-experience thanks to it's monopoly, which also shows in fb getting unpopular (at least in my circles).
> Why couldn't facebook instead facilitate that same small model railway business advertising on the railway group pages, and non-facebook pages about model railways? Why not just tie the ads to the content of the page visited?

You did not succeed in convincing me that the system you describe is not insidious. I think you probably describe it accurately, and it sounds quite insidious to me.

Yes, of course the companies that get government contracts need to be experts at getting government contracts -- the problem is that they do not need to be experts at what they actually _do_, what they're getting paid for. There's in fact very little room left to be experts at what they do, after all the expertise they need to develop (and resources spent on same) in getting and keeping contracts.

If you're a company and your motive is making a profit, then of course there's plenty of money to be made, exactly.

The system you describe sounds pretty insidious to me. "Insidious. adj. proceeding in a gradual, subtle way, but with harmful effects."

The harmful effects are exactly the privileging of expertise at government contracting over expertise at doing a good job. That's harmful only if you prioritize doing a good job, if you prioritize making a profit I suppose it's just fine.

> But like an enormous traffic jam, no single person has room to do much of anything. Coordinating a number of people to try and move in a better direction can improve things a little, until they are stopped by another group who has no room to move.

Yes, quite, that's quite insidious, exactly. It has some unique features to government, but also some commonalities with any large bureaucracy.
