Very interesting link! There seem to be huge CH4 emissions coming from China in particular. I wonder why?
Interesting thing is that `(a >> 1) + (b >> 1) + (a & b & 1)` works correctly for signed integers (if `>>` works like in Java, filling most significant bit with ones for negative numbers). With division you'll need to write different expressions depending on operand signs. E.g. (-3) / 2 + (-5) / 2 + ((-3) & (-5) & 1) = (-1) + (-2) + 1 = -2. But ((-3) >> 1) + ((-5) >> 1) + ((-3) & (-5) & 1) = (-2) + (-3) + 1 = -4.
Shimon is the name of the bigger marimba playing robot and the Shimis are the smaller robots. The smaller robots do indeed autonomously generate dance moves to the music, but they are also improvising. Some parts are precomposed (bass lines, drum parts, chord changes), but the lead robots during each section play music that is machine generated.
I'm happy to see there's been a lot more discussion lately in Silicon Valley and entrepreneurial communities, in general, about the importance of role models who are people of color and women. This article only covers one side of that (not that it is less interesting or touching for not covering the other side)...the other side is that until white folks in our industry, or in other industries, are regularly seeing and interacting with people of color and women in leadership roles, we will likely continue to allow unintentional biases to affect our decisions and our workplaces, probably to the detriment of all (but mostly to the detriment of people of color and women).

There have been a number of studies showing the unintentional white supremacist thinking that even folks who think of themselves as progressive and anti-racist exhibit (and even people of color and women can fall prey to these same biases against their own race or gender). That perpetuates a cycle that can only be broken by visible disruption of the cycle. i.e. people who aren't historically in leadership roles, who aren't historically in tech roles, being empowered and successful in those roles.

Note that I'm not making governmental policy suggestions here. I'm making cultural and systemic observations. I don't know the solutions, really, but awareness and acknowledgment of the problem is certainly one of the early steps.

Anyway, I loved having a good barber shop. I haven't found a good one since moving back to Texas, but it really is a nice thing to have a regular barber who does a nice job, and knows and cares about his community. It's unfortunate that there are so few barbers left...they've been replaced by the chain haircutter places that hire people straight out of beauty school; those businesses are rarely worker-owned (they rent the chairs, or are part-time employees), and rarely have any significant ties to the community (though they are often franchises, possibly owned by someone in the same city or, at least, the same state).
Or, maybe Stanford counts on parential guilt? They have quite a big savings account. (Stanford’s $21.4 billion endowment (as of Aug. 31, 2014), and grateful donors give the school close to a billion dollars a year. I don't know how many full scholarships Stanford gives away per year, but I hope it's a lot?

Not bad! You need a better word-removal algorithm though. You need some natural language processing that can detect nouns, and remove the nouns. Other than that I'm intrigued :)
Almost any organization can find employee much faster than 2-4 years. So there is no sane reasons to pay for somebody's education, especially when there are chances that person can be expelled.
Do not implement finalize() with side effects.
Better to not implement it at all, as recommended everywhere.
Wait, what did the person you argued with do wrong? I don't understand.

> Take the recent Hong Kong protest for an example, almost all people I know, including the highly educated people, are "tricked" by the censored local newspaper and are not on the same side of the HK people, and that made me sad and irritated

As I understood it, the HK protestors undermined their own support within China with their racism and condescension toward mainland Chinese and the perception* that they never protested autocratic British rule. If I were a Chinese citizen, even if I wanted the same things as the HK protestors, I wouldn't support them out of self-respect.

*I say perception to give HK the benefit of the doubt. A quick Googling didn't yield anything except an unhelpful Quora answer.
Peter Thiel would be proud of your business and dating approach Aaron (it's a "zero to one" approach). No doubt there will be a woman out there who sees the ad, and then joins your exclusive dating club. But my question is this? Can the women see the other women on your app, if not you should consider renaming your app to "myharem".
Thanks a lot for writing this. It really gives me a lot of hope for the future going forward. I'll keep this in mind!

Going by your experience, it looks like persistent efforts are key to breaking in the industry. I'll just keep going on & hopefully things will pan out okay.

Thanks again for replying!
When you choose a "private" post it mirrors the old functionality of imgur.
Nice work! I appreciate your tone, the project, and everything. Heck, I appreciate you man.

Also this is a great idea and really needed. It’s amazing that something so simple is hard to implement without the shady factor. Resist the temptation to grow and take VC and do all those things that will sour your soul.
Still, being "friendly" and "well-liked" is an important skill for later. People tend to not want to work or have sustainable relationships with people they can't stand.
Seems like it worked? Most people don't find anyone to be in an actual relationship with.
I have a friend who used to work for one of the bigger dating app services. He is an AI expert and wrote the matching algorithm for the service. He is very good at his job and his algorithm was so good that people matched, got married and stopped using the dating service. The higher ups in the company noticed the loss of revenue and asked him to make his algorithm worse so that people would match, date, but then break up and go back to their service. He proceeded to quit his job.
Oh I see now. The mobile version loaded differently this time. There’s a shopping cart in the upper righthand corner for some reason. The desktop version is the same.

It's all pretty easy. Every country seems to have their Craigslist equivalent where you can find apartments to stay in for a short term (a month or two). I've spent a lot of time in hostels in the past, which are a fun and cheap way to live as well. If you're new to long-term traveling those would be a good option to get you started because you meet lots of interesting people. But after a while you kind of need your own space and living in a 20-bed dorm stops cutting it, regardless of how cool the people there are.

Since I rent rooms in apartments they usually have their own kitchens. I cook for myself or go out with friends to eat.

The rent varies greatly from place to place. I've been told by many that Munich is the most expensive city in Germany. I rented a big room in a rather small apartment in a great part of town (next to Ostbahnhof) for 150 euro a week with one roommate That seems to be about the right price based on the other offers I found. In Belgium, I lived in a small town just south of Brussels. I rented a room from a retired couple who lived in a 3-story country house with a huge, beautiful garden and massive kitchen for 100 euro per week. They were frequently gone so I had the house to myself. In London there's a website called Gumtree that's like Craigslist. I found a room for 160 pounds per week. It was much harder finding a room in London than anywhere else because everything is outrageously expensive and everyone seems to want a minimum 6 month stay (I'm only here for 3 weeks).

In Belgium you can get a bottle of 12% Trappist for ~2 euro; in Germany a liter of beer for ~6 euro and a pint for ~3 euro; in England a pint for ~3 pounds. Food at the grocery seemed cheapest in Germany, where I never found myself spending more than 15 euro in one visit that would last me a few days of eating well.

So, after you convert euros and pounds to dollars, you can see that it varies a lot. In England in particular the conversion rate is killer--something like 1.6 dollars to a pound right now.

My advice would be if you really want to do some long term travel, just buy your ticket and do it. It's really extremely easy to figure things out once you arrive somewhere. You can email me at my username at ucla.edu if you want any more info.
There seem to be a a lot of people that think I'm talking about race -- let's be clear I am not. I am talking about economics, drug problems and desperation. Regardless of race people who are desperate will take desperate measures.
Pot won't work long-term. The problem is that your body will build resistance, and you'll have to use more and more of it.

Young whippersnappers! My first PC didn't have a hard disk, and my second was an IBM XT with 10 megs, only 4 of which were usable.

I learned to program on punch cards, standing in line to feed them into a system that occupied a large room and was probably fairly state-of-the-art for 1973.

And when I say that I exclude the one Basic program I wrote even earlier on paper tape.

At least this machine was at UCLA, so I won't say that to get to the computer I had to walk barefoot in the snow, uphill in both directions ...
Now this is something worth pondering. Now I can painfully see how idealistic and incorrect my thoughts on this subject were for so many years...
You say "python doesn't pretend to be strongly-typed", yet the OP is claiming it _is_ strongly typed.

I think the reality is "strongly typed" doesn't really mean much.
I wouldn't write a video codec in python either, nor would I write code that requires a huge amount of shared volatile state, but these things are not common coding tasks in general, particularly not in enterprisey-type programming.

> Maybe I don't know or don't like to program in C?

If you want to write a video codec or highly performant multithreaded code, you should probably give it a go.

>Of the 'numerous ways to sidestep the GIL' none are satisfactory if you have a CPU bound problem operating on shared state, that lends itself well to parallel execution, which are many.

You mean exactly like the matrix calculations done in the C extensions of numpy?
One problem is that angular 1.x is considerably more complicated than react. There's John Papa's style guide [0], but IMO it's not great.

There's an angular review [1] that I believe hits the nail on the head:

"Angular wants you to build your application in a particular way, but it’s not very explicit about it. Call it “passive-aggressive architecture.”"

After using angular for over ~2 years, I'm far happier with react (and a flux implementation, if doing something more complicated). You end up with far simpler code and more maintainable code.

The fact that the angular team itself is doing a complete rewrite that throws away almost all the fundamentals of angular 1.x shows a clear recognition of the many flaws present in it.

Since cars do not have rights, nor do the plates, the reasoning is they are not violating your personal privacy. Courts and Police have so twisted the law as to deprive our rights by stripping our association with our property. Sadly they can simply initiate forfeiture against property still protected by the law.

There hasn't been sufficient push back to stop this erosion. Worse there isn't sufficient push back against government agencies holding back information which they are bound by law to surrender.
You're the first to confuse it for sarcasm on this forum. Your tone seems to be presumptuous and uncordial (possibly a learned memetic behaviour from others with similar opinions when asked to elaborate with simple explanations of their view), so I'll take the hint and stop replying.
> They effectively bet a full generation of laptop sales on the premise it would be a success

They didn't - they obviously had tested performance of these CPUs and knew it was excellent before deciding to switch to them. They were only risking whatever amount they invested.

PowerPC was unpopular and dying. ARM was the most popular instruction set on the planet before Apple developed M1.

Apple has tight control over software on their platform, they say jump, everyone asks 'how high. Apple dropped 32 bit support overnight and everyone has to deal with it. Microsoft still has support for 16 bit software in Windows 10. Open Process manager on Windows, Discord, Steam and much of other software is still 32 bit. No-one is compiling for Windows for ARM, Noone is using their Store. Some corportaes are still on windows 7, the world took 15 years to get off windows XP and I have seen some ATMs still running on it. Very different market.

Except, renewables+storage also cost less; and cost is still in free fall. Soon, synthetic hydrocarbons will be cheaper than most mined/refined/shipped, where that stuff is still needed at all.

Aircraft using LH2 will drive kerosene-driven out of all high-profit routes as quickly as they can be built and fielded, because besides being the cheaper fuel, per joule, LH2's extreme mass-energy density leaves much more of rated lifting capacity for paying cargo. I.e., the LH2 craft will drive prices below the base operating cost of kerosene craft.

Retrofitted and new NH3-tanked shipping will similarly drive out the still bunker-oil driven as NH3 price falls, accelerated by dockage for polluting craft becoming increasingly restricted.

Plastics might still be made from the cheapest of pumped oil, but that is not certain.
BTW, you do know that typical suburb lots are closer to 1/8 than 1/4 acre, right? (Atherton and Greenwich are NOT typical.)

> The suburbs encircled the places worth caring about.

How do suburbs keep SF from thriving?

Apart from giving people someplace else to go that is.

When people leave cities for suburbs, they're saying that they prefer suburbs to cities, that they don't prefer what you assert that they prefer, that those "iconic neighborhoods" don't serve their needs. (Those neighborhoods are just as walkable as before.)

> Now we can’t have any more of the places worth caring about because to do so would threaten the historic fast food joints on their peripheries.

You're seriously arguing that McDonalds in Daly City doomed SF? It wasn't Long Island that destroyed Penn Station.

> London’s role as a center of civilization and culture is more important than its role as an architecture museum.

You're ducking the question of what 10M more people would do to London.

And you gave up on the "iconic neighborhoods" which were so important just a couple of messages ago.
I'm constantly amazed at the amount of bad engineering traffic engineers come up with. For example, there's a street near downtown Denver that has a stop sign that has a blind 270 degree off-highway-ramp with no stop that racers frequent. You're expected to keep an eye on every other direction and hope you don't get blind sided while pausing at the stop sign by someone going over 100mph off the highway from someone you have to extremely uncomfortably look behind you and around cement blockers for.
Yes, but sending compensation to a person in order to meet (unless they're a confidential informant) is usually seen by law enforcement as suspicious.
That's like saying that any Turing complete language is equivalent. Some languages encourage you to do things well, others do not. It was totally possible to write code with a lot of "GOTO" statements in it that was well structured, but the actual real-world results with it were bad. It may be possible to use FB in a constructive way, but that doesn't mean we are better off having it.
Patents have an expiry date because the patent office agrees that monopolies are bad. The purpose of a patent is to allow an inventor to establish their market, not to establish a monopoly.
there's no operator precedence if you don't have (multiple) operators that could precede each other. In LISP-like languages these are simply functions (or more correctly, forms) which have other expressions as arguments, like any other functions or forms. LISP works just fine without much of the things we take for granted in ALGOL-like languages.
Maybe the custom routing from GraphHopper is what you want:
https://www.graphhopper.com/blog/2020/05/31/examples-for-cus...

You can eg. avoid primary roads additionally to motorways and tolls.

(note, I'm a co-founder of GraphHopper)

Not only for car but also for motorcycle, bike, walking, ...

Can be further tweaked with preferring/avoiding curvy roads or elevation.

And GraphHopper also supports round trips.

By any chance have you tried Linux Mint? I find it well polished and useful, in that the environment just works and gets out of my way. It helps right where I need things to be done for me (like looking for proprietary drivers and extensions, or just the right set of config choices in the System Settings applet), and otherwise steps aside to let me focus on my work.

Been using it since 2016, and I'm now in the verge of upgrading to the latest, but I would be open to other Debian or Ubuntu derivatives, if they bring an even better experience than Mint.

Opinions?

Keepassx is compatible with keepass. You can also run the new version of keepass on mono.

Your business seems remarkably similar to AirBnB. The only problem I noticed was on your 'about' page. It loads hundreds of thumbnail images (pictures of the "locals"), so it takes far too long to load.

"I'm looking to find some market/industry statistics."

Not necessary to prove its a big market because everybody knows there is a demand in this space - no point selling that point.

You can just go by how much revenue you can steal from big companies: "30% of Match users leave before meeting someone", "LavaLife has $x million is revenue that has been growing for at this rate", "Personals in papers and Craigslist have x number of users, trying to do y but can't".
I don't know about you, but personally I think "crack one person's password in one day" is a much better situation than "crack everyone's password in one day".
I'm not convinced that the flextight (talking about what used to be Imacon, right?) options are a complete substitute for wet mounting, because wet mounting will reduce the appearance of scratches on the film itself, but eliminating the glass doesn't fix that particular problem.

Ah, so this is focused on Physics.

Can't look a gift horse in the mouth, but I'm not sure of the intended use case for such a guide. Normally you need a pretty formal foundation in Physics to get much value from it, which is why I hopped on the discrete math picture (lots of people do programming without any need for a formal math education).
I would definitely be interested in watching more of these if you come out with them (or if if others are interested in making them.

> This is moving the goalposts a bit.

I don't think so. My original comment was focusing on stack overflow errors, but my wider thesis is this:

By and large, strict languages trade off some level of syntactic convenience for easier, local reasoning about performance. And I am willing to accept that hit. So for example, yeah sure maybe you have to do a mechanical transformation of a recursive function to either use a trampoline or an explicit stack or rewrite with an iterative loop, but that's an acceptable trade-off for me.

Stated another way:

The cases where a lazy language can cause weird performance issues are harder to debug than the cases where a strict language can cause weird performance issues.

Indeed the fact that a library is all that is needed to patch up a lack of language primitives makes me more willing to accept the trade off of syntactic convenience.

index = zip [1..]

vs

index = Stream.zip (Stream.from 1)

or even conversions to and from lists if you really don't want streams elsewhere such as

index xs = Stream.toList . Stream.zip startIndex $ streamedXs
where
startIndex = Stream.from 1
streamedXs = Stream.fromList xs

is a sufficiently small price for me to pay to gain back local performance reasoning (I mean in this case I'd just write index with a fold to begin with in a strict language).

> interleaving effects with your streaming

But the issue that effects are supposed to be values in and of themselves (i.e. if I really take effects as a value seriously, why must my machinery change when I have a list of IO actions vs a list of integers?). This is really a symptom of the deeper issue is that there are a lot of things that should be strict for other reasons that can interfere with purely lazy lists or other structures because they basically represent this sort of weird interleaving of strict and lazy needs (this is why e.g. foldl' fails without strict data fields).
It's probably the same answer as cars and cell phones. Not sure why there needs to be a farmer angle.

Well it’s easy to assume that big companies do the work you’d expect. But I think the bigger the team, the less they care about all aspects.

Especially with A/B tests, because they are just temporarily
