It's nice to understand this, but I fail to see it helping much in practice. Sure, you'll know why the thing you want to do is hard for git to do, but that wont make it much easier.

And without knowing even further implementation details, it's a bad idea to rely on this knowledge. For example, the article states that committing a rename separately from edits in the renames files helps git track the renames. But that's not obviously true from the discussion above, because it's not obvious if, when computing a diff between two commits, git will follow the entire history or just apply the diff algorithm on the two commits.

If it were the latter, then it doesn't really matter which order you commit things in, git would simply see commit1: fileA, fileB with contents cA and cB; commit2: fileD, fileE with contents cD and cE, and would do the quadratic work anyway, even if commit1.5 had fileE, fileD with contents cA, cB.
At least for me, reading is not enough. It gives some good context, but actually using that knowledge to accomplish tasks helps to solidify that knowledge. Viewing my knowledge as a network of interconnected nodes also helps me reason about it. Reading a key/value dictionary from start to finish doesn't leave enough interconnected nodes for that information to persist long. Knowledge seems to solidify when it is connected and linked to other bits of knowledge but islands of knowledge seem hard to retain. E.g. Those seemingly random windows api calls are easier to remember when you know of their Linux equivalent, in what cases you call those methods, what other methods call that method, what methods that method itself calls, what happened last time you called those methods, etc. I doubt they remembered them because they read the source code once and have a photographic memory.

So what costs a lot of money to run? The university, or the hotspot?

b/c it seems the startup special sauce are the founders, not the cafe they meet up in. And other than a meeting place, how else do they benefit from the university, without the university having some stake? Even if they are students, they pay for the privilege.

> maybe the initial assistance

initial assistance in the form of a loan? Or something more subjective?

> the enabling factor

The local water company also enabled those founders to meet, but I don't expect their compensation to go further than the cost of the water bill. What kind of skin-ion-the-game do you expect the local government to have? Also, if a bunch of founders foster a startup culture ultimately benefits the area, are they owed compensation, or is culture free for the state?

SymPy is fantastic and impressive and I am a fan. It however does few things better than the program it is directly trying to compete with, namely Mathematica. This gives me scary flashbacks to the early 'Linux on the desktop' advocates, whose main argument was that it was all 'free' in every sense of the word. As we know now, that simply was not enough to switch the majority of users.

Do people see a space where SymPy can realistically flourish?

In relation to the panic you quote, this isn't a panic over the price falling - it is equivalent to one stock exchange back then stealing your money and going insolvent.

The challenge here is that the Bitcoin system is built on faith. If enough faith disappears, so does the value of Bitcoin. In this manner, it is similar to a bank run.
I believed in Mark (the owner of MtGox) and his team, defending them vigorously, and got screwed as a consequence.

The support staff was on IRC every day saying "Yes, we have customers' funds. No, we aren't insolvent. Everything is fine, everything will be fine." They answered every question in a level-headed fashion.

They were either being paid to lie, or being fed lies, or somehow MtGox didn't become aware of the fact that they were missing >700,000btc until a day or two before they shut off their website.

So I was pretty gullible. And I just want to thank Patrick (patio11) for being a constant throughout this whole ordeal: constantly skeptical, and with good reason.

The problem is the point of view. Towing a trailer of considerable length requires mirrors that stick particularly far out. If your vehicle doesn't have them front the factory then you can buy clip-ons that attach to your current mirror.

You're not just trying to see your blind spot, which becomes considerable with a trailer, but you're trying to be aware of what's behind you.
Ever since that cement bridge collapsed at Florida International University a few months ago on top of cars, I've been wondering if any type of car could withstand the force of such a scenario.

They're not considered humans, no, but they're considered to have distinct identities, personalities, etc. Figuring out whether all that counts as personhood might be splitting hairs.

As far as the Nicene Creed goes, adherents believe five persons (unique agents) are mentioned, and it's not especially long, so I'm not sure there's much to read into the Pilate reference. It could be in there to imply historicity.
I definitely appreciate the intent of it, and think measuring along that axis is incredibly important (and rare). But as someone who continually struggles more to dive into some codebases than my peers, I can say that this task is far too easy and wouldn't help you gauge my ability to do that at all. Something that requires implementing a new feature that isn't a near-mirror of an existing one (ideally one that requires a bit of thought at the design level) would probably be a much better measure, but I don't know what that might be for something like memcached.

That's because the look of a Lamborghini is one of it's core signature elements. They could design a very nice looking car, but if it doesn't look like a Lamborghini, then a lot of their client base would be disappointed.

You'll notice this pattern with many of the really high end cars. Some signature elements are always present and evolve only very slowly over time. You could call it the master stroke, it's what makes a particular brand distinct from others. This is deliberate and I for one like that.

A complete newcomer can design whatever they want right away.

Lunatic? Well, I avoid making statements about my own sanity. But people sometimes decide that they are superhuman, or that others are subhuman. The ancient Greeks called it hubris.

There's definitely some legacy family land holdings, but I don't know how much that effects the market. I would like to know, but I suspect that as you touched on they're making money off rents, maybe lending.

What I was getting at are the houses that are bought and the mortgage goes into a CMO[0] or a CDO[1] because the new owner really had no business buying a house in the first place but they're "getting into real-estate" and the bank found a way to get paid for writing really questionable loans. Why are people without money even in the real estate market? (See the 2008 financial collapse for more details.)

And that's just the worst of it, there's still the more legitimate case where people move their wealth into real estate because it's a good medium-term investment. I can't fault anybody for that, but I do believe it raises prices for everybody.

There's more. Probably just a cheesy way to write a paper you'll retract / rewrite anyway?
It's missing the forest for the trees though. It's a superficial statement to say that the 'creation' in education is the course notes. What an educator creates is understanding. It's not a physical object, but it's still something that was not there before. The course notes may not differ from year to year, but the same can be said of the blueprints for common models in 3d printing - the blueprints are not the created item.

Taylor Mali has a great rebuttal on "what teachers make". In context, 'make' means 'salary', but the rebuttal works just as well against the idea that day-to-day education isn't a creative endeavour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxsOVK4syxU
We live in a four unit building and one of the units just went on the market. The former tenants cleared out everything for their open house and just brought in some minimal, modern "staging" furniture. It was astonishing to see essentially the same apartment layout but with none of the stuff — a kind of bizarre alternate reality. It prompted our new year's resolution: we will get rid of (at least) 5 things a day for a year. So far so good, and we've cleared off and removed an entire set of shelves.
it's probably the strongest evidence I've seen so far that there has likely been a persistent rules violation.

That's only true if ball inflation tracks with fumbles. There have been lots of assertions that's the case, but I haven't seen any evidence.

Two counter examples:

- If you look at AFCC, that's Patriots had 1 fumble in the first half playing with an underinflated ball in dry weather conditions, and had zero fumbles in the second half playing with properly inflated balls, and in wet conditions.

- Aaron Rodgers is on record stating that he likes his footballs to be inflated as high as possible. But if you look at GB's fumble data in the link, they're #6 behind NE in total fumbles.

There are a whole bunch of confounding variables here, including coaching techniques (look at how Tiki Barber's corrected his fumble problems in one year after coaching changes).
I can think of three ways LSD might influence music production:

1) LSD can cause synesthesia, especially music related synesthesia, which can definitely influence the creation of music in my experience.

2) It can be incredibly inspirational and emotive.

3) It can allow you to explore subconscious worlds and use previously inaccessible information.
I'd be very wary about using ThemeForest for anything past a landing page. They keep changing their ToS for SaaS built using their templates.

To me it sounds like you don't like the work you do, and going to university to do an undergrad won't get you a better job (assuming you still want to work in tech?). The best way to get a job you might like more is to learn some new skills and pivot your career.

I'd also like to mention that going to a prestigious university has generally no bearing on the jobs you get, it's the people. As a result hiring companies (in the tech sector) don't really care where you came from as long as you can prove your value.

> Trump is currently not mentally-ill enough to be unfit for the Presidency. Of course, that's decided at the Capitol, so it may change after he directed violence toward it.

No, it's decided in the White House Cabinet Room (well, metaphorically; by the VP and Cabinet, wherever they are located) initially, under the 25th Amendment; Congress isn't involved until he says he's all better after he's been temporarily removed, where if the Cabinet disagrees Congress resolves the dispute.

Whether he is too criminal to continue in office is decided in the Capitol, through the impeachment process, though.
You're being naive if you believe that Russia and others didn't already have a field day at the Capitol yesterday. I wouldn't worry as much about what these guys took from offices and server rooms as I would worry about what little digital gifts these guys may have left behind in the offices and server rooms.
> Facilitating peer-review, being selective, indexing content, archiving and copyediting does indeed cost money.

Sci-Hub and arXiv both manage to be useful without peer-review (not everything these sites host is a pirate copy of a paywalled work), without being selective, and without copy editing. They archive and index, and each seems to do it much more cheaply than Elsevier.

That does not look like a 10 micron scan...

Edit:

Here is the source for the claim: https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenScan/comments/gfottc/10_micron_...

It seems this might be the theoretical error that you can get when the system can identify a feature perfectly, and when it gets a usable reflection from that point at enough angles.

But this is not the case for most points on any real object (i.e. not a chalk-coated gauge block), so you're definitely not going to get a model where the maximum error is 10 microns.

The results are certainly impressive, but hackster.io is taking liberties with that headline. It's not a realistic accuracy and the author of the project doesn't really seem to be making that claim.
No, not really surprising. Uber used classic anti-competitive pricing tactics to drive competitors out and consolidate market share. As the marginal acquisition cost of a customer declined, they had to start burning more and more cash to keep their market share. In order to stay solvent, that money had to come from somewhere. Some of it comes from VCs, but alot of it comes from the "efficiency" of squeezing drivers, offloading the cost of maintenance and insurance, etc.

The only innovation was exploiting regulatory sluggishness to nationalize the taxi monopoly instead of a series of regional (and heavily regulated, for this and other reasons) taxi companies. I'm also not sure that Uber has a significantly better idea of what demand is compared to the New York taxis who have been doing that business for ~100 years now. None of this is to defend the taxi companies either - Uber blew up in popularity for a reason, but they aren't profitable because their economic model doesn't work if they have to pay their workers fairly.

Food delivery seems more straightforward as a largely unnecessary middleman, but comes from the same broken, VC-subsidized model. They acquired customers using anti-competitive pricing models, then they lost customers as they started charging the full cost of service. In addition, the food delivery companies have less incentive to perform, because the restaurants take the blame when something goes wrong. None of that is efficient, or worth the tax being placed on them. I don't think very many restaurants are benefiting from an increase in business, and the companies aren't making money by lowering costs - they add huge fees to every order, so things cost 50-60% more than they would if you picked it up yourself.
This was an advantage to me at the time. My ISP (Internode) had enabled dual-stack v6, and a few of the other options I was looking at on LowEndBox came with a NATed v4 address. Here was Vultr offering an IP I could fully control, even point real domains to!

I don't know if this is still the case, but I also got no SSH logspam from bots trying to log in on a v6 host.
That's great, can't wait to get you on the product! There are a lot of features you can use around creating indexes, it's not required that you invest.
That's great but gig work is possible without false self-employment. Most European countries have laws for this. That's why you see articles like this.

Eat operates similar to Uber Eats here while paying a higher wage than Uber Eats after they payed social security and provide a bike. Meanwhile Uber eats drivers have to pay social security and their vehicle from a lower wage. The social security is what keeps them off the street in the case they are out of work or disabled.

Why are some people defending companies that try to go around existing labor laws by claiming their employees are different contractors just because everything is done over an app?

Luckily our laws are relatively clear and the courts will probably keep on ruling against Uber.

I agree that having to choose between flying and getting groped/strip-scanned or not flying is ridiculous, and I'm happy that he and others were able to circumvent this.

But he says they were using Millimeter Wave Scanners, which as far as I can tell, and contrary to his argument, do not use x-rays. That letter refers to another type of machine, x-ray backscatter scanners.

Which of course always bugged me. Not just because of what I know of biology, but the second sentence.

"Combined with a form of fusion". The thing we understand to eventually provide abundant clean unlimited electricity (okay, relatively speaking).

It's a bit like saying "The human trigger finger can exert 300 pounds per square inch of force, and perform over 500,000 foot-pounds of work. Combined with a standard-issue pistol-grip chainsaw, the Zombie-Hunting Academy had found all the weapon it would ever need."
Yeah, but then you were at Oracle.
Not stupid, but they either didn't understand or relied on the placebo effect and didn't perform experiments that were actually useful at distinguishing helpful from harmful or useless medicines - AND communicate that information to others. When an ancient remedy turns out to be useful, it's not useful until we rediscover that it actually works. The idea of science and sorting out mysticism from reality is fairly new in most of the world. In China, doctors in public hospitals still prescribe untested herbal remedies and diagnose diseases without any idea of the effectiveness of what they're doing. Patients just trust authority, tradition and popular belief. You could argue that the same is true to some extent in the west today too - see general "have some antibiotics" prescriptions, and cough and cold medicine.
Promises are also just syntactic sugar to make your code look more synchronous, you can do everything with plain callbacks. Which I find ironic with the article that he argues against that but still just stops at the next turtle, instead of following his own advice and actually learning how Javascript and it's runtime works.
