I'm torn. If it were my family member who died I would feel different, but your logic about people not panicking is compelling.

However, these feel like probes for a long term project in which an attack on multiple fronts is coordinated after the softest parts of the underbelly have been precisely determined.
So your position is that 18th century intellectuals didn't have an accurate perspective of 18th century Africa?
Compilers can give us a warm feeling when they help us enforce invariants at compile time, but those invariants can only be applied on information known at compile time. pointer values cannot be known at compile time.

not_null gives you the illusion of creating compile time invariants based on dynamic values. But that's impossible. You can still pass a nullptr to a not_null parameter indirectly which will assert at runtime. It just prevents a user from passing nullptr directly as a function argument. It provides no advantage to pass by reference. If you pass a null reference (you gotta go out of your way to do that), it will fail at runtime just like not_null. not_null does provide a consistent way of doing assert(value != nullptr) but an assert is clearer imo, not_null hides the assert away from the programmer and adds ambiguity. You can forget to assert just like you can forget to specify a parameter as not_null.

int *x = nullptr;
int **value = &x;
func(*value);

This will compile just fine, but will assert at runtime.

If the program state cannot proceed when one of the functions is passed a nullptr then assert in the function and make it clear, otherwise check for nullptr condition and proceed accordingly. You can forget to do that just like you can forget to increment a value.
I don't think that's specific to Sweden, sadly.
Actually infrasound is pretty bad for you. At the right frequency around 18-19Hz you start seeing ghosts. Substantially lower can really do a number on you too.

Obligatory response from Graphite contributor and author Jason Dixon who is shouted out in the vividcortex intro.

http://obfuscurity.com/2015/11/Everybody-Loves-Graphite

Personal response:

I've used Graphite, OpenTSDB, Ganglia, Cacti, and a bunch more solutions. Recently, work transitioned from OpenTSDB to a hosted solution from a startup called Wavefront.

https://www.wavefront.com/

This has been a smash hit.

Scale matters. If you are a small shop, and can workaround the atrocious UI shortcomings of Graphite by all means, go for it. As you start to get larger, OpenTSDB looks attractive. We went too far down that path but were able to quickly (< 3 months) transition over to Wavefront and haven't looked back.
My point is that you can easily forget to declare a pointer as not_null and revert back to the old habit of declaring it as int*. The responsibility is still on the programmer.

Austin and San Antonio opted out of deregulation.
> Most mediated settlement agreements have the same clause.

After you have come to an agreement. Arbitration clauses usually make that requirement before there is even a dispute. There's a pretty big difference between requiring that you try to come to an agreement out of court and requiring that you give a third party the power to make legally binding decisions that you don't agree to.
Great book, by the way.
Anecdotally I dispute this. I used to drive a 2001 make Kia Rio (Korean car) I had many aggravating and expensive problems with it (power steering, Clutch and finally gearbox) It had a moderate amount of KM's on it but not excessive. For first 7 years I had no problem but after that every six months something seemed to go wrong with it.

I now have a Toyota Yarris it is about to reach 4 year old mark so far no problems.
Agreed. I clicked because I was curious why people stopped liking the carbon form.
Beware that his example of boost::optional is, as far as I know, wrong. He returns an empty student, which you can't test for (unless your Student() has a way of telling you that it's default-constructed, and when a default-constructed Student is in fact the same as a 'null' Student). Instead of return boost::optional<Student>(); he should have done return boost::none; .
If they are using Mathematics to make court judgements (which granted, he's not...but he's still a judicial officer making comments about an going case) then it would behoove him to know that probability can only ever be measured between 0 and 1. That's the most OBVIOUS thing about probability I can imagine!
The brokers (Uber and friends) are clearly fighting over what they believe will become a future monopoly. Subsidies are going to leave the impression of higher demand to the drivers and ultimately you will have too many drivers in the market and only one broker (the other will be out of money). This is where the price paid to the driver will drop and the broker can yank up their fees.
Yes they do. For reference, check Sipser.

Enron took advantage of the situation to be sure but California's deregulation plan was truly laughable. Retail prices were capped forcing PG&E and Southern Edison to pay whatever rates Enron and Dynegy could force by manipulating supply. Utilities were also banned from buying long-term contracts to stabilize prices.

The whole process was practically designed to fail.

I highly recommend looking at Keogh's work, particularly the iSAX and iSAX2 stuff: http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~eamonn/SAX.htm

While it is used for machine learning, it actually makes a lot of sense to follow a similar approach for more general time series applications.

Fully agreed about "what C is". Many, many sins have been committed in the name of saving keystrokes or making things temporarily easier. That little voice in the back of your head telling you that something might be a bad idea? Listen to it, it's probably right.

On handling out-of-memory conditions:

- Yes, you can do it

- It's also hard to get right, in the general case, for large systems. It's often a pyrrhic victory

Most systems I've worked with have simply restarted, rather than risk getting complicated recovery logic wrong (and winding up in a worse situation -- corrupting persistent data, or giving wrong answers -- than if they simply crashed). A few systems have a 'reserve tank' that they can use to do a controlled crash, saving important state and whatnot before quitting. OOM can get pretty wicked.
An equivalent test would be to use a factor of -9 instead of 4.

325 => 32 - 9 * 5 = 32 - 45 = -13

The method itself comes from the fact that what we're doing is really just modular arithmetic. Which has the wonderful property that, as long as all manipulations mod N don't fundamentally change the base we can keep repeating them.

Similar to my mod 7 breakdown:

AB = 0 (mod 13)
10*A + B = 0 (mod 13)
40*A + 4*B = 0 (mod 13)
A + 4*B = 0 (mod 13)
A - 9*B = 0 (mod 13) // because 4 = -9 (mod 13)

This is neat. A similar construction should be doable for any number.

EDIT: I have a rule of not questioning down votes, but many of my comments that get down voted have something disagreeable in them (well, I agree with them, but it's typically political/management style/economics/etc.). But how does a break down of modular arithmetic become worth down voting?

They are hard to understand. You don't know if they represent missing data, invalid data, or valid data that is null-valued, so you never know how to handle it.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.

It is kind of amazing how hard it is for existing time series database systems to track the changing needs of the marketplace.
As did Denton (Denton Municipal Electric), Garland (Garland Power & Light), areas served by what used to be known as the Denton County Electric Cooperative (now CoServ), and so on.

They actually didn't opt out, they simply didn't opt in. The original law putting deregulation in place exempted cooperatives and municipal utilities unless they chose to join the competitive system. However, that choice is one way and permanent. If a co-op or city opts in, it can never go back. Most of the not-for-profit boards wanted to see if deregulation would be good for the rest of the state before they put it on their members.

I remember when natural gas costs spiked and that sent Texas electric rates, especially in the Texas-New Mexico and Oncor/TXU service areas, skyrocketing. Now that natural gas is less expensive, prices have dropped. Municipal systems, on the other hand, either owned their own generating infrastructure and were buffered or bought long-term hedge contracts that the competitive players were scared to buy (what if they bet wrong?) or were so new that they didn't have the credit to buy.
> was asked to see if we could determine the cause of the crash, as well as to determine if it would be possible to recover any of the data on the drive.

People will do whatever they want regardless of the pay.

I already do that.

Low wage entry level work today seems like arbitrary roles that communities come up with because they seem like activities people should be doing to earn money. A "business opportunity" is just a way to encourage people to be lazy so that money flows around more and we consume more natural resources. If you like the service industry, fine, create a great business that provides an awesome service. Otherwise, let people flip their own burgers and wash their own dishes.

If I felt a low wage entry level job would be a good use of my time, I would gladly "get a job" as most people say.

I don't want to pursue a traditional career bcuz I find 99% of that to be even more B.S. than the low wage work available.

If the only way to secure a decent sized income cuz is through status within some bureaucratic corporate structure, or through a longshot entrepreneurial crapshoot, what does that say about our society?

I don't really care about career, income, status or any of that. If I can eat and clean myself everyday and have a space where I am not persecuted I am happy.

So much of what we do seems to not even connect with those 3 things I care about. They are the only 3 reasons why I would even consider doing activities for the sole purpose of securing income.

Income should've been irrelevant to the work people decide to do for a long time now, like since the first great depression. I don't get why people don't get it.

10 = 3 (mod 7)

So this works because you're substituting the powers of 10 with powers of 3, and we're operating under mod 7 arithmetic. Conveniently, this can also be repeated like drfuchs' method if your numbers are too large to recognize as a multiple of 7 after the first pass.

413 => 4*9+1*3+3 = 42 => 4*3+2 = 14 => 1*3+4=7

That's not quite the whole story though. Sure, base salary might be $125k vs $150k, but in reality it'd be:

- Startup: $125k base salary, small potential for an OK payout but a large potential that you'll take away that salary and nothing more after 4 years.

- BigCo: $150k salary, $200k RSU over 4 years, 15% bonus every year

Not counting the inevitable refreshers, bonus multipliers, raises, etc, you're really looking at $500k / 4 yr at a startup vs $890k from bigco. That's not an insignificant difference, and I feel like I'm being pretty conservative with the BigCo numbers.
BMI is a worthless metric

The canonical example of exactly how worthless is this:

Take for example, basketball player Michael
Jordan: ''When he was in his prime, his BMI
was 27-29, classifying him as overweight,
yet his waist size was less than 30,''

You need a better formula if your current one is classifying NBA superstars as "overweight". http://www.webmd.com/diet/how-accurate-body-mass-index-bmi?p...

Paygle e-receipts
Could you give a page number? I skimmed the regular expression section and couldn't find it. Also, while it is self-evident to me that there is a minimal form for each regex, the construction for finding one isn't immediately obvious to me (I can surely enumerate several ways of eliminating redundancy). Beyond that, I'm not sure a minimal form would minimize character length.

Of (a \star b \star ) \star and ( a ∪ b ) \star, which is the canonical form? The transformation from the former to the latter is nontrivial as a \star b \star is not equivalent with a ∪ b.

We have to be named something. I am the Founder of the company. That is a no brainer. I am also the President, as I set the strategy for the company (this is traditionally what the President does).

I do not make 95% of executive leadership decisions. The CEO does. Which again, is the definition of the term.

So no, I am not buying into the SV groupthink. Just because other startups use VP/SVP/"manager" doesn't make it non-SV. They're just... correct terms.

The article convincingly establishes an interesting point: the link between decreased infant mortality and lower fertility rate. That supports the wisdom of policies promoting better health care and improvement of the economy in developing countries especially where infant mortality is high.

The data show the world's population balance (births vs. deaths) is stabilizing. Leads to thoughts that non-growing populations along with technological advances could possibly enable humans to reduce conflicts (including warfare) that have frequently arisen re: access to resources. If there's enough food, energy, etc., for everyone, seems hardly anything to fight over.

OTOH could be argued that people like contention, even seek it out no matter how minor the matter. However, not adding to population pressures might at least help us avoid the more destructive forms of contention, that itself would be a positive.

Great article about one of the amazing moments in modern world history. It does not go enough into detail, but it is already a thrilling read:

A country that was to be the conventional and possibly nuclear battleground between NATO and Warsaw Pact reunited in a moment of amazing timing.

"Wir sind ein Volk!" .. what a powerful slogan, given Germany century old struggle for its definition and borders. I still remember those cheap east german Trabant cars suddenly invading West Germany, and people not believing that the decade old separation was gone.

With unification, the border between the two superpower blocks moved further east, and the power of balance changed in Europe. And the notion of Germany being a battlefield like Tom Clancy sketched it in one of his books faded away.

The sad part these days was the conflict in the Balcans. I hope that these documents will be published as well, revealing some of the politcal game making in that time.

Why shouldn't they be open to legal action?

I went to a special screening of Iron Sky. Some of the production of that was done in Australia. During the Q&A they were saying that due to Australian laws they can't do something like Kickstarter in Australia. If they took money to finance the film, the people giving the money would have been investors with rights. Basically a legal and logistical nightmare.

This doesn't sound unreasonable.
It can also be the compiler. If it observes you dereferencing a pointer, it can elsewhere assume that pointer is not null. If that's not the case, things can get messy.
You did actually see them in the first tier cities - though maybe not in certain areas. For instance entire intersections right outside of Haidianhuangzhuang on line 4 in Beijing would be routinely blocked by black cabbies just chilling there waiting for fares. Maybe less so inside 2nd ring.

I think it's a very interesting point about legitimizing this existing practice. Maybe they'll be less prone to blocking intersections now if they have the ability source fares through an app instead of harassing people coming out of Universities, subway stations, etc.

The problem with null is that its not a type error to use it as if it were a non-null value. What you want is for any code that could operate on invalid data as if it were valid data to be a compile time error.
