Thank you for the feedback!

I actually have a lot of thoughts of ways to improve this too, which is why I am applying to do a PhD in this area.

Thanks :)

43 still gives you about 20 more years than most people to do something other than earning money to spend! Imagine what you'll get to do with that kind of time.

I love hearing from other people who have a similar plan.

And of course I'll suggest you could be independent sooner if you reduce some spending. ;) But that's your tradeoff to consider.

Berlin has rent control, if you stay in the same apartment the rent can only go up a certain % every year. It's also almost impossible to throw out a tenant here.

The main downside to renting is lack of control over stuff like renovations, modifications in the apartment, etc.
Now, it's possible my memory is messing me up again or I bought into a false explanation of the legal issues.

To be clear, your saying that my worry was inaccurate and one person including GPL code into a new, released version of a proprietary app doesn't require the whole, linked source of that app be released under GPL? That happening is very virus-like but if it can't then it wouldn't be virus-like.
I've read The Inner Game of Tennis as well and I agree its helped me with an improvement mindset with video games. However I haven't seen much academic research around these topics and I'm curious if its out there.
The argument has some holes.

First, the conclusion that baggage fees are a good deal doesn't follow since the baggage fee shortfall is accounted for in the price of the ticket. A more valid conclusion is that travelers who don't check bags are subsidizing travelers who do.

Second, opportunity cost is used to conclude that the fees are a good deal. However, most travelers won't travel without baggage and since baggage fees we're most likely just a way to raise prices without raising the ticket price per se, it's a wash.

I suppose it would be different if the article made a case for cheaper, carry-on only flights which sell the cargo space for shipping. Does something like this exist? Seems to be a good business opportunity if not.

Well, of course. Criminals tend to commit multiple crimes. Would you prefer a world where crimes are just randomly committed by anyone, including you and your family, with uniform distribution? If you would, you know where to start.
In addition to the latter, make use of your Physics degree in your projects. You should also note the differences between high and low level languages and make an adequate choice that fits your goal. I would also recommend that you make use of open source not only as a license and a mindset, but to read other's code and learn how they did whatever was achieved.

I was a user of Egg Money Manager. This site from the (now gone) UK bank presented all of your bank accounts, loans and credit card balances in a single place.

A clever way to avoid them handling any of your bank account details, they used a Java applet that stored your creds locally, interacting with their site so as to appear 'on the web'. Actually a great solution vs. giving your banking creds to a third party.

Encouraging that teller.io seems to be architected similarly. Would love to hear more.
>Especially one that captures the spirit of OSS with change that distribution/use is paid to some degree in some way

This illustrates yet another confusion about FOSS. There's nothing in either the Free Software or Open Source definitions that says that a fee cannot be charged for software. You can charge money for free software!
oh dear.

your comment is disingenuous.

I cannot answer why it would not be. Perhaps the link author or poster wants to generate traffic -- please ask him or her about that.

I can however answer why it is not insightful / of no value. It's not saying anything of any interest about "how to open a file in python" beyond "don't go against the instructions".
Silicon Valley Bank is taking beta signups right now for their API banking products https://www.svb.com/api/

From their director of API banking, "With API banking we aim to deliver a set of services that allow our customers to interact with the bank securely, programmatically, at high speed and with little (or no) manual intervention." https://www.svb.com/Blogs/Dan_Kimerling/Our_Mission_for_API_...
I see what he's getting at, but I don't think it's right.

Meetings are caused by policies and the need for coordination. Even companies with continuous deployment still have meetings.

You can eliminate policies, which will reduce meetings, but you'll still need coordination. You can move coordination to your issue tracker or agile board, but then you've just replaced meeting time with the time you spend interacting with the tickets and the agile board.

There really is just no way around it. The bigger you get, the more coordination you need.

Running small teams responsible for small services is one way to reduce that need somewhat, which is part of why microservices are getting more popular, but at the end of the day I'd say coordination time, in whatever form it takes, is linearly (or maybe even exponentially) correlated with org size.
Of course there is: direct enumeration.

If you insist on a practical way to do it, gradient descent on the latent vector would probably work well given the type of results DeepDream has obtained.
Accepting contributions with a license like this is a solved problem. You just require the contributors to sign a contributor license agreement. In case the contributor is working somewhere, you also have them sign a corporate contributor license agreement. This is the same process used by companies like Gitlab.

They aren't claiming to be open source. It's similar in certain ways to open source, but different.
Yes just index funds, making about $200k/year pretax if I count salary+stock+bonus+401k match.

I'll admit, not everyone makes $200k this early. But most people could be financially independent much sooner than they think if they realized that spending doesn't make them happier and started saving instead -- so I suggest this when I get the chance. :)

Lots of people have no idea where their money is going because they don't track spending.

If you take SFBA out of the picture, the story behind gentrification and its impact on minorities gets very blurry. There are studies showing that gentrified neighborhoods have lower minority turnover than non-gentrified neighborhoods: people leave poor non-gentrified areas more often than they do gentrified ones.

This sort of makes sense when you realize that people who don't make much money aren't a different species, and like many of the same benefits and services as rich people: parks, grocery stores, schools accountable to active and engaged (busybody) parents, &c.

Welcome to sociology.
I have tried out Plaid Connect and it worked really well for me. This was in beta when only a very limited selection of banks were supported, so I had to go get a Bank of America account just to use it.

Authentication was incredibly easy and they handled security questions very gracefully in my opinion. I was able to build a pretty good Simple Goals clone with a weekend's worth of work.

I haven't used their Plaid Auth product yet.

>I'd like to see specific numbers on how that difficulty translates into carbon emissions.

So would I. Getting good data in this area is near impossible.

For something complex you can use the rough rule of thumb that the dollar cost is proportional to the emissions - as complexity increases the actual emissions converge towards the economy wide average. On this basis the emissions from building a current generation nuclear power plant is very high.

Ahh yes, an API on top of your bank... this was the promise of Simple Bank, one that they have now almost wholly backed out of which is quite disappointing. Don't get me wrong I still love them as my bank but I was really looking forward to an API that never materialized.

I had a concern about lateral stability; will you guys have an option for bracing between legs, e.g., a single horizontal brace across the back? Or would that need to be done by the user?
That is one area LittleD needs some improvement. We only support CREATE TABLE, INSERT, SELECT right now. O(1) for inserts because we only append.

That said, IonDB was in part motivated to be a storage engine for LittleD. Then you basically get exactly what you described: your choice of underlying dictionary data-structure for the performance characteristics you need. It will also make UPDATE/DELETE a breeze, once we incorporate the two code-bases!

This is interesting to me as a juggler because almost everything you do in juggling involves maintaining your spatial awareness of multiple objects even though you are only able to focus on one at a time.

Much of understanding a juggling pattern is developing the ability to see where a ball will go in a split second. By the time you actually catch that ball, you probably did several other things in the meantime, but the right time to "look" is anywhere from a tenth to a half second before you actually catch.

When you start out, you feel the compulsion to follow each ball until you catch it. When you get better, you start seeing the ball at its peak and anticipating its landing.

Practice enough and you start tracking 5 balls instead of 3, or tracking and anticipating the spins on clubs. There's obviously a ton of muscle memory involved, but maintaining enough focus to keep track of everything with well timed, short glances is a developed skill.

Makes me wonder about how to do this intentionally. I don't think I've ever been able to do this consistently.
The API is essentially taking a crude geolocation processes and refining it into something more useful. It shouldn't cost anything until the usage gets quite high. We're aiming to have it embedded into breakdown/delivery/emergency job management systems.
I retract my statement for any given commenter that was purely concerned with my misuse of the OSS phrase, which I'm fixing in future comments. However, there's often an overly-negative reaction to anything that involves payment and shared source w/ OSS-like benefits. If they were reacting to that, then it still stands if they don't do similar for cool, closed-source stuff here. Just seems hypocritical to me. That's where I was going with that comment.
That seems like an argument for getting programming best practices advice from an auto mechanic.

Climate scientists are not dedicated to advancing the idea of anthropogenic climate change, they are dedicated to studying the climate, where ever that leads them. If this were not true, then some of the contrarian scientists in the field would have much stronger criticisms of the work. As it is, their criticisms are relegated to rather minor details, without any good rebuttals of the primary thrust.

If you want to make the claim that the IPCC is not balanced on this, then there should be much stronger criticisms of the science in the IPCC, rather than the easily knocked down trivialities that appear in denialist memes.
Funny enough, the postal service has managed to lose one of two parcels I had sent to myself. The tracking number showed that it got to a halfway point and that's it.

Getting someone on the phone was impossible. Going to the local post office was not easy either (snow season) and when I finally did, it didn't seem like the package ever made it there. Apparently, if the USPS manages to get a package mishandled, they will send it all to a sorting facility near Atlanta, Georgia. I'd have to fill a form to start an investigation. Of course, the form is not available on the USPS website.

Thankfully, it wasn't something ridiculously valuable. However, if I ever have something of value it will stay with me. No, I will not check that carry on either.

You could add a temporary column to Table B that stores the primary key of column A during the insert, then a 2nd query can insert the primary key of Table B into the corresponding rows of Table A by matching against the temporary column in B.

For example:

INSERT INTO tableB (whatever, tempIdFromTableA) SELECT whatever, id FROM tableA;
UPDATE tableA SET yourForeignKeyColumn = (SELECT id FROM tableB WHERE tempIdFromTableA=tableA.id)

... or instead of that update you could do it via a JOIN:

UPDATE tableA INNER JOIN tableB ON tableA.id=tableB.tempIdFromTableA SET tableA.yourForeignKeyColumn=tableB.id;

Or you could use a temp table to achieve similar results (if you don't want to have to add and then remove the temp column from table B).

Fantastic article with so much information.. I feel humbled when I see how much work people put into these things and how great the result looks like !

Haven't read it all yet and forgive me if I'm repeating what's already mentioned there, but I would also add the following..

I think that climate change is the consequence of people doing too much X.
One way to curb it would be for people to do less X or do (more) Y instead.
No governments, no grants, you and me - the people, aka users.

But that involves changing the people's behaviour, which is very hard. Or is it ?
Well, advertising works quite well and we've become very good at manipulating and determining people to do (buy) all kinds of things.

What if we used all that ad tech and all that exposure that tech corporations have and implement a global 'climate change' propaganda ?

This can be done starting tomorrow.

Microsoft Windows popping up an alert "Do you really need all your lights on in your house ?"

Facebook wall containing ads encouraging people to be less wasteful, respect nature and think about the future (we can do incredibly cool ads nowadays!).

iPhones displaying "plant a tree !" on the home screen with the button to actually schedule it in the calendar.

Google search returning a 'sponsored' link to climate-healing projects ...

There's so much, we, the tech people working at the big corps can do today .. We don't need startups for that, we already have most of the eyeballs of the planet in our operating systems, social networks or search engines.

It's a matter of delivering the right information and people will follow. We all want to do this, regardless of country or race or religion.

So, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple , etc - why not allocate 1% of your UIs to fixing the climate ?

You can reach everyone on the planet and we are ready to do it, just give us some pointers, remind us to do the good stuff and we will, because that's how advertising works !

I'd happily discuss this more, so let me know if anyone's interested ;).

Dr. Seuss had quite a few D's and F's - but that didn't slow him down. His "5000 fingers" film was a flop. His attempts to produce works for an adult audience went nowhere.

But he never, ever quit. And he had extremely high standards. As a result, some of his funniest and most creative work was seen only in newspaper ads and trade shows.

He also had a run of amazing editorial cartoons during WWII (Dr. Seuss Goes to War is a great collection of them.)

Counterpoint: Greek uses a simple alphabet like Latin, but Greek typefaces are typically much closer to the "curly handwriting" end of the spectrum with Arabic.

If I had to guess, I'd say the reason is something to do with the Renaissance and a couple of centuries of fashion in typeface design pushing the limits of the mechanised process, instead of just trying to reproduce the shapes that people were used to (there's a reason sans-serif typefaces were originally called 'grotesk'!).
I read the story. So much for publishers not doing at least 80% of the work when it comes to publishing papers.

Yes, the tiny Freescale, Cypress, etc can be obtained for less than a dollar in a reasonable quantity [1]. The microcontroller market is changing pretty rapidly of late, with the number of products getting more and more broad. For your high reliability stuff, you'd probably want to look at the cortex-r series, which is built for the type of use cases you describe.

Correct me if I am wrong, but when these fees showed up, my ticket price did not drop by the same amount, correct? So adding a fee, no matter how much of a "good deal" it is is still a addition to cost.
I refuse to click such links on principle; if they want to hide their content, I will direct my eyeballs elsewhere.
Those faces are right in the bottom trough of the uncanny valley. Especially the ones with the...teeth under the lips?

Buh.
Except the standard was to include these costs in the ticket. So add the cost of your ticket and it's not such a good deal.
Exactly. Author missed that point.
But then you just end up with a bunch of microservices you have to coordinate changes between. Microservices are more of an implicit recognition that the job your software does is complex enough that you need the overhead of managing them.

I do think there's an element of truth to what he's saying: organizations develop processes that can handle a certain amount of throughput, and trying to increase throughput means making changes to those processes, which means meetings about reducing the number of meetings. The amount of overhead is largely driven by executive visibility requirements (and past times that executive has been "burned" by a bad deployment) so it can't really be changed.

I actually kind of agree with the mantra: "If you want to deploy more, deploy more often." We become accustomed to testing changes of a certain size, and if we try to cram more into a release, then release testing and certification takes longer. Big releases are the enemy of most Agile processes.
Both OSI link I was given here and FSF require free redistribution and derivatives. That's contrary to paid, shared-source without qualifiers that ensure flow of money. Reason being, the first to pay for it could give it for free to everyone and leave them with no reason to pay. Defeats the whole concept.

The payment has to be mandatory, done with licensing, and increase with use somehow to maintain few advantages of proprietary software. Open to any models that can leave off one or more of these with consistent effectiveness as my goal is exploration.
