>many are active users through their 20s, then they hit 30 and it's radio silence except for wedding / baby photos.

I think you hit an age where your realize your social capital has real worth and just blabbing about the inanities in your life makes you seem immature. Your social capital gets pissed away on this stuff and now people remember you as the girl who always complains about runny eggs and berates waiter staff or the guy who is always posting angry libertarian screeds. Why would I want to spend time with either of them?

I also imagine there's a lot less "peacocking" from men and women in their 20s trying to find relationships and using FB as a way to do that or promote themselves in a certain light for those ends. By the time youre in your 30s, you're probably already in a LTR and have no need for that kind of thing.

A friend has familial hypercholesterolemia - cholesterol levels were around 1000 as a child, on statins since like, age 10.

At their request, the doctor dialed back the statin dose and cholesterol levels shot back up within days - even on a vegetarian diet with plenty of exercise.

They asked if they could start eating egg yolks again and the doctor said something like, "Go ahead. Your diet does not affect this condition at all."

Familial hypercholesterolemia isn't the same thing as having a 300 cholesterol level because you eat McDonald's. Listen to your doctor - they do know some things.

Yeah, Metro administration in DC always infuriated me because they gave zero f*cks about quality, contracts or safety.

1. One time, they stopped working with a startup (which provided payment cards/passes via direct paycheck/deposit) without giving any warning. So I was stuck with $465 on my card, which I couldn't really use now.

2. There also have been several cases when some drunk/high/angry people would assault passengers in the evening. Ok, that happens in other places too. However, one time I went and complained about it and they told me "Sorry, we can't do anything. They left, we can't stop them now" Ok, how about you look at your cameras so that you can stop them next time or increase number of police? Yeah, their employees didn't really care about it.

Totally agree. Michael Moore even won an oscar for documentary filmmaking, but he uses some pretty crafty and biased techniques to make his point. All documentaries tend to have the point of view of their filmmaker, but they often try to expose both sides of the coin in the process and at least present the evidence in a way the audience can judge on their own (at least the good films do this). Michael Moore is very skilled but not at documentary filmmaking. He is a master of propaganda.
BART in the Bay Area is also a two-track system, and we face the same problems. This is the reason given (here in CA) for not running 24 hours, and the limited window for maintenance slows down all track work.

It also prevents anything like an express train from being possible. This might not work anyway given the relative distances and train frequency, but I would absolutely build my schedule around an express if such a thing existed here.
I've heard DC described as "Northern hospitality meets southern efficiency", which probably sums up Metro as well.
Your analysis is spot on, and here's another anecdote of Metro's quality employees: the fare collector who simply took the fare money and bought lottery tickets with it:

Strong words. I'm not sure why you came down so hard on what is a reasonable opinion.

I don't speak for lamby, but it might be that what he was regretting is that nationality is essentially the only identity that is popularly used to characterise astronauts. When was the last time an astronaut was described (to take your examples) primarily in terms of their religion, attitude to tech, or preferred literary genre? It doesn't happen.

But from space, national boundaries are invisible. This is part of what causes the so-called "overview effect" [1] that some space travellers report. I don't know, but I suspect that lamby may have been alluding to this.

Three human beings went into space today on expedition 47. What do you know about them, apart from that they are Russian, American, and British? Do you have any other ways to characterise them?

Flint's basically bankrupt and the state wants to delay the inevitable, so they installed an "emergency manager" with all the powers of mayor+city council (but accountable only to the governor). The emergency manager wanted to save money by using a local source of water instead of paying Detroit for water. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality basically knew that the water was so acidic that it would eat through the biofilm on the pipes and start leeching lead (and discussed as much in emails), and gave incorrect advice on measurements to the city to try and hide the problem.

The benefit to having it in the same branch/associated with a specific branch of code is that it makes it easier to have those issues and notes represent the current state of that branch and as you merge branches for that information to similar flow across the merges just as with the associated code.

For example, say you fix a bug in a specific branch. If the issue is being tracked inside that branch you can mark it as fixed in that branch, and then checking if an issue is fixed in a given branch is a matter of checking the issue state for that branch. As you merge that code change to other branches, the flag that the issue has been fixed presumably flows with the merge as well and you have an easier time of telling the particular state of any given branch.

This sums it up perfectly. It's also what makes depression so dangerous. When you're at your lowest point you don't feel like you have a distorted worldview at all. You feel like you're seeing the world perfectly clearly. Of course, you're actually not. You're blocking out all the wonderful stuff that actually makes life worth living.

I'm just so used to this discussion managing microservices and APIs coming out of the Facebook and Netflix camps I had to stop and think, oh, not everybody is using React wrapped in a native app. Woosh, right over my head.

It is possible this approach by SoundCloud is more of a solution to developer teams not communicating. I reread OP's article and the question I'm asking now is why wouldn't they want a consistent API across all platforms? I think that it is BS that Andriod and iOS apps for the same product require a different backend API. That makes no sense! This seems like symptom of the Andriod group doing whatever they want and the iOS group doing whatever they want.
Citation needed. On cato.org, I can find articles arguing against retroactive liability for lead paint manufacturers (since what they did was considered safe at the time they did it), and articles arguing that the 1970s introduction of unleaded gas was handled poorly and did not reduce lead exposure quickly enough after the problems were recognized.

Can you point me to anything from Cato Institute that questions in any way the toxicity of lead? Your phrase "toxicity of lead is actually a longstanding political argument" and you associate this with libertarianism. Please support or retract this claim.

I think this is incorrect, some features are by definition slower. Take for example the iterable protocol, it will always be slower than a traditional for loop [1] because the spec mandates a prototype lookup and function call [2].

So far the only features that are actually fast are generators and the new data types (Map, Set, et al).

Not current revenue.

Bonds for something like are typically secured by revenue. When they issue a revenue bond, they need to have the ability to raise the rates to cover the bond. Current rates only matter if they are too high.

The situation in a place like Flint or Detroit is complicated by the fact that the municipality is depopulating, and they cannot afford the infrastructure built for a few million people that now serves far fewer. In any case, a private entity doesn't have a magical ability to fix this stuff. A private company would just buy the future cash flows at a discount and farm the resource for as long as possible.

If you live near a VRE station in northern VA, the VRE is cheaper, cleaner, more reliable and faster. The only downside is it is only a commuter train meaning it goes in rush hour direction only and at longer intervals than Metro. but it is hands down waaaay better.

When I had to get to LEnfant plaza I took the Burke station VRE straight into town. Weekly passes were ~$60-70, and my commute was 1 hour including the 15min to get to Burke station. Taking the Metro on the other hand, cost me closer to $100 per week, took 30 minutes to get to Vienna metro (because hellacious traffic on 50/66 daily) and another 45-60 minutes to get to LEnfant.

Hands down VRE was better.
Persistent data structures are very cool. While generally slower, they're within a factor of 2x-4x of mutable structures in general, and for certain domains, are actually faster.

E.g., if your mutable code has to make many array copies, you've negated any performance advantage waiting for memory. Another great one is checking for differences in tree structures; you can replace deep equality checking with higher-up pointer comparisons, which is why Clojurescript fits so well with virtual DOM techniques like React.

Bash functions are very useful when you want to manipulate the state of the shell in some way. That is, you write a function for it and stick that function in your .bash_profile. (Unless ofc an alias would be able to perform the job in which case one should just make an alias instead.)

Beyond that, I have been in many situations where standalone shell scripts make the most sense for a task and in which case bash functions have helped me organize the code such that it is both more readable and also so that I don't have to repeat sections of code multiple times within a single script.

It all comes down to personal experience and preference, I think.
Is there any other conclusion to these areas where ignorance is a badge of honor? Once you cross that line where you start rewarding people for standing up to "the man" no matter how reasonable and logical said man's actions are, you're already locked into the road to ruin.

Aren't places like Flint and Detroit pretty much poster children of progressive thought? I think anti-liberal people use them as case studies to attract converts, as in, look what you get if you have one-party Democratic rule for 50 years and strong unions, and other progressive notions.

Thanks. I wish I had been born even 10 years later sometimes, I didn't even know the word for my gender until I was in my 30s. People trying to "correct" my course when I was young left me a lot of scars.

So, I'm not saying my case should shape the world. But I think it's worth considering. People here tend to mix "SSRIs are over-prescribed" with "SSRIs don't work." The data suggests the more focused the study, the stronger the effect, which is usually indicative of practicioners failing to properly use an intervention.

Or so my doctor tells me. He was happy to explain carefully why he uses SSRIs, how long he'll agree to prescribe them for, and what his current reading of the research is. I was surprised, but he says GPs often have to be the first line of defense for people who don't outright end up in the emergency room. I guess that stands to reason.
Dude, your case statement will compile into a bunch of test and branch instructions, implementing a binary search if you're lucky, and a linear search if you're not. Better to use __builtin_clz() or similar, so your function will just take a few cycles with no (expensive) branching. Extra bonus: with care, it can work for all inputs, giving a truncated or rounded result.
> Tunneling for Metro was staggeringly expensive

This probably had greater play in the reasoning years ago to forgo an extra track than we realize at this time.

Most of the DC Metro was built by tunnel boring underneath already existing DC buildings. Very little, until one gets out to the suburbs, was built by open-cut and backfill, and even less of the system is surface grade. The planners in the late 50's to mid 60's, budgeting out 2*X (where X is likely a largish two digit number) of miles of tunnel boring, likely thought they were making a great money saving decision by not boring a third or fourth tunnel.

And since typical human nature is to not think of the "what can go wrong" scenarios before they actually go wrong, those same planners likely never considered the "how do we fix track in tunnel 2 without having to half shut the system down to do so?" aspects of their decisions at the time.
It is definitely not clean anymore. Or it is not clean in the main commuter stations that you may or may not have seen. The stench is unbearable in some stations like Metro Center, Gallery Place and a few other ones.
52 things I learned in 2015
Only 15% of water utilities are private companies: http://www.waterencyclopedia.com/Po-Re/Privatization-of-Wate.... And even, it's usually an arrangement where the city contracts with a private company to operate its water system. The companies don't own the system and prices are set by the municipalities.
Precisely why you need review processes ;)
If you need to make 30 million function calls per second, the ES5 counterparts aren't off limits. I hear the performance argument against early ES6 adoption from time to time. But the bottleneck when running javascript on the client or the server is almost never language constructs. Network requests, disk i/o, database queries...they're all going to take many thousands of times longer than a prototype lookup. We should write succinct code first, then optimize the slow parts.
"Science fiction" is also an artificial ghetto that historically was used to segregate "science fiction" from "literary fiction". It's funny to see the same process being repeated.

"But Vaughn, the arbitrator, decided that Brim's actions, although illegal and inappropriate, were not undertaken with malicious intent. Vaughn based his decision on witness statements, including those of the police officer, Tyrone Hardy, Metro officials said.

Vaughn reduced Brim's penalty to a 30-day suspension and awarded him back pay for the rest of the time. Farbstein did not know the value of back pay awarded in either case."
