Lincoln is still on the $5. They're just updating the reverse. Per the official announcement by Sec. Lew:

The reverse of the new $5 will depict the historic events that have occurred at the Lincoln Memorial. In 1939, at a time when Washington’s concert halls were still segregated, world-renowned Opera singer Marian Anderson helped advance civil rights when, with the support of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, she performed at the Lincoln Memorial in front of 75,000 people. And in 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his historic “I Have a Dream” speech at the same monument in front of hundreds of thousands. Honoring these figures will bring to life events at the Lincoln Memorial that helped to shape our history and our democracy. The front of the new $5 will continue to feature President Lincoln.
I initially started with this article when I first looked into the issue of regex performance

https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html

To generate state machines

For C there is re2c http://re2c.org/

For Go there is https://github.com/opennota/re2dfa

My patterns do not change that often, so I end up hand coding them.

If you are looking to continue using regex for matching, I would look at using the TCL regex library as it has some optimizations that other regex libraries do not have.

Well a deeper problem is the 'home' thing. I'm an immigrant from France, and I'm always /amazed/ at the fact that everyone want a house No wonder there is property shortage, as most of the space is wasted.

Seriously. Take a parcel, make 5 tiny houses with matching tiny garages... In france on that surface you would have a block perhaps 3 story high of 20 luxury flats with underground garage, electric gates etc.

Sure, it wouldn't be be dream 'detached house' thing, but perhaps it's time for the way british people see their 'home' to evolve with the resources they have...

I know quite a lot of people in France who owns a flat. THEIR flat, and it doesn't feel less like 'home' than the random tiny estate 'semi detached' in ASBOland.

This from a man who described in great detail his near-suicide experience following the 'Cell Mates' breakdown? What was that if not self-pity? Should we have felt no sympathy for him? Or is that too complex?

I wouldn't take any so-called wisdom from this man.

Sage advice.

It's hot enough in Phoenix summers that homeless people can't survive there. So unlike SF you won't have tent cities popping up on the sidewalk in front of your office. Whether that is a pro or a con is up to you.
Why is this legal? Aren't they using their dominance in one market to enter another market? Isn't that what antitrust suits are for?

Yes, that's right. It was our term of endearment for the poor grad student that was stuck with the undergrads. He or she had to deal with our mistakes and assist in proper methodology and procuring lab materials.
For me it was really about not having to carry around a card reader that I would have to plugin with usb type c.

I get where they're coming from. Locking consumers into a proprietary consumables ecosystem looks good on paper. If you can pull it off (inkjet, Keurig), it can be a big, valuable business. However, it rarely looks good to consumers. That was important to us when we built https://www.pantelligent.com/ -- you shouldn't have to get locked into something like Blue Apron just to make home cooking higher quality, higher variety, and more convenient. You should be able to go to your local supermarket, grab an ordinary $8 salmon fillet, and have an extraordinary culinary experience.
The point is to be able to come up with $2,000 without taking drastic action. The $400 example in the article was being able to come up with $400 without selling stuff or taking out a payday loan.

I could sell my house and come up with tons of money. That doesn't count. I can also just pay an unexpected $2,000 expense (like my $3,000 unexpected tax bill) out of savings.

The point is that a lot of Americans don't have liquid assets they can use in the case of a minor emergency.
I mean for more OTC stuff like bandages, lotions, etc.

Fair enough, but how does a command apply to a git commit? If it's telling the git commit what to do, that doesn't make sense, since the commit comment is supposed to be about the commit, not a command to the commit.

If it's telling me what to do, that doesn't make any sense either, since the work's already been done; the results of doing that work is the commit.

I guess it could be considered to be an abstraction of what request initiated the change, but what value does that provide when going back through git logs (when compared to a past or present verb tense that describes the changes)?

Well, they are already part of the project. :-)
Very true. I just don't think there's that much of a market for people who want to drink half a bottle of wine and have the rest remain 'fresh'. The average consumer is also becoming increasingly aware of how the razor-blade sales model is bad for them.
Of course not, and its really worrisome that you think that. Most of the set of grey scale 50x50 pixel images are not crops by the simple fact that they contain no correlations at all, that's simple combinatorics.
Unless the country is very close to the Netherlands, I doubt it will have much effect.

If someone is willing to spend thousands of dollars to travel to the Netherlands because of marijuana, they are probably pretty into marijuana, and if they are that into it, they are probably using it in their home country anyway, despite it being illegal.

The legal barriers are not hard to work around, and in almost every country it would be easier to get illegal marijuana locally than to arrange travel to the Netherlands.

Being on a constant verge of starvation has been very much the norm through most of history, which is attested by this list of major famines:

Bear in mind these are just the most famous famines, there were constant localised famines going on all the time.
The key difference is that quality marijuana can be grown indoors for personal consumption, whereas it's very difficult to make a quality whiskey or beer by comparison.

So I'm curious what effect this will have on prices. Because if pricing is anything like alcohol in Ontario then there will still be a lively black market and, if legalized, a personal-growing boom.

In Ontario alcohol can only be bought at two government run retail stores called LCBO and "The Beer Store" at much higher prices than the US and even Montreal. Unlike in some other provinces you can't walk into a grocery or corner store, you have to go to the predefined locations of the alcohol stores, which typically close at 9pm, making it harder to get alcohol. Especially if you don't drive.

I hope they don't make the same mistake with weed, because the market dynamics are different.
That's basically the Nvidia Shield
For one thing because it would almost certainly not work economically.

More importantly, that would be a major blow to net neutrality. I really don't want my ISP to be negotiating deals of what news I'm able to access.
Because then you aren't on AWS. "Just going to Hetzner" means mostly losing everything else that AWS offers. You can still use some services externally, but the latency is higher and there are ingress/egress costs to contend with.

A reminder: AWS is not just a VM host. If you are using it this way, you are throwing away money. You use AWS to delegate big chunks of your infrastructure or systems to Amazon, thus saving on manpower (and thus, salaries). Hetzner is just a bare metal provider. Apples to oranges.

There are some sites on AWS who deal with staggering volumes of traffic that have tiny infrastructure or ops teams. That is the main value proposition of AWS (and GCP and Azure), and why Citus is focusing on it.
You have to do what makes sense. I've been really lucky with my car (Honda Pilot). I probably have about $1k in annual costs, mostly due to wear items.

My goal for cars is to average $2,000/yr in vehicle cost over its lifetime. I hit a home run with my car, but my wife's minivan will miss the mark. (Because the sliding doors break annually)
You are still searching for char (256 values, 8 bit) when you only need 4 values (2 bit)? You know that cache misses dominate the search, so you need to compress the chars to 2 bit, and search in L1 cache size blocks.
Esp. the inverted index will be much faster to search if compressed.

Furthermore those search terms are so highly specialized that you can easily jit the regex.

Why using the super slow python and not a fast language? I thought DNA matching is a big and important enough problem where you shouldn't toy around with dinosaurs.

[Edit: 3 -> 2 bit]
> Bring back the 500$/1000$/5000$/10000$ bills?

There is a practical reason not to do this btw. Bills of this size get used for criminal purposes.

There's another explanation (among many) for $n aspirin, that is to cover shortfalls from public health program reimbursements. It's a similar story with life flights. Not exactly a problem borne out of the private market, unless you're arguing that government intervention is corrupt?
Amazon would do (and probably still does) this in another way, too. When I was selling on Amazon for a bookstore, our strategy was try to find books that Amazon didn't have on the site, then sell them, and if any sold well we'd send massive quantities to Fulfillment By Amazon so we'd sell a lot and not have to ship each copy individually. The first time this happened, we sold something really well for 5 or 6 months, and then it stopped selling completely. Turns out Amazon started carrying it and was selling it far below list price. Then it happened again with another book after a few months of good sales. And then again. After the third or fourth time Amazon suddenly undercut us like that, we gave up on the practice, since between the already low FBA margins and the cost of returning all the unsold products to us (and the publisher) since we couldn't move them anymore, we weren't making enough for it to be worth the effort.
In case of refraction it is a macroscopic illusion. If you look closely enough, you will see photons traveling at the speed of light between atoms, getting absorbed by atoms and reemitted later. The macroscopic speed of light is just the result of absorption and emission probabilities and the microscopic geometry of the material.

But there is another layer below but I am less sure about that, it may be (slightly) wrong. In quantum electro dynamics photon take, figuratively spoken, all possible paths from source to detector, also paths that require going slower and faster than the speed of light. All those possible paths interfere with each other and the net result is that the photon seems to move with the speed of light with very high probability. But really take that with a large grain of salt.
"speed of light" normally means "speed of light in a vacuum" (eg see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light)

I only read the part about pretending the left half is blocked and using the left wall as a guide, which seems a lot more specific than just "go in one direction until you're approaching a trap and then change." I understand that proofs are much harder than intuition, but it seems that the angel has such an advantage of choice that it would be easy to prove. At any point, the 2-angel can move to 8 spots on an infinite plane and the devil can block 1. I wonder how constrained the problem could get for the angel to have a winning strategy. Let's say the angel could only move in two directions. It would seem intuitively that this would still leave enough room to avoid traps. Devil starts creating a trap in the up direction, angel moves right. Devil starts constructing a trap in the right direction, angel moves up. If it were possible to constuct a trap that blocked both directions with an unknown rate of movement on an infinite plane, it might lead to some interesting applications to other things, but my intuition says it's not.

Where Have All the Journalists Gone?
What's the problem with the lab in China? I don't get it.
To an extent, I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. While I don’t think politicians should be making policy that is blatantly to their own advantage without some other justification, I also don’t think they should be mysteriously forbidden from doing reasonable and legal things that other people in a similar situation to their own except for not being politicians could do.

Put another way, my objection in this case is not to those who have successfully invested in property ownership, whether politicians or not; it is to the fact that doing so was a viable option in the first place, because the housing market has been systematically manipulated over many years now to artificially inflate the value of properties. This gives a false sense of security to a lot of people, and for the same reason, it makes it politically difficult to implement policy that will restore some sense of proportionality to house prices, such as significantly loosening planning rules so we can simply build more homes.

That is what needs to change, IMHO. The value of a property can be whatever the market wants it to be, given what the land it’s on is worth and what it costs to build and connect up and so on, but we shouldn’t be forever inflating the market by artificially making property a scarce resource.
I would add that Kotlin has excellent compatibility with Java and you can use thousands if not millions existing libraries. Other JVM languages such as Scala or Clojure have their own libraries and that makes integration harder.

It used to be that CEOs of large companies were not expected to make this much. Her base salary would have been typical in the old days but not the rest of it. The change occurred in the 1990s when the CEOs of companies like GM looked at the CEOs of companies like Oracle and figured, we are bigger than they are so I should be worth at least that much money.

Quality would definitely be the main difference. Although I have friends that have made decent wine and beer themselves.

Considering that the 2 rounds of NASA testing are now undergoing peer review it seems that some "...scientists in the relevant fields actually think it's an interesting mystery."

Have other people noticed how many articles go out of their way to compare things in different units, like "30% of people do this, and 1 out of 5 do that"?

It's like they're trying to make it hard to compare things numerically on purpose, so you have to read and believe the conclusion in their verbal narrative.
I didn't believed you until I read the article.

"$137 million divided by 4.7 million is ... $29.14.

More than 4.7 million contributions means, at most, 4,749,999 -- or else the campaign would round up to 4.8 million. Even with that higher number of donations, the average is $28.95. Which is more than $27."

This is laughable...but I haven't yet decided if it's in a good or a bad way. I mean, really? they are complaining about a 1-2 dollar difference from what BS says?
