When I took Calc I in school, I was hanging out with another student from Hungary who had done the course already in the old country but somehow needed the credit here (in Canada), so he decided to read the "additional reading" that the professor recommended. He discovered that one of the books suggested to instructors to make errors on purpose when demonstrating a calculation on the blackboard. The idea is that once you reach the part where the equation doesn't resolve, you have to go line by line and examine everything carefully to see where the error is, and that's how as a student you better remember the calculus strategy used.

The professor who I thought was a distracted older lady was actually a wily teacher :)
Using Amazon as a benchmark for bandwidth prices is not a good starting point.

Amazon charges are $x.xx/GB. Providers which compete on bandwidth costs charge $x.xx/TB.

300x cheaper than Amazon is a little difficult, but 50-100x cheaper is a price at which bandwidth can be profitably sold.
> On what basis should men be treated by-default as if they are, "the type that won't take no for an answer?" Wouldn't it be parsimonious to try the "no" and see what happens, in that case?

It would be parsimonious, and on average, it would work out. The problem is that the cost of being mistaken is high enough that it's worth working to avoid the worst-case result rather than optimize for average-case results. Does that make sense?

I will agree sex sells, but there is a geniune market that wants to make more friends or have a relationship that are not looking to have sex immediately.

I also agree the software is not the biggest challenge, anyone can build applications and it really does not cost as much as people want you to believe.

I agree also that its the marketing and viral effect.

There's passive provision (ie: at not a lot of extra cost - perhaps no real new infrastructure, not entirely sure) to run a 4tph service to Gorebridge + continue half of them to the rest of the line.

I think a 4tph / 2tph service pattern is fine and future capacity could be gained by platform extensions + longer trains.

I'd rather they 'value engineer' it to that level now than build a double track railway at significantly extra cost, and spend the ~£100m (educated guess) on other railway improvement projects for other areas (eg, the quad tracking of the ECML near Musselburgh to allow them a 2tph service - will cost around £100m for the various improvements).
Have you looked at Microsoft touchdevelop? This might be just the thing
Yes! the no-solder thing made my parents very happy, and I could take it with me on long car rides. Mine was the earlier 100-in-1; my favorite (though limited) were the Radio Shack P-Box kits and are highly collectible on EBay. I did get a hold of a few hundred volts generated from a AA cell; that was the Eureka moment.
I disagree with this. While the Greeks speculated that Egypt might be the origin of some of their culture, they were a) distinct and b) tended to be a pseudo-mystical predecessor to the greeks. Kind of how we look at the greeks with western culture, but centered around egyptian religion.
This has been around a while and is really good advice in general regarding asking questions:

http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
As a non-native speaker (who does mistakes a lot), I think it's sad most sites (esp. forums - although it's tricky as it could be abused there) don't have an option to select a mistake or typo and silently report it to the original text's author, with optional comments on what's wrong there. I only ever saw such things on news sites, where readers could report problems to the editors.

So, many people see the mistake, but stay silent out of politeness or just feeling that it would be off-topic.
You obviously have some nuanced views on this, which I don't object to (and probably agree with more than you'd expect). The problem is that when you present them in a polarized and polarizing format, you move the discussion towards a clash of enemies instead of a conversation of colleagues. That's a big deal.

It's hard to notice what a big deal it is because when we post such things it always feels like we're brave and tiny David against big ugly Goliath. But that's a cognitive bias.

The solution is to remove or at least de-escalate the pejoratives, and roll back one's grand claims to partial ones. If you consciously leave room for other options, people will become curious to engage with your point of view. Then we get interesting discussion, which is really all we care about here.

I spend countless hours reading these comments and have gradually gotten more inured to their sharpness than most readers can be expected to, yet when I read things like "your gods" and "how utterly lost you all are" my spine stiffens and my fur stands on end. Such comments only evoke tribal identification: for or against, depending on where one's pre-existing sympathy lies. Once tribal identification kicks in, we get reflexive responses rather than reflective ones, and that is the root of everything we're trying to avoid.
Show HN: API Harmony – find, learn about, and use web APIs
Currently, there's a vehicle registration tax in the Netherlands when you first purchase a vehicle. Smaller vehicles and electric vehicles have a much lower tax to encourage cars that pollute less and put less strain on the roads.

When you go to another country to buy a vehicle, you still have to bring it back into the Netherlands and register it. So you'll just end up paying the tax anyways.

I would expect that if the Netherlands does end up going through with this proposal, Dutch residents would be unable to register imported vehicles unless they were electric vehicles.

Personally, I think just taxing fuel-burning vehicles with very high taxes would achieve a similar goal with less fuss. People would buy electric vehicles because they're cheaper rather than due to the cars just not being available. A small number of people who really want gasoline cars can still do so, but they're going to have to pay a lot for the privilege.
With todays abundance of APIs, libraries etc, the phrase "in xx lines of code" should be put to rest.
Another "Windows Phone sales are down" article. It doesn't add anything new to the conversation and overlooks some obvious things:

A) The intentional shutdown of Project Astoria; which is more proof that Astoria was on the verge of BlackBurying the platform, if for no other reason than it would be yet another bullet point in articles such as this.

B) It's glossed over, but as much as the author seems to want to stick with "Windows Phone" as a brand, the brand is dead. The trick is not for the reason the author asserts: it's not "yet another rebranding", it's an entirely new position that the author doesn't seem to understand/appreciate yet. There's no more Windows Phone (RIP), because there's now just Windows, on a mobile form factor.

So yes, Windows mobile device form factor sales are down, but Windows device sales in general are up. Microsoft is clearly and intentionally counting on the platform effects of Windows keeping mobile efforts cheap in the long run and maybe bring developers to some excitement in building for the platform as a whole, across all device form factors.

I think the closest to a "Microsoft Android" will continue to be Microsoft providing toys for Cyanogen's efforts, and I think Cyanogen's efforts themselves (and Amazon's) show the limits of commercial viability for non-Google Play Store Android forks/alternatives.

There are just too many ambiguities in what is considered sexual harassment

Just as there are many ambiguities in what exactly constitutes a 'marginalized class,' which makes your intentionally giving special treatment to certain groups problematic.

I recognize that my position may keep me from being part of the problem but also prevents me from being a part of the solution because I won't be aware of problems or able to offer meaningful support. I'm not sure what else to do.

These are the truly negative and pernicious effects of outrage culture, and what is actually deserving of condemnation. It marginalizes thoughtful individuals such as yourself. Who feel they must constantly walk on eggshells, lest they be accosted by a twitter mob.

Yes individual instances of shitty behavior obviously need to be dealt with appropriately. But painting with hugely broad brushstrokes and marginalizing all men, or all white people, or whoever, as is done in this constant stream of 'think' pieces is terrible for our society.

Not to say there isn't some truth in some of these issues. But another negative effect of these panics, is that people get the message that it is better to err on the side of interpreting themselves as being a victim rather than not. So this constant media bombardment of this sort of thing actually is making whatever problem may be there worse.
At the very least I don't think Flutter is wrapping native UI components. Flutter renders its own widgets written in Dart and using Skia as the underlying graphics library. So it seems more like QML in that sense.
"Looking at my facebook newsfeed nowadays, for example, there's an awful lot of sharing going on, but it's not original content"

Maybe I'm just teasing easy confirmations of my theory -- very probably the case -- but I truly think that is the inevitable end-game that Facebook has hit, that Twitter has hit, and that Instagram is rapidly shooting towards.

When the circle of reciprocity breaks -- when people break the "contract" of earning cheap accolades by giving cheap accolades -- it starts to become embarrassing posting original content. When you post content and get a single digit of likes, it's demotivating for many and makes them feel like a social failure, so pretty soon it's just regurgitated memes and the like. I've seen this play out across a number of age groups, to the same eventual outcome. And I didn't look at this cynically but it was a theory I floated years ago about Flickr, so I watched to see if it would happen on Facebook. I truly believe social networks should allow users to hide all likes/shares/etc, but they won't for a very good reason - gaming users.

"You might be a little cynical with the comment about feigning interest though"

We all have close family and close friends who of course we have a personal, sincere interest in. But as you go out the sincerity declines at a perilous slope. But Instagram and others aren't built around sharing with a few close friends.
The forethought that this technology needed was FOIA requests and their impact on average people. It would be so much better if they farmed this kind of a thing out to private industry and bought only the information they needed.

The title of the author's article is in the same vein of the ones being lambasted in his closing paragraph.
Modern compilers are smart enough to catch type safety bugs for most printf use-cases.
You can always do it close to original implementation. A straight-up clone. Should preserve at least most of the logical-level countermeasures.
The Rust approach is, Rust's safety guarantees work for concurrency, but the details of that concurrency are left up to libraries, not the language. Since the safety is in the language, things are always safe, but you get the flexibility to do what you need.

You have to remember, Rust is a systems language. Which means that you need access to what the system gives you, and that means at least OS threads and both synchronous and asynchronous IO. We can't just decree "the world must use only aio and green threads", or we would be compromising Rust's fundamental design goals.

I'm genuinely curious what your wife's take is - she may see it a little differently from you.

So, I just had lunch with my wife, and she pretty much agrees with my take. She views her main problem as the act of a single, albeit misogynist, individual, and not a symptom of a systemic problem. Moreover, she expressed surprise (like myself) at the suggestion that astronomy is full of sexual harassment. She can't imagine my colleagues or former colleagues being like that. That is not to say that problems we can't see don't exist, of course.
Respect...exactly right!

I've never had a problem and the respect is reciprocated for 20 years now in my career. I've never had to excuse myself either, if it's only 2 people in the room just start a damm conversation. Talking is really easier than you think.
A quick Google solves that problem. Anyone that wouldn't do that much is unlikely to be valuable to the project. It's a nice filter at the least.
