And not enough of them in my opinion! It is a population where people will endure a lot of things before they lose their courtesy. People eating smelly food, stinking up a whole car.

At least part of the problem with Holborn is the station's horrific design. Each platform has only one entrance, and if you want to change from the Central to the Picadilly line (which many do) you have to walk directly through a flow of people who queuing for the escalator to exit the station.

This is compounded by the high number of tourists using the station (usually on their way to Covent Garden, or doing the aforementioned change.) For such an important station in London's infrastructure, the actual station design is terrible.

However, I think they should probably make their parser faster before they waste heat trying to make slow code finish sooner.
great questions; here's where we drew the line (our Terms of Service (TOS) were fairly standard): it was within the TOS to use a "poker assistant"--an app that worked with the Site client (eg, PokerStars, or in my case, bwin.party)--provided that this app was populated with hand histories that you have personally generated against the opponents you are playing against. In other words, you cannot mine hand histories in bulk, feed them to your "assistant" and then let it tell you how to play.

keep in mind also that the whales in online poker are not high stakes players but "grinders"--folks who quit their day job to play a very disciplined style on low-stakes limit tables comprised mostly of beginners, and which requires multi-tabling (maybe 6 - 10 tables at once) 8 hours/day. So against that background, a bot playing 10 tables simultaneously for 10 hours each day, from a distance doesn't look so odd.

Neah if you're going to work remotely there's way better places in Romania to live in than Bucharest.

Cluj Napoca for instance is a major university town with a lot of students, the costs got down and the areas get quieter and cleaner.

Oh and the internet service is identical since all cities offer about the same speeds all over the country.

I'm a bit partial to Cluj since I have a lot of friends who decided to settle there after graduating and have a bit better knowledge of the city than others but any similar city will do.
> rely on libc instead of the raw OS APIs?

The argument here is that on Windows and Mac OS X, the libc library is the ‘raw OS API’ and it hence makes perfect sense to rely on it if you want to support such operating systems.
I'm glad you're playing devil's advocate, and you're not wrong in that a single player could have multiple accounts, this was especially true on the Ongame network, as it provided the platform which sites could whitelabel to run their own poker room, with individual promotions/branding etc, while leveraging the benefits of a large shared player pool.

The thing that stood out was the length of the sessions played by these players. The regular professionals (regs) would play multiple tables at once, usually 4-8 tables (Ongame software was shitty and prone to crashing) for a few hours at a time (poker is mentally taxing). These guys were playing 8-12 sessions on single tables.

In terms of amateurs, I'm not taking offence, but many of us were playing full time for a living at the time, and their winrates were beating many of us, without any game selection (explicitly choosing to play with weak players).

The strategies were indeed novel - the one I can describe in layman's terms - they never just called a bet before the flop, they always folded or reraised. This is a huge paradigm shift from all conventional wisdom at the time, and a strategy that is very difficult to execute well (hard to go into details without getting into poker terms/theory).

While poker strategy was (and still is) constantly evolving the overall stats/strategies deviated so far from the norm that we all agreed we were up against a bot. Again, without going into details the strategy had a much more mathematical/game theory approach than the far more commonplace exploitative strategies that everyone was using at the time.

Officially, the results were mixed. It often happens that someone is just unaware of the situation and blocks the whole escalator. But personally I think that it works really well, moreso during rush hour. I only have a couple of minutes to switch trains and always ask people in a friendly manner to let me pass and they always respond well. I think it's good to raise awareness.
Similarly, when I input "make me a sandwich", I got "tv_onoff" as the intent.

I am assuming however, that you can "train" the AI to suit your particular syntax depending on your app and bot's intended purposes. No doubt as more scenarios are fed into Wit's database, the parsing and intent selection will get better?!?
Nothing really, it's fine. Based on the comments I read on HackerNews however, I think stability is a major issue in the US (US time zone). HipChat has be extremely stable for us, but we're using it when San Francisco is a sleep.

Eh, that just means you can't take the reviews at face value. Ignore the obviously disgruntled employees, treat fluff reviews as a small yellow flag, and look for the real dirt not so much in the angry reviews but in the disappointed ones.
Really... How is integration with something like Jira a negative thing, how could it be? If HipChat locked out all non-Atlassian products, that would be bad, but they don't.

> Sampling a bunch of the jobs listed for Seattle shows that most are senior level. Senior level in Toronto is less on average, but it's definitely not half as much in comparable places.

I fail to see the value in making a distinction in terms of seniority unless you have good reasons to believe why the Seattle postings on AngelList might be skewed towards senior level to a higher degree than the Toronto postings, but your point is certainly valid.

If we look at the aggregate data, Toronto and Vancouver have average salaries of $61K and $59K respectively, and Seattle and Boston, $92K and $91K. That's closer to 1.5x, so "more than double" was definitely a bit hyperbolic, but this vicious death spiral (of low Canadian salaries -> brain drain into the US -> under-competing Canadian companies -> rinse and repeat) has been taking quite a toll on the Canadian tech sector, and has serious implications for its future, so I'd rather err on the side of hyperbole over understatement because I have a vested interest in this matter as a Canadian citizen and tech worker.
News: Facebook Called Out by ZipMinis on Privacy
The DLR and Jubilee lines are automated.

The Northern and Central lines were automated within the last few years. The Victoria was automated since it first opened in 1968. Once the sub-surface signaling upgrade is completed, the Circle, District, Hammersmith and City, and Metropolitan lines will also be automated.

Automated in this sense means "driver controls doors and presses button to send train to the next station". When the rolling stock is next refreshed, the cab might be axed and instead it'll follow a similar model to the DLR today - a single person roaming the train checking fares etc and issuing the "close doors/move to next station" command from a panel near each set of doors.
>>[...] anonymous search data found that Americans ask “Is my son gifted?” more than twice as often as “Is my daughter gifted?”, even though young girls are more likely than boys to be enrolled in gifted programmes in school. Parents also ask “Is my daughter overweight?” nearly twice as often as “Is my son overweight?”, even though boys are more likely to be fat.

The article's use of "even though" implies a counter-intuitive follow-on conclusion. However, only the opposite of their counter-arguments made sense: Americans are probably asking "Is my son gifted" because it's simply more obvious that young girls are generally more cognitively advanced than young boys at a similar age. In other words, parents need more help (from Google) to figure out whether their boys are gifted or not, which is strengthened by the article's point that girls are more than twice as likely to be enrolled in gifted programmes.

Similar logic can apply to the second query, although there's also the confounding effect (or strong bias depending on your POV) of American media's portrayal of girls and society's views of what constitutes overweight vs. normal body fat percentages.

The Newtonian Casino talks about some students who designed a predicting computer, and smuggled it into a casino in their shoe. It was published in 1985, so anything they built would have been considerably less powerful than a smart phone, even one that several years old.

(It's a great book, and probably available).

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Newtonian-Casino-Penguin-Press-Scie...

One interesting part of the book was that croupiers knew the wheels so well that they were able to spin them, and throw the ball to land predictably.

EDIT: In the US it's called "The Eudaemonic Pie" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eudaemonic_Pie

> The book focuses on a group of University of California, Santa Cruz, physics graduate students (known as the Eudaemons) who in the late 1970s and early 1980s designed and employed miniaturized computers, hidden in specially modified platform soled shoes, to help predict the outcome of casino roulette games. The players knew, presumably from the earlier work of Shannon and Thorp,[1][2] that roulette wheels obey Newtonian physics, and that by capturing the state of the ball and wheel and taking into account peculiarities of the particular wheels being played they could increase their odds of selecting a winning number to gain a 44 percent advantage over the casinos.[3]
5m is an age in London! Most tubes arrive 1.8-3m apart at peak times (meaning average wait times of half that), and even at non-peak times it is rare to wait more than 3m. Unless on an outer branch of a line that must share its service between multiple such branches outside of the central metro area.

Most lines are having automated operation rolled out to them gradually as well; they just retain a driver to keep everyone happy. The busiest lines already are: Victoria, Jubilee, Central and Northern. The latter two were retrofits.

Notably, the Victoria line has no such doors, and currently runs more trains per hour than the Jubilee line, although this is slated to change, though it won't lead by much after the upgrade.
Ah, same here, havent noticed any stability issues either.
They're only 'self-harming' because they're a minority, and they stay a minority because people write off their opinion as "mentally insane". If more people were attracted to their movement, the State would change and there would be less harm - such is the way of all collective movements.

Its kind of like, the Quakers were 'insane' in the eyes of many, too. But look how that turned out.

Anyway, I see you don't care for my point, which is this: you can't just call people you don't agree with "mentally ill" and think this doesn't make you a bigot.

"The C++ community flames the Rust community" right in this thread. TFA didn't say there was no merit to the "safe C++ subset" [1], just that it's not here yet, it's not going to be as safe as Rust, and that it's often mentioned as if it's here and as safe as Rust, that's why TFA called it vaporware.

This thread is not refuting this claim but explicitly or implicitly blames TFA and "the Rust community" for misrepresenting C++ as dead, useless and not worthy of improvement.

Of course C++ is far from dead, enjoyed by some, and used by many more; TFA did not claim otherwise. Of course improving C++ helps those using it; TFA did not claim otherwise. All it claimed was that the current and potential future state of Rust relatively to C++ was misrepresented by people at the C++ side; I think you're more supporting than refuting this claim.

[1] I personally, unlike TFA and some commenters here, must say that I'm not thrilled about anything having to do with unique_ptr (which as TFA demonstrated is not guaranteed to be unique at all, but is as unique as its user made it) and other such; certainly if I have to rewrite an old code base to use new smart pointers, the change will involve every corner of that code base, and I think I'd rather rewrite it in another actually safe language if safety is what worries me. But that's just me; and BTW I haven't personally looked deeply enough into Rust to advocate for it, either.

Well, UK and US salaries are not really comparable. I live in North East of England, where rent is cheap, my health insurance is like $100 a month, I only work 37.5h/week, get 25 paid vacation days + unlimited paid sick leave.....in that context you don't need to be making $100k/year to have a decent living. If I was in London then sure, that wouldn't be enough, but out here in the North it's actually quite comfortable.

> I think the difference lies in the structure. Rumination is symptomatic of depressive thinking and often characterized by intrusive negative thoughts. Reflection on the other hand is the conscious process of sitting down and reevaluating a past situation (often in writing).

For a constant ruminator like me, learning to properly reflect has improved my life more than almost anything else.

I came to realize that I either suffered from intrusive thoughts that remained vague, oppressive, and kept returning in full-force, or I pushed the thoughts away by constant reading, activity, or various intoxicants.

But if I sat down and wrote unfiltered, or just more actively allowed myself to 'fully' observe the situation including the thoughts and emotions that came along, they would often start to untangle by themselves. Not always, but often enough that it really made me a happier person.

There are things that don't untangle themselves, and for that I'm seeing a therapist. But they're doing basically the same kind of thing (CBT-based therapy).
Pointer arithmetic isn't "something that I will surely never want to do"; it's something you want to do all the time in C (and therefore in C++ written in a more C-like style). Illegitimate uses of pointer arithmetic, such as your example, are only easy to detect in trivial cases like yours. I assume this is why no one has bothered implementing a warning for this special case.

In C++, directly using pointers to access arrays is often discouraged, in favour of using the standard collection types and their associated iterator types. So in code that follows this style, it is possible to warn about uses of pointer arithmetic, and the core C++ guidelines do suggest such a warning. But the guidelines also point out that "this rule would generate a huge number of false positives if applied to an older code base": https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/blob/master/CppC...

> That's interesting that you find being funny more time consuming.

With my friends and family I am more willing to express my feelings and opinions on subjective close topics where correct expression is more difficult. At least for me, that takes measurably more time than just stating facts or expressing opinions on more objective topics for customers (and sometimes friends, for example to organize an evening together).

Adding some business politeness just have to fit some template, is very unpersonalized and, I find, easily done.

But of course there are some difficult letters to write to business contacts to, but I would call them very self-reflective.

I think people like Knuth are more hand-written letter types, were someone is forced to reflect and to go to "the bottom of things", because the act of writing itself takes more time. But I think that it doesn't matter that much about which medium is chosen or how long it takes to generate the messages, because the persons that are generating those message chose how much time they are willing to spend on each subject. Forcing it though the medium might enforce a certain standard, that could help some people or is more bothersome for others.
