Completely agree. I'm guessing most studies are done using population averages and perhaps with non-programming jobs.

It would be really interesting to study this specifically among start-ups, academics, or game developers where some people put in very long hours.
From the article

"Police officers questioned Shaheen for 15 minutes under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act, under which the police can detain individuals without grounds for suspicion of involvement in criminal activities, including terrorism."

So...someone over reacted/misunderstood, the police had a chat, and she went home. Detained is not arrested, it's not on record it just means you aren't allowed to walk off (IANAL but that's how I understand it).

I'm not a 100% sure but when I've used similar tools like this before the cached data coming from the web is the _content_ of the page, where the checked out repo I'm in is dealing with the _layout_ of the page.

You should consider hiring people because good candidates are hard to find. And if you want to know whether or not they're a good fit for the position, engage them in a conversation and ask. Don't expect applicants to do your job for you, the good candidates have better things to do than write you a letter before you even bother to talk to them.

It certainly was interesting to see reactions to Tesla's announcement of last quarter's production and sales numbers. They had the best production numbers yet, thanks to massively accelerated production in the last few weeks of the quarter. But that meant that many cars were in still in transit at the end of the quarter, which don't count as sales yet, even though they pretty much all had a customer's name on them. Thus sales were down for the quarter, and even though it's obvious that this was just because of when the end of the quarter happened to be, the press was full of "Tesla sales are down, they're so doomed" stories.

I can never decide whether the people who write these stories can't be bothered to do even the most minimal digging past the first number they see, or if they're doing this on purpose. Probably a mix, I guess.

Yes, too busy ramping up the pointless security theatre and getting the Met to make media photo sessions with their SWAT team.

Yeah, we weren't allowed to use graphing calculators in university Math Department courses either. However, Physics and Computer Science & Engineering courses it was okay to use them.

It was sort of strange though, you could take the same math courses at the local community college that allowed you to use a graphing calculator and transfer them to the university without an issue. I took a few there and enjoyed the classes much more, since they were taught by experienced teachers and not TAs.
>Why would a developer want to see a cached version of a page? A developer using this is actively developing the look and feel of the site so presumably would want to see the live version. This makes no sense and would only cause issues ("But it looked fine when I tested it locally a minute ago?!").

The assumption is that developers are concerned with the look and feel, client/owners are concerned with content.

I think they are just saying that until we can treat sex like the things you mentioned, biking, gardening or watching a movie, then it will be viewed differently.

And we are not going to do that any time soon. You're right any experience can be special. But they are saying special treatment, we handle sex differently as a society. And while I think openness and education about sex is great I don't want my kid to walk down the street and see people having intercourse.

I think it's like how we sexualize breasts. Other cultures do not to the extent we do because they are just treated like another part of the body. They are not covered, they are always there. We hide them and show them off to get a glimpse, but for the most part they are censored in most situations in the U.S. That makes them not "just another experience". It drives curiosity.

It will simply stop compiling the code and it will say "undefined method 'talk' for Snake". You will get a similar error if `talk` is defined as an abstract method in the base abstract class. So abstract methods are just a standard way to document this and to improve error messages. There's no safety hole here.
You should contact the archive team folks. It's likely that someone else might have the necessary drives to write them.

Is this rendering the page remotely and fetching it? If so, it seems like the only point would be to reduce the server load on their end.

> Do you really need the contents of the newest blog posts to be pulled in each time you want to test a CSS layout change?

You would need something. At the minimum a "Lorem ipsum ..." to see how the text flows. What better than the real content for that? Especially if you already have it.
Isn't this obvious because if you are friends with someone, it's likely they have more friends? A friends graph would end up with many branches and just a few roots, right?

One litmus test to check the usefulness of an abstraction is to see if it conforms to existing laws of the specific case.

Let's use distributivity of AND over OR:

a & (b | c) = a & b | a & c

This also works in the abstraction of Boolean algebra to normal algebra:

a * (b + c) = a * b + a * c

What about with your digit MIN/MAX abstraction:

MIN(a,MAX(b,c)) = MIN(MAX(a,b),MAX(a,c))

Well... No, this does not generally hold. If b and c are both larger than a, then this equality fails.

Distributivity is a pretty important property. Without it, your MIN/MAX algebra just has commutivity and associativity which arguably aren't very unique considering all other possible commutive/associative functions. In any case, losing a property dramatically decreases the usefulness of your algebraic abstraction.

Another wart in your abstraction is the missing NOT operation, further deteriorating its usefulness.

Just because the MIN abstraction works for the AND case, that's not enough to make it a worthwhile abstraction. What happens when you want to do more complex yet natural operations like a & (b | c)? In the same vein, AbstractManagerFactoryFactory may seem elegant now, but it may make it harder for new code to do trivial things down the road.

over 55 can afford to do jobs like cashier because they likely don't have to rent (in most cases)

Anecdotally, I know an astounding number of people over 55 that still hold a mortgage. Hell, I've known people who retired with a mortgage.

That extra space has a purpose and will still be needed with this thing installed. Gutters are not just there for drainage; they also serve as a space buffer between sidewalks and the road in places that don't have swales for separation. Shoulders are there for parking and getting broken-down vehicles out of travel lanes. Bike lanes are for, well, bikes. You lose those functions if you want to install this and not replace the thing you removed.

As for the ground area it needs, it appears that the rails are roughly the width of a suburban sidewalk[1]. Add guard rails to keep people and vehicles from interfering with it and you have close to half a travel lane on each side consumed by this. What then is the advantage to this versus taking a travel-lane's width for a tram or installing an elevated people mover?

It is not just about terrorism. It is a normal procedure to question people who travel from that region.

Most people traveling from Syria ask for asylum or have no valid travel documents, do not speak English and need some form of help. She could be someone who escaped ISIS and needed help.

Some other example: 20 years ago UK border force would question everyone who was traveling from Czechia. Because 0.1% of travelers from there would ask for asylum.

So you cannot travel from Turkey to UK without raising terrorism concerns? I am not sure we live in the same reality anymore.

So the behavior of a subclass of an abstract class depends on whether both classes are defined in the same module or in different ones:

(0) If Snake is in the same module as Animal, the error is that “john.pet.talk” is a call to a nonexistent method.

(1) If Snake is in a different module from Animal, the errors is that Snake doesn't have a talk method.

This isn't nice.

> That doesn't mean I can't want predictable performance or deterministic destruction.

Exactly. To just add to your point, there is no longer a reason to settle for GC pauses with Rust. It does require more thought while writing the code, but what you gain is a firmly consistent runtime. If your memory allocation is slow, you can create your own allocator/slab, and then use that for hot memory space and optimize it out.

As a longtime Java geek who never understood the argument against GC, this has been a mind altering experience. I was a big C++ person before, but after one too many memory leaks and segfaults, I could never imagine not wanting a GC. Then Rust came along and taught me better.
I disagree that we no longer have this freedom. The fact that it results in outraged articles in the mainstream media shows that the freedom still exists. When incidents like this stop being reported on, then we'll have lost it.
> Just face it: there is an need for something intermediate to fill the gap of a script-like, native compiled, low-overhead, modern language, and a GC is part of this. The popularity and "I want to be cool so I hate it" trend of Go proves this, but the devops space is getting new useful cool toys at a breakneck speed, pretty much exclusively written in Go.

You are right to point out the differences but you are missing an important point. Let me see if I can help you out in the reasoning: when the people say "treat [sex] exactly like you would any other experience" they actually mean to say this "treat [sex] in a more abstract but practical manner exactly like you would any other experience".

So the treatment of sex should be similar to other experiences at a more abstract level than at the experiences level.

To go the other way, we can say that even the different instances of various experiences are not equal. e.g. one eating experience is not exactly equal to other eating experience in one's life.

So what they are trying to say and seems like you might have missed is: the way our society treats other experiences, it must also treat the experience of sex and our society should not treat sex in an extremely special way the way we treat the experiences like murders.

Hope it helps.

I guess the reasoning behind the conclusion is here:

> When Hosoi compared the R values of FanDuel contests to actual professional sports teams, she found that the outcomes of real-life sports involved less skill and more randomness than

> their fantasy corollaries (with the exception of basketball, whose many opportunities to score reduce its randomness). In fantasy hockey, skilled contestants will succeed slightly more often than elite NHL teams will. In a real-world hockey game, a weird puck bounce can lead to a fluke goal.

> Because hockey games are relatively low-scoring, moments of randomness can have an outsized impact on the outcome of a matchup. To a lesser extent, the same is true in baseball and football, both games where scoring opportunities can be hard to come by.

But I think that's a flawed conclusion. The article notes that many unskilled players play daily fantasy as well. In the NHL (to continue the example), every single player and team is elite compared to all hockey players. If NHL teams played minor and rec league teams, their records would be stunningly lopsided.

We are now in a place where you are racist if you report something and you are wrong, and you are an idiot if you don't report something and something bad happens. Most people would rather be labeled an idiot, and we have yet another terror attack in Europe.
It doesn't matter for how long you are being stopped. Being suspected to be a terrorist just because you look vaguely Muslim (that was probably the other factor apart from the book) can be a shocking and live-changing experience. It tells you that you are not seen as a part of mainstream society in your home country (the woman is British). Given the HN demographics you are probably a white American male, so you probably never got into this situation and never will.
> I still think the Model 3 will be fully autonomous without a traditional steering wheel...
