Thank you for succinctly explaining why I like living in a large and dense city, where there's a culture of not giving a shit what nearby people are doing and letting each other be somewhat anonymous. Of course that can have its downsides, but being allowed to not be perfectly conformist is a major upside.

I don't have kids but if I did, this is exactly the kind of nasty thing that would make me think twice about moving to the suburbs, extra space and yards be damned.
> including those communicated implicitly through naming

As an aside, this is an aspect of what I like about choice of names like "Functor" and "Monoid". There is very little room for ambiguity.

Further aside... In Haskell, there's still "do we include operational equivalence?" and "are we considering equivalence only up to bottom?". But at least the guarantees around the semantics for non-bottom values are reliably uncontroversial.
I claimed it was hard to find stocks that move 10% intraday, in the direction you want, before they have moved 10%. Trading is about profit after all.
It's like saying a multitool is more versatile than a hammer. It's true, but a multitool still makes a shitty hammer. If I want a hammer and you hand me a multitool I'm gonna be disappointed.

Yes, that was for the specific case of Node. For web use, full compilation is a clear loss.

Java can make great use of JIT exactly because it's interpreted. When you make partial compilations, you lose a lot of JIT opportunities, and a lot of static optimization opportunities too. Yet, it looks like V8 attenuated this somehow, and got good performance anyway. Must have been a feat.
Today I stumbled upon this video of a fully electric, Croatian-made Rimac Concept One vs a Tesla Model S P90D vs a LaFerrari. The Rimac Concept One destroys everything.

"Joining" makes it ambiguous whether "y has bought x" or "x was sold to y".

It also seems to be used sometimes as a mask for acquihires (but I don't think that applies here).
Wow, remind me not to hire you for a job then.

As an employer I am paying you to put my work ahead of yours.

I am paying you to be productive so that with the collective production of the employees, the company can outmaneuver the competition.

This lackadaisical approach and work-ethic means that, of course the mile high task list will always be there. It'll never ever get done!
This would be great! A while back I signed up for Paperback (https://readpaperback.com/) to handle this for my Pinboard account, and then wrote my own using the Ruby Readability library.
It's possible to draw a lot of current from a lithium battery for very short periods, as well have pull a lot of current through a conductor for short periods.

I remember doing the calculations for some of the batteries I used in RC planes and being surprised the battery was capable of delivering 4kW continuously for minutes.
I think that you can have these speeds with Bugatti and Porsche only if you are a good pilot. With tesla, you can do it if you have a foot.
If there's one thing The Pokemon Company and Gamefreak can do well it's to iterate. There will always be an opportunity for Nintendo to make an in-house sequel. Niantic can and should be cut out of the picture in the future.
Possible, possibly dubious: search engine optimization.
Reasons to be cautious:

>Moreover, even if NR supplements do provide an immediate jolt to muscle mitochondrial metabolism in the way that the Harvard NMN studies suggest, it’s not clear that doing so is a good idea in the long term. NMN injections don’t improve mitochondrial function by repairing molecular damage wrought by the aging process in the organelles, nor in other cells and biomolecules whose damage with age results in a dampening-down of mitochondrial activity. Instead, NMN injections leave the existing damage in place, and induce the still-functional mitochondria to work harder and pump out more energy. This is rather like pushing harder on the gas pedal when your car is not running at full power due to damage to its cams and push rods: it may make the car go faster in the short term, but the underlying damage hasn’t been fixed, and will likely get even worse from the excessive wear.

The Bugatti folks might have a legitimate beef, but I don't think it makes sense to count the unpurchaseable Porsche models as 'production cars'.
There is no such thing as a "type safe language". Type safe is a subjective value judgment.
I wish that were true. Notice that I did not mention a stock miata or stock 911. A properly setup miata can and will outpace a modified 911 on certain tracks (not autocross). Of course, the driver is a key element, but will still happen with equal drivers.
I think its just a matter of time before this happens (its mature enough or an important app is released).

Julia is designed for general purpose computing from day one, but this community is not dealing with the same painpoints that scientists have been.
It is also to help influence people considering buying other electric vehicles... so if you're considering a bmw i8 or waiting for porsche mission e, you might think... this will help promote electric vehicles for the masses.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

I'm curious (after reading the book review): when you saw the psychiatrist, was the medication the only treatment? Or was it combined with other (non-medicinal) treatments as well?
Just did some number crunching and it appears Holland spends roughly half as much on advertising per capita than the US.

For "head down" type of work, it often helps me to start on that before looking at my email. If you have some work that you already know you want to finish today, start on that right away for a couple hours, with your phone/email/instant messenger notifications disabled.

If you come into work, fire up your email, you may find a number of emails that you want to respond to right away, despite them being low priority. Granted, this is how I do start most of my days. But when I really need (or just want) to get an in-depth task accomplished, the best plan is to tackle that first thing. At most, I might scan my email to make sure there isn't any emails with the subject of 'immediate response required for you to keep getting a paycheck' or 'the datacenter is on fire'.
Colossus: Face to Face with the First Electronic Computer
I don't think that line is for the people who can afford this expensive car. Rather, I think it's for the people who want a Tesla, but are frustrated that they can't afford one. Basically, it's saying, don't get angry at us for selling this super expensive car you can't afford! We're using revenue from its sales to make the car you will be able to afford.
They don't vary in the taxable status. Any[1] income you receive is taxable. The IRS doesn't care if it is a "fellowship", a "stipend", or "wages" - or if your school considers you a student or an employee - if you got income, it needs to be reported. And if you don't get a W2 (and withholding), it is a big pain to deal with the estimated taxes. You only get leeway for failing to pay estimated taxes for your first year. After that, you're supposed to know that you owe taxes and can (and will) be hit with penalties. The timing issues only come into play with "seasonal" or farm work... for these purposes, the IRS will assume you're paid on a regular basis, and thus owe estimated taxes on a regular basis.

It makes it really fun when you and your spouse are both grad students, and have to deal with that twice.

[1] Okay, not everything, but for the purposes of this discussion, yes.
I lived there for about a decade too, had many friends who weren't white though.
An undergraduate going to school on a university scholarship isn't doing work (such as laboratory research or being a TA or teaching intro classes); these graduate students are.

When the undergrads at my alma mater were TAs or research assistants or whatever, they were absolutely considered part-time employees of the university, in addition to their student status. If they were doing full time work, forty hours of work a week, they would have been considered full time employees. Why should those employees not be subject to the same employment protections afforded to the non-student employees?

I want to know what's its range when driven at maximum speed...
Firstly, I built text-to-speech playlists so I'm glad that you're enjoying that feature and making good use of it. It's kind of a weird one but good for driving commutes, etc.

I'll reiterate here that Instapaper will remain as a separate app, with separate functionality, and a focus on the reader. There are no short-term or long-term plans to modify the user experience of Instapaper.

In the blog post we detail that "Instapaper provides a compelling source for news-based content" for Pinterest, and that portions of the parser technology will be used throughout Pinterest.

For Instapaper, it means leveraging the technical expertise, support, and resources at Pinterest.
Interesting idea, why not make the battery in segments and removable. Weight affects range too, so why not make the battery as 4 segments, and if you're just going to have a 30 minute daily commute, you could take out 3 segments and have enough range while saving weight, and the environment. If you want to go for a weekend trip you'd plug in the other segments.

Obviously it'd be a bit of a nuisance and probably the segment that is always in the car will die first, because it'll have the most cycles. Unless the software controls which segments you can remove and do some wear-levelling.
Yes, Pinboard with his massive legal team.
so, if you modify a cheap car, it can go faster than more expensive ones?

as per usual, a car thread on the internet that has yielded another set of incredible insights.
No plans to change the Instapaper API.
I dunno, I found video of Usain Bolt's 2016 100m in less than a minute of looking around on nbcolympics.com. Though I'd have to imagine that that content is geofiltered, since AFAIK NBC only has streaming rights within the US.

NBC paid the IOC something absurd like $12B for exclusive US media rights for the games through 2032. Territorial broadcast rights agreements are a huge source of funding for the IOC. It's hard to imagine how they'd maintain these revenue streams if they abandoned the exclusivity aspect of their media agreements, which likely implies that the games would suffer in some way.
Is Readability the corporation still solvent? They haven't had any app updates in over a year.
I think you kind of lost the plot here. In this context, "real" means the actual fact-based risk, rather than an imagined risk. For example, if you've flipped 10 heads in a row, a human suffering from the Gambler's Fallacy might think the risk of a tail is 90%, while the real risk is still about 50%. We're not talking about "real risk" as a synonym to "significant risk."
There are already 6-8 major scrapers that do this constantly, across the whole internet, called search engines. You can't handle that?

What if you get a normal user who says "Hey, I wanna see some of the lesser known authors on this platform" and opens up a hundred tabs with rarely-read blogs? What if you get 10 users who decide to do that on the same day? Is it reasonable to sue them? Should there be a legal protection to punish them for making your site slow?

Don't blame the user for your scaling issues. If the optimized browser ("scraper") isn't hammering your site at a massively unnatural interval, it's clean. And if it is, you should have server-side controls that prevent one client from asking for too much data.

These are just normal problems that are part of being on the web. It's not fair to pin it on non-malicious users, even if they're not using a conventional desktop browser.
There are no plans to kill the product so we haven't had those discussions.
What gives you the impression I think that?
Only for some algorithms. Many RL algorithms can learn off-policy. Or you can treat it as a supervised problem: "given this image, predict the taken action". (Think of AlphaGo initially being trained to predict human players' next moves based on a large KGS corpus of games; no interaction or access to Go games required.)

Admittedly, I'm not entirely sure what you would do with any of that after all the learning is done, if you don't eventually have one of those very expensive robot arms to use.
It might actually depend on the school . . . and maybe even the grad program . . .
To add to my other comment: the technical criticisms of Node have already been stated and were widely known. So if you're going to argue that using Node in a server environment is a technically sound choice, it's up to you now to respond to the criticisms.

And let's be clear: these are technical criticisms and if you could respond to them it would be with a technical defense of Node. Continuing to attack critics of Node or claim that we haven't already met our technical burden of proof only goes to show that your defense of Node is bankrupt from a technical perspective.
I watched an interview from 2008 where elon said the same thing about the roadster.

He was implying development costs, not marginal costs. The Model S is meant to be profitable.
> markets can drift far from the ideal even absent of government interference

But only government interference can lock the market in that state in perpetuity, eliminating the corrective forces of price and competition.

> Are we to believe that information asymmetry is all rooted in government interference?

Of course not. But businesses that are able to satisfy more consumers through better transparency are going to win market share and increase profits.

Asymmetry exists in most business situations though. That's the whole point of specialization in the economy: some people have greater knowledge, skill, or training in a certain area and are able to provide more value to the consumer. It is worthwhile for the consumer to trade money in exchange for the specialized service rather than spending years to learn that craft to perform the service herself.

The cornerstone of the free market is satisfying consumer demand. Firms that fail to do so are destroyed quickly and effectively when the consumer stops purchasing their product.

> abundance of sustained profits is also a signal that the business is doing something wrong

What? Please explain.
What do you mean by actual value? There's going to be variance in each run so I'm assuming they mean expected value as in "average" time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_value
okay well lets delve into the science here:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27489770 "Quantifying patterns of brain activity: Distinguishing unaffected siblings from participants with ADHD and healthy individuals."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27471442 "Neural Biomarkers for Dyslexia, ADHD, and ADD in the Auditory Cortex of Children."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27422412 "Network Structure among Brain Systems in Adult ADHD is Uniquely Modified by Stimulant Administration."

as you can see there is no ambiguity that ADHD is a biochemical and neural network-grounded disorder backed by a galaxy of studies. the sad fact is that stimulants don't work for up to 20% of people with ADHD, dooming them to dysfunction.

and yes, the pharmas are greedy, and promote overdiagnosis. and yes, modern life promotes ADHD-like symptoms-- but the whole point of ADHD is that it's a priori relative to life experience.
You can theoretically test for the vectors and byproducts used to insert the DNA segments.

Also it seems like you could theoretically sequence an athlete as a baseline and then compare future segments to their original DNA.
Looking good! Can't wait to try.
There are people who excel at software design, but they don't excel at teaching others how to design software. So the best you get is, you can hire them.
>As an employer I am paying you to put my work ahead of >yours.

Maybe you're an employer in a 3rd world country so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but no worthwhile employer in the US would even pretend to expect that.
I love those early morning hours. Getting up a 4 am, I can walk the dog, go to the gym, play in my garden, read a few chapters, make breakfast, and catch up on the news before the rest of the world even starts.

Even better on the days I don't have to come into the office, since I can start work at 7:30 or 8 and get most of a day's productivity in before the deluge of emails and meetings hit, rather than spending the better part of an hour hating everything on the commute in.
There's plenty done to help them. Most of them just don't want it. They prefer to buy lotto tickets, bad food and watch TV and in their spare time, fall for greedy scams like this one.

You can forcefully take something from a person, you can never forcefully give them anything. Stop with the delusions.
I don't think anyone said that graduate students are not students. They just said that if they're teaching and researching for universities, that they are employees, and have employee rights.

Is a university scholarship conditional on your performance? Are you producing anything that's of value to your university as a grad student? Even if you can't draw a clear line between post-grad and grad, that doesn't mean there isn't a line being crossed. A grad student will be working on a thesis for 6 months to a year, a Phd for 4 years! That distinction alone is worth making sure that these people are getting their times worth and their due rights during that time.
Nice trivia
Sheet metal screws would be better than bolts at hanging drywall. They still wouldn't be good at it because that's not what they're for, but they at least have a pointed tip that can dig into the drywall and penetrate it compared to a bolt with a flat tip that is going nowhere without a pre-drilled hole.

Personal taste and dialect are all well and good, but when Screwco sues the US government to say they shouldn't have to pay the screw tariff, because they're actually importing bolts not screws, the government lawyer can't stand in court and say "Well, your honor, we think it's our personal taste to call these things screws and those things bolts because that's just what we think and it's common sense, everyone knows it."

The government has a much stronger argument if they can say "See we published this document which specifically defines what we consider a screw and what we consider a bolt and as you can see this object has the physical characteristics of what we call a screw, so Mr. Screwco does in fact have to pay the screw tariff."

Personal taste is not generally a legally defensible position, which is what I'm assuming the purpose of this document is, not a philosophical treatise on the existential nature of screws vs. bolts.
I didn't while working on my PhD at Brown. They were actively hands-off about the tax implications of a stipend, telling new students nothing, and if asked, saying that it was the students' responsibility to figure it out. Difficult enough for me as a US citizen, probably hell for a foreign student on a visa.

It's not clear that this ruling would force Brown and others to give W-2s or 1099s, but I hope it does because fuck them for ignoring students' legal needs.
This is a really big deal. We should all be really worried that A/ folks in charge of this much of the economy are acting this way B/ our culture expects the taxpayers to bail these people out.
I just realized that my post was extremely easy to misread :/
I hope it's fixed now.
When I was building liisted.com I scraped using Selenium and it worked great.
That would be an amazing service. You could even provide short advising narratives, similar situations from novels, films, etc. and their conclusions to help guide the user to act appropriately according to their goal. It would be like a friend relating a, "Yeah, that happened to me once, this is what I did," kind of story except the stories would be pulled from hundreds of sources.
See my post above... I feel there is less of a culture of giving a damn what other people are doing and more of a culture of just letting them go about their business in NYC than more suburban areas.

Children growing up in many neighborhoods in NYC seem more autonomous. Of course, that's technology too -- they have access to public transit and a dense bikable/walkable environment, while suburban kids are stuck living with outdated misplanned car-centric infrastructure and basically live like prisoners reliant on their parents to ferry them everywhere until they turn 16, or even much later depending on their access to driver's education.

Just one example, I'm sure there's suburbs in the US where CPS would be called if someone was biking around with their child in the back of the bike [1] but that's perfectly commonplace and OK in NYC.

The shoreline has probably changed a lot in the 400 years since that area was settled.

Also, the IPCC report contains a graph showing that temperatures have been increasing pretty steadily since the 1930s, so it's entirely possible that this is due to climate change.

Damn, 800,000 grasp attempts? Pretty nuts that they need this many... but I guess without tactile feedback, only relying on visual feedback you need this many attempts to get it right.
For someone who knows absolutely nothing of the OP's circumstances, you sure are confident in asserting he is overpaid and under-worked.
I was thinking about that "no reasonable way" comment. When you uncompress the first block, you will find the first tar header. From that you can know the uncompressed offset of the next tar header. If the compressed stream does support random access, you should be able to uncompress a block (assuming uncompressed block size was a multitple of 512 bytes) to get to the next tar header. You can repeat this until you get to the file you are looking for.

With large files, this approach would be of huge value. If the files tend to be no larger than block_size - 512, there will be no speedup.

Of course, this would need to be implemented directly in tar, not by piping the output of a decompression command through tar.
