>Why learn Tai Chi or Yoga?

To my knowledge Yoga has never been practiced as a form of combat. Tai Chi is rarely taught as such. To actually answer your question, look at why those things are taught: wellness.

>why are people still playing american football?

If your goal is to get rich playing sports, and you're good at your sport, then football is a great choice to make. It's one of the largest sports in the US, minimum pay is something north of $500k / year. I'm not sure why you even put this in here.

>Why do people join a football team when the coach is obviously garbage?

You've decided to pursue a career in football. Where you live there is one choice. Or, possibly, it's like why would you choose to work at Amazon these days? Short term sacrifice for long term gain (credibility gained from working there).

As a, possibly interesting, anecdote: I practiced Aikido for 10 years. Broadly painted, there are two major schools of thought in Aikido, those who want to pursue it as a traditional Japanese martial art, and those who want it to be more like the modern iteration of Tai Chi (at least as taught in the US). I was in the former camp, and was constantly frustrated with the latter. Stripping out the ideas of martial effectiveness and replacing it with new age philosophy did not result in a better promotion of wellness (not mental wellness and certainly not physical wellness) in my opinion, it just washed out the merits of the art. When you train yourself with a martial attitude, you work harder, you take your training more seriously, you develop focus, discipline, tolerance for pain. You push your limits. As your ability grows you put yourself in conflict with your ego and the nastier sides of yourself. Arrogance is a natural consequence, and you get the opportunity to temper that. It's only through doing that hard work that you can arrive at any sense of internal peace, at least in my opinion. Not just peace when you are laying in a hammock reading, but also peace in conflict.

Take away the desire for martial validity and replace it with New Age philosophy and you have a practice that creates the illusion of personal development while doing very little to actually achieve the aspirations set forth in its ideals. The time that should be spent honing your body and your personality is instead spent on an activity not much more useful than laying in a hammock reading. Fun? Yes. Intellectually stimulating? Sure. But not in line with making progress towards the stated goals.

I think Scala's still growing - I think OCaml is too. I'm worried that between Dotty and the focus on Java 8 support in 2.12, we've gone far too long without improvements to Scala syntax, or indeed a new release at all. Having written Scala professionally full-time for 4+ years I couldn't stand to go back to a language without higher-kinded types, which pretty much means I'm stuck on Scala or Haskell.
Definitely deliberate. Captions say "Photo Illustration."
Typically one uses keywords in a grant application (and its associated scientific papers) to signal relevance to a funding agency. In the USA, "Psychiatric illnesses" is an NIH paper, while "figuring out consciousness" is a NSF paper, "augmenting soldier's consciousnesses" is a DARPA paper, etc.
Python is so easy to write, use and read, I would not understand how a programmer would not know it already.

It literally has everything you want in a language.

Granted, it's not on-the-metal fast, and it still has some gimmicks, like variables behaving like pointers or references (which can be a little awkward), but still, python is the language of the decade.
The number of higher education institutions more than doubled in Brazil in the last decade.

I'm not an expert, but I think this was largely because of a government program called FIES, which finances private colleges and universities for students and the student will only pay the government a year after receiving the diploma. Payment is divided into very low portions. It is an excellent deal for the student and the educational institution. This program was greatly expanded in recent years and almost every student was able to receive funding.

With the crisis, the program suffered a major cut. I believe this will further increase the spaces not occupied.

Three Simple Ways to Get Online with a Raspberry Pi Zero IoT Device
this can mainly be attributed to nationalization, the chinese government bringing all traditional elements under a single authorized form of martial arts.
so, real esoteric arts will eventually disappear in favor of state-sanctioned 'wushu', which is still effective, just not as rare and revered, and more of a dance than something readily applicable to fighting or defense.
I guess it's a personal style choice, the Python code is more performant(less iterations over the data set), but I like the ruby version better.
Natural Selection Did Not Prepare Me for Social Media
China is creating its own IP, but so far, primarily for use inside China. Far more people inside China use U.S. IP, than vice versa.

China are trying to transform their economy to be more internally self-sufficient, and are making progress. But the position they hold in the world now, at least economically, was built by manufacturing for export based on foreign IP.

I'm not trying to say that the Chinese people are dumber than Americans--they're not. I'm talking about the macro-economics of how we got to where we are today.
True, but studying the theory gives a better intuition for big-O. And theory is helpful for some of the edge cases that can be more complicated. For instance, I wouldn't want to try to determine the run-time of a recursive algorithm with just the info in that article.

To some extent, yes. When people spend enough time in their given field to know the ins and outs, those less scrupulous tend to bend the rules more and more. While not _strictly_ against the rules it often ends up going against the spirit at the base of the industry.

Very few traders went to jail after 2008. Seemingly legal (or at least not illegal). Should they have? Most bright/talented lawyers are likely working (again within the law) to get megacorps or rich people off for something poorer people would not. In our field this OP is one of the issues. What information is free and what information is not? What things I'm allowed to do offline am I allowed to do online?

I'm not proposing a solution, but any system populated by humans will be abused by some, and fought for by some idealists, all within that systems rules.

Let's take murder:
I stab someone: murder.
I use a broom to push a flower pot off a balcony hitting someone in the head, killing them: murder.
I swat a butterfly in Beijing, causing a chain of events to a container crushing a dock worker in Rotterdam. Murder? If this extreme example comes down to intent it's thought crime, otherwise I'm playing within the rules of the system, and I just killed someone, scot-free.

While there apparently were no laws prohibiting the upsale of bad mortgages, and banks having the resources to move the market towards more and worse mortgages, that also was within the systems rules, but I personally think it's far beyond the intended use of that market, and well outside the spirit of the laws.

There's a huge difference between judicial justice and what most would agree was "justice". That's where my first comment came in. True about most systems.
I have no idea how to implement fresh unification variable generation (my type system is a superset of Damas-Milner, kind of like how the calculus of constructions is a superset of System F-omega) in Coq or Agda. Everywhere I've seen it implemented, it involves mutable state. So, “in principle”, I could fake it using something like the state monad, and plumbing around the collection of unification variables generated so far, but in practice reasoning about this seems like a pain.
IIRC government-produced stuff is all in the public domain.
> Plus any good friends will be there a year from now

It's been 17 months since I made a similar decision. I'm not entirely sure if my friends will be there when I come out the other side. They think I "hate" them because I've decided to put work before life.
What's the point if it's not public? Wouldn't it be faster to just wire money as it's being done currently?
> Neither have I been in a situation where big-o was relevant beyond the basic concept of not doing obviously stupid shit.

How do you know you are doing stupid shit if you don't know about complexity and don't know your algorithms?

Really, I do work on CRUD applications from time to time, and I often have to select algorithms based on complexity. Yeah, didn't have to implement one of them for ages¹, but I do have to tell coworkers things like "here you use a set", "here you use a list", "this sorting algorithm isn't stable", or "nah, just use brute force and get done" once in a while.

1 - Or, better, did implement a B-tree for a side project just a couple of months ago. Ended up just throwing it away, but I didn't know I wouldn't use it at the beginning.
I'm fairly certain my friends have tagged me at restaurants and famous bars but my only food interest is panipuri.
On the street, techniques that rely mostly on inflicting pain aren't so great. This is why chokeholds and debilitating joint locks are preferable. You may not feel the pain (for whatever reason) but your arm is still broken and no longer functional. Or you're unconscious.

The weakness to BJJ is that if there's more than one person, things can get hairy for you, and the training doesn't focus on this much (or at all in most places I think).

Maybe I'm not thinking about this correctly...

but couldn't you use this to stalk your spouse ??? Or neighbor ??? Or anyone else really ???

Could also be used to follow councilmen, or even representatives and senators around and document their meetings. Tip off the other party's operatives, (for a price), and have them waiting with photography equipment at the senator's next liaison.

Any car that's safe for the road can already maneuver hard enough to injure unsecured passengers in at least three directions. The rear seats and high acceleration add one more direction, but also largely subtract the opposing direction, so it's a wash. You have to accommodate your passengers with how you drive in any car.
Comments like these can only really have two causes:

- You've bought into the anti-intellectualism wave that's going on in the US.

- The universities near you are really poor.

Is it really the case that you learn so little on these universities that you literally have no advantage over those who didn't attend?
But by law at the classier restaurant, they have to pay minimum wage.

If minimum wage is $8 an hour and the server has a base wage of $4 an hour.. by law, if they had no tips - they would need to be compensated to go up to minimum wage.

Reduce doesn't have side effects, handles an empty collection, doesn't need to reference the index of the iterable, and self-documents the code as a fold. I find the last part nice because a loop or a Python comprehension would need to add a comment to explain what would otherwise be clear from the syntax.

Here's an alternative example where I think it makes sense (checking if the size of all elements in a collection are equal):

reduce(lambda a, b: len(a) == len(b), ls)
As a cyclist of 40 years who's (hopefully) learned from their mistakes, I strongly disagree.
Not only is it unsafe, pisses-off drivers and pedestrians, gives cyclists a bad name, but it's also completely unnecessary because you'll easily catch-up with cyclists who shot the lights at the next intersection anyway without even trying.
That's what cyclists who shoot lights don't get is that it's actually not any faster in the long run.
Having said that, I suspect that many drivers who are pissed-off by cyclists shooting lights would be the ones doing it themselves if they were on bikes because it's really just a form of road-rage. Yes, some cyclists are stupidly aggressive, but so are many drivers.
I once got a rejection from an internship application late one night a few hours after I applied. I wouldn't be really surprised if I had been automatically rejected. And my rejection might have been because the state university I went to was not specifically mentioned in the drop down list of schools, it was in the "other" category. I think I might have not gotten a rejection so quickly if I had been going to a target school like MIT or Stanford.
>What exactly is wrong with a man wanting to stay at home with the kids? Even if the mom does it during infancy (when, due to breastfeeding and so on, she's arguably a better fit), the dad could take over later, maybe the second year. How is this unnatural?

It's completely unnatural. So is you going to work. So is your husband going to work. The only thing that would be natural is both of you living in the woods as hunter-gatherers, as part of a tribe of hunter-gatherers.

As soon as we start talking about "jobs", "careers", or any kind of society that's bigger than a small tribe, and certainly anything involving technology beyond the spear or any kind of written communication, naturalness has completely gone out the window.

>IMO, people who smear a loving man being the primary caregiver for his baby as being "unnatural" are cruel and backwards.

They're also stupid, because as far as we know, there's nothing at all natural about having monogamous relationships. We really don't know how our distant ancestors lived socially, and the best we can do is look at primitive tribes that survived to modern times like the Native Americans, Australian aborigines, pre-contact Hawaiians, or various South American tribes. Not all of those were monogamous (Hawaiians in particular were highly promiscuous).

Anyway, back to modern society, what kind of craphole do you live in where your husband was "jeered at in the streets"? You might want to think about relocating to a better city.
I think we all know the root of that problem.
User Experience Engineering Tips for Financial Services
I think it's clear why you joined YC as it can be very beneficial to any company. The comment is questioning whether YC still remains to be a company focusing on the seed stage of investment. Nowadays it appears that a lot companies that go in have a business already in place and a significant amount of traction. This contrasts with YC's earlier companies in which many of them had only an idea or a prototype with no traction. Whether or not this is true I'm unsure of, but it definitely seems to be the overall perception of what YC has become.
Sure. Hardware is inherently not safe; the key is to build up safe abstractions around it by using the type system.
When I read the title originally, it reminded me of when Microsoft wanted MSN to replace the Internet, seemed like the exact same scenario.
The power ISA specs tend to omit quite a few details about the hardware itself. I wouldn't be surprised if documentation was internal only and the first time we get any details about it is when IBM patches some open source software to take advantage of it.
A quick peruse of the web will show that knowledge of these tips is far from widespread.
In my eyes, the "size of the delta" between, say, fish and bash, is similar to that between, say, Perl and PHP. Or C# and Java.

So I feel it's justified to say that fish is a different language than POSIX shell.
This kind of thing is just amazing to me as an American. I'm an atheist, but people have a fundamental right to express their personal values in their dress and practice their religion. France's bans on religious expression in the name of "secularism" are just a different kind of theocracy.

I find the order of iteration in Python for comprehensions totally confusing every time. If you want to convert:

for a in x: pass

into a comprehension, you write:

[pass for a in x]

Simple, right? So to convert

for a in x: for b in y: pass

I obviously write:

[pass for b in y for a in x]

Bzzt. Nope, you have to write it in middle-endian order to get the same behaviour.

I thought about this a while back, and it occurred to me that if you had a tribe of primitive humans, it would actually be advantageous if not everyone had the same biological clock. It might be useful to have a few people usually awake at night, guarding the camp, instead of everyone passing out quickly after sunset.

I think there is more to a degree than that, but you make a good point. Now a days, instead of trying to figure out a problem, coders try to figure out which framework has already figured out the problem. It allows for less experienced people to get things done, but limits you to being able to mortar together bricks rather than make bricks.

The problem arises when you need to make bricks. You don't necessarily need a CS degree to make bricks, but you need to learn most things taught with a CS degree.

I have tried your strategy with 0 change in results. Success in this matter is determined by many more factors than just being in above average shape and your trying to present it otherwise is disingenuous at best and harmful at worst.
I've had the same conclusion for a while. I'm not a social media junkie, but I use Facebook often enough that they should know a lot about me but their ads and their algorithmic content show that they have a long way to go in getting a computer to actually understand my behavior and interests.
Great news, more people discover how good Erlang(and obviously Elixir) is, especially comparing to Ruby/Rails. I hope more people are going to consider it.
Likewise...and when I have to work in Python it's a frustrating pain because the tooling is so much better on the Ruby side.

Heck, the tooling is better on the PHP side even...
NASA are extremely liberal with how you're allowed to use these images. There are other people selling prints of them, for example.

"Unless otherwise noted, images and video on JPL public web sites (public sites ending with a jpl.nasa.gov address) may be used for any purpose without prior permission, subject to the special cases noted below."

The "special cases" mostly deal with using the NASA or JPL logos, or using photos with real humans in them commercially.

Yeah, for a private individual who just wants a computer at home for surfing the web, reading email, etc., they'd really be much better-served with Linux Mint: no spyware, no advertising, no forced "upgrades" breaking their drivers, no Windows Updates putting their computer out of commission for 30 minutes right when they really need it, etc. But we're talking about businesses here.

Why do programmers try to convince others which programming language to use? Why should they care what languages others are using?
Yeah. One thing you don't learn enough about when you train in martial arts is that you can get royally screwed by the law. If a decent lawyer convinces a judge you're a deadly weapon (and a missing eye might help support that), then it's going to go badly for you. In defense of martial arts training, the general rule is don't ever fight civilians. And of course, the confidence of knowing how to fight leaves you with much less of a feeling of having something to prove.

I worked as a bouncer for awhile, and even though I was the only one who was competent in a fight, I never had to use any of it unless I was cleaning up someone else's mess. They'd all sit there and let things get out of hand before doing something, and then I'd have to go 'fix' it.
