Yes, you are right. These are limitations of the PEG/recursive-descent style of parser-combinators, which FastParse is a member of. If you use a set of parser combinators that use a different execution model (e.g. https://github.com/djspiewak/gll-combinators) then the API will be similar, but the performance and runtime characteristics will be totally different.

anything and everything is marketed as "data science" and "data engineering" these days becasue this is the buzzword of the day.

I've been dealing with large data even before "big data" was a word but i dont call myself "data scientist" or "data engineer". I am still a software engineer working on what benefits my organization.

> we're still waiting on the ethernet port to go away but give it time

You have it precisely backwards.

Far from going away, everything became Ethernet.

Take a look at the modern interconnection standards: HDMI, USB 3.0, Thunderbolt, etc. They are all packetized transfer across an impedance controlled double pair of wires.
You could make a good start with the ideas from http://norvig.com/ngrams/ (a fancier corrector in the vein of the OP).
"Data Engineering" is most of the work that needs to be done, but I think companies haven't identified it as a category.

From my P.O.V., "Full Stack Engineer" is a place you don't want to be because it means putting out fires with whatever junk javascript is in the front end. It seems like everybody who's built a serious javascript application has invented their own Virtual DOM because none of the popular Virtual DOM libraries are good for much other than wasting time and CPU cycles.

"Data Scientist" is a bad title in it's own way, in the sense that "Computer Science" is bad, but worse. To a lot of people there is a Brahmin kind of attitude associated with "Scientist" -- i.e. an aversion to getting your hands dirty. Real world data is pretty dirty and you aren't going to get far in getting value out of it unless you spend 80-90% of your time dealing with the dirt.
>I said "brokering service" rather than "broker" for a reason, as a shorthand for a broad class of services

And what makes Airbnb a "brokering service"? Is it the 3% fee collected upfront instead of commissions being billed monthly like Ebay? Therefore, if Airbnb collected money differently to avoid the label of being a brokering "service", would the outrage about discrimination really be avoided? I doubt it.

>direct-by-owner rentals advertised through services that are more listing than brokering services, which do in fact discriminate on axes

What would Airbnb have to change to meet that definition? To me, the homeowners have to create their own listings and upload their own photos. It's not like real estate agents who create listings in the proprietary and closed MLS system on behalf of clients.

(Regardless of your answers, I'm going to ask some Airbnb hosts and see if interacting with Airbnb to them feels more like contracting with broker services or more like an listing an electronic classifieds ad. It's a fascinating psychological angle.)

I fully respect that you have figured this out (because you're absolutely not wrong), but have you ever considered trying to become a top-tier male? Like, throw in a serious year or two of hard work, weightlifting, social skills improvement, cooking, grooming, study, wardrobe, etc etc, to see how the other side lives?

It's not "easy", but now I'm just wondering... since you've figured out that modern society has nothing to offer such men, which most men will NEVER truly understand, why not become the opposite?

"Obligated to vote" is not how I'd put it, personally. Choosing not to vote is your right, but frequently the arguments I hear from people against doing so are things like "It doesn't make a difference, they're both liars" or "I don't follow politics". I don't find these reasons, on their own, to be particularly good reasons not to vote. It's the apathy that gets the choir singing. People are well within their rights to not vote, but my experience has been that the majority of people I've spoken with simply do not care to understand the impact that one candidate being elected over another may have on their lives, their family's lives. I find that irresponsible. Long story short, I support not voting insofar as the person not voting has given it some modicum of thoughtful consideration, and understands the ways in which the candidates, however terrible they might be, will affect our country if elected.
I feel that voting should be mandatory, but a "no opinion" option should be provided for everything.

"none of the above" is a valid choice, and it would help politicians get a better picture for what the general population wants (instead of the current situation of "compared to X i want Y")
The free market take is that competition allows for faster development of more newer, better, cheaper drugs overall. That may mean the occasional crazy pricing, especially in a constrained market where only a few entities can supply a need.

The socialist take is that the government should intervene in cases where a need isn't being met in a sustainable way by the market, and people are suffering.

Another way to look at it might be that one prioritizes the future over the present.

I don't think it's controversial to say that both these are true in certain situations, and sometimes those situations overlap (such as with medicine). In a perfect world, we would have all the benefits of both the free market and socialist takes, without the downsides associated with each. It's possible we might be able to approximate this somewhat, such as with Shkreli's suggestion that the government take over production of generics. Other options are better public funding of research and development, so drug companies can shoulder less of that cost (and thus charge less to recoup investment and make a profit).

In the end, I think neither system is perfect, and both have very real advantages that we need to be careful not to discount.

I would be very surprised if the probability of a guest damaging your property is not a function of gender, age, and economic class. There is a reason car insurance costs for young male drivers with bad credit are higher.
No vote is an option we've always had, it's just not voting, and we've been dealing with the nasty ramifications of the majority population "no voting" every election season (see: https://ballotpedia.org/List_of_current_members_of_the_U.S._...).
> how it was clearly altered by a third party candidate, with actual serious ramifications (war, etc…), I can’t support this view (at least not in a state that might matter).

Nothing was altered. You vote your conscience.

It's when people start playing games and vote for the less bad option because they don't want someone else to win that we get these kind of ridiculous candidates. Each candidate will take ridiculous positions and then essentially blackmail the electorate with "what are you going to do? vote for the other guy?". That is not a healthy recipe for a democracy.

There are no 3rd party candidates. There are only candidates. Vote for the one you actually want. There's plenty to choose from.
The Tasmanian tiger always reminds me a little of the efforts to introduce Moose into New Zealand (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose#New_Zealand).

"In 1900, an attempt to introduce moose into the Hokitika area failed; then in 1910 ten moose (four bulls and six cows) were introduced into Fiordland. This area is considered a less than suitable habitat, and subsequent low numbers of sightings and kills have led to some presumption of this population's failure. The last proven sighting of a moose in New Zealand was in 1952."

Fiordland is a wild and remote part of the country...

Machine Teaching: An Inverse Problem to Machine Learning [pdf]
I was referring to decades-past "artist's rendition" pictures depicting the future. Scenes of dramatic rocket launches and moon hotels, exotic-looking personal vehicles, surreal attire, and sporadic inclusion of alien life forms.

You're making my point. Your mother is simply alive. Your MiL sees like anyone else might. Cars are kinda ugly, but in a character-less way instead of "OMG that's butt-ugly", and simply travel farther and kill fewer people.

The reality of being in the "future" is that it's not visually a dramatic difference ... yet it is dramatically "futuristic" precisely because percentage-wise more people are leading normal lives, living on the Moon isn't interesting to most, and instant access to the near-sum-total of human knowledge just means more porn & cat pictures to amuse oneself with.

I agree even if AirBnB is the booking driver.

1) AirBnB has a history of poor support for hosts that have troublesome renters.

2) AirBnB does a terrible job screening renters.

3) This could be easily used against a host improperly. I had a group of sorority girls that wanted to book my house. They told me they had almost 40 women so I declined. I don't have a problem with women but this could be used against me in a legal battle. You have to discriminate as a host. If 10 young guys wanted to book my house too my radar would be off that they MIGHT be there for a party. It has nothing to do with being a bigot against age or gender but minimizing risk which AirBnB does not help with.

If they enforce instant book I could be stuck with 40 women at my house in a city I'm legally approved for advertising and sleeping 14 (it's based on 200 sq ft per person). AirBnB doesn't have all the local rules.

4) Let's say someone is bigoted and they own a house - if you're a potential renter in a group they dislike, do you really want to shell over money to them and stay at their home? Also, what are the chances that the bigoted host is going to provide a good experience or good customer support when required?

These booking sites are taking more money and providing less. They want to drop your ADR like Uber wanted to drop fares for wider appeal. And they avoid all liability. It's getting more and more unfriendly for hosts.
They yanked the clustering from the beta and put it into their Enterprise offering, so I guess you'll have to contact a sales rep for that kind of information.

> "Reusable integers" is a real fail - it violates the principle of least surprise and introduces a nasty inconsistency - all integers should logically be (refer to) the same integer object, not just the first 100.

I find the concept of special-casing ints to behave that way to be surprising and inconsistent. If ints act that way, shouldn't strings? And if they (very much unexpectedly) did, why not every other type?

"is" is very useful on its own. "variable is None" is a common and powerful idiom entirely distinct from "variable == None". There are many cases when you want to compare object identity. None of those use cases apply to ints where "==" is always the correct way to compare them, so the fact that "a == b" and "a is b" might occasionally be the same or different doesn't affect anything at all in practice.
Well it might change a lot as suddenly number of coders in their 40s goes up.
So, it does not matter what physiological effects may be triggered by the lose of blood. Someone has already decided to label "bloodletting" as "unscientific", so no person that sees themselves as rational may investigate the phenomenon ever again?

"I had it good and now I don't have it good and I don't know what to do about it" is a fairly formulaic structure for a human interest story, and while I really loathe human suffering, it's also hard for me to sympathise with the subjects in stories such as this one.

>“If you’ve worked at a large company for 10 years and get laid off, chances are your skills are six generations behind,” says Jonathan Nelson, chief executive officer of the Valley social network Hackers/Founders, which organizes meetups for startup developers.

10 years? To quote the character Samir from the film Office Space "It would be nice to have that kind of job security." I've grown up in a US workforce where staying in the same job for more than 2 years is essentially taking a pay-cut because raises / bonuses don't keep up with real-world inflation (milk & brisket, for instance). To further belabor my point, I joined the work force during a Recession, and statistics indicate my lifetime take-home (salary, benefits, etc) will be significantly lower than...well, what these folks enjoyed during their prime earning years. I won't even have a decent interest rate environment for my savings to grow without joining in the equities casino.

For the life of me I have a lot of trouble feeling sorry for their plight, and wish them all the best of luck packing up their possessions, their savings, and moving to a place they can afford, like Mississippi or Indiana.

Linking to Wikipedia without expounding which details you are referring to is a bit of sleight of hand. Specifically, what part of "separate but equal" [1] "legally required" that "separate" facilities for blacks have poorer conditions than the facilities for whites? I speculate that it's embedded cultural beliefs of hatred and superiority/inferiority (or, at a minimum, apathy) that caused those poorer conditions and discrimination to happen much more so than anything that was "legally required" or based on economic concerns.

Also, the issue at hand for Airbnb is specifically about hosts discriminating against potential guests. How do hosts that discriminate against guests encourage a "race to the bottom"? There might be parallels between discrimination a la Jim Crow and discrimination a la Airbnb hosts, but they aren't in the form of economic concerns. Your snark about learning history seems misplaced.

Every Bluetooth headphones I've tried have the same problem: they don't always work and they are fiddly. When they do work, I can even suffer the crappy sound quality (Apple refuses to implement aptX). But overall there is just way too much fiddling around (switch them on, switch them off, hold this button for that amount of time, etc) and too many cases when they suddenly stop working (dead battery, radio interference causing drops, etc).

I still remember the mindboggingly crappy Jabra sports Bluetooth headphones I bought, and the sinking feeling when I opened the box and found a hastily thrown in armband for the phone and an additional piece of paper saying that it is recommended to wear the phone strapped to your arm. Upper arm. Right arm, because that's the side where the receiver is. The effective range of these headphones was something like 30cm.

I don't want to fiddle with stuff in my life, I want to use it. I want to connect my headphones and have them work.

I see tons of them. If you're interested in ML, you're probably more looking towards data science.
