And according to Zach, the intended market wasn't just programmers (which is why he explicitly killed bit manipulation, and the largest number a TIS-100 register can hold isn't a power of two), and I've heard tales of non-programmers enjoying it.

Then again, if you like Zachtronics games, especially TIS-100, then have I got a hobby for you...
What do you expect to learn from this hypothetical sample database?

In my experience, a DB with hundreds of tables doesn't usually model its data any differently from one with a few dozen tables. It just has a couple dozen topical clusters of a dozen or so related tables, instead of just a few clusters of a dozen or so related tables.
I'm guessing this isn't so much the case in other cultures as I had a few male Korean friends who wore light make up.
Professor Winston (the lecture in these videos), also teaches a higher-level, seminar based AI reading class called "The Human Intelligence Enterprise".

I want to thank you for posting. I know that the groupthink around Git, especially on forums like this one, is so powerful that by even mentioning that Git has flaws and isn't some kind of angelic perfect software from heaven runs the risk of having a billion down votes.
No. Any dictionary definition of racism suggests a feeling of superiority over the race in question. Romantic preferences have nothing to do with it.
I'm nominally polyamorous as well. I haven't tried to maintain multiple relationships at a time (one is already so hard!) but I prefer to date people with polyamorous tendencies. It makes dating and commitment so much easier and all of my romantic relationships have translated into intimate friendships when they ended. I find that polyamory is a good proxy for flexibility and a more deliberate attitude towards cultivating relationships.
Of course. They're effectively excercises for the parts of your brain that you use most while programming.
Its internal MSFT humor from the 90s. RAID is the bug database in use at the time.

Triage was a harrowing time at the end of a 3 year release cycle where you make agonizing decisions about which bugs you will NOT fix. Always sad when its your baby that's going to be shipping with a wart, however a bug fix usually introduces an average of 0.25 new bugs so you have to stop somewhere.

If you never worked on traditional shrink wrapped software you may not get a feel for the agony that was triage. I still my remember my first WF (won't fix) bug, which is still there to this day. The worst part about it was you usually already had a fix in hand.

These meetings could get tense at times. Yelling and angry exits weren't uncommon.
Your argument might as well be "It's big brother acting in your best interest. Shut up, be thankful and just obey"

Technically yes. But you have to be careful - if you want the skeletons to match up at the seams, you have to make sure the overlap (overscan) is larger than the radius of any white area that's produced in the data -- basically the the 'skeletonization' thins out one pixel at every step, so with every iteration the 'effects' can travel one pixel far.

Basically you have to make sure that the overlap is larger than the number of iterations of the data, so it's a bit messy. In the meantime, our little sparse image library turned out to be pretty effective.
I agree that for most programmers it's more valuable to be able to communicate clearly, both in person and in code with the future reader.
Some of these are a bit more like real independent contractor relationships than others, so I don't think entirely the same questions are implicated. For example, someone renting rooms on AirBnB can set their own rates, house rules, minimum/maximum stays accepted, etc., which makes them much more like an independent contractor merely using AirBnB as a storefront/marketplace, than like an AirBnB employee.
I loved The Little Lisper/Little Schemer. The edition I used, at least, would work well to teach certain kinds of programmatic/computational thinking without a computer.

But I feel like I saw an actual curriculum without a computer recently, but now I can't remember what it was, curious to see if it shows up in this thread. Great idea for the incarcerated! I'm going to see if I can figure out what I'm thinking of.

Ah, I think I was thinking of the CS Unplugged that others have mentioned, sweet!

Thanks for this post, I think I'm going to buy a few copies of Little Schemer and CS Unplugged and ship them directly to a Books to Prisoners program I know that sends books to prisoners in response to topical requests.
My apologies. Here's another shot.

Taxis and public transportation systems SUCK. At least within the Los Angeles area.

It's obscene to pay regular taxi fares. You can take the bus but good luck getting anywhere within a reasonable time and with the risk of some stupid random event that slows the process down. Not to mention the cognitive taxation of being around strangers of varying quality. It's not something you think about until you're in the bus and you're standing up and the guy behind you smells and the bus is stuck in godamn traffic and you have 30 more godamn stops to go...

Uber and Lyft and the other ride-sharing apps are positively godamn humanitarian in comparison to having to use the other options.

I have strong feelings because discussions that focus on the needs and wants of bus drivers and taxi drivers ignores the heavy taxation laid onto the customer for the crime of not having a car (at least in LA). I would rather a hundred thousand more rides accomplishing the personal goals of a hundred thousand people than a thousand pensions for a thousand bus drivers.
I think the HN crowd would do better at just meeting people in person. People can get "profile reviews" for free (see /r/okcupid), but success depends on a lot of random factors no one can really control. Though I'm guessing "good/serious profiles" are more attractive to late 20s women than women my age (22), so maybe I'm wrong.

That said, I hear the demographics in SV are pretty bad for men. Here in NYC, I met my partner fairly easily through a friend (classic way).
Do you have any stats on how many publishers use the DRM? I get the feeling that the numbers are quite high for AAA games. Also, the DRM being "trivially breakable" doesn't actually help anyone -- if you buy a game then break the DRM you're implicitly signalling that DRM is good to publishers.
Yes, in writing my bash parser/interpreter (see below) I explored the non-nested arrays and assoc arrays issue.

I think it mainly has to do with the fact that bash has no references and garbage collection. When you create an array like [1, 2, [a, b]] in Python/Ruby/Perl, you are introducing the concept of references, as well introducing hte potential for reference cycles.

In contrast, an array in bash is just a value, and it took me awhile to figure out how to even copy it. None of these work:

a=('x y' z)

b=${a}
b=${a[*]}
b=${a[@]}

b="${a[*]}"
b="${a[@]}"

b=( ${a} )
b=( ${a[*]} )
b=( ${a[@]} )

b=( "${a}" )
b=( "${a[*]}" )

This works:

b=( "${a[@]}" )

In other words, it takes 11 characters to properly copy an array! This syntax is horrible.
Assortative mating: it would tend to reduce variability within families, while preserving inter-family variability.
Similar architectures could exist, but the exact one the TIS used? Not in a million years, unless somebody was explictly doing it to recreate the game IRL.

This seems rather vague and subjective...
It's my opinion that most humans have to really try thinking outside the box to understand this particular case.

Western culture, for example, has this innate fear of death. This is not a fear that other cultures share.

One could call what these monks were doing mental instability, lack of education or being suicidal. However, from another perspective, one could call what these monks were doing an incredible act of mental strength, self-control and devotion, following their beliefs wherever they lead, for what they perceived to be a selfless act.

I prefer to think that these are people who had a different way of thinking, they lived (and died) ascribing to that, without seeming to cause anyone else harm in their lives. Death was part of a bigger picture for them, not something they feared (or they taught themselves not to fear it).

While I certainly don't ascribe to the belief system these monks shared, there is something that we can learn from this alternative way, and respect in its own way.

Ultimately, I think that's what all compatible belief systems enable... a way of living peacefully and honorably allowing people to explore their own beliefs from life through death, and who knows, potentially beyond.
Doesn't a source have to provide specific evidence to be even considered a source?
> I think inertia and convenience.

I'm talking about a free software DRM implementation -- where users have been explicitly given the freedom to remove the DRM. Sure, not everyone will modify their copy of Chromium but once a single developer does and creates a fork of it, that's all you need (and that's why freedoms #2 and #3 are so important).

The reason I pointed that out is because wishing for a "free software DRM implementation" is a bit silly, because having a free software implementation contradicts the whole purpose of DRM (which is why we should reject DRM as a concept, not barter with DRM proponents about what the licensing of the DRM binary blobs should be).
Wrote their own COBOL and FORTRAN without a license as well. This took money away from IP holders, but gave birth to a lot of Microcomputers.

What IP holders? Those of other FORTRAN implementations?

So if I'm writing a C compiler I'm "taking money away" from the developers of existing compilers? Like, I'm doing something despicable, as apparently, that money belongs to them?
Love it! But yes, needs keyboard support.
This is the key passage of the article that pretty much says it.

In short, if you're faced with 30 jars of jam to choose from, you'll narrow by brand or GMO-status or whatever. Facing a choice for a mate in a list of 1,000 people, you filter by height, race, tits, or some other attribute.

Your outcome will be the same (ie. you'll have jam in your toast or a person in your life), but the criteria different.

> When Benjamin Scheibehenne, a professor of cognition and consumer behavior at the University of Geneva, set out to replicate the jam study, he found no evidence that people were less satisfied with their choices when they had a larger array to select from. “It seems to be fairly difficult to overload or confuse or frustrate people just based on the number of options,” Scheibehenne says. “In most situations, people are quite good at coping.” He points out that if abundant choice were really as paralyzing as Schwartz and others have proposed, people would constantly get stymied in everyday situations like deciding which shirt to wear or what to have for lunch.

> Instead, Scheibehenne argues that people generally avoid being overwhelmed by practicing a kind of quick-and-dirty mental judo, using some kind of shortcut to limit their choices—whether that means giving certain factors more weight or simply skipping some of the presented choices.
DRM as a concept is incompatible with free software. Having "a majority of the code path free" is not a meaningful or useful statement -- a piece of software that has proprietary components in it makes the entire piece of software proprietary, especially if removing the proprietary component removes critical features of the software.
I created an account just to thank you for that post, so funny :)
As far as I know from the debate, Trump does not adore Russia. ( I guess he does not want to blame and name and shame. )
Trump wants to stay ahead of Russia in nuclear capability.
He does not want to strike first.

When I heard in the debate what Clinton wants; She wants to let Russia improve their nukes but not the USA's. Clinton Likes to call out Russia in public and calls for responses in public.
( I think calling this out in public isn't the most tactical thing to do, its not called poking the bear for nothing )

But, I am aware of Trump saying contradicting things. So its going to be a surprise.

Why do you say so? AMD k8 came out 14 years ago and PC architecture is basically unchanged since.
Oh, of course. It even changes with time within the same culture. In the United States at least, away from major cities with a strong culture of liberal individuality, there are extreme social pressures culminating in even violence that police the conduct of both men and women when it comes to self-expression through makeup and fashion.
From what I've seen, women judge more on looks than men, but what they find attractive is far more diverse than men. OKCupid has some interesting data [1] supporting this. When you consider that most relationships form between people of a similar age, it follows that the man is compromising more on looks.

I thought the same. The claim in the first paragraph that experts "knew" torture would not cause long-lasting psychological harm is so absurd on the face of it, I lost interest in the article pretty fast.
Attractiveness overall seems a more valued trait in women, though, to a rather catastrophic degree. I think men should be allowed to use makeup, and I think the small amounts that would help others wouldn't notice, but, overall, I don't think the fact that women are supposed to constantly worry about their makeup or their hair or their fashion so disproportionately is an advantage. I got the impression that men don't wear makeup mostly because it doesn't really matter. That's a lot of time better spent doing almost literally anything else.
Sorry, speaking from my experience. And probably most guys experience. Everyone who has been to highschool can see it.

OKCupid has some research, but they don't record actual sex encounters. They have stats like "As you can see from the gray line, women rate an incredible 80% of guys as worse-looking than medium".
That's cool. Hope he remembers you!

Interesting, although I guess I should have expected a TSP solver to do well. FWIW simulated annealing can also be used to solve TSP instances. Although clearly it doesn't do too well in this case.

Anyway, I only mentioned it to point out it wasn't a simple matter of calculating the similarities between columns and 'sorting' them, you need a more sophisticated algorithm.
Drone strikes are taking place in countries like Pakistan and Yemen, where there is no official war with the U.S.. Their success rate is terrible[1]. They miss their intended target most of the time[2]. Thousands of civilians, including hundreds of children, have been killed[3].

I'm not sure what you meant by saying complaints are made from a high ground of power. Plenty of powerless people in Yemen and Pakistan have complained are are complaining. Perhaps you meant that complaints are actually listened to and addressed when made from a position of power? This is true. However, sometimes complaints can be made from a position of weakness and be listened to when made from a moral high ground and massively supported by the public. e.g. Gandhi's passive resistance movement.

My entire point is that, when other actors are able to strike targets on U.S. soil with drones, power is the only thing that the U.S. will have to stop them, and it might not be adequate. Drones are going to be very difficult to control in a few years. The U.S. has opened a Pandora's box by using them in such fashion. Heck, the U.S. government has behaved so outrageously over the last decade that U.S. citizens are likely to blame their own government when drone strikes happen on U.S. soil!

Not wanting to date some random people that approach you in public spaces is being "too picky"? Might as well say that having any preference is too picky. By that definition, I'm yet to make a friend that isn't "too picky" or does not have a "major issue".

Before the overreaching government stepped in and got in the way, parents had the freedom to get gainful employment for their idle children.

Some parents even took it upon themselves to increase their productivity by having the kids do piecework at home. For example, 6 year olds were able to roll cigars at home.
Can possibly add that these platforms fail because they're designed to be unprofitable. Their competitive advantage is that they don't need to make a profit, being supporter by venture capital. When that dries up, few seem able to re-wire their business logic, and re-model their organization to fit.

More than anything, what seems to be lacking is long-term vision for the platform as a business.
I mean, it's great if you had that kind of network of friends at 23-26 and you found the right person, but what if you didn't? I doubt people are purposefully rejecting perfectly good mates because they're arbitrarily waiting longer. Meeting new people is just not that easy for many of us.

I think Richard Bird's Thinking Functionally with Haskell will be an excellent book to learn programming without having access to a computer. It'll teach him how to think about programs as a set of simple equations, and also clearly demonstrates that Data Structure + Algorithms = Programs, a notion that easily gets forgotten to great detriment in imperative programming.

It is very much an introductory text to programming, something that can be picked by someone who has an inclination to the craft but with no prior experience. It doesn't even get into Haskell's powerful type system and sticks to primitives and lists. The intention is to teach the building blocks of programming through small, pure functions.

The text is very conversational, chapters are short and sweet, and have a lot of bite-sized exercises along with their answers which will greatly help a self-learner. It will also be easy to evaluate since functional code don't tend to get very verbose.
I've never used a TI-85 or 86. From what I remember, we were told that an 83 or 89 had some particular feature that the 86 lacked (apparently some statistics functions, or something?) People are more likely to recommend based on what they know, and with school recommendations being what they've been, more people know the 83/84. I was envious of my friend's 89, but my parents wouldn't pay the higher cost.

>So be careful about confusing simplicity with triviality and thinking that something can't be important unless it's complicated and deeply mathematical.

That's true of most things in CS, I think. Maybe life in general. I'm educated in cybernetics, and our most advanced stuff is hardly ever used. Too costly to implement, tune and test, very few areas where it's truly necessary. PID will work well enough for your application 99 times out of 100. Model Predictive Control is very cool, but it's going to cost you a lot. In places that need advanced regulation but where strict guarantees are not needed a properly trained ANN will beat a more analytical approach and require way less education to pull off.
