I commuted by bike for 10 years following these rules and never had an accident involving moving cars. I feel I always had good situational awareness and control of the situation even in complicated intersections. But I've been doored 3 times in that period, the last time being a very close call where a passenger in a car standing at a red light decided to get out, and so I decided to give up the bike. It feels ironic that out of all the cycling scenarios I could be in, I feel I have the least control/awareness with doors opening.

In retrospect I should have applied your 3 rules to car doors as well, and move at a leisurely walking speed when in door range.
Then why is "D" not called "P" ? What happens when we reach L?

I doubt Samsung will try to find another sales channel for them in North America. Going back to the feature-phone era, one of their most important advantages over their handset competitors has been their loyalty to the big phone companies. Doing an end-run around them to sell directly to their customers seems...unseemly.

So what happens to all of these Note 7's? Do they just get buried in a ditch somewhere? From reading Android Central and other sites, it seems like there are still a lot of Samsung faithful who are ready to risk having their heads blown off to own one.
I am totally lost when it comes to your comments on the second item. It seems you're trying to say that surrogate keys are easier to find or perhaps guess.

The indexes set out against a table can generally be accessed with a query making it very easy to work out what existing index suits your use case best.
So as far as I can tell there's no blue on the first map (SF proper). The only blue I could find was a small patch centered on the Oakland Airport.

The Baroque Cycle I never quite could make myself read fully, despite liking other books of his a lot.
When we were starting basic training with the RAF we were instructed to buy the F-91W specifically and to leave fancy watches at home. It made exercises easier to instruct when everyone's watch worked the same way, plus I suppose it reduced one of the temptations of pilfering in the barracks.

Of course there was always one joker who bought the bright-pink edition ;)

I expect that cities will heavily subsidize it, to bring it down to about the level of public transport (but far more convenient). I'll admit it's just guessing at a very nebulous future, though.
CAD is another one
There's no force involved - the gains of a slightly higher-res monitor aren't worth the $500, even just to me personally. It was worth the time and the (negative cost of) learning, though!
Plumbers can do significantly better than software engineers even today. We are paid relatively poorly for the economic value the companies we work for receive from our labor.
I think you're neglecting to remind folks that Matasano would give people a crypto textbook to study from first.

So if a VB programmer were applying for a React job, you'd say, "here's a React book; we're going to have you code a React component during your interview. Let us know when you're ready to schedule."
Hey, I'm the blog post author (Deepgram cofounder too)! Sorry if the accuracy wasn't clear enough. The numbers quoted are for search accuracy, not for speech-to-text accuracy. It's a subtle thing but makes a lot of difference (and it is the thing that matters most when you are in trying-to-find-something mode).

If you ran phone calls or tape recorder audio through a speech-to-text engine then the word accuracy rate is like 10-50% (i.e. abysmal). When you try to search for keyphrases like "frolicking kitten" the likelihood of a text match with STT is ~20%.

If you ran that same search with Deepgram then 80% of the time you'd find what you are looking for since Deepgram doesn't have to guess at what is being said, it takes the inverse approach and matches 'how it sounds' using deep learning voodoo magic™.
Putting the comma before doesn't actually make commenting out columns easier - it just moves the problem to the other end of the list. Just try commenting out the first column in your SQL and you'll see what I mean.

I don't know what the OP is running OS wise but if it's any modern Unix variant it uses ZFS. And a simple ZFS send/receive would be perfect. There are tons of scripts for that and replication.

If you're not using a modern Unix variant with ZFS... well there isn't a good reason why you would be.

Essentially, as I understand it, if multiple people submit the same exact URL in a short period of time, they count as votes on the first submission (this may well be completely wrong, but that is how I believe it works).

After a period of time, new submissions are their own post, to allow submissions that did not get visibility have a chance at being seen. This is also sometimes done manually by the mods if they see something particularly interesting that was missed (not sure about the last point though again, I believe it to be true).
> I think the problem is that a lot of the low hanging fruit has been picked.

I've heard that sentiment constantly for the last 40 years. I guarantee you that there's low hanging fruit dangling right in front of us, and there's a billion dollar company forming in a garage right now to pick it. It'll all be obvious in hindsight, and we'll kick ourselves for not seeing it.
I think the fossil way would be to do your work on a branch and then merge the branch. Merges are squashed automatically, and it's easy to retroactively designate a commit as the beginning of a new branch in case you didn't realize where you were going when you started.
Not really.

>It is a myth that is really only believed outside the Netherlands: “Because there is strict liability in the Netherlands, drivers are more cautious around cyclists, and that leads to more cycling”

>There are a number of (false) assumptions that lead to such an assertion. The first being that drivers are always at fault when they are in a collision with a cyclist, regardless of how the cyclist behaved.
I'm curious what you've identified as the root of the problem for making these sorts of parser-based games. It sounds to me that you'd rather it be a choose-your-own-adventure game, which your suggestion would make sense for, but parser-based games tend to model a virtual world of objects which your character interacts with. OO-style ontology tends to work somewhat better than state machines here (though I think rule-based dispatch has proved more successful in Inform 7, or in a Python-based text adventure engine I once made. Some complications are in expressing indirect objects for verbs and in rules which only apply to certain instances of objects in certain situations -- there is always a game which will complicate your simple world model).

Also, what is the harm in making it so that the data for the game is Clojure source rather than some other format? "Code is data" allows for data being code. It saves having to make a state machine interpreter which you have to extend with exceptions for particular games which will eventually become a poorly implemented lisp in Clojure in the JVM.
Perhaps we could add radars that block the door if there is a risk of dooring, either by a bike, or another car.

The car manufacturers have just agreed to put collision mitigation systems in all cars (by 2020 or something), and that requires radars and cameras.
Even better, some cars have radars in the back, too, to identify cross traffic & c. So, identifying potential dooring event as well, might be quite doable using those same radars.

Edit: I forgot that my car also has this 'Blind Spot Indicator', that is, some radars that look to the side and back, to figure out if the other car is in your blind spot. I guess that could be used to prevent dooring, too.
I think that's pretty unrealistic, until we get car sharing and autonomous taxis and the like to a point where there just isn't a need for street parking.
Samsung said in a statement last month that the issue of overheating was caused by a "rare" manufacturing error that resulted in the battery's "anode-to-cathode [negative and positive electrodes]" coming into contact.

Looks like the fault is in the batteries, internal shorts are both uncommon and also extremely dangerous since they will essentially dissipate all the energy in the cell as heat and can't be stopped externally.

This is partially why I'm wary of devices with batteries which aren't easily removable... and to think a few years ago Samsung was making ads poking fun at Apple users for not having removable batteries.
Fossil does have an undo command but that doesn't work on commits (checkin). It works on update and revert. Also thete is no rebase to edit the history. Once you commit it's there. You just mark the bad commit as a mistake or commit changes in the following checkin. Stuff never gets deleted from the repo but there is a scrub command. All of this encourages one to commit responsibly.
I think a lot of this comes down to what appears to be a simple misunderstanding.

Avoid - in this context means that where it does not make sense (for performance, readability, etc reasons) then don't follow the guide. Follow it where possible and be mindful of when you deviate that you're adding to tech debt.
I see this all the time in SF: the car is turning right without being in the correct lane; the driver should be in bike lane (and partially still in the rightmost traffic lane) and should be signalling right, to indicate a turn. Inevitably, the driver isn't.

As a biker, if I see a vehicle properly executing a right turn, I will of course either not pass the vehicle, or pass on the vehicle left in the space left in the traffic lane by the fact that the vehicle has moved in the bike lane, thereby not conflicting with the driver's right turn. But I have to know the driver is about to turn, and so many drivers just give no signal.
> My projects were always small enough that a traditional version control system wasn't worth the time to set up

There's no such thing as too small: I use Git for everything, including small scripts I may never use again. The setup is "mkdir fooscript && cd fooscript && git init". Plus using GitLuBucket means free backups.
I believe you meant to say, a non-exhaustive list.
It was called "Luminiferous aether". Sagnac effect shows that speed of light is not constant: http://www.conspiracyoflight.com/Sagnac/SagnacEarth.html .

My understanding is that our Universe is endless in all 4 dimensions and in scale. Every point of Universe contains infinite number of small, even infinite small, particles. These particles are forming large objects, even infinite large objects. And these objects are oscillating endlessly: condensing and evaporating, so whole Universe cannot be sink into singularity, even in endless time.

IMHO, we are in large bulb of plank-scale particles, which are called "physical vacuum", which are forming medium for all other particles and forces to travel. This medium is not regular: it denser in center (so it causes red shift), it denser around massive objects.
I don't know how fatal this will be for Samsung next time they go out and sell phones; but people have got a taste of buying from a company that doesn't have any sales or customer rep centers easily accessible where people can go and complaint. I really hope it doesn't turn out to be fatal for them but I also hope it breaks the Samsung monopoly over Android and let brands like LG, HTC shine.

>If you're earning 10MM/year and unable to make ends meet, you're terrible with money and it's your fault.

Maybe, but not necessarily. What if I spent twenty years putting myself in the position to make $10m in one year?

>If you're making 30k/year, you are just barely making enough to support a family on your income. Yes it's possible to be wealthy and low income, but it's uncommon and generally indicative of retirement or something similar.

Well, yeah, but so what? My point was you're making a lot of assumptions based on income alone.

The next logical evolution is to make your own Vocaloid using publically available speeches, and synthesize any soundbite you want.

Coming to you 2020: president candidate X may or may not have said that he hates women, kicks babies, love hitler, and plans to nuke Wales. You don't even care any more because your airwaves have been saturated with both candidates (and their Vocaloids) saying all kinds of crazy shit in disinformation and counter-disinformation and counter-counter-information campaigns and everybody's desensitized.

That is unrealistic and has very bad consequences on the neighborhood. I've heard urban planners (in lectures) say that when there is not a row of parked cars between a street and the sidewalk, people are much less likely to walk and spend time there. So, for example, businesses close along a street when parking is suddenly prohibited. And, as others pointed out, in most cities it is unrealistic due to how little parking there is available.
> how many other industries feel that the only good candidate is one whose been involved in it since they were a child? Sports are the only one that come readily to mind

Classical musicians.

Of course there will be relatively few areas where early involvement is even considered in a candidate. How many 9 year old lawyers do you know?
I use attic backup (there's a fork called borg backup). It runs daily to make incremental backups to a server at my home.

For database, I use a second VPS running as a read only slave. A script runs daily to create database backups on the VPS.
Actually, even current normal cars could easily give drivers and passengers that warning.

At least a rental Golf I was driving recently made all sorts of warning sounds about others coming to the proximity, not just driving close to something. For instance, a scooter passing closely (this was Paris) would make the dashboard whine.
One thing that bugs me about dark matter is that all the assumptions being made do not seem to have been fully investigated before "accepting" the idea as mainstream:

"The Duhem–Quine thesis, also called the Duhem–Quine problem, after Pierre Duhem and Willard Van Orman Quine, is that it is impossible to test a scientific hypothesis in isolation, because an empirical test of the hypothesis requires one or more background assumptions (also called auxiliary assumptions or auxiliary hypotheses). In recent decades the set of associated assumptions supporting a thesis sometimes is called a bundle of hypotheses."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duhem%E2%80%93Quine_thesis

For example, when predicting the rotation curves you can instead assume the mass is log-normally distributed and get the flat curves:

"The generation of the 37 galaxy velocity profiles presented in this paper assumed that most of the galactic mass is in the disk, and gravity is Newtonian. A best-fit algorithm was used to generate the curves of Figures 1 and 3 – 38 using a truncated log-normal surface density distribution function. The log-normal models closely matched the shape of observational rotation velocities, and the predicted masses for these curves fitted a baryonic Tully-Fisher relation reasonably well over a wide range of galaxy sizes, from LSB galaxies to massive high-luminosity disks."
https://arxiv.org/abs/1502.02949

It isn't that I think that must be the correct solution, but why was no one publishing the results of investigating that assumption until 2015?
The problem with the doors is that unlike all the other traffic scenarios you could be involved in they contain some surprise elements. For one it is stopped traffic (something that is normally safe) that suddenly becomes dangerous, also it can happen very suddenly. One moment a car is an immobile object, the next it throws a 3' obstacle directly into your path, and if you're close enough there simply isn't time to react. It's next to impossible to safely avoid a door if you are less than your stopping distance away from the door when it is thrown.

After all, taking into account that hitting a door is bad it is arguably less bad than trying to avoid it by swerving around it and getting clipped by a car behind you that doesn't respond in time (assuming it even has room and time enough to respond). Ironically, electric vehicles are more dangerous in this sense than combustion powered ones because they are extremely quiet.

Every time someone in my car is about to open any doors I automatically say 'careful for bikes and pedestrians'. Some people are annoyed by this but I still do it and it has already saved the situation more than once.

I'm currently recovering from a one-sided cycling accident so you can take that as proof that cycling is a dangerous activity, no matter what (right leg broken in 6 places, 2 chunks of steel and 13 screws later and I can re-learn how to walk, the accident happened Aug 7th, I'm already back on the bike and driving but it was a tough battle to get to this point this quick).
I wonder at what point this becomes self reinforcing. They need the 8 hour interviews because only the most incompetent will tolerate it or the ones with full time jobs already can't make the time for the interview.
To say nothing of the fact that comparing git to svn or cvs is disingenuous; it should be compared against its peers, the fleet of candidates in the distributed source control management (DSCM) space.
This is absolute bullshit.

You do NOT need to know how to write a sort algorithm in order to be a great developer.

Just like you don't need to know processor architecture to design a website.

Encouraging beginners to study implementations of sort algorithms is a waste of time because they've got no context for it. They should write tons of really bad code first, like we all did. Then they'll get better and maybe some of that is studying the work of masters (depending on their learning style).
I'm curious: do you have experience running an organization like this, or are you speculating?

Use a pull based one instead of a push based one.

My backup system involves my data storage system reaching out to each machine I want to backup and fetching the data locally.

All I need for that is to put my storage system's public key on the machines, and I'm fine with an attacker getting that.
I see lots of great suggestions for backup hosts and methods, but I don't see anybody addressing encrypting said backups. I'm uncomfortable with rsync.net / Backblaze / etc having access to my data. What are some good ways to encrypt these multiple-GB backups before uploading them to a third-party backup server?
No more new programming languages. Can't do it.
Nope. The wonderful thing about rent-creation schemes (in the economic sense, not just "rented housing" although it's obviously a canonical example) is that they create built-in constituencies. Make the built-in constituency powerful enough to crowd out the competition and it is extremely difficult to dislodge.

Examples: rent control, copyright law, professional certifications (eg law or medical license), government contracting standards, direct access to money supply...
You could get the same result with Hugo + Travis (+ Travis' encrypted file thing). You don't get it out of the box, but it's do-able.
Yes, but not anytime near it came out (it was probably around 2000 C.E. for me).

Earlier this year I was playing around with recompilation (reading the Emscripten whitepaper) of z-code. The Infocom games used a virtual machine to get their games onto lots of contemporary computers, and also to reasonably implement a virtual memory system to fit the games into the small memory of those computers.

Anyway, it isn't too hard to make a z-machine interpreter (at least version 5 of z-code), so I made one which recompiles the code into javascript: http://tmp.esoteri.casa/zmach/zmach.html

The way z-code works makes it so you can't tell what is code and what is data ahead of time, so it decompiles as you play. "Dump routines" gives you the the code so far (as javascript). Part of the fun is making code which can pause execution to wait for player input. (Turns out the technique is already in some paper from some scheme workshop.)

https://github.com/kmill/zmach is the project.
Fossil also has private branches.
" any solution to a problem that is not a Nash-equilibrium cannot be implemented."

This is empirically false. For example, voluntary contributions to a public good are not a Nash equilibrium, but we observe substantial contributions in experiments with real humans.

It's also weird to argue this and then argue against govt intervention. If you don't think non-Nash solutions to public goods problems such as global warming work, then what alternative is there but government intervention?
Twitter and Facebook may have value in dollar signs (OK maybe not Twitter right now), but I'd really question how much value they have provided to society as a whole. It seems like all Facebook wants to do is built an ecosystem, lock you in it, and milk you for data they can sell to advertisers.
