Typescript has been around for quite some time and brings some pretty nice syntactic sugar. Dont think of Typescript as a different language as such, typescript is a superset of javascript, so it if you can do it in Javascript, you can do it in Typescript. Types are optional, so you can just write vanilla javascript and that is valid typescript. It can help catch bugs early with type checking, but the main reason why I think typescript is great is the tooling. Typings allow an editor/IDE to understand your project and can provide you with much better suggestions, information and great support for refactoring etc..

But it does require you to have a build step, where ES5 javascript does not. If it is a small project then probably just stick to Javascript. For larger ones I personally would choose Typescript
I think you might be able to solve this with certain level of laziness, at a cost that you would sometimes need to generate more than just a single chunk.

I.e. once you encounter a river, you will then generate the whole river, from source, to sink (either you have a sea, or some other already existing, but undiscovered river?)

You would then need to account for 3 states of your world:
a) blank canvas
b) pre-generated but yet unexplored terain
c) already explored terain

The world in state b) would then be the one both cached and available for re-calculating :-)

If I were you I would read up on pen&paper sandbox designs, i.e. Stars Without Number [1] relies on lots of random tables to generate a sector of space with different factions/tech-levels/ecosystems, combined with rules for faction interaction. This gives it a nice "I am just a small ship in a big universe" feel :) You can generate example sector [2]

Fully agree with you.

I was a bit older at the age of 10, but on those days the Spectrum and C64 were the more advanced machines we could get hold of anyway.

So for the first two years it was mostly LOAD "", or trying to type-in listings from magazines that my father used to buy, mostly without success as they tended to have print errors we could not easily understand.

But eventually the bug stuck inside, and around the age of 12 I was already getting into Z80 Assembly.

Also it was great that back on those days, at least in Portugal we even got listenings on newspapers.

Many might remember the "A Capital" computer section on Fridays. :)
See, I normally prefer booking.com to Airbnb in Europe because airbnb is full of crappy apartments whereas booking.com tends to mostly list professional Bnb's where you get breakfast etc, less hassle with keys, someone on site. YMMV.

Maybe I'm just blind because I have a good income and can afford it, but I much prefer the experience of bnb's and hotels. Airbnb is fine if you're with a group and partying, but is a sub par way to stay in a city imo. Also, in Paris, e.g., the airbnbs tend to be booked out way in advance and often much more expensive than hotels.

After you perform the tradeoff, you can still use ASIC to reduce your costs. We regular users only have an x86_64 box. Ideally we want ASIC to be just as expensive.

And by the way I'm not sure time memory tradeoffs doesn't reduce the time area product some don't, but I bet some do (which is why they're called "attacks").

That said, my knowledge is quite sketchy here. Any recommended reading?

The central concept of Machine Learning is self-improvement of the models that are used, based on data alone.

That is NOT the central concept of Statistics.

So yes, Machine Learning may be related to, part of, semantically linked, a subset of, or whatever you want to say there, but the fact that Machine Learning is designed to self-improve is (in my opinion anyway) the reason it should be considered a "new" way of evaluating the world.

Saying it's all just Statistics sounds a lot like calling consciousness "just another information processing mechanism" (yawn). I know it's not that big of a difference, but it's similar.

Self-improvement of data analysis models matter enough to warrant the separate name and the attention that comes with it.
How to restart Google chrome with last session tabs and specific pages?
So thanks for sending me down this rabbit hole :)

Assuming Yale uses the IM calculation for financial aid, the problem isn't current income: it is savings and home equity. The financial aid formula actively penalizes savings in any form, as well as home ownership. If you have a meaningful nest egg in, say, the 1M+ range, you are guaranteed to have to pay full sticker price.

Therefore, in addition to being unemployed when my kids make it to college in 2035-36, I'll either have to blow our retirement funds before we turn 50, or persuade my kids that the Ivies just aren't worth it. Given my slacker tendencies, they'll pick up on the latter course of action via osmosis; never before have I rooted so much for nurture over nature!
If you go too far into that direction you might end up with the same problem as "Inside a star filled sky".

If you have three attack upgrades you are very powerful but only have one live. If you die one of your upgrades will be replaced with a health upgrade ruining your build. Therefore if you want a three attack upgrade build you need to make sure that you don't die. The only reliable way is to just have two range upgrades and a bounce upgrade. Most enemies can't get into your range but it's still possible to get hit by being overwhelmed from too many enemies. If you die you get a health upgrade which also happens to solve this weakness of the build. It turns out if you want to get good at the game this is the only viable build despite there being thousands of possible upgrade combinations.
There is the theory (mentioned in this paper [0], for example) that the critical event that pushed Old English on to the path of becoming modern English was not the Norman Conquest but the Danish invasions about two hundred years before.

As Germanic languages, Old English and Old Norse had a lot of similar vocabulary (e.g OE scirt, ON skirt, both meaning a unisex knee-length tunic, the former giving us the word 'shirt', the latter 'skirt'): but their grammar, especially their inflections, were different. Middle English, so the theory grows, developed from what was essentially a creole of Old English and Old Norse, which is why modern English does not have the complexities of inflection of, say, modern German.

Peter Thiel’s Influence [on us]
True, but in this regard iPads are actually quite good when compared with the alternatives.

Granted, kids will need their parents to install them the apps, but there are quite a few to play around with programming.

For example Pythonista.

And Apple now even is investing into it with the Playgrounds, of course not out of kindness, but also to get children hooked on Swift.

Then I would put Windows tablets on second, because most of them are hybrid computers, so there are some options there.

On Android parents are stuck with AIDE or apps that feel like people bundling text input fields with an eval button over the weekend. So nothing really appropriate here and 100% in sync with your remark.
If you think "needs upstream fix", then no database is suitable for use, because they all choose poor plans in many edge cases. This is why most databases have extensions that let you hint or force index use (not Postgres, however; a mistake with mitigation), or support parenthesising your joins to force an evaluation order (this is an indirect way of forcing index use or join order, a mitigation), etc.

Query planning is something where a poor choice can have serious performance ramifications, because n is usually much larger than in most programs. Analyzing the algorithmic complexity of a piece of SQL takes some experience and experimentation, and with different table stats the query planner may make different decisions. It can be worthwhile limiting the planner's discretion to get more predictable performance.

(I work on a product where many of the features can be expressed in terms of relational algebra. Often, both the best performing and quickest to write and test implementation logic is a bunch of SQL, and not the kind of CRUD that is easily wrapped with an ORM. What would make my life easier is a SQL linter that, given a model of costs, would prevent people writing queries that scale only linearly with specific table sizes. I've accumulated sufficient intuition that I could do this for MySQL at this point.)
I would be cautious about that, there are even warnings about this approach around the web. Reason - if pissed off, you might push yourself a bit too much and risk of injury is much, much greater since your mind wants to fly (or see those barbells fly sky high), but your body is exactly same as usual, with it's weak spots.

if you end up injured while trying to get some steam off, now that would piss and disappoint many.

so gym yes, but I would put a bit lower weights, or go for some cardio
Bad analysis. Nowadays, my bookings are 50/50 split between regular hotels and apartment rentals. I would have stayed in hotels 100% if there was no alternative.

> You know the cool thing about this integration ? Any part can be replaced.

How do you replace search ?
How do you get competitive against mail, youtube without the amount of data google uses to sell ad on them ?
As an end-user, booking.com gives me so much added value I don't mind paying 10% more than I could maybe, possibly negotiate with the hotel on the phone. When I hear hotels complaining about booking.com fees, I believe they're ignorant of the end-user's plight. They're also free to not be listed on booking.com, but obviously the discovery is worth it to them.

Off the top of my head, a short list of advantages I like:

- someone that will take my side in disputes

- being able to book multiple hotels on one account, in the same place

- cards in wallet in my iphone

- knowing exactly what I'll get

- avoiding misunderstandings that might arise when having to book orally (i.e. wrong number of rooms, wrong number of people, ...)

And that's beyond the superpowerful search, which is kind of immoral to use without giving them the referral fee.
Yeah, that doesn't look good. Still interesting that people have the reflex to shut things down, even though they should know better.

I was sorry to see this, although the writing has been on the cards for Panoramio for some time.

It seems a really odd decision by Google, panoramio had a strong community which may well not migrate to the alternatives that google are suggesting and it provided a load of useful information for other Google services.

Anyone know of decent similar alternatives? I know one large contributor who's moving off to Flickr, but is not very impressed by their mapping setup.

I recently came to realize that on that price range you can find hybrid laptops (tablets with detachable keyboard) and that my Eee PC 1215B was probably one of the last models to be produced for that price range.

Which puts GNU/Linux outside this price range, unless parents get PIs and similar computers.

Right, acknowledge the anger and move past it. It's like stress-related issues, your mind/body is telling you that there is a problem that needs to be resolved.

If something repeatedly causes anger or stress it might be a good idea to re-evaluate whether you need that thing in your life. Stuck in a 35-minute queue? It might be time to take your business elsewhere. Angry and motivated often go hand-in-hand.

Fix the problem, don't dwell on the emotion.

One of the supposed problems with No Man's Sky is planetary isotropy (uniformity at a global scale, variation only on a local level). They're all single biomes and once you've seen the local area, you might as well find another planet. But you're right: I don't know that people would be any more impressed with planets if they were more 'realistic' in regards to geomorphology.

Non subjective evidence? I gave you actual sources and actual real world people who use the concept in the "real world". Actual sources and actual people is not subjective evidence. These are things that directly contradict your statements.

>I'm familiar with value investing. It's not clear to me why you believe the occasional success of value investors is proof in inherent value as a universal economic truth.

Occasional success? I gave you a person who has year after year of success for around 50 years. There is no quantitative way of expressing this unparalleled success rate as "occasional success." Also what is a universal economic truth? There is no such thing. Economics is a soft science which consists of a bunch of varying theoretical models and schools of thought, none of which (like all science.) can ever be fully "proven" as a universal truth.

I presume you are actually asking whether or not intrinsic value is valid school of thought in the academic landscape? It is. See the economic definition of intrinsic value in the link I posted above. Or google it.

>I haven't claimed anything about value other than that it's subjective- that doesn't preclude, for example, a company's perceived value relying on a number of other subjective values.

Perceived value is subjective and therefore according to your definition a logical interpretation of value. There are many cases where the "Perceived value" of a company is different from the the sum of its parts or other "subjective valuations" in which the company is built upon. This leads to an inherit contradiction in the subjective theory of valuation. Meaning that a company has two different values: The subjective value of the company as a whole and the subjective value of the company as a sum of its parts. A contradiction indicates that this is a highly flawed way of thinking about valuation.

>to leave is childish and the hallmark of a troll.

You insulted me and called me a troll. Am I being the one being childish? I am simply stating facts. If you leave saying we have no subjective common ground when I only offer hard facts. The only logical conclusion is that you are trying to exit the conversation because you have no hard facts to prove your point.

Booking.com has started taking Airbnb like listings for which there was no indication on booking.com that I noticed.

I recently booked a room in stockholm that looked nice on booking.com. It was only after I booked that I was contacted by the owner and told how to meet up and get the key etc . I was pretty upset it wasn't an actual hotel but it was arguably too late to change things. It turned out to just be someone's apartment.

I have no idea if booking.com knew that. I do know I would not have booked if I had know for this particular trip.
Yes, that's how it is, and I find it completely reasonable that people will hate you for wanting to reimplement segregation or slavery.

I don't know about US law, but the German constitution defines a clear hierarchy of basic rights, starting with:

1. dignity of mankind

2. right to live and and freedom from physical harm

3. equality of every person before the law

4. freedom of religion

5. free speech

So there are a lot of things that our law considers more important than free speech. This setup is a result of the German experiences with a certain kind of demagogues. I will not argue that this is the perfect law system, but I stand by it nonetheless.
As the parent of a 1 year old, this looks great, can the content filtering be disabled, since this is a Live CD?

I wonder if there's any evidence whatsoever for content filtering actually being useful for children's development, as opposed to just reinforcing societal squeamishness.

The example they have[1] on their page is blocking the DuckDuck go result for "sex", whose first result is the Wikipedia article.

I really can't imagine why a child who's developed enough to search for that on their own isn't ready to read about it. To the extent that the parent needs to be around to explain things to the child I don't see how that needs to be done for sex in particular, as opposed to say economics.

Just one quick comment, because these discussions always go there: This is not about Hillary. Whatever the family Clinton did or not did, it doesn't matter.
This is about someone who supports Donald Trump in a significant way, and the person Donald Trump and his potential negative impact on our society.
If it is on AirBnb you at least know it'll be easy.

Meaning: no need to have a local number, usually have a reception to avoid needing to agree on an exact time beforehand, hosts are actually on time (I hate when I agree on a time and there's nobody around), hosts are actually reachable, etc.

I don't find AirBnb cheaper or anything, you still pay a pretty big service fee. It's just less hidden.
I wish that more smart people would not demonize either party and instead analyze and dissect each platform and weigh the potential benefits and consequences of them.

It is much more convincing to read actual facts about the platforms, and it's a lot more constructive.

With the brain power here, we might even be able to make constructive suggestions and possibly even influence either party's policies so that regardless of the outcome it works in everyone's favor.

If we can point out that some component of Hillary's plan or Trump's plan will surely lead to disaster in some way, that itself may have the political power to influence revision in a positive way, especially right now since both candidates are searching for weaknesses in each other's campaigns.

This is one of the most intelligent communities in the world, so let's be constructive.
