Yes right, my error, should have said this is attributed to Socrates, born circa 470 BC. So if he said it, it was likely somewhere around 400 BC.

The modern reef is relatively recent (thousands of years) and has been land during human history. There are aboriginal stories that recount when it rapidly flooded at the end of the last ice age, which may be more than just legends. This fate could await many of our coastal cities given the thermal expansion of the oceans (let alone if a large land-based ice sheet melts).

Sorcery or science – the world of cherry picked data and sloppy statistics
So, I generally don't wade into this argument. I've been programming for 27 years, 12 of that professionally. In that time I've used a lot of languages for a lot of projects. Every language is capable of being used to shoot yourself in the foot TBH. The hate that PHP gets is, IMHO, mostly from the fact that it's a gateway language and as such often has a higher WTF per minute rate for the code you find than many other languages. Anyway, on to what made me post this.

Some KDE apps are nice, but I tend to find the UI to have too much bling for my tastes: it's distracting. But Konqurer and Krita are both excellent (although I use firefox), and I've heard good things about Kate (although I'm an Emacs user).

As for i3, yeah. It's actually a really nice system: you can do almost anything by keyboard although you only need to know five shortcuts ($mod+d, $mod+h, $mod+v, $mod+shift+q, and $mod+shift+e respectively), and there are a few other handy ones ($mod+enter, $mod+<number>). it's a really clean, and it just feels good to use.

But it's really confusing to those who don't know it. I had a friend who tried to use my computer once... that was fun to watch.
I actually just went back to Linux after 11 years of macOS and I can't say Gnome 3 does it for me either. 10.6 was my favorite version of OS X and I think that OS has been going mostly downhill from there.

When switching I realized I've been spoiled with well thought out design and UX, but I must say I really enjoy the simplicity and polish of MATE DE[1].

I have gone that route in Haskell and it was a mess. In the end you need to extract the string again (basically everytime you do something meaningful with it). All these pattern matches kill code readability/writeability.

Also, in Haskell one needs to encapsulate the real constructor in its own module to make sure the data is only constructed through a sanitizing constructor. That's quite some overhead (and makes pattern matching impossible).

What might be useful instead is first class "tags". In Perl6, you can subset types to values that match a condition (for example, strings that match an email regex (cough)). They are still strings so can be used unchanged with other functionality that does not need the tag. It seemed quite usable to me (applications are limited, though). However the creator said it's still expensive because they haven't figured out / implemented how to transfer invariants, so they are checked at each function boundary.

In Python, you can use duck typing: subclass str, it's a dirty hack but works very nicely.

The real world solution to the whole mess seems to me to be just to design a good dataflow into the system, so it's clear where you have a valid email address. Typically it's very easy: Just assert the invariant at the boundary to the external domain (for example, HTML form parsing). Now whenever there is a variable "email" in your program you "know" that it is a valid email address.
why not, if the function is untested and plays an important role in your application?
I have wondered for a while how we can be certain that looking so deeply into the distant (meaning past) universe gives an accurate picture. Wouldn't there be many compounding effects, such as gravitational lensing combined with expansion, that could be showing us a very different picture than the true structure of the universe?

This kind of work gets me so excited. Thank you for leading the way, @BarSmith! Open source industrial design communities such as OpenBricks [1] and OpenDesk [2] have emerged to fuel the imaginations of users of Maslow CNC mills.

For instance, one could now mill a vertical gardening wall-mounted planter, with community help, by joining this project: http://www.openbricks.io/app#!/project/566af15e584123b4502f4...

It is a right of passage for a homeowner who DIYs to create a workbench. I haven't created mine yet but have investigated approaches. One novel approach is a torsion box-based workbench. The painstaking process one must undergo to create the lattices could be replaced by a fitting together CNC milled, continuous pieces. So cool.

I'm so ready to join this movement..

An intro to setups culture
Old but gold. Kennedys 'A guide to econometrics'. Not so much a textbook as a book that ties theory to practice and explains common pitfalls and intuitions. It's one upmanship in statistical practice.

You shouldn't try to learn stat on par with your teams. Learn to ask the right questions.

If you prefer learning by doing then Elements of statistical learning would give you some modern skills plus add good questions (model testing and prediction are imho more important than base skills, and central to the work of Tibshirani et.al.) to your book.

I think the coaching approach in the other response thread is worthwile as well. If you weren't really into stats before and haven't read up when it wasn't part of your day job, the route of learning the skillset seems a detour. Possible if motivated ofc, but you need advice on managing stat heavy teams. That is a different, though related ballpark.
I think consensus is that it is flat and we keep finding more and more evidence suggesting so.
But... is this a 10% drop across the board? I suspect it will impact the higher-priced market segment especially.

My logic: Higher interest rates -> Fewer people can afford the more expensive houses -> More competition for (interest in) lower-priced homes -> Lower-priced homes might actually see a price increase (bidding wars, etc.) while higher-end segment suffers from lack of interest/smaller pool of buyers.

We bought a smaller and cheaper house than we could afford based on that logic… :-)

This is a webpage with an origin outside your host, it is only supposed to have implicit access to the same origin in a sandbox imposed by the local browser. Unfortunately the nature of that policy is broken by not going bellow resolved names, most especially for non-http where the service isn't sent the hostname the client used to resolve it.

So, it is most certainly appropriate for a browser to block local networks (including localhost) from being in foreign domains AFA sanboxing. I also don't want a website attacking my (id)iot router via this broken sandbox.
I think each person values the increase in food quality differently. You could rate the difference between a store-bought packaged croissant and a freshly baked French croissant at 10-20%. I may say that the French one is 95% better, as the a store bought one is inedible for me.

Neither one of us is inherently right or wrong. It's a matter of personal opinion, and even though we try to, it is not really possible to quantify the difference as a percentage in any meaningful way.

I think the discussion here is trying to highlight that many people in the US value better food less than many people in some countries on the old continent. For a given choice, an American will not think that the difference is worth the price (or effort) while a Frenchman or an Italian (I'm trying to use example s from this thread) will not even consider eating the lesser version.

I speak from personal experience. I've spent most of my life in the US and six years ago moved to Europe. My tastes have changed, and whereas before I like American food, now my tastes have shifted and a lot of American food does not taste good to me. Now, when I go to the US, a lot of food is at best flavorless and at worst disgusting. Most glaring examples are breads, cold cuts (a.k.a sandwich meats) and tomatoes.

BTW, this is not universal across all foods. I still find American hamburgers (not fast food) to be better than their European alternatives.

AliExpress is similar to Ebay. You're not dealing with AliExpress that much, you're buying from many different sellers. As such, investigate!

If you buy something more expensive, look for feedback from others. Don't assume it'll be ok. It might be something that only works for China.

I have bought loads from AliExpress. Pretty much comparable experience to a cheap store. Meaning: quality is sometimes poor, but similar experience to going to a shop. Most of the sellers are very concerned with their star rating btw.

> Even though a $30 entre with no tip is roughly the same cost as a $25 entre where a tip is expected apparently consumer behavior changed significantly.

I bet this is due to the same effect that leads to .99 pricing. People concentrate the most on the first digit of a dollar amount. So if all your first digits go one number up, the consumer is going to feel the mental pinch and consume less.

One solution would be to restructure no-tip pricing in a way that causes the minimum number of first-digit changes (i.e go ahead and make that $12 entree $17, but make the $25 one only $27).
At least for development a custom fast backend would be great. For production code you still want all the optimizations you can get, which means LLVM.

It is even possible it was there, but the cards looks mostly like "testimonials" (which they aren't) so it feels really easy to skim it.

There are Hindu myths that speak of the world being a dream of Brahma (or of Vishnu, depending on the myth), and of the world ending when the dreamer awakes.

Buddhism (how could I have neglected to mention it?) also has the illusory nature of the world (and of the self) as a central tenet -- though what that actually means varies with the strand of Buddhism you're talking about.

The world as illusion was even a belief of some Gnostics, who lived a couple of thousand years ago.

> Why would a GC remove allocations from the hot path?

It wouldn't reduce allocation count, it would reduce allocation cost to a simple pointer bump which is virtually guaranteed to already be in cache (unlike malloc tables).

The added cost is only tracing, but if, like the OP said, allocations conform to the generational hypothesis, then frequent minor collections are quite fast.
My understanding is without the binary blob, no. That's where the magic happens.

I've recently been dabbling with the new android studio 2.x and It has improved considerably in the past 3 months.

For a single application all I need is:

- A main activity where I commit fragments to show stuff

- A settings activity foryouknowwhat

- A main application class to store all the data and state

- Some model classes for downloading/parsing/storing/data

- A service that can be used from my main activity and notification manager

I've been at it for a few months and the experience hasn't been as terrible as described. (Yes I do have async tasks that update the UI)
IIRC, the arc voltage was proportional to height only at constant velocity. I guess it was also a function of how much material is below the arc at the instant.

I was working on a controller which was supposed to get it's setpoint by measuring voltage during first few seconds of a cut, but the project turned out to be outside of my EE skills at the time (isolating analog signals, high voltage resistive dividers that didn't blow up because I had no low-voltage feedback signal from plasma source etc.)

About the need for rapid accelerations- that too was one of the things we learned by building this machine. IMO it should be stressed more in discussions about plasma cutters.

In this case the blue linear slide actuator was off-the-shelf part and modifying it would require to cover the belt and linear guides inside with something else and was thought to be too much of an effort.

Yeah, it seems like the best currently available solution would be to dedicate a lot of land to growing some plant that captures carbon as fast as possible (hemp is probably faster than trees; bamboo maybe faster than hemp; there might be some algae that is faster than bamboo?); make charcoal out of it to stabilize it, and bury it. Busy-loop on this as fast as you can.

A lot of the CCS technologies I've seen focus on carbon-neutral energy generation. But we need to be going carbon-negative even if it costs some (solar/wind) energy.
