I don't have that handy, but I'd start with the book "The Paradox of Choice" and the author's academic work. The phenomenon also goes by the name "maximizer vs satisficer", and you might check the psychological literature for that.
GS seams to run fairly tight shop I doubt they take very large unhedged positions.
the current process here mean "oneway" or "su" not the parent of it.

so if you type "su -l -c sleep app" and type "ps ax" you would see a the "su" process and a child process.

if you do that with "oneway", there wont be a process called oneway.

the usage of this is you can have "exec oneway" in your start.sh and you would end up with no privileged processes at all.

on the other hand this won't happen even if you "exec su -c bash exec " no matter how many exec you type. there will always be a su/sudo process
I've also had good luck with "scannable" in the past (acquired by evernote, but still works without evernote). One nice thing about their UI is that as soon as it gets a good lock, it acquires and processes the image, and then moves on to the next one, making it really easy to quickly scan a stack of papers into a single PDF.
Not the parent, but I had the same problem. I understood that kind of algebra but could never figure out how to simplify things well, which hamstrung me in Calculus. Also, they never bothered to explain the purpose of any of the equations in calculus.
I second that. Stats is so much more applicable, and it is also the area where common sense will fail you the most. Simple things like birthday paradoxes, Gambler's fallacy, Monty Hall problem, and so on are all contrary to common sense yet not taught in schools.

And you need stats all the time. Every time someone says crime has never been worse, you need to know how to decide if you believe it. When someone says flying is safer than driving, you need to know how to compare. A lot of stats thinking is also not formulas, but qualitative things like "Am I comparing apples to oranges".

Calculus by contrast is pretty common sensical. Acceleration is the derivative of velocity, you find the local extremes by finding the zeros of the derivative, the integral of a net shaped field is the rim... that all makes sense with some pictures.

I also haven't come across it much in finance, apart from derivatives work, where funnily enough you can't do with high school calculus, but you need stochastic calculus. Which contains some quite statistics related concepts.
Market making is inherently prop trading - the firm's capital is at risk - unless trades are paired or hedged immediately. For thinly traded stuff that may take a while to unload, it is just prop trading.

I personally think Banks should be incredibly boring utilities. But that ship sailed a long time ago.

Lots of great stuff was thrown out the window in January. My winning bet for the year was to start buying EWC (ishares Canada) during the market lows.

IIRC it was Pemulis who was explaining it.
There's no actual syntactic load in practice. You look at the documentation page (or, more often these days, at autocompletion list), and see all members. Whether they are properties or methods is readily indicated, and in case of autocompletion, it'll also insert the parentheses for you for methods.

Semantically, the difference between properties and methods is the same as the difference between data and behavior. Are you saying that it's not a useful distinction to have?

I'm voting with my wallet by not buying the headphone-jack-less iPhone 7, but I don't think enough people will care about the lack of MagSafe. It doesn't prevent you from doing anything, and with everything going SSD (i.e. no data loss if dropped) it's probably easier for Apple to just offer an AppleCare replacement policy if the products do get damaged by being yanked to the floor.
I doubt it. Very few people have a legitimate need for 32 GB of RAM in any device, let alone a laptop.

Apple doesn't really build their hardware so that it's "developer-oriented", so it's unlikely you'll see 32 GB of RAM anytime soon. Perhaps 8, 12 or 16 GB.

> or instructed their kids to act as if there were an adult in the house

So I gather that somehow these two kids were, when alone, acting in such a way that allowed the person who called the police to believe they were alone? It feels like there's some more context here. What were the kids up to? (:
As a former instructor at a code school I always told students that learning to code would put them on a successful trajectory more than make them instantly valuable. It's not an on/off situation. A good engineer is always learning and improving.

Code schools too often make it look like you attend and then succeed, there's a lot more than goes on in between.
I don't know what treatment the photographer applied to his pictures. They look fake to me: the lighting is weird, the colours are weird. (I don't mean that they are are fake, not at all, I just mean that they look so).
The same. Exactly the same.

Unless it's obvious that it's Amazon and only Amazon that's selling something, I just won't buy it. Buying at Amazon was supposed to be, and used to be, easy and worry free.

Free returns? I want it to work and be in excellent condition when I take it out of the box, and then forget about it. I don't need more work for no pay.

I will often peruse Amazon to discover if something exists, and what its variants are. If I can get in my car and get it this afternoon, then I do that.
DFW's writing comes up from time to time, and I always react by venting the frustration I feel with his work, which I promptly destroy because it seems wrong to criticize a (relatively recently) dead man.

But I'll say it: his writing style is incredibly self-indulgent and dreadfully dull. I guess it's a matter of taste, but it takes a unique talent to attend a pornography award show and afterparty, and churn out something as soulless, humorless, and completely devoid of a point-of-view as "Big Red Son."

I'll probably delete this soon -- I feel like an awful person for writing it, although I'm not entirely sure why.
That is effectively offering insurance against chargebacks due to fraud, and such products already exist.

But I'm not wild about the moral hazards of insurance. Merchants should always exert some customer-selection hygiene.

If an OLED panel replaces the function keys, that ruins it for me. I mostly run Windows on my late-2013 15" MBPR, and I use the function keys all the time. Especially for debugging. F5, F9, F10, F11 are burned into my brain.

I used to be a huge ThinkPad fan, but their wilderness years of bad displays and constant keyboard rearrangement turned me off, so I thought I'd try using my MBPR for Windows work instead. Turns out to be a very nice Windows machine, with the bonus of being able to boot into macOS too. (I can also run Windows under Parallels in macOS and that works pretty well, but running Windows native in a Boot Camp partition is more responsive.)

The only serious function key issue is the lack of the little gaps between F4-F5 and F8-F9. If you don't use the function keys much, you'd be surprised how important those gaps are for a touch typist. Lenovo even ditched the gaps for a while (and they had their own misguided experiment with a touch panel in the second gen X1 Carbon), but now the gaps are back - and they finally have good displays again.

ThinkPads also have the Home/End/PgUp/PgDn keys instead of the crazy contorted Fn+arrow combinations you have to use on a Mac keyboard.

I've gotten pretty used to these Mac keyboard issues by now, but losing the function keys? That's a bit much. Looks like my next Windows machine will be another ThinkPad.
>or wait a thousand years and send humans to Mars in a different kind of space ship.

Pardon the pun, but why on Earth should we wait 1000 years (or whatever it actually takes) for something when we don't have to?

Our fragile human flesh in a contained atmosphere works well enough and we're roughly capable of doing it now, give or take a couple decades.

Then we have 900+ years to improve the containers we use to maintain our preferred atmosphere while waiting for whatever form this futuristic species you describe takes.

Once again: the word "patronize" means literally the same thing as "mansplain". It doesn't just have the same connotation. "Mansplain" is essentially the Newspeak version of "patronize".

But nobody is infuriated by "patronize", either its meaning or its clear connotation, because "patronize" is mainstream standard written English, and thus presents no good opportunities to use otherization to deflect criticism.

I don't know why you think I've been "triggered", but I assure you that I spent the next 4 minutes after writing that comment drawing a Trogdor-shaped United States to illustrate on Twitter one of Hillary Clinton's proposed campaign slogans, and I remember my emotional state during that effort far better than I do picking apart the dumb comment I replied to. But: I do appreciate the concern.
Well, to be fair, you see similar behaviours in other communities that involve people supporting each other as they buck societal expectations. The one that springs to mind, to me, is the childfree subreddit, which is pretty ranty and circle-jerky, too.

Greg Lutz of GM once commented that GM's designers had fallen in love with Bang and Olufsen design from the 1980s.[1] Bang and Olufsen was (and still is) big on black-on-black design, with controls so subtle that they're barely visible. This makes for great photos, but not usable cars. He, as head of GM, had to restrain them from making inscrutable dashboards. This mindset seems to have reached the Web.

For an alternative design paradigm, see Olivetti industrial design of the 1960s and 1970s.[2] Bright colors, strong contrast, and materials nice to touch. Any good museum of modern art will have some Olivetti devices of that period. Those are worth a look. They had contrast without clutter.

We've been relying on technology for our salvation since the advent of agriculture, every day trying to fight back our inevitable doom at the hands of one out of a million causes. We may have remodeled our ecosystem(s), but it is still an ecosystem. The term Carrying Capacity wholly applies.
Out of curiosity, what's the value that'll wrap around at?
That'll be about as long as Java, sure. But most properties that are actually written in code don't need validation. In fact, most of them don't even have a setter. In C#, this means that I can do:

public Foo Foo { get; }

or for a computed property:

public int Foo => Bar + 1;

The real savings from property come when you use them, though - the extra pair of () doesn't feel like much, but when you start chaining properties, I find that not having () there significantly improves readability. Then, of course, Java also insists on `get` prefix by convention. So you have Java:

foo.getBar().getBaz().blah()

vs C#:

foo.Bar.Baz.Blah()

More importantly, the latter visually emphasizes the difference between accessing data and operating on it. You can see that "Bar" and "Baz" are data members, conceptually similar to "foo", whereas "blah()" is an operation.
Given a first and last name, it's possible that judgmental parents who were worried about a 9 year old being at the park could file some kind of official complaint against us.

Given only a first name, their only course would be to call the police if they wanted to take any kind of official action. That's decision is about giving them pause to consider: is this child playing in the park without parents nearby actually an emergency? When I call the police, and they come, will I be able to defend my decision?

I would argue that this election season is an exception: both candidates are polarizing, leaving very little room for undecided voters.

As a result, the marginal efficiency of political donations is drastically decreased.

In a regular campaign season, political donations that contribute to advertisement and outreach are more important, as there is a larger undecided population to target / convince; hence, the limit of individual donations seems applicable then, but not now.

In my opinion, regardless of who wins, a limit on how much a candidate can spend on their campaign should be enforced. Hopefully, this would remove any subjectivity associated with political rhetoric, with people focusing more on a candidates objective politics (such as policy).
No, in fact I think they cut to the heart of the objection here

Not at all. I told you what my reasoning was, and you decided that I was lying. That doesn't seem to be arguing in good faith.

It may be true that there's a differential in the impact of the rules. But (a) that doesn't mean that rules were secretly crafted for that reason, or (b) that I wouldn't feel the same way about rules having a differential that affected the more affluent to a greater degree.

Assuming evil intent on the part of your opponent is a sure-fire way to ensure that you can never reach any common ground.

The 30-pin cables have a fixed orientation for the connector, but the Lightning cables can be inserted either way.

This leads to a lot of bending near the connector end because you can plug them in any which way. And then you get splits of the cable near the connector.

My 30-pin cables never went bad. My most used Lightning cable (of five) has.
Oh damn, my bad. I completely forgot that sudo can update wtmp and generally other things when closing PAM session, and thus it does spawn child processes. I totally deserve any flak here.
I think the answer is primarily non-technical. I believe we have to find healthy ways for people to express themselves and especially to communicate what makes them feel "not well-adjusted". Censorship doesn't solve these issues for any age group. Like prohibition, it simply shifts the problems around or sweeps them under the rug, thereby distorting the actual issue (which never goes away): humans have a vast array of choices.. how do we make the right ones? When it comes to porn, I think this is a question of social pressure like anything else: sex exists and it's not necessarily the way it's protrayed in porn. As soon as you're old enough to find your way to this sort of content, someone needs to have that conversation with you.

We need more empathy, more listening, more communication - not less.
Yes. That's why we have collections in most languages now.
I think brain-upload is probably the only way to do interstellar travel, even if you synthesize a new body on the other side. For someone alive today, if you want to do interstellar or non-colonization space travel, going after immorality is the best option IMO.

I don't think that earth-preservation is a worthwhile quest on a personal level. There are dozens of people who could destroy the whole planet since the invention of nukes. And with climate change for example, any kind of proportionate action would require an agreement between giant (100M to 1B+ people) political organizations to voluntarily makes themselves less wealthy -- although making tech that is greener and cheaper/better is probably the most significantly helpful option.

I can't really follow your thinking above; sorry.

In audio, there is distortion, which is correlated with the signal. Noise is uncorrelated. Codec error would seem very much to me to be at least much more correlated than uncorrelated. MP3 artifacts sound at least more "phase-ey" than they sound anything like quantitization noise ( at least to me ). This may be because I have heard badly aligned tape machines make that sort of error happen. "Phase-ey" also triggers my (feeble) mind into thinking about allpass filters as the model for the error.

In terms of intelligibility, it's possible to improve intelligibility by adding noise, and by adding clipping - aviation comms does this at times. What destroys intelligibility is phenomes being destroyed by phase changes and bad amplitide errors ( where there are actually good amplitude errors ).

I've run an ABACUS voice quality analyzer several times, and I don't think it's purely a distortion analyzer - adding clipping at least can improve MOS/PESQ score surprisingly. Even more surprisingly, there's no mechanism
available for calibrating gain staging on one.
Trig is a pretty useful subject for the skilled trades. Framing a house, as mmmpop notes, but also things like plumbing and cement work. If you don't go on to college, or you don't major in engineering or math, calculus is pretty useless. I've never once used calculus outside work, but I have used trig.
Yes, it is. Please set aside your need to be right and think about it:

Women talk for long streams. If men were to refer to it as "womensplaining," it would be condescending.

Men talk for long streams. When the small, vocal subset of women refer to it as "mansplaining," it is condescending.

The error in logic is to say that it's a gendered pattern of condescension. Because both genders do it, it only becomes gendered when you forget that women do it, too.

From the data description:

For our data set, we pruned the full list. First, based on names, we removed establishments that seemed more like restaurants than public houses. So TGI Friday's was out and the The Plough and Horses was in. Second, we took only the first location of pubs that had a number of branches in the same town. Third, we removed any pub that was marked as permanently closed by the members of Pubs Galore. Finally, we removed several pubs that could not be reached by foot, such as those located in airport terminals.

A list allows you to forget things even if they're important, because you learn to trust the list to bring it back to you when you're ready for it.

Same experience here. I went to international school, so I often ended up with American friends who'd talk about Algebra 1/2/3, pre-calc, trig, geometry, etc.

Makes no sense to me. All those things are related. There's a picture that shows you why Pythagoras' Theorem is true. And why the difference of two squares is never prime.

You'll have had a whole summer holiday between trig and algebra if they're separate things. Surely they are taught as a kind of whole?
