This book has two problems:

- It's a collection of numerical algorithms and their implementations, not a systematic study of it. Meaning the style is "if you wish to do this, you use that" and so on.

- It developed a bad reputation in the 1990s for the authors disallowing use of the implementations in the book without some kind of contract or permission. I'm not sure if the authors still do that but if you use any of the implementations from the book, you would always be concerned.

A book (not the only one but one that I learned from) that solves both problems is Scientific Computing by Heath (https://amzn.com/0072399104). (Well it doesn't provide implementations in any programming language, but if you understand the algorithms you should be able to implement them yourself).

Finally, I would like to say that numerical-algorithms is the bigger of the two main areas of algorithms (the other being, what I call, combinatorial algorithms), and not only that, it's extremely relevant today for computer scientists in a world where the trend is to go from traditional programming to data science and machine learning. (I'm of the belief that CS departments and book-authors of the world have fooled their students for decades by teaching them only combinatorial algorithms (CLRS, Knuth, Skiena, that sort of stuff), and calling the class "Algorithms". This is a big reason CS students today have difficulty getting into machine learning theory, and CG theory, unless they go to grad school).
>How about other people that were not part of the protest and were trying to get home/get to the airport?

Inconveniencing those sort of people is exactly the purpose of protesting. It's supposed to make regular everyday people who aren't directly affected by Trump's actions feel their impact. If you disagree with the protesters that's one thing, but complaining about it affecting "normal people" is really missing the point.

So yes, you see witches everywhere.

The best thing that can occur is that people like you have their dreams accomplished and live in that libertarian paradise but not being part of the 1% with power. Then you look what your ideology is, bullshit.

As someone new to Erlang, I'm curious what the main benefits of this are? It's obviously pretty popular on GitHub. To my understanding, you can use F# with C# in .NET projects. Also from what I've read, it seems like the biggest benefit of Erlang is BEAM. Would anyone be willing to explain the benefits of this? Is the main benefit just to allow more functional programming in C#?
Have to say, JavaScript itself also can't "just use" all the JS stuff.
I think the difference in experiences is due to HD vs SSD. I've found Apple's latest OS's seem to do terrible with spinning disks. Thankfully all my machines are SSD, but I've seen a few Mac Minis with HDs that are really slow whereas the same machine with an SSD is fine.
I bet most people just read the first page of this guide and thought "yeah, I should upvote that, I'm gonna read it later" and don't realize that the article is full of gaping holes and TODOs which really devalues the entire work.

> On the other hand, it also leaves you wondering just how willing to step outside their own pre-existing biases these people are?

If (as is true in cases like this one) a large database of solved cases reveal that the crimes are often self-inflicted, then it's not bias, it's common sense and the dispassionate result of statistical analysis.

Consider the murder of marriage partners -- in very many cases, the perpetrator is the other marriage partner, and that's the first person investigated. Is that bias, or common sense?

> "I am righteously indignant; you are annoyed; he is making a fuss over nothing."

> Notice how the factual content remains unchanged.

I know that I am nitpicking and I am not a logician at all, but the factual content in these usages seems to me to be different when they are interpreted not just as formal propositions, but sentences made in a human context. To be "righteously indignant" has connotations that one is indignant about an important matter, whereas "making a fuss over nothing" implies that the matter is not very important. There is a significant difference in how important the matter is between these usages.

For e.g., one can differ on the matter of drawing cartoons of a religious figure. You can either be "righteously indignant" or "make a fuss over nothing" about it. These two have different factual content because they convey different claims about the severity of the matter.
The guide really isn't written yet. After the introductory material, it's mostly a list of 'todo' items. [1]

The "corrode" translator apparently just compiles C to unmaintainable, unsafe Rust. Raw pointers in C become unsafe raw pointers in Rust. That's probably not too useful. See [2]. Now you have heavy technical debt. Also, losing all the comments during translation is cruel to later maintenance programmers.

Good inter-language translation for programming languages is very hard. Usually, you lose the idioms of both the source language and the target language. There are few, if any, good systems for this.

To do this well, you need verification-like analysis of the source program. You need to know if a pointer can ever be null. You need to know how big a passed array is. You need to know if something has single ownership. If an analyzer could look at a C program and answer "yes", "no", or "don't know" to those questions, with a reasonably low percentage of "don't knows", then you could do a translation to proper Rust.

You could brute-force some of this by running the Rust compiler from the translator. Start out with everything being a single-owner reference, and compile. Anything that generates a borrow checker error gets turned into a reference counted item on the next try.

Hi! One of the developers here!

Three friends and I made this for hackcambridge hackathon in less than 24 hours and thought it was really useful for organizing events, from small friend meetings, parties or big events.

It's super simple to use:

1- Log in as an organizer

2- Create an event

3- Share the link

4- Whenever you want the playlist to update its content, go to the events tab, click on the event and press Generate playlist.

You'll find the playlist on your Spotify account (as organizer).

We don't store any user's information, so don't worry about privacy.

We would love to here your thought! Thank you very much :)

"Bannon has been working on the long-term strategic vision that will shape the Trump administration’s overall foreign policy approach," Rogin reported, citing transition officials. He "is committed to working on the buildup of the military and is also interested in connecting the Trump apparatus to leaders of populist movements around the world, especially in Europe." [1]

I find this terrifying, that an untested extremist is the one in charge of our entire foreign policy approach, and that his goal is greater militarization and igniting populism. Not going to invoke Godwin's Law, but I think the parallels are obvious.

Unless it's a typo in your reply and you meant MBP, Mac Pro isn't listed above. They explicitly call out machines that support USB-C, which the Mac Pro is not.
This is a great point that should be made more loudly: the taxi strike was, as far as i can see, the action of the drivers and the union. No taxi company, including uber, was disallowing traffic to or from JFK.

If Uber's drivers declined to participate in the strike, that's on the drivers, not Uber.

"Firstly…lets get something straight., The ‘cleverest’ programmers are not usually ‘hackers’. Firstly, its much easier to break something than build it. You build software with 100,000 lines of code and 1 line has a potential exploit? you did a good job 99,999 times, versus a hacker who finds that one exploit. "

Having done a fair bit of both over the last two decades, I'm afraid I have to disagree here...

Writing good solid code is a skill, gained with focus and experience.

Reversing, auditing, exploiting are also on their own difficult skills, gained with focus and experience.

Saying one is "much easier" than the other is to entirely misunderstand either building or hacking or both.
Not yet. I'm polishing for the release (probably end of February).
The story with "fake news" is pretty straightforward, if you want to take a second to understand it.

It began with an actual, technical phenomenon: a brand of webspam designed to solicit clicks by running lurid, Weekly World News grade political stories on auto-generated news sites filled with (if you checked their backcatalog) crazy stories like the Pope consorting with demons. There were dozens of these sites, built with scripts, and they were literally what the label we stuck on their tin said: "fake news".

Then, deploying the rhetorical jujitsu Frank Luntz was so successful at popularizing on the right, Trump co-opted the term. "Fake news" wasn't webspam sites filled with literal manufactured news having no connection to reality or for that matter physics, but instead any news a partisan disagreed with.

So effective were Trump supporters that the term "fake news" has lost all meaning, and sucks all the oxygen out of conversations in which it's used.

This article captures none of that story, because it's a partisan political piece written by a (literal) partisan Trump supporter unaware of the irony of the deceptive point they're trying to make.
Yes, for all systems in scope. If you are putting code and/or files there, they will ask.

What is the cutoff point? When does something become political? This post might be easy to classify, but what if it were something else, like "Trump imposes 20% tariff on all online services." Would we be allowed to discuss that?

I hate it when people try to classify things as "political" and then don't want to discuss them. It is such a slippery slope.
TBD as described here also allows for feature branches (but they must be short lived and owned/worked on by a single developer -- which seems reasonable to me).

I think people are seeing TBD as "no-branches ever" and that is not it's goal or design.
Are you for real? That is not what minimum wage is - you don't just set the level once and then forget about it forever. The UK has managed to have minimum wage for decades, increasing more-or-less in line with inflation every year.

Edit: ... furthermore at least this way you get some kind of increase. As inflation makes its steady march do you think the fast-food industry (or the service industry overall) have kept up?

+1. I don't think any popular "economic narrative" has ever truly matched an event -- these events are rarely so simple. The original Great Depression narrative (which is unfortunately taught to kids in school) is that it was brought on by the instability of unadulterated, speculative capitalism, and saved by the New Deal. What a travesty! Hoover and FDR managed to protract a recession that was at least partially caused by tight, at the time experimental monetary policy by the Federal Reserve, into a decade-long economic catastrophe, unparalleled in modern history (with help from a drought). But even the Monetarist argument and Austrian-economic (inflationary policy to keep commodities constant) explanation are overly simple. In reality, economies are chaotic systems that were likely affected by elements of all three narratives (perhaps the least so with the first, most prevalent narrative).

The same thing is happening with the "Great Recession," and what is about to be "The Greater Recession 2." There are a significant number of people, like Bernie Sanders, who believe all the banks acted in concert and became 'more greedy' than usual somehow, giving out cheap loans for speculative profit. In reality, there were two primary factors that created the boom and bust: Fannie Mae's loan buyback program and low Federal reserve interest rates. Great write-up here: https://admin.fee.org/files/doclib/houseunclesambuiltbooklet...

We don't have the loan buyback program anymore, but we've had unprecedentedly low interest rates for the last eight years, so I'm not optimistic about this next crash. Definition of "kicking the can down the road" economic policy.

Things were moving so fast at the time, I guess I had my doubts that Uber was even aware of the strike, but I suppose that may be naive and that the taxi association probably contacted Uber about this.

I'm definitely coming around to the idea that Uber is simply playing both sides of this, and that it gives them too much credit to assume good intentions of them removing surge pricing.

This article seems to be missing something important: the postal service is still subsidized by the federal government, even if there isn't a direct transfer of taxpayer money.

The mail I receive through USPS is ~90% unwanted (maybe more, if you go by weight), despite my ongoing efforts to "go paperless" and opt out of marketing mail. If I could stop this constant flow of junk, I would gladly pay UPS/FedEx twice as much money to deliver the small amount of mail that I actually care about.
Why is this being voted down? It is a simply a restatement of the basic economic concept that when the price of a service goes up the demand will go down. In this case the service is labor.

In general I think labor costs in Europe are higher than the US and the observation in another comment that these sorts of ordering systems are common in Europe doesn't surprise me.

The cost of labor isn't just the hourly wage, but all the associated regulations and liability that surround having a human employee. Changes in minimum wage are just the most visible cost component.
Many businesses in the USA have recently upgraded or will be soon... It would be a shame of they installed new terminals that were flawed from the start.

I don't see why Uber needs to be beholden to a taxi strike, since they're not taxis, that holds no meaningful purpose except hurting a large number of people trying to get to and from the airport. Since when do taxis get to unilaterally dictate what the moral way to protest is?

Will taxi companies join Uber and help financially support the taxi drivers who are stuck out of the country because of Trump's ban? Are they immoral if they don't follow Uber's lead?

France and Spain have had them for a while, and they're only mildly complicated. Used them twice, no complaints.

Spain has been really eye opening in terms of what's possible in big cities with cost of living. Everything here costs 1 to 3 euros, unless you're eating fancy, in which case 6-12 euros. It's nutty compared to the US. So I'm hesitant to believe we need to raise pay for unskilled, manual labor (no labor?) jobs when we pay so much for basic things (that don't come out of a trade deal or conglomerate pressuring global production to lower its cost with harmful side effects)

That said, they were just protesting in Barcelona against, of all things, tourism. Tourism! You know, the free money a city gets from charging people to stare at a building? Apparently hotel rooms raised property taxes. I'm somewhat of a dunce at tax laws, but I thought the ridiculously high tax rates for hospitality services were meant to help offset this? Either way it sucks that Joe Schmoe can't see the Sagrada Familia, and it sucks that their neighbors can't afford rent. But I think Barcelona is lame, so, meh.

Why don't they just make an app? Seems simpler.
