Are you familiar with Hansel and Gretel?

Hansel and Gretel are a young brother and sister kidnapped by a cannibalistic witch living deep in the forest in a house constructed of cake and confectionery. The two children save their lives by outwitting her.

I don't think I was older than 5 when it's been first read to me.

One might think that one is an exception rather than the norm, so here's the beginning of another one[1] (more a ballad than a fairly tale, but no one would think it's weird if an 8 years old read it).

A king is hunting in a forest and encounters a house. He asks for water and a beautiful girl opens the door. He asks to marry her, but she says she needs to ask the step mother, who's in town at the moment.

The king returns later, asks the step mother, she offers him her own daughter, but the king orders her to bring the step daughter to the castle the next day.

The next day the step mother and her daughter take the step daughter to the forest, where they kill her, take out her eyes, and cut off her limbs.

The daughter then impersonates the step daughter and marries the king.

And so on. It ends relatively "well", with the step daughter being brought to life again, and the murderers "blinded, their limbs cut off and thrown to the wolves".

Or monopoly economics and market power. There's been a huge amount of consolidation in the healthcare sector in the last few years.

This is good advice right here... timing, body language and when to push and when to give space.
Still you keep hearing people say this. Dad takes 5 pills every day, mother takes 3, kid needs 8. Complete bogus, and not only because sexual reproduction vents out genetic errors, there are a lot of other objections to such logic.

Even the introduction of birth control is likely to lead to or has already started to lead to evolution. Women allow men to procreate after much more time and stop anti-conception only when a man has proven himself (at least to a higher degree than say 100ths of years ago). This will probably lead to short term behavioral/cultural differences but it is fun to think what it may do in the long term. One can go on for a long time doing such though experiments.

People also often think evolution has some "forward" direction but if being short, ugly and smelly suddenly confers a reproductive advantage, natural selection will favor short, smelly, ugly people. It's all about niches and fitness in terms of "fitting".

Given "when adhesive leg structures in real Drosophila are covered, animals exhibit atypical [and faster] bipod-like leg coordination," I wondered why those insects still preferred tripod gait.

The answer, from the paper's abstract:

"We propose that the requirement to climb vertical terrain may drive the prevalence of the tripod gait over faster alternative gaits with minimal ground contact."

But how do this on the fly if you are telling somebody about a work project or some idea you have been tinkering about in your free time? Or when they are picking some random time in your life ("how was highschool for you?"). I have read quite a few books and a bunch of videos on YouTube but they always focus on prepared story telling.

I couldn't agree more! I looked at junior dev jobs that wanted people who contribute often to open source, had awesome side projects, etc. Sounds like they wanted midlevel but only had budget for junior.

There is no such thing as a story without fear, sex or violence.

Three little pigs: violence
Little Red Riding Hood: violence with a hint of sex
Sound of Music: sex with the fear of violence from the Nazis.

ALL good stories must have conflict. All conflict originates from sex or violence.

Here's the most basic story in the Aristotlian tradition:

Get a man in a tree
Throw rocks at him
Get him down again

One could argue about what level of explicitness is appropriate for kids -- but there's no such thing as a story without fear, violence or sex.

Look at Fox and the Hound or Bambi, Peter Pan, Cinderella, Snow White -- all varying degrees of sex and violence and the fear and anticipation of each.
Hey, I wrote that :)

The big challenge for any kind of decentralized "proof of bandwidth" scheme is verifiability. How do you know two actors are not colluding to say they are producing bandwidth? Or how do you resolve conflicts when a client thinks he transferred 1gb but the host thinks he transferred 10gb?

Our solution was to use a verifiable shuffle, where all relays and clients submit their public keys into a matrix, which the shuffle then transforms into routing paths. The result is that the client gets a "path" (e.g. A tor circuit, but it could be any routing path) that is privately addressable but publicly verifiable. So each node on the path only knows the IP address of its neighbor node, but all nodes on the path can sign bandwidth calculations with a group signature.

That said it was two years ago for my senior thesis... hardly a work of art :P I'm still pursuing the ideas in one form or another.
I doubt it made me drive faster, it allowed me to be a lot more relaxed and have better awareness of what was happening outside because I didn't need to concentrate as hard on trying to see through the windscreen. Even with good windscreen wipers in heavy rain or spray they only leave a small clear section so you are working hard just to see. With the RainX the entire windscreen was completely clear so much less strain.
At Google? Ha.
I'd go with 4 days. My last two jobs have been less than full time (originally 3.5 days a week, right now it's more like 4.5 days/week), and it's pretty great.

If anyone wants to do this the key is:

1. Have some money in the bank so you're nor desperate for a job.

2. Have in-demand skills.

3. Get some practice negotiating.

4. Ideally do this at place you already work, or with consulting client: much easier than negotiating shorter workweek with people who don't know you.

(If anyone is interested I'm writing a book on how programmers can get to a sane workweek: reasonable hours, remote work, or even a shorter workweek, though that's harder. Initial email course is at https://codewithoutrules.com/saneworkweek/ until the book is done.)
As a side note, MRIs do not have to be expensive: grad students at research universities do them (for research, not on real patients) and the costs are nothing like at the numbers you see on medical bills.
Interesting. My technique for debit cars is not to keep it attached to accounts with a lot of money. I transfer the money with internet banking, then use the debit card immediately - on an as needed basis. It's certainly not attached to my entire savings at any given point in my wallet.

Dunno how accurate it is, but i suspect your card has either a VISA or Mastercard logo on it. That means that when you are abroad the payment is done via either of those, but while in France it is handled via the national system.
Given that it is non-replicable, isn't it better called the "Stanford Prison Incident"? We can still learn things from it as a historical incident like Abu Garib, but it fails to really walk the path of experimental science.
I applied to an interesting research job for a US university a few years back, but only got to the first interview stage. I was going to try again with much more relevant experience in a couple months, but that's now completely out of the question for the next eight years at least. This is what happens when people stop taking democracy seriously.

you are using 'worked better' very generously. people choose the combustion engine because overall it was the best engine at the time, and for many many decades later.

the consumption of oil was going to skyrocket from 1911 no matter what due to technology, during a time where people primarily traveled by boat and train.
Likely because most of them come with the option of making payments via either the VISA or Mastercard network if the national system is not an option (traveling, some bars and restaurants, online purchases).
This seems to be about the most reasonable legislative idea I've seen in tech in years. It's not surprising that Apple don't like it, but I don't think anyone expected them to, and the desperation and implausibility of the arguments they're presenting against it just reinforces how reasonable the changes would be.

I did laugh slightly at the part where the Apple rep discovered they were dealing with an elected representative who actually was technical and actually would defend their position.
There's been cases of people trying to use "air cannons", sometimes mounted out of modified vehicles, to send drugs over the border: https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/local-media-release/2-teens-fac...

Whilst streams, filter and cons/car/cdr are good examples, their context of functional programming might be seen as already rather detached from the realities of physical machines; however, another good example is Unix programs. The abstractions offered by programs like grep, sed, find, cat, cp, etc. are all quite small, and whilst bug-fixes, optimisations and even new features may still be added to the implementations, they've been essentially "finished" for decades.

The point is that these applications were not created to solve some real-world problem. Instead, it is assumed that real-world problems will be solved by scripts (or one-liners in a terminal), that users will be writing their own scripts, that each problem will require a new script and such scripts will churn as the requirements/practicalities change. Hence the job of Unix tools is to make scripts simple and easy to write. By decoupling the tools from any particular problem, they can provide small, reliable abstractions; if requirements change such that an abstraction doesn't quite fit, the solution is to change the script to use something else, rather than changing the contract of the tools.

This works well when the tools are small, and the user is assumed to have some competence or willingness to learn in order to solve their problems. It doesn't work so well when the tools are large (e.g. a modern Web browser) and the users are assumed to only be capable of e.g. clicking a "Go" button.
You may never have attended university, but it's common for students to print and wear all sorts of silly T-shirts for all sorts of silly reasons. ISTR the CS-50 shirt started out because students who didn't plan on continuing on to CS-51 were jealous of that course's T-shirt.
I think it's more that some children don't bridge the metaphor to relate cartoon violence to real life or perceive the characters as "real" in any way rather than solely being a story of habituation.
No. There will always be corruption in any system. There will always be cheats in any system in which the people involved cannot get perfect information. Which is another way of saying that if people can lie, a certain percentage of people will lie. If you could arrange for everything to be transparent and for everyone to have access to all information then there would be no cheats because of the strong human instinct to punish them. But perfect information is impossible.
Get on a decent program and eat more. Physical strength is an example of a skill that is absolutely a matter of hard work, not being born lucky.

I think Brasch hit the nail on the head with that.
Likely seeing that the up front cost would be too high for anyone to save up for them.

Never mind that paying through installments or similar existed long before credit cards came about.

I guess the one thing that credit cards did was that they moved the arrangement from being between seller and buyer to be between buyer and card company. so rather than having to get a installment plan set up for every purchase, one instead get them all bundled onto the card account.
If you can't be sure that you can pay off the debt of a single month's everyday spending then yes a credit card is not for you, but I think only a tiny minority of people have such a problem.

Do you find being in a restaurant and having eaten but not yet settled the bill stressful? Or having been in a hotel room for a few days and not checked out yet? I'm not sure I'd consider a monthly credit card debt to be morally different to either of those debts. You just haven't settled the bill until the end of the stay, the meal, or the month.

We're not "haters". Why is it that if someone disagrees then they must have some ulterior motive? We just think the music sounds bad! That's it!

I wouldn't show this to anyone as an example of the power of AI because it's incredibly underwhelming. It's especially sad in these days where it seems like AI is pushing boundaries all the time.

So in other words, we're not haters, we're just being honest about how disappointed we are.
> cars or housing for example, would never be where they are without credits/loans.

If it were impossible to convince people to take out massive loans to buy cars and houses, the automotive and housing industry would probably have taken a different approach in order to sell their goods.

Rentals might have become more popular, curbing the growth of the suburbs, affording workers higher mobility, and resulting in a smaller carbon footprint for the country as a whole.

Ditto for other expensive items such as computers and smartphones. Most of us don't really own our devices anyway; we exercise limited control over the device at the mercy of the manufacturer and/or carrier. It doesn't take much imagination to go one step further and say that you're just renting it for the duration of your contract. I don't really like this scenario, but it's a possibility.
Oh yes, keeping up with technologies on your own time doesn't count for shit unless you were utilizing it on the job. Experience is what they are basing all their interviews on, an since most people embellish on what they can do during the interview and on their CV, you better be prepared to embellish as well or you will loose every time.

Timing and luck count for a lot. You won the shit job lottery that's difficult to recover from, not to mention your anxiety/autism that will hurt your chances as well.

I am only a couple weeks away from moving back in with my mother as I can't find any work and also am loosing everything, I'm a 35 year old man moving back with his mother, back to the same city I left 7 years ago to improve my life. I have even applied to a previous employer close to my mother that treated me so horribly it was the main reason I left that town in the first place.

On the positive side all I have now is this computer I'm writing on, a DSLR camera and a cell phone. So I am able to get up and go anywhere in the world possible I guess, no GF to discuss that over.

And yes alcohol sure does work, an I can't even afford that anymore.

But honestly if you keep plugging away at it, you are going to get the timing right for once (laws of probability), be in the right place at the right time and the course of life changes. This thought is one of the only things preventing me from ending everything.
It's going to take quite a wall to stop people from catapulting over it, onto an airbed-like structure.
Mundane actions need interruptions to become exciting and there have to be references to stuff you've mentioned earlier have somewhat of a story.

Lame: I was going to school as usual. After I had arrived the bell rang and our biology teacher entered the classroom. He showed us a movie about wolfs.

Better: I was going to school when all of a sudden a wolf started hunting me. It almost got me the second I entered school but fortunately I managed to close the door behind me just in time. When the bell rang our biology teacher entered the classroom and showed us a movie about wolfs! Can you believe it? I grew incredibly nervous when the narrator began talking about wolfs attacking humans. While the movie was still running I turned my head away from the screen for a second and glanced through the door's window. At first I wasn't sure what I was looking at. I only sensed movement. But then it became clear that the wolf which had followed me earlier this morning was strolling down the hall. Somehow he must have managed to sneak in....

Of course, you don't need a wolf chasing you to have material for an exciting story but the general principles still apply I think.
Make Up Forever HD Fondation Review
I did try Heroku a year or so ago, but as my full-time job is as a SysAdmin of up to 1000 Linux servers I tend to like options that give me full control.
That code executes 4 times.

That's not how you do things in Swift:

class Dwizzle {

private let countQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "hey debugger! I'm here!")
private var count = 0 //type inference to Int

func fizzle() {
countQueue.sync {
if count > 3 { return }
count += 1
}
}
}

See, no need for mutexes, or defers, or that lock_guard.

Just simple closures you already know.

Now you want to expose the count variable to other types, always in a non-negotiable thread-safe manner?

private let countQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "hey debugger! I'm here!")
private var _count = 0
public var count : Int {
get {
return countQueue.sync {
return _count
}
}
set(newValue){
if newValue >= 3 {
self.countQueue.sync {
self.count = newValue
}
}
}
}

And maintain the rest.

Now what if you want to clean up, and need to only one fizzling executing at a time in the whole process? Doesn't matter which process calls the fizzling?

class Dwizzle {

private static let countQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "hey debugger! I'm here!")
private var _count = 0
public var count : Int {
get {
return Dwizzle.countQueue.sync {
return _count
}
}
set(newValue){
if newValue >= 3 {
Dwizzle.countQueue.sync {
self.count = newValue
}
}
}
}

func fizzle() {
if count > 3 { return }
count += 1
}
}

To me, your code looks like a semaphore, let me introduce you to my over-the-knee fully-functional semaphore that can implement your Dwizzle class:

class HackerNewsSemaphore {

private let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "sem queue")
private var count = 0

func up(){
queue.sync {
count += 1
if executeWhenUp && onlyExecuteWhen(count) {
execute(count)
}
}
}

func down(){
queue.sync {
count -= 1
if count > 0 && executeWhenDown && onlyExecuteWhen(count) {
execute(count)
}
}
}

var executeWhenUp : Bool
var executeWhenDown : Bool

var onlyExecuteWhen : (Int)->Bool

var execute : (Int)->Void

init(whenTrue: @escaping (Int)->Bool, whenUp: Bool, whenDown: Bool, execute: @escaping (Int)->Void) {
self.onlyExecuteWhen = whenTrue
self.executeWhenUp = whenUp
self.executeWhenDown = whenDown
self.execute = execute
}
}

//test
let dwizzle = HackerNewsSemaphore(whenTrue: { (i) -> Bool in return i <= 3},
whenUp: true,
whenDown: true,
execute: { i in print("fizzle \(i)") })

for x in 0...10 {
dwizzle.up()
}

for x in 0...10 {
dwizzle.down()
}

//output:
fizzle 1
fizzle 2
fizzle 3
fizzle 3
fizzle 2
fizzle 1
That's when you know that the article wasn't written by someone with technical insight.
At least not its datastore. It's extremely weird, hard to use correctly and nonstandard. You have to rewrite all of your data layer if you're going to move from it (or if Google will deprecate it, I think it will be quite soon).

I have very simple app there for personal use and I had lots of pain debugging it, and it still works on black magic. It's easy to rewrite that app from scratch because it's so small, but downloading data from datastore is extremely painful process involving browsing forums for third-party hacks. If you have more than few megabytes of data, I think you can't get it out at all.

Development tooling is also weird and glitchy.
A lot of these stories were not exactly kid's stories. Most folktales were probably told and retold by people of all ages, simply because of their entertainment value.
Cool site, thanks. As part of learning julia I created a similar resource for the browsing the built-in functions. e.g.: http://www.jlhub.com/julia/manual/en/function/rand It allows browsing the functions that exist by function group and I added examples for the functions that I was playing with. Lately I added the ability for users to submit their own examples, as this is something I found very useful from the php documentation. Submissions welcome!
That is nice, but not exactly easy to do in secret near the border.

Yes on that scale, but as regulations are removed, competition on a more micro level is booming.

Although we see today somewhat institutional monopolies I wouldn't like to predict how long those will last and how long they will be stable especially since it's a complex system. We are, after all, only beginning globalisation (in the sense of collective global system coordination) and will probably (re)discover new mechanisms along the way.
> No and I did not say they were, just that it was one of the things that some people took issue with

Who were those people taking issue with the lack of eagerness on adopting systemd and were they in Raleigh?[1] Systemd is a rather radical shift from the "*nix philosophy".

I don't have patience for RH "UX contributions don't count" saltiness when they intentionally abandoned desktop Linux in favor of chasing the enterprise market (successfully!). No, I'm not bitter about RHEL[2] at all.

1. Tongue firmly in cheek

2. I do know Fedora exists, I read the very 1st announcement. It's not the same
Yeah, been looking for someone like this in tech. The closest thing you'll come is VCs pushing their own investments.
Both your points are a very US POV.

Your first point exist in various forms, but is quite often seen as questionable if not downright tacky or dirty.

As for your second point, the banks offer the same protection. If i spot weird transactions from my account i inform the bank and they will issue me a new card and revert those transactions.
