Maybe, but a lot of shit heads are unemployed, and a lot of men who become unemployed become shit heads too. I read in a related article posted here that most prime aged men who've given up on the labor market aren't doing more child care, aren't doing more work around the house, are watching more TV and using alcohol and drugs more. So, basically, they're shit heads, either because they're out of work or with that cause and effect flipped.

Edit, forgot to include the article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13795397
>I'm also skeptical. The "strong" claims of Whorfianism, that testable things like color perception depend on ones language, have mostly been falsified.

That's not entirely settled, but even so, those to me are the least interesting (and least expected to be true) aspects of Whorfianism. The social aspects of language influence are much more interesting.

That said, I don't see programming languages in other, err, languages discovering any novel ways of programming. That's mostly because in the end they always should just translate to the underlying CPU model and CS concepts, and those are math, they don't change culturally.
That sounds like a decent programming exercise.
Hell yeah they do. Their powers begin and end with you crossing a border. Driving to the grocery store and they just happen to set up a check right outside? They can pound sand. You drove cross country and thy have a few questions? Ask if you're being detained and for what cause. Took a domestic flight from NYC to LA. Unless that flight had a stopover in Toronto you didn't cross a border.
Looking at the github repository there is nothing fundamentally earth shuttering here. It is mostly the normal way of interpreters/compilers representing everything with number codes and then mapping to characters.

For example:
case 0: //ㄱ
case 1: //ㄲ
case 11: //ㅇ
case 13: //ㅉ
case 15: //ㅋ

If one goes back a good three decades plus and studies the source of Knuth's TeX, everything was represented by numbers and then all strings, even error messages resided in a TeX.Pool file.
Amazing how an author can turn an interesting story sour so quickly. The "white privilege" thing doesn't even make sense here no matter how hard you try to make it fit.
I'd love to hear about some great small groceries in the outer sunset. Please share!
Other than the usual stuff people already mentioned, one of my issues has been the ability to switch off. I know that the idea of doing your own thing is to give you control over how you spend your time but boy I was wrong (being a solo founder).

Sure, you can automate the hell out of things. But when that email from a client comes (which it will), you have to decide what to do.

Honestly, being solo is great only if you intend to build a business that is almost 100% automated but I am realizing there is no such thing.

Of course, I would not give this up for anything else because I love being in charge of my own stuff but that also means I have to always be switched on.
Since he can parse perl5, python, php already and output any of those or binaries or javascript, adding perl6 to MyDef sounds not too hard. Ask him.
I don't personally know any men in that age range who fit that description, but I can imagine that living in the middle of the country there are probably fewer jobs than people. I've heard people suggest that they just relocate to an area with more jobs, but it's very difficult for someone with little money (and many times, little education) to relocate to more densely populated areas.

As a whole, our society should not leave these people behind. It would be nice to see more education initiatives focused towards getting people fitting this description the training required to get them back in the workforce. Even if the country couldn't afford to subsidize this fully, maybe set up a plan that allowed them to pay 10-15% of their salary for a year or two like some coding boot camps do.
You are correct, but the screen's last two lines of text required some tricks to take advantage of (search for “reserved” in http://www.tebbo.com/archive/pw810601.htm ), so “64x44” is also a correct description from the programmer's point of view.

The particular trick that enabled the program to use the last two lines was easy to come by (I was in the countryside, hundreds of kilometers from the nearest user group, and I only had a few books as source of information). The existence of such tricks, including the pure software “hi-res” more that I read about at the time but didn't get to see until the Internet made it possible 12 years later, is one of my fond memories of that era.
I'm really not sure how having a job helps you find women; being trapped in a box segregated far away from them for most of the day just seems counter productive in that respect. You have the weekends but so does everyone else.

I really think something has changed about how people socialize and it's simply become harder to meet like minded people; It's harder to network professionally, it's harder to find fabricators, workers, mates etc. Fundamentally, that's the problem that needs to be solved.

EDIT: I've misinterpreted this.

Chiming in to say, this model was my dad's first home computer in the 80s in Scotland. As such me and my brother did not fiddle with it much; however later on we upgraded to the Spectrum ZX 16K with 48K removable daughterboard, a much more amenable model to children. I learned BASIC on that machine and played all kinds of amazing graphic and text games - I wrote about my experiences with this machine on my blog http://nchristiny.com/history/#fnref:fn-2
In this article, chemical abuse seems to be an effect of economic disadvantages.
Also, does that include black men? Gay men?

Google (for years now) have been indexing "apps" ie. they execute code found in web pages and index the generated DOM (within bounds and with additional heuristics, obviously). In fact, not deepening Google's search monopoly is another excellent reason not to go all-in on the procedural web.

Mind you, I have nothing against Google nor ads in general (but I do have an issue with tracking, even though it has legitimate uses).
The possibility of a perfect circle exists in this universe, but the last digit we are aware of is definitely a posteriori. In other words, the description of a circle is prior knowledge given it allows calculating pi, but the actual values are post observational knowledge, given they must be calculated and continue to be irrational forever. (At least as far as we know.)

It would take an infinite amount of power to calculate every digit in pi, given pi itself is irrational, even while describing how to calculate it is rational.
Your edit is right... your view on this is clearly heavy with your personal situation. But the bigger perspective is that for a relationship to work, both sides need to contribute. Whether the old-fashioned way where the man works while the wife take care of kids, or both work, or the wife works while the man take care of kids, or something completely different... the point is that both sides need to contribute. Take gender out of it, and then look again -- it is just two people, together. They both should add value to the relationship.

So lets look at a single person without a job in that context: On day one when two people meet, when both are single, if one of them doesn't have a job, it is a red flag that the person without a job might not be willing or able to contribute in the future. The relationship starts without a shared home, so just one person spending all the money. It isn't balanced.

So when you get down to it, it isn't a gender thing. It is a money thing.
The article implies that it's solely the woman's decision to marry, but the reality is more complicated. Many men are choosing not to marry since it is fraught with economic risk to do so. This has been building for a generation.

> “You don’t want to marry a man who is in all likelihood not economically viable, because it’s not a free lunch,” Autor said.

"Not economically viable" is the exact phrase used in the movie "Falling Down" by the man who was denied a loan by a bank and was arrested while the Michael Douglas character looks on sympathetically. His wife ditched him, too.
The outrage is that they are intentionally obfuscating the cost of using their service. It's not unreasonable at all to want to know how much more using their service costs than if I were to go shopping myself; that's how I can do the cost evaluation of whether it's worth it for me to spend that extra money to save me the time of a shopping trip.

Information is critical for driving free markets. Instacart is pulling some sleazy shenanigans, sending them down a path pretty similar to where Uber has ended up. I don't make it a habit of patronizing businesses that use deceptive pricing practices to try to rip me off.
Yeah right, after five years? Do you think they returned the money? What if most advertisers were one off shots to hit the jackpot on a new startup and failed within six months? Who did they give the money back? Their own pockets?

Come on, PR may say "oh no, we give that money to charity" while texting from a yacht in the middle of the caribbean.
Thousands of ICE detainees claim they were forced into slavery
I was thinking about education last night and here is the idea I am developing.. I encourage ongoing criticism

Students study varied subject matter but only one subjects' grade 'matters' and can be chosen by the student

Personally, I think our maths education suffers from a lack of freedom.. I do think it can be for anyone but only because I believe anyone can bring to it whatever they'd like, whereas education tells you what areas need to be studied and how

is competition the foil of expression?
Despite Gödel's incompleteness theorems?
this was interesting ---- "There’s now 107,000 vacant homes, representing 7.5% of all residential dwellings in the city according to France’s INSEE. Deputy Mayor Ian Brossat told Le Monde that 40,000 of those vacant homes aren’t even connected to the electrical grid."

So almost 40% don't even have the power turned on? Vacant or abandonded?

As an interesting anecdote to add, I have a close friend who purchased an industrial building in Tucson Arizona. It had been there for 40 years when he purchased it and he took ownership of it and did not turn the electric service on for 7 months while he did some landscaping and stuff outside. Turns out that was a big mistake. The code says that if the electric is off for 6 month plus a day, it has to be brought up to current year code spec. So my friend had to spend 3 years and thousands of dollars to upgrade this industrial building in order to get a permit to use it.

I wonder how many of those Paris housing units could even have their electricity turned on even if they wanted to. Would it pass code? Then do they get taxed 60% of fair market in this scenario? My friend spent well over $50,000 just on electrical upgrades, not to mention the cost of an unusable building for 3 years.

Does anyone know current Paris electric code?
You don't think having a job helps you when the person you are interested in is deciding whether they are interested back?

> The social aspects of language influence are much more interesting.

Sure, but it's pretty much impossible to make a falsifiable hypothesis in this area that can actually be (ethically) tested. Like, how do you separate the effect of having Japanese as your primary language from the effect of growing up in a Japanese culture (whether actually in Japan or not)?

> [CS concepts] are math, they don't change culturally

Agree.
I tend to agree with you in that case. Was not aware of your historical claims. Interesting to know.
what tools do you think institutional investors use that retail investors dont have access to?
The author spends a lot of time talking about precision and seems surprised that people think astrophysics is imprecise. Much of astrophysics is imprecise, and one result builds upon another to that imprcision propagates.

Of course the redeeming quality of astrophysics is that many of the uncertanties are easy to quantify, so at least we can say how well we know what we know.
I like the definition that Carl Sagan presented on Cosmos:

> It is, so far, entirely a human invention, evolved by natural selection in the cerebral cortex for one simple reason: it works. It is not perfect. It can be misused. It is only a tool. But it is by far the best tool we have, self-correcting, ongoing, applicable to everything. It has two rules. First: there are no sacred truths; all assumptions must be critically examined; arguments from authority are worthless. Second: whatever is inconsistent with the facts must be discarded or revised.

On the other hand, the traditional role of the man as the provider for the family causes some men anxiety if they can't fulfill that role, leading to family trouble. Either way, reducing equality in the work force is not the solution, but a fairer economy.

There is a question regarding the definition of "data science jobs." The author explains his methodology in a lengthy report http://r4stats.com/articles/how-to-search-for-data-science-j...

The issue is what is "data science" really? In what respect is it different from traditional statistics and data analysis and not just a new buzzphrase?

Probably many jobs using SAS could be considered "data science" but don't use the specific buzz words and phrases that the author specifies in his methodology to identify "data science" jobs. Thus, the headline that "R Passes SAS" could be inaccurate, except in the sense that R is more popular among statistics and data analysis jobs that use "data science" buzzwords and phrases.
I think this is a good point. There's a real risk that a homework you think is simple is a little more complicated because you're making assumptions. I think it's good to have a few current team members actually code it up (not just whiteboard it), and also to talk with a few candidates to see how long it took them, to calibrate this.

It's also better to aim small (a la FizzBuzz) and walk up the complexity slowly, as opposed to starting with "Solve this ticket from our prod JIRA queue, with tests please" (which I have actually been given as a test!)

I like to aim for a very simple task, like proposed above, with maybe one non-obvious part or edge case (which the spec mentions, so it's not a trick question). Just enough to demonstrate a) clean coding for the simple parts, and b) ability to solve something without using a completely naive solution.
Well, Korean the language is, like most other natural languages, horrible. Hangul is quite neat though.

Yes, that was a feature I was debating on adding, I figure launch the tool first, then see what features people want. I'll add this in soon!
$75 is roughly 11,495 LKR here, so it's not really cheap for the rest of us on the far side of the world. :/
I don't understand, why owners buy such vacant homes, which they use twice a year. Renting the same house for two days would be much cheaper.

Also, once they own such property, they could rent it for the time when they are away. They could make a lot of money this way.

In the first case, people are giving away money for nothing. In the second case, people refuse to take money. Why do they do that?
Yup, incandescent strings, reindeer, bush blankets, you name it. It looked like Xmas threw up on our house. I've tripped breakers before.

I would also note our bill at that house ran $400-500 when "normally cold", which I should have mentioned in my post and which only occurs here a few months of the year. Still, we were shocked and it was a lot of lights!
I wonder what France's squatting laws are like. If a list of those homes were to be leaked then it could prove to be interesting.

Housework is like a gas - it will expand to fill any volume of time that you are willing to allocate it. The dirty secret is that not doing some of it, or doing it on a more, eh, relaxed, timescale, doesn't make a whole lot of difference.

Results vary according to your & your partners levels of OCD, however...
Looks super handy! I usually every few months clean out a repo's branches that are outdated or no longer used by hand. It's good to see there's an alternative tool for that :)
Actually, it could be. If the phone was bought from the Google store, they serve you directly. I had my Nexus 5X replaced after a conversation with Google (not LG).
Thanks for posting this. I appreciate the transparency.
They provide much better support than LG regarding replacement of the Nexus 5X for bootlooping issues. Project Fi support has been pretty accessible.
"... or the wife works while the man take care of kids"

Then wifey starts seeing hubby as a sexless entity --- sort of like the son she never gave birth to --- and loses attraction for him.

"... it isn't a gender thing. It is a money thing"

Humans spent millennia as hunter-gatherers. Men hunted, women gathered. Men protected and provided, women nurtured the children. If women provide and protection is provided by the state, then men are useless. Birth rates fall. Religious people who live according to traditional gender roles then outbreed the atheists.
Isn't that what Instacart is doing I.e bringing it to your door the same day, which I presume is much more costly?
"Fewer men were working in manufacturing, which tended to mean their wages were lower than they had been when manufacturing had more of a presence in their area. And their wages were not significantly higher than women’s wages, which they had been during the heyday of manufacturing."

The value of pi is apparent in nature. You can experimentally deduce it by measuring the magnetic permeability or coulomb force without knowing of a circle at all.

There are many types of science: gentleman scientist science, govt. funded competitive grant science, commercial R&D science, tobacco company science...

They all have different incentives which influences how the science is conducted.
Most people are unable to contribute to human scientific development in any meaningful capacity.

The exception might be repetitive tasks that are already being automated, like drug testing.

I have no idea how all these trends are going to play out, at least during the transient regime we are currently experiencing.

> We, as a society, can decide how we want our economy to work.

To a point. Taxation tends to work as well as anything else in economic policy, but price controls and state ownership of production have almost never worked (as far as I can remember).
That's about methods and not functions ;) Yes indeed, if you are partying in the context of a specific value, you can use that reflection. My language is not "OO"-aware though. Maybe after I give the embedded mode more real world use then that aspect will be unavoidable.
I would argue it's rather dangerous to use evolution as support for theories about human behavior. This kind of argument is what brought us eugenics.

My understanding is that consoles like this are really unique animals, each one having its own sound. Dave Grohl did a documentary called "Sound City" about his efforts to maintain a legendary console from another studio:

>Life used to be rough and unfair for most us men. Maybe the oldest son had a chance to inherit the farm or shop of his father so he could provide for a wife and family. Many men, however, had no such luck and went through life without marrying, many without ever dating or being with a woman.

Citation needed. This has absolutely not been the case in most of recorded history and in most of the known world.
Interesting that they don't mention Vancouver, who also implemented a vacant-housing tax last year.

The depression results from failing to meet societal expectation. For example, he fears his wife and society at large thinks he's a bum now. Whether or not it's true, the depression is a result of the gender role.
