This is an awesome idea. The only thing I log in to my account is to literally run this in my head a couple of times a month. I usually have a couple of active credit cards with different due dates on them so this is at least annoying to keep track of.

safe_margin = rent + food + 500
emergency_fund_bal = monthly_salary * 3

// pay all credit cards if I can
sort(my_credit_cards, apr)
for (cc in my_credit_cards) {
if (cc.statement_bal == 0 || cc.paid) skip
if (checking.bal - cc.statement_bal - safe_margin >= 0) {
pay(to=cc, from=checking, amount=cc.statement_bal);
cc.paid = 1
} else if (checking.balance > cc.min_pay) {
pay(to=cc, from=checking, amount=cc.min_pay)
}
}

// refill the emergency funds if needed and can
if (savings.bal < emergency_fund_bal && checking.bal > safe_margin) {
transfer(from=checking, to=checking,
amount=min(
emergency_fund_bal - savings.bal,
checking.bal - safe_margin)
)
}

// invest the rest
if (checking.bal > safe_margin) {
invest(checking.bal - safe_margin)
}

It is the intense educational requirements of the Chinese character system that led to the development of Hangul-am, the Korean character system. You still end up with a similar block structure, but it is phonetic and has about the same number of components as there are letters in the English alphabet.
The campaign providing them with a study has no effect on how true the statement is, which, as a fact checking organization, was their job to discover. This is surely evidence of, if not bias, gross incompetence.
Rapid change is bad. It is bad for all who live through it. Whenever conditions change faster than organisms can adapt it is generally bad for all, even those that can. We can adapt, nobody really doubts we can move things around and continue. But most all the other species cannot. Does anyone really want a world with seas filled only with jellyfish, with forests home only to raccoons and pigeons living off our scraps? Humans will survive, but they won't be happy. Our adaptation may require our civilization taking a few steps backwards. I'd like to avoid that world.

The current buzz is "basic income."

While I'm not opposed to the idea that if you're born -- and if so much of the world values human life including and especially in the womb -- then you should have the opportunity to at least "get by" and not be per force exploited, much less sickened and killed.

While I'm not opposed to it, there is a pre-cursor of ostensibly more limited scope, and perhaps of greater benefit than just "throwing undifferentiated dollars" at a problem.

Access to healthcare. Not necessarily absolutely unlimited, spend 100K for an extra last week of life healthcare. But quality basic, effective healthcare.

If we value human life, then we should also value the quality of that life. Providing effective health care greatly enhances that quality. It greatly enhances the ability of people to take care of themselves, and their families. And their friends.

You may not live in a palace, nor anything close. But we'll do our best to help you have the physical wherewithal to enjoy the day. And to keep you that way. If you become injured or ill, you will not be alone -- and we will not let others prey upon you in your weakness.

If we -- here in the U.S., in my case -- can't do this. With all our resources and largess. Well, then, you can just go and stuff the rest of your moralizing and idealizing.

So in this way, perhaps it's like a morse code to them. They can "talk" by shifting colors and detecting changes in the visual wavelengths... similar to how we vibrate our vocal cords at different frequencies to form words, and detect the changes in pitch with our ear drum.

Now that I've written it out, it seems silly to put "talk" in quotes. They are definitely talking. We just don't know the language. This makes me want to watch Arrival again :)
>- DMD is by far the D compiler with the shortest compile time. It's actually so fast that it comes with a utility, 'rdmd', which compiles-then-execute a D program. Say goodbye to shell/perl/python scripts, now you can have compile-time checks without an explicit/slow compilation step. We use it for automation tasks.

The search grid that I have built using Aurelia does that.

It's been a while so I don't have the exact code in my head. I simply modified the progress bar of the tutorial so that I can pass a parameters that make it so nothing can be clicked if it is set to "true" and also binds the "disabled" parameter of the buttons in the dialog.

That's why there should be a max. So, for example, you get one vote per year up to a maximum of five votes. Anyone holding a share for longer than that (6, 10, 100 years) gets the same 5 votes per share.

I'd be interested to ask, since this project identifies as distinguishing itself in terms of performance, would you have any benchmarks on how it fits in with some of its peers?

I saw it also supports both row-oriented and columnar modes. Does that mean this is meant both as a transactional and as an analytics-oriented database?

Completely agree that giving previous comp information or comp expectations can only hurt you as an employee. The only thing giving this information will do is provide a company the information they need to pay you less than they might have otherwise.

I think it is difficult for employees to judge what they're truly worth. Therefore, when most people give a number, that number will be lower than what an employer may be willing to pay (and perhaps lower than the company's initial offer would be). I would guess this holds doubly true for graduates of a bootcamp, or recent college graduates, who have less industry experience on which to base their judgment of business value.
> ISP's have argued that transmitting data doesn't count as making intermediate copies, and the courts have largely bought that argument.

Why do people, yourself included, insist on taking simple sides on complex issues?

There is no one size fits all to negotiations, there are simply too many. I would be hesitant to even apply some kind of 80/20 rule here. There are many kinds of negotiations and not all follow the same pattern, even if all of them in one person's experience have.

I have succeeded when demanding they present a number and when presenting a number. I think there are other important things in negotiations like how numbers are presented and what else is being exchanged, but I do not have good sources for this last bit outside my own experience.

Then you avoid the question by saying stuff like "oh, my salary range is this" or "I've received offers for this amount".

Or just make up a number. Companies bluff all the time in negotiations. You should do it to.
People on embedded systems use a custom runtime, and people who want to avoid the GC use the compiler to disallow GC usage in their entire program by using the @nogc annotation.

There are other less extreme solutions, such as the ability to have some threads be registered with the GC and others not. Also, you can just find your bottle-necks and mark those specific functions as @nogc. Some people also turn off automatic collections and manually trigger them only when it's ok to pause.
Right, I understand that it effectively eliminates GC usage, I'm just wondering how much of an impact that has on what tools you have. In the extreme, I can imagine it degenerating into basically writing C, for example.
The problem probably isn't the situation 364.8 days per year, but what happens that one time every few years when weather (typhoons) and maybe even the tides align to create conditions much worse than average for just a few hours. See New Orleans... the worst part is that because it's so rare most people (and media) will rant against the "waste of taxpayer money". You have to build very expensive infrastructure that's almost never needed, that goes against human nature it seems to me.
The GC is only relevant if you allocate using the GC, because that is the only time the GC can run. If you use @nogc on your functions, you are guaranteed not to have GC allocations. You can use D as a better C with no GC but other good features. You can even avoid the D runtime compeletely if you want.
2 year old doing this ,can`t beleive
The idea is that the first person to give a number loses, since that anchors the conversation. As an employee, it's an counter to the asymmetry of information. Employers know their own salary structure, and even have access to anonymized salary survey information. Employees don't have this information.

Conversely, encouraging employees to not talk about your salary to other employees is another tactic to keep the information asymmetry. If you're underpaid, you'll never know it, and that's how they like it.

It's not really hero worship, although it can morph into that or just look like that. Really, it's just that so many people aligned with the "SV culture" you mention want to be them. When someone has achieved all that you're shooting for, you have a vast personal investment in lionizing them while in your "I'll be that guy someday!"-phase.

Then of course you just have the reality that plenty of the love coming their way is just... well... ass-kissing for favors, status, money, or in some vague hope of some of those.

Until or unless enough talented people figure out that they'd have better odds playing the lottery than aiming to become an SV oligarch/plutocrat, there will continue to be a culture of this intensely covetous "worship", that almost inevitably morphs into loathing and resentment.

That's just the "in" people... the public at large is either subjected to intense marketing and PR, or unaware of such people.

Looks like cephalopods have useful, active, and conserved ADAR activity that changes an Adenosine to an Inosine in many RNA transcripts.

ADAR (Adenosine Deaminase acting on RNA) is a protein that recognizes specific RNA sequences (likely, specific structures) [1]. And upon recognition it switches an RNA's 'A' to an 'I' (a non-canonical base pair (RNA is usually made of A, C, U, & G only)). The ribosome compiles a non-canonical 'I' as if it were a 'G'. So this process effectively intercepts some DNA sequences prior to compilation and swaps some (very particular) A's to G's with respect to coding a protein. This process was found by noticing this very consistent 'mistake' between DNA and and expected sequences in high-throughput analysis.

So during the minification of the genetic code prior to compiling, under certain conditions some very specific characters are swapped for out-of-bounds characters that are read-through as an alternative character (if the surrounding code suggests it should). So you can have alternate builds without changing either the source code or the compiler, but instead by turning on/off a bit in the the minifier (expression of ADAR protein).

This process happens a bit in humans and flies, but seems to happen a lot in squid - specifically in the code around compiling neuronal proteins.

Curiously they show that this editing process slows down the evolution around those neural proteins that utilize this mechanism. Because the ADAR protein recognizes the structure of an entire sequence set in order to perform its A->I swap, if there is any mutation in the entire sequence set, no A->I swap occurs. And if no A->I swap occurs, the neural protein likely doesn't work as well, lowering the fitness in any individual that has sequence drift anywhere in that entire recognized region. In organisms that do not have this A-I shift mechanism there is more evolutionary sequence drift in similar proteins than in Cephalopods which utilize the A->I swap. Super cool!

I'm in my 40s and would only risk starting my own business if I knew my spouse had good insurance, I have enough savings to live off of until my business started generating income, and any money I invested in it wouldn't endanger my current or future well being

As far as risking my day job, that wouldn't concern me too much in today's economy. It's never in 20+ years taken me more than a 2-4 weeks to find a job. Once I saw the writing on the wall for my business and saw that I only had a month's saving left, I would shut down my business ad find another job. I wouldn't sign a long term lease for property until I saw the business was sustainable.

On the other hand, seeing how much headroom I still have in corporate America, the idea would have to be a great one for me not to just be a corporate drone.
So I'd agree about taking the hero worship out of SV. The history of SV is one of successive technology waves, each of which certain people happen to spot & ride first, and then because they make a lot of money on those waves, everybody else idolizes them. And then the next wave happens and it's inevitably someone else who spots them and rides them, and suddenly we all have new heroes.

But when it comes to building a society that benefits everyone - how? That's always the question. Pretty much everyone agrees that it's a good goal, but when it comes down to figuring out "What would peoples' lives look like in a society that benefits everyone", nobody agrees.

I used Surface Pro 4 daily as my main machine. I returned it after a month because of it lack of lap-ability. I use laptops in bed, on couches, etc. While you can use SP4 with keyboard in lap, it is not as carefree as a laptop.

Now that it is gone, I miss it a lot. I bought new MacBook Pro 13 to replace SP4. While yes MBP is easier to use than SP4 in a lap but I didn't realized earlier that SP4 allowed me to use it in more situations.

For example, I took it with me to office and took notes on it in meetings. I would never take a laptop to a social event, but didn't feel bad about bringing SP4 to a friend's place. While it is too heavy to use for extended period of reading, it was still great light reading, especially of small PDFs or magazines.

As for dev work, the screen area was usually on smaller side but completely usable. I used Netbeans and SublimeText for most of my work. In Netbeans, I would close most of extra panes to increase editor's area.

Just in case you are interested, I was using Lightroom to edit photos on it too. Again I had to close side-panes when viewing photos. But I really loved editing photos on it because of touchscreen/pen.

Lastly, I am keeping MacBook Pro 13 for now but I came very close to returning and getting SP4 again. :(

I don't think it's much of a footgun, and I don't think it's limited to CPython.

In Python 3.6, kwargs are ordered. In all versions of Python, kwargs are a dict. Therefore, in any implementation of Python 3.6, dicts are ordered.

The dev team has stopped short of promising that dicts are ordered, but I can't see how one would realistically be harmed by assuming it to be true.

I think that it's very possible that unrestricted political speech isn't needed for dynamic business environments. I feel like a lot of Americans are waiting for the other shoe to drop, but only use vague innuendo or metaphor to explain why free speech is necessary for the next electronics innovation.

Can't we just say we like free speech? Because if we dont, and they can develop new commercial products without it, China will likely never get free speech. They'll just hear about it as something Western companies wanted that China succeeded without.

The wireless provisioning of bandwidth to a residential market has basically failed and does not provide any real competition to wired last-mile access. Without that there is no competitive market for the last mile.

The current landscape is that mobile service providers basically do not provide any service that meet the needs of residential networks. It is difficult to even connect a network of devices to a mobile wireless hotspot without violating the terms of service from the mobile provider or very rapidly hitting bandwidth caps. As far as I can tell, multiple small companies focused on providing wireless residential network service have failed, or stayed very small regional companies because of an inherent technological inadequacy of wireless to compete with the same level of wired transit...

So it becomes not a market for raw bandwidth (which I would be reasonably happy with), but a market for access to bandwidth bundled with whatever junk the provider is trying to bundle. That bandwidth is further encumbered with business agreements restraining travel of data through last-mile access bottlenecks based on secondary agreements not between the customer and ISP (and not disclosed to the end consumer). This also does not make for a good market - choice and visibility are removed from the customer.
Yeah, citing someone is a cheap hack to put propaganda into an article. Nothing really is going to change much for an average reader, except for who is going to influence them and how much.

The whole fact checking thing is a bit subtle. They are essentially excluding all anti-western organisations from fact-checkers, weakening foreign anti-western influence over readers. Manufacturing consent is also going to get easier.
