I read a whole lot of posts by a Russian world traveling photo-blogger a few years back, and one of a few consistent themes was that most remote Pacific islands kinda look like garbage dumps, if anyone lives on them. Others included: former French colonies are usually way worse off than former British colonies, and that the US (and Australia a bit, though less) has like 100x as many posted instructions and regulations as anywhere else.
Hey, sorry to leave this here, but didn't see any contact info in your profile.

Would love to chat with you about the dollar store industry, if you'd be so inclined. I'm particularly curious about Dollarama in Canada, if you're at all familiar with them. My email is in my profile.

The basic question: why is Dollarama so much more profitable than everyone else?
Are you talking about in the US? Because they're much larger than most of the rest of the world too!

I was pretty amazed the first time I went - for McDonalds specifically, the US's medium size for drinks and fries is bigger than our large size in Australia! And we have no super-size or drink refills. (Our Burger King equivalent is about the only fast food chain I can think of that does free refills. It's very rare for restaurants in general here).
The comment to which I replied (not by you) claimed that the anonymity set is all shielded transactions.

It is, in the same sense that the first order anonymity set of Monero transactions is all outputs included in the ring signature which can't be proven implausible (e.g. using the methods in Section 3 of the paper). However, Section 4 of the paper points out that a non-uniform distribution means this is reduced, in practice, to a smaller effective degree. The same method can be used with Zcash to estimate a smaller effective degree since many previous shielded transactions are probabilistically unlikely.

This is certainly not 'deanonymization' or 'tracing' or any such thing, but it isn't that in the Monero case either.

The "application" for TN is a rather new development (introduced in 2012). In the past, you couldn't apply by mail - you just show up at the port of entry with your job offer, description of job responsibilities, and university diploma. And they grant it on the spot. This is still how I get my TN.

In 1984, I wrote a BBS for the Commodore Vic-20 with up to 64 "rooms" (message areas), email and an online game. Users could create a room and make it public or private. The board was very popular with users spending an average time of 70 minutes on it.

That's how I started programming professionally. One of my friends hired me as a programmer, saying "Anyone who can write a BBS for a Vic can program!" Thirty-three years later, that same friend wants me to work with him at Google.
Not necessarily looking to go in the direction you mention, but I'm curious what you mean nonetheless - AFAIK, Skype's consumer/personal offering is free, and then you need to subscribe for business accounts because that all runs on microsoft servers.

Counter position is hard to define in a large market, so take a market with two stocks A and B. You buy shares of A from counter-position-inc who moves that money into B (possibly buying the shares you just dumped).

Over a time period A goes up 5% B goes up 10%. You sell your shares in A (profitably) but under performed the average market returns by 2.5%. counter-position-inc sells its shares in B, over performing the market average by 2.5%.

The writer was wrapping up a reread series of the entire first novel and is now covering the movie versions before moving on to the second novel. I think that colors the perspective: as an adaptation of the novel, Lynch's movie fails horribly, IMO.

There are alot of influences for Star Wars, but the biggest is probably all cinematic: Kurosawa's movies, WWII fighter movies, and some episodic action serials. I won't say that Sci-Fi books weren't an influence, as I'm sure there were people who read Dune working on Star Wars, but they weren't a huge influence for Lucas.

It's a failure of policy to be sure, but it's not as though planning is really at fault here, just as open borders isn't really a market solution (even though the implication that it is somehow worms its way into this argument). A market solution would be to use the government to perpetuate scarcity of visa slots and enforce property rights around a visa, and allow visa holders to sell or trade their visa rights. As a corollary, the problem with immigration is not inefficient allocation of slots caused by planning, its that we have immigration limits to begin with.

It's a neoliberal trope to try to work markets into every social problem, but this is really an issue concerning ethics and justice, not allocation.
Stereo error is quadratic with range. Bad times. You don't need high resolution, just a wide baseline for accuracy at distance. Resolution will only get you so far because you can't get (and you wouldn't want) sensors with pixels below a micron in size. You usually can't change the focal length much because you have constraints on field of view, therefore the only viable option is more baseline.

e_z = e_d * Z^2/(b*f)

e_d is the disparity error (i.e. matching error) in metric units; i.e. a few microns, Z is distance, b is baseline, f is focal length

It's relatively easy to estimate the accuracy you can achieve on a car because the maximum baseline is fixed to < 2m typically. You can plug in reasonable fields of view, sensors etc. Typically you can assume 0.25 px matching accuracy, assuming the algorithm does sub-pixel interpolation.

Example: e_d = 2.2µm, Z=30m, b=1.5m, f=3mm (for a 2000px wide sensor that's 70 degrees FOV): e_z = ~40 cm. That's not too bad - enough to identify something big. At 100 m you'd have a disparity of 20 pixels. If you had a search radius of 256 px you'd have a close-range of 8m.

Nowadays the compute problem isn't too bad - you just throw a GPU at it (or an FPGA, but you have memory limitations there).

LIDAR has a more or less constant error with range, provided you've got a high enough signal to noise. However this does mean that at short distances, LIDAR is quite poor relatively.

And even records are hardly a quirk like the ones I listed for JavaScript: as long as you remember that they're just syntax around tuples, you're hardly ever surprised by what they do. You'll never get a runtime behavior you didn't expect.
Sometimes the "suggestion" comes when you're wide awake, at which point it's got nothing to do with the unconscious. You see something, or you hear someone say something, and suddendly you have a brainwave and rush to your desk and write like crazy for a couple of hours- something just clicks. And it comes entirely from outside, from the concrete, objective (haha) reality outside your head.

So the unconscious mind doesn't have to send you any cryptic signals. In fact, nothing needs to send you any signals. Just a bit of luck and the ability to form associations is all you need.

Pretty sure that line predates anyone paying attention to Bezos. It is a natural implication of the disruption model of product design, and was discussed heavily in terms of changes in the computer industry before the web existed, let alone Amazon.
Generally I try to head this off before I even get into the situation. I will boldly ask whether there will be any white boarding during an interview. If there is I will often explain why that's not a good idea and see what else they would be willing to do to interview me. The discussion is usually very valuable to both of us.

I also will bring a laptop with me to the interview. If it turned out they would like to ask me a white boarding question while I am there I have said "I would much prefer we pair on a solution to that together. I have my laptop here. Why don't we get started? I bet we could deploy something in the next 10 minutes." This often leads to, again, either a good discussion or even better an actual pairing session which teaches me about my interviewer and them about me.

If they really insist I whiteboard something, I will say no unless it's a problem that really interests me.

I was a very early proponent of docker, and have been using it continuously since the very early versions. I read the release notes and most weeks I read the weekly email newsletter, and I still don't really have a clue where Docker is going, what its current status is (as far as how the various pieces fit together, etc) or what half the new features even do.

The docker team's communication is really poor, and their documentation seems even worse, unless I'm missing some oracle somewhere that fills in all the details that the actual documentation leaves out...

In almost all of these cases, one person (or small group of people) made the purchasing decision for many more people. Likely this was based on price, not utility.

I think that's a bit harsh. The article explained why the writer feels that the movie fails as a movie, especially as a SF movie. Even David Lynch wasn't that happy with the end result and really disliked the TV cuts. The title of the article is a bit punchy, but it's clearly about Lynch's understanding of the SF genre, not about how people who liked or hated the movie feel about SF.

I disagree with that assessment. Users reported the order was wrong, he simply had to look at those users and their live data to replicate it.

Even in those scenarios, I rarely have to look at live data, reading the code is often enough to identify it or playing around a little bit. The patience to replicate a bug before trying to fix it.

This is the essence that sets apart a good debugger from a bad one. A bad one resorts to littering the code with print/log statements because either they can't replicate the problem or they simply can't run the code in their head.

I'm being unfair, it's not even that, they simply need more experience. When I was younger I remember complaining that exception stacks were utter gobbledigook, utterly useless. Now, I read one and often know exactly what the bug is. I was completely and utterly wrong, impatient and unwilling to admit my ignorance. At the time I thought I was wise and knowing. They're very useful, I simply didn't understand them.

My "simply" from above belies the years of experience I have.
I think it's less greed and more simple population growth. These technologies were invented in the name of efficiency. We all have a bit of the burden to share here.

For example, fishing line. What would happen if we banned this? I think there might be dire consequences for cultures that depend on seafood for sustenance.
The first mini-series was a bit hit-and-miss for me as well. I loved James McAvoy's take on Leto II in the Children of Dune miniseries though. The sci-fi miniseries treated the characters alot better than Lynch's work, but sacrificed the special effects and some of the world building.

Ok, so you're talking about simple scripts that are contained in a single file, in that case it's possible to simply write a script that works on all versions. I wrote many scripts like this (ok, not all versions but 2.6-3.6), it's really on the developer.

I mean even within a single major version there are changes that are incompatible. For example 2.6 doesn't have OrderedDict, doesn't have set comprehension. 3.3 doesn't have asyncio, 3.4 doesn't have async/await, 3.5 doesn't have types annotation for variables etc.

So having python2/python3 doesn't really benefit much especially that at this point everyone is moving away from 2.7.

Edit: virtualenv is builtin in python since 3.4.

I got caught by another Skype issue - merged my long-time Skype account with my MS account.

Old skype account - kinda bad password.

MS account - great password, 2FA.

Then I got alerts that someone in China had logged in to my MS account. I couldn't figure out how they'd done this until...

I figured out they'd signed in to skype, using my old skype username and old skype password that were still valid for some unknown reason after merging it in to my far more secure MS account.

Planning is not the problem, and open borders is not a market solution. There's a fair point to be made that it's an overreach of the state, that it's unethical and pointlessly carceral and represents the kinds of things we shouldn't have government doing, but that has nothing to do with it being a failure of planning. And the soviet analogy is really going out of your way to score redbaiting ideological points when you can compare it to every other needlessly cruel and punitive policy that leads to social ills in our own legal system. At least that would be a comparison structured around the actual problem, which is one of morality and justice.

I suppose I'm a "young person". I prefer Snapchat because you can be yourself. It's private by default. There's no pressure to post amazing things. I often just post almost-spam crap that my friends and I find amusing - like doodles, bad selfies, a picture of a cool carpet. It's easier to avoid showing off - which I really don't want to seem like I am. The filters and drawing features make it easy to add info to a picture (location, temperature, pointing out things, etc).

I avoid Facebook for many reasons. You have to be careful about who your posts are seen by. It's public by default. I have colleagues, family, and people I've met just once or twice on there. Any posts I make need to be inoffensive and anodyne. Scrolling down a Facebook feed fills me with FOMO, jealousy, rage, or other negative emotions. It's obvious they don't actually want to improve the core product. I feel used.

They're essentially attempting to distinguish their commercial offerings from the upstream open-source project. They are cornering the name "Docker" for themselves since it has a lot of name recognition.

This has pros and cons. Red Hat and Mozilla both learned they had to be aggressive with trademarks, as people were distributing sabotaged builds under their product names.

That's why Firefox in Debian is called IceWeasel, for example; any Firefox build that incorporates external patches (or even one that is built with unofficial options, iirc) must not be called Firefox (barring a waiver from the Mozilla Foundation). This allows Mozilla to pursue people who are distributing contaminated builds of "Firefox".

Changing posture on the Docker trademark will make the arguments of Docker Inc. more persuasive should they find themselves needing to make use of the same sort of remedy. It will also make a separate upstream so that Docker will now be based off the "Moby Framework". If Docker Inc. becomes defunct, "Moby" will be an separate project that lost its primary sponsor, not a defunct project bearing the name of a dead company.

The cons are that it's probably a signal that Docker is going to continue working to monetize aggressively, potentially including spurious legal threats that limit the discoverability of competitors and vendors of alternate tooling. For example, it's possible that Kubernetes will no longer work "with Docker" but "with Moby", and the only orchestration for "Docker" will be docker-swarm.

It's also a potential signal that Docker plans to gear more of its work toward its souped-up closed-source distribution available to paying customers only.

The other pro is that Docker as a product totally sucks, so their alienating people in the community will drive users to other solutions that suck less. I keep hoping the containerization fad will go back in the bottle, and while unlikely, this diminishes faith in it since Docker == containers to a lot of people, so that's good.
Could they call it anything less self-explanatory?
Man, this is a great idea.

EDIT: Hey, you can actually download it right now if you join the beta.
Sure. I'll use the quantum circuit model of quantum computation since it removes a lot of non-essential details.

A quantum circuit is analogous to an idealized digital one, in that it is composed of gates with (possibly multiple) inputs and outputs, hooked together by "wires" that "carry" quantum states. However the gates aren't able to perform arbitrary operations; they can only multiply the inputs by unitary matrices to produce the outputs. These kind of matrices are always invertible, so none of the gates can "lose" any information the way some digital gates do. You also can't hook one output to multiple inputs, though you can ignore an output if you want.

However if you want to do some sort of computation whose output makes it into your brain (or a classical computer) you need to measure one or more of the output states. With digital circuits this is trivial; with quantum circuits you have to decide how you want to make the measurement (essentially along what "axis" between zero and one), and the output is in general probabilistic based on the angle between the measurement axis and the actual value. You also only get to do one measurement per output per instance of computation; the original output state will be replaced by the measured value which will usually not be the original output state, and all the intermediate states will already be consumed by the computation itself.

This is why most quantum algorithms are probabilistic. Shor's algorithm (the RSA breaking one) can actually fail even with an ideal quantum computer. However the likelihood of failure is small enough that running the computation a few times is enough to get the right answer with high probability (and it's easy to check if the output is right).

You could take any computable function that takes in N bits, apply it to a superposition of all 2^N possible inputs (encoded as N qubits) with about the same level of effort it takes to apply it to only one classical input. However there's no measurement which can recover the 2^N different outputs in one shot, or find the input associated with a specific output value. Most of the ingenuity in designing quantum algorithms comes in smuggling data out of quantum states by cleverly causing interference to push the possible output values into alignment with your measurement axis.
