If you can't find the time for the gym and don't want or don't have the space to buy and build a whole homegym, can I suggest to buy a good but simple in-home rowing machine? It is, imho, the perfect combination between aerobic and anaerobic exercises and it really works out every of your muscles in a good way, the only downside is that you have to be careful and learn the correct movements else you are just going to get pain in your whole back.

A good one, with a good variety of (high) resistance and a quality rope would cost about 400/500$, double it if you want agonist-level equipment.
you need to find some customers that are willing to pay for it. If not pay at least use it.
I'd expect that people might soften the wording of their reviews, but to the detriment of their own time (i.e. spend more time by offering the same critique more constructively). I don't worry that people might soften their reviews by simply being less critical.
You haven't even given the title. What am I supposed to do, hunt down every reference you fail to cite to dispute a point no one is making - i.e. that countervailing narratives exist within groups on opinions they are assumed to have consensus about? Sorry, no. Burden of evidence for a documentary you vaguely allude is on you, and I'm happy for others to watch it and draw their own conclusions, because I've got to get to work.
I remember testing Oj a few years back and finding that yajl where still faster for some cases, I believe it was very large arrays of thousands of objects.

I did some impromptu benchmarking now, and couldn't find a case where Oj performed worse than yajl. Impressive!

There are a number of ways one could teach debugging. There are for example a number of CTF challenges with reversing that can be used to train persons in using debuggers to find and fix issues. The good thing with CTF challenges is that they have clear goals (find the flag) so you know when you are done.

Another way which we have used is to engage students in open source projects. Look at bug trackers to find a few issues and then try to solve them. This also teaches students a lot of other things like:
- How to work in existing projects
- How to ignore large parts of a code base to focus on a given issue
- How to write test cases
- How to create patches that match project code style
- How to communicate and participate in projects.

I think the Feynman Method is equally applicable to debugging; I've also done some teaching before, and seen far too many beginners open the debugger at the first bug they find and start stepping aimlessly through the code, seemingly unaware of what their code should be doing. They eventually reach the point where the program outputs the wrong result, and have no better understanding of what they did wrong, because they were too focused on what the code is doing to think about what it should be doing. I call it "debugger-induced tunnel vision".

My advice on this is to, before even thinking about using a debugger, think carefully about and write down if necessary the conditions and values expected at certain points in the code. Then, and only then, should you use the debugger to confirm or deny those hypotheses. In practice, with those I've taught, guiding them through this procedure, they often realise the source of the bug before using the debugger.
What you should do, is get a sound recorder and record his stories. And of course you should post the to storycorps or similar place.
"Any reason you give for not exercising regularly is not a reason, it's an excuse".

Commuting 20-30 minutes to a gym sounds completely absurd [0]. You can use that time for exercising. Just walk or run around your home or office, or climb stairs, or do calisthenics in your living room, or whatever.

What I do is cycle to work, which takes about 1 hour per day plus showering both ways (driving the same distance would take about 40 minutes two ways.)

This can be done in the context of algorithms but not in professional programming in general. Software has dependencies with zillions of components. If you want to formal proof everything, the software field would move like a turtle, with wisdom but very slow.
Because a lot of them hardly teach programming as it is.
Agreed - if you have the space, get a Concept2 rowing machine. Do 2km on that every day (<15min), you have covered a lot of bases.

I'd also say, get a door-frame pull up bar and a set of adjustable dumb bells, and you can do an extremely effective workout in minimal time.
Some years back, I re-evaluated how I spend my free time (not working, not with the family). I knew that I mostly surfed online or watched TV. I decided to only watch TV if I could be in the midst of a workout. I spent a few hundred bucks getting some basic exercise equipment for my home and I began using it almost every day after work in the evenings.

I'm very pleased with that decision. It's produced great results for me, both physically and mentally.

> Hitler won barely 33% of the vote in the last free and fair elections. Even after seizing power and after a violent campaign of intimidation Hitler only got 44% of the vote.

I wish there were polls for support for Hitler after the successful conquest of Poland and France. The accounts from that period speak of enthusiasm bordering on mass hysteria.

Edit: skim-read GP, got the wrong ML.

I touched on the PL ML in a type systems course. I can't speak for how common it is though. It's certainly much more likely for someone who takes a course on type systems or PL theory though, presumably given that choice it's pretty common.

--

> Is an ML course now a common part of an undergraduate degree programme​, though?

There were several available to me. It's​ not really a particular interest of mine, but I took an introductory course anyway, since it would have seemed a bit remiss in today's world to have graduated without knowing an NN from an SVM.

Unfortunately for my grades, performance usually reflects interest... I still don't think I actually regret it though.

UN could have stopped Srebrenica massacre but didn't and still didn't get bombed or punished.

Having friends with connections always helps, same way USA is "spreading democracy" all over the world without consequence. Winners write history.

Also Belgrade was bombed due to issues on Kosovo not over Srebrenica which was done by Bosnian Serbs.

Srpska krajina was part of Croatia and full of all kinds of militia, a lot of people would have left out of fear of reprisal if nothing else when Croatian troops came in or just to live on Serbian controlled territory (which makes sense, you rarely want to stay on occupied territory unless you need to).

That is not to say there were no crimes committed, But killing people en mass and putting them into a big hole is much different then shelling a city. If you want to talk about Croats doing genocides go back to 1940ies.

Why Gotovina and Markac were not put in jail for ethnic cleansing is another story. Some could argue that it didn't happen some have other accounts.

To be honest most of the blame lies with Tudjman and Milosevic which together planned a lot of stuff that happened in Balkans both of which died without even a small punishment but managed to get people rallied up. I think punishments that extend to following generations just make the hate live longer and possibility of another war more real.

The point is we should not call out who is to blame 25 years later, but figure out how to continue to live together, and no, not all family of victims want retaliation and punishment, some people actually understand that bringing this up and finger pointing will just further the divide and make room for another war, all they want is bodies of their family members back and for this to never happen again. This can be made sure with dialog and education not just punishment.

I might be wrong, but I think punishment should always be last resort. Same when bringing up kids for example.

There's a quote under "Skill theory" on that page from Feynman:

> "Right. I don't believe in the idea that there are a few peculiar people capable of understanding math, and the rest of the world is normal. Math is a human discovery, and it's no more complicated than humans can understand. I had a calculus book once that said, 'What one fool can do, another can.' What we've been able to work out about nature may look abstract and threatening to someone who hasn't studied it, but it was fools who did it, and in the next generation, all the fools will understand it. There's a tendency to pomposity in all this, to make it deep and profound." -- Feynman, Omni 1979

The "what one fool can do" quote from a calculus book is probably from Calculus Made Easy that was posted on HN a couple of days ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14161876

In Calculus Made Easy, the exact quote is "What one fool can do, another can. -- (Ancient Simian Proverb)".
I would say, surely the author realises this and has decided to go for 'valueless' for dramatic effect. As a fellow somewhat pedant I totally agree, it's not intellectually consistent and would probably change me into a more disagreeable mode whilst reading it. That said I wonder how many flawed but worthwhile things would not come to be if such consistency was universally applied...
> Now, I'd like to be ethical. I want to choose to be. And I'd like us all to be ethical to each other. But you should make the case that it's beneficial for people to be ethical to each other

Well, you just implicitly made your own case for ethics, one of the strongest ones, IMO: any situation where there is a tradeoff between individual gain and communal loss, ethical thinking is required. If that tradeoff doesn't exist, like the win-win situations that can be encountered in many economic situations, ethics aren't required.

Therefore it's never "beneficial" to you as an individual to be ethical in any individual situation. It's only as the ethical decisions begin to pile up across society that we see clearly it is more beneficial in the aggregate if everyone co-operates than if everyone defects.

anigbrowl is just noting some common heuristics that generate similar ethical outcomes but using simpler logic.

Anyway, I think the reason people are going beyond legality to morality here is that Uber has established a pattern of behavior over time as an actor that doesn't follow the rules and does whatever it wants. It isn't accidental; they've exhausted their reserves of good faith.

The show needed to pivot. I think they painted themselves into a corner with the plot. If someone did create a new better compression technology, they would just patent it and live off the royalties. Or just sell a binary library to every software vendor on the planet.

Personally I preferred the show Beta's for it's prospect of a social network trying to get established. There would be a lot of mileage in that.

I agree, making the topic taboo fuels the denialists. I beg you to reconsider the notion that the numbers killed in the holocaust is a closed topic. Even the article quoted elsewhere on this forum (which appears to me to exploit Wiesenthal's actual view by quoting it out of context) if you read through notes that no less a holocaust denialist fighter than Deborah Lipstadt is even open to discussion on this topic when it comes to authoritative and informed discussion about making these estimations.

My point is just that Holocaust denialism and anti-Jewish bigotry makes its wedge into discourse as classic F.U.D. People make a few unsourced, innocuous sounding comments, put in some well-known weasel words, wait to be challenged, and cry "cover up/bias".

Why does high school have to be so boring? The worst subject for me was math. I was struggling in math, and was less than motivated. I ended up failing the state exam freshman year and went to summer school to re-learn the material. I studied a couple hours a day during the 6 or so weeks of summer school. What I learned here was discipline and how to plow through something you're not crazy about to reach a goal.

I never truly "got" the trigonometry and geometry until I started going graphics programming. High school is too much theory and not enough application of the theory and experimentation.
>I had a calculus book once that said, 'What one fool can do, another can.'

A link to a pdf file of a copy of an old calculus book from early nineteen-hundreds showed up on HN a week or so ago. I read the first couple of pages. That quote is likely referencing that particular book. I have lost the link now. Anyone remember?

There's also the concept of natural and inalienable rights, at least theoretically in the US. In practice many of the 'Constitution lovers' among the politicians and authority figures will happily deny many of these natural rights whenever possible and useful to their own ends.
This is important. The prevailing narrative is still that, for example, a social safety net stifles innovation.

If I actually spell it out, it's quite absurd: "Google and Facebook and Apple only got started because our society threatens inactivity with starvation".

Any survey of founders' backgrounds will reveal that they almost exclusively hail from the upper-middle class and higher, meaning that their family or education provided them the security to take such risks, and to forgo a regular income in the early days/months/years.

You have the general idea right in that the matching routine itself might completely avoid the regex engine. But that doesn't mean the implementation saves every possible instruction during compilation. For the most part, compilation is assumed to be amortized somehow, so as long as it's reasonable, not much work has gone into making it as fast as possible.

What you don't consider is that these Jews were Polish citizens. They lived in that country for hundreds of years and became an integral part of the culture, science and economy.
Do you consider Jewish-Americans not Americans? When you talk about people lost in 9/11 do you split people by race or religion?

Now, when you consider that these 11.3% of the 24.4 ethnic Poles and 90% of 3.3 mln POLISH Jews died, can you still say that Polish losses were smaller?
You simply have to prioritize it over some of those other leisure activities.

Personally, I strongly recommend getting a door frame pull up bar and a set of gymnast rings to go with it. This should provide all the equipment you need for a reasonably good body weight resistance training routine.

For cardio, there are many options. Running? You just need shoes and 30 minutes. And you only need cardio once or twice a week.

A little exercise is like a drug. It makes me feel stronger, smarter, more alert. You don't have to go to a gym and bulk up, you just need to start somewhere. Do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
there is no very strong link between lack of activity and dementia though. Anecdotal evidence is just that.
This is a very typical "extreme reach" barrier. I cannot exercise every day, therefore I am not going to do any.

What about starting at once per week? You don't have start at the optimal point. Once per week is already going to create the habit, give you some health and energy benefits and you can scale up from there.

Also, gym or equipment are not necessary. I do everything at home, and my only "equipment" is composed of a mat and a pull-up bar attached to a door. You can get each item for around 10$.

You can do HIIT cardio exercises that last only 10-20 minutes and have been shown to be much more beneficial than long cardio sessions like running for one hour.

You can also increase muscle mass doing calisthenics exercises with as little as 10 minutes of exercise no more than twice per week (total weekly time: 20 minutes).

I recommend reading the 4 Hour Body from Tim Ferris for this.

There are a lot of options that don't need to include going to the gym or long exercises.
But there exists charge timers. You can plug in the car, it starts charging at a selected time. As soon as their count is noticeable, there will be incentives to have the energy suppliers determine the charging speed to stabilize networks and get cheaper rates.

I am glad to present you all my latest project: clight.

Clight will set your screen backlight level by capturing frames from webcam and computing ambient brightness; it can manage your screen gamma temperature too.
It uses geoclue2 to retrieve user location, and will compute sunrise/sunset times to set gamma.

It depends on a Bus interface i developed together with it, Clightd.
Clightd is responsible of setting/getting screen brightness, capture frames from webcam and returning their average brightness, and setting/getting gamma.
As it uses libudev to get/set backlight/get video device, it is much less prone to mistakes than "fopen/fscanf/fprintf", and safer.

Both softwares are distributed with a GPL license.

For more informations, please refer to both projects READMEs.
I hope someone will find them interesting and useful!

I have mentioned this in previous threads, but here goes:

See if there are squash courts in your area. If so, take lessons (commit to 5-10 lessons), and ask the instructor to introduce you to other novice players. The game is exhilerating, easy to learn, low-inpact, high cardio, and has a huge supportive world wide community.

In one year, I went from doing no gym / physical activity, to playing squash 3x a week (or more). Additionally, since I'm at the gym anyway, I am now doing gym routine alongside playing squash (something that during my 34 years of living, I'd never managed to keep up as a routine). A funny aside - I've never been a morning person, but I've been trying to "fix" that by scheduling squash games with people at 05:30 am. It "stings" in the morning, but it's incredible how awake you are at 6:30 after having battled it out on the court at full blast. I might flake out on myself to get to the gym that early, but I won't flake out on another person I committed to. Your mileage may vary, but just sharing something which (finally) worked for me. Good luck!
