I mean sure, they can use it wrong.

If you REALLY want buy it now + auction, you use a reserve price.

Say, start at a penny, reserve price of $50, buy it now price of $70.

Then buy it now dies not "disappear" with 1 bid for a penny. It sticks around until you hit $50.

If you really but no reserve and buy it now on an auction, you are literally flushing money down the crapper. Unsure why eBay allows this, maybe easy money for them. But this use case is user error mode, and not how anyone who uses eBay would actually sell on eBay.
A rather important library we use at work is built on Potsgres range types. And we interact with it through an ORM (a co-worker of mine will be presenting how it works, and the open-source release of it, at PyCon this year).
If that were true people would not use the currency outside the country. But they do.
It is also worth making note, that Intel (and to a lesser extent AMD), have had a fair amount of advantage by being further ahead in chip fabrication technology, having more transistors has played a major role in how Intel kept it's status.
Doing the math and telling anyone about it, then, if you want to be unnecessarily pedantic. They're counting it as a separate offense from anything relating to the use of the word "engineer". It's not disingenuous to claim that the board is punishing him for doing the math. It would be wrong to say that doing the math is the only offense they're citing him for, but it is an independent offense that they're complaining about.
Just recently, I was talking to a group of International Relations graduate students about global problems like climate change. I pointed out that none of them (in this case) had a background in science, and couldn’t even prove to themselves that the e.g. the Earth is round. So, “how can you possibly hope to cause ordinary people to understand, believe, and appreciate anthropogenic climate change?” I asked.

Predictably, most of the rejoinders were some variation of “we just need to show them the studies and the data”. My reply was that was that we all need to be more intellectually humble and realize that, even among us educated people, most of our beliefs come from having attended the right kinds of theatrical performances (e.g. a good lecture, book, documentary, etc.), which is the same for most of the skeptics and deniers. I told them that the best thing that they could do for their cause is to (1) make sure that they have a basic understanding of the principles of climate science and then (2) create a really good theatrical show that includes some powerful props.
The hard part isn't building the parser, the hard part is recognizing that a parser would be a good solution to the problem and distilling the problem into a form for which the solution works. One of the main purposes of a college degree is to come out knowing a lot about what you don't know. That is, knowing a lot about what sorts of things exist, even if you don't know much detail about any of those things.
I have buit several z80 and 6502 kits in recent years with high school students involved with my nonprofit LoudounCodes. This one is my favorite - http://cpuville.com/Z80_kit.html

You can see a video of me talking about programming it here - https://vimeopro.com/user24051491/rubynation-2016/video/1778...
What do you leave your house for for a few hours every two years?
Ligatures aside, I tried this font in IntelliJ and found the letter spacing to be far too wide.
Cute, but isn't this almost like functional programming given a cartesianMap?

e.g.

const X = ['a', 'b'];
const Y = [1, 2];
const res = cartesianMap(X, Y)((x, y) => [x, y]);
console.log(res); // [['a', 1], ['a', 2], ['b', 1], ['b', 2]]
> "Possible" isn't the question. The question is "practically achievable, given the relevant constraints."

I meant the same thing.

> Given that we often do much worse than them (e.g. where it comes to roads, public transit, or healthcare), they're a pretty good benchmark for what's practically achievable for us.

Perhaps that perception has something to do with simultaneously believing that we are the bearers of riches across the world, and that the rest of the world is also responsible for holding us back.
I got the other problem: I've been away from SQL and databases too long to tell you. Set theory is one of those mathematical notations that can be used to model all kinds of things. They often prove out the simpler, easy-to-automate logics in more powerful ones like it. There's introductions to set theory online but here's what you might have not spotted:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_theoretic_programming

It was also used in formal specifications like Z. Also, used in one, verifying compiler that cheated the spec-to-code correspondence by straight-up turning the logical specs into executable Prolog. On database side, it would be Datalog for you to look into to explore logic programming + queries. Plenty of info out there on that with one DB (Datomic) built around it.

I've definitely developed habits that were based on mistaken beliefs, then changed them fairly easily when my beliefs changed. I don't think it's crazy to think that someone who is obsessed with optimizing every second of life could change their tune when they start to think of "down time" as productive.
I have an irrational hatred of chroots on Android, mainly because it's made Googling for info on running mainline Linux on these devices impossible.

At the point you're using X11 on Android, wouldn't you be better off with a Chromebook?

I'm also interested in Samsung's DeX. We're well past the point where I should be able to carry one device in my pocket and dock into extra peripherals as needed.

Sidenote: of course we couldn't have a standard for dockable devices. So we've got Microsoft's Continuum, Samsung's DeX and whatever MaruOS is doing these days.
I work in a steel mill we use a similar setup with an optical camera to size streams of Ore and Coke particles. One thing you could look into is using a vibrating feeder (sometimes called a 'vibro') this is what we use to stop screens from 'pegging' - similar issue to the bridging problem mentioned in the article.
Why even get a smartphone if all you want is the basics? Might as well get a feature phone and enjoy the extra battery life.
That's completely irrelevant. The issue at hand is whether the US is able to pony up 1200 tons of gold, not whether they can back their whole currency base with gold at current exchange rate.
Titles aren't the whole of the post; in the body the author enumerates several other paradigms the proposed paradigm is not.
I think the best way that the city will be able to fix the issue is, honestly, with some type of delivery infrastructure or an increase in taxes on items that must be delivered.

Ideas -

1. Tubes that resemble skywalks to deliver packages with self-driving or remote-controlled carts? This will get the deliveries off the street and as close as they can get to their final destination. It should ease a good amount of congestion.

2. Add a delivery tax to cut-down on online ordering and encourage local shopping.

3. Get every local business to list their items online to compete with online marketplaces. The majority of local businesses still have no online presence (outside of social media where they seldom post). There is no way for me to know that the copy shop a few blocks over sells cheaper paper unless I actually go into the store. They're basically invisible to me. Local businesses, for some reason, do not feel the need to compete with online companies until it is too late.

4. Designate two or three days a week for deliveries in the city. Outside of those days, block delivery trucks. It may force delivery companies/businesses to more efficient with their logistics, delivering more to a specific neighborhood at one time than they would have otherwise.

IDK. I'm sure there are so many other (better) ideas. I wish YC Cities had a site like Hacker News specifically for posts focused on cities and urban living.
There are probably trivially few fixed constants of social behavior. The animal's feedback loop of encoding stimulus and producing response in environment is, though, determined by genetics. For example, you how would respond to me stroking your shoulder is extremely contextual. The given nervous system's training which produces the response to said shoulder stroking is a complicated and chaotic system born from fixed genes.
Sorry for the goose chase it was actually the book Boomerang by Michael Lewis which goes over the various debt crises of the past decade in Iceland, Ireland, and Greece. It ends with a section talking about the bankruptcy of Vallejo and it talks about the unsustainable pension situation in San Jose. A light, informative, and entertaining read IMO.

The numbers I listed are likely inaccurate and came from my 2+ yr old memory of reading the book.
Replace "gold" in your statement by any other physical asset (silver, shells, rubies, ...) and you realize that this doesn't make much sense. If the world were to switch to a water-based currency and all other uses for gold would disappear 1200 tons of gold would be worthless
Perfect. Everything should be privacy first with an opt-in for sharing in exchange for services.
People tossing around the word "healthy" like it's a well-grounded term.

Obviously, juice is full of vitamins and micronutrients. It's dense as hell. It's an expressway to diabetes if you drink lots of it. But damn if it isn't an effective cure for scurvy, low blood sugar, fainting, etc.

I don't disagree with the article; however, the moralizing of health is absolutely moronic. There aren't good foods and bad foods; there is only nutrition and the decisions you make.

Edit: from the same goddamn newspaper: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/no-food-is-hea...
Language ergonomics is more important than being CPU efficient. We have enough CPU performance that we can be a wasteful, LLVM in my opinion is good enough. Current industry standard languages are terrible in terms of productivity. Compared to Smalltalk or Lisps we seems to be standing in the same place for last 20 years.

What I would like to see is some kind of new take on Smalltalk with async/fibers and inferred static typing . I would like to see language that have hybrid interpreter/compiler modes that allow for decent performance in interpreted mode but to compile into binary when deploying into production.
But you can pay for this level of service for PostgreSQL too, there are a bunch of companies which offer it, and I bet you can get it for a fraction of the price you would buy the same service for from Oracle or Microsoft. So this seems to me to mostly stem for a poor understanding of open source.
Are there any engineers interested in developing an open source electric vehicle, or vertical take-off electric vehicle?
You're not wrong, if the only verb is `c.expand()`. In Haskell you would write:

-- omitting the definitions as trivial...
cmdline (Suite box (Compiler cmd _ out_opt) (Test binary sources))
= intercalate " " [cmd, sources, out_opt, binary]

testSuites = [Suite srvr comp test |
srvr <- [box1, box2, box3, box4],
comp <- [gcc, clang, msvc],
test <- [frobnicate, loadtest, end2end],
not (binary test == "loadtest" && ram srvr < 8)]

(Note that Haskell lets you specify what `==` means so probably the above should say `test == loadtest` more directly...)

If there are other verbs then it might not be 100% equivalent. For example one might want a sort of "Non-uniform random choice monad," let's say a monad of "Choosers", which will quickly generate a random candidate test suite. If you wanted to support both, you'd want to quickly define:

class Monad m => MChoice m where
choose :: [x] -> m x
invalid :: m x
invalid = choose []
mfilter :: Bool -> m ()
mfilter True = return ()
mfilter False = invalid

instance MChoice [] where choose = id

Then you can say,

testSuites :: MChoice m => m TestSuite
testSuites = do
srvr <- choose [box1, box2, box3, box4]
comp <- choose [gcc, clang, msvc]
test <- choose [frobnicate, loadtest, end2end]
mfilter . not $ test == loadtest && ram srvr < 8
return $ Suite srvr comp test

In this respect maybe Cartesian programming represents a generalization of the list monad.
out of curiosity what is the model of choice internally?
As a counterpoint, I work in high finance and one of our core systems that I'm expected to know extremely well uses Paxos for consensus.

Just because those topics show up infrequently doesn't mean that no one's using them. Plenty of companies outside of Google, etc. are doing complicated things that require a solid CS background.
Actually the rest isn't window dressing, unless you're working on a very narrowly scoped glorified CS project. Actual engineering-scope projects may or may not require a deep understanding of "the fundamentals" but certainly not to the extent that the focus on them for interviews suggests.
If it is it's not for my mom's family. My grandmother had type 2 she died in the mid 1990s but she had type 2 since she was quite young not a kid but early on as an adult.

She lived on a farm, ate only vegetables except the occasional roast on Sunday, walked everywhere, very little sugar, ate locally grown food, no McDonalds or fast food at all in this isolated rural area in the 1940s even 1950s and 1960s, a healthy lifestyle didn't help.

One of my aunts (mother's side) died of pancreatic cancer. So it seems there is some genetic problem for pancreases (sp?) and women on my mom's side.
Even low end devices are shipping with SSDs now. The last time Windows 10 was slow for me it was either because it was still on a 5400RPM drive (brand new $900AUD PC from a retailer...) or because Intel had tricked a whole lot of ODMs into thinking the Z series Atoms were desktop processors rather than for mid-range smartphones.

People respond more strongly to the framing of an argument than to its logical content (case in point: GP), and so I would argue that choosing the frame of the oppressor (e.g. it is wasted time) actually reinforces the belief and is counterproductive to changing the habit. It would be better to attack the frame directly by challenging the notion that it's wasted time, instead of parroting it.
He's not at that level yet!

Dental decay is painful. Tooth extraction is a leading cause of hospitalisation of children (it's the leading cause in the UK), and this surgery carries a risk of death.

It's cruel to expose children to pain and harm, especially when it's normally completely avoidable.

Again, as the previous poster suggested, in the past it didn't work so well. The local authorities might want to own your land too, and you will clearly not pay more for its protection than it is worth. There's no need to theorize when the history provides so many examples of wealthy people losing their vast land holdings as a result of change in the political climate.
Holy shit. I just googled "Linux on the Web" and the related searches had my first and last name. Is anyone else seeing that? Or is it just local to where I'm living, where I'm kinda famous like that?

As far as I can tell, that article doesn't actually name Google Keep as being shut down, and was in fact written shortly after Keep was released. Which is a relief, since Keep is exactly what I want from a notes app.
Universities have a higher calling than responding to market pressures. Teaching students to ethically evaluate more aspects of their lives is certainly an aspect of this calling.

If you want vocational training (and there's nothing wrong with that), go to a code boot camp. If you want an education, go to a university.
It's because they, like you, get nothing out of revealing information that they aren't required to reveal, except they have training that says, "Don't say anything until you have to, even if it seems rude," whereas the average person stopped does not treat it quite so adversarially, and tends to waive their right to remain silent.

Presumably, the reason that so many Kafkaesque stories crop up is because these people are not required to tell you why you are being detained if asked.
Census Reporter: Making Census Data Easy to Use
I agree, though it can be a little jarring going into what you expect to be a whiteboard interview, and just answering questions verbally. Its nice, certainly, but if you're not expecting it (and why would you, given the odds) it can take a bit to get your footing.
If you don't mind elaborating, what do you consider the most important security properties still missing from Android on the Pixel phone?

My personal wishlist would include an equivalent of iOS's ability to encrypt new files to a public key while the phone is locked, as pointed out by Matt Green in "The limitations of Android N Encryption", but I'm interested in your perspective.
In other news, every employer under the sun complains there aren't enough qualified developers.
Hmmm. Good luck to Google, for the current ISP's are absolutely ridiculous. I think that maybe telephone poles should be owned by the state/city/county and ISP's should just pay a fee to the city to use them. The govt can raise money to pay for the poles through taxes or municipal bonds. This way competition can't be blocked out of using basic infrastructure.
There were 29 words in my post. Looks like you stopped reading after 14. Any reason for that?
I refuse to sign up to Academia and ResearchGate, for-profit companies that are littering indexes with pay-wall accessible PDFs that should be available through institutional login, or the author's website. And now, through sci-hub.

Google scholar paired with sci-hub has become the fastest way to access papers given that institutional subscriptions are scatter gun.

1. Find paper on scholar.google.com
2. Find PDF or pay-wall
3. Click the sci-hub bookmarklet

If I want to discover papers from my field, I talk to my colleagues. Another wall-garden I do not need.
"Ultimately what pulled me out of that malaise was successful employment in a software company. It was only after I recovered a sense of self worth that I could finally step out of my cave."

I read a lot of employment success stories similar to yours! Which is great, good to hear you're feeling better.

It does go to show that for some people, jobs (by giving community and a sense of purpose) are still very important and will probably continue to be, which means interesting times ahead.
The point they forgot to address is that "healthiness" isn't a one dimensional attribute.

> If you're consuming smoothies which use the entire fruit/veggie that you'd normally eat, and you're not adding sweeteners, and you don't have any health issues that might be related to excess calories in your diet, then no need to attack the article, it's not addressing you.

Be aware that any public health organisation trying to get people to eat more fruit and vegetables will also tell people not to drink smoothies. So, this article is in fact aimed at people blending their fruit and veg.

(There's a discussion to be had about the evidence base, but that's true of most of the posts in this thread).

Here's the English version, but this is common across countries:

> A: Unsweetened 100% fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies can only ever count as a maximum of one portion of your 5 A Day.

> For example, if you have two glasses of fruit juice and a smoothie in one day, that still only counts as one portion.

> Your combined total of drinks from fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies should not be more than 150ml a day – which is a small glass.

> For example, if you have 150ml of orange juice and 150ml smoothie in one day, you'll have exceeded the recommendation by 150ml.

http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/5ADAY/Pages/Whatcounts.aspx

> Some portions only count once in a day:

> 150ml fruit juice, vegetable juice or smoothie. Limit the amount you drink to a combined total of 150ml a day. Crushing fruit and vegetables into juice and smoothies releases the sugars contained in the fruit and vegetables, which can cause damage to teeth.

Getting thousands of unprepared people on an island with a limited food supply, not enough lodging and inadequate security is very dangerous. These are the ideal conditions to cause panic.
