Yep and places like BWW completely changed their menu structure for the worse. These places sunk themselves.
The article hints at this but I think the rise of fast-casual is more responsible. Why pay 20% more just to have someone bring your food to you? The value just isn't there to justify it.
> "if we knew more, we could have prevented this." Is that the right philosophy?

No. This philosophy is essentially saying that in order to make it easier to find all the needles in the haystack, we need to add more hay.

It's a ridiculous notion if you actually stop and think about it.
I know a few people who do this, too. They're almost invariably awful about it and completely convinced they're on the "right track" over people actually writing code, too..

Tesla appears to be working on improving the speed of repairs: https://electrek.co/2017/03/10/tesla-body-shops-network/

I understand that quality control, including fit and finish, has been steadily improving.

An electric car such as the Model S has some intrinsic advantages over ICE cars in reliability in that the drive system is small and relatively uncomplicated. I think there is likely some bias in the perception of Tesla's reliability in that there is a great deal of attention on the company so problems, no matter how small, are more likely to be reported and commented upon than with more established car makers.

There are a few specific examples that I'm aware of. For example the Model S pop-out door handle was redesigned and has been steadily replaced, and the Model X doors had no end of problems until they apparently sorted them out.
Also these places aren't good at the things they (sometimes) claim to specialize in. The wings at Buffalo Wild Wings are not better than the wings at a random bar.

Maybe millenials care about these things because we want value for our money and don't want to spend it solely on the basis of Super Bowl advertisements?
Typically funds for new or renovated facilities come from donors/boosters.
Carcassonne can be surprisingly tense in 1v1 and expands nicely to accommodate as many players as you like. There are very, very, very few games that achieve this.

If you two like Chess but want something a bit more zany and light, I recommend The Duke. You each start out with nothing but a "king" (duke) and he has the power to let you draw random pieces out of the bag, and each piece has unique movements. Actually, two sets of unique movements, you flip the piece over after it moves.

The cool part? The pieces are self-documenting: they're flat tiles with their moves printed right on them.

The problem with having 2 representations of the same piece of information is maintaining them in sync.

If we use text for specific and visual for abstraction, we still need to maintain both and there are no effective tools to do that without creating additional work.

So you're proposing regulation of the higher education market? Not a good idea at all, my friend.

Look, public universities in other advanced economies like Japan, Germany, and France probably spend just as much as a typical US state university, yet tuition is basically free. We can argue about how to improve education all day, but let's fund it first so our students don't have to worry about their debts for years. How do we fund it? Higher taxes.
"I got mine..."
You mentioned the determinism tradeoff, which is one the gamedev community talks about endlessly. I'm no low-level expert, but my understanding is that determinism isn't all you lose.

My understanding is that the big tradeoff is against RAM usage. You can have relatively-low-RAM-usage JVM programs, and you can have fast JVM programs, but you usually cannot have both. Keeping the total cost of GC low is done by amortizing the cost over more run-time, which means running less GC often, which means accumulating more garbage between runs. I mean, compared to the insanity that is an Electron app or something, it's no big deal, but this means that the pre-Rust tradeoff is something like "Memory safety, small memory footprint, fast running time: choose two". (I want to emphasize that I'm repeating hearsay, not reporting from my own knowledge.)

Also, it's probably a minor point, but JVM startup time is terrible compared to a native binary. Many many programs don't care about this, but some do.

Code size (not counting the JVM) might well be improved, but if this is the only JVM code on this machine and you need to pay that cost, that's a tradeoff too.
The entire article misses the point.

All of the chains like Buffalo Wild Wings and Applebee's serve absolutely horrible food, with horrible service, with no redeeming qualities anywhere in the experience.

And then do so at an abusively high price.

Fuck them, and they deserve to go under.
It's much harder to cater for in food preparation, you would basically need a separate cook and kitchen to be able to call anything "gluten-free." Some places skirt around this by saying the ingredients are gluten-free, but I'm sure the internet is full of people saying they got sick eating those.
AMD GPU Supply Exhausted by Crypto Miners, AIBs Now Directly Advertising to Them
tooling tends to suck, input ends up being slower once you know how to do it. (Argument to be made that visual is faster on a tablet with no keyboard. Okay).

You still have to type to name things.

Density of stuff on the screen is lower.

Not sure about readability (you can find readability advantages for any format if you ask the right person). I would bet math expressions with many terms are clearer in a visual format like tex.

Visual elides the connection between functions and files/modules, potentially making it hard to scale projects.
To be more precise I think blue collar culture is pointing out conceit and arrogance when it refers to a class of people in an "ivory tower" – they're just pointing out a perceived hypocrisy/hubris.

They're leveled towards my field and profession all the time and I see some truth in a lot of it; and then you get shows like Silicon Valley to top it off!

It's good to be the king and all, but let's be honest about how it's really coming off. :)
Seriously. Top schools have dedicated teaching profs for all their main undergrad classes and they treat them like gold. This load up on adjuncts and grad students to teach the undergrads shenanigans will not last.
This was an active area of study in the 80s, with many journal publications. The goal was to make programming intuitive.

Then one day someone published an article explaining that we need words to represent variables, doing it visually runs out of abstractions too quickly to do anything useful.

There were no journal publications after.

It's been about 14 years since I last looked at these publications and my memory is foggy. The point is that any useful program is too complicated to represent with pictures.
> If you can't make a convincing case that you're in that top category of engineer, then what has working for Google earned you these past few years?

So are you suggesting that the 95% of people who are not to engineers are just waiting their time?
Simple solution -- if Tesla thinks this is price gouging, why not get into the insurance business. If they can go to mars, they should be able to underwrite the cost of replacing Tesla body panels, haha.
There is even a reasonable argument to be made that self driving cards will increase traffic and deadlock.

For example, imagine driving in to the city for some business meeting and then rather than worry about the hassle of finding a parking spot you just let the car drive about by itself for a couple of hours. Now multiply that by however many hundred (or thousand) people have the same idea.
I believe the main thing Electrolysis does is split the UI and rendering into separate processes. It also creates separate processes for some other tasks. But as far as I know it doesn't give each tab a separate process.
The other thing the article ignores is that chains like Applebees have been getting worse over time. My family used to go to the local Applebees all the time in the late 1990s. In 2000, they had a major menu change. The food became much worse, and we stopped going there.
Embiggens? I think the point of the word is to debigulate some sentences. I would say that it embetters phrases that include it; maybe that's what you meant.

> The medical profession has refused to consider the possibility that gluten causes problems other than celiac disease.

Once the evidence rises above self-reported gluten sensitivity or self-reported improvement on a gluten-free diet, the medical community will consider that possibility. Until then, the plural of "anecdote" is not "data".
Even if you do not care about the complete loss of privacy, are you not wary about the methods for accessing the backdoors leaking to criminals and antagonist governments? Which has already happened, see Vault 7 and numerous other leaks.

Assume It Worked and Fix Later: How to Make Your App Faster and More Reliable
I guess it all depends how much they invest in scaling that part of the business. It's a bit of an optimization problem to figure out the "right" formula to grow the business.

I can already feel the pinch at the supercharger stations. It's ridiculous to have to wait for a spot to open. I wish the charging stations were designed with 2 "pumps", so you can plug in next to someone, even if no current flows to your car, and you get energized as soon as the other guy leaves.
Also, with a double feeder, it's easier for one party to share the input power with someone else: sometimes I don't want the charge to go too fast (when I'm at a restaurant inside a mall for example, and have to rush out in the middle of the main course to free up the space). I wish I could simply say: "ok, let my ETA be 1:45pm" and have the system dial everything such that another car can charge while preserving my ETA.
>What if Waymo implements a critical safety feature and patents the software/algorithm?

Maybe I'm naive, but is this really different than today? Let's say Volvo implements some new kind of crumple-zone tech that drastically reduces fatalities in head on collisions, and patents the tech. Is this a big ethical problem?

I think the distinction here is that failure conditions in current vehicles are almost entirely human caused, so that new safety tech only matters after a human has already made a mistake. With autonomous cars, humans aren't making mistakes anymore, software is.

So essentially, we're looking at transitioning from protecting people from themselves, to protecting people from the machines. Which is something we FEEEL very differently about, even if the big picture isn't all that different. I mean, it's certainly something that changes the dynamics of liability, that just a matter of of who's paying the insurance bill.
I've looked at literally hundreds of Redux-related libraries and addons (and listed anything that looks decently useful in my Redux addons catalog [0] ). As part of that, I've seen dozens and and dozens of libraries that promised to "reduce Redux boilerplate" - usually functions for generating reducers based on lookup tables rather than switch statements, but also other approaches as well.

redux-tiles adds a bit more abstraction that I personally like, but it does look useful and appears to maintain the overall spirit of Redux (as opposed to many other "wrappers" that wind up trying to add OOP/class layers on top, or obscure the fact that there's actions, reducers, and dispatching going on, per some of the examples I listed in my blog post "The Tao of Redux, Part 2 - Practice and Philosophy [1]).

I don't think I'd use this myself, but it seems like a reasonable approach to "reducing boilerplate" overall. As always, it's up to you the Redux user to decide how much abstraction you are comfortable with and want to use in your own application.

Thanks to the author for putting this together and posting it.

I can't understand what you are talking about. I am in Canada, sending EUR to my brother in Austria. With Transferwise this takes as much as entering the amount, my ebank username and password and it's done.

With bitcoin, hell, I dunno. https://www.quadrigacx.com/account-funding-withdrawal this wants me to do a bank wire to avoid fees which I can't do online, it's one of my major complaints how the simple transfers in Europe are missing in Canada but I digress. If I use interac online, ding, 1.5%. Then I get bitcoins which I need to store securely, send them and it seems https://cex.io/fee-schedule#/tab/trade there are fee schedules expressed in a language I sure never heard of and then my brother also needs to find an exchange to get EUR out of. Seems hell of a bother to me to save a little money. I am not sending 10K, good for you if you do, I am sending 1000 EUR a time or so, we are talking of saving a few EUR. No way.

Buffalo Wild Wings is awful. I can barely have a conversation with anyone because everyone's attention is constantly being grabbed by 50 big screen tvs blaring sound and loud music. Not to mention the food is not good and the tables are always sticky.

I also wonder if there is evidence that millenials are more health conscious and see these places as unhealthy?
Pretty sure they're solving very different problems. redux-saga is about managing side effects using generators, particularly in response to dispatched actions. redux-tiles is largely about abstracting the logic for creating and dispatching actions and applying nested updates in reducers.
Why the downvote???
"Hundreds of millions" is a preposterous number, and I completely stand by that assesment. You're wrong by at least an order of magnitude, or perhaps several orders of magnitude.

The entire US headphone business was $2.2B in 2015[1]. Assuming 100% of those headphones were the cheapest Beats headphones ($100), the maximum number of Beats sold per year would be 20M. To sell "hundreds of millions" of headphones in the US, Beats would need 100% of the market for 10 years.

Even if you add 700M more consumers around the world, selling 200M+ $160 headphones to them is unrealistic. Apple is unlikely to do it, given the poor sales of AirPods so far[2].

In the US, an 18 year old kid fresh out of high school is going to get about $8 an hour. You also won't likely be able to find full time employment right off.

After taxes, you'd be lucky if you took home $40k in 4 years. Considering that virtual no 18 year old is saving their wages, you'd likely just work 4 years with almost nothing to show for it.

On top of that, parents and other family are more likely to help out a kid who's in college vs one who is working.

That's not to say there aren't many viable alternatives to college like trade schools and apprenticeships. Electricians, plumbers and elevator technicians make decent money.

Also were are you gettting $45k? Everything I can find says average income in the Netherlands is about $30k.
That states an intuitive statistical fact about spacial unevenness of economics but it does not necessarily correspond to a reasoning why you should add it as a variable.

Based on the abstract of this paper, we don't know whether adding a variable will decrease or increase the bias: http://www.sas.rochester.edu/psc/clarke/405/Omit.pdf
> Not a good idea at all, my friend.

Do you have any justification for this? Or should this just be accepted because you said it's not a good idea?

I don't see an argument anywhere in your post saying why not. Other than as a general rule you are against taxes. Does that mean we should eliminate the fire dept and police dept as well because they're funded by taxes? Or is it only services that already exist are grandfathered in and new services shouldn't be created?
What other systems did they build similar to the PALM?
I remember as a young kid buying a quite large (~3ftx4ftx3ft) IBM minicomputer that was just filled with those modules at a local thrift shop during the late 80s.

No keyboard or screen, although I seem to remember it had an 8in floppy drive.
Its been so long I can hardly remember it, but I distinctly remember those cards with the square metal cans, many of them socketed. It had a really nice set of schematics and service manual inside the case also.

edit: After some google digging, it must have been something like a 3274 terminal controller.
If public higher ed. has its capacity and/or quality cut, wouldn't that increase the demand for private education?
My whole life adults around me (school teachers included) kept telling me I was a genius, that I should go to college, and then I would become rich.

When I turned 18, I asked people around me to let me study on my own for a year, before I joined a college.

Got a big flat no. People told me to just choose a private college if needed, but that I should go to one no matter what.

I am now 29, unemployed, still in debt.

College didn't even taught me calculus 1, I am learning that on Coursera.

I've yet to see someone convince me that going to college was good idea, it caused lots of problems (including health ones, when I joined college I weighted 85kg, I left college weighting 125kg and horribly sick), gave me no solutions.
Within the last 5 years, BWW removed honey mustard from the selection of sauces available for wings, and they replaced it with "bourbon honey mustard," which absolutely tastes like ass. Whenever that was, that's when they lost this millennial's business. I complained to my server but they said the decision came down from corporate and there was nothing they could do.
Millennials are not making as much as other generations, and at the same time they are spending outside their means. They spend money on travels, eating out at hipster places, bars and electronics such as upgrading their iphone every year. Chains like Buffalo are not exciting, they cater to Moms and Dads because they are not organic, fusion or Instagramable.
The medical profession refuses to consider things that have no evidence supporting them, which is why they aren't pointing the blame at GMO's. Yes, our corn is different. The change is partially responsible for millions of people being alive.
The issue is that diversity shouldn't be a goal. If you want more diverse speakers, then the only proper thing to do is let the conf continue, and then you'll start creating more people who have the knowledge to give talks, and you'll build a better divers background that way.

There's no reason to require diversity for a conference talk.
It's just not a fair comparison. No reason to get in a tiff.
Your phone number is anonymous. In the US, you can go to a store, buy a $40 prepaid phone with cash, and use Google anonymously.
You're thinking of college by looking at the average. College doesn't work like that. It never did. You'll always find a "Jim" that went to college and did fantastically well for it. Elitism works like the lottery, or the Netflix prize, or the Olympics. When the aggregate resource spent is averaged out per head, it's never worth it. But for the winners it is always worth it.

Assuming the number of private schools that students want to go is in no way supply limited, which is an incorrect assumption.

How long does it take to build and staff a private school? How long to get it into US News top 500?

Even something like increasing the number of students admitted to existing private schools is tricky because they are tracked on their admission percentage.
As a curiosity, and I say this as someone who has a significant C background, what would you call a similar concept in C? I know that it happens (having been burned by missing symbol errors due to incorrect link ordering), but I don't actually know what it's called.
Say my profit margin is 5%. I could pay my employee an extra dollar, but that dollar has to come back to me 20 times for the pay raise to have been worth it. Is that really going to happen?
Sure the food and service are horrible, but on the other hand, the tables are sticky and the floor is filthy with scraps of food.
Because each method has its pros and cons. It's a difference of generality and specificity.

Consider this list as a ranking: 0 and 1 >> alphabet >> Chinese >> picture.

All 4 methods can be useful in some cases. Chinese has tens of thousands of characters, some people consider the language close to pictures, but real pictures have more than that （infinite variants).

Chinese is harder to parse than alphabet, and picture is harder than Chinese. (Imagine a compiler than can understand arbitrary picture!)

I guess if your where clause is very selective, you could avoid the hit since the same branch is taken by all threads in a warp. But then there are better approaches such as BRIN indexes, RLE and dictionary encoding with which you don't even touch the data that doesn't match your clause.
It runs in a sandboxed virtual machine, the EVM.

There is still the issue of the halting problem. But programs that would run infinitely have a finite amount of gas, and will eventually stop executing. Even if you staged an attack using a large sum of ether to fund a large amount of gas, the EVM still has a hard limit on the number of computational steps per block.

There is also still the issue of a developer writing a buggy contract (see the DAO exploit). But static analyzers and automated proofs can help address this in the future.
Wait, the tables are sticky even AFTER they're wiped down with that filthy damp rag??
That's a great story - you obviously have a natural talent for coding. But it's still difficult to assess the counterfactual: Perhaps if you had gone to college you would now be earning $250k with bonuses at Google?
It is unproductive. You waste time managing a 2D representation for little benefit. It's hard to do meaningful diffs and merging needed for revision control.

You can program FPGAs in 2D with schematic entry. It is a huge time sink for anything non-trivial which is why few bother with it these days.
