The body "wearing down" is not a thing. You're talking about repetitive stress injuries. The body is built to work as long as you need it to, and replenish itself daily.

Meh, their collective decision is to follow Putin's orders. Gosduma's sessions are streamed online but they still don't give a fuck and play games on smartphones, read newspapers, chat and even don't show up at all so others have to vote for them[1]. No wonder most those draconian laws are passed with 90%+ approval.

They might as well re-phrase the question to "Who wants to go the prison?" :)
Or... You could use Typescript :) . I'm a fan of C# language design and Typescript was designed by the same guy (and Delphi).

If you like C# you should try it, to me its truly magical.

To get the full experience make sure you turn on every strict option in the compiler then almost every option in TsLint. Without them it will still allow you to write a lot of hacky stuff.

I recently setup a project this way to get a group of old-school webforms programmers into front end JS development. It provides a great set of "training wheels". The framework situation still sucks but it makes the coding part painless.

What does this typescript+linting setup prevent? Bad casts, unsafe uses of "this", using var, non-boolean values in conditional statements, conditionals that always return true/false, old "for-in" loops, missed checks for null and undefined. The list goes on.

Things directly related to your post: no unsafe closures, full lambda support with polyfill, access modifiers. It's also extremely good at type inference, much better than C# or any other languages I've used. For example, you never need to specify a return type because Typescript can always infer it based on your return statements.

The thing with Typescript is that it's a superset of JavaScript. You don't lose anything you like but you get a lot of things you probably enjoy in C#. And it's designed to compile down to idiomatic JavaScript. If you decide "no more typescript" some day, you compile one more time to ES6 and it's gone.

Sorry to be so rabid about it but I'm largely a C# programmer too and Typescript made context switching between the two effortless. The design similarities to C# are unmistakable

> Can't we have a stupidly simple system

No, because what you're describing isn't stupidly simple, but incredibly complex. Even just the 'call the police' bit - How? Which police? How do you communicate with them? What language do you use? How do you convey the problem? How do you detect and respond to emergency numbers that prefilter (where I am, call emergency and a human asks you for police/fire/ambulance, and then puts you through)? Do you use the standard voice channel, or an API? If API, whose API? What about areas that don't have an API (or much of a tech stack)? If voice, how do you make it not sound like a prank call? How do you provide extra data if the dispatcher needs more? Do you use a radio band instead? If so, which one? How do you ensure you're not spamming the channel? What if the police in the area don't work off GPS co-ordinates? I'm sure there are plenty more issues with just this part of the hypothetical system, but these are the ones off the top of my head.

Besides, while it sounds nasty, 30 deaths/year is but a drop in the bucket compared to other transport-related deaths. The amount of effort required to make a robust, reliable system to prevent those 30 deaths would be much more effective when applied to other transport problems resulting in death.
At what age can one really understand the downside of their body of queries, sites visited, videos viewed, facial images (often geocoded) etc. being stored, analyzed, and profiled with the goal of productizing them?

It's a bell that can't be unrung, and it's at least as invasive and pervasive as what Orwell envisioned... but most participate voluntarily.
The key insight is that you are unlikely to be experiencing the thing at a special time in its life. This is the Copernican principle (which J. Richard Gott uses in his version of this that Wikipedia mentions), which was basically "we (on Earth) are unlikely to occupy a special place in the solar system -- it's much more likely that some other object is the center."

Gott says you can be 95% confident that you're experiencing the thing in the middle 95% of its life. Let's say x is its life so far. If x is 2.5% of its eventual life (one extreme of the middle 95%), then the thing still has 39x to go. If you're at 97.5% (the other extreme), then the thing only has x/39 left. So the 95% confidence interval is between x/39 and 39x

Of course, 5% of the time you actually are experiencing something at the very beginning or very end of its life (outside the middle 95%), which is a unique thing. But that's why it's a confidence interval < 100% :)

I prefer this form of the principle a lot more than "the expected life is equal to 2X, always."

Side note: I took J. Richard Gott's class in college called The Universe. Maybe not the best use of a credit in hindsight, but we studied some really interesting things like this.
When I read this, I can't help but think of the enormous promises that came with the computerization of medical records versus the reality that we have today.

There are many subtle cues I pick up from a tutee in person which are either not conveyed, or are really hard to pick up, when the person is on the other side of a screen. Probably mitigated by larger and higher-fidelity telepresence rooms, admittedly, which might have been where you were going with this.

I don't recommend this anymore. With a typical developer machine containing 16GB of RAM, and especially on Linux, you will that all of your daily-touched files are in FS cache after a few minutes of work. Even with default kernel settings Linux is pretty good with eating up all of your unused RAM for speeding up disk access.

Here's my anecdote based on 16GB workstation with NVMe SSD (Samsung 960 Pro):

Watching my project compile I occasionally open iotop in another terminal and don't see anything above occasional write flushes. To confirm, I did create a tmpfs volume and did not observe any improvement. `free` reported my buffers to be at ~4.7GB, which is basically all of my /bin, /usr and all of Golang sources+libs.

I don't see a distinction with punch cards, as punch cards were just an added step between keyboard and input device. You still used a keyboard to input, although more slowly and with a more limited character set.

When you're a kid and you play football (soccer) or basketball all day long with your buddies on a hard pitch you learn how to run correctly, don't know if that happens by instinct or because the terrain forces you do to so.

From experience there's a massive difference in the quality of light from a cheap LED bulb to an expensive one which I don't think is something that the bulk of consumers are aware of yet.

Worth mentioning the UK has blocked access to all major torrent websites and it is very effective on all ISPs.

It was implemented in a matter of months and has improved over time from a simple DNS redirect to now blocking IP ranges and DPI.

Internet Censorship and ISP wide blocking to us westerners is a new thing and I think people here are speaking during a time where we have it pretty good.

There is no ISP proactive battle against VPNs. Yes, you may be able to get through your companies firewall but is that the same? VPN use in China is difficult and becoming more so.

UK ISPs are now logging DNS requests from order of the government. In the beginning the ISPs complained and said it was technologically difficult. I wouldn't be surprised if that was just a call to access some gov funds and hey presto both parties win.
Letting public space rot like that is a deeply regressive policy.

You and I have access to private-sector alternatives. The working-class kid who wants a quiet place to do his homework, the guy on the edge of homeless desperately applying for jobs on the public computer, someone depending on the librarian to help them navigate the welfare bureaucracy... they don't.

You may not realize it, but a great many people on the low end of the socioeconomic ladder depend on libraries as quiet sanctuaries and as a window of access to the modern, networked, intellectual world. Shouted obscenities and excrement vapor in the air ruin it for them too.

You're right, we should be deeply concerned by such dramatic scenes of intense suffering and inhumanity. But if you're even slightly concerned, the last thing you want to do is let the environment deteriorate and fester undisturbed. The guy who might consider defecating on the floor deserves a peaceful and pleasant library, too. He's not going to get it if we let such things become normal there. The characteristics of the spaces we inhabit shape our moods and behaviors, and a library which could be mistaken for a skid row alleyway serves no one.

I find it interresting that no one questions the "we are born to run" claim. I have seen very little evidence for that. We are able to run, but that does not mean that running is a good way for us to move in general.

Having reached 50+ my estimate is that only 1 in 20 of the people i have known and who has been running still do. Perhaps even less.

You simply get too many injuries. Your cortisol levels rise. You destroy your joints etc. etc.

I also find it very hard to imagine that running would have been better for some imaginable forefathers who had to run barefoot in nature with no roads.
Most of my led lighting is dimmable, and takes noticeable time to go dark after I flip the switch to off. The ones that actually have dimmer switches installed also take noticeable time to come on when set as dim as possible. I seriously doubt that those bulbs have flicker problems.
When I pay to have something repaired, that's a job I couldn't do myself, or at least it would inefficient for me to learn.

Paying to have my home cleaned feels uncomfortable because it's something I could do myself, so it makes it very obvious that my time is being valued more by society than the cleaner's.

That's funny to say. I had a Subaru Outback (2004) that I paid $2000, and it was clean and strong, worked perfectly until I left US.

If you take Lyft or Uber to get around, you'll spend $2000 in max. 3 months. May be it'll get cheaper in the future, and may be some people will prefer within the city, but it's still not a better option than good quality public transportation.

I'm really looking forward to the day when all these new-to-Elm people start hitting the complexity ceiling of their language and convince the maintainers to add just a little more power. Example: Haskell's typeclasses have a high power-to-weight ratio, and Elm has to work around their absence (e.g., writing a fresh map function for each data type). Once there's a critical mass of frontend types who understand the power of FP, convincing people to try FP won't be the difficult step any more, and Elm won't need to try so hard to be un-intimidating.
On the Dearth of Galilean Analogs in Kepler and the Exomoon Candidate Kepler-1625b
I've had this problem and decided to test the problem away. Used a Vishay visible spectrum phototransistor and my scope. Think it was a BPV11 transistor.

Philips bulbs are 100% clean. Poundland ones are not. Cheap no brand ones from Amazon are not. The latter two have a 100Hz output.

I suspect the hatred for LED bulbs stems from the cheap ones which use the lowest cost solution to get mains voltage into a constant current which is usually a capacitive dropper and rectifier with an inadequate smoothing cap.

Really as always with these things, buy the best you can.

Also the cheaper ones seem to have a blue/white tone whereas the expensive ones have a yellow/white tone and are warmer. This helps the eyes.

Afraid I may have missed the window on the chance to provide feedback to jph00 via this channel, but here goes.

Am watching Part 1 now and only two sessions in, but there are some tweaks I would love to see. First the positive: I really appreciate the approach of hands-on and teaching theory only as it's needed and in conjunction with applied work.

Would love to see a tiny bit of time spent on setting up tools for people who already have good Nvidia GPU systems. My Ubuntu system has python (2.7) and python 3.5 both installed, but no Anaconda... I don't know if I'm going to totally screw up my system if I install Anaconda over those working existing python installations, for example.

It would be great to hear the questions. I can barely hear a faint voice in the background as Rachel reads the questions (presumably from online) but it seems like it would be a very easy tweak to have her closer to a microphone. Maybe this happens in later sessions and I just haven't gotten to them yet.

It would be great if so many things weren't abbreviated in the code variable and function names. Examples: nb for notebook, t for ?, a for array(?), U, s, and Vh for ?, ims (?), interp (interpretation or interpreter or interpolation?), sp, v, r, f, k, trn (train or turn or something else?), pred (predicate or prediction?), vec_numba (?)... the list goes on. Yes if I knew the field these might be obvious but for some of them I'm still learning. "np" I understand since that's standard practice and you explained it. It would be really really easy to just spell out words in the code, as well as being a good practice in general imho, and, since you are trying to teach stuff, it would seem appropriate.

Those nitpicks aside I'm really stoked about the course and really appreciate everything you have been putting into it!
Not into Elm at all right now and also kind of not convinced about functional programming, yet. But the article was definitely worth a read. I need to slowly open up for FP, I guess.
Free markets rely on a system of laws and regulation that prevent the use of force or fraud, and provide enforcement of contracts. That function is provided by government.
