I think you're missing the point. The reason for functional programming isn't just that it looks pretty - immutable data makes state conflicts and shared data problems more explicit and forces you to handle them, function composition encourages designing small composable units that make coding faster as you go, that sort of thing. Functional programming tries to force you onto the more long-term-beneficial line on this famous graph: https://martinfowler.com/bliki/images/designStaminaGraph.gif

The ironic thing about the example you linked is that if you're trying to implement bubble sort and Haskell pushes you into quick sort, that's a good thing because bubble sort is objectively incorrect. The oldest excuse in the book for bad design is that one does not have time, and while it is often objectively true, it's also true that good design actually saves you time in the long run. Awful spaghetti code is the fastest code to write but in a year's time when it takes a month to get a 2-point story completed because of all the hacks and //TODOs and workarounds you'll wish you wrote it right the first time.
It is great fun to drive. It's quick, and it feels even quicker than it really is owing to the instant response (no downshifting required), and silent acceleration. The heavy raft of batteries on the bottom gives it a low center of gravity, so it doesn't lean back much when you punch it.

I also really enjoy the one-pedal-driving enabled by the "L" mode, which tells the car not to mimic an automatic, rather to use regenerative braking as aggressively as possible. I can drive all over town without touching the brakes.

I haven't driven a Leaf myself, but I know people who have, and they much prefer the Bolt EV.

I'll try to keep an eye on this thread if you have any specific questions.

> An upturned (perforated or not) baking sheet in an as-hot-as-it-can-go

Or a pizza stone if you have one (they're fairly inexpensive usually).

But a pizza stone is a single-tasker kitchen gadget (thanks Alton), where-as the baking sheet is a multi-tasker with more utility.

Both will do wonders for getting a more crispy crust!
Hi devj,
You're absolutely correct that an RDBMS would be an odd solution for a search index *

Anyway, on CTX I use PostgreSQL for storing things that deserve to be relational - job control, batching, users, accounts, billing, invitation codes...

All the indexed content is in an Elastic Search cluster (http://elastic.co if you're unfamiliar - it's a specialised search indexing data store built atop Apache Lucene)

* though actually PostgreSQL has a really good capability as a JSON store that means people do sometimes use it as a NoSQL solution
>It's why places like Planet Fitness are able to offer $10/month unlimited memberships

With a $40 annual membership fee, as well, though.

But yeah, they're making money off of me. I went nearly every day until I started full-time work. Now, it's just far more convenient to use my neighborhood gym during the morning, though the equipment is lacking. But I retain the membership on the chance that I might use Planet Fitness's facility instead, because it's only $10!
> It's clear, from video, that the President's response to this was weasely equivocation.

No, his response was terrific, good leadership, presidential, calm the violence.

Your conclusion "weasely equivocation" was JUST from newsie GOSSIP, JUST as I wrote.
It was just GOSSIP. You've been had.

Why? The newsies wanted Trump to accept their dictation of what should be in his speech. Then (1) Trump looks like an obedient puppy of the newsies, can't even write his own speech, and loses respect. The 90% Democrat newsies want that. (2) Trump attacks specific groups and people and, thus, starts fights and even incites violence against those groups. He divides the country more, raises tensions, and very likely gets more people killed. THEN the newsies get to blame Trump for that.

The newsies have you by the nose. You've been manipulated.

In his first speech, Trump did exactly the right things.

Then the newsies came with their game card that he didn't denounce specific groups, people, didn't denounce them fast enough, didn't denounce them strongly enough. To calm the violence, he should not be attacking specific groups and, thus, further dividing the country and giving some people more reason to be violent.

Trump was correct: The newsies will never be satisfied. Why? If people are satisfied, then the newsies lose headlines, eyeballs, and revenue. And the 90% Democrat newsies lose an opportunity to attack their enemy Trump.

Bluntly the newsies want violence, dead people, and then get headlines, blame Trump, etc.

You have been had by the newsies. It's dangerous.

You need to be a responsible citizen and quit letting the blood thirsty newsies lead you around by the nose and help them incite violence and get people killed.
Well, I'm sure we can all agree that the mathematical paper we're discussing could be formalized into a proof that could be checked in linear time.

Sounds good in theory. but I wonder how well it works for any SQL dialects. I write SQL in a dialect like T-SQL usually. The tool would probably not recognize the brackets or different join syntax.
Even Gates doesn't trust the government with his money. If he did he would render unto Caesar and have him build roads and fund foreign despots. Like the the rest of us.
That's an unbelievable 90s of audio - It's not even Shen not being able to formulate a response - he's literally choosing to be silent!!
I had no problem getting my work visa renewed for 9 years, but was never offered even a chance at permanent residency. In the USA, they would have forced the issue after 6.
So you're equating a response to violence of one group to another to a group that actively advocates reducing a whole swathe of humanity to sub-human status or to kill them outright. That's a bit of a stretch for me but if you are going to see these two as equal because they chose to resort to violence themselves then I can see your point. But that's an extremist pacifist position, the kind that says that if you are going to be attacked by someone that you should not defend yourself. As it is probably obvious by now I do not subscribe to that extreme level of pacifism, I recognize that there are times when violence can be justified.

That doesn't mean you should be happy about it, it should be a means of last resort and it should be practiced only when all other avenues have not born fruit.
Shops have to present goods in an attractive and easily accessible way. An Amazon pickup location can be dramatically more dense with products;in other words they can offer much more variety in the same footprint.

Also if Amazon become good at having the items ready, it becomes a very different experience than traditional shopping.
Criticizing the President or members of Congress is not treason.
Organizing and conducting peaceful protest is not only not treason, it is protected by the Constitution.

Thousands of sites were created and used from 2009-2017 to plan, organize and conduct protests against the President, were you as concerned then about such sites?
Are you aware of plugins using similar functionality or any experiments in that area?
The COMSOC Website
My previous team was distributed (SF, TX, NY) used Geekbot in slack for standups, 9:30am local time it would prompt you to enter what you did yesterday, what you'll be working today and any blockers.

Geekbot worked good when people put thought into their reports, which was far from always - a lot of the time it'd be "yesterday: wrote code. today: will write code. blockers: everything is awful" which isn't hugely helpful for team synchronisation. That said, it was a lot better than when we tried using hangouts. With Hangouts we kept running into issues like: not socially acceptable for video conferences at desks in the SF office, and the SF people being in a conference room felt a lot more distant than the remotes on their PCs.

Current team is also distributed (same timezones as previous), but we do a highly structured standup in video conference where everyone is on equal footing signed on a workstation (instead of half being in a conf room).
That doesn't seem to be entirely true.

According to PBS, "far-right extremists tend to be more active in committing homicides, yet Islamist extremists tend to be more deadly."

Are we comparing percentage of deaths or number of events?

Personally, I think both sides are fueled by religious beliefs. Their hate is cut from the same cloth.

If they can make those glasses cheap enough, it would be good marketing. The CueCat people didn't want to drag that around and scan things.
Good point. The point is not to prepare for the standup but be ready. WHat I mean is, in order for the standup to be efficient, engineers need to remember and be a little more organized in their thoughts for the benefit of others and making the standup more meaningful for the team.
Of course, they might have grounds to sue the leaker, but the fact that the police are interceding on the side of the broadcaster is what I find disturbing.
That sounds perfect - I had a feeling I read somewhere that they don't do it because TV companies were charging by the showing (and maintaining interest over a run would wane), rather than a split screening/# tickets basis as for films.
Doesn't gold's role as a store of value ultimately rest on it's underlying potential utility and it's material scarcity. Crypto currency is anything but scarce these days, certain brands of crypto may be more or less scarce, but gold is not separated from other elements by a brand name over-top of substantially similar functioning and composition.
Nice seeing you around! What you say makes a lot of sense.
Rabbi Abe Cooper talks about online hate
That's an interesting study you link to but I don't think it fits in this discussion. The underlying problem is not that boys like "boy" toys and girls like "girl" toys, it's how our culture defines which toys are which. Buying a sewing machine for a girl and a video game system for a boy is somehow "normal" but switch those around and it's at least a little weird (at least 20-30 years ago it was). Some sort of quota system for women in tech might actually have an effect on that (certainly not guaranteed to, though).
Every other major RDBMS has had this for years. The only people who have been missing this are Postgres users.

I buy pizza, but make mostly make my own. Try making your dough a day or two ahead of time and put it in the fridge until you need it. It will taste better, less yeasty as quick breads tend to be. It also means you can throw some together at whatever hour suits you and have it ready to go for another day. I've tried it with many dough recipes and they always turn out better.

You don't have to go to this extreme, but it gives you an idea: http://www.bakingsteel.com/blog/72-hour-pizza-dough
The other glaring issue with CPython is all the globals, meaning there can be only ONE Python VM running in a process space.

Selection bias. You found the lucky plants that managed to live. I had a friend try to grow shrooms, and despite managing the humidity, temperature and light exposure, disinfecting the container, and carefully controlling just about every aspect of the process he couldn't get shit to grow.

Likewise when I was strapped for cash in college I briefly considered growing a few cannabis plants and decided against it after it seemed to be a lot harder to grow anything sell-able than expected.
Being in the moment has a lot to do with getting enough sleep. Caffeine is generally bad for peoples sleep quality and quantity, but there is also a lot of variability in this.
It is the mythical man-month applied to charity. It takes time to get results, adding more money doesn't help.

Nobody wants that much cash in one lump sum, they want an anual income. If you give me my anual income (including benifits and supplies) and I can quit my current job to do charity work. If instead you were to give me a billion dollars, I can still quit my job to do charity work, but this time I'll be doing it from a very nice yacht or something else.

Money to charity is the same way: you are much better off funding a smaller amount over the years (as opposed to some other job they could do instead) than giving them money, either they waste the money - even prudant investing of money is a waste since it takes away time that could be used on the thing you want the charity to do.
This is pretty genius. Back at college, the regular USPS office looked like an Amazon branded post office. Almost all boxes had the distinct blue tape with the Amazon Prime logo. College students, though broke, love to impulse buy. Amazing move by Amazon.

The world and environment for a self driving tractor is so simple compared to any street in the world though. They can rely heavily on GPS for starters and the environment/fields are practically blank slates with no other vehicles to really contend with. It'd be surprising if they weren't ahead of the game considering all the advantages to navigating a wide open field with excellent GPS availability.

>What if women actually deserved 80% of the jobs, by skill and temperament? Then the 50% goal is way under reality.

You are not hiring "women" as a group. You are hiring an individual to feel in a role, gender should not be looked at, at all. I would prefer if google conducts all interview in written format without disclosing name, hiding gender, or where the voice is scrambled so that you can't make out the gender of the interviewee.

If you claim that you know that a group based on gender deserved certain representation (80%), you are the one discriminating based on gender. What's your opinion about representation of Samoans in Google ranks? What % should they get? You have no way to back up your 80% claim.

>I'd like to see passive processes produce an equitable result too.

This is the problem. I don't think it is achievable, or worthy, to seek equitable results. Results can vary based on many factors, picking one aspect of an individual, their gender, and then asking to make it equal across the group equal to that aspect of the individual, is only going to give advantage to certain individuals of that group, individuals who may not be as handicapped by the group identity as you think. E.g. does a multi-millionaire African American lawyer's son deserve a seat at Medical school based on his race? Do the individual women who qualify at Google really represent the disadvantaged representatives of groups based on "gender"? Is Dianne Green who heads Google Cloud part of this disadvantaged group?

Equity in access to opportunity is what I can definitely agree. Let's strive to make education needed to qualify for a job at Google available at fingertips of as many kids as we can across the entire globe.

>But in the mean time, the car is pulling to the left, so I steer slightly right to compensate.

The corporate america and its leaders with their fiefdoms already exercise high control over the fate of the individual employees to work there. What if you are wrong and you over correct the car and crash it?

Do not discriminate at all. Define job requirements for what makes a good candidate for the job and then hire for those skills and abilities, no matter what race, gender or religion.
I'm the original author. I tried to make clear this was lessons learned from my personal experience. I see here a few people claiming caffeine does not affect them at all.

Some of the other flatbreads/Naan breads available in many supermarkets work well also. I tend do thin/crispy crusts anyway so these plus a pizza stone work pretty well for me. Working with pizza dough was always the "step too far" for making my own pizza but now I find it's pretty straightforward.

Some days after intense working I leave the office spaced out, to the point I wouldn't drive. Thankfully I hop on the train.

I also find the whole prolonged screen exposure and posture just leaves me with a headache and neck ache.

I really notice how much better I feel after maybe 3 days off work..

Just like anything else, I've seen them done well, but also badly. My current stand-ups last probably 10 mins (never more than 15 mins). It generates questions and discussions that are carried out after the stand-up with a more focused group.

If you aim for "transparency" in your process and company culture, I think stand-ups are not intimidating and are not waste of time.
Sorry for the self advertisement, but I think that it fits really well.

As a team we use Hangouts for daily standups and it seems to work well for us. I work 40% remote and another team member is 100% remote. Screen sharing for Jira works, although we usually just do straight video.
I used MoviePass when it was a little younger and just a warning to any considering it, there are a lot of hidden restrictions. I know some things could have changed since a couple years ago when I was using it but you were unable to see new movies and some movies would be restricted for their entire theater run.

They also presented it as a monthly service that you could cancel when you were done, but it was actually an annual service that you paid for on a monthly basis and trying to leave before the year was up would cost you. A lot.

There was also some weird business about having to send new cards (they sent you a card you had to use in person at the theater to pay for your ticket) without warning and until you got the new one you were unable to use the service you were paying for. In addition to that, sometimes the cards would just not work. This happened to me on at least 3 occasions.

Also take into consideration, there are some movies you'll want to see in 3d (maybe) or IMAX (more likely) and these are completely excluded. And if you're like me and you like to buy tickets ahead of time with fandango so you can skip lines and be sure the movie you're going to see isn't sold out, using this service means giving up that convenience.

Granted, this is all a much better deal now that it's $10 instead of $30.
My main gripe is that it only has a single color temp setting. I use three with f.lux and it makes a huge difference. 5800K during the day, 3400K in the evening (between sunset and 11pm) and 1900K after 11pm, until an hour after sunrise.

My phone is jarring in the evening because it's way cooler than my display.
There has to be a reason to go to the theater, right?

Most of us have 60-70 inch TVs, comfy couches, free snacks, surround sound. If you can't at least MATCH what I have at home, why am I paying $20-$30 to drive to someplace to watch a movie?
That's not the question you asked. If you want to know more about the context of this specific paper then you need to (a) wait for the people in the area to start writing explanations, or (b) ask more specific questions about specific terms.

A good place to start to get a sense of what's going on with this specific paper is this thread, but more particularly, the articles linked from it. One that I think is a great starting point is this one:

https://johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com/2017/08/15/norbert-blum...

But you should perhaps start by asking the question you actually want the answer to - it sounds like you didn't. So take a moment, do some reading, then come back with particular questions. They may already be answered, but before you did the outside reading you didn't realise. That's what happens to me.

I can beat all but the really good "fast food"-style pizza (the kind people stop to pick up a stack of pies to take home on their way through town) with my lesser dough recipe (uses a bread machine) and mid-tier ingredients, with a 550F oven and a stone. Yeah, you can't get the char and crust consistency of an 800F+ oven, but you can get closer than you might think for 1/3 the price of a typical wood/coal oven place, and even corner-cutting time-saving approaches will (easily) produce better food than you'd get from all but the best fast food pizza places.

Don't discourage people from cooking their own pizza. Even without special equipment you can cook some yummy stuff in the $4-$7/pie price range.
