I read ebooks on my phone. While I could use page-like navigation, I find it more comfortable to just scroll down to keep the text I'm currently reading in roughly the same screen area. The only concept of a page that's left in that situation is the transition between chapters.
Here's a gif of water particle movement that's happening in an ocean wave (in deep water; it gets weirder if it's shallow).

http://funnel.sfsu.edu/courses/gm309/images/Owave.gif

Essentially, motion starts with wind. Energy propagates downwards into the water column resulting in the circular orbitals (you see this if you float in the (deep) ocean and you bob up and down in a circle but you don't really go anywhere). But at a certain point, no more energy propagates downward; so your submarine if its deep enough (tens of meters) will not feel a thing from what's happening on the surface.

This is also what the FLIP takes advantage of; the base of its deep spar hull lies so far below the surface that it has nothing forcing it to move up and down. This is why it's stable in big waves, and why I'm confused how a submarine is too unstable.
Reddit appears to only show images to posts about the image, not to a website. Most of reddit content are just posts to images and the discussion about the image, so IMHO that improves reddit's usability for their target audience.

HN is more about interesting content/discussion instead of posting memes and it is much harder to scan and determine interesting content from images than it is from titles. As a note: when HN has the same target audience as reddit is when i stop using HN.
I think it is still possible to have a 20 year "downturn" and the world doesn't deteriorate. Essentially a complete reversal of what caused growth in many different industries. I'll just go through a couple of industries.

Banking - Governments around the world decide to break up big banks. This allows for the return of small local co-ops that aren't listed on the stock market. Now the market is super competitive and so the big banks stock go into decline (the hypothetical value of the co-ops increase but you can't capitalize on that).

Mining - Recycling gets so advanced we no longer need to mine stuff. Mining industry is no a shadow of its former self. New industry isn't as valuable as before as the barrier to entry into recycling is much lower.

Healthcare - US government decides to take over the industry because a cultural shift. Industry collapses.

Now, we live in a world with no Wall St, environmentally stable, and everyone has access to healthcare. But the people who went into ETF's essentially have no money. Obviously, this world would require much reform (more taxes), but one that I don't think is entirely unobtainable.
"Playing the market" is the antithesis of what these firms claim to offer. They keep you on track for asset allocation and maybe the occasional tax loss harvesting. Nothing that couldn't be tracked via a simple spreadsheet and 15min in a brokerage account on whatever time scale people want to rebalance or tlh
I always thought this would have been a cool feature for MMO's. As you reach end game you start to have more interest in trying different archetypes without having to start new characters. If warriors started using healing spells they could slowly morph into paladins. Or use daggers and turn into rogues, etc...
I manage several GSuite accounts. The tech support staff is friendly and helpful, but if the problem is outside their list of known issues or current outages, they're basically useless. They aren't developers and they have no access to investigate underlying system data/logs, let alone resolve anything.

...and that's where the true problem with Google is. There's no mechanism to report/escalate a well-defined and reproducible technical bug - even as a technical sysadmin with a paid account. ...and if a data issue only impacts a small number of people, it'll never get fixed.

The GSuite forums are bombarded with usability questions, and real tech issues are given the old "let's see which FAQ I can post to get some karma" response.

Calling the help desk might get the issue escalated, but it's far far more time consuming than if I could just put a normal bug report together with a screenshot.
Exactly, this is pretty clearly aimed at beginner/intermediate programmers who haven't entirely figured out how to decide when to use List versus Set versus Map. It's probably obvious to the typical HN reader, but valuable for the target audience. Might not belong here, although the fact that it's currently at #3 on the front page suggests there's enough interest in it.

D&D didn't allow rerolls except for the "no stat above 13" and "total modifiers 0 or less" situations. If you complained to the DM (and/or bribed him) you might get another chance, but no one would sit there and wait for you to roll more than 2-3 times.

I no longer have time to dedicate to games like I did as a kid so cheats are a huge deal to me (single player only). They don't "ruin" the game for me at all. I only play games a few times a month but my steam library contains hundreds. So on that one random Saturday I've got the free time to dedicate to 5+ hours to gaming I want to get as far as possible in a couple of games. I've been playing the Witcher 3 seemingly forever.

I have a Ps4 and a few big games for it, Yakuza, etc and I've played them all once or twice because of the time investment required to get through the story. I WANT to enjoy the story. It's really unfortunate. I'd love to speed up my progress, instead I'm forced to watch Lets Plays of those games.
At the moment dbus-broker does not have code to take advantage of bus1, but we intend to explore adding bus1 support to dbus-broker, so that peers (if their libraries support it), would seamlessly communicate peer-to-peer (circumventing the broker) when possible.

The first time, no, and regretted it.

The second time, yes, and it was worth it. With 90% coverage, you'll save yourself and your team several days per month of click testing and bug fixes; and probably a whole bunch of production bugs.

That's for code that'll go into production, though.

Proof-of-concept code is different. If the code is doing something highly complex or quantitative calculations, I'll write unit tests to verify output for various inputs. It's just faster to develop that way. But no tests for generic CRUD code.
I noticed recently that there are conditional select vector instructions, so e.g. you can implement max(x,y) with an instruction instead of doing a CMP and JMP. When I tried it it was substantially faster than the CMP/JMP approach, like 20 times faster (on an Intel Skylake i7) even though the vector had only 4 values (4 * 64 bit double precision floats) - hence I was expecting 4x speedup at most.

I figured as far as the brnach predictor is concerned this is not a branch and therefore branch mispredictions are totally avoided.

not necessarily. pandering to a strongly held minority opinion might get more claps, or a steadier stream of claps over the long run.

That's roughly my plan.

The details are what get me. I need to buy index funds and usually you are advised to save as much as you can. I want the advice that shows me how little I can save. My kids are only going to be kids once and I'm not going to forgo taking them to Disney or work stupid hours so that I can live like a king when I'm old. My goal is to live as well as I can today while still being certain that I'm not going to be a burden on anybody when I'm 80.

Paying an expert for advice appeals to me just because I have no confidence that I'm not taking something important into account.

I took it more as "by the seat of your pants" (i.e., just write and organize later), vs. plotting a direction with an outline, etc. before beginning to write. Just a guess though.
The "smell" here is that the API does O(n) allocations for a read-only check of a database schema?

Why add an API to have a method that checks for containment directly (and hopefully delete the conatiner returning one entirely?)

Also, it probably makes sense to cache the schema data somewhere.

Finally, my gut tells me the check for the existence of this name probably can be moved earlier in execution (like during initialization of the called class), which will cause the system to fail earlier and be easier to debug (so it would be good to check that before touching it).
On Linux it may be that the various distributions decide to repackage Firefox with the default setting flipped. Not sure about the various policies on that one.

The ESR track presumably will have the default flipped because corporations get funny about data transfers to remote servers - mind you Microsoft seem to be getting away with it for business who don't have a full on Enterprise set up.
It can be dangerous. If you want to see something cool search for Ampelmann and Billy Pugh. I haven't been on an Ampelmann but I have transferred with the crane-lifted basket and it's really fun.

Yesterday I went around a sharp turn on a 4 lane highway only to come face to face with a box truck that had flipped on it's side moments earlier.

If you're investing for the long term then you won't even notice the impact of the recession by the time you take out your money (if you graph out your gains over time it'll look like a small bump).

If you wait, then you may wait several years for the recession to happen, several years during the recession and then several years because you're not sure if the market is recovering or if it'll drop back down again. So at the end of the day there's a good chance you'd be worse off than if you invested right away.
I totally agree with this... A unified vision is important in a project, that's not to say that there is a single correct way of writing something, but that for consistency and sanity each way should be unified.

The democracy exists through consumption by end users and layers in between... no internal conflicts, choice and democracy for the consumer, how is that a bad model.
That wouldn't work, you'd need to at least use bind() so that the `this` keyword within `this.checkStorage` references the right thing, e.g.

window.addEventListener('online', this.checkStorage.bind(this));
This needs another reply, I didn't answer your question about what the "path of least resistance" meant.

So if you are prices are rapidly climbing, the path of least resistance is up. If you buy, there are currently many other people buying, and that supports your long position. There isn't an abundance of people selling(otherwise the price would 1) stop or 2) fall), so the path of least resistance is not down.

There is something in new(and some old) traders mind, that causes them to sell into a rally, and buy into a crash. They think "this is the top/bottom! yea baby!". The probability of them being correct is very low, since being "correct" means you are accurately predicting the actions of thousands or more individual traders with no evidence. I say "no evidence" because if the everyone is buying, there is no evidence that selling is occurring beyond the short limit orders that buyers are consuming.

I'd guess you know the term "pullback". A pullback occurs when many people(or few people with large size) have the thought that "This is the top/bottom!" at the same time. When the pullback stops and the trend resumes, that's all of those people being wrong at the same time.
...just like AGI
I know some authors and some agents. No editors. But the authors and agents tell me that it's rare for editors actually to do what we usually call "editing." It's more about selection and promotion, a lot of the time. So I read this and was actually pleasantly surprised to see that an author got that kind of attention from a professional. An unpublished author would have gotten, most likely, a two-sentence rejection note.
>People bring up the "due for a bust" observation and they may be right

And it can be a self-fulfilling prophecy .. expect a bust, look for a bust, have a bust: declare you "knew" it was coming
I think this argument ignores other large factors in both of those cycles, namely demographics. Japan went into a demographic spiral with an aging workforce and not enough labor capacity to replace them. Decreased demand, as well as the factors you discuss, made outsourcing more appealing. The opposite is true post WWII. There was heavy investment in production infrastructure due to the war, but we're also looking at one of the few times in human history where labor was more in demand than capital. Add to this the rapid advance in technology which allowed goods -- and labor -- to spread more widely, or to even eliminate human labor, and you have a complicated soup of problems.

I don't think either the Keynesians or the Austrians can really claim a victory in those examples because external factors played a large role.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: this is not an SJW issue. It's just not a social justice issue. The CoC existed long before these concerns, and it's going to exist in the mainline fork no matter what happens in Ayo.js.

The issue is inconsistent standards. Committee members are held to a lower standard than occasional contributors. Some people don't like that inconsistency and are leaving that culture. That's fine, because Ayo and Node can still share patches. The issue is purely that people who work on Ayo won't have to deal with any of the committee members from Node who can't be bothered to abide by their own code of conduct.

I'm wrong about the jurors usually having a law degree. Maybe.
Apparently each jurisdiction has a committee that creates a short list every 4 years of people suited for jury duty. I can find no further info on what "Suited for jury duty" means, so the "has a law degree" thing might be untrue

Good code from a shitty person every time.
I think another way it could have been put: no one cared enough about bike riders to put in bike lanes until wealthier riders moved in.

Like, yeah, totally agree that bike lanes are an important part of any city's street planning. The more absurd thing is that there have been people riding bikes through the streets of SF for decades, and it wasn't until parts of the city began to gentrify, and bike shares became popular amongst the wealthier residents, that anyone cared enough to fix the problem.
IIRC Tales of Symphonia stats (mostly) acted like an old school FF game of just fixed stat increase per level.

There are comments about how communities were not consulted before installing these bikes.

I found it so refreshing to actually see something happen in SF. No endless community town hall meetings, pilot programs, bond measures, and political grandstanding. Instead a bunch of cheap and publicly accessible bikes appeared overnight.

No of course the program is not perfect, but if the city had asked every single person if they were OK with it we would have ended up with nothing.
Steve Keen suggests that automatic government spending increases in the form of unemployment benefits (and similar) have been a major economic buffer in many countries.
Not in the 60s, as far as I'm aware. Same principles but widespread use of spars and semi-subs came later.
I HATE level scaling in games. Enemy level scaling in Oblivion and Skyrim made it pointless to fight things, item scaling in The Witcher 3 made every item drop dull and boring. Instead of meeting a new monster and thinking "ok, shit, how do I beat this?" and then going on to figure out a strategy, or instead of finding an awesome new weapon and thinking "wow! amazing!", every new thing barely even registered because it wasn't exciting.

This was extra irritating in The Witcher 3 where you receive swords as quest rewards and the characters comment on how its this amazing magical sword renowned for its history or whatever and I check the stats only to see that it is either 1) only marginally better than what I already have or, more usually, 2) not even as good as the weapon I already have.

On the other hand, in Gothic 3, I could walk off the main road and find end game monsters that could (and did) kill me in a single strike. Figuring out how to beat them while still low level was a ton of exciting fun. Hell, its the exact reason I play games like Dark Souls.
You can't use compiler-macros to build cross-platform higher order abstractions, so I don't get why they come up. They're exactly as useful as any indirection facility.

So why are they relevant here?

Not that I like Python, mind you. I miss CL, but I wouldn't go back to it. My experience is that way too many of these beloved libraries have an audience of 1 or 2, sometimes a single company. If I'm going to engage with an environment like that, I'd rather do so to access the leading edge of research and compilation results like w/ Haskell. Even Racket is more desirable than CL on this scale.

EDIT: I just wanna repeat I loathe python and carry no water for that standing wave of bad design decisions. Really. Seriously. Worst.
That's true, but mob (majority) rule is also scary:

Just because lots of people laughed doesn't mean they're correct. Could just mean they were uncomfortable.

The surface contact of perfect cylinder (a regular car tire), and a perfect sphere (the iTire) is the same: 0 cm^2.

From that fact, you are saying that "obviously" the deformation of a cylinder (with some diameter/width ratio) filled with gaz at a certain pressure against a flat surface will lead to a higher surface than a sphere with the same pressure?

It's not obvious at all. Give me math+physics proof or GTFO.
It's depressing that you point to the animosity of communities that have been traditionally on the sour end of many transit projects and claim their reaction is irrational.

Humans are, by and large, inherently irrational. That fact isn't depressing. It's simply true.
Those bikes cost money to rent, though. The Bay Area Bike Share costs $3 for a 30 minute rental. That's expensive compared to the Muni. The annual pass is a $124 fee. That's a steep one time fee for someone who's barely making ends meet.

These folks who bike generally aren't renting bike shares. They're scavenging cheap used kids' bikes off Craigslist.

Not really. You take the potential energy stored in the airplane and use it to transit to the airport. On my (gasoline) airplane, I fly most of the descent under significant positive thrust/power (150+ HP worth of positive power, often over 200 HP).

The only time I could see wanting net regenerative power is on very short final (the last 50 feet of descent) or for braking on the runway (especially on contaminated runways). But neither of those will be effective for regen/extending range.
