Hello! Good question. There are no stencil events, we just use the custom events api that is built into the browser. Therefore, you can use addEventListener.

The difference is the right wing talk radio shows are on commercial radio. Any show on NPR has an enormous advantage, because they're not packed with advertisements that tempt people to flip to another station. So the host can't really have a relaxed, in depth conversation with anybody.

The few left wing commercial radio shows out there are no different from their ideological counterparts.
MetaLib – A Chrestomathy of DSL Implementations
I would argue that intuition is an evolutionary construct that is not actually intuited but is an aggregation of many small pieces of data which biases your expectation of an outcome.

I'm having trouble coming up with an example of a kind of pure intuitive experience that I've had along the lines of what I think you're talking about. If you can give a good example of what you're talking about, I think that would be helpful.

I say all of this as a former atheist who has recently converted to some form of theism that I haven't quite figured out yet.
Well, what to do with deep work is up to you. I wouldn't expect it to be an instruction manual for anything but "Here is how you build your mind and work habits to be able to accomplish deep work."

Haxl is modern. Ponylang's concurrency is modern. Rust's concurrency is modern.

lparallel and fset's affordances are not. I'm not sure why a single threaded regular expression compiler is mentioned here.

I'd have to check. Is fset even using the current standard (not the newest stuff) for immutable-friendly data structures? Last time I checked they had used a lot of older stuff from Okasaki's work and much of that has been improved upon substantially now.

Even Clojure is out of date, compared to this year's innovations!

That's why you have an instructor.

Just as a decent driving instructor won't let you blow a red light, a decent flight instructor (who has the ability to take control of the aircraft, unlike a driving instructor) isn't going to let you enter an unplanned stall, or leave you on your own to deal with more than you're ready to handle at any given time.

> To anchor bike lanes to groups of people like techies and hipsters is absurd.

Completely agree. The phrase "this is why we can't have nice things" comes to mind. I can sort of understand the backlash against corporate shuttles or even Uber, since these roll in and only benefit a certain layer of society. However, that decidedly does not seem to be the case with these bikes. From the article:

> “When you look at the transportation privileges that have been provided for these techies, and when you now look at these bikes, it’s not for Juan. It ain’t for Pablo ... The feeling of people in this community is like we don’t exist.”

But then:

> Supporters [...] claimed it is one of the most accessible in the country, with a $5 annual membership for low-income people and options to sign up without a credit or debit card.

This just sounds like complaining about change for the sake of it. Then again, maybe this whole anti-gentrification story is overblown. It could just be bored kids with no larger agenda. After all, the article even mentions it's common for vandals to target bike sharing systems when they first appear.
"If that triggers an "ah-ha!" moment for you then you've likely got bigger problems."

Or you're just not as experienced. Remember, every day there's someone born who hasn't seen the Flintstones.

Thanks for the clarification. I see them on San Antonio and in out of the way neighborhoods in Los Altos all the time but I guess from this article they are simulating more novel situations for the self driving AI and doing real world regression testing. It was only last year I saw one Waymo slow at every pedestrian crosswalk on San Antonio and there were no pedestrians nearby and the crosswalk lights were not blinking so definitely a necessary step.

One can do deliberate practice for writing prose (or poetry). The difference between a golf swing and a chunk of code is that, as you pointed out, there is a history of pedagogy such that many agree upon what makes a swing "good". But then many disagree on what makes it great. Or rather, depending on the coach, they emphasize different aspects to be tweaked and amplified. Could we not do that with code? I think fluency for basics could be emphasized at first, so the thinking could be put elsewhere sooner. This could change how students are taught at bootcamps, for example. The current bootcamp model is virtually devoid of any strategy with respect to pedagogy. They like to reference "the firehose" method, borrowing from MIT and Stanford. But they are teaching basics. Basics are deliberate practice developed skill sets. Firehose is just another way to say "we don't yet know how to teach basics but we like to overwhelm students and pretend it is some kind of teaching philosophy" . Granted, someone needs to address the issues you raise, but when they do, pedagogy might emerge. funny to contemplate how behind chess pedagogy code pedagogy is though.
If it's just a fancier editor then it's not worth investing any money into upgrading for anyone.

If you save 20 hours a year then it pays for itself. Everyone's economics are different, and the amount of time saved may be different. In the United States, you only need to save a few hours of work to make the upgrade worthwhile.

Fortunately, Atom is free so we can evaluate it to determine if it's worth the hardware upgrade.
Sounds like they are ignoring a huge swath of problems.

So yes, with a lot of effort you could design a smaller and less expensive to construct structure assuming higher field strengths, but it would take massive amounts of time and R&D to get to that point.

IMO, we really just need to bite the bullet and build something at scale. Version 1 needs not be efficient, but it's going to teach us a lot more about operations than simulations can.
My pet theory is that there's a recession in the first term of any new president. Although, you'd have to give an allowance for Bush Sr. sharing one with the first term of Bill Clinton.

If a president could time a recession, it would make sense to ensure that it was over before the next election.

For a certain class of people, recessions aren't a problem, but a tool which allows you to write off your more speculative investments.
Using PhpMyAdmin to Manage Local Databases
I haven't had a lot of stability problems with systemd, but I hate it. For me the hate comes from its extremely arcane interface and configuration layout. It's as bad as git in that you have to Google to learn how to do anything at all and the way to do simple things is obtuse and non-memorable, but unlike git I don't use it constantly so I never remember. Doing anything with systemd involves searching for how to do it since the command structure, layout, etc. is bizarre and counter-intuitive.

There seem to be some Unix/Linux developers who have a mysterious affinity for obtuse arcane time-wasting cognitive-load-increasing design. It's like they see the ability to master crufty badly designed systems as a badge of honor or something, or maybe it comes from a drive for job security or consulting hours.

Example: "systemctl list-units"

What's wrong with "systemctl ls"? What would have been wrong with a shorter command that's easier to type like "sys ls"? It's a core aspect of the system so a name like "sys" would have been appropriate, easy to type, and easy to remember.

Even worse the output of list-units has overly long lines and manages to be simultaneously hard for humans to read and hard for machines to parse. It uses white space as both a delimiter and within identifiers, making shell script parsing with "cut" etc. impossible.

The entire design is like this: obtuse, verbose, clunky, hard to type, hard to remember.

I absolutely loathe this stuff. Using it inspires fantasies of causing physical pain to its designers. A little bit of thought could have resulted in a clean, sparse, intuitive, and discoverable design with memorable commands and a straightforward configuration structure.

Don't get me started on abominations like Debian packaging or Windows drivers, though those are somewhat forgivable as their ugliness can be explained by their age and the need for backward compatibility. Systemd was a green field design from the 21st century so it has no excuse.
Could you please share more details?
Is there any system out there that supports branch 'annotations', of a sort, so that the programmer or the compiler can just tell the CPU what the branch behavior is going to be?

Like -- it seems kinda silly for the CPU to do so much work to figure out if a loop is going to be repeated frequently, when the code could just explicitly say "fyi, this branch is going to be taken 99 times out of 100".

Or, if there's a loop that is always taken 3 times and then passed once, that could be expressed explicitly, with a "predict this branch if i%4 != 0" annotation.
Agree 100%. Problem is though that many airline are starting to offer WiFi connectivity. I just hope that they've built shitty systems that won't work most of the time... :)
Lawsuits are a double edges sword. If someone else makes a car where the drunk driver could not kill other people and you don't, then when the drunk driver gets in your car and kills someone you will be sued for not having that in your car.

All the major car makers are working on self driving cars because they know one someone has it they dare not be more than a couple years behind. If their defense to the above lawsuit is we were working hard on it, but it was 2 years away when that car was built they will win. If their defense is anything else they lose a few million dollars.

In this case, the students will likely be doing pattern work in these aircraft which involves repeated takeoff and tochdown. In particular they will often do a touch-and-go where the aircraft maintains forward speed and takes off again. In this case, the regeneration should allow one extra circuit for every ten or so circuits.
Makes me wonder if the D programs work, as they also have the order reversed, but might possibly a) have different order defined, or b) do something clever based on the types (but then, what about

so, your core use case is a marketplace for code packages. The thing you offer no one else does. So, if I do a git pull or link to a package on something I haven't paid for it will block me?
Python is interpreted, C and C++ are compiled. They target different niches. Python is more focused on ease of use than performance.

Usually when writing scientific code in Python you're going to want to at the very least use numpy. It wraps various C functions for many time consuming tasks.

To get the most out of numpy you're going to have to vectorize you're code, as python's looping constructs are notoriously slow. Instead of writing something like

for i in range(0, len(v)):
v[i] = w[i]**2 + w[i]

You'd write something more along the lines of

v[:] = w**2 + w
> Does anyone who understands finance have any insight on why this pattern seems so predictable?

I think the only thing that is predictable is that there is some sort of cyclical event - where neither the frequency nor the amplitude is known. The peak-to-trough or trough-to-peak magnitude is not predictable and neither is the timing - unless you have some crystal ball.

The doomsday-ers will always beat the drums of fear. People will ignore them until there's an actual downturn - then we'll all point to them and marvel at their genius. Being a bit cynical, but I've seen this play out twice before in my professional career.

I just want to point out that it's really nice of HSBC, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley not to take any market positions before doing this, and just share their analysis in full as a public service.

What I mean, is that they could have very easily first taken short positions, then made this announcement. Or kept the analysis for themselves. But they didn't. They just did the analysis and shared it for free as a public service, which is a class act all the way.

I wish more Wall Street Banks looked out for investors this way. Sometimes big investment banks forget that there are people behind these pieces of paper.
You can achieve gender quotas without conscription. For example, the state could institute a policy to favor bids from companies with no gender segregation. No one would force women to work at a construction companies, but those companies would suddenly feel a major pressure to get female employees. Similar, the government has multiple dangerous / dirty / heavy / hot / long hours work that they sub contract, and all those could get the same treatment.

You could also do the reverse and encourage men to get into more safe work, while freeing up competent women to go into typical male professions. Both psychology and veterinarian have both around 10 female applicants per male, and the median school grades needed for both is very high. 40% of those women could easy be denied a spot in those female dominated professions in favor of gender diversity, and could then go into tech. It would be very interesting if a large veterinarian company and IT company would join in a pledge to hire one minority gender employee if the other did so. A "fair trade" in the area of social activism.

The cheaper oil is the more reliant the market gets on Oil. There are billions of dollars of investments going into plastics in US and abroad. The conventional wells are profitable at $15 per barrel. The only way to exit oil is either is too cheap for mass production or its to expensive for mass consumption. Currently, I do not see either scenario happening.

Only a handful of ships are reinforced to travel over light ice. They're called "ice strengthened" or "ice class" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_class). They're really not intended to charge head-long into ice, but are safer when in waters that may contain random and hard to spot chunks of ice.

I'm not aware of any American combat ships outfitted to that standard. In fact, when it comes to ice-hardened ships in general the US has shockingly few, perhaps only two depending on maintenance cycles: https://warontherocks.com/2016/10/icebreakers-and-u-s-power-...

An icebreaker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icebreaker) is meant to go charging through and in some cases even over ice. They're tough as hell compared to most ships.

The reason the bow is stronger isn't because of ice, it's because of the pressure exerted on the bulbous bow. It's a spherical protrusion that will have to be tougher or it'll collapse.

>A bonus: The airplane can regenerate energy during braking, just as electric cars do. When the pilot slows down or descends, the propeller becomes a windmill, running the motor as a generator to recharge the batteries. In the sort of airport traffic pattern typical for general aviation and student-pilot training, this energy savings comes to about 13 percent. In other words, if a plane lands having apparently used 8.7 kWh during the flight, it has actually used 10 kWh⁠—the propeller-recoup system put back roughly 1.3 kWh while flying in the traffic pattern.
Yeah, at this point, it might just be lingering feelings of luxury, even if its no longer the reality for the most part.
Because for the purposes of example, it doesn't matter what the data actually is.

So many details that people gloss over. I have used tensorflow (TF) and it is true that GPUs suck at interference at it. But it's not always the GPUs fault

- TF can't do anything quantized on GPUs. It just switches back to to the CPU/TPU.
- TF gets relatively poor utilization of the GPU and tends to not be careful with memory use.
- I was able to do certain types of classification hundreds of times faster by seeing what TF was doing it and hand writing it in OCL. Using https://docs.rs/ocl/0.14.1/ocl/. It's a super cool library for rust. Also users should checkout tensorRT https://github.com/NVIDIA/gpu-rest-engine/tree/master/tensor.... It's not super well supported and may go away, but it is fast

Its always the same story: "We're on the brink of X, but we need more money." where X is:

- a cure for cancer (one of the oldest and still working), a testable string theory, nuclear fusion, genetic engineering, flying cars, a cure for AIDS, for addiction, for cellulite, or for that fungus that's been festering in your crotch for 10 years now, [insert your favorite here], ..., etc.

Never, never, never will you hear:

"We've got enough money, please don't send more!"

or

"We have the solution, it has been validated by an independent group and it works! You can get it today!"

> is quicklisp a solid part of this ecosystem,

Yes, it is very popular. You can also, without Quicklisp, download manually the project and let ASDF do the rest of steps.

> is it easy to find and install packaged compared to perl and python for example?

There is this CL environment, Portacle (The Portable CL Environment) which you just download and immediately gives you (no more steps needed):

- SBCL lisp implementation/compiler
- Quicklisp
- SLIME environment
- Customized EMACS
- and other nice tools.

In any case, Quicklisp is easy to install as long as you have a modern ASDF version.

Quicklisp is really easy to use, as easy as, say, PIP for Python.
