That's a bit reductive. There's another thought - the government program might feel poorly run, but there are in fact a million contingencies that they have to pay attention to, that a startup doesn't; or the government program is poorly run, but it's better than the alternative (a profit seeking corporation driving down costs, but, ultimately, providing worse service at the expense of returns - see prisons).

I guess it all comes down to your definition of "poorly run".
That's insurance in EVE, not Star Citizen IIRC.
I consulted on a large healthcare data project with similar problems. Even "primary" keys were strings. Most tables had no indexes. (The developers routinely argued that they needed new servers with more RAM because they couldn't run multiple database queries at the same time. They already had 64 GB RAM.)

With Python even the code I wrote as a junior developer basically stands up five years later, looking back as a senior developer. There are definitely things I would have done differently, but there isn't any code where it would take several weeks just to figure out what the hell was going on and then another several weeks to make some modest improvements.
Yeah but there's a big difference between 442k and 100k. The extra cost of living is additive, not multiplicative.

I didn't even say 442k was unfair for the position- I don't know. But "tight" is basically objectively false.
Besides the obvious answer: pseudocode alike, also don't forget: worse is better.

Of all major languages is by far the slowest, hardest to extend and by now easily surpassed PHP and JavaScript with its number of design quirks.
yes. ok. but, people today assign additional shades of meaning to "Luddite."

also, one can compare the activities of the original Luddites in England to the activities of the author of that WP article.

the original Luddites "destroyed weaving machinery as a form of protest" because business owners were using that machinery to "to get around standard labour practices."

in a similar way, one might argue that this journalist is damaging Bodega's reputation (a critical element of any startup's "machinery") because it gets around a standard immigrant labor practice (starting and working in NYC corner shops).
I'm doing machine learning in Python ... this is because there is no choice. Given a choice, i'd use Ruby rather than Python.

You are correct, mining asteroids would be necessary for colonizing Mars. But mining asteroids would also bring Earth much closer to post-scarcity (maybe even as necessary!).

So if building a private beach on Mars for Musk and Richard Branson and Taylor Swift is what it takes to get an asteroid mining economy rolling, then cool, that's a plan…
Pharma companies don't necessarily lose out with single payer. Consider that the vast majority of drugs prescribed are generics, and most generics (aside from those making headlines) are available pretty cheaply (you can check GoodRx to see real prices). Of course, you might shave a good amount of profit from big pharma by negotiation (if there's a single payer or a few payers, they have a lot of power), but you don't want to stop R&D. How we shift that R&D burden and to whom, I have no idea.

Disclaimer: I work in big pharma research (nothing to do with pricing)

In addition to that there are loads of libraries for Python which are written in C, which gives you speed in the right moments.

I think the readable code thing is really really important, too. I can understand other peoples code quicker and learn more about the actual algorithm unlike in C++ where I wonder half of the time about syntactical non-sense and optimizations for certain compiler targets.

Then again, Python and C++ target very different groups and I like both languages for certain things.

I think there are better perspectives to look at it from than "replacing local commuter rail".

1. What commutes will it suddenly make practical?

2. What air traffic will it replace?
Yep! The difference between the two was a particular source of frustration for me.

Back when I was relatively new on the (full time) job market, I pulled my reports from annualcreditreport.com and it would tell me that my "credit score" is 720-740, and no negative marks.

However, I also had never taken out a loan before. So whenever I tried to do use that pristine credit (e.g. for a mortgage, credit card, or apartment), I had "no credit history" which appeared to the credit as toxic and subprime.

(Relatedly, when I got my first part time job and tried to buy a PS console with a check, Best Buy said it violated their "risk parameters" and wouldn't take it, though Walmart would.)
Yup, another Antergos fan here. I started with vanilla arch, but like others, got tired of things constantly breaking and my system becoming unpredictable and possibly unstable after every update. I got tired of doing everything manually and wasting time making config files for the simplest of things.

I tried looking into other distros (mint, fedora, ubuntu) but always found myself missing the awesome power of the Aur. So Antergos is the perfect compromise. It's easy to install (no manual configuration required) and gives me access to the Aur.
There are a lot more updates on Arch that require manual actions to be taken in order to work correctly, when compared to Mint or Ubuntu.

Similarly, the config file merging process on Arch is basically 100% manual (I know pacdiff makes it a little easier, but still).

> droffel: Hardware wallets use the BIP32[1] spec to implement "Hierarchical Deterministic" (HD) addresses. Using a single seed phrase (stored internally on the device, and also written down external to the device, neither copy should ever be online), you can generate an infinite number of addresses for your wallet. Every time you request a payment, you get a different address to send to, there is no address reuse (unless you or someone else chooses to send funds to an address that has already been spent from).

Are negative results more likely to have methodological or experimental error than positive results? I've never heard that claim.

I would actually expect the opposite, as finding evidence to support a new claim should be more difficult than not finding evidence.

My understanding is that a negative result has the following format: "we did such and such experiment and did not find a significant statistical relationship between thing 1 and thing 2, after controlling for a bunch of other things".

It's worth noting that this by no means proves that there isn't a relationship, it just means that study wasn't able to find evidence of one. It could be a piece of the puzzle for a potential strong case against such a relationship, or that further research is needed to untangle any confounding factors. Which is why I think all methodologically sounds results should be published, no matter how unflashy or boring.

Which parts did you find confusing? Was it the lack of a block-level scope, such as within for loops and if statements? I personally find the LEGB (Local, Enclosing, Global, Builtin) system to be pretty intuitive.

Somewhere in between. In many federal cases, there is little "picking" allowed. And where picking is allowed, it's mostly intuition.

In large cases, jury consultants have typically been hired to use their intuition, with a scientific-sounding gloss, so the lawyers and corporate managers have someone to blame if something goes wrong. They were famous for proposing questions that were supposed to tip you off to something important, like "Does anyone here regularly fill out a crossword puzzle?" Given the tiny samples, it was difficult to have scientific questions, or to prove that the questions were bunk. (I am less jaded about trial consultants, who deal with argumentation, compared to the 'jury consultant' industry -- which famously gave us Dr. Phil).

In today's mega-cases, the money is spent on rapid profiling of the potential jurors' actual opinions, using their public-facing social media. There's still lots of armchair psychology, but not as much based on bullcrap questions.
The usefulness as a currency or as anything else is irrelevant. Getting rich is the goal. It doesn't matter that the money comes from a bigger fool, or from someone who has to buy bitcoin to pay a ransom.

Been using AWS's certificate management.

It is _so_ nice not to (1) manage the certs with your own infrastructure (2) automatically deploy these things to HAProxy, Apache, MySQL, random server X.

Automated load balancing + cert management is heaven.
> but Node also has the advantage of being isomorphic. It's hard to beat JS when it's the browser language

This has repeated often but so far I haven't found a really convincing argument. All my friends, who know C, C++, C#, Java (and other languages) had no problem in picking up Javascript/ES7 for programming the browser using whatever you need.

I think this argument was exciting for the front-end developers who wanted to try doing things on the server but couldn't be bothered into learning a new language. So now with Node.js they are happy and satisfied, until they realize that the problem is not the language; the problem is that server programming is a different matter altogether, no matter what the language is.
I used to think I wanted the very latest version of every single application, not matter what.

The Python design FAQ explains why Len is a built-in function instead of a method. Guido wanted a guarantee that whenever he called it, it'd return a whole number.

I think you are being political on the back of an awful incident / world.

And distracting from the important point, once a person does their time, society should also move on.

But to spell it out -

She has to stick to her story of all the awful things that happened to her (which I'm sure most did). But you can't just take it all at exact value.

If the story says it was rape (which is now a militarized word which is what you're trying for), it effects a real person's life, who possibly has a family.

If she's under playing it, it could be because she doesn't want to harm them, for many reasons. For instance it's not true.

I assume both parties were under age, so neither consented in some ways. And given the possibility of drugs etc who knows what really happened. They seemed to have had a further relationship. Everything seemed messed up in her life.

It wasn't "What she calls" it was "What she called", it's a quote and it seems to me the writer is helping her out.

She chose that phrasing, whatever happened to her when she was 14, happened to her. If she chooses it, it's her choice for her reasons, not yours.

Yeah, NYC/DC would involve either really complicated/expensive on-land right-of-way acquisitions, or development of new underwater tunneling technology to put the tunnels off shore. Plus it's a corridor that's already served by lots of other existing transportation modes: extensive road network, rail, three airports on each end with direct flights from any one on either end to any one on the other, etc. I'm not surprised that there are other options with a higher value proposition.
They aren't, but you're looking at this the wrong way around. You want all levels of government working together to create a healthy society - If your urban planners just defer health costs to private health insurance, what incentive do they have to create spaces that are healthy and productive? Are there measures schools can take to lower mental health incident rates, etc.

Health outcomes aren't determined solely by visits to doctors and the availability of pills.

Courts don't report when you are habitually 30+ days late on your loan payments but still pay them off. Courts also don't report how much debt you have. It would also not have any positive information about you, like how many loans you've taken out but paid back successfully and on time.

What's your SSN and credit score? Just curious.
It is all semantics at this point. H-1B is a dual intent visa. It is a working visa with the option for the holder to be sponsored for a green card. (through work, or family).

If the person doesn't want to apply for Green Card (Permanent Resident), then he/she are considered a temporary high skilled worker.

If they do apply, then yes. They are 'immigrants' until they get naturalized, aka, become us citizens, as their intent is to immigrate in the us.

In comparison, holders of F-1 (student visas), B-1 (business visas), are not considered immigrants, as they are supposed to return to their own countries after finishing their studies/work/visiting.

Yes Eve is amazing to read about, but looking at it from the outside it seems like if you're not a huge ego, you're signing up to be a cog in a machine.

That's one of the interesting things about EVE from a story perspective.

For most games, you're the "Chosen One": the Dragonborn, the Master Chief, The One. You're supposed to be the hero of a grand and epic story. To succeed in spite of the odds.

And this clashes greatly when you put that same storyline in an MMO. And somehow you have to reconcile being the Chosen One with all the other Chosen Ones running around and doing the same quests for the same rewards.

With EVE, there is none of that. You can be a plain ol' miner, or some other cog in a vast machine. Or you can be a pirate, and strike out on your own. Or whatever. You don't start out special, but maybe you can become special over time. And be part of a story that is talked about for years to come.
