Science was one of the few classes that I really responded to in grade school. You’re learning all the cool, big stuff, about evolution, and we were seeing those Pillars of Creation, that amazing Hubble image.

It was so fascinating, hearing these big, broad ideas. It would be like, “Now we’re going to talk about DNA and Lamarckian genetics.” But when you had to be smarter for it, like, “Now we’re going to use pipettes and study pH balances,” I was like, “Eh, science is getting a little too sciencey for me.”

I think this nicely captures the appeal of fun sci-fi adventure series like "Rick and Morty" and "Doctor Who." Learning mind-blowing new things becomes harder and rarer as you get older, and sci-fi keeps the experience fresh for us.

(Also, I was surprised to see them mention a dozen or so sci-fi shows and authors without a single nod to Doctor Who, which seems like the most direct inspiration for Rick and Morty. The inscrutable but often joyous magician traveling space and time with a magical device, constantly getting into mortal peril yet overcoming armies when he needs to, changing the fate of civilizations, encountering reminders of his colorful past, traveling humbly yet openly reveling in his power when he's forced to wield it, his callous facade complicated by his compulsive and somewhat careless habit of bringing an ordinary person along. And of course the theme song is an obvious homage.)
If you're using a device that isn't necessarily weak in terms of processing power and RAM, the Go vs. Rust debate AFAIK is basically about preference. There are features of each language that make them appealing in different ways; the major drawback from Go is in relation to binary size, memory management and general performance bloat.

I was drinking a lot (4-5 cups a day, usually crammed into the morning) when we had a Keurig in the office. Caused a bunch of heartburn during any particularly stressful weeks.

I've cut back to a max of two cups a day, and feel a lot better. I also don't feel like I need to drink coffee on the weekends to repel a headache until Mondays now.

Overlooking the social or communal aspect of research is a mistake. People want to publish their research for a number of reasons (prestige, priority, profits, simple enthusiasm), and people want to read published research for other reasons (to further their own research, to understand the current state of the art, simple curiosity).

Publishing a paper no one reads is pointless. To make people want to read a paper, you need to make sure it is novel (so they don't waste their time reading about something you only rediscovered) and that it is integrated into the existing understanding of the field, with citations of related research, using common terminology, etc (so they can more easily understand your work and what it means).

This is what working with an existing researcher gets you. If you don't work within this framework, why would other researchers waste their time working out that when you say "frazzles" you mean "frizzles", and once you work that out the whole thing is equivalent to a conference paper from '06?
No overall arc is the ultimate test of creativity. That's why Seinfeld (or arguably The Office) are so impressive to me. It seems like R&M is headed in a similar direction, since they take a lot of pleasure in pretending like they're building an arc and then resolving it in the most anti-climactic way ("Anyway, that's how I escaped from space prison!").

> Value is not intrinsic to the object, but varies depending on the market and its rules. Go to another country and your labour might be worth more or less.

Sure, but the issue is the relative difference between what your labor is worth and what your costs are. Automation reduces unskilled wages, meanwhile the worker's costs for necessities like housing have if anything gone up over time.

You could try to fix this by artificially raising wages for unskilled workers, but that's counterproductive. Increasing costs will increase prices workers pay when they buy things or drive people to substitute with alternatives that cause workers to lose their jobs. Exactly the opposite of the desired result.

What you really want is to reduce the cost of necessities so the wages they actually earn will go further. Doing so using government subsidies brings us right back to a UBI, and you seem to want something else.

The something else is basically changing the laws around housing and medicine to increase competition and drive down prices. Doing that is a good idea but good luck with that. The incumbents have a ton of lobbyists and a vested interest in staying fat.
>Historically, that happened before.

Yes, but the population was a lot smaller. Also they had jobs to go to. Even in coastal states, good entry level jobs are hard to come by, even with a college education.

Here's a population by state.

http://worldpopulationreview.com/states/

Think about getting everyone outside of a coastal state to move to a coastal state. What would that do to existing jobs in the coastal states? What would that do to land values in the coastal states? What would that do to land values in the non-coastal states? Think those people would be able to sell their old houses?

I mean "train and move," isn't really a solution. It makes a good sound bite, but once you think about the details, it kinda falls down when you are talking what? 50 million people?

The output may be faster in terms of CPU cycles, but the executable will have a larger memory footprint, which can cause performance problems when it comes to swapping, eviction of file-backed pages, etc.

I don't think so. We've had multi-core CPUs for many years and developers haven't been taking advantage of those.
I drink 12-16oz a day. I avoid drinking more than that to avoid the health risks, like kidney stones. I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to caffeine at this point, but I haven't been curious enough to test that theory.

I don't find much mental effect from it ("I need my morning coffee to function" type thing), but the act of drinking hot coffee is quite comforting.
I like coffee. Mostly because it tastes good, and I kind of like the ritual. In the last few years I've really gotten into it more. I use a coffee press and grind my beans fresh every morning.

However, I don't like being a zombie, unable to function until I've had my first cup, so I moved my "first cup time" back to 9:00 am. That means I keep a coffee grinder at my desk at work. I also limit my intake to about two cups per day for the same reason.

man, very well put. I wish I could edit your post and make it bold.
Maybe there's a cautionary tale about being an early adopter here. I don't know if I would start a new project with MFC, but it was a fantastic decision in 1996.

In a way, I think it's harder to pick technologies today for large projects. It seems like if something isn't new and growing steadily, it's stale and fading fast. What are the tools and frameworks with a long, healthy middle age ahead of them? I'm learning Go right now because there are a couple of web services I need, but I'm not that confident that I'll be able to run the same code for the next 20 years.
I have ~12oz (not a small cup (8oz) but also not a big one) usually every morning, but not usually out of necessity. I could skip it and function mostly the same. Sometimes I can tell that it's actually over-stimulating and prevents me from focusing, especially when I drink it on an empty stomach. I usually try to have it with a bite of food.

I order coffee whenever I'm out for breakfast/brunch, 2 or 3 cups

I also sometimes have a latte or small cup of coffee before going to the gym, especially if I'm trying to go after work. It helps me avoid getting stuck on the couch and relaxing as soon as I get home.

That's raw information. We do not know about past centuries because we had access to letters written by common people - while that helps it doesn't give context. That's where books come in.

You've missed the point I and the GP are making completely. GP is making an argument about what is happening to displaced people, not about what is happening to the coal industry.

The claim in the GP is _not_ that coal "is dying to political disfavor", the claim is that political disfavor of coal exists and is not helpful _to the people who used to mine it_, for whatever reason those people were displaced.

It really doesn't matter if coal is dying because alternatives are better or if it's the Illuminati doing it, because that doesn't change the fact that politicians are not doing anything to address the effects of it and in some cases are being explicitly callous towards people who used to be employed mining coal.
Every once in a while I'll have a 6oz cup of black. Probably on average 2-3 per week, with l-theanine. I like the taste and process of drinking it but not jitters/anxiety.
I use something like Dapper on one of my services. I don’t consider it “throwing the baby out with the bath water”. My experience with ORMs is that they waste far more time debugging odd behavior and working around quirks and poor generated queries than they save in coding effort. I’ve never felt that ORMs actually saves me that much effort except for the boilerplate of deserializing into objects. Everything else I feel is a net negative. Writing SQL generally isn’t that hard. For the cases where it is hard, ORM generally does a poor job anyway.
That looks really nice. I run my deep learning jobs at work, so I am not your customer, but if I was working independently your service would be a great fit.

BTW, I am a long time off and on Heroku customer. Any service like your and Heroku's that saves developer time is good, at small scale.
AMD doesn't include coolers with their X chips either. It makes sense, you really only should buy those chips if you intend to overclock, and you won't get a reasonable OC on stock heatsinks. As long as they were including those heatsinks they were just wasting the aluminum almost every sale.
I like the smell of it and in some foods it is great. Only somewhat enjoy drinking it if it's sugared up but I don't like really sugary drinks, so it is a fine line.

> and was defeated handily within hours of being available to the public.

The public exploited tricks to beat it. They did not beat it 'handily'.

Afterwards, the pros who do beat it only manage to do so ~2-3 times for every 100 games played. I believe they have been playing the same version that was shown at The International and not an iterated version.
This is exactly what I mean. That's who people should be upset with. Culture issues stem from management, generally speaking. Some misplace this entirely and basically resent tech workers who have little say in policy anyways just because they have a subculture.
A sentence can be technically accurate and practically misleading at the same time. I would think twice before defending something on technicality alone.

No, that's a perfectly practical approach. You're much less likely to make mistakes on procedure names vs. full queries. The trade off is managing procedure versioning and deployments of procedures.

Ultimately it's a style preference but I've seen larger projects with thousands of lines of SQL in source with some of those queries spanning 6-7 joins with dozens of where clauses (plus string manipulation functions, ugh), so that is why I'm pretty fiercely against SQL in strings.
It made your text greyer, though. But have an upvote.
Wrong.

Take a look at another platform that Microsoft pushed into: game consoles. How did they break into game consoles? They bought an entire game studio, Bungie, and produced one of the most best selling games of all time (Halo) as an exclusive title. Nothing Microsoft did with Windows phone was on remotely the same scale. The fact that a movie of that scale would have been vastly more costly than the acquisition of Bungie and development of Halo is merely an indication of the fact that MS waited too long, not that nothing could be done.

True, but less so now than a decade ago; if it's a hot path (which anything `__forceinline` presumably is, assuming the author has a reasonable understanding of optimization) inlining is usually going to be a performance win, and often a cache/code size win as well (optimizing the inlined code, avoiding register spills).

Conveniently, nobody talks about mutagenic breeding, or hitting seeds/plants w/ radiation or mutagenic chemicals to see what you get. Surely if selectively inserting well-known genes into plants is risky, mutating plants with completely unknown gene combinations is even more so? Yet, you hear no call to label such foods. Once again we see that pretty much every objection to GMO can also be leveled against other widely-accepted breeding and farming techniques.
Funny, I was just wondering who'd bring up the talking points about virtue signaling, which seem to be all the rage these days.
You've identified the issue in the example: risk aversion, which is often not modeled in 'classical' econ, e.g. not in auction theory generally.

In Scenario 1, you have a choice between definitely not dying (buy the antidote) and dying with 1/1000 chance (don't buy it). They're asking how much you'd pay to switch from the second to the first.

In Scenario 2, you have a choice between definitely not dying (stay home) and dying with 1/1000 chance (go to the lecture). They're asking how much you want to be paid to switch from the first to the second.

If your utility is quasilinear in money (meaning it equals utility for dying plus final quantity of money), as in 'classical' econ, then these decisions are the same assuming you don't care about attending the lecture.

Launch from Layout is an installation method that allows you to take loose files (an unpacked appx zip) and tell the OS 'treat this as an installed app'. You can do this with a couple WinRT APIs, Device Portal, or WinAppDeployCmd which comes with the SDK.

I own dev mode for Windows 10, and can confirm that these issues have been always solved and recently received more improvements, although the documentation may be lacking. Windows has always supported third party stores and the ability to pass around an appx.
AMD is still at least a generation behind. They're more competitive in terms of $/perf value, but the i7-7700K still beats all the new AMD chips except in heavy-MC tasks, which gaming is not (outside of maybe GTA V).

I make about 16oz of slightly above average strength coffee when I wake up at 9-10am and drink on average about 12oz of it throughout the day until 3pm where I cut it off completely. I've found that this makes my mornings and early afternoons very productive (I think faster and can focus better) but I'm still able to fall asleep at night around 1-2am (as long as I exercise enough and have good sleep hygiene in general). I get a little slow around 4-5pm but overall it's a net positive addiction. I also usually drink much less or no coffee on Sunday and can sleep 9 or 10 hours that night.

I think my genetics mesh well with caffeine. My sister and everyone on my mom's side of the family loves coffee and none of us have any side effects from it. I discovered I liked it in college and it significantly boosted my motivation, grades, and life in general, so I kept with it. I tried going off it for a few months when I thought it was causing me sleep problems, but the cause was something else and I've been happily drinking coffee almost every day since.

As someone that worked on migrations to Silverlight and then to UWP, I still don't understand why these are seen as such big deals. The APIs were more similar than they were different and XAML is still XAML. (The only big loss from Silverlight was being able to browser-host it, but even then that was probably worth losing for the greater good to avoid terrible plugin websites.) The only thing they really dropped was Silverlight as (an unnecessary) brand name.

If they had semvered the whole thing: Avalon => UWP 0.x, WPF => UWP 1.x, Silverlight => UWP 2.x, Windows 8.1 UAP => UWP 3.x, today's UWP ~=> UWP 4.x, I don't think any developer would have blinked, I feel like we'd have a lot fewer people feeling they dropped support for things... Then again, developers like to complain when their cheese is moved, it could be just like Python 2 versus Python 3 or VB6 versus VB7.
