Even worse, if you do walk after the bars close, you are more likely to get stopped by the police simply because you are out walking. Living a mile outside the city, you can get stopped because you are walking on the side of the major road. You are supposed to take the slower route through the countryside.

"One metric that some sites evidently use is email sent to accounts that are known to be inactive, which is seen as a sign of a spammy originator. This, seemingly, is where Mozilla has run into trouble. One way to avoid this problem is to track which recipients are actually reading their email; any recipient who doesn't look at any messages for a period of time can then be unsubscribed."

Shouldn't the sites bounce those emails in a way Mozilla can detect and therefore use to prune?
The kind of API I was looking for but couldn’t find (in 2014) was “when I change the value of cell A1 to 17, what’s the value of cell C5?” And get the answer within a couple of seconds. There was no supported way to programmatically change the value of a cell and get the calculated result of a different cell, at least not that I could find.
It's to do with the aerodynamic design of the planes, the response of the wings to turbulence, and the altitude and speed at which they're flying.

The 747 is a longer plane with more wing surface area. Maybe that gives it better stability. https://www.quora.com/Is-a-Boeing-747-bigger-than-a-777

The new composite materials might also be a factor, where perhaps the plane is designed to flex and distort more, which could make the trip more rough.

This happens in several parts of Europe as well. It's part of the telcos' billing infrastructures, and many operators for example have middleboxes which allow TCP streams to be looked up against the billing system.

I believe the original idea was to allow companies selling ring tones to able to bill customers who downloaded their ring tones directly on the customers' telco bill.

From a privacy standpoint it's been a catastrophe. There are countless of operators who have been caught decorating customers' outgoing HTTP traffic with their mobile number or personal details. It's just a few years since one operator was caught doing this in Denmark [1].

Again, just a few years ago, in Sweden, a company setup porn sites and pretty much blackmailed their mobile visitors into paying $$$ for porn they supposedly had agreed to download. This company was using operators' billing APIs to lookup subscriber details from the IP:port numbers of connections to their porn sites [2].

In Norway, a company called MobileTech, use the same APIs to improve unreliable web tracking using cookies. By using these billing APIs they can assign a unique identifier to a particular subscriber regardless if this subscriber clears their cookies or share the connection across multiple devices. Their tracking script (b.mobiletech.no iirc) is embedded on many popular nordic sites. Their improved visitor tracking and demographic data is also sold to third party marketing companies such as Research International.

Though IT support would count, I was thinking more along the lines of supporting traders, such as quants and the people that specialise in their toolkits that support them.
In my experience writing software with generic SQL support the example shown here highlights something that's endemic in MySQL.

MySQL has a bug (eg. #199) or some deficiency (no subselects, no transactions, incorrect utf-8 support)[1]. The community's solution is a workaround (Here's how to restructure your select so that you don't need a subselect. Maybe you could use UUIDs instead of integer keys). Meanwhile the problem never existed in Postgres, which seemed to have been correctly and completely implemented from the start. After several years the issue is fixed in MySQL and the boosters ask that the score be reset and the clock re-started.

Postgres has its deficiencies and bugs but other than replication they never seemed core to the product in the way that they were for MySQL.

[1] These deficiencies span several decades and might seem unfair to bring up but I want to show that what the article is highlighting is just another round of the same problem.
None of what he mentioned was desktop-specific. GPUs are useful, and if CUDA is involved then it's being used for acceleration of some kind, which can perfectly well be done on servers.

I agree that Nix is hard to deal with when it comes to binary distributions of any kind, which includes CUDA.

Quantum mechanics and machine learning seem to be closely related, such that they can emulate each other efficiently.¹

Both can be represented with very high dimensional vectors, non-commuting observables and linear algebra. I personally suspect there are a lot more similarities but the area of research is still quite young.

Now that's a making of I'd like to see.
I was taught to do it like this in C:

double *a = malloc(sizeof(double)*nx*ny*nz);
int id;
for(int k = 0; k < nz; k++) {
for(int j = 0; j < ny; j++) {
for(int i = 0; < i < nx; i++) {
id = k*nx*ny + j*nx + i;
a[id] = /* some mathematical operation */
}
}
}

You can do it in other ways (arrays of pointes, etc), but I think this is probably the simplest conceptually, and the memory is contiguous.
C++ is complex. Perl is complicated.
Most of what you'd learn playing with other OSs, you'd need to unlrearn to work with Nix. So... nothing much really.

Read the Nix Pills series, that'll teach you more than any amount of playing with non-Nix software.

> I think functional-programming has more relevance to scientific computing

What do you base this on?
I'm unconvinced by your arguments, while I can understand (and agree) with some of the points you're making, I don't think it's as cut and dry as you make it.

CalTrain is $7.70 from MV to SF[0], not $33/person (or $16.5/person in your original comment). Or, you can get a montly pass for $215.

You don't need to wait on trains if you get your schedule down. They're VERY timely in my experience (caltrain). It is true that a car grants you the ability to fuck around and not worry if you'll miss the train. Especially during heavy commute periods, there are trains every 5-10 minutes.

Now, lets consider other pieces.

Depending on the vehicle you drive, where you park (how much it costs/inconvenience), insurance, maintenance, fuel, and potentially a lease, I have a difficult time in seeing how that would come up to less than $215/mo.

Fuel: SF to MV is 40 miles. A honda civic advertises 40mpg, so you use about a gallon of fuel in one direction. You go two directions each day if you're commuting. We'll call fuel $3/gallon, since you can find it both cheaper and more expensive in the bay. So, $6 worth of fuel for a day. 4.5 (weeks per month) x 5 (working days in week) x $6 = $135 in fuel costs alone, with no traffic (fuel/time/inconvienence costs). Running through a quick Progressive Insurance thing, I find that the insurance for a 2015 Civic is $62/mo for the base option[1]. Maintenance is $18/mo[2]. And there you have it, a vehicle for commuting is more expensive than a monthly pass alone. Excluding parking, the upfront cost of the vehicle, etc.

Yes, the tragedy of transit is that it's more expensive when you travel in groups. Few transit systems have actually tried to address this from my limited experience.

The cost is indexed, so the price really hasn’t changed. Don’t forget that there is a flat rate pass, and most 50+ person companies offer the passes pre-tax. In addition, TNC pricing doesn’t have federally mandated discounts for seniors, disabled, youth, and low income.

If anyone else was wondering, the film they're talking about in the beginning of the interview, Napoleon, was never made:

> Napoleon was eventually canceled due to the prohibitive cost of location filming, the Western release of Sergei Bondarchuk's epic film version of Leo Tolstoy's novel War and Peace (1968), and the commercial failure of Bondarchuk's Napoleon-themed film Waterloo (1970). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Kubrick%27s_unrealized...)
It's all manually compiled/researched. The companies I draw from memory, then I check the founders & ages (if possible). Some of the founders I knew an approximation to start. I also started compiling a young (or youngish) list as I went:

Bill Gates (20, Microsoft), Paul Allen (22, Microsoft), Mark Zuckerberg (20, Facebook), Dustin Moskovitz (20, Facebook), Steve Jobs (21, Apple), Patrick Collison (22, Stripe), John Collison (20, Stripe), Michael Dell (19, Dell), Marc Ewing (23/24 Red Hat), Ted Waitt (22, Gateway), Evan Spiegel (21, Snapchat), Bobby Murphy (23, Snapchat), Marc Andreessen (23, Netscape), Tobias Lütke (24, Shopify), Aaron Levie (20, Box), Drew Houston (24, Dropbox), David Karp (21, Tumblr), Palmer Luckey (20, Oculus), John Carmack (21, id Software), Helen Greiner (23, iRobot), Sky Dayton (23, Earthlink), Sean Parker (20, Napster), Shawn Fanning (19, Napster)

Some of the possible additions are questionable. For example, Stephan Paternot from TheGlobe.com. He was only 20 when it was founded in 1994, but was it meaningful enough to warrant inclusion? The dotcom bubble had several of those, most even weaker than TheGlobe's case.

Then there are the straddlers (not super young, not very old) like: Jason Olim (24/25, CDNow), Larry Page (25, Google), Sergey Brin (25, Google), Doug Burgum (25, Great Plains Software), Tony Hsieh (26, Zappos), Sachin Bansal (26, Flipkart) and so on.

Java has many implementations: and it has a standard. Why is it on the left hand side of this equation, rather than being a strong counterexample to your argument?

And you really want to use PHP as an example of a good situation?
SMTP has a perfectly good verification mechanism. You send a VRFY request with an email address, and the server tells you if the address is valid. The trouble is that many mail servers don't handle VRFY requests, because spammers used them to explore the space of destination email addresses.

There's also "Disposition-Notification-To", which sends back a message when an email is read. Most real mail clients tell the user this is being done, and allow the user to decide whether they want to send back a receipt. Does Gmail support that at all?
I don't really understand the point of the article.

How does this research “dispels a biological concept of race”?

>“If you ask somebody on the street, ‘What are the main differences between races?,’ they’re going to say skin color,” said Sarah A. Tishkoff, a geneticist at the University of Pennsylvania.

Yep, that's true. Skin color is the most prominent and easily identifiable feature. But every human can easily identify black/white/Asian based on facial features or voice. Forensic anthropologists can identify a race based on skull, they can even make a pretty good prediction based solely on a jaw.

The idea that race is just a skin color is not a dated notion of race, it is a modern interpretation that is pushed by leftists. If racists believed that race is just a skin color, why would they be racists?

Now, if we could dispel the idea that race is just a skin color and the idea that some races are inferior, if we could stop treating it as a dichotomy, that would be good.

When will the redesign be merged?

It's over a year that I first read about Nix and they talked about the redesign.
This is a very reasonable comment.

The primary difference between being socially liberal and socially conservative is the idea of the government’s role in our lives (and more generally, collectivism vs. individualism). The socially liberal concepts of universal health care, social security, welfare, public schools and universities, environmental regulations and others all require funding in the form of taxation and then spending in form of government programs.

This type of taxation and the growth of government spending goes against the basic principles of fiscal conservatism.

Until robot-powered post-scarcity and UI changes the fundamental structure of society and government, social liberalism and fiscal conservatism is a paradox.

This seems very similar to Bubblewrap: https://github.com/projectatomic/bubblewrap
I think that's a really valuable mental tool. Sometimes past baggage is a hindrance to current goals.

As part of treating my notes as a code project, I even keep them version controlled, which leaves me a little more free to just delete things or "refactor" stuff. A lot of the value I get is going back through things and synthesizing them into clearer and more useful notes. TODOs in particular are dangerous -- I try to treat files of that nature as extensions of my long term memory, rather than a curriculum which I feel obligated to follow.

That being said, there is an element of this project where I feel like a am building a piece of "my life's work". I've built a number of software projects, and part of building them over time and organizing them leaves them in a state where I am proud to have built them -- I can point out a piece of the system, and understand why it works that way, and remember the choices that led to its current state. At one point, I realized that I had no such project for my life, and it was a little weird that I had so clearly documented software systems that were hardly used, whereas my life and action and ideas and knowledge were, for the most part, just in my head. So in a way it's more than the practicality of having notes, although in the practice of it I have found it to be practical. It's a way of adding meaning to the course of my life -- now the ten minutes I spent reading an article can also become a gift to my future self due to the one choice quote I grab from it.
That depends why units are underutilized, though. If the train + bus system doesn't get you close to where you need to go, it might not be worth your time to use. If it takes too long, again, won't be worth the time. If they can't get you to work on time or stop running before you are off work? Again, not worth your time to use them.

In all of these cases, a good answer is to have more convenient public transport - and that usually means adding more units.

Other problems have other solutions, like adding tolls to congested areas, subsidizing public transportation so the fares are low enough for people to afford or choose it over driving, or increasing private vehicle ownership costs.

I re-used the Digital Mars C++ optimizer and back end for the dmd D compiler, so that would be like using LLVM for an optimizer and back end.

I still wind up spending nearly all my time on the D front end, and not the lexer/parser. The time spent on the lexer/parser is a rounding error.

Besides, build the lexer/parser by hand. The mystery of how to do them will evaporate, and you'll find you can apply that knowledge to all sorts of other tasks.
A significant component of this is that your (usually free) parking on both ends of the trip is subsidized by its requirement in local zoning, which increases general costs and subsidizes driving (parking spaces often cost $10,000+ apiece to build, excluding any land cost). The Highway Trust Fund, which pays for interstates, has also been bailed out by general federal funds in recent years, and local roads are usually built and maintained by general local taxation as opposed to any tax on motorists.

Diesel trains with conductors also have high opex as opposed to electric trains.

Plus transporting 4 people in a car is a best-case scenario for auto transport costs. And you seem to be making your estimate either assuming a very low TCO car or by excluding deprecation, maintenance, and insurance, since the IRS estimates the average car costs 54 cents a mile to operate.

Beyond that, cities along the Caltrain line have severely restricted development around train stations and forced it to their fringes along highways, which makes train transportation less practical and auto transportation easier.

That's interesting, because it is quite improbable that someone would "know personally" several lottery winners at ~590000 to 1 odds, even if his acquaintances routinely bought two tickets a day. GP's post is just a single datum, of course, but it's enough in itself to raise doubt about the accuracy of that 1.7/megatrip statistic.

Numerically, suppose GP knows 30 people who make 600 trips on BART each year. In one year, the chance of at least one robbery in that group, given the quoted odds, is three percent. The chance of multiple robberies, i.e. at least two, is under 0.05 percent – over 2000 to 1 odds against. Even over a ten year period, the odds are 25 to 1 against. If GP's personal experience is not unusual, then something is screwy with the stat.
