BASIC is pretty good. I went from that to 6502, then to 680x0 and then to C (then to FORTRAN and then right back to C). I had a fair number of co-workers (years later, you know, when I had a job) who struggled more than a little bit with pointers. They said that they never got them. I re-read K&R to refresh my memory as to the clarity of the author's exposition on the topic and found it crystal clear. I suspect that if I hadn't gone through assembly first, I might have had problems with pointers too?

It might be snobbery, but it seems as if amongst computer programmers, there are those who "get" pointers, and those who do not. For whatever reason - I surely have not figured out how to explain pointers to those who do not "get" them. But I have found that this divide does simplify the software developer interviewing process down to only a couple of short technical questions.

Whether you have an advantage or disadvantage depends on your goal.

If you want a series of potentially-fun lottery tickets in industries and teams you choose, you have an advantage.

If you want any return (and I mean any, as in, recovering any capital), you have 3 huge disadvantages: insufficient diversification[1], a lack of dealflow, particularly great deals, and inexperience evaluating and participating in other people’s startups. These are all surmountable, but doing so is an occupation.

If you don’t already read Matt Levine, the “Retail Traders” section of https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-10-09/retail-vo... applies to picking a small quantity of individual startups too. The reason to do it is because it’s fun (and you’re comfortable losing all of the principal), not to earn average risk-adjusted returns.

Thank you for asking this. I've been wondering about it for several years. My assumption has always been that if the latter is correct, then some kind of exponential increase in time to get a solution would be involved. I'd love someone who actually knows something about physics to give an answer that's understandable to people who haven't studied the subject since high school 30 years ago.
"updated" is the new way to say "we're killing functionality" without actually saying it. The update, as best they've described, is the elimination of the 'Portfolios' functionality.

Any recommendations for alternatives?
The open office from which I type this is usually quiet. Three of my neighboring co-workers have chronic coughs, throat clearing, and hacks. I wear earplugs inside can headphones that are on all day, and still, it's excruciatingly distracting. I would pay several thousand dollars a year to never hear them cough again.
Many libraries are often overrun with toddlers and seniors during the day whose behavior is - to put it mildly - not library appropriate. A coffee shop has an incentive to keep the environment more civil and inviting.
I know it is very difficult for victims of such aggravated harassment to name "the guy", but it has to be done. If this man had gone up and punched her in the face, he would have been lead out in cuffs and everyone would know who he is. Why is it any different with people that grope someone? Yes with things that are more on the fringe of what some people would consider harassment, perhaps the person should be informed that this makes someone uncomfortable and not put on blast, but something as blatant as groping someone should be treated no different than physical assault.

When more people come forward with this just as they would if they were assaulted, the "Weinsteins" will be not able to operate.
Right, it makes absolutely no sense to believe in it now, when it clearly does not exist. But I don't think it's a bad thing to work toward, and actual just world.
Clickbait headline? Debugging and diagnosing production errors may take more time than we want it to, but it is hardly a waste. Quite the opposite, actually. Locating and fixing errors is an essential part of what it means to be a software or systems engineer and I doubt there is any consensus on what percentage of the week it should take. The right answer probably varies tremendously based on the type of system involved.
That seemingly simple repeat functionality would require a much less simple nn, from what I understand.

>..."work hard, play hard" is a red flag phrase.

In my experience, it appeals to a certain segment of employees. That is, young single employees who get most of their social interaction at work. In that context, it seems to make some sense to work long-ish hours and also stay "at work" late attending company parties and such. They don't really have anything to go home to, so work becomes like a second home.

But for employees with more attachments, I agree. Then you just want to put in your time doing something you like and go home.

The real goal should be making a super AI that is worthy of being humanity's collective offspring. The bias in favor of our bags-of-mostly-water is provincial. All we really need is quality genetic engineering of our super AI baby, so we don't end up with a Frankenstein monster.

Humanity's procreation of a superior intelligence is objectively a good thing. Humans do not sit on any plateau of goodness or intelligence. Like all lifeforms, our goal should be to hand our future to better and better offspring.

As long as this super intelligence leads to super ethics and super consciousness, it should be humanity's greatest accomplishment to be replaced by our God-like procreation.

I'm sure that we'll discover many new things to study with proper dredging. In fact under some conditions it is called Unsupervised Machine Learning and viewed in a positive light.

Quantum computations are a case of reversible computations. If you're aiming to relate qantum computers to other kinds of computers, I suggest starting with the paper called "Synthesis and Optimization of Reversible Circuits - A Survey" [0]

It describes the kinds of computations that need reversible computations and kinds of devices that can perform them. That makes it easier to notice similarities, as quantum computers are not the only ones in this category. Notably, photonic and low power computations call for reversibility.

The first couple of pages of the paper also touch upon what can be done with them - while you don't have to throw away all you knew about logic gates, the reversible ones are their own thing.

If the water goes too deep, perhaps Mika Hirvensalo's "Quantum computing" helps. It approaches the topics of how to compute with qubits from mathematical side.

I still don't know the theory behind quantum annealing though - I don't think these two cover it.

Still, I learned that the main difference is that the state doesn't have to travel as with electronic circuits, but rather one would likely "apply" gates as "events" acting on the state. A qubit could then be any quantum object - a electron trapped in one place and being hit with photons for example. Place a couple together and hit them in a coordinated way and that event was your gate.

When it comes to saving states, it will be problematic. Of course, it's possible to "save" a qubit to another qubit - with some workarounds for the "no-cloning" principle.

But if you mean saving them to a classical system, it seems it's not possible at all. A qubit is a representation of a probability, and once read it's destroyed. You could try recalculating it several times and get an idea of the probability it represents. However, qubit readouts are not guaranteed to be independent from one another, giving another bit of headache here.

Well, one should also account for gumption.

Those illegal immigrants are standing outside every Home Depot waiting to provide labor for any job you can give them.

I've never seen a white or black person standing outside a Home Depot just hoping that someone will come hire them.

Also, think about the last time you ate food: that food was likely picked by an illegal Mexican immigrant or cooked by a Mexican chef.

I ate at Kobe Japan restaurant in Walnut Creek for a hibachi meal - the chef was named Jose.

If a Mexican rapture ever happened - many people would starve to death.

There's no need for a data hoarder to rely on platform specific facial recognition - they'll presumably ingest all photos and tag/group them themselves. This of course includes images where you've been photographed in a group/public place. I imagine it's pretty trivial to "walk" from a single known-good photo (eg: booking / surveillance photo taken in connection to a "suspicious" public gathering, atm cctv, or where a person is figuring in the same photo as a known "person of interest") - to ~99.9% of all photos in the dataset...
How to install Java in Windows 7 step by step
a separate preview is unnecessary for some users, it's true.

but when you're using a full range of complex features, it is.

and when something isn't displaying the way you intend, you often need to view the input _with_ the output, to see exactly what's causing the problem and to test possible solutions.

i also found that, while typora is good at showing what the output looks like in a browser-window which is sized exactly like the one you are typing in, it's less informative at showing what the content will look like in a .pdf or a .mobi or an .epub.

and, just for the sake of completion here, typora also became very unresponsive when i tested it with large files. again, not everyone will have that problem, but some users definitely will.

but i'll give typora another go, and see if it's improved since i last tried it...
Create Charts Using PHP and MongoDB
So w.r.t. to (1), yeah, I totally get that. And I agree that is a hard problem to solve in the context of document editing (or more precisely, anything that contains a sequence). But for a graph, the logic is considerably simpler because a graph is just two sets. So if the system "loses" work that the client has done, it's only when some other client has deleted or changed something. So if two clients are editing the same graph and one drops a vertex and the other creates an edge that connects to that vertex, what is the right outcome in that circumstance? It seems to me like the edge gets deleted, and that this is a natural user conflict, no? (Regardless of how you order the operations in this case, the edge gets dropped.)

W.r.t. to (2), yeah, sure, but if clients need to be able to remove things then you lose commutativity and you end up missing the requirements of the system itself. Or is there some other component of a CRDT system that's supposed to handle this? (My big picture takeaway from the OP paper was that it was specifically trying to handle the non-commutative operations.)
This news sounds great to me, but I feel like I don't understand what's happening behind the curtain and don't grasp the second-order consequences. What would motivate them? I wonder what the political motives are (industry politics, not the other kind that we won't mention here).

Could this eventually displace standards bodies such as WHATWG and W3C? If the Product Advisory Board of Mozilla, Google, and Samsung agree on a standard and publish it at MDN, will that become as official, at least de facto, as a standard published by W3C? I do see W3C is mentioned as a participant.

Also, for the sake of argument (and IMHO, of realism) let's assume that Google, who can virtually set web standards themselves these days, isn't doing this for a purely altruistic motive of supporting the open web. Why would they give up the 'soft power' of writing their own documentation for their own standards?

Whew... I can think of a long list of reasons to sell a business. Many sell simply because of life events - wanting to spend more time with family, travel, buy a new house, deal with personal health. Running a small business is a 24/7/365 job and you can't just take a month off because you have got a honeymoon or a newborn in the plans.

Accounting (consult your own accountant please0: when you make salary/profit from your small biz you get taxed at ordinary tax rate (up to 40% in the US) where is when you sell biz as assets you may be taxed at capital gain tax rate (0%-20%) which is a financial advantage - like you get paid 3-4 years ahead. Again, consult a professional on this.

You could have other ideas or projects you want to work on, but unable to because your business is your 100% priority and has been for too long.

You might not want to deal with hiring a team because that's the stage your business is at - too big for you to handle on your own or you don't want to work 60-hour weeks anymore.

I could just go on and on, but a combo of 2-3 of these will certainly make the thought of selling quite appealing to many.

Two Dollar General stores separated by a mile popped up in my hometown in northern California, a place that can barely support two of any stores even grocery stores. Dollar General stores are expensive and nearly always empty. When I lived in the south eight years ago, Dollar General stores were expensive and empty too. I would not be surprised at some point if the economics of their expansion didn't make sense.

As someone else mentioned, Dollar Tree is different. There is a Dollar Tree that is always packed next to an empty Dollar General in my hometown. Dollar Tree is a deep discount store. Dollar General is a convenience store without gas.

> Superconductivity implies no interaction with the environment, which is necessary and sufficient to maintain superpositions.

I am not sure what you mean here. Superconducting magnets are often used to control plasma (part of the environment) so it doesn't imply isolation from the environment.

Superconducting qubits are only superconducting because josephson junctions happen to be good candidates to make qubits out of. Ion traps (which generally have much better coherence times than superconducting qubits) and photon based systems don't need superconductivity.
It seems clear from general societal trends and the specific informative example of the clergy abuse scandal that the durable rate of offending in the general population is around 5%, and that the distribution follows a long tail, i.e. most violence and also most sexual violence is perpetrated by only a tiny subset, with the vast majority of offenders being only incidental.

So, I would expect that in any population examined, you'd see about <1% or so of a really significant core of unrepentant, repeat offenders committing a large majority of the reprehensible acts, and I would expect to see this durably despite any level of intervention or harm mitigation.

Where intervention really matters is in the ~4% who transgress on an incidental basis, and small changes in culture and education can make a large difference there.

We just need to set clear standards that establish what is or is not acceptable, educate people about how to avoid being an abuser, and have significant consequences for that abuse. Part of that is pretty simple openness, discussion, and recognition of the problem; and part of it requires creating systems that can protect and evaluate reports of abuse without endangering the victim, which is a more difficult task.

Well the point is whether or not this is a superconducting chip. It is. Since it is a superconducting chip, I'd like to know what OP meant when they said they mixed it up, because I don't see where they said superconducting where it isn't true and relatively relevant.

edit: also, I meant superconducting was (practically) required for superposition, but not vice-versa. I guess I misused the phrase one-required-for-the-other.
> You don't have to be part of a "permanent underclass" to appreciate cheap.

Right, but they're talking about their business plan. They are growing and expanding into rural, economically depressed areas.

You can be rich and still enjoy Dollar General, but if they are expanding massively into areas that mostly just contain the new "underclass," then their claim that "what the dollar stores are betting on in a large way is that we are going to have a permanent underclass in America" can still be accurate.
