Comcast or Verizon, I forget which, wanted $10k to add service to the building I was working in a year or two ago.

We ended up going with NetBlazr (http://www.netblazr.com). Worked pretty well.

I remain hopefully optimistic that other potential disruptors, like Starry or municipal broadband, will unseat the incumbents.
In about the same way that cable modem service is mostly fiber. It's just coax into the home (and yes, perhaps a bit up the span as well). :-)
> What did you think 'citizen' means?

A member of a state/nation. For example, I am an american citizen, not a new york citizen. Citizen has historical etymological roots to ancient greece and their city-state but the word has changed in meaning in modern times.

> Like many people I would guess, I know what a 'citizen' is

Apparently you don't if you think someone is a citizen of detroit. At least in the US, we are citizens of the nation, not a city. I don't need to get visa or permission to move from NYC to Detroit. I don't have to change citizenship if I move from NYC to Detroit.

> but I wouldn't know what a 'detroiter' was.

So you don't know what a new yorker is?

> That's a name for people from where I live.

Detroit is one of the major cities of the US. Pretty sure everyone knows what detroit is.

I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic here.
I've been using a philips 4k for a couple years now. previously the 40" and now the 43" (the 40" died in a terrible VR accident)

https://www.amazon.com/Philips-BDM4350UC-43-Inch-IPS-LED-Mon...

it's 4:4:4 chroma at 60hz so it's great for gaming too. and has a lower response rate than you'll get with TVs.

Highly recommended and it's hard to use anything smaller now.

Without using display scaling I wouldn't go lower than 40" and I think maybe even closer to 50" is ideal in terms of keeping the scale comparable between other periphial monitors. a 48" curved display would probably be perfect.

You can set the `fill` attribute on the `svg` tag to set the fill color, e.g.

I don't think the "browser-only strawman" is condescending elitists dismissing users --- I'm a self-described GNU zealot on most days the only software I use on are apps like firefox, ssh, and vim and a few other bits like gnome/xmonad, liquid haskell, latex, and rustc.

I have no clue how the "average person" uses a computer, but for me it really is all web. Hell, if I had consistent LTE on my laptop, I could very just spend the whole day in a full-screen firefox with a web-ssh connection to my work server for development.

Ruby is actually pretty good in this regard. If you define your module or class anonymously, but give it a name using a constant, Ruby will GC it when possible. The standard way of defining modules and classes obviously means they can never be GCed.

Java doesn't, or at least didn't, collect anonymous classes without an additional GC flag being enabled, which could bite you quite hard using JRuby with gems which made heavy use of anonymous classes.
Lexical scoping is essential if you want to use the Lisp for anything essential. If you start with dynamic scope for everything and the system develops any real complexity, then switching to lexical scoping becomes very painful. Best to do it right the first time.

Ver rode the Cash band-wagon to help his position of control over the ecosystem, as did many others. Hundreds of millions of value was created — and a lot instantly lost — in a day. It's been pumped over and over again by mining pools looking to make a quick buck while the difficulty is low as well.

That is where the "scam" lies. It isn't discrediting BCH — BCH already did that to itself.
Totally and completely agree.

But everywhere I've worked in the past 10 years has always asked me to unit test everything, and unit testing is specifically called out all the time.

Other types of tests are rarely even discussed, because many developers don't do a lot of testing beyond unit testing. Sometimes there are other organizations that pick up this slack, like a dedicated test organization, but many times there are not.

Perhaps it's just my experience, but I've found unit tests often give a false sense of security when most of the issues I have to fix (which are frankly the hard issues, not simple logic bugs) heavily involve how the code interacts with its environment. I'm talking OS level, user level, privilege escalation (such as UAC in Windows), networking, load, perf and stress.

It's not that I think that unit tests aren't good, they are, but I think people focus on them too much, to the detriment of other testing. Integration testing should catch all the things the unit tests would catch as well, the only difference is you have two copies of the test, and the unit test will give you more granularity into what is failing when you look at the test suite results. But as soon as you have a call stack or a logging facility (especially around error conditions), which is best practice, most of this is obvious as soon as you look at the result of the test.
Accounting is boring. They don’t call it bean counting for nothing. When your accounting or corporate governance is interesting, that’s a bad sign.

Which version of OSQP did you try for? 0.2 has improved a lot compared to previous versions (much better convergence behavior with adaptive rho).

Even though OSQP can solve also LPs, it is optimized to solve QPs. You can find some benchmarks here: https://github.com/oxfordcontrol/osqp_benchmarks They include:

- Randomly generated QPs from several classes such as control, portfolio, lasso, svm, Huber fitting

- The hard QP problems from the Maros-Meszaros test class (the reference benchmark testset for convex QPs)

What scares me is not the success or failure of BitCoin. What I find troubling is the spirit of BitCoin is paving the way for the exact opposite result.

The idealism is to produce a system for faster, cheaper, and censorship-resistant way to transact. BitCoin is actually becoming unusable for that. It's slower than Etherium, the fees continue to climb when measured against the US Dollar, and the privacy issues are not being addressed.

Sadly, no one will pay any attention to this while the price continues to climb. Only when the price crashes will folks come to their senses, just like when MintPal was hacked which destroyed VeriCoin and when The DAO collapsed with people voting to roll back and fork.
No, a function can be long but have a low cyclomatic complexity score [1] (being a list of do_this(), do_that(), do_somethingelse(), etc) while a short function can have a higher cyclomatic complexity score (lots of fiddly logic).

re:ports

It seems clear that we are heading to a USB-C world but we are not there yet. There are too many existing devices to which we need connections to just abandon them. When you reduce both the type and number of ports, you make the device less versatile. The availability of USB-C is still in transition and this generation of mackbook should reflect that. include at least one USB-A port and one display-port or hdmi port. Adding USB-C ports does move things forward but dropping the others too soon just impedes the function of these laptops.

AT&T has been very picky about where and when they deploy the DSLAMs to make UVerse happen.

In a lot of cases, they run into headwinds with local municipalities regarding contracts they already have with Comcast, RCN, etc when it comes to providing television service (AT&T has argued to varying degrees of success that UVerse has nothing to do with TV). DSLAMs are also ugly boxes that have to sit in very visible and inconvenient places.

For some reason in my neighborhood, UVerse exists up until about 3 blocks from my home and it goes no further. Nobody can explain why.

I totally agree that unit tests for bug prevention in new code are overrated. I mainly like them because they 1. Encourage decoupled code and 2. Make future refactoring easier especially in dynamically typed languages.
Not having other tests is a huge mistake. I think I'm spoiled because I've spent my entire career at places that cared deeply about testing and proper TDD.

Well, good job at assuming incorrectly. You wouldn't know by my comment that I've been in the space since '11, or that I've contributed to the codebase (however slightly).

Nope, you just see a completely pragmatic view of Ver's actions as an attack, probably formed on the r/btc sub (that he mods).

I think one aspect of that newness is how much more intensely international and 24/7 the crypto game is. That makes it both more vast and more terrifying. I don't have numbers to back up my claim; I just know that the cryptos have immense capital invested/speculated into it from all corners of the world (but seemingly mostly the U.S. and Asia?), it runs on a 24/7 operation and the exchanges are pretty internationally dispersed. How does this compare to the NYSE, in terms of trading hours (09:30-16:00 ET), listed securities and overall accessibility? How much more capital can be pumped (and/or coins dumped) given time spans, lack of 'circuit breakers', and so forth?

There's something about that aspect that I am sure is making this phenomenon potentially wilder than the Dot Com crash of 2001.

Seems like a bit of a double-edged sword to me. On one hand, it becomes less likely that a single party or exploit would be able to damage the entire ecosystem (because distinct currencies aren't likely to have exactly the same flaws). On the other hand, AFAIK, smaller networks are generally easier to attack, making it more feasible that it will happen.
>I don't think that's true at all. I think the main thing for young people to learn is that being frugal, avoding luxuries, is probably more important to financial well being than earning a lot of money. Also that as your income rises you need to be aware of (and fight against) the natural urge to spend (and often waste) more money. Need to fight against the urge to "spend what you earn" and develop habit of saving money every paycheck.

My being 28, sorry, but I wouldn't call this good advice. My dominant expense is and always has been rent. I can cut everything else to the bone, and it won't make half as much impact on my savings rate as finding a way to just live somewhere less obscenely expensive -- and yet having work for me to do.
A straw man for what? Once your net worth reaches a certain level, it would be silly to let it sit in any one asset, whether that's a specific currency or commodity or whatever.

Diversifying with a deflationary asset like Bitcoin is a wise strategy, one that is likely responsible for its $160B market cap.

I've been trying to cut back on FB recently (and HN, though with a bit less success...), and I've found that just filtering out high-volume posters helps a lot.

If most of your friends only post once a week or so you might just see 5 or 10 posts in a day. And usually it's somewhat interesting.

Not having the app and staying logged out by default also helps. I'll just scroll through facebook once every couple of days now, instead of the old "10 times a day". And I don't feel like I'm missing much except for being a bit late to reply to event invites.

I'll second the point about creating a hub. I've pushed my personal site + blog to the first page for my name using this technique.

https://www.google.com/search?q=Taylor+Edmiston&ie=UTF-8&oe=...

I link back to it from everywhere, especially my social profiles.

The blog is more important in terms of content, so I'm planning to transition to that being my main hub with everything else as a profile page on that site eventually.

I also previously had the rest of the first page with my social profiles until someone with the same name as me got arrested and convicted of murder, and that press sunk my links to page two. On top of that, another person with the same name is getting married and their marriage sites are ahead too but I think that's temporary and they'll sink afterwards. I've started including my middle initial in social profiles which helps differentiate.

A lot of this devolves to discovering that you can't remember more than you can remember, that you do indeed "feel" your mood just as we've talked about since the dawn of time, and other ways in which what we think is limited by the machinery we use to do processing.

There are a wide variety of health care systems in other first world countries that are not single payer systems that don't have spending that is vastly higher than the countries that have single payer systems. For instance, Switzerland and the Netherlands both have mandatory private health insurance, similar to the way ACA was designed to work. Germany's system is based on a public option rather than being purely single payer.

I think instituting a single payer system in the US would be a good first step, but it is unlikely to completely solve our problems.
Thanks for taking the time to lay that out. I disagree with you about taxes thing, but I think what we have is a difference of opinion; I don't think your position is provably wrong. I hope you will grant that my position, that it can be just for the state to levy taxes for social programs and other programs, is also a valid opinion, and it is also not provably wrong.

This may sound like copping out of the argument, but I don't think that's it. This is accepting that my political opinions are not the only valid positions, and I welcome disagreement and discussion.

My dad had this calculator in the 70s. He was an engineer for the local power utility and told me that before getting the HP-35 he would submit calculations at the computer center and get his results back about a week later. With the calculator he could run his computations immediately, at his desk. It was life changing, at least in the context of his work.

It was one of the more expensive small things he owned so he never left it at his desk, carrying it around in his jacket pocket (engineers wore suits to work in the 70s). He told me he also got a reputation for this, since it was such a unique thing to be carrying around.
A high market cap (for wealth transfer bandwith and lower volatility), high hash-rate (for security) and large number of people willing to accept it as money (for conversion use) also give it value. Hence it isn't exactly true that you can just copy it, these other network effect metrics matter.

The man pages for Linux kernel internals and syscalls are pretty good stuff like, inotify, procfs etc all have really good detailed man pages. The userland stuff is a different story. I think it is because BSD doesn't distinguish userland from kernel they are all shipped in the same package so manual pages are probably kept more consistent. Linux uses stuff like GNU etc for a lot of userland tools so it is more of a mixed bag different community different developers etc.

I think crypto code is a bad example. This[1] would not be considered "idiomatic" anywhere, except in crypto.
