I walk my dog before and after (occasionally during) my working day - usually five hours per day five days per week. Exercise, fresh air, quiet with the odd chat to fellow walkers.

It makes working from home enjoyable and a bit more sociable. I do one day a week from a co-working space, too.
the FF 57 team would say that you should check about:performance, and then report a bug if there are consistent perf issues.
Very much agree. I think seven years sounds excessive though. Two or three years would be enough to get the point across for most people.
Yes; if you can prove a system was built atop an academically sound paradigm, it's more likely to adhere to the guarantees that paradigm is intended to provide than a system built atop an unproven paradigm. Kinda goes without saying, though. :P

Unsnarkily, I agree that implementation and composition of CRDTs is comparatively straightforward compared with other approaches people have taken. But if correct behavior is a requirement, full testing is too, regardless of how easy it -should- be in theory.

... which still wouldn't fix this problem, because the initializer is not a required parameter. It's allowed to be omitted by design, to signify that the first element shall be skipped and never passed as the second arg to the callback—or to put it another way, instead of being called once for each element, it's meant to handle the gaps between elements.
That's great feedback! I might add a 500 and 1000 threshold too. Thanks!

I question whether the author has actually played Starcraft. It's clearly vastly more complicated from an AI perspective than games like Chess or Go, and this has been obvious for some time.
I don't disagree with the reasoning: The Earth would be much healthier, there would be no suffering, the "Universe" wouldn't care.

But for good or bad, we humans have an inherent drive to procreate and survive. I think while his question/answer might be correct in a vacuum, it misses the point.

Now that we're already here and can't consciously stop existing, how do we best move forward and maximize collective utility and minimize suffering and our damage to our habitat?

Neither getting up at 5am or daily meditation are all that rare or difficult. And if you take perfection out of the equation, as you should, then aiming to do them 80-90% of the time makes it even easier.

I’m a natural night owl, but I routinely (80-90% of the time) go to bed early and get up at 4am. It’s really not that hard.

Get a blood test first so you know your Vitamin D level (they're cheap: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15869485), maybe you already get enough from your diet.

If you do need supplementation, then Vitamin D3 (specifically Cholecalciferol) is vastly better absorbed than Vitamin D2. If you want a specific recommendation, buy this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07234TTCC and take it twice per week (Sunday & Thursday for example), that'll average to about 1400 IU per day.
In general, it's probably reasonable to have a per-transaction fee and a percentage fee for this sort of thing. Because of batching of transactions, it doesn't really line up with credit card processing charges but presumably Patreon has some costs that are effectively per-transaction: infrastructure, dispute resolution, credit card transactions (loosely), etc.

I have no opinion if these new fees are "fair" ones whatever that means. They certainly bias against small donations though. It's not even so much who pays the fees. I see the psychological elements. But I assume a lot of creators (and patrons) would be just as upset if the creators were now only seeing 62 cents out of every dollar with the rest going to "hidden" fees.

For those curious on what the "original 13th amendment" was:

>That "missing" proposal was called the “Titles of Nobility Amendment” (or TONA). It sought to ban any American citizen from receiving any foreign title of nobility or receiving foreign favors, such as a pension, without congressional approval. The penalty was loss of citizenship.

> If you can't predict how much of the asset you will need to pay your bills next month, it's not a currency

Back in the hyperinflation days, we couldn't predict how many Cr$ we would need to pay our bills in the next month. That didn't keep it from being a currency.
You might be bored.
But only up to a certain point: the tax is only on the first 50k EUR or so of your salary, and there is a minimum charged (about 100 EUR/mo.) no matter how little you make.

Still fairer than the US, though.
> We can see that the scheme that uses sequential batching actually performs worse than the CPU alone, whereas the new approach using DuHL achieves a 10× speed-up over the CPU.

I had to get down to the graph to realize they're talking about SVM, not deep learning.

This could be pretty cool. Training a SVM has usually been "load ALL the data and go", and sequential implementations are almost non-existent. Even if this was 1x or 0.5x speed and didn't require the entire dataset at once it's a big win.

Just some notes: Using an bicycle that isn't yours is illegal even if it supposedly was left there by a thief, at least here. In a similar way it is legal to buy protection from someone if you feel you have a need to, that right is questionable. Private security is much more mob like than taxes IMHO.

I think the ideas of anti-taxation is often hypocritical, too often you see people critize tax cuts that do not serve their other beliefs. Mind you, this is not an argument against tax cuts, I just think anti taxation is an pipedream.

If life isn't worth creating, why is it worth preserving? Why not take this to the logical conclusion of voluntary total extinction? Furthermore, how could one even discuss good or bad without a frame of reference?
That's an easy answer on paper, not so in practice.
You feel miserable. Why? Also, try getting a solid routine. An accountability buddy who you meet with every day at the same time. Perhaps you feel miserable because it is a battle every day, rather than a mindless routine. When you wake up, get up. Don't go back to bed. Get up and make coffee. You can always take a nap later, but eventually, you'll get used to waking up only once. Go watch the sun rise if you wake up too early. Trust that when you wake up, you should just get up.

It follows the path of Turbo Vision, OWL and VCL.

Where productivity comes first, and C style tricks are only done when performance really matters.

Many C++ APIs suffered from std not being rich enough, and lots of Cisms in the early days.

Nowadays with all major OS vendors switching to safer languages for the UI layer, Qt seems to be the last C++ GUI framework in widespread usage.

I don't understand this sentiment. I bought a new gaming PC last week and not only did I use Bitcoin to do so, but I specifically chose Newegg because they supported Bitcoin payments.
Again I saw all the oppressions that are practised under the sun. Look, the tears of the oppressed—with no one to comfort them! On the side of their oppressors there was power—with no one to comfort them. And I thought the dead, who have already died, more fortunate than the living, who are still alive; but better than both is the one who has not yet been, and has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun.

I used Google Express for the first time over the Black Friday-Cyber Monday period and I was quite impressed. There are still a few rough edges, but I was impressed. The website definitely functions better than Amazons, and shopping from multiple major retailers was a nice change of pace from Amazon's monopolized marketplace.
I agree with your first point, but:

> Also if you're driving a vehicle you own you're already not among the poorest folks out there.

Is an incorrect notion. Poor people don't not drive (how could they not, to drive across the city from their not-served-by-public-transit residence to their minimum-wage job?), they drive shitty cars. Certainly, I owned a vehicle out of necessity when a $40 expense would have been unthinkable for me. That's half a days' wages for many people. 2.5% of your month's income is a LOT, especially after spending half of it on housing.

Sure, you're correct that the destitute don't own cars, but there's a large swath of the population more well-off than "destitute" but not so well-off as to be able to ever spend $40 on something that is not an absolute necessity.
If it is some fake currency, say, HOV-credits, that is distributed on a monthly basis, equally, to everyone, then to a first approximation, you're providing for equivalence in capacity to pay. You can choose to spend, or not spend, your HOV-credits, on any given day.

This also offers the opportunity for rationing, as it's possible to increase or decrease the allocations based on net usage.

If the credits expire after some time, say a few months, then there's the ability to bank them, but not indefinitely. This is not a form of perpetual wealth accumulation.

The argument could be made for either making the credits transferable, so that those less wealthy in other regards could sell them for other units of trade, or not, and/or to set limits on such transactions.

All of this occurs independent of actual currency, though there would be an overall budget to the programme.

And it accomplishes the goal of setting an opportunity cost to highway travel, and congestion, which could itself be varied according to circumstances (higher charges at peak hours / during high-congestion events, lower off-peak or when uncongested).

Then there's the question of interactions with alternative transit, telecommute, or similar schemes.

When Slack on iOS hangs when I am trying to switch channels — or I get irregularly delayed notifications.. or glitching when trying to copy paste.

Slack for iOS is pretty terrible in terms of stability and quality.

Writing an actual native app in Swift isn’t that hard and they’re Slack — one would think they could afford to hire the proper developers.

It’s hoghly irritating when I’m a paying customer of a fairly big tech company and they think saving money on pseudo-native for iOS is ok. They think it’s ok to provide a shitty “near native” experience in the name of crosss platform. iOS and Android are different systems. They have different devices; it’s ridiculous to ship the same app.

it would be interesting to know how stolon/patroni deal with the failover edge cases and how this impacts availability. like if you accessing the DB but can't contact etcd/consul then you should stop accessing the DB because you might start doing unsafe writes. but this means that consul/etcd is now a point of failure (though, this usually runs multiple nodes so shouldn't happen!). but you can end up in a situation where bugs/issues with the HA system ends up causing you more downtime than manual failover would cause.

you also have to be careful with ensuring there is sufficient time gaps when failing over to cover the case when the master is not really down and connections are still writing to it. like the patroni default haproxy config doesn't even seem to kill live connections which seems kind of risky.

Following his logic, "life is a net negative" has no reason to be limited to humans. Under this level of nihilistic anti-life sentiment, "Children damage the environment" is thus an argument in favor of having children, and damaging the environment as much as possible in general (in ways other than having children). Humans may suffer but at least we are pre-empting as many other life forms as possible, so by damaging the environment we are altruistically taking the suffering on to ourselves. Under this logic, extinction of all life on Earth would be an ideal, one that he probably doesn't consider only because it's relatively infeasible at this time.

This is some seriously toxic shit. This is not a call for environmentalism, this is its exact opposite, driving all known life to extinction, watered down only slightly by claiming to not want to actually kill anyone or anything currently alive. However, I find the philosophical bulwark protecting that slight watering down to be very weak, very contingent on a particular assignment of utility that will not be shared by everybody else, and if this philosophy were to spread widely, likely to fail to hold that line utterly.
Gun shows are a convenient way to find a bunch of private sellers to easily exploit the deliberately created hole in the law.

Sure, you can call it the "private sale loophole" if you want. Go for it. The agonizing over the semantic merits of the "gun show" part of the term is the same tactic as turning any gun argument into a debate over "clip vs. magazine" or "there's no such thing as an assault rifle" stuff - intentional missing of the point to derail a necessary conversation. Might even call that "dishonest rhetoric".

Yes, the abstract. One sentence cites a result suggesting that 8895 IU/d is necessary to reach >= 50nmol/L and the next another that 6201 IU/d is necessary to reach 75 nmol/L. Clearly these aren't compatible to even 1 significant figure. Now, of course this is a matter of accuracy and not of precision, but do you really believe someone's 4 sig figs of precision is at all justified when they disagree with another person's 4 sig figs to such an extent? It's possible, I guess! But I'm betting if you look at the original study you only have 1 or maybe 2 significant figures that are actually justified.

Look further at the paper where the 8895 number comes from [1]. That's the only number reported to more than 2 sig figs in the paper and comes in this context [emphasis mine]: "It also estimated that 8895 IU of vitamin D per day may be needed to accomplish that 97.5% of individuals achieve serum 25(OH)D values of 50 nmol/L or more. As this dose is far beyond the range of studied doses, caution is warranted when interpreting this estimate. Regardless, the very high estimate illustrates that the dose is well in excess of the current RDA of 600 IU per day and the tolerable upper intake of 4000 IU per day [1]." The two figures don't even show half the range needed to see this value and make it pretty clear that this is a laughable amount of precision to report. To make this clear: the value reported is the intercept of the dashed red line with the 50nmol/L line in the second figure -- which has been extrapolated out to a value almost three times as large as the highest dose used in any experiment. And the extrapolation is done on a curve that is getting very close to level at that point so even a minor error in dose response would cause a large error in reported dose. Frankly, after looking at this, I don't think the originally posted article should have quoted this number in its abstract - the point of this paper seems to be to show that the standard value of 600 IU/day is unsupported form the data, not to suggest that their 8895 IU/day is well supported.

Consider the most well-studied nutritional number we ever see: the daily caloric intake! It's never given more than 2 sig figs and often just 1! And this study is making the argument that the daily recommendations for this are off by a factor of 10x. It'll take a lot to convince me that any number in nutrition can be reported to 4 significant figures, and even then I expect that it would be useless since inter-person variation is going to cause at least a 1% difference (probably more like 25% differences like calories just for men/women differences).

I was recommended Vitamin D by the wife of a Chiropractor. I do 2000IU somewhat daily to every other day in the winter & 5000IU if I feel a cold coming on with some extra zinc. This has made a significant improvement in my ability to fend off colds. That said, I do try to exercise a few times a week & eat as reasonably healthy as one can do in the far north midwest of America.
Er, the single-parameter version of reduce differs from the two-parameter version in that the semantics are changed to literally skip the callback invocation where the first element gets passed as x. Instead of being called n times, it gets called n-1 times. It's one of the most clear-cut manifestations of fences vs posts—the quintessential off-by-one problem.

The influence of the 11's indexing [Bell] versus the 8 on C/Unix abounds, whatever your perspective on 'Macro' move instructions, they were certainly the obvious follow on rage, witness the Movc3/Movc5 in the Vax.

I revered the 11, had Qbus machines which could be assembled with superior 3rd party components in places, scattered through my apt/basement as a student from the 23 through the j11 all the way up to a MV2.

Everything since has been anticlimactic :)
