I think you are confusing 1-1 meetings with meetings between two people, because the author used “1-1” to describe the second.

A 1-1 is the name commonly used for a standing meeting between an employee and their manager, primarily used to allow employee to vent/discuss issues important to them.

Having a meeting with one person to discuss project status is also technically a 1-1 meeting because, it’s just two people. Obviously in them the manager should listen to the employee, but the meeting is going to be directed by the manager. You can’t just say, “how’s the project going” and let them filibuster.
I think it's telling that parent says "we can change anything" and you went to "just tr[ying] harder". This is what many of my students do (I'm doing poorly in math, I need to just try harder, but trying harder doesn't help, so I must be bad at math, so I'll do something else). My observation about these students is that they are not very good at learning math -- that is, the techniques they use to study are not appropriate to the task -- and so trying harder indeed does not help.

Trying to assemble Ikea furniture using only a spoon also does not succumb to "just trying harder" but no one paints that as a moral failing.

We must continually learn new skills appropriate to our situation, not just try harder. This is a theme even in ancient history and religion, but it's still true. When it comes to being organized it was a revelation to me to read Marie Kondo's book and Organizing Solutions for People with Attention Deficit Disorder: between the two of them, I realized that I could build my living space to facilitate being neat or organized, working with my brain rather than "just trying harder" to be neat.

It is not good to be lazy, but I think we sometimes teach people that some topics are just hard for some people and so you might as well give up because trying harder won't help. No, sometimes your math teacher or textbook actually suck; sometimes your living space is organized for a different kind of brain; sometimes you're depressed because you're eating an allergen every day or because your manager truly is terrible and there are things you can do to change it without trying harder.

Do agree with, "We're all different, I'm glad this worked for you but it doesn't necessarily follow that your approach would help others," and that applies to my comment as well.
See, expressive I totally get. Absolutely. But elegance? Don’t understand that one.

Ruby is a cluster of inelegant and over concise cludges in the name of expressivity. The fact that it was once most famous for one of the most inelegant hacks - monkey patching - as a core feature speaks to that.

So I totally understand that it’s quick, it’s expressive, and it’s easy to prototype in. Agreed. It’s lost a lot of it’s shine there now but it’s all still true.

But elegant? It’s concise, not elegant.
I'm aware of that bit, I just think they're an ugly piece of control flow inside JSX, and they're also not a particularly versatile piece of control flow.

Especially for the else-if case - you end up with repetitive conditionals to replicate that.
You can see that principle at work in the interrogation of Reality Winner. https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000015e-c5e7-ddab-a57f-cfe7d...
The ancient greeks where geometericists not algebraists, so for them the existence of a line was equivalent to the existence of what algebraists think of as a number. A square with unit length had a diagonal, and hence sqrt(2) existed. However, despite the name "Pythagoras' Theorem", sqrt(2) was traumatic for Pythagoras because he wanted to be believe in a rational universe, that is, one in which everything (distance of planets, musical harmonies and many other things) could be expressed as a ratio of whole numbers (rational). And then, damit, the simplest possible example, a unit square, threw a monkey wrench into the works! I have read that Pythagoreans were forbidden from talking about numbers like sqrt(2) (or from eating green beans).

It’s a serious disability. No one should say otherwise.

If you have an iOS 11 device, Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Color Filters is really amazingly useful for one key reason:

It’s a live filter for anything shown on the display, including the camera app. So you can hold up your phone facing the chart and see it adjusted for your personal variant of color blindness, or take a photo and then zoom in and study it.

And if anyone gives you flak about it, explain what’s up. It’ll seem like black magic to them, and then maybe they’ll fix their palettes someday :)
Honestly, that sounds like a nightmare to me!

> And that is exactly the opposite of what a land title database is.

It's exactly what it is where I live. When you purchase property both parties log in with their state issued digital id to sign the transfer of ownership.

This isn't done by blockchain in Denmark, which means the nationstate owns and operates the system with little openness. NOT a problem in one of the least corrupt countries in the World, but it might as well have been done through blockchain and in 20 years I imagine that it will.
It is a file manager; not something that would require wiki pages to explain what it does. man pages are sufficient in this regard to look at finer details.
It's cool. To be quite honest all of these words are so charged and poisoned that it's hard to use them and successfully communicate with someone whomst doesn't share the same frame of reference.
I mostly agree, however regarding the bus accident the problem is that AI out of the box has to be way better than the human in order to gain widespread acceptance. That means it needs to be able to make tough calls, and do it better than the humans it is meant to replace (or complement). The description of the incident in particular shows why self-driving AIs have such a long way to go.
I stand by my assertion regarding the use of force, just as poachers of endangered animals should be shot on sight (with proper signage around the kill box of course; “This preserve is off limits to humans without prior approval. The use of lethal force at all times is authorized”).

Diplomacy is apathy by committee. If governments do not act, private citizens must. We only get one Earth.

My father's a lifelong Lotus Seven enthusiast, so I've heard this before. I'm afraid that when you drive something like a new Corvette or 911 Turbo, it bends your mind in some completely new ways. I don't think I'd buy one even if I could, but if my goal was to keep the occasional passenger entertained, something like that would be a nearly ideal tool.

There's no denying the Miata is an absolute gem. I am very happy that it is still made in this era of overpowered, huge cars and rocket-powered hatchbacks. Sacrilege: I know two different people who have shoehorned American V8s into early Miatas. Somehow I haven't driven that beast yet. I'm still not quite sure how it's even possible.

> Admittedly it does help if your country has roads with corners, which I understand may be hard to come by in some parts of the US.

On the other hand, you're at a great disadvantage in terms of population density. Finding a quiet road seems like it'd be a bit of a trick.
> avoid div instructions in favour of floating point multiply.

NB - >>[Taking this question out of context]<< - looks like the answer is "no". From a quick test:

- intel Broadwell: 64-bit integer div is fastest, float div is 69% slower, float mul is 50% slower;

- AMD Ryzen: 64-bit integer div is fastest, float div is 47% slower, float mul is 60% slower;

- ARM11 (Raspberry Zero): 64-bit integer div is fastest, float div is 138% slower, float mul is 159% slower.

Because powerthirsty psychopaths have social needs too. What is it worth to rule a small kingdom, if nobody lives, suffers and does your bidding in this kingdom. Being the CEO in a lightsout factory, is beeing the janitor.

Shopping is probably the least interesting thing to do when in New York. There's virtually nothing in stores in New York that you cannot find elsewhere. The experiences though - the Metropolitan, Broadway etc are without peer
It's DRM. That's why you see 4k available in edge (where they use special CPU instructions for secure enclave - that's why requirement of newer i7 CPU) while 720p only in Chrome.

I guess the discrepancy between what I expected the article to be, based on the title, and what it actually was is a good reflection on the fact that development of these types of services is no longer built from first principles, low level to high level, but is rather constructed like a building from a set of abstracted lego pieces.
Its not an anecdote. Have you spent any time in NYC?

Why do I need to search for numbers comparing brick and mortar vs online? Of course online retail is growing faster than brick and mortar but the topic here is New York City which is an outlier. NYC is a shopping destination for US, international and tri-state area tourists.

People come to NYC specifically so they can shop along the retail corridors of Broadway in Midtown, Soho, Nolita and the Meat Packing Districts, The Flatiron and many others. It's seen as an experience since you can walk, shop and see landmarks like Rockefeller Center, The Empire State building, Grand Central while you do so.

Hmm. I'm not convinced any of your routines are more "high-performance" than the standard-library, have you benchmarked them?

For example, I don't think your getorder() could possibly be faster than __builtin_ctz(), or even a wrapper around ffs(). You also hardcoded the size of size_t to 32 bits, so it's not more portable than those options.

Edit: I checked, ffs is a tiny branch-free routine in glibc:

(gdb) disassemble ffs
Dump of assembler code for function ffsl:
0x0007e9d0 <+0>:	mov $0xffffffff,%edx
0x0007e9d5 <+5>:	bsf 0x4(%esp),%eax
0x0007e9da <+10>:	cmove %edx,%eax
0x0007e9dd <+13>:	add $0x1,%eax
0x0007e9e0 <+16>:	ret
End of assembler dump.
It's false logic to assume that ending the killing of whales will lead to the International Community's condemnation of killing fish as well. Killing large game mammals is an entirely separate concern when compared to killing fish and other species that are used for sustenance and to feed the population. If the Japanese government is to acquiesce on this issue I do not feel as though the government should have concerns about pressure on other types of marine life that is seized for sustenance all over the world.

We should all come together as globsl citizens of this planet and make an agreement on what is safe to capture so we can protect and manage the sea as one international community. Being an outlier and killing these mammals as brutally as it is done is not a position Japan's government and the people who elect that government should be willing to accept.
My beef was not more like "who did it first", I honestly don't know and I couldn't find a reference online of anyone did something like this at this scale before google/youtube/akamai.

The Point is the global scale of this on-premise network and the amount of data they move. I think Netflix is a blip compare to youtube/google/Akamai/facebook (I recently learned facebook also has a similar program, but I think they also use Akamai), on a global scale. I didn't like that glossed on over this as if Netflix is doing something exceptional or even unique. Obviously, it takes some serious engineering chops scale this amount of traffic globally and routes the traffic through on-premise nodes. But at this point, it's not exceptional - if anything its commodity.
LibriVox is nice for some things, but almost every book I've tried to listen to from there had untrained amateurish narrators and editors with poor recording quality. I find them pretty hard to listen to compared to professionally produced books. IMO, a much better alternative if you're looking for free audiobooks is your local lending library. In the US you can often access library audiobook collections on your phone or computer with OverDrive.
Couldn't this be an opt-in feature? For some people, this might be a reasonable trade-off given their threat model

Sure and that's incredibly useful for event and documentary film making.

When it comes to cinema _movies_ (while it's true the EOS C300 Mark II has dual pixel AF) there will be a focus puller.

Relying on AF will end up biting your ass on a film set. Auto-focus doesn't know about the aesthetic of the film, only that something (a face) is in focus.

On (movie) sets the cinematographer will be making those decisions, not AF; while it does, "...[enable] the user to see if they are focused in front of or behind the subject through visual observation, [allowing] quick and accurate manual focus to be achieved" it should only be used in movie making as a tool and not a crutch.

You're technically correct on the existence of AF in the C300 MII.

Edit: Cine cameras are beginning to delve into AF but it is not replacing a focus puller anytime soon.
I think he’s talking about both the traditional 1:1 as well as ad hoc meetings where the “mostly listening” mandate is absent. I agree with him that the vast majority of large meetings should be emails in an ideal world. In Trump’s America though only about half of people read their work emails and follow up on action items in them, and often later than would be ideal for anything time sensitive. Theoretically doing all 1:1s for that communication is only about 2x as expensive as one big meeting, but it takes much longer to organize and execute.
> I think a small business is when you know the business model can work and have moved on to long-term execution. Until then you are a startup.

I disagree slightly. A small business is one where the founders have a particular business model in mind, regardless if it's feasibility. If the business model is wrong, the business folds; it doesn't pivot. Until I was introduced to the startup community this was my sole understanding of "starting a business".
So you click on it. It worked.

Support exists, red hat and other foundations.

>On a SSD? Very unlikely, unless you're upgrading to a major version. True, Microsoft could make most of these updates being applied whilst OS is still online.

I just upgraded 6 systems over Christmas, every one to SSD, all running core i5/i7 with more than 8gb ram. Yes, 30-60 minutes for the fall creators update on half of them, one of them took 2 hours to finish other updates.

>You can schedule these reboots if you got Pro. macOS also sometimes needs to reboot btw. My Android reboots every week (LOS) for new firmware.

Once in a while I need to reboot osx or linux for a kernel update or other deep system update. Every time I need to reboot windows. The difference is staggering and in no way does the occasional restart from linux compare to windows. To pretend they're even in the same league is ridiculous. Windows 10 barely fixed that by moving a features to apps.

>Depends if you view it from the eyes of a power user or a casual user. The non-technical user just wants something which works ie. a good UI. App Store and Play Store provide that. Those non-technical users don't give a rat about features like "get packages from these sources, not those, blacklist this version".

Reasonable point, however non-technical users do want to be able to find their software. Microsofts store sucks compared to apple and androids from my experience, and the vast majority of non-technical users still don't use it for many/most of their software installs from numbers I've seen. That may be changing, i'm not sure the trends. My point was in linux, you're advanced enough to use the package manager and you probably know how to add sources as a casual user. In microsoft its a walled garden, and a shitty garden.

Beyond that, casual users don't want to be spied on, just because they aren't technical enough to understand whats happening and the implications does not mean microsoft should just get a 'pass' on making it difficult/impossible to disable spying on their users. This is, if anything, significantly worse if you're looking at it primarily from the casual user side which you seem to insist on.
Tagerting Ads Without Creeping Out Your Customers
There is a principle, i believe parts of Apple do it, that whoever calls a meeting is responsible for

- providing an agenda describing the purpose to attendees

- taking notes

- distributing action items after meeting identifying responsible parties for each item

That way the meeting justifies its existence. The agenda explains why it’s necessary (or it doesn’t and people push back). Something is actually decided, the decision is tracked/communicated and if things don’t happen everyone knows who was responsible.
It's not really fair to make a comparison between react with JSX and vue without webpack. In practice you use webpack for making components with separated js/html/css, so Vue ends up looking a lot better than the above. That's actually the big draw for me, organization into single file components which can be parsed as simple html. The js component structure is just another piece of that. You're passing vue a template for creating components in an organized/standard way. You can define your own render function if you want the freedom, but you start out with something clean and well organized.

Vue is definitely doing things behind the scenes, but it's nothing all that complicated.

I wouldn't say it's hoisting. It uses the data function to create component instance objects which it then adds the template's computed props/methods/watchers etc on to, and links with the life cycle hooks.

If you created the component object yourself instead of a definition for it, there would be less magic going on for sure, but things would be much less organized.

(Minor: I don't use vue without webpack, but I assume data should be a function which returns a data instance, so what you've written won't work in Vue unless it's different for the top level component?)
There are extensions that do some of those things.

By custom, Greek letters usually mean different things than letters of Latin alphabet. And also it's customary that certain letters in Latin alphabet are used for specific things.

For example, Latin letter 'x' usually means a variable of interest / data point. Latin letter 'a' could be instead a constant or variable that is thought to be fixed for the time being.

If you want more unknown variables in addition to 'x', you can use y, z, maybe w, but if you want more than that you are out of letters and are often better off with super/subscripting (if it makes sense in the context), because a, b, c, d would be interpreted as constants. Especially in statistics/ML x is reserved as symbol for the independent variable and y is reserved as symbol for the dependent variable; z, w are common for latent variables. f,g,h are common shorthands for functions.

i,j are double-booked as an "arbitrary index symbol" or imaginary units. k,m,n are also constants, and often reserved specifically as constants that denote the dimensionality or sequence lengths (m times n matrix, sums x_1 + ... + x_n, sequences (x_1, ..., x_n), etc). (k can be also be an index in addition to i and j.) o is easily confused with 0 or a circle that is usually a function composition sign (I usually see the letter o only in the CS small-o-notation context, rendered in fancy typeface). p,q,k are again constants or sometimes alternative indices in complicated sums where i and j are not enough, but from p to v you have relatively underused letters. However, they are not totally "free" either: s and t and r and l are again common symbols for scalar variables like length or time or rotation; in statistics, p often is reserved for probabilities (conditional probability of x given m is p(x|m) etc). In linear algebra u and v can be arbitrary vectors, or unit vectors, or in complex analysis they are real / imaginary parts of a complex valued function.

Upper case letters are reserved for matrices and operations or (especially consonants like K or C) sometimes again constants.

In other fields things might go differently, but the general gist is that I do often feel like the alphabet is not enough.

Most often Greek letters get quite much use when you need symbols for angles or rotations (for example, Fourier transformation pairs) or as (hyper)parameters of probability distributions.
I just tried today's daily Windows x64 installer, and Windows Defender is blocking it, reporting that it's infected with "Trojan:Win32/Fuerboos.D!cl"

I mostly agree, but if we want to be pedantic, this didn't regress something so much as fix horrible performance for 90% of apps and introduced a previous non-existent bug into certain applications due to a non-thread safe bug.

The solution itself turned out to be simple enough, and the time it took to fix is definitely not excusable considering the effort vs impact IMO.
Yup, as an ISP owner, I can tell you 70-75% of my traffic come through GGC, for every 1gbps traffic from cache nodes 100mbps on average is pulled from the internet. Even with GGC nodes, it's still very expensive, BW-wise.
Charities are the exact opposite of what a generous society is, though. There should be no need for charity (or elderly people working) in a wealthy country. Charities should be for helping third worlders.
I'm a big fan of the android tts. A bit robotic, with quite a few prosodic errors (which is simple to get used to), but so convenient. No need to hunt for audiobooks - actually in most languages the size of the audibook market is rather poor...

I can switch easily from audio to reading, e.g. listening while walking to the bus, and if I get a seat then switch to read, and then back to listening etc...

We don't have the case of integer div. And if you take a look into the coolsize() func we don't re-compute the factor. So it's not very significant.

To get the size of a file we multiply only once with this factor.

What is significant is the while() loop where the iterations increase with the file size. There's no mul or div in it giving the API a reasonable performance benefit.
