Tech.

I live in Marin County CA. The new tech money is staggering.

They are buying multiple homes--new cars. The increase in traffic is very noticeable.

Every vacant room is rented out, and they are paying. My new neighbor is home on the weekends, with his tech wife/business partner/girlfriend. I know they are in tech because of lingo that floats into my room when they are yacking on their porch.

The dude across the street, who used to operate a back hoe, is telling everyone he can yell at, "Hay--I'm Front End Developer! Hay you--I'm in blah, blah." (He's just so proud, very lonely, and seemingly neeeds to get around people soon? I think working from home is getting to him. Do I care? He was a professional Troll before he got his dream job. You have no idea.)

I used to think it was Chinese money, but I think it's VC money?

It's quite a Party. I've never seen anything quite like it. On a selfish note, I'll be glad when it bursts.

The traffic has got to me, plus they like to complain. I don't have a beautiful house.

Such activism rarely makes the news.

Searching "students city hall" on Google News finds that it's dominated by gun control. However, http://www.hannibal.net/news/20180223/city-council-members-a... gives:

> Ellen Stuhlman’s PACE students took an active role in city government and watched as Palmyra City Council members unanimously approved an ordinance pertaining to items blocking city streets and sidewalks.

and https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/education/article/Gay-...

> Mississippi State University students Bailey McDaniel and Emily Turner filed the federal lawsuit Monday against the city of Starkville, asking a judge to overrule the city and immediately grant a parade permit to Starkville Pride.

While you now specify "local/municipal issues", the original essay included state issues, and the UC Davis Occupy mace incident concerned state tuition fees.

Again, why do you think Millennials are somehow notable in this perceived lack, rather than "20 year olds in general, as have been for generations"?

There's a sort of template that some people follow, once they get old and forget what it was like to be young. They complain about how lazy kids are these days and how when they were young things were better. Stick in a few bits of youth slang (like 'woke'), purport to highlight some contradictions, and poof, you're done.

It's why we have pieces now about Millennials eating avocado sandwiches instead of buying cars or moving away from home. When really it's that food distribution has made avocados cheaper, while post-war car-centric urban design - based as it is on cheap oil and constant growth - is breaking apart, and the cost of an education has skyrocketed as states pull back funding in order to give tax breaks to the rich.

But those are details for Millennials. Go back a generation and you'll see the same thing. Remember, the Boomers called Generation X a bunch of slackers.

All this essay did was hook into the boring complaint template that old people have made of young people for 1000s of years.

And no, it isn't only made by old people. I don't know your motivations for not even mentioning that real-world activism that your generation has done. Perhaps you are practicing to be a NYT Op-Ed columnist, sucking up to the rich, powerful, ... and old?
This amendment feels so random, tho. Why firearms and not other weapons? Why not general means of defense?

A friend of a friend spoke about getting pregnant and having a baby. For the entire duration up until the baby's birth, she worried because she didn't have any strong feelings. The moment the baby was delivered, something inside her said "This! This is what I was made for!". And then an hour later the feeling passed.

Her kids seem to have automatically adjusted to her condition, being more vocal when they need something, or something is wrong (otherwise she wouldn't know).

The movie "Snow Cake" does a pretty good job describing some of the challenges.

That collection is a series of lectures from Feynman, and his characteristic clarity, on physics across the breadth of all major topics. It's quite amazing to realize how little you, in general, truly understand even really basic concepts like the conservation laws until you read the writings of a person who did genuinely understand what he was talking about and could share that insight in such a uniquely effective way.
I've lightly skimmed this book in the past and got an impression that it is a collection of intros to bunch of subjects. For those who read it thoroughly - do you think this book is useful for experienced devs who are aware/knowledgeable (from other sources) in most (or all) of the subjects mentioned? Or maybe this book is aimed for more beginners, e.g. as a second book after SICP or similar?
>>and maybe no internet connection.

Even the top notch devs I know can't do anything meaningful without an internet connection. Unless of course you know how to invent several layers of libraries, instantly in hours without bugs. Know the documentation of the libraries memorized to the last full stop.

In my exposure at least I know 0 devs who can do this. And I'd bet even the interviewer wouldn't be able to write any meaningful without a network connection. This isn't 1960s. By very definition almost anything today requires an internet connection.

>This amendment feels so random, tho. Why firearms and not other weapons?

But it does cover other weapons. You can own as my knives as you want. The exact text is "the right to keep and bear arms". Firearms isn't specified.

>prohibition was an amendment, what made that thing negociable?

It wasn't negotiable. There was another amendment to repeal it.

>Other fundamental rules are completely inconsistent like being 21 to drink while the majority is 18.

While true this is inconsistent, it isn't actually in the constitution. In theory states can set drinking and majority age as high and low as they want.
I think the concern is that the update is across the code -dispersed in the code base. But this only applies to legal events in all states else the default behavior should be invoked. If a new event that is legal in many states is created then you have to handle it everywhere anyway, and my experience that if then structures fill with bugs fast in this case

I definitely don't consider whether it individual was late on his credit card bills or got evicted for rent to be a strike against his worthiness for public office, in fact, it might even be a benefit in that he knows the problems of financial hardship and can empathize with the electorate.

That's why I mentioned [sic] "high networth" individuals in my original post. I weight failure to pay your small bills when you inherited millions or are worth billions are far more indicative of bad management skills or unreliability than someone who is poor missing payments.
That's not an inherent problem, that's poor implementation.

Procedures like this could work:

Person contacts support requesting a bypass of the 2FA due to whatever reason.

1. Cloudflare sends email to persons account notifying of the request.
2. Person is required to upload photographic proof of two govt-issued id's.
3. Cloudflare calls person (phone number on file from 2FA or account setup).
4. 30 day delay initiated.
5. 30 days layer, Cloudflare emails and calls person to confirm they requested 2FA bypass.
6. Access is granted.

With procedures like this, it's no longer about convincing a support rep.
>>Tons of openings, but many companies lean toward denials, under the assumption that firing the wrong person is more costly than not hiring the right person.

This might be their claim, but they almost always end up hiring wrong people and firing them.

Its really simple, making hiring decisions based on an interview is really like deciding to go into a long term relationship with a person based on the make up they put up during a date.

If you are choosing on these qualities alone, then the prettiest person would get selected. This says nothing about the person at all, or worse, bad people are likely to put up more make up to hide other obvious flaws.

It might be your ankles, but it's likely your hips are the major contributor here. Inadequate hip flexibility will force you to lean too far forward, lifting your heels off the ground.

If it's something you're willing to work at, from personal experience I know it can be improved.
I would absolutely be in favor of a repeal of the 2nd Amendment, and I would be very afraid to see the right to bear arms be legislated out of existence (without a repeal) because of the precedent that would set regarding not just the rest of the Bill of Rights, or the rest of the Amendments, but the entire Constitution itself.

I'm not talking about the 2nd being inconvenient. I'm talking about it being a mistake. Just like prohibition was. Just because we might collectively decide that giving people the right to arm themselves in ridiculous ways was a mistake, it doesn't follow that we're obviously going to decide that freedom of speech was a mistake, too. I'm absolutely not buying a slippery-slope argument here; that's just a fancy way of saying "I don't want positive change because I'm afraid of negative change as well".

The Bill of Rights is not some magical thing. Amendments are simply late additions to the Constitution. They are a part of the constitution. Suggesting that we shouldn't repeal an Amendment is suggesting that the Constitution's own amendment process should be tossed aside as invalid.

> We need to stand for all the BoR. Not whatever is convenient.

No, we don't. We need to stand for what makes sense for our society. "Convenience" has nothing to do with it.

This is the only reason (at least for now) that makes me dig into a library code. And I always got some benefit from it.

I think we often treat libraries as voodoo blackboxes, but they're more often thatn not created by normal people with great skills. Sometimes it's a great way to learn a way to code, or even better, to understand the behaviour of a library.

I found myself doing it more often when the IDE itself downloaded and linked the sources. (Lazy, I know).

GraphQL pain points and some workarounds
This is what scares me about the current attitude (nationally) towards gun control. The right to bear arms is a basic civil right, unambiguously encoded in the Bill of Rights alongside speech, assembly, religion, due process, etc. Throughout history, taking away weapons has always been an early step down the slippery slope to totalitarianism and stripping the populous of their other rights. Just because it's unlikely to happen here -- that we think it can't happen here -- doesn't mean it will not. That's what everyone in all of history has thought, but in fact by the time anyone realizes what's happening, it's usually too late.

You just need to work on your flexibility. Fortunately, if you wanted to, it's a fairly easy thing to improve upon and doesn't require much time, space, or any equipment. Just do some stretches every day, pushing a little bit against your limits, every day.

You'd probably be surprised by what happens after years of this.

I've read most of it, and I think it's a great book for experienced developers looking to dive deep into a pretty specific range of topics. As a beginner's second book after SICP, I'd still recommend it, because it assumes almost nothing. Having read it, I find it hard to see it as just a collection of intros, because you get a lot of mental algorithmic mileage out of e.g. hand-rolling an implementation of automatic differentiation, which is done in the book. You get a lot of clarity on things that are still quite useful.
(I am not a physical therapist.)

The ankle part can be trained separately by flexing them, I would believe. If your heels keep raising and you really want to be able to do it, have someone take a video of your attempt and study where your center of gravity travels. It should move towards the floor in a straight line. Chances are, you are simply not extending your behind outwards enough because there are other parts of your core muscles that are not flexible enough.

It's an exercise worth practicing and should be much more popular than the typical "pushups/crunches" routine that many non-athletes do at home. (This is where I will be taken apart by someone who knows more details:) Pushups and crunches train precisely the muscles that will pull your back and shoulders forward. A complex exercise such as squats and a good extension-stretch for your back will go a long way of making office dwellers feel better.
I'm slightly surprised that nobody (as far as I've seen) have mentioned SDL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specification_and_Description_...

SDL is widely used in telecom and datacom systems to develop the control plane. Most tools are of the draw your code-type, which ends up being a unmanagable mess in direct contrast to what management thinks. But the tools will generate state machines that pass messages between eachother and to controlling interfaces based on states an inputs.

The point being made for SDL is that you can easily simulate the whole system and watch/test that the control plane will work as intended before the HW has been built.
No need to resort to FUD, the thing you are mentioning happen and we can look at them. One such high profile example is Andrew Wakefield study published in the lancet which is the starting point for the "vaccines cause autism" controversy.

What happened is the author got caught, found guilty of professional misconduct and removed from practicing medicine while the paper was retracted. But this had consequences as a growing and vocal fringe population used this to fuel their agenda and spread misinformation against vaccines playing a role in the resurgence of contagious diseases.

But your arguing about climate change makes no sense, climate change has been happening for a while now there's no denying it field measure all points to this; sea level rises gradually, ice cap disappear, athmosphere composition changes, mass extinction of species is happening, natural disasters are increasing, etc.
Instead of wasting everybody's time on minute details and discussing attribution you should focus on what can be done to minimize the consequences.
No, the opposite, if your hamstrings are tight then when you are trying to flex your hips you're also having to fight against your hamstrings at the same time.

Hamstring stretches are pretty well trodden, yoga or any kicking martial art will have a wealth of material for how to increase your hamstring flexibility.

Don't think you're not a programmer because you don't want to deal with it— no one does. I hope StackBlitz can save a generation of potential programmers from being scared away because installing tools is gross.
I am male, but I can totally relate. I was diagnosed with (relatively mild) autism spectrum disorder last year at the age of 37. I kind of suspected for a long time, but somehow several psychiatrists and psychologists managed to miss it.

I wish I had gotten that diagnosis earlier, because it makes it a lot easier to explain to people how I am different.

I am not sure if I would call it covering it up, but a lot of my social skills are the result of a very conscious cognitive learning process. By now it is fairly automatic, but on a not-so-good day I tend to avoid eye contact and communication in general. Writing, strangely is much, much easier. On the upside, I managed to - partly - turn this to my advantage by making a point of being explicitly polite to people.
Not US, but my wake-up call was my sister purchasing a small apartment for just 8000$ in 2002, in an industrial part of the city, surrounded by beat-up apartment houses and humungous acetone storage units. Whole place reeked of chemicals and the low price was justifiable, as "nobody wants to live there". She sold that very same flat for 80 000$ in 2006. Bought by a young couple, who's combined income was enough for 110% financing with no down payment and some extra cash left to spend. Suddenly a lot of people wanted to live there, because it was the only thing they could afford, or it was one of the last areas in the city with somewhat lower prices, thus giving way better profits when speculating. Then came 2008 and the rest is history. Taught me another lesson - never rely on savings too much, they dwindle way too fast

How about timeboxing 15 minutes a day for body maintenance? Start out just reading some articles, then watching videos, then try out your first stretch, feel sore the next day, take a week off, then try out a different stretch routine, then progress, then increase your time per day because you see improvement, and one day, out of the blue, you're squatting. What do you think?
This analogy doesn't hold water. We have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and sailors, and can muster more if/when needed. If we only had a dozen, then the fact that they can be killed by a 20-cent bullet would indeed be a HUGE problem.

That's what a carrier is: an irreplaceable multi-billion-dollar sitting duck. This was adequately demonstrated by Lt. Gen. Paul Van Riper, who (IIRC) spoiled a major wargaming exercise by spamming the enemy's capital ships with speedboats, USS Cole-style. Of course, the military's response was to change the rules to disallow Zerg rushes. Hopefully the Chinese, Russians, and/or Iranians got their updated copy of the rulebook.
I've done bits of assembly, but I've also studied compilers. They felt less magical to me when I learned some of how they work.

If N is the number of nested loops, and M is the number of times through the loop, then it is indeed a O(M^N). So indeed, complexity scales exponentially with the level of nesting.
