I had this happen when I was obtaining my degree a couple of years ago. I forget the issue exactly, but I had this homework problem that I was able to solve using Python docs but what was happening underneath wasn't really "clicking" in my brain. So I posted the problem I solved, my solution, along with my actual question about the underlying issue. I got a lot of "did you check the documentation?" and "is this for HW?"...sadly my question was closed and I never got an answer.
I'm storing all the search results and will do some analysis on the data. Maybe I'll even get around to adding a new page with some of the interesting stuff I find.
See my comment at the same level as yours, it might help.
Lanetix engineers bring case to NLRB claiming firings were illegal retaliation
I've had several female understudies that seemed destined for rising to the top. None of them, except one, have. They've come close, but backed out here and there. For reasons that seem unrelated to male influence.

I'm very skeptical of some cries of conspiratorial male oppression. (Though not all.) However, I do think there is something in the structure of our society which acts as a powerful disincentive to women at a certain point. I did an architectural walk-through awhile back, and spoke to the CEO/architect of the small company that designed that building. My take-away from her was that, in order to "have it all," she basically had to build a smaller company that dealt more on a personal level with clients with doing smaller projects, as opposed to a larger company which could take on much higher-profile projects. I think there is a significant element of the communal which is vital to human well-being and high functioning, and that this missing element has something to do with what seems like unreasonable demands placed on working mothers and the frequent decision taken to reduce career emphasis to raise children.

Thanks for both those links. Both were super interesting to read about. Very cool to learn how an ant can come up with these solutions.

I wonder if different species of Ants have different solutions? Like a large species might be able to do something smaller ants cannot.
Well, it's not literally placed in the lobby (since the price chart is big and different locations/types/severities of e.g. hernia mean different types of operations, and the choice of which type of operation should be chosen is generally not made by you but by the consulting doctor) but it's conceptually the same in that the price list is publicly available and you know beforehand about what exactly you're going to be charged.

E.g. a link to a random local (to me) hospital's pricelist (not in English, sorry) https://www.aslimnica.lv/lv/content/neirokirurgijas-operacij... starts with two different procedures for herniated spinal disc repair. That's it, if your doctor recommends to do this operation, then if it's not covered by your insurance this is what you'll pay for the procedure followed by a standard per-day inpatient fee for however you're required to stay during recovery. It's up to the hospital how to split the amount among all the involved specialists labor, equipment, drugs and supplies required.

As far as I've seen when traveling, the same (i.e. once it's clear what you want to be done, there's a price known beforehand) applies in most European and Asian countries, but it's hard to provide online examples as you must look for the local non-english (the english-speaking market, USA+UK+UK dominions, seems quite different from the rest of the world) services since English websites tend to be oriented for "medical tourism" services which is different from how the locals handle their healthcare, and there's a significant language barrier.

How does pricing of elective surgeries work in your area?
Circle: Sending money with blockchain
Agreed. It's a hassle to negotiate a few racks and that's barely a few millions dollars. I can't imagine doing that for a hundred rack at a times.

Twice as much would be a huge savings. In the cloud, I can give you 20k cores in one hour and I can give you 100k cores in two hours, after the initial investment to open multiple regions and networks backbones. The price is known in advance and the investment can be cancelled anytime.

Obtaining the same 20k cores from a colo will be a hassle. Months of negotiations with nothing being done. I'd expect any sane provider to bail if trying to discuss 100k cores, it's too much upfront investment. It would take years to get half of it, the project is long abandoned before anything is delivered and everyone who worked on it has left.
Parent was incorrect - the graphs are directed.
I've poked at trying to build this multiple times for the last 10 years, but always ended up looking at the wikipedia XML and just balking.

The one difference that mine theoretically would have had is that I think it would be rad to include the paragraph you found the link along the edge in the graph, so you could see a little story.

Also, excluding years and places to make the routes more "interesting" (e.g. longest path under a limit without cycles).
Woah. This works. Neat.
Not necessarily. People with autism tend to score very low in recognizing social expressions for example, lending reason as to why they cannot learn social skills the same as others. Neurotypical people tend to be able to pick this up naturally. From what I remember, an autistic brain has a Lower than normal response when seeing faces.
I hit 60 fps on chrome on ios while black like you have on Safari. I assumed they both use webkit and would be more or less the same.
Probably because some legal procedure or regulation has a limit of $25K and treats lawsuits under and over it differently. So if you don't want to disclose the actual amount, you still will have to disclose the fact it goes into pile A and not pile B.
All stimulants are habit forming, including Modafinil, especially when used long term. Modafinil just happens to have much weaker withdrawals than other popular stims.

Its not a free market.

When you have indentured labor, these things happen.

Give every imported worker a time limited Green Card / Full Work Authorization, and you wont see any such abuse.

Libertarian or not, when you shackle the imported labor of America (both skilled and unskilled), there is no incentive for the employer to give better work conditions, because they know that they have salves to do the work.
The average person can figure out a car, can figure out how to vote in complicated voting systems, and can figure out much more.

You don’t have to dumb down things unnecessarily. If a person can buy a smart home device, plug it in and configure it, or an Apple TV, or a computer, then they can also get one of the simpler NAS, and sync with that.

I learned about state machines, along with push-down automata and others but these were in a formal automata class where we learned things like the Church-Turing thesis and other similar theory.

So there's learning about state machines in that context and then there's learning about state machines by actually building them in complex pieces of software, or replacing spaghetti code with FSMs. That's when I personally realized how valuable they are.

That is something I never learned in school - and something I learned throughout a career of experimenting, making mistakes, reading from books like http://gameprogrammingpatterns.com, learning from peers, and reading articles like this.

Apple went that way with the ipod: 1> FW only, tethered to your mac, 2> USB-based supporting PC, 3> standalone (phone), 4> pumping up functionality to attack their previous core business (Mac), 5> withering away of the ipod itself.

I fully anticipate the watch to become android-compatible in the not-too-distant future now that global phone sales appear to have peaked (could be a temporary peak, but the writing is on the wall) so that they can dominate the next generation.

Then in another 5-10 years it becomes a standalone cloud terminal.

None of which can happen unless the watch is freed from the watchkit issues Marco decries.
> Atlanta seems to still be finding its identity. All the industries are nascent, it always seems just on the cusp of a big transformation. I have a theory about cities, that property values are largely constrained by geography as the first and practically only factor, and Atlanta has no geographical limitations that jack up prices. As a result, property has always been comparatively cheap.

I've observed similar things about Dallas.

Property values are going up here a little, but Dallas is still a really cheap place to live compared to any major coastal city or even hilly places like Austin, and the recent growth in property values is largely because a surprisingly large number of companies have all decided to relocate here in a very short span of time, and the housing industry hasn't caught up yet. I expect this trend won't last: eventually there will be enough new housing built in exurbs like Frisco and Prosper (and small towns like Celina being turned into exurbs) that it'll counterbalance the influx of new residents.

> So your position is: Oh its stealing money, but lets spend the stolen money better?

So your position is: If I find the source (taxation) to be unethical, I am not allowed to have any opinion on spending?

My point is that that is absurd.

> But it is not an ideology that they believe in

That is my point: It's a vain representation of ideology that is used as an excuse. You don't need to fight the ideology itself to understand that.

Rather than freaking out every time you read the phase "taxation is theft", maybe you could actually read what I am saying, and understand that we are in violent agreement on every other point.

3) Very heavy load

Two reasons for me:

Real product versus toy: The arduino libraries are not the standard AVR libraries you would use to program a real product. In a real product you would also never use an arduino, too expensive and bulky.

Also, the arduino ties up a bunch of pins and space compared to just the chip, for not much payoff in a typically sharp focus microcontroller use case.

I think the cost for a programmer is a wash when you consider that you only need to buy bare chips after you learn how to use the programmer.

Your ankle to knee and knee to hip ratio can make this easier/harder due to centre of gravity position.

The three areas I've identified to work on for myself are ankle mobility, hip flexibility and hamstring flexibility.

I realised that hamstring flexibility impairs my hip mobility, and my hamstrings are good by average standards - I can touch my knuckles on the ground from standing position after warming up.
This makes sense. I became a much happier person when I exited high school and realized that I actually could get positive outcomes from being weird. The "Mask" is more like a script imo, and it's good to be able to drop it when needed.

The examples of girls with autism trying to fit in with other girls was sad. I remember in middle school how my nerdy coed friend group got bullied for sitting together at lunch. The guys got called gay and the girls were shunned by other girls. There was a lot of explicit peer group pressure to only associate by gender. Fortunately most people grew out of this by high school.

Personally, I think I tended towards associating with males more often because I enjoyed competitive games (yugioh, magic, etc) and they were more likely to play. I always preferred hobbies with explicit rules to the comparative anarchy of navigating social circles. It's a shame that so many other girls get pressured by family and peers to avoid predominantly male social hobbies. I think they actually help improve self-confidence and create meaningful friendships far more easily for autistic folks than typical sleepovers or gossiping or whatever.
Yeah, that is also what I got, black screen at 60fps. iOS Chrome still uses webkit as Apple requires it.
I don't believe you. Either that or I've never in my life encountered a "neurotypical" child. Figuring out which behaviors are appropriate/inapproriate and changing accordingly, through self awareness and peer feedback, is most of what growing up is. Some people don't outwardly display as much effort, but it requires effort from everyone.
As a comparison I've been doing karate for 15 months, I'm over 40. I can now kneel down for long enough to do a seza (kneeling bow) but still can't sit back on my feet; it's still painful for me however, not as much as it was.

Mind you, even as a child I was unable to sit cross-legged (without holding my ankles and arching my back) and found floor sitting immensely awkward and uncomfortable.

My impression is that amongst the different "races" we have different ranges of body shapes; I am relatively convinced that this makes some actions and positions more difficult. Maybe squatting is such a movement.

That's not empirical evidence that formal methods are more effective than other approaches. It just shows that the culture at these companies is conductive to using them. Walmart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av9Xi6CNqq4 and Boeing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUC7noGU1mQ etc use different approaches. :)
Back in 1993, my family computer business in Pittsburgh received a 419 scam physical letter actually mailed from Nigeria. It was hand written, hand placed stamp, and mailed to our company PO box. I found it fascinating, kept it for several years as an intriguing item. I can only assume they had sent out hundreds to businesses listed in the phone book. We certainly didn't have a website yet in 1993.
They do have yoga pants for men at Lululemon. While abhorrently expensive ($100+) they look fantastic on a male body. Most of their men's pants have a looser fit as well as a boot cut. Lululemon is actually a clothing company that knows bodies. They basically redesigned athletic wear into something classy-cool and fashionable. I feel comfortable wearing their All The Right Places pants in a business casual setting (of course with a blouse, jacket, and nice shoes).

When people start associating politics with immutable surface characteristics, then watch out. By their actions, they are implicitly advertising that such surface-stuff is more important to them than the content of your character. In the old days, we called that bigotry.

Thanks you very much for writing this. I am also in tech and I was also homeless for 4 months, though mine was a bourgeois version spent in AirBNBs. (It started out with a physical assault on me, however.) It's good to know I'm not the only one and good perspective to know that others have been strong enough to survive much worse.

This is a good summary. It's the same culture in Austin.

> If, for example, you don't abuse but just use psychoactive drugs in some way, regularly, why? Especially if you like your job or things seem pretty good in your life.

Given your history I can certainly understand why you frame the issue this way, but I'll point out that this reads to me very much like "Why would you ever ride a rollercoaster, or go on vacation, or watch a movie, if you already like your job? Isn't life good enough?"

Because it's fun, or a change of pace, or just as a break. It really can be just that simple; it doesn't have to be a bulwark against depression or the result of peer pressure or isolation or failure to keep up or Our Modern Dysfunctional Lifestyle or etc.

"Let's trick the human" is already a large part of law.
I think you have a point here with Chicago. It may because no single industry dominates the economy like in Silicon Valley (tech), NYC (finance), LA (entertainment) or Cambridge (education).

Building a game is a probably the best way to learn and apply state machines since a lot of it is all about how to manage state effectively since there are so many pieces of state and interactions between them.

I am a successful engineer with a wonderful loving family. I'm also addicted to hydrocodone. It's been about 7 years. It started I'm sure like many others, a bad back, a wisdom tooth, and a little slip of paper good for 3 refills. One day I asked myself what these wonder pills would do for me when I wasn't in pain. It was instant bliss, like nothing I'd ever imagined life could be.
I confined my indulgence at first to weekends, then a few times a week, then....

I'm at 50mg a day now, down from 100 so there's that. The real junkies will be laughing at me, and perhaps rightfully so, but I'm not laughing. I've experienced withdrawal a few times, and never longer than 3 days. Just as words cannot describe the sensation this drug gives me, it is equally impossible to explain the nightmare that occurs when my lazy mu-opioid receptors don't get what they are accustomed to. I keep myself on the edge of withdrawal all the time, only taking when I'm about to get the shakes, to ward off the demons for just a few hours more. I have a fighting chance to kick this thing, unlike many and I realize how lucky I am, but also I know I may not live long enough to reach my goal.

I'm very good at spotting the fakes, but the fakes are getting better every year. The sad consequence of the tightening of supply in the past several years--closing the pill mills, rescheduling, limits on number of prescriptions a doctor can write--is a sharp increase in the black market price, a surge of demand from addicts whose doctors have written them off, and a massive incentive for counterfeits, many containing fentanyl. Prohibition doesn't work, people are dying. But who cares, right? We're just a bunch of junkies.

I keep a note in my wallet explaining to my family that I love them and that I am sorry.
