What I find fascinating in the history of regexps is that their syntax has remained remarkably similar over the years and across very different implementations and uses. Considering how much variance we have in programming languages in general, and how many people consider regexp syntax to be unfriendly, I'm not sure why there hasn't been more experimentation (and serious alternatives!) in this area.
You could use a parser like esprima or its equivalent from the babeljs ecosystem on the JS source instead and just find the global variable with name `__STATE__` and just eval its init expression. Cheaper, more secure, more direct than actually running the JS.

For P&S cameras you're right. They are already done. People who use their DSLRs as a P&S also may be better served by the phones of the world.

As someone who is trying not carry my D7100 + lenses all over, I am constantly looking for ways to move to something lighter/smaller. While my iPhoneX does a good job in snapshot situations, it still doesn't compare to my D7100 + 35mm. And, if we get into 'bulky' lenses like my 70-300mm I don't see how a phone lens + software can ever be a stand in because of physics.

I'm not a phone camera hater, and in fact I'm routinely amazed how great many shots come off the phone with little effort. I just don't see how the physics problems can be solved with software anytime soon though.

As an aside, when will one of these camera manufactures partner with an Apple or Google and take their amazing image processing software and put it on a high quality body/lens?

The desperate clinging to a numeric system oriented to the binary internals of a computer in the human interface to those internals is insane. Choosing base 2 numeric systems as the default number system in any high level language is just shortsighted and stupid.

Maybe DEC64 is flawed, but can we stop pretending that we like binary-based default systems for any reason other than the barrier to entry it creates for newcomers and visceral feeling of communing with computer internals.

Binary has a place -- in low-level languages. Like assembler. There's nothing wrong with any language providing a non-decimal system as an optional number type.

The system we have in many high-level languages is a frankenstein of a binary system that you usually interact with through decimal representation.

The proposal gets at least one thing right: the languages of the future will have a numeric system default that has less insanity. But it will take the passing of a generation or two of developers.

> where men seem much less interested in identity politics

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bias to this. After the 2016 election, there was discussion about the focus of Democrats on identity politics, but Trump's campaign was almost entirely identity politics, which was rarely explicitly called out.

It seems as though when the group that holds the most political power (men, white people, Christians) has concerns, it's not viewed as identity politics, whereas for political minorities, it is.
So what you're saying is you have a problem with a book that has thousands of peer reviewed studies as references. Your only argument is still completely subjective.

Typical complaint of how the election of a conservative president is the demise of all that is held dear.
>The goal of democracy is not good governance, it is civil peace.

It is neither. Democratic elections is a process that gives power to the politician whose plan / personality / promises appeals to the most people. In other words, it selects for the best propaganda. Which is why media personalities tend to be very successful at elections and why democracy looks very desirable. On the other hand, regarding good governance and civil peace, If you look at democracy in general, (and not just western countries), it is not that much better than alternatives.

IMHO the current problem is that the values previously selected by the democratic process have been equated with the process itself, and now that they are falling out of fashion, it is democracy itself that looks like it's taking a hit.
If the re-run concludes that even more optimistic assumptions still lead to underpaid drivers, though, that’s useful information.

The key aspect here is the study’s author is willing to change his study based on criticism, to try and determine whether it still produces the same conclusions. That is precisely what science is about!
> Uber has a lot of data, but even they don't know total hours spent before or after shifts in prep for work nor expenses with regard to vehicle maintenance.

I would think Uber has exactly the data they would need to calculate this meaningfully, or at least the points you list aren't the decisive shortcomings. Most jobs require that you get yourself to work and prepared (to some degree, at least, but one that seems to apply fine to Uber drivers) on your own time. Also, in the blog post they state that they agree with the methodology around calculating cost of vehicle use, which regardless is not an area of great contention. There are stable and largely uncontroversial numbers published by tax authorities, and there are rental agencies that provide vehicles at fixed rates.
I’ve thought similar, but 1) Patrick is a smart guy and undoubtedly self reflective enough to understand his writing style, and 2) HN upvotes affirm what he’s doing.

Now, my theory is the Japanese culture values this style of communication as much as it doesn’t value directness. The reason is there are many avenues to save face when not directly confronted.

You can see this in the way people spoke to each other when disrespect would lead to a dual. And this is still the predominant speech style in US legislature.

Key paragraph:

> Like the boy who cried wolf, the Twitter mob crying "SHAME!" becomes easier to dismiss the less precisely it positions its crosshairs. To move the needle on gun control, public outrage needs to remain focused on the gun-violence epidemic, lawmakers' inaction and the lies of the NRA. But in the wake of the shooting, viral outrage has also erupted over U.S. President Donald Trump's crib sheet reminding him to express empathy for the victims and his unserious proposal to arm teachers. Just looking at the responses online, an observer from another planet might think we humans believe all these offences deserve equal attention. When everything is worthy of outrage, effectively nothing is.

I really think kids by a certain age should be able to distinguish for themselves the importance of events from the hysteria of the writer. Maybe a cartoon series where twitter is the villain? At the end of each episode, the heroes realise they were being wound up.
EURUSD: Looks to Recover Further Higher
Also worth checking out: http://evbmw.com/ this is electronics wizard and Irishman Damien Maguire converting BMW's (in his view, the best cars in the world) to electric.

His videos are very detailed and also fairly slow paced so you can take your time to understand. He's done several brilliant builds already including an E39 (aka the best 5-series in my opinion), and E31 (8-series from the early 90s).

Currently he's busy with an E36 EUR1000 conversion which almost sounds too good to be true so it will be very interesting to view.
I'd agree that the terms 'weak' and 'strong' are used too loosely about people especially in moral matters. However in the case of disobeying one's conscience it seems clear: part of the mind wants A and another part wants B. Disunity is weakness.

The protein argument is probably one of the worst of the food uneducated. I could flip your argument and ask about actual nutrition. What vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc does meat provide? Very few.

Protein? Peas, quinoa, beans, nuts, tempeh, leafy greens, seeds, and the list goes on. The difference is something like quinoa is that, compared to any meat, it is calorie for calorie more nutritionally complete.

Finally why are you focused on protein to begin with? And how much protein is required for you daily? Overconsumption of has shown negative effects:

I agree, though sitting and talking with breast cancer patients waiting on the radiation machine or infusion room...it's so clearly physically barbaric. Especially those at the "months in" mark that are emaciated, bald, and mostly without fingernails and toenails.

Back in the 70s I had a motor magazine with a story titled “Big (Golf) Balls” about a German who split a Golf GTI down the middle to widen it, then put a Porsche 911 transaxle in the back. That would have been a Mk I Golf too.

Back then the title was quite risqué.
I don't know any 'normal' (as in regular) people who would buy above that. Europeans are used to small cubatures, the average would be around 1.6 to 1.8 (and that's considered big).

The German copy right law was quite noticeable written with companies in mind, and had originally a right to private copies to get private people out of the reaches of the law. You could copy an entire book, or a movie, give it to a friend and that would be perfectly legal. (As long as you are clearly not doing that in any kind of commercial fashion.)

Early in the last decade, judges ruled that this basically never applies to anything internet, with the result that the entire copyright law is applicable. That would not be a big problem, except the entire law is written with the idea that both parties have already lawyers on staff. One example is the "Abmahnung," the way copy right disputes are meant to be resolved is, the lawyer of anybody who believes their copy right to be infringed sends a letter that tells the other guy to stop that, pay damages and sign a contract to never do that again. The escalation of that is, when you receive such a letter, then you sue against the "Abmahnung" and the judge who hears the case also decides about the original infringement. Trouble is, you are now suing and therefore the court is wherever the people who send the "Abmahnung" in the first place reside -- not a big problem if you are an large company in the first place.

It’s not betting jargon. It’s just simple business jargon. Look up how profit margin is expressed. It’s profit divided by total revenue. In other words, it’s the percentage of your total revenue that is profit, which is why you can never have a profit margin over 100%.

In this case, that means $7,700/$15,700, or 49%.

I've found splitting the dataframe, and using multiprocessing module with `apply` to compute chunks of data to be quite efficient. One can use `group_by` method for that, or just slice the dataframe.

For example:

concurrency = 4 # Num of cores
pool = multiprocessing.Pool(processes=concurrency)
results = pool.map(fn, df.group(...)) # fn would be a callable for computing on a chunk.
pool.close()
return pd.concat(results)

There's no such thing as a "binary" or "decimal" number.

In the real world, there are natural numbers, integers, rationals and real numbers.

Computer languages are designed with types that mimic this real-world number stack. Low-level binary implementation details don't leak unless you're overflowing or using bit operations.

What you're really complaining about is the fact that rationals aren't a first-class type in any popular language. With that I agree, it's a shame that corners were cut we three number types instead of four.
To be honest I find the game selection to be pretty weak. So far at least. I mean there are a few standout titles - no doubt. But like with the Wii, there's an overwhelming amount of shelf fillers which you'd play for a few hours after buying but then never touch again.

Having carts is a nice touch though but even there I have a few niggles: like swapping the carts out can be a little bit of a pain (like popping an SD card out of a mobile phone where you have flaps to remove and then need to jam your nail into the card to get it to spring out). Plus I don't agree that Switch games (on the cart at least) load instantaneously. Quite a few games seem to have long loading times - Zelda being the most notable.

I also really dislike how the Joycons feel when using them as two player. Particularly the one with the analogue stick in the middle.

But that all said, the things Nintendo got right far outweigh the stuff that are sub-optimal. It works nicely both docked and as a handheld (eg while on the train). It's a nice weight, has a good screen and even the battery life seems pretty decent (despite the horror stories I was reading prior to its release). The UI is a pleasure to use as well (likely down to it being focused as a games console rather than home entertainment system). I even like how game updates can be postponed when you want to actually play the game (unlike Playstation which prevents you from playing a game until everything is up-to-date).

Overly it's a really nice console to own. My daily commute is about 2.5 hours (round trip) on a good day and my Switch has made the commute far more bearable. In fact I now look forward to it.
