I think it's a great introduction to Programming, but if you already know some other language, it tends to be verbose - but Stroustrup always tends to be verbose. I, for one, really like his style.
And the thesis of almost all of venture capital, all of whom have made a lot of money on the insight and innovation of the past, but which has failed to created any new innovation of any significance.

This should be better said as, "Fund fresh insight, to find fresh insight." And while that sounds tautologically obvious, almost no one is doing it.

>If you bet 99% of your money each time then there's still no probability that you go bankrupt (it's literally impossible to go bankrupt unless you bet all your money), and you make money much faster.

Go back and read through the Math for the Kelly Criterion - when you know your edge and odds, it's the optimal solution. It's basically the balance point between taking advantage of current betting opportunities and preserving capital to take advantage of future betting opportunities.

If you bet 99% of your money on a coin flip, you'll eventually lose a flip and have too little money to take advantage of future coin flips.

Let me try another explanation: your return from a series of coinflips comes from two sources. The first is the return from the next coin flip, which when you have an edge, makes you want to bet as much as possible on this flip. The second is the return from all future flips, which makes you want to bet less so that a poor result doesn't permanently diminish your ability to make bets. Mathematically, the Kelley Criterion is the point where adding or removing bet sizing moves these two values the same amount, resulting in a change in expected value per bet size of zero, which means it's a maximum.

To be honest, I'm not sure of a competing one-stop shop - I certainly didn't know when I last fasted from media.

These days I do a daily scan of all the none-too-tabloidy newspapers (UK-based here), and on a weekly-or-so basis take in the likes of The Spectator, National Review and Foreign Affairs.

I'm not going to lie - I could probably do with another breather - I'm unsure how much value I get from scouring all this crap.
Writing off depreciation + having to pay self-employment tax is probably a wash I would think, not sure though.
I think a good follow up, if you have the time, would be to read through the BBC article that is also on the front page about the benefits of being a loner. The two articles seem to be arguing for different sides of the same issue.

Most researchers applying for NIH grants aren't "random people"; all of them have gotten through PhD programs and potentially have done one or two postdocs, which already indicates that they have sufficient "team experience" and are already quite accomplished in their own right.

This article isn't saying that anyone should be able to get an NIH grant, but rather that grants should be awarded less due to politics and more based upon potential merit and the promise of an idea. I.e., This editorial is being published in Nature, not viXra.

The central issue is not one of team dynamics, or rooting out inequality on a societal level, but rather about rooting out inequality among equally capable candidates. Currently, many academic fields are dominated by cronyism and that is what the article is advocating against.
Mostly theoretical, see https://research.google.com/pubs/pub41893.html although I have built a high throughput microscope for computer vision experiments.
Speaking as a former Floridian who lived both in south Florida and the panhandle: South Florida is a tiny blue outlier in an otherwise deep red southern state. State laws and politics are dominated by Tallahassee which is physically and culturally closer to Alabama. It would be a shock to someone moving from the Bay Area or Seattle.

That said, zero income taxes, low sales taxes, warm weather year round, and great beaches are all very compelling.
While we're playing inequality, comparable != compatible.
Whether or not an inefficiency exists, setting a price floor is guaranteed to create one.

We understand that artificial price controls are generally bad for economic goods, why do we treat labor differently? The fact that human suffering is involved does not magically override market forces.
Source? The article I remember about Tesla layoffs said it was a lot less than 10%, and mostly not factory workers.
This has been a vital issue now for almost two decades and clearly no one cares that voting machines can be hacked. If they did, we wouldn't be using them at all. This shit has been going on so long, I simply assume elections that are held with such machines are held with such machines intentionally so the results can be manipulated. There is no reasonable reason for a system to use such machines when tried and true methods exist except to manipulate the election. It's not like these machines were installed by mistake. They were deliberately installed with one and only one purpose in mind.
Ditto.

>If on the other hand I have nothing better to do

Ah ha! This requires having something planned or desiring to do something at that time. For me rather than phrasing it as "nothing better to do" it comes down to "I don't have any current plans and while I may feel lazy and unmotivated, there's value in socializing with others". And yes, 9 out of 10 times I'm glad I did!
It's nice that the support is there, but are there any sites actually using it? My concern is that default matter - ie, if you make it easier to just support a few fixed servers, that's what will generally happen.
Maybe I've just never really noticed before. Maybe a case of glancing and just imagining the `.com` after.

> How can you raise that much money without shipping a product?

Some businesses and technologies are extremely capital intensive and funding can/should/is provided on achieving benchmarks instead of a cohesive product. This is different than shipping an MVP and improving it which in some industries is not possible. YC for example funds hardsci fusion reactor companies and SA talks about how they iterate really fast during the YC period to produce some tangible benchmark which is obviously much less than a full-fledged product but much more than some nebulous "concept".

So yes, it makes sense that certain industries receive larger than average investment relative to other industries at similar product stages. While I myself am extremely skeptical of Magic Leap, their technology and the likelihood investors aren't participating in some sunk-cost fallacy investment thesis there is a non-cyncial view: MagicLeap has been showing significant achievement along both technological and production benchmarks privately to investors and they are confident that the technology & manufacturing improvements warrant continued investment.

I think the amount of capital raised pre-validation is insane as it isn't simply larger than average it is orders of magnitude larger...
> You could go down the route of outputting each compiled object file as a derivation...

You could, but I believe you would find that Nix becomes pretty inefficient in that scenario. There is a surprising amount of overhead involved in setup/teardown of network namespaces and the other various sandbox features, and that cost is incurred for each individual derivation. It's a reasonable tradeoff for Nix when used as a package-level build sandbox, but (assuming my understanding is correct and still current) for Nix to work well as a file-level incremental build system it would require some strategic changes.

Here's the github issue with a bunch of related discussion and details: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/179
I am fine with choosing a 'loner' path, but the hitch comes when they want civilization / society to come to rescue whenever they feel like it or are in danger or stuck etc.

I did and do pride myself for being able to be on my own but over time, I have come to see what my family adds to my existence. What I don't realize and appreciate when they are around, I completely feel it when they aren't. The social part of me is like a cat I guess: when others are watching, it just wants to hide under a counter, goes for snuggles once in a while.

As in all things, it is good to keep a moderate involvement. You can't expect them snuggles without giving something in return to family/society/country/whatever.

Time for another one of my dumb theories: The system has enabled us to be alone more and more without actually putting ourselves in the path of physical labor/danger - but I believe it is also fraying at the seams exactly because of the same. It is hard to care for your fellow man / schools / community etc. when you hardly participate and if you only react when personally impacted. Social contracts need social involvement.
I think the speed-up sounds much better than the slow-down. With the slow-down there are very noticable artifacts; I'm not sure if it's because of the envelope they choose or just because repeating a grain adds harmonics.
Management stopped and restarted AAA and 3000+ several times, including replacing a significant chunk of hardware people with PC guys. That ultimately led to the cheap hack of AGA, the cheap and nasty (4000), and the cost saving entry (600) that cost significantly more to produce than the 500.

AAA was started in 88 if I remember right, and abandoned when the rest of the world had pretty much reached it.
Wave files are pretty easy to deal with because the format is simple and the data isn't usually compressed. It's all the other formats that make this hard. Actually, it's probably not that hard, but parsing file formats isn't really a fun programming task (for me at least).
That only goes so far. You can't offshore building your home, for instance.
Yeah. You can’t just declare your business unregulated. That’s not how laws work.
I see the argument that cryptos reduce the grasp of oppressive regimes on here pretty frequently but the truth is that a) the null hypothesis (no effect) has yet to be rejected with any data and b) oppressive regimes are very good at eliminating or severely restricting internet access when it suits them.

A slight tangent -- you can't just take two options and say we don't have any data so we can't judge. We have a prior: most things do not have an effect in this case.
Any fun stories to re-tell?
Somewhat. And it isn't just Google. Now that you have a cell phone, you are probably not as good at remembering phone numbers as folks were 20 years ago. I know I used to remember some numbers. Now, I barely remember my own.

So, same goes for how can you tell if it will rain soon? Well, used to folks knew some tricks by looking at the sky. Some folks still know them. By and large, everyone else is more accurate by asking their devices.

Want to know how far away something is? There is an amazing trick you can do with your thumb and line of site. If you really want to know, though, get a range finder. :)

And it isn't just memory. Consider how much weaker most people's arms are today than they used to be.

> Anyone can apply for their own TLD but it's not cheap. £130K+ a year iirc after a long application process

Anyone could during the one-time “new gTLD” scramble, but applications closed for that years ago; no decision on any subsequent round has yet been made, because the review of that first round has not yet been completed.

So, other than establishing a new country and getting a new ccTLD, there's no way to get a new TLD right now.

Are you arguing that 32 cents per mile is too low a cost? It's lower than IRS reimbursement rules but it's pretty consistent with a calculation of depreciation/maintenance plus gas for a reasonably economical car, especially given that some costs like excise tax are indeed pretty much fixed. So long as those costs are also applied to miles driven when "on the clock" but driving to pick up a passenger (i.e. not being paid), it seems like a very reasonable ballpark number.
What if you work for Uber, secretly. Just the sort of initiative Uber might undertake and I'm not exactly knocking this specific instance. Definitely an incentive not to answer in any method other than gushing love and gratitude.
Some people having different ideas about what's exciting needn't necessarily lead to solitude. People have overlapping interests with each other and gathering around these common interests can provide a frame for socializing. Maybe that's a garage band, or a hiking group, or a hackerspace, or a board game night, or a book club, or something else.

This might be a fine way to fund innovation (taking invention and turning it into capital ) but it's a terrible way to fund invention. By definition there is no idea when you set out to invent.

innovation produces billions of dollars of wealth . Invention produces trillions. Are we sure we have our priorities straight as a species?
I find very basic sniff tests tend to score relatively well at figuring out the truth on 'controversial' issues. So for instance this $3/hour earnings just did not make sense as there would rapidly approaching 0 drivers of > 'x months' experience driving for Uber, whereas drivers that have been doing it for years are hardly unicorns.

For the wage gap take as an assumption that companies were genuinely able to pay women less for doing the exact same quality and quantity of work as men. Well what would happen? We already live in a world where big companies relentlessly squeeze every penny they can from minimizing labor costs. The notion that people are intentionally paying more to men just to be around more men defies belief, to put it mildly.

And there's a corollary to this as well. As 'wage gap' entered the zeitgeist, there's no doubt that some companies, ever anxious to provide a bump to their next quarterly, did actively look to see if they could replace their male workers with females to save on labor costs. And the results of their research, in that no companies seem to be doing this, speaks for itself.

Spotify vs netflix

- People very very infrequently watch the same movie/tv show twice.

- People very very frequently listen to the same song

therefore

- The past is important for songs since at any point in time there are more songs in the past that you want to listen than new songs that have been just released

- The future is more important for movies since you are looking fwd to watching something new

therefore

Netflix >>> Spotify
There's also a macOS app.

You might be surprised. For small structs, copying is very fast and may give you a result with better locality. Passing around structs by pointer means more pointer dereferencing, which has its own overhead and can cause cache misses.
