Social acceptability is part of it. But the bigger issue was likely part of what you see people arguing about here. Segways didn't belong on sidewalks and they didn't really work very well on roads. (And you can debate how great a fit they are/were even for bike lanes.)
Ask HN: Does showing “Down votes” encourage more down votes?
It seems to me it does create a bit of "mob mentality". I don't think the effect is huge, but it does appear to be exist here.
Not a specialist here, but bigger distances will mean - more time to discover other places and other people which means you won't find new knowledge for some time and then you will need more time to bring it to your people. Slower trade too.

I second the Michel Thomas recommendation. What it gives you is a good ear for more complicated grammatical structures. There's no getting around putting in the work to build your vocabulary, but it really helps bridge the gap between the grammar rules you read in a book and recognizing and using them in conversation.
You don't seem to understand the difference between economic profit and economic rent...
Be the change you want to see in the world ;)
All the time. I don't really understand how you don't. Requirements change constantly, and the software's structure has to change with them, or become a big ball of tangly interdependencies.

Refactoring is not a big deal. If you keep your code clean, each individual refactoring is really quick - moving a method, renaming a trait to better fit its new role, ... If you can do these kind of things with a minimum of friction thanks to your IDE, you will do them, and you will not run into the situation where you have accumulated loads of technical debt and need two weeks to get everything into a maintainable state again.
This sounds like a bunch of pseudoscience? I've taken a bunch of courses on neurosciences etc, and there's certainly some left/right splits but nothing as severe as that…

The wiki article is actually pretty accurate: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralization_of_brain_func...
Legalities aside, being smart does not excuse childish behavior. Being smart is not an excuse and it is ridiculous to lower the bar for smart people.
Thanks, I agree that the nuclear industry has been letting the world down. I don't know why it's so hard for the nuclear industry to get a grip on itself, but it clearly hasn't.

I've always felt that nuclear energy is more promising because of the significantly lower resource intensity. If at some point some company manages to reliably produce nuclear power plants at a predictable and reasonable cost, then just by sheer economics it should outperform crazy ideas like building hundreds of thousands of windmills. Not to mention the unforeseen consequences building that many windmills could have on the environment.

But in practice, if it's safe and easy to invest in wind energy, and even marginally cost effective, then it will become reality.

From what I remember of the book, all the numbers were order of magnitude estimates, and things like solar panels being a few factors cheaper doesn't really change the idea that they're expensive and have to cover a lot of land. That said, it might have underestimated wind, especially for a large country like the US.
All: if you comment in this thread, please avoid ideological tangents and political rhetoric. They are repetitive and lead to flamewar. Interesting discussions are able to stay specific.

I'm struggling to find the reference I wanted to share, but here is the right to control migration from a new member country, which presumably are the lowest wage areas[0]. Britain chose not to exercise this right in the first place, so it seems fallacious to suggest that the government would exercise further restrictions if it could. It was explained to me by an economist (Roger Martin-Fagg) as a deliberate policy (and why the UK lobbied the EU so hard to move east, the irony) to add more young people to the UK workforce because of low productivity and most particularly the pension crisis.

You are correct of course that extra people coming into a profession could cause stagnation of wages, but it is usually far more complicated than that. In the UK, despite all of this immigration we have rather low rates of unemployment, marginally lower than before the 2004 expansion of the EU. This seems counterintuitive if wage growth is an over-supply problem. It is also not true to say that an industry will just keep paying more and more to attract workers from other sectors. This soon hits the point in the modern globalised world that the industry just becomes uncompetetive and closes down, outsources, invests in labour reducing machinery, or moves. Wage stagnation is very real in Britain however, and for pointers to the cause you might want to look at why non wage inflation has been so low for so long, putting aside the last 18 months of FX driven inflation caused by comparatively weak sterling post Brexit vote (This adds around 15% to most imported goods).

I was in sixth grade and did not catch it live, as I was just getting off the bus when it happened. A number of students were already in the classroom when it was streamed live, and I remember one of them running down the hall past me and other students coming in the building, saying "the space shuttle blew up, the space shuttle blew up!" over and over.

I know we ended up watching the replays for a while and then I don't recall what we did after that. It was a big deal, that's for sure.

And I have to say, I just laughed out loud, literally, at that "No, a Bud light" comment because it's been so long that I can chuckle at how wildly inappropriate that comment would have been, and yet, exactly right. We are human, after all.
I haven't checked the others, but in the first one they seem to have given people 400 IU Vitamin E, which is equivalent to 180mg synthetic Vitamin E or 12x the RDA for Vitamin E. And they did that for 7-12 years straight. Also, the increase in cancer risk doesn't seem that significant if I'm reading the results right.

I'm not a fan of multivitamins that go crazy over the RDA unless I know the RDA number is way too low to begin with (like in Vitamin D's case). It's also an especially bad idea to go crazy over RDA with fat-soluble vitamins, because those are the ones that are stored in your body for longer periods of time. At least the water-soluble ones come out when you pee, but I think there's some new evidence that even some of those is stored or at least it may not be a good idea to "mega-dose" on them.
Excitement is a feeling, which nobody has to justify. Hype is a behavior, and people can and should be held responsible for their behaviors.

Especially so given that hyping something is "to promote or publicize (a product or idea) intensively, often exaggerating its importance or benefits". It's not a neutral act. And in the commercial context, the purpose of hype is generally, in one way or another, to put money in the pockets of the person doing the hyping.
I often wonder how much the multi-sensory aspect plays into it. When I see an image, I don't really process it as an image, I map that visual cue into the full gamut of sensory memories (?) of that object. I could write a page worth of these descriptive meatspace 'vectors' that are invoked when i see a banana and color my interpretation of its context.

If my understanding is remotely correct, an RNN's view of a banana is basically like the face in Aphex Twin's Equation -https://youtu.be/M9xMuPWAZW8?t=5m30s (headphone users beware). No qualitative or quantitative information about the object, just a certain tone of integer triplets in a cacophony of noise.

It seems like a many-dimensional view of the world around us is going to be necessary for systems to more effectively intuit about interacting with it. It could be something we synthetically inject or we may need to give our models new senses they can use to extract their own meaning.
Indeed. But I'm reaching a point where I'd rather find a single employer that I can work with for more than two years. It's... harder than expected.
The problem with "investigation" tasks or "spikes" is that it still boils down to essentially having to ask permission to do something. I really think extreme one-sided work transparency and a culture where everything is measured and permission has to be sought to work on something is entirely antithetical to encouraging creativity. Innovation tends to come from playfulness, and having to schedule a Jira task with a project manager for every idea is going to have a chilling effect.
Anedote. I became a vegetarian and started 10,000 unit daily vitamin D supplementation this winter. I've also experienced cold after cold. My nose is a river. Body aches, fevers. So has my family, and our friends' families.

So by the logic of the other children of the parent I should quit my vitamin D supplementation, and probably avoid friends that take Vitamin D. ;-)

That can be an issue, but also if you're streaming then you're probably doing so in landscape and having your display configured in portrait just seems so much more productive.

You can compensate by having a much higher resolution landscape display where certain windows are portrait, but the text won't be that readable on stream without dynamic zooms.

I think the real value is that if you're having motivational issues and streaming gives you more consistent motivation then it may offset the downsides. Writing some code in a suboptimal environment is better than writing no code in an optimal environment.
Some topics lend themselves to videos. This is one of them.

Many (most?) topics can be explained just fine in text though. And I can read a hell of a lot faster than I can listen to someone talk.
No expert here. Since last year I seen a lot of news about consumption being down in a lot of areas.
C's not really easy mode, either. When I look at all the Unix utilities written in C, I want to weep, because it made things like buffer flows & other security flaws such attractive nuisances. C is easier than C++, certainly, but it's still a pretty rotten language to actually write code in.

And I write that as someone whose second language was C, and who loved C with a passion, for many many years. I didn't realise how much I was fighting the language, and I didn't realise how much in any C program the trees of incredibly verbose C-isms obscured the forest of what I was actually trying to do.
It doesn't have to be a balancing act. When I know Im going off the rails and trying to implement an idea that might not pan out, I'll do it in off hours. Yes I might be doing "free labor" but I'm usually scratching and itch and the learning process helped me.

I've made the mistake recently of being too detailed an open about the joe and it's come back to bite me since we have "gone agile". I try to be as vague as possible now. The less they know the better. We do have Code reviews by the "dev lead" since most of the other developers are junior, but luckily, I am the "dev lead".
I don’t agree, music is art and subject to interpretation to different people in different ways.

Hey there, I also made an account to share my experience and success (only a few weeks in)

I've been struggling with depression all my life, which makes me less productive, which makes me more depressed ("stuck"). I've found my depression is highly correlated with productivity levels.

Try this at your own risk:

I've started taking Adderall twice a week (1/8th of a 30mg extended release), on Tuesdays and Fridays. That gives me 24 hours of significant productive output, followed by another 24 hours of above average productive output. On the "Off" days, I am significantly less depressed and my productivity is at a normal level (supplemented by morning coffee and occasionally 2 mg nicorette).

I also take Magnesium Glycinate 400mg twice a day, and Zinc 30 Orotate once a day, which has slightly decreased my depression (stronger affect on anxiety).

I would not advise taking Adderall more than that, as you risk increasing your tolerance (I have a friend who has ADHD and is finishing up their PhD in molecular biology who recommended this dosing frequency). EDIT: and its good to go back to being normal human. Adderall kind of makes you more robotic/logical.

It's important to have a plan when you take take Adderall. Usually, whatever you are doing before you dose is what you will focus on for most of the day. If you don't have a plan, you could end up browsing the internet at 100K words per hour, or masturbating for long stretches.
I do simple exercises by myself (pastebin clone, fib, file manipulation etc.)

I try to avoid example code snippets, since I want to figure it out myself.

Oftentimes when reading those examples everything seems to make sense, but when I'm faced with repeating what was shown I get stuck.

So now I avoid them completely and try to figure if out myself.
Edit > Clear
I've seen that macros 2.0 are landing this year, but it's unclear to me whether "macros 2.0" only refers to `macro!` or also to procedural macros.
> In particular, I think the idea that anyone serious is going to build a large desktop application like a web browser in a language that doesn't expose OS-level threads to the programmer is pretty laughable.

Why? It doesn't seem inherently laughable to me, at least. Why couldn't someone write a browser in Go? I anticipate that it'd be easier to understand & easier to extend than one written in C++ or C.
Excited to hear how this develops. It's often recommended not to go into business with your friends because the dynamic changes and your friendship can get replaced with a business relationship if you're not careful. There are also explicit hierarchies in business that might conflict with your friendship roles.

I haven't heard the same advice about not getting into business with your family, but I imagine similar challenges arise where you have to be conscious of turning off the business relationship over the holidays, etc.
Please note: Starting with Debian 7, the minor number is not part of the Debian release number, and numbers with a minor component like 8.7 or 9.4 now indicate a point release. Basically, only security updates and major bug fixes, with new updated installation media images. This, 9.4, is not a new major release of Debian.
I force myself to read a book about it, from cover to cover; then I start using it. That gives me a helicopter survey of what the language looks like and its main ideas.

Of course I forget all the details, that's what books are for. It does seems more effective than just trying to map what I know from other languages into the new one.
Goes to show how poorly adapted our intuition is in manipulating space across dimensions. Its scary to think about how much ground breaking science is still left uncovered because of this blindspot.
Coffee shop refuses to serve police officers. Cops say it’s a teaching moment
> There have been a lot of times in other jobs where we'd have a slack in our schedule and I used the down time to make a change that was really necessary and took a minimal amount of time, mentioned it in a standup meeting, and got blasted for not working on our "commitments" for the "sprint" (even when I had nothing to do).

That doesn't really have anything to do with agile or scrum though. Just add a refactor/investigation task to the backlog for the sprint. Those types of activities should be justifiable too. If your team doesn't allow those types of tasks for some reason, that's more of a team problem than a problem with agile.
Most packages have pretty good documentation about anything Debian-specific installed in /usr/share/doc/<packagename>/README.Debian[.gz] and /usr/share/doc/<packagename>/NEWS.Debian[.gz].
Interesting! If I have a period of sleep deprivation followed by a night of catch-up sleep, I'm often always slow and groggy that day. It seems worse if I sleep late rather than going to bed early. I mainly fight this by having a pretty regular sleep schedule and avoiding significant sleep debt.
I don't get the "international" part. Any country could add it's own regulator and companies wanting to serve the local market would have to abide by it. If you want to serve a global market, you'd have to satisfy them all, including FCC.

Of cause there is little incentive to to create such agencies as long as the FCC is taking care of it well.

I really wish the press (and a subset of highly vocal Deep Learning practitioners) would stop conflating Deep Networks with the entirety of AI/ML. This hallucination problem is

1) highly pronounced in this one class of methods that has surged in popularity in the last 10 years

2) difficult to address because these methods are (so far) quite opaque to human understanding

I work on multiple in-production vision systems and in cases where we absolutely need to know why something went wrong we use much more conventional, but more transparent, learning algorithms. The performance loss is often an acceptable tradeoff for being able to understand your edge cases.
Programs do well defined things in their space but are sometimes aware of stuff outside their space - eg if another program slows down the machine exposing a timing bug in the first program.

Why? I've changed jobs 4 times in the last 9 years and make 65K more than I did then. On the other hand, I stayed at one job 9 years - seven years too long - and between bonuses being cut and small raises, I only made $7K more in year 9 than I made in year 2 and found my skills outdated.

I vowed I would never make that mistake again.
Ferro – Simplifying web development, no more HTML
Yeah, well, rightfully so. I used to love Debian and I've grown more and more disillusioned by it. Their main problem is two fold: 1) They mess with the packages they distribute. Like, a lot, rather than trust upstream. And 2) they don't update things that seriously need to get updated.

Example 1: Using System Python on Debian is a notoriously terrible experience for example, because they split up the venv module from Python itself and distribute it separately. I've had so many issues because of that and there's no good reason to do it. It's part of the stdlib, it doesn't need a separate package.

Example 2: Debian Jessie shipped with the ancient pip 1.5.6 (https://packages.debian.org/jessie/python-pip - upstream is at 9.0.1 since 2016) which never got updated, just stayed stuck there, wtf? Such old versions of pip are lacking support for a bunch of things that python packages today use on setup, so it would install things in a weird way and then packages would be broken, users wouldn't understand why. One of the many cases of not giving users access to a more recent version of a package, causing the user's experience to be severely impacted (and of course, they won't know to blame debian or the pip version in this case).

Edit: Incidentally, that last bit is why I always, always do `pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools` whenever I create a new virtual environment to make sure I don't get issues installing packages.
For training your ear, I'd recommend finding Colombian shows, which tend to speak slower and are usually easier for new learners to engage with. The boundaries between words are not as clear as we perceive them to be in our native language, and speech segmentation is actually a fascinating process. Training your ear comes down to practice and having a large enough vocabulary for your brain to start the segmentation process. Someone recommended Michel Thomas's courses, and I'd highly recommend you check those courses out as well.

Formalized lessons through something like iTalki might be a good investment too if you can't find a good language partner.

Apps can be a good tool and people tend to be fairly happy with Duolingo and Memrise. If you feel like you're getting to the point where you can get through reading the news and some basic books, I'd recommend giving an app I just released a look, which is called Langliter. In my biased opinion it's one of the best way to build your vocabulary and break past the intermediate plateau a lot of people get stuck at.
This a great way of framing what his tunnels can do. There is only so much capacity in a tunnel, but unlike current train systems, with automatic vehicles you can mix high density people movers (buses) with lower density (cars). If the the tunnel gets close to full then the high density vehicle get priority. Or maybe who ever pays most gets to go. That way you can get more resources to build more tunnels more quickly. A bus full of people should be able to out spend a single vehicle almost all the time.

Since supporting individual transport options over a certain size and speed seem to be politically impossible in urban America at the moment, promoting his system as mass transit instead of a brand new concept of mixed transit is a great idea. Cargo can/will also go in these tunnels, but I guess at the moment politicians can't/won't support transportation improvement for trucks.
That's exactly what I remember. Central time zone.
You can implement matrix exponentiation recursively however.
Really nice, and works excellent on mobile. One minor grudge: the notes seem to be just a tad small for touch on mobile.
You’ve hit my first main point of hatred against agile. It’s really a form of micromanaging in disguise. They sell it as developer empowerment but that’s just cognitive dissonance.

I didn't catch it live, but the school principal announced it over the PA system. It didn't seem as big of a deal to me at the time to warrant a PA announcement, I was in high school at that point.
