The first version I read was the Constance Garnett version, but re-reading I read the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation and I'd recommend that version. (Although that one is not public domain yet of course).
Many people have children when they're young, and don't know an adult life without them. Or the question may have simply been intended to find out what unexpected activities other people have. I don't see how it's "patronizing" at all.
I have to argue against this, because spreadsheets are a real pet peeve of mine. It can be hard sometimes to see _why_ a spreadsheet is broken. Spreadsheets simply don't scale (and I don't mean lolwebscale or whatever.)

If two business processes interact through a spreadsheet, or more than two people edit, you're going to immediately run up against the rough edges. Multiple people editing the same sheet inevitably ends in error. It can take a really gross amount of time to update the data when you're pulling/pushing from two sources. It may seem small on the surface, but even 2 hours a week adds up to nearly 3 weeks of work over a year. Can you replace this spreadsheet in 3 weeks?

I've seen this play out many times at large and small scale. The first example that comes to mind is a 10-hour day trip my wife took to go out of town and manually update a whiteboard because somebody messed up the shared spreadsheet. She was very unhappy, and this wasted a precious day during a _very_ busy period. Initially, the whiteboard and spreadsheet worked great, so they didn't "fix" it. It didn't scale to the busy times and really screwed them over.

At a much smaller scale, I wrote a quick SQL query to get some business metrics for the CEO. He asked if I could run it for him every week. Since I didn't have a good place to put this query, I just ran it manually and emailed it to him at first. Then he wanted to share it with someone on the opposite coast outside our network, so he asked if I could start putting it in a shared spreadsheet. My initial thought was to bang out a page they could pull up instead, but I figured it wasn't worth it. Then he wanted another metric. And another that required a bit of logic that couldn't be done in SQL. Pretty soon I was spending an hour a week manually running SQL and copying the results in to a spreadsheet. (We're a Google Drive shop. No way to connect Sheets to DB2.) That's simply not worth my time. I should've listened to my first instinct.

The initial investment in a spreadsheet isn't large, but the ongoing maintenance can really rack up hours. I think it's very often worth investigating any spreadsheet that users have been maintaining/recreating for more than a quarter.

Sounds like 'harder' is an understatement - according to that article no planets have been discovered with this technique, and it is unlikely to yield any discoveries any time soon. (Technique is to directly observe the star wobbling in space rather than measure doppler shifts.)
It is high time the news’ eye moved away from the low-paid backup driver and the homeless victim and looked further into holding accountable the managers and the engineers behind the avoidable technical corner-cutting of their “move fast and break lives” culture.

Popular culture still imagines that Waymo’s level 4 systems and Uber’s not-even-close-to-level-3-no-matter-what-they-say are a single technology. The bad apple is rotting the bunch and it is painful to witness.

So true. I wish more people had progressive and liberal views towards the matter. Like in the Bay Area... probably the most progressive (and wealthiest) place in the U.S. It's population is comparable to Finland's. And, like Finland, there is virtually no homelessness. Closest thing to Utopia you'll find in the U.S. We should look to it as the example for the rest of the country.

I'm a little confused. Why did you start to change the way your spoke?
I understand using the word "yet", but why the other ones like dropping "can't"?

>I had to hack my language way more and I think a generalized approach to teach kids how to identify words they use to undermine themselves will work better than being told what words they need to change.

Is this approach of yours about being more positive and less normative, and also being more optimistic that you can improve?
If you do it one time, I suspect you're not going to get dinged for structuring.

If you do it all the time, you'd want to have a pretty solid explanation for why.
You know that crazy prepper neighbor who spent last fall putting a shelter in his backyard? Yeah, he'll be fine.

For the old folks like me - there's roughly a 1:100 conversion between sieverts and rem. So an anticipated 3-6 sieverts over 2 days is 300-600 rem, which is fatal to nearly everyone.
I clearly said primarily. An end to Prohibition leaves organized crime with a tiny fraction of its current revenues. And frees law enforcement to give extortion and kickbacks (along with actual crimes with actual victims) lots more attention.

I can't shake the feeling that the launch failure cannot have been the initial cause for this fallout. Rockets sometimes fail, and I doubt that anybody believes the launch was intentionally sabotaged.

If I had to guess, Zuckerberg is envious of Musk's charisma and popularity. It can't help that Zuckerberg is a one-hit wonder while Musk has four or five successes that each, individually, could put you in the history books. Plus, obviously, every one of Musk's ventures except PayPal is cooler and more beneficial for humanity than Facebook.

Musk seems to be very good at picking up on these insecurities, and to push exactly where it hurts. Witness his comment on their AI disagreement, and how artistically it combines feigned boredom and arrogant dismissal: "His understanding of the subject is limited."
It gets even worse: the prosecutors agreed to a quota of a particular number of prosecutions, which presumably translates into an arrest quota for the police:

> "King County prosecutors again agreed to meet particular prosecutorial goals in exchange for funding. They signed a written agreement promising to achieve a total of 14,800 “direct buyer disruptions”..."

When police start arresting people to make their quotas, they can end up arresting innocent people.

Also, the prosecutor's behavior goes beyond accepting money to enforce laws:

> "A legal scholar interviewed by The Intercept said he thinks that by calling consensual prostitution “trafficking,” the prosecutors’ behavior doesn’t only appear to violate those rules of professional conduct, subsequently hurting the right of the accused to a fair trial."

The group that's financing this, which was founded by a Texas oil heiress, is operating in several cities across the U.S.:

> "Demand Abolition has also provided millions of dollars in funding to law enforcement agencies and other organizations in local jurisdictions around the country, including Boston, Chicago (a part of Cook County, whose Sheriff’s office received $92,145 in funding from Demand Abolition between 2014 and 2016), Denver, Oakland (a part of Alameda County), Houston, and Dallas, according to tax documents."

I find it kind of disturbing that one person with millions of dollars to throw around can influence the running of local law enforcement all over the country. There is significant potential for abuse in a system that allows this.
Why do people always go right to bestiality whenever someone wants their rights to be respected? Gay people marrying, omg they’re going to marry dogs next!

No... they won’t. And they haven’t. I think it’s judt a way to try and instill disgust without having to own it, in other words, a dog whistle.

Crime and Punishment is a stunningly powerful novel.

For anyone who enjoys it or Notes From Underground, I highly recommend Demons, which extrapolates the ideas from both previously mentioned to societal scale.

I think it's his best by far.

A note on translations: I've read at least two translations for each book of his I've read. I generally prefer the Pevear/Volokhonsky translations, but there are times when the Garnett translations capture the spirit a little better. Both options are excellent, but read the Pevear/Volokhonsky if you have to pick one. Reading multiple translations can ultimately help provide a fuller experience.

Good lowbeams don't blind other cars. They create a curtain of light that's fairly uniform as bright spots hurt night vision.

At 45 MPH you should stop in under 50 meters in good road conditions. 50 MPH is around 53 meters +/- depending on the vehicle and road conditions.

Reflectors are very useful because they add cushion to that. And believe me that was heavy breaking situation. But, the Uber car did not even start to break.

> Spreadsheets simply don't scale

This means that if your computing problem doesn't need to scale, a spreadsheet may just be the perfect tool.

However, I agree with you. The next Facebook might be of whomever builds a spreadsheet that scales.
I don't know if it's been fixed, but I recommend pointing mutt at an offline copy of your mail instead of directly at an IMAP server. Use isync or another program to sync your mail.

Criminal charges require the DA to prove your intent, not the other way around.

If you want to cry about the lack of due process in civil forfeiture, I will be with you 100%.

Your complaint was about _criminal_ structuring, which puts a significant burden of proof on the prosecutor and not on the defendant
The majority of eligible people in your area aren't going to use that fallback. Effectively dead.
If that’s the case, put me in jail and throw away the key. But I think the opposite: between a spreadsheet and something engineered I will take the (google) spreadsheet every time.

I’m allergic to the over-engineered solutions so prevalent.

Lets not discourage people from being interested in things by pedantry. This would be like yelling at kids for reading harry potter because it's not Proust.

If someone gets into understanding more about a thing by doing some DIY then they're getting into the thing. They don't have to go from scratch on every single part.

People don't have to learn to cook a burger starting with planting seeds and raising a steer. Nor do you have to be capable of working on the Epic graphics team to be able to build a good video game. No you just need to use unity and make something fun.

Encourage people to get into the field and let them self select on what interests them, not what interests you.

More people having even basic assembly knowledge the better.
Ah, this completes the triad for me. I had previously heard FB deny responsibility and Kogan deny responsibility. Hadn't yet heard CA deny responsibility until now.

That's settled then. I guess nobody's at fault! Success has many fathers but failure is an orphan.

Clang harks back to 2007 and LLVM 2003.. is this a research project that was recently taken back up?

I was curious about the implementation because I've had rough experiences with Vala and Nim's approach. Unlike with "transpiles-to-js" languages, transpiling to C has some tooling gaps (debugging being the big one). I admittedly don't have a ton of experience with either language but I couldn't find a plugin that gave me a step-through debugger for something like CLion or VS Code. You can debug the C output directly but this will turn off newcomers and assumes the C output is clean.
"You do realize that non-U.S. persons not in the U.S. are not covered by the U.S. Constitution?"

Raiding has to come with a sufficient reason for those raided to believe the raiding party already has at least a portion of the material, either obtained through interception or inside sources.

The idea is that the people being raided will hand over as much as possible because it’s in their own best interest - knowing that anything they don’t produce may be in the material already obtained, making them liable for destroying it.

A late and preannounced raid without any material obtained beforehand is useless.

(It should be noted that there is no need to actually obtain any material if you can make the people raided believe you have some of the material)
>You don't need a domain-specific tool for every problem your business has. If a spreadsheet works, great.

In a criminal context the burden of proof would rest on the prosecution to prove a nefarious purpose.

This is because—as in all criminal cases—we presume innocence and put the burden of proof on the prosecutor.

While the commission is not directly elected by the people, it is indirectly. That is in accordance to how many governments are formed.

Every country can send just one member of the commission. Decisions are made by majority vote. Every member has the same weight, except the president, which is a tie-breaker. How again does the stronger country impose rules on the weaker?

The EU binds countries just like countries bind regions and cities. Why don't you complain about that? Well, because it is helpful if the government acts in the interest of the population.

A required part of understanding the EU is letting go of irrational attachment to notions of nationalism.

It is good that we have several governments working in our collective interest on many levels. Be it the city mayor, the regional government, the countrywide government or the European Commission.
They should also understand that they video is not an accurate representation of what a human eye can see... Let alone some high tech sensors.
It is important to acknowledge that school serves multiple purposes. It is definitely meant to educate students and hone their minds (and bodies). But given that students spend most of their day at school or doing school related activity, it is the only playground for kids to learn to socialize with their ilk. And cloistering someone away from that experience in a formative phase just to emphasize one axis of development (because they are “gifted”) is to do them a profound disservice. At the same time, the same can be said of forcing them to socialize while neglecting their mental development.

So, the “right” solution would involve giving kids opportunities to challenge themselves in avenues where they are strong, and ensuring a rounded experience.

Which is what schools are supposed to do, but they find it hard enough to cater to the “average” student :-/
> 4. The non-linear workflow of Jupyter

This has always seemed crazy to me for something that is called a notebook and seems designed for exploratory analysis. It seems like there should be a record of the order cells were run, and what their contents were when they were run, unless you have chosen "Kernel > Restart & Run All". Also, why isn't that command given prime importance with at least a button in the toolbar?

I thought I was just using Jupyter wrong, so it is a little surprising to see the same complaint from someone who has used it "roughly 3 years up to 60% of my time".

I like the model of using RStudio with KnitR. I rerun the entire document every now and then to make sure it accurately describes the thought process in a coherent narrative. I can cache results of operations that take a long time, but doing that is explicit, and the command to do so can be found in the code, rather than a consequence of an unrecorded action.
Excel spreadsheets are a lot more flexible and easy to use than domain specific tools, particularly for someone already familiar with Excel.

I agree this is a good place to look. I'm not sure a new tool will be an improvement as it will always have limitations and a learning curve Excel doesn't have.
Walter Rudin's book on Real Analysis is normally considered as classic in this area. However, you can also take a look at Mathematical Analysis by Tom M. Apostol, which helps in developing good intuition about the subject.
