Qt, Gtk, Tk, wxWidgets, Delphi (whatever the open source one is). All have pros and cons depending on your needs but you should be able to throw something pretty serviceable together pretty quickly. The biggest catch for most is the reliance on c/c++, but if you want to be lean on memory then you probably want this anyway.

They’ll agree because it’s reasonable and makes sense but the real test will be if they ask if they can book over that big maker block, just this once. And this once. And this project is really important so just this once.

It’s like technical debt. No manager is going to disagree that it’s important. But the test is if they ever make time for it or drop the story for something else.
Hmm.

(Massive) Australia Tax notwithstanding, I wonder if people could buy things "via" Australia in order to be able to send them back and benefit from the country's consumer replacement laws and such.

1. It's not a tax any more than buying a ticket for your local government run public transport system is a tax.

2. Why do people always jump to thinking road pricing will be extremely expensive? Outside of rush hours, it would probably still be free almost everywhere, and it should offset other road financing costs motorist - rich and poor - currently pay.

All this means is that capacity is so far behind demand that current spending doesn't come close to establishing a reasonable equilibrium. Which is what you'd expect after decades of major population growth, accompanied by infrastructure neglect.
This was a transparent attempt to use techies love of Waze to influence opinion about ultra conservative public planning ideas.

Building more roads does not make traffic better. They shit on public transit while completely ignoring any other benefits (e.g. cost efficiency, energy efficiency, safety) or the possibility of growth.

It was obvious that this article was bullshit within the first few paragraphs.

That ... doesn't follow. It's OS X that I buy Macs for. I have a very small number of complaints about it, but many more about every other OS I've ever used. Like mutt: it sucks less.

Also: I loved my previous Mac devices. I don't love my recent MacBook Pro. But the next Mac I buy in a few years time, they'll probably have fixed it up by then. Switching to a whole new ecosystem for the interim strikes me as crazy.

Rules of most groups are, directly or indirectly, decided by the same group. Such as professional associations, your local tabletop gaming group, homeowner associations, or democracies.

They’re not perfect, but at least there is a chain of input. For Facebook, that group has opposing motivations to this “community” – its lets and requirement is to exploit this resource, ie your cold hard data.

This is not a critique of capitalism – it is an argument that large corporations cannot create communities.

The chance of collision should also be considered. Since intersection collisions are the same or worse for riding a bicycle on the sidewalk, we should consider overtaking while there is insufficient space which seems like it would be a strong function of extra space on either the road or the sidewalk and relative speeds. Im not sure why you listed 60 as I'm not really aware of any roads with such a limit that also reasonably expect bicycle traffic.

Not sure how much of it is that they're theft-proof vs anyone who wants to steal one either already has or doesn't care enough to do so. You could e.g. line the inside of a U-Haul with RF-blocking material and load up a ton of these, strip the radios in there, and sell them, but if you were to try this at a large enough scale it would likely be worth them going after you. If they lose a few here and there it's probably just cheaper and easier to move on. It looks like they're using either http://www.segway.com/products/consumer-lifestyle/es2-kicksc... or https://www.amazon.com/Electric-long-range-Fold-n-Carry-Ultr... for most of these companies. The resale value probably isn't great for beat-up rental ones, especially if they still have any of the company branding on them or have e.g. obviously ripped apart electronics (or both).

Bicycles can be parted out if they're expensive, or re-sold on Craigslist very easily. Many less people are in the market for these things, so it's probably just not worth the risk + small expected profits to steal them.

Amazon Elasticache by comparison:

They just run Redis on stock EC2 hardware hence the odd GB numbers.

But one advantage of AWS is that with Reserved Instance pricing you could get those numbers down by 2/3.

I'm a fan too. I think we'd see fewer people take Uber/Lyft's for short drives (less than 2 miles), but commute traffic will stay the same due to "induced demand." Any reduction in the number of cars on the road will be met by more people willing to do a "super commute" from outside the city. Right now the traffic into cities is dependent on the jobs (and their pay) available downtown, and people's willingness to commute from afar. If the number of jobs increase, or highway capacity increases (along with added housing in the suburbs), more people will take to the roads and the roads will still be clogged. Only if a lot of mass transit is added to distant suburbs and no growth in suburban housing would the amount of traffic decrease. Anyways, vehicular traffic could still be reduced during non-peak hours which is a great thing.
There's never a very 'reliable way' to backtest, as any interaction you would have done with the market is not accounted for. If you intend to trade (very) low volume it might work decently (on longer timeframes). Existing (open source) and my own home-made backtester use tweaks like slippage to try and 'simulate' this market interaction.. A few I have seen actually use tick-by-tick L2 data to try and get closer to the 'truth'.
IMHO, the only really reliable way to evaluate a trading algorithm is to trade it live. This will cost you money, unless you get everything perfect the first time, but doesn't any kind of passive income generation require an initial investment?

Honestly I don't even use Swift for serious iOS apps, just for 'throwaway' apps for lack of a better word. Swift would need to stabilize for at least 5-10 years before I would consider building anything with Swift as the foundation. I strongly believe in backwards compatibility, the Swift team does not.

I think that's basically correct.

an interesting corollary is that along with increased congestion for both modes, comes economic growth. when it's easier to get around for more people, productivity goes up, consumption goes up. it's really shocking to me that politicians don't get this. my suspicion is that a major public transit project generally lasts longer than a term of office.

I don't claim to have solved the problem of interviews, but I do think I and the candidate get more out of it when we leave it a bit more free-form. I'll cover architecture of our system, API design stuff, debugging, testing, security, problems we're currently having, etc. I'm looking for passion so if the candidate starts riffing on any area, I'll let the conversation flow into that area and go as deep as we can. I usually play dumb as we talk, asking the candidate to explain why and ask what does that mean if they throw an acronym or design pattern into the conversation. A plus of that Socratic method is that if we get into an area that I don't know much about, the candidate doesn't know the difference :)
Machine Learning: Attention Mechanisms Decoder Trees for Code Generation
Everyone knows Stallman is very hard to work with. But not everyone knows he is also one of the nicest, most honest, down-to-earth people ever.

He actually spent time to read and answer every single email I sent to him despite me being a little no one. I know he couldn't possibly have hired a person who pretends to be him -- he corrected the lingo of the sender. Ah, such a Stallman thing :).

I don't have much to say to Stallman most of the times. So I just sent him notes thanking him for GNU on GNU anniversary and wishing him a happy birthday on his birthday. Last time I sent him a happy birthday note, he replied something like he will not live forever. We need more people who stand up and fight for software freedom. Are you ready to become one?

I wonder if he will actually be the last person who is a genius and willing to set aside personal financial interests and live humbly, or maybe he will be the last person that has the balls to actually do it.

BTW - Normally I don't care what people call anything. But Stallman wanted to call desktop distros GNU/Linux. So when I created a distro, I call my distro Crankshaft GNU slash Linux. I use his software everyday to get things done. It has never asked me to activate, never asked me to patreon him, never asked me to pay, never asked me to like and subscribe. It never betrays me and I know it never will, it just works. If he just asks me to call his software in a funny way, I am happy to call it GNU slash Linux out of respect for him.
My 2015 MBP's keyboard AND trackpad died about six months into owning the machine. I treat my computers very carefully, and this current one rarely leaves my office.

However, Apple's Genius people told me that they wouldn't offer a warranty repair, because I had apparently damaged it. They wanted several hundred dollars to replace parts, of which needed to be ordered in and would have seen me without the machine for about a week, which wasn't really ideal. At a guess, the ribbon to the motherboard had broken. But honestly this is the first computer I've ever owned that I haven't just ripped apart and fixed myself, due to the perceived complexity of the operation to do so. (I don't need the magic smoke escaping from my primary workhorse).

So since then, I've just had my mechanical keyboard and mouse plugged in, effectively making my laptop an expensive desktop. Coworkers love mechanical keyboards @ 120words/min

To do matrix multiplication on many matrices "stacked" together in one step, use numpy.matmul: https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.m... (and so there's no need to slice up the array, convert to matrix, etc.)

Note that the Numpy devs are trying to (if they haven't already) get rid of the "matrix" class and just use arrays, but of course dealing with legacy code is always an issue. Once that's out of the way, people won't be distracted by "matrices" to do matrix operations, and hopefully they'll see you can do matrix operations on arrays directly. (And yes, in Python 3 you can use the @ syntax to the same effect.)

For my side project, I've been coming at essentially the same problem from the CMS angle. n:point is very neat by the way - great job!

I'm building a service that makes it possible to quickly create reusable content objects using Trello. The flow is: you write your content objects as cards in Trello, then you hit my service to get an array of self-contained JSON objects.

In terms of monetization, I'm building the service on stdlib.com. This means that I can charge a very small fee for each API request. (My service is not intended to be called from front end code.) Each user will also have an allowance of free calls. And I've already open-sourced the core functionality [1]. Definitely open to suggestions on this approach, though.

I keep thinking about adding support for schema validation. Your project has given me more to think about on that front! However, my immediate goal is to get the MVP ready to share.

Right now the MVP is live, but the landing page is not done yet. Feel free to get in touch if you're interested in more details - my email is in my profile.

Those people don't appear out of thin air, the only reason increasing capacity can be shown to not influence commute times is because such studies look at small increases of capacity followed by decades of no capacity increases at all. They're totally biased.

To talk about efficiency, it's also not very efficient to assign a whole dwelling to each family. But that's what people want to have, so you can either plan for that, where you at least have the possibility of success, or you can continue to plan cities based upon utopian fictions, and continue to get the same results.

On the other hand, it's pretty easy to widen the scope of what you're proving correct about a program in such a way as to make it impossible for Haskell to help you. For instance, "accomplish this in O(n)" or "use less than 1 MB" or "in less than 1 second." People usually only concern themselves with the aspects of the implementation that Haskell prioritizes by surfacing as return values. But there are certainly settings where the method used is as important as getting the answer mathematically correct--in fact the rise of NoSQL shows us that there are even situations where doing the wrong thing quickly is better than aborting in the face of unrecoverable errors.

Meetings.

<rant>
This has slowly and surely become the top reason for productivity loss at work for me and in my opinion, also for the team that I work in. I have walked out them once I realize there's no valuable input or output, declined them, carried my work in the meeting room, passively attended them, aggressively tried to keep the meeting on track, MoM'ed the hell out of them and just about tried every single trick I've known to get an ounce of productivity from them. And I have failed.

My next attempt is to measure time spent in meetings per sprint and report it out in the retro (meeting, ironically). I have no clue how I can get the people responsible for developer productivity see this gaping hole that are meetings that I don't have to be a part of.

There can be a fair bit of inertia involved in using an OS. Like most mac users, I complain about the direction of macOS while still preferring it to the alternatives. And I have time & money invested in software & a well-established configuration that I would rather not ditch. In the end I care about my work, for which the os is no more than a support, so I don't want to invest attention or time on a transition.

Personally, the touch bar is a bridge too far and I won't be buying another mac. But it does take something like this (which I consider pretty egregious) to push me over the edge, so I can understand why others might choose otherwise.

Why are cyclists <5% of commuters in SF, where the local government has invested many billions of dollars into building a perfectly serviceable cycling infrastructure? A pattern which you can see in a number of different cities around the world who have done the same. It's because no matter what people say, they don't want to cycle to work. I read a headline recently that said cycling in SF was up 10%, celebrating the billions spent on the infrastructure, however nowhere in the article did it mention that the 10% increase amounted to a total of ~3.5% commuters on bikes.

You don't have to be a genius to figure out that only devoting 50% of your transport budget to the mode used by 90% of the population is not a recipe for success.

There are a lot of people using the very same algorithms for trading, and still make money.

Using a simple EMA crossover signal with RSI and volume support is quite sufficient to make lots of good trades, one big reason being the fact that a lot of traders actually use the very same indicators, and self-fulfilling the prophecy.

It takes more than just reading a few indicators to consistently trade successfully, but my point is that many 'algorithms' and 'trading systems' only really work when they are well known.

> All this means is that capacity is so far behind demand that current spending doesn't come close to establishing a reasonable equilibrium.

I'd hesitate to specify that certain equilibria are reasonable while others are not. Building more roads to reduce congestion does not achieve that goal, in part because of the latent demand you describe (see [0] "Effect in transportation systems").

Ultimately, if your goal is to decrease time spent traveling, you will see more benefit from alternative policies. Such policies may include:

* increasing cost of using the roads (e.g. congestion pricing)

* constructing alternate, denser forms of public infrastructure (e.g. subways)

* increasing the density of passengers in vehicles (buses, carpooling, etc.)

* funding technological advances that increase the density of vehicles utilizing the road (e.g. self driving cars)
