Only if the measurements span several orders of magnitude and you want to keep the relative error low. Otherwise you'd be better off with fixed-point numbers, which are spread out more evenly (about half of the IEEE floats are less than 1 in magnitude).

And if you don't limit yourself to linear mappings, you can probably do even better with a non-uniform integer encoding.
I remember me and a friend figuring out how to use `net send` to send messages in my middle school typing class. They had everything so locked down, but they allowed command prompt for some reason. We felt so accomplished.

That's really sad news, their service was very reliable and always the fastest to send alerts (compared to Pingdom and StatusCake). Also their pricing was usage based - no oversized plan to choose from. Will miss them.

Anybody around here can recommend a good alternative?

I think I detect a tone of sarcasm, but just in case:

For the first ~99.95% of that time range, infant mortality was very high, and then it sort of dropped like a rock. A lot of the change is attributable to breaking with tradition.

I don't mention this by way of suggesting that everything traditional is dangerous, so much as to say that this is one of those spots where we should regard a simple appeal to tradition as being particularly unconvincing.
As far as the radio volume issue they were having: My 1997 Audi A4 had a similar problem. Unlike the Tesla, I didn't have the option of a firmware update to fix it. :-)
Yes, and when people act on what you’ve just said, the rental housing supply shrinks and the rent rises accordingly.
Yeah, I wonder if the google3 access may have been the real reason they asked him to stop poking around.
While I agree that ActiveRecord is really good in a lot of ways, the entire ecosystem around it is a giant clusterf* waiting to happen, and it always does. Fat models, callbacks, concerns, scopes... changing a model reliably without 100% test coverage is damn near impossible for any relatively complex application and knowing what your model is going to do on any given call is a nightmare when you have a dozen+ callbacks/concerns/scopes/whatever. That 'oh crap I need to deploy a big change, is it going to work right?' feeling never, ever goes away.

I've used both ActiveRecord and Entity Framework extensively. And while Entity Framework definitely has it's drawbacks, it doesn't get any better than Linq in combination with static compilation for a large and complex code base with a lot of moving parts.

And yes, "don't do that" is all well and good when it comes to the 'right' way to do things in Rails/ActiveRecord, but when DHH himself is driving the callback train at full speed and you take a project over from someone who jumped on the bandwagon and didn't actually know how to properly apply these tools to the code, it's going to be a pretty nasty wreck.

You can be damn sure I'd rather take over and refactor a large, messy C#/Linq/Entity Framework project than a large, messy Rails/ActiveRecord project.

Also I could never get over the fact that Rails developers for some reason treat foreign keys like it's ebola. "It's just not the Rails way" is not a good answer for not using foreign keys.

Nah, this is wrong. Putting a Nazi symbol on your car with the intent to piss people off is a juvenile provocation and in no way requires that the perpetrator actually harbor a secret desire to bring about the extermination of the untermenschen.

Completely relinquishing the ability to judge things on their actual context in favor of the unthinking punitive application of absolutist principles is the beating heart of every anti-human ideology.
OP did say that the key card worked but the phone recognition didn’t.

I’ve owned few cars with any sort of phone integrations beyond basic Bluetooth and they almost never work. Heck I own a Toyota truck they’ve been making for decades with a digital interface that’s probably five years mature and you still have to install one of their (overwhelmingly one-star rated) apps to do anything interesting with it. even if the app does work you get integration with a B-grade navigation app or iHeartRadio.

It’s not really a fair comparison.

Infant mortality was not primarily from “SIDS”, but rather from disease and poor nutrition.

Nobody is suggesting getting rid of indoor plumbing, water treatment, antibiotics, vaccines, hospitals, or large-scale agriculture.
One video on the /islandweller channel is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQx-tuW9A4Q
a 56-minute visit / presentation with Doug and several others at Google.

Inspirational ideas (unfortunately displayed with slides instead of Hyperdoc demos) and perplexed reactions in the ending Q&A session. These ideas are so different; ordinary presentations are clearly incapable of selling them. (As Nelson, too, found out repeatedly.) Looks like job#1 is bootstrapping Hyperdoc presentation methods. Guess the 'Mother of all Demos' needs a 'Mother-Squared'.

Another reaction: the video I saw had very low resolution, and the audio was recorded in a terribly noisy environment. I'm completely unable to process how this could -ever- have happened. TV did better in the Ted Mac era.
The incentive to evict is created by vacancy decontrol, a concession made to free-marketers. I’d guess most rent control proponents want rents set by fiat at all parts of the lifecycle (allocating apartments by chance instead of income) which has some problems, but not this one.
Same here. My son was born perfectly healthy etc. We tried the whole crib next to the bed. Didn't work very well, so we co-slept. They both got a full 8 hours sleep a night together. It was great.

I've never ever slept so still in my life. (tho, he was on his mums side.)

When we transitioned him from sleeping with Mum to his own crib, it went perfectly. We just moved him one night and that was it.

Our doctor was very supportive. Told us never to use drugs/alcohol and co-sleep. To be very careful and so on (basically echoing the article) - and it worked out for us. I guess if he was born premature or something, they'd probably say "don't do it".

I'd be curious to see some actual numbers here...

I ride motorcycles, and am personally fully aware of the fact that this mode of transport makes me to a first approximation 10 times as likely to die on the road compared to driving a car, and I'm happy to accept that risk for myself.

(Probably because I have enough hubris to believe I can make a significant difference there by being more skillful and less reckless than all those _other_ motorcycle riders - which I believe psychologists refer to as "illusory superiority"...)
In most companies, the decision on headquarters relocation is primarily based on where the senior executives want to live. Actual economics are secondary.
Howdy! This having looked through the repo and docs, this feels to be very Prolog-y, or more specifically a fairly domain specific implementation of a thing that's otherwise generalized typically by Prolog.

I'm really curious to hear if it was in any way informed or inspired by other logic programming systems, and/or what some of the more challenging aspects were of implementing a predicate logic system like this in Golang.
If you're claiming mere opinion, then why characterize my position as "extreme" and "unreasonable"?

It's one thing merely to disagree, but those words are another matter. They call for a bit more effort, especially since "reason" is usually objective.

I have made a concerted effort to outline how I come to the conclusion of circumvention of political process and Constitutionality, yet you've not directly responded to any of those explanations, especially not how someone reasonable might reach a less extreme conclusion.

> Workers should be able to band together to advance their cause without regard to whether or not they are public employees.

No disagreement there, but that's never been at issue. What's at issue is money, and money that's being forcibly taken. Alternatively, it's workers being forced to "band together".

What I'm saying is really going on is that they're able to "band together" to influence government appropriations in a way other than the normal political process (without saying normal process if fair/effective or not, since that's another topic).

> Working for the government should not necessarily mean that your rights get limited.

Why not? What happened to the notion of public service? No amount of wishing will ever turn it into the same kind of relationship as an employee has to a private employer.

> There are exceptions. Like for the military.

And why the inconsistency with respect to the military? To me, drawing a bright line there (instead of, say, at either, carrying a gun or "critical" public services) approaches a position of extremity.
I have two responses to this article:

(1) My ancestors participated in a multitude of activities which I find misguided or dangerous. It is a logical fallacy to say: “a practice happened for a long time, therefore it’s positive.”

(2) If you drink or smoke (??) your odds jump from 1:16,000 to 1:150????? We need a better explanation of that jump. A LOT of people smoke or drink. This headline is dangerous by giving the impression that these studies were wrong. They weren’t wrong, it just might be an overstated risk for some demographics.

They give an analogy of dying in a car accident. I face less risk of dying in a car accident than some people for good reasons: I work from home, don’t drink much, good income, etc.

But I still wear a seatbelt! It doesn’t make sense for me to say that my instincts tell me not to wear a seatbelt and my demographics check out so it’s no big deal.

In short, come on NPR. This is shoddy and dangerous journalism, even if the premise ends up being validated.
What's the problem you're having with it? I think this was discussed on irc recently? This was the example I gave of using process_create which works:

write(In, "hello"), nl(In), close(In),
read_line_to_codes(Out, Codes).

> It’s not the place of the Supreme Court to play the role of the legislature. Janus’ claims to having his free speech impinged are ridiculous. He can’t point to an aspect of free speech that he can’t now do but could if he didn’t help pay for his collectively bargained contract.

Actually, it is the role of the judiciary to determine if the legislature has overstepped the bounds of the authority granted to it by Congress, by providing public labor unions with a degree of special authority granted to no other entity. And, as explained elsewhere in this thread by an actual lawyer, there's a pretty solid case that it has.
Wow that's insane. That defeats one of the primary purposes of having an eInk screen.

I've been tinkering with electronics for about 30 years. Can do some cool stuff like assembling a power supply from scratch or an amplfier, can also put together projects with arduinos, raspberries, etc.
I still fry components once in a while. But it's fun!
If you are a programmer one hour of your time is worth a lot more than the cost of the components of many fun projects.

A few tips:
- Do not touch anything you cannot afford to lose.
- Buy at least twice as many components as needed for a project, if this is too expensive, that's a good sign you might want to get more experience with more simple projects before taking on this one.
- Avoid soldering as much as possible, at least at the beginning.
- If you want to learn how to solder do it with very simple circuits like those that only include LEDs and resistors. Practice a lot and then use your skills on a project you like.
- If possible, measure components before installing, do not trust your knowledge of color codes or nomenclature or pins configurations in the case of diodes and transistors.
- When tinkering with digital circuits try to use only 5V level components, avoid 3.3V components. Of course you can use converters to interface but it's nice to avoid that complexity at the beginning.

Hope this helps.

My first-release Subaru XV wouldn't re-start lots during the stop-start feature... in traffic. You'd have to put it in park, completely turn the car off, take key out, put key back in, and restart the car. Turning off the stop-start was the "solution" offered online, which reset every time you got back in the car (so it was easy to forget).

Also the entire entertainment unit would "crash" every couple days, and not work until another full "reboot" of the car like above. The screen would just lock up, music would stop, nothing at all on the centre screen would respond.

I also had a VW Passat TSI that went back to the dealership 6 times in the first year for electrical issues. Everything from the gearbox sensors failing causing the car to go into limp mode, to the centre screen locking up like the XV (in this case it would just fail to boot when you turned the car on), to the electric seats moving themselves (bad ground). They ended up buying back that car after the entire motor AND gearbox needed replacing at 11mths in.

I've owned a fair few new cars, and very few haven't had issues. Most were so insignificant I just waited until next service schedule, but many needed to go back under warranty.

New cars are complex machines that have problems.
YouTube anecdotes, but here is Gabriel Wyner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBMfg4WkKL8 describing his experience of learning nothing much linguistically in High School or College, but then joining immersion based courses at an adult and making significant progress in a few weeks.

> In my experience, learning Prolog properly requires dedicated guidance, and it would be highly unusual to achieve mastery without it.

Where would you find such a master, though... If you are not studying at a university where Prolog is taught, you're pretty much out of luck, I think. (I am assuming that asking questions in newsgroups/IRC/etc is not a substitute for it.)

If you must stream (if you are up for physical media, last I checked, Netflix was king, and has am incredibly broad catalogue ) try Amazon Prime.

You have to pay a rental fee of like three or four bucks per, just like blockbuster, but they have a much deeper pool of old movies than Netflix Streaming, I think.
We are started an a startup (Openland, W18) to find a way to product more housing and during initial research i found that there are a lot of empty lots in LA that costs about $10k-50k. Tried to search in different states and found same lots at Long Island.

So why people are not trying to buy land and build something on it instead? Buying a house will cost magnitude more than buying land and building your own house. Building will take time and resources, but... paying for a loan for 30 years? I think i can spend two years building my own home for the fraction of a cost of buying existing one.

Why no one is doing this?

Substantial drinking makes people sleep much more deeply, similar to severe sleep deprivation. (Someone who just pulled 2 all-nighters in a row should also probably not co-sleep with an infant.)

For example, people who fall asleep with their arm draped over the back of a chair, and remain asleep even though their nerve is pinched, can end up with severe damage to the radial nerve, in some cases requiring months for the nerve to heal. This gets the name “saturday night palsy” because of the association with alcohol use: the pain would ordinarily cause a sober and well rested person to wake up and shift around.

Basically, someone who is substantially drunk has a much higher chance of rolling over and crushing the infant without waking up. We’re talking about getting very drunk here though, not sipping a glass of wine with dinner.

>All I would get if I buy a $3k car is unnecessary suffering and inconvenience, and significantly higher risk of death in an accident, that wouldn't amount to much savings in hindsight.

Perhaps so, but at some point one does see diminishing returns on getting a newer vehicle.

$3K these days won't get a hassle-free car, but $6K perhaps would.

How does one get safety statistics? I thought that any car made, say, in 2010 wouldn't come with a significantly higher risk of death compared to the same model made today.

Modern medicine is a result of one of those breaks with tradition - specifically, a change in mindset from using received wisdom such as, "this is how we've always done it" to a more experimental, evidence-based approach to deciding how to do things.

In the spirit of modern medicine, I'd suggest that that article was chock full of stats that should get much higher billing than a line of reasoning that's of a kind with one of the main ones that people use to promote acupuncture.

When I was younger I was into noble pursuits. I loved to study programming and would talk about ways I would want to help the world with my future skills.

That's all gone now... At some point I started to get darker and more cynical, and began to see technology not as a way to improve the world, but rather as a way to take what is mine. It started as a few disappointments here and there, then into short bouts of anger, then expanding into a constant simmering rage. Don't know if I'll ever recover.

I have the DPT-S1 and it's was a great device to use as a student when I had to read tons and tons of papers. I could mark up the papers all I want and not lose my papers (which I used to do all the time). Though the pen is pretty frustrating to use (because of the lag) and the device is super slow at loading, it was bearable enough that I would use it all the time. Now that I don't have to read pdfs all that much, I don't use it much. But I really want a device like that except it's fast, has a nice pen, has high dpi, and you can browse the web with it. Well..I guess basically I'm thinking of a tablet except eink.
