Madison Square Garden in particular seemed to attract a bunch of cool and crazy events. They invented "The Madison" track race that's sort of like a relay race on a bike. Instead of passing a baton, when one partner comes around to meet the other, the moving partner grabs the stationary partner and slings them down the track, hoping to transfer as much of their momentum as possible.

They also used to host six-day long bike races that I think were eventually forbidden for being too dangerous, as i think riders would fall asleep and crash.

"copy doesn't copy directory structures, it will only copy the files, hence the error message you're encountering. To do a deep copy such as this you can enlist either the tar command and use the construct tar cvf - --files-from=... | (cd /home/tmp/test/files/; tar xvf -) or you can just use rsync."

I wonder how many pay for hosting despite only having a subdomain.

What exactly in my post indicated that I have any axe to grind with Finland of all places?
Finland and Russia have a pretty long and complicated history dating to the napoleonic wars.
In more "recent" history Russia and Finland were at odds since the Russian civil war and the Finnish civil war that followed.

During the Finnish civil war the "Whites" which one were already supported by Germany with Mannerheim which remained the commander of the Finnish forces through WW2 having a pretty close relationship with Germany.
Overall even prior to the winter war Finland was not exactly "neutral" or to be more exact passive and the whole concept of "greater finland" after the Finnish civil war wasn't just a shrug.

During WW2 the Finns acted in their own best interest and they were not coerced into every action by either Russia or Germany as they had a pretty clear agenda of their own even if they could not act on it all the time due to well them being Finland.

To their credit they are the only country that managed to fight both the allies and the axis with the same government as after Finland broke the Ryti–Ribbentrop agreement by negotiating a separate peace with Russia (or well the Soviet Union) they had essentially to spend the next 7 months "fighting" the German forces with Russian troops supporting them nonetheless but for all accounts the "lapland war" had only a few engagements.

Finland also gave us the only known recording of Hitler outside of his speeches where he bitched about losing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler_and_Mannerheim_recordin....

Different interpretations of QM suggest different things. There's no wave/particle duality in Bohmian mechanics: there's literally a wave, and literally a particle, and the particle is guided by the wave.

Relational quantum mechanics does something else:

And the many-worlds interpretation does yet a third thing. They all make the same predictions of measurements though, which means it's rather a matter of philosophy and/or practicality which one you subscribe to.
My simple and possibly harsh viewpoint is that if you want to live somewhere forever, you better own the property you live on.

I find measures to limit the amount that property tax can increase on a property you own and occupy much easier to stomach than measures like rent control.

Here is a small gripe with philosophical tradition that I'm sure many of us share: they easily could have phrased this without symbols[0], but ended up using them anyway. The only reason science and math papers use letters in body text is because they are about to be used in equations! After they are introduced at the expense of using "professional" grammar, p and q never show up again.

Winglets are fixed. These are new longer wings, which would make the aircraft too wide to use existing terminals, except that Boeing have built the wingtips to fold up while taxying and at the gate. In flight they are extended straight out as extensions of the wings.

Winglets are cool, but a longer, straight wing can achieve the same effect more efficiently by giving the wingtips washout (negative angle of attack).
Yep, and you have to also watch out for their multiple EOL lists. I have a modem that has been EOL'd if it's a leased modem (meaning they will give you a new one if you're leasing it) but has explicitly not been EOL'd if it's customer-owned. But guess how many Comcast reps catch that distinction? None, of course. Even when I show them their own page that explains this, they insist that I need to get a new modem.

Due to the exile, the Jewish people were widely dispersed throughout the entirety of the Roman Imperial era [1], even more so after the suppression of the revolts. So regardless of whether Mandaeism is pre-Christian or not, Judaism must have been nearby. Especially in Babylon.

My bad! Thanks for the correction!
Perl 5 does have an object system, one that was based in no small part on Python.

About the biggest difference is the built-in constructor `bless` is simplistic, and should be wrapped in a method.

class Person:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
def sayHi(self):
print 'Hello, my name is', self.name

p = Person('Swaroop')
p.sayHi()

In Perl 5

#!/usr/bin/perl

use v5.12;
use warnings;
use feature 'signatures';
no warnings 'experimental';

# Allows for Python style constructor syntax
sub Person {
Person->new(@_);
}

package Person {
# this could be added to a base class instead
sub new($class, @args){
my $obj = bless {}, $class;
$obj->__init__(@args);
$obj;
}

sub __init__($self, $name){
$self->{name} = $name;
}
sub sayHi($self){
say 'Hello, my name is ', $self->{name}
}
}

my $p = Person('Swaroop');
$p->sayHi();

From a structural point of view, there is almost no difference. What little semantic difference there is could be put into a module.

Not that I would write it that way when Moose-like class modules exist

# Allows for Python style constructor syntax
sub Person($name){
# use the default constructor
Person->new( name => $name );
}

package Person {
use Moo;
no warnings 'experimental'; # subroutine signatures

has name => ( is => 'ro' );

sub sayHi($self){
say 'Hello, my name is ', $self->{name}
}
}

my $p = Person('Swaroop');
$p->sayHi

Moose was based on an early design for classes in Perl 6.
(and is apparently so good there are implementations of Moose in Python and Ruby)

class Person {
has $.name;
method sayHi(){
say 'Hello, my name is ', $.name
}

# Allows for Python style constructor syntax
submethod CALL-ME($name){
self.new( :$name )
}
}

my \p = Person('Swaroop');
p.sayHi();

Whenever you are rewriting code, you will see ways of making it simpler and more concise. So there are probably just as many instances where if you translated from Python to Perl 5 it would come out shorter. (Or even Python⇒Python, Perl5⇒Perl5)
Abstraction Ad Nauseam
This feels to me more like a failure of imagination than a technical impossibility. C#, for example, handles some things like this by exporting a function with a special name in the compiled modules. Java could do the same - handle the overload by having them be two different methods named something like foo__String() and foo__Integer() on the back end. The naming may not be beautiful, but I think that, if you do it right (for starters, try to use more readable naming conventions than Scala does), it can make for a pretty sane user experience for consumers who are using different languages. Naturally, the best practice would also be to design so that the API remains clean for packages that are meant to be consumed by multiple JVM languages.

I also want to point out that having a type system with a stronger handle on generics is about more than just ergonomics when overloading methods. As another example, Java's story for auto-mapping libraries (serialization/deserialization, lighweight ORM, stuff like that) is materially hindered by the inability to express things like "List<MyDataType>.class". And those sorts of things do have a material impact on developer productivity - when I'm working in Java, I find that I spend an inordinate amount of time writing, maintaining and code reviewing all the extra glue code that needs to be written to handle tasks that other languages make almost effortless.
I feel like I've read similar comments on HN about cars and guns over and over. Seems odd to be preoccupied with cars and guns when most people don't die of either. What about chainsaws and bathtubs? Cigarettes, trampolines, etc?

Pneumonia, heart disease, stroke, COPD, pneumonia and lung cancer each kill more than cars in the first world.

In the third world, top causes of death are HIV, pneumonia, heart disease, diarrhea, stroke, malaria, TB, COPD, and measles - cars don't even make the top ten.

I was just adding buzzwords.

To be honest, if you haven't tried to optimize your hw/code/schema/indexes. I think I would start with hardware, then schema and queries.

I solved a problem with a database for a finance product, but the problem wasn't the database, it was abusing the ORM that made the resource usage go nuts. It made sense at the time of writing the software because the deadlines were tight, but should've been rewritten before the system started failing.
Software updates can possibly fix most of the complaints?

Any non-software problems further the theory that the quality of any car lies in the assembly line itself; Modern auto manufacturers’ core product is actually their factory.

> Shifty Jelly has never let me down either, but they got acquired by NPR.

Of all the entities they could be acquired by, I think NPR is the least offensive of all. And they've stated the intent is not to change how PocketCasts works. The other partners are WNYC, WBEZ, and PRX (helmed by Ira Glass). These are all major publishers of podcasts who have a vested interest in keeping PocketCasts a good app, and growing it. I think this is a bad example.

Thanks for the update. While it may be true that they'd be losing money overall without the membership fees, I doubt they sell most products at a direct loss. There's overhead for managing everything, but they surely don't set things up so that each sale of a washing machine or patio furniture or whatever is actually a net loss. I'd be shocked if having all members increase their spending would decrease rather than increase CostCo profits.
You're right. I wasn't super clear.
The key takeaway for me: "Make sure that whatever you do is very modular. Make everything as module as possible. Because you know that some of your ideas are going to endure, and some are not. The problem is you don't know which one will, and which one won't. So you want to be able to separate the pieces so that those pieces can carry on and move forward."

The Jewish people were dispersed when Israel was conquered, first by Assyria and then by Babylon (modern day Iraq). This led to the exile (diaspora).

In addition to the people the ideas were dispersed. A good example of this are the magi who come to visit the young Jesus following an astrological sign - an odd mix of Jewish and Persian syncretism.

During Roman times Jews could be found all over the Roman Empire. In particular Alexandria, which was a center for scholastic thought (see philo)

So it doesn't seem a stretch that religions may have been influenced by Judaism fairly early.

I've owned a Model 3 for over 5 months now with almost 6k miles on it. All I can attest to is my personal experience and the experience of some friends who also own a Model 3. Performance and handling on this car is truly amazing. Autopilot (at least in my personal experience) has been excellent. That said I understand the limitations of Autopilot and keep cautious oversight when it's on. I've head a few minor issues with the car but they are very minor compares to how great the car has been. For example, my trunk is difficult to close. One of the panel pieces was bulging out but service ranger fixed that. And sometimes the car doesn't recognize my phone to start the car, so I need to start it from the app or use the key card. Hopefully Tesla will be able to iron out these issues, and other issues that early owners have had. But I went into it knowing that I'm an early owner and will face some issues on first gen, first year car. All first gen, first year cars have their share of problems.

But overall, I suggest those who seriously want to know what kind of car the Model 3 is, is to test drive the car. And to ask Model 3 owners about the car. The vast, vast majority of Model 3 owners I've talked with tell me the car is truly amazing.
The main predatory business practice detailed in Evicted is selective tolerance of nonpayment. Let a tenant get behind on rent, then evict them for it if they become inconvenient in some other way (like invoking their rights).

It’s not clear what would be better. Should landlords always evict at the first missed check? That seems even more cruel. Or never? That has a certain appeal as a revolutionary-socialist redistribution of all apartments to their current occupants, but also means no more rental market going forward, or least higher prices on honest payers to cover the risk of deadbeats.

My takeaway from Evicted was that rents are too high and wages are too low, and regulation is a hopelessly ineffective way to paper over those structural problems.

I studied (non-software) engineering in Australia which had a mandatory ethics course.

The lectures focused around:

- Regulatory compliance (codes of practice, state laws etc)
- Legal responsibilities (I.e liability, disclosure, whistleblowing etc)

We were given different case studies to research each week and we spent time in class Tutorial groups discussing the case studies the next week: I.e. What ethical issues were involved and what an engineer's responsibilities could entail in each case. The Tutor mostly asked leading questions and class argued about possible responses.

Some particular cases I remember we discussed were: Genetic Modification, Challenger Space Shuttle Explosion, CFC's, Asbestos and Kansas City Walkway Collapse.
