I don't want him to need the loan, but I respect him enough to trust him with the option. I'd prefer a competitive marketplace for his loans to shaming the concept of an alternative financial system, and I absolutely would not put it past capital to collude to keep the interest rates high.

I don't know that, though, since these are risky loans. Case in point, this very dude didn't pay it back.

It's be nice if this could be defaulted to something like the base name of the containing directory, so I could put this setting in ~/.gitconfig
The interest rate is high also because default rate is high, there is no financial background/credit history check most cases, and this is what makes them profitable pretty much.
> unlike C, it is not a fundamental part of the lower level semantics

I don't think this is an accurate characterization of C, actually. Unless I'm forgetting something, an implementation of C that heap-allocated automatic storage and used continuation passing style could still be conforming.

Or in other words, the C standard doesn't specify anything about the memory layout of the stack- the word "stack" isn't even in there!

The trick is that every user uploads his own matcher. The server only sees encrypted matchers, feeds them data and returns the encrypted results. You as a user decrypt your results and nobody (except Intel) was able to see them.

> Proof of guilt is required in criminal case

Proof of culpability is required in both civil and criminal cases, though the standard of proof.is different.

> so absence of evidence is evidence of innocence.

Absence of evidence of guilt isn't evidence of innocence, though absence of evidence of guilt makes a not guilty verdict nore likely. The presumption of innocence means that innocence is the default conclusion in the absence of evidence, it doesn't change what is or isn't evidence of innocence.

Load new problem, new program into memory, and forget what you were last doing.

I used to say that being a great programmer was being a professional forgetter -- in that you had to know how to forget vital details without getting yourself hurt. So, like a professional tumbler, or a stunt-person specializing in falls. It isn't about the falling. Anyone can fall. It's the expert who can fall without getting hurt.

If you structure code correctly, you can forget about all the details you need to know to keep from getting hurt, but rediscover those things quickly when you need them. This is a great way to talk about program design in a nutshell, but it's also a terrible way, since it's prone to make people with short attention spans think you're nuts!

The entire notion of identity theft should be inverted. It wasn't your identity that was stolen, it was the money of which ever place didn't verify the person taking the money. So it should be their problem, not your problem.

Judea Pearl uses the Monty Hall problem in his latest book, and when he draws out the causal network, the issue becomes obvious. The game-show host chooses which door to open based on two factors: he has to choose a door you didn't, and he has to choose a door with a goat.

Hence, the door he chooses to open is probabilistically informative about your initial choice. Treating the door he opened as information on which to condition does change the posterior.

You're overthinking this. What's going on is simply that when you say you're going to do something, people (especially the ones who've lent/invested money) expect you to do it. If you don't then you rapidly lose credibility.

U.S. Cyber Command moves closer to a major new weapon
Regardless of the multiple technical issues, there is also the base presumption that every customer is trying to cheat the store on every transaction. So every item you scan has to be placed on the giant scale that is the bagging area, and remain there until your entire order is processed.

So the usage pattern goes: scan, bag, scan, bag, scan, stop and wait for employee, scan, bag, enter code, weigh, bag, scan, stop and wait for employee, scan, bag, process payment, move all bags, leave. You can't scan the bread and eggs and the watermelon and leave the fragile crushable items on the belt until the heavy items are already in the bag. Everything must be moved immediately to the bagging area, human! So if you don't plan your scanning, you end up moving some things twice. Weight discrepancy noted. Return items to the bagging area and wait for the store employee to verify that you aren't cheating!

For the regular checkouts, the usage pattern is often customer moves entire order to first conveyor belt, employee 1 scans all items and passes them onto the second conveyor belt. At this point, there may be an employee 2 that bags the scanned items and places the bags back into the empty cart as employee 1 processes payment, then both bag until the order is processed. That works fine. Not great, but it works well enough.

At some stores, the bagger employee has been deprecated. The cashier bags items into a bag carousel. At some stores, the conveyors are not used. Cashier scans items directly from the cart. The most efficient stores, such as Aldi (Aldi Sud, in US), scan directly from one cart into another, and don't even bother with bags. The customer can keep Tyvek bags in their vehicle, and bag directly from the cart to their trunk, if they even care about bags at all. (Maybe they keep specialized containers for specific sizes of cans, instead?)

Self-checkout doesn't work like that. It's almost designed to be annoying and frustrating. It could be so much better if they only designed the experience from the ground up instead of trying to make a drop-in replacement for the employee checkout lanes, which were designed for different criteria decades ago.
It's not Unity, it's the developers. Unity can perform very well if enough care and effort is taken to understand it. The problem is a lot of Unity developers don't take the time to learn it's mechanics or just don't understand programming all that well. If you were to attach Unity's profiler to a majority of the Unity games out there, which I'm sure with some you could because they're probably built with the autoconnect profiler set to true, you'd probably see a monstrous amount of garbage collecting occurring. Not understanding update cycles or the performance implications of newing each update is what I've seen be the true source of performance loss in Unity, in general. Unity also has a GetComponent<T> because they need to access a class attached to a Unity GameObject, but instead of caching that reference to the gameObject they just do the GetComponent each frame or each method call, which has a performance impact because Unity needs to filter through all the active GameObjects to find either the first one or all of the ones that have said component. Stuff like that is why Unity games run so poorly, the engine is almost to accessible.

China is earmarked Hainan for development as the Chinese Hawaii. Lifting sanctions on Internet access for tourism is a relevant step in that direction. Have a look at President Xi's remarks during the Boao Summit 2018 in Hainan. This will become a very interesting area to watch...
"In 2006 AMD (struggling) bought ATI for $5.4B. Intel just didn’t even notice. It was super weird."

I think this is the best line in the whole thing. Intel didn't notice, and it was super weird, and it was the best thing they ever did.

Fun fact: the first thing the engineers did with their new toy was bolt then-new R700 pipes to a hypertransport bus, so it used hypertransport to fulfill memory requests instead of a native Radeon GDDR controller.

The purchase of AMD and the Christmas morning giddiness of unwrapping that gift and turning it into what eventually became the prototype of the APU was the most brilliant thing ever.

To put it in perspective, lets count all x86 sales: all the desktops, all the laptops, all the servers, all the weird little things like x86 chinese tablets, all of it.

Combined Xbox One and PS4 sales (both massive APUs, essentially) dwarf all of the sales both Intel and non-console AMD do; it dwarfs it in per chip and per thread. Intel only claims more sales in dollars than AMD (incl. MS and Sony deals) because of Intel tax, no legitimate reason.

Similarly, lets do the same with Radeon sales vs Nvidia GPUs... take all of the Nvidia GPUs (desktop, laptop, ARM SoCs like the Shield and the Nintendo Switch, server compute, etc), and all the AMD GPUs that aren't XBOne and PS4... console sales dwarf everything else that both companies make.

AMD won both races and no one even paid attention: AMD makes more x86 CPUs (both per chip and per thread), and more GPUs. Optimizing performance software (ie, games) has far more focus on both of AMD's platforms than anything else.

Intel and Nvidia are now the underdogs in their own races. This happened silently, and the cheer-leading for Team Blue and Team Green drowned out reality for a bit.

This really depends on how difficult the tests in the course are.

I don't think it is uncommon for tests to be written such that with a student a strong command of the material will not score 100%.
Pretty sure an ARM tablet chip is not going to beat Intel, even on the low end. Otherwise we would have moved on already. Also, apple does like AMD and uses their gpus because they have bad blood with nvidia. Apple primarily makes laptops and AMD has not been competitive until they developed Ryzen.
How though? I mean, houses themselves haven't really gotten much more expensive. Two things have happened.

One, we're all living much larger than before. i.e., our average home sizes have doubled in about 50 years, while the number of people per household dropped. [0] That's a sign of wealth more than anything else.

And two, we've all decided to live next to each other. That's a choice. It's a choice coerced by reality, e.g. jobs being in population centres like cities, but it's a tradeoff between affordability and proximity to an economic, cultural, political and social centre.

Housing in and of itself is not unaffordable, only in certain conditions. Affordable housing today would become unaffordable if we decided we wanted homes twice as big with fewer people living there. Or it'd be unaffordable if we all decided to want to live on the same tiny piece of land.

For a little context, if you look at population density in the US, it's 33 per km2 on average. That's about 5.5 football fields per person, or in other words, about 22 football fields of space for parents with two kids. Compare that to a city block in in Washington which holds 38.000 people per km2, more than 1000x the population density of the US. It looks like this [1]. This shows how concentrated we really live in some places we call unaffordable.

Most of the cost of housing actually isn't the home itself. Homes are pretty cheap to build. A 1200 square feet home for two people costs on average about $150k to build, or $75k per person. That's about 2 years of the median personal income in the US. The big expense is in the land, but only in some places. It's unaffordable because we choose to live at 1000x the population density of the average in the country. If you've got 1000 plots of land, and we all decide to live on one of them, and across 50 years double our home size and reduce number of people we share our homes with, no wonder it's unaffordable.

The solution in part has to do with building more homes, zoning laws, construction red tape. But mostly, it has to do with the fundamental fact that we live larger and more concentrated. We need an economic and cultural shift against that. Urbanisation is great, I live in a city, but we have to do away with the model of a few hotspots and decentralise more, invest more in smaller cities, remote working, and infrastructure that connects cities. There's no zoning law that keep ultra-concentration affordable.
