In general we're pretty happy with Trint for American & British accents for our stuff (though not to say we won't take a look at what you've got :)). They usually require a bit of tweaking, but it's pretty good. The killer feature for us would be training against people with other accents. You'll notice our transcripts really constitute a pretty big part of what we do, so a good quality transcription service for people with different accents would be an awesome thing.

e.g. clearly once this course leaves early access we'll want to get this copy-edited, and Yan here is British, so even here Trint's not always great :) https://livevideo.manning.com/module/38_1_1/production-ready...?

Although European cities do exists for way longer, for most cities, that's only true for the small city center. The larger newer parts have been built in about the same period as most USA cities: the 19th and 20th century. Since the 1940s the car has become the dominant mode of transportation in European cities as well, and particularly up till the early 1970s new city planning was quite car focused. You can still see that today by these large multi-lane roads through heavily populated areas in cities. But also a lot of industrial parks have been setup with only cars in mind. In the meanwhile these choices are in the process of being reverted by limiting through car traffic, adding bike lines, sidewalks, more green areas, and so on.

Local transportation policy, maybe, but that is not "public transport in general", i.e. the concept of public transport in the abstract, as opposed to its implementation in specific situations.

In an Japanese article the guy says that he was kicked out of Sotobanari island after becoming famous for showing up in a Japanese TV show; many tourists came to the island, the relatives of the owner of the property wanted to do some farming in the property, and some people were concerned that some other street people will do the same thing like him.

For these reasons he was asked to leave the island. If you want to read in more detail below is the article in Japanese.

For us it’s hard to conceptually free ourselves from our existing points system with Chase. We spend about $125k/month on our card and get something like 1% in points back. So we blow past the $5k AWS thing (which I agree is a cool concept) in about half a month!

I’d encourage you guys to try to keep innovating on the rewards side though (like you are with the current rewards). It seems like one trick is that it has to scale to businesses like ours that are still smallish but have significant spend.

This article seems to be vague about what 'one shot' means. The closest it gets is 'one video', but one video might contain many examples. In the first case - put the peach into the red bowl - one example is not enough to distinguish this from, for example, put it in the most distant container. If the demonstration contained only one example, then it is unclear to me how strongly, and how specifically, the meta-training needed to pre-condition the system in order for it to pick the 'correct' interpretation of the actions in the demonstration.
Yes, that is great indeed!
My problem with "iterators" is that they violate almost all OOP practices: they're not encapsulated (their cursor state is exposed by `hasNext`, `next`, etc.), they don't manage their own state (they rely on having their `next` method called), they resist other attempts at encapsulation (using the same iterator in two places will break both, so we must know implementation details like where that iterator is used), their methods are sequentially coupled, etc. With the main reason to do this being improvement to the `for` keyword, which is structured programming not OOP. Urgh.

Far better to have something like `map` (or a `Mappable` interface or whatever), or even Javascript's `forEach` method IMHO.
This initiative by Google may well be assuming that the Google/SpaceX satellite based ISP will be able to deliver high bandwidth data to almost anywhere on earth once it ramps up in the early 2020's.
Love personal automation.

- found a service where in the morning they bring 3 meals + 2 snacks, everything you should eat for the day; especially during stressful times, it's so so good not have to think about food; you just eat what you've been given;
- I no longer trade cryptos myself, I have Shrimpy, HodlBot and Iconomi to do that for me; this may not be "personal" but it saves me at least 10 hours every week, and the performance is a little better than my dumb self;
- I found a shirt I adored, so I bought a bunch of identical ones; this in addition to having identical socks and identical underwear makes it that I only have to choose&match my pants and shoes; and mine kind of all match; saves headspace;
- I never read or watch news; only read headlines in newsletters I trust; saves time and headspace;
- I used Github Probots to automate A LOT of replies issues/PRs; I consider this "personal" because it's tied to my hobby;

In addition, for the past 6 months I've turned a bunch of things I was doing / wanted to do into emails. I've built https://schedulethatemail.com/ for that sole purpose, help me do the stuff I wasn't doing, or that was repetitive (shameless self-promotion, I know). Here are some of the personal things I've automated through email, though some are now canceled:

- I used to forget/postpone seeing some friends I really care about, now I automatically email them to catch up (different intervals 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months); some have no idea it's automated :-)
- I always wanted to write a journal, but never stuck to it; now I receive an email from myself each day with a few questions, 8/10 times I answer; works because I use my email as my todo list; push notifications don't work for me;
- I have this poem, this mantra, this whatchamacallit that I like to read every day, to remind myself of who I am, my values and principles; especially when I interact with people I don't like, every day, it helps me stay myself, and not change in a bad way; works because I use my email as my todo list;
- I automatically email my landlord, accountant, etc to tell them I've done something, or I'll do something within 24 hours, before they even ask; self-applied peer pressure - I'm on time most months now;

I had more, but I forget...
To be fair, Scheme implements tail recursion, which converts properly prepared recursion into an iterative loop. Usually converting the recursive call into a GOTO. So if used correctly, recursion in scheme isn't a stack issue.

That said, I love my for loops, too.

It depends on whether the underlying stream supports "peek". If not, in order to determine whether there is a next element, the iterator must consume the next element and hold it in local memory until a call to next.

That can matter in certain cases of large objects or slow or side-effecting stream access
Tail calls were made explicit in Clojure, with the recur construct. It had more to do with the JVM than syntactic benefits, but it turns out to be a decent idea.
> The odds of 1:500 are worse than 1:400.

Indeed odds of winning are technically "better". But if I gave you the opportunity of getting $1,000,000 99/100 times for the cost of $1,000,000 I don't think anyone would say those odds are better than 1:400.

> Anyway, can you even talk about "expected return" on independent events like these?

Technically, I used the wrong term. I meant "expected value" which is `probability of winning * value of winning`. However, you definitely can use "expected return" to talk about singular events if there are known probabilities involved.

> There is no expectation of you winning, ever, in either scenarios.

Surely you expect to win occasionally (namely 1 out of 500 times or 1 out of 400 times). If you had no expectation of winning, there would be no point; it would just be lost money.
There was another story few months ago - someone had made a Instagram account for a beautiful tree, it became famous and one day it was cut down.

I'm another of those technical founders who choosed to stick with the code. Even though we are still very small, it has been a subject of conversation since the beginning between my co-founder and me, and after 2 years of trying to convince me to assume managerial tasks, she finally came to term with that idea.

It helps that a late-founder joined us and is already assuming the VP of Engineering tasks. This was done even before our seed round, at only 2 developers. The sooner the divide is made, the sooner you can fully concentrate on building the product.

I never really liked the "CTO" title, as I don't think of myself as a "Chief" or "Officer. I'd rather be called Lead Developer.

It is true that a lot more stuff gets kept these days. But we seem to be much more liable to losing important information. As Bret Victor [0] has pointed out, we use largely the same mechanisms for managing the most trivial to the most important information, and most people don't really understand how they work.

> a 2013 survey of law- and policy-related publications found that, at the end of six years, nearly fifty per cent of the URLs cited in those publications no longer worked. According to a 2014 study conducted at Harvard Law School, "more than 70% of the URLs within the Harvard Law Review and other journals, and 50% of the URLs within United States Supreme Court opinions, do not link to the originally cited information." [1]

I doubt that the US Supreme Court was regularly losing track of cited documents before "information technology" came along. A lot of documents may be recoverable even if the original URLs are broken, but is this really the best we can do to manage information in the information age?

So glad to see someone make this point.

Every time I read histrionics about how the euro is a straightjacket, a trap, an evil German plan to benefit itself at the cost of its neighbours etc I just sigh. I am not even a supporter of the EU, but blaming the euro for low southern productivity is just wrong. The PIGS countries aren't seeing high unemployment and poverty because of the euro. They'd still have high unemployment even if they had their own currencies. The causes are fundamental.

All a floating currency would do is make it easy for them to screw over lenders in the short term by inflating their debts, which would be compensated by the markets charging much higher rates (this already happens because investors fear default instead of inflation). It'd also act as a forcing function to require the people living there charge (foreigners) prices that are reasonable for what they can provide, rather than expect them to accept market realities and actually lower their prices in order to compete.
I don't really care if Tesla's account balance is ok, as long as it's selling something big and new, it's an improvement.

Making electric cars is not just a business, money and accounting doesn't matter at this point. The money side for large projects like this, is an abstraction you cannot focus on. Negative account books will always exist where innovation happens.

Forget the money, and try to think what gets made. That's all that matters.

Actually you don't need another contruct than goto. You don't even need functions.

But for some reason given the choice, people use them.

It makes things easier to reason about for most day to day problems.

I train people in programming for a leaving. "Map" is harder to understand than "for" to most of my students. "Reduce" harder than manual looping. Recursion harder than iteration. Immutable harder than mutable.

Now I always end up teaching the entire toolbox. Those are all very useful concepts that I use in production and I do want my students to have a large solution set to their future problems.

But there is a clear pattern in my teaching experiences.
The author was using the "pay 50k to win 1M at 1:400 odds" example to illustrate how the calculating the expected value (in a mathematical sense [1]) does not always result in the "most reasonable" decision. If I understood correctly, his point was that _even if_ the expected value (reward*probability - cost) is positive, it still might not make sense for the average person, because of the non-linear relationship between the money they have and the utility they will derive from it (i.e. the first dollar is more valuable to them than the millionth dollar).

The example doesn't support that point very well because the expected value of making that bet is negative, so the bet would not make sense even in the naive case, where all dollars have equal utility.

I try to use the phrase "tail call optimisation" when an implementation may perform it but the language doesn't require it, and "tail call elimination" when the language requires it (and hence any implementation which doesn't is non-conforming).

A champions run to an entrepreneur
The Passion and economics are hard to mix and for an entrepreneur, it is essential to strike a balance between the two. Passion offers an unlimited energy to pursuit dream, and an economic acumen makes the dream viable. A journey of the athlete turned entrepreneur “Rob” is an example. A champion Athlete in Engineering years, accustom to a daily running regime with buddies and friends, inspired Rob, design & build Run2Geo, a platform that facilitates organizing and live monitoring of training events, across geo-locations.

The App can theater live stream data of events from multiple geo-location that can be used to measure athletes performance. It also shares topology and other vital information to the users and the buddy athletes. Today, over 7200 (approx) user are using the app every day, setting and monitoring workout goals. The platform is monetized in September 2017 and Expected to achieve breakeven by November 2018.

It’s a success of Leo TechnoSoft’s BOMT – “a partner product development model”, that helped in cultivating innovative idea of Run2Geo into a winning business model.
