>> Not sure from your post whether or not you realize the age of woman does not matter.

>It does matter. It makes it worse that they were still in formative years.

You are not wrong about the comparative "worse". But going around flashing people for your gratification is deviant behavior. Flashing over-18 women is wrong. Flashing underaged young women is even more wrong. This is exactly what I mean about "hinky". Your tone is defensive even as you are entirely correct.

I have a challenge for you. Take that entire blog post, rewriting and summarize it in 100 words or less. Then spend the rest of the blog post on what you can actually do for an employer and why your past won't affect a future employer. Sell yourself. The blog post as is crap if the intent is to sell yourself.
> Don't get me wrong, in Russia, you have many times more people with 6 years degrees in the industry than in US.

I'm confused, what does the comparison of the number of higher education degrees between the US, Russia and China have to do with taking your skills to a "developing nation"? Are China and Russia supposed to be considered developing nations in this comparison?
A space elevator that goes all the way from the surface of the Earth to orbit would be very hard to build on Earth because Earth's gravity well is so deep - though it's pretty easy on the Moon.

Something more feasible would be a Skyhook[1] which only provides part of the energy needed to get to space but which due to the exponential nature of the rocket equation could make a huge difference while being conceivable to build.

Never heard about those 'nicotine salts'. Had the same problems coming from cigarettes (30+ a day) to vaping, that is, in stock juice nicotine content is just too low.

All it took was self-prepared mixes, higher in nicotine, very low in aromas and those tobacco-like, vg/pg mix just as I like it.

Came out about fifteen times cheaper than the off-the-shelf juices. Compared to the cost of cigs, even not counting health effects, vape is about two orders of magnitude cheaper.

Now I dare someone tell me that 30+ 8mg cigs a day are somehow less harmful than ~8cc of vape.
I suppose one idea is to adjust your work hours, so your employer is keeping you cool during the hottest part of the day. They're cooling the place anyway, so I doubt it costs them much to have you there. And maybe cooling a bunch of people in one place is cheaper than cooling a bunch of nearly empty houses.

In contrast, I ride my bike to work, so I start super early in the summer in order to avoid getting drenched in sweat.

The problem here in the Midwest is that it gets cool at night, but with virtually no wind, so we use some window fans to bring the cooler air into the house.
Discussion here reminds me of Rule #3 in Richard Cook's classic "How Complex Systems Fail": Catastrophe requires multiple failures – single point failures are not enough.

Even the large designers (AMD, Apple, Mediatek) don't have their own fabs. You would "just" need to order a design made - probably for hundreds of thousands of chips to make any sense.

Is there information on what this step would actually require?

These days it is not hard to come across a variety of shocking images and I can imagine that exposure to those could be correlated with the sensation seeking thing, making the images much more ordinary and leaving other considerations as stronger effects.

For some of us, the images themselves would be quite disturbing; just the description of them (that I have heard before) was enough to provoke a fairly strong reaction for me. I might have a somewhat unusually strong reaction, but I would have guessed that it was a fairly small percentage of people who would have little or no reaction. OTOH, a lot of things would make more sense if that percentage was quite a bit higher than I would think.

Also, fMRI descriptions always make it sound like the brain is at rest until it is being activated, but that is not how it works. Obviously the imaging tries to take into account how it actually works, but there can still be a number of issues. I don't know enough to have any idea how likely it is that there are technical issues here, but functional imaging is an area where major issues have gone undetected for surprisingly long periods of time so it should always be considered a plausable theory that the imaging isn't actually showing what we would like it to be showing.
"your ISP can see what IP addresses you connect to"

Why not make some browser extensions that randomly connect to all sorts of websites and download random web pages?

There's plenty of bandwidth for us to do that these days, and your real browsing habits should be able to hide in the noise.

Of course, for something more sophisticated, the "random" browsing should statistically match real web browsing, to make traffic analysis more difficult.
Why is vaping more popular than Nicotine gum, and Nicotine patches?

A third party can't even tell their is anything special about your gum. So you would think it could be popular among high-school students and people on the air plane and the other situations that don't allow vapor clouds.
Why do you assume they wouldn't have started smoking in absence of vape?
You speak as though most people who take up cannabis are aware of a 10% risk of addiction. Perhaps this ‘generally accepted value’ should be added to the marijuana advertising just to make sure.
Only for that use case. From a logistics standpoint, which seems so important to the "modern beekeeper", it sounds like an easy thing to say yes to.

The question of "where are my bees?" can have a real-time answer and carries the benefit of knowing the temperature, humidity and other data available from remote sensors.
While I can agree pennies are pretty useless, you don't print money to with the purpose of making money unless you are trying to fuck over your own economy. How many times does the currency get spent? Printing money in pursuit of profit is how you end up with billion dollar zimbabwe notes.
Addresses are meant to be searched, something that Google Maps is surprisingly bad at, at least in France... Paper maps need street names, because that's how you search but that's not the case when there is a computer helping you.

As for places of interest, I've seen an article that blew my mind. By analyzing business concentration, they are able to deduce the interesting parts of a city (they are shown in a different color on the map). And it works. Famous streets tend to show brightly, and even if you don't know the name, you know there is something there.

Of course it doesn't mean that street names are uninteresting, but on a map, choices have to be made. And tbh, when we have all these powerful tools, street names are, I think, secondary. It is not that I think Google choices are the absolute best, just that what works best on paper may not be the best for computers.

Eighth paragraph. "Apple says its mapping service is now used more than three times as often as its next leading competitor on iPhones and iPads"

Ok, maybe slightly less than 75%, because Waze exists. But again, crushing Google Maps is not the goal. Keeping people on iOS is the goal.
So are we supposed to grade it? :-)

More seriously though it is really useful for people who are going into embedded or systems programming to write a command line interpreter at some point in their studies. It blends a couple of disconnected courses (data structures and parsing) into something tangible and useful.

I wonder if there is a good canonical list of chunks that you should be able to create from a blank sheet of paper in order to demonstrate mastery of CS. I would put an interpreter, a database, a CLI (shell), a compiler, a scheduler, and a device driver as the list but there might be others.

I used to be a PM at Gusto so I can add to Eddie's answer. As Eddie mentioned, it's non-trivial to keep the existing applications running as well as they do. That being said, a non-trivial amount of time/resources is spent making an already amazing product that much better. For example, my friends just launched a new product that lets you pick your payday (https://techcrunch.com/2018/06/21/gusto-flexible-pay/). To get this to work, there's a lot of data science involved to make sure you're not exposing Gusto to financial risk (it's effectively lending money). Since taxes are withheld with every paycheck, the payment flows associated with flexible pay become incredibly challenging. They're an amazing team. Go Eddie!

It may be worth mentioning that project Loom [1][2] aims to add continuations and lightweight threading to Java. It is lead by Ron Pressler, the author of the Quasar library mentioned in the paper.

Also, JDK 11 (Hotspot) comes with a new concurrent non-generational garbage collector (ZGC) [3] that has an average pause time of 1 ms [4]. It is still an experimental feature, but that will most likely change over time.

Honestly saying that nicotine is far less addictive in e-cig rather than cig seems like a BIG BIG lie.
At least speaking from experience.
When I was growing up (in a desert town) we had a house with a flat roof. When we bought it, it had tar based black sealant painted on top of it, and it was hell. The next year we covered it with white polymer based sealant, and the difference was huge.
That's because Nicotine gum, and Nicotine patches are ridiculously expensive compared to vape. Believe me, I tried.
Can we have a comparison with alcohol addiction? This would give an insight into whether is a wider problem as with alcohol.

Maps is more than streets and driving directions too. Increasingly I use Google Maps to find & post reviews of local restaurants and cafes and to find interesting new places to go when I'm traveling. Google Maps is in a completely different class for this kind of thing than Apple Maps. Lately it even links to relevant web articles about the best places to visit in a local area. All Apple Maps has to offer here is a sort of half baked integration with Foursquare and TripAdvisor.
They said the same thing about cigarettes decades ago, proving it with “scientific” studies.

$100 bills generate close to 0 profit for the United States Treasury as they are sold to the Federal Reserve Banks at manufacturing cost.

However coins are sold by the United States Treasury to the Federal Reserve Banks at face value and can generate a profit/loss based on the difference between the face value and the cost of manufacturing.

Well, there isn't much benefit to securing DNS or using third-party name servers, unless you also use VPN services and/or Tor to prevent your ISP from seeing what sites you access. However, securing DNS can somewhat interfere with geolocation by websites. Given mechanisms that point to the nearest servers.

But if you are using VPNs and/or Tor, it's crucial to secure DNS. Tor exits do DNS lookups for clients. And properly configured VPN services do as well.
I found the relevant passage.

"Logically, the possibility of complex quantum computations adds nothing to a case [for the Many Worlds Interpretation] that is already unanswerable. But it does add psychological impact. With Shor’s algorithm, the argument has been writ very large. To those who still cling to a single-universe world-view, I issue this challenge: explain how Shor’s algorithm works. I do not merely mean predict that it will work, which is merely a matter of solving a few uncontroversial equations. I mean provide an explanation. When Shor’s algorithm has factorized a number, using 10^500 or so times the computational resources that can be seen to be present, where was the number factorized? There are only about 10^80 atoms in the entire visible universe, an utterly minuscule number compared with 10^500. So if the visible universe were the extent of physical reality, physical reality would not even remotely contain the resources required to factorize such a large number. Who did factorize it, then? How, and where, was the computation performed?"
Doesn't everyone have a quantum computer yet?

To expand: compiling silicon isn't like compiling code even though it does use a hardware description language. Not only do all parts of your "code" all run at once, but you're also laying out physical transistors and mapping their connections. This is fundamentally an NP complete traveling salesman problem with an absurd exponential explosion of complexity - aka how do you route thousands or millions of connections that can't intersect on a 2D plane while still doing what the code describes. Oh and the fun part: unless you're careful, a change in a completely unrelated bit of code could break almost anything in the system by making it impossible to route connections without screwing up the timing of all the little bits.

There is no type checker that can deduce whether your design will work or not and then output machine language. At the end of the day, with silicon you have to actually figure out whether your design can be physically manufactured by running a long compiler process and then testing it, often with rigorous simulations before moving to the fab process.
Many times actions on the internet are not considered a crime, while those same actions done in person, would. For example, stalking.

And when it's mixed with benzoic acid? (the 'salting' process mentionned)

From Bing:

Is benzoic acid a carcinogen?

It is considered safe only at less than a .1% concentration in a finished product (Source) When benzoic acid and vitamin C (ascorbic acid) or citric acid are present, under the right conditions of heat and light, these two ingredients can combine to create the known carcinogen, benzene.
Some Go benchmarks, reasonables and counterintuitives
Cigarettes are "generally accepted non-virtuous behavior". Virtue signaling might mean doing something that anyone expects to be baseline "good person" behavior, but inappropriately advertising this fact. People tend to prefer to see virtue and identify it, much like people can safely refer to others as a genius but referring to themselves in that light suggests a lack of genius. Heaping praise on others for their virtuous actions is fine, where as attracting that praise in a form like this maybe not.
It kind of sounds like a battle between repair and failure. And at a certain point they reach an equilibrium. Ie repair stops declining.
:diffoff is another great thing to know, particularly when using vimdiff to merge things (e.g. in git). I find that turning diffing off and on for various windows can more quickly give a clear picture of what changed where.
The other piece of the puzzle is how meaningful the loss is; if such a theft is existentially threatening, and there's a reasonable chance of it, then it may still be deployed despite not actually saving money.
You don't need XRay and your reflow oven can be a toaster oven. I do recommend a cheap microscope and a good pair of tweezers though. With this you can do 0.5mm pitch BGA although that is pushing it. I've made hundreds of prototypes this way.

The fear of BGA parts is seriously overblown. The only real expensive part is the finer pitch parts will require tighter tolerances on the PCB which will take you out of the PCB batch services price tier.

edit: toaster oven, not toaster

IMO, it's better not to do that in the first place (which, of course, only makes your tip all the more useful!)
I totally agree! Especially for highly experimental features/libraries. I am trying to finish a small new library today, and I'm basically following the docs I wrote a week ago:
https://github.com/franciscop/premonition

Code examples are very important in these situations.

The main issue I've found is that some times I like the docs I wrote, but I don't do the implementation and feel like I wasted my time by documenting too much. These times it might be because it was just a thought experiment, a wild idea tat I had to write down or I just have other priorities.
I don't understand the question, it's either cached or not.

If it's not cached, then it has to be fetched synchronously for anything depending on its value to work - so it's slow.

If it is cached, then the cached value is known.

I think it is extremely unlikely Tesla would go bankrupt in the next few years. If it has a cash flow problem, then it just needs a loan or investment. There are lots of venture capitalists out there who bet all the time on companies that might not succeed but could make a ton of money if they did, and Tesla certainly fits that description.

Now it is true that Musk would hate to do this, because it would mean giving up some independence, but if necessary he no doubt will.

I think the real reason we are seeing all these claims that Tesla is about to go under is that there is about $10 billion bet on stock shorts that is going to explode in the near future, and so the financiers are desperately trying to put a scare into people and drive down the stock price.
Fiat in the past was quite good (eg. Fiat Panda)
Incidentally, Donald Knuth (whose literate programming idea has never quite taken off, mostly because of a lack of good tools and examples IMO) was doing this even before coming up with the idea of literate programming. He wrote basically a TeX manual (or one could at least call it a design doc), completely describing what TeX "does" (he wrote it in the present tense), how it works, etc., months before writing a single line of code. (See TEXDR.AFT and TEX.ONE, published in Digital Typography.)

Even later, when TeX completely changed between its earlier version (the one written in SAIL, aka TeX78) and the current version (written in WEB, aka TeX82), the program has completely changed, but the manual he wrote for TeX78 is still very similar to the latest version of The TeXBook. Since declaring TeX "done", he's generally been willing to make only changes that don't change The TeXbook much.
How many years of cigarettes smoking and vaping did you have?
From what you write it seems to me that either you never smoked for years both of them or now you started vaping and you want to believe in what you write.
Sadly the things that you write are extremely dangerous for all the young people that start vaping.

As they say, you have a choice: you can live under US domestic policy or under US foreign policy.

There's definitely something to be said for staying and trying to do what's right from within the belly of the beast, but I also understand those who wish to escape.

I am curious as to where you're going to escape to, though. So many places are turning fascist in lock-step with the US, or have to bend over and do what the US tells them. And for those places that don't, it's usually not easy to immigrate unless you're a refugee (which some of us may well become after a few more cycles of this madness).
Sure, Swedish cities are a little less sprawly than American cities of the same size (I have no data on this but my general experience is that both apartments and houses a slightly larger in Sweden but a bigger part of the housing stock is in apartments), but I still don't think the geographical explanation holds especially in densely populated regions like the Bay Area.
I think it has more to do a lack of interest from US politicians.
