If the lookup time was O(1) then it's not a large messy library, it's a large neat library.

Besides, the "neatness" of your mind is an metaphor for your ability understand a piece of knowledge in the context of the whole. This is not a literal organizational issue, but a conceptual understanding of how different ideas "fit" together. It takes time and effort to deeply understand and connect a single piece of knowledge to the whole.

>Even in Hong Kong I find you're likely to run into people who say something like: "Mainlanders just want to be successful through making some deals with their friends, we aren't like that."

Isn't Hong Kong known for it's prostitution scene?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_in_Hong_Kong#Hist...

I think what those HKese wanted was to distinguish themselves from their more uncultivated mainlanders (like a yankee vs redneck thing, but with being an ex-British Colony thrown in).

Otherwise, HK has long before uniting with China been known as a haven for prostitution, smuggling, drugs, and so on. The archetypical "seedy harbor town". I doubt very much has changed since...

Then there's the westerners there, that could be even worse:

"The first time I walked down the main drag in Wan Chai in Hong Kong, I couldn't believe what I saw; all the mama bars there and prostitutes openly in the street outside trying to get guys to go in. Within the first week I'd already been offered cocaine, though I didn't take it at that stage. When I did, it was easy to get. I know 100 guys between the ages of 20 and 50, and I'd say around 30 of them were regular cocaine users. Not all were working in banking, but most were, of the ones I knew. They were all Westerners."

I hope they fired the people who thought using JS in 2017/2018 unless absolutely necessary is a good idea.

Both Kotlin and Swift are extremely elegant and modern languages with awesome set of features while JS lacks fundamental things like type(s)afety and is filled with inconsistency errors/problems etc.

And yeah yeah, JS is not complete garbage. I'm well aware of that, but there is no point bringing a broken knife into a gun fight.
Yes they do, we're focusing a lot on sharing and collaborating which browsers don't provide. This way you could be using a keyword happily and if you notice it goes to an out dated resource, you can update it and others in your team will get that update instantly without having to do it themselves.

Using numbers for probabilities is not a panacea either, when those numbers are not the result of a calculation. One person might say "99% of the time" to mean "almost always", and another person might say "9 out of 10 times" to mean exactly the same thing.

The problem is that it's hard to estimate the probability of something that you know happens "almost always" without doing the counting, which most people don't do. And hence it's difficult to gain an intuition for what 99% means exactly.

Furthermore, there is also the possibility that two people share the same intuition about a given word/phrase, but then disagree about which number describes that intuition. This could account for part of the results of this paper.

I stay away from companies posting “unlimited PTO”. It’s just a lie. Unlimited would mean I could vacation for an entire year, but it’s not. Ironically those are the companies with the worst work-life balance at times.

Just to be clear, things do break a little sometimes. But on the plus-side, openSUSE uses btrfs snapshots - every time updates are installed, the system creates two snapshots, one before and one after installing the updates. So if something breaks, one can always roll back to a known good state and wait for a couple of days before giving updates another try.
Or you could listen to "real" audiobooks, narrated by professionals. A great way to use the time while running / biking / working out / doing chores.
Schopenhauer's essay on reading is brilliant and worth reading in its entirety [0]

> When we read, another person thinks for us: we merely repeat his mental process. It is the same as the pupil, in learning to write, following with his pen the lines that have been pencilled by the teacher. Accordingly, in reading, the work of thinking is, for the greater part, done for us. This is why we are consciously relieved when we turn to reading after being occupied with our own thoughts. But, in reading, our head is, however, really only the arena of some one else’s thoughts. And so it happens that the person who reads a great deal — that is to say, almost the whole day, and recreates himself by spending the intervals in thoughtless diversion, gradually loses the ability to think for himself; just as a man who is always riding at last forgets how to walk.

I would argue that the opposite is true:

> Unfortunately the problem with the SaaS is lack of control, so after a couple of years, when the company shuts down you will be forced to move on to an alternative. And at that point you will lose all your data (in this case, gists) and links, let alone time.

Even if the author stops posting updates, you can keep using the application for as long as you like. Since it's open source, you can even update it yourself if you really need it.

Also, all your data is stored on a database that you control, so you'll never lose them (unless you delete the database). In this case, gists might even be stored as a git repository, so it might not be that hard to import them to another self-hosted snippets app.

Most successful long-time sports betters are not playing on a level playing field. In order to beat the vig over the long term, a successful better must be privy to information that is unavailable to other betters, or at least the majority of betters. This either means a novel analytical technique, which is rare, or inside information.

The number of people who simply watch games closely and are able to discern information that allows them to bet successfully on future games over the long term is exceptionally rare in the real world.

Did she get hired because of genes, or us she some political genius? We all know the reason. My second thought is the right use of the Internet we could abolish all nepotism, and the best person could be a few clicks away? I don't know how to find the talent though? Or, I don't know an easy way to find the talent that would make me read The Economist?)
No need to get any extra library involved; the standard library handles your case:

let result = await Promise.all(collection.map(expensiveFunction));

(I’m presuming expensiveFunction is an asynchronous function; if it is instead a synchronous function, then don’t bother about the Promise.all part, just do it all at once asynchronously, as the effect will be the same: `new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(() => resolve(collection.map(expensiveFunction))))`.)
If we were great at engineering, a century's worth would have ideally led to simpler machines. Simplicity = sophistication.

Militarization of police is happening in Germany, as well:

* Police special forces (SEK which are organized on the state level unlike GSG9 which are state police) have switched from blue to military-like green/brown uniforms (which have no tactical value, but that's another discussion).

* Police in e.g. Berlin are changing their fully automatic weapons by phasing out the 9mm MP-5 and replacing it with 5.56x45 G36 assault rifles for "anti-terror defense" purposes.

* More and more police units are equipped with armored wheeled tanks.

* Peaceful left-wing demonstrations in some states are regularly "secured" by special forces equipped with tactical equipment including assault rifles, a clear intimidation tactic. SEK units aren't even being trained to handle demos.

* Crime statistics are recorded in bizarre ways to artificially inflate anti-police violence, which in turn forms the basis for police unions to demand stricter laws. For example, any attack on a single police man is counted as an attack against their whole unit, and suddenly one victim becomes 10 victims in the statistics.

If there is one thing they don't compromise is power consumption. The whole reason why there isn't a 32 GB Apple laptop today is because they went with thinner batteries that wouldn't be able to power what Intel had that could fit inside a laptop and address that much memory.

How to Speed Up Your Aging Mac
What a weird, almost sociopathic article. If you are nice to people and encourage niceness they tend to act nicer. Reifying this blindingly simple thought into "virtue labeling" isn't scientific, it's scientism. The author is advocating insincerity and deception as a way to promote good character. This sort of neurotic thinking always has such obviously absurd contradictions.

Insincerity is in contradiction to good character, and attempting to foster good character in others by deliberately lying to them is obviously hypocritical and foolish.

Virtue is a greater solvent than water. You can always find a way to honestly encourage better character in others, if only you start with yourself. (Someone once hugged Stalin and he cried. Stalin! He said something like, "You're the only one who has treated me like a human being." It didn't stop him doing what he did, but my point is even he was frail before virtue.)
You should call it listserv.

I suspect that your experience as a single developer has VERY little in common with what the 100 people Airbnb team is doing.

I am not trying to say that you or your work are in any way lesser than the one of a big team but it is a very different problem.

I have worked in such an environment and even with native, we had to code a ton of custom Views in order to get exactly the specific behavior we had in mind.

There are tons of little tweaks that demand to exploit the platform to 100% that you can in a very large team and that you would just avoid a single dev because you don't have the time for this kind of stuff at big scale.

How Angular Resolves Dynamic Components
For large scale energy storage, pumped hydro is much cheaper and has a much larger capacity, but they take years to build and are harder to get approved due to environmental concerns.

For example, the planned Snowy 2.0 pumped hydro scheme in Australia: 2 GW, 350 GWh, US$2.8-3.3 billion. Will take 5 years to build.

Compared to Tesla's previous 'world biggest battery' in South Australia (the 'Hornsdale Power Reserve'): 100 MW, 129 MWh, US$74 million. Built in 4 months.

If only the voting public understood about statistics, false positives, and false negatives.

Even if Firefox did a full virus scan, there would still be false positives and false negatives in the results.

The system designer always has to put their reporting threshold somewhere, and that always means making a decision to bias towards false positives or false negatives. Eliminating false positives means exploding the number of false negatives.

Unfortunately, people like the OP don’t understand this, and yell angry things like “Firefox is lying to me!” Others here suggest FF should inject a bunch of weasel words like maybe and could and might. That’s a seemingly rational thing to do if you believe you’re informing a customer population that understands things like false positives and false negatives, but we have pretty clear evidence that they don’t. So FF makes a conscious informed decision to prefer reporting false positives over false negatives and then allows the user to override if they believe they know enough to do so. Sure, there are some costs to false positives, but they are dwarfed by the cost of false negatives.
