I'm not in a position for any of that. We're living literally week to week, and every single hour that I'm awake I need to work. Our bills are past due and we're overdrawn $50 in the bank right now. I'm making $25/hour with this one client, and it's barely enough for the life we have. I would downsize our lifestyle if I knew how but we can't even afford to move to a cheaper city. As it is right now, the only choice I have right now is to just work on this client project every hour that I'm awake, and sleep no more than 7-8 hours per night.
Reliability issues, IME.
You've re-written another comment so that it follows all standard rules for spelling. But to what end? Certainly not to make it intelligible, as the original comment was intelligible regardless of spelling errors.

If not to make it intelligible, then perhaps to engage in one-up-man-ship? But since feeding the ego tends to be a zero sum game, at what cost? Perhaps the original poster has one of a whole host of conditions which make it difficult to reproduce spellings as per a standard. Perhaps the original poster learned the language primarily through hearing, rather than reading. Who knows?

So what did your one-up-man-ship gain us, the community? Nothing of value (since good spelling is merely indicative of background, rather than capability), but perhaps something of harm, since you might have hurt an otherwise valuable contributor who may not have control over how they spell.

In short, your comment is a net detriment to the community.

> It gets a bit annoying when I have to read or hear that everyday.

Or, this is an entirely subjective thing based on your own cultural presuppositions, and you are actually simply rude/prideful.

The coin flips both ways - there is no 'norm' here other than cultural/ethical/philosophical bias.
People who submit last have the most information. You haven't eliminated as much as you thought.
I know I'm not who you asked but I disagree with the idea of a slippery slope in general. It tends to imply that if step A happens step Z is guaranteed to happen without any consideration of where a line is drawn. It is possible for us to regulate some harmful information without regulating all information.
Ah ok. So kWh is like the length of time of that amount of energy delivered. What's the 2 GW then, like max through put at a given moment in time? So the two examples water storage lasts a really long time but a smaller relative rate of discharge versus battery could discharge the amount stored a lot quicker?
The deductible usually is in the range of $200-$500. Doctor vists are a $25 flat fee, drugs are similar, etc. If you get cancer or something huge, maybe you'll pay $2000-5000/yr out of pocket?

All those numbers are pretty small compared to your compensation. You can just throw it in a bank or brokerage account after working for a month and will cover your medical deductible expenses for a very long time.
Agreed. It is an incredible book at getting you to really think about how you read.

Only tangentially related: When it came out and became a bestseller, another book came out kind of making fun of the title. It was called "How to Read Two Books."
Nit: I would be astonished to hear that any recent clinical trial involving placebos had taken place without all participants knowing that they might be given one. FDA guidelines on informed consent[0]: "Procedures related solely to research (for example, protocol-driven versus individualized dosing, randomized assignment to treatment, blinding of subject and investigator, and receipt of placebo if the study is placebo-controlled) must be explained. ... The description should also provide relevant information about any control used in the study. For example, whether the control is a medically recognized standard of care or is a placebo (including an explanation of what a placebo is)." Searching the web for "placebo IRB" turns up more detailed institutional guidelines; UCI's is one of the most in-depth[1].

I believe this is relevant because the author's comparison of placebos and virtue labelling hinges on whether or not the practices are deceptive. But the norms around informed consent mean that using placebos in clinical trials does not, IMO, involve deception. I'm not sure if there's a comparable mitigation to make virtue labelling not deceptive (can you imagine handing someone a consent form saying "I will sometimes lie to you about whether or not I think you are a good person, for your own good"?)

For clients and writing actual content nothing beats Wordpress. The editor is great and a lot of people have used it before so, from a developer point of view, I believe that with Wordpress you should give people what they want. The alternative of demanding they use some 'better' CMS means that the content never gets written or updated.

However, not to disrespect the work that has gone into Wordpress, how hard can it be to write something better for the frontend and get marketplace adoption?

I do not like the frontend 'coding standards' and mess of plugins. Starting straight from the raw wp_ mySQL tables is a less insurmountable task than hacking some theme and bloating it out with 'jQuery' plugins that should never have been plugins. It seems that it is the ecosystem of design agencies with their lorem-ipsum big-up-front-designs and allegedly 'agile' workflows that have made Wordpress into something I do not like working with. Particularly when the add-ins make the backend far removed from sensible, making it a nightmare CMS for clients.

Hasn't anyone written a decent frontend for it that is not a tacky theme with ten thousand lines of CSS of which 97% is not used and a megabyte of scripts to get the carousel and share links working?
As a denizen of Mahwah - that name is absolutely fantastic.

Thanks for the link! It's really interesting.

It is not really "overdue" and interpreting the earthquake record is quite difficult. I would suggest this short (2 page) 2017 GSA Today[1] article for a decent write up by geologists for the general public. It says the odds of a large Cascadia earthquake in the next 50 years is between a 7% (using the average recurrence over the last 10k years) and 40% (using the average recurrence in the current earthquake cluster).

I would also add a possibility that the article doesn't mention. They discuss clusters of earthquakes and you can see them in the paleoearthquake history plot. If these clusters really exist and are persistent, it looks like we are near the end of a cluster. The 1700 earthquake could have been the last one in the current cluster and the next earthquake might happen over 500 years from now.

"...depict an identifiable, actual minor."

So this doesn't apply to cartoons of the fictional character Mitsuki, a tiny blue-haired girl in a school uniform who is totally 21 years old and not 9 according to the dating simulator's lore. So this would probably be legal in the US.

See, this guy isn't even right about that. He lies about the idea that it's totally non-controversial and accepted as ethical in Japanese culture, and he lies that it's universally illegal in western culture. This whole thing is a big pile of straw men invented by an otaku who thinks he's an ambassador of an entire culture for some reason.
Google Crawler is not a human being, cannot agree to terms, and does not make use of the article.

One could make an argument (and it has been made) that the victim in such situations is the perpetrator themselves. More specifically, that their "sense of virtue" and/or psychological well-being is being corroded by such activities. (Note: I tend to lean toward personal autonomy/liberty in such manners.)

Start learning another programming language. Maybe two or three. They aren't like spoken languages: there are only a few words, and syntax is explicit.

Programming languages will feel a bit foreign since there are different paradigms involved, but you have a solid perspective to start with.

Since you know bash, you know the environment your programs will run in. Start by learning simple IO with stdin, stdout, and stderr. The rest is basically just different methods to organize your code.
I've just spent a while looking for my old signal processing textbooks, but there was too much piled on top of them (I've moved house three times since I last worked with signal processing... :)

I remember two introductory books which were quite good - Kamen/Heck's 'Signals and Systems' - tells you a bit about the tools of the trade, laplace and fourier transforms, transfer functions, filter design &c - the book was accompanied by a number of MatLab scripts which let you visualise how manipulating properties of a filter affected the output; most useful.

Proakis & Manolakis' Digital Signal Processing was also quite good; both books assume you know your way around engineering mathematics - series, integrals mostly - but in particular Kamen/Heck I remember provoking quite a number of insights from the text alone.

Again, the ARRL may be of some assistance - the radio amateur's handbook has a couple of chapters on the basics of filters, leaning very much against the applied end of things.

I hear good things about Owen's Practical Signal Processing, too, but haven't studied it myself yet; as you say, there's only so much time in a day...

Oh, and steer clear of anything with the phrase 'non-linear' anywhere in the title or blurb. Just don't go there.
It depends on why you're writing. If you're using the word "likely" you probably are dealing with some sort of scientific data. Writing for a technical audience needs to be precise, and words need to be only used when necessary and well defined.

Standard and Poor's 500 Index Data
The article starts out with multiple ideological and highly cherry-picking claims. That's what sent me looking for information on the source.

It conflates mean measures of GDP with the far more valid median, or better, the quality of life of the least among us, the standard chosen by such eminant socialists as Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill.

Its gadget-based definitions of wealth fly in the face of fundamental necessities: food, water, shelter, medicine. Again you'll find this argument dismissed in Smith. I've taken my own whack at it, Maslow's smartphone:

https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/2vwfb6/maslows...

See also Maslow's swimming pool:

The most illuminating recasting of wealth and poverty I've seen in decades comes from a non-economist, Yonatan Zunger, who proposes the financial-shock wealth test:

What is the largest unexpected financial shock you could sustain without the cost of that to you suddenly becoming ten times the original cost or more? That number isn’t something easy to calculate; it depends on whether you have a family that can help you out, on your income, on whether that shock involves losing your job (and thus your health insurance, if you live in the US), on whether you have access to any other sources of security (including public assistance).

https://shift.newco.co/your-financial-shock-wealth-4845e6dc1...

The other side of this connects to the financial instability of income. How variable is same, and to what extent does expected perturbation of income (job loss, illness, shorted wages, etc.) put a household in threat of eviction, foreclosure, etc.

None of which are addressed by your source.

Its framing of the question is such that its response isn't even wrong. It's utterly irrelevant.
Of course - email in bio :)
Easily... as in the tech is already there. 10 years ago BMW estimated a 5:15 was possible [1]. Since then we've had a decade+ of tire, aero, power-unit and transmission development, not to mention a number of 'Ring resurfacing efforts. There was no DRS or KERS back then either.

I don't think it'd cost mid 9-figures to integrate and tweak technology that is already well-understood. But then again it is [M]otorsport, where the [M] stands for Money. Red Bull could likely do it for low 8-figures with Mr. Max in the seat.

There is no chance they could have tested that thoroughly. And the brakes are maybe the cars most important function besides power steering in a programming safety perspective.

>A character popping memes holding an iPhone X will not age well.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If you look at, say, William Gibson and how he talks about brands, especially in his early cyberpunk stuff, it's super dated but also super influential, and I think still good.

I mean, looking at Gibsons older stuff? Japan is the future. But Gibsons newer stuff? China is the future. It's not so much a prediction but a statement of how society felt; in the '80s, it did feel like Japan had overtaken us, at least until their bubble burst. In the teens? it kind of feels like China is in that same position, and Gibson's work conveys that feeling perfectly.

Gibson can be read as stories about fashion, and fashion is inherently dated. But reading old things about fashion can still be really interesting, even though it might require a little more knowledge of historical context.
In 1980, Ethernet was expensive, slow, buggy, difficult, and incompatible with other dominant technologies. Six years after it was created, nobody wanted to use it. How did Ethernet become a popular standard? Persistence.

The guy who created Ethernet, Robert Metcalfe, hounded big corporations to use it. He left Xerox and created his own company, 3Com, just to popularize it. He got three big players at the time (DEC, Intel, Xerox) to push for it and develop the standard. Slowly they developed and improved on the standard and adapted it to be more attractive in the marketplace. Once IBM committed to pushing Ethernet, everyone knew that it was going to be mandatory for big business. By the end of the 1980's, Ethernet had won.

So yeah, people aren't going to adopt your technology just because you think it's better. You have to work hard over decades to earn the adoption. Or, do what certain companies do today, and shove it into existing applications where nobody has to be convinced to adopt it.

The standards process always takes time. But these "web standards" didn't even need to be standards when the people using them controlled the application platform. They just shove some new technology into their app and use it, or hide it under some other protocol, and wait for other people to start using it. ActiveX is proof that that works just fine.

They developed these "web standards" because they wanted to get crap out the door immediately and get it adopted as widely as possible, as quickly as possible. And they don't invest any time or money that doesn't directly benefit their bottom line. They did it in a "web" way because they're "web" companies.
That old saying is a special kind of unfalsifiable crud that's just used to either discard the views of young people or mock the views of old people as stupid. There's plenty of old people who aren't conservative, and tons of conservative old people who are brainless. And plenty of every other combination imaginable.

To add to this (as a Hong Kong native):
Hong Kong is definitely a weird, special case, having belonged to Britain until 1997 and basically most people growing up there on some level despise the mainland, communism, and the language. To this day there's a certain level of disdain and judgment against you if you speak Mandarin there, almost like you're branded as "the others".

It's also true that provinces with rich cultures far away from Beijing continue to have their local dialects thrive. This is very true of Guangdong and Sichuan/Chongqing (see Sichuan rap). Yunnan also is quite noted for having many minorities and dialects still being preserved. The same cannot be said for Shanghai, where the younger generation have been eager to adopt to just speaking Mandarin as the mainstream thing to do. I had a girlfriend from Wuhan, and she grew up listening to the dialect there but her parents never encouraged her to converse in it, so she only speaks Mandarin.
This makes me thankful for Amazon's document-writing culture. Ambiguous words like very/could/should/few/large are avoided or at least qualified with a range. This helps us avoid ambiguity, regardless of the amount of context a reader has.
Hybrids are stepping stones along the way to full electrification. They reduce emissions somewhat. We may see hybrids be commercialized for small planes in 10 years, for large planes in 20 years. etc. etc.

This outlook is a very privileged one. Outside your community, violence may not be an option.
No, the whole point of portraying it as a "culture war" of intolerance is to obfuscate and legitimize what it's really about. There's a reason he's so vague about what he's talking about and uses Japanese characters to spell out western words--to inhibit people from working out opinions for themselves. And mainstream Japanese culture does not share his opinions at all.

It's obviously trying to push an agenda from an unassailable position of false neutrality. This is just NAMBLA with a fake veneer of noble eastern mysticism. Trying to conflate disagreement with cultural intolerance in order to game the debate is the message.
I often use temporary tables to hold intermediate results. Does that not work for you?
If you're using Slack in a structured environment (such as a company), then you can impose structure through policy, rather than technologically.

Specifically, if you want to avoid a "24-hour long meeting", then why not just have an actual meeting, in Slack? Run it like an actual meeting, just with typing instead of voice/video chat.

If you have actual, structured meetings via Slack, then you get all the benefits of everything going through text (a canonical log anyone can reference; nobody having to repeat themselves; no having to fight to get everyone on the call; people being able to "speak" (i.e. type) at the same time without talking over one-another; etc.), while also getting all the benefits of Actual Meetings (people trying to make efficient use of their time so they can get back to doing something else; someone "running" the meeting and passing a baton for who is expected to be speaking at any moment; etc.)

If you do that, then the rest of the time, Slack is just a virtual water-cooler (and a convenient built-in IM system for talking to people who aren't in your office.)
