Generally you avoid repetition in english, particularly when writing. It’s more of a stylistic thing so no one will misunderstand you if you don’t.
My preference is to use an asynchronous, shared-nothing actor model. Spinning one thread per core, it is extremely efficient. But, that requires more work to track state in a smart way. I suppose it matters how similar the coroutine's logic is to each other. In some systems with low latency requirements, you want control to minimize thrashing in the cache.

I think their value comes from the collected data of Facebook profiles. If they just copy the data and their trained models, they essentially just use the IP that brought them into that mess in the first place.

All the knowledge doesn't help them, they'll need to use their models which they've developed at CA. Otherwise they can know a lot about machine learning and statistical methods, but don't have the data to train their models. I think it will be revealed that they just use the same data. Which is borderline illegal, IMO.

Any recommendations on a compass? I always hate trying to orient myself via sun in the city, half the time buildings make it annoying to figure out.
A good example of why trust validation is important and why social engineering is one of the most difficult threat vectors to protect against. Hacking the human brain to get trust is a lot easier in most cases than cracking a lot of digital defenses (although it seems a lot of people neglect basic digital defense too...). With some companies I've worked for, I've realized how sometimes customer support could be easily duped, because they want so badly to help the person who is obviously having difficulties and paying us so much money... :P
Yeah this wasn't a Lance Armstrong case. The east German athletes were not told anything about the shit they were given. None of them got million dollar book contracts or sponsorship deals.
Yow! Shows how naive I am. Thanks for the reply..
Great way to put it! This is literally the argument for the index funds, right? You are profiting from the economic activity of all businesses in the field by paying an index share price = tax.
In addition to busses being able to operate on less-flexible but faster infrastructure (EDIT: as well as on ordinary streets), express and non-express vehicles can integrate seemlessly at stations, which is a pretty cool benefit.
It doesn't seem very practical as furniture - there's a big hole in the middle. Actual sofas can be moved in three dimensions, so can be more usefully shaped.
That's not a good reason. That is virtual address space, not physical memory, and processes have plenty of it, usually about 280TB.
Fundamental tradeoffs in CAP are latency/time for consistency, since real world networks are always partitioned. You are just using a different meaning of availability when talking about high availability, not the one from CAP.
The only entities that are guaranteed representation are states. It's not obvious that statehood maps to any other demographic attribute over time.

It made sense the ensure states felt they had some guaranteed level of representation in order to get the states to agree to enter, or remain in, the union. But now that it's established precedent that states cannot leave the Union (at least without Congress) it's not clear to me that it's important to guarantee individual states anything.
Europe is able to keep its colleges and Universities free or mostly free because the European collegiate experience is a much simpler and stripped down version of what you find at US Universities.

In the US, living on campus is the norm, a vast array of amenities and services are offered to students, and University bureaucracies are huge and growing by the year.

Contrast this with Europe, where many Universities are simpler affairs with students living at home, commuting to classes (which have higher student to professor ratios) at Universities without student centers, gyms, etc.

It's not that the US through sheer stupidity is missing out on some easy fix for college costs, the issue is simply that in the US Universities offer more than in Europe. This is in keeping with our overall culture.
Hearing all the negativity around this makes me a profound sort of sad.

Here's a guy with some pretty unimaginable resources. He tries to use some of the resources for good, and a bunch of people go out of their way to get upset at him for it, and then laugh when what he tried to help with didn't work.

People slinging all this mud are the reason others are hesitant to help.
Gibbs's computational approach is really interesting [1]. Keep the sofa still and move the corridor, and the optimal sofa shape is the intersection of all (well n, since it's a numerical approximation) the corridor shapes as they sweep around.

Excuse my ignorance but does Go store libraries locally, in the way other package managers like NPM and Pip do?

I just looked at some Go source code and it references Github repos?

e.g.

Can I clone that repo into local and then import that? I wouldn't like to run a project at the mercy of someone elses remote repo.

I also really like the Abu-Mostafa course from caltech you link, and their book. If you want to get a taste of generalization bounds and statistical learning theory (e.g. VC dimension), he gives the gentlest introduction I've seen.
.local isn't a recommendation any more due to zeroconf.

The "best way" is to use a real domain for your local network. But this can be annoying, costs money and has other issues (renaming/-branding, mergers/splits, domain squatting, accidental record publication and so on ---- it's a lot like renting an internet-routable IP network for LAN use, it's kinda silly and error prone).
It's still pretty difficult for many Americans to finish university.

Only 55% of students that start at a 4-year university program graduate within 6 years. Only 19.5% of students that start at a non-flagship, 4-year program finish on time.
Here's what comes to my mind. There's this notion that if it isn't scientific it isn't serious. But if you want to take a scientific approach to everything, you won't be able to navigate life. If someone gives you personal advice on how to find a trustworthy contractor for your roof, do you demand a scientific study?

I'm not a scientist, so correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that science is by far the best method of finding truth within pretty small parameters. A law of physics. The effects of one particular chemical on a certain kind of animal. Etc. For complicated things the best thing you can do is make a really simple model of it and draw a conclusion from that. The other details are anecdotes. Again, people say to avoid trusting anecdotes, but it's what we live by all the time day to day.

So when it comes to psychotherapy, it's an art form. Especially given the multiple incompatible schools of thought. It's not that much of a science. If a lot of people swear by it, well, maybe it's a placebo (though what would that even mean for psychotherapy?). Or maybe there's something to it for a decent number of people.
I remember being motivated to read endless crappy Pokémon books churned out in the 90’s, this is probably no different. It worked for me.
Professional ethics? Pride? The teaching staff is removed from the commercial operations of a university.

BCB-Tutorials for beginners and advanced learners
This seems to be a standard feature in many routers now. The computer name sent with the DHCP request will eventually land in the resolver's hosts table and it will respond to DNS requests as expected. It's client-controlled, which is kind of not great, but for home users it works as intended.

What I'd like to see is a home router that lets me put arbitrary rules in. Currently I use dnsmasq as a resolver and it basically does what I need, but I'd rather have it running on the router instead of needing another computer.

My current rule set is roughly:

* Resolve from local hosts file - this is where I put my statically assigned home servers/devices.

* If the domain request matches .domain.tld, forward it to a.b.c.d for resolution - this is a dnsmasq running on a remote box and covers off VMs that I run there. There is an IPSec tunnel (running on a small VM) and static routes on my router that handle getting to that box.

Finally, pass the request onto my router which will pass it onto my ISP or use its local DHCP-driven hosts table to resolve it.

I'd love it if an off-the-shelf router could do this. Currently I'm using a UniFi Security Gateway and it seems like this feature set would be a good fit. The router is professional-enough that advanced features like this make sense.
Housing is not interchangeable like a true commodity. Sure, over the next six months prices may drop but consider longer term.

Take an island city of say 1 million people living in single family homes. Now, over 50 years replace 1/2 of those with 5 million high density apartments. Assuming steady growth the apartments are going to fill with workers, but the number of single family homes dropped. Further, the total number of highly paid professionals like Doctors and Middle Management increases which increases demand for those single family homes.

Now, block growth for 30 years and you reduce the number of people that can actually make enough money to drive up prices. Net result people move elsewhere and even if the market is tight and people pay a higher percentage of their income they simply make less money on average.

PS: And to be pedantic while more housing is being build to total supply drops because nobody is living in the demolished buildings.
Colorado has a population of about 5.6mil and a GDP of ~300bil. Norway is 370bil.

Although better than most other U.S. states, I don't have access to the services that Norwegians do. But my taxes are also very low here. We could have the same kind of services as Norway if we want to pay for it, but taxes would have to go up.

Until Americans stop thinking of the word "tax" as evil, we'll always value it wrong.

Your definition of tolerant is incompatible with availability from CAP. The Paxos 3/7 minority in your example can't make progress when partitioned from the other 4 machines.
...monasticism was never healthy. I really defy someone to read the Rule of Saint Benedict and not think of a modern prison at least once. Monasticism is even considered spiritually dangerous at times, and is linked to its own specific sin, Acedia:

I recommend Kathleen Harris's The Noonday Demon for a good account of that. If anything, monastic life would destroy you if you suffered from depression, not heal you.
But they are even better off than Denmark and Sweden which have very similar populations/political models. Their oil wealth has certainly helped them (but they've done a good job of spreading the benefits of their oil wealth across society, unlike many other countries).
Realy though I wish that there was something like minecraft, but with an RTS-style disembodied god-view camera, with zoom, pan and rotate, which I think will make building things much more painless. Perhaps some mods can approximate that, but if there was something build up from the beginning for such an interface it would be a nicer thing to have for people who would rather build than walk around catching the scenery.

People’s issue isn’t with Musk trying to help, it’s Musk trying to help as a thinly-veiled publicity stunt. If Elon Musk has reached out quietly to the Thai government and asked what he could do with his resources and connections to help, THAT would have been using his resources for good. Throwing a bunch of your money at a cool-sounding but absolutely useless project that nobody asked for while making a lot of noise on Twitter about how helpful you are is pure self-aggrandizement, and that’s what people are reacting to.
I've been doing Ops for 20 years and even back in the 90's I barely had to understand what a Make file was doing. I've certainly never had to do much actual dev work.

If so, please, someone present the language from this perspective, preferably with an example.
I don't think you are quite understanding why people are negative towards Musk. It's not that he tried to help. It's how he went about it. He inserted himself into the problem, he turned it into a Tweetstorm PR campaign. And eventually came up with a "solution" that wasn't feasible. The people who were asked to come and help are the domain experts. Stay out of their way and let them do what they do best.
From the perspective of the CAP theorem, Spanner is unquestionably a CP system, as the original paper [1] makes clear. (It relies on Paxos to elect leaders, and Paxos chooses consistency over availability.)

The "CA in practice" claims are purely marketing.

Not really the same game, but Factorio scratches this itch for me. I eventually stopped because it got too close to work, but for a while I was absolutely hooked.

If what you liked was solving puzzles of how to build things and accumulation of resources I recommend it. If it was building large structures out of legos, this game isn’t that though.

I've been to college. This isn't a pretense; it's a fact. I really don't mind if my writing shows that. Indeed, I prefer it.
I'm sure many degree programs in the US are inflated, but it wasn't my experience in the US where engineering professors brag about how many students they failed that semester. "You only had 1/3rd your class drop? You must be getting soft." I had AP Calculus in High School (took school seriously) and had to give 110% to pass engineering school. I never partied and basically lived in study hall. Not everyone has to put in that much effort, but I never ever felt grades were being inflated to pass us. When the highest grade on a test is a 42 from a classmate that could probably build a teleporter in their garage, you know things are tough. When we used to have to take required non-engineering courses like history and psyche, most of us felt like we were teleported back over a decade to junior high as the classes were such a joke. So the specialized classes and degrees can be astonishingly challenging, while the generic courses everyone has to take are almost remedial.
Maybe similar, but maybe not--I use video games as a way to monitor my status, kind of get an outside view of myself. If a particular video game sounds interesting, I'll play it for a while and analyze the imagery, story, music, etc. to get a sort of metaphorical read on what my interest says about where I'm at.

For example, if I am experiencing lots of stress, and feeling a deficit of power, I noticed that military tactics and strategy games seem to suggest themselves. If a really long-term, cool strategy is called for, I notice that I play games like golf. If the day is filling up with lots of busy tasks that require a deft navigation of circumstance, the classic Snake-like game always seems to sound fun to play.

Looking more objectively at the game as a learning opportunity, I find that game development is huge for me here. I develop pen and paper games of given topics (from tennis to dungeon combat) and it's interesting to map real life attributes and circumstances like charisma and "home court advantage" onto my mental model of the game. I have to develop a broader model of what makes a player successful, and this spills over into my own approach to life and its problems. For example, if I'm a skilled researcher, it should follow that the more I ramp up and employ that particular skill, the faster my luck will grow, as opposed to skills at which I'm naturally an amateur. And it follows that I probably need a diversely-skilled team to turn to, should I come up against a truly difficult problem which does not yield to my research skills easily. While I build that team, I employ and continue to deepen my research skill.

I was very skeptical of his involvement because I have seen similar situations at work. When I was a consultant I often worked on emergency situations where you had to bring systems back online quickly. Sometimes the CEO would come in and say "You can get whatever you want" and suddenly you had all these important people who didn't know the situation ask questions and give suggestions. Now you had the problem at hand and you had to baby these people in addition. Once the problem was solved the CEO and his people took credit for the fix and went away despite in reality only causing problems.

There was simply no time for the people on location to look at Musk's stuff and testing it. It
would have been a big distraction from the work at hand.

So far I would rate his involvement as pure PR stunt. However, if he kept working on this now that the crisis is over and worked with experts on something viable for the next rescue he would be really helpful. I don't know if that's happening and to be honest I have my doubts.

Is Fortnite really that much better on a computer than on Switch or whatever?
I can see how playing video games is similar to reading for entertainment, it is a good escape that requires concentration and when finished you can just walk away from it without anything material that has to be dealt with.

Minecraft is interesting in that it requires a lot of knowledge in terms of how to make things/play the game, and requires exploration for resources. The harder game modes require more tactics and strategy which are typically first learned outside of Minecraft through youtube or friends. There are a number of high quality Minecraft reference books (by Scholastic and Mojang) which are great.

The %1 aren't stupid after all. They have done what they could to pit one group of poor people against another group of poor people. They have convinced a large group of poor white people that poor brown people are the cause of their problems, as if the most disadvantaged people in the country could possibly have any power over anyone. The power players in Washington have been doing this quasi-covertly for a long time, it's only in this latest term of presidency where the actions are explicit, obvious, overt and relentless.
