Thanks for clarifying — I didn't realize what you meant by bubble chasing. I agree that Prop 13 can reduce available inventory and drive prices up.

Though note that at age 55, you can move into a less-expensive home and keep your old property tax basis (if you meet certain restrictions). This provides somewhat of an escape valve that allows empty-nesters to downsize and new families to move in.
Why is this being downvoted? If he isn't "playing dumb" then this is an excellent realization as to the negative impact that tariffs/quotas/etc. have when compared to free trade. True that it is "common knowledge" among those who have studied markets or economics, but not everyone has given these concepts serious thought, and if articles like this lead people to make this connection, I'd say that this is an excellent outcome and don't think commenting on this newfound understanding should be downvoted.
More specifically, the rotor that rotates (unit) vector a to vector b is the geometric product of a and the half angle vector between a and b. Barring a sign change that works out equivalent to the quaternion given in the article.

Trade wars are always bad and don't need to be argued against. They are a tax hike, they are unpredictable, they disrupt ongoing business and deter future business, and they sour political relations.

Until some tangible benefits come from this trade war, it's nothing but downside. And aside from some vague claims about "fairness", it's not even clear what those benefits are supposed to be.
It encourages treating property as an investment, rather than something you own so you can live in it. This results in, for example, people buying second homes or investment properties, as well as people holding on to houses that they would have otherwise sold off (to move to a more suitable locaiton as a retiree, for example).

Yes. It obviously shows where Linus steps out of the bounds in which he is an expert. He blindly believes Intel's false documentation as early as 2001, and, if I understood correctly, the result is that glibc has bad FP sin for quite a while, since the maintainers also don't try to check anything, and:

- either there was no user who seriously used it (to detect the error)

- or the user who seriously used the sin and detected the error didn't pass through the maintainers' "wall blocking the casual contributions" (a major maintainer for a few years was kind of legendary for being very dismissive and hard to communicate with).

- or the detector of the error remained silent.

It seems that Bruce was the first managing to induce the change in glibc, and he needed to reach Intel first for that.

Linus being wrong in believing the documentation instead of checking it himself:

I'm curious when Java fixed their bad assumptions:

https://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=4306749

It seems much faster, as already in 2005 Gosling knew the truth:

https://web.archive.org/web/20110812023545/https://blogs.ora...

"the x87 fsin/fcos use a particular approximation to pi, which effectively means the period of the function is changed, which can lead to large errors outside [-pi/4, pi/4]."

"What we do in the JVM on x86 is moderately obvious: we range check the argument, and if it's outside the range [-pi/4, pi/4]we do the precise range reduction by hand, and then call fsin."

Gosling actually quotes "Joe Darcy, our local Floating Point God."

Joseph D. Darcy was also a co-author of:

"How Java's Floating-Point Hurts Everyone Everywhere" with W. Kahan (http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~wkahan/JAVAhurt.pdf)

and his master thesis was:

"Borneo: Adding IEEE 754 floating point support to Java" http://sonic.net/~jddarcy/Borneo/

"a dialect of the Java language designed to have true support for the IEEE 754 floating point standard." "Unfortunately, Java's specification creates several problems for numerical computation" ... "useful IEEE 754 features are either explicitly forbidden or omitted from the Java specification."
So, if I understand the system correctly:

In the top 10, I see projects in Hardware, AI, Psychology, and Economics.

So, the psychology guy goes up the leaderboard by producing results that will impress the people in the other fields. The surest way to do this is to jump to conclusions and ignore everything about sound experiment design.

Similarly, the AI guy is incentivized to train the same neural net on a different game every week, and not to do anything new and risky.

Pardon me, but this does not sound like a good system.

I actually agree with your separation of Software Engineering and Computer Science comment, but completely disagree with the funding level statement. The notion that branches of Mathematics don't use computer resources is absolutely laughable. If anything, I don't see why the best practices for managing people who are developing the same CRUD apps over and over again needs any significant investment of any kind besides a few laptops. Computer Science can not and should not give a shit about development practices like Agile or its alternatives. CS people do own a lot of problems facing industry like machine learning and AI, and they address plenty of problems "in the core"...just nothing to do with process.

Also, this split absolutely does happen at some universities, and the funding is decided by agencies based on their priorities. One such university is the University of Waterloo, and the CS department is not wanting for funding...certainly not at the buy a whiteboard and get on with it levels you're suggesting.
I think your argument pretty much ignores a major portion of American history post civil war through at least the 1960’s.

Google will terminate free consumer products that don't work out, but my experience is that they will provide multi-year deprecation periods on things that developers or businesses rely on. For example, Angular 1 only went into maintenance mode last month, and will be supported until 2021.
I know nothing about pony, but if it does have an optional type, this would be a much better choice. You lose information by returning 0. Returning "none" would keep the information that you tried to divide by 0. Of course, this means all division would return an optional instead of a value. This is the cost of safe, robust programming.

I see a lot of software engineers trying to get rid of the cost of writing robust programs. It's not possible. Stop trying. You are either safe, or you are not. You either handle all cases, or you don't.

> if I have to learn hundreds of pages of math, there is no other way than creating my own lecture notes, basically

Well, that is what I actually did with Anki in university. For any lecture, I would go over the material, identify the important snippets, and make them into Anki cards. Creating the deck itself is very productive work because to identify the cards and make them small enough, you have to have understood the material. If you just copy the entire page-long proof in, you haven't understood it. Anki forces you to break it down because a card like that is useless.

So if you're already making your own notes why would you want flashcard software?

- It optimizes reviewing, ensuring you look at forgotten cards every day, and easy ones only once a year, instead of randomly poring over the entire set of notes and hoping to stumble upon the forgotten ones.

- It allows higher card quality, e.g. I can paste screenshots of visualizations instead of scribbling them down. My language decks have audio pronounciation, a paper medium does not support that.

- It allows higher card volume, I can't fit 10000 cards in a notebook but I can do so on my phone. Especially not high-quality cards with images in them. Of course nobody even considers fitting 10k cards on paper because reviewing such a collection is not feasible without spaced repetition software (see two paragraphs above).

- Its much easier to pull out my phone and do some reviews in the car or public transit than to do the same with a notebook.
In slightly fewer words - Vasa sunk because it was built tall and thin, and because of its high centre of gravity, tipped over on its maiden voyage in 1628.

Like the Mary Rose in England, the ship turned out to be an archeological treasure trove, and the museums make an excellent visit.

I had to work in Stockholm a few years ago with some colleagues from various nations at a standards meeting. We visited the Vasa museum and had a great time soaking up the history. But to our modern eyes, the height of the ship looked crazy compared with its width, and we were all amazed that anyone could have ever thought it would ever stay afloat, even back in the 17th century.

By the way, the redundant diagram of nautical terms lacks the one term relevant here: beam, the width of a vessel
You sound frustrated, but you clearly don’t know anything about how the police works. Parking fines are not issued by police, that’s a job for the municipality.
Brazillian here. Living in country of Rio. I avoid going to Rio (capital) as much as possible. Tomorrow I'm visiting family there and the tension increases a bit because of uncertainty. I have watched robberies live, car stealing. Two of my neighbords were shot by a rifle in Rio when crossing "linha vermelha". My wife has been kidnaped once. This year her brother had his car shot 3 times. (He does Uber) My brother was almost hit by a lost bullet recently in Rio downtown, missed by 50cm. I could probably go on listing this sort of things endlessly. People from Rio are used to this and consider it the way life is. It is not like they like or accept violence but don't have the means of doing much about it. Brazil is a puppet state. Not sovereign. The state is dysfunctional. The violence problem can be tracked to state policies. But the state has no will to solve any of it. Just mask it and keep going (nowhere good for civilians). It is an actual goal of state to things to not work. That is the goal, and standard policy. Like the last 5 times tried to contact police for reporting ongoing (live) stealings all failed. Most times couldn't even report. There is a queue of calls that take a long time. And when they answer, they just tell you to mind your business. Now I even don't bother reporting anything. They won't do a thing. They don't care. In fact, they are just FOLLOWING ORDERS.

People are too powerless to influence the state in any meaningful way. At the end of the day the law/state is at the side of criminals. I wish Brazil would change ownership so policy could be changed.
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that I thought permanant damage was likely in your case (unless you happened to be taking a lot of Phenibut over a long period of time), just that it is possible that some medication could somehow be causing your problem.

At least GABA itself is transported by the taurine transporters and if you have enough GABA (as far as I know this has only been observed with vigabatrin use or rare genetic GABA metabolism disorders) then the retina will not get enough taurine and peripheral vision will suffer permanant damage that can only be detected with a special test until it gets quite bad. Taurine supplementation does prevent damage in that case.

Phenibut might possibly have the taurine transporter issue since (unlike Zolpidem) it is considered a GABA analog plus some people take quite a lot of it and even the lowest doses are quite a bit higher than the higest Zolpidem dose. Baclofen is similar to Phenibut but used in much lower quantities so it also seems unlikely to cause that trouble (and it actually doesn't cause my eyes to hurt). And I could be completely wrong about Phenibut having that particular issue, all I really know is that it makes my eyes hurt when I use the light therapy visor. Actually, I just remembered that taurine itself causes my eyes to hurt in the same way, so while it could still potentially be taurine transporter related it at least isn't a lack of taurine for my particular issue (sorry, I am also disabled due to sleep issues in my case and either that or some additional unknown issue affects my memory).

I see that Zolpidem does have multiple common eye related side effects, so somehow it can negatively affect the eyes. If you haven't been taking medication the whole time you have noticed the problem then that should be enough to conclude that it isn't medication related. Or if you are taking something else (like pain medication) but can't fairly easily change to something with a different mechanism of action then I don't think it is likely enough to be worth too much trouble (but keep the possibility in mind if you are ever in a position to test it).

For me it was even more specific, just the one particular LED light that caused the trouble, not my computer screen (which is older but I just checked and it is LED backlight) or brighter natural light, or anything else. I would have also thought it should affect other visual things but somehow it didn't (although in my case maybe it is somehow connected to the LED being so close to my eyes).

It’s thanks to protectionism that the US and the UK were able to become industrial economies, and pretty much in every case of development you can name, eg South Korea. In each case the government intervened radically to protect their nascent industries.

Had it not been for protectionism, the UK’s textile industry would not have competed with India’s, in fact they forced their wares on India, to the detriment of their own textile industry.
You're talking about unrealised profits. In order for the profits to be realised you need to sell the house. So what happens then? Either you keep the profits and are left without a house, or you buy another house and are left without a profit. Because, you see, it's not only your particular house that has appreciated, all houses have.

One big difference between Erlang and Java is that all processes (threads) in Erlang are safely contained in private memory, whereas in Java threads occur in public memory. Another big difference is that Erlang has supervisor processes to restart child processes that have crashed. Java just farts itself.
That's not accurate. Side-loading applications is certainly a risk but not Play Store.

"In 2016, the annual probability that a user downloaded a PHA (potentially harmful applications) from Google Play was .04% and we reduced that by 50% in 2017 for an annual average of .02%.

In 2017, downloading a PHA from Google Play was less likely than the odds of an asteroid hitting the earth."

How simplistic. America has enough land. Vast swaths of it are empty.

What we don't have enough of is density in the places where people actually want to be, and that's not a natural limit. You could make more density, if it weren't illegal in all of these desirable places.

And I just mentioned Tokyo, which actually does have serious land constraints but does zoning and transit well. (And where they are making more land.) Ordinary people can afford homes there and almost nobody is homeless.

"They're not making any more land" isn't a relevant thing about urbanism, it's just a cliche that a realtor says to convince you to buy.
It's painful how dumb this blog post is. It's clear that the multiplication is no longer associative with this definition.

I downloaded this and it looks very interesting. But I'm unable to use it because of the dark theme.

I'm sorry, it's my fault, at the age of 66 I have visual limitations that make dark themes very uncomfortable. I just wish developers would not assume that everyone prefers or is able to use a dark theme. Not all of us can.

To really get comfortable with it, I would also want to be able to select a proportional font and tabs instead of two-space indents. But that can wait; a light theme option would be a good start.
No idea but I would love to know why. Anyway I ain't facebook user and would not do any deal with this beast.
Anothor option is to use a NonZero type. A NonZero type is one that has been checked to not be zero. The type system ensures that you can only use a NonZero as a denominator in a division. You can minimize the number of checks for zero and the type system still protects you. And at points where performance trumps safetly you can still use a special version of division that returns 0 when the denominator is 0.

How can 1 / 0 = 0 be fast? It's not a standard floating point instruction, so extra logic is needed to convert the Inf to a 0.

Erlang originates from telecom, where the behavior you describe makes perfect sense. Equipment should work all the time; you don't want to (or even can't) send out people to debug/restart them.

> There is a consensus among economists

I dont know if such consensus is really justified (since these economists could be politically/ideologically biased).

However, the wikipedia article did not mention the other side of the coin - namely, what protectionism does, and if it has any benefits (and drawbacks).

Protectionism exists in the financial sectors (in which a majority of wealth is being created in the USA). I suspect that those that argue for free trade only argues for free trade for things they benefit from (but protectionism for things that might hurt themselves - even if free trade overall helps others).
There was a "consensus among economists" that US economy would tank under Trump, and that it can't grow at anything over 3%, and that "those jobs are not coming back". To quote Paul Krugman, the perennial darling of progressive intelligentsia: "No, you could make me total dictator to do everything I think would work and it still wouldn’t get you up more than a few tenths." There's a reason why economics is not considered a real science: economists have a hard time explaining the past, let alone predicting the future. Their "consensus" is not usually worth the paper it's printed on.
