Just to emphasize the parent's point about singular vs plural, there are a lot of reasons to go with singular:

* Singular is much friendlier to find/replace, due to the inconsistency of pluralization.

* A good practice is to name association tables by concatenation of the tables being associated (when the association doesn't correspond to a previously named entity). teacher_class is a much better name than teachers_classes, and definitely avoid teacher_classes.

* As you move up the stack, structs, interfaces and classes have strong singular conventions. If you spend much time at higher levels, the habits you develop can lead to little bugs when working deeper in the stack.

Forgive me if you make this clear in the text (I may have missed it), but you have various pull quotes which say: "The new R2 sequence is the only 2-dimensional low discrepancy quasirandom sequence where..." Are you saying that it's the only known sequence? Or the only one possible? If the second, do you have formal proofs for those claims?
The value of labour has fallen because of a systematic dismantling of any sort of apparatus for preserving it's value. Amazon can fire 1, 10, 50, 1000 workers. They can't fire a union of every FC worker in the country. The value is only low because the field is so tilted in favour of capital.

If national critical systems are running Windows or other US closed source tech, then technically yes. The US is potentially in control of these systems. This is true in Germany and in many (most?) other parts of the world. From the viewpoint of these nations, all the US needs to do is have Microsoft, Google, or whatever tech company is in control of a system of interest to insert malware or give the US government the private data it requests. I'm not saying it happens, but rather that it's certainly possible and completely in the US's playcourt to decide to control or not to control. This is why government computer systems should be open source or self-developed.

Truth. Really, I have to sympathize with the court on this, they're basically saying "The FCC knows more about communications technology and the economics associated with it than a judge does", which is undoubtedly true. Deciding this sort of thing is what the FCC is for. That doesn't mean they got it right, but short of creating a communication-technology centered appeals court, that's what we've got. The FCC is the correct (currently existing) government institution to be making that kind of decision. Just because they (arguably) made the wrong decision here, doesn't mean it makes sense to have appeals court judges deciding this, as the technology and economic background required to make that decision is not part of their training, nor something they could acquire in the course of a court case.
Companies like Research Now, Mindforce Research, SSI, etc. They allow you to buy completes for specific research surveys. The completes are anonymous, but the respondents wive categorical information like Role, Title, Company Industry, Size, etc. Respondents are paid for taking the survey.

As an aside, panel data quality has gotten a lot more iffy in the last year or two. Seemingly, bots are getting much more sophisticated at "faking" a valid looking response. I now spend more than half of my actual surveying time on response validation. For those of you interested, you need to have logic that cross-validates, (i.e you said you were using AWS in one question, but don't use public cloud in another) and you need to read open ended responses. Even if you don't want open ended responses, I would not do any survey without at least 2 open ended response questions.
Here is what I'd recommend - buy a copy of cracking the code interview (its maybe 20-30$), and do every single problem (or most of them) in there by hand on paper.

Then reach out to some software devs you know and have them give you mock interviews (if you reach out to me I'd be more then willing to help).

Then you will be prepared to ace any big tech co interview. Apply to as many of these jobs as you can (I applied to over 100 and got a job at one of the FAANG). Or if that's not working, you could try something like TripleByte to get in the door

Autonomous helicopter (AH) - likely, in time.

Law enforcement & traffic reporting with AH,
a natural early application.

AH taxi services, sure eventually.

AH for LEO or EMS response to accident scenes
or other helo-accessible locations, sure.

But AH to transport emergent patients to
definitive care sounds like a marketing,
regulatory, and training nightmare. Fifty sets
of state laws, thousands of hospital/EMS medical
directors to work with, and tens of thousands
of local EMS workers to train seems like a long
hill to climb. Granted, we have had decades
of helicopter usage in EMS, so a path is known.

My guesses are that the “air ambulance” image is
being used to attract eyeballs and investors,
that early use cases will be for law enforcement,
with a pivot to expensive taxi/commuting usage.

My wife and I actually used a similar thought process to decide to have kids at 25, haha! We decided that since we were going to spend the ages of 25 to 45 working our asses off regardless, we figured that we'd rather be done childrearing in our 40s instead of our 50s, then we'd have more money and life experience to draw on to really enjoy the the years before we're too old to be out and about much. In our case, we didn't want to take those later middle age years off the table.

That said, I definitely think your strategy is a good one. My parents had me around 35 and I know that their age and stability contributed a lot to an excellent childhood.
> I haven't seen US economy this versatile and powerful in a long time, maybe since the 80s.

The big 90s expansion was much better than now.

Not really; one quarter at a 4.2% annualized rate is nothing to write home about; there was a better single quarter in 2011 and two consecutively in 2014, and neither were particularly gangbusters aside from those blips.

> Bay Area alone is nearly a trillion dollar economy, and has double the growth rate of any other county in US.

“Bay Area” isn't a county, and the Bay Area growth rate over the last year is about double the overall national growth rate, not double the best non-Bay county (it's about the same growth rate as Washington State—not the top county in the state, but the state overall.)
How to Do OneNote OCR on Image or PDF(Mac, Windows, iPad)
To be honest, Twitter has been pretty eye opening about the value of "expert opinions" on a lot of stuff. It has become the perfect platform for self-owns (granted, the format doesn't help)

I've found that HN tends to upvote "good" comments, so most threads end up bringing the important stuff on top. Usually the insightful stuff comes from experts, since being an expert helps! And people like patio11 end up consistently on the top of comment threads because it's Good Content(TM). But sometimes someone relatively unknown will simply be making a good point. That's what I'm here for, the good information. And at least in our industry, either the experts are on here, or they're not but their followers will post a link to their blog/G+ and the information shows up on here anyways.

If we had Twitter-style "voice proportional to follower count/retweet potential" stuff, then a lot of things would fall through the cracks. Sometime's I'm curious about what person X thinks about a thing, but I've found it's a feeling too similar to wanting to hear gossip/validation of my own thoughts, rather than the Quest For Knowledge.

Yes, Intercultural Institute of Japan. Awesome school, from all points of view.

You need someone to work out the papers and details for you. That can be your local language school, if you have one, or an international service such as Go Go Nihon.

I strongly recommend getting good at hiragana, katakana, and learning the writing (not the reading) of all 2,200 common kanji before coming here. It will make a huge difference in your rate of learning.

I would focus on that, because they already cover grammar and vocabulary at a reasonable pace here at school. I used Heisig's book and the excellent Kanji Koohii website/progressive app. It's a long business, but not hard at all. It just takes time and dedication, say 1–2 hours every day for several months. But you can and should split that time into small chunks all throughout the day. Basically, whenever you're not actively working, sleeping, or driving, take out your phone and use that app.

Also, if English is your 1st language, get a pronunciation coach. The vowels and many consonants are completely different. If you happen to be Italian, then you're in luck, because we have 99% the same sounds as Japanese. (Only the U is slightly different.)

I am not sure if this makes sense. How would you build anything of some complexity? At some point you have to use components that are probably understood by someone else but I don't think a single person can understood the whole system.

openstreetmap.org uses Nominatim:

https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim

The photon link uses Photon:

https://github.com/komoot/photon

Nominatim processes OSM data, associating items of interest with features like town boundaries that enclose the item, or place markers that are nearby, and then is also a fairly pedantic search interface for that data.

Photon takes the data that Nominatim generates and sticks a more flexible search on top of it.

Checking for/creating an issue for Nominatim describing the address format that doesn't work well would be a useful thing to do, as global support is a goal there.

My point is that the license is the absolute worst place to put anything-- including a protest-- because licensing issues are way outside the expertise of most programmers.

For example, if they put the same information in a comment in the code, then whatever flame war might ensue would at least be fully on the social implications of it. Nobody will worry about the comment accidentally getting interpreted improperly by various JS engines. Nobody will talk about how the big company they work for will not touch code that has certain comments because the comment department advised them those comments are radioactive. Troglodytes won't pop up to poorly recite what they think they read on the wall about comments and maximizing freedom.

All of that and more will happen when you write anything non-standard in a license for a FLOSS project. It's a dog-whistle to every programmer out there who has dreamed of pretending to be a lawyer.

I offer into evidence the ratio of ICE-related posts to licensing-desiderata-related posts in this thread.

If you've really got so much energy to waste that your thinking about writing your own custom license blurb, just go reverse-engineer a baseband OS or something.
AirVPN has worked well for me. They show the bandwidth capacity, use and current users of each server online so you can always make a informed decision. They let you use full capacity of the servers (I've brought a server from 100mbps usage to 900mbps on my gigabit line). They also have pretty good tooling, openvpn profile creator online, port forwarding, dns proxying servers...

> One could argue that "black lives matter" is exclusory to all other races.

Is it solely the name that you object to, or the idea that discrimination in law enforcement against minorities should be rectified? If it's the former, it seems like such a minor point, like saying you don't like Twitter because the name is dumb. The fact that you don't like the marketing name of a non profit / activist movement seems like such a trivial thing to start an entire counter-movement over. If it's the latter, and you think that discrimination against minorities isn't worth making a fuss over, that is actually pretty racist.

The author of that change follows the same pattern in nearly every project found on their Github account, and many that they contribute to: MIT licenses with added prohibitions targeting specific groups. Disturbing and toxic to say the least.
That's a very cheap way to dismiss C++. I think it's more that Stroustroup has the ability to develop a decent language, promote it, make it usable for real-world use and improve it long term. I would say Linus is in the same category. Despite all his antics he knows how to push a project forward while still keeping his old users. Both have a very good combination of vision and pragmatism.

It'll be hard, but you'll need to get to N2 grade Japanese skills (business level) to be taken seriously. Look at Japanese Pod 101 - it's pretty good.

Don't expect to ever get to N1. Virtually impossible.

Also never expect to become a Japanese citizen (i.e. get a passport) or even be accepted in society at large - it won't happen.

Similar to #5, so many of my friends have ended what seemed like solid relationships because the other person wasn't close enough to some magical ideal they have in their head. Obviously I'm not the one in the relationship, but I also get the feeling that they think I'm incredibly lucky to have found my wife relatively young, and it doesn't occur to them how much both my wife and I have changed over the years we've been together in order to be better to and for each other. An apparent match made in heaven takes a lot more work than a lot of people think. I had a few serious relationships before I met my wife and in my experience it's about finding someone you mesh well with and then deciding that you want to be with that person in a way that you're not constantly going to be comparing them to some mythical relationship that could have been.

A single system? Absolutely not. Even with a lifetime of study it might not be possible for an individual to really understand everything that goes into a modern web browser.

As an American ex-pat (different country, different language, same shit) - 100% prioritize Japanese fluency. It really will unlock doors for you to speak the native language well, it will reduce your sense of social isolation and eventually make you happier.

Seeing other ex-pats here without fluency, their lives are so much more difficult. Not quite as isolating for them, since there's a fairly large English-speaking expat community here, but still, seeing them struggle with the most basic things has given me newfound appreciation for the difficulties that immigrants to the US face while their English skills are weak.
