Americans tried to other "solutions" peddled by politicians, economists, NYT and other pundits. In fact losing jobs and trying those other solutions is how they got here...

Those other solutions suck even more.

Except for a close to 10% that does as good as ever and even better, and who are the ones proposing those other "solutions"...
I've actually tried this, but due to long-chain reactions in the molecular bonds I ended up with a mixture that was around 20% Bumcivilian by volume. I couldn't hear a thing for 20 minutes, so be careful.
To start a tangent @dang: Do you really read every individual comment, or is there some pattern matching on specific strings like 'Better title'? If so, what are the patterns?

Just want to know if we can help you in any way. I'm in awe of moderation efficiency on this site.
Well, I would personally argue the ethical thing would be to pay workers a fair wage.
Well at least the Americans are not standing in queues.

Seriously, I wonder why this scarcity for quite many is not highlighted as failure of capitalism, why the bailout of banks with tax-money is not marked as "capitalism and free market has failed" just like communism is?

At risk of being downvoted, I reject the advice in this article and instead advocate designers sticking to “core fonts” (Tahoma, etc) or CSS’s built-in family names.

I accept that brochure-style websites genuinely benefit from being able to use the corporate identity’s prescribed typeface for prose, but for non-branded content-heavy pages such as blogs and, uh, “content” the actual utility provided is, in this commenter’s opinion, overrated.

A great argument against custom fonts on the web is that the “core fonts” have been designed for the screen, especially low-DPI environments - whereas I imagine a typical latter-day web-designer will be using a Retina-screen on a Mac - causing them to lose empathy for their 96dpi brethren who have to suffer with blurry and misaligned fonts on their webpages that were clearly designed for print, not screen, use.

I filter web fonts in my main Chrome profile and I’m in no hurry to re-enable that functionality.
> For those that don't want it or can't test into it because they literally are too stupid (this is after fixing inequal access to early education), there's no associated cost. They just to to work, same as it was before.

I think you will find the IQ benefits of education itself is not really that large. I could be wrong but it seems like scientists are looking more into diet these days as bigger influencers than quality education.

Which is to say, of course there is contrast between a child who never goes to school and is just left to leisure around the house until they are adults to one that goes to a quality school that are beyond simply a diet but that in western countries, diets could be a bigger reason for poorer socio-economic populations scoring lower on IQ tests.

I think though that you would have to rebalance the culture when it comes to higher education before making it free because in countries like the USA, you already have too many people going to university and then going into non-skilled jobs despite the insane prices.

Lowering the price to free is only going to increase that when many kids see college as an experience more than a critical education for a high end role.
>I've been around to see people over decades, and how their decisions affect their lives. Meritocracy is not a myth. Where people wind up is very much a consequence of their choices.

The only acceptable usage mode is a (preferably short) learning phase with the "cloud". After that you disconnect and preferably deactivate all wireless connectivity with a physical switch so that nobody can mess with it.

I think for pairs you can still do a logarithmic search, it’s just not base 2.

A trinary or quaternary search should be able to find two bugs at once (and intuition tells me a quad search should be able to handle three).

Say you have 16 optimizations and 7 and 12 don’t work together. Eliminate the first half, the second half, the odd or the even opts and the build is still green. But if you remove the first third or quarter the tests still fail.

So in a trinary search you might see 1-16 -> 6-16 -> 6-13 -> 6-8,12-13 -> 6,7,8,12 -> 6,7,12 -> 7,12. Including the first and last sanity checks you’re in for about 8-14 test passes for 16 tests, which is a lot better than 2^16.

But there’s still a binary search you can do, and that’s a bisect of the commit history. Before some commit this bug didn’t happen. And that’s going to contain one half of the bug. Now you run a second binary search to find its complement.

At this point I would not recommend using PIs for anything long running at all. I have two v3 and one v2 and all of them crashed at some point, one of the v3 was idle during that time.

The one PI I still run as build server operates of a write protected SD card and reboots regularly.

I am not 100% sure why the PIs crashed yet (still have to do the investigation), but if errors like this already show up in a server rack with AC attached I'm a bit skeptical.
Goof point, But I think this barely means it has potential, or possibly commerciality, it still doesn't mean guarantee of success.
Web build by people who care and don't earn money on it still exists. Its audience is smaller proportion of total audience then it used to be.

And also, people who care want pay raise too. They enjoy living in better flat, going at better holidays, buying better bicycle for children or eventually have periods of life where it is impossible to have job, family and time consuming hobby at the same time.
Not necessarily. While ResNets are optimized for the task of achieving the best image classification accuracy, it is no guarantee that the features extracted from it will transfer well to other tasks such as this one, especially when the task is to generate images. In fact, it has been shown that pre-trained VGG networks are a lot more useful than pre-trained ResNet for other tasks other than image classification, such as style transfer.
You can also use ultrasounds to see your body composition. As in how much of this body part is fat vs muscle.

Although I think 3d imaging will work in a more convenient manner for that purpose, and it will only get cheaper, so I doubt it will become that popular for that purpose if it was made cheap.
>I know people who profess to be victims, too. I'll tick off the choices they made that got them where they are. Of course, they get angry with me. Nobody wants to hear the truth.

Who told you poor people are capable of as good choices as richer people?

When you live life in easy mode is easy to make the right choices.

It's also easy to see some people who managed to play in hard mode and win, and extrapolate to everybody (especially if you don't account for lucky breaks and mitigating factors in their course).

But because a handful managed to win in hard mode, it doesn't make it as easy as those who play in easy mode, nor it makes it any more statistically possible for the masses to win the hard mode gameplay they were dealt.

Congrats on launching!

I regularly spend time on developer documentation (just yesterday roughly two hours...). Unfortunately, your messaging does not resonate with me at all.

Creating (good) documentation will never be easy, or hassle-free. We have to communicate/teach technical concepts to a wide range of developers, from beginners to experts, from native-speakers to I-barely-understand-english. Having a huge document with lot's of details is bad, because one can't grasp the big picture. Not documenting all details is also bad. Having multiple documents per topic (e.g. a Getting Started/Tutorial and a full reference) is a hassle to maintain.

I believe Documentation Review is at least as important as Code Review. What you think you're communicating, and what others are understanding, may be very different. Having at least one other pair of eyes look over it is extremely helpful. It is also helpful to maintain a consistent writing style if several developers contribute to the documentation.

Some things that may make my life easier:

- Help me keeping my writing style consistent (e.g. "In this case, foo should be used" and "In this case, you should use bar" are not consistent)

- Help me keeping my text easy to understand (like http://hemingwayapp.com)

- Help me keeping multiple documents in sync (e.g. "You've changed foo_bar to fooBar in reference.md, you should also look at tutorial.md lines 25 and 34")

- Help with the workflow coordinating multiple reviews (we're actually using Github PRs, and I don't see much room for improvement)

Do you guys realise that Amazon just acts as a marketplace now, and the products being sold are from third parties?

Now that they've captured 50%+ of US ecommerce, they've also raised many prices, to the point where they're far from the cheapest price in many cases. A random example... the cat litter I just purchased is $17.89 at Amazon, $13.49 at Walmart. Last week I bought a chair mat for $21.95 on Ebay - identical item on Amazon was $33.95 (both including free shipping but Amazon came with an additional 8.25% sales tax).

Amazon is NOT raising prices, its the merchants who sell on Amazon who are raising prices. The main value that Amazon provides is fulfillment, and driving users to these product pages from third parties.

Terrible poverty? Well much less poverty than in about 95 percent of the planet so everything is relative.

Now, the market cannot solve a problem that is linked to human nature. Humans like living in dense areas rather than on the top of mountains, so space will be more and more expansive as density increase. Nothing unusual. Density also brings more jobs and more commerce so this is a cycle that goes with it.

This being said if you care nothing about living in a modern civilization it is perfectly possible to live far away from cities with very minimum expenses and a lot of land. Thats just not what people want.

Looks great, I'll dig in. Two questions:

Does it generate code that can be optimized by luaJIT? (for example these guidelines: http://wiki.luajit.org/Numerical-Computing-Performance-Guide)

Can anyone compare to Urn? It's another active lisp-on-lua project that's at the moment better documented than Lumen.
Ok, this was more complex than I thought. I hope I got it right and this gives you some pointers how I investigated. :)

Use type() to see what you are getting:

>>> type(df.describe().mean())
<class 'pandas.core.series.Series'>
>>> type(df.describe().mean)
<class 'method'>

Something without parenthesis cannot be a method call, at least not from a normal viewpoint. Instead you are trying to access the attribute "mean" of the result of describe() if you run df.groupby(df.var1).describe().mean. This attribute might very well be a method itself (a method object).

Last in that chain was describe(), so let's look at that: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/panda...

It returns a "summary: Series/DataFrame of summary statistics", so calling .mean() on that, will call https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/panda...

Accessing .mean will instead return that method object itself.

By default pandas will return a string describing the data itself when printing a method:

>>> df.describe()
numeric n2
count 3.0 3.0
mean 2.0 3.0
std 1.0 1.0
min 1.0 2.0
25% 1.5 2.5
50% 2.0 3.0
75% 2.5 3.5
max 3.0 4.0
>>> df.describe().mean
<bound method DataFrame.mean of numeric n2
count 3.0 3.0
mean 2.0 3.0
std 1.0 1.0
min 1.0 2.0
25% 1.5 2.5
50% 2.0 3.0
75% 2.5 3.5
max 3.0 4.0>
>>> df.describe().mean()
numeric 2.00
n2 2.75
dtype: float64

I assume this is what threw you off? You are not using the "results" of .mean in further code but were just looking at them, right?

Then, if fruit pickers made $20 an hour, you would be getting all of your fruit from Mexico/Central America, and fruit and all products made from it would be more expensive.

Other jobs like gardening and landscaping would simply either not be done, or get done by property owners themselves. Now they will be tired, be less productive at work and have less time for their kids, or, see their property value drop while their local crime rate goes up.

A platform is useful for the other services it provides: Google funnels your data but give you better search, MS swipes some info about your PC to give you better drivers, Facebook takes all your likes and dislikes to give you stories to your taste. [talking about stated interest here]

What would your personal platform do? How would it take that data and turn it into something useful while also removing the privacy concerns?

Best you can do is have something that blocks or spoofs that data before sending it to the "collector". So you gain the privacy and you lose on the service improvement. If this is legitimate concern you can try to drop the most intrusive platforms from your digital life. These would most likely be Google and Facebook.

Alternatively there are options for you to use with more limited effect: ad and tracker blockers, secure or anonymous browsers, VPN, stricter privacy settings on your devices, etc. The end result is usually the same: the less data you provide them, the less useful their service is. Which makes trading your info even less enticing.
Er, what relevance does BLE power consumption have to LTE-M, NBIOT, etc.?
In my experience certificates like this are considered pretty useless by most software engineers. Anybody can do a certificate and have their hand held all the way through it. Real world experience in much more valued. Also software dev is both an applied skill and a fast developing field too in which not everybody agrees on the right way to do things, so its hard for universities to keep up with the changing times. Plus whatever job you get after university will probably require you to learn a ton of new stuff anyway. Basically I don't believe that software engineering is a field in which you can go off to study for a year and then be considered better at your job because of it. (This could be different if you were to study a more specific subset of computer science like security, computer graphics, machine learning etc.)

That said you've been a developer for three years so are in a pretty good position to try moving to a company which does more advanced stuff and further your career. This of course has the added benefit that you don't have to make any financial sacrifices, in fact you will probably get paid more by doing this.

Finally you mentioned getting into Appsec, if you want to specialise in a field like this then I would highly recommend that. As I said earlier spending time to specialise in a field like this would be worth while, you could do a degree or do a certification like the OSCP (unlike software dev, certifications in info sec are actually valued if you do the right ones). This is what I'm currently doing myself after 5 years as a developer now specialising in security.

I believe we mean "capitalism" as in capital is held by private owners in search of profit instead of owned by the state. Not necessarily free trade with other countries.

China has a sort of partial capitalism in that some big companies are 50% owned by the state.

That would be an interesting choice to make, seeing as the surrounding infrastructure is still transitioning and you can just as easily support both stacks. The real obstacles are legacy devices and misconfigured appliances, which can't simply switch over without anyone noticing.

LTE is awesome. The latency alone makes is huge and can not be overstated, it truly is a game changer.

These numbers typically don't reflect a single client, and it would be foolish to present those numbers. Real world numbers for LTE are an order of magnitude better than anything previously. It often is better than a good wifi connection, I just don't see the point in using wifi anymore.
> Why hasn't the market solved this problem?

Maybe "the market" is not a good tool to solve inequality.
Off the top of my head:

- using skills against targets where the skill would have no effect

- using skills on nothing with all plausible targets not remotely nearby

- using items to turn invisible and then immediately taking an action to remove invisibility

- everything regarding vision/detection: placing vision where vision already exists via structures, placing multiple sources of vision on top of each other, buying detection items when none of the opponents could turn invisible, placing detection in areas where detection already exists

- using a item that's canceled by close proximity to enemies in obvious close proximity of the enemy

- waiting for a neutral respawn when its impossible for it to respawn

- stacking effects that don't stack

Then there's obvious poor utilization of skills, such as:

- using a skill that does more damage for every point of missing health on targets that have no missing health

- using ults with long cooldowns on neutrals when that hero's normal skill does more damage with much much lower cooldown

- using skills that multiply it's effectiveness when there are secondary targets when there's obviously no secondary target near the primary target

- casting damage amplification on a target (target takes more damage) and then not dealing damage
And what's the reason they were asked to do the fizzbugz test?
OP here - since there seems to be some interest on the details I will try to answer them in as much detail as possible in a longer blog post. I already wrote about the network setup[1]

The server is a Dell Precision T5610 (20 physical cores, 64GB memory, 4 Samsung Pro SSDs and quad gigabit NIC additionally to the internal one) and a QNap TS-531X with Seagate IronWolf drives. I would recommend against using PIs at this point, see other comment[2].

Right now all services are running in docker in a dedicated VM on VMWare Workstation. The server also hosts a full work environment I can RDP and SSH into, depending on what I do, when I am traveling only with my iPad Pro (RDP because my last job involved a lot of Java for which I prefer IntelliJ). At some point I should likely migrate to vSphere, but I had the workstation license already and it was quick to setup.
