Hey now, none of this is my fault, most of us are in the same boat. As much as I would want to be completely independent, this society tries it best to make that really difficult. But I'm working on it, I don't consider myself a victim anymore.

You seem to have missed the memo on visualization, yours is pretty much a perfect example of how not to do it. You may safely trust me on this one, you'll never go anywhere if you start by enumerating all the reasons it could never work. First you commit, then all sorts of solutions appear seemingly out of nowhere. It always starts with a leap of faith to make sure you really want it.

You're in the minority here. For the majority of software projects branches like `develop` are usually considered "long living" and are not "merged in" when arriving at `master`. That's why we have things like Git Flow [1].

Also an action that defaults to destroying something is user-hostile, so that's why it's a big deal and thus why GP wrote their comment.

That's a weird narrative you are saying. SEC settled quickly and little because this is not a "bad" security fraud. There's little reason to punish him harshly since he probably doesn't have malicious intent. The punishment has to fit the crime after all. No reason for the SEC to destroy a person and company over a tweet. They have to have some punishments though because the fraud was too obvious.

The Thursday's failed settlement was slightly better that this one too. SEC's case is likely to hold up in court because Musk's recklessness was too obvious but the court's punishment would probably be similar to the settlement.
Yes, as far as I know Juul is still working on it. It's pretty much just one guy and life does get in the way of open source projects.
Outright short-selling has unbounded losses, but there are other ways of "being short" (i.e. betting on a price drop) where the loss is limited, such as buying put options, though these tend to be time-limited as well, to a couple years.
I thought that was the whole idea behind Uber, no more taxi scams. Might as well just call a Yellow cab, if drivers are going to pull this kind of thing.
Exactly! I meet someone and they ask for info. I offer to email them with the info. I get their card and they don’t ask for my email address. I’m speaking from experience.

Even if they have my address, how soon is it whitelisted? Like, they run home and update their whitelist?

In at least one case, I suspect this set up is narcissistic. ‘People have to kow-tow to communicate with me.’

There is an implicit, widely-held sense that the detail in proofs should scale with the expected training of the people who will be reading them. If your intended audience has internalized their field so well that the expansion and checking happens completely automatically and subconsciously, more power to them - but on the other end of the scale you have the proof that the square root of two is irrational, or this one about interior angles. Other than machine-aided proofs the most thoroughly expanded you ever see anything is in highschool geometry!

So, what justifies this scheme? I would say that once you have seen a technique used in full detail, you don't need to see the detail elsewhere because there's a meta-theorem in your head that applies to every case where things line up in a pattern where the technique works. Slowly this replaces your natural intuition.
It was also harder to hire outside of the US back then, so the latter may be more likely.
> say history is events and people. Electric cars are something every company will have in the next

That's one view of history - popular in common discourse and historians.

Another view of history is that it is largely driven by economics with historical personalities riding on the coat tails of underlying situations with a very few unique genius exceptions (think Newton, Alexander, Ceaser etc). Also remember that most of history has happened when our population has been 1/20th of what it is today - so we are 20x more likely to have interesting characters even if something depends on genius

It remains to be seen what Musk will be - I actually feel underlying economic growth, material science development in battery technology and need to tackle pollution especially in Asia would have anyways driven electric vehicles rapidly and indeed I wonder if Musk jumped the gun on battery giga factory since we're just at the beginning of battery science - but time will tell.

Just because that would indeed focus on the specific sub-portion of the article that you think is most important, doesn't necessarily make it better than a title that meant to encompass the issues surrounding whole act of benchmarking, specifically between languages that might encourage different idiomatic solutions, and then drills down to what that means in this specific instance.

In other words, what you took away from the article might not have been what other people did, or what the author meant to express. It surely wasn't what I thought was important (but neither was "rust is faster/slower than C").
Worth noting that there's a large category of problems that don't seem linear, but can be approximated into a linear problem – like training a neural network!

My personal endeavor
I am starting a new project about the creation of a broker in relation to cryptocurrencies and buying a stock market. I know traders that can trade and earn commissions, but I can not do it alone and that is why I am in need of capitalist partners or groups to set up a broker exchanger together and receive half profits. I want to amortize the cost in 3 months, starting after summer. If someone is interested and does not have the required cash, but has knowledge of cryptocurrencies, programming or contacts who wish to operate and receive commissions, it would be very helpful, since I am losing too much time and I want to start with this project as soon as possible, I have months with this illusion and idea to start with the broker and if they have some way or other to generate an income or another forum where I can receive the help I am looking for, I would like you to contact me
We were storing HTML blobs in a database, and we needed to run through all of them and manipulate some tags. A coworker argued that we should use regex. I was able to turn that into a teaching moment about the Chomsky hierarchy, and how (simple) regex can't be used to parse languages which feature arbitrary levels of nesting.

That's a good strategy, but you should have other tools for non-linear problems in your toolbox too.

I mostly want to push back against the idea that non-linear means unsolvable. My example transformed the problem to a linear one, but that's not the only possibility. Look at my other link for many other examples. Autonomous ordinary differential equations are one possible class of ODEs which don't need to be transformed to a linear system to be solved: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_differential_equati...

You can often solve a non-linear autonomous ODE by direct integration.

1.) Totally opt-in. Unless this cafe holds a monopoly on the coffee market on this college campus, students can choose to participate.

2.) It seems like the students have some control over what data to share. Hopefully it's not a binary all-or-nothing situation, but if there's a chance students can share whatever they want (and receive tiered cafe services in proportion to whatever they share), that seems kinda interesting.

Thank you so much! I was wondering wtf this was about. Much clearer on the w3 site.
Agree here with the comment nothing compares to the solid codebase of SQLite. This project in my opinion trys to win your trust with QLite in name and does not deliver same quality.
For the record there is a level you can pay for CBS All Access that turns off the ads (at least on original content, which is I assume the only reason anyone would sign up for it anyway). It costs more than the ad-full version, but that's basically what you're asking for, right?

But like sibling said, they are presumably still tracking you. I don't think consumers have really become aware enough of tracking for "no ads, no tracking" to be a viable thing yet.
Seems like the data they're using is pretty static, I wonder how they make money off repeat customers?

Cannabis is a relevant comparison because the only reason people are using this stuff is due to cannabis prohibition. Are you really not getting this part? Cannabis being illegal is a large part of why they are making spice in the first place.

You are correct that the effects are much more dangerous than those of cannabis; that's why so many people in this thread are saying cannabis prohibition as had a negative effect in this particular way.

residential customers have really poor upload speeds so how many customers would you need to have to replace 1 caching server collocated at an ISP? short of having FTTH, most customers would have < 10Mb/s up. a dedicated server can have multiple 10Gb/s links. you'd be looking at hundreds or thousands of customers per caching box. the "nominal discount" you're offering would have to be tiny for it to make sense financially. so much so that most customers wouldn't even bother.

Now, there are many ways to implement a solution for this, and I personally would probably prefer simple patches in plain text emails, unless it's a really complicated issue with a massive patch.

But in any case, your mistake seems to be in thinking in terms of one repo. You don't need that. Every developer can have their own repo published somewhere. Or even more than one. And for the probably simplest solution for limited access, you just add http authentication in front of that repo and then send the URI including the credentials via email.

Is that the perfect solution? Maybe not. But the point is that you don't need a centralized gatekeeper. If you don't like email, you can build new communication protocols that use DNS names for identity. Or you could integrate email more with git so git automatically imports machine-readable pull requests you receive via email. Or whatever. There are endless possibilities that can use DNS names for federation of independently hosted repositories and issues trackers and whatnot. And there exist many implementations of ideas as well. You also could use OpenID for federated authentication.
Note there are limitations in Google sheets on number of rows and script execution time.
There's also !s, which will search using startpage -- all of the google results and none of the google creepiness.
It's a public bi-directional communication tool that can be initiated from either side. If you don't want that then don't use email.
If in the course of a criminal investigation it becomes necessary to wiretap a suspect, Facebook should cooperate with the government and implement the wiretap. As long as a warrant is issued for the wiretap, there should be no issue with this.

What's going to happen to your life is you're going to learn what other people's natural speeds are, what yours is, and what is needed for your specific job, and you're going to have a much better barometer for that. That's going to happen naturally over the next 2-3 years.

In the meantime, you can:

* Try to incrementally improve. Keep a daily log (wish I had started this my first year), write down your stupid mistakes, false starts, other things. Re-read entries sometimes. Try not to make the same mistake twice and to be doing more complex tasks over time.

* Do the "butt in seat" thing without beating yourself up. A good one is to try to work ~40h a week (even 35), except if you can see an immediate career benefit not to by working the extra hours on a side project or stretch assignment. It doesn't have to be 8 hours every day it can be 12 on one day then 4 the next. Log your hours (remote people should always do this) and note patterns. For example, if you are consistently working less than 40h, try working harder, more than 40h, reconsider your approach or appeal to your manager.

* Ask for feedback. You can set up a meeting with someone (for example lead, manager or just someone more senior you work with) and ask "what do you think I should do to be more useful to the project?". Alternately you can wait until a more social occasion or a lull when working 1:1 with someone and just ask "so how do you think the project is going?" If they think you have a time management issue, they'll tell you, if not, you're good. Side note, you may hear stuff like work on your soft skills, have better work life balance. It doesn't strictly mean "work less" but it means your coworkers think you're too focused on individual achievement.

So your system automatically sends back messages to the non-whitelisted addresses. Those messages will eventually be classified as spam by big operators such as gmail. How do you prevent that from reducing your "email reputation" and ending up on spam email blacklists?

It’s unfortunate that this is what privacy advocates are up against:
"Maybe I should have been more apprehensive, but everyone has your information at this point anyway," she said. "To give out my name and email and what I study does not seem so risky to me."

Unfortunately this kinda of apathy doesn’t leave much room for those who don’t want to give up their information. There is no alternate model for companies like Facebook or LinkedIn that allows for possibly paying users to maintain some level of privacy.
You sound right in so many ways.

> it's that we need to think about if we're okay with the code we're writing

I don't disagree, but feel that it's rather difficult to actually discern this.

For me, the stand-out problem that most coders face is that of compartmentalization. That is, you are a small part of a bigger churning wheel. You are told to do something, so you do it.

Unless you are working completely for yourself, or a small start up with specific goals in mind, you will not have the oversight necessary to actually objectively determine whether your code is going to be used for the greater good or not. The majority of bigger commercial ventures (whether it be defense related or fb) are heavily comparmentalized. In my experience, the more deliberate and the more legalistic the compartmentalization is, the more intrinsically morally corrupt (or even illegal) it possibly will end up being.

For instance, look at Google's eroding "don't be evil" construct [0], or FB's experiments on mass psychology [1]

This is why I left the corporate world. Too often, my moral compass was being desensitized by sociopaths.

>Or a person downloading a few files from 10 to 20 different websites.

those websites run on port 80 or 443 whereas torrents use random ports > 1024, so that's a dead giveaway there. plus most people (even powerusers) don't have 10 to 20 parallel downloads from multiple sites. even if it's really someone downloading from 10 to 20, that probably puts them in the 99.99 percentile of bandwidth use, and they probably should be throttled anyways.
