It’s not misleading, it’s wrong, the article is about supporting evidence for the Younger Dryas (13,000 years ago) being caused by a meteor strike instead of some internal ice-age cycle.

Also, the impact in the title refers to a meteor impact. Probably OP just misunderstood the article and summarized the title incorrectly. “Meteor crater under Greenland points to climate altering effect of recent meteor strike” would be better.
If you need to work with CSV or Excel or tab files from the command line I suggest having a look at alasql. Can be installed via npm and gives you a good list of export options.
1. I push a hotfix to GitHub.
2. Jenkins (which is on Google Cloud) builds it, and it already has all the Docker steps cached from previous builds, so it's fast.
3. Jenkins pushes the image to Google Cloud repo, which is almost instantaneous
4. Kubernetes (also on Google Cloud) pulls the image and makes a new deployment

No big deal. :)

> what the value proposition of a swarm of robots is over one large robot?

Doing complex detailed work which could innovate the way farming is done ex:
1)not using chemicals, by killing weeds/bugs using robot/symbiotic approach
2)plant plants together (symbiotic plants, complementary vegetables: roots and plants)
3)using the land to plant more crops more densely

> Given the large cost of repairs, can a swarm of robots compete on cost? If my one big robot breaks down, I fix it once and it's good to go. When my swarm of robots start to break down, I have to fix the same thing n number of times.

I think cost will be an issue this swarms being much more expensive. However they won't break all at once ant you would always have a working fleet. Also the quality would be better, because the same unit would be used everywhere small scale and large scale.

>How about transport? Lots of farmers around here have farms which are 50+ miles apart. Right now they can hop into their one robot and drive it to the next farm. Does the swarm need to be loaded onto a trailer and trucked to the next farm? Autonomous on-road operation on country roads definitely isn't coming any time soon.

I think that this "startup" will have the logistics sorted by having a large area of land in one piece

>Don't get me wrong, the idea is neat. But it has to actually be better than the alternatives to see adoption.

Definitely. And that would require a very advanced robot. And maybe we already have the technology. But it would need enormous resources poured into it to make such an advanced product that offers all the benefits. And I don't know if the benefits are real/worth it.

You might like Arimaa. It's playable on a chessboard and has no draws. I find it more fun than chess, mostly because at my low level of chess play, the game is mostly decided by blunders. In Arimaa, it's harder to evaluate who's winning, and it's harder to make big gains or losses in a single turn. It feels like you need more long term planning to win, which makes winning more satisfying IMO.

> That Erlang syntax reminds of the python 'struct' [0], except it's generating the unpacking logic at compile time, am I right?

Kinda, however there are a few superior items to the bit syntax:

* In Erlang, the bindings are in the expression itself (whether packing or unpacking) which makes the correspondance easier.

* Because the bindings are embedded and set left to right, it becomes possible to use one binding as parameter to the next pattern e.g. `L:3, D:L/binary` will first parse 3 bits as an unsigned integer L, then extract the next L bytes as a binary substring.

* Also Erlang's bit syntax can do sub-byte matching, I don't think python's struct can.

* And Erlang's bit syntax is much clearer and orthogonal (modulo knowing the — convenient — defaults) e.g. where extracting a little-endian 32-bit signed integer with struct is "<i" with Erlang it's :32/integer-signed-little (32 units, integer, signed, little-endian; the default unit size for integers is the bit). More verbose, but also completely explicit and more flexible, and very easy to change.
The Way Houyhnhnms Compute (2015)
TDD should only drive the public interface of your "module", if your testing your internals your doing it wrong. It will hinder refactoring rather than help.
That would be true for businesses who’s motivation is to provide a lot of jobs. This would not be true for businesses who intent to make a few people rich. They have another motivation, and definition of higher wage.
Cool course. Would be better if it was updated to include GANs.
Probably depends on what you mean by "arrays". If you use high-level languages like Java, you probably don't use arrays often, if at all, in almost all cases you use collections that provide you with convenient abstractions for everything, even if they are still arrays underneath.
They do not want to break single-pass compilers. Nested functions with no forward declarations will require a multi-pass compiler. I think your D compiler is multi-pass already.
> A public company exists solely for the benefit of the shareholders and all actions stem from that.

Not sure about this.

First off, there's the principal/agent problem that causes many public companies to be run for the benefit of their upper management.

Second, this idea of the shareholder above all other stakeholders is a new phenomenon (since the 1980s). It's also primarily an Anglo Saxon idea (USA, Britain). Other countries include other stakeholders more explicitly. And the USA could as well, of the political will was there.

I agree with you that this is how American capitalism is structured now, but it didn't spring from the mind of God, it's a human institution that can be changed.

A hyperapp tutorial application
(Source: am a university professor)

Do you live near a research university, which employs anyone working in aerospace engineering and/or fluid dynamics? Alternatively, do you ever have the occasion to visit your old university?

I'd try to set up some meetings with professors. Say that you've been working independently, based on questions that were bugging you in your undergrad days, and you'd be extremely grateful if you could discuss your work with them (at their convenience).

Resist the temptation to oversell your work. It sounds like you're claiming to understand drag better than an entire community of experts, who devote their careers to studying it. That is an extraordinarily difficult sell. If you make such a claim, whether in person or in a paper, then your conclusions are likely to be immediately dismissed -- especially at the first sign of any mistake.

Just say you have an alternative theory, and would be grateful to get the chance to discuss it (and have it critiqued) with an established expert. If you make a positive impression, then they will encourage you to publish your results, and will be happy to give you practical advice for doing so.

As a professor, I'd disagree with Nomentatus's suggestion that you should try to "offer to help professors in the area". Accepting help usually creates more effort (for them) than it saves.

It's okay to simply cold-email professors whom you don't know and ask if you could meet them. Be prepared for them to say no, or for them to not reply at all. If they do say yes, don't go in trying to establish a "relationship". The most likely outcome is that they'll say "Oh, that's interesting, you should read X, Y, and Z." Take notes, and -- if you're serious about this -- read X, Y, and Z before you request a second meeting.

In the meantime, make sure you understand why "most people believe drag is simply not possible in inviscid / incompressible flow". If you thoroughly understand the potential objections to your theory, then you might have a shot at convincing someone.

Here is a blog post, which outlines some of the hurdles you could potentially face.

In the long run, if your theory is correct, I believe you have good odds of getting it accepted. Good luck!

> Don’t trans people take the hormones associated with the opposite sex to become more like that sex?

This is correct. Although there's only so much they can do for those of us transitioning post-puberty (like me) once bones have fused and stopped growing.

As testosterone is stronger than oestrogen, it will override the oestrogen in your body and bring about masculinising changes such as making your adams apple more prominent changing your voice box, a V-shaped upper body, facial structure, body hair, hand and feet size, larger bones, and higher hip growth. Whereas if you only have oestrogen, these effects don't occur at all - really only just wider hip growth.

Give the man suffering low testosterone some oestrogen and progesterone, and their mood will lift and vice-versa. Low hormone levels result in depressive symptoms, not what type they are.
Amidst all the potential ways in which even 2FA can be compromised, I am surprised no one is mentioning the biggest benefit of using 2FA- the ephemeral nature of 2nd password. Not only it protects against misuse of stolen credentials, but it also allows to centrally disable the 2nd password should any leak occur. Is this one of the stated goals of 2FA design?

In my view, this makes 2FA an essential security feature, not just a nice improvement over 1FA.

There's also a lot of essential complexity there. SQL provides, in essence, a generic interface for entering and analyzing data. Imagine the number of ways to structure and analyze data.

That made me think of a DMT trip. Makes me wounder about the nature of reality.
There is so much demand for non-mindless consumption these days, and in some areas certainly also the money for it, that I wonder why American companies don't start to signal.

Like, put a huge sign in front of the door:
"America needs higher wages, but someone needs to start! Our prices include fair wages to our workers, 25% above industry average".
Or something more clever.
Building this into the company ethos has the advantage, in the current economy, to not only take higher prices for hopefully little drop in demand, but also to attract better workers.

Since there are almost no labor related laws in the US, the only way to afford above average wages is to generate demand by differentiation.
And that might be done, after all, Americans are willing to tip ridiculous amounts (like 25%) just so that waiters or delivery drivers get to make a living.

Has this ever been attempted? I have no prior on whether it actually works, people might care too much about the price...

> The big picture is that our society is predicated on continuous economic growth, and that's just not tenable in the long run.

On the other hand, US real GDP per capita grew 2%, year after year, for more than a century now. It is both the case that exponential growth is unsustainable, and that exponential growth has been sustained. Since exponential growth since industrial revolution is almost entirely responsible for current human welfare, we should try our hardest to continue it.

You mentioned previously that sandstorm and cloudron are not options. Why not? You’re only talking about hosting on your local machine?
I'm having a hard time understanding how this would actually work in practice.

CPUs act on data coming from eg the disk, memory, the network, etc. The results of instructions influences what the CPU will do next, especially so in the case of self-modifying code.

So, with a system that has a "chaser" CPU following a master CPU one instruction behind... how do you also impose a one-instruction delay on the CPU's view of the real world?!

Unless this is done, the chaser CPU is going to see real-world data and I/O that is out of sync with the instruction stream, isn't it?

I'm quite sure this problem was very elegantly solved, and I'm very curious+interested to find out what that solution was.
Being a "creep" is an ill-defined, all-too-often prudish notion, of "anybody doing anything someone might be offended by" especially when it involves not being totally isolated but having an interest in people around you e.g. as art subjects for street photography.

Everybody that dares to cast an eye on us (man or woman as you added), without knowing us in advance (or even then) without some kind of formal consent, is suddenly "a creep". It's a sign that we forgot how to function and co-exist in a society -- with other people all around us. Everything is about our little personal space boxes...

At the same time, we publicly exhibit more and more of our bodies and lives every day on several platforms (including of our kids and pets and inanimate possessions), and at the same time we protest more than any other time when someone mind consider us a worthy subject for street photography while in public view...

We have a word for this in my country, which roughly translates as "a person who can't stand to have any intra-personal/social interaction, and on such an occasion acts as if they were bitten by a fly". The dictionary translates it as "touchy", but doesn't capture the full richness of it. In any case, everybody is extra touchy nowadays.
Thing is, it doesn't.

As an example cars are produced everywhere around the world but the same product costs roughly the same regardless of geography.

This way in rich countries people can afford domestically manufactured cars, while in poor countries they can't.

Curious if SpamAssassin can do that now.

Personally, I subscribe to the Guardian (the weekend papers, I live in London) and the London Review of Books. I like this model as I'm not buying the individual content so much as I'm buying into the ethos and output of both organisations. I don't really want to be deciding which of the items they do is best, I want them to maintain a machine that will keep surprising me with stuff I want to read.

I think aggregate subscriptions are going to have to become a thing though, likely as a side contribution, without all the benefits of full subscription, but still some access beyond the paywall. Good luck and godspeed to whoever manages to coordianate that.
