If it were me, I'd probably consult Cracking The Coding Interview[1], and the Robert Sedgewick Algorithms in C++ [2][3] books. That and maybe spend some time practicing on Leetcode, Hacker Rank, Project Euler, etc. Skiena's Algorithm Design Manual[4] could also be good.

Sure, that doesn't surprise me.

But how many of those 7000 homeless need that level of care? Half? 2/3? SF should at least be able to get the "easy" people off the street.
You should write your own BASIC interpreter! I'm still in the middle of mine, but it is a lot of fun :)

Don't be a Lumbergh: Motivate without money
I have a feeling we'll found out that it's things like bacteria found in boogers, sweat, ect, that make the best bread.
I believe we are on the same page and think you have just missed my "when it comes to gameplay" here. The overall gameplay (of which controls and control flow are a huge element) of Rockstar Games titles always had a lot to wish for. Been wondering for some time how a AAA company got away with it for so long, it rarely ever gets mentioned in reviews.
You mean like this guy? https://mobile.twitter.com/jeremycorbyn/status/3090657449545...

Ah, true enough. Maybe the 7000 are truly the worst off, and in need of extra services.
If there isn't one, lots of HN code is open source and can probably be ported or used for inspiration to make a Sinophone version :)
The nuance is that a password is something I know, not something that I have. How can it be proven that I know something at a given point in time?

The law enforcement argument is "That is ridiculous, the suspect entered the password 50x a day until we seized the device". (And they are probably correct) But justice is supposed to be about "beyond a reasonable doubt". As a juror, I couldn't convict someone of a crime because he asserted that he does not remember a fact.
You don't search a project to make money, you figure out problem people are currently having, you solve it, provide value and get paid for it. Not that simple, but that's the way to approach you product. Begin with other people's problem not some speculative niche.
The fact that another RN taught her how to commit a terrible crime against the people entrusted to her care doesn't change the fact that that's what it is.

Hopefully she takes better care of the prisoners.
Part of living in a free society is the freedom to completely fuck up your life. But I agree that we should be funding housing and medical treatment, not drug wars and incarceration.
Climate contrarian uncovers scientific error, upends major ocean warming study
Writing tests for error handling can be a pain. You write your product code to be as robust as possible but it isn't always clear how to trigger the error conditions you can detect. This is especially true with integration tests.
IMO the best practice for starting this migration is dependent upon the caller of the procs. Meaning, where you need to abstract, fork, migrate, write test cases at, etc are at that level. There are too many idiosyncrasies between vendor-dependent plsql to do much more than migrate data and calling code (after having written test cases first to confirm functionality equivalence). Often this can include bidirectional data synchronization between independent DBs during the transition. An apt comparison is a temporary bridge built to serve only during the construction phase of large road projects. Don't be tempted to improve things while migrating, one refactor purpose at a time (accuracy/compatibility, and once complete, then improvements).
Do the mood-changing effects of the TRT medication have any resemblance to the mood-changing effects of exercise?

I often notice that in the days during/following good exercise, I not only feel happier, but also more "virile" for lack of a better word, and also more aggressive. I partially attribute this to testosterone increasing.

Do you have any particular opinions on global trends in sperm count reduction?

Could you father children while being on TRT? I have heard that there is a chance that you can become infertile while on it, and after you quit, there is a chance that your "system" does not start up again.
Good question. But it could be that the hype cycle is a natural part of idea development and it may even hide beneficial effects to the timeline of refining a concept. It's kind of hard to say because we can't go back and do an empirical experiment; to try and develop the same technology twice, once with short, sexy buzzwords which spread through the media like an STD and once with dull but realistic scientific papers that never reach any laypeople until the tech is actually done and applied to products and services.

I guess a way to tamp it down might be to avoid appointing big, singular celebrity personalities as officers in the company, to carefully plan press releases, and try to describe concepts precisely and plainly instead of with trendy terms. But it's still so hard to predict what kind of terminology will have that buzz factor before it hits the public, so it might all be pissing up a rope.

Once more, it might actually be a bad idea to try and combat the over-hyping phenomenon when all is said and done. Sure, there's a trough of disillusionment, but there's also a lot of skilled individuals who get swept up in the gravity well of that concept anyway and add talent and funding despite the fact that expectations overshoot reality at first. It might not be so destructive or wasteful, but instead we place too much psychological weight on disappointment and let it blind us to the more modest and slow (but realistic) benefits. I think we as a culture are terribly phobic of disappointment.

Of course some hype cycles don't end in a plateau which gradually progresses upwards--some ideas just die. Who knows how to really spot one of those in time to do any good, though. Hindsight is a benefit we don't get until it's too late, and we must simply try to apply what we learned to the next thing. The next thing is always a little different, though, so it's never a perfect prediction.

For reference if anybody hasn't seen it already:

I am really impressed with what Nvidia is doing here.

I think there is a huge market for improving sound quality in video calls.

For me, roughly every second call I make is somehow harmed by some kind of "bad audio" problems. Breathing, reverb, noise, clipping, too silent, there are so many things that can go wrong.

And this really harms the productivity of video calls.

I have started collecting and building tools to detect all of these sources of bad audio and am collecting them at https://www.tinydrop.io Maybe these APIs can help people to improve their setup. But if software like Nvidia's comes along and just fixes the problem once and for all - that's great as well!

My personal experience with monitoring free testosterone matches this. Though I've never undergone treatments.

For example, I only feel like myself when I'm regularly boxing (competitive, high volume anaerobic+aerobic, physically intense), spending time alone and outside, adhering to a higher fat diet/lower carb diet, occasionally blowing off work to do something else, and so on.

What I take from this is that men respond well to testosterone. There are a number of testosterone boosting activities and foods that might help, including acute treatment when necessary. Glad this is getting recognition.
Thanks for taking the time to provide background data. This is all really great.

I'm skeptical of the percentages you shared, not because I think people are liars, but that rooting out causative effects is complex, especially in self-reported cases.

I have an aunt who was homeless for the better part of a decade. If you had spoken to her during this period of time about why she was homeless, she would have said many things such as (1) she lost her job (2) she got evicted (3) her family kicked her out. In reality she is a paranoid schizophrenic, who does not understand when she's not on her medication that she has schizophrenia. So, was she homeless because she lost her job? Yes. Did she lose her job because she was scaring customers due to her mental disorder? Yes.

When my father was in the hospital and detoxing from his alcohol abuse, he was asked repeatedly "Russ, do you have an alcohol problem?" He uniformly responded "No I do not." He only changed his tune when he believed answering in the affirmative would get his release.

My general point is that homelessness and substance abuse are deeply intertwined, and that if we pull on the thread long enough in someone's backstory, we'll often find that substance abuse was a catalyst in the chain reaction that resulted in their homelessness, but they aren't willing to, or aren't self aware enough, to recognize it.
The conceit that it makes it slimmer is ridiculous. Give me a thicker phone to fit in that headphone jack, and while you're at it, fill the rest of the space with battery.
Not answering your question directly, but the homeless crisis in the US seems to have hit the radar in the early 1980s.

Part of that may be changing terminology -- earlier use of "homeless" tends to focus on "people made homeless" (or "... left ...") after some calamity: structure fire, flood, hurricane, etc. In the 1980s "homeless" became a chronic condition. Other terms may have existed for the long-term unhoused. I'm not aware of them.

What specifically changed, I'm not certain, though circumstances leading to the role of real estate as an asset rather than a utility may be part of that.

I lived in something that small in Switzerland. They even had immigrant families sharing that space. My only point was that we should compare apples to apples, not oranges.
Raw mode by itself is essentially useless for almost all programs; in order to do anything with it, you already need an entire surrounding collection of code to handle editing (even basic things like backspacing) and so on. But line-oriented input remains useful on its own without additional user-level code, again precisely because of the editing support the kernel already provides for you. Since you already need user level code to make any real use of raw mode, the user level code can also set things into (and out of) raw mode as you need it, so line mode remains a sensible default.

If anything things should move the other way, with the kernel providing more readline-style line editing in 'line mode' so that programs need to implement less of it themselves. But this would provoke all sorts of arguments over what line editing the kernel should support and so on, and then someday someone will suggest that the kernel should let you implement your own in-kernel line editing using eBPF (or WASM, if one leans that way), so people could push their preferred choice into the kernel when they log in or start up a shell on a new pty.

You could say that about Ubuntu or any other operating system. "Better safe than sorry" abused this way will lead to no more computers - not the worst future, but I'd at least be out of a job.

My two cents:

PE has been a huge home run because stocks have rallied, but also because their funding costs have been minimal, and returns have been supercharged due to leverage (no such thing as Reg T in PE land).

And yes, the carried interest loophole is a disgusting abomination that cannot be undone in an orderly and democratic fashion because the chief beneficiaries of this loophole are now all billionaires and can/have bribed all the politicians of both parties.

People like Sanders and Ocasio Cortez can undo this, but they are socialists who are probably also keen on undoing a bunch of other stuff the the center/left, center and center/right support. e.g. free enterprise, low taxes, and minimal government interference in our business and personal lives.
Well, whatever money you spend to provide a service goes straight into someones pocket first, before a homeless person gets anything in return.

I was homeless for less than a year. In my experience, it was easy to meet basic needs when you have friends, government programs, and non-profits i.e. strangers will not realize that you are homeless. It wasn't pleasant, but it was also not impossible to no longer be homeless relatively quickly due to the same sources of help. Past research backs up my experience. Most homeless people (approx 80-90% of the homeless population) are only homeless on average for 4-8 months. Depending on the study, only 10-20% of the homeless population is chronically homeless. In the majority of cases, the underlying issue is either mental illness, drug abuse, or a combination of both. imo chronic homelessness will be extremely hard to solve unless the federal government steps in because the states just play "hot potato" with the chronically homeless, shipping them away to another state or even country, instead of trying to address the root of the problem

> Barriss pretended there was a hostage situation at the Wichita house that previously belonged to Viner’s Call of Duty enemy.

While this is terrible, police have no choice but to operate under the assumption that the 911 call is in good faith. From what I read, the police seem to have been acting appropriately for a hostage situation. I would certainly be wary of ruses to make me drop my guard if I thought I was entering a hostage environment.
Stock trades are already decentralized. You can trade AAPL stock derivatives directly without using a blockhain or a stock exchange, so the blockchain part hasn't added anything useful to the transaction.
Barnard's star is a flare star so the surface probably gets randomly fried.
It’s a brilliant marketing step. They knew it would get banned but would only make them look good compared to the regulator, as a result it got way more media coverage than the ad would have got on it’s own, Iceland is going through a real period of change with its new managing director/CEO and this is a manifestion if that.
Only if the government is stupid enough to take on them head-to-head. Any half-competent dictator will sell his vision first, saying how America is in danger and it's time for the freedom-loving patriots to take back their country...

...And then he can sit back and enjoy the fireworks from the safety of Washington DC, while his followers are doing the dirty work.

Those 2A arguments never really made sense to me: what makes you think your gun-toting neighbor (or even yourself) will be on the right side of freedom?
Governments everywhere seem to be increasing their surveillance efforts. Finger prints on id cards. The Indian Aadhaar madness. Chinese "social credit scores". The list goes on.

I guess we have to get used to the new world order, where citizens don't matter, surveillance is everywhere, and there is no obvious way to fight this madness.
You nailed it, though I'm happy he wrote the piece at all despite it being a secret "mea culpa" piece.
I’ve seen some pretty shabby housing in Japan. Some lacked indoor heating even (well, Japan did invent the kotatsu for a reason). I don’t think it is very comparable to housing in say Sam Francisco. They get affordability through various means that wouldn’t be allowed in the states.
The bytecode for AVM2 is fairly well documented, and there is a test suite that you can compare against. We reached 99% compatibility with that, and were at times much faster than the Flash VM (simply benefiting from years of investment in JS engines).

The hard part was understanding what the Flash player was doing, and the differences between all the different Flash Player and SWF File Format versions. Not to mention, re-implementing the rendering engine and the entire API surface of Flash, which was HUGE. We basically took existing content and tried to make sure Shumway did the same thing the Flash player did, wrote a regression test and repeated the process.

To this day, I still don't understand exactly how the timeline worked (or was supposed to work). It's like a web page DOM, but you can jump back and forth in the timeline, it's wild.

We certainly learned a lot working on Shumway. Firefox got a lot better, we stressed the JS engine and the graphics stack quite a bit, and had to make improvements all throughout the codebase to make Shumway possible.

In a lot of ways, Flash was great. Its rendering engine was (and still is) quite impressive, and nothing has really replaced it yet.
Imho: can it faithfully play most Flash games on Newgrounds?
I still feel happier after exercise. Running a mile or two always making me an optimist for a couple hours afterwards.

I actually remember the first time I took it, I was euphoric for like 24 hours. It was as if all of the sudden I felt like I had control over my life.

I used to freak out over deadlines and staying late at work, and even if mentally I told myself not to worry about it I'd get visible anxiety symptoms like pressured speech and shaking.

On TRT those anxiety symptoms are significantly diminished. I don't freak out over things that aren't life threatening much anymore. It's like my body's response system to danger had it's threshold increased.
That they're unhappy with how they handled YouTube Kids, nothing about censoring the main YT product.
Who is it useful to and why is it better than the trades you can make with an ordinary brokerage account?

Keep in mind that much of finance is not obviously useful from an outside perspective, so "here's a trade you could do" is not enough to show usefulness.
Another downside of TRT is that it greatly reduces male fertility by suppressing intratesticular testosterone. This is usually reversible by discontinuing treatment, but in rare cases it can be permanent. However depending on the cause of low testosterone (talk to your doctor), clomiphene citrate (clomid) can spur the testes to produce additional testosterone all the way up to the high normal range. So if you have low T and might want children in the next couple years, then look into that.

I'm not a doctor, but from my basic undergraduate level understanding of biology I would expect clomid to be highly effective in cases where low testosterone is due to xenoestrogen exposure, among others.
