Under the hood, what's happening is that the physical layer is reporting that a packet failed to decode, and the link layer is attempting retransmission at a series of lower and lower fallback rates. It's designed this way because if it fails to deliver a packet, TCP will freak out. There's an RFC about the general case of designing link layers to hide random losses: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3366

I think the focus on regional effects is a good one because people relate to them much more easily. Today there is also a great article in the NYT on climate change in Yellowstone. It talks about snowpack, drought, and invasive species of weeds and bugs that are more prevalent because of shorter warmer winters. That kind of specificity hit home for me living in the Midwest. In the past few years our ash trees were ravaged by the Emerald Ashbore and just this year a horribly difficult weed, the yellow nutsedge, began spreading. Both of these are new in our area because of warmer temperatures.
I agree. If users have a poor experience, they'll be less likely to try it again after you've polished it. I'm sure there's a balance between the two, but "if you're not embarrassed" is too strong of a statement (I suppose it's an exaggeration to send a message). Plus, embarrassment is subjective.

Going with Dart gave flutter
- complied to machine code
- fast GC
- stateful Hotreload, a feature of the Dart vm use in dev builds.

My understanding is Dart originally started out with a vm along with a Dart-to-JavaScript compiler. The Dart team was also doing their own experiments in the iot and ios space.

Flutter, at that time it was call the Sky project/experiment, looked at several languages before give dart a go.

Apple only allows their JS VM on ios.

The nature of flutter, creating and discard many objects per frame, required a fast GC.

The hotreload feature was one the Flutter team didn't know they wanted, it was a suggestion from the Dart team.

So the Dart Team was able to meet flutters needs of creating a fast GC and being able to be compiled to machine code for ios and android as well.

I mostly base it on that Russia is on the same side as Iran in Syria. I admit I'm less clear on the bigger picture.
I don’t know. Costco is a different business. There workers aren’t focused on customer support. The Costco workers don’t hate the customers but they don’t go out of their way to help customers like I have seen Walmart workers do for example.

Nope. The NEC corridor, on which Acela runs, does not carry freight traffic (at least, not except for some rare trains at night). Acela's conflicts are with all of the commuter rail systems that share the track (MARC, SEPTA, NJT, Metro North, Shore Line East, and MBTA commuter rail), plus the regular intercity Amtrak service.
It makes me sad that, in 2018, acknowledgement of scientific fact is seen as a "political belief".
IMHO tech is the easy part. The two hardest parts of side projects are:
1. Finding a solvable problem that hasn't already been done a million times.
2. Getting users and breaking even on user acquisition costs.

If you're re-writing your project 4 times, it means you're having fun or learning(nothing wrong with that).

But for those that are building a business, it is about delivering value to end customers.

Funnily enough, I've been working on my transition to a CS career while my kids are in that age bracket. I work full time in the military and study CS, as a single parent, while my kids are 5 and 3 (I started when they were 3 and 1). I'm a tired man.

My end goal is to work for myself, I want to own a company that builds products. This can be either products that we own or building for others. I love building things but I'm now trying to learn about the art of selling and finding a customer base.
It's quite clear that if climate change is real and a pressing concern, the people flying around the world trying to stop it would not be major drivers of the problem.

Unfortunately for humans, all the evidence seems to indicate strongly that climate change is more than a conspiracy to get a few people marginal relative wealth increases. Especially since it seems the ones trying to convince the world to change haven't been very successful.

Also, I'm pretty sure the GP wasn't saying "I shouldn't save because politics," but rather, "A 401k sounds great, but if everyone's starving and the world is in chaos, what's the point?"
I do ask that...

Why is it inherently moral for me to get a certain benefit vs someone else, why would that change depending on where I am or where they are, where I'm from or where they are from?
There are methods to hot-swap the batteries without losing your saves.

The annoying thing is that you need a soldering iron on the games. The CNC machine probably doesn’t.
I will explain my upvote: the single greatest enemy of solving Climate change, literally anywhere in the world, is the Republican Party. If you imagine a world in which the Republican Party does not have the ability to affect U.S. policy, you can imagine a world in which a) we are already deep into U.S. efforts to lead the way on preventing large rises and b) where the terms of the debate about where to go from here are very different. Right now, Republicans control the government, so you are correct that we should not expect much change at the federal level before 2020 unless something radical and highly unlikely happens.

I don't know why you're being downvoted, but I think it's important to say this clearly: anyone who believes that global warming is real, that science is a rational basis for knowledge, and wants humanity to address warming as soon as possible, is in profound, fundamental conflict with the Republican Party about the most important crisis of our time.

The significance of this report is to convey the gravity of the crisis and to raise a sense of emergency among the public. If the report succeeds, it will be generating the political will necessary to strip Republicans of power and force through a science-based policy.
I did this in Panama. They use the US dollar, but cost of living is not that low. Food actually cost more, with the exception of locally produced things. It can work out well. I did it tax free too, but it is a lot more complex for US citizens. Although I think you only have taxes on income above $100,000 a year outside of the country, but I'm not an accountant, so take that with some salt.
You're generally right and I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass, but the one example I thought of belatedly AFTER hitting "Add Comment" on the above, just happened to be this... in a country that mostly seems to have its shit much more together than the US, too:

Grateful that I can look back on my time on this planet and see a series of connected ‘coincidences’ that are leading to a future better than I can even imagine. The constituents of every little thing I enjoy in my everyday life were carefully produced by Nature over billions of years and were fashioned into useful or joyful things by other human beings. People no different from you or me in many respects.

Grateful to be an Indian-American and to be alive in 2018 AD instead of any other time in history. My cultural identity is rooted in my family tree that found a way to make it to the Land of Opportunity before I was born, the Natives who roamed these lands for millennia, and the pioneering ethos of America that established the National Park Service. Throughout my twenties, I’ve been fortunate to experience some of what was described in the Vedas, some sacred ceremonies of the Natives, and to be pursuing my version of the American Dream.

Grateful to have experienced the heaviness of the seafloor and the euphoria of the summit. These experiences have made it possible for me to empathically relate to nearly everyone I meet, even people who may not like me or agree with me. It puts the biggest smile on my face to be able to See the unity in the diversity, to Hear the order in the chaos, to Feel the perfection in the paradox. That I, too, can contribute to this collective creation we call ‘civilization’ if I can continue to cultivate the courage and compassion to overcome these mountains before me and within me.

Thanks for reading, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! :)
This isn't about light rail. This is about allowing lighter train cars--that aren't designed to survive collisions with freight trains--on regional rail lines.
Not all businesses need to innovate or die. Just look at craigslist. Due to the nature of a 2 sided marketplace and the catch-22 challenge of acquiring a sufficient userbase, other competitors that innovated weren't able to compete.

I hardly think that encouraging someone to seek out alternative positions from which to view the world, and a suggestion that there is a grey area for all this constitutes zealotry. Quite the opposite, in fact.

And in my experience projects with unit tests are far _less_ riddled with bugs, which is the whole point, no?

And I don't know understand why on earth you think I'm telling anyone they are "shit". I'd advise someone to broaden their horizons if they said they thought functional programming was worthless, or that assembly language was always pointlessly low level, or any one of a number of possible assertions that wouldn't sit well with me. That is far from "you are shit" - it's much more assuming they are not shit, but haven't had the right context yet.

I don't think the rolling stock is anywhere near the top of the list of reasons that passenger rail doesn't work in most of the US.

This change will benefit regional systems that are already established but I don't see it making much of a difference beyond that.
That or the exercise means you're too tired to actually do anything with your anger and disappointment and instead just sit there hating yourself.
> When you're separating out the model/essence from the view/representation portions of a system, the most important distinction is: the essence carries all the information necessary to determine (a configuration of) the representation. In this case, you can set up a mapping from the essence to the representation once; after that, you can stop thinking about the view/representation because changes to the model/essence already cover everything.

How does this work when you have to deal with animations, or state that you don't want to commit until the user completes a gesture or activity, or complex transitions between screens? It's not necessarily a good idea to shove all that stuff directly into the model.

I think if you treat the Controller as a mere implementation detail, your interfaces will lack liveliness. Simulation time and running user input are just as essential to the view as any changes to the model. That's (IMO) what the Controller is there for: to encapsulate that sort of temporal complexity.
It would be cool if computers were designed to shutdown and clear RAM if they detected rapid cooling.

Ideally this monitoring process would continue during hibernation.

I guess there wouldn’t be anything possible if power was completely removed, but at least then an attacker is dealing with only being able to begin cooling after shutdown and cells start being lost.

The system should also balk if restarted within a short period of time, but a rapid temperature reduction. This would help prevent non-removal attacks (Eg: rebooting with a minimal OS to pull whatever one could -> great for MACs).
Well, I don't know for a fact everything those interrupts do. What I know is that I had to turn those off (along with bunch of other things) to meet strict realtime guarantees for my proof of concept algorihmic trading framework I did for a brokerage house. This was few years back on Haswell on best hardware you could buy including top bin Xeons dedicated for algotrading that were clocking 5GHz by default (frequency locked, sleep states turned off, etc).

On the other hand I never noticed anything funky with regards to memory latency that would cause me to investigate. This is probably because I would already treat memory like a remote database and try to do as much as possible within L2 and L3.

The budget for entire transaction (from the moment bytes reached NIC to the moment bytes left NIC as measured by external switch) was 5us so 0.1us was below noise threshold.
Eh, I do still wish super/subscript characters in unicode were a bit more thorough. Several times a day I randomly remember the fact that every lowercase letter in the English alphabet except q has a unicode superscript character, and every single time it ruins my day.
>>>>What is new and exciting about it? Ive had tartine, years ago, and last month, ive baked my entire life, nothing about it was mindblowing. I hope you can change my mind

So, you've been baking your entire life and there's no seeking for improvement, nothing new and exciting? And you feel that your bread is perfect already?

Isn't it quite sad? Where's the heart and intend when you're making bread? Where's the passion? Where's the innovation. And 6000 years is just nonsensensical. Might as well say that bread was there before any human existed.

Even though I love making bread. Im primarily a coffee guy. If we are not using technology and innovation with better equipments to brew, roast, harvest, plant, cultivate. I wouldn't be in this industry no more. you might want to put down your pride and rethink your take on baking and do some researching and discovering for new techniques and skills. You know, ever heard there's always room for improvement? And maybe, just maybe, you could find some excitement, or get mind-blowned, and find a little joy, and impart that joy and passion through your baking.. come on. Every person that eats your bakes deserve that. (;

In the modern era marriage has become cheap and disposable, a product of the sexual revolution. So you are unhappy, get a divorce!

"Wow, that really seems to be a problem. Wait, that's me they're mad at? And all my enemies are the ones baying for blood? They're probably lying, they are the other team after all. Nevermind."

I didn't downvote, but unless you have a plan for wiping out half the electorate you'll have to work with the other party. Activating everyone's mental immune systems with a nice pathogen-like protien coat of enemy rhetoric is not a good way to do it. It's like stirring peanut butter into the vat at an antihistamine factory.
> shipping software that does something subtly different from what your users want

You mean like software that doesn’t do exactly whet the user wants, but the user doesn’t realize it until they buy the product and then start realizing that the implementation requires more effort and customization than they were led to believe? Because that happens all the time, it’s practically the core business model of enterprise software sales since they also earn a consulting/support fee for helping with the implementation and customization.

I thought it had something to do with containers.
"Convincing someone to attach something to their house has significant costs. Like, "over $2000 per install" significant."

Not any more. We've got 50-state legal solar stuff where you just lay the panels out in the yard, literally plug them into your wall outlet, and every outlet on that circuit is energized. You can even leave it hooked to your power at night time, as the junction boxes have barrier rectifier diodes that prevent the panels from consuming power at night.

Install costs are becoming almost negligible due to advancing technology.

Cell efficiency is up there. Typical monocrystalline panels run 20+% now days (and look utterly gorgeous - https://imgur.com/a/sZGtYmB - picture from my job.)

Opportunity costs? Each cell runs on average $1.00 for most manufacturers, so you just need to shop around. A typical 60-cell panel at 300W runs about $150-200.

Most of your concerns have not been concerns for about 5 years.
Keeping it more consistent with work setup.
My math professors would teach maths under the presumption we knew mathematical notation. I felt I got thrown in the deep in during first-year calculus units but I also now feel strangely adept at reading maths so it had a positive effect.
I’m literally laughing out loud. I thought I recognized your username: you were one of the ones calling Boss as a Service a complete scam for losers who have psychological issues motivating themselves. And yet here you are, talking about how it’s easy to work on boring corporate stuff where you have a boss, but it’s nearly impossible to motivate yourself on your own stuff.

Which is exactly the issue that something like Boss as a Service is there to solve.

It’s so perfect that I’m pretty convinced this is a subtle troll on your part.
True. Yet managers love them because these tools promise the ultimate pipe dream: uniform, interchangeable engineers.
That's fine. I'm used to Nazi treatment from Nazi moderators and admins. :) It doesn't bother me one bit. The world will see to their comeuppance sooner or later.
Discord uses React Native, and they only have two developers on their iOS app. Millions of users, impressive app with high performance...two devs.
Tldr: the incentives that govern the platform (gamifying and monetizing attention, as well as prioritizing clicks, shares, ads, and money over quality of information) will largely remain the same.
Sure, but the reverse side of that is the proportional cost increase of solar that has excess capacity. Solar has negligible running costs, it's irrelevant that you use the energy or not, the capital costs will have to be recovered from the price of the fraction of energy that you do use.

So you are effectively asking for a 3-5x lower solar cost before it could replace existing sources. Never mind that there are seasons and periods of the day when no amount of excess capacity will cover the demand, there is simply no significant solar energy on continent-wide scales.
The article presents DC's park and ride station as "a perfect example of WHAT NOT TO DO". But it's really all they can do if they must force a train system into an area without the right kind of density.

I very much agree we need a new approach to planning an zoning. We need to focus on that first. It could take longer than a generation to transition away from the suburban model.
There's a third option, though: Do whatever, but vote for a party that wants to curb emissions. Only governments can turn this around. Listened to an interview with a climate scientist who was advocating that. He said individual action is a distraction.

Right, that makes sense. It's not the right fit for every business idea.

If you could find yourself a 5-10 beta customers, perhaps launching to them before billing is ready might work? You could even perhaps set a cap on how many SMS messages they can send per day or week. That would keep your costs low while still getting you some feedback.

You should of course do whatever is best for your product. I've just learned from experience that launching as soon as you can is great, because you'll often find that many of your assumptions about how and why people will use your product don't match how they actually use it.

I remember an article which was saying that a lot of startups are just solving problems for the 'millenials' that their moms used to solve. Laundry, making food, making appointments, cleaning, etc. Now there is a startup that will sign your grade sheet and tell you to do homework.
Would you mind linking to the page where we can find that reference? I couldn't find it in Ch14 or by searching.

That portion is supposed to be a mix of all three. It’s possbible that some modification of the mix would be profitable, but supposedly the retail is non-viable without a population of office workers to provide steady traffic.

Oddly, the massive success of mixed-use development at the nearby Dunn Loring station is being used as an excuse to sit on this project, because they say it’s too close and couldn’t compete. (Meanwhile, a massive new mixed use development is going up just half a mile down the road.)
