This argument only works if you are a person who believes that every inch should be effectively owned by governments.

So it is not competition. When you purchase land, it doesn't really belong to you. It belongs to the government, as you still have to pay their fee, which can increase at any time without you having a choice.

It would be wonderful if it were possible to buy land, and that land actually belonged to you. This is unfortunately impossible, though, so it makes no sense to talk about competition. It is not a free market.
For those wondering: the first was http://fjellstrand.no/flyers/flyer_1696.pdf (2015)

Quite a bit larger than the NZ one (4 times the length) , about a MW of power (max), and, reading https://electrek.co/2018/02/03/all-electric-ferry-cuts-emiss..., about a MWh of battery capacity.

This isn’t built for long distances, but a good first step.
It's just a shame they felt they had to put in the sneaky telemetry.

Go to meetups. Language exchange meetups are the most diverse in terms of what people you meet do for living. Programming meetups let you befriend people from IT circles.

On Friday I visited a Mundo Lingo meetup in Buenos Aires and met a lot of interesting and nice local people (along with travellers from other countries). If I was planning to stay longer I'd say I could have met there one or two people I could be long term friends with. And it was so easy and enjoyable. Normally I'm not good at social events, like parties or generally interacting with strangers at clubs and pubs, but the atmosphere there is the most friendly.
Which is what I mean by leading you to "technically correct" code. At the end of it, you have everything wired up in a way that exposes the functionality, but you haven't necessarily spent any time testing out the ergonomics of actually using the UI.

Could just be the people I've worked with aren't good at UI design.
No, that specific class isn't available to non CMU students or staff (of which I am the latter).

There are several CMU courses, however, where the full collection of lectures are available to watch on YouTube. The Fall 2017 offering of Mathematics for Machine Learning lectures are all on YouTube.
> that is almost certainly going to require humans to review the complaint

The solution that I'm proposing does not. At least, not YouTube employees. It would work like this:

1. Offer "the claimant doesn't have copyright for that audio" as one of the options.

2. You supply the proof of this (as it already works)

3. The claimant reviews this proof (as it already works) In my case, it's going to their own website and seeing that they are claiming rights on a public domain music.

4. The claimant releases the claim

5. YouTube marks that the claimant has no rights over that audio and they cannot pester anyone else with that. This would only work if I select that they don't own the copyright in the first step, and they acknowledge it themselves in step 4.

Basically, all it changes is adding one more checkbox when fighting a claim and aftermath that the claimant has confirmed themselves that they don't actually own copyright to that work.
Compiler Fuzzing Through Deep Learning [pdf]
why would you do ML in JS?
I'd love to know how to test graphics and audio programs, frankly.

TDD works very well for things with a defined input and output, including:
1. compilers
2. databases
3. all web apps (output is the DOM)

In regards to the escape string, if there was a bug at exactly 15 characters, there must be a branch somewhere that isn't being hit, and it should be pretty easy using code coverage reports to find it, and generate the correct input sequence to exercise it.

When you get to fuzzing, you're hitting the edge of state-of-the-art. There is good research going on at automating some of that: http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/

> if that’s the difference between catching a connection in SF or not then that’s a 20 minute savings it could be

Here's a heuristic you should try applying: under some reasonable assumptions, getting to the platform X seconds earlier should shave X seconds off your commute in expectation and not affect the variance. (Those assumptions are basically "you're not trying to catch a particular train.")

Of course, you may have a nonlinear objective function in terms of time/delay, or you may be optimising for regret instead of arrival time, and in those cases the analysis may turn out differently.
I wasn't familiar with Carrier’s claim to that effect, but it doesn't seem to have widespread acceptance and seems (from the secondhand description you provide) to ignore what seems to be generally accepted from outside evidence about the term “Chrestianos”.
Additionally, buy your own modem and save (a lot of) money by not leasing it forever from the ISP.

> "On very busy or very long escalators, standing is probably faster for everyone. "

How so? I don't see how an escalator could possibly be slower than everybody standing (discounting the possibility of somebody actually walking backwards.)

> "Or maybe multi-lane, variable speed walking escalators, but I guess those are sci-fi... "

I've badly wanted to try that ever since I read Caves of Steel. It sounds terrifying but exhilarating.
Vapes like Juul are also way easier to consume to excess, for reasons the OP explains.
Visiting family this Christmas, I was happy to see the ferry line that connects Sweden and Denmark has retrofitted their fleet, so they are now all-electric.

The ferries are automatically recharged by a robotic system at each port while they are loaded, it's pretty neat.

Emacs - I learned Vim last year and was forever changed by modal editing and using only the keyboard. I was interested in Emacs for a while but couldn't move past the shortcuts. That led to evil-mode and Doom Emacs, which I've since been using. These are some of my favorite new tools, and I take a lot of joy finding new thinks to optimize in my config files.

Bash - This is still a work in progress, but I've enjoyed the ease Bash provides for scripting, compared to doing the same thing in Node or Python.

Unix - In the last few months, I've started familiarizing myself with different commands, such as sed, grep and awk, to navigate around the command line and edit files. I'm hoping to get better in 2019.
I just run the stairs as fast as I can.
Linux Fu: Share Terminal in Browser
Just watch it via live stream and you can also use the IRC channel per room. Sometimes even more interesting than being there.
They had general strikes and civil wars and riots. I think it was felt. With blood.
It isn't supernatural, trust me. Very simply: I set a goal, understood what prerequisites I needed to fill, and just worked hard to get there. I put in about 5 - 10 hours a week in the first half of the year working through the OCW courses, then probably 10-15 hours a week during the CMU class. I work fulltime as a software engineer, so my 'class' time was usually a couple hours a night, after the wife and kids go to bed.
I do a lot of ui stuff and the sort of test I'd write for say a form and a save button would be:

1) populate the form with invalid data, click save. Verify that I showed an error message and it was structured how I want it. Verify I didn't call the database save.

2) populate the form with valid data, click save. Verify no error was shown, verify we called save on the dB layer and that the model we passed to save was as expected. Verify we showed the user a confirmation.

3) if we have required and non required fields, a test to verify each required field is actually required. If its not required verify the correct defaults are used.

4) if we are passing messages on save yo update other ui forms, then verify the message was sent and the underlying object or collection on the other ui element is updated with expected values.

I would expect these tests to run on every build, and on your dev machine on every save.

Otherwise you are just hoping devs arent breaking stuff... And hoping they test each case. Which for even a trivial form can be numerous. I'd definitly want this automated!
I agree about Fifth Season.
What about languages with strong typing? Is it as useful as with, let’s say, Ruby?
as a data scientist, it has always been about the data. it has always been a data race. google has known that, which is why they spent billions trying to protect their search moat.
First timer also. Will bring my Panasonic KX-TGA110FX to check if it works. They don't list that exact model in the compatibility list, so it may not work. Reserved an extension 8995 for me.
OK for some use cases, but not mine. I often run long running computations in repos, and like to be able to add/modify code. A replay based repl would not work at all for me.
I like justice porn as much as anybody else, but I wonder if some of these outlets become more about venting one's misogyny, more than about pointing out wrongdoing?

Lots of people out there who ascribe their grievances to a group of "others", be that immigrants, ethnicities, genders etc. I can see those channels turning into a confirmation bias echo chamber pretty quick.
This is a problem that's solvable with computer vision and face recognition. Just fine everybody. Somebody's face can't be recognized or linked to an account? Pay them a visit. With time it should be rare enough.
> My friends dad's never took responsibilites seriously

What kind of dad was this man then? What kind of connection did he build with his daughter?

It's so obvious from what you wrote, yet it's interesting you seemingly didn't draw the connection. edit: it may be also that your friend herself did not draw this connection or is unconsciously avoiding it.

So, so much happens behind closed doors, in every home. So much unwritten history. So much that you'll never know about someone.

We all want to love our parents and feel it is the right thing to do. Yet to heal trauma, to heal depression... you have to acknowledge the anger that has built up. Legitimate anger of being ignored, insulted, ridiculed, abandoned, shamed, and so on. Paradoxically.. it is through gradually allowing oneself to feel this anger, that the heart opens.. and we are able to love again both self and others.
I learned that I need coworkers and a proper work community. Joining a good company as an employee after running my own business from home feels like such a great breath of fresh air.
No staffing needed. Add a wide staircase and a faster (3x as fast preferred) escalator.

This was very cool idea and is one of the things that made me start playing. In the Official Guide book to UO you could find for each creature what it desired. From what I understand that was lifted from the database guiding the ecology system.

A great source for more information on the design of UO (including some bits on the ecology system if you dig deep enough) is Raph Koster's blog: https://www.raphkoster.com/tag/ultima-online/
You can probably safely fit more people on the escalator if everyone stands still, so while individuals would be going slower, overall throughput on the escalator would be higher.

They should have given Bambi a BFG3000 to defend herself.
I love how all the hand wringing about how protesters are really just virtue signaling is basically the same argument that the joker gives when hanging by his toes: YOU KNOW YOU’RE JUST LIKE ME UNDERNEATH BATMAN

I mean come on. The argument that we need to just have a calm, rational debate over whether some groups of people are just racially inferior is so absurd it deserves to be treated with ostracism and disgust. I’m sorry that these old Ivy League gentlemen are offended by a bit of truth. But this is not about idealized debate, it’s about power, and violence, and transformation, and you’re not going to get that without getting a little mad and making some noise.
Should be noted it usually takes a bit longer to get to that first working version in Rust. It's debatable whether in the long run it's faster to develop with.

I would argue it is much faster to get to a final, 'correct' working version because you spend less time debugging. Time is also drastically cut down the more familiar you are with the language, but still, I'd love to see some data on dev time between languages with robust type systems vs dynamic.

Great to see Crystal in production! I'm a Rubyist and rooting for Crystal's success.

Do you use any frameworks with Crystal or has it mostly been vanilla stuff? How would you gauge the maturity of the dev environment?
- Rust - I had tried learning C++ before but I found it confusing, especially the ecosystem. I have not built anything serious with Rust but it was easy to learn imo compared to C++, especially since it has a package manager and also the Rust book is amazing. I knew the basics of pointers but I had never really worked directly with them. Learned a lot. Now I've been dabbling with C++ (because some programs I'd like to modify are written in it), and it's been slightly easier.

- Databases - I'm self taught so I never really learned about basic structures (b-trees, etc) and I've always been interested in how databases really work (e.g. why relation/non-relational have x limits) so I started I started learning about them. In particular I've been watching these lectures https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSE8ODhjZXjbisIGOepfn...

- 3D Printers/Printing - Have been saving up to build one for a while. Initially I was just going to buy a kit, but the quality/cost ratio for the kits where I live are bad. So I looked at existing solutions, but I wanted to avoid having to 3d print parts, plus I had a few other limitations, so I have ended up designing my own. Am learning a lot. Has also got me interested in fooling around with electronics more. I've always been interested but since I didn't really have any real tangible projects to work on and I did not even know what could be done, I never got much farther then fixing a few broken electronics.
I doubt this would happen in practice. This was a survey of mturk not an actual study where they paid people.
I think government is one of those things that is clean cut and beautiful in the abstract, and an absolute clusterfuck in reality. There are plenty of people who would say the same thing about the Obama era. It really just depends what team you're rooting for.

The thing, in my opinion, that is the single biggest merit of the American political system is that reality that most people are self-interested jerks is built in. People are expected to not see eye to eye, the "checks and balances" are in place not to make us all agree, but to keep things functioning well enough that we don't turn violent.
This is one of the things that impresses me so much with EVE Online - that the economy has stayed as stable as it has. (Sure, there has been some inflation, and some interesting swings at times, but it still fundamentally works.)

> Particularly in UI code, TDD seems to lead to code that is "technically correct", but produces a UI that is an absolute pain in the ass to do anything with.

TDD (or ATDD or BDD; unit testing tends to be removed from the level of UI concern here) is not a substitute for UI design, at most it validates that the UI correctly implements the specifications given. This is not a problem with TDD/ATDD/BDD for UI-related components, it is a problem of neglecting UI design.

(The same true, mutatis mutandis, of every other part of a system, too; development driven by building executable tests and the coding to pass those tests, in any of it's forms, is not a substitute for analysis and design but a tool to assure that implementation matches the design and does not do work unnecessary to fulfilling the design.)
I learned Ponylang, and I studied a lot of papers about Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs). However, I haven't yet quite combined the two.

I'm looking forward to applying them more in 2019.
This is why I'd really like to see some projects that compile to readable js when not in production mode. Throw in some auto-generated comments above every method that tell you the file and line number in the Rust/Go/Crystal/Whatever code that this comes from, and debugging will be fairly easy.
And this kind of response really grinds my gears; I am relatively certain, given the time scales involved and the nature of your response, that you didn't read my links, and you haven't provided any of your own. Nonetheless!

Doing logic is doing metaphysics. Suppose 1+1=2 for addable numbers, that you have oranges and can add more oranges, and also that the number of oranges you have is an addable number. Now you know, as a matter of plain old philosophical handwavey logic, that if you have 1 orange, and you add 1 more orange, then you'll have 2 oranges. Easy, right? This generalizes to any topos and it's known as "internal logic". The slogan we have is, "a topos is a place for doing logic".

Doing metaphysics is doing logic. Want to know what's impossible? If it can be characterized purely by mathematical structures, and those structures' existence leads to contradiction, then it's impossible. Thus, "models" in the first sense of the original article, free unconstrained unicorn metaphysics models, are actually logically (and thus mathematically) constrained by "models" in the second sense, in the mathematical sense. A powerful example of this is M-theory, borne from string theory; right now, the "swampland" cleanup is sweeping through string theory and helping refine our sense of which particle physics are possible.

An ontologist in today's postmodern world surely knows that the (inherently mathematical!) structures that they are building and studying are created, not discovered; subjective, not objective; narratives, not truths. Mathematicians know this formally, via Tarski's Undefinability. Just like an ontologist tries to find models, a programmer tries to find models, searching for the database schemata and the class hierarchy that will match their problem.

(Indeed, what is "anything of substance"? Is it physical?)
I also write those sorts of tests. I just write them after I am happy with the way things are working. Like I said, tests have their place. When to write them is just personal preference.

if a queue forms to get on the escalator
Messaged you on mastodon i think? Check if i got the right person :)
As long as algorithmic is the default, it’s changing aggregate behavior in a big way

I can switch algorithmic sorting off, but if it’s the default for everyone else, and causing the most polarizing political content to spread even faster, it effects me and even people who don’t use Twitter at all
In the Shanghai subway system, the normal case is that one half of the escalator walks and the other stands still. But when the crowd is large, population pressure forces both halves to stand still.

This experience made me surprised that Tokyo would need to implement such a system top-down; I figured their crowds would be large enough that it was happening anyway.

Looks like "better" queueing behavior may be responsible for the failure.
Somebody walking on the elevator does not inhibit the person behind him from standing still. The person who stands behind a walker is going to get on and off the elevator at the same times.

Will foster new substantial research and development in material science as well as the mathematics for the QC field.

I personally think health-benefits from Quantum computer modeling of chemical reactions, and protein folding will bring us much closer to 'per-person' pharmaco-genetics than current methods.

Also having a specific government structure established and dedicated to this field is important.

Khashoggi is obviously a canard; the Saudi Arabian government is currently running torture chambers in Yemen where they roast people alive[1]. The US has had no problem with this for years; we ourselves appointed a known torturer to head the CIA, the organization which is supposedly agog about Khashoggi's assassination. The CIA itself has been running an extrajudicial assassination program for over a decade now. Talk about "virtue signaling".

These people, the ones who are part of the security apparatus, are not in any position to make moral choices for the rest of us. They are highly immoral actors. I want to see them removed from government. The idea that they are capable of making good decisions in secret, without public input or oversight, is belied by the two decades of war, torture, assassination, and general chaos that they have actively fostered.

The problem, really, is that all of the secret policy conversations about Saudi Arabia have been about how to get them to continue buying weapons from American arms merchants, a policy greatly to the detriment of the American public, which would, in general, favor a policy more like: disengage from the Middle East, stop supporting torture, and transition away from fossil fuels. If we had spent $6 trillion on that instead of funding pointless wars and building up the Saudi torture state, we'd be much better off.

Let's stop having unaccountable, immoral people decide in secret what is good for America, and get back to letting the American public decide. We're better at it.
