Maybe that's just an effect of mixing different youtubers catering to different crowds in one video. Put monster trucks and chess in one video, and you get dislike from not a small part of both monster trucks fans and chess fans.

I was curious and checked the specs for my bike computer: “Supported Satellites: GPS, GLONASS, BEIDOU Galileo, and QZSS.”

This is in a $250 unit so clearly neither cost nor geopolitics seem to be obstacles.
Your iPhone is indifferent to the type of the system and likely uses several of them at once.
I know you write this in jest, but the problem is that when Germans talk purely to other Germans on Facebook, they still have to do so according to American cultural standards. I can stage a protest on the street outside here in Melbourne and the social rules, expectations and conventions that I am subject to are Australian. But there’s no equivalent online - if I organise that protest with other Australians on FB or Twitter, the discussion is bizarrely at the whim of Californian corporate moral police.

I love my iPhone to bits but the fact that I’m prevented by a US company from buying apps with sexual content is grating in the same way. Why is a nipple considered harmful to children while graphic displays of violence aren’t? I will never understand that norm. I wouldn’t have to grapple with it, except that my own phone enforces your nonsense moral code. It’s super aggravating.
Have you heard that "Christus" is also believed to be an interpolation?

It's interesting to compare this with how much pressure you have to put on advertisers to get them to dissociate from far-right content. Seemingly brands are happy to appear alongside articles demanding that refugees be murdered at sea.
Exactly this, for the past many years, when ever i have needed a good answer to a not-so-common problem, Stack Overflow cuts right to the chase and delivers a useful answer.
>How is it we allow people to make money from hacking human brains...

Sugar.
Flagged for just being native advertising, considering how often the brand is mentioned (most of the article applies to all e cigarettes)
I can see this being driven by some combination of moral panic over teen sexting and FOSTA.

Or the creepy version: photo app "oversight" that automatically notifies someone else (parent, abusive controlling partner) if nudity is detected in a camera photo.
Again, I don't see the size as anything but an excuse against it. Surely in the US, it would have to be adapted to different areas' populations. I'm not convinced Indiana is so much less homogenous than, say, Sweden. They are definitely not all on the left side of Sanders.

And again keep in mind the Scandinavian countries have budgets which means that you can't always get the treatment you want/need even if you had the money.

I don't know where you get this sort of information. I will never not be able to afford my medication. I broke my arm and got immediate, affordable treatment and had paid time off work even though my job was seasonal. In the US, with insurance, I would have struggled, not only with hospital bills, but with work. If you have an issue that they cannot treat in the country, you can travel outside of the country for treatment. Even if you are poor and have no money - the state does that. There are private hospitals and clinics around - if you have money, you can use them. They aren't always that much more expensive and the waiting period for non-emergency stuff is less.

The bottom line is that you are against a single payer system. That's fine, be honest, but please make sure your actual facts are facts instead of things people hear.
>Then who are the creditors? If every country paid their debt, where would the money end up?

Bond holders. The us treasury holds bond auctions all of the time to raise money.

I bought my first e-cigarette the other day from a local smoke shop. I am switching to vaping as a way to quit smoking after 10 years. Anyways, I saw the juul cigarette for more than double the price of all the other normal e-cigarettes on the shelf and the capsules themselves weren't cheap. I obviously went with the less flashy eco vaporizer and bought the liquid in the bottle. Cost me $30 in total and still using it 3 months later.

My point is that I didn't any reason to buy the juul other than brand. The competitors are significantly cheaper and more customizable(i guess). I believe much like gopro, juul going to tank at some point. They are very overvalued here.
My understanding is that a city boundary in the US is a big deal. The police force on either side can be completely different, things that can get you in a lot of trouble like gun laws can be different on either side, prices and taxes can be very different.

In the UK a city boundary doesn't really mean anything. There might be a nice 'Welcome to X' sign but nothing really changes as it would in the US. I'm not even sure there is a legal boundary for cities here? There is for parliamentary constituencies and for local government areas, but not for cities unless they happen to overlap, that I know of.

So city boundaries in the UK don't really matter so aren't rigid, where in the US they are important and so rigid and so carefully designed.
Also, it's likely a lot of the trends easily incorporated into a computer model (price movements, demographic changes, transport changes, retail outlet changes etc) significantly lag the policy decisions that make them possible. So if you want to profit from real estate price growth in a city, I'd imagine human understanding of why an area might gentrify in future outperforms machine understanding of indicators the area is starting to gentrify. Still, the long time to close a deal also means real estate markets are far from efficient, so there's likely to still be profit to be made with a machine telling you where to look, especially if you do the rest of your research properly.

> Do I just have to go heads first and it will all just "fit in place"? I will finally become a good and confident programmer one day?

You have to build things without tutorials for this. Just take something and then build it without a tutorial. For example, you can build space invaders. How would you build that without a tutorial? Here would be my process:

1. Space invaders has graphics, do you know how to do graphics in your environment of choice? If not look up documentation for some draw API and try to draw things moving around.

2. Space invaders has images, look up documentation how to load images and implement. Make sure that you can draw the images and move them around like in 1.

3. Games need user input, look up documentation for how to listen for keystrokes, make the things that move around from earlier controllable.

4. The rest of the game is just implement some boring logic like tracking score, tracking aliens, checking collisions, killing the player, winning etc. This is fairly straightforward to implement.

This was just an example, you can do most things in similar ways. Like building a forum, building a text editor, building a web server, building an interpreter/compiler etc.
That's not what GP is complaining about - rather, the issue is that the article misrepresents what literate programming is, and makes it sound like nobody writes code for humans to read these days, which is obviously false.

I find the "learn to debug" chapter refreshing. I've seen a lot of new hires on web development area who simply don't interactively debug anything, sometimes even don't log, just because "printing" is enough. IMO we need more bootcamps on fundamentals.
Yes, but as you said in your last paragraph, the main issue is that the sentence is very misleading. I don't know if the author knew what they were talking about, but taken at face value, it does sound very wrong.

Since setting up a business in 2016, I needed to better understand how to build a business:

Principles by Ray Dalio - I found this really motivating to ensure our business sticks to and has a set of principles that evolve based on mistakes made (sounds obvious).

Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz - I loved listening to this (audible) because being a CEO can be lonely and hearing other peoples thoughts and advice based on their experience (that you can relate to) is really uplifting.

2018 has been a great year for us and I do think these books have helped me get through the roller coaster that is building a technology startup.

Psychology and Space by Yuri Gagarin and Vladimir Lebedev (a Soviet psychologist)[0]

It's an old book (I just read it in 2018, if that counts), but I guess its content about astronomers' training is very relevant to this day. Still, I'd like to read more up-to-date -e.g reflecting on the astronomers' experiences who had lived on the International Space Station- counterpart of this book.

ML inference is not magic: by and large, it's just a combination of simple operations like matrix multiplications/dot products, element-wise nonlinearities, convolutions and other stuff that vector processors, GPUs and increasingly CPUs (thanks to SIMD) are very well optimized for. (In theory one could optimize a chip for some specific, well-defined ML architecture, even to the point of "wiring" the architecture in hardware, and people used to do such things back in the 1980s when this was needed in order to even experiment with e.g. neural network models. But given how fast ML is progressing these days, there's just no reason for doing anything like that nowadays!)
> The county is home to 88 incorporated cities, ranging in population from 76 (Vernon) to 3.9m (Los Angeles itself). Beverly Hills (population 34,506) is its own city, with its own police force, fire department and school district. So is Santa Monica (92,495). Even Vernon has a police department, with some 50-odd staff.

Am I misreading this? How/why does a city of 76 have a police dept with 50 people?
Why are they improving civilian accuracy and will military still have more accurate fixes, or just less jammable signals?

It’s not duty, it’s voting with your page views.
It depends a lot I think. London's an interesting case, because depending on what part of London you're in you're dealing with a totally different police force - in the City of London, there's the City of London police but this only covers the square mile. Most of London is policed by the Metropolitan Police.

Administratively, the City of London and everything else in London it's totally separate. The City has The Lord Mayor of London, the rest has Sadiq Khan. Most of London has boroughs and councilors. The City has a bizarre system where so-called Aldermen are elected by guilds from businesses local to the area, along with an amount of councillors representing the local population.

Councils do have the ability to set policy for how certain laws are enforced and have some powers to create bye-laws although I'm struggling to remember the specific pieces of legislation which are relevant to this at the moment.

The answer is simple: Theyre weirdly shaped because transportation systems are not privatised. This forces businesses to accomodate to older routes and geographical layouts, making cities not only weirdly shaped but also monotonous in progress and boring.

A good developer starts out by planning, not coding.

When you have a good plan, the next step is usually obvious.

Also, you only learn by doing, and luck favors the active.

Learn the very minimum by tutorials, make up a project and go - learn as you need...

That is my go-to plan (and I have been working as a developer for 20+ years)
Nice work on this. I wish more databases used the Redis protocol as it would simplify the numerous different interfaces out there. There are so many key/value systems out there yet many that aren't very usable outside of specific embedded use-cases.
The easy way to control for this is to run the same measurements with a spent cartridge chambered.
First you need to find out on who to apply the $5 wrench. That's a lot easier if you can monitor all communication.

The national security laws prevent chips from working if you're above a certain height and over a certain speed. Although most chips implement an "or" instead of an "and".

As for military receivers, apparently they are unclassified but plug into a separate system that works like a TPM and provides the decryption keys, which have to be refreshed at least once a year.

It's simply named only for the analogy with the Copenhagen Interpretation -- everything is in a 'superposition' (all options possible) until a single 'observation' is made, which causes a reduction in the available possibilities, which propagates across the space/structure. That's as far as the analogy goes.

This sort of loose analogy is a perfectly reasonable way to name things IMHO.

I don't hear anyone complaining that bubble sort doesn't consider buoyancy and surface tension, or that the flood fill algorithm doesn't involve any actual fuid dynamics.

I have my own theory on why people like to complain about this particular analogy, but for the sake of not causing offence I will leave it there ;p

The Pin<> type constructor is being standardized to support this case. This is not so much "custom move semantics" as a lack of in-built "move" semantics of any sorts, but the basic use case is being worked on.

I believe this to be one of the fundamental questions that will charaterize this new century: How is humankind going to cope with so much of humankind? How to deal with "someone's wrong on the internet"?

There seem to be these possible answers: a) Everyone agrees to one narrative and moral standard. b) Everyone sticks to their little bit of the world and guards it with walls c) Live and let live and do not feed the trolls, cause haters will hate. So be it.

Any one of a) or b) put to extremes wouldn't make a nice world to live in.

It would either come with a global harmonization effort that will feel opressive. (This is what you are feeling in this instance)

Or it would be a world comprised of iron curtains. With whatever harmonization and opression going on within each region.

In any way, c) seems to me the most favorable outcome. But I have no idea how to get there since a) and b) appear to be the popular choices nowadays.
Bizarre. It has 10k stars and 500 issues so it's clearly got some popularity. But I can't find much at all about what the features are.

Did you read the article? In fact it claims that part of the reason for the lack of good public transport in the US is due to the extreme fragmentation present in some counties. Cooperation between neighboring cities is lacking, making planning and securing sensible infrastructure projects a much harder task compared to a ‘monolithic’ city.
I love the work of Mike Bostock and the team behind ObservableHQ.

This article seems to be both an explanation of how to massage MNIST dataset for use with TensorFlow.js, and a showcase of capabilities of Observable Notebooks. Of note are CORS requests, Disposable API, and implementation and use of async generators. Personally, I'm more interested in the latter, as recently I found myself doing a lot more of R&D than development, and ended up using Observable Notebooks to quickly build interactive prototypes of various feature concepts my team explored.

Looking from the angle of Bret Victor's "model-driven debate"[0], Observable seems to be nearly there as a tool. Almost all the components are built-in, what's missing is IMO some easier way to create "twiddlable" inputs. But I'm sure someone's going to make a lib for it eventually.
