Is this author also the designer of the board? Or do they made they're working on making the software available?

This looks really exciting, looking forward to following the progress.
This looks really cool. I remember in the early 2000s I wanted a tool to take the low quality real video versions of Family Guy cartoon that we all watched, and convert them to shiny vector-based flash. Glad to see tools exist to extract shapes from pixelation now.

There's a couple opinions I have on this.

The first is if you really want to pursue this ideal, you can look for arbitrage opportunities. This means spending a lot of time taking multiple opportunities and selecting the ones that have the least amount of effort to reward, and doing this many times over your lifetime.

The second (and this is an opinion that you may not like) is that optimizing for no responsibilities is something you should reconsider as the goal in life.

From my experience, taking on responsibilities is a key character trait of people who can create strong communities, build organizations, care for others, and develop their environment around them. Taking responsibility is also not an innate talent, but one that you learn... by taking responsibility.

A life of avoiding responsibility closes off some paths that are really interesting to take, especially as you mature and people aren't always getting on your nerves so much. First is that responsible people receive a lot of resources in the form of trust, money, loyalty, etc, because others know they can handle these resources responsibly. Second is that the attitude and drive to positively affect the world around you is developed alongside responsibility, and separating the two, while doable, is much more challenging. Third is that the alternative to escaping responsibility is building up your skill in handling responsibility, which is very doable (in 2 areas, mainly - delivering on the things expected of you, and managing what is expected of you). If you resolve to have such an attitude, 5-6 years down the road you'll be equipped to take on larger than life challenges you never dreamed you could handle.

The essence of building something is taking responsibility, and this applies to your side projects as well if you want your side projects to be used by the rest of the world. Handling pressure is a skill that you have the pay the price to learn but is very much worth it.

Just my 2c. Had a friend whose whole family was introverts and wanted to run away from society. The grandfather was very lonely at the end of his life because of his decision to go hermit, it made my friend realize that he didn't want that to be his end.

My own youth was a life of no pressure/no responsibility just finding ways to make myself feel happy. I consider them my zombie days - not really alive, just trying to fill base needs. Nowadays I have too much responsibility, but the stress and difficulty are offset by the rewards in so many ways beyond just feeling happy - you have real control to make your life the way you want it, and you develop more and more capability over time.
Maybe jammygit is on the other side of that bet... :)
I don't think that's fair. I thought the discussion of AVL trees was quite readable. The code is basic and straightforward, and that's what you want for something like that. It's about the algorithms, not about being pythonic -- it's about fundamentals. For that, this seems good to me (though I'll admit I haven't read a lot of it yet.)
I mostly agree, if the DDoS is just more real visitors. But it's a whole other problem when the attacker is using amplification or a botnet. Then it's more the equivalent of stealing a bunch of people's trucks and then driving them into the store to stop business.
And here's a sample. I took a 256x256 image (https://c-sf.smule.com/sf/s78/arr/65/98/f10d1e00-e955-4e4b-a...) where you can see the jpg artifacts, and ran it through.

Pretty good, imo!
> Does one directly affect the other?

Thought experiments:

1. Bazooka-like barrel open on both ends with identical bullets shooting out each end. I would say that each bullet got approximately half the energy.

2. Fixed barrel, hard mounted, no recoil movement. Bullet should get about double the energy of (1). If you imagine the expanding gas between the bullets of (1) but then change it to operate in half the volume (split down the middle), the pressure would be double but not quite since combustion rates may differ.

3. Barrel with very long throw, very low spring force. Bullet gets most of energy, peak recoil force is low.

But always true:

- Newton's third law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

- Conservation of momentum: p = m v
considering impulses: F t = m = p / v, p = F t / m
The major problem with that defense is that sit-ins aren’t legal. There is no general right to occupy private property to make a political point.

You may think that’s what was going in the 60s lunch counter sit-ins, but the question there was the legality of racial discrimination in privately owned restaurants. The court never ruled on the exact issue, made moot by the Civil Rights Act. But there was never any suggestion that sitting-in somewhere where you had no right to be was legal.
I dunno, I stepped out of the office at 5:45pm to head home and got drenched. 4 seasons in 1 day and all that.
Funny how wanting to keep your personal correspondence private is now being conflated with “above the law”.

The concrete bunker thing is a ridiculous diversion. Why are you even bringing that up?

I understand that privacy is a difficult problem especially when subject to legislation but bunkers have nothing to do with it. You will obviously provide user information to government on request, you and your staff maintain the ability to access user information at all times, and you have some procedures in place to try and make sure none of this is misused.

That’s ok.

I know this isn't what you're asking for. But I think it's closer to what you need.
Never a good week for America when we have this fool as "president".
I spent more time reading the threads than I should have, it's strangely addicting. I now feel naive for thinking that the people working at the big tech companies have a certain base level of "all-round" skills. In no way I expected so much cynicism, narcism and lack of empathy! Isn't this showing up in interviews? Or should it just be seen as online trolling and venting?
your attitude is really nice and I wish more people who chose a specific diet voluntarily would behave this way. I've seen toxic behavior in my own family where a certain relative just does it for the attention. Makes me wonder why militant-(gluten|veganism|<insert other>) have to form groups, and then attract people with certain insecurities. I have no objections to such life-choices as long as the motive isn't to convert others. It feels more like a religion.

When relatives complain, I eat cows and remind me how bad it is for the environment I usually point out that I don't drive, never buy anything wrapped in plastic, source my groceries from the local wet-market (which I can walk to) and never eat meat more than once a weak. And when I do I know where it comes from, and how it was raised. When I cook it it's almost like a celebration of the life the animal had. I often spend the whole evening before planning how to prepare it and don't plan much other activities that day because getting it perfect (and better than last time) is my own personal fetish.

This year I worked with a guy who was actually Celiac and at first didn't know what that was. I thought "oh my not another one of those" ... Getting to know him better I found out what that entails and omg - this is one horrid condition to live with. It must be insulting to anyone who actually suffers from this seeing all these wannabe gluten intolerant pretenders. It ridicules those really suffering from the condition and makes them a laughing stock at their expense. A bit like those parents who seem hellbent on proving their child is somewhere on the Autistic spectrum - just to get a special treatment for their (very normal) kids (who simply need to get off the screen, spend more time outside in nature to drain their energy).

I teach coding on the side, and one of my interview tips for students is to practice saying "I don't know". Make it almost muscle memory so it doesnt throw you, because rare is the interview that wont try to find your boundary, and rare is the person that feels comfortable saying "I don't know" in an interview.

Sure, try to work in something you do know, or try to show interest in learning, but mostly just be comfortable. Confidence will be taken as skill, anxiety will drag down your display of strengths, and many companies are looking for someone that will be self driven enough to not need hand holding but will also be upfront about problems rather than committing then ultimately failing with little time left to correct.

I normally smile, nod, and ignore when someone tells me to practice a social skill out loud (that may be regrettably obvious in person), and I have long experience as a class clown so interviews arent very bothersome, but in this I say practice really does make a difference since the goal is not to establish what you can do but instead to make it boring and routine.

Amazon Reveals Private Voice Data Files [pdf]
I never got into voice control. For two reason. If you have a job that does day to day coding, office or paper work and voice are less used, may be speaking a few command doesn't feel that much. If your day to day job is managing dozen of people which involves lots of listening arguing and speaking as well as selling your idea. The last thing I want to do at the end of the day is to speak again to get what I want. I can use the phone and press a few button, it might take a little longer. But it feels much BETTER.

The second is command. I don't want to put Siri in front of every sentences. It is unnatural. If I have a maid, that is not how the conversation would go if I need to get something done. The amount of work ( turning something on or off, or text, or music ) is relatively small compared to the amount of commands I have to give. Or in other words, Giving a command to Siri, ( 4 - 6 words ) is more troublesome than pressing 3 - 4 buttons.
ex-Yahoo here. I left before the Verizon acquisition completed. I still have a bunch of friends who chat about these things. Yahoo never really had many home grown core products except yahoo.com, finance, sports & news. All other Yahoo properties were through acquisitions and Yahoo did a fairly poor job of integrating them. I believe only a handful of old acquisitions were properly integrated. Regardless there was massive overlap in tech that we had and the subsequent acquisitions under Marissa. Most acquisitions barring a couple had poor tech and business numbers and we were surprised at their huge evaluations. Coupled with massive cultural differences and turf wars, things were not going anywhere. I believe this situation exacerbated when Verizon acquired Yahoo and tried merging AOL with it leading to further overlap. It is fun to see how management thought they could beat Google, FB and Amazon with this strategy. The funnier (possibly sadder) thing was Yahoo always had more data on users than all of the acquisitions put together and then some thanks to Mail, Finance, Sports, News and Frontpage. We did not need their tech or their people or their customers. If only management would've gotten their shit together we probably would've been a decent player in the market. However, the leadership did not think Yahoo's tech was capable and the only solution was to acquire tech and talent. They were mistaken. Management was always chasing after the market leaders and never really wanted to differentiate Yahoo for instance we never talked about having privacy focused premium experiences for our users or ad-tech that preserves privacy at the same time helps advertisers reach the correct audience. This would've given users a reason to use Yahoo products and pay for them. Management never focused on building quality products. Barring Finance and Sports all other sites had issues with data quality. Yahoo News was wrecked. It used to be the source of trusted (aka non-fake news). Management never valued it. Imagine if they would've grown it and kept the brand reputation. Today, Facebook, Google are in hot water. Yahoo would've been a hero. Advertisers would've flocked to advertise on Yahoo because users trusted them and they had integrity (advertisers never want to be associated with shitty, bad content. It rubs off the wrong way on their brand identity and product reputation). All lost opportunities. Sigh.
From a usability standpoint, all the advantage of LL is on the hoster's side. For the end-user the latency is practically never adequate to prevent a frustrating experience. I use whatever GM scripts or other hacks I can find to just load the damned page, if such workarounds exist.

Recently eBay moved to LL in most of its searches, but this can be obviated by re-searching from the Advanced link, for instance.

That is funny. I had a kind of opposite experience, when I was struggling with a bad reaction to gluten. My wife and I went to a burger joint in Utah called "Mooyah" where I ordered a burger on a gluten-free bun. As soon as those words left my mouth, the cashier asked, "allergy or preference?"

Stunned and wondering if I was being criticized, I said "allergy" only to learn that if you say that, they have to clean all possible traces of gluten off of their equipment before they make your burger.

"Allergy!" Then the action started. As I watched two employees vigorously wipe down all this stuff just to make one burger, I felt alternately shocked, amazed, well-served, and embarrassed. Others in the restaurant looked at me like I was from another planet.

Anyway, that was one of the best gluten-free buns I've ever tasted.
I'm not trying to be dismissive and don't know much about these colleges but...

Couldn't the description "organizations rooted in sociopolitical elitism (with an attendant history of discrimination)" be applied to elite universities or the "ivy league" generally? Exclusivity, a taste of the old upper class traditions, a bit of mystique..
One of the issues I found is that Docker and WMWare on Windows are incompatible. Dockers enables Hyper-V, which in turn prevents WMware from running.

"We don't place ourselves above the law" - AKA we don't believe we are better placed than a judge to know whether sufficient evidence has been presented to allow law enforcement access to data about a user of our platform.

Unless you're starting from a premise that bad actors don't exist, and the police never do anything of value, there needs to be a facility by which police perform the role we expect of them in a civilised society, which includes following chains of evidence and requesting assistance of third parties they find along the way. The warrant system is a check against abuse of that process, not a repudiation of the idea that police also have a job to do.
That's amazingly considerate.

> IMHO F# has the potential to be WAY more friendly for prototyping and more. It's all a matter of the libs.

Yeah, I've been dropping down to Visual Studio's F# console regularly to test things in a REPL-like environment.

Nowhere near the convenience of IPython though - I haven't come across anything way to import assemblies other than "#r /some/path/to/assembly.dll", which requires me to manually navigate through my project directories to find the correct folder/assembly. A notebook environment inside VS would be fantastic, too - rather than having a single line terminal-style input.
Effectively collecting micro-plastics (the real problem) will likely require new technology that provides an attractive field that resonates with plastics. Plastics are complex hydrocarbons (oils) so you would need to provide some sort of magnetic effect that energizes and attracts the hydrocarbons to a central point. This would be something that is chemically non-polar on both ends of a chemical chain, emits a high resonance electro-static field, and something that repels polar chemicals and anything with a covalent bonding. Essentially, it would be a static electricity anti-soap fixed to a point.
Sorry, I edited my comment a lot.

I guess if a judge wants they should be able to watch you poo, pity we don’t have mandatory poo cams yet.

The judge should according to the laws be able to hear what you say to your wife at night.

Just that technology hasn’t caught up with what the law dictates yet.

Do you mind telling me your age? I can definitely say you're not the first person to say that. Early on I got that from a handful of people, along with a few others asking what kind of information they'd have to share, and from there I decided to anonymize it based on HIPAA's Methods for De-identification.

It is your business and responsibility. I agree with you, but I just wish everyone else felt the same way and acted as though they did. But the number's tell a different story.

With that said, you can drive down the highway at 65 with your seatbelt on following all the rules. But if everyone else feels like driving against traffic then you're still at risk. And Im not saying to act reckless because everyone else is. Im saying to turn on your radio to listen to the traffic alerts.

My question for you is, are you dead set on your stance or is there something that could change your mind? Some of the people that were opposed at first didn't want to share their identities while others felt they owed it to their partners to call them. The reason I ask is because you gave an exception.

How can a coal company possibly expose anyone to Polonium, half-life of 138 days and not produced by any chemical process?
As long as there are no consequences, this will continue.
1. Hacked firms should be investigated for neglience. If opening a doc file can bonk the entire system, somewhere best practices were not followed.

2. The judicative should viciously go after the largest hostile actor, including state actors, they can get a hold of.

3. And lastly, politics should go after China. Every week there is a new story how China stole IP, hacked something or showed hostile behavior
Compared with their rethoric and genocidial tendencies, it should become clear to every state that China is not an ally to anyone but the CCP, and no Chinese firm is at the end not owned by the CCP.
The harshest consequences that are reasonable are approrpriate at this point, or Chinas behavior will just get worse
Appeasement does not work anymore.

”collecting micro-plastics (the real problem)”

The real problem is getting them out of the water. I expect the solution to that will not be collecting them, but breaking them down faster. It wouldn’t surprise me if micro-organisms beat us to solving that problem, in particular for pure hydro-carbons.

For some reason Apple is extremely stringent with their Servers / Cloud Investment. They were late to building their DC, late to owning their CDN ( despite being huge in volume )
Basically Tim Cook has a model that they should not own any "asset". the Asset Light Strategy. Compared to Google which is beating any AI , Deep Learning problems with brute force, and optimise later.

Even their Maps are late, 7 years later since the first apology of Apple Maps they still aren't anywhere close to Google Map.
