Your argument is disingenuous because you're comparing apples to oranges.

In Amsterdam, and in all of Holland, riding a bike is simply the first mode of transportation we think of. Wanna go to the supermarket? We just go outside and grab our bikes and we're off, no second thoughts about it. This is exactly like how Americans would just grab their keys and get in their car, no second thoughts about it.

I'm guessing the reason you only see people in road bikes and spandex in the US are 1) confirmation bias because you just don't notice the people who ride the city share bikes or the you dismiss people entirely for being hipsters riding fixies and so on, and 2) because riding a bike isn't a mode of transportation in the US.

#2 is the big thing though. Most Americans I have ever met think that bicycles are primarily for exercising or for leisure, but few will say it's a mode of transportation. In Holland bicycling is the primary mode of transportation.

Also we don’t have helmuts because we’ve grown up in a society where people don’t get angry at you for riding your bike. Where people don’t run you off the road for laughs. Where people won’t speed off and disappear if they crash into you. Where people have been trained to pay attention to bicyclists from the moment they can walk outdoors.

A friend recently came to visit me here in Holland. She’s German, so you might assume that she’s used to bicyclists because she’s European or whatever. That assumption would be wrong because I had to grab her by her arms so many times to get her to stop walking because she just was not raised in a culture where you pay attention to bicyclists. Had I not grabbed her arms to stop her all those times she would have stepped out onto a bicycle path and gotten run over. This is the difference between bicycling in Holland and the world, and it makes no sense to compare Seattle and Amsterdam like you are.

That’s a horrible argument in my opinion. Yes, it is more convenient from a developer’s or a business point of view. But what if the user sees more value in an app than a website, shouldn’t that be the first thing to consider?
I don't have that one so I can't compare. I certainly won't claim to have seen the worst, I can only relate a general observation that things aren't getting better.
I've only recently been evaluating FoundationDB for an upcoming project and have not yet gotten into the video roundup, so please forgive..

Is anyone using FoundationDB as a graphdb akin to Neo4j?

It seems to me Document Layers could be used to create virtual property edges from the underlying KV store?

Any thoughts/plans on how Foundation could be used as a graph in general?

Thanks!

What changed that I was unaware of? As far as I know, it still makes traffic flow much more efficient in most situations.

Also, at least where I live, the walk light wouldn't be on at the same time as someone turning right on red that would be going into my path.

Thanks, but I don't think so. On one hand, feature spaces in machine learning are usually not conceptual vector spaces (e.g. in a tall/short classification, it doesn't make sense to add two "tall"s together or multiply a "tall" by a scalar). In general, features have different data types: some booleans, some integers, some real numbers. We only lump them together, cast them into a homogeneous data type and store them in a multidimensional array solely for interpolation purpose.

On the other hand, since you come from a math background, I suppose you know the concept of "free vector space" (which is usually introduced along with the universal mapping property of tensor product). As said in a previous comment, technically every object can be viewed as a vector, and hence a tensor. A duck is a tensor, a bird that quacks like a duck is a tensor, a Java SimpleBeanFactoryAwareAspectInstanceFactory is a tensor, a Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon is a tensor, a red-black tree is a tensor. But we don't call them tensors, because normally we don't do anything tensorial to them.

Then why shall we treat multidimensional arrays differently? Apart from the mere fact that a tensor in physics/mathematics can be stored numerically as a multidimensional array, my impression is that (please correct me if I'm wrong) the coinage of the term in machine learning libraries is a complete disregard for the original physical or mathematical concept. Is "multidimensional array" a name so hard to understand that we need a new name? Does the new name in any way enhance one's understanding of machine learning that the old name cannot? I wonder.

Some people say what did for the SST/Concord/tu144 was sunk cost. I read that BA was running at profit ignoring sunk cost when the fire blew the model apart.

But it was a niche product. So, if boom reoccupied the niche and can leverage the now long amortized sunk costs of supersonic research with some twists to get fuel cost and noise under control.. maybe they can be profitable.

>What is the likelihood of being a target of this? Are there people out there that you expect might want to mail you an unexpected package or stalk you at your home?

As we see in the instances of so-called "revenge porn", you don't have to be famous to be the victim of these tactics. It just takes one person who becomes annoyed enough to use some of these tools and then you're left with an expensive and time consuming mess.

Did you have a nasty break-up? Fire someone? Do you have a business rival who would like to see your reputation ruined? Did you leave a comment on a website that just happened to offend the wrong person [1]? The tools to completely ruin your life are becoming easier and cheaper to wield, and the costs of defending against them are only increasing.

Even if the likelihood isn't high, the consequences are severe enough that you should take the risk seriously. Objectively, the likelihood of you getting robbed isn't that high either, but you lock your doors and don't leave valuables sitting out in your car either.

I agree in principle. NT IO is way more elegant than Linux IO, especially when it comes to AIO, and especially AIO to disk files.

I don't agree with your examples though. I think NT has those flaws as well. Accidental handle reuse in NT seems just as easy as fd reuse in Linux. Internally, NT handles have the first two bits cleared, and the rest are an index into a handle table that is allocated sequentially (handles look like 0x4, 0x8, 0xc, 0x10, etc.) When allocating a new handle, NT doesn't strictly reuse the lowest unused value like Linux/Unix, but it seems to prefer to reuse handles rather than expanding the handle table, so handle values are reused often.

And yeah, Linux file descriptions are synchronous by default, but so are NT file objects, and unlike Linux, an NT file object that was opened in synchronous mode can't be changed to asynchronous mode. This can make it annoying to write programs and libraries that work with arbitrary handles, since even if all your handles are asynchronous, handles created out of your control might not be. stdin, stdout and inherited CRT fds are all synchronous by convention. This combined with the fact that asynchronous handles can act like synchronous handles for various reasons (eg. NTFS compression/encryption, resource contention in the cache manager,) means you have to write asynchronous code with the assumption that every IO operation on a particular handle will always block. I've heard this is why libuv chooses to use synchronous IO with file handles on Windows, even though asynchronous IO is possible.

So we could stand to learn some lessons from NT, but Linux IO isn't "worse in every way." I think an operating system with a good IO/AIO system would have to leapfrog both NT and Linux and aim for something better.
A common and smart design I've noticed here (Canada), is that at moderately busy pedestrian intersections the walk signal will turn on a couple seconds before the traffic light turns green. This means when people first start walking, all directions have a red light, and then it's also much more obvious to traffic that people are crossing because they're already on the street while the cars are still stopped.

I think on some intersections pressing the button will make this delay longer, but it's hard to tell from casual observation. Also, traffic light timings are set by the municipality, so it can vary by city and depending on the age of the intersection.

The most dangerous intersections I find are on the multi-lane suburban arterial roads. Pedestrians are less common (than in neighborhoods or downtown) so drivers generally aren't watching for them as much. You really have to be careful with cars turning right on a red - even if there's a walk signal - because they're looking to their left for traffic to see if it's clear for them to go, and not for people coming the right about to walk in front of them.
I really think you nailed it with this analogy, and I think I can better understand your position and the disagreement. Let me extend this analogy to clarify what I mean then.

If we agree that "alive" simply arises from ever more complicated chemical processes, and that we've specified an arbitrary line somewhere to give the term meaning, then that's fine. But it no longer makes sense to ask questions like "why are we alive?" or "at what point does something go from being just chemistry to being alive?". Because these answers are implicit in the definition itself. Yes, "alive" still has meaning but these questions don't have meaningful answers.

Now in the case of "consciousness", I think that it might be much the same way. I think we've overloaded and conflated the term with different concepts which gives rise to resistance. Let's call the supposed fundamental property "experience" instead, and say that this is what the electron has. Then your "human consciousness" becomes what arises from that "experience" property overlayed onto your body as a chemical system.

And this might seem useless, but I think it's not. The main mystery, which is "how am I here experiencing this?" Is answered by: this "experience", which seems so special to us and we assume we're the only ones that have it, is just the default of everything in the universe, and the subjective part of it is in the systems where the particular experience manifests. So with this view, the question: "what gives me consciousness but not an ant?" Reduces to the same arbitrary distinction like we've said for being "alive": it's just your arbitrary definition of it, and these questions might not have any deeper answers. And I think this perspective is counterintuitive for a lot of people and that's what leads to the intense belief that the questions must have meaningful answers, because we think we're the only stuff in the universe with "experience".

For me, once I get a sense for what goes into that "experience", of being there and feeling like something inside my head, I don't have much mystery in the other stuff. For instance, I'm not concerned about equating "consciousness" to: "I think therefore I am" that's just my "experience" overlayed onto the circuitry of my brain. And I find that I disagree with Descartes. "I am" even if I can't "think", I just wouldn't be able to self-reflect about it, and those are different things.

Oh it sure is, the traffic is crazy after all. But there is no hostile attitude towards each other.

My point is not that traffic rules should be loose -- it is that we're in traffic together and we should relax from time to time, watching out for others.
Spare us the lecture please, the rampant systemic law breaking over the last 50 years by government agencies is a known fact. Keyword: Systemic

We have legal right turns on red here. Cars will look left for a gap, and not notice the pedestrian crossing to their right when the light turns green & walk at the same time. Distracted people might not go until the light turns green (no arrow, so they're supposed to yield), and not notice the pedestrian trying to cross when they got the walk symbol. Compounding matters - several drivers don't stop before the crosswalk like they're supposed to, so people in the rightmost lane go even farther into the crosswalk so they can look left for gaps in traffic - often fast enough they don't have time to react to pedestrians.

Cars turning left on green (but no arrow) often won't notice crossing pedestrians they're supposed to yield to either. They may stop, but now they're blocking oncoming traffic (often hazardous), so they're likely to try and clear the intersection if they feel there's enough room. Of course, they're probably also blocking the visibility of the person tailgaiting them, who will also go through the intersection as a result, enough room or not.

All that turning traffic accounts for 3 of the directions you have to check with a valid walk signal (everything but orthogonal traffic coming from the opposite side of the road) - the 4th comes from people running the tail end of red lights, which happens pretty frequently too. Even ignoring illegally short yellow light timings, people will try to squeeze in. Vroom vroom.
>Also, at least where I live, the walk light wouldn't be on at the same time as someone turning right on red that would be going into my path.

What guarantees this exactly? I'm having a hard time seeing how this is possible.
Seconded on Vue. If you haven't used a frontend JS framework in a while, Vue will still be easy to pick up and learn. I love it. As for backend, Django, Rails, even .net core will do. Whatever you're most comfortable with.
For sure. In another post I compared today's rates for 30Y and 15Y with 15 years of 4% returns and still came out (slightly) ahead. I'm interested in how you determined that the 15 year was more advantageous (did you calculate what your cash flow would have been with a 30Y?) and if it was a big advantage because you perhaps got lucky with market timing and finishing up your mortgage when the market is low (which really isn't something a new mortgager can rely on), or because the interest rates were at parity with the investment returns of that era, which would make it smarter to pay off quickly.
This is because this issue is now tribal and political. In "Critical Mass" bicyclists gather together and block common roads. Very American, but not an effective way to promote anything.

Was there also some other action where mostly ugly fat people drive around naked - the purpose of which now escapes me.

Also in America you can often see fat bicyclists in tights, to reduce wind resistance I presume?

Great questions,
1. yes would be great
2. if possible
3. there are not that many cases to be honest thankfully, the place is not that big
4. not really, this is more of a local thing, i am not from US but imagine if there was a City with people also living in the areas around the city,

sometimes we send doctors to those areas to check on the elderly or even kids, so when i mentioned if the system could distribute in a way or be cloud hosted, it would help with these patients

open source, it would be cheap and as a way of proof of concept, I cant say that we are a 1st world country and the project is also a community effort

this is public health so there is no real need for money making, docs and services are tax paid, but they still suffer from systems in place,

makes tracking patients and previous visits a pain, you dont know alergies or similar things, you need to try and find the records if they have them, sometimes its just on paper :)

hope this helps
