No way you'd get research money for this, but an amateur can sit and poke away at it.

These are all unsolved: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems_in_m..., and plenty look like they may be solvable without advanced math, just someone dedicated and a unique approach.

Particularly the Collatz Conjecture, afaik basically zero progress has been made on it, no "advanced" math topics are known to apply at all. So perhaps a unique angle is all you need. (Or maybe it's false, in which case all you need is a counterexample. Sometimes it happens, see e.g. https://www.ams.org/journals/mcom/1988-51-184/S0025-5718-198...)
there is some truth to it though, because even as a CEO, actually, especially as a CEO you need to make sure you have time for your family. or more importantly, you need to make sure you don't burn out. OPs question suggests that he is getting exhausted with his current schedule. that is the road that leads to burn out, and if i were an investor or an employee in his company i would tell him to slow down, because the company needs him in the long run.
Walking desk seems like a terrible idea (how could you type, or read, when in motion plus distracted by trying to keep your balance).

Under desk cycles/bike, elliptical and other such devices are readily available (just search for those terms). You use them when sitting (presumably reading...not sure I could concentrate on writing code while doing that). I have a couple of friends who swear by them and indeed they are both svelte. One I know used to be over 300 lbs and this was one of her tools.
What people forget is how useful energy is, because we all take it for granted. There is 0 downside to infinite clean energy, as long as it's not weaponized, obviously. Don't let the climate change alarmists trick you into thinking human technological progress needs to be constrained.
People are having a strong reaction to what you're saying because you're fundamentally presuming a car-centric infrastructure where others have to accommodate cars.

Bikes are vehicles and have as much of a right to be on the road as cars do. It is car drivers' and regulators' responsibility to make cars avoid colliding with bikes, not vice versa. There are plenty of collisions between cars and big rigs on freeways, yet we don't ban cars from going on freeways, instead we insist on more stringent safety standards for big rigs.

> Let's first acknowledge that between mixed traffic (whatever the mix may be) collisions will happen, and then discuss how to minimize harm.

Sure. It's best to separate the traffic. Either build bike paths, or (if that's not an option) take lanes away from cars and make them into bike lanes (protected by curbs and bulbouts).

I agree with you. Strictly comparing IOS to android, I would say IOS is more secure. Apple is in a position where they are incentivized to give you a secure and private product. They make money off of hardware sales, not ads (They are trying to increase their revenue from services though). They are incentivized to do as much processing on your phone as they can, because it saves server costs. Examples of this would be the facial matching in the camera app (IOS done on phone, android done at Google) and TTS of voicemail (only sent to Apple if you tell it to).

There are still dangers though. Apple still has control of your phone through things like updates and the ability to place in a backdoor if they are legally forced to. As far as I know, they have a good reputation though (see San Bernardino iPhone case).

Agreed. Webpack's configuration is so daunting that, well, this is so obviously needed.
Source? Sounds like you're pulling that number out of thin air.

Isn't it reasonable to assume that FB/Google will do a cost analysis of mono/poly repo approaches and pick the one that is the most cost effective? At that scale they have absolutely no room for dogma; it's all about costs.

Is there a sort of "axiomatic high school maths" course, that builds up from the basics without handwaving? i.e. that covers the actual reasons and proofs for things, not just the mechanics/tricks/techniques. The way geometry is taught.

Some might be beyond high school level, like fundamental theorems of arithmetic (unique prime factorization) and algebra (polynomial factors/zeros). There's also non-integer exponents, defining reals etc.

All this stuff is used in High School but must be taken on faith. Good for believers, bad for skeptics.

Or is this just Mathematics 101? [my engineering maths didn't cover it]
Sorry, I don't know of one. You could start with the Wikipedia description at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanczos_resampling but that is nowhere near enough detail to do an actual implementation. You might try searching for a Lanczos-2 or Lanczos-3 implementation.

I wrote my first image resizer in 1986, so I've been immersed in this for a long time. I'm considering writing a blog post to go into the finer points, but my blog is kind of empty right now and has been for a long time - don't get your hopes up.

Also, they are technical. They know networking. You can use the right words, and they will understand. It is a nice change compared to other companies.

In my experience I find that hard to believe, and if true, those rescues are doing a poor job. Everyone that works in animal rescue knows which animals are at high risk of being euthanized, and always prioritize pulling those animals.

Regarding adoption, rescues are more invested in what homes their animals go to because they often are making a promise to take back any animals they take resposibility for. They don’t want animals to go back to the shelter, so any sign of potential issue will get an adoption canceled. Are there false positives? Of course. But a lot of animals going to good homes that would otherwise be killed.

It was the same thing in the movie. Immediately after that exchange, Rachel explains how she turned down Nick because it would mean cutting him off from his family, at which point Eleanor berates her for turning down a winning hand. For as much as Eleanor talks about the importance of suborning happiness for things that last, Eleanor is just as quick as she accuses the Americans of being of pandering to happiness.
Specifically for exercise, I think there's a viscous cycle where once you become unhealthy, it becomes much harder to exercise. So, it's unclear which direction the causation runs. How can you remove this self-selection bias and prove the direction of the causal relationship without paying healthy people to not exercise?
You still have to validate all the blocks made at the same time by others, don't you? And that's gonna be hard on IO.

My claim wasn't about trade being good or bad, rather, if an entity working out of self-interest is a good or bad actor.

I'm also not entirely sure the ends justify the means when it comes to threatening war. Having the power to write the constitutions of other countries costs the US economy a pretty penny.
> I agree with the commenters saying that Germany should have prioritized coal for retirement before nuclear.

Coal (actually lignite) is a major part of Germany's plan. I don't expect them to abandon it anytime soon. Solar and wind power are inherently variable, they can't really work by themselves, they need to be backed by hydro (which is limited), storage (still not viable on a large scale) or easily adjustable power plants.

And that's where coal comes in. Germany is actually building new throttlable coal plants in order to complement their renewables. It is a good economic choice: they have a lot of locally available lignite, and it has little export value, so they might as well use it for themselves. It is also good for national sovereignty because they don't depend on imports. Unfortunately, it is also the worst possible fuel when it comes to CO2 emissions, that's why they fare rather poorly despite all their renversables.

Nuclear has no place in their strategy. With their renewables+coal, they don't really need the base load capabilities nuclear powers. Nuclear plants can be throttled to some extent but in order for them to be economically viable, they need to be as close to 100% as possible due to their high capital costs.
Interesting, thanks! Didn't realize Bazel was open sourced..

Those both look way more in the weeds than what I would have imagined.. I guess for Bazel at least it makes sense given Googles scale how fine-grain they would get into caching and incremental builds..

For my needs a simple tool that would allow discovering "WORKSPACES" and constructing a build graph based on what's changed, while handing off the actual building to some entry point in the workspace, would be good enough. Have a weird collection Gradle projects, node projects, test suites, docs, and etc with their own build processes already in place.

Some things are also on a "critical" path while others can run async given the context(branch, tag, etc)...

I'm rambling though.
Many of those Victorians were actually converted into units back in the day and rent control applies. Some are being converted back into single family homes now.

Here's one example. In Darwin's "Origin of Species", a key principle which Darwin talks about at great length is the so-called Knight-Darwin Law, the observation that even in apparently asexual species, sexual reproduction still occasionally occurs, if only after long spans of time. In an article in Acta Biotheoretica, I argued this is in fact an infinite graph-theoretical principle. If G is the directed graph of all organisms, where an edge from x to y means that x is a parent of y, then (Darwin theorizes that) there is no infinite directed path through G all of whose vertices have indegree 1. (A vertex has indegree 1 if it has exactly 1 parent.) The low-hanging fruit (some of which I picked in my paper): Investigate the mathematical implications of the above property (esp. if G also has other biologically motivated properties).

The Knight-Darwin law seems to have vanished completely from the literature around the start of the 20th century, until I cited it. Almost as if no-one has actually been reading Darwin in all that time.

To generalize: If you want to find low-hanging fruit, read non-fiction classics like Darwin and constantly be asking, "Is this some unrecognized mathematics in disguise?"

> The picture he paints of the Times is that they've become much more resilient to political pressure as a result of his ordeal

Not really though. One has to look at the articles and values espoused by the newspaper and not an individual's assertions to determine where the newspaper stands. A news paper that espoused the establishment's line of Saddam Hussien possessing weapons of mass destruction which factually was wrong cannot claim to be resilient to political pressure. Look at its coverage on plethora of issues from labour movements, civil rights, Cuban missile crisis, interventions in South America, financing of Contras , coverage of China, and middle east. It has always supported and validated the establishment's position even though now we know that the establishment was wrong in every single of this.
Actually, in the case of New Horizons, it is. Mission navigators use LORRI images of known objects relative to the background stars to calibrate their position.

> We let people drive because we know that they are fully capable agents able to make decisions even in case of failure. In other words, they are responsible, reliable, fully cognisant individuals, far beyond the technical ability of operating a machine.

I wish I could share your optimism in humanity, but what you just claimed sounds far from being true universally.

Take your typical driver and throw in a failure situation they have never trained before (because, who has time to train them for every possible, or evens few likely failures), and it is not likely to end well.
A pillars don't create much of a problem; you're pretty much always going to be aware of objects 45 degrees to the left or right of your heading. fat B and C pillars are far more problematic.

that said, there are plenty of affordable cars with great visibility (e.g., a vw golf). if you pick a car with bad visibility, it's kinda on you.
Your point about agency is well made.

It's worth noting the downsides to this agency too, though: Agency is what makes the stereotypical male 20yo driver speed and drive dangerously to show off to his friends, which leads to a very large number of accidents.

It's unclear what accidents this agency avoids though. I can imagine a few situations where it helps (avoiding a terrorist attack by speeding away from the scene?). But in most cases the default operation for a self-driving car will be to stop as quickly and safely as possible in unusual circumstances, and it's unclear how often this is the wrong decision.

A few things to note:

- I was replying to a comment, not the article.

- The article spoke about points that were largely independent of the current or future state of tooling. Instead, it focused on fundamental issues with mono- vs poly-repo systems. Most directly, being forced to fix migrations and incompatibilities immediately rather than letting versions skew.

If you want to batter someone for not arguing for or against the points in the article, you can do it with the comment I was replying to, or with your own comment just now.
What if I point a gun at someone and shoot them? As usual, the only thing that keeps you alive is that there are no motivated individuals that want to kill you. If there are, then they don't need you to drive a self-driving car.
> Is your claim that good trade is not possible? I think in the 150 years since your examples there have been many positive examples of trade beneficial to both parties, and hardly any that are harmful, though there should be a handful.

More like 70 years. It was only around WWII that the US kicked the theme of trade-or-death running its foreign policy. The early 20th century has several wars you don't read about in history books where the US basically sends in the marines to topple a government that's antagonizing US commercial interests.
Observe how the verb "force" gets used 6 times. Monorepos "force the conversation." You the individual contributor are "forced to deal with the situation" and "forced to see the upfront cost" of breaking contracts. Your team is forced to "look up from their component, and see the perspectives of other teams and consumers."

All this forcing people to do things the Right Way (my way) is surely part of the pushback against monorepos.

But set that aside for the moment. Let's suppose defaults should force people to do things the Right Way, and that we also know what the Right Way is.

Instead of letting anyone sloppily depend on any code checked into the monorepo, shouldn't we force people to think long and hard about contracts between components -- the default concern in a polyrepo architecture? When and how to make contracts, when and how to break contracts? Isn't this how Amazon moved past their monorepo woes, adopted SOA, built AWS, and became one of the largest companies on earth? Heck, isn't this how the Internet itself was built?
I paid $849 for an iPhone 6s 128GB in 2015. Not only is it still getting OS updates over 3 years later, according to benchmarks, it is faster than any Android Phone in single core performance that was released in 2018 - including the flagship Galaxy S9.

Since the 2013 iPhone 5s is still getting updates, I suspect that the 6s will still get updates at least through 2020.

But right now, you can get an iPhone 7 for $449. Again, if history is any guide, it should get OS updates through 2021.
I'm not sure how that would work - say you get Do you want to remain? -> no; Do you accept the negotiated deal? -> no. Does that mean we should leave without a deal, OR does it mean we should negotiate for a different deal? Likewise, Do you want to remain -> yes; Do you accept the negotiated deal? -> yes - does that mean we should remain OR that we should accept the deal (you can't do both). You could _want_ to remain, but also find the negotiated deal acceptable. I don't think it gives a clear answer.

This wasn't written for a technical audience (or they wouldn't have had to explain what each band was), "everyone" knows what AM and FM radio are, and few know (or care) that they are modulation modes.

Medium Wave and Long Wave bands are not "quaint". Those are the international designations for those particular wave bands.

Why can't they be both "quaint" and international designations?

The wikipedia description of a "preselector" sounds close to what they described:

A preselector typically is tuned to have a narrow bandwidth, centered on the receiver’s operating frequency. The preselector passes through the signal on the frequency it is tuned to unchanged, or only slightly diminished, but it reduces or removes off-frequency signals, cutting down or eliminating unwanted interference. However, a preselector does not remove interference on the same frequency that it and the receiver are both tuned to.

"Hams on various Internet message boards argue about the relative technical merits"...No they don't. This is not a specialised Ham Receiver. It was specifically designed for Short-Wave Listeners.

Are you sure they don't? Are you claiming that there's no overlap between hams and shortwave listeners? Here's one:

Several of the commenters have their ham call-sign as their userid. So if there's just one more message board where hams discuss the unit, this statement can be marked true.
