I completely agree that some of the processes are broken. Sometimes it's because of selfish reasons as you noted, but others are people trying to do what's best for the animal.

Rescues are by no means perfect, but we should be careful not to ignore the good they try to accomplish.
The offerings from Mitsubishi and similar ones from other Asian manufacturers like LG and Fujitsu are air source heat pumps. I see no reason why the tech can't be scaled down to fit a car. It's certainly a reasonable goal for auto parts suppliers to aim at.
No, but we also have lots of mechanized equipment now that eliminates most of the danger and speeds up work enormously. There's really no excuse for construction taking as long as it does now.
This is also why federation is a thing. You can have a single "network" with arbitrarily many "services" and not have smaller services destroyed by Metcalfe's law because they're part of the same network.
In one (more romantic) version of the lore, the Mystic Realm awarded Hou Yi (the husband) the Immortal Pill/Potion after he prevented the earth from being scorched. He and Chang'e were going to both take the potion so they can be together forever. A group of bandits heard about the potion, and broke into their home while Hou Yi was away, Chang'e had no choice but to swallow the potion entirely and that gave her divine powers in addition to immortality, she was able to escape and ascend into Heaven, and because she's no longer human, she and Hou Yi were forever separated...
Though I don't have a proof this smells like NP to me. For a set of size |n| the search space is |2^n| and there may be no combination that sums up to the target so naively the all |2^n| combinations have to be checked.

If my intuition that it is in NP is correct, then the most efficient searches will require analysis of the Set and Target to understand the ways in which the are not random, because there is no generally fast algorithm for problems in NP with random data. But again, I could be wrong and the problem could be polynomial.

Once there is actual data, heuristics might make it obvious that there is no solution:

Target == 0
Domain == {1}

Or allow removal of some values. Assuming a O(n log n) sort of the set into an array. O(n log n) is rounding error on O(2^n) or virtually free. Particularly for problems of interesting size.

Target == 3
Domain == {2, 4, 5, 1}

The more we know about the data, the more we can prune the search space:

Target == 118
Domain == {3,6,9,12...}

I still code JS like it's 1999 :P Most new updates are syntax sugar. ES5 added a ton of stuff that are useful, for example binary buffers which is useful for optimization. When people say "modern" JS though, they mean the syntax sugar from ES6 and ES7. I actually prefer the "old school" style. I hate how the language has become more complex, but I guess it's an evil necessary in order to please everyone. If you for example are into functional programming you will love arrow functions. If you never liked async or functional programming you will like async/await. If you like meta programming you can use new tools like Babel to come up with your own syntax sugar. The tooling and ecosystem for JS has really exploded. If you haven't already, take a look at Node.JS.
ChromeOS already has an Android runtime. There's no reason an Android runtime couldn't be portable. There's no reason Android apps could not, if using the APIs appropriately, adapt to all the different devices and other parameters of an Android runtime that's implemented on a variety of OSs.

As long as their apps work, users won't care.
Except without a proofing algorithm your decentralized social network or reddit or video platform doesn't need the proofing algorithms which was the whole innovation of cryptocurrencies and what blockchains are.

Otherwise you just use a torrent network or IPFS as your decentralization store.

I do think there is a lot of potential there, especially with how ipfs-js and webtorrent are getting to where you can have users transparently seeding and reinforcing the network in the browser. Its going to open up a lot of alternatives to big dumb data centers storing exabytes of cat videos.

I don't have references, but my understanding is that the human nose is in general just as sensitive has a dog's. However humans tend to ignore what their nose tells them and so they don't know how to use it as well as the dog's. When a human is trained their become just as good as a dog.
In my metropolitan area being 10 minutes from downtown via bus is much different than being in downtown. Our public transit system is such that going from downtown to any other location serviced by the transit system is easy. But if don’t start from downtown then you first, usually, have to go downtown and then catch the bus to the location you want. This makes using the public transit system a burden for anyone who doesn’t live downtown.
Analysing 1.2M Ethereum contracts in 20 seconds using Eveem and BigQuery
IMHO...I think that there is so much waste in the lead-up work that comes before the programmers get their hands on it that it can be very satisfying to move out into the roles that prevent that waste and help the programmers make more valuable things.
I understand; this has also been a concern for us. However, there's actually very little out there that is actually mature and usable. Bitcoin is not usable for custom applications period. It's nice if you want to trade bitcoin; it doesn't do anything else. Ethereum has enough of a user base that you could argue it is probably OK in terms of security; however as argued it's not really usable in its current form. Everything else is a combination of too young, technically challenged, too small in user base, etc.

Bearing this in mind, we picked Stellar based on the fact that it has actually been around for a while and launched late 2017, is used by several more serious players in the ecosystem (e.g. IBM seems to like it) and a few fin tech companies are building stuff with it. It has a few tokens that seem less about speculative trading and more about solving a real problem (e.g. several stable coins that tend to be relatively stable in value, by design).

If you look at e.g. EOS, the picture is a bit different. It seems to be favored by asian gambling tokens which have pathetic numbers of transactions per day. Also, they launched after we decided to move to Stellar. Tron seems to have similar issues. Then there are a lot of smaller chains that are currently not launched yet e.g. IOTA, hashgraph, that you might see as potentially of interest in the future. After that comes a long tail of solutions that nobody can vouch for right now.

So, we're taking some risks here with Stellar but it seems to be relatively OK for us so far and I haven't really seen anything more suitable for our needs so far. In terms of transactions per second there's way more happening on Stellar than Ethereum is even capable of handling currently. Also, Stellar seem to have distanced themselves a bit from the whole ICO business, which I count as a good thing.
I enjoy Richard Rorty's writings along similar lines, like in his essay "Trotsky and the Wild Orchids":

"I decided to major in philosophy. I figured that if I became a philosopher I might get to the top of Plato's 'divided line' - the place 'beyond hypotheses' where the full sunshine of Truth irradiates the purified soul of the wise and good: an Elysian field dotted with immaterial orchids. It seemed obvious to me that getting to such a place was what everybody with any brains really wanted."

"The more philosophers I read, the clearer it seemed that each of them could carry their views back to first principles which were incompatible with the first principles of their opponents, and that none of them ever got to that fabled place 'beyond hypotheses'."

"When I am asked (as, alas, I often am) what I take contemporary philosophy's 'mission' or 'task' to be, I get tonguetied. The best I can do is to stammer that we philosophy professors are people who have a certain familiarity with a certain intellectual tradition, as chemists have a certain familiarity with what happens when you mix various substances together."

"Despite my relatively early disillusionment with Platonism, I am very glad that I spent all those years reading philosophy books. For I learned something that still seems very important: to distrust the intellectual snobbery which originally led me to read them. If I had not read all those books, I might never have been able to stop looking for what Derrida calls 'a full presence beyond the reach of play', for a luminous, self-justifying, self-sufficient synoptic vision."

That won't work, you have to use something like partial instead if you want to use the operator module:

from functools import partial
import operator
double = partial(operator.mul, 2)

And at that point I think it would way simpler to just define a normal function.

Obviously, no FOSS developer can deal with all user's issues, especially when they don't pay. They have to drastically limit scope. That means saying "no" to some users and their issues. FOSS developers nevertheless should be able to evangelize their software to users in general. Nobody expects a "thank you" when you don't actually use the software.

The law is specific to pet stores because it is one step removed from the breeder. You can still buy directly from the breeder.

If a person cares about a particular breed they typically buy directly from the breeder anyway. That way they can check on the pedigree of the dog. At the same time they can see the condition of the dogs. The people who buy from pet stores really want a dog similar to a particular breed but don't particularly care about the breeding much less the conditions of the puppies at the puppy mill.
Thanks - that's a decent explanation for favouring one over the other.

I rather dislike "best practices" that don't provide any explanation of what they are recommending.
I'm not up to date but here's the Casper FFG paper, which says:

> Accountable safety means that two conflicting checkpoints cannot both be finalized unless ≥1/3 of validators violate a slashing condition (meaning at least one third of the total deposit is lost). Plausible liveness means that, regardless of any previous events (e.g., slashing events, delayed blocks, censorship attacks, etc.), if ≥2/3 of validators follow the protocol, then it’s always possible to finalize a new checkpoint without any validator violating a slashing condition.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.09437

So if more than a third of the stake violates a slashing condition, that does cause a problem, but only a temporary one since that stake is immediately destroyed. (An important improvement over just assuming majority honest nodes is that you can prove who violated any of the slashing conditions.)

There's been a lot of work since that paper, much of it discussed at ethresear.ch.

Casper FFG is the version currently heading for production; in the paper it's described as a finality layer adding security to proof of work. The original plan was to reduce PoW rewards by 80% once the FFG layer was added. The new design is a bit different and I think it relies less on the PoW layer, but I'm not sure how it all fits together.

There's also Casper CBC, which is a more purist form of PoS they hope to implement later. That seems to be making good progress but it's still in the research phase.

I don't think so, Guido has a long time history of being against FP, and the core of language is statement oriented rather than expression oriented. Beside that "->" operator in python is already used as return type annotation for functions. For the record Julia use exactly this syntax for lambdas. Like:

> We've added lithium to drinking water which has been linked to decrease in dementia.

Who's the "we" here? The facility I worked at adds only the following chemicals in order: sulfuric acid (pH control, since the algal sex orgies in summertime causes pH to shoot way up), poly-aluminum chloride and a long-chained coagulant polymer (coagulants), ozone and sodium hypochlorite (disinfection), sodium hydroxide (more pH control), fluoride (the obvious), ammonium (for keeping the chloride around longer), and zinc orthophosphate (pipe corrosion control). There's also unused tanks for potassium permanganate (raw water control), alum (unused alternative for PACL as a coagulant) and calcium thiosulfate (ozone quench).

There's no lithium in the system at all--I've walked past every tank and pump.
The USSR and USA started cooperating in the 1970s and this has had very good results. For example being able to get to the ISS after the Space Shuttle accident, and arguably in easing political & military tensions. They continued to compete as well.

> It's utterly baffling to me.

It's not hard to explain: Scale has been fetishized by the industry/trade. Everyone wants the cachet of working at scale. 1.5 GB of CSV text? That's Big Data, let's break out map-reduce. 1 load balancer and not enough servers to fill half a rack? That's a scalable architecture, we could scale to multiple datacenters at some point in the future, so let's design it now.

Deploying oversized solutions is partly due to outsiders jonesing the scale of Google, Fb and gang, partly Resume-stuffing ("I have worked with this tech before"), and lastly FANG diasporans who miss the tech they used and rewrite systems/evangelize the effectiveness of those solutions to much smaller organizations.
Money isn't the objective, h-index is. Market metaphors are still appropriate.
Yes we do. I would challenge you to find the actual science that shows that we have less time. Actually demonstrated not just speculated.

Furthermore the idea of stopping climate change is in itself completely up for grasp. What does that actually mean, what consequences are we prepared to pay?

Is it better to halt growth, are we ready to invade China to stop them are we ready to stop poor countries from getting access to cheap reliable energy sources just because they are dirty?

What are you even doing here if you actually really thought we had 10 years left? Why are you supporting the very system that apparently is going to destroy earth?

So start now with what at what cost?

I am personally not going to support any attempt at halting growth as growth is the only way we can actually pay for investment in cleaner energies and if the result really is catastrophic why are people so against nuclear which is the greenest, safest, most scalable, plentiful energy form we have?

Climate catastrophism helps exactly no one. It paralyzes whole societies and makes them completely irrational making irrational decisions.

So thanks but no thanks.

I take my chances with a world using growth to establish better and better solutions not forcing superficially insufficient and unrealiable energy sources such as wind and solar.

Each to their own of course but it's not getting my support.
The real housing crisis is the inability of cities like SF to approve redevelopment projects to tear down single story structures and build multistory structures as fast as is needed by the growth of the economy.

We might not like to admit this but part of this problem is us: people vote against putting up an apartment complex across the street from them while claiming that "affordable housing" should simultaneously exist. This leads to all sorts of bad decisions like restricting this building, but when we do build it, setting aside two apartments for "low income" occupants that is intellectually dishonest at best.
>You can stop taking it and all the symptoms will return.

It sounds like you're agreeing with me that it alters your mind while you are taking it. I'm confused by the English language use going on here. The plan is to micro-dose entire cities with lithium, which means we are interested in what lithium does when you are on it, because entire cities will be on it for decades of elapsed time. The evidence clearly indicates that the people drinking this water will have their behaviors altered, potentially for their entire lives if they just so happen to stay in cities that medicate their populations in this way.

In fact, the entire point is that people's behaviors will be altered. If lithium was mentally inert, then it would not be useful as a mental health drug, and nobody would be suggesting adding it to the water supply to improve public mental health.
Nope, sorry, but being an asshole doesn't make you less of an engineer. It makes you a poor choice for a team and a bad hire, but that's a different story.

In other industries it's better defined, you pass the exams, you get the right to use the title. The software industry on the other hand is using the term engineer too liberally - we basically just invent those titles for ourselves, consultant, engineer, architect - but being an engineer still primarily means having a certain level of technical expertise in the field.

And btw, in every industry you have those lone-wolves characters who are arrogant and hard to work with, but they get tolerated because they can solve hard problems better than others. I think you get even more of this in other lines of work, because in programming those types are usually not as crucial resource as in say maintaining some old machines that only they know how to keep running properly. May dad was a civil engineer and he had quite a few colleagues like that, and while no one enjoyed working with them, they certainly respected their expertise and would never say that they're not engineers, just bricklayers.

Interesting that you compare this with livestock. Certainly in the EU, the herd animals are all extremely heavily regulated and tracked individually. You can't keep a goat at home without being registered with DEFRA.

https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/guidance-on-keepin...

It feels a bit panopticon to require all breeding animals to be registered, but technologically it's now quite easy. Allowing neutered animals out of the control system would be a compromise so this doesn't affect the average pet owner.

Many breeds operate breed registries anyway. It's just the "puppy mills" we're trying to do away with.

I don't have a UHK but I have an Ergodox EZ which uses a layer system, similar to the UHK. I have mine setup to where I basically press a Fn key and the number row turns in to F-keys (with a few more to account for F10-F12). It's actually really nice once you get used to it.
Anecdata, so please take with a grain of salt- in the past 5 years of my life I've spent significant time in Pittsburgh, DC, central NJ, and NYC. In each of these areas I've seen large luxury apartment projects, but not one project for affordable housing.

If you create high priced housing that no one (including students paying off massive ampunts of debt, where the min payment + rent = a mortgage payment) can afford, your high-priced housing will stay empty. Developers beware.
