I share the same regret. In fact, by far my biggest regret in my career was missing an opportunity in 2008 to switch to F#. The portfolio management team I was with departed a large hedge fund to start our own. I knew I had 8-10 months before we started trading again. It was every programmer's dream: hit the pause button and get a chance to leisurely refactor everything you've never had time for. Even enough time to completely change tool sets. I remember discovering F# during this period and it was as though Don Syme (the F# BDFL) had listened to all my complaints about C# & Matlab and built a language specifically for me. Ultimately, I chickened out. I was afraid Microsoft would eventually Foxpro F#; or I'd hire people who'd tell the CEO of our firm that I was nuts and had built all our systems in an obscure language. By late 2012 the ecosystem had matured tremendously and I finally switched to F#. I really wish I had those four years back. F# would have saved me a ton of while-on-vacation troubleshooting from 2008 to 2012.
Even if it has no issues rolling over, a big problem could be that anything that works on a weekly cycle (I imagine traffic lights, HVAC, etc have different schedules for workdays compared to weekends) will skip some days, as Jan 19th 2038 is a Tuesday and Jan 13th 1901 is a Friday.

There are 3 possibilities: we go extinct we lose civilisation, we do just fine. Science does not us 30 years, it gives us 12, nowhere near enough to build nukes. With the loss of coordinated civilisation, whatever spent fuel pools, will dry up and catch fire. Spent fuel needs 3 decades onsite before it can be moved anyway. So to prevent all the SFP's putting their toxic load into the atmosphere, and killing everything bigger than bacteria, we need to decide to take an alternative to the scorched earth policy.
What? I started using Google in high school (‘99) because the teachers said it was good... and they were right.
It’s potential isn’t really relevant at all, because there’s better ROI in just about any other form of renewable. The argument put forth in the parent comment already has been very damaging, and can’t simply be dismissed. It’s a fact that many governments around the world have wasted a lot of money on subsidising personal solar installations, money that could have been better spend on just about any other renewable initiative. It’s another fact that many environmentalists are against, and some lobby very firmly against, nuclear energy (there are even those environmentalists who are against wind), a position very strongly bolstered by ideas like solar is “more than enough”. If you put your energy into promoting a bad solution, the best case outcome is that you get a bad solution. You also can’t rely on market forces here because of how regulated energy markets are, and how much politics plays into it. There’s plenty of political will behind solar, and plenty against nuclear. Market forces aren’t going to influence that.
And Continental Brazil still doesn't have even one damn thing you can call a passenger's train. It's a Shame. I think the Chinese Railway System will reach Brazil before Brazil even puts one single real passenger's train up...And brazil is almost the size of China...It's unbelievable, and so sad for a brazilian who likes trains. I have spent 2000 hours inside Trains restaurant wagons and smoking area's "wagon-gaps" in China alone, not counting in Europe, and It's so sad to see the state of the passenger's trains in Brazil, It almost makes me cry...

Evidence That Online Dating Is Changing the Nature of Society (2017)
Just please make sure to take breaks and recharge or you will burnout. Burnout is about imbalance, remember that this life is a marathon not a sprint.
It does have two appeals though:

1. Decentralized generation may be good for the network. Even if we have large utility-owned solar plants, it would be better if you can put a few hundred square metres in each neighbourhood, rather than 500 square kilometres together in the middle of nowhere. Reduced waste of energy from transmission-wire resistance, and less load on old/fragile parts of the grid if most of the current is being drawn from a nearby solar farm.

2. A way for consumers to hedge on electricity prices. From a financial perspective, there's not a big difference between "You get this 20-year lease/financing for a 5kW solar setup for $80 per month" and "You're contracting for 900 kilowatthours per month for the next 20 years, at a fixed rate of about 9 cents per kilowatthour, regardless of inflation or rate hikes."
I remember one dude wanted to cover moon with solar systems and then take that energy to earth with some laser or smth. He said it will require 1trln dollars but it will cover all people energy needs.
I suppose nobody wanted to risk such money and people with oil business didn't want it to succeed.

Now I think we should diversify and make more nuclear power plant. Also while it's building think about more ways to make energy.
I dunno why scientists didn't figure out great way to make energy.
Our altruism is a paradox. It's obviously genetic. And I think it's fair to say it evolved via natural selection, not gifted by the gods or aliens. Yet the nature of our altruism seemingly contradicts the mechanics of genetic evolution. Without resolving this paradox I don't think it's possible to fully understand either the nature of our altruism or the mechanics of natural selection. Resolving that question will be like moving from Newtonian physics to Relativity.
In my experience, the larger the company the less painful it is to fire 10%.

In large engineering organisations, laying off 10% makes no difference at all on anything apart from the ego of managers whose teams shrink.

On the topic, wasn't Jack Welsh/GE that popularised the idea of firing the bottom 10% every single year? Not saying that this is necessarily a good idea but that shows the amount of slack in large organisations.

Following up with this, it is highly unlikely the overflow will happen at midnight, or at the top of an hour. Even if a timezone or clock adjustment is possible on the system leap years and other calendar offsets will be different that can cause some continuing frustration for any workaround with an out of sync clock.
How many more 10% layoffs until they’re down to just 1 employee?
It’s appealing for lots of reasons. Consuming clean energy that the sun freely deposits on your roof is a remarkably appealing idea. But sadly it does not appeal as a realistic solution to energy demands.

Rooftop solar doesn't use any additional land and the US has vast tracks of mostly uninhabited deserts.

I would be very interested in a comparison between solar and nuclear regarding their manufacturing. It's not like nuclear fuel pellets grow on trees either. Do you have any sources perhaps?
Like I said, the proper way to ensure we don't wipe anything out is licensing and tag system, which is implemented in pretty much every country, and is enforced meticulously in any developed one.

And that all is completely orthogonal to tools used. I guarantee you that if you only allowed hunting with e.g. a wooden spear, but removed any other restrictions, deer would be wiped out very quickly in US. There's just too many people, and in such a large population a subset that is both skilled and interested is "large enough".

But in any case, your original comment accused people who hunt with guns of sadism. Which very different than fairness.

Yes. If the employee didn’t add a massive amounts of value, no one would have been hired.

Unless it’s a sole proprietorship, founders without employees are just masturbating until they fail. No one is a philosopher king.

Thank you! I'm very glad you liked it :)
It was a lower tier event or personality of WW1 or WW2. Not a Churchill, Paton or D-Day, but something lesser without reaching insignificant. It was 10 or 15 years ago - in the days when it was still common for articles to be incomplete or missing. I couldn't estimate when that period of Wikipedia ended, but I'd guess at least 10 years+. I'd be amazed if someone hasn't managed to fill the gap since, as articles are generally much more complete. Current Wikipedia has other issues.

It was some hours I spent on a topic I knew well, and had a good selection of books on my own shelves to cite, triggered by finding an incomplete or missing article, or a glaring error. Nothing more. After the challenges contributing I lost interest and moved on. I was doing Wikipedia a favour and trying to contribute, they apparently weren't interested. I'm not going to fight for it, but as a result I'm not open for trying more, or ever again.

As for username, I have no idea whatsoever, but offhand I can only remember one of the several LJ usernames I had, some I used for months rather than just a few days. Mind I doubt I could accurately list all the topics I blogged about on LJ, either, but could cover the main interests easily. I'm not even sure a username was needed at all but it may well have been.

We launched a crime based RPG game on iOS back in the day that had a leaderboard which tracked in game net worth (cash, investments, etc).

I still remember the day we woke up to multiple emails and lawsuit threats from our top player whose net worth suddenly went negative on the leaderboard.

Our players were very competitive and loved pushing the boundaries by trying to find vulnerabilities, shortcuts, etc so we assumed the worst and thought we had a bug in our system! Turned out to be our JSON parsing library was using integerValue on our NSNumber instances causing the ints to overflow. It was a tough week waiting for Apple to review the app while our players lost faith in us.

Lesson learned :)

(Luckily the player and our community were understanding and stay around)
Around 0%. Its not about cutting cost, its about finding new ways of continuing hardware effort. Broadcom has ~zero incentive screwing with outdated SoC at this point, but it might be relatively easy to sell company board on RISC-V research initiative.

> You just need a jack and a tow truck, you can go around collecting as many as you want and keep them. They've been abandoned after all, because someone has walked away from them.

As anyone who has had their car towed when it was legally parked (buddy of mine once got towed from his own assigned spot) this is pretty much spot on. The difference is so far Bird isn't ransoming their property back.
No. But you might choose your stops to be at supercharging stations, where you can also eat, use the restroom, etc. and your trip might be an hour or two longer overall if your original stops were very short.

Okay, it appears this is so common that gmail has some guidelines that if people follow they are are usually okay:

It does look like namecheap filters spam aggressively so possibly that helps.

In general be careful for the reasons I mention. But it looks like if you follow the guidelines with gmail then you'll be good.

Well, those challenges are fairly trivial in comparison, so it'd probably be good training.

Stealing is stealing, regardless of whether the property is unattended. There are legal procedures for abandoned property however.

You use a lot of words, but solar is simply not a “bad solution” as you suggest. It’s working great for a lot of cases. And nobody is saying it has to be the only solution.

"Watergate is the biggest political scandal of my lifetime, until maybe now. It was the closest we came to a debilitating Constitutional crisis, until maybe now. On a 10 scale of armageddon for our form of government, I would put Watergate at a 9. This Russia scandal is currently somewhere around a 5 or 6, in my opinion, but it is cascading in intensity seemingly by the hour. And we may look back and see, in the end, that it is at least as big as Watergate. It may become the measure by which all future scandals are judged. It has all the necessary ingredients, and that is chilling.

When we look back at Watergate, we remember the end of the Nixon Presidency. It came with an avalanche, but for most of the time my fellow reporters and I were chasing down the story as it rumbled along with a low-grade intensity. We never were quite sure how much we would find out about what really happened. In the end, the truth emerged into the light, and President Nixon descended into infamy.

This Russia story started out with an avalanche and where we go from here no one really knows. Each piece of news demands new questions. We are still less than a month into the Trump Presidency, and many are asking that question made famous by Tennessee Senator Howard Baker those many years ago: "What did the President know, and when did he know it?" New reporting suggests that Mr. Trump knew for weeks. We can all remember the General Michael Flynn's speech from the Republican National Convention - "Lock her up!" in regards to Hillary Clinton. If Hillary Clinton had done one tenth of what Mr. Flynn had done, she likely would be in jail. And it isn't just Mr. Flynn, how far does this go?

The White House has no credibility on this issue. Their spigot of lies - can't we finally all agree to call them lies - long ago lost them any semblance of credibility. I would also extend that to the Republican Congress, who has excused away the Trump Administration's assertions for far too long.

We need an independent investigation. Damn the lies, full throttle forward on the truth. If a scriptwriter had approached Hollywood with what we are witnessing, he or she would probably have been told it was way too far-fetched for even a summer blockbuster. But this is not fiction. It is real and it is serious. Deadly serious. We deserve answers and those who are complicit in this scandal need to feel the full force of justice."

Dan Rather, Feb. 14, 2017

It's absurd a portion of the U.S. has allowed this to go on. This administration should have -- in a country with an effective and responsive political system -- been completely dealt with at least by the end of 2017. Instead we had two years of completely dishonest, disingenuous, traitorous representatives from these areas willfully and totally engage in political obstruction.

Also I like how this got 8 points over four hours on "hacker" news. One of the biggest stories of the century and strangely all these super inquisitive, clever individuals won't discuss it. Can't imagine why the user base of "Hacker" news refuses to discuss these topics in depth.

To me, it would look a lot like Basecamp with tickets.

You'd open a thread like a typical nested message board-- say "Red Widgets Project -> 2019 release 2 -> [Maintenance Team] Support Blue Widgets". There would be a series of posts, probably the first one being "We need blue widget support for customer xyz". At the bottom of the post would be links to one or more tickets for the described task. Then there'd be followup messages, discussing the feasibility of blue widgets, clarifying what blue widgets need different, or noting things they discovered in the process. Maybe late in the process, they add other tickets for "fix blue widgets turning yelliw" or "prevent SQL injection on the blueness value", and each one appears at the bottom of the message that spawned it.

The tickets can have individual lifecycles, but the discussion threads would move back and forth based on activity like message boards do. Importantly, they remain both browsable and searchable, even if you have to click through a bunch of pagination. Maybe the threads can be flagged as "task complete" or other statuses to improve searchability.

The discussion that goes around a ticket-- how to reproduce, the decision making process, context associated with the issue-- has long term value. In a ticket-centric system, this all gets attached to the ticket, which disappears into the void when it's marked complete. This model leaves i intact, and treats the tickets as decoration.
Bikes are parked on bike racks, which is to say, in a place designed to store bikes. Scooters are parked — rather, strewn — across the side walk chaotically with no regard for those of us actually trying to walk there.

Sometimes scooters are parked on the side of the road. Sometimes scooters are parked in a ditch beside the road. Bikes rarely are.

There's certainly a point where lowering tax rates cannot help much (diminishing returns). But raising tax rates from that point might have an outsize effect, depending perhaps on how much (but still assuming not that much of a change).

As to growth, you're absolutely right that it's not as simple as wishing it. But the same is true for raising wages: sure, it's trivial to raise the statutory minimum, but for that to have the intended effect is a different story, unless the intended effect was more unemployment.
Pre-natal tests are routine, and even free, in California. The state pays for testing that would identify Downs, including NIPT. Unfortunately, you have to do older tests first to be considered high risk and to qualify for NIPT or amniocentesis.
