These videos were just released yesterday from the Stanford archives in honor of Prof Knuth's 81st birthday so there may not be higher resolution versions available. Maybe this is a subtle call to some aspiring hacker to re-res them with a super-resolution deep learning algorithm. What a cool gift to the world that would be.
It certainly feels plausible and yet we have that issue. All our media tells us we should all carry guns and shoot people and yet gun violence is down.

We have some of the sexyist media around telling us we should all be sleeping around and yet apparently sex is down too.

Are we sure it's any different for other topics?

Also, as for media and marriage I feel like more media is about bad marriages than good ones. A common theme might be falling in love and getting married but a movie about people already married seems rarely about things going well. Or maybe I just have a selective memory.
The alternative model is what franchises like Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed do: spend $60 every year on a brand new game while the previous year's game is unsupported. And $60 is without any of the extras...you can pay $80 for a deluxe edition, buy some lootboxes, etc.

Between the two, I actually prefer the continued development model. It also makes you feel like you can pick it up anytime and not be playing an obsolete game.

Paradox is another example of a company doing this well. A lot of people complain about the total cost of buying Crusader Kings II or EU4 with all DLC today (~$300), but these games have been in continuous development for half a decade or more. All that effort has to be paid for somehow.
I don’t disagree that it’ll be hard but I think there’s more awareness of the problem and rejection of “regulation is bad” propaganda than I can remember seeing before. I won’t be surprised if something happens at the state level, especially outside California.
Best bet is a growth co that offers RSUs over options and a few years away from IPO. They will generally offer you a premium over what you'd make at a similar level in a public co (to make up for the illiquidity of the stock), and if you believe in the growth story it can pay off big time.

And you can order things that appear to contain alcohol if you feel self-conscious about it. With the added benefit that after a few hours you still have a clear head while everyone else is buzzing — a potential advantage for you.
Maybe this isn’t common, but I find that exercising indeed leads to me eating less. Further, after exercising, my tastes very obviously gravitate towards more protein and fiber rich foods, and away from sugary chocolates and sweets.

I find that when I am inactive, I am constantly hungry.

Part of this I think is exercise helps me sleep better, and better sleep reduces my appetite.
(Unity employee here) While I can't comment on legal specifics, the controversy is entirely about Improbable's server-side use of Unity, so you should be fine. That said, you can send us an email (with details of your specific situation) on terms@unity3d.com and our team can clarify. (You can also wait and see, as we'll be updating the ToS again, as they're evidently much too vague at the moment...)

Thanks for reading! This is still a young project with room for improvement and new sections. I’m already planning some content for building web pages, database access and package management with Composer. I wrote an announcement post over on dev.to if you want to read more about how the site was built: https://dev.to/restoreddev/announcing-php-apprentice-coc
That's the problem, in technical links popularity (as in number of visits) is not linked to correctness, that's one of the reasons StackOverflow is so useful, because the top-voted answer is like 99% of the times the most correct (useful) one.
Easier to work with doesn't make it higher quality overall. General perception of console games is exactly reduced quality, in the sense of art and games mechanics (due to mass market appeal and controller oriented design) and in technical aspects simply due to outdated hardware.

Incumbent consoles are trying to dig themselves out of this perception now, but they got it very deservedly.
I don't pretend to understand the feelings of people who care about this issue strongly, so I won't defend the choice vigorously. But I would guess they did that because their target demographic were Fortran and Matlab users, all of whom use 1-based indices, as is usual in math books. At any rate, in Julia you rarely need to write the start index explicitly (because of functions like eachindex) and can easily start your indices anywhere you like if you feel strongly about it.

(I know that to you specifically the fact that the ability to choose the starting index is not builtin means it doesn't matter, but I point it out for others who might not know that it's easy to do in Julia.)
It's accurate insofar as bus drivers check the time as they drive. This is about as accurate as it is in Toronto, which I consider to have a good public transit system. YMMV
I have always been underweight before putting on more muscle just a few years ago. While I logically understand the challenges of being overweight or obese, nothing I've heard or read really drove just how much it weighs on you not just physically but emotionally quite like this article.
yeah, i wonder how much of the game information you would have to include to make it unique.

that being said, wouldn't map information be sufficient for the remainder of the classes? so using starting equipment is really just an optimization available for this class?
Parents absolutely have to be part of the learning. If both parents work and make no time to contribute to the development of the child's abilities, the outcome is obvious.
Totally agree. We have to start with better quality of food. Most Americans eat basically only crap with a lot of sugar, carbs and other stuff.

That's Quanta, which is a crap science mag. That article doesn't even seem to link to the actual paper. The actual paper is linked above.

It's good to know that this approach to factoring is less vulnerable than suspected. We still don't have a proven lower bound on factoring, though. There's always the possibility that someone will make a breakthrough.
It's an interesting concept that I am not sure will work in the North American context. You see far greater numbers of conglomerates that own multiple businesses in Asia than in North America/Europe. North American business schools are all about focusing on one business and one industry.
Can we now safely use RSA keys of length 2048? Or is it still advised to use only use 4096bit long keys?

The original context, as far as I can tell, was "what fraction of workers live in the high-cost metro areas?", right?

We're trying to estimate this in all sorts of indirect ways, when the real questions, which I am sure we should be able to find answers for, are:

1) How many workers are there total?

2) How many workers are there in high-cost metro areas?

What we can't easily do is derive the answer for #2 from the total population of said metro areas; it's heavily dependent on the age structure of said metro areas and the specific workforce participation rates for those areas by age.

> Therefore, as you say, the "prime age" labor force participation rate is 65%

On average across the US, plausible.

> Applying this ratio to my original numbers, 45.5 million people are laborers in the Northeast

Yes, but even in the northeast not everything is in an expensive metro area, fwiw.

> We cannot possibly say that an area like Amarillo TX, with just 100,000 laborers, is indicative of some nationally sustainable trend

On its own, sure. But there are a lot more areas like that (by count; how the population totals look is not obvious to me) than there are big expensive metro areas.

That is, you might be right in your original claim that "half the country" are in the high-cost situation, but your data is not showing that very conclusively.

That said, I would be shocked if less than 1/4 of the country is in that situation. And yes, we should be aware that these tens of millions of people exist and of their situation.
the more important part is collecting enough people that you can go look for fights that are decisively in your favor

So basically, it's like real life. "Bigger army diplomacy," as CGP Grey says. I think this is also extending to social media space.

For me, with keto, I have much less of a hunger feeling, making things more manageable (As I've said in another thread). Agree with the mental clarity also.

How did you stick with it though? I can do the diet, but find it hard to do with social stuff. For me, doing keto was quite a lonely thing.
Yes

The fact is, we just do not need to be that shitty.

And the child is with us no matter what we think of the parents.

I have one I more or less have to care for right now. I did not fuck the mother, in fact, didn't make any of the choices.

And talk accountability all day long. But there it is, child in the street, or...

We can do better than this. We need to long before we resolve all the petty squabbles over who should have done what in a risky world no matter what we do.
I remember Joe Rogan and Peter Attia talking about this on Joe's podcast.

The patient did supplement with yeast, for the branched-chain amino acids. And strangely, at the end of the fast, he didn't have all of that loose skin that you typically see in those with rapid weight loss. They were speculating if the BCAAs helped with that or not.
I don’t know if these people are really “outliers”. Many thought that an extreme outlier would not “win” the 2016 election, but it turned out there were 62 million who supported and loved his extreme outlierism.
Only that, the comments section alone on HN is pretty straightforwardly “organis(ing) and promot(ing) [...] copyright-protected works uploaded by (its) users”, and so whether or not it falls under the scope of this section(1) hinges only on the regulators’ and courts’ opinions of what a “large amount” is.

I agree with the OP here, and I think it's an interpretation of terms.

If a company is "raising money" that means, in almost all cases, that they are actively soliciting or courting investors. They are doing the "Sand Hill Run" or some other such intense, grueling process which attempts to "pitch" the startup to investors in a gamified way.

I agree with the OP that this is a failure mode because in almost every case I've seen the company can't survive without it in the short-mid term.

If VC are literally hunting you down like Sequoia did with Whatsapp, I wouldn't consider that "Raising Money." They could have done without VC and been perfectly fine - probably better off long term.
Not true. The best train systems in the world are private businesses. The problem is having to compete with the government. The NYC subway used to be two private systems and the government put them out of business and now it's death by politics

A business focused on transit could otherwise profit and maintain for less cost than government fails to do.
Supposedly, Microsoft would never have let Bungie go if they wanted Halo, too. Microsoft would probably have been more likely to see Bungie shut down entirely than lose the Halo IP.

Bungie making sure they always retain ownership of Destiny seems a "lessons learned" adjustment from losing Halo as much as anything. I'm not sure yet if it means they plan to continue Destiny though. The comment above may be correct that Bungie may just want to move on to the next IP.
Not a doctor or expert, but in my experience in tech and startups I noticed a strong difference between (younger) American coworkers and Europeans. Alcohol seemed totally normal to Europeans (and also declining alcohol was never a big deal) whereas with some US expats the “pressure” was more palpable.

Some US friends and coworkers openly discussed this “weird relationship” Americans have with alcohol and how it develops during high school onto college. Can’t comment on that but it fits my anecdotal experience.
I really enjoyed the discussion on this post as I have children and I want the best for their future.

I would like to see more discussion on this topic.

-march=c was apparently removed from LLVM? See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5180914/llvm-ir-back-to-...

I didn't know that it existed in the first place and what i expected was a bit of a higher level approach. Not even sure if going through Rust -> LLVM IR -> C -> asm would have a negative effect on performance, i.e. if the C code reconstructed from LLVM IR is optimal.

This was the hard won lesson for me over the last few years and I think most VC already know this.

In fact I'm surprised any VC takes any solicitations because IMO even broaching the topic with a VC without them approaching you first is a negative indicator of growth.
I would say that this is true in cases when neglecting to exercise and eat appropriately is the cause of excess weight in a normally functioning body.

In severe cases of obesity, something else may be going on. In a nutshell, the bodies of some of these sufferers could be on some sort of fat storage rampage. The fat cells extract an "energy tax" and store it; the body then has to do with what is left.

If there is a broken, runaway fat storage mechanism at play, such that a percentage of your intake is stored as fat, and not easily released again, it will be difficult to overcome the accumulation of fat with diet and exercise.

But, yeah, diet and exercise work for many people. And in many cases when they are reported as not working, they weren't given the proper effort.

Excercise that works is probably 2-3X more voluminous and intense than exercise people think
ought to work, damn it! And sane eating plans have to be adhered to forever, not just for a couple of weeks.

If you stick with exercise and become a long-term dedicated athlete, it will change how the body works. You have to change your self-image into one that includes you as an athlete. A durable, self-image that persists even if you take a break from sport which gives you confidence to get back into the game.

For PHP, Yii Framework has awesomeness. I just v1 and a bit of v2 (though the simple vs modules split adds more complexity than just having modules always).

The great thing with Yii is performance (efficient generated SQL queries, multilevel caching, mixed eager/lazy loading) and instrumentation for application tuning. Other stuff is like other good frameworks.
Wow, I have never seen much alcohol available at conferences in my own field. Often they are held on university premises instead of at hotels like in the linked article, and so perhaps serving alcohol is forbidden there. All one gets is free coffee and some cakes. Sometimes attendees will decide to have dinner together after the day’s programme, but that just means a restaurant where each person can decide whether to order a glass of wine or not, and certainly not an open bar.

A while back I read the memoirs of one prominent scholar in my own field. He claimed that conferences are so often used for impetuous sex between academics, whether single or married. That’s another dodgy side I have never noticed personally. It makes me wonder if he was exaggerating or I have simply been blind to it.
One can imagine what one likes, of course. I personally prefer to base medical decisions on, well, medical advice than on mental meanderings. And the medical advice leans the other direction[1].

Eh? Do whatever you like with your body, and more power to you. But this is the same flavor of ignorant social pressure game the anti-vaxxers get up to, and is deeply irresponsible.
I absolutely agree that it's simple math (I did that math myself to lose 60 lbs), but we're people, and the only time math is the hardest part of being human is 3rd grade. Just like any self destructive behaviour we take part in, just because it's a choice doesn't mean that it's an easy one.

It's not "my" programming, it's the reality of the world. You've haven't offered any alternative because there isn't one. I'm really trying to understand you here, but you're not offering anything, you're just saying my thinking is limited somehow without a valid reasons being presented. How about this, rather than critiquing my thinking, how about you present yours. You seem to think there's a magic step where raw resources become things you are entitled to without someone else having to labor to produce them.
I agree messing around with the sea-floor will probably mess up the local area, but the area of the Ocean is huge. I am not a micro-biologist but your ideas about the importance and complexity of mitochondria is under estimated.

The primary function of mitochondria is the production of ATP which is then used for energy throughout the rest of the cell. Protein coding by the mitochondria, I would guess, is just a way that this very important part of a cell can have a more powerful feedback loop with the rest of the cell. Unless we can create some kind of nano-bot replacement for the creation of ATP in the cell, with all the right feedback loops, etc., just coding the proteins that the mitochondria codes for in the cell DNA will not work at all.
Most tech blogs have just one author, and their posts don't go through a high-quality editorial process. Wikipedia calls these blogs "self-published sources", and they usually aren't considered reliable sources.

I really hope that we start putting some social pressure on parents of very young obese children. It's obvious to me that getting your child obese and getting them set in the habits that will keep them that way is miles worse than things we have already weeded out with social pressure, like smoking in the car with children in it.
I don't understand what the big deal is...we should ban alcohol at these events because some people don't like it? I don't drink, I haven't done so since my first year of uni...it has never been an issue.

Might there be a correlation between people who don't drink and being introverted/feeling excluded? This is definitely true in my case (at one time, I had social anxiety...alcohol was a crutch for me) but you just have to get over it and stop thinking that you deserve an exemption. If we make this exception, guess what...the same people are going to complain about being excluded for some other arbitrary reason.
