I lived in LA for a year, and the biggest hurdle I had with using public transit in the city was exactly this: that stations, especially for the newer metro lines, often were 2-3 miles from my starting location and destination. Using public transit meant that I either was already near a stop or had a destination immediately next to stop. In every other case, Uber/Lyft'ing through traffic was faster (and cheaper when you add the price to Uber to and from the stations).

So I think this idea has potential, though its eventual success will depend two things: first, whether the price of the last-mile via's can be kept low enough to make the diversion to the transit stop affordable, and second, whether the via's and the public transit can reasonably compete on timeliness with ridesharing services.

My brief advice: don’t try to race through undergrad using the extra credits. Take enough time to explore and digest higher difficulty coursework while maintaining high GPA, goal should be to land in a top grad school. Also, take time for personal learning and development in undergrad. (This means things that don’t result in receiving a grade. Go study abroad or something.) Your kid sounds smart but unmotivated. Finding that motivation is up to them.

Edit: also don’t get cocky. Nothing you wrote sounds particularly impressive to me.
True, but they are still a fuel waiting to catch fire.

I know you are looking for DIY, but I ended up getting Lutron Serena shades and they are really great. When I compared the cost of standard custom shades vs something with built-in automation it wasn't that big of a cost difference. Custom shades are always just damn expensive with or without motors. They have a 20% off sale very regularly if you order online, which I found my local big-box hardware store would match.
Here’s some feedback: pretending you’re grateful for users screaming at you for breaching their trust is not a good way to regain that trust.

True, but then they'd need to be reading your mind to know that you were thinking about it. The plot thickens...

Also, if this controller needs to do external things to influence what you think about, rather than just controlling your thoughts directly, then there's already a hint of free will in the choice of your thoughts.
So your constructor has to be infallible. That means either you can't allocate memory in your constructor, or that all classes that are backed by dynamic memory have to have a tacked-on error state in case the constructor "fails".

An operating system can't just crash if memory allocation fails, because it's actually normal for the operating system to run out of memory. If your OS is even a little bit like Windows 95 or System V, it uses all of the "left-over" memory for the file system cache, so every time it tries to allocate memory, it probably needs to flush a page to disk, which takes long enough that the OS will also want to go back into the scheduler to try to find some more work to do while that runs.

Ironically enough, C++ has fallible allocation in the standard library in spite of being ill-suited for it (unless you have exceptions; those can support fallible allocation just fine), while Rust went with the let-it-crash approach in its standard library, despite the fact that the language itself allows you to just return an Option from all the functions that allocate memory.
It might still make sense to keep the canonical metadata in xattrs so that tools can interoperate on it and build a search index from it when you actually need to do search.

On a NVMe drive rebuilding the search index shouldn't be too costly, even on hundred thousands of files.

I think there were also some ioctl additions for btrfs that let you sequentially walk the filesystem by extents or inodes instead of by directory tree, which makes indexing a lot easier.

If you use up your combined PTO on vacation, you don't have any left when you actually get sick.

If you hoard your PTO in case you get sick, you don't get to enjoy vacations.

There's a middle ground, but the spot where you draw the line and say "I need to save this many days in case I get sick" is going to be different for everyone, and most people are not going to calculate it correctly.

Not to mention the employee isn't incentivized properly here. The employee that takes too much vacation and goes to work sick, they're not the one who pays the cost of them going to work sick, it's the other employees who do. So a combined PTO scheme like this actually incentivizes employees to err on the side of taking more of it as vacation than they should.

We live in Portland and I can't tell you how many times we've left Portland with sunny weather and it has been steadily raining in Seattle, even in August! I think somewhere like San Diego has what would be considered more favorable weather.

JWT tokens, and any session tokens are used for authentication, like a password. The issue is that people don't want to entire a password every single time they want to send a request that requires authentication. Imagine google/facebook/etc. prompting you for a password every time you click a link. That's what it would be like if browsers couldn't store session tokens.

Typically the matching hostname can view local data/cookies though (along with any extensions you have that have access to it - which is most of them). That's why you shouldn't ever copy/paste stuff into the console of a website, it lets people extract your session.
So, in other words, what you did was not legal, and they totally could have come after you for breach of contract, they just decided not to.

This is so completely wrong that it's almost exactly the opposite of the truth. Two weeks notice is a courtesy except for term-defined employment contracts where the length of employment is an explicit, defined term of finite duration.
I believe they mean foreign governments, from interfering with domestic elections. This would actually be useful outside of the U.S. as the U.S. is far from the only country this kind of manipulation has occurred in, in fact it is probably even more prevalent elsewhere.
Right, so if you manage to start a healthy forest it is a carbon sink... as long as the biomass is increasing. After some decades it flattens out consuming land forever, but being mostly carbon neutral.

So to offset a non-zero amount of carbon emissions you have to steadily increase the number of acres of forest. Unfortunately this puts pressure on other things like farming, which causes them to be more energy intensive to get enough density.

From what I can tell the answers are things like nuclear, solar, and wind. Covering every parking lot with solar would be a good start.
When these services first came out there were lots of technical hurdles to overcome re: web based PDF signing, but it's pretty straightforward to do nowadays.

I had our co-op built an open-source esignature API, that produces audit logs and has a similar user flow to electronic signature provides like Docusign, Hellosign, Adobe sign, etc.... It took him a little over 2 months to get everything working. Only real difficulty he ran into was scaling and stamping signatures on the PDF, as there wasn't a singly Python PDF library that had all the necessary features.

In the end he got it figured out though - for anyone interested / looking to implement eSignatures in their app, see https://github.com/this-is-ari/libresign - it's MIT licensed.
Well, -ero is an extremely common word ending in Spanish, for one, corresponding to the -er in Hacker. Portuguese has -eiro. (Even in English a lot of businesses/products are called "[something] Hero".)
It doesn't matter. Dropbox didn't acquire HelloSign for revenue. The acquisition was for the tech.
Slightly off topic: I've noticed many of my once-prolific snap friends are no longer posting as much, and instead are posting to instagram.

Does he want to be intellectually challenged and just hasn't figured out the right path yet?

If he wants a challenge, it sounds like he should look for professors offering undergraduate research opportunities. It doesn't necessarily have to be directly in CS. I worked with a professor on a polymer chemistry project while earning my undergraduate CS degree. He got someone who could troubleshoot data acquisition hardware and write software for analysis; I got to learn more about chemistry and statistics. It was a fantastic experience.

I was at a small liberal arts college. I would presume that there would be even more research opportunities at a Big 10 university, though I don't know if it is hard to make personal contacts on such large campuses.

The question is how much real money is entering or leaving the system, since that's what would matter here — if someone is trying to launder $1B it's probably going to be a big problem if the system is only exchanging $1M/day into stable currencies and the rest of the volume is speculation. Similarly, since there isn’t much base demand there simply might not be a sufficient volume of buyers on the other side of those transactions.

Then you get to the bigger problem: being involved in these activities has significant risks in any country which follows the sanctions. The authorities are going to want you to prove that you aren't involved in the illegal activity if you don't want to be charged with money laundering.
The 'you know' is a filler we use for traffic regulation. We use these fillers subconsciously to take micro breaks while speaking, to verbalize our thoughts and to indicate to the listener not to interrupt as we aren't done speaking yet.

Polish of delivery is just a nice to have feature, substance matters most of all.

I've attended public speaking courses, which tend to emphasize polish, but seeing some of the most effective speakers using fillers like 'ums' 'ahs' and 'you know' just goes to show polish doesn't matter all that much. Reality supersedes theory.
Surely all countries should have elections that are free from foreign manipulation.
Surprisingly, it turns out that using security based on a URL with a random string is /not/ security by obscurity.

The security pattern of a URL with a random string is security-equivalent to a pubic username and a random string password, and also equivalent to the security pattern of a bearer token: so long as the URL is shared only with authorized users, it's the same security hardness.

The pattern can tune the security by using more randomness, such as more characters. There are implementation areas to consider, such choosing a random number generator with high quality randomness like /dev/urandom. There are some access control areas to consider, such as all the people having the same bearer token, which means there's no way to do finer-grained permissions per-user or per-role or per-attribute. There are some user interface areas to consider, such as if a user/agent doesn't treat the URL as secret, because it shows content rather than masking characters such as "*".

For comparison, "security by obscurity" means there's a weakness in how the security is built, such that if you saw the source code, or the physical insides of a lock, then you would understand more about how to crack the security.

In URL pattern, an example of security by obscurity would be if the URL string was not actually random but instead was simply incrementing, or was based on a reversible function of the time or username, etc. If you read the source code, you would discover that there's guessable sequence or guessable trick, and thus become much more likely to break the security.

Edit: I strongly favor higher security, and fine-grained access control, and multi-factor authentication, and UI/UX masking, etc. This post is just to look at security by obscurity.

This is where arm-chair lawyering is dangerous.

Basically, I'm interested in knowing that adopting this tech will make my life happier and less complicated.

* Look at the open issues -- Is it full of buggy edge cases and "3d chess"?

* Quality and maturity -- Stuff works, as documented, under all possible conditions. Maintaining existing features / "tech debt" is prioritized over new features.

* What problems does it solve? What problems might it introduce? Does it actually solve the problems it's claimed to solve?

* Is it designed in a way that will totally break a possible future use case?

* How much of a "custom ecosystem" is there (bad), and how much of it is "open standards based" interfaces (good)

* Is it getting more or less complicated to use it over time? Can you learn it as a "simple cognitive model" or do you learn it as a "huge collection of random facts" e.g. "a cognitive edge case LUT"

* Documentation must be okay (no elasticsearch)

* History and sustainability -- How long has it been around, is it updated regularly (regularly != often), do updates break stuff (no pipenv)

"or even a stimulant at all"

Its strange that tea was thought of as a stimulant but not coffee?! I could drink 10 cups of tea, and only feel the urge to wee. That much coffee and I'd be up the wall!

But then the Victorians were shooting up opiates whilst warning of the dangers of alcohol so I suppose there is a lot of 'cultural conditioning' going on there (and here).

What contract? Why do you mention one?
I tire of saying this in response to people who believe that credit and debit cards are "instant" but they're not. They take up to a day or two to process and clear and for money to actually change hands. The only thing that's instant is the check to see if you have the funds to cover the transaction. In this case even BTC's on-chain processing of 10 minutes is pretty darn fast.

As you said, other crypto solutions including Lightning Network, ETH, etc are faster and will be able to scale to orders of magnitude more transactions in the near future.

many of these "bus stops" are BRT (bus rapid transit), which uses dedicated infrastructure like grade separated bus only lanes. Its more like a subway that doesn't have rails and uses busses instead of train cars.

In particular, learn how to deal with people - especially people who aren't like you. Technical stuff can be easy. Dealing well with people is hard.
I’m really skeptical of this - my mental model is that when a city is initially settled and developed, large tracts of land are owned by people who end up becoming the local “old money” families who may truly have been monopolists. Over time they sell off chunks to “foreign investors” (who might come from the next town over or across the globe) which diversifies ownership.
Page URL is not personal information, that's a ridiculous overreach and misinterpretation of GDPR.

Perhaps this is what Chariot should have pivoted to.
Right now, the public transit is not the problem in places like Bay Area and LA if your source and destination are near the public transit stop or if those stops are accessible via a car/bike/scooter.
Thanks. And in a way, it feels more like finding my way back in.

A prominent psychotherapist in the valley, who is a friend, took a walk with me once and said "Guys like me spend thousands of dollars to go into the jungle and drink plant medicine to experience the states of consciousness you can access by looking into someone's eyes or breathing in a certain way. There isn't anything wrong with you, but you do need to learn how to work with this gift."

That was very much true. I needed to learn to return back to my body and to material reality and to be able to interface with things in a practical way.
