Where in Indiana? $500/mo strikes me as a little on the higher side. In my town in Indiana (Whiting), you could rent an apartment for roughly that price, although I guess it depends on the size. And you can buy a house for <$100k which is less than 2x your salary.

I remember when I first took a CS class, I spent an hour in the library attempting to bubble-sort microfiches, much to the annoyance of my supervising librarian, who recommended a radix sort in very strong terms. Unfortunately I had more trust in my incorrect understanding of my CS textbook than I had in her, though she was correct.

The article unfortunately omits actual code for insertion sort and selection sort, except the "jump-down" variant of selection sort it mentions early on.

Bentley gives the "simplest insertion sort" as follows (translated to modern C; the version in the book is pseudocode):

for (int i = 1; i < n; i++)
for (int j = i; j > 0 && x[j-1] > x[j]; j--)
swap(j-1, j);

I think that variant is only faster than bubble sort because it stops iterating once the newly inserted item has reached its final resting place, on average halfway through the sorted part of the list, so it only does about n/4 comparisons and swaps per outer-loop iteration, rather than bubble sort's n or n/2. A better approach — usually the fastest sort for short arrays — stores the element being inserted in an auxiliary variable until its final resting place is found, thus avoiding almost half the work of swapping. Bentley reports from the previous millennium that this is a speedup of about a factor of four:

for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
data t = x[i];
int j;
for (j = i; j > 0 && x[j-1] > t; j--)
x[j] = x[j-1];
x[j] = t;
}

A similar optimization is available for selection sort, which is otherwise equivalent to bubble sort, necessarily examining as it does almost n/2 elements on average to produce each output element.

There's an even simpler single-loop sort algorithm (I forget what it's called) which is unfortunately O(N³):

for (int i = 1; i < n; i++)
if (x[i-1] > x[i])
swap(i-1, i), i = 1;

That won't work in Python, of course, but opinions may vary on whether we should be sorry or glad about that.
I had a similar experience with The Toyota Way, which was also about Toyota's manufacturing process.
What you really need is some kind of Angular/Webpack plugin that add obfuscated code to call out to some 3rd-party escrow/broker service to check if a flag has been raised and if so refuse to load. If you only had access to the final bundled code it might be hard to find what part to rip out (think like the "Preview" or "Sample" slightly opaque text on images. Then you could deliver the final product sans "DRM" after payment.

I think this could be thwarted with a CSP policy? Not really sure.

The antisemitism accusation is completely over-the-top ridiculous. Trump's own daughter is a Jew. Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem, and not one democrat showed up for the ceremony.

This is a case of projection if there ever was one.

Seems most of the books recommended are for non-fiction, so I'll add some fiction to the mix.

The Hyperion Cantos series by Dan Simmons. It is deeply philosophical and caused me to think about life in a way no other science fiction has before or since. I found myself really sympathizing with the characters in these books, and found the overall plot incredibly fascinating.

Another good one is the Commonwealth Saga series (and others set in the same universe) by Peter F. Hamilton. It's a very _big_ space opera with lots of engaging characters, interesting technology, exciting descriptions of interstellar war, and a good reminder of just how unlike humanity an alien species could be. It really opened my mind to possibilities of humanity in the future in terms of how we might progress, both in terms of progressing out into the galaxy and how we could progress as a species.
A People's Tragedy, while important as it has been widely read, is nowadays criticized quite heavily in the historiography of the Russian Revolution. Consider reading a few other books (like S.A. Smith's for a very recent one) if you want a different perspective.

They did eventually nerf the algorithm. /r/t_d was abusing stickied mod posts to get on the front page and that got fixed. I think it was also partly because most of the pro-trump users and posts were concentrated in one subreddit causing inflated upvote counts.

We're at such a weird area in American politics that I literally cannot tell if you're joking or serious.
So many people seem to want to name-check Orwell for anti-communist purposes without recognizing that the man himself fought for a revolutionary socialist militia in the Spanish Civil War. In other words, he put his actual life on the line for communism (in the non-Stalinist form he interpreted it as), and actually ultimately probably died from complications related to injuries he sustained in that conflict.

Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson

"Wait a minute--this Snow Crash thing, is it a virus, a drug, or a religion?"

"What's the difference?"

This was the original definition of a "meme" as coined by Richard Dawkins: instead of humans choosing what to think, what if ideas self-replicate using human minds as hosts? Religions, languages, agriculture, chemistry, the word "like", uptalk, literally any thought or behavior pattern can be framed this way.

I agree 100% with this. Furthermore, being able to carefully control the dose and duration is paramount in getting the effects to last as long as possible.
If you've ever actually read these financial articles you would know that they are basically hot garbage. Usually someone just wrote a template that scrapes a bunch of numbers out of a financial report and puts them in predetermined places. It has no utility beyond reading the financial report itself aside from being marginally more accessible.

> I didn't realise Dawkins' theory had been so thoroughly refuted.

It has not. The "battle lines" between the "Dawkins school" and the "Gould school" were established in the 1970s and 1980s, and they are pretty much the same still. Each school probably thinks they refuted the other one decades ago already.

Also the majority of biologists don't give these much thought either way.

* The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. It introduced me to an entire world I didn't know was there before. Straight up Vipassana meditation is better, but it's less accessible, and this book started me on the path. Parts of it cross the woo threshold for me, but the book can fundamentally alter how one sees reality. We are not really how we appear to be. It is possible to greatly attenuate suffering. There is no taking his word for it; you can see it for yourself.

A very sad story, but commendable reporting. The whole story feels straight out of a Gibson novel.
Le Guin was never forgotten, she was always one of the greats, long before affirmative action came.

You are right about those more recent books though. I bought "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" and "A Closed and Common Orbit" and was thoroughly disappointed.

Here is somebody, who has clearly great ideas - and is incapable of running with them, like Le Guin did. All problems, all conflict, all interestingness - is carved from the book like a diamond grinded down into a pearl. It always returns to what i would term "emotional pornography", a hugfest - very similar to what firefly became later on.
I expect more from my scifi, a lot more, i rather have bad writting- which these books did not have at all.

They just dont go anywhere, like Le Guin did. So, while the parent is overgeneralizing, i think he is right here. The Nebula was undeserved in my opinion. If it must be for a woman, give it to Le Guin post mortem.

Well it’s not an employer deciding whether it’s done so organizations just deal with it. And yes it does give effects that last years and disrupt organizations three layers deep. But it happens to all organizations, so it’s not a competitive disadvantage.

I don't think it's accurate to say that reddit has a free speech ethos. Maybe "free speech up until the point where it causes problems with revenue". For example, a year or so ago Reddit overhauled its rules to ban subreddits that were used to facilitate exchanging or gifting drugs (including alcohol and tobacco). However that rule has an exemption saying that advertisements for alcohol, tobacco, and narcotics are still OK. So /r/beertrade gets banned, but reddit will still happily show me ads for some winery founded by MIT grads.

Reddit will also ban subreddits for hosting content that some people may think is "bad", but definitely not illegal. Not that I miss /r/shoplifting, but the discussion itself wasn't illegal. They also banned legal things like firearm schematics and r/brassswap
What extensions do you use that make your browser slower? I only use HTTPS Everywhere, which has no effect, and uBlock Origin, which makes most webpages much faster, so I don't see how this is true.
I did not find this argument particularly compelling. His analysis of why stock buybacks are worse than paying dividends seems to miss the fact that the buyback has an impact on the share price, so more than just the people who had their stock bought back directly by the company will ultimately pay capital gains tax on because of the buyback. If you account for this, the disparity disappears.
I’m not surprised. This is so different to how workplaces are usually run in the US that organizations, or society even, has no institutional memory on how to deal with it.

In Sweden, where 400+ days of parental leave has been mandatory for years organization have adapted and learned patterns and ways to deal with people dissappearing for around a year.

It slows deployments, it needs to be retested from time to time as domains move / expire, and on balance has the potential to cause more pain than it solves for. It defends against an edge case (domain owner being irresponsible) at a cost (everyone else gets slowed down). It's a judgement call, largely.

On one hand, time and effort is wasted doing the same thing 100 times with slight differences rather than just working on the same thing. But on the other hand, in my opinion these differences are very important. For example, you listed that only a few desktop environments are necessary. While that may be true for the vast majority of Linux users, the more fringe desktop environments/window managers are great. For example, I use i3wm daily and it's a pleasure to use. While some of the DEs listed in the article may have some tiling, the WMs designed specifically for tiling do it better (in my opinion). That's the glorious thing about there being many tools that do ostensibly the same thing, you can almost always find a tool that fits your niche use case.

The reddit audience was historically very resistant to advertising. When it began it really wasn't a million miles away from the HN audience, could you imagine the drama we'd have here on HN if suddenly banner ads started appearing?

Reddit grew to the point where its audience is now a lot more broad and the previous audience is a vocal minority. They can get away with ramping up ads and other behaviour because the audience is no longer sufficiently monolithic to revolt.

Bearing in mind in the past the audience did revolt and basically kicked out the then CEO (temporary CEO but still...) Ellen Pao, in what was a kind of full scale riot that shut most of the site.
