Which dialects?? A stack is the obvious thing to have. You'll already need something like for nested FOR loops, so it's the obvious thing to do for GOSUB as well. I'd be surprised to hear that any non-toy implementations didn't have a GOSUB/RETURN stack.

ZX81 BASIC has a GOSUB/RETURN stack. MS BASIC has a GOSUB/RETURN stack. Atari BASIC has a GOSUB/RETURN stack. Apple 1 BASIC has a GOSUB/RETURN stack! - sure, it appears to be all of 8 deep, so good luck with using it for anything recursive, but it's a stack nonetheless...

I'd argue it's the lending market and tax incentives, not the housing market.

The lending market is designed to encourage spending and making higher offers. It brings new people into the housing market faster than they should be entering.

The tax breaks around owning a home encourage you to live there for 3 out of the last five years. There are also realtor fees that discourage you from selling. This, along with housing values appreciating discourages people from selling. When my home is appreciating in value, it makes it more attractive to buy as an investment or rent it out while I buy a new house.

If you encourage people to buy and discourage them from selling, you're going to get a high demand / low supply situation pretty quickly.

If you eliminate the tax breaks and reduce lending, you'd have a pretty balanced market.

But who wants to be the politician responsible for slowing home value appreciation?

It's not unbelievable at all (the admittance, not the act, to clarify). In fact I'd say it's rather refreshing.

Firstly, these people work for Tesla. They don't work for Elon Musk.

Hoping it's not just me, but there is no way I'm lying to the cops (corporate cops, criminal cops, federal cops, whatever) to protect my CEO. Especially if I'm directly asked "Did you* do X" (* where "you" means "Tesla CEO"). Double-especially in this case where the "X" is "not Y" and the person doing "Y" actively avoided you making sure they did "not Y".

If it's my job to make sure my Boss doesn't do something illegal, and he actively circumvents my ability to do my job, damn straight I'm rolling over to the Feds.

Completely tangential question to this awesome discussion: who even writes subtitles? It feels like a thankless job to write subtitles for rips of movies and TV shows old and new. I get that maybe they source original from, say, Netflix, but .set files existed long before Netflix, and for lots of movies not on Netflix. Writing all those tags for hearing impaired seems like a lot of work, which anyone other than the first-person movie production team would be loathe to indulge in. Yet I see a lot of subtitles which don't seem 'official'. Then there are subtitles which seem like they were written as a loose translation of the audio. Both are in English, so I don't see why they can't just transcribe what's being said. Instead, for dialogues such as "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.", the subtitle is written as "The devil tricked the world into thinking he didn't exist."

The last administration was the first in ~30 years to expand the US nuclear power capacity, and there is not any concerted pressure to shut down existing nuclear plants in this country. Your suggestion that there's some sort of semantic shell game taking place is unhelpful. It's particularly odd that you complain about environmental groups while ignoring the input of the coal and oil lobbies on policy making.
I’m sure medication is very helpful for some people, maybe it’s great for everyone. But posting a Wikipedia link that anyone could edit, not exactly hard hitting science. Maybe find one of the referenced papers and read it to see if it makes your point?
No. The range originally mentioned by Tesla in the earnings call was production of 350k-500k cars. He then tweeted about making 500k cars a year -- guiding the world to the extreme top range of the estimate.

This is material information, and he misled investors. It's clear cut.

What conversation has changed?

These aren't terms of fashion, these are terms used to try to be as descriptive as possible within the best understanding of science (as it continues to learn).

Are you really arguing that the reason we haven't addressed climate change (or global warming) (or increasing CO2 levels) is because some environmental organizations were anti-nuclear power?

A lot of the older film noir stuff I watch is definitely filtered by time: but you can pick any random garbage from between 65 and 75 and it's likely to be decent.
To me, the real shame is that he wasn’t able to actually take Tesla private last year. He loves being the public mouth of his companies and clearly can’t restrain himself from tweeting material information. Would be fine if Tesla weren’t public :/

I think if they do that now, women will regret it for decades to come. Ending the draft the moment they would have been asked to stand beside their brothers, matching their promise to risk themselves in defense of our shared values? It would be a hollow victory for peace, and a great defeat for equality and solidarity. Expand the draft. Have all women of age sign up.

The funniest thing about Stonehenge is the obsession that it was all about some type of religion. Read any BBC article on Stonehenge for an example of this or watch any BBC documentary.

It is the default myth where all specifics can be imagined or presented earnestly in a learned TV programme. Many assumptions go into this including the idea that our ancestors needed some convoluted religion instead of some connection with the world around them. Anyone can project their fictional quasi-religion onto what our obviously ill educated ancestors thought, it is so easy, like a mirror.

I wonder if in 5000 years time there will be people making similar observations regarding airports and placing their own idea of what our primitive religion must have been to have created these things, making connections regarding the orientation of the runways and some variant of the Mayan calendar.

Stonehenge is a gift that keeps on giving for the industry that surrounds it. People that are involved on this gravy train are up there with firemen and nurses in that their work is so much more worthy than that of your typical office admin worker or shop assistant.

I mean, who wouldn't want to protect England's most treasured monument?

Meanwhile the more interesting history of England does require some intellectual curiosity rather than idle thoughts about embellished mystery. Stonehenge invites tourists in to engage with some mystical bullshit. Who cares that there are many, many other vintage monuments and stone circles in South West England, there for anyone with a proper Ordnance Survey map and walking boots to discover and enjoy. The thing is that Stonehenge creates a spectacle, other neolithic stone circles are just that, some stones in a circle and can be seen as that without having to go into some quasi-religious awe.

Also quite useful for this awe and wonder is that most things from pre-history was made from bio-degradable materials. Our ancestors could have had the most amazingly crafted houses with furniture made from willow but we would never know they just louched about on comfy willow couches as all that remains are a few things like Stonehenge, meaning that BBC TV programmes insist that everything was all about some mystery religion.
It's just indisputable that since the 1970s, nuclear power generation and in particular construction of new generating plants has been hysterically opposed by environmental organizations.
Weird generally, but probably much less so here.

It's not terribly surprising that people that choose to spend a lot of time interacting via text vs. conversation (e.g. programming) could have sensory processing disorders. Research in auditory processing disorder is relatively young, but at least some cases can be objectively diagnosed with FFR https://journals.lww.com/thehearingjournal/FullText/2016/080...

If you have difficulties understanding speech, it's worth talking to an audiologist; you can effectively train for this! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29056453

It's also worth noting that auditory processing disorder is associated with autism spectrum disorder. I'm particularly interested in the various etiologies of autism, and whether the traits of 'minor' autism are well explained by simple sensory or sensory-processing disorders.
The conversation used to be about warming now it's about climate change.

I am arguing that the very sorry fact that we are focusing on inferior technologies like solar and wind instead of nuclear is pretty ironic given the claims by anyone who claims co2 emissions and climate change is the biggest threat to our existence. If you can't see the irony I am not sure what to say.
I pay $500 Canadian + electricity/heating ($80) / month for an apartment (half of top floor in duplex) in a good part of town, 20 minute walk from the very best part. That's 439.43USD including all utilities for a one bedroom, or '3.5' as it is called here (kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom).

& I know many dozens of people in the same scenario, or who pay less. There is definitely more expensive stuff out there, and you do need to hunt a little bit for this price (usually craigslist etc. is pricey), but I regularly see even bigger apartments go for the price I'm paying.

In fact I shit you not, my neighbour who has kept their place since the early 90s, pays 246.22 USD + electric for the same apartment as me. . .
Yes, although keep in mind we already knew of three independent evolutions of multicellularity — animals, plants, and fungi — so it arguably couldn’t be an improbable enough transition to qualify for great filter status.
And yet the market seems not to have magically provided a supply of housing that is adequate for the market to reach an affordable equilibrium. I agree the article should have mentioned it and am also skeptical about the efficacy of rent control, but other approaches don't seem to be working out as hoped.
> The results of Recht et al. do not show that people are performing validation on the test set.

As I read #3, the hypothesis doesn't depend on individual researchers acting unethically by validating against the test set. Instead, I read it as an analogy to significance bias in other sciences: machine learning models that don't perform as well on the validation set simply aren't published, so the field as a whole over-fits, as if validation is performed on the test set.

In the paper you link, the authors themselves do explicitly note some test-set shenanigans:

> But this assumption [that the models are independent of the test set] is undermined by the common practice of tuning model hyperparameters directly on the test set, which introduces dependencies between the model $\ˆf$ and the test set S. In the extreme case, this can be seen as training directly on the test set

We implemented WebDAV (rust/actix-web) for our product and it's great that you can mount it as a mostly native file system on all major OSes, but there are a lot of issues with Implementation:

* Windows sometimes appends a `/` at the end and sometimes doesn't when looking for folders, so you better make sure you return the same results for either.

* Windows WebClient service is buggy as hell. You have no event logs (that I could find) to find out what's wrong and end up restarting the service continuously. this includes if you get your username/password wrong, if there is an interrupt to the server (i.e, wifi drops), etc.. Wireshark is your friend, but it won't tell you why it's not working.

* Forget about Basic Auth on windows, credentials are not persisted across reboots/logouts, and you need to adjust registry to support non-ssl sites at all. Using Kerberos is really your only option, but if you want to use it on non .local domains, then you need to add in a registry key to allow this, as windows assumes that only .local domains would use SSO.

* Last time I checked, Adobe Lightroom won't even save to a WebDAV drive on OSX as it thinks there is no space.

* Lots and lots of noisy connections on both windows and OSX that aren't really needed, but happen anyway. Don't get me started on the amount of temp files that are saved/used, and don't filter them out either as things start breaking like Photoshop and folder uploads.

* Weird error messages that don't give you an idea of what's going on. Error code 100000041? Oh yeah I know what that one is!

* URL size limitations in Windows, make sure your entire path isn't too long!

All in all I am glad we have WebDAV for native-like access, but it is a massive pain to deal with some of the niggly bits between implementations.
Here’s How One Small Town Beat the Opioid Epidemic
There is more consensus on Rent Control being harmful than there is on global warming. Its absolutely insane that it would be enacted.

The solutions to expensive housing is complicated, obviously. Its about zoning, cancelling out NIMBYism, incentivizing affordable housing and basically matching supply with demand.

Rent control simply doesn't work. For any person it helps, it will disadvantage 10x more in the process.

I wonder if they are putting in vacancy controls as well. That would have the 1-2 punch of not only reducing rental stock but also significantly lowering property values (and property taxes in the process)
Here's a great paper about how rent control is counterproductive: https://web.stanford.edu/~diamondr/DMQ.pdf.

> Using a 1994 law change, we exploit quasi-experimental variation in the assignment of rent control in San Francisco to study its impacts on tenants and landlords. Leveraging new data tracking individuals’ migration, we find rent control limits renters’ mobility by 20% and lowers displacement from San Francisco. Landlords treated by rent control reduce rental housing supplies by 15% by selling to owner-occupants and redeveloping buildings. Thus, while rent control prevents displacement of incumbent renters in the short run, the lost rental housing supply likely drove up market rents in the long run, ultimately undermining the goals of the law.

To be honest one of the reasons that government malfeasance of the kind that got us into Iraq is so dangerous is that it promotes exactly this kind of cynicism.

We’ll be hearing exactly this kind of argument for decades because of the shit trump is getting away with now, and he’s arguing he should get away with it because of the shit Clinton and Bush got away with.

It’s off topic, but a culture of law breaking at the top promotes law breaking at all levels of society.
Market economies don't always result in higher prices. That's plainly obvious. Maybe it's something else?
It's not the same thing, however I do think CEOs having a direct link to communicate with the public is incredibly irresponsible; unless you keep everything extremely trivial, light, and unoffensive. Otherwise everything should be vetted and / or double checked by at least one even headed, conservative person (in terms of risk, not politics), who has some understanding of PR.
The paper itself uses the term "climate change".

It depends on what kind of world you want to live in, I suppose. It certainly isn’t egalitarian or inclusive, and I would argue it’s not very far removed from racism. The real debate would be around what amount of “us versus them,” favoring your chosen social group over all outsiders, is acceptable.
It's now worth noting that this is Elon Musk's defense: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1100215984713957376
Some do. California froze property taxes state wide. Many cities then instituted price controls on rents. The result is prices over $10 per square foot in cities like San Francisco.

Rent control means that renters have a big incentive not to move to different apartments. I've even heard stories of people continuing to rent their places after they've moved to different cities so that they can keep the same rents if they ever move back to San Francisco.

Freezes on property taxes means that homeowners try to hold onto their home as long as possible. Because many home owners invest a big portion of their net worth into their house, they are often very adverse to anything that might make home values go down (like building more housing).

Frozen rents + frozen property taxes = extremely high rents due to little supply of housing
One has to look at the policy details. At 7 percent + CPI it is not going to create abandoned properties over the long term. It is more like preventing Uber style surge pricing. There is a reason why the association for the landlords are neutral on the limit.

Undoubtedly those that have rent controlled apartments do well. But that does not mean one can go and get an apartment and pay a rate similar to the one that they have.
Yes I did read it.

Global warming used to be the term that was used, then we had a period of non-warming and it was changed to climate change.

Is the morality what's in question here? To me, it seems nonsensical, as evidenced by the logical conclusion: no people should move from any city to any other city.
I implemented a personal notes app recently using WebDAV. It's kind of mind blowing how many simple applications you can use WebDAV for and actually end up writing no server-side code whatsoever. Many things where you might think you need a database for, consider using WebDAV instead.

Everyone loves to regulate and restrict housing to try and keep anything from changing. If they would ban job creation then they’d get what they say they want.

But if you suggest that, it reveals the NIMBY hypocracy. “We want the economy to keep growing just no more people moving here...” ie the existing residents want to get rich by extracting wealth from the job creators in their region via restriction of housing supply.
I don't think he needs to stop tweeting. He just needs to make sure all the tweets that contain information material to Tesla are reviewed prior to publication, like he agreed to in the judgement.
curious what makes you think nuclear is scaleable? Things I've read lately says even if you wanted to build a bunch, it's going to be a very long time to get them built. Though I'd expect with serious investment lead times would reduce, but I'm picking that's going to be decades of time.

I use a WebDAV server on my Android phone and assign a drive letter to that from my Windows Vista machine so I can use BeyondCompare to copy my pictures off. I also use it to explore my phone files at a level slightly lower than what the standard apps allow. Probably pretty basic cases, but for me WebDAV has been simple and reliable to use.
I live smack in the middle of downtown in a small but beautiful studio, $750CAD/mo.
That's just not true though. Did you read the link I provided? Global warming and climate change are two terms with semantic differences.

You are, I think, arguing that it is the fault of environmentalists that our climate is changing as fast as it is. Because they opposed nuclear power. I think that's a fantasy. The oil and gas industry never made a serious push for nuclear power. US "energy-friendly" administrations never made nuclear power a serious priority (unlike the vast amounts of attention and resources that oil and gas have received).
I don't think it's an engineering challenge, I think it's a cultural challenge.

When traveling abroad, it's amazing how clean everything is. The amount of trash on US highways, city sidewalks, public parks, etc. is pretty noticeable when you return.

I'm sure we could build beautiful housing pretty affordably, but I'm not sure we could keep it beautiful unless we treat affordable housing as an ongoing investment and not just build it and forget about it.
huh..that was....huh.
