That those airbnb many people get are kicking out the families off their neighborhoods, that tourists are being the priority instead of the citizens, that that type of economy is just erasing local businesses -created for daily life and not for a weekend holidays-, that it's degrading the quality of life of those who live there... Las Ramblas were once a place for the people of the city. Most of young people now can't name a single spot there that is useful there for someone who lives in Barcelona. I could continue but if you try to look at the future seeing what happened in the last 10-15 years, you can see Barcelona turning into a theme park instead of a city. Being controlled by external economy does no good to anybody anywhere, and that's why you can read "tourists fuck off" in some walls. If you travel you should be aware of the type of tourism you're going to practice and the consequences for the area you're visiting.

I don't think the tool is the problem. We just have more people, flights are cheaper, and younger generations value experiences more than buying property and starting families. People used to send postcards, now it's digital.

The most compelling reason to not do this is that (I claim) it’s not super obvious what to do when the keys are equal. In:

{ 'a' : 1 } | { 'a' : 2 }

Should the result be:

{ 'a' : 1 }

(prioritise the left hand side), or

{ 'a' : 2 }

(prioritise the right hand side), or should it raise an error? Maybe a fourth option would be do downgrade to sets of keys and give:

{ 'a' }

A fifth option is to magically merge values:

{ 'a' : 3 } or { 'a' : (1,2) }

For the first two choices one loses commutativity which means that code then suddenly has to have previously cared about it (or it will do the wrong thing), even though it didn’t previously matter, and one is always potentially losing data. The third choice is safe but could cause unforeseen problems later if shared keys only happen rarely. The fourth choice also forgets a bunch of information held in the dict.

In a language like Haskell, one can use traits to specify how to merge values (Monoid) but without traits (and a way to choose which trait to use) I think some kind of magic merge is not great.

I claim the operations one should really want with dicts are not set operations but rather more relational ones, ie {inner,outer,left,right} joins on the keys followed by some mapping to decide how to merge values.

Good heavens! Not Scheme!
As a teenager, I went for a brief session of counselling for depression due to low self-esteem. Along with counselling, the psychiatrist also prescribed an anti-depressant for me.

At that age, I used to believe that anti-depressants don't work and were just marketing bullshit. And that therapy through counselling was the only effective way to treat psychological issue as the "human mind was very powerful". But I took the anti-depressants. So, even though the anti-depressants worked and made me feel real good, I attributed that to the "good counselling" received that helped me resolve many issues. And so one day, I stopped taking it without telling the doctor.

The next session, I mentioned to him that I had stopped taking it as I felt it didn't seem to have any effect on me and I didn't need it. A look of concern flashed on the doctor's face as he enquired when I stopped taking it. He mentioned this particular anti-depressant shouldn't be stopped suddenly and needed to be slowly tapered off, but I dismissed his concern that since it wasn't working for me there was nothing to worry.

To make a long story short - after that session I suddenly crashed and went into a deep depression, and even quit counselling. It was only later, after a long time when I resumed counselling that I realised what had gone wrong with me - you can't quit some anti-depressants cold turkey.
I think I fail to accept the premise that a.) we have a purpose at all and b.) if we do it's defined by our works.

To accept that we have a purpose and it's defined by our creativity leads to so many circular arguments that it's more sensible to accept that life is absurd. There is no purpose. There is only existence. And our existence thus far has been due to a random series of mutations and fortunate events.

If we create intelligent machines then perhaps they will further humanity's dominance on the planet. Perhaps they will destroy us and lead to a new era of evolution.

In that sense the purpose of the earliest primates was to pave the biological path for humans. Perhaps it's our purpose to create and pave the path for a better species still, biological or not.

... or maybe even better, waxing and waning about unanswerable philosophical questions like this is simply intellectual masturbation that conflates issues and reduces reality to unrealistic black and white absolutes.

There seems to be some confusion in the comments over our anecdotal and subjective 'experience', and the conclusions of the study. Detrimental health effects, does not preclude feeling better.

It's possible to feel good and still have detrimental health effects occurring. It feels good to eat cheeseburgers. We all feel better after catch-up sleep, that doesn't mean that detrimental effects haven't taken place.

(This is leaving aside the debate about the study's sample size - which clearly requires further replication of results).

In my teaching of python to newcomers (mostly coming from matlab/R or no programming background) they often try to do dict_a + dict_b, and are confused as to why that doesn’t work when list_a + list_b works fine.

Their sunglasses are half the price of brand name or more, and substantially worse. I can get Oakleys, Spys, or Nikes for $50-80 easily.

I might not be able to get whatever pair I want right now, but I'd find a decent one. The quality from a fashion perspective would be miles ahead, I don't even care about brand name; just how they look. Sunglasses for me are something that I actively wear 1-5 pairs of at a time.

Frankly I could afford to pay $100-300, but don't need to. Most people care more about the brand and status aspect, but I don't, just how they look. $50-150 for something like a pair of shoes is a reality most people can and do deal with. If they (Zenni) looked like glasses I'd want to wear, I'd jump at them. American optical have aviators in that price range, and aren't owned by luxottica
I find it odd that this has only come to light recently.

When I was at University in 2011, I had a sleep psychologist take one of our psychology classes and it was well known back then that catching up on a week of sleep deprivation on the weekend doesn't work and only provides short term results. This article focuses on the caloric effects, but recently articles have been linking the research to purely the effects its has on your circadian rhythms.
It is a catch-up in terms of how you feel, but it doesn't repair the damage done to your overall health.
I support this theory - it's so obvious I'm amazed it isn't a widely accepted theory already. Numenta has some of the best views on creating AGI after human intelligence, and their approach could let us create a brain without the hardware limitations that plague ours.

A recent Swedish study[1] following 43 880 people over 13 years mentions in the summary: "Possibly, long weekend sleep may compensate for short weekday sleep."

[1]: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jsr.12712
I wonder if what people call "catch up sleep on weekends" is just "having 2 days of appropriate sleep".

I would love to see an experiment where:

Group A: Sleep 5h per day on weekdays, and "catch up on sleep" during the weekends.

Group B: Sleep 5h per day on weekdays, and sleep the normal replenishing time on weekends (8-7h).

And then compare the effects of the weekend sleep.

I'm very sceptical of the "sleep debt" idea, which gives people the impression that they can do whatever they want with sleep and pay it back later. I honestly doubt you can pay any of the sleep debt you contracted over 2 days ago...

The idea that the universe is a single quantum state can be applied to any quantum theory, from a toy universe that only have a few particles and electromagnetism, to the universe with the standard model, and many other variants.

For example some years ago many people believe that it was possible to unify all the forces using the SU(5) group. It was a very nice theory, people like it, sadly experiments disagree. The idea that the universe is a single quantum state can't differentiate between the current standard model and the SU(5) model.

I really hate that the weak force only acts on left handled particles. Experiments disagree with my preferences. The idea that the universe is a single quantum state can't differentiate between the current version and the version where the weak force affect all particles.

So, how can be the idea that the universe is a single quantum state imply that the universe laws are beautiful?

Nobody like the collapse and the almost magical properties of the observer (the observer can be a machine, it's not necessary a human). Anyway, it's very useful if you can shut up and do the calculations. I vote that the answer to the problem is something something decoherence. It's still a research topic (not my topic), so we have to wait a few years/decades/centuries to be sure.

I think that "conscious" is like "alive". It's not magical. It's just an useful classification of some aggrupation of matter following the laws of physics.

Oops, sorry, added it now.

Right, I am revising my resume currently, and for the first time I'm considering dropping off my earliest jobs - both because they were a long time ago, and because what I was doing then is more or less completely irrelevant to what I would want to be doing next.

My thought, looking at the senior developers around me, is that adding whole new bullet points is good.

I mostly agree - I have a Pismo G3, 2006 Black MacBook & 2007 Black MacBook that are still in working order. The 2006 had one minor repair but has been fine ever since. I've been that guy who evangelized Mac reliability & AppleCare service to others.

I've been scratching my head trying to work out what I might be doing differently with my 2012 that others don't. The only thing I can think of (besides the backpack) is that I still make use of the internal DVD drive, and that I still have a spinning disk rather than an SSD (I need storage more than I need I/O speed). Perhaps the vibration from those devices causes some of the abrasion on the flex cables.
I'm pretty sure that the situation you're describing was not thread safe in Python 2 either.

Sure, once you're in the body of the for loop, the dictionary must have been copied to the list so you're safe. But while d.items() is being evaluated at the start of the for loop, there is an internal iteration that could be preempted by the other thread. The GIL doesn't save you because Python operations aren't guaranteed to be atomic, and I doubt something that complex would be (it would be a serious problem if iterating over a large dictionary in one thread held up all other threads for an arbitrarily long time). Even if it is GIL-atomic, you're risking breakage if you move to another implementation (e.g. pypy) or if Python changes its atomiticity in future.

In general, if you want to modify an object in one thread and read it in another thread, you should add locking to prevent this happening simultaneously.

It is however true that the Python 2 items() method allows you to modify the dictionary in the body of the same for loop. But this is a surprising exception compared to iterating over a list or other container, so it makes sense overall to demand you explicitly make a copy if that's what you want.
This isn't an efficient use of resources, especially when you scale it to millions of people. Returning to wood burning for cooking and heating is absolutely a step backwards for your health and the environment.

You're more "on the grid" than you think. Those solar panels were built in China (probably), how did you get them? Where will you go to get replacement parts? Where do you go to get gasoline for your generator? How is that easier than paying a power bill every month? You can't drink straight out of the well, you'll need a filtration system which needs maintenance, why not just pay a water bill with a hookup from a city?

You haven't dropped out of society at all. You're intensely reliant on society right now. If anything in your janky setup breaks and you can't fix it in a few days, you will find yourself at a motel and fully back "on the grid". I'm not saying you need to be a condo living yuppie, but surely there's a happy middle ground.

I don't understand the draw of this. I can get name brand glasses for $50-100. Their low end models look way better IMO. Personally I buy Spy, Oakley's, Nikes, or American Optical; all for less than $80, sometimes substantially. Also not a shill.
Growing up in India (which has no DST), that's how it worked. School would start later during the winter months.
It's possible, to a degree that would be enough.

But doing a feasibility study that gives an estimate is much different from doing a full plan, which is still quite diferent from having fresh surveyed maps and ready to build blueprints, and all of that is just before doing the first strike with a backhoe.

And it's no wonder everything seems so complex, because the people who are able to cut through the bullshit are usually ignored, because people don't like to accept the fundamentals. They cling to their biased beliefs about costs, project management, design, estimation methods, etc.
wish it would be helpful for reversing drivers etc.. for oss community
That's an excellent explanation, except for couple of points which I think can be misinterpreted. A distributed system with consensus will in practice provide higher availability than a single-node system, because it provides fault-tolerance. In fact, fault-tolerance is the primary point of using (non-Byzantine) consensus. But you are absolutely right that a distributed system using consensus has worse availability than a distributed system with no coordination.

Also, when using a system "with consensus" there is often no need to actually invoke consensus on the read side of the system, in which case you don't have to pay the throughput and latency penalties. I know you've sort of said this already, but it might be helpful to mention explicitly.

From my understanding on this topic, the problem has more to do with insulin sensitivity. It has been measured that insulin sensitivity is worse the day after a poor night's sleep and insulin resistance can help drive fat accumulation, all other things being equal.

I was in a mid sized English industrial town a while ago where the local cab company had their own app. It wasn't quite as slick as uber but pretty close for a presumably whitelabeled app in a place like that. Ok, fine it's irritating to have to download a custom app for every city or town you might use a cab in but the reality is that the overwhelming volume of uber rides are in the city where the customer lives.

Regarding twitter, the population growed and changed composition over time too. For example pre and Post Oprah around 2009 and explosive growth until 2014 when it slowed somewhat. So even if it's not a good representative of the whole internet, it's not a good representative of itself when looked at over time. One would have to use the same cohort of users from each year with the assumption that their usage stayed the same.

Right, except that decentralization is also the solution to fast data delivery -- CDNs work by decentralizing data, and if the people who built this were smart, they'd work in a way where users could get discounts for helping to spread/rehost paid streams (for a discount to their sub fee, for example), or choose to help a streamer out by replicating their stream for free.

I personally think you could find a lot of people who would be willing to help CDN/share/host for streamers they support, a nice step between watch for free and upvote/like and send the streamer money.

Even if you didn't want to go the P2P route, there's no reason that streamlabs can't step in to help provide that infrastructure if it's cost effective (i.e. if the streamer is paying) -- surely a streamer is going to be willing to drop $50 on extra resources for a stream if they think it's going to bring them >$50 worth of recognition/good content for their streamers. Streamlabs wouldn't even have to keep these resources on hand, they could spin them up on demand and just charge a slight premium. Even better, streamlabs could give streamers easy tools to enable purchasing cloud resources for better stream quality, and charge them for the convenience (and let them know of course that they pay the AWS bills at the end of the day).

I find the thought that the purpose of humans is to give birth to machine, that go on to colonize the universe very interesting.

By using machines, we don't need to be as concerned with the vast distances of the universe.
That depends on your definition. Many people, myself included, take 'red team' to mean -> attack simulation. If you have access to source, it implies a white box test, which is not an attack simulation but 'ordinary' vulnerability research.

The concrete difference between the two is that vulnerability research is mostly focused on the technical security aspects. Eg. is there a buffer overflow here yes or no? From an efficiency perspective it makes no sense to hide the source code or even credentials from the pentesters performing this research.

An attack simulation is more holistic in nature, the question becomes "can your security team detect when we exploit this buffer overflow?". The blue team and the red team do not share details, and to give the blue team a proper exercise they are often not even informed. To do a proper red team exercise the scope must be very broad. Both technical controls as well as procedural operations are in scope. If you call application/network security research a red team exercise I think you're doing it wrong.

So a red team, in the sense of the word that I specified, does not have access source code, and most definitively sometimes needs to reverse engineer binaries.
