Certainly and nobody is being forced to learn languages in Estonia, as being an Estonian citizen isn't a requirement to live in Estonia. What's more, citizenships often come with language requirements when we're talking naturalization. Indeed you need to speak Russian to get a Russian citizenship via naturalization. [1]

TBH I think the airlines kinda fucked themselves on this one.

The whole meme was to make people walk through first class so that they would see what they're missing. Problem is, most people are doing domestic hops and in most cases they just aren't missing that much (I regularly do a 2 hop 40 minute then 1 hour flight that doesn't even finish drink service by the time you're ready to land).

International sure and I'm sure the airlines make sure they make bank on those flights. But if I'm going to take maybe 1 international round trip every couple of years I'm probably not going to spring for first class if I can instead put that money into whatever I'm doing where I'm going.
I agree. Even if it turns out to be a different cause, who wants to be the airline that gives it the benefit of the doubt in the meantime? The optics at this point if it happens again while this one is still being investigated are awful. The Chinese decision here seems pretty rational.

BOAT is a quick tool I made for analyzing and comparing the Big O growth rate of mathematical functions. I built it to help students get a sense of Big O notation, as its a common class exercise to have to rank several math functions in terms of their Big O. BOAT works by trying to find an upper and lower bound of a given math function by comparing the function against a set of known functions. If it can't find a tight bound, it tries to find an upper bound.

If it's given two functions, it will try to locate their crossover point (if any) using a binary search, as well as compare their growth rates to determine which will eventually grow faster. It might get some wrong (I'm curious which) as it only has a handful of function classes.

The last feature it has is an automated master/muster theorem solver. It's pretty simple - you give it the values of a recurrence relation and it tells you the big O.

Thanks for looking!

It's odd because Tesla has always been a luxury/up-scale car, even if their quality has been a bit spotty. I understand the motivations for Tesla to move into the mass market, but they can't also be a luxury car company with a cut rate sales experience. They're neither fish nor fowl at this point.

"The automatic trim we described last week has a name, MCAS, or Maneuvering Characteristics Automation System.
It’s unique to the MAX because the 737 MAX no longer has the docile pitch characteristics of the 737NG at high Angles Of Attack (AOA).

This is caused by the larger engine nacelles covering the higher bypass LEAP-1B engines."

I have this problem on ‘j’ but not on ‘f’―the comparison lead me to the thought that I really should glue a grain of plastic on the ‘j’. We here are supposed to be hackers and to do-it-ourselves, after all.

Such data collection practices are core to the business models of some of the most valuable companies on the planet. "Google does it" provides far more social proof for diluting one's users' privacy than "a California digital privacy law acknowledges it exists."
What you’re saying already seems a bit suspect. Especially with you commenting on someone else putting spin on something you appear to be putting spin on. Then you start things off with going against what the OP’s article says in its subtitle without any backing:

“'For the price of one Israeli engineer, an [Israeli] company can hire three Palestinians in the West Bank, and they have very high motivation'”

Likewise, the 1% of Palestinians and Israelis have any qualms with one another also has no backing by any data or real life. Since it also isn’t true at all and there’s actually polls, maybe studies, to show that isn’t true. Too much spin.
Even just something as simple as which of several replicas is supposed to be the master. Not some great external truth about the world.
It's bottom heavy because IT in 2019 is a joke. I left as soon as I could for operations and security. Better hours, fewer people, better pay, and I don't have to give a shit about your laptop. If you don't want to pay to keep your operations running properly I present to you the risks, mitigate as possible, and move on to the next item. If I think something is a time bomb I just leave for another company and get more money.

There are no seniors because the seniors leave. That's why you keep seeing groups like Infosys, TATA, or MSPs getting tapped for this service (I would be very leary of working for an MSP unless the package was very appealing). That's why I won't take a position where I have to screw with physical hardware, AWS everything.

I questioned the validity of polls in Israel, if you noticed. Can expand on that: the population is very fragmented and you can manipulate the poll by the way that a question is framed for instance, by the selection of persons polled, lots if variables that also tend to be abused in one way or another. They can't even get the exit polls right, seriously!

Peculiar list. Some points are good (e.g. 6, 7, 8), but overall this list has a different definition of "perfect" than expected. It's not about designing a chart that facilitates insight in the best possible way; it's about making a chart as a vehicle of parting users from their money/time (e.g. 3, 17), with particular focus on charts in mobile sites/applications.

like i said, someone who isn't me was able finally watch how he ate.

Swim grabbed a big plate, sat in front of a mirror, and ate it all!

It was definitely not a good experience for swim, but as you said, it was a mind opening one, because swim was able to watch himself as a third party, free from all the defense mechanisms that did not let him see what he saw before and for all those years.

After that, swim knew for sure he had a problem and as swim is a perfectionist, he wanted to solve or at least work that problem. But before the experience, swim did not see the issue as a problem, but merely "who he was".

Swim realizes now that no one ever "is" something, they just "are being (something) right now". and if you gain that notion, you realize that everything in yourself that you want to change can be changed with hard work and enough time.

NINJA EDIT: and to close the thought of the last paragraph: No one needed drugs to read that last paragraph, it is a notion simple enough to grasp.

Noise can be correlated with itself. For example, if you're using a pressure sensor to detect whether the person carrying it has fallen, then the baseline atmospheric pressure is noise, while the signal is in relatively small changes corresponding to a meter or so of height difference. Because atmospheric pressure changes only slowly, it is highly correlated across successive measurements. If you did PCA on timelines recorded under different atmospheric pressure conditions, that would appear as the top component.

I used that example because something similar actually happened (although there's no indication PCA was used): https://semiengineering.com/training-a-neural-network-to-fal...
A common way to handle this for non-cryptographic randomness without using any extra hardware is leave a pin floating that has an A/D converter on it and oversampling it to measure the lowest one or two bits.

Feeding in white noise though requires something to generate that white noise. When extra hardware is available you absolutely generate that noise and getting a higher quality and more reliable source of randomness.

While I think that completely avoiding a calendar or any fixed appointments is a bit unrealistic (think of doctor's appointments), I agree and deeply sympathize with the gist of it. One of the main reasons I quit my previous job was that I was unable to get any meaningful work done, because the day was very tightly organized around a central ticketing system. Oh, you had a nice idea to solve one of the problems in the long-term project the company is currently working on? Too bad, because there are already 4, oh wait, 5, high-priority tickets waiting for you, and by the time you have finished those, you will have forgotten the idea. This happened so frequently and was so frustrating that after a few months I just shut off my brain and was basically a robot finishing off tickets assigned to me. Needless to say, I felt miserable for 1.5 years.

After I quit, I lived off my savings for 6 months and literally had no schedule of any kind. I woke up and did whatever I was interested in. I got more work done in these 6 months than in the 2 years before.

The problem is that we shouldn't feel the need to use drugs to make our lives bearable. Depression, burnout and other mental issues is amplified by our lifestyles and the system that allowed them.

Sure you can take psychedelics, anti depressant, alcohol, and other drugs to make it bearable, it won't fix the underlying issue(s).

I agree with most of what you say on psychedelics, I don't see it as a cure to what we're talking about here though.

For an in memory cache (ie one not going to disk/network) you have to unnecessarily serialize your in memory representation to bytes. This is very frequently the most expensive (computational) step in a system.

If you are just going to send that stuff to nic/disk eventually anyway its perfectly fine (which is why something like Redis which is an out of memory cache can get away with it).

I've been thinking about an "inverse secretary problem" for choosing contract jobs:

1. I have a limited time in which to secure the next contract

2. Potential clients opportunities appear at a fixed rate (eg 1-2/week)

3. Each client has a different, unknown, maximum daily rate (MDR) they are willing pay. I can discover the MDR only by quoting a higher rate ("sorry the most we can go to is $XXX").

4. If I quote a lower rate than the client's MDR, I have a new contract and the game stops.

Given my goal is to find the client who will pay the highest daily rate before the deadline, what is the best strategy?

My best guess at the moment is to start at a high rate, and gradually decrease it as the deadline approaches. But how can I use the information I gather about rejected client's MDRs to decide the best daily rate to quote future potential clients?

In the US. Self-certification is pervasive in the aviation industry. For ex., an A&P self-certifies her own work. A pilot self-certifies night landing and instrument currency.
Not being told about the Palestinians at all would be pretty bad. Pretty sure any country with an extremely controversial history dealing with other people not telling children about those people at all is bad.
Effective Shell Part 4: Moving Around
It's not fixed until it is fixed.

I understand that with physical systems, the cost and complexity of detecting is higher, but if you're putting other people on the line, you damn well better do a live test of your vehicle before another living soul not certified as a pilot or flight engineer is allowed on board.

The more I read about this, the more it appears to me that excessive trust is placed on filed paperwork. Nothing says a fix is done like a successful test flight that specifically attempts to recreate the conditions surrounding the original failure.
Yes, I've been toying around with the idea of booking a flight for later this year when I get paid on Friday, and I'm paying careful attention to the flight numbers on Southwest's website to make sure that whatever I pick won't be a MAX.

> Simple: scope creep. When companies want to expand the scope I don’t want to argue with them or say “no, look here” or even to sign another contract.

What about when the requirements look unlikely to change though? You always think fixed price is not worth it or too difficult to arrange?

> With a weekly rate I just work as long as needed to complete the work

You mean you can finish in a few days and still get paid for 5 days? And if you take the full 5 days you'll probably get asked to do another week?

> Edit: I should also note that I have a much easier time closing leads when they see pricing broken down vs full quote up front. It’s the same price basically unless scope changes but psychologically it’s easier to accept.

Hmm, to me one problem with weekly from the perspective of the client is the friction it creates when they have to consider if they have enough work to keep you busy for the week to get their moneys worth. I think with fixed price the proposition of "result X for cost Y" is easier for them to weigh up rather than them having to think about time estimates.

My point is, if you're doing hourly billing or something similar, when your expertise allows you to get through the work quickly you'll end up billing for less hours so you make less money. Scope creep is a risk of fixed price but at least fixed price doesn't punish you for being more efficient. No system is perfect though so I appreciate your perspective.
> Personally, I struggle with focus, energy, and decision making. I've tried lists, and other things. Sometimes I think it is a discipline issue, other times I think its diet, lack of exercise, or maybe even my semi-regular sleep schedule. I'm not really sure, and I'm too tired to figure it out.

Oof. Feels like I could have typed that myself.

Many of these "the power of scheduling" posts seem to be written from the vantage point of either a newly begun regimen or a high water mark that isn't reflective of the mode. I say this less as a judgement on others and more anecdotally for myself. I've had those weeks of high output, and they always came coupled with proud forum posts giving thanks to and detailing my careful scheduling. This is never sustainable and quickly crumbles apart.

Maybe I'm not trying hard enough or I'm missing some crucial detail. Or maybe a life of every detail planned isn't the right life for me.
Maybe kexec-ing into the new kernel would be feasible?

I investigated this many years ago to see if it was, but I found scant information on compatibility requirements when using kexec to hand over execution to an arbitrary kernel.

The problem seems really hard though. One issue that stands out to me is that even if you properly shutdown the old kernel, will all system devices be in a 'good enough' state to be reinitialized properly by the new one? Or do some devices require a reboot for some reason?
> If the link yields another wiki page, keep clicking on the reference links util you find the relevant documents.

Neither snark nor a Wiki labyrinth are a specific citation for what you said: "The largest share of the data they collect is about Americans."

Nothing on that Wikipedia page supports that claim, and certainly not with a citation from the Snowden documents.

You're just bullshitting, and you're bullshitting on a serious topic like national security. It's transparent you're doing so, because you're citing non-specific things like a general Wikipedia page on the topic, after alleging a very serious thing was supported by the Snowden documents.

If you were serious, and being honest, you'd have cited a specific document. Or set of documents. Or an analysis which supported your position.

But you're not.

(Nor is that Wiki page: several things listed as mass surveillance are nothing of the sort, and just regular ol spy work against foreign targets.)
