Hah, yeah, we get the same sort of thing occasionally. Our 4.5 and (almost) 2yo are in a bunk bed. Sometimes my son (4) will just repeatedly come up with dumb reasons why he shouldn't be in bed. You can handle each on of these, but at some point a straight up and and firm "No. It's bed time." in my "I'm getting annoyed" voice is what works. Sometimes that means I have to stand outside their door for half an hour and keep putting them back to bed until they get the hint, but if you generally only have to do it a couple of times before they get the hint.

I only recently figured out how to phrase it, you can be "firm" without being "strict". You don't have to be a shouty monster to have limits, boundaries or firm ideas over what is acceptable behaviour. Kids seem to like consistency, they like knowing what's what, that doesn't mean you have to be horrible about it.

We're all making this stuff up as we go along, and every child and situation is different though, so you've got to go with what works for your kids.
I wouldn't go as far as to say they are repelled by classical music. I'm sure there are pockets of many that embrace it and love it. I think on the whole though, we tend to embrace what we're familiar with. A lack of familiarity and accessibility would tend to push people along the path of least resistance. If it's too much effort with not enough pay off, people tend not to do it.

> And you would probably want to focus on parallelism, where C++ again is not the best.

Here again, this is wrong.

99% of highly scalable parallel code that run on supercomputers is C++ or Fortran.

And there is reasons to that, if you want parallelism, you want generally performance. If you want performance you want control on NUMA, SIMD, cache locality, etc... and C++ gives you that. Not Java.

Excellently put.

The 737 MAX is actually proof that even in the modern day, a basic grasp of philosophical principles is relevant.

Namely, being able to identify when a redesign of a plane becomes substantially different enough to no longer be the plane it was based on anymore.

The MAX blew past that line as soon as the system layout changed such that the pilot's mental models were no longer capable of accurately predicting the behavior of the plane.

In fact, it's much more like the attorney is paid, which is considered fine in courts. Indeed, having contributors who are potentially biased, but who each argue their point and agree to a method of conflict resolution, is considered one of the most powerful methods of seeking truth. It's also used in academics, where each researcher bring their own biases to the table.

Roughly an order of magnitude more time in the best case scenario, so yes, quite a bit.

The only way filling up my tank would take 10 minutes was if I had to queue for the pump for over 5. Also, you get much less added range from those 30 minutes with an EV, so I really doubt it's a reasonable suggestion (even if superchargers were as ubiquitous as petrol stations).

Boosting Email Engagement and Conversion with Send Time Optimization

IMO apple’s subscription management is greatly undervalued. When I go there and cancel a subscription, it just cancels and that’s it. No intentionally buried links to hunt down, no “But why are you leaving? :(“ guilt trip modal, no convoluted payment method removal process.

I would be much more supportive of efforts to push Apple to allow third party payment systems of the practices I mentioned above weren’t so common.
I think this ignores one of the main benefits of JS based page rendering.

In the days where I worked on PHP apps, all rendering was done on the server, and that came at a great cost regarding server side processing and the complexities of peak load times, along with some pretty hairy test cases.

With everything rendered in js, you are mostly just transferring static assets, so the browsers are doing the heavy lifting for you. The only things that end up taking up server CPU cycles and system memory were API calls that are easy to test, debug, and optimize. Also, those API calls can be cached, and become static assets for high traffic apis such as ones accessed on the front end.

If you do it all on the backend, you are doing all the rendering work, and it is hard to split off and optimize processing time for things.

Finally, for testing, it is really easy to unit test an API, and for javascript frontend work, there doesn't seem to be the code regression type bugs that are so time consuming, but when you mix the data api stuff with the front end rendering, unit testing becomes a big mess.

Bloat needs to be thought about, especially for limiting bandwidth, but just for curiosity, I checked out my own website which was using React and a bunch of libraries, and it was only 500K. This is about half the size of the banner image on that article. Some libraries are much larger than React, but going JS free and losing the power React gives you doesn't seem like a good trade off.

Of course if you get some happys from being an ultra-purist, then I get that, and that is priceless. From a practical perspective though, this seems misguided.
Ha-Joon Chang, mentioned in my commentary, is probably among the best-informed modern scholars on the dynamics of the free trade debate. I'd shared the item with him. and he was kind enough to reply with thanks, though I'm not sure if he's made use of the example.

The whole notion of narrative and its power, especially contrasted with discrete facts and fact-checking, is another area I've been exploring, arguably under the sscope of my blog's purview (intentionally both broad and vague, a blessing and curse).

Will be interested to see what the standard range pricing ends up being, they would really be on to something if they could make a version of this that is closer to Model 3 pricing. It seemed weird to me that when other car makers are abandoning the sedan style entirely that Tesla would pick it for it's stab at a more affordable model. As a city dweller that still needs to tote around kids / pets / supplies a hatchback / crossover is a great combo of utility and not being ungodly large.

You see this with grown up devs too. Many of them have only ever learnt to code with a full suite of build tools such as web pack, grunt and npm. They seem lost without these things and only a few really know what's going on under the hood. The best devs I've worked with are feel comfortable getting things done even when those tools are taken away.

One thing that I know many parents realize is that our kids are incredible “sponges”, they really do look to you as to handle situations.

It follows then teaching/modeling how to calm is so important.

This also however reminds me how it is also the reason why it isn’t bad to “disagree” in front of the kids (Assuming you and your significant other can do so constructively) [1]. It is the idea of showing them how you work through conflict, and resolve it in a meaningful way.

If you don’t show them how the conflicts get resolved, how will they ever learn? More importantly how will they handle their own conflicts in productive way?

To be more elegant, you can remove the "dp" array. If you want to keep track of the full list, then you only need to keep track of "dpl". Here is code that I wrote and it works:

n = 10
denom = [1, 3, 4]
dpl = [[] for i in range(n+1)]
def f(n):
if dpl[n]:
return dpl[n]

if n <= 0:
return []

ans = list(range(n)) # this is the max size possible
for i in denom:
if n-i >= 0:
new = f(n-i) + [i] # append i to the end of the array
if len(new) <= len(ans):
ans = new

dpl[n] = ans
return ans

if __name__ == "__main__":
sol = f(n)
print(sol)

Plenty of them don’t require an internet connection. My Philips Hue and Harmony hubs are both on a VLAN which blocks all outbound traffic (save for MDNS reflection across LAN subnets so they can still be discovered from other subnets).
I’m not seeing the connection here between DP problems or pointers indicating great engineers. I’ve worked with people who were great at programming problems but couldn’t actually solve real world problems without step by step guidance, folks who cannot communicate at all with the team or with product people, folks who have a terrible work ethic, etc. The ability to solve DP would be nothing but noise if we were to go back and time and hold these interviews differently... and to be honest, we almost always had at least some recursion or DP problem. All it really did was bias our hiring towards grads fresh from school.

Regarding understanding pointers... you may as well use the candidates understanding of object oriented programming or knowing how to test their code. Pointers seems like an arbitrary litmus test, and it comes off as you feel like understanding pointers make you special when it really doesn’t.
As a counter-opinion, I strongly encourage people to consider Germany where the law ensures your rights as individuals are respected by corporations, regardless of where they are domiciled, and protects people in all circumstances (public health insurance, generous jobless benefits, good work/life culture).

I'm of the opinion that the effect of lobbying is tiny. Lobbyists are communicating with representatives about policy...something that every organization should attempt to do. Politicians rely on lobbyists to inform their decisions.

The real culprit in the pervasive corporatism in the US is campaign finance. Quid pro quo is the name of the game here. Politicians know that if corporations aren't helping them get elected that they will be helping their opponents get elected. It's a hell of a lot easier to say no to a lobbyist than it is to a campaign donor that could easily turn on you. If we banned corporate lobbying, Congress would simply make more uninformed decisions, but banning corporate campaign finance would eliminate an incentive for deliberately bad decisions.
The gain is this: it doesn't produce a car that Toyota doesn't sell. That is if Toyota sells 90 cars they make 90, if they sell 100 they make 100. If gas is cheap they can make more gas guzzlers that consumers want, if gas it cheap they switch to efficient cars. In a traditional line you make the same number of cars every day. If consumers wants something else - too bad for the line, either you stockpile cars and hope they sell before you clearance them at a loss; or you shut down the line and produce zero - too bad for the customers who do want that one.

Note that this is less efficient if you correctly forecast how many cars of each type you sell. An assembly line optimized to produce a lot of one car is cheaper IF you actually sell a lot of those cars. Which way to make the trade off is a complex decision with pros and cons. As technology changes different factors become important and the best changes.
iPhone didn't go from 30%+ US American solar panel marketshare (SolarCity circa 2015) to 9% marketshare. Tesla is being a very, very poor steward of SolarCity's business.

https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/sunrun-beats-ou...

Sunrun is now the #1 solar company in America, because its offering better tech these days. Also, SolarCity lost its deal with HomeDepot, and the Gigafactory2 (Solar Panel Gigafactory) is idling / wasting money.

All in all, Tesla is running SolarCity very poorly, by any measurement. You can only buy SolarCity products from Tesla stores, and those few Tesla stores are closing down (or maybe not, depending on the mood of the company...)

> People do care about looks, and personally, if people buy a solar roof because they think it looks cool, I'm glad to see more people buying solar.

Virtually no one is buying Solar Roof. Last time I checked, the number of installations was under 1000, maybe under 100. There's no market for $100,000+ Solar Panels that fail to generate electricity.

EDIT: Looking into it more: the Solar Roof does generate electricity decently. But to make it fit and look more like a normal roof, almost 60% of the tiles do NOT generate electricity. Any tile that needs to be cut to size is a pure-glass tile without any solar panels inside of them. This means that you get far less solar at far higher costs than a typical installation.
Well, I would like to get a Model 3, yet I want Tesla to get glitches out of their production first. I am sure v2 will be much better (sw/hw issues, trim quality, gaps etc).

And then they need to start all over with Model Y. What quality expectations are there?
Yep, that's the whole problem with this "follow your passion" BS. I'm the opposite: I work in a tech job on something I really don't care much about, but the pay is excellent, and the stability is actually pretty good too. I work 8h a day, I have an easy commute, I don't stress about money. I have a pretty easy life that way. But it also feels pretty empty in some ways, but the way I see it I've removed what for me was a big stressor in my earlier life. Maybe later, after I've saved up a lot, I can think about doing something that brings me more fulfillment, but for now I just concentrate on enjoying my free time, and look at work as just that: work.

I also look at the janitors in my building when I leave work in the evening, and remind myself that they're not following their passion either. Most workers do not get to do anything that really excites them. So I count myself lucky that I can do something that doesn't ruin my health or make me hate life, and I can get paid well for it, so instead of worrying how to pay rent, I can worry about less urgent things like what to spend my weekend doing. Plus, with my free time (since I don't have a job that's overworking me, like some people), I'm free to pursue my other passions there.

While it's possible that Tor's stated mission was a smokescreen, I think it's much more probable that it as created just as its creators said, as part of information assurance (i.e. allow dissidents and journalists to get information out of repressive regimes).
Regardless of whether you believe Youtube FB and Twitter "should be allowed" to remove such videos from their platform, the reality is that some percentage of people will continue to use their computers to host and view these videos.

Whether that is on the clear web or dark web is debatable, but it would be impossible to fully censor any file 100% of the time.

And if it isn't on the internet, it'll be on the sneakernet.

> Heck, the author praises Rust and it's memory safety, but then proceeds to criticise Rust's compiler because, as he puts it, the compiler will stop you from doing unsafe stuff again and again. Isn't that the whole point?

Rust ensures that all valid rust programs are safe, but this does not mean that programs that are difficult to express in rust are unsafe.

Consider how future improvements to rust may make some previously difficult to express patterns easier. I think non-lexical lifetimes would be one such example. You could imagine that someone who learned on a future version of rust might be similarly annoyed at compiler errors when working with an old version of rust that's more limited in what things can be expressed and understood as safe.
