You really learn to appreciate unit tests when writing algorithms based on heuristics. One heuristic can easily break another so unit tests become critical to avoid introducing regressions. However, BAD unit tests can definitely be a drag. But the remedy is not to stop writing unit tests, it is to write better tests! :)

I think temperature tolerance might be directly related to sex hormones. I'm on testosterone replacement therapy and when my T-levels are high I notice my temperature comfort range is 63-83. But when my levels fall because I ran out of a prescription my threshold changes to 68-78 a narrower band of comfort.

This is mostly the result of (a) voter-mandated, retroactive benefit increases and (b) courts forbidding the city (and voters) from rolling back those retroactive increases. See

https://calpensions.com/2017/07/03/san-francisco-pension-deb...

The following case relates to just one particular benefits measure:

City leadership itself has been relatively fiscally responsible. For example,

https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/SF-taking-steps-...

Which is actually quite impressive, IMO, because the pressures to spend are enormous, and the city does indeed spend quite a lot. The politics at the Board of Supervisors is intense and there's a large populist faction that would like to spend much more. But at the end of the day what really matters is who is elected to City Hall, and at least when it comes to fiscal responsibility Newsom, Lee, and now Breed put a strong emphasis on long-term budget viability. But sometimes--like with voter-mandated expenditures--their hands are tied. Mayor Breed opposed the recent Prop C which raised several hundred million in new revenue for spending on homelessness. (She supported a similar future ballot measure, but wanted to wait things out. Working under Mayor Lee she already had a sense of what was in the pipeline and wanted to see how those initiatives developed. And Lee and others were expecting another downturn very soon so were more concerned with shoring up the budget to avoid having to make deep cuts.)

EDIT: Also, the growth in healthcare costs is eating everybody alive. What should really worry people is whether California voters mandate single payer. Because California is limited in how it can control cost growth--most policy control resides in Washington, e.g. pharmaceutical regulation--it'll be a huge problem. But we won't be able to blame politicians for it.
Wow, that looks incredible. Thank you for linking it.
I can understand why you might find that a silly reaction. It is indeed obvious that there are many physiological differences between men and women. However, one reason I think people get worried about this kind of research is that it can be cited as justification for treating men and women differently in situations where it is certainly not warranted.

I'm not saying there's no value to research like this, but I also believe that if it makes some people uneasy, their fears come from a good place.
> This is true across a lot of options that are simple checkboxes in Windows/Mac (In Linux you need to install the right tool or desktop environment.

It's a simple checkbox if that checkbox exists. But that's true on Linux as well.

If it doesn't exist, with macOS at best there is an obscure plist file you can edit and at worst it's hard-coded in some binary you don't have the source for. With Windows it will almost always have some registry setting controlling it, but you can't plausibly claim that to be the user-friendly option.

Moreover, "install a different desktop environment" sounds like a big deal until you realize that is just a checkbox in the package manager.
https://my.charitywater.org/ has done an amazing thing in recognizing that a lot of people see this corruption and give up on the whole thing. They donate 100% of what you give. They get separate donations to cover operating costs, even using separate money to cover visa fees so that if you give 100$ on your credit card, 100$ goes to getting water to people. I find their work very impressive!

> After three years moving through 35 countries in Africa, this sums up my experience and thoughts on aid money. I have spent considerable time with a ton of UN and NGO people in many different countries, and heard plenty of great first-hand accounts of how things actually work on the ground.

I also worked in Africa (although in a more limited way than you) and I came to the same conclusion, it really was an eye opening. Actually our company which had absolutely zero humanitarian goals (and the CEO himself was very far from those ideals, he was just in for the money) was doing more locally than the vast majority of NGOs there.

How does Go create threads with no OS to call to do it? Also, how does Go open/read/write files and open/read/write/close network connections with no OS to do it? What about malloc()/dynamic memory allocation/heap, does Go implement its own? Does it have its own internal memory manager for that? How does Go know how much memory is available? I suppose you could call a hypervisor or some container API or something to do this, but I have no experience in this area...

Call me ignorant, call me racist, call me heartless, call me whatever you want. If another one of these housing complexes is proposed here, I will do my part to stop it. These individuals are currently smoking marijuana on the street somewhere, and that’s where they can continue to do it.

Actually, Michel Serres (an immortal/academician) wrote something on this subject one year ago : http://www.academie-francaise.fr/la-bataille-ideologique.

I have tried to translate the relevant paragraph (the 5th) below :

"I will finish with the words ending with “-eur”. Should we say “auteure” or “autrice” or “auteuse”, etc. ? The question doesn’t stand, since the words ending with “-eur” are statistically divided in two partsm, one feminine, and the other masculine: “la douceur” [“the sweetness”] and “le malheur” [“the misfortune”], “l’horreur” [“the horror”] and “l’honneur” [“the honor”]. Thus, “Madame Jacqueline Unetelle, auteur de ce livre” can be said without malice. This simplicity can be seen in the following example: since the growing feminization of the medical profession the “doctoresse” term tend to disappear. “Madame Unetelle, docteur généraliste” si getting more and more common. Which is normal for a word ending by “-eur”. The arbitrary decision to distinguish, amongst those words, the names of the roles from all of the others, shows a subtle hypocrisy, as it allow to impose the imperium which was insufferable before."
German actually has the Rat der Deutschen Sprache which is exactly this and makes exactly these decisions. As do many other languages.

The latest change they made was introducing the capital ẞ.
???? There is a huge gap between trying to influence the French language, and dictating it (forcing to use it). The Francophones at the end of the day decide what they use, they live as a free society.

I welcome people trying to creatively influence a language, whether they are normal people, cool teenagers, rappers and rock stars, Quebecois guardians of the French language, or people at the Academie Francaise.
I've worked on massive applications that were split between 3 projects in a single solution as well as the inverse.

It has nothing to do with the language. You can organize your code however you want, but overall it's a far better setup than many other languages that are folder or path based instead.

Harmony is an important concept in East and West -- and it has a much more specific meaning than "goodness."

It played a major part in western philosophy (Pythagoras and Plato), where it was hypothesized that a mathematical harmony pervaded the cosmos. The first empirical -- even scientific -- hypothesis testing investigated this idea [0] using proportional lengths of string and the thickness of bronze chimes. Contemporaneously in China, both Confucianism and Daoism treated harmony as an underlying moral/aesthetic principle. The union of moral and aesthetic harmony was described in the thesis of Francis Hutchison, who was both Adam Smith's doctoral advisor and one of the biggest philosophical influences on the American founding fathers. See for yourself! [1]

Harmony is not sameness -- it is diversity in unity. This is a key insight in both Eastern and Western philosophy. In the West, the connection to the mathematics of the harmonic series doesn't appear to be coincidental (harmonies consisting of notes that share harmonics) -- although I'd challenge anyone to make sense of it all! My point here is that there is a story worth learning more about. I'd argue that we need guiding philosophical principles -- and it is awfully nice that there is a scientific one that underpins some of the largest societies on Earth:

* The official principal objective of the Chinese government is the creation of a "Harmonious Society".

* The official motto of the EU is "In varietate concordia"

* The traditional (although unofficial) motto of the USA is "e pluribus unum"

* The official motto of Indonesia is "Unity in Diversity"

* And now this from Japan!

Not to say that these governments are necessarily aware of this history, but only that these ideas are very old, very core and very unifying.

"Station Keeping" is maintaining your position relative to the other cars around around you--and it's what most people do when driving.

Ever notice how a bunch of stupid drivers playing with their phones tend to lock to the same speed and wind up abreast of one another? Ever notice how you feel compelled to start rolling forward at a light even when it is still red simply because the car next to you started moving? When in fog, you are paying attention to lane markers if you can see them, but you are also paying attention to what the tail lights ahead of you are doing.

All of that is "station keeping".

And it's normally extremely important to give it priority--generally even over external signals and markings (a green light is only relevant if the car in front of you moves). It's the kind of thing that prevents you from running into a barrier because everybody else is avoiding the barrier, too.

Of course, it's also what leads to 20 car pile ups, so it's not always good...

Once you have the IMEI of interest you can find everywhere it has been and every number dialled, and all DNS requests and IP transfers. You just need a dialled number which has a plan attached and you can look up the phone book entry from that persons phone (though police would need a warrant for that).

I call bullshit. People smoke pot out in the open in San Francisco all the fucking time, in nearly every neighborhood, and have done so for many, many years regardless of their income level. For example: the Financial District at lunch. OTOH if "low income housing complex" is a euphemism for Eatsa then I'm with you.
For what it’s worth, Japan is not unique in using different calendars in different contexts.

There are several calendars in India, all based on the moon. In my state within India everyone uses the Gregorian calendar for most things except in certain cases. For example, no marriages happen during the month of Margazhi (December 15th - January 15th).

There’s no conspiracy in using a different calendar. It’s just a continuation of a cultural practice that hurts no one.

I think this is a really good idea and would probably make for a good small startup idea. For example, setup a charity where people directly donate to people and have the charity document everything with video/images and so on. People would definitely donate just so they can have the video/images of it (for social media) and for just overall feel good aspect of it. Just imagine how cool it would be if you could buy a goat for a rural impoverished African and get to see a picture of the goat and the person you helped. That would be pretty cool to me! I don't know why charities wouldn't already do this. Lots of people donate money out of personal benefit (the ego stimulation of knowing you're helping to make a difference in the world).
