Fun trivia I learned while ago.

So before computer assisted drafting/manufacturing showed up, it was quite common to see Rubber Mallet in use on the production floor of the expensive planes. Workers literally had to beat certain parts of the plane into place using Rubber Mallets.

That's one way of looking at it. Alternately, and just as valid if not more so, they're duty bound to do what's best for their constituents.

Ideally, that aligns with the wishes of the constituents, but the constituents may be ignorant, misinformed, or willing to cut off their nose to spite their neighbor. Arguably the main reason to have representatives vs direct democracy is that the constituents' wishes should not always dictate law and policy.
I'll be really surprised if they go 3 years before another offer.
After a bit of Googling, it looks a company has complied and packged rsync for Windows at a cost of $19 per license @ https://www.itefix.net/cwrsync

There are some really cool projects popping up with ReasonML - here are a few:

- A package manager like NPM, but for native code: https://github.com/esy/esy

- A fast Node version manager: https://github.com/Schniz/fnm

- A fast replacement for dotenv-cli: https://github.com/ulrikstrid/reenv

- A fast JS bundler: https://github.com/fastpack/fastpack

- A native language server: https://github.com/jaredly/reason-language-server

The OCaml language and toolchain is very powerful... and I do believe ReasonML makes it more approachable, at least for a wider audience of developers comfortable with JavaScript-style syntax.

You've gotta know how to filter on Upwork.

I hire a lot on Upwork, and have found excellent talent, with extensive experience, for my projects.

I've learned how to qualify candidates with a minimal process that has weeded out the "waste of time" people that I sunk a bit of time into when I first went there.

So count me as someone who's posting there that counts on expertise, and has been very happy with what I've found. That said, my clients would probably not know how to use Upwork effectively. Hence, me.
Right, but how about a stationary arm mounted on the back of a pickup truck? Or something. It does seem like a lot of the hard work here (balancing, not running out of space to zig-zag...) isn't obviously needed for the task.
They'd have to fly fully autonomously with just vision, which is pretty hard to do (though not impossible).

If such a vehicle could operate without infantry support, it might be worth doing the R&D.
Just to elaborate a little on my quick callout. Doing line oriented searches actually requires you to look at every character, if only to find all the line breaks.

Instead, treat the file as a collection of characters and just look for patterns. Which may include the line break character.

That make sense?

Edit: I should also add that you should look for burntsushi's posts. Turns out some of this had become out of date. And largely depends on size of what you are searching.

As a cyclist, I face a street crossing that's dangerous if I behave as a vehicle. So I ride a block out of my way, dismount, and use a protected pedestrian crossing, as a pedestrian pushing a bicycle. On the other side, I re-mount and I'm a vehicle again.

I avoid the same crossing when I'm on foot, even though it has a sign that says, "state law: stop for pedestrians in crosswalk." I have never seen a vehicle stop for a pedestrian in that crosswalk, even police. People who cross there either spend a long time waiting for a lull in traffic, or they dash frantically across hoping not to be hit by drivers who think the pedestrians are irresponsible for crossing there.
I'm usually on a bit of a different circuit than yourself, so there are a few variables in there as is.

I'm in Liberty Village where I never notice any issues and bus from there, up past King/Shaw, Queen/Ossington, Dundas/Ossington to Ossington Station. I debark at Sherbourne/Bloor and walk to Jarvis/Bloor. I think that stretch on Bloor is the only time I notice blips.

Last weekend I rode the King streetcar to Peter and walked north to Queen and didn't have any issues there, either.

Might be some hotspots around town, though.
You make a interesting point. I wonder if we've actually seen this in practice anywhere. Perhaps to avoid this, you receive a portion of the amount paid back to creditors equal to your percentage of debt owed?
I was diagnosed with temporal lobe seizures when I was a teenager. What you described is very similar to my experience ... with the aura as you sense the seizure coming on, followed by a period of disorientation and short-term memory loss. As I got older, I learned to sense them coming on, and at times felt as-if I could almost fight them back and prevent them from occurring in some instances, but maybe that was just me pretending I had more control over them than I actually did.

When they did occur, I'd find myself "detached" from whatever environment I'd been in, and then struggling to re-engage with those around me. Most-strange was that I found in some cases I'd not only forgotten memories but also feelings I'd had for others. Try re-learning that you love your girlfriend after a seizure.

I went through numerous EEGs, sleep-deprevation EEGs, MRIs and a slew of other tests and was able to regulate the seizures using medication. But it did impact my life. It prevented me from pursuing a career that required a clean bill of health despite having my condition under control with medication.

Later in life, when I was planning to have children, I worked with my doctor to reduce then eliminate my medication. Though there was no indication that it would cause a problem, it wasn't something I wanted to risk. I've been off of the medication for about 10 years and seizure-free for over 20 years - long enough where I've stopped keeping track.

I have no explanation for why I no longer have these seizures but I feel fortunate that it's something seemingly very much in my past.
> As a cyclist, I get to decide if I'm a pedestrian or a vehicle. I can pop on/off my bike at will

Keywords there being, on or off the bike. Off the bike, walking beside it sure, you're a pedestrian, on your bike, riding a vehicle.

>I don't always signal, because bicycles have this major flaw that your breaking/steering tools work best when you have both hands on the handlebars.

I don't always signal because cars have this flaw where you need your hands on the steering wheel and you have to take it off to flick the signal switch.

There are lights you can get to signal on bikes, if you're not comfortable signalling using your hands, maybe invest in one of those. It's just dangerous to turn in traffic without signalling. That shit causes accidents. I don't know the laws there, but here if a cyclist causes an accident because they turned without signalling, they're considered responsible the same as a car would be. Cops will also ticket you.

>Also, the lawless cyclist trope, while often true, is often a case of the lawlessness you are unfamiliar with.

I dunno about the trope, I was speaking from personal experience.

Honestly, I get pissed at drivers and pedestrians that do dangerous shit by breaking traffic rules.

>as someone who is literally making it easier for the cars on the road BY NOT DRIVING TO WORK, I wish I got a little respect instead of the barely tolerated contempt I get a lot of.

You're not a superhero by riding a bike. You're not making it easier, you're adding one type of obstacle for everyone to look out for. One that's small, fast and fragile and behaves unpredictably. Maybe instead of demanding respect from everyone, use situational awareness and understand people are probably pissed at you, because they're worried about killing you. Acting like you can just ride anywhere, anytime with impunity makes the act of not killing you more difficult.
That's romanticizing it a bit... there's been a ton of feature creep[1] and a fair amount of technical debt. It's just more manageable because they've contained the scope of most of the core utilities and packages better than most 'modern' software. Also, don't underestimate the value of having a relatively stable set of maintainers over long periods of time.

The Fastest Fourier Transform in the West (FFTW) library is an example of a ubiquitous software product using OCaml. The FFTW library is a C library, but it is in large parts generated by an OCaml program, genfft (from the FAQ http://www.fftw.org/faq/section2.html#languages)
I don't think this is a fair summary of what the Product Chief is saying. When people talk about the YouTube rabbit hole, they're talking about watching video A, which links to B, to C, etc. until they reach content considered extreme.

This is simplistic, but say all videos are on a 1-10 integer scale in terms of politics. YouTube always recommends 80% videos that are on the same value as the currently viewed video and 10% are one value higher and 10% are on one value lower. It doesn't push anyone in either direction. Randomly clicking on recommended videos will randomly move you up or down (and usually not move at all). But, no matter where you begin, you can always reach either end in 4 clicks - cue people talking about the YouTube rabbit hole.

But hey, maybe it's not enough to merely prefer content that isn't extreme, what if we wanted to actively push people to the center? We could recommend 80% videos that are one value higher or lower towards the center spectrum (or the same is the viewed video is at 5 or 6), and 10% videos that are at the same value, and 10% towards one value away from the center. Randomly clicking on videos _will_ bring most viewers to the center in this system.

But we can still reach the extremes in just 4 clicks. This is why complaining that users can go down a rabbit hole feels disingenuous to me. They always will be _able_ to do so - unless YouTube never recommends videos that aren't more centrist than the video being viewed.

I suppose YouTube could just ban all videos that are at 1 and 10 in our spectrum, but that's basically just calling for censorship. And not to mention, 2 and 9 will just become the new definition of extreme.

Edit: many of the comment lead me to think that I haven't made what is and isn't in scope of my comment clear. Allow me to point out two things in particular.

1. YouTube already does prohibit hate speech. How well it enforces its rules is a valid point of discussion, but not what I'm talking about here. I'm pointing out that the ability to get to the extremes of what _is_ allowed on the platform through recommendations should not in and of itself be a point of concern.

2. I'm also aware that sometimes the recommendation are very messed up in context of the current video - e.g. shock videos getting recommended to kids. But this is more about trolls deliberately gaming the recommendation algorithm, which I see as a distinct issue from the alleged rabbit hole pattern of recommendations.

I know that.

The problem is that the CLR comes with the the C# memory model and garbage collection.

If you don't want that, then what's the point of the CLR? You can't use most of the .Net API without objects and garbage collection.

That basically rules out any kind of real-time application. The more modern garbage collectors allow soft real time applications, but you still can't do things like use the CLR to run an airplane.

If you want to use the CLR for a real-time application, you basically have to replace most of the .Net API with a completely pointer-based version, and consider implementing your own real-time memory management model.

At that point, you might as well target your language to compile natively and use standard libraries in the operating system.

You're misreading it.

The flag is "Related to politics or issues of importance", not "national importance". Even then it could just be of importance in that targeted country.

Facebook is using this as a flag for sensitive content to viewers, for everything from Happy Holidays to Yoga, which has a philosophical and religious history beyond stretching-in-different-poses. For example, this watch ad with Santa Claus gets flagged the same way: https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?active_status=all&ad_t...

I am not saying these are correct classifications, but if you managed a billion-person social network, then it makes sense to cater your ads to as many people's viewpoints as possible.
I agree completely, but this was touted frequently during the referendum. The general Leave campaign spiel was that somehow the neighbouring EU countries were leeching money from the UK. A horribly misinformed argument yes, but that line of reason works for people who want someone else to blame for their financial woes.

Unfortunately, that kind of propaganda is incredibly convincing to a person with 0 political or economic education and becomes an issue when they have the same hard voting power as a person with a PhD or other form of expertise on the said topic. The only way the vote could have changed is if there was more effort from the Remain campaign, people were better educated on the aforementioned subjects, or the voting system for the referendum was based on a technocratic system (more of a think-tank).
are you serious? there is no way to do research on massive amounts of data at the public level anymore. if you want to change things its in the private. + money is also good

It almost sounds like you're dealing with more than one person.

There are plenty of moronic cyclists. I've come across several riding in the middle of the wrong side of the road around a blind corner! But putting them all in a group, judged by its worst members, is simply a step on a path to dehumanizing them.

In general, drivers suck too. Try walking next to a road with puddles and witness the sheer number that think it's appropriate to continue at their entitled speed and spray road water all over you. That's basic assault with damages, but for driving it's just business as usual.

Ultimately, people in general are just fucking morons that don't pay attention or predict how their actions will affect others. But if you latch onto that as justification for your own antiempathetic behavior, you're just contributing to the problem.

In Colorado, most of the laws are written in a way that basically says you may ride that way as long as it doesn't impede the flow of traffic [1]. And if you are being overtaken by a car you are supposed to move as far to the shoulder as possible.

No they aren't. Just look at affluent areas like Palo Alto which have fallen year-over-year: https://www.zillow.com/palo-alto-ca/home-values/ (or Atherton for that matter: https://www.zillow.com/atherton-ca/home-values/)

I'm skeptical IPOs will affect the market outside SF or Northern San Mateo county, given almost all are SF-based companies [with your windfall, you are going to buy yourself a crap commute in a more boring area?]. Note that SF rents and pruchase prices have gone up a bit YTD, but other areas are flat to falling.

(Finally, people/the media are way over-speculating how many people are going to start buying homes after an IPO. From my experience, going funemployed for a year or so was a more common thing to do with the windfall)
From what I've heard from everyone everywhere on HN, banks are willing to give you a loan knowing you have a lot of stock in a big tech IPO. (Even if you can't liquidate for 6 months) I don't know how much you need but presumably more than the home is worth.

I'd love to hear some real world examples of people doing this. I'm curious if you need 20% down because that alone will put most of these folks who have been living off their salary alone out. (You can't easily save 20% down in less than 10 years for a $2-4m home on a single startup salary)

> In a Dutch auction, typically new shares aren’t created, and instead existing investors sell shares. This means that the company doesn’t get any of that cash on it’s balance sheets. This is done when the company is profitable, or has enough cash reserves to become profitable in the near future and the investors then want to get all of that pop by offering those shares directly.

This is wrong. Typically its still the company that sells shares. Infact Dutch auctions vs typical IPO's are orthogonal to who sells shares.

In both case the vast majority of the time its the company selling shares from its float.
