I never got past 30,000. I'm sure there are applications where it could have meaning but I started noticing completely different performance trends. Certain ways of writing the code would work better at 30,000 but be slower at 500. Ultimately it seemed fruitless as increasing amount of effort is spent in the DOM. The amount the JS matters is so small. On one hand even 10k is too many rows as you'd likely use windowing.

Instead I've been going the other way. Using less rows but using Chrome to throttle CPU. This lets you focus must more on what can be done in the JS.
I read "The Personal MBA".

I honestly wouldn't recommend it as a purchase. It's mostly definitions that you can skim through in an afternoon. There is a lot of pseudoscience/broscience in it, and the info on nutrition is wrong. Most of the important info of the book is in/only the first chapter.

I'm not advocating for an MBA either, but I think you'd get more value from the MBA network of a good program than a $20 book.
It has nothing to do with competition. The biggest barrier is cost. ILL is one of the most expensive services libraries provide.
Nobody advertised as much. 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes, and it's your own fault to consider otherwise. You're fighting a lost battle anyway, even (American) CS folk can't ruin metric prefixes in the long run, though it's a shame they tried.
I think mlthoughts2018 may be saying that he finds the advantages of a good "read-edit-test loop" to be more valuable than a compiler that catches type errors?

It is certainly valuable. A good REPL is completely fantastic for prototyping and debugging. Being able to change how your program works while it's still running and has all its data loaded is great compared to a classic edit-compile-run cycle where you've got to get your program's data re-loaded each time.

But I don't see that this has much to do with compilers versus interpreters, or even really dynamic versus static type checking...

- There are REPL-based environments with integrated compilers, and there are compiled languages with REPLs bolted on top.

- Good REPL support is surely more challenging for languages with strong static typing. After all: what does it mean to redefine a type? what happens to the functions that are using the old definitions? what happens to the instances of that type that are already alive in your program? But these problems all exist in dynamic languages too, it's just easy there to sweep them under the rug by treating them as yet more run-time errors.
Cops are not afraid of gay people, that's a ridiculous notion. They don't stop every drug user on the streets because they have better things to do unless you're about to hurt someone.

The time and effort spent booking and releasing isn't worth it, especially with a "tweaked-out tweaker" with "disgusting cuts on your hands and feet".

If you're free and clear now then maybe you should go for a ride-along so you can see exactly what they encounter daily and how they do their job.
You wouldn’t be surprised to learn that an iPad cost less than a cheaply made screen with lower resolution, smaller size, without things like wifi, gps, battery, and ssd storage?
Yeah me too!
But I wonder how it'll hold up in some actual code scenarios where not everything is chained neatly in a function. And I could rewrite that, but that might be worse.

If you want to do something with the intermediate results (e.g, the functions return more than just error) this will not be possible..

resourceName, err := connection.getName()
if err != nil {
// handle
}
fst := strings.Split(resourceName, ".")[0]
sendTime, err := connection.findSendtime(fst)
if err != nil {
// handle
}
// do something with sendtime and call new func.. you get the point

EDIT: Fix some mistakes in my example code. Obviously fake example though :)
This is what the new Apple TV channels thing is trying to solve for while also contributing to the problem :-)
Because it has value? If you have something that you don't want and someone else wants to buy it (and there's no obvious fraud involved), it's a trivial decision.
Let me clarify: my home page feed doesn't have any clickbait. The suggestions below videos still have some spam, but it's usually related to the video somehow. I rarely look at them anyway.
many poor are not in debt at all (no access to banking services, period), and it is totally insane to think the rich are not in debt. They may not be in debt directly, but most if not all complex investment and risk mitigation strategies are strictly dependent on a lending entity that distributes debt at low interest rates (shorts, options, futures, etc)

Even when the poor are in debt, the debt is usually short-term, and high interest rate, which is practically not eased by inflation. The easing of the debt burden by inflation implicitly assumes that wages keep track with inflation, which they do not, empirically, but arguably by design as well:

https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/13/the-case-for-hi...

"Even in the long run, it’s really, really hard to cut nominal wages. Yet when you have very low inflation, getting relative wages right would require that a significant number of workers take wage cuts."

Keynesian (and presumably MMT, I'm not sure) depends on the concept that the Phillips curve is a thing. But the mechanism for the Phillips curve to be a thing depends on wages not keeping track with inflation. In other words, you cannot claim that inflation reduces unemployment without also implicitly accepting that inflation is designed to cheat the poor out of their wages.
The major crisis in university CS Ed is that there are nowhere NEAR enough qualified professors to teach all the subjects. There will not be enough in the next 5 years, assuming there is no radical change in qualification expectations. There are simply not enough PhDs being granted to keep up with the demand of students, and not enough students want to stick around and teach when they could be making tons of money in industry instead.

Universities have a short list of options. Having instructors who are smart and understand the material but may not be masters of it? That's a really good situation to be in, compared to the worst case scenarios. Sure, maybe Mark doesn't feel comfortable live coding in front of a classroom for web dev (a skill, by the way, that changes dramatically every year). But he's someone who cares about teaching, plays around with his teaching strategy, and is smart (I mean, he's freaking Mark Guzdial). With those three facts, his students are in a significantly better situation than the average university class.

I had to teach "Intro to Algorithms" the past two semesters. I got an A in that class when I took it, and I'm able to solve most problems from the textbook. Does that mean I can stand up in front of the class and solve any question from the textbook? Absolutely not. Does that make me less qualified than Skienna or Djikstra? Absolutely. Does that mean I can't teach the class? I don't think it does. I can build and grade assignments, I can lecture in class, I can answer most reasonable questions that students have, and I can build good exams that fairly measure my students' knowledge. I'm sure my students would prefer to have an instructor who can do all of those things and also be able to perfectly answer any possible Algorithms question they may have. But unfortunately, that person doesn't exist at University of Delaware - or if they do, then they're teaching one of the other required courses, and we couldn't spare them to teach Intro to Algorithms. It's just the way things are with hiring. I don't think my students' careers are going to suffer because I can't whip out a proof for the reduceability of Vertex Cover to 3-Sat live in front of them.

Ironically, I would feel extremely confident about live coding for a Web Dev course. Hopefully I get a chance to teach one at some point, because I'm pretty sick of teaching Intro to Algorithms :)
I support the fi.co/fast, but I personally think it's a bit too in favor of the startup, and real world advisory agreements may require much less effort from the advisor.

For example the 1% is at idea stage and requires 20h/mo = avg 1h/day, which is an insane amount.

It's more realistic to have a consistent 30min call/mo, and maybe a few extra hours when the advisor is really needed, for example if you're brainstorming an idea, or executing on a launch. And maybe it's worth giving them a 0.5% even for this apparently small amount of time.

That's also more realistic for you, because you want to be prepared to talk to your advisors, and having too many interactions is just too distracting.

Vesting, I've seen it many time as 2y no cliff vs the classical 4y + 1y cliff for employees/founders. If you know the advisor already and she already provided value, you have no reason to require a cliff.

Again, I support the fi.co/fast, and I'm not saying to not go with that as a start, mine are just negotiation points to close a good advisor. Finding good advisors is hard, they might have little time, and they may refuse the engagement if it seems too heavy from the get go.
Apple operates on orders of magnitude larger production runs than custom built products just for aircraft fitouts. I suspect the margins are generous, too.
Caffeinated drinks (eg tea) should not be used as filler. They are drugs like any other over-the-counter drug, and should be used as such — when you need them.
while literally sitting on the toilet, the following names come to mind:

physics: issac newton, gottfried Leibniz, george lemaitre, james maxwell, lord kelvin,j. j. thompson ...

biology: gregor mendel, pasteur, francis collins...

there are rather a few very big names who are Just Fine doing both.
The more you offer the more you need to tie it to deliverables.

There are limitations on what a person can do without a license to raise money on contingency but you can set goals of X number of introductions to venture capitalists as a criteria for earning equity.

I tend to like offering 1-3% to a really accomplished person if it's very early and they can commit time to the company.

If it's later stage 0.25 - 1% is more common.

You can also pay an Advisor with cash and lower the amount of equity.

What do you need this person for?
The Chinese policy change referred to affected solar modules, not batteries:

"Although the LCOE of solar PV has fallen 18% in the last year, the great majority of that decline happened in the third quarter of 2018, when a shift in Chinese policy caused there to be a huge global supply glut of modules, rather than over the most recent months."
The fact that wind and solar don’t produce steady state power is completely irrelevant.

What power companies care about is the difference between the cheap energy sources production and demand. Night time demand is often so much lower than peak demand that it takes less peaking power plants to cover solars night time deficit than coals daytime deficit.

PS: The difference between winds minimum expected output and average output is also smaller than most assume. Locations that get more wind at specific times of the day are common and let you tailor supply and demand. Unusually high winds end up wasted, but discarding 5% of output does little to change the relative costs.

Feel free to ask me any questions about the project!

I hope to learn to code. I just got my rejection letter from a coding school ("overwhelming demand -- we had to turn down many qualified candidates"). My backup plan is some free online coursework and probably finding a city-building game to mod or tinker with.

When you say open source, does that mean it would be okay for me to futz with it for myself like that?

Thanks.
An iPad has economies of scale that probably aren't present to the same degree in those airplane screens. Plus, if you have only iPads you don't have to pay for a specialized infotainment system, which is also proabnly expensive for the same reason. An iPad is like $300 new, that's pretty cheap. The in plane entertainment has ads though, so maybe those bring in revenue that an iPad couldn't.
What are the chances that the execs were actually forthcoming with details of the company's investors, valuation, and acquisition? Most likely, the leadership knew the situation for quite a while and strung along employees with vague talk of a big acquisition, while deflecting specific questions. And of course naive new hires were told that the leadership's financial success was tied to the success of the company and that the leadership did not have a conflict of interest with regard to value of employee stock options. So the whole affair just seems very unethical.
When I sit in an economy airline seat I fairly quickly (within 30 minutes) begin to get severe aching in my glutes/upper hamstring area that persists for the duration of the flight. I know everyone complains about commercial airline seats, but what is it about airplane seats that does this?
> I’d like to know the words that might stop kids even giving a try once.

Just be honest about the risks of different drugs, rather than making a big deal out of drugs like cannabis or mdma that are not particularly harmful (and that there's a good chance they will know are not particularly harmful because all their friends are taking them).

Kids will listen to you because they respect your opinion, not because you say particular words. So make sure that your opinion is worthy of respect, and matches up with their experiences.
Yes, the pattern isn't useful for function calls that return results that are used as parameters in later function calls, which tends to happen all the time.
Wonderful talk. Thank you for sharing this.
This acts as an "employment benefit" for the government, like health insurance, paid vacation, and free lunch. Whether or not it's better than just paying people more is debatable - but you can say the same things about health insurance, paid vacation, and free lunch.

It's a little more complicated than employer-sponsored lunch because it applies to a variety of employers, not just the US government. And it targets a particular demographic (recent college graduates). But fundamentally it's (supposed to be) one more thing that humans factor into the decision of what sort of career to take.

There are reasonable arguments for and against the program, but soundbites like "they get to pay their debts like anyone else" do not really add to the conversation constructively.
My rule is to not take anything that is addictive. Stick with lsd, ketamine, shrooms, and occasionally mdma...
The iPads I've seen run a custom app to deliver the in flight experience including flight paths and streaming entertainment from the in-flight Wifi compelte with preroll ads. But you're defintely right about economies of scale.
This is great feedback. Using premade Component Libraries like that is not something I have with my professional experience so it wasn't something I was thinking about much. It would definitely take some doing to create a library like that. But it definitely seems like a good way to showcase practical usage.

I guess one of the reasons I'm so intent in fully supporting Web Components is so that it is easy to package up Components like that and it opens up the wide variety of options available regardless of framework.
Lol, not every tech worker works in SF/NYC. I work in Toronto, make more than what an average family in Canada makes, and still am no where close to $12,000/month before tax, forget about after tax.
You're right. I'll test it when I get a chance
Tiller actually doesn't even really look at the current state in the cluster. It basically just hard fails if the resource already exists when it shouldn't, but it doesn't attempt to reconcile manual edits to resources outside of the helm upgrade lifecycle.
Can someone please suggest a movie or a documentary which talks about the dangers smd facts of drugs like these so that I can watch with my family and make them aware?

Please don't suggest "Breaking Bad" as it is a series. I am looking for something 3 hours or less.

Language might be English or Hindi or south Indian languages.

My family members do know that some powerful addictive drugs exist out there. But I am very certain that they have no idea how much powerful and how much addictive.
I don't come across discussions or news articles (talk about the filter bubble) in the kind of social media friends circle and communities that my acquaintances frequently visit. (This is one of the very few cases where I am thankful that filter bubbles exist)

I am aware only because of hacker news and reddit (which others around me don't use)

I am aware that just because I don't hear about it, will not mean that things like these doesn't exist around me. It does exist and any of us can get influenced anytime.

With that context, I would like my friends and family atleast aware once of the intensity of the global risk snd problem, and it will be best to do in the form of video, movie, documentary.

So can someone suggest me please?
This is exactly why I quit playing as well.
I like them. United overseas flights have a pretty good movie selection that always includes at least a few favorites like 'Arrival'. The software and hardware in seat-back screens has also gotten vastly better over the last 15 years, so they are now responsive and easy to use.
Same goes for me and 787s. A sad day was when they started to go 10 abreast on the 777s. Airbus planes (350, 380, and 220) seem to have more seat width than their Boeing counterparts.

I would like to counter with my C++ way of doing error handling without
exceptions:

if (!func1()) return false;
if (!func2()) return false;
if (!func3())
{
err = get_error();
...
}
if (!func4()) return false;

Each function sets a global exception-like error object which can be
inspected by the caller if the function signaled an error (like
returning false in this example):

Of course you need thread local variables for this. Not sure if this is
a problem for Go or in general...
Same with other Cancel examples. The advice is not good!
Yes, you can futz. Here is the license https://github.com/citybound/citybound/blob/master/LICENSE.t... Read about it here https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.html

Having a license that says you can go play with it doesn’t mean it will be straightforward as a newcomer to understand the code you find or to accomplish any particular goal with your fiddling.

I haven’t looked closely at this project, but I would recommend at least considering starting out fiddling with a simpler system, if you want to learn to code.
Amazing work!

Your statement says that you have actor-based simulation model that's inspired by erlang - is there a reason why you picked rust instead of a BEAM language for developing the backend? My guess would be performance, maybe?
Writing stateful code in Haskell is super clunky though. State monads and lens? - Yuck! I'd take an OO language over that mess any day.

That’s literally what the article is about. The article is not an editorial; it’s journalism. How is that misleading?
C# has the feature-bloat of C++, except with a garbage collector. (I wrote C# for 9 years and even when writing it 40 hours a week, I still had trouble keeping up with all the features that continually came out)
Every fitment will have been space- and weight-optimized, for obvious reasons, so you're already squeezed in that bit tighter than you might be in most other forms of public transport. Air pressure is also lower than normal, and you're going to be sat there for longer than usual... it all adds up, I figure.
Why stick with anything at all?
For me it is that my femurs cannot properly fit between the back of the seat and the front of the seat ahead of me.
There's a number of differences, including generics done well. The team behind C# seem really engaged and transparent. The latest C#8 brings non nullable reference types, similar to how Kotlin does it.
People with ADHD are expected to take those drugs for life. If that's doable then I really don't understand why it's criminalized so heavily.
I'm not affiliated with the author, but that is generally part of the definition of open source. Once you've downloaded the code, check the top of any source code file for more details about the specific license the author is using.
Thanks.

I don't know that I will even learn Rust. I have had a Python course recommended to me.

I just am trying to figure out what my options are. I've gotten serious push back at times for what I felt were innocent activities. Trying to ask the "dumb" questions in hopes of avoiding that.

The links are helpful. Looking them over.
Dalio seems to be aiming for the political center. Howard Schultz is doing the same thing. I wonder if Dalio is hoping for some sort of poltical appointment.
I don't fly much after returning to America. It's not the planes that bother me. I'm rather small and can fit fine into the seats. It's the fucking TSA, molest you to get on a plane bullshit.

I've flow through over 12 countries and America is still the only one where you have to take off your shoes at every airport. It's fucking bullshit.
In general, in the implementations I've seen, "link-time optimization" is a bit of a misnomer. It's more like a glorified version of `gcc -combine`. The "compiler" binary stuffs its half-finished results (IR) into fake object files, and the "linker" binary calls back into the compiler (built as a library) and sends it the IR from all the fake objects, which the compiler combines and builds into one giant, real object file. That object file is sent back to the linker, which goes on to do its normal job. (LLVM ThinLTO is a bit more advanced than that in terms of scalability and incrementality, but it maintains the same "hands-off" approach from the linker's perspective.) On the other hand, if the linker sees an object file passed to it is a real object, it doesn't send it to the compiler and handles it during the normal linking phase instead. And if you build a .s file, you always get a real object file, even if you passed -flto.

TL;DR: It doesn't affect it.
A really strange thing about Boltzmann brains is that if you suppose their existence, then the question "Am I a Boltzmann brain?" becomes complicated. It makes sense to ask "Is there a human thinking the thoughts I am thinking?" and "Is there a Boltzmann brain thinking the thoughts I am thinking?", but if you suppose the answer to both is yes, then when you ask the question "Which one am I?", there's no pure logic you can follow within your mind to answer that question, because both the human and the Boltzmann brain are in the same mental state and any logic either of them follow will be followed by the other, and any logic that comes up with a definite answer must be flawed because it comes to a wrong answer for at least one of them.

Of course, it's not particularly useful to consider the Boltzmann brain version of yourself because a Boltzmann brain's decisions don't have any consequences. Time is better spent considering decisions by the consequences of the human taking them. Maybe this implies that you should choose to define "yourself" to refer to both your mental state combined with the ability to make decisions of consequence, and then you can safely disregard the strange kinship you may have with a Boltzmann brain. Though now this line of thought invites interesting questions about how to define what makes a decision consequential, and what exactly makes human decisions consequential...
Sure, but their understanding of the world was different. Everywhere around them religion was important. That's not the case anymore. Furthermore, they also knew a lot less about the world in general, because such information simply wasn't available back then.
