Hahaha, I know this book will show up soon or later. I haven't finished the book yet. But the book is very informative and easy enough to be read.
That article might be dated considering it's only got an estimate for 2010 and I don't see a published date. And that vertical axis seems to be representing different things, or is the remainder rural?

Anecdotally I see more families in inner city Melbourne than there was a decade ago, but I also see things like kids sporting events becoming local affairs when they used to involve driving kids around the city a lot more, so some areas are definitely adapting to more inner city parents with no cars.
The same force that enables suburbs is the same force that leads to wasted space in America: cars, cheap oil, and large swathes of land.

Hi, I'm Lucian. I'm a generalist software developer with a focus on the back-end.

Tech I've built production apps with:
- Python, Django, SQLAlchemy
- TypeScript, Mithril
- Elm, Haskell, PureScript
- devops: Ansible, Vagrant, Docker, nix
- databases: PostgreSQL

Recent things I've built:
- I implemented a Python-to-PureScript transpiler in Haskell
- I rewrote with TypeScript and Mithril a browser extension supporting Chrome, Firefox and Safari

I value communication. I believe you can say what you think without meaning to hurt the other person's feelings. The goal of communication is to negotiate expectations.
Yes, along with complications that arise as you interact with your OS and other programs.

This is a much better explanation of the problem with estimates than my analogy :)

Especially this part:

Professionals have found it's often easier to refuse to provide estimates than to fight over high-confidence estimates or educate stakeholders in interpreting probabilistic date ranges. Not estimating saves lots of time, too.

That was a stupidly long article, repeating things a lot of people already knew, for that little bit of information...
Yeah considering May 2019 iso takes 26.6 gigabytes post install and updates I'm having a hard time believing this excuse. This is a system with no additional tools by the way, no python, no office, no nothing. Just straight up windows install -> check updates & wait.
Even if that were true, fixing the kind of irrelevant bugs you describe would do far more damage to the games industry due to the cost of development (and I’m being generous here because I don’t even believe your claim that running sideways against a wall has ever caused a game studio to go bust let alone cost billions in lost sales).

You seem to believe this notion that it is possible to write bug free code. Which suggests to me you’ve never written anything serious because you’re comments are textbook examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Hi, my name is Guillaume, I am a passionate self-taught full stack developer (former lawyer). I did so many different things that I like to describe myself as a Swiss army knife. My main language is Javascript but in the past I also managed stacks on AWS or GCP, developed a small game in Unity, learned a little bit of machine learning (with Python), designed pixel perfect icons...
What I would like: solve interesting problems within a great (remote) team.

I am wondering which of these are "solid" enough to be considered? I am asking because of the "replication crisis" which affected also Kahneman et. al.

EDIT: I am genuinely interested in knowing, since it would be helpful to know which of these are reliable - in order to change my behavior accordingly.

what's unfair about corporation tax

It's easier for big companies to avoid it giving them an unfair advantage over their smaller competitors.

Also, at least in the UK, it's often used as a way for employees to avoid paying income tax. The tax authorities have been trying to stop this for years with questionable success.

I know the problem is real. But what is the point of paying attention to balloons if they only contribute to a negligible portion of the problem?
Yes!

"We have this problem, you see, where cells sometimes start to multiply aggressively instead of doing their job. That's a bug, the customers are complaining. How long will it take to fix it? What do you mean you don't know - not even a ballpark estimate?"

This looks great! I hope in the future you can integrate into home assistants, especially the ones coming around that are open source https://getleon.ai/.
Interesting, since I always have at least one terminal open, but opening an Electron app takes 5-10 seconds.
I imagine the reason you keep getting asked about the impact of a given bug is because fixing bugs is always (and should always be, given limited time) a value proposition where the time spent fixing has to be weighed against the improvement for the average player.
My guess is that this is related to the "exponential growth" of humanity
> Give that I do not know what exactly you mean with a functional universe, this may go totally into the wrong direction, but at least naively I see no problem for the rules to simply change in any kind of universe.

I'm sure that I don't know exactly what I mean, but I fully intend to find out.

A functional universe may be the only way to derive a Theory of Everything that is a) self-describing (and therefore recursively encodes all the "layers" simultaneously), and b) whose existence isn't rejected by the undecidability of the halting problem.

As to whether rules change; that might suggest that what we currently believe to be universal constants may not be constant, and that would be controversial besides.

> Would you mind elaborating this point?

I'm thinking directly of the arguments at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything#Arguments... (with the proviso that I believe Gödel's incompleteness theorem emerges as a corollary of Turing's proof of the undecidability of the halting problem).

> why would it be impossible for the gravitational law to become an inverse cube law tomorrow

Hard to rule out, isn't it? But in the circumstances I posit that we would not be around to perceive it. Hard not to consider one of the anthropic principles as a result. The proponents of the strong one might love the idea that a complex assembly of self-describing, self-evaluating functions is lazily evaluating the universe (but they'd be putting the cart before the horse)

> The only thing that matters is whether the speed of light is finite or not

To me the defining characteristic of c is that it is the fastest speed of propagation of evaluation, whether that is electromagnetic, or gravity waves, or any other of what we currently term the fundamental interactions. Agree, the term "speed of light" is misleading. But I went to school in a building named after James Clerk Maxwell and it's hard to give up.
It's magic because some frameworks that are used a lot offer quite a bit of functionality, terrible documentation and awful diagnostics, so when things go wrong your best recourse is randomly tweak snippets posted on stackoverflow by other hapless victims.
By who, for what reason?
I just recently stumbled across the "The Wichter" series and found it interesting. I haven't read all of them yet though. They sort of remind me of "Wheel of time" but with a sort of different twist.
It's black magic that summons spectres.

I think it is named after a 2002 study "Could a biologist fix a radio" which advocated that the current methods in biology were inadequate to understand a living body.
It was a plea to do more System Biology, but even if it is widely known it does not changed much the way biology is done.

There's a problem with this. See JB Rainsberger's video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSes_PexXcA
This reminds me of the 2004 Battlestar Galactica reboot. All of the ships in the fleet are modern and get hacked and taken over by an outside force. The "Galactica" is being decommissioned because it's old and it's systems are linked in with the rest of the fleet. Hence it is able to withstand the attack and save humanity.
Why did you choose one over the other?
Any unique insight?
Functional Programming in PowerShell
Thanks, this is a pretty great write up. It's not a langauge-war, the discussion is knowledgeable and pragmatic, and I like that you recognise that a language suitable for work might be different from one you'd use on a side project.
I'm always weary about having timers in a script, because it often turns out to not be the correct amount. What about something like:

- bookmark url in a specific "YouTube-dl" folder

- watch tht folder from a daemon

- when the folder changes, do the stuff automatically

I'm sure there's a way to read bookmarks from outside the browser ?

This sounds really interesting — do you mean on a whiteboard in the meeting room or bringing pre-prepped material?
What is this guy actually trying to say?
Look at this statement enough times over long enough period, and it starts making sense.

"Category" is that central thing of the science of nodes and arrows between them.

"Functor" is a mapping - a function - from a category to another category, where each node is mapped and each arrow is mapped according to node mapping. Like, if 1 in number category maps to A in character category, 2 maps to B, and there is an arrow 1->2 in number category, then this arrow should map to arrow A->B in character category.

"Endofunctor" adds that the resulting category should in fact be the same as original. So, 1->2 can e.g. map to 3->4 in the same number category.

"Monoid" is requirement that with the category we also have defined binary operation (let's call it X), that the operation is associative and also that category has "identity" node (let's call it I) - that is, for any A both operations A X I and I X A both produce A. It's like adding with zero.

Now, this is not enough to understand monads - but it provides a foundation for what those monads, mathematically speaking, are. Consequences of these definitions can lead far :) .
This has also been restricted heavily - the BSP - the central bank of the Philippines have put more regulations on offshore Chinese Casinos in PH and now requires identity of anyone whom wishes to deposit/withdraw cash via Casinos in Pasay/Malate, etc as of last year.

This was to deter of course money laundering - but this does not touch the issues that the majority of Chinese in the PH are on tourists visas illegally.

There is also massive speculation within business centers, e.g. Makati, Taguig - BGC, Pasay, Malate and it's going to province areas such as Cebu and Clark. Clark GLobal City is going to be rivaling BGC - Bonifacio GLobal city and the PH is really embracing the whole idea of BPO.

BPO in PH can be really good.

Real estate also is waaaay to overpriced, from 2016 to now, filipinos that acted first, like in every bubble are profiting and you can find many stories of people who put down the bare minimum and afe renting it out profitably.

The problem with that is - they used developer financing, which after 2-5 years there is a balloon payment. Typical terms are usually 50,000-75,000 peso "down" payment, 10-25,000 monthly payment for 2 years - which is just paying the "down" payment on the property - e.g. the developer gets income and the property appreciates in value.

Then at the end, or near, they need to grab a bank loan, and most banks in the PH are very VERY risk adverse and do not hand out mortgages easily, nor cheaply 8-15% normally.

So what you see often are opportunities to buy someone out and give them some money for their trouble. --- But this will soon cascade because:

1. There is no financial education in the PH on a standard level.

2. Developers of these condos push hard on sales and say it's "10k/month" pesos, which is ~$200 usd. The monthly income of a BPO "middle class" agent is 25,000 pesos. $500. Granted, in Business centers it's higher by 5-10,000 pesos for mid level workers and then specialized/niched/non-entry level it can be 50,000 pesos+ which just is $1000~ USD/month.

The average GDP per captia for a filipino is somewhere under $5600/yr.

The economy is also largely based on Remittances.

May be unreliable source, but it gives a good floor:

"These remittances from countries literally all over the world to where Filipinos fan out in search of work in services or industry were worth US$26.9 billion in 2016 - which was equal to almost one half (48 per cent) of the $56bn of total merchadise exports during the year."

https://www.thenational.ae/business/remittances-remain-cruci...

tl;dr bubble is going to come, Philippines is going to get owned by China.

And I didn't even talk about Duterte, Drugs or the ever right winged spectrum the Philippines is moving. More fun reading can be found by typing into google "Commission on Human Rights + Duterte + 1000 pesos" 1000 pesos is $20 USD.

I'd have to recommend 'A deepness in the sky' and 'A fire upon the deep' by Vernor Vinge. Both really good science fiction books where your initial perception is slowly shown to be incorrect as more details appear about the characters, and with great storylines. Despite being thick tomes with small print, I got through both reasonably quickly as they were so addictive to read - 'just one more chapter', etc...

The Rust stdlib is specifically intended to be as lightweight as possible (while still providing those idiomatic abstractions that might be needed throughout the ecosystem, e.g. std.future) in order to avoid the Python "dead batteries" problem.

What the Rust ecosystem is still lacking is a quasi-standard "Rust Platform" of best-practice library components where the community can freely deprecate something when a clearly better replacement comes along. There are a few "community" websites that try to provide guidance wrt. some parts of the Rust ecosystem, but nothing that feels even close to official or consensus-driven.
