No, I assure you sane conclusions can be reached with these discussions...

It's just another conversation style, I don't need to hear the end of your sentence to know the point you are making, at a certain point the end of the sentence is likely fluff. If the end is important, I'll still hear it, and if it changes what my response is, I'll probably stop and react mid-stream.
To be fair, reporting that cleanup also failed with a different error is inherently complicated, and so many people got the try-finally version wrong that Java finally added try-with-resources and Throwable#addSuppressed.
She should start an urgent care clinic in an underserved, but not totally economically depressed region. She will almost certainly earn multiples more than she made on salary.
Define "Trusted". What does "Trusted" mean? Originally the blue-check mark system was to say "This person that had the handle <X> is really <X>". Now it is more of a status symbol e.g. there are certain people that have had their check-marked removed because of what they have said on the platform. The same will happen, doesn't matter if the site is legitimate i.e. not a spammer, not someone that abuses the algorithm, but it will be due to the "content".

People these days are constantly under attack for what I call "wrong think crimes" is where they disagree on a particular issue (almost doesn't matter what it is) and then they are attacked constantly by groups of individuals who think they are morally superior as they are "thinking correctly".

Any "Trusted" site will be treated the same way. Google will be pressured by a group to remove the trusted status, due to whatever politics are in vogue at the time.
For the subset of PDFs that are invoices, there's the data extractor project called invoice2data, which implements many of the ideas presented in the article.

Well perhaps that's the problem. I read a thoughtful if high-level piece about a technologist wrestling with difficult issues while trying to help her son, and came back to see a bunch of jokes based on the provocative title (which is typically picked by an editor not the author) rather than on the article.
During Black Friday, Amazon on its own represented a sizable, double-digit portion of all sales in the US. On its own.

Amazon doesn't need to be a monopoly to be an antitrust concern. It just needs to have a dominant market position (a monopoly is just a per se example of such).

Unfortunately it seems both countries (or large entities therein: US Politicians, Google, US Media, etc.) are in fact, allied, whether aware or not, with the Communist Party of China.

Seems we'd best be served to first collectively realize this. Then do as you suggest.
This is a great question. To be completely transparent, we are considering a flat fee because of the reason you stated.

We originally chose a percent fee because it was an industry standard model that many in the carbon offset space expect. However, we're learning that industry standard here does not mean it's the best possible option.

The big reason why a % fee is good is because for small donations (e.g. 25% of someone's footprint) it makes more sense to scale it. A $4 transaction cost on a $2 impact to the project is crazy.

The tricky thing about our cost structure is that currently we do not have enough revenue to cover our overhead expenses, so even if we're ignoring the per transaction cost we need to find a way to cover our overhead (e.g. a place for us to live so we can hack on this all day)
The naive part, then, is the idea that we can develop robust protections within our communities. At the risk of invoking "think of the children," our communities are ever-evolving, and the most vulnerable members are replenished regularly.

I'd love to believe that we could, as a community, make wise choices, but reality demonstrates otherwise.

I'm very much loathe to grant the government yet more ability to restrict content, but there is no doubt that television advertising bans on alcohol and tobacco are effective[0], so I definitely understand the desire to enact similar restrictions around unhealthy foods given their societal costs. I think the line is too fuzzy for me to be comfortable, but I'd rather go that direction than re-introducing tobacco advertising knowing that doing so will result in a reversal of the positive benefits.

It's probably about time that WebP should get promoted, especially instead of animated GIF. the libwebp library comes with a gif2webp program to make the conversion especially easy.

Just doing it now, converting all the animations to WebP makes it 1.6MB. and it works in all current browsers.

Why do you want to upgrade?

Absent any specifics, the baseline reason to upgrade is for security updates and compatibility with software you use. If you have that already, I don't see any reason to upgrade. A 2013 MBP is compatible with Mojave and is still receiving security updates.
pygraphblas author here. scipy.sparse and graphblas are superficially similar in that they provide a sparse matrix type, but scipy.sparse is oriented more toward mathematical matrix computation and provides a wonderful and huge bag of tools to work with, for example, solving and doing LU decomposition, see scipy.sparse.linalg.

graphblas provides a different bag of tools oriented toward solving graph problems, primarily around semirings and custom graph element operation. I don't think scipy.sparse, for example, provides a means for plugging in different semiring operations for computing shortest paths or max flow. On the other hand, graphblas does not provide decomposition or solving algorithms like scipy.sparse does.

It is my goal to make it so that scipy.sparse matrices, dense numpy matrices, and networkX graphs can be interchangeable used with pygraphblas in the most reasonably efficient way. This way we get all the tools in both bags. Would love to chat with more scipy developers to see where there can be unification.

UPDATE: it looks like there is some support for graph solving with scipy.sparse.csgraph, would be interesting to see how these compare to GraphBLAS based approaches!
Just so I understand, is Browsix running on top of WASI... or are you saying that Browsix will have an option to target WASI? Browsix looks pretty cool, although it's hard to wrap my mind around use-cases outside porting common C libs (like pdf editing).

I'm thinking that decentralized apps would be an interesting Browsix use-case where users can run the full app platform stack in their browser... or connect to dedicated self-hosting servers that are running the same exact code but as native Go/C/Node services.

> College is also where I learned this was considered bad practice / rude

I think it's important to note that it is considered bad/rude in most american culture. Manners are relative to the culture you are living in. This style is certainly not rude in Cuban circles, for example.

It's like how belching at a restaurant is rude in the US, but a sign of respect to the chef in Japan.

I personally don't think enforcing rules around roundabouts so I don't have the near-death experience I had the other day "a road to China". I actually love driving myself and don't particularly care about self-driving technology. But as far as I can tell it's not even possible for me, a reasonably fit human, to drive in way that prevents those risks. If we are not willing to tackle that and at the same time expect airliner reliability from self-driving cars then we've defined the problem as impossible.
You answered his question but didn't rebut his data, which shows that arts contributions are a small fraction of total charitable giving, almost half of which appears to go into services for people (health, education, human services), followed by religious giving.
> Not true, this is tracked by loyalty cards and to a lesser extent, by the credit cards that are used

Like I said, you're not obliged to be in a loyalty program, and you can buy in cash, debit card - at least in Europe that's pretty common.

Plus I didn't want to go through the whole type of sellers on amazon. You have:

Products sold by Amazon: these are all amazon brands + products from other brands (maybe this is the closest to the retailers)

Products Fulfilled by Amazon: Where amazon only deals with fulfilling and customer service (to some extent), and Shops pay referral fees and fulfillment fees;

And you have Fulfilled by Merchant: where people set shops and pay only referral fees (this is maybe the closest to set a quiosque in a mall);

So it's quite tricky, yet Amazon gathers data on everything.
Under your model it is you who is now employed by the government at the expense of your employer. Your employer wants to hire someone else but cant, so the government is preventing both your employer and this other person to work together.

A priviledge is not a right.

Volatile is a hacky way to avoid optimizations and plays hell with normal language semantics. For example, you can't memcpy or memset volatile pointers or pointers to volatiles.

Imo if you don't want the compiler to optimize something, tell it not to. For example in GCC:

__attribute__((optimize("-O0"), noinline))
void zero_memory(void* memory, size_t sz) {
memset(memory, 0, sz);
}

If you wanted to make that portable, there are equivalents in clang and msvc so you'd want to use some #defines here and there. Of course disabling optimizations/inlining in functions has a performance hit, but I think if you're so concerned with code being ignored the tradeoff is appropriate.
I think the problem with people with lower income buying crappy food boils down to the infrastructure they can afford for their food purchases.

If they rely on packaged food / edibles for everything, it’s probably because they don’t even have a good kitchen+fridge+storage space. Fruits and vegetables spoil easily, so it’s time consuming to keep bringing produce that’ll spoil most of the time.

So even if snap buyers can afford to buy produce in store, being able to buy stuff that won’t spoil, I think pushes them towards such foods
Pipelines are different than trains.

- They can leak much more in an unit time than trains... hundreds of thousands of gallons, and regulatory enforcement on leaks in the US is very weak because of corporate capture.

- They are built usually by legally-stealing land (easements, eminent domain) from people along the way.

- If they leak on people's land, they don't have much recourse.

- All the safety tech and building codes in the world don't matter if the operators don't really care about leaks because the risks of fines and lawsuits is so comparatively small.

There are hundreds of oil leaks per year, and they can be absolutely huge, but because they're usually in the middle of "nowhere," they rarely make the mainstream news.
The requirement you describe is often why convenience stores have a basket with one or two each of Red Delicious apples, bananas, and navel oranges, with a sign saying "fruit $2"

It the same sort of dodge as defining ketchup or pizza sauce as a serving of vegetables in school lunches. There's never going to be enough funding to enforce the spirit of the regulation instead of just the literal wording of it.

Each individual level of the skip list can be an array (as described in [1]), so yes, you still have a fair bit of pointer chasing, but the article goes into good detail all the tricks you can use to reduce it.

I think most binary tree implementations require pointers, so they aren't amenable to this type of optimization. I haven't implemented a skip list myself, so I could be wrong here and happy to hear about why if I am.

[edit to add]: I totally get why this would be applicable at Google. The part I find silly is that most companies other than the FAANGs usually just use libraries made by the FAANGs and don't have much reason to focus on this level of comp sci in their own interview processes, yet they still read articles like this and copy Google anyway.
What do you think about ntile.app as a platform for knowledgebase?
Hi community, I just added the upcoming page of ntile.wiki on producthunt. Сould you give me any thoughts about using such universal tools for creating team knowledgebases?
https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/ntile-wiki
This sort of investment is very cool! I hope to see it becoming more common.

We're focusing on direct offsets because we think long term we'll need a great market for carbon offsets and reduction. We already have too much CO2 in the atmosphere, so everything we can do to literally pull it out is necessary. Clean energy is great but I think we'll need something like carbon offsets/reduction in addition to it.
This one looks better:

When I did interviews, it had nothing to do with the person. I designed a standard test like for windows admins I would have them dcpromo, setup dns, setup ip address, install wsus on the alternate port. I only had 5 steps on the sheet. I was even upfront about that they can ask for any help or google it because I want to see their troubleshooting process.

The reality is that there's far more steps actually required than that. I want to see if they were going to go through all the details; ask what all the details were, etc.

But even more importantly, the entire time I'm talking video games and tv and movies and cars. I'm trying to distract them from actually doing the steps. Even better is that as the steps escalate, the more difficult to steps become until you make it to WSUS and you literally cant install wsus successfully. Ask Microsoft, not me, why wsus is so terrible.

The fun thing about this interview process is that it's not trivia bullshit. Like "explain the role of a windows server" or "what is a windows domain" or "How do you backup active directory" this is all ridiculous questions that dont gauge if someone knows anything about anything.
I think they are A/B testing it internally.
> The greatest failure was that the guards tried to go find the fire, wasting 30 minutes, instead of just calling the fire brigade immediately.

This is actually standard procedure in many places. Security guards often have x minutes to see if it's a false alarm:

* https://gps-securitygroup.com/the-role-of-security-guard-reg...

Non-residential buildings are often charged for false alarms, so the landlord may wish to first confirm if the fire brigade is actually needed. If you work in an office tower, or live in an apartment or condo, you'll often have multi-stage fire alarm system: you don't actually evacuate unless either (a) it's a confirmed real incident, or (b) the confirmation timeout has been reached.
>Last month, the Utica Observer-Dispatch reported: Fort Stanwix a $6.1M Economic Boon for Rome Area. That sounds good. That sounds really good. In fact, if I were still the same free market ideologue I was back in the day, the kind that looked at ratings agency reports and bond market yields as affirmations, I would say that this sounded a lot like success. Even if the fort was a big government project, now we’re seeing the free market respond and generate a whole bunch of economic activity. That’s good for Rome!

Not to be the guy that always jumps in to defend the market, but it sounds like this business park was a case of the government throwing away money and using the market to decide who would get to take it. The free market will eat up free money like nothing you've ever seen, which is why some of the worst failures have come from a well-intentioned government policy getting extracted like a natural resource.

It's a fallacy to think, "the market is like a friend, tax it and it won't help you, give to it and it will." The reality is closer to, "the market is an angry dragon that just so happens to be pulling your plow."
The phrase "watching TV" has lost all meaning.

If someone mindlessly flips channels all evening, watching hundreds of commercials and "whatever's on", I can see how that can be detrimental. For most of my life, that is what "watching TV" meant. I am amazed that anyone still does this.

But if someone watches a handful of shows they have selected that suit their particular taste, and then watch those shows at the time of their choosing and without commercials, the downside seems minimal. They are still "watching TV", I suppose, but it seems like an altogether different activity.

Based on a lot of the comments here it seems a lot of you don't understand what it's like to be poor, how soul crushing it is, how unescapable it is, how you have to make short term choices at the expense of the future just to survive.

A good example of this would be smoking, you know it's bad for you, we all do, it's an expensive habit and it's something people from poverty are more likely to do. Why you ask? Because they use it to keep going, it's a stimulant, it gives and extra bit of energy to keep going, to keep working those multiple shitty jobs with shifting hours, small breaks and soul crushing atmospheres.

It's hard to think about the future when you are being crushed by the present reality.

It's much the same with junk food. When time is the thing you don't have and money is the second thing you don't have. Cooking food, especially prep heavy food like beans that have to be soaked overnight, then boiled the next day, then if it's a large enough batch (which it would have to be for efficiency) you have to place it in containers, portion it out etc. We are talking about hours in a day that you don't have (made worse if you are raising a family, working two jobs, taking care of extended family, as many of the poor do). So instead you buy a hotdog from a 7-11 or a shitty vending machine hamburger at work. Life gets worse, seems like there is no hope of it getting better until eventually that little bit of you food you enjoy is about the only part of your life you enjoy, because what else is there.

It actually almost makes sense in a way since you are getting the most calorie bang for you buck, and when that dollar has to go really far, and you aren't sure if food will run out later, the quick math that supports the immediate future over the long term one is what wins out.

I'll never understand the cruelty of trying to place the blame of systemic problems on those effected by it.

Really excited to see interview platforms focus on time-constrained,
mini-projects. I also like the idea that there is an element of
choice for the applicant as well as potential employer -- having a
one-size fits all interview approach for different disciplines never
made sense to me even if everyone in the company is as "generalist" as
they can be. I got to see the Byteboard team put together this
platform and I've been really impressed at the passion involved in
creating this product -- the team really put their hearts into making
something accessible and efficient that looks to respect both parties

The prewar control systems that lead to the first computers
I was born, raised, and continue to live an hour north of San Francisco. I've visited Pier 39 and other attractions all throughout my life, especially as my kids were younger,and am intimately familiar with the area. My wife an I actually had our wedding reception at a (historic) restaurant in the area after a ceremony at city hall (which is gorgeous).

I probably couldn't point out one interesting historic part of my own city if put on the spot, though I know they exist (while not as old or as large as SF, it's been around a while too).
Where did this sick mindset come from? Seems like people dont want to take accountability for their life, so they blame white people for their own misfortune. People that are talking about color are racists. MSM and lots others keep trying to say black guy this, or white guy that. WHO CARES what color the person is.. How about John Smith from XYZ did something etc.. It seems like the people raging about race, are the racists ones and when you call them out on it they call you racists. Very strange society we live in.
I vote for neither. We don’t need to drive, and we certainly don’t need computers to do it for us. There are other—much more easily automated—systems that are several orders of magnitudes more efficient then driving and—if implemnted sufficiently—almost always faster.

Autonomous driving doesn’t need to be perfect because we don’t need it. With sufficient alternative systems the only reason for driving will be for hobby (and we don’t want that automated anyway) and heavy load work (like agriculture, mining, or logging) which is already heavily automated.
The "safe" part is a huge one. We need a definition of "safe" on a formal level of ISO26262 which is also feasible. From what I have heard the validation would require billions if not trillions of miles driven. If you retrain the neural net, you start from 0. Currently, it is not feasible to sell a safe self-driving car.
I recently sold my MacBook Pro 13” late 2018 edition. I got tired of the touch-bar, the keyboard and frankly OS/X (finder, docker, running local servers, outdated unix cli, iCloud and a range of other annoyances).

I replaced it with a Surface Pro 6 i5 edition and setup my development environment in WSL. This is the first device I’ve genuinely loved since my iBook G4 and it honestly feels like something Apple should have build.

I don’t actually like Windows 10 that much, but it works as well as OS/X for daily usage and WSL is just so amazingly good for isolating your dev environment in actual Linux.

It’s also cheaper than a MacBook, will work as a tablet and is great for taking hand written notes.

Worth considering, at least while you wait for the next MacBook keyboard.
It is evil the same way eBay is evil because some people lie in the description or send you bad products.

Airbnb is just a platform. Its users break laws. Just like there are bad landlords for long term rent, same is here only for the short term. The problem is landlords that break laws and turn homes into hotels etc.
This issues are not related with the taxes, most of the time are existing laws that are applied , remember that Facebook had to get approval to buy whatsapp . this is because there were laws about competition that are applied in EU.
