Producing no dead ends is easy enough to do--simply sweep over your map and delete any cell with exactly one connection. Repeat until nothing is deleted. Even without looking at the code it's pretty clear that's what's going on here.

I have done procedural dungeon generation before, dead end removal isn't hard.
If only all that it took to get product market fit was to post in a startup forum / group. It's really hard to figure out who your customer is, how to effectively target them and how to move them through the funnel.

It sounds like you think you know who you want to target and think you know the value you provide them. I'd encourage you to try to make your first few sales manually, before trying to tackle the channel acquisition problem. You can't scale a channel before you know who to target and how to sell to them.

Good luck!

Basically inflation is taxed. However, few people report trinkets. Inflation in a certain sector (whether due to speculative bubbles or not) is taxable.

The real question is — what if there is huge volatility and it goes down after it went up? Surely you don’t pay taxes on just the hands you win in a casino without deducting the losses first? But when does a casino session end with markets?

another BIG question I have is, do you really now have to pay for EVERY TRADE of one cryptocurrency to another? What if you have a capital loss and gain etc.?

Agreed. You'd end up with more of the folks who just want power for power's sake, instead of growth/validation.
I agree with your examples but I think a piece of software is different because users expect it to change over time.

New Mac OS version? Users want <software> to support it.
Found a bug in a library <software> uses? Users expect to get a fixed version
etc.

And while as a software user/buyer myself I like the idea of paying once and be done with it I kinda understand why people need recurring income if they keep on working on a piece of software even if it's just "minor" things.
Thanks for clarifying! Great write-up!
It is the same as using anything other than USD to trade for something. Wether that is Stocks, Euros, GBP, goats, if you bought it at one price and traded it for something else based on a different price, you owe taxes for your capital gains from holding that asset.

> As a consumer, you are free to engage with a business of your choice. Likewise, a business is free to adopt a business model of their choice. That is the only "logic" at play here.

So the logic behind "this model is objectively bad and means life or death for a company" was "well, it's a free country, so if you don't like it, go somewhere else"?
That's excellent. We have too many blood sucking financial people and they are draining the life out of the USA, producing nothing of lasting value!

Credit cards are solved problem for the last 30 years. The fact that they take 3% to 4% of every transaction and then extract a usurious 20% annual interest rate at a time when loan rates are 4% should be criminally prosecuted.

A 1% cut and 3% over prime rate interest rate (currently 5.5%) should be mandated by legislation!

Sprint has a pretty solid network in most markets, but they also have a metric crapton of debt.

What it comes down to, is there isnt enough spectrum to have three fully competitive carriers. The merger of T-Mo and Sprint will give them a huge leverage point on spectrum. T-Mo bring 600, AWS bands, as well as 1900 PCS blocks, Sprint brings 2.6, 900 and 1900 PCS blocks.

> the build system can fetch it and have that work recursively for dependencies

Which build system? CMake? SCons? GNU Make? Unix Make? Autotools? Visual Studio Solution?

Cpp libraries are far from having a standardized build system. And without a standardized build system, you can't do what you describe.

I suppose you could say "CMake is the standard" and then only support CMake-compatible libraries, but again, that leaves hundreds of packages out of reach.
Yes, will do when I get the needed spacing blog post up!
Presumably, they stood to make much more money long term if their standards hadn't died.
Triggering a DAG externally fails consistently for 1% of requests, and 100% of the time when the web server API goes down, which is too often (502). I understand that in the realm of Airflow, triggering a DAG externally is perhaps a bit of an anti-pattern, but it should not have been documented then:

https://cloud.google.com/composer/docs/how-to/using/triggeri...

I have cases open with the composer team, and I am upgrading the cluster again this weekend, but I have lost hope at this point; I am designing a solution to stop using external triggers.
You have no hope of understanding neural networks without learning math.

Luckily the math needed is not that hard. Linear algebra and gradient based optimization are not out of reach for most people. If you already understand regression and maximum likelihood estimation, then you're almost there already.
I agree. But even the ignorant on the matter can raise relevant questions, more so when the subject cross boundaries on other less "restrict to the experts" topics, like ethics.
That is very cool and gives me some ideas, thanks for posting it.
Indeed it varies between 4.2V and 3.1V, but the value op chose (3.7V) is not an unreasonable average number. But 3.5V probably is a better guesstimate. See https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/6/7/4/7/9/5112a224ce395fb479...

Heck, you should try to give interviewees real bugs so they're solving real problems (not to exploit them but to see how they think and work) instead of theoretical chalkboard problems or standard brainteasters.

Certainly, guide them towards easy-ish bugs rather than complicated ones right away, because there is something to risk management of new people attacking gradually-increasingly critical code / difficult bugs. Of course you probably wouldn't give a random interviewee root access to a credit card processing system, but you should ratchet-up the level of trust incrementally as fast and as frequent as a staff member has proven themselves (treat people as adults, not kids).
Exactly this. From a consumer perspective, being subject to the US legal system is a big advantage.

Okay, thanks for the information. I suppose I was referring to those candidates which met the threshold of support to be included in the debates on national television. And indeed, that seems to be a reasonable place to "draw the line", in my opinion. There is a very high likelihood that anyone speaking on national TV would be searched on Google.

Tulsi Gabbard falls well within the category of candidates. So, while I concede that the line ought be drawn, I still believe the post I responded to was arguing in bad faith, given Hubbard's popularity
I'm aware of DMT and its need for MAOIs. If you don't have this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Psychedelics-Encyclopedia-Peter-Sta... may I recommend you race to the local bookstore and order it. It's a fantastic, thorough and scientific book.

And at less than 30 quid, that's cheaper than 3 packs of cigs and a damn sight more interesting.
It's certainly possible - one way would be to do like some people who do some casual stock trading where you record all the transactions in an excel sheet with the amounts and dates, and then submit the appropriate reporting to IRS. Similar measures apply if you do significant amounts of barter; e.g. if you as a farmer trade a truckload of produce for an old vehicle without any cash involved, then you may have (all kinds of legal caveats apply) to appraise the transaction at some dollar value and justify that appraisal. For bitcoin it's a bit simpler than barter since just taking daily reference prices from a major exchange is an objectively reasonable method of pricing.

It's not that hard, but takes some work and skill - it may be prudent to hire a certified accountant to do that for you properly.

In any case, the fact that in some circumstances the reporting is labor-intensive, or expensive, or unclear isn't a valid excuse to not do it. You can ask IRS or a CPA for assistance, and if you do your best then even if IRS eventually disagrees with something, then it's going to just be a correction (which may go in both directions).

The 'wealthy' and corporations have the finances to pay for accountants and attorneys to set these things up. Most of them are taking advantage of what is legally already there, but no where near common knowledge. Wading through tax code is a struggle at best.
T-Mo supposedly ended up with a pile of 600 MHz spectrum, and sprint has a big pile of 2.6 gig spectrum (nee clearwire).
I'm sure those aren't the only reasons. Quite a lot of people get away with tax fraud. If the IRS really knew everything and filing taxes was just a pointless exercise, why is fraud so prevalent?
The great lesson from the Facebook et al. debacle we are going through is that a technology that starts out benign and sometimes very useful (think Facebook in the first few years) can morph over time under economic and ideological pressures into something highly harmful to society at large (Facebook today). Second, the expertise developed due to a product existing can also be dangerous. Every technique created by the online-ad industry is now being used to derail democracy across the world.

Let's analyze Juul using the second point. Juul is an experiment modern technology is being leveraged to determine how quickly an addictive substance can be used to alter brain chemistry. The techniques learned from e-cigarettes (using data from tens of thousands of users) will in a few years be used for other hard drugs. Juul is turning a blind eye to kids using its products, but the drug mafias will actively pursue kids and get them hooked onto highly dangerous drugs using new high tech drug delivery devices. Yes, these devices already exist, but they are not being widely used and studied by scientists in methodical fashion, and published in journals.

Now the first point. Pretty soon, competitors will decide that the easy way to beat Juul is to make their own e-cigarette more addictive. From there, its going to be a rat race to the bottom where every company in the space will devolve to R&D labs trying to create the most addictive e-cigarette possible.

Do you really want to live in this future?
It sounds to me like these senescent cells have reached or completed telophase (construction of nuclear membranes after mitosis), yet cytokinesis (splitting of the cell) has been inhibited.

That's not exactly how the JetBrains perpetual fallback license works. You don't get a license for the last version you used under your subscription. You get a license for the version you had 12 months before you ended your subscription.

If you buy an annual subscription, you are paying for 12 months up front, so you immediately get a fallback license for the version that is available at the time you start or renew the subscription.

If you buy a monthly subscription, then after you've paid for 12 months you get a fallback license for the version that was available at the beginning of your subscription. If you then keep your subscription active and later cancel, you get a fallback license for the version that was available 12 months before you canceled.

As far as I understand it, IRS wants cryptocurrency traders to report USD profit on every trade. This gets extremely ugly if you are trading one cryptocurrency for another, as these trades are unclear as to whether they are an entry or an exit.

Now, I simply recommend that everyone only trades USD-to-crypto and back, never crypto-to-crypto if you want to comply with tax law - it gets very complicated fast.

Hi, the designer here. As for the font name, Microsoft owns "Comic Sans" but not "Comic" or "Sans" alone. And as already explained, fonts are copyrighted as software codes and a new one has to be made from scratch (except of course when you are the owner or permitted in license agreement). In terms of visual similarity, Comic Neue is much closer to Comic Sans but MS hasn't done anything with it. If that's fine, Comic Code surely would be too. In any case, I did speak with the MS guys prior to release, and they saw no issues with either trademark or copyright.
The font doesn't bring these feelings. You do. What if the problem is just that people have decided that it's ok to get upset about a font they don't like? Maybe people should try not to do that instead.

> more appropriate fonts

There are only two things that determine the appropriateness of a font:

1) Readability

2) The aesthetic desire of the person writing the message

Nobody ever says that Comic Sans isn't readable, generally readability is considered to be one of its virtues. People just think that the aesthetic desire of the reader should triumph over the aesthetic desire of the writer, and there they are wrong.
Confidence costs money.

I moved from DO to Scaleway a few years ago and I am super satisfied. Never had any problems whatsoever and I haven't found a cheaper hosting. Their console is easy to use and their offering is generally pretty good. Highly recommended.

I spend $3.33 (2.99€) and host a few apps. None big but they all run smooth as butter. It's amazing how much you can actually host on this little machines.
One wonders if they're able to get cheaper screens that have failed someone else's quality requirements?
No, it is a static unchangeable password. Graft can't "manage" user accounts, it just has one user with password. It does not support keyfiles or other authentication mechanisms.

I wrote graft to have a simple portable tool for transfering files in a network without shares - the main idea behind it was to run:

graft serve myfiles/*.txt

on the server side and then

graft receive

on the client side without having to remember the ip or hostname - because zeroconf / mdns is used, it will find the server automatically, if the network is not too big. If there is more than one server, it will prompt you to choose the right one.

I only used SFTP, because it is a secure way to transfer files over the network.
I only use Bash for the simplest tasks. For anything more elaborate I use Groovy scripts. At some point I switch to full Groovy projects, switching on static compilation, adding unit and integration tests and so forth.

The allegation here is of intentionally suppressing her campaign. Google acts behind a veil of secrecy, and without access to internals, the best you have to work with is their word. And I DO NOT trust the robo-responses from giant corporations
