Pretty neat; reminds me of the Daylio app which I've been using daily for over a year. I do like the app because it has reminder notifications, which I suppose is something you could monetize. Really the smart thing to do would be to also release an app that uses the same data store. If you want to make it really awesome, write some tools for analysis i.e. charts, word clouds, etc. that people can look at over time.
Previous method works well,why change it?

Silicon Valley thrive in tricky algo questions. That's how they hired engineers since long time ago.
I'm quite aware of how much food California produces. I'm also quite comfortable with California not overfarming and just, you know, letting the rest of the country stop producing subsidized corn.

I can't help but feel like it's a subtle contradiction to propose that without constant watering the soil in California will crack up and vanish and that's not going to happen with crop rotation but will happen with crop rotation (as if many farms in California aren't already forced to do this because of the nature of our groundwater).

Are you also opposed to orchards? They're full of solar panels that make fruit rather than electricity.
"2013-2018: I revisited this conjecture every time when I learn a new tool, without any success though. But at least thinking about it helps me quickly fall asleep many nights."

I believe Feynmann said the best people always had the top unsolved problems in the top of their minds and whenever a new technique or result arrived, they would drop everything and try out the new attack on the old problem.

GDPR is not merely a list of bad things to avoid, it adds a lot of ongoing burdens to every company active in the region. Hire more people. Actively investigate your own compliance. Wait months for government permission to deliver features.

Universities are increasingly becoming worthless high school extensions, and right-wing indoctrination centers. Hardly worth keeping -- with state funds. Let them pay for that themselves.
> What about understanding how the world works makes me automatically part of the problem?

Pretend, for just a moment, that my proposition was true (as I obviously believe it to be). In that case, you've identified yourself as part of the problem. Especially so because you suggest that your prioritization is inevitable and therefore must be assumed.

> I do disagree that there are other cultures with a 'better' notion.

We can look at the development patterns of some other nations. Not all are so spread out, and not all believe that environmentalism is pointless.

> Culture matters, but nkt that much in the long run when theres status at stake

There's lots of ways to get status.
Not as much as oil sadly
I’m graduating with a phd in deep learning in 3 months, trying to decide whether to join FAANG or do my own thing. What is the most valuable lesson you learned from your failures?
why does this have to be on the in the cloud? would be nice to allow data saved only in local storage (and make the syncing optional).

I understand then it's harder to monetize, but you don't need infrastructure if it runs locally and for the user it's a privacy (security) win. Consider that people are gonna use it as a diary/journal and IMO having this saved in the cloud is extremely privacy intrusive so I'd at least would expect more info about encryption of data at rest. There is no end to end encryption so I assume this is by design and people will see ads in future based on their "mood"?

I think it's not ethical to extract money from users this way in 2019. There is no value-add from it being in the cloud (you wouldn't have any problem with scaling infra cost if it runs locally).

Also security headers: https://securityheaders.com/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.quidsentio....

fwiw I find the idea itself quite cool but in it's current design wouldn't touch it with a stick.
I wouldn't mind if my credit card only allowed transactions once a minute. I don't think I ever had to do two transactions in a minute.
This is not better at least in the traditional ways Lisp is evaluated by. The scoping rules inherit Python’s confusing and conflated notions of binding vs mutation.
I have found pair-programming with a dev on a current problem you have in your codebase to be the best litmus test.

If u want to give "quiz" interviews, u will get employee's good doing them. Like those CS grads in my class who copied eachothers take-home assignments yet still passed because they were good at memoizing.

Furthermore, this is the first training session for your future employee - you are inducting them into your companies culture. If "answering meaningless questions for the sake of it, is what you want to portray to them. So be it." They have been warned!

Selecting for a certain subset of people, is a business decision. Be aware of what interview practices mean in the context of how that company operates. If the job add has a sticker list of tech-hype, a promise of re-dev'ing a monolith into k8 microservices, with a leetcode interview, you already know alot about that company!
This is a fundamental problem with all self-maintaining code.

This type of thing is standard in healthcare. Doctors only began saying babies felt pain in the late 1980s, and only then because a mom made a big fuss in the media about it when she discovered on accident that her baby received open heart surgery without anesthesia.

All of a sudden the decades of research that had been interpreted as showing babies didn't feel pain was overturned and new research showed they did.

Medical research really is mostly a series of fads.

For those who did not click, this consultant is "the itinerant grim reaper of state budgets who has for more than twenty years been going from state to state when a new Republican governor comes into power cutting state spending down to the bone and making way for tax cuts for the wealthy."

For some of these people, I honestly have a hard time telling just how much they actually believe in these policies, and how much it happens to serve their other ideological interests by proxy even though they know full well that their economic policies of choice are a load of malarkey. I mean, history has shown a trail of bodies from these kinds of moves.
The reminder notifications and tools for analysis are definitely in my mind. These two features are must haves for an app like this. I will probably go more through a PWA route; I am the sole developer on this and I don't think I can maintain two native apps (at least not until it is a solid, profitable product).

Another features I am considering applying are voice recordings and sharing with close friends. Do you have an opinion about these features?
Erase My Back Pai
Try to eliminate empty calories from you diet and follow a meal plan that is based on healthy nutritional principles. For a healthy diet, you should eat a well-balanced variety of wholesome foods so that you will receive all the essential nutrients that help your body function at its best.

Pump it up. You should get active. If you go a long period without exercising regularly, then your body develops a condition called deconditioning, basically - you're out of shape. The number one suggestion for people who deal with chronic pain is to exercise as often as possible. By exercising, you increase your blood flow and strengthen your muscles.

If the network only clears once a minute, you need to wait at least a minute for each person ahead of you in line at the store. Alternatively, you need to be willing to pay more to cut them in line.

I have a high interest savings account with Marcus by Goldman Sachs. They used to pay out 2.25% but lowered to 2.15% recently. There are a few big red flags about Wealthfront for me...

1.) They claim to offer FDIC-insured up to $1 million, yet on the official FDIC website, and as far as I understand they only insure up to $250,000 per account. How is $1M possible?

2.) With the 10 year and 2 year US treasury yields plumitting well below 2% today, I don't understand how wealthfront can continue to offer 2.57% without taking a loss.
Statoil did not rebrand their gas stations although it could appear to be the case. First they separated the operation into a new subsidiary called Statoil fuel & retail, which they then sold to Couche-tard, a Canadian convenience store multinational. The deal preserved the right to use the statoil brand for some time. Then couche-tard rebranded them to Cirkle K as part of a global strategy.

Oh I see what you mean. That wouldn't be too terrible either I suppose, but I see your point now.
Talk about a coincidence. I just interviewed (for an article) someone today who happened to mention out of the blue that he's mentioned in the "Art of Computer Programming". He asked me if I "had heard of Donald Knuth." He didn't know if people still read those volumes. :) I let him know folks are very much still interested.

IIRC, there are 14 dimensions in total, but it’s impossible to represent all of them on a page. So he went for up-down, left-right, clusters, and colors to represent a subset of them.

"Bullshit is what makes society work".

It's not a new idea.

Eventually it leads to where we are now: Living in a (hopefully temporarily) post fact society, where loud enough lies function as truth, where politicians have long since given up on the idea of genuinely believing anything they say, where corporate leaders own governments and chuckle at the idea of caring about the general wellbeing of mankind.

And where all the bullshit has lead to lots of tiny decisions based on misinformed priorities, cumulatively resulting in the largest mass extinction event in 100's of millions of years and a genuine existential threat to the human race.

I think authenticity is a very practical cultural goal. Misused and misunderstood sometimes maybe, but much needed.

ah yes. I personally like to refer to this as a stargate theory. for example, if the gov actually had a piece of alien technology capable of opening a wormhole to other planets, perhaps the best way to cover it up would indeed be to create a public tv show about it. That way, anyone who tried to argue for its veracity would immediately be considered a borderline lunatic.

I can imagine that there are legitimate reasons not to use anesthesia on babies who show no signs of remembering the pain when they've become able to communicate. Anesthesia is not without risk, probably doubly so for a developing brain.

The way they and their competitor, betterment, work is that they distribute your funds to a real bank or up to 4 of them for that 1m FDIC insurance.

The real risk I see using them is the money transition period from your current bank to their partner banks while moving the funds. It's why I opted for a traditional bank with high yield savings but not as high as theirs.

I'd be interested to know how they explain FDIC insurance during the transitional period. I could be wrong and they have that covered, too.

> Is that the value of the extension developer's labor?

Labor itself has no intrinsic value at all. You don’t have to think very hard to come up with a list of things that would be laborious but not valuable. Economically speaking, the value of any product can only ever be what people are willing to pay for it. If your users aren’t willing to pay for your product in one way or another, then your only option is to sell access to your users, in one way or another.

At home, the family spoke Mixtec, an indigenous language; at school, Ignacio learned to speak Spanish. He was the only one in his family who went to school past the primary grades.

And he's spent about half his life in the US with extremely limited ability to interact at all and probably mostly hearing English.

What language do you think he's supposed to be capable of responding to? One of the two he grew up with, but hasn't actually used in half a lifetime?

There are documented cases of people with head injuries losing the use of one language they knew but not another.

I have a serious medical condition and I grew up in a bilingual home. I've had incidents where I was exhausted and stressed out and could not speak English for an hour or more, only German, though I'm not especially fluent in it.

I don't care what language you use with Ignacio. He's probably not mentally fluent in any of them anymore, having nothing to do per se with how impaired his brain is and everything to do with the fact that he's probably mostly not heard either Mixtec or Spanish for half his life and has instead been immersed an English-speaking environment with which he mostly couldn't interact.

Yeah for sure. I mean I was just trying to make a joke about divergent series and how "Every Noise at Once" is a deeply vague statement. But you're right that in the discrete arena it is literally a finite sum that can cancel perfectly (assuming that every sound has exactly one representable "opposite" sound in your storage format).
There's reason to believe this is just a propaganda campaign from the Ethiopian government.

Exchange traded funds depend on special traders who buy the underlying stocks (like AMZN and MSFT), and sell them in exchange for the ETFs (like SPY and VOO). If the individual stocks are more valuable the special traders can buy the ETF shares, exchange them for the individuals, and then sell those for cash. If the ETF is more valuable, they can buy the individual stocks, exchange them for the ETF, and sell the ETF for cash. This is what keeps Index funds matching the underlying index.

Whenever the prices are out of whack, one of the assets can be exchanged for the other. However, there is the concept of tracking error, where by the value of the ETF doesn't track its index. High frequency traders are constantly trying to take advantage of this mismatch (i.e. arbitrage), and as a result the fund's tracking error is moved very close to 0 (i.e. it achieves the goal stated in the prospectus).

Retail investors (like you and me) benefit from this because the price of the index fund is kept in line, and HFT people get to make a little money being keeping it that way. Who would want to make a law that hurts everyone involved by preventing them from entering a mutually beneficial relationship?
For almost all the typical use cases a Frequentist 95% confidence interval will be nearly the same as a Bayesian 95% credible interval determined using a uniform prior. In every case I have seen where this is not true the Frequentist interval gives nonsensical results.

So your complaint is a total non-issue. Most people are interpreting their confidence intervals as credible intervals anyway... Essentially, for nearly a hundred years researchers have already been using Bayesian stats with flat priors.
@p1esk replying to your question as reply to my own comment as for some reason I'm not seeing the "reply" link below your comment.

Unfortunately all failures have their own nuances. In some cases it was the issue with market dynamics, in others I think the idea itself was not good enough. I think we always underestimate the inertia of a market, healthcare and anything to do with government are prime examples of that. Of course I'm sure I also lack something but I try to make it up with tenacity.
Disclosure, some of the attempts were side projects while I was willing to full time, which, while financially better, had its own issues.

Regarding your situation, I'll say take a look at two things, your financial situation and what idea you have.

Not sure if that's what you're looking for but I'd be happy to shoot you an email to chat offline.
On the other hand, the Intercontinental Exchange reduced the tick size for sterling interest rate futures towards the end of 2018, and the result was ... decreased liquidity! And resulting increased volatility.

I'm not sure anyone knows for sure why this happened, but the best theory i've heard is that the reduction in tick size reduced the expected profits of market makers, because they are collecting less spread on every contract they turn around, while not affecting their potential losses, because external factors which cause the market to jump three basis points will still cause it to jump three basis points. Halved regular profits divided by constant occasional losses equals no longer worth bothering with.
Azure Dedicated Host
> I didn't mean to leave out firesystem functionality entirely. Clearly you still need a way to load programs from the disk without typing in a bootstrap program!

In my mind, if you're going to make assumptions such as having a valid file table, making the assumption you have some basic programs ready to be loaded is not too much of a leap?

By the way, once I've got a filesystem up and running that can load in files greater than 512 bytes, it makes sense then to build a very basic assembly compiler. There's a bunch of tricks one could pull in order to make compiling a single parse deal for relatively large files at the sacrifice of efficiency. I think I could quite easily drop support for half of the 8086 instruction set and still end up with something very usable.

> I agree that octal is less dense. But it's a lot more readable, because operand fields are isolated in a single digit (usually) and not split across digits and mixed with opcode bits.

Are you able to give a small example, I'm not sure I follow the thinking? From what I understand, for each octal character you're representing 3 bits of binary. With two characters you have 6, but you're still short 2 bits for a byte.
