You start counting with 1 because 0 is the term created later to indicate an absence of stuff to count. If I have one kid, I start counting by the number one, if I have 0 kids I don't have anything to count.

But then I agree that there is no inherent logic, math is invented and not discovered, and you could define it any way you want. If we all had 8 fingers we would probably use base 8 instead of 10 after all.
Memento dev tool caches API calls–stub external services for integration testing
Oh, you can sell it? Well, now we're talking.

For a relevant time comparison you should subtract the research time, mind. Those accounts were worth about $1K a year to me back then, but the amount of time I spent trying to figure out new "hacks" was no longer worth it once I had a job.

If you already know about it and aren't hanging about on the equivalent of coupon forums, yeah, it takes 1 min, you'd be a fool not to.
I'm the developer of a relatively popular app (50M+ on the Play Store) and have had very disappointing experiences with the Play Store, but in a rather opposite way from the OP:

Once an app reaches a certain level of popularity, you begin to see "knock-off" apps, which are apps with a curiously similar name and icon (and screenshots and description), but which in fact don't do anything except blast the user with full-screen ads at every turn. It's literally just ads; they don't perform any actual function; they just exploit the SEO boost to serve ads to unsuspecting users.

I have tried "reporting" these apps numerous times (there are dozens of them), but Google has done nothing at all to remove these apps or suspend the accounts of these bottom-feeding "developers". The only conclusion is that the ad revenue benefits Google as well as the bottom-feeders, so Google drags its feet in taking any action. I would bet that if these apps were doing something malicious without a financial incentive for Google, then Google would take them down in a heartbeat.
I like dogs, but I saw it more of a story about the expectations we often have for folks in their 30s, in terms of life responsibilities and relationships. The author describes having to move on from the perfect love of a dog:

> Dusty taught me everything I needed to know about life, but over the years there had been something missing. My friends Ben and Rachel insisted I join a dating app to expand my horizons. That’s how they met, but I loathed the idea.

> Why would I want to expand my life? I had a dog, a place to live, a pickup truck smothered in bumper stickers. But out of curiosity (or God knows what), I humored them. I created a Tinder account with a picture of Dusty as my profile picture. No one matched with me until Rachel explained that I was swiping in the wrong direction. The first time I swiped right, I matched.
Even with Google ads, there are plenty of 7-figure spenders who have trouble reaching customer service.
According to the mentioned podcast, the large garbage patches don’t just happen as a result of currents collecting random floaters into one spot; they come from countries like China just dumping whole barges out in the ocean.
At least on ios, both uber [1] and facebook have clearly engaged in behavior that would get anyone else booted from the platform.

My impression is that today we know that there can be no single foundation, which means that there is no way to undermine all areas at once.
The individual in the article pretty clearly doesn’t care about the impact of “at scale” behavior of this type or the impact that would have on others, read: people with integrity
That's because formal logic is a (relatively) recent attempt to formalize the intuitions behind the math that people were already doing. Doing mathematics doesn't really depend on foundational logic in the same way that, e.g., a web app depends on transistor physics.

As somebody once said, if we ever found a contradiction in the ZFC axioms, we wouldn't throw out math, we'd just throw out ZFC.
I've been trying it in Asia with Cathay Pacific's Asia miles. I don't really do card churning, although I've opened a few cards just to get the sign up bonus. I only have two credit cards that give me a good cash to points ratio, and I try to use them to make the best out of it. For example, one I mostly use when spending money abroad, just because I get a better ratio on foreign transactions. While the other one I use for all my daily transactions, I hardly ever use cash, and all my payments are linked to this card. I sometimes also take advantage of some of the restaurants deals they offer.
It also helps that I use my own credit card when making expenses while on business trips, this has probably earned me a significant amount of points.

All in all, I've been able to redeem a few flights, and upgrade a couple of long-haul flights. I'm not that obsessed with it tho.
I found this one amusing, but for different reasons.

I've been fortunate enough to travel to over 12 countries too, we call it Europe. Stick your thumb out at the side of the road, you'll be there in no time. ;)

I'm curious about why you're on this 10 day old thread.
I'm living in a foreign country and speak fluently 3 languages, and known a few things in a forth one. Deciding which language to use with which person is a taxing effort in itself, especially in a group setting. There is no such thing as "asshole-y thing" to use English because each communication setting is different. Sometime the most important thing is to be understood quickly, then using English if there is any friction makes sense. On the other hand, if the goal is to build some emotional rapport, trying harder in the other person's native language is worth doing.
You are talking about very large cities only. How about most of the U.S. with smaller cities and towns?

As I said, I'm speaking generally. In the absence of links, which you've not provided, I have no idea which posts you're specifically talking about.

Edit: out of curiosity, I looked through your history. All the dead comments back to about 2014 were killed by user flags. Before that, there are a bunch of dead comments but I didn't see signs that moderators had killed them; my guess is that you were banned for a while.
I can prove that's not a typo people make, nobody visited the site for weeks when I first set it up =)
Yeah, in the realm of rewards cards in the US there are cash-back cards, miles cards, and points cards. Cash-back cards just give you a redemption on whatever you owe them for the next statement (you effectively pay $98 or $99 when you spend $100). Miles cards give you per-dollar-spent frequent flyer miles for a specific airline or group of airlines usually plus a sign-up bonus like mentioned here. Points cards are like miles cards, except the points are more flexible and can be converted either to airline miles or to gift cards or to statement credits.

As for the time spent researching. These days it basically non-existent. If you google "best rewards credit card 2019" you'll find half a dozen sites all with similar recommendations all telling you basically "Get this one, then in a few months get this one, then get this one, then close them and start over in a year. Don't do anything fancy, just spend enough to cash in the sign-up bonus and then switch to the next."
When Twitter first came out, in the US it was common to pay for receiving SMS not just sending. Multipart messages weren't always handled perfectly before modern smart phones, often they would be delayed or be received in the wrong order.

interestingly Europe was all over SMS messaging in the 00s, but it didn't really become popular in the US until this decade, when carriers starting bundling unlimited SMS in plans.
If I'm interpreting that image correctly, a large fraction of plastics is not coming from any of the top 10 sources.
Rust people will talk about ownership, because when you work with the language you learn to appreciate what it implies. Rust code for ml can be fairly effortlessly compiled to any target - including wasm. Not so for python running over c-compiled libs. Rust has the potential to NN over a bunch of phones and laptops all collaborating on the same thing together. Huge potential, esp around dapps that need a little ml in their lives.

- Software Fundamentals, essays by David Parnas

Here's one of the essays from the book: https://www.win.tue.nl/~wstomv/edu/2ip30/references/criteria...

Parnas promoted the idea of encapsulation before the word had even been invented. And at the time, the idea was actually controversial, if you can believe it.
Not sure what's going on, but you've posted so many low-quality comments and broken the site guidelines so many times in the last several hours that I'm rate-limiting your account again, until we get a commitment that this will stop and not recur.
My understanding is that the Signal protocol is exactly that and is even used (or at least claimed to me used) by WhatsApp under the hood, although obviously we shouldn't take them at their word re: the details of their implementation / that they aren't capturing / collecting / sending user input before and/or after the "ends" of the "E2E", so to speak.

The issue isn't as much the lack of an open and secure messaging protocol as it is an inability to build a social network on an open client that is as large as the ones that private corporations have been able to build with their closed source solutions.

Their adding of additional features into their messaging apps that add both usability and complexity makes this an even more difficult barrier to overcome.
Can’t mainland China just let Hong Kong burn itself? There seems to be little incentive for China to either provide reforms (which would embolden the protestors) or do an authoritarian crackdown (the everyone burns scenario). It would seem they can just wait it out and let the protests paralyze Hong Kong until even local sentiments turn against them.
An interesting example is the addition of `{-# LANGUAGE LinearTypes #-}` to GHC. The primary interest for this "experiment" is not from academia but from industry (tweag IO). Another example is `QuantifiedConstraints` which was quickly caught up by practical applications as well. Haskell is not just for academia, it is very much intended for practical use after all.
it means we're old though ;_;.
There is a section in the book's page called Director's cut. These are the topics not discussed in the book and mentions treaps, randomized minimum cut etc.
Well maybe not quite that extreme. It's more analogous to the fact that most professional programmers do not fully understand the programming language they use (nor honestly do they need to for the most part).

Nonetheless, it's perhaps surprising for a beginning student of pure mathematics when all they can see is the sky-high demand for rigor that "professional" pure mathematics is seemingly content to hand-wave its foundations. (For the most part this hand-waving is the postrigorous stage described by Terence Tao https://terrytao.wordpress.com/career-advice/theres-more-to-... rather than the pre-rigorous hand-waving of the student).
Replace with "Element" with "Class" and "Attribute" with "Property" in your examples.

It's really to maintain JSON without being allowed comments. JSON is fine for transmitting data across the web, but if you need complex configuration data in version control that many people work on, you need comments so new teammates can be easily onboarded onto a project. There's definitely a need for something that is programming-language-like, but entirely about structuring and formatting data for configuration. YAML is the closest thing to that. It's not perfect, but it works better for that purpose than JSON or XML.

Pitfalls of Card UIs (2018)

"Using our iPhone app, you can have anonymous conversations with other Applebee's patrons and brand advocates."

"WhatsApplebee's uses iPhone location services to limit access to those currently inside an Applebee's. We enforce this strictly, unlike other chain restaurant-based messaging services such as T.G.I. Friendster or Olive Grindr."

The Radical Transformations of a Battered Women's Shelter
Small cities are the worst. Witnesses are the best protection against crime, but there is no one out after 8:30 in the evening. You could unload a dead body from a van and when it's found the following morning no one could tell where it came from.
While that may be technically correct, the programmer-visibile difference between the MOS 6502 and the MOS 6510 is totally incidental in this case - the 6510 has a a built in 6/8-pin IO port (partially used for bank switching the ROMs in the C64). Unless you touch the IO ports, they should behave identically, down to the cycle timings of instructions and the same behavior of undocumented opcodes.

In this case, the real C64 specific tricks are not 6510 specific, but depending on the specific initialization done by the C64 ROM and calling C64 ROM routines.

Masaccio: Emulate. Don't Imitate. – GPT-2 Model
Inspired by GPT-2, Allen.AI and other language models, and also by other folks in this forum that have built various projects, I built Masaccio. It is an AI-driven web browser app that gives you real-time suggestions on how your piece can meet the writing standards of different personas, from famed authors and poets to journalists to other professionals like screenwriters or lawyers.

In other words, it enables users to emulate different personalities, and improve their creative writing and communication skills.

Feel free to view its functionality in the video on https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/riya/masaccio-emulate-dont-imitate

I would love to hear feedback and any suggestions of how I can improve it or make if useful. I am an freshman@Brown, and I was inspired to build this when rising high school seniors and juniors sought my advice to guide them on college app essays and creative writing assignments. I thought this was one way to give back to society. Please let me know who might be interested in trying and using the app too!

As a parent, I actually do pay attention to CDC stats. And because of this, I am worried - not because of kidnappers, but because of cars - which unlike most other dangers have only gotten deadlier (to pedestrians) over the years (source: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/07/us/pedestrian-deaths.html). Despite living an urban lifestyle, walking or biking to destinations, and teaching our kid basic traffic safety, we are nonetheless at the mercy of other people driving deadly weapons all the time.
I once made the mistake of renting a movie from Google Play Movies. I am a customer. The "my purchases" page just shows an error, so I can't find the titles I own or have rented. There is no place to report this except in a user to user forum.
Not so. I used the word "rich", which you neglected to consider. Natural food has all these flavors already, in quantities much healthier for you. Additionally, letting go of artificial augmentation opens up a world of subtle flavor that is otherwise masked by the extremes.

I live in Washington, DC, where I own a house in a neighborhood that was ranked as the hottest market in the country a couple years ago. So, I’m one of those privileged coastal elites who lived in a highly gentrifying area.

That gentrifying neighborhood is also home to DC’s Central American diaspora. My daughter’s classmates’ families fled violence in Honduras and El Salvador (both in the 80s and now, with renewed unrest).

I’m also from rural Iowa, lived on a farm during the 80s farm crisis until my dad threw in the towel. I go back regularly. I have a very personal understanding of rural depopulation and economic stagnation.

I wonder if there are tactics being learned by other governments (or future potential rioters!) here about how to deal with ongoing instability caused by rioting. At this scale, these don't happen often, so is there a "meta" being played out by the two sides?

I.e. never. See my previous comment about staying in Africa.

But why are we only applying this "unaffordable luxury" logic to space exploration? Just the film industry spends $136 billion per year. Add videogames and tourism to that, novels and music and professional sport, and cancel all of it, until we have achieved this utopia of yours. It's not like we'll be without - the films and stories created so far will still be around.

You might think it's different, because one is public spending, the other is private. But public spending is (or should be..) just spending we choose to do collectively, instead of individually. If 60% of voters decide a space program is worth pursuing, that's little different than if 60% of moviegoers buy a ticket. You can even pretend that 100% of your taxes go towards homeless shelters, while 100% of their taxes go towards space, if it makes you happy.

In my opinion, this is a benefit, because over time you learn the seasonal harvests. It becomes quite comforting and fun to have your meals change over time. Additionally you are supporting local farmers who do the important and incredibly difficult work of growing diverse crops to sell direct to communities rather than cash crops for corporate sellers.
Two things:

1. Why does the article in particular upset you? You talk about how J looks like ASCII vomit, and the article is trying to mitigate that. Perhaps it doesn't go far enough, which I would agree with.

2. What does an APL successor look like? Beyond object-orientation (which I don't see as contributing much).
