Productivity increases though, don't rely on population, and are the actual driver of economic growth. Growth due to population increase is the baseline rate and shouldn't count because people aren't more prosperous per-capita.
M:N was slower than 1:1 in Rust. That's why it was removed. The problems you cite are problems of async/await, but they can be addressed by just using 1:1 threads.
I also am a senior engineer now because of this tutorial :) I'd taken a mess of CS courses in college but had never done professional web development.

Along with many, many other things, this tutorial taught me the basics of TDD, which for me was the big unlock, keeping me out of the debugger for every little thing.

Many thanks, Michael.

I think now you can define circles and extrusions parametrically. I'm sure I've seen videos of people adjusting circle radii and facet count and it adjusted the parameters and re-tesellated based on the new parameters. Visually you see the polygonal representation you asked for, but at least some things do seem to be parametric underneath if you define them in the proper way.

I also believe I read about parametric model definition being something they are working on more, since so many folks are asking for it. I do hope that comes to fruition. A free parametric modeler would be absolutely lovely.
I always wonder what people who feel it worthwhile to shave off 2 letters from a word do with all the free time they gain.

I had a very similar experience on OfferUp, where a person threatened to kill me via OfferUp Messages after I wouldn't meet him in the middle of a protest (he had driven into the protest, right past the starbucks where I was waiting for him).

OfferUp ignored my report in app, emails and calls, this user has kept accreting more reviews since.

Craigslist has been far safer for me, OfferUp and Facebook Marketplace seem to have peeled off the hot headed 15 to 30 year old user demographic, leaving 40+yo buyers that have been straightforward to deal with.
Since it's obvious, everyone knows it. And since everyone knows it, it's already priced in. You cannot find an edge by acting on widely-known public information.
True. That's the new kind of yield that requires language support and it's only available in async functions. I was referring to what happens when framework or language designers try to allow something like the await keyword in non-async functions; it turns into an epic mess. I know because I tried (as a thought experiment.) :-)

That's a good point.

I think such platforms should be publicly run, perhaps something like a UN-project, and follow absolutist rules of free speech.

To me, something as crucial as a 2 billion strong method of communication (like FB), or the primary platform for web search for 8 billion people (Google, that is) shouldn't be run from a single country, nor be run for profit, nor be subject to private interests.

Especially regarding e.g. Google search, the global political, economic, public opinion shaping, etc power this gives a single private company, and to the country where it resides, is absurd.

Such services should be more like a "total archive" than a reflection of seasonal/regional/private interests, ideologies, and wills.

Indeed. Perhaps counter-intuitively, for many customers.

American agriculture in general and corn growing in particular has been propped up and distorted by pointless subsidies for decades. Now the time has come to pay the piper for artificially manipulating the market.

I'm pretty sure this is due to some really poor surveys, not the actual state of things. There's a number of debunkings, too. [0]

> America might have the greatest level wealth inequality in the world.

According to Wikipedia, the gini wealth coefficient list (as of 2000) goes Namibia, Zimbabwe, Denmark, the world as a whole, Switzerland, and then the US. [1] Most people would not consider Denmark to be a particularly unequal country. For more recent numbers it seems that Russia, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil and China all have a higher proportion of wealth in the hands of the 1% than the US does. [2] That's as of 2016, and I don't think the US was able to 'catch up' that much in the past 3 years.

The arcs seem to make a lot of sense actually, if you consider the law of diminishing returns. One would approach peak X as you become more senior, but you would accelerate toward peak X more quickly at first, since you're new and learning. The difference between knowing your first thing and the 2nd is 100%, while you're 101th thing learned only nets you a 1% gain.

Also this 20 person survey is hardly scientific, so you could probably come up with lots of interesting, alternative ways to display the data. I'm sure there were some compromises made to stay readable and concise.
Why does it have to be "the end of capitalism" ? The world population will not disappear overnight. It will take several decades (at least) for that number to go down at some point in this century, and it has almost nothing to do with global spending, at least not in the short term.
It's a shame that everything's up for grabs...
You can put your money on that, but you would pretty consistently, it turns out, be wrong. Which you would know if you had read the OP.

Profiting off of other people's tendency to trade too much and too confidently is some of the surest money in the market, because regardless of evidence people want to believe that they can positively effect the outcome. Nest eggs are more like soufflés than caramels.
If that is true, I am surprised that Boeing did not use that as a response to the researcher. Instead they responded that they have compiler mitigations in place and could not exploit the vulnerabilities themselves. That response makes me feel like the networks are not entirely seperate.

>After BuzzFeed News began asking questions and Uber learned about the police investigation, that changed. The driver is now off the platform and will remain off unless authorities determine the matter should be dropped, a spokesperson for the ridesharing app said.

So the guy loses his income until the police determines if he's actually guilty or not. Guilty until proven otherwise. Oookay.
Do that in farming, and you'll be dealing with bread riots.

Avoiding bread riots is why every single developed nation on Earth heavily subsidizes its farmers, even when they produce at a loss. The ones that didn't got regime changed by hungry, angry people.

Optimized systems tend to become non-resilient - fragile to external shocks. The last thing I want is a fragile system of food production and distribution.

It's better to pay extra into an inefficient system than deal with famines.
I haven't studied hemp but there are two primary limitations:

1. Corn saps nitrogen from the soil. Soybeans add nitrogen to the soil. Since both are cash crops you want to rotate them. Since hemp is a weed and not a legume it would still might have to be rotated in with soy. It's simply not a cut and swap operation like a line of code :)

2. The government isn't incentivizing hemp so now every acre you swap with hemp not only isn't discounted, the demand for it is a fraction of that of corn.

That and it isn't legal to grow in any of the farm belt. Just because you can grow in CA or CO doesn't mean you can in KS or TN.

maybe we should put some thought into how we can make sure the police use it properly.

This times a million. Do not just make the device accurate, make sure it is very hard for a motivated individual to trick it into being inaccurate, in either direction. Please excuse the terminology, was learned from very elderly engineers, but above foolproof (stupidity), there is twatproof (deliberate misuse) and cuntproof (educated malice). Fully cuntproofing is very hard, but any device like this should be at least fully twatproofed, with at least some attempt at cuntproofing.

Wait a second, there hasn't been a finding yet, even from the police investigation. While this lady seems like she went through an awful experience, we have to maintain our standard of innocent until proven guilty. There's a reason we try to abide by Blackstone's Principle. It wouldn't make any more sense for Uber to just fire the guy without any proof.

That said, this seems like an open-and-shut case. God willing, they'll find this guy guilty and lock him away for forever-and-a-day.
Uber and other ridesharing services should require back-looking dash cams that stream directly to company servers and be accessible and downloadable by both customers and drivers.
I think people aren't skeptical about this because it lines up with what they already expect. That's the case for me.

If the guy is lying and it's all made up, I'd still wager that if you assembled a collection of 130 papers on this topic, at most 10% would be valid [1]. So even if he's wrong, he's probably not wrong.

[1] I have an academic background, and I think invalid papers make it through peer review constantly. Peer review is not what people think it is.

The problem is that these natural market corrections, when they occur with farming, have historically resulted in famine.

Natural, self-correcting famine maybe, but all the same allowing it to occur is understandably undesirable.
A 100 years ago it would take a 1000 people to plant, maintain, and pick a farm that would take a just one person and a machine to do today. Obviously we don't need as many farmers as we did back then and a result of that is the collapse of the food prices.

Do you really care that with all the spending the government does that farmer subsidies are a problem? I'd rather see more people farming than building bombs, evading my privacy for 'security', and wars fought over ideology.
It's even more stupid when you find out that Hangouts is still alive and well for Google Fi customers. I'm one and I haven't stopped using Hangouts, even though most of the people I know on GFi use something else because they read it was being turned off.

The fact is, Google doesn't yet have a replacement for something they stopped developing years ago. It is completely insane.

This doesn't work in farming because it isn't a free market. Most farms are owned by Cargill or Monsanto. And they are all propped up by the federal government.
Try physically assaulting someone at your office, and you'll probably lose your income long before the justice system determines you to be guilty.

I don't need a jury of 12 peers to voluntarily choose to stop associating with you, and neither does your employer. Unless, of course, you think that every firing should be done by a jury trial..?
How does this compare to cask hydrator/cdap? What does the migration from R or python ETLs to this resemble?
Yeah, OfferUp and Facebook Marketplace have taken many of the flaky people off Craigslist, improving CL's reliability.
But this would be common sense and in-line with the fact that this setup is in nearly every confederated cab company in Canada and, IIRC, the US.
> If it was straight stock, then yes it would be rather equivalent to getting cash and then buying stock right away.

I guess this is purely academic for Netflix, but one difference in other companies is that the grant is made ahead of time, and the stock price can rise or fall before it vests.

If (say) you expect the stock to rise with the market, and you expect the market to rise at 7% a year, you might also expect your income from vesting stock to also rise at 7% per year over the vesting period (typically four years) regardless of any raises or promotions.

I have heard of some companies adjusting subsequent grants based on changes in value of invested stock, though. I think policies there vary.
State laws matter more for quality of life, and I’m not going to hold my breath waiting for the backward states to catch up to CA (and other progressive states).
> My first thought is that many light bulbs are not easily accessible. They could be high up, or in a casing that requires a tool to open. So being able to reset them remotely is a practical benefit.

Light bulbs that get installed ARE accessible -- accessible enough to be installed and changed, at the very least, and that's all that's needed.

Remove the bulb, put it in a lamp, turn the lamp on, and push the button that should have been installed for a firmware update.

The "power on, wait, power off, wait," repeated 12 times or whatever should be a LAST RESORT only, imo.
Cool. Where's the proof that he actually did any of this? I mean, other than what that woman said.
It’s worth noting that the Supreme Court case that decided this, Schenck vs United States, was primarily about outlawing anti-draft speech. (In a sense, this actually strengthens the parent comment’s argument; speech which might cause harm, like a fake EAS or anti-draft speech, really should be protected by the 1st Amendment.)
People get fired for misconduct all the time without being "found guilty". Corporate HR does not have a "presumption of innocence".

Uber drivers aren't even employees, they're contractors. You can literally just decide to terminate a contract for any reason as long as you fulfill the terms.

Yeah, valid point. Those other things are factors.

If C didn't allow assignments to be used as expressions, then it wouldn't be an issue.

Chained assignment isn't the only way to use an assignment within an expression, so I think it's still more accurate not to say chained assignment as the cause, but chained assignment might have been a big part of the motion for making assignments expressions instead of just statements.

>Uber spoke to the driver and temporarily suspended him, according to a spokesperson, but said they had a hard time following up with the woman.

>Meanwhile, police are conducting a criminal investigation into the assault, but Uber said they didn’t know about it. Police didn’t seek evidence from Uber, and Uber didn’t ask police what was going on. The driver's suspension ended, and he returned to carrying passengers.

Later:

>But ahead of formal charges, the company depends on victim reports or for police to contact them. Uber doesn’t proactively communicate with police about alleged incidents, a policy based on advice from experts on how to respect victims' privacy, the Uber spokesperson said.

I'm really not sure what Uber is supposed to do here. Fire the drive based on an assault claim that both the driver and the rider claim? They have no other info to go on...

> It now costs more to plant the crop than to pick and sell it.

not sure -- why is this ratio important?
Understandable, and in the same vein of why it is so important for the United States to retain industrial manufacturing capacity (i.e. auto and heavy machinery makers) because you never know when you’ll need to rapidly ramp up production.

Would there be a benefit if we could support and subsidize commercial farms up to a certain size, and no larger, removing the compulsion for ultra-large, mass-industrialization of our agriculture industries?
This is an incredibly helpful explanation. I went from not really knowing what all this mumbo jumbo was about to a useful mental model. Cheers!
I'm being dumb, too I misread my owns library API :(. In any case, it's 2:30am here, I'll just had to bed :D.
Most of the corn and soy produced is not for direct human consumption, but for cattle feed - https://www.usda.gov/sites/default/files/documents/coexisten...

> "Just over 70 percent of the soybeans grown in the United States are used for animal feed..."

These crops are heavily subsidized by the government, which allows the production of meat at a seemingly low price due to low feed costs, but in the end the taxpayer is paying for the actual meat price indirectly through taxes.

Why not reduce the production of soy and corn to reasonable levels, and let the consumers pay for the actual cost of meat?

If the government wants to subsidize crops, do so for fruits and vegetables instead.
You know that production of cement produces CO2, yes?

Every single Windmill needs a massive foundation. Its not like you could put them into the ground like a toothpick. Here are some facts from a windfarming project which i've randomly chosen:

On average, each of these below-ground support systems used 60 truckloads of concrete (750 cubic yards)

Lafarge also supplied 20,000 tons of Type I cement for soil stabilization of approximately 44 miles of roads,...

Just because courts have weakened the First Amendment as the American justice system understands it, does not mean they should have done so (or that their actions were constitutional). Independent of the specific cases mentioned above, citing governmental restrictions on speech as justification for a weaker 1st Amendment feels circular IMHO (since the amendment exists to restrain the gov. in the first place).
AH! Thank you all!
Oh please. Clearly there's a middle ground between outrageous subsidies and obscene overproduction and ... "famine".

We don't need to go full libertarian on these farms. We just need to stop growing so much junk.
Warren Buffet is an interesting case, because his approach seems largely to consist of ways to reduce the N of what he is considering: choose a few bets, bet big, hold for the long term, choose bets where you already understand the market. Sampling, rarely recalculating and selecting subsets of N where the related data is already in cache are all well-understood techniques for addressing computationally-hard problems.
There are no quick easy hacks that give you reliable above market returns. If there were, enough people would use them that the pricing would correct for it because of demand and the above market return opportunity would disappear.
The problem with this entire concept is that every stoner I know is a safer driver while stoned.
If a market correction is caused by overproduction there won't be a famine. The level of production will decrease to align with consumer demand (as opposed to government subsidy demand which is far higher).
It doesn't matter. I don't need a jury of 12 peers to fire an employee, for any reason whatsoever, or no reason whatsoever, and I sure as shit don't need one to can a contractor.

I thought "yr boy" could mean that the publisher was an older father figure. Just checked, John Martin was born in 1930, Bukowski in 1920. So that theory is out.
