So that applies only in a minority of cases.

I thought I share with you this semi-wireless analytics monitor I made that can display any stats. It can be used for Youtube creators to monitor their channel or by any webmaster to keep an eye on their traffic. My goal is to make it fully wireless so it can be mounted on a wall and make it look good enough so it can be used as replacement for an art piece on the wall.

Please let me know your thoughts and ideas for improvement.

> I would definitely think stream paradigm is very useful to front-end.

I think it is theoretically possible to mostly deprecate VDOM with this paradigm, leading to better overall performance and control.

> The essential difference in front-end, is the programmer is dealing with continous, realtime signals, and transform it into the graphical interface. This is very different from most request/response style back-end. And the stream is obviously a proper abstraction for modeling this.

Even for the backend though, specifically for concepts like message brokers (or any similar construct based on application) I would think the paradigm is quite useful.

> If you invent a DSL for a stream flow diagram, you can get a lot of very neat equations between source and sink, but for JavaScript it's very hard to abstract away the stream context syntactically.

I personally tend to believe that the ideal DSL (representation) for flow diagrams is a graph (as it encapsulates both the logical and the execution flow), which means in the end of the day any textual representation would be sub-optimal (as any textual representation of any directed graph is sub-optimal and less intuitive compared to drawing the graph itself).
It's not $21/hr at all. It's 21/hr "while driving". If there are a lot of Uber drivers and low demand, they could spend half of their time sitting around earning 0.

Have you considered that there might be a huge population of people out there who smoked weed and did not develop any problems, thus never coming into your orbit?

And your observation could be easily explained in reverse: "I have witnessed secondhand that people who were susceptible to anxiety, agitation, paranoia, and psychosis due to {trauma|genetics|isolation|etc} and other misfortunes in life were also likely to start consuming higher doses of THC earlier in life, and employ other unhealthy ways to numb their mental anguish".

See my reading of the same facts is just as valid as yours, hence neither can claim to be true.
This is extreme. Why use a real-world example? Because people can relate to it. People have seen these types of plots. It could have been a completely fabricated example of an arbitrary hurricane in Florida or Canada or whatever - the point would still be the same. I feel like people are completely missing the point of the article.

Also, my question is : what are the wrong lessons that this article teaches?

It's interesting to note that some time after writing this, Sagan became aware of the work of Jim Tucker, at the University of Virginia, attempting to validate the "past life" reports of children who've offered verifiable details in their accounts. Many children make such claims, but, as Sagan observed, “Young children sometimes report details of a previous life, which upon checking turn out to be accurate and which they could not have known about in any other way than reincarnation.”

I won't assert the truth of it, and I can think of a couple plausible vectors that don't involve consciousness surviving death and into another body (however unlikely they might be), but if it's compelling enough for the author of The Demon Haunted World to suggest it deserves "serious study", I'm the last person in the world to gainsay him.

That’s a straw man. Most motorists wear seat belts, because seat belts prevent the most common injuries (including head injury) in small to medium crashes. Helmets don’t protect motorists from common injuries, while they do protect bicyclists from common injuries.
Although the "Perl" name in "Perl 6" is basically wrong and misleading, it's also the only reason Perl 6 is a blip on anyone's radar.
I haven't used Perl since writing CGI in the 90s, and I'm not a fan of the syntax among other things.

But I'm great with regular expressions. It seems like everyone around me swears regexes are an impossible black magic, and so they think that I'm some epic level wizard. And I have Perl to thank for that.
No need to get grumpy. The wording I've used is just a bit more polite than pointing my finger on the one and only maintainer, you, telling his tonality is totally off and might scare people away.

Cannabis addiction is a bitch. It also is really tough to get off of. If you use too much too often, you can get crazy sweats, horrifying nightmares (that are more real than being awake), irritability and headaches that make you want to relapse.

The worst part about cannabis addiction is it's mostly psychological.
This is interesting, I'm curious what applications this would be useful for. They hint at some potential uses toward the end, but don't elaborate much.

Presumably it'd be useful in applications where the parts would normally fail regularly.

With blurry data, there's not much you can do. The adaption is about to change both the pupil's size (constricting it, like in a pinhole camera) and the lens' shape.

I've tried to learn how to do this myself with very limited success. If I try to force my eyes to become blurry and then unblurry, I can notice some improvement in my ability to resolve images underwater. But this probably takes a lot of practice, and my lens is already starting to harden with age.

How to Teach an Iris Scanner That the Eye It’s Looking at Is Dead
I'm not sure it needs to be an adaptation (in a genetic sense), I think like most things our bodies just get used to it. I used to open my eyes underwater when swimming at the beach as a child on holidays, but not an adult. Having a salt water pool at home probably helped, but now that I rarely go to the beach it stings.
That requires clear and honest guidance as to where those boundaries might lie, though.

Broadly speaking, I am pro-legalization of Pretty Much Everything, on the basis that proper education and appropriate treatment programs for heroin users are better for society than jail time.

But that comes with the need to implement pragmatic, evidence-based policies for how we approach drug use as a society.

A lot of neural development happens before your mid-20s, with a very large chunk happening during your adolescent years. Recreational drug use before your mid-20s, which includes alcohol and nicotine, really has a massive impact on your entire life.

I would argue that "soft" drugs, like low-percentage alcohol (beer and wine), maybe cocoa tea (not purified cocaine), and possibly low-percentage CBD should be relatively safe for adolescents from sixteen onwards.

Medical professionals, feel free to chime in if I'm wrong here. :)

Hard alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, and such, on the other hand, should have some access barrier for those under the age of twenty-five (90th percentile for complete neural development).

I wouldn't advocate an outright ban or criminalization -- if a teenager wants some weed and vodka, they're going to get it -- but putting some barriers in place to discourage consumption for the under-aged would be wise.

All of this, of course, needs to be coupled with comprehensive education.

The abstinence-only approach of "Just Say No" doesn't equip kids to really understand the full impact of the drugs they choose to use, and because of that, there's a lot of misinformation out there, ranging from "weed will make you crazy" to "it's completely safe for kids".

Neither of those things is true, and if we want to empower people to make good decisions, we must first be honest with them about the impact and trade-offs of the options on the table.

That’s some faulty logic. Either your reading of the facts is valid or his reading of the facts is valid, but given they are facts it is not necessarily the case that neither of you is valid.

Note that I’m not saying you are wrong, nor am I saying he is wrong - but I am pointing out that your conclusion that neither of you can claim any truth is an unsound argument.

Furthermore, you also cannot conclude that a huge population of people who took marijuana with high THC content do not have a significant percentage of people who experienced adverse health effects from their drug-taking. To know that you would also need to have done an extensive study to conclude anything.

Now it may be you have done such a thing (or have read such a study) but without presenting such a study (or group of studies) then it’s also speculation.
That wasn't intended as a grumpy remark actually, sorry if it came off as such.

I have a 2018 Honda CR-V and the automatic brakes fire randomly on I405/SR520 here in the Seattle area.

Sorry, are you not aware with the term "gig economy"?
> If you carry the analogy, you're saying the billboards destroying my view through Colorado are somehow paying for my roads. Well, actually taxes pay for my roads.

You are entirely misinterpreting the Brave engineer's good faith argument. The argument wasn't that billboards somehow pay for roads. You introduced that analogy, and the reply showed where your anology falls apart. The argument was that unlike roads, most websites aren't funded by taxes and won't be for the foreseeable future. The engineer also points out some ways Brave ads are different from billboards: they are opt-in, they are personalized, they give you useful tokens for your attention, etc.

It's impossible to ignore that every major browser is subsidized by either user tracking or OS sales. Even the privacy focused Firefox, which I use and love, is funded almost completely by Google ads.

And lastly, one great thing about Brave is it's completely (besides maybe Widevine, which isn't their fault) FOSS, so you are free to fork it and remove the Brave ads functionality. In fact it's probably not even hard to write a script to do it automatically. But no one has successfully funded large scale browser development while being FOSS and not relying on ads.

Also, I know people who would opt-in, though I wouldn't myself.
It is because all upwards mobility has been taken away from the median citizen.

You don't own things anymore, you rent them. They are taken away from you when you can't pay.

And if you own something, that too may be taken away from you or made worse by some problem that is out of your control because the local authority/corporation says "Sorry, nope!"

Humans desire freedom and collaboration. The current society is designed around serfdom and forced decisions.

It’s a component that is there.

I used to sell computers at retail. Probably 5% of customers were mega-rich. One guy dropped $50k on laptops and accessories for his kids for Christmas. Another lady paid me about $5k to run some Ethernet cable, build a fancy desk and setup her workspace.

Your entry level rich person is a surgeon. The Ethernet lady owned a half dozen McDonalds.
To respond to one particular point from the post:

> Once you accept bloat, it’s very hard to claw it back. If your project has multi-minute compiles, people won’t even notice a 10s regression in compile time. Then these pile up, and it gets harder and harder to motivate the work to reduce bloat, because each second gained in compile time becomes such a small fraction of the total.

This particular problem can be addressed head-on, I think. It would seem feasible to have the compiler to distinguish between the target application (library) and the dependencies. Then it could report the compile times as separate values. This could be built into CI/CD tools as a way to catch application level compile time changes.

Of course, this approach wouldn’t tell the entire story, but it would likely serve as a canary in the coal mine at least.

New York begs to differ.

Because of high city density, I can walk to nearly every destination of day-to-day shopping or services. I can commute in 30-40 minutes from (more) affordable Brooklyn to job-packed Manhattan.

I can take a train if I want to read, or a bike if I want to enjoy the view.

Car traffic is pretty slow here, admittedly. But I need a car maybe once or twice a month, and Lyft provides it.

The cost of it living in an apartment, and not your own house with a lawn to tend. I'm fine with that.

Unfortunately, the US lacks another such city, except maybe Chicago. Most US cities are large sprawling villages around a small downtown where all buildings are offices and commerce, and nobody actually lives.

Data scientists (in my opinion as one) should be spending most of our time listening and talking to our colleagues, our clients, our peers, teachers, and - last of all- to the data. Last because we dive into the data searching for things, answers to questions, people asked for and that other people inform our journey and our methods.

Counter-intuitive in regards to the phrase but good ds is people work first and data work like 9th.
Apparently it was an oversight (moving the cone slightly to the right or left on the map) and will be corrected.
> So do what? Contact her local police?

Collect or photograph all the evidence, record every conversation with supervisors, escalate as much as possible internally, then contact local police, and at the same time go to the media. Don't quit, but if necessary let them fire you and then sue. None of this is easy.
As a kid I would go out of my way to fail those tests. The whole curriculum was designed around them, meaning that even if we did score high, any funding gains would just be put towards training us to take the test.

I thought the state was holding the school hostage, threatening to cut funds or shut them down if they ever stopped. We never learned anything about civics or American history. Until I was out of highschool, content regarding atrocities like slavery and the trail of tears was not on the test and that was enough to whitewash the whole curriculum.

Standardized testing is to the U.S. what lead waterpipes were to the roman empire.

I don't see how you have to trust the server unless it's also serving the client bundle. There are many decentralized use cases where you might "bring your own client" (or maybe one trusted server gives it to you) and use the client to interact with other untrusted servers.

You can have a trusted client and an untrusted server.
As soon as your photon interacts with a realistic scene (thermal), I believe it loses coherence with any apparatus you might have prepared in the detector. In short, no, I don't think this is possible, unless you consider idealized environments.
Not OP. When I was a kid I could only see blurry shapes underwater, until one day it was like something clicked and suddenly I could see as clearly as in air. I have no explanation, just an anecdote, and my vision is now poor everywhere.

That's the problem with all of the fatuous interpretations floating around of "level 5" self-driving.

"It has to be able to handle any possible conceivable scenario without human assistance" so people ask things like "will a self-driving car be able to change its own tyre in case of a flat" and "will a self-driving car be able to defend the Earth from an extraterrestrial invasion in order to get to its destination".

They need to update the official definition of level 5 to "must be able to handle any situation that an average human driver could reasonably handle without getting out of the vehicle."

(Although the "level 1" - "level 5" scale is a terrible way to describe autonomous vehicles in any case and needs to be replaced with a measure of how long it's safe for the vehicle to operate without human supervision.)
Whenever the topic of software and cars comes up, since I work in the software industry (with a bit of hardware on the side) it's funny to see that almost everyone I've met thinks I drive something "really high-tech" (I've actually been asked several times if I have a Tesla) but they're all very shocked when they find out what my daily driver is: an early-70s "land-yacht" with no software and minimal electronics, but an upgraded powertrain.

I'm really not a fan of the newer cars with tons of complexity and horrible UX (e.g. touchscreens replacing physical controls.) It could be a bit of a "knowing how the sausage is made" effect too, but I also happen to know quite a few software engineers who are into classic cars as well.
It is not about using taxes to push people out. The feudal nature of Prop 13 is a problem, but people eventually leave anyway. Once the owner leaves, the new owner should be able to bring it to its full potential by building apartments and condos. In most of the country, including the vast majority of the land in every city in California, this is illegal. The only way to maximize the value of the land is to turn it into luxury housing.

Prop 13 is a blunt instrument that rewards speculators more than it protects homeowners. What would be a much better system is some sort of forbearance, that the owner does not have to pay the full property tax until the property is sold, and then the back taxes are paid from the profits.

Immortal entities like corporations should not have Prop 13 protection.
These would not be school contractors.

tramp is the best and well worth knowing.

It is basically emacs over ssh (although there are more possibilities)

You can install emacs on one machine, then use tramp for all the rest.

It's also great for machines that can't run emacs, for example you can edit config files on iot devices.
