> The supreme question really is if you have a really great OOP code, a really great functional code and a really great procedural code, all achieving the same thing, which would be the best?

IME from a maintenance perspective (which is the only place you really find out what is and isn't good code) procedural is nearly always the answer, stupidly simple imperative logic is easy to follow and debug. In the UI you might want some more functional/event driven code but even then the bulk of it should be procedural. Most "great OOP" I've seen isn't all that OOP anyway, it's mostly procedural code with some OOP features used for name spacing.

Stationary storage sounds like a killer app. 150 charge cycles doesn't sound like much, but if you're using these in combination with solar power, the batteries could serve for almost half a year.
So, because land value assessments are easier than property assessments, we should get a smaller margin of error by switching to a LVT. This is good.

Your other point seems to be that no margin of error is acceptable and we should therefore ditch the whole thing.

It's not clear that the societal pain from somewhat inaccurate tax assessments is great enough that we should just set everything to 0. We have lots of data that 0 property tax leads to housing shortages and rampant speculation (cf. Malta for an example) and if you don't tax land ownership you often end up taxing something productive, like income.
You place the image link and the only thing you have access to is the count, though there is always data about your visitors being captured. If you ever decide to upgrade to the Pro version, which is just $12 per year, you can see all the data that your counter grabbed.

When you upgrade to the Pro version, you will associate your email with the counter. So there is no "password" requirement. If you go to change the text or colors of your counter, and you enter an email that isn't associated with the counter, it will just display an error message that your email address and this counter don't match.

You will get an email with the counter ID and your email association. If you want to change the color or text at any time, you just come to "home base", enter in your counter ID and email, and change it through there.

As for the "tracking" of emails, it's a service I use to send emails. That tracking data isn't actually used for anything.
And in order to change that we would need to vote in the people that foreign powers are hindering the campaigns of.
It seems like there's an overall issue where people feel they can't do anything if the car takes a weird route or drops them off in the wrong place.

Another comment mentioned in the story says the car skipped the drop-off location and inched passed a bus stop, and other people mentioned inefficient routing.

I don't know how the system works, so this might be user error of some kind, but plenty of people are not going to want to get in a taxi if they feel like they have no control over where it's going or where they can get out.
(1) Beware of misclassification if hiring someone full time as a contractor in Canada. In this case the fact that the employee is planning to pick up a side gig is a good indicator they are a genuine contractor instead of a disguised employee. Similarly it helps if the worker provides their own equipment and has responsibility for their own working hours.

(2) Do not offer health and other benefits directly or via an allowance as this is the act of an employer.
(3) Instead build them into the total salary e.g. increase salary by 5k.

Lastly if engaging as a contractor make sure it is for a fixed term (e.g. 6-12 months). Towards the end of the contract initial duration both parties can assess whether the setup still works or whether an employed solution might be more appropriate.

Yeah.

At the high school and college level, the Olympiads for math and CS are pretty analogous. But there's really popular semi-formal coding contests which exist outside academia which don't really have a math equivalent.

I'd say math contests are more popular among high schoolers, and semi-formal coding contests more popular among college students.

Art of Problem Solving (AoPS) [https://artofproblemsolving.com/] is a really good resource, and there's a very healthy online community.

They're also similar in how olympiads are different from the "real thing" (TM).

Academia.SE discussion about this [https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/86451/does-the-...]

As someone who did math olympiads in high school, my 2 cents is that they're a fantastic way to learn how to solve and approach problems and gain intuition. And I'd say intuition mainly comes from solving problems.
Exactly.

I have no idea what you are contributing to the discussion.

When the world made sense...

It would have been around this time - 97/98 - that I first set up Red Hat 4 as a dual boot with Windows 95. No hoops to run through, really, except endless fiddling with PPP to get some sort of internet connection.
The thing came on a magazine cd-rom, and as my pc either didn't do cd-booting or I didn't know it did, I had to cook a couple of floppies from provided images, presumably using my beloved Disk Copy Fast. Download was out of the question. Largest thing I did in that respect back then was StarOffice - a whooping 52 Mb package which took five or six hours, done at night when phone rates were lower.

Later, I got rid of the Windows partition...

Intel is Intel, as unhelpful as that statement is. So these guys are starting on 14nm, while others are pushing ahead to 5 and below. Sure it'll work, but I don't find that competitive in an already crowded smartphone market in the next 2 years.

Bear in mind that the US (IRS) requirements for independent contractors are not really relevant here. The Canadian legislation is what counts. Citizens are classified based on the legislation of the country in which they are working.
Great post. I don't use windows but my girl does. Her compi (Win 10, SSD, 8 GB Ram, i7) has become unusable slow. She does not much besides watching Movies, surfing and using Word. I installed a free reliable antivirus (Avira) when she got it. I will have to look into this problem soon.

Any further suggestion? I will definitely try your recommended programs.

> I don’t like taxes being used to take away property from people just because you want what they have.

This is just a variant of "the left is just jealous of rich people" argument. That's not an argument and I'm not jealous, I'm actually quite rich by most standards, I just don't think it's earned or justified, especially in a country with a vivid history of genocide.
The Atlantic has an interesting article that claims the risk of addiction for ordinary folks isn’t that high.

What became the popular but essentially dubious interpretation of the trends was that the typical opioid victim was a patient who received Oxycontin, Percocet, or Vicodin from her doctor for a tooth extraction or sprained ankle and then stumbled into addiction.

In fact, only 22 to 35 percent of “misusers” of pain medication report receiving drugs from their doctor

Uber/Lyft drivers break the law dozens of times a day. In fact the entire experience is predicated on their ability to pick you up/drop you off in places they shouldn't e.g. out the front of your house.

That’s interesting. I’ve never lived anywhere big enough for machine politics. Around here the school board is populated by moms who are interested in their kids’ education. Maybe too specific to _their_ kids, but at least they aren’t using the school system to further ambitions for higher office.
An office you go to every day is not your average crowded public place.

And maybe Google employees (who are conscientious enough to have a six figures a year job) have perfectly behaved dogs and might be able to handle bringing their dogs to the hardware store - but we are talking about the general population here. Theres also probably a large overlap between people with poorly behaved dogs and people that take their dogs to inappropriate places.

Without casting aspersions on the fine authorship of The Life of a Bear:

* Black Beauty is a phenomenally well-written book, with fair comparisons to Bronte, Hardy and Dickens; and is certainly not viewed as a "children's book"

* written about horses at a time when horses were the world's most owned animal;

* and also at a bleak moment in the Industrial Revolution when the workhouse, child labor, and workplace hazards were at a local maximum.

So a fair mix of good timing and subject matter, combined with an excellent execution.

Anyway tldr everyone should re-read Black Beauty.

What an awesome project. I would love to mess with random stuff like whirlpool strength and see what it does to the game. Efforts like this to make the decompiler output intelligible e.g. meaningful variable names make this much more approachable for a technical person like me without much of the niche platform-specific reverse engineering skills. In fact there are countless games I'd love to dive into like this.
What's HN's stance on publishers posting links directly to HN?

To be clear, this isn't meant as a blast against The Information or ballmers_peak; they're transparent about their affiliation and that this is an article white listed for readers referred by Hacker News. It's also a totally appropriate article for HN.

That said, I kind of wish there was some in-line indicator of a motivated submission source. I guess a downside would be unethical publishers just laundering their submissions through ostensibly unaffiliated accounts, but I'd feel more comfortable knowing that we did have some kind of system here to encourage transparency.

I don’t think they make boobytrapped satellites that explode, but they may remotely activate a self-destruct process which renders abduction pointless.

If they exploded it wouldn’t it create more problems than it solves in terms of more flying debris they have to track as well as friendlies in the same orbital path? (Like when Iridium 33 crashed into a defunct soviet satellite.)
> Heinlein’s 1959 novel Stranger in a Strange Land, which owned a species of cult-status through the 1970s, can be read today only with vicarious embarrassment.

The reviewer dislikes this genre. OK. But it's like sending someone who hates horror to review a history of horror movies. The review tends to say more about the reviewer than the subject.

Assigning me to the review would be the opposite mistake. I just love Heinlein's voice and read his old stuff from time to time to hear it again. From me you'd get a hear-no-evil encomium.

I'd rather hear from a fan of hard sci fi that just hasn't had a chance to read the old masters until lately.
That’s funny, I’m the opposite. I love front-end work. I adore JavaScript when I can write it using TypeScript. I program in React for my job all day and go home and make more React websites for fun. I do appreciate the more backend-y developers who send data to power the front-ends I build.
Lead acid batteries are lousy with a full depth of discharge, but for partial discharges, such as car starter batteries, or solar powered telemetry stations, they can easily have 1000+ cycles of lifetime. If an Iron-ion battery could replace these applications economically, that would be a huge market. Lithium iron-phosphate batteries are great for these purposes, but cost nearly 10x more than lead acid.

The entire purpose of primary education should be to identify, support, and challenge gifted youth. With the boundaries of human knowledge reaching the limits of human understanding, more than ever before we need the "outliers". Easily 90% of kids in any given school (including my own kid, unfortunately) couldn't care any less about getting proper education. Those that do care are truly precious, and they are currently badly screwed by the public school system even _with_ the "gifted" programs in place. And among those who care, there's a small percentage of truly, staggeringly gifted kids. Those must receive disproportionate attention and support. We cannot afford them getting disillusioned and throwing in the towel.

Not sure the economics here are this simple?

It seems like, if this distinction was meaningful, renewable operators would be turning off generation capacity when prices dropped this low. There's some economic, effort, or technological incentive to keep the spiggots on (i.e., either the marginal costs of producing this power are so low there's no incentive for operators to stop, or the costs/risks of stopping it are too high to bother).

Ignoring storage tech, it's also a signal that demand is too inflexible to redistribute power consumption (that is, an opportunity...).

But again, that doesn't really answer my question. I very much realize lots of people do pay interest. But there are also people who don't, and possibly never have, for many years. I'm asking why do they keep those people around as customers if they're literally losing money on them? To me the obvious answer is they're still bringing value, and the only realistic form that can take as I see it seems to be their transaction data.
Maybe they are price competitive, but they have the disadvantage of separating the kids from their parents. Most parents I know are pretty attached to their kids. I know I’m attached to mine.

Obvious missions for a long-mission mobile shuttle like this include

* intercepting and deorbiting space junk

* fixing friendly or sabotaging unfriendly operational satellites

* future weapons platform for offense or defense (say intercepting ground-launched sat-killing missiles)

* on-demand surveillance (with ordinary spy satellites you have to wait until your orbit is in the right spot, adversaries will know when your satellites are above them and adjust their activities to avoid surveillance)

* more routine human activities in LEO (spacecraft assembly, staging for higher orbits or interplanetary activities, shuttling between stations in LEO)

* Netflix and chill with our alien overlords

* Prep for mining activities further out

Actually I think he engages with your point pretty well. You say:

>he simply doesn't have an eye for art

and

>he keeps pretending that the only way to improve is to expend more resources.

But he says:

>By the way, for people who asked me why I don't just learn to do better art myself, this is why. To learn to do better art, I'd need to spend at least 6-12 months. (To think it takes less is insulting to artists.) I just don't have the time to not be writing games.

It seems correct that for him to develop an eye for art, would require him to expend resources.

How is he supposed to develop an eye for art? Listen to all the comments on his posts? I don't think so, random internet comments are rarely a good source of advice. Developing a taste for art that will actually improve his games will take time and study and possibly even trial and error. And applying that taste once it's developed will take even more time. And it seems totally plausible to me that he can't afford to spend those resources.

His argument is very specific to his own situation. But it seems likely to be correct about his own situation.
I'm going to answer this assuming you mean gaining number sense, which is something I didn't realize I was missing until I gained it.

I got my undergrad in math and physics. I was good at math. It wasn't until I had been teaching high school for 3-4 years when some gave me a copy of Shortcut Math by Gerard Kelly. After reading it and practicing the techniques, arithmetic made so much sense. I was able to easily add, subtract, and multiply larger numbers in my head.

Interestingly enough, many of the techniques taught in this book are also part of the common core math curriculum. It's a way to help students gain number sense.

> In addition to winning this illustrious competition, Bouattour and M’Seddi have a few other things in common. Both forewent the traditional trade school that many aspiring French bakers enter at age 16. Both have been professional bakers for less than a decade (as has this year’s winner, former engineer Fabrice Leroy). And both are first-generation Frenchmen with what Bouattour euphemistically dubs ‘origins’: family backgrounds from elsewhere – or in their cases, Tunisia.

> “I stopped thinking of myself as a foreigner a long time ago, but my origins make me the person I am today,” he said. “We all start with the same tools, the same teachers, but some people are going to understand things differently. That has nothing to do with origins; that’s just talent.”

For all the rhetoric on the right about how people from other cultures are not "suitable" for "western" countries - some of the proudest citizens and torch-carriers for tradition, are foreigners.

He didn’t write this blog post to address any of the criticisms; this guy comes across as a “my way or the highway” kind of guy (and hey, if he’s successful in business, good for him).

But he found a topic that makes people want to comment and upvote a lot, giving him tons of exposure, so he would be silly to not keep milking that as much as he can.
