I have had the same experience and I have given up trying to explain the nuances of Ag to technical engineering type of people. I do really think they solve problems differently and it’s not always compatible with Ag solutions
Prefix tree is the right answer here right? From an interview standpoint.

But my question is: why would you want to roll your own here? Wouldn’t the appropriate move be to look for solutions for your specific use case that’ve already been made? Ie if you’re talking web, I see no reason why a standard database index would work. MySQL’s index, a b-tree, is perfectly serviceable for the question, no? I’m having trouble imaging a situation where an out of the box solution wouldn’t work...

I don’t think I have a deep understanding of efficient data structures. I couldn’t re-implement a red black tree for example without looking it up. I wonder: is it enough to have a cursory understanding of things like runtime complexity, space complexity; understand the different basic data structures and how they have trade offs that can help or hinder different operations, and how that connects to real world work. Especially how different actual solutions use different data structures internally. What I don’t understand is the value from going from cursory understanding of data structures to deep understanding.
The GP is correct and not just being pedantic. This is just click bait.

A battery (life)range is degraded (mostly) by (dis)charging speed, average discharge level and ambient heat.

The bigger the battery, the less strain on each cell, and hence longer life time. I hope tesla is improving its battery, but this title is really bad.
I understand no one wants ten jerks flying their loud drones during summer time at Yosemite's most crowded areas...

But people do and it’s at best annoying to other visitors and at worst dangerous.

Two drone experiences come to mind...

First, hiking in Scotland. Some other guys had drones (3 or 4 of them in a group). Buzzing around what should have been a quiet, relaxing area. The noise was annoying and when the batteries died, the drones landed in less than ideal spots.

Second, camping in the Blue Ridge, at a full-service camp site. Guy in the next site was flying one around while drunk, at low altitude. Then, he passed out and left the drone on. Battery got low and stupid damn thing started calling out “battery low” every 5 minutes for an hour until it finally died.

People are jerks. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Why not have an emissions permit auction? This demonstrably works well for NOx and SOx markets.
That is a valid XHTML tag (if I remember correctly) and can be matched perfectly fine by a regex.
I listen to vinyl because a lot of the music I like never made it to digital.

I have at least 30 albums that simply do not exist as downloads, streaming, or any other digital medium. And there are people today who are still putting out new music in analog formats that will never get a digital release.

And I'm not even much of a music buff. If I have 30 "lost" albums, there must be tens of thousands more out there that simply do not exist to people who restrict themselves to digital formats.

I really don't understand why some people choose to limit themselves to digital. That's like deciding to only eat tacos for the rest of your life.
Given how unrealistic reviving Wunderlist is (almost everyone of the original employees is working on other things inside Microsoft or has left), this ought to be a PR stunt, right? He might as well start from scratch at this point.

There are no situations where an 11 year old having sex with a grown adult man isn’t rape.

Sure, some cultures or religions might say otherwise, but at the end of the day it’s just basic ethics.

It is just semantics, but everything in our life is semantics, so words are important. “Having sex” makes it sound casual and like relationship of equals, which it is not.
Some local police forces in the US have firepower comparable to some small nation’s militaries.

If any sort of true tyranny came to pass in the US, I don’t have much faith in a bunch of rag tag right wing militia men hiding in the woods fighting back with much success.
That’s a relatively recent change. When I first learned MMA around 1995, it was just Mathematica. It was still just Mathematica 10 years later. Then in the last decade they decided to give the language a name independent of Mathematica: I assume with the rollout of their other services/tools beyond the desktop client that use the same language.
> If you add an UBI but don't fundamentally change the way the system works it won't make a difference, companies will just adjust the prices accordingly because more money will be in consumer's pockets (the market is always right! right?).

If you assume prices work according to supply and demand, incorrect. The reason for this is that people also earn money from sources other than UBI.

To give an example, let's say I give every single person in the US, including children, $5. Will companies raise their prices accordingly? Maybe, but the difference in GDP is tiny. The difference in the purchasing power of the average 10 year old with no pocket money though, is vast, since they previously had $0 and now they have $5.

Similarly, UBI will probably result in price increases, but those will be less than the increase in purchasing power of those most in need of UBI.
No. The areas burned in the Amazon are replaced by grazing and farming fields, which are vastly less effective at locking in carbon. They’re also not a replacement for lost ecosystems.
Why would the rich need the proles to buy anything, when their automated factories would make anything they want for them?

The thing is, the rich only have the threat of violence then to keep poorer masses in check. Though there are many kinds of violence, disease, starvation, homelessness.

The thing is, without the dictates of the rich, there will be places they would be unable or unwilling to reach. There, a socialism of even purer kind could start given enough automation. The problem would be hydraulic despotism. Resources like water, oil, metals would be hard to get.
By "standard QM" I mean the "textbook quantum mechanics" which is based in a set of postulates (like for example https://personal.utdallas.edu/~son051000/comp/postulates.pdf) including in some form von Neumann's projection postulate.
does the IPCC ever recommend exact allocations of power production per country? It seems like their report on Mitigation Pathways suggests a really wide range for nuclear, with the high overshoot pathway having an upper-bound of 7x increase in nuclear generation, whereas 5x upper-bound for low overshoot.

I find this line pretty interesting cause it suggests that people may very well arbitrarily ignore nuclear:
"There are large differences in nuclear power between models and across pathways (Kim et al., 2014; Rogelj et al., 2018). One of the reasons for this variation is that the future deployment of nuclear can be constrained by societal preferences assumed in narratives underlying the pathways (O’Neill et al., 2017; van Vuuren et al., 2017b)."

8 years; what I've learned -- working in absolutely huge code bases, good C++ style, good code review culture, intellectual humility.

What I haven't learned: how to thrive in a huge organization with people more bureaucratically ambitious/motivated than you. How to turn a blind eye to broken waterfall method dysfunction. Starting to get to me. Probably looking for the door soon; p.s. entertaining offers for remote (Canada) work.
I think it speaks to how companies buy teams not products most of the time, and it's often tragic for the app itself.

If you are just running a few static Windows servers the slight cost benefit of running Linux for .Net Core is really not that great. If you are doing anything more dynamic where you are rapidly bringing “servers” up and down is where you see the real cost and performance benefits. Of course you can’t run Windows instances with either Fargate or lambda but even with regular ECS (Docker) or autoscaling EC2 instances where you can, Windows costs more, takes more resources, and is slower to launch.
Just because the bleeding is less worse than it was in the early 2000s doesn’t mean the bleeding is good.
I just had a neighbour fly their drone outside my window. It's really noisy and kind of causes anxiety.

So you can call it what you want, but I don't want it near me.

I'll give them a pass this once. Maybe it's new and they just wanted to try it out. But I'm definitely going to take steps to remove it if I hear it again.
Intel and AMD should provide GCC maintainers hardware. It could easily come out of the marketing budget, because benchmarks compiled using gcc would be affected, and they use benchmark numbers in advertising.
>They're noisy. They're scary. Their operators tend to be pushy jerks more often than not.

This reads like the kind of pushback against the horseless carriage.

>Chicagoans called automobiles "buzz wagons" and "devil wagons." Reckless drivers were "scorchers," a word that originally described speeding bicyclists in the 1890s. "Auto Scorchers a Terror," the Tribune declared in 1902 — at a time when about 800 people in a city of 1.7 million had automobile licenses.

>The mayor, an avid bicyclist, threatened to crack down on motorists. "There are a number of young fools, who have more money than brains, who are running these automobiles over the boulevards at express time speed and they are going to get into trouble," Harrison said.

Nope, do not believe so. The short tail with a vertical back is called the Kamm effect. It's a mix between having a practical design and minimizing drag. The numbers do not lie; there is a reason the Prius has an extremely low drag coefficient.

Just think this through on a systems level. Obviously Toyota's engineers are not idiots and would use whatever aerodynamic effects they would since the entire point of the car is maximizing efficiency. If it was more efficient to have a different shape while still remaining a practical automobiu, it would. The entire design of the Prius revolves around this.
It's not improbable if there was sufficient preparation. The country relies on agriculture more than anything,basically a nation of farmers with >100M people of which most are very young and able bodied. 10M people planting 30 trees an hour for 10 hours (12 hours minus breaks) is 300M trees a day.

I could be mistaken but a lot if their concern is not so much about climate change but about preventing drought and famine which is causee by unsustainable farming and over-grazing. It's been a while since I read the wiki page but something like 70-85% of the population directly relies on farming in sub-sahara.

Ask HN: How is the UX Engineer workflow in your company?
In the company I work for, we are having constant misunderstandings between our UX/UI engineer and our web designers.

Our current flow consists of product manager deciding on requirements, UX engineer making mockups, web designer making designs based on the mock ups, all approved by product manager and then sent to developers for implementation. The problem starts when the designers get creative and change what the UX engineer proposed.
I think this happens in many companies where web designers come from a graphic design background.

I never said raise, but adjust.

Amazon will want those UBI money, they'll want you to spend money on their website instead of going to the dentist and we know they are good at it (too much if you ask me).

If the dentist is already paid by taxes, you could have both.
A more positive read would be that this new battery lasts as many charges are necessary for a model 3 equipped with a battery pack of this type to drive 1 million miles. (Which is how I interpreted it.)

AI technology has spread very fast in China because there is no regard for health, safety, or privacy.

A good analogy would be the ability for a company to make a very fuel efficient car in record time..without having to deal with things like air bags, safety features, or regulations.

I don't really think we should be using China as an example of anything to emulate. It's an example of what can happen to our privacy and rights if we aren't careful.

The waveform is deterministic. It does not "collapse" to a randomly chosen value; it continues to be all the values in perptuity.

It's like matrix multiplication: yes you can wind up with more elements after the operation, but the result as a whole is entirely deterministic.

If you defined matrix multiple multiplication where you collapsed the result down to a single unspecified vector, then you would have "randomness" (according to the selection).

Many worlds says "don't choose"; keep the entire matrix, and the results will get larger and larger.

The universe is not fundamentally rolling dice, though it appears that way from your perspective since you can only see a single slice of the matrix.

This just needs some context to make sense, and when you add in the "in robot taxis" that is on the original article, that makes a very sensical context: a vehicle that can carry people.

All language requires these sorts of assumptions; its implicit in pretty much every sentence. For most people, they will understand what is meant very quickly. Could it be better? Sure. But the question is better for whom, and with what implicit assumptions about the world?
Indeed you don't need to ban drones to address irresponsible use. National parks are some of best places to fly them
Absolutely disagree, to the maximum possible extent. My entire job at Google was to find and fix inefficiency in other people’s projects. I didn’t own any projects! But I submitted changes to foreign code daily and I rarely got any kind of pushback.

Working on shared code is so easy at Google because they have a fantastic cross-referenced code browser and search engine, ways to inspect production jobs and configs that anyone can access, and everything is open and visible.

By contrast the other large publicly-traded cloud company where I now work has the opposite culture: no code search worth using, “why are you touching my project?” culture, not enough tests to give anyone confidence in a change. The polar opposite of Google.
The sad thing to me, is that the author is from rural NC - a place that has a history and culture of music made for and by people of backgrounds similar to hers. Bluegrass and folk music still have an audience (see the success of Greensboro-based Carolina Chocolate Drops), but not a ton of prestige, and sadly it's not something I've ever seen taught in public schools.

I don't blame the author for her choice to pursue classical, she didn't know there were options. But not only has the author sacrificed her own talent and well-being to a class of people who would view her community with disdain - she denied her own culture of new talent and life that could have been sorely needed.
I very much agree with this. I had never heard of Sulla or Marius until reading Sallust and that seems very odd considering Caesar's involvement with both. Not to mention that Caesar emulated Sulla's march on Rome. The entire period around the time of the 3rd Punic War seems fascinating and relevant to today and I personally would welcome more insight.

>> The new battery tested is a Li-Ion battery cell with a next-generation “single crystal” NMC cathode and a new advanced electrolyte.

If this is anything like growing single-crystal parts for aircraft, it won't be cheap. The real question should be whether these new battery modules will last twice as long while remaining less than twice as expensive.

>> Controlling the charge to less than 100% state-of-charge also helps push the longevity.

Um, that is cheating. Running any battery at less than capacity will extend its life. You could put two batteries in the car, run them at 50% or alternate between them, and get double the life. No prizes for that.

Partly. When I read his comment I remembered an argument some people had in HN a few months back where they were saying there's no point in listening to music in a car unless you had their particular brand and model of sound system because you don't get the full experience.

My thought at the time was that unless they have a string orchestra in the back seat, they're not getting the full experience.

I still maintain that a string orchestra in the back seat of my car will sound better than FLAC.
The only feature I’m missing with my old old 1Password is Have I Been Pwned integration, and that seems iffy now that it’s shutting down.

Software has switched to a subscriptions, but They don’t offer any benefit over the original purchase price structure to users. It feels like the ultimate admission that the product has reached maturity, and so it’s time to rent seek.

I’ve considered switching to Bitwarden or Firefox Lockwise, but honestly, 1Password still works, and so there isn’t much impetus to migrate.

It's my understanding that the biggest thing other than energy demands holding vertical farming back is the lack of ability to grow staple crops such as wheat, rice and soy. Sure you can grow plenty of low density high water plants, but you can't feed the planet let alone a city on crunchy water.

> It's how people will morally justify the situation saying it's "good enough"

This is a logical fallacy. It can be claimed that any human right can make the population complacent: 5 days work week, public healthcare and so on and there is no evidence to prove it's true.

On the contrary, it's well known that people with free time can become socially and politically engaged, while people working 2 jobs have no time for it.
> Casework and duck-type checks over args and *kwargs

Once you start doing this in python -- beyond any low complexity usage -- you're better off capturing your arguments in their own object and passing this to the function as a single argument. This object can then enforce whatever you want, and your function can now be a class method.

And then you can build a factory for this object that accepts a few args, maybe some keyword parameters. But, once that gets reasonably complex, just rinse and repeat. It's objects, methods and factories all the way down. And unlimited billable hours.
