I tried to do all the calculations by hand, but eventually realized I needed to make a little custom CAD program like this to help me. I tried more general-purpose CAD programs but couldn't figure out how to set up the constraints I needed.

Anyway I think there's a lot of usefulness in purpose-built online tools like this for generating templates and plans. Such programs are pretty easy to whip up too using the Canvas API and a basic geometric primitives library.
Pyiodide is the CPython interpreter compiled for WASM rather than e.g. X86. So it's not going to be faster than any other CPython build.
I agree that mathematics is much bigger than applied mathematics. However, for precisely this reason, pure mathematics, like philosophy, isn't for everyone.

The main argument for teaching it this way is a pedagogical one. If it took physics to prompt the geniuses of the day to discover calculus, then following in their footsteps is probably the easiest way for us to get there as well.

I don't even think the motivation is primarily about maintaining military support - it's already a given. Even if the US political regime swung far to the left, there's simply no chance they aren't going to bat for Israel in an full scale military conflict. I suspect their spying is much more motivated by anticipating and influencing political and economic events or policy that they have second order interests in - ie trade policy, foreign investments, relationship with China, etc.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Your initial point's thinking isn't evolved enough: in Europe the # I have heard, however I haven't confirm - it does however align with my own understanding, is that 55% of the VAT tax is paid for by a company's profits; companies have to maintain being competitive by not transferring 100% of the tax to consumers, e.g. companies will compete based on how much profit margin they're giving themselves.

I'm not sure how Andrew Yang at least will implement the VAT - it will be 10% VAT vs. Europe's 20% - which will maintain competitiveness with Europe. Likewise, Yang doesn't think income tax is a good idea because he believes you should incentivize and not penalize people who are actually working; tax people who are consuming.

And agreed, there is indeed a planned confusion - psychological trick - that occurs, manipulates people - when something is priced at say $9.97 - where people tend towards not calculating the final price that includes tax, and it otherwise requires people to unnecessarily use mental energy to do calculations if the person wants to stay very price conscious.
If someone was up for parole, you could very easily discover bad behaviour on their part, so they would have serve the full sentence.

Huh? The whole reason license plates exist is to be read. What makes a machine reading it always immoral compared to a human? Particularly the police identifying vehicles they're searching for. Why shouldn't they use technology to help find criminals instead of sitting around watching cars go by with their own eyes?

I once had a problem with my car in a big carpark. I asked the security guard for help and he wanted my license plate number. He typed it into the computer and the camera found my car and panned and zoomed onto it. Amazing! Much easier than trying to explain the location. So there's your non-immoral example and you can stop worrying.

As for privacy. So what? Where are people going in public that's such a secret? If you want to do something secretly, do it in private. If it involves using the public streets, then accept that it's public.

“They use API's to order pizzas, hail Ubers, subscribe to YouTube channels, update parameters for Netflix recommendations, and do lots of other things that have real-world side-effects.”

That’s three POSTs and a PUT, with the appropriate content types; absolute bread-and-butter RESTful interactions. At least try to pick something behaviorally awkward for HTTP, like COPY or SEARCH.

If you can’t see how to express changes to a remote state machine in RESTful terms, with cascading sequences of automatic behaviors and subsequent state updated triggered off the back of that, I seriously doubt your competence to express them any more reliably using plain dumb RPC without a whole host of $UNDEFINED_BEHAVIORs falling out its ass.

Because, get this: what’s important is not the REST/RPC in the middle; it’s the state that exists at each end. And in the wonderful unpredictable hell that is non-deterministic computing, unless your management over time of all that distributed replicated state is solid as rock then your customers’ information WILL go to fuck.

Frankly, the only thing ad-hoc RPC really does is enable lazy irresponsible incompetent coders to ship lazy irresponsible incompetent code that flings shit all over the world with absolutely zero effort. Having had to deal with other web apps’ RPC APIs in the past, I can confirm. They’re a bunch of fucking punks.

At least expressing all interactions as state changes on a remote graph forces you to think in terms of state machines, and ensures a clear and complete set of rules for telling you to go 40x yourself when—whether through idiocy, malice, or the simple inherent reality of race/lock conditions—your request tries to fuck things up. Plus, if everyone’s following a common set of UX/UI patterns, after a while you can likely pull out a whole lot of reusable data formats that everyone can now adopt.

Also, WTF does that Steve Yegge Java rant have to do with distributed system design? There’s one reference that matters here, and this is it:

> If my choice is to pay for cancer treatment or die, you can (and do) charge me literally whatever you want in a capitalist system

One provider might charge a fortune. But then another will come along and realize he can get all this business by charging slightly less than a fortune. Then another comes along and charges slightly less. And so on until they are charging just enough to make a slight profit.

That’s how a healthy market works. But if you put up tons of barriers and rules about who can provide a service and how the service must be performed, the whole competitive system breaks down.

In my experience this is pretty bad advice for a lot of people. Starting a business is 1) almost always more time consuming and stress-inducing than working a normal job, 2) tends to end up being 20% the stuff you enjoy doing and 80% the stuff you don't, and 3) has an incredibly high chance of being really bad for you financially.

Not really. I've been a developer for only four years. In that time I've had two jobs. Both went badly, resulting my losing the job. In both cases my boss started off friendly and encouraging and became more and more impatient with me and disappointed in me.

After the second job ended, earlier this year, I took time off to study some cs topics to improve as a developer in the areas where I seem to have decificts.

I don't know whether I've improved. I don't know whether I'm any good. I don't know whether I have any aptitude for coding. I just started applying for jobs, and I have no confidence, no optimism, no eagerness, and kind of want to disappear into a hole and never emerge.

I like coding, but I don't know whether I should even make an effort to stay in the field. I'm not at risk. I don't think I'm depressed. I'm just despondent.

Every country spies on everyone else, including allies. But the extent and depth of Israeli spying in the U.S. is considered to be particularly extreme for allies. Importantly, there are rarely any repercussions, and Israel never cops to it, which is sort of a slap in the face.

When it was discovered that the U.S. was tapping Angela Merkel's cellphone there was public outrage in Germany, shock in the international community, and substantial consequences in terms of further reduced intelligence cooperation. It's worthwhile to mention that U.S. and German intelligence sharing is much more limited than between the U.S. and Israel, which is why Obama approved the tapping in the first place.

When U.S. espionage efforts in Japan were publicized, Obama ended up apologizing to Shinzo Abe.

AFAIK, the only other ally in recent U.S. history (past 50 years) that came close to the extent and depth of Israeli espionage is France. But nobody in the U.S. gave them a pass, either.

There are countless ways to distinguish Israeli efforts. Attempts to equivocate here basically amount to whataboutism. Until recently it would be hard to make strong value judgments because Israel is of course a sovereign nation with its own self interests, and their obnoxious spying seemed harmless enough considering they know how to keep a secret and were careful not to obstruct finalized Washington policy. But the problem with spying is that it can injure trust, and allies need to be able to trust each other as much as practicable. Now that Israel doesn't even pretend to be non-partisan wrt American politics, and even aggressively lobbied to kill the signed & sealed Iran nuclear deal, their efforts have arguably crossed a line even given the "special relationship" between the U.S. and Israel. (OTOH, I wonder which came first, the stingrays or Trumps public disclosure of secret Israeli intelligence. Perhaps Israel took the risk partly because of their distrust in Trump, either his honesty generally or at least his ability to keep a secret.)
I don't really see how DoH helps because the IP is still flowing between host and client. What does it matter if they can't see the DNS request? They still see the ip values flying between your computer and TheGreatSatan.us.xxx ? Only a VPN can help here anyway. DoH is good for making sure the IP matches up to the host address because it can verify the IP returned is the one that it is in actually rather than a state actor substitution.

I would have identified a lot with what you said, several years ago.

The key advice I'd give: realize you are sabotaging your own relationships when you don't tell your partners how you feel about something.

This is not helping them, you, or the relationship out. It may feel like that because there's "less" arguing, but ultimately you're just poisoning trust in the relationship.

As proof, why do you think your partners might react so negatively when you do put your foot down? I'd offer it's because they're surprised. Completely blindsided. Feeling like they don't know you at all. This doesn't lead to comfort and intimacy.

I'm not saying argue about what kind of food to eat every night, but there's a huge spectrum of communication options between "I agree" and "Let's fight about this." Use them. If you're annoyed by something, say so. If something makes you smile slightly, say so.

Real relationships are built by deepening trust by letting your partner know the real you. Not the "Sure, whatever you want" you. Even if you only have a slight preference.

Constructively arguing, without overly hurt feelings on either side, is a skill like any other. You're not going to get better if you only do it once a year.

And finally... express your own needs. If she isn't doing things for you too, then (a) you aren't being vocal enough about the things that make you happy or (b) she just doesn't care.

Sometimes people just aren't well matched for each other. But I think more often, one "quiet" partner never speaks up about the things they want / need / don't want. And so your partner (who is not a mind-reader) just... doesn't.

Thus, you're unhappy. She's unhappy that you're unhappy. Relationship falls apart.

tl;dr - Sometimes being pushier (in a respectful, active-listening, considerate way) leads to less conflict and more happiness in a relationship.

Don't be scared to be the real you. If they don't like that person, then either work to change or break things off. No one should have to live hiding themselves.
A lot of companies don't take front-end seriously. They don't invest in hiring the guys who will ask these questions and will prefer to pad their ranks with fresh-faced college grads.

What good is it working to improve the fate of our descendants, if it is only going to be taken away from them because they didn't "earn" it?
I’ve seen it pointed out in the case of Tesla’s OTAs, for instance, drivers may get used to the behavior of Autopilot for their car in a certain segment of road and then have an OTA change that behavior without much warning.

(Of course, there are trade-offs here in that OTAs could also bring important safety functionality, such as Tesla’s fix for braking distance on the Model 3.)
Franzen's essay was garbage. There are rebuttals all over the place including from some of the most prominent Climate scientists in the world (e.g. Michael Mann who was asked to fact check a specific accounting of climate modeling, who was then ignored for the more pessimistic framing that Franzen preferred[1]). Tone policing the n+1th article to correct blatant misinformation isn't super useful.

I'd love to see emojis completely banned from all electronic systems.

It's the perfect place to start, when you need to contemplate the (oh so laughable) concept of "illegal data" or even the idea that data itself could ever be illegal.

Emojis are like the child pornography of text characters. I loath to see such things and distance myself from anyone that derives pleasure from it.
