I am so amazed by the genius of making it out of steel. It's just so completely counter intuitive but has accelerated their progress so much.

If they told you the stats of the material, better strength at cryo tempertures meaning mass reduction, higher melting point meaning minimal heat shielding and great thermal conductivity it would be easy to imagine it was some new super composite. Then your head explodes when they tell you it's 2% the cost of what they were using before and it's so easy to work with they don't even need a factory they can just weld it in a field.

Imo Elon is starting to get into contention for greatest engineer of all time.
>life or death decisions that have to be taken without sufficient information.

Sounds like you're describing warfare before Geneva conventions or the somehow permitted US war crimes to me.
Not really. Even at the intended target, it's diffuse enough not to raise body temperature much. Birds could fly through without harm. Under the antenna, there'd be very little microwaves leaking through. Aim anywhere without a homing signal and you lose the coherent beam, making it much more diffuse.

Sure, PMI costs money. If it gets you off of the housing inflation train years earlier than waiting, it might be worth it. If housing prices go down after you finance with PMI, it might not have been worthwhile, but it's hard to know what's going to happen.

It's worth at least looking down the path, and considering the details of your current situation, and not just not considering purchasing at all because you only have 10%, 15%, 18%, or whatever that isn't 20%.

I don't understand how you can be 'underwater' but yet have capital gains. Certainly, selling a house is expensive, and if you put down only 5%, the loan balance could be more than your net sales price.
I've been scrutinizing my package leaflet for tamsulosin. No mention of grapefruit. Revision date October 2017.

The article links to research from 2012. I'm going to guess that the dangers turned out to be small and eat my grapefruit for breakfast tomorrow as planned.
The whole thread is specifically about lottery winners. This is an example of such a thing happening due to juggling skill. It refutes the idea there are no such examples that result from juggling skill.
I worked for quite a lot of companies that had a few planned and random audits by third parties, including government. We did things one way when they were there. We did it totally differently when they weren't. Made me doubt the value of anything other than live surveillance of the company or network, remote and with well-paid person stationed there.
Botched the editing near the examples.

Sizes of intermediates are a big issue.
My thinking on this was that it's the compiler's job to prevent overflow in intermediate values where the final result will not overflow.

When you write

int_32 a,b,c,n;
...
n = (a*b)*c;

that's legal to compute in 32-bit, but requires overflow checking on the intermediates. If an overflow occurs, there will be an overflow in the result. (Although, the case where some values are zero is an issue. Suppose a * b overflows but c is zero so it doesn't matter. That's probably an error.)

Sometimes you have to use larger sized intermediates. For

int_32 m,n,p;
...
n = (m * n) / p;

how big is each part? Above, you'd have to compute (m * n) as a 64-bit product, do a 64-bit divide, and only then check that the result fit in n.
I'll also note, I emailed him a random question and he spent a non-trivial amount of time answering it and just came off as a legitimately decent and helpful person. So piling on, I'm also a fan now.
Germany has plenty of wood, and ~300 years ago the majority of buildings were made from wood, with straw and clay as filler material, and straw roofs.

From my understanding the switch to stone was mostly for fire resistance. City walls lead to very dense cities where fire could spread rapidly. Stone walls with clay tile roofs make it much harder for any fire to spread within a building and to other buildings.

Today we would have the fire fighting techniques and more fire resistant wood panels, but old habits die hard (and we are used to buildings standing for hundreeds of years)
Shooting people from a drone is definitely not a life or death decision. And doing it just because they look like criminals is not a casualty of war, it's outright murder.

Any cop would be in death row for pulling something like this in American Soil.
It might interest you to read the thoughts of the author of APL, search for "notation as a tool of thought", it's the paper he won the Turing award for. Give it a read and see if it softens your resolve on this.
>The dirty secret with things like solar and wind is that in order for them to work reliably they need to have large number of natural gas generators. Because of this and other issues they really pose little threat to total fossil fuel consumption.

The reality is that capital and fuel costs make running coal and gas plants uneconomical because wind and solar do not have a fuel input and low capital costs. Building coal plants is very expensive therefore they need to amortize their capital expenses over as many hours as possible, they have to keep running even if they make a loss per unit of energy. Building a gas plant is very cheap but the fuel costs are significantly higher compared to renewables. What happens is that the gas plant reduces its output during times of high renewable energy instead of keeping it running to amortize costs. In other words it is more economical to run both gas and renewables combined than either of them alone. Your "dirty secret" is just a big fat lie.
Isn't there also another IRL sorting algorithm that works with beads and gravity?

EDIT: I thought couldn't remember the name, turns out it's actually bead sort aka gravity sort. Sometimes things are as simple as they seem.

I have been using Notion and Evernote for this purpose. However, I am not really satisfied. Unfortunately, there is no solution that does exactly what I want and need.

Therefore, I am building my own system.
> After that I just told her to either park in the disabled spots or the mother/child spots. She has more right to them than the lazy boomers and BMW drivers who consider them their private parking spots.

Come on, seriously? You really think it's OK to just park in disabled spaces just because some other people are arseholes too?

As someone with a disabled child, I frequently encounter this kind of self-entitled, selfish behaviour - and I just can't fathom it. How can you be that uncaring?
I don't feel you are really learning anything from this site. It's more like a collection of cheat sheets.
The bar for a new language has become sky high. It takes years and years to even start to become a contender.

I observe this without celebration. It simply is.

Even Google's other languages, some of which have been around just as long, aren't even doing as well as Go.
Sure, but that's why there are armies of programmers writing rules for self driving cars. The "theory of mind" is being developed in the form of control code. It's not easy, but it is accelerated by the data collected in iterative development just like Tesla is doing.
That was my very first thought, seeing that image: Ray Bradbury would be absolutely beaming to see it.
Two car garage? Suburban land use is the problem. It takes a ton of energy to make and power cars, but if you allow people to live in walkable/bikes or places, that energy isn’t necessary.
Gotta say, I didn’t expect Keybase to do this after they announced their partnership back in 2018[0]

Automatically attesting keys with no user consent? Not good. This implies you are happy and willing to add arbitrary attestations to a users profile. For now you presumably have a rationale. But this is a can of worms I don’t think should have been opened.

Your complaint is absolutely not legitimate - you're saying it's fine for your wife to park in disabled spaces just because some other people are arseholes too.
But if the tests are cheap enough you can repeat them and compare. Bringing cost of blood diagnostics down is I think a good idea. I have fitness and health conscious friends who regularly get direct-to-consumer tests as a matter of course. In a few cases they have caught issues very early.

This is understanding there are some false positives, but being able to recognize them and learn to ignore them is better than not testing out of fear you overreact.
At this point in time, does Medium offer much discoverability? I know it used to, but at the moment, it seems like anything that isn't being charged for gets buried. As does much of anything outside of a publication, or not created by a social media influencer.

(and the percentage of people who even check the latest story for a tag has fallen even further since the last redesign).
They talk about it at Google IO, for example.
I know there are 1000 of them 100x smarter than me at all of this, but I have my doubts that the specs for "cold rolled" stainless will hold up after tens of re-entries, as it is effectively being tempered over and over.
There are three levels of scripting you can do:

* None - just ignore the scripting and let the default AI take care of everything. There are some items that can't be used this way, e.g. Teleport and EMP, because the default AI wouldn't know how you'd want to use them.
* Blockly - use the block-based scripting to control your bots. This is what I suggest as the step for newcomers who still want to customize their bots' behavior.
* BotLandScript - this is a subset of JavaScript that I only recommend for people who already know how to code.

Blockly and BotLandScript should have feature parity (not that they do right now, but the differences are somewhat minor given the target audiences for each), so you don't necessarily have to code (or even know how to code) to play Bot Land. Then again, scripting will certainly give you an advantage.
> undermines the philosophy behind the UI - which is to keep the device as absolutely simple as possible.

But you're not keeping it simple, you're just pretending the complexity doesn't exist. The task still needs to be performed, and you've made it far more difficult.

It also looks like a lever lock. Old lever locks tend to be pretty easy to defeat by means easier than cloning the key from an image.
Citation needed. DXM is often packaged with Tylenol, which I believe explains all the liver failure cases we've seen regarding DXM abuse.
The author of this article has a whole set of articles on the Xerox Alto (http://www.righto.com/search/label/alto). This one focuses on the microcode: http://www.righto.com/2016/09/xerox-alto-restoration-day-5-s...
This killed my friend's dad. He was on a bunch of heart drugs and had a pacemaker and everything, but was generally stable. One day, grapefruit comes up in conversation with his doctor, who sternly advises him "never eat grapefruit, it'll mess with your meds!", so he stops eating the grapefruit he'd been having for breakfast every morning for years.

Which promptly hoses up the finely-adjusted dosages, his symptoms suddenly get real weird, the situation spirals out of control, and he's dead in 4 days.

Doctors, please don't rush out of the room. Take time to talk to your patients, and take twice as much time to listen to them. I'm sure he would've mentioned that detail if he'd had time to find the English words.
There's probably a danger-maximum somewhere before 100% replacement, though. Some mix of highly-predictable self-driving cars and poorly-predictable human-driven cars will cause the most accidents

That's an interesting point. Since the technology will be improving at the same time adoption is increasing, I don't know if we'll be able to observe that maximum, but I think you're right. One thing to consider is that once there are a significant number of self-driving cars on the road, they'll start communicating in a much faster and richer way than human drivers are able to communicate. If self-driving cars are able to achieve human collision rates with human drivers, they will be able to achieve much, much lower collision rate with each other. That effect might lower the percentage at which safety starts to improve.

Another variable will be the built environment. Over the years we have developed road systems that are highly enriched with features to assist human drivers, and of course we will begin to do the same for self-driving cars.

Nobody is talking about those improvements right now because they aren't relevant to getting the first cars on the road. The engineers working on self-driving cars have to tackle the hardest version of the problem that will ever exist first, and only then can they start making it easier.

Confession: for years I predicted to my friends that the first autonomous passenger vehicles to coexist with untrained members of the public would be in a theme park or a city center closed to other vehicles, with sensors and other assistance built into the environment, because I thought we'd have to start with an easier version of the problem.
They're fairly unstable.

The trouble is that at the wingtips, if the wing twists up, aerodynamics forces tend to push it more up. So there's a positive feedback loop.

Another problem is that if you yaw slightly, the yawed backward wing gets more straight on airflow, and the forward wing gets less, causing a stronger yaw force. Again, positive feedback loop.

This is very nice and effective. I just wish you had spent time in using the real world examples related to the server configs, instead of using the examples of hello-world, list of a, b, c, etc.
I think the other comments were interpreting this as "where did you find the time?" rather than "where did you find the other resources to support that time?" (e.g. money and motivation). I've been maintaining a huge FAQ since I've gotten these questions a lot over the last four years, and this one in particular should answer the question: https://github.com/Adam13531/BotLand/wiki/FAQ#how-are-you-af...

I linked that rather than copy/pasting it because you may find other answers interesting on that page. :)

EDIT: I should clarify that 5000 hours is roughly the number of hours that I streamed, not the number of hours that I worked on Bot Land. There were way more hours spent in the background doing all sorts of things (including coding), but the majority of the actual development was on-stream.
Or maybe because it is a useful and productive language?
30+ years experience here.

If you are any good, you will be working at the edge of your competence all the time. Sure you will have some processes in place but the real work is going to be new - full of ways to screw up. I thought "Someday I'll be good at this development stuff." Thing is, you won't really. Accept it!

Drop any pretense of ego. You can't be hurt if there is no "target". Do your research of course and then ask the "stupid"/embarrassing question. The guys who don't ask the question will remain ignorant. You will feel a little silly but that will pass and now you will know.

Wow, I didn't expect to see CapitalOne or Edward Jones on that list. I kind of figured it would be a bunch of smaller companies that were either ignorant of the law or, more likely, used to playing fast and loose without consequences.

I'm constantly surprised that people aren't more alarmed at how much china owns the supply chain. It's virtually impossible to make electronics without at VERY LEAST buying components from china. Seems like a lot of power in their hands.

For example, I'm deeply uncomfortable with doing business with china because of the million Uyghurs in concentration camps - but if I want to buy simple passive electronic components to populate a circuit board I've got no other choice?
I think you probably are just not there yet, Rust defintly has a steep learning curve to it, especially if you are used to other paradigms or patterns than those used in the language.

I remember fighting the compiler because I tried to write what I thought of as “beautiful” abstractions, that were basically inspired by my object oriented Python use. Everything and the interaction between everything was a incredibly hard challenge. Until at one point I just gave up and said: “Okay Rust, scrap beautiful code, I’ll just do it your way” and then things started instantly to fall into place.

I am not saying that this is where you are at, but it was like that for me. Do I still struggle with types? Sometimes, but rarely and then it is mostly a mix between lack of focus, lazyness and a mistake somewhere else.
I don't think this would be considered "security through obscurity". Security though obscurity is a security mechanism that relies on a secret only the implementer knows about. Like hiding a key to your house under a specific rock in the yard that only you knows the location of and hopefully isn't discovered by someone else. A puzzle is solvable and would only protect you from people who aren't good at puzzles.

I'd be curious to hear what medical evidence is available that could provide a dosage and frequency that specifically points to DXM and not anything else.

Back when I was on the forums at that time, we were much more worried about frying our minds with dosing 4000mg and disappearing for days at a time into the strangest and scariest hallucinations you could imagine.
Go is by far my favourite language to develop with. After having done Java, C#, C/C++ and python.

I still love functional languages more but for using something in the 'industry', I wouldn't want to use something else anymore.
As of the last time I heard, SpaceX was planning to use an extremely aggressive active cooling system: cold fuel would be bled through many holes in the hull, in a process similar to sweating. The hull may never get above room temperature.
I disagree with your premise. For many people this will force increased personal security and make their accounts more easily recoverable in case they forget their passwords.

I'm something of a security expert, having consulted on architure implemented by several of the largest anti-virus distributors and retailers in the world. My honest opinion is that people need a dramatically better understanding of how domains work. If they want the increased privacy they should need to understand how to setup and use a local domain well enough to find the new location for creating a local account.

For those who cannot do this, their device security and therefore personal privacy is far better served by registering a microsoft account.

Any privacy concerns stemming from trust should be addressed by laws governing the acceptable use of user data. California is already pursuing such laws, and we should be supporting those efforts because they are addressing the true root cause of most modern privacy issues.

What qualifies a language as "pretty basic" and why is that a bad or a good thing?
The FH released did not have the payload capacity they originally intended. The mid-launch fuel bussing was critical to that, and abandoned. Instead they managed to squeeze out more thrust from the engines and make up some of the difference.
What's amazing to me is the same people who write articles like this don't blink at the salaries in Hollywood. A top-tier performer can get over a hundred million dollars per movie. A bottom-tier character actor or below the line talent barely gets by.

The difference in compensation here is nowhere near as bad as what happens in Hollywood.

This is what a lock in Germany and most of Europe looks like: https://proxy.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmax-attachme...

It's the same from both sides (except for the screws, you can only unscrew it from the inside). Both the inside and the outside have a keyhole, and while a key is in one side you can't put a key in all the way from the other side (this way you can lock from the inside, leave the key in, and even someone with the key can't get in).

Normally people don't lock the door while they are inside (maybe at night), on doors facing outside the door handle can't be turned from the outside and you have to use the key to get inside even when the door isn't locked.
It’s worse than that because even once the hardware engineers have identified software as a deficiency and decide that they need to start hiring some software people, it’s the hardware people who will hire the software people to begin with. Will they wind up with good software people? Who knows!
Worse, the hardware people will usually be calling the shots and won’t see past their BOM cost. Will the hardware get a decent CPU? Probably not!
Not sure how the author defines a backdoor, but my definition does not include the addition of a payment feature, even if you don't want to use it.

Yeah, I started off super into self-learning, even before the whole MOOC thing took off. I loved the MIT Open Courseware courses in high school, and I even really liked the central thesis of Illich's Deschooling Society.

Then I started tutoring and teaching. That's when I realized that I'm an extreme outlier. Most people are not particularly motivated and won't put in the hours upon hours of struggle.

The average experience of learning CS in university is just completely alien if you teach yourself how to program as a child. The biggest differences is the emotional labor. There are lots of things that my students would describe as "frustrating" that I have literally never thought of as frustrating (e.g., reading compiler errors). I think it's similar to learning a new language as an adult vs. as a small child.

For those not in the lab business: a low false positive rate and a high false negative rate are useful for confirmatory testing, not for screening. Such tests are terrible for screening. So this might be able to insert itself between the screening test (e.g. mammo, psa, or CXR) and the biopsy, but it won't replace the biopsy because you still have to characterize the cancer for further treatment decisions.

From a market positioning standpoint, it's not bad, because you don't piss off the generalist physicians by stealing their screening role, and you don't piss off the pathologists or surgeons by stealing their biopsies. The question is, does it add sufficient value for the payer to pay?
