Nice, I have one of those on order right now. (The high-voltage double-ended version.)

The reason I'm going with the double-ended shaft might be interesting to some people here who might be thinking of doing the same thing. The car I'm converting (Mazda RX-8) has a gear-like thing with a magnetic sensor mounted on one end of the crankshaft, and the ECU uses that to figure out the crankshaft speed and orientation. When people swap engines, they usually transfer that device to the new engine, so that the ECU is (sort of) tricked into thinking the engine is still there and it generates all the right can-bus messages to the rest of the car. I haven't tried this yet myself, but I gather that it's the easiest way to get the anti-lock brake system, the power steering, and the tachometer to work properly, and the extra shaft end gives me a convenient place to mount it.

You don't need calculus or that notation. See my

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21301117

in this thread. I keep the math and notation really simple. The only prerequisite is matrix multiplication. I use no calculus or probability. I derive the normal equations in just two simple lines of matrix algebra.

If you want software, there is lots of it or you can write your own easily enough: For the matrix work, might use LINPACK or just write a little Gauss elimination routine for yourself.

Some medical issues spontaneously present and you end up needing an emergency procedure and there’s very little you can do in that situation to control the costs.

In the best case scenario, everything is considered in-network and you are on the hook for up to your annual maximum out of pocket expense.

But for a condition where you can predict a short/medium term future which is going to involve being inundated with medical bills, one thing you absolutely must consider is whether working (earning money) is actually costing you more than not working.

It’s going to vary dramatically depending on the state you live in (and that’s something you need to consider about where you decide to live) particularly if the state expanded Medicaid under ACA.

In cases where there are massive predictable bills, earning a dollar more than the Medicaid eligibility threshold will likely cost you at least $10-$20k per year after tax, but in a failure mode could cost you much, much more. Not to mention there are no premiums - compared to potentially paying the full out of pocket maximum on top of full-bore monthly COBRA premiums after losing a job - if you don’t realize a better option is available.

Getting income down, getting on Medicaid and SNAP, shelters you from any medical bills (you literally never see a bill on Medicaid, and can see a huge network of providers) and that peace of mind can help you focus on healing.

In some states if a medical issue forces you to stop working you can also get short-term disability payments which are entirely tax free, and do not count toward Medicaid eligibility.

It’s important to understand all the options that are possible and under what terms they are accessible, and be willing to do what’s necessary to get access to those benefits when your life depends on it.

This is one of the subtlest, more arcane troll posts I’ve ever read, so I feel duty bound to respond. Hand claps have been part and parcel of Tibetan Buddhist debating for hundreds and hundreds of years. And used exactly in the same way as the emoji...emphasizing a point made by the standing Challenger against the seating Defender, with the clap symbolizing a cutting through ignorance. Obviously, Black Woman Culture (whatever that means) culturally appropriated this well-known flourish from the Tibetans, in particular the Tibetan Buddhist monks who have been victimized so brutally over the last few decades. Much as they stole the ideas of single color robes, white scarves, funny hats and prayer wheels that they grotesquely transformed into fidget spinners, with no appreciation for the historical or religious context in which they were originally developed. The author is an overprivileged Western bully spitting on Tibetan heritage and should be ashamed of herself and her supercilious hegemonic imperialist attitude. Or something like that...I’m not fluent in SJW.

Medicaid as it exists denies a lot of people for various reasons. It has poor coverage and providers aren't obligated to take it so many do not. Simply closing the AHCA/Medicaid gap in the red states who refused to do so years ago isn't going to change much overall and is quite a hollow "victory" for those states.

But at this point we are far from your absolute, unqualified assertions about "are fiercely liberal" and "not welcome". See what I mean?

I probably should have hedged it to some degree, but I feel like you’re being pedantic. Of course there are exceptions to every rule. This was a comment on HN, not a research paper. I was making a generalization, perhaps one worded too broadly, but one that you seem to eventually concede to in the latter part of your last comment.

FWIW, I mentioned your case as an example because I think you suffered a terrible injustice. I can’t stand hypocrisy, and to have things like this being brought forth by people that belong to a party that calls itself the “party of tolerance” disgusts me in a way that I couldn’t fully describe in writing. I don’t even agree with your stance on the issue you donated to, but I think that incidents like yours have a chilling effect on free speech, and that isn’t good for anyone. Too much of this kind of thing happens across the board. I find it fascinating that you seem to be defending the other side in your situation, but I am sure you have your reasons.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
I got my family's high LDL and cholesterol, which normalized for the 2 years I was on keto and stayed low after.

I went from having my GP threatening to put me on Crestor to asking for blood work every month for a while to accepting it was working and probably not going to be the death of me. Apparently dietary cholesterol doesn't really affect blood level.

I'm not an athlete, but I do about 10 miles a day. Nothing special.
Because for-profit healthcare is immoral, wasteful, and inevitably results in scenarios like the above.

A Bismarck system (nonprofit govt sponsored insurance companies that all charge the same and are taken by all doctors) would be fine too, but that's not on the table in the US
From the article:
"ESP based deauthers, to name one, always existed. Don’t yell at us “OMG they’re deauthing all over the city!!!”. Despite this stuff always existing, nobody bothered updating to technologies that work better and are more secure. That is the people you should be yelling at."

I'm not saying you're wrong, or that they're right. However, it seems to me that there has to be a middle ground between draconian signed blobs (which I'm not convinced will solve much for long, either) and the silliness that is the current state of things. Deauths have been used in so many wifi cracking schemes over the years and the fact we still don't seem to care about them (or treat them as harmful interference and blame the device) is getting silly.
> How can you have access to all content while keeping it affordable?

For the same total amount of content produced, they could give everyone access to all of it for the same total revenue they receive now and the only thing that would change is that everyone would have access to all of it.

You don't make more money by having only 20% of the customers even if it means you don't have to share the revenue with four other studios. You make less, because having access to some of the content isn't worth as much as having access to all of the content, so the industry as a whole is providing less value and consequently doing less business.

I would love to know if the creator has plans to use different note forms. Sometimes reading only whole notes has a similar effect to reading all caps lettering... There's less signal coming from the overall shape. The direction of the stem on e.g. a quarter note provides some signal as to where on the staff the note is.

Otherwise this is pretty great! It's akin to something I've wanted to build for years. As a sight-reader akin to the linked video in another thread and former piano teacher, I used to dream of sharing my methods through technology. Nice to see somebody else is doing it.
> This seems like a pretty low-effort write-up.

You're not the audience for the article and that's what this entire thread shows. You missed the fact that you were not the audience, and that makes this a low-effort dismissal. Rather than trying to get the point of the article, you're picking on minutiae and trying to pick it apart. This is why we can't have nice discussions about programming languages.

The audience for the article is: people using, learning, or interested in J, who want to know how to think about loops in a "loopless" way, which the language encourages. The fact that you're talking about linear algebra libraries shows that you're not the audience the article is written for.

None of your points are wrong, in some cases you are literally restating my points, but you're not getting the emphasis. Rather than try to prove the article wrong, why not try to see it for what it is, and who it is aimed for, and leave it at that?
Yes it’s true - if you go to their facility no out of network bills. You may still end up w a bunch for different services but all considered in network. If you have an high deductible plan you'll still pay that whack. If you have gold / platinum no deductible plans you'll pay your co-pay.

You CANNOT go out if network though - that's really the deal / tradeoff.

If you travel a lot, have a fav specialist etc may not be a good fit - a national ppo may work better or us within us coverage for specific trips. Generally you can get $100K coverage for trips > 100 miles away from your home + 1 night away from home as part of your insurance package (exceptions related to traveling for medical work, getting drunk and hurting yourself etc).
There's a case to be made for alternatives to MIT Scheme. A good example of this is the exercises where you might employ the OOP system that SICP describes like the constraint-solver or metacircular evaluator but realize that you could be much more productive if you had some kind of controlled method for generating similar piles of code from some base implementation, something which is found in the object systems like CLOS like GOOPS or ChrisH's SOS or even Emacs's EIEIO here [2].

There's no impediment to completing Chapters 1 & 2 in Clojure, but the first chapters are not what is called to mind by "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" [1].

- Function redefinition is extremely useful required if you want to write your code in a linear fashion as intended. Clojure automatically sets up a major hindrance here.

- A few subchapters explore parallel computation, Clojure is likely to lead you astray here as you try to find directly corresponding functions and why exactly the authors are suggesting.

- Several chapters explore mutable lists in detail. Serious complaints have been made about the suitability of Racket here, where there exists no more of a barrier than that methods which operate on mutable lists are prefixed with a specially named qualifier. Clojure would be functionally impossible here.

- On the plus side, the "JIT" meta-evaluator will be a much more interesting challenge!

You'll notice that all of these issues can be worked around. However, SICP with exercises will take you about a year if you're a serious student.

[1] Huffman trees exercises excluded.

[2] Doing the whole thing in Emacs Lisp is potentially fantastic. I don't know if I can wholeheartedly recommend it, but I would be really pleased if someone wrote tests and built the metaevaluator, compiler and really went the whole nine yards here.
I'm not sure if life hacks and self-psych will make any major impacts on SAD. If you feel down it never hurts to get a mental health consult. I'm from Minnesota so here's more or less how I would deal with winter, ymmv. This list is kind of light-hearted so I hope I'm not offending. Winter is my favorite season so maybe this won't connect very well.

Read lots of books and watch shows to stay away from the gray outside.

Stay in office environments during the day to benefit from florescent lighting.

Take up outdoors activities like skiing, broomball, or hockey (I think it develops a positive association with the winter weather). Otherwise curling is indoor so maybe that would help distract from the weather. Adding friends and beer to all of these events makes them more fun of course.

Feel free to eat heavier foods like cheese curds and pasta. They make you feel good and nobody can tell that you gained 10lbs because you have heavy winter clothes anyway.

Take comfort in talking to strangers and coworkers about how bad the weather is.

Look at the ground during the winter so you don't see the ugly, gray skies. The cold windchill usually forces this anyway.

From some other replies it seems my recollection of the density of calculus in the exercises was incorrect.

However, I do think the math shouldn't be a great hurdle with the right guidance, but:

> If a high-schooler is training for math olympiads or they're on track to study math/CS/etc. at a top-tier university, they'll probably be fine. All the others will likely be completely lost.

This is probably the right answer.

I dont think deleting your account will help,
First off your using a pseudonym so unless your including that on your resume I dont see any potential employer linking your HN account to you.
Secondly I have scanned over your comments and dont see anything that would make you unemployable. I did notice you had some issues in your childhood and were on disability. I also saw that you are very familiar with credit default legislation in Texas, which might suggest a problem there?
I find that many people that have been out of work for a while tend to lose their self confidence, feel like they are worthless...dont believe it, if you can show up on time, not talk back and do what your told there are plenty of companies desperate to hire you, they just dont want the hassles of creditor calls and personal issues. Things might be different in Texas but I doubt it. I would suggest looking into election work maybe, it is my understanding there is an election comming up in a year or so!

Oh, boy, you should really finish reading the book! The second half is amazing. I just looked through the table of contents and almost all the things I remembered most fondly are in chapters 3, 4 and 5. It's all about understanding computing paradigms and related concepts by implementing them. It does circuits, object-oriented programming languages, dataflow languages, logic programming, register machines, garbage collection, compilers, etc.

Throughout the authors have very good taste in choosing the level of detail and realism in which to implement things to let you quickly get at the core ideas without getting bogged down in technical points.

As for the first half only being fit for fortran-programming engineering students, I remember that very differently. I only remember a few examples as requiring calculus, say Newton's method, some numeric integration procedures, symbolic differentiation, power series implemented as lazy lists of coefficients, maybe one or two more. And other than the power series, I don't remember any of those examples as requiring more than just high school calculus ---which makes sense, because I think the course is meant for college freshmen, which will have only completed high school calculus, and probably are taking a more advanced calculus class concurrently.

Although judging from my own undergraduate students it is probably best not to assume most students remember calculus from high school. Plus, I understand there are countries, such as the US, where calculus isn't even compulsory in high school! So maybe removing those few calculus examples would make the book seem friendlier and shorten it by 10 pages or so.
Computer models are used to try to predict the local effects of climate change, not prove whether it’s real. The basic science is settled, and no one needed computers to do it. Heck the hypothesis was first proposed over 100 years ago.

Computer climate models have trouble returning accurate predictions for exactly the same reasons it’s hard to make accurate weather forecasts. They’re attempting to do things on the edge what we know is possible. Personally, I would not call that “flimsy as hell.”

No first-hand experience with SAD, but a few thoughts:

1. Perhaps the change in season promotes some secondary issue, like more mold growth, and that's the real problem that needs to be addressed.

2. One of the better tools for self experiments is a journal. Try to track diet, symptoms and anything else that might come into play.

3. Fasting seems helpful with a variety of issues.
I’m not sure what kind of light therapy you did. I would recommend trying a tanning salon. Try to find beds with high UVB (the “bad” kind). This is better fir getting vitamin D. And they are the cheap beds too. You do t need to stay in long enough to get much of a tan. I feel better after a single session. I do 1 or two short sessions a week.

However, I also crave regular light. So me assumption is that visible light serves a purpose also.
I assume “money” was also a reason?

The most important phrase in that post was this:

We make class hierarchies in order to simplify the code

In fact, much of the abstractions of programming were invented for this reason, and it's unfortunate that a lot of courses don't really teach the why. They tend to start off on the right track with something like "use a loop to repeat a sequence of operations X times", but then get caught up in preaching about abstraction with functions when it's far more intuitive and sensical to approach it from the perspective of "repeat a sequence of operations, with perhaps some small differences in parameters". For the same reason, I think OOP should be taught only after basic arrays (grouping homogenous data together), structures (grouping heterogenous data together) and functions, since OOP is really just another level of organisation that can --- not must, unlike what a lot of people seem to believe --- be applied to code once it becomes complex enough.

The dogmatic attitude towards OOP and treating it like a goal leads to ridiculous explosions in complexity for even the simplest of applications; what can be done by someone who hasn't been indoctrinated in a few lines of code can turn into hundreds of lines instantiating dozens of objects. "Design patterns" helps to amplify that too.
Heh- same with the handle/lever in the hole in the tree...
Unless edited, I don't think that's what GP said. Panics are the way to get stacktraces, not the way to routinely handle errors.

Your top level comment about 403 errors made me assume you did not know about panic. Obviously your particular situation may have prevented it but I've always built Go programs from source (not linking binaries) which means I could always panic whenever I needed a stack trace.
Thanks. How do SICP and HDP compare?

I did a quick glance and HDP seems to use DrRacket, but is the material comparable, with HDP just more appropriate for beginners??
