DC metro is heavy rail. Light rail is generally single or double trainsets running in the street right-of-way or otherwise mostly at-grade intersections. Toronto's streetcars (but not the subway!), SF's Muni Metro, and Boston's Green Line (but not the other ones!) are well-known examples of light rail in North America.

I think the article tries to go into further depth beyond what a text editor can do on CSV files (filtering, sorting).

Many "street cars" have dedicated lanes, and some sometimes run in tunnels and bridges with no intersections with cars at all. So it's worth explaining what you mean up front.
My high school in Australia (years 7-12) was structured similarly, there was a gifted program for the high performing students.

I don't think there were other tracks, it was pretty much just high achievers classes and than the regular pool of students.

I can remember vividly my parents wanted to send me to private (Catholic) high school after Primary school. I begged not to be separated from my existing friends who were all going to the local public school (which didn't have a great rep). It was only the presence of these gifted classes which convinced my parents to let me go to the public school. Both of my younger sisters were subsequently sent to Catholic School.

My parents pretty much followed the 'tiger parent' stereotype they put enormous pressure on me to succeed I remember I got 93% on a math test once and my Dad yelling at me and berating me for not doing well enough.

My friends thought my parents were insane, especially when I'd tell them I couldn't go to the movies because my parents were making me study for an upcoming test and things like that. None of my friend's parents seemed to give a shit about their grades.

I'm grateful for opportunities I had as a result of my upbringing, I got into the course I wanted at a good university etc. But looking back now decades later it feels like I was robbed of an adolescence. A lot of people have fond memories of their time in high school all that really stands out to me was enormous amount of pressure I felt, I'm honestly surprised I didn't have some sort of breakdown.

I can remember one of my good friends, who I'd be constantly competing with for top marks seemed to breeze through class with about 1/10th of the effort I put in he'd never study for any tests, he'd be writing up his homework 10 minutes before it was due and getting full marks. I always felt like such a fraud compared to him. I got good grades because my parents leaned so hard on me to put in the work, even at the time I was conscious of that. He got good grades because he was naturally gifted and school came 'easily' to him. Today he has two PHD and is still one of the most intelligent people I know.

It’s an incentives problem in the United States. In Japan, for example, the railways are private (so they need to turn a profit) and you usually have supermarkets and department stores on the stations. The stations are the hub. When you look at commuter lines into large cities in the US, you are driving hours to a parking lot with nothing but a platform near by.

That's what regulation does, it restricts the players in a field to the ones who have the resources to follow those regulations. It is definitely a limiting factor on an industry, but I thought we were sort of assuming that the rampant "anyone can play" nature of software was the source of many of the industry's problems right now.

My point is that if someone has to do it, I would A) want the industry to police itself (let me finish) and B) would want individuals to be unable to hide behind corporations, to the extent that is reasonably possible. These together could, I believe, make more of a dent in the problems in the software industry today than any one specific topic of legislation (e.g. privacy laws or digital advertising laws) could.

Imagine if you could lose your software license for writing adware! Would it stop everyone/everything? No, definitely not. Would it give your average corporate software engineer a leg to stand on when they try to say no to their bosses when the business wants to start selling customer data unethically? Hell yes!

"I could lose my license if I add that feature." <- huge impact.

Sorry, you're right. I wasn't thinking with subtyping. Rockostrich demonstrated the other weakness of this approach, but I'll say it outright: if you return a supertype then you've lost information.

It's very important for the type of `fmap f x` to be identical to `x` except in that its "inner" type has been modified. Without that, these kinds of interfaces lose all of their value.

Yeah we had one too. Though, the one we had actually tried. It had an auto mechanics program and a few different trades classes and other more specialized stuff the regular high school didn't have. A lot of those kids actually started doing better themselves when they got expelled and were sent there.
> which is returned to your account as cash which is being mistakenly calculated as additional buying power

Almost, but that's not exactly the issue. In fact, the issue is probably worse. If you write those calls, you definitely get actual, real cash for them. So that's not the problem. But if you wrote deep ITM calls (as is the case here), your stock on the other hand is virtually gone. So the issue is that they compute an incorrect value for the resulting portfolio (you can see it in the screenshot, where it says "$3,999.88 portfolio"; that is definitely wrong). The cash part is correct; to some extent the stock part is correct too, but if you add the outstanding calls in the mix, the portfolio value is in fact pretty much just the cash (plus a small premium).

If there were no patents everyone would be busy working to implement ideas. Innovation would fly and the inequality index would drop like a rock. A lot of the wealth concentrated at megacorps in the form of IP would flow out to any who worked to actually implement ideas. Information cannot be stolen, it can only be copied. The literal definition of theft is to deprive someone of their property. That just doesn't apply to anything information based. There are several claimed intents but at its root it is an excuse to use violence against others to prevent competition, basically the one thing that shouldn't be allowed in civilization.
Robin Hood App Allows Users to Overleverage
They also cause problems for a lot more than software too. I'm not 100% sure that (non-software) patents should be completely abolished, but as just one example of another industry that is harmed by patents, in the medical industry, there is very little incentive to research non-patentable treatments, because getting a monopoly from a patent is so much more profitable. The other argument is that patents provide considerable incentives for certain kinds of medical research. I'm not sure what the solution is there, but I do know the current system is very flawed.
Because there’s only so much money to go around and trying to educate people who don’t want to be educated is expensive. They need very small class sizes to show any improvements and you get very high staff turnover if you concentrate them because teaching apathetic students is bad but teaching hostile or violent ones is just awful.

And any kind of discipline or moving them to special classes or special schools leads to being sued.

Education is not the first or second priority in the school system or things would look quite different.

Optimizing Deep Learning on P3 and P3dn with EFA
Spot on. I live in Minneapolis metro area, and commute to downtown Minneapolis via bus. The "express" bus from the suburb is not frequent enough and does not extend far so I can walk to my house after getting off.

Instead, I drive a good 10+ minutes to a park & ride, and get on the bus for the 45+ minutes ride to downtown. Also the buses could be electric and more comfortable, and have better lane management. Here in MSP, the transit buses can drive on the shoulder which are in terrible shape.
SQLite does a great job of importing CSV, and then you're able to use something like "DB Browser for SQLite"[1] to browse the data.

.mode csv

> I wish I had been better separated from the other kids. I would have been far happier in middle school just hanging around other nice, smart people.

As someone who had both experiences--being in classes that were separated for more advanced students, and being in classes that were not--I second this observation. I was much happier in the separated classes and got much more out of them.

I'm always astounded that there doesn't seem to be a decent general purpose CSV editor/viewer application. Excel is atrocious - it's always dog slow, and it mangles any CSV I've ever opened by trying to interpret the data to format it "smartly".

Having to build a table in a database and import the CSV into that feels a bit like hitting a house fly with a sledgehammer, but it's the most effective way I've seen.
I think this isn't very open, and it would be nice for you to invent a different name than OSS to describe it.

Typo: a "closed manifold" is compact without boundary.

The Poincaré conjecture states that closed simply connected 3-manifolds are all diffeomorphic to the 3-sphere. Even stronger, every closed 3-manifold whose fundamental group is finite is a quotient of the 3-sphere by a discrete subgroup of its group of isometries, SO(4) (called the elliptization theorem, which is what Perelman proved). I've been told some astronomers once looked into whether the cosmic background radiation suggested that we lived in Poincaré dodecahedral space.

Thurston's geometrization conjecture (all proved as of 2012) is that all closed 3-manifolds can be built out of certain 3-manifolds with standard Riemannian geometries by gluing them together along their torus boundaries and by introducing wormholes, essentially. Some interesting cases are the spherical geometries (constant positive curvature, classified above) and hyperbolic geometries (constant negative curvature, also classified by Perelman). The only actually flat closed 3-manifolds are the 10 finite-order mapping tori of the torus -- one example is S^1 x S^1 x S^1, where the 3-dimensional version of the game Asteroids would be played.

There are infinitely many closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds. I don't understand why space can't be negatively curved.

Jeff Weeks has a cool program for flying through different spaces: http://geometrygames.org/CurvedSpaces/index.html

4-manifolds are definitely more complicated. Lots of techniques that work for 3-manifolds and (5+)-manifolds don't work.

Depends what you mean by standups, if you are talking about a status meeting it probably works for most teams.

If you are talking about Scrum though, a stand up should be an opportunity for the team to assess where they are at in the sprint. Then discuss what they need to do to achieve the goal and make a plan for the day that puts them on the right path. Doing this asynchronously is a pain.

This is a very interesting idea and looks like a promising execution - I may try this with one of my repos. I have a question: it seems the only license options are IP-locked.

This is indeed an interesting problem! It looks like a way to sell a commercial license in effect, without selling it in any legal terms.

I wonder how funds acquired via GitRoyalty get distributed, from the legal standpoint, and what makes such distribution different from distributing a share from a sale of a commercial license.
Throwaway cause this is personally embarrassing - have some semblance of a relationship with the opposite sex. I'm in my late twenties and have never been in any sort of romantic relationship. Never had sex or even kissed. I don't know what it is but I keep preventing myself from going through with any of these. I have just about everything else going half decently: I have a well paying job, some friends, hobbies, my own apartment, etc. but something in my psyche doesn't let me venture down that path. I have had a few dates here and there which obviously led to nothing, which leads me to wonder what is wrong with me. Actually committing myself to dating and romantic relationships would be a huge step in my life.
