Unmagical Realism: The Journalism of Gabriel García Márquez
These are not reason to diss people who enjoy it. They're merely reasons why you don't personally enjoy it.

(I'd like to point out that you can setup games with your friends where you don't get booted out for dying.)
I guess it's a common question because it's usually taught in college because it's probably the simplest after select sort.

Personally I've never found this case myself, but regarding why it's used some times, the O(n²) is the worst case scenario. The best case scenario is O(2n) which is really good, so for lists that are sorted or almost sorted it works well.

Other algorithms like timsort have O(n) for the best case scenario, but O(n) only tells you how many times you go through the loop.
Without actually measuring it, I would expect each iteration of timsort to be at more than twice as expensive as bubble sort, so in this case O(2n) would be cheaper than O(n).

When you know with a certain degree of certainty how is the data you expect in most cases, some times it's kinda easy to make a more efficient algorithm than the one that is the best for the average scenario.

This market has been operational for a couple years now I think:
https://trade.kraken.com/markets/kraken/usdt/usd

That is a San Francisco based exchange with USD deposits and withdrawals. There's been a couple times where tether has been under a dollar during times of high uncertainty (and I think relatively low liquidity of this trading pair), but generally you can trade tether for USD and withdraw here.
Pol Pot and his regime were brutal. To minimize the possibility of dissent, they went after the educated class. Sometimes, simply wearing glasses would be enough to get you killed.
Right. The redaction is to avoid giving them any information (no matter how seemingly useless) that I don't want to give them if they don't already have it (e.g. eye color, weight, etc).

The watermark is what (hopefully) limits the usefulness of the image, by stating when, who and why the image was furnished in a way that is relatively difficult to manipulate.
For a simple (but imperfect, as all are) analogy that should be familiar to HNers, the pre-USSR RSFSR is like the pre-Alphabet Google, the USSR-era RSFSR is like the Alphabet-era Google, and the USSR is to the RSFSR as Alphabet is to Google.

And “Soviet” as an adjective describes organs of the RSFSR, those of any of the other soviet republics that came to constitute the USSR, or of the USSR itself.
Publishing companies in Russia are pretty successful selling DRM-free books, you can download PDF, EPUB, and FB2 as you buy. They just spam Google "download (book title)" search results and sue every website distributing pirated copies.
You're right.

The comment was just mean and didn't give any value to the readers.

I apologize, my bad.

The EU, roughly, sees producers as a vehicle that exists to create jobs, and thus create prosperity for their employees.

Once basic life needs are met, optimizing for customers tends to only good for someone who is living off their savings/welfare/etc. Optimizing for employees is good if you, like the majority of the people on Earth, have to work for a living, or are supported by someone who has to work for a living.
I think in the example the people in question move into a much smaller, hence cheaper house, and use the difference to fund their retirement.
Which is generally supportive of Merkel's plan to increase public charging and goes against the "let them charge at home instead of using public chargers" sentiment.
Crisp | Front-end, Data Science, Backend | https://gocrisp.com | REMOTE | Full-time

Crisp is a fully distributed, data-analytics startup working to reduce food waste by improving forecasting across the supply chain.

We're more interested in the quality of the candidate than any particular tech, but I'm listing what we use so you can decide if it's interesting to you.

- Front-end is built on react, typescript, and apollo.
- Data science uses python, and jupyter. Must be able to code.
- Backend is kotlin, graphql, k8s.

Limited to mid/senior level candidates because we're entirely distributed. We just don't feel like we can adequately support remote, junior candidates at this stage of the company.
weird. In all three I'm using Cloudflare and their certificate
That's not so tiny. Many of the servers that ran the early internet were about that powerful (and, many even running on that very chip). It's interesting that they used the MMU-less version. I would have assumed that since it was a multi-tenant server, they'd want memory management ASAP.

My dryer uses a heat pump similar to refrigeration technology which allows it to dry clothes at a lower energy usage level because it's more efficient than heated air. It's also a condensing dryer so it doesn't spray hot wet lint air out of the side of my house, and has a drain tube I can run straight into my drain pipe next to my washer so I don't have to dump out the water collector every few loads.

While I'm generally a fan of simple appliances in concept, there are several significant changes that have occurred in the last 20 years you might want to just peruse.

As an aside, my dryer has wifi, but I only ever use that feature just to alert me on my phone that the loads are complete. I've never gotten that shitty software to actually start a load successfully. Not even upset about it, I didn't buy it for the wifi.

The internet of things is useless but don't let that hold you back from finding some really efficient modern technology.
For some reason, an operating system that I paid money for and installed on my very personal computer that I also bought for my own buckazoids insists that I create an online account to be able to log in locally.

I'm going to repeat that: in order to use my super-duper computer I had to create an account with Microsoft.

How ridiculous is that?

* Yes, I know I could've faked the machine being offline, then clicked through some gray-on-gray links in 3px font and I'd be granted a reprieve. But, please, as much as I like reading about Windows quirks on Raymond's blog, he is not exactly in position to complain about a device needing an online account to operate.
That's a cop-out. Data use and technology are major issues that are required understanding going forward. Understanding the oil industry is not at all the same as having a basic understanding of technology. Technology usage is only going to grow in scale.
They're slow on the tech, but I think people are underestimating the manufacturing & know-how advantage.

Tesla makes ~1k cars a day. VW is at 30k+....and has been for years.

Propulsion tech aside that's one hell of a learning curve advantage.
I like my smart clocks (Google Home devices). They needed a phone to set up, but then stay synced. I don't adjust the time. I didn't even realize DST changed until after the gym. Alarms worked correctly. Reminders I set the day before worked correctly.

This is what I want life to be like. Changing clocks is a bullshit problem. It's not worth thought.

You've lost me. Returning an interface isn't returning a concrete thing. It's returning the thing that implements the interface

I'm a very low level functional programmer. I'm big on immutability, big on not using loops and instead using map/flatMap/filter/fold, I tend to roll my own either and option implementations when they don't exist because it's the tidiest way of handling errors I've come across, etc etc. But when it comes to stuff like functors I don't get what it's buying me. What interesting stuff can I do if I know that both an option and a list can be mapped over?

I really need to look more deeply into it at some stage. I might be missing out on some powerful tools. Or it might be a bunch of stuff that's theoretically interesting but practically useless.
"Right after Hillary got the nomination in 2016, it turned to Pro-Hillary."

Isn't that exactly what you'd expect to happen if a lot of the commenters where Democratic voters acting as rational agents in good faith? If I were a Bernie supporter in 2016 who wanted the Democratic candidate (whoever that might end up being) to win, why would I shit on Clinton after she won the nomination? It'd make more sense to support her, and I think that's what a lot of people did. That's certainly exactly what I did.
Please do not use SD cards as a long term backup.

Most cards will suffer bitrot in 5-7 years, and may be completely unreadable in 10+ years.

None of my several handful of cards that are 10+ years old are viable anymore (and they were stored in a climate controlled, low humidity, antistatic bag).
It doesn’t do NAT traversal. There’s a host of situations where you want to sync with a client that’s behind a NATting router which you have no control over.

Also I remember this link being posted multiple times, maybe even more than a year ago. But in the meantime, the FAQ has not changed the text about encryption coming soon.
A look at an actual ICER review provides more info. As an example, this is the working evaluation of Zolgensma, the most expensive drug in the world [0]

1. The ICER review considers the cost of drug as well as the non-drug related healthcare costs (see tables ES11 and ES12 among others)

2. ICER's cost-effectiveness recommendations cover specifically the patient populations that are studied. It is not scientifically valid to draw conclusions about a drug's effectiveness in populations in which the drug hasn't been studied. Companies must study drugs in prespecified patient populations in order to power their studies and create pre-defined statistical analysis plans. Studies that are not adequately powered, properly designed or that dont have predefined statistical analysis plans are not robust methods of discovering whether a drug is save and effective

3. This is a very complex topic and ICER evaluates cost-effective prices at a range of QALY thresholds because this is a subjective number (tables ES20 and ES21)

4. Because of the patent system, drug makers capture most of the consumer surplus before patent expiry,but after patent expiry then consumers capture essentially all of the consumer surplus. Something like 80% of prescriptions written in the US are for generic drugs

Yes, and Bose Einstein statistics can be obtained either by assuming indistinguishable particles, or that this probability distribution fluctuates uniformly. No experiment can decide between these explanations; the physics comes out the same. These are two stories to go with the joint distribution, which is what we actually observe. One could wonder why we need "thought glue" at all to explain particle physics in the language of human-scale physics. The joint distribution is what it is. No need to accept the second story; there are likely others. But one is entitled to roll one's eyes when hearing about indistinguishable particles.

That would imply that producing ethanol requires more fuel than it produces, so producing ethanol costs more money (for fuel) than the resulting fuel can be sold for - which is simply not true.

While you might argue that some cases of bioethanol in the first world are essentially just farm subsidies, producing sugarcane ethanol in favorable conditions (e.g. Brazil) definitely is profitable in the financial sense and also in the CO2 sense because it saves most of CO2 emissions compared to the fossil fuels they replace.

Of course, even in ideal conditions any fuel has zero net emissions and can't possibly have a net negative CO2 contribution by itself (that would require carbon sequestration) but every liter of gasoline/diesel that gets replaced by a low-CO2 fuel means a reduction of CO2 emissions.

You shouldn't compare something against a fictional zero, you compare it against realistic alternatives, so CO2 emissions are not only acceptable but actually desirable if they replace much larger CO2 emissions.
Time for Einstein Gravity Probe C.

Einstein suggested we could directly measure the curvature of the universe by comparing distances between probes located at angles to each other.

They would need to be pretty far apart from each other for this to work, but they can be very small: just an RTG and an antenna.

So hopeful light enough to build up an enormous velocity.

It's not so much about the money as it is about the market share. What gives Google so much control is that if they unilaterally make the change, it goes out to all the existing Chrome users - and it becomes the de facto standard simply because they are the majority.

If and when the new Edge can take enough market share, that might change. But I don't think this is happening anytime soon.
You think we should push our code every single time we want to compile our code, and then download the binary?

I'm as tired of marketing jargon as the next person, but what isn't clear about this? It's a simple statement, encouraging you to think of the brand and its relationship to people and culture, and all the different groups who use Facebook products.
What the hell are you talking about? I'm not libertarian or ranting, I'm saying this is a complex issue and the "LETS REGULATE IT" feels premature given how complex and subtle the issue is, and how hard laws are to change once they're on the books.

That you find this scenario so fantastical is naive...and yes, the Chinese government openly threatening its own citizens abroad is documented. What do you think of the following article, is it cause for concern for you, or do you believe it's just our media misrepresenting China?

They also have no problem black-bagging non-compliant citizens, no matter how high-profile they seem to be:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-45806904

Blackmailing any random employee (with their family safely in the US or another western country) is absolutely not the same as blackmailing an employee with the family still living in China or Russia.

If you have family in China and you have access to government information or IP they want it is not at all far fetched they will do this.

Because setting alarms on normal clocks is really annoying. Or setting the time in the first place.

I assume the clock has wifi to set the time via ntp already, so adding an app was easy, in the eyes of the hardware division, who never think about the complexity of software, or the cost of it.
I tried to buy my $2.50 Old Spice deodorant in Shanghai. The price tag when translated to dollars was over $8.

If you are ever in China, go into a grocery store and look at the aisles. The main reason why American products are priced at 200%-300% the competition is because of tariffs. Tariffs designed to make ordinary middle class American products only affordable by rich elites. It's a very effective cap on market share.
They're close, but not exact. I think concrete on usually given as 13.5 (0.0000135 in/inR), and steel as 11 (0.0000110).

It's this difference that reduces RC life expectancy from 100's of years (as advertised by the concrete industry in the early 1900's) to the neighborhood of 10-50 years that we typically see.

Whereas glass and platinum, for instance, are generally considered to be exact, and are used for precision measuring and calibration.
If anyone wonders why Russia 'cares' so deeply about surrounding itself with aligned buffer states, the horrors it experienced during the second World War may serve as a bit of a hint.
> still think these policies and these people were 'well-meaning'

It’s awfully hard to imagine that Mao actually was hoping that people would die, and that they would die en masse of starvation: even if he was strictly self-serving and heartless, he must have known in the back of his mind that huge populations of starving people are unpredictable and difficult to govern. The only way I can picture this taking place is that he (like all dictators) successfully instilled such fear in his direct reports that they never gave him bad news or challenged what he thought sounded like good ideas at the time.
If you're in San Francisco, go take a look at the thing that recently went up across the street from the Zoo.

The Westerly Condominium 2800 Sloat Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94116
https://goo.gl/maps/vmBTAKoN4grP5GfE7

It's ugly as sin. It's almost Brutalist but without any of the exciting style (which, I say as a fan of Brutalist architecture, is it's only saving grace.)

- - - -

It's very easy to see that, if you replaced all those blocks and blocks of single-family homes around it, that make up the Outer Sunset district today, with similar condo-monsters you could fit another 100,000-200,000 people out there.

One huge problem with that is that there's no infrastructure for those people. Nevermind that the nearest grocery store is over a mile away (in a city that is 7x7 miles square), we could build more grocery stores.

Consider the roads. The only way out of there is East on Sloat or Lincoln, or South on 19th Ave which becomes 280. The Great Highway extension to Lake Merced and Skyline Blvd is closing soon due to the beach reclaiming the area (hello climate change.)

Which reminds me, the Westerly will be beachfront property in a few years. I mean the beach will reach it. Talk about underwater real estate. The whole of the Sunset is going to need a big dike. (Because that worked out so well for New Orleans.)

Anyhow, I had a friend who moved from Outer Sunset to Oakland and his commute time (to downtown SF) was reduced by half. In a lot of ways it makes much more sense to build in the East bay than on the SF peninsula.

(If I were starting a startup I would do it in Davis CA!)

I'm just ranting now...

- - - -

Just converting the existing blocks to e.g. Westerly-style condos isn't the way forward that I personally want to see. The thing is so fucking ugly it makes me sad. It doesn't even try to take advantage of the incredible view. The ocean-facing side ignores the ocean. The ground floor is hostile, it looks and feels like a fortress. "There's no organic flow through. It's like an ant farm." It somehow looms over the Sloat Nursery next door despite the distance. Tiny inner courtyards that are doomed to eternal gloom. I just hate this building so much, especially compared to what it could have been.
It doesn't make any sense to me why some people try to rehabilitate Stalin, Mao and company. There is absolutely nothing to be gained in doing so. In truth, modern Socialism is far removed from Soviet Communism and modern Socialists need to recognize that "but Stalin" is a trite bad-faith argument and the people who employ it should be ridiculed.
I mean sure, if you are in a small apartment or a dorm, but you aren't moving your home/family in a pickup truck. Most adults have far too much stuff. Even then, moving is a very rare event.
In my opinion this is actual problem in Poland nowadays, however:
a. This article was published by a newspaper which has proven track of publishing fake polarizing news,
b. Unfortunately - the so called democratic oposition has also proven track of similar behavior. One may check #SilniRazem (together we are strong) which is kind of meme on Polish Twitter.
3. It is likely that the intent of the original article was to polarize using one-sided reporting of the issue.

To sum up - yet another polarizing click-bait with aim is to cause outrage.
There's a difference between basic optimization, and needing to refactor most of your business logic because your assumptions about databases are boneheaded.

In general, it doesn't matter what you're doing, your basic design patterns need to fit around how a database works. If you don't know this, you'll hit scalability issues far too soon, and it'll take too long to fix them.

> Optimize your SQL query performance after you've released and proven that it's an actual bottleneck.

I've seen one project fail because the design patterns around using the ORM were incorrect. Then I joined another project where the bottleneck (from incorrect use of the ORM) was so bad the product couldn't scale beyond being a demo. It took 2 months to refactor, all because one of the programmers used an ORM incorrectly to save a few hours at the beginning.
Why would that matter for end users?

Users really only care about cost of ownership, ease of use, support, etc. which is to say, they want to use what everyone else is using.
the MakerDAO system has two parts, the DAI token and the MKR token. The MKR token is the governance token the is used to vote on things like interest rates debt ceilings, and other decisions. As people take loans out by over supplying ETH and getting DAI, the interest paid on these loans is used to burn MKR, this provides the incentive to keep DAI stable so that MKR keeps getting burned. If the system collapses then MKR is printed to make up the difference and restore DAI to a dollar. This would be bad for the governance tokens since their stake of MKR would get diluted and the price would go down.
I also want to point out a lot of CO2 comes from the manufacturing process as well, and buying a lightly used vehicle that is a hybrid or runs on gas might actually be better than buying a new car.
Ha! I'm in more "not open" systems, but if there is zero noise, it's great! :-)
> Gemini created an audited, 100% reserve stablecoin; no one uses it. This suggests that there is no genuine demand for stablecoins

How then do you explain DAI?

It seems to me that people don't want an "audited, 100% reserve stablecoin", they want an algorithmic, decentralized stablecoin that can't be screwed up because somebody seized the "100% reserve."
More generally, waiting until the end to write tests is a great way to get poor code coverage, and test cases that are very hard to debug. Unit tests as you go along is the way to go. If you must, reserve system testing until the end.

The Irish potato famine, or the famines in India were absolutely caused by malevolence. You don't 'accidentally' have a famine in a country that is, in the middle of the famine, is a net exporter of food.
