You don't need one more special tool. Keeping that in sync and tracing back will be painful.

Some places do each change / feature as an issue with a description of the rationale and reference the issue using some shorthand syntax in commit messages. This works reasonably well. Just realize how much knowledge and value you will accumulate there. Host a free solution for your issue tracking yourself to avoid losing it all when services close or management decides to change provider. As you are learning now, having a trail of reasons 1, 2, 5, or even 10 years later can be very valuable.

Keep design decisions and architextual overviews in the source code repository as plain text docs using some lightweight markup like .md / .rst. If it is not in the repo it will get lost, outdated, not everyone will have access by default, and you may not get the same level of traceability.

Add to your review checklist that why things were done the way they are should be mentioned. Sometimes that is a separate .md file, other times it is 10-30 lines at the top of a source code file.
But they last forever. For instance, there are still lots of single engine Piper Cubs (popular in Alaska for STOL capability) from the 1940s maintained, in use, and for sale:

(Additionally, a lot of general aviation aircraft have moved to turboprop in the last few decades.)

"Market returns are almost always going to be higher than the borrowing cost"

This sounds like perpetual motion to me. It's like Moore's law - no matter how long it's gone on for, it can't go on forever.

If everybody believes that, and people who actually control trillions of dollars do it on a massive enough scale, just borrow money and invest in stock, then it has to break things down at some point, doesn't it?
You probably want to use older tech. I don't know how electromigration will work on 7nm chips. You also want to make software simple so its easier to test.
Sure we’re a society, but we’re not a post scarcity society and wasteful programs divert money from things that are more important. When we have guaranteed lunches for every school student, then we can talk about subsidizing services for people in rural areas. (Who often aren’t exactly poor, because of the massive subsidies we pay for agriculture.)
How does it become part of the "DNA"? How does that work?
Not being from the UK, I'm not sure of the exact details of the law over there, but from a quick read it appears that pedestrians don't have the right of way except at marked pedestrian crossings. And certainly on a 4 lane 70km/hr posted road they would be expected to exercise good judgement and not step out in front of a car that they could clearly see coming.

https://travel.stackexchange.com/a/123110 is the closest I could find from a UK native. You clearly can't just barrel through a pedestrian that has stepped into the roadway without trying to stop, but there's also no expectation that a car must drive slower than posted on the off chance that somebody jumps out. A car should try to stop if somebody steps in front, but a pedestrian also should be aware of their surroundings and shouldn't step in front.

Unless you can show a UK LAW reference that peds have right of way on a 4 lane road without a pedestrian crossing? Do you have local knowledge or are you just making assumptions about a foreign country?
Sorry, I should have clarified - On the one hand, we have an unprecedented level of maturity and quality in the materials of instruction available to be curated. This is what I meant by saying that a motivated learner combined with a good curator/teacher has greater opportunities than ever. However, the standards of testing, the methods of evaluation, and the requirements of learning for a given grade level have all been slowly backsliding for nearly a century on average. So while we have some of the best access to materials ever, we have lower expectations of what their abilities should be, and cruder methods of evaluating them being applied more broadly (algorithmic essay grading, anyone?).

Or perhaps I'm seeing this wrong, and comparing high standards of education for a different era and cohort group against a much broader cohort group that, if I were comparing them against an earlier era, are in fact much better off than they used to be?
FP (specifically the Haskell / Scala style) is easier to reason about in large scale applications. In particular, when using distributed systems.

Two reasons:

Immutability guarentees that the variable name changes when the underlying data is changed. Therefore, we don't have to track complicated state through the program or in other threads and processes.

The type system catches many errors at compiletime. Fewer tests and easier to test. The trade-off is that the type system is slightly more complicated. Yes, it does have to be FP to handle this properly (type inference and higher order functions make it manageable).
Ugh. Was so happy to read this title, thought I could finally stop work on reverse engineering the app's offline tflite engine. I guess this is motivation to pick that project. Back up
> Is there some kind of embedded DSL stuff going on here?

Exactly. It's a (at this point, unofficial) Swift feature called "function builders." The types end up being the same, because the conditionals are represented as wrapper types.

So

if count == 0 {
EmptyView()
} else {
Text("\(count)")
}

would result in a type something like `Conditional<EmptyView, Text>`.

I'm no expert, but perhaps not having to comprise with 27 other nations will allow the UK to negotiate the trade deals that benefit them the most, rather than deals that are agreed upon by a majority of countries in the EU.
You're right that the organic designation is about completely avoiding the usage of certain substances. The article refers to this idea towards the end:

>As the soil becomes compacted and soaked with agrichemicals, the delicate microbiome of the soil is destroyed. The whole point of growing organically is to ensure this planet stays healthy and chemical-free.
Some great alternatives Tether and Bitfinex are MakerDAO and Uniswap. The first one offers a decentralised & transparent stable-coin called DAI. The second one is a decentralized exchange that is also 100% transparent.

These are transparent because they're running as programs on top of of a blockchain (Ethereum). Each and every state change is recorded and the systems can be audited in real-time.

The Maker DAI stablecoin currency is backed by collateral (Ether), and it's currently overcollateralized by about 350%. The system has been remarkably stable, even in the face of the bear market, which resulted on some crazy swings in the price of Ether.

DAI also has a few fiat on-ramps, including Coinbase and Kraken. You can also mint DAI yourself - there's a tutorial on Coinbase where they give you $20 DAI for free, https://www.coinbase.com/earn

What's more is that since these systems are essentially programs (they can be used and called by other programs as "library" ) which means that they can be used as lego bricks to build new things. Some examples are "Pool Together - https://www.pooltogether.us", which is a no-loss lottery system. It combines MakerDao's DAI coin and a decentralized lending system called "Compound".

Please be mindful that all the above projects are still considered experiments and cutting-edge stuff. It will probably still take a few years to mature - however, a lot of new opportunities seem to be opening up in this area.
That’s how I’m reading it. They spray the ground to clear it and the plants are in a container atop the soil.

If the farmer plants in the soil that was treated, it can’t be considered organic for 3 years (unless the substance that was used is certified for organic crops)
It's time we regulate microtargeting
>And why the fuck should jaywalking be illegal

Because it can endanger the car driver too.

Yes streets is for all citizen, including for car driver.

Yes thats why designated crossing place is made, to make it safer for the pedestrians.

>Well, if you look outside of America, you can see that other countries get this right

Sure, from your perspective. But from mine, America is the right one. Even in America sadly they don't enforce it as much as I like.
Well, it's not normal to lose more money than you have, even if you are investing on margin, because obviously that creates risk for the people you owe that they don't want. That's why there are minimum equity requirements and your positions can be liquidated without even a margin call if necessary.
All you need to do is buy 40% of the blockchain
I am the creator of the block chain and I am the only one in the world that can make a 51% attack because I am the only one that own that much of the blockchain so if you all want to make it safe I want to sell 40% of it but the payment direct to me or you will not get me to sign ever I am the one that shut down the blockchain for a 1/2 hr. today just so you would know that I am the one
It may be that I've grossly misunderstood this article. I admit to scanning it because I'm quite busy today, but I'm intrigued with the idea of linking the efficiency of machine learning to the efficiency of human learning. It appears to me that the closest analog to the type of learning they are testing is spaced repetition. Interestingly every spaced repetition algorithm optimises at around 92% (mainly because every one is based on Super Memo's algorithm). I've long suspected that a lower value would be better -- my own spaced repetition algorithm uses 90%. Even if I've totally missed the point, I think it's an interesting idea to experiment with different values.

The only way to know for sure is to plant your own garden. Although when you've had the Japanese beetles or cutworm or potato bugs ravage your harvest, considerations about being 100% organic lose some of their weight and it takes a lot of commitment not to break out the rotenone or Sevin.
I started with "Donald Trump is". Ended up with this. Looks plagiarized to me :)

---

Donald Trump is a serial liar, and we're going to prove it," the group said. "You can take it to the bank: his word is worthless. His mouth is a hotbed of vulgarity and hate."

The group released a statement on Twitter, saying that it would not stop trying to make Trump accountable for his words.

Trump has also been attacked over allegations that he sexually harassed his former wife Ivana, the billionaire's first wife, during their divorce in the 1990s. Trump vehemently denied he'd ever done such a thing.

I didn't use the term 'right of way' did I?

I also said everyone was expected to use common sense.

But, https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/road-users-requ... says

"The most vulnerable road users are pedestrians"

And

"children and older pedestrians who may not be able to judge your speed and could step into the road in front of you. At 40 mph (64 km/h) your vehicle will probably kill any pedestrians it hits. At 20 mph (32 km/h) there is only a 1 in 20 chance of the pedestrian being killed. So kill your speed"

There's no rule saying that a pedestrian should not cross a road, except for a motorway.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/rules-for-pedes...

"find a safe place to cross and where there is space to reach the pavement on the other side. Where there is a crossing nearby, use it."

So if a crossing is safer use it, but they have every right to try to cross the road, using common sense. That's different to the US, where if you try to cross the road at all, outside of a crossing, you're a 'jaywalker'.
I've heard rumors that Taiwan does something similar in preparation for an invasion by mainland China. Specifically that sensitive areas within TSMC facilities are lined with explosives. It makes for a great story, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were true, but I've never been able to find a reliable source for this.
Because Soros is a very important frontman for the real power players and he spends a lot of money in media and the internet to ban content. People think that alex jones got deplatformed because of sandy hook. He wasn't. He got deplatformed because of his neverending attacks on Soros.

"News" organization who relentlessly attack white male privilege defended Soros ( a privileged white male ) and attacked a female jewish feminist hero ( of "Lean In" and Facebook fame ) Sheryl Sandberg.

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/annehelenpetersen/shery...

Can you imagine vox and buzzfeed attacking a female jewish feminist in favor of a white male hedge fund manager?

Financial Times named Soros their "Person of the Year" in 2018.

WashingtonPost is like Soros' personal PR firm. If you want a good laugh, try searching for "Soros" and WashingtonPost. It's strange how a "newspaper" that exist to hold "power to account" surely goes insane defending Soros.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2018/01/26...

And of course there is the NYTimes PR garbage.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/25/business/dealbook/george-...

The "news" says that people who think Soros is a major globalist puppeteer are conspiracy theoriest. And yet the "news" rallies around Soros as if he is some kind of globalist messiah. They report on what Soros says about every major topic and yet claim he isn't that important.

If "news" was really about "holding power to account", we would be getting a lot more hit pieces on Soros, Kissinger, Albright and the people they answer to. But all the "news" does is push PR for these people.
It doesn’t seem moral to regulate a monopoly just because no one else has the chops to compete with it. (If the monopoly engages in anti-competitive behavior then it is fair game for regulation, of course.)

Fascinating read. Thankfully the puritans won out. Imagine a ‘demartialed’ colony. Not one that would be very fit to rebel.
I feel what it really effects is the "signal" itself. Using myself as an example:

If Lego had done this properly, it would have come off as more genuine and would have made me respect the company more. I had believed that Lego was investing into a legitimate product that would have also been beneficial for society.

Given the information the prior poster shared though, I now view it as the company dumping money on the PR team in exchange for better public perception rather than real societal benefit out of goodwill. I have less respect for Lego now despite the virtuous side-effects, because I feel I was purposely misled about their intentions.

Sure, blind kids got some bricks they otherwise wouldn't have had, there is a net positive to society, but to answer your question:

If the goal of that company was to make themselves not appear selfish, then yes, in the end it does matter.

And who is to say that organic carrot you're eating is any better for you. From a pesticide standpoint, almost all of the pesticides we eat (by weight) are natural and possible carcinogens. [1] A person's synthetic pesticide exposure is dwarfed by the natural pesticide chemicals the plants produce themselves (except for farm workers). Dose makes the poison--at the small levels we intake, with normal handling, risk is very low for both categories.

(And don't get me on my soapbox about the villification of glyphosate--it's a shame).

Sure they do. Not in bulk quantities, they take their profits on trading the spread. A lot of trades that they generally only make about a cent per share on each trade.

Market makers have their place, and you wouldnt have the liquidity you'd like if they weren't there. Market makers face relatively low risk as they dont generally hold positions for long, but they can also face severe penalties if theyre supposed to be in the market, but are not. My first boss was fired over a potential $600K USD fine because he took us out of the Options market (as a market maker) for an hour (potential fine was $10K/minute) and refused to accept accountability for his actions.

Also, trades are typically matched on a first in, first out basis with price/time priority. Market makers respond to messages that are essentially a request for liquidity if an appropriate contra order is not sitting on the exchange's order book.

Who gets paid commissions depends on what type of entity is on the other side of the trade and what agreements are in place with the meriad of counterparties involved (e.g. if you want to buy 10K shares of a company, that could be broken into, say, 20 trades of various quantities and prices below a limit until the quantity is fulfilled).

This article makes zero sense. It's about hydroponics - growing plants in water, without soil. But it's complaining about spraying the ground that a greenhouse is built on top of.

Am I missing something, or is glyphosate going into the ground, and the plants are never touching the ground?

Interestingly when I was encountering this myself recently, I discovered that JS finally blocks can return after a function has nominally already returned. Consider the following closure.

console.log('this try was executed and the return ignored')
return 'try block'
} catch (e) {
return 'error block'
} finally {
return 'finally block'

I don't think it's logically valid to take a statistical difference between two places and attribute it entirely to one policy or cultural difference. The US has twice the vehicles per-capita than does the UK which might also have quite a bit to do with this stat. I'm sure there are other confounders as well.

This is a timely thread in my life. Thank you starting it. I do a number of the things mentioned here already. A couple quick questions for some with experience:

1. What are some good resources to get into meditation? I’ve tried several times and I feel like I keep starting in the wrong place with overgeneralized information. I don’t think I know anyone in real life that does it either.

2. How do you deal with some anxieties that might be brought on by age? I find my mind wandering to existential things I’ve never cared about before more and more frequently as I age. I haven’t found a great way to deal with it yet.
