I think Climate Colab is great. They are coming at it from a slightly different angle, which isn’t necessarily any better or worse. It is very contest oriented, with highly structured judging processes. Our objective is to include as many people in the discussion as possible, opening up the dialogue beyond a judged format (which can feel exclusive and prevent some people who might otherwise contribute their voice). Their approach has more of an academic focus (which is natural being a product of MIT). To me Colab feels more like Kaggle than HN/Reddit. Awesome work though!

It's also hard because batteries don't get lighter as they deplete, so you're landing a plane with the exact same weight as what you took off with, meaning you need much more rugged (and heavy) landing gear. This is extremely significant when you consider that a fully loaded 747-8 is 970,000 lb, of which up to 326,000 lb is fuel (per Wikipedia's numbers).

It's a hard problem, and most proposed solutions are extremely novel and risky, like having an all-battery tugboat that tows the plane up to cruising speed/altitude before returning to the airport to charge or get a battery swap— obviously bad because risky, also adds 50% to runway capacity to land all the tow planes.
As far as i'm aware, there's no proof in the world that suggests that astrology and religion are not completely interchangeable in this respect... Especially the part where "they are praying on peoples innocent stupidity".

It's really frustrating how some people can go from completely rational on something like astrology, to completely irrational when it comes to religion, when they are basically the same thing.

I got into astrology to hit on women. Not so different than men returning to churches to expand their dating pool even if they have to put up with illogical customs, a religious spouse and subject their future children to the same cycle.

I found very many parallels to religion but without the consequences.

With astrology, disagreement doesnt mean “burn the infidels for all eternity” it just means “please dont make fun of me too hard”, which is kind of refreshing for an organized religion

So as a surrogate for religion and concentrated population of women that aren't encumbered by judgment, its basically perfect - I think this goes hand in hand with your observation, there is no reflection on your own decisions. There is no hell, just celestial external control of all your decisions based on what time you were born and having a modicum of foresight into what to expect.

People are so used to being dismissed - specifically women ridiculed by men in a kneejerk reaction - that simply not doing that is an in and the conversation quickly takes other non-astrology directions

This discussion seems to be about actually practicing it and assuming any merit of predictive abilities, all I will add is that I can see how the incentives are misaligned to admitting the issues with it

The black and white categorization serves to justify it's continued use, add to the fact, "feeling better" isn't a result of tackling deep-rooted issues in this instance but getting a fix. You can "feel better" after eating ice cream but your problems are still there. Taking a hit of pleasantries and affirmations might as well be free. She doesn't appreciate the fact that a therapist could be far better for real change.
I guess I need to clarify. I don't want email summaries of blogs - that would be awful. I want websites to offer the ability to send raw RSS feeds over email as a push service.

So basically WebSub but you don't need to run a WebSub server - you could just parse feeds using, for example, a procmail script. Email is already a well-supported protocol; WebSub is not.
I develop mostly ASP.NET + SQL apps for a living, with some Ionic mobile and other stuff thrown in.

I use my MSDN Azure benefit (~$150/mo) to spin up an F4 VM instance with the latest Visual Studio Community base image. I have a disk separate from OS where I keep code, databases, and some powershell to use Chocolatey to install my dev tools. (everything is also in source control, but this separates data from OS and makes spinning up a new VM easier). I RDP into it and do all my work via remote desktop. Cost is ~75$/mo (out of the 150), depending on how much I work. If I leave the VM up all night it costs more. I use the build in Auto-shutdown to help with this.

I haven't tinkered with the new options to use VS Code over SSH, but RDP is working just fine in general. The one issue I can run into is if my client wants on-prem, it can be hard to publish to their production environments. In those cases, I usually resort to "cut and paste deployment".

I use a Surface Pro as my desktop, and it has mRemoteNg (a great remote desktop organizing tool), Office, and Chrome. I do have VS Code on it for one-off stuff, but no SQL Server Express, VS full, etc. as I always found those slowed down my PC. I also keep a chocolatey script for installing desktop apps when I get new hardware.

The end result is both desktop and dev environments are fairly disposable and portable.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other ?s

It made me pay attention to different things than I would normally pay attention to - things I arguably should have paid more attention to. Specifically social cues. I would repeat peoples words in my head over and over. I would go over written words and try to imagine the tone of voice very carefully.

It also made me change my behavior (temporarily), partly as a result of the different way I was paying attention. I got to see how people responded to that changed behavior (they responded very positively).

I can see a few with flipping incentives - flight is a subsituable good and a fuzzy one. While not encouraging it for its own sake is fair the alternatives may be worse.

I know of one case where a coworker ended a business trip by taking vacation days and a several day cross Atlantic cruise ship home which was likely worse than even a plane trip to an island as it didn't involve hauling essentially an entire luxury hotel thousands of miles.

I suspect a better idea for encouragement if anything would be subsidizing efficient clear neccessity/better than current baseline transit. Like say if living closer to work was subsidized along with public transit - both replacing or shortening automobile commutes.

I think that the problem with wealth tax is that a person's wealth is none of your business. It is immoral to think you have the right to someone else's property. Just because you vote to take away people's property does mean it isn't theft and doesn't mean you're any better than a petty envious cretin. People should have the right to make as much money as they like through voluntary transactions that ultimately benefit both parties. And they should be allowed to leave as much of that money to their descendants and they wish. This should be none of your business. You people are evil!
I'm confused by that - the book is absolutely crammed with footnotes, references to, and direct quotes from that archive of material.

Being an Indian citizen and especially from the southern state of Kerala, it's tough to not believe in astrology. It's considered a science in ancient times and a significant energy was spent on perfecting the art/science. For e.g. refer to Kerala school of mathematics, which had done some pretty significant work before Calculus was discovered in Europe and that period most of the mathematicians were also astronomers as well as astrologers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_School_of_Astronomy_and....

My own uncle is an Astrologer and sometimes he makes pretty accurate predictions. He is a retired professor and he does it for a hobby and not for monetary reasons. I don't have a scientific explanation for how it works, but would love to apply some statistics/ML learning with reliable public data available on well known persons whose time and date of birth is published and find a scientific correlation, if at all it exists.

>Limited resources excuses can be answered with 'do a mobile web so all mobiles can'

There's always a delta of capabilities between HTML5+Javascript mobile web app vs native iOS/Android. (E.g. native app has more API access to device hardware like camera video, GPS, accelerometer, multi-touch pinch zoom, etc.) Even if HTML5+Javascript standards get the new capabilities in 2019's iOS 13 and Android 10, both Apple and Google are still adding new features to the native APIs (iOS 14+, Android 11+) which means that standard web apps will always lag behind in some way.

The question is if that delta of capability between web vs native matters for an app like Friended.
Exactly. Unless you're a startup, just have a rotation for people on call. Also, resolving these issues tends to go far more quickly when you have as few people as possible looking at the issue. Those calls where you have multiple engineers debugging are generally a waste of time for most people on the call. It gets even worse when management and product ownership are also on the call asking questions. Like please, for the love of god let me work and I'll get an RCA to you when we find and resolve the issue.

In Rust, it is normally not possible or at least very difficult to create structs where one field references another, and if you were to create a future that borrows some field, awaits a future, and uses the borrowed field, the resulting future will need to have a field with a reference to another.

This is the challenge and async await lets you make this kind of self referential types without unsafe code.

And I haven't met anybody working on the problem who thinks it is easy. But a lot of them do think it's worth the hassle if it will save even a fraction of tens of thousands of lives a year (even if fully autonomous operation is decades out, the semi-autonomous driving enhancements that have come from the research are already saving lives). Adopting and enhancing mass transit is also an excellent idea, but I think it's unrealistic to assume that will work exclusively. America has had quite a few decades to decide mass transit is something that everyone will jump on to, and it seems to not be happening.
> So Rails (along with some other web frameworks) implements a clever hack: it tries to route HEAD requests to the same place as it would route GET requests. Then it runs the controller code, and just omits the response body.

I wonder if Rails will fix the default implementation of handling HEAD requests, similar to how they overhauled the default handling of mass assignment of parameters in 2012 (coincidentally, a flaw also exposed via Github) [0]? Obviously, the latter issue posed a much bigger risk to the average Rails app.

For some reason many people are choosing to focus on code readability. This is not how a real-world program would be written. Who actually writes a single train-of-thought implementation without isolating concerns or using any code separation features? No realistic coder would expect their team to be satisfied working with code like this. It’s just a benchmark program, it doesn’t actually fit a use case or solve a problem.

I wonder how fast I can compile my code base with this. On my hexa-core i7-8850h, it often takes more than 4 hours to build everything in full throttle. And I do this quite often, so pain is definitely present. Given the network and disk i/o aren't the bottleneck, having more than 5 times the cores should theoretically reduce the build time at least by 3 folds, conservatively?
It's $15, not $50.

The point is that Rust's borrow checker can't reason about lifetimes very well over function boundaries. It can reason about coarse things that are expressable in the type language, but everything more nuanced than that, such as reasoning about how control flow affects the lifetimes is limited to inside function bodies.

The difference between synchronous code and async code implemented as libraries is that async code involves jumping in and out of functions a lot, while employing runtime library code in between. A piece of code that is conceptually straightforward, may, in the async case, involve multiple returns and restores. In the sync case it doesn't need to do that, since it just blocks the thread and does the processing in other threads and in kernel land.

Rust's async/await support makes it possible to write code that is structurally "straightforward" in a similar way than synchronous code would be. That allows the borrow checker to reason about it in a similar way it would reason about sync code.

It is important to note that business-related property (i.e. your firm, if you also work in it) was not taxed; primary residence value was 70% of the market value; art was not taxed; many investments in small companies or other investments that the Government encouraged were less taxed as well.

In the end, this loopholes and others lead to a very complex tax (thus high administrative costs) as well as a much lower tax base.
