That doesn't really help if it isn't abundant where it's needed. There's no primordial helium on Earth, all of it is created by alpha decay of radioactive elements. As to the rest of the solar system, all that abundant helium is locked in the bottom of particularly deep gravity wells.

For me they got the UX/UI pretty right since last release, I enjoy it both on mobile and desktop devices.

Anyway, for CI-runner setup, I have a one-liner that worked for me: bigsudo install lean_delivery.gitlab_runner @somehost gitlab_ci_token=yourcommand gitlab_host=yourlabs.io gitlab_runner_limit=4 gitlab_version=11.6

But also a docker run does the job... Well, there's still registration of runner that I did manually, but I just checked ansible documentation and it really looks like I got a fair chance to achieve that too, given all the new modules ansible got since 2.8 to deal with gitlab, including gitlab_runner and gitlab_runners modules: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/gitlab_runne...

So yes, Gitlab strives to keep development and releases coming, that means sometimes foundations move, and that there's a learning curve too, I understand that some people may not like that, but as a dev myself I like it this way, and at the end of the day my team iterates great with GitLab-CI, we got automated review-deploys in less than 5 minutes with just docker-compose and that's really helpful to keep the master branch clean, this allows features to be merged only after they have received product team approval so that's a big win. With GitHub you can also do it with Drone-CI which you might like better because it's easier to setup even though it remains behind GitLab-CI in terms of features that matter to me.
Or even an if else.

Tesla fans will tell you otherwise, but pretty much all of the EVs from "traditional" automakers are more reliable than Tesla vehicles. Cheaper & easier to service too.

I've heard very good things about the Nissan LEAF, Hyundai Ioniq, Hyundai Kona, and Kia Niro. It might be a coincidence but all of these cars are packaged more like traditional cars, i.e. popping the hood allows you to access many of the components.

Replace most of the calculus classes with statistics.

Most people who take calculus in high school will never, ever, do a derivative or integral in their life, nor will they use their understanding of calculus to unlock more mathematical topics.

Most people who never, ever, take a statistics class will get statistical concepts and problems hurled at them from every conceivable angle in both their professional and personal lives. Since I know statistics and math, I enjoy a great deal of trust from people when it comes to the data science work I do, more so than if I were to enter a discussion around building software with non-programmers. And I know this is not because I'm a genius, it's because people don't feel like they know enough about statistics to challenge my claims, even though they will make decisions based on what I tell them. And then we have the people who don't know statistics, but think they do, and start inferring all types of causations based on some insignificant patterns they've found.

If we want more informed voters, managers, employees, politicians, consumers and decision makers in general I cannot overstate how important it is to understand that there is such a thing as different distributions, that you can estimate them, how variance actually works and what "significant" actually means. At least relative to taking the derivative of a third degree polynomial.
> The drawing model is archaic. Every mode seems to have its own kluge to work around such basic tasks as "I want to display a simple table".

It has pros and cons.

The pro is clearly that in Emacs everything is text, and can be processed as text, by using the same commands, keys and macros you use for everything else.

No other editor has this, and I cannot understate how handicapped I feel in those editors where some things are "off limites" and cannot be copied, because it's a designated "GUI" of some sort, instead just... text.

Taking that away from Emcas would IMO be a major loss.

Impaired driving, while it is certainly a concern, gets too much "think of the children/puritanical" influence.

How many people are impaired by lack of sleep? By texting? By lack of or confusing road signs? And while all of those are addressed more or less, none of them are tackled as punitively as DUI.

(And of course different BACs have very different effects, or even the same BAC can affect people differently)

Perhaps extrapolate your statement out to other forms of justice meted out by society and ask if you'd say the same about those crimes?

I'd certainly hope I could get a driving job today if worse came to worse. I did my time and certainly paid my dues. Technically it's been long enough that my crimes are wiped off the record and I can legally not mention them to workplaces/authorities.

It's very easy to demand heavy lifetime justice for everyone you don't sympathise with, a lot harder to make it fair and equitable to the longterm benefit of a society. I honestly don't understand how the US treats their convicted criminals, it's basically a life sentence in many respects.

But you have it backwards. When programming is introduced as maths people see how maths is more than ‘ arithmetic, polynomials, integrals, and derivatives’.

Quite the contrary, in the USA, anyway. Think back to Hearst and the "yellow journalism" era.

Never in the history of the world have individuals had such ease of access to original sources, such as eyewitness accounts, texts of legislation, etc. Yet people generally stay within their bubbles.
In most of North America the governments effectively require you to drive a car through their town planning and public transport policies. This is not a technical problem, and solving it would be more effective in solving the social problems (and many others besides).
Last year I did "Advent of Elixir" at my company with the puzzles from AoC. It was slow paced but I got some people excited about Elixir! I also followed José Valim on Twitch to see how he tackled those.

If you want to stay competitive, you've got to invest some time right before Christmas, so I gave up on that pretty quickly. Instead I did the puzzles at my on pace and spent some extra time playing with the puzzles that I found especially fun:

As a bonus, you get something to show whenever you're asked to share some code when applying for a job!

And then there's the learning factor - the puzzles are progressively more difficult, but I guess still doable for the average programmer. At some point some of them start to feel repetitive, but that's great if you get a good hold on processing data in your language of choice.

Exactly. 24h 50m is the average I calculated after tracking my sleep for over a year. On average, the time that I wake up and go to sleep gets later by 50 minutes each day relative to a 24 hour day.

I'm currently waking up around 2am local time. In two weeks, I'll be waking up around noon.

If I lived on Mars, where the day length is 24h 37m, I would feel right at home (aside from the lack of breathable air).

It's awesome that you're doing this. The inclusion of more people with a CS background in education (and public service more generally) is a huge opportunity for our society.

I think Iv makes some dynamite points:

> What's the internet? where is the cloud? Where are data stored? How do they pass around?

> What's a computer? A smartphone? Where is data stored? Where is computing happening?

In addition, I would try and give your students a flavour for what logic and discrete math are about.

- Basic boolean logic and applications to natural language problems

- For students that are inspired by this, maybe some first order logic, or a classic puzzle or two (Hilbert's Hotel or Russell's paradox)

Finally, I would try and incorporate some applied statistics. There are so many critical statistical concepts that are introduced via calculus (and therefore lost on 90% of the class) that could be introduced in a more concrete manner and have more impact. Examples that come to mind are:

- How bell curves arise in nature

- How power-law distributions arise in language data

- How pareto distributions arise in time-to-event scenarios

A lot of things. A loving, healthy and supportive family above all. Good close friends. Good health, mental and physical. Good genetics.

Also, living in our time, in our part of the world, where technology, wealth and opportunity is everywhere. Being intelligent, and having the opportunity to learn and be curious. Having significant economic freedom.

Having had the luck and skill to learn a profession that's well paid and in high demand. Being in a society where it's acceptable to not use all your energies at work, but take significant unpaid time off work regularly. The market economy, which for all its practical drawbacks provides a lot of opportunity for saving and applying my small degree of personal power and influence, to provide good quality of life for those around me and myself.

Also importantly, which might not be mentioned too much in these contexts, a healthy and interesting sex life. Living in a society where there's plenty of space for safely and consentually living out freakier proclivities, and for having the personal traits that make this possible. A society that has space for and accepts sexual minorities, be it queer, trans, kinky or any of the other variations of the well-known mainstream. And many of these people.

Otherwise, I agree with your premise of a military campaign, the moon landing just wouldn't have happened without all the earlier development of nuclear missiles. Everything about the rockets, their propulsion and their navigation was first developed to successfully bomb the planned targets with the nuclear and thermonuclear warheads.

> Safest in the world, hands down.

Any figures to back that up? It's said that nothing gets stolen in Singapore, until you speak to Singaporeans. Bikes still get stolen for instance. The city seems super clean, but mainly because low paid workers clean the city really often. If a Singaporean visits another country you'll notice that they're used to the city being cleaned often, not so much that they're behaving differently.

Your "Hawker Centers" have people in their 70s bent forward cleaning up tables to some earn money. Those centers are cheap, but why does the benevolent government not care for those people?

Further, Singapore is pretty much a city, nothing more. Being isolated from any other country helps a lot too.

I think you too easily dismiss the "dark sides".

> My kid can run/play freely and I only worry about her running into traffic.

This is the same as a lot of other countries.

IMO the biggest benefit of Singapore is being a small city on pretty much an island.
The water in these can evaporate.
I'd even go as far as telling the founders "I expect you to fix this". If they don't - fuck it and quit.

It's that easy.
That's kinda expected. Once a car becomes a pile of buggy software, someone needs to maintain it and fix bugs. That someone is called a SW engineer and happily charges 200-300/hour. Add on top of that the service dep fees that can be substantial (e.g. I pay ~150/hour for mechanical repairs, but the actual mechanic looks like a guy who works for a minimum wage).
The Volkswagen e-Up and its slightly cheaper but otherwise identical counterparts from Škoda and Seat might fit the bill. They now come with a respectably sized battery (32kwh) and lower prices.

>> Civilisation is the surrender of varying degrees of civil liberty for security and safety.

That's a pretty reductivist way to define civilisation...

From this definition; It sounds to me like there is a certain character/type of people who are redeemed as Civilized based on Govt definition. Thus justifies heavy control over society.

"As a liberal", wouldn't it be more favourable to design the system around liberty of choice for the individual rather than control of a central power?
To be fair that was the Roman Catholic church, which also procecuted the former Christian communities all over Europe. It is mostly this consolidated form that supported suppression.
It is striking how different the attitude to this is in Australia.

All products and services in Australia need to be fit for purpose. There's no strict definition for this but it basically means if you are selling a "premium" product, your warranty lasts for however long is reasonable in the eyes of the courts and not what the manufacturer says. It is very pro-consumer.

It would be reasonable to assume that a $40k-$100k car would last 10+ years. Obviously this doesn't cover consumables but bad memory cards would definitely be covered.

It might stop them though. Can't say categorically that it doesn't.

If I am feeling down about not joining YC 15 years back, and someone says 'why don't you feel bad about not buying bitcoin 5 years back, or GOOG 20 years back, or AAPL 40 years back, or X Y years back', I'll soon realize a pattern that I can feel sad about ANYTHING if I put my mind to it

And since it's our natural state to feel happy, and not feel sad, above knowledge might stop me from acting 'human' (depressed) over inevitable/infinite things.
The „watchful eye“ part sounds disturbing. I‘ve been to Singapore and it‘s a very impressive place.

But it‘s also very sterile imo. Sure there is awesome street food and culture in general to a degree. But i kept missing the borderline stuff there. I like to live in a place where people are allowed to make mistakes, even criminal ones in some cases, and not have their live be over Immediately. That sounds weird to some i suppose.
I built my own lamp for that and it cost me roughly the same. It's best to use metal-halide lamps as their spectrum is very close to the Sun's. It's important to get one with a uv filter though.

If I were you I'd leave, now.

If you want to be upfront with the founders, go and clearly explain why you're leaving. There is a good chance that they will try to get you to stay by promising all sorts of changes, extra compensation, stock options, trying to guilt you to stay by saying the company goes down without you, etc.

Don't listen to them.

1. Changing something now is too late (and usually too little)

2. Extra comp sounds very nice but think about what you're trading for it: Your time and mental health. For me this doesn't sound a good deal.

3. Stock options: Same as above, but worse because that's something extremely vague which depends on many things going well and also (usually) ties you there for a few years.

4. Using guilt to make you stay: Let's make a couple of things clear: How the company stays afloat is not your problem. You are not the one who decided to open a company to do X while you had no idea, you are not the one who hired the toxic TL, you have no responsibility on the company's welfare. Most people are very, very interchangeable in a company. There are also a few special people who are not easy to replace. In either case, guess whose problem it is :)

You asked in the beginning as to whether your career is salvageable, and then you went on to describe all the steps you took to manage to get a prototype of X. I think that at the very minimum you learned a lot of stuff throughout this process. You also have the experience of how it is to work in a toxic environment. These things make you grow, both technically and as a person.

There are many companies that want to hire people in our tech bubble. For now take some time to yourself and don't worry too much.

>Does it take a twisted mind to apply that pattern

Not necessarily. They say the best liar is one who doesn't know that he's lying. Take the state of news today, we have bloggers who parrot a source with no verification and often zero comprehension of what they are reposting.

RMS's issue a few weeks ago exemplified this effect with probably no single twisted mastermind. An under age girl was forced to ask a billionaire pedo for sex who turned her down was shortened to. Billionaire pedo forced an underage girl for sex. The shortened sensationalized version motivated by advert money then spread like wildfire.

I'd hazard to guess that "information" implies "not uniformly random", and "uniformly random" implies "no information". That the black hole ripples random implies that the input is in part "converted" to uniformly random and thus by the implications above that information is lost.
