>Add a VR system to each pod and you won't even notice the lack of space

I think they probably would notice, on account of not being able to sit up, stand up, move their legs enough to simulate walking, move their arms more than a few inches...you get the idea.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy VR and think it's fun, but I don't understand how people get optimistic about its potential for palliating overcrowded conditions. VR doesn't literally let you inhabit a virtual space :)
I am still amazed by how genius of an idea this is to DDOS at large scale
OpenStreetmaps is a good database with which to build navigation apps, but IMO it's very bad for actually getting directions and finding locations. It's kind of like saying you can use Wikipedia for subway navigation.

On OpenStreetMaps.org, zooming over my area (NYC) and searching for "pizza" brings up the first 3 results in Tuscany Italy.
I believe I just fixed it! Let me know if there are still issues.
Consider converting the PDF to HTML, and then annotate the HTML, http://web.hypothes.is

Three years ago I faced this problem while creating a prototype to annotate research papers, and used a client side library by http://annotateit.org which posted annotations to my own server.

The conversion from HTML to PDF was handled by http://pdftron.com DocPub.

I agree. A returning visitor is someone who visited your site before and now they're back again. The "return" in returning visitor is the fact that they left and came back.

What they're talking about is usually described as tracking unique sessions. So, I would see the use of the referrer as a low-complexity, less reliable, but more privacy-friendly way of tracking unique sessions.

Dutchess County is Greater Appalachia, but I don't know that I'd say the industrial northern part is.

Colorado as a Far West state makes little sense- where the people live is mostly Left Coast, with El Norte in the Southern part of the state.
The salary should have made up for the difference in cost of living.
That's the implication but as with most cyber attacks it's impossible to really prove the source.
> But these folks still have no answer for how free websites they consume daily (e.g. news) are to be funded, they don't pay, and don't want to see ads either. Yet they still expect these websites to exist.

This folk has an answer: display ads the ol' fashioned way, with a pair of <a> and <img> tags.
I think that "co-living" spaces like this were common for factory worker-types around the industrial revolution, where you were with strangers rather than roommates, but my only source is that I vaguely remember hearing it on some podcast so take it with a grain of salt.
"The median is not the message" is a quote brought up by Siddhartha M regarding life expectancy and cancer. It's very unfortunate for a bright young person to have this unluckiest of messages, however the median does not tell of the range of expectancies, nor of the potential richness of life in every moment.

I'm glad you're taking it well, I hope you both find peace and equanimity with the situation.
Here is the benchmark code: https://github.com/justinamiller/LiteStringBuilder/tree/mast...
I could live with a small pod-like space to sleep in. But everything about this is just ... insufficient or terribly designed. It would take nearly nothing to add privacy for everybody - do people not masturbate in the perfect idyllic world that these people inhabit? Have they never heard of people waking up at different times? Do none of these people have partners? If I wanted a quasi-military living experience, I'd go join the military. Slightly worse furnishing, but all the cardio I could want. It also wouldn't cost me $1200 for just a bunkbed.
I frankly archive videos (as music) solely for this purpose.
Wasn't a joke.

I went to the US on business - our corporate insurance means there's a $1000 excess that we pay up front.

Went to a hospital for a minor issue. At no point was there any price list shown, at the end I was asked for $390 before been given my prescription. That was the end of it I thought, sickeningly high charge for 2 minutes with a doctor, a 10p tablet, and hours of waiting around. I asked for an itemised bill, but they couldn't give me one.

A few weeks later I get another bill through the post for another $390 (slightly different amount), complete with the entire bill. The whole bill was about $2k. The 10p tablet? $250. In fact they originally gave me a 50mg one for $9, then took it off the bill, then gave me 2x25mg ones for $250. I then had a $1100 "uninsured discount" which brought the total price down to just before $800.

The bulk of the bill was a single line that was fairly incomprehensible but seemed to cover pointless taking my blood pressure 3 times and the 2 minute consultation with a Doctor who barely spoke to me, and renting the chair for a few hours I guess.

The RPS isn't that great compared to some IoT botnets and this also gives the attacker rather limited control over the requests. It's a cool idea but I'm not really convinced that it's actually worth the trouble.

China has better tools, like XORDDoS.
That would likely be illegal, for example in NYC an apartment must offer 80 feet of space for every tenant (so those 10 people would need to have a 800 sq ft apartment).

Sure, easy to skirt around if you're just an individual landlord, much less so if you're a company openly advertising it.
Ah ok, understood; whew. Thanks for the clarification!
I mean displaying from the point of view of you walking or driving. It simply shows a birds-eye view (unless I'm somehow glossing over a toggle somewhere?).

Why is living with other human beings considered a "step down"? Most people in this so called "modern" age are horribly lonely.

So, what happens if the endpoints start returning data that triggers the GF?
Heh, I had some 'fun' with that too...

Uh.. ok? (Leaving aside that this reads like phishing, I go to the website.)

`input_mode="numeric"` prevents me pasting the <big string of digits>, so I get rid of that, paste it, feel briefly sorry for customers that won't know to do that, and then it errors anyway.

Talking specifically about strict evaluation:

Monads rose to prominence in Haskell in order to deal with some specific technical challenges that stemmed from the project's decision not to make any compromises about lazy evaluation. Using monads for specifically that purpose in a language with strict evaluation would be a case of cargo culting Haskell.

That is certainly not the only use for monads. Haskell uses them as a general-purpose solution for things that other languages typically handle with an absolute zoo of special-purpose features. In that respect, you could argue that monads are, at least in the abstract, better than all those features, because they're one thing that can do the work of many.

However, if you're working in a language that already has some mix of strict evaluation, mutable variables, async/await keywords, exceptions, elvis operators, null punning, etc., introducing monads to solve those problems runs the real risk of running afoul of the xkcd.com/927 problem. Especially if those existing language have a tendency to not understand and respect the fact that they're now being used in code that's supposed to be observing the monad laws. Even implementing `Maybe` in a language with nulls can be surprisingly tricky to get right.

Which is where I stop having much interest in holy wars about this stuff. If you're lucky enough to be working in Haskell or a language inspired by it, that's awesome, you've got a whole menagerie of category theoretic abstractions to work with, and a language that's actually designed to help you use them with confidence. If you're not, then I'd argue that their use needs to be justified in much more specific, pragmatic terms, including an eyes-wide-open perspective on what the ergonomics and technical challenges are going to be like. Because, believe me, it's no fun having to work with a Try monad that can both return and throw errors.
I think the primary argument line is something along:

1. Online ads today are so bad they must be blocked

2. But blocking ads blocks revenue for sites we like

3. So we should pay for them more directly

4. But I'm not about to set up 100 different monthly subscriptions. These corporations are not trustworthy and I cannot monitor this many bills.

5. We need a solution to simplify money -> content -> creator transfer

6. There's been many attempts at that, but there's too many players who want the power and control that comes with wedging themselves in between consumers and creators.

7. So we're stuck.
I have toyed with the idea of making it illegal for companies to replace people with robots and not give those people some other job to do. On the other hand, I have pretty strong feelings about regulation tending to favor large industries even when it is intended to restrict them, because they can afford expensive lawyers who find loopholes and other ways for them to exploit the law.
When YouTube (actively or not) incentivizes that style of thumbnails you cant really blame the creators. I've heard something like 20% more viewers based solely on having a more "creative" thumbnail.
I'm fairly fluent in for example regex and awk, but I'm not blind to what it looks like to someone coming into it with no experience. That doesn't mean they are bad programmers. There are a lot of languages, and some are closer to each other than others.

Maybe you started out with an easier way into Lisp, or had a knack for it, or just spent time in it at a point when you had more motivation or time to get into it. There's more to learn in the world than people could do in a thousand lifetimes, so I wouldn't fault anyone for turning around in the door if it's something they have no interest in at the get-go.
No. "Behind the Great Firewall" is another way of saying "served from China". Perhaps -- or even most likely -- it is the government. But this is hardly a smoking gun. There are plenty of people on the mainland that hate what's going on in HK, and who are not the government.

> The problem with deriving the quadratic equation that way is that for most people, that is a lot of symbols to keep track of, and you have to not only do an unintuitive "completing the square" step but you have to unintuitively do it fully generically.

"Unintuitive" depends entirely on your introduction to the topic. If you're already completing the square, using it to solve quadractic equations you cannot factor is not unintuitive.

As far as doing it fully generically, well, how else do you get a generic formula? When teaching this, we would do some completing the square to solve quadractics, and then tell our students:

"You know, this is annoying to have to complete the square EVERY TIME. What if we just decided to solve it the really hard way once, with A, B, and C in the equation instead of the numbers, and see what we get?"
Hostels are fairly common in major cities in North America. In the US, they usually run for about $50 a night. This place is similar in cost, really, but meant for longer-term residence. US hostels often restrict how long you can stay with them (a few weeks or a month.) I suppose that's to comply with housing laws.
The old (Baudhayana, Omar Khayyam) geometric approach to completing the square (and so solving [some] quadratics) is very nice because it's visual, and it's what I show students in many classes. It explains why it's "completing the square".

Suppose you want to complete the square for x^2 + 6 x. Represent this as an x-by-x square and a 6-by-x rectangle:

x
.....
x .....
.....
*****
*****
*****
6 *****
*****
*****

Cut the 6 x rectangle into two 3-by-x rectangles:

x
.....
x .....
.....

*****
3 *****
*****

*****
3 *****
*****

Move the lower 3-by-x rectangle up next to the square. The L-shaped figure still has area x^2 + 6 x.

x 3
..... *****
x ..... *****
..... *****

*****
3 *****
*****

What do you need to add (what is the size of the small square on the lower right) to complete the (large) square? The small square is 3-by-3, so it has area 9:

x 3
..... *****
x ..... *****
..... *****

***** +---+
3 ***** | |
***** +---+

You get x^2 + 6 x + 9 = (x + 3)^2. If the original x^2 + 6 x was on one side of an equation, you add 9 to both sides.

I wish LibreOffice had a calendar with an API, accessible from Calc. The only thing keeping my Google account open is a sheets/calender script that does some financial forecasting based on my calendar entries.
yeah that's what I'm using

I also pull-requested a user agent anonymisation setting (pleroma.http.user_agent) to make this better
Ah fair, and I knew someone might bring that up :).

I meant more that I don't think that type of situation was common throughout history, more-so just for that time period for a certain group of people.

My impression is more that while families and groups of families might have cohabitated for long periods of time, it was a bit more rare for complete strangers to do so.
Interesting divisions, and certainly something that can be argued about forever.

My feeling is that Michigan probably has most in common with Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Maine and the rest of New England. I'm not sure it's a Yankee kind of thing though. More of a shared culture based on the environment, lakes, hunting, and exposure/familiarity with large forests.

I wonder how, in a parallel universe, such states combined with Ontario/New Brunswick/Newfoundland would end up looking like, as a nation surrounding the Great Lakes and North Atlantic coast.

Sorry I'm rambling.
It always bothers me when I hear people say this, it's everyone's responsibility that their devices don't become part of a botnet or worse used to take part in an attack against infrastructure that we're increasingly dependent upon that either makes for an unpleasant time for people or threatens lives.
No, each context can contain multiple scripts. Each browser tab has a single top-level context called 'top', plus it will have extra contexts for any frames or iframes within the page, as well as for any browser extensions running on the page.

Only script elements in the HTML of the top-level page (i.e. in the HTML served directly from the URL you see in the location bar) get to be in the 'top' context.
Strangely, I'd say the CO frontrange is more Left Coast than West.

I think Brave is on the right track, but I am skeptical the kind of users that are aggressively anti-ad are going to like seeing ads straight in their notifications.

I doubt I can convince you. I’m just going by my experience teaching the topic. At the time students first learn solving such equations they have just been taught factoring and what it means to factor a trinomial. They know the product of the constant terms in the binomials must be c. It’s also easy to explain that the average of two numbers is the midpoint. And thus if I start with the midpoint then to get to the numbers I took the average of I add and then subtract some number from the midpoint. The geometry makes this easier to explain over using completing the square.

I’ve seen a shocking number of calculus students struggle with completing the square. The merits of the approach in the article are entirely obvious to me but like everyone else I’ve had my share of obvious beliefs turn out to be false.
Wow, that's a huge discount! Great deal! /s
> modern code editors do tend to have this feature, so apparently it is important to a non-negligible audience

Sorry, but as far as the modern browsers are concerned, we coders are a negligible market to cater for. The number of non-coder browser-users is orders magnitude higher than the number of coders.
There may be something else at play in that case, not simply "there is somebody to date for everyone".

Would actually be interesting to learn more about it.

Could be women attracted to bad boys. Or many they like the safety of the guy being behind bars. Or not being able to see someone makes it possible to dwell on the imagination. Also, helper syndrome.

Edit: this came up with Google, for example https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5582019/Women-resis...

"Psychologist and psychometrician Dr. Robert Sternberg, a former president of the University of Wyoming who currently teaches human development courses at Cornell, said: ‘Falling in love with a prisoner reduces your risk while preserving some of the excitement. For people who have issues with intimacy and commitment, it gives them an out of a having a relationship in which you can have the exciting passion without having to put in too much intimacy or passion."

"‘I think that what happens in these kinds of cases is that people, tend to build up a fantasy world. That’s what people do and who is to say to another person that you’re crazy and I’m not.’"
I remember (I want to say it was Google) who had a hand in some apartments where you at least got a bedroom.

It is a hostel but they use a fancy startup/VC vibe to sound cool.

You can make a reservation online for a single night for $40-$50. So yes it is a hostel. Same caveats as every hostel apply : reduced privacy, snoring, you can end up with indelicate people and you have to watch out for theft.

I went to a hostel that opened recently in France that looked very similar (no TV in the beds but a curtain you can close). In fact they also called the beds 'pods'. The difference is that it only cost 18€ a night.
I am sorry about your condition. But I don't think your understanding of dating and gender dynamics is accurate. Please don't give up on dating if you would like to be in a relationship. The dating apps are a minefield, but sometimes the only game in town. The best place to meet new people (not necessarily people to date) is through activities.

Loneliness is awful, and dating sucks. But I assure you, the behavior from this woman's boyfriend is a human trait that can be found across all genders. Please do not give up and consider yourself undatable.
It's 2019, what excuse does Baidu have to not support https for these scripts?

That's where I assumed the comment was going as well, but it's actually not really about brace style at all. Rather it's about "if style" which is a much more interesting discussion (at least as applied to C error checking).
A cookie is the only reliable way to determine returning visitors, which is fine if you are setting cookies anyway as part of your page but I think it is a bad choice to introduce a cookie to an otherwise non-persistent page just for tracking.

Fingerprinting is the next most reliable way but raises all sorts of data-retention issues. Maybe it is acceptable if the fingerprints are only stored for a very short period of time (say 1 hour).

For my home-brewed analytics system I eventually decided that the trade off wasn't worth it. I just count page views rather than visitors. I know it isn't industry standard, but I don't care and nobody in "the industry" is going to trust self-hosted analytics for anything anyway.
≥their system of research support and early childhood education for my son allowed me to do the innovative research on tax havens that led to the book and the findings I’d been invited to share with Parliament.

Also: This isn't a case of some starving immigrant illegally coming to a country in hopes of a better life. It's a non-minority, middle class college professor violating the terms of a work permit.

That shouldn't change anything, as the law is the law, for everyone, equally. But it seems we've gone beyond the argument of it being morally wrong to deny one a chance to climb out of poverty, and moved on to a direct attack on the sovereign right to regulate work and/or immigration.
When it is reasonably priced, people will pay for legal alternatives. If there was a Netflix for paid websites, which would provide subscriptions in a convenient way to all websites in bulk, people would pay for that. Current options are:

> Manage subscriptions of 10 plus websites manually

> Pay by your privacy

It is clear that both options suck, so people opt in to ad blockers instead. Legal options are just overpriced for the demand.
99.9% of devices are owned by someone who has absolutely zero technical ability to fulfill this responsibility. So I'd say the responsibility needs to be satisfied another way. Maybe it escalates to the ISP.
