The biggest challenge is figuring out how to store the text document in memory. My first thought was to use an array, but that has horrible performance if the user inserts text anywhere other than the end of the document.

The counter-argument to that is that processors are ridiculously fast in human timescales --- copying memory at gigabytes per second --- so unless you're focusing your use-case on editing correspondingly huge files, there's no real need to make your implementation more complicated than a single array. Even when DOS machines with <640K of memory and memcpy() speeds in the low MB/s were the norm, people edited text files of similar sizes, with editors that used a single array buffer, and for that purpose they weren't noticeably slower than ones today.

My ideas for challenging projects are a little less open-ended, so they exercise different set of skills: being able to implement a specification correctly and efficiently.

- TTF renderer
- GIF or JPEG en/decoder
- Video decoder (start with H.261)

IMHO being able to consume existing content with code you wrote is very rewarding.
Probably a very high percentage of items(90% I am pulling things out my ass) are NOT price discriminated. Food, electronics, many many transportation fares (buses, subways), you get the money you pay the same regardless of your net value or income. People love to be contrarian, that's all.

This is such a colossally bad take. Tickets have the distinct purpose of disincentivizing dangerous driving. They don't do that if it's a flat fare and the person breaking the speed limit is sufficiently wealthy. Thus, if you want speeding tickets to affect everyone equally, you make them proportional.

If two companies that have been operating at a loss for N years simultaneously stop, is it price collusion?

There are lots of factors here that could drive a decision to raise prices: both went public this year = increased scrutiny, moviepass & wework fiascoes = decreased tolerance for bad business models, driverless experiments have failed.

But it also feels like there's a wink happening.

If the DOJ / courts takeaway is 'yes it's collusion and they're getting slapped with a company-killing fine', it has interesting implications for the ability of unicorns to operate at a loss for long periods.

Effectively banning negative unit economics for large companies would be a new chapter for the startup economy.
> I'd do it again, but I'd go in giving up any pretense that I was going to maintain anything like a life.

I really think it's best if you just accept that you'll be giving up most of what you used to do. You can find time for some stuff, but if you had a bunch of hobbies and were very social and did tons of side projects before something has to give—probably lots of somethings. There are only so many hours in the day and yours are largely spoken for—no large contiguous blocks of free uninterrupted time, certainly—12 hours a day, 7 days a week, now.

Trying to keep up with all of it is exhausting and frustrating. Gotta make the hard choices and actually choose. "Well, I'm not doing A, B, or C for a few years, seems like, so I'll stop trying, but I can keep doing D and E with the time and attention that frees up".

My kids are 3, 5, and 7. I feel your situation exactly. Luckily, I’m an early riser and have my creative bursts before most people are even in the office. I’ve learned to make my “me” time a priority but early enough that even on the weekends I’m still present and helping carry my share of the load around the house.

I’m usually up around 4:30 and have the dog walked by 5:30.

Summer in the Pacific Northwest means I’ve got plenty of light by 6 and I go hit the archery range or take the dog for a longer hike through the woods.

In the winter it’s pitch black til 7 so I go to the office earlier.

Go to my office between 5:30-7:30 where I’m going to focus on learning something new, side project, hobby project, etc. til 9:30.

Gym at noon (most days), home by 5:30. I don’t even try and do mentally taxing work after we get the kids to bed (around 7:30). Usually it’s helping cleanup, hanging with the wife, TV, and asleep by 9:30ish.

Because life is life, some mornings I’ve got the dog walked and am in the office by 5, sometimes I’ve got a meeting at 8, or have to take kids to school.

On weekends I do the exact same morning routine except I’ll be on the computer at home and usually no gym.

There are plenty of times where I’ve got a good flow going and my alarm buzzes at 5pm and I just have to tear myself away and get home.

Traveling is what kills me. My morning routine sets up my whole day and gets my head where it needs to be. When I’m traveling for work it’s not so bad because I hit the hotel gym and usually get even more morning time to myself. Traveling with the family (like over the holidays when I’m staying at the in-laws) leaves me jumping out of my skin without the physical and mental exercises I’m used to. I haven’t cracked that nut yet, but I’m really trying to not be such a dick about it to the wife this year.

EDIT:
I forgot to mention the most important part! I’m definitely still working on this, myself. I found that really jumping in and ACTUALLY participating with the kids is a salve for that mental itch that seems to not be getting scratched when I am obsessing over something in the back of my mind. Building LEGO, kicking ass at Guess Who, etc. can still be pretty fun if we just get over ourselves and let go. Or if I REALLY still want to take the dog in the woods, bring the kids with and it’s a whole new adventure.
> Or should the tree break my hands and give me a concussion on the way down in order to level the playing field?

This is a straw man argument. It would be a decent allegory for jail terms that favor the rich, though.
It's normal to be friendly with people you meet, that often leads to friendship - which is convenient. Certainly it's more fulfilling to work with friends than mere acquaintances IME.

Irish Pfizer Plant releases 750 tons of Viagra in River. Sheep go on a sex craze
I am wondering if years of anti union propaganda pushed to the surface the bad examples and all the good ones are just hidden. I am not in a union but what I know from my family that are in such jobs in public or private sector is that6 they get only benefits. Like if they have to work more hours you get paid double for those hours, you are forced to take your vacation days - this means that management can't put pressure on you to work on weekends because they are bad at managing, management will try to optimize to avoid extra hours. Where my brother works he is evaluated each year, there is company wide(multinational) scheme on how people are paid so you can get a raise but there are no 10X mechanical engineers that work 1 night and have the output of 10 good regular engineers.

Without this protections the company could promote the people that stay and work extra hours and from home for free or find different ways to abuse you.
It's hard but gets better. I started a business when one was 1yo. I still found time for wife and family.

I learned to produce under stress. I.e. when you are so tired you don't think you can do any work or learn anything new, you still do it and you get stronger from it. The grind, the harsh reality of grinding, stone on stone, just turning and turning. No excuses, just knuckling down and biting. I needed that, my life was way too easy before.

Tip: prioritise. If you want to work on something, do it, fully aware of the trade offs (probably relaxation time and/or sleep). Just. Do. It. No excuses, that mindset, it helps.
100% in your exact shoes. With girls that are 9, 4, and 2, it is unquestionably the 4 and 2-year old that zap the vast majority of "extra" time, energy, and attention that could otherwise be going to many other things, such as hobbies, more time to exercise, hang out outside, think, start a company as a side hustle, you name it.

In terms of actual "available" hours to do what I want, it looks a bit like this:

Work ~10 hours (assumes some amount of commuting, getting ready, etc.)
Evening/dinner/cleanup/nighttime routines (~2-3 hrs)
Sleep ~7-8 hours

That leaves around 3-4 hours per day. Weekends are actually similar since that is a team effort of running the household and parenting along with my wife (And she needs a break too!). 3-4 hours sounds like a lot but the problem is that do you want to immediately go from activity to activity with no pause, no recharge time, no time to just "do nothing" and take a break from being around other people, tending to others' needs, work, etc. People need "recharge" time which might include resting, thinking, reading, or otherwise laying down and relaxing, with a spouse or not, or with a movie/show or not.
TL;DR having kids is cool.

I think it sounds like a great idea, admittedly though it is difficult for me to get my head around a system that isn't unfairly gracious to the wealthy and vicious to the poor.
"IIRC, it's 10 or 20 cents at the one I go to now, which is too small to change anyone's behavior."

Curiously, I think the 10 cent tax on grocery bags has been enough to change people's behavior. I know I started to carry my own canvas grocery bag ever since I was told there was a 10 cent tax for each bag. My other motivation was simply trying to reduce waste, which I was made more conscious of by being told of the bag tax.

I think the difference might be in the bag tax being mentioned by the checkout clerk. Whenever you go to buy groceries and you want a bag, almost invariably you're asked if a 10 cent charge for the bag is ok, whereas in the case of buying coffee the price of the disposable coffee cup is not mentioned. So it's a lot easier to ignore.

If every time you got coffee you were asked if paying 10 cents for your coffee cup was ok, I think more people would choose to bring their own.

> That would just be "four words plus five random characters".

Aye.. if you were going to pick the simplest (most bruteforceable) pattern first, you wouldn't want five random characters now, would you? I thought that's the whole point of this exercise :-) Of course I could decide to repeat that bit pattern four times and that adds no entropy if the pattern is assumed to be fixed, but then we get back to having the attacker try guess the right pattern.

Very often in these discussion people don't consider the pattern space at all as part of entropy and they only look at the entropy within the alphabet/words/variations after the pattern is fixed. I'm not sure that's right.

Search 'source' :

There's your problem right there. It's not that 'creators' are stumped. It's that, given how much it would be worth pitching the same closed source to an investment group or solution seeker directly, no 'creator' with a sufficiently advanced 'new' or capable system would ever submit their source code to one of these competitions. This goes for all competitions that require participants to submit their source code. It's what you you seek or your backers after-all which is valued far more than the potential prize you're doling out. Thus, your business model. The question is always, will someone who can develop such an advanced system be dumb enough to part ways with their IP for such low value? I think not.

So, you can pretty much throw any conclusions made from any such competitions in the trash. This goes for even bigger ones by bigger names. You're going to get what you'd intelligently expect : a small sampling of the same ol' same ol' approach. Don't expect any novel submissions. Don't expect any surprises. So, what's the point of this? I'm speaking about the whole site 'aicrowd' btw and any other group that organizes a 'submit your code' competition ...
The other way to frame it is that people need convincing to forgo what feels good in the short term to pursue what works best in the long term.

As to whose culture and whose religion: it’s not clear to me the specifics matter so much as the existence of strong, broadly-shared social norms. My Bangladeshi immigrant family doesn’t share a culture or religion with Pat Buchanan, but there was frankly not a lot of daylight between their views on how people should live in society.

And you’re right in one respect: a society that emphasizes social norms will leave some people out. The social norms can be evolved, of course. Bangladesh, for example, is making progress in evolving the social norms surrounding participation of women in the economy. (In terms of labor force participation rate, Bangladesh today is where the USA was in 1950. On the other hand, we’ve had not one but two women as heads of state.) But a society that emphasizes individual self determination will be more inclusive and more responsive to social change. But these are trade offs in the structure of a society and people can reasonably disagree about what serves the best interests of the vast majority of the people.

Why?

The factory pattern is about adding logic and state to the creation of objects. What's wrong with creating enemies using their usual constructors and dumping them into a resizable array?
that's not an innovation that captures any unique value for Uber and more of a positive externality if anything, because strangers still want to be paid and if anything customers aren't willing to pay them more than a regular taxi company.

On an economic level, if anything Uber suffers from inefficiencies because every driver being their own insurer, repairman and so on is a disdavantage compared to employment by a traditional taxi business. Which is of course why taxi drivers organise in firms to begin with. In a way, the entire sharing business model is a sort of weird backwards move that wilfully ignores the division of labour.
same reason you'd have a plug in hybrid.
This is an ideal situation, I have a few kids too, but I still need put priorities over them, as otherwise I can't help them in their needs. Everything Paul said is right, except you have to be quite successful so you can enjoy as much as he does, at least that is true for me.

It's all based on BeakerX which has autotranslation b/w languages as one of its key features.

I believe it currently it is based on Py4J which does require copying of the data but I think not expensive serialization, so its reasonably efficient, at least, enough so that it works for plotting.

However the discussion is around moving everything to Apache Arrow which in theory supports in-memory shared data b/w languages. Whether that will ever happen is a question though ... the issue has been open for 1.5 years without visible signs of activity.

I stopped bothering with autotranslation in the end because I found BeakerX native plots (which work natively from all the languages it supports) actually nicer and more intuitive than Matplotlib. I use it extensively with Groovy.
From what I've heard, this industry works reliably in Eastern Europe and Asia.

Uber, or any company of this sort is not magical lifestyle company, its merely an app for a driver and a rider. This is easily replicated.

Uber became a poster child only because the barrier to enter is so high in so many western economies. There is a ton of smaller competition elsewhere.
So, I've been working much of the time (30-50%) through the Quest, using ImmersedVR to have 3 screens from my Mac in VR. The headset is super comfortable, even for long periods of time; the only downside comfort-wise is that if I'm breathing out of my nose, it'll end up blowing upwards into my eyes, drying them out (but I'm going to be making a little buffer piece to fix that).

The fidelity is at the low end of what's usable for productivity without causing discomfort, but it's just going to get better from here. To me, $400 for the Quest is a total no-brainer; the Magic Leap .... not so much. I'd rather stick entirely to VR, but I have a kid to watch much of the time, so AR it is!
hmmmm looks like some Oracle boffs are trying very hard to save their licencing SNAFU

So you consider your life so far has been only pain, nothing of worth or fulfillment because you've not had a nest of millions-of-dollars to lie in?

You'd rather not have lived? Do you resent your parents having you?

[Questions, not rhetorical statements, genuine curiosity.]

It's certainly an issue for many when considering parenthood - is it fair to raise a child in this situation - but I've not seen it expressed so extremely as you have.
yes, but at least travelling by plane serves some purpose, compared to let say, having a camera checking whether i'm sleeping or not.
There are a lot of fulfilled people with jobs. Having someone leave the work force can cause more stress and harm to them, even if economically it is “fine”, so I don’t think a lifetime of working a job your children like is that bad.

Quality of life is also improving generation after generation, so someone working an average job will “have” a lot more now than 50 years ago.

Anyway, your post raises a lot of good points. Thank you for sharing.
> Why would an 11 year old have an Instagram account anyway?

Because we've saturated our society with messages telling them this is how to be popular and successful.
I hope so. But handover all hashes?
Whenever I feel overwhelmed by the amount of time needed by my kids, I remind myself that soon enough they'll be teenagers and won't want to have anything to do with me. We're now halfway to that point with our oldest and I can say that with that much hindsight this advice has been spot on so far.

So yes they need lots of time now, but when they don't you'll miss it too.
R, unfortunately, is also one of the most ill-designed yet popular programming languages in existence. I would strongly recommend people to steer away from it. If you cherish your sanity stay away from using R!

Moreover after seeing what my colleagues publish as scientific R programs, I came to believe that science itself is bottlenecked by the large scale adoption by R and the sloppy, inconsitent and bug-infested programming practice that it encourages.

R does a few things well - cross-platform, plotting works on all platforms, packaging works well. But for actually programming it is atrocious.
>It's a weird thing to somehow think that an AI with only 4 days of training data should somehow outperform even a human child, which has a decade or more of imitation learning experience.

Well...not so much if you consider that machines are orders of magnitude faster than humans in any other task, including processing and recording data, a.k.a. learning.
Here is mine if you want to add it !
I like the argument from intuition at the very end:

> Imagine that there were a million doors. After you have chosen your door, Monty opens all but one of the remaining doors, showing you that they are “losers.” It's obvious that your first choice is wildly unlikely to have been right. And isn't it obvious that of the other 999,999 doors that you didn't choose, the one door he avoided opening is wildly likely to be the one with the prize?

Kind of fascinating that private companies are operating stings

I don't have a clear opinion on the validity of a sting as an argument, but I suspect every large platform with a crime or fraud problem is doing some kind of counterintelligence work.
> with only 4 days of training data

so 4 days to train their AI and not 4 days of training data.. on the data which was "60 million frames of recorded human player data"
That's most likely what will happen, simply so that the companies can say that they complied with the law.
Oh fantastic, that's great to hear.

The Cloud Discovery feature is actually only for networks that don't support multicast DNS. If Remotely is working for you as-is then it shouldn't be necessary. But adding iCloud/Windows equivalent support is a great idea. I can take a stab at implementing that.

Are you running this on mac? I've noticed that certain applications (such as Chrome) can cause bad wifi lag. Hopefully it's still usable for you however.

Please let me know if you run into any other issues!
