No, it doesn't. It would require all-male teams to be substantially more common than teams with 1 or more women. It's not clear to me that this is the case (it's very much not my experience: 1/6 teams I've worked on have been women-free).
2x better than a technology that benefits from the enormous, monstrous economies of scale that lithium ion batteries do is a folly. Every portable electronic device benefits from lithium ion improvements. That's how Tesla was able to launch: use the commodity 18650s from laptops as a relatively low cost cell.

There's a fundamentally better argument to shifting everyone to hybrids (extreme bang for buck for CO2 emission reduction) than FCEVs.
I have no sympathy. As far as I'm concerned, all automated email is spam. If it didn't come from a person you care about, it isn't worth your time.
The analogy might be clearer if instead of GitHub we used Fossil.
Well, there is a such a thing as a non-monetary cost. I'm not sure if you are just describing the viewpoint of those who ignore such things, or whether you haven't thought of that.
Care to share any language that does things better without a steep learning curve? R is popular for very, very good reasons. You can pick it up and be productive with it in no time, even with the "gotchas"...
I recently vacationed in Japan, and I found that using Google Translate on the phone wasn't practical because the other person would have no clue what was going on or how they are supposed to work with the app. The language auto-detect was abysmal; half the time it thought Japanese was English. They would start responding to the translated statement before the app played the chime, and I'd have to rudely interrupt them and fumble with the app to get it to start listening again. They were never sure when it was "okay" to start talking again.

In the end I tended to communicate everything I really needed by holding up the number of things I wanted on my fingers and pointing and smiling, caveman-style. They would usually know just enough English to say, "Two? Ok." Then the price of whatever I was buying would show up on the register surrounded by mystery Japanese characters, but the numbers were Western Arabic, so that was all I needed to know.

One thing I learned is that you can get by with very little knowledge of the local language to successfully travel and eat.
“Simple Analytics wants to fix this issue by not requiring consent.”

Well that doesn’t sound incredibly sinister or anything.
When it comes to big-money issues like housing, self-interest takes precedence over professed ideology. Ostensibly liberal California not only has rampant NIMBYism, but is also in contention for the most regressive property tax policies on Earth via Proposition 13.
And what do you use to make Hydrogen?

Do fuel cell cars have instant torque like EVs? We recently got an EV, and whenever I drive my gas car, the delay from the gas pedal is extremely annoying now.
Much like optical illusions, there are proprioceptive illusions. The simplest yet most amazing to me is the rubber hand illusion, where you can trick your brain into feeling proprioception of an inanimate object. I highly encourage you to find a friend and try it out:

What is "Paradise" and why does it matter? This post provides no context.
Isn't this pretty much accounted for by doctors at this point?

Isn't it well know that there's a good chance that an elderly patient will die during or soon after significant surgery? For instance, there's a good chance that soon former President Jimmy Carter will once again have a fall that will result in him being hospitalized, and shortly after surgery, he'll pass.
For something a little more practical, I recently came across this postgres id generator[1], which Ive been playing around with as a solution for ordered, scalable bigint ids (that take up less space than standard uuids).

Ten Commandments of Startup Success with Reid Hoffman
It would require more than imperfect information, but imperfect information _about_ the imperfect information. Ie, if people knew the insurance company had perfect information, they wouldn't buy the policy. At that point, the insurance company could just directly sell the information and still create surplus by reducing uncertainty.

This meta-imperfect information wouldn't last very long: People are generally skeptical of things like insurance as a baseline anyway, since they're unintuitive ("why am I paying for nothing every month?"). In this hypothetical world of perfect insurers, people would just sum up the anecdota of X insurance literally never paying out (and everyone rejected having X happen), and it wouldn't take very long for conventional wisdom to switch to "insurance is never worth buying".
There is some overlap, but they complement each other. This one (Database Internals) has much more of a technical deep dive on storage engines, especially B-tree implementation details.

If I was mentoring someone learning this stuff, I'd advise reading Designing Data Intensive Applications first, which is certainly the best for giving the big picture, and follow up with this one for more detail on certain topics.

Given the previous dearth of books on this important subject, I think it's wonderful that we have two.
> here is a language there are two ways to even assign a value to a name.

three ways if you count a <<- 1 for writing in global variables from inside functions (of course, not a recommended practice...)

I don't see what you point is though. So there are several ways to do the same thing in a language, so it's bad? Bad in what way?

As for the lapply, sapply, tapply, mapply, it's very well documented as to when and where you should use them. Sapply applies only on a single vector, and for generalization on larger data structures you use the other "applys". Nothing very hard to comprehend, and this is well explained in the official docs.
I had the opposite experience. Everyone I tried to communicate with via google translate responded positively except one disgruntled train station attendant.

I would say excuse me, I don't speak Japanese can you please help me. And then I'd show them my phone with the translated version of whatever my query is and then press the mic button and they'd get the point that they can speak now. Worked great.
You can always adopt or foster children if you really regret it later. There are plenty of children that exist that need good homes without having to create more.
But the cycle continues as the kids then need to find their purpose, which is what I was getting at.
I'm a big Carlsen fan, he's currently the best chess player in the world, but not all grandmasters think Carlsen or the other top 10 are the best in history.

I can't make an informed opinion myself, but I can retell the arguments I've heard used.

In the past, players like Bobby Fischer dominated their peers, winning tournaments by 5 games or more. Today, super grandmasters play 20 moves of prep from memory and agree to a draw. When they get out of prep they don't play as skillfully as players of the past, pre chess engine era. Today super grandmasters put all their attention into opening theory. (I'm retelling the arguments I've heard, these aren't my own opinions)

I will say I much prefer to watch a super grandmaster blitz or rapid game over a classical game. Not that I watch them live, but I see the occasional video of a grandmaster analysing them in a 10-30 minute video.
Writing a Simple Garbage Collector in C
The portion of ML code in a real-world ML system is a lot smaller than the infrastructure needed for its support. In this blog post, I would like to share the 7 questions that you and your colleagues should ask to handle deep learning technical debt.
People are just waking up to dangers of sugar, but too much salt is also not good, increasing blood pressure (see below link).

Potassium can offset much of the affects but it’s surprisingly difficult to get even the US recommended amount every day.

I’ve started using potassium salt instead of sodium salt in my cooking, and it feels great to kill two birds with one stone. Now I just need soy sauce and others without sodium to make my kitchen (nearly) salt free.

How does the efficiency work out, considering you're using electricity to make hydrogen. Does the hydrogen you create put out more energy than the electricity you used to make it?
No it can't because you cannot deprive a person that doesn't exist of anything. That's an absurdist position. Also the free-time aspect of it for me doesn't even factor because, as I said, the argument isn't whether being a parent or not is better for me but for the person that is going to have to live the live that is imposed upon them.
Totally. Some of these guys just throw out crazy stuff if they’re booked up. I’ve done a lot of procurement at work and I’ve seen it all.

My dad got a siding company that quoted $120k to do the job in the middle of winter for $30k.
How do we prove that they didn't just look at mortality in all diseases and for all restaurants, and cherry-picked stroke-vs-ramen because it has the best significance?

I am not accusing them of anything - I have no horse in this race. What I am curious about is: how do you prove that you haven't p-hacked, if you are going to do a study like this?

Sure, you can pre-register your methods, but presumably you can get the data and do some data crunching on it way before you have to pre-register. How do you prove that your results are legit in the age of reproduction crisis?
The article is wrong in attributing "open source" to Eric Raymond alone. As it's now used, it was apparently coined by Christine Patterson and mutually agreed to at a meeting where Eric Raymond was present in February 5, 1998. [1]

According to the release history, "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" was written in 1997, but originally used the term "free software". The term was changed to "open source" on February 9th. [2]

> chemical change? No.

Not everybody gets the feels/chemical thing indeed, or not the first time. Some people are just less on the emotional / pathos side and more on the rational / logos, the 'rational' kind of feelings or rather 'impressions', 'convictions', sometimes just this 'clarity' — less feels, more words. Same result, just different brains to get there.

Assuming that this database has been building up over the past decade, I'm in awe over how much money they must have spent on Laptop's in the early part of this decade.

An article by a private security company says the world is unsafe.
> There's never a break. It's all-encompassing.

I've felt like this too, I've learned you have to make some time for yourself & your partner. Try to get grandparents to look after the children, or friends to take them away. Definitely hire babysitters and maybe even a nanny. When you see them again you'll be re-energized.
If the best argument you have to do a thing which will make you miserable is that someone else somewhere else is worse off, that's no argument at all.
A more helpful pitch would indeed to compare RSuite vs RStudio in terms of features and what it does best vs the alternatives. I agree that the explanation about the project is pretty bad and it does make the "here are the kind of problems you have and how we solve it" very tangible.
First off I agree with you about the parent’s comment.

Second of all the cost of living thing makes no sense. People throughout all of time were poorer and had more kids, and people tend to have less kids during this time period when they have more advantages.

The notion that one “needs” a certain amount of wealth to have kids is actually an expression of values: some minimum material baseline that is arbitrary from an historical or global perspective, therefore has a culturally defined source that is in some sense subjective.
all the cars you listed have 5 seats. M235i has four. Also every car you listed has way more cargo room. So saying the m235i is less practical than the norm is, I think, accurate.
When I was 12 or so we had a neighbor who had a pet raven or crow, not sure which. But this bird did the owners cigarette cough and gravel gert voice perfectly for 10 or so words.

Someone later gave the guy a mynah bird that had a 30 or so word vocabulary. The birds eventually taught each other the words and the cough.

It was pretty funny to walk past that house on a nice day and hear 3 cigarette coughs and hearing the mynah say happy halloween in a sort-of witch voice no matter the time of the year.
Note to readers: This is not civil forfeiture.

> There are two avenues available to the government for seizing items that were used to commit a crime, or cash that was made unlawfully. If a person is convicted of a crime, the government can use a legal tool called criminal forfeiture that allows it to confiscate property that was involved. Civil forfeiture, on the other hand, does not require a criminal charge—only a suspicion that a piece of property was involved in a crime, or that it was obtained illegally.

> But neither of those legal processes were used against Clavasquin, his coplaintiffs, and the estimated “hundreds if not thousands” of others just in New York City that they represent in the lawsuit. Instead, they got caught in legal limbo: When their property was classified as evidence after their arrest, slow-moving bureaucracy and red tape turned what should be a routine transaction—getting back personal property after the state no longer has any use for it—into a near-impossibility.

> [...] Even if a person is arrested but isn’t charged with a crime, his or her possessions can be seized. (In certain cases, police can even seize property without arresting its owner.) But the lack of criminal charges don’t make recovery any easier. In fact, in Washington and New York, it lands individuals in another gray area that can be even more difficult to navigate than the maze of red tape that follows the end of criminal proceedings.

Apparently, in addition to the much controversial civil forfeiture (which largely allows the police to confiscate things arbitrarily in a Stop-and-Seize scheme without charges or warrants [0]), the police can also keep your things confiscated without a charge by classifying it as "evidence"...

[0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8280889
I never got that from that statement at all. Just acknowledgement that they're acting according to expectation. It makes no inference that the expectation is there because you can't change it, merely that you haven't.
And they should need to fix that, so that if the police confiscate your thing without your consent, then the police shall be arrested for theft. (The other police will need to arrest them. And if they refuse, then you have to take it back by yourself.)
Maybe Paradise, California, which was severely affected by the wildfires last year?
Here's how you solve this problem. I do this on my own projects and with Chart.js which we resurrected from the brink of a "2.0 is coming... please wait" cliff.

1. Add a project scope to the README -- this gives you and volunteers grounds to close issues that are not relevant.
2. Send a personal email to your 3 top contributors -- ask if you can give them push access (even if they aren't recent contributors) at a minimum as an insurance policy.
3. Automate or at least specify your release process. You should be able to do this reliably, while drunk and high, and when you have 17 other projects needing your attention. Example: https://github.com/fulldecent/FDWaveformView/blob/master/CON...

I have been involved in a few "takeovers" to implement the above and keep great projects running. A little structure and human goes a long way. You don't need to fork and be the new dictator to keep something great moving.
Why would you make a throw away account just to repeatedly insult people for not having kids? That's extremely sad.
> There's a larger group of not-so-harmless people than the givers who are driven by greed for free stuff and a sense of entitlement. We can call these the takers. Takers are generally abusive if their entitlement is challenged; because to criticise the open source model is to take away their intellectual candy and the result is a tantrum. Amongst this larger group are a smaller group of DRM crackers and pirates. In nearly all open source projects, they outnumber the givers.

What an absurd dichotomy. Even if you work full time on open source, you probably can't be a major contributor to more than a handful of large projects, at most; many people specialize in just one. But you probably use dozens to hundreds of open source programs. So for any project with a modicum of popularity, of course the number of people who use the software without contributing dwarfs the number of contributors. That would be true even if everyone worked full time on open source.

Admittedly, the OP's definition of "takers" is not just "people who use without contributing", but tacks on some ad hominem insults to supposedly qualify it. The result has very little resemblance to reality. Sure, there will always be some people who become truly abusive if a project makes a change they don't like. But they're definitely a minority. Most people, facing such a situation, don't speak up at all; they might be annoyed, but they keep it to themselves. Others do speak up, but know how to be polite about it. Perhaps the OP assumes that people should not voice negative opinions at all, if they're not contributing to a given project. I disagree. A good default assumption is that open source maintainers are open to polite and well-reasoned negative feedback. A maintainer can always forbid such feedback in official project forums if they so choose; if they do, users should respect it, but it's is not a very gracious move.

And what the heck do DRM cracking and piracy have to do with anything? In my experience, those people – whom I respect – form communities which are oriented around piracy, and pretty separate from the open source world. In part this is because the nature of the work they do is different; reverse engineering is different from software development, and many pirates do neither of those, but just use existing tools to distribute pirated copies of whatever type of media they're fans of (e.g. anime). I'd say they're also more likely (compared to programmers as a whole) to use cracked proprietary software instead of open source. Of course, this is a massive overgeneralization, but the point is that bringing them up makes no sense.
"quite good" there was a post here recently about how they fail the majority of the time and are totally useless at night.
If you wanted to build your own database (to learn how), is Database Internals the better book, or DDIA?
I remember as a freshman in college using Dropbox as version control for a 4-person group project. Even then it was a hurdle. Even with everyone sitting in the same room literally saying "okay I'm working on X nobody touch that file for a couple minutes". Jesus.
Fantastic point! Yes, I believe that is exactly what is happening with Darwinian racism: one group exploiting and dominating others is hidden with a scientificish veneer. Very much a Plato's 'nobel lie' thing going on, similar to the mythology justifying the Vedic caste system. Darwinian racism is just a modern caste myth to justify exploitation.

It reminds me of a kid when I was younger who would steal from us and then consider himself smart for taking advantage of other people foolish enough to trust him. Arguably the same has happened with the Caucasian race in recent history: they took advantage of a bunch of less technically advanced people groups, and then justified it with the Darwinian racial myth, since after all they were smart enough to justify their exploitation with such a sophisticated myth, thus proving the myth correct.

I liken it to the law of gravity: everyone falls down cliffs whether they believe in gravity or not.

Similarly with the Christian ethic: it'll work regardless of whether everyone believes the underlying rationale. In fact, that is what happened in the West, its social construct is based on the Christian ethic, and continues to function despite most of the West no longer believing the underlying reason.

Within the standard evolutionary worldview, where humans are just part of a continuum of life stretching back to lifeless chemicals in a primal ooze, there is no logical basis for inherent human rights. Any such rights can only at best be a pragmatic social construct to be discarded on a whim.

At any rate, it sounds like you are unaware of the history of your culture.

You don't at the level of this study. It's useful to suggest this is something that might be explored in a better, more clinical, setting.

The news might pick up and run with this, which is unfortunate, but so long as you don't view this as anything more than a suggestion of a relationship, you should be fine.
> How do you prove that your results are legit in the age of reproduction crisis?

You... try to reproduce them. The "reproduction crisis" isn't a failure of the scientific method, it's just pointing out that we've picked all the low hanging fruit (i.e. highly significant results) in science while increasing the amount of science done by huge amounts. So there's a lot of junk. Possibly (hopefully! I love ramen) including this paper.

But nothing has changed with how you prove your results are legit: do a similar study in a different location trying to find the same effect.
These are not great metrics. There are no great metrics.

The official JSON implementation is a good example. It is a mature project. It's used everywhere. If you leave an issue or submit a PR that fixes a typo, the maintainer will flat out delete your comment and tell you to buy his book to educate yourself.

Maybe this behavior is good or maybe it's bad. But maintainers are human and metrics are not going to cleanly pick up how well a project is maintained.
It also serves to preserve the current refueling experience from fuel delivery to point of sale.

Electric cars are mostly charged at home and at work/parking areas which flips everything on its head.

Launch where you can get the most number of customers, that also have the most money, and will hand you that money the fastest. This will yield less time to get to more money, the cheapest.
I guess the only reliable way is to have an independent group reproduce it using different data and publish their result.

Whenever theres something interesting shown in natural sciences you quickly hear about replication efforts being able or unable to replicate the results. In most other sciences there doesn't seem to be much glory in replication
