It was a little surreal to read your post. The "putting on a show to entertain myself" is essentially word for word how I would describe it.

I generally have a hard time explaining it to others without starting to feel it's a ridiculous, convoluted or even egotistical (especially the whole "we're all god in a way"). In a way, whereas I used to be terrified of death, I now accept that immortality would be the more dreadful alternative. I remember treading on these ideas before having tried any type of drug. I've only ever gotten actually high on weed since then, but those experiences were generally not all that pleasant, e.g. had me becoming anxious/paranoid or generally overly introspective. That's also the reason that I've only ever microdosed LSD before as I fear getting actually high and falling into a more extreme version of that weed-induced paranoia/anxiety.

Out of curiosity, do you still hold onto that experience of oneness or do you just leave it as a "drug-induced" hallucination?
Some great points there, for sure. Pianos are often mentioned when the subject of tuning-as-art-form comes up.
Oh that's terrible, I also thought the randomization is constantly on. Is this the case for Android and the desktop operating systems too? Windows, OS X, Ubuntu etc.?
Good news: that's very likely the case for the system described in the article.

That's a pretty dismissive view of your users. This has actually bitten me in practice, so consider their foresight vindicated.

(Notably, it was actually the inability to easily distinguish between a missing and empty array, which caused us to resort to using "has_foo" fields, only later to hit the issue with the C++ compiler.)

If you dismiss this as a valid concern, how can I be confident that there are not other similar issues you simply dismissed as unimportant?

Say what you will about STL, but the level of attention to detail there assures me that I'm not likely to get bitten by some weird issue the developers chose to turn a blind eye to.

> you can say that "has_foo" should be renamed to "has_foo_" (or whatever) in C++ generated code.

This is fine, even if it's a transformation predetermined by the language.
What do you mean?

It's because they don't want to give anyone an option to opt out of data collection - easier to lock out all EU than actually stop/reduce/give choice for data collection.
The real "brute force" approach is to send millions to space and make colonies all over the moon, asteroid belt, mars, outer planet's moons, everywhere - and see who will survive and if they leave any descendants.

It's a really weird comparison to me. Perhaps US profs are way more uptight in general? I'm not really sure how to respond to that, to be honest.

You can devise a spacecraft that provides some gravity for occupants, either via rotation or acceleration. Rotational gravity is probably way easier to solve for than adaptation to micro gravity.
Speaking from the Devil's Advocate side, as I work in Higher Education analytics:

First: this data is, by the vast majority of institutions, used very respectfully in terms of privacy rights and it is ABSOLUTELY never sold. Third part vendors that provide hosted systems are REQUIRED to affirm that they pass nothing on to any other party whatsoever. (I should note that this is the case in public and traditional private non-profit schools. For-profit schools are much less scrupulous and should not be regarded as trustworthy in this respect)

Beyond this, students are apprised of these uses of data with the ability to opt out. This is done as upfront as we can, very "in your face", though the tendency to click "agree" to something without reading, even very short and to the point, is of course always an issue.

Finally, the data collected is extremely useful. I cannot emphasize that enough. It is extremely useful in helping students be more successful. And it's not used in terms of surveillance. It's used pretty much exclusive in understanding the patterns the coincide with success and those that coincide with failure, dropout, academic struggling, and so on. In short, it is used to proactively intervene with students at risk rather than wait for it to be too late, e.g., final grades are in and no tutoring intervention is possible. A recent use had me using Xgboost to examine patterns of LMS usage to determine students at risk of early drop out. It worked, and we can now identify about one third of early drop outs with practically no effort and almost no false positives and work with those students to address there problems before they go too far.

I'm sure privacy maximalists will not be satisfied with the above, but really, within the realm of data comprehensive I idividual data collection, I'm not aware of any business, much less an entire industry, that treats such data as responsibly as this, and that really is concerned with using it only to further the best interests of it's constituents. Obviously I'm biased. That probably means things are not as rosy as I envision. But I think it is nonetheless an important and valid synopsis of the issue.

I'd mostly agree with that, with the caveat that they will often restrict particular listings or brands that got a high volume of complaints, and require proof of purchase to sell. They also flag sellers that have large sales increases in a short period of time.

>It's my view that Amazon themselves should be taking action on behalf of both consumers and sellers to ensure that: 1) products are authentic, and b) consumers can get the best prices possible even if that's from an "unauthorized reseller"

This is reasonable. They could require proof of purchase for all products, or perhaps for all products where more than 10 units are being sold.

I also think there should be a higher bar for foreign sellers, or perhaps a bond that must be posted.

Religious practice was certainly illegal, unless it was official Orthodox, Muslim, Jewish etc. There was no way to organize a non-canonical congregation, unless it was a clandestine operation for a dozen people.

There was an article in the RSFSR Felony codex ("breaking the laws of separation of the church from the state, and of the school from the church", #142) the sole purpose of which was to outlaw religious congregations.

Many baptists (mostly Ukrainian) were imprisoned indefinitely - well into eighties - for refusing to obtain passports.

Finally the idea of "legality" of something for which you get persecuted and mocked by state and party officials (as part of their line of duty), and get auto-fired from a significant part of the economy in a state with no (legal) private economy seems a little twisted.
The idea was to match animation speed of the gif and JavaScript implementation (which was 24 frames per second)

requestAnimationFrame() (RAF) is more likely to fire approximately 60 times per second than setTimeout(..., 1000 / 60) would. But I needed 1000 / 24, and setTimeout worked very well, so I used it.

If I were doing it all over again, I'd probably use RAF with window.performance, or simple counting variable as a timer. RAF is indeed much smoother than setTimeout and on top of it, RAF saves battery life when a user doesn't have your page open.

Good question!

You're fighting the language. Unless you're writing prototypes where crashing doesn't matter, you should be writing error handling code first, and your business logic second -- so-called "sad path first" programming, c.f. "happy-path first" programming that you usually do in languages with exceptions like Python.

An Open Letter to One Internet Shamer
Isn’t John D Cook arguing for iterative methods there? It does not read as a defense of “using the normal equations” or direct methods. In fact, the reference to sparsity makes you think John May be referring to SGD or a similar iterative method.

Obviously, any solution you get solves the normal equation so it’s unclear what the parent comment meant by using the normal equation is superior to SGD.

I can’t comment on the “first dose” part. But I personally find small doses of LSD far more speedy than larger doses. With larger doses it’s much easier to just lean back and enjoy the experience.
Thanks. I’m still waiting for any conclusive evidence at all that long-term intermittent fasting in healthy, active humans with good diet has significant positive effects. So far everything seems like snake oil.
My rewrites always end up much smaller than my original rushed implementations. I think it comes down to a few reasons

* I get better at writing code.
* Better understanding of the problem, the feedback from the first iteration usually tells me what the code actually had to do, not what my boss thought it needed to do.
* A working but messy and bloated first iteration shows me that I can solve the problem at all, the rewrite let's me do it with some grace.

The hard part is minimizing the time spent on the first messy implementation so more work can go into the good final iteration.
Most laws don’t allow over 19-20mph on bicycles before its classified as a moped. That doesn’t mean you can’t provide the extra speed (I see up to 28mph on mine when I go hard), it’s just that the speed is limited but range increases (I’ve traveled over 30mi on a single charge so far)

I'm super into the error handling philosophies of Go and Rust, but I don't think either of them is "sad path first". That implies that you can think about your error cases in a meaningful way before you have concrete business logic, which seems unlikely.

That's not antigravity, it's just Coriolis Force.
Thank you. I'm happy to know things turned out well for someone who shared a similar experience. I have emailed you.
Yes, if you want to use setTimeout you should just use it directly. It's bad practice to override built in functions like requestAnimationFrame to do something different.

If the intent is to throttle the frame rate, then you should still use requestAnimationFrame, but simply return immediately if it's not time for a new frame yet. This can get you more consistent frame spacing than using setTimeout. But the difference is probably small.

Throttling the frame rate is a legitimate artistic choice that can evoke the feeling of watching a film projection; however it seems like the intent here may have been to slow down the speed of the dots, not necessarily to use a slower frame rate for its artistic effect. The animation speed is tied to the frame rate because the animation is advanced a fixed amount each frame. This is bad practice as well; instead the animation should be advanced based on the timestamp passed to requestAnimationFrame. Then the speed of the dots would be constant no matter the frame rate, and users of high frame rate displays would enjoy smoother motion.

All that said, it's a pretty animation that serves its purpose perfectly and none of these concerns are important in this context.

RFC 1313 – Today's Programming for KRFC AM 1313 Internet Talk Radio
most people I see do this do it on multiple screens not multiple windows on one screen (or multiple tablet sized windows on one large screen, and most do it without making any screen as extremely narrow as the parent did.

However I suppose also that most is not all, and there must be some outliers who do it on a single laptop screen either from necessity or preference. I might find myself doing extremely narrow windows out of necessity but never preference, and then the extremely narrow windows would almost always be on something I was working on - as it is indeed in your case - and not to interact with someone else's site.

And teachers.

While there are some conformist "I am always right, don't stir the shit" authoritarian teachers, there are many who rely in part on students to question and hone the teacher's own expertise, especially people who teach in rapidly changing fields. This is healthy, I think, and many of my best teachers (in and out of structured school) have been like this.

For those unaware, Croydon is basically a massive chokepoint, with trains coming in from London Bridge and London Victoria to the North and large part of the South coast to the South.

If trains start piling up near either Victoria (and Clapham Junction) or London Bridge, it quickly causes trains to back up all the way to East Croydon, a 15 minute train journey away.

Once it does, it blocks trains towards the other line, as East Croydon only has 6 platforms and no tracks bypassing it.

Once that happens, trains can start backing up tens of miles further South, and will be out of place when things are up and running again.

Victoria is a terminus, and is at times busy enough that trains gets 'stacked' two to a platform on the platforms serving Croydon, so turning trains back quickly becomes a fun exercise... (London Bridge also has lots of platforms that terminates, but seems to have fewer platform capacity issues after the overhaul)

So even if the trains that are in position get moving again pretty quickly, untangling that and getting platform space for all of those trains in short order can compound short delays very substantially.
But it's not about critical infrastructure, it's about control over information coming in and going out.
> People with different opinions have a hard time getting along.

Not necessarily. As long as they are civil and able to articulate their differences in a good way chances are the viewpoints will be shifted and possibly converge.

It's a problem when people become so invested in their viewpoints and opinions that they become a part of their identity. That's one way to become a person who is going to react in a not-so-nice way to seeing those viewpoints and opinions challenged.

Once people understand polynomial regression and why high-order polynomial regression often does not work, they can be introduced to splines, one of the most commonly used nonparametric regression methods, which are just piecewise polynomials.
It's not very meaningful. The article is saying you can't trust journalists in general because one of them had a take he disliked about a person he admired. The existence of a more gentle take about someone else on tells you about the editorial view of one writer or one editor at one outlet. It doesn't establish some sort of standard to which all other obituaries must adhere.
As a general rule then I would move between tabs or windows if I were reading documentation or help on a subject.

I'm thinking this will be one of the ways that Amazon can be "disrupted." If Walmart (for example) re-tooled their online platform such that they kept counterfeits out and rapidly identified bad actors, the trust in their platform could grow against the name recognition of Amazon. At that point Amazon would be stuck playing catch up and that makes it hard to innovate. Also, its possible a completely new brand could be born, sort of the 'Angies List' of online retail.
>But modern art, like Jackson Pollock, that's a steaming hot pile of shit that means nothing. There is no skill in it. There is no knowledge. No study. No insight. There is no thought or emotion. There is just the cold hard glint of gold in the eye of the so-called artist and those who sell his garbage on as art to people who only understand the value of money, and have no other value in life than money.

This hot take is relatively common right now but it's not particularly true. Modern art explores a whole host of ideas that classical art cannot and does not. The strong masculine lines and flat surfaces overlay an exploration in novel geometries you just can't get in endless refinement of an existing form. The classics are forever stuff making a hierarchy of forms that are the same thing from top to bottom. A human hand is part of a human torso which is a part of a human body. A modern art piece can have forms that are alien, materials that are foreign, ideas that are new, in a form that thrusts out into the world as it's own being.

JP was broke most of his life and had a drinking problem, he created the perception of space through the application of paint layers, rather than perspective or all the traditional tools. That wasn't done before.

Modern art is needed now more than ever because that's the one place we can bring an world of disparate ideas into an order that shapes the country, the future and humankind. Classical art relies heavily upon a reception of the infinite quantity of existing forms, like endlessly spirally plant leaves and filigree. Those things already existed, the classics just received and refined it. A classical perspectives' best chance at creating something new, is not to set out to create something new, but instead to be the one that got it working first, as they always have done. The derided modernist is frequently the true innovator.

Having said all that there's a lot of shit modern art that was built for the artist's flight of fancy that wasn't apart of a greater meaning or order that can be tossed, requires to be removed!
A Man Who Lost Tetris
Even though we're behind Europe in religiosity and far behind the US, Orthodox Christianity was alive and well here after the fall of the SU, and Christmas and Easter are variously observed. It's rather notable that despite the Bolsheviks' no-nonsense and literal approach to eradicating religion, Christianity and the church have survived the Soviet era pretty well. One reason for this is said to be that in the ramp-up to the Great Patriotic War, the government dropped the anti-religious rhetoric and adopted instead the position of ‘unite and defend your motherland and the people’.

Add to this the fact that in the 70s and likely later, people were still migrating from rural villages to the cities, with the whole baggage of inherited religiosity and mishmash of folk beliefs. My grandmother put in plenty of time in prayer each day. Icons or whole arrangements of them are a feature in many homes, cars and sometimes, more rarely, offices. And I still receive messages from my parents each year, commemorating birth and then the resurrection of Christ. Folk culture doesn't tend to follow an official doctrine, as exemplified by troves of Soviet jokes—and is also not big on ideological clarity, so many didn't see a problem in subscribing to both socialism and Christianity, along with crystal healing, magical powers of thought and a bouquet of other fringe beliefs.

In the 90s, my home city already had a bunch of churches including at least one large temple, and one or two monasteries—and I don't think they popped up recently.

Notably also, even Bolsheviks preserved old and unassuming Karelian wooden churches, recognizing them as architectural and cultural monuments—while demolishing some huge temples in Moscow.
