I live in Canada, we use metric, I had to learn imperial when I started at a machine shop. The machines all worked to .0001 inches and we measured our pieces to 1/16" accuracy. Personally, despite using metric all my life and using it for almost everything else i've done. Using imperial and fractions of inches for that kind of work was more intuitive for me and a lot easier to figure out in my head. I find it a lot easier to mentally add fractions than decimals.
You can fancy-up your sleeping bag + tent with a huge motorhome/caravan by using C++. Its like you have this house on wheels, but if you just want to take a sleeping bag + tent with you on a trip - you can. Take whatever you need.
What really resonates when reading your excellent post here is that Marcus Aurelius was really on to something with this brand of stoicism. Reading Meditations is difficult because of the style and just translating from 2000 year old language rather different from English but it seems very relevant to the life of a founder, any leader, or really anyone.
At least a couple of years ago there were so many treatments on the pipeline that it was probably doable to find a phase 3 trial that would take you in.

> Well, I guess that's one way to address the problem, but you've unfortunately misunderstood how your tool works.

No, I don't think you have the context.

The peaky process will be killed for OOM by Linux; we explicitly don't want services to die, which they would if they lived in the same process. So, the services live in the parent process, and the peaky allocation happens in the child process. For context, at steady state the services consume about 2GB, whereas the peaky process may consume 30GB for 30 minutes or a couple of hours. We use resource-aware queuing / scheduling to limit the number of these processes running concurrency.

It's true that G1 will, under duress (e.g. under micro-benchmark scenarios with explicit calls to System.gc()), give up some heap to the OS, but it's not what you see in practice, without exceptional attention paid to tuning. Process exit is particularly efficient as a garbage collector though.
The NYT peddled the Russia conspiracy theory for two years, even won the Pulitzer prize for it. It was presented as a case that just needed Mueller to confirm. Turned out the entire thing was based on lies and assumptions, but mostly the want of the newspaper that it be true.
The NYT has done nothing to apologize for their actions and to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Hep C is a curable disease that doesn’t have any symptoms. It also tends to infect the most vulnerable among us - heroin addicts.

So the root cause of this issue is not the disease itself but our society and health system. These victims are not receiving the testing and treatment they need because they choose not to or (more likely) can’t afford to go to the doctor.
I'm a little bit surprised about these comments.
One of my friends is a doctor at a Hospital in Bilbao with 30 years of experience. He tells me that this is the first year he has seen livers availabe for transplant that were not transplanted because no patient needed them. His argument is that more and more hepatitis C patients are receiving the antivirals and do not need a transplant anymore.

The nazi's mostly believed in the concave hollow earth theory as proposed by Cyrus Teed/Koresh and known as the religion of Koreshanity, there is some evidence Hitler himself believed in it, sending an expedition to the island of Rugen with the goal of setting up telescopes to look over the interior of the earth to spy on British fleet movements around Scapa Flow.

> I find it hard to think how a person would support the opposite. "Whenever you can do something you should do that thing."

The person would probably phrase it like "you should always do the right thing", and then argue why some things need to be done in a way other people consider too complicated, because (1) it's possible to do it in a way that satisfies some abstract principle, and (2) following the abstract principle is the right thing.

For example "whenever it is possible to make a unit test for something, you should do it", even in situations where team members would scream that you really don't need a unit test to verify that 2+2=4. This would make sense as an antidote towards the attitude that you don't really need to test simple things, where the definition of "simple things" keeps expanding until almost everything is considered a simple thing.
Proving absence of something is an unreasonable standard. Your answer does sound like "no, there is no such evidence" to my ears, though.

When nearing your final resting place and contemplating all the rich intricacies of your life, do you want to be one of those people who didn't learn to juggle? No. That would be silly.

So take up juggling!

Aside from obvious things like becoming more coordinated and increasing your spatial awareness, it will teach you a lot about learning. It's fascinating when a challenging new pattern moves from deliberate and entirely conscious effort to straddling the conscious/unconscious divide until it gets bedded in to your nervous system and you can do it without thinking.

Juggling is almost entirely non-competitive and jugglers are overwhelmingly supportive and eager to teach and learn new tricks from each other. It doesn't seem to be possible to get into it without also wanting to teach anyone who wants to learn. There aren't many egos getting in the way, which I find rather pure and beautiful.

Contemporary juggling is hugely varied. You can go from technical and accurate numbers jugging (high number of objects) to flowing improvised moves to something that is as much dance as circus stuff.

Also siteswap[1], a notation for juggling patterns, is cool!

My wife has had a string of back problems and insurance has denied everything the first time it is sent to them. Every MRI, back injection, physical therapy coverage was denied the first time. Each one, we and the doctor had to fight to get it approved.

For example, the first back injection was denied the first time one the basis that "it was not inhibiting her daily function". The notes from the doctor submitted to insurance specifically said "the pain in her back is inhibiting normal daily function." They reject it just to see who will fight back. Furthermore, insurance is only required to look at notes from appointments and will ignore comments from doctors if they aren't tied to anything. So in order to fight an insurance claim requires another appointment with the doctor which costs more money just to get the insurance company to look at the claim again and get it approved.

It's a terrible game.

e.g. does the shell have a hood that's sized to fit over a climbing helmet? Probably "serious".

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbole

> Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. In rhetoric, it is also sometimes known as auxesis (literally 'growth'). In poetry and oratory, it emphasizes, evokes strong feelings, and creates strong impressions. As a figure of speech, it is usually not meant to be taken literally.

Since everyone knows gaseous CO2 is invisible to the naked eye, this is clearly an example of hyperbole. Presumably Greta's mother just gave people enough credit to realize that.
Most calendars in the US sold for "business" use show week numbers on each Sunday since week numbers are often used by people in payroll and finance. So it's not too hard to get a calendar that shows them and I also find it useful for things like working out 2/3 week sprints into the future.

This is obvious in how concerned they are about the phone system, but willing to completely gut the Internet (net neutrality) — because they don’t use the Internet so have no idea about it. They still use phone calls for everything, so they’re getting hit directly on their personal devices with these calls. They can’t just ignore all unknown calls like most people do.

FWIW, my experience with quite a few (usually small(ish)) tasks I implemented in Crystal is in line with the article's.

Once, a CSV-parsing and string-wrangling data batch job in python indicated it would take 27 hours to finish. I got annoyed and wrote a line-by-line translation in crystal. Writing it took about 40 minutes. It took a total of 2.5 minutes to run, that's two, almost three orders of magnitude.

As I said, this was a line-by-line translation, so whatever mistakes the python version had, the crystal version would have also had them. There are, however, a bunch of specialised python libraries (numpy et al) that weren't used, and I guess you could achieve some significant performance increases that way. Coming from ruby, I just happen to be quite productive in Crystal, to the point where I stumbled over the article's description as a "systems language".

Infact, its Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook who are controlling CPU roadmaps!

Grupa.io: Product Engineering Service Market Network
It’s becoming harder and super expensive to attract and retain world class talents; it’s even harder and time consuming to build a product team, the alternative is to go to freelance network platforms like Upwork, Toptal , gigster or work with outsourcing dev shops!
The problem with this is that such platforms are project focused not product focused ; startups are agile-iterative in nature and therefore the need to reinvent a system that is cost effective and iterative in nature!

Over the last 9months, we have been working on Grupa.io: a platform that allows startups subscribe to product iterations engineering using service teams (work based on their preferred service plans and work mode). This is product focused and affordable (you get a team for the price of 1 senior engineer! this is possible because you get to subscribe for shared, flexible or dedicated plans which are a fraction of the teams commitment).

I’ll love to discuss this in detail to know your thoughts!

Yep, huge companies like Intel use work-weeks for everything. For e.g. planning huge engineering projects was easy:

- WW17: CDR
- WW18-46: Detail Design
- WW46-48: DDR
- WW48-52: Validation/Testing
- WW01-02: Ship to customer

So you could just now know how many weeks it took exactly for each phase:

The hollow earth theories are actually a lot more embedded in human history than people realise, for example 'Shangri-La' is a phrase that most people will recognise, and is an alternative name for the Kingdom/City of Shambahala myth at the basis of this expedition. The myth also mutated into a competing form as 'Agartha' which is said to be a large internal kingdom protected by many mythical beasts that inhabit the caves of Tibet.

Verne's novel is mostly based on the Agartha version of the myth.

> "My aims, goals, and motivations in life have nothing to do with [. . .] being [. . .] mega rich. So I'm doing something else: donating the majority of my bitcoins to charitable causes.”

The very act of large scale giving is an act of power which uniquely characterizes the mega rich. Such giving invariably has an agenda attached, whether it's one that you like or dislike. That's the case for mega rich donors as seemingly disparate as the Gates Foundation or th DeVos foundation.

In the case of this fund, the agenda appears to be to push Bitcoin. Otherwise they could have just liquidated the Bitcoin to legal tender before donating thereby relieving the recipient institutions of the challenges associated with it. Having spoken people at one of these organizations, they had zero desire to hold Bitcoin, as they need cash for day to day operations.
I remember getting into QBasic as a kid. I played Gorillas, and noticed a variable called 'banana' in the source code, which seemed to correspond to the fact the gorillas threw exploding bananas at each other. So I thought replacing it with a variable named 'baby' would cause the gorillas to throw exploding babies at each other. Unfortunately, it turned out game programming is not so easy, and hence began my lifelong foray into coding.
>Why is this? Using your brain cells won't lead to muscle atrophy.

Ever hear of marathon runners hitting the wall or bonking? That is the runner's body shutting down to preserve the remaining fuel to keep the braining running. That is the function of the brain is given priority over other organs and systems in the body when the brain/body are not fat adapted and glucose stores are running low.

>and if catabolism between muscles and the brain is linked then surely steroids will make people every smart by switching the entire body into anabolism from catabolism.

Certain muscle enhancing supplements due have recorded benefits to cognitive function, for example creatine (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29704637). That said "steroid" is a broad brush stroke without a specific meaning as far as actual chemicals/hormones go. Moreover, as we know "steroids" in the general sense typically work by enlarging cells in the body, which yes may have helpful and desired effects with respect to muscle growth, but negative effects in other areas (enlarged heart) so unnatural growth does not equal unbridled benefit...rather anabolism (growth) is a normal and natural process that also includes catabolism (breakdown).

ICF (insulated concrete forms) are pretty common depending on where you live. You have to build the formwork to pour the concrete walls anyways, so building it to stay in place and act as insulation is just smart provided you can reliably get concrete everywhere you want.

I like them, although for larger structures the formwork gets re-used so generally if they're insulated its after.
Based on what you're looking for (dynamically updating calcs), I would say for most people a spreadsheet fits the bill (Excel, Google Sheets, Calc, Numbers, etc.)

The tool you linked to has an intuitive UI and is useful for simple calculations. I can
see it being useful for every day use for folks who aren't that savvy with computers or math.

Spreadsheets however are a more much general tool (and only marginally more complex) that will let you do those calculations, but scale those calculations to much more complex models with almost no added complexity.

I have seen some really mindboggling things done with spreadsheets (and have done such things myself). But I can as effortlessly whip up the calculations on the demo page in almost the same amount of time.

I would say for most people, it would be a better investment of time to learn how to use a spreadsheet.

I think of charities like Etsy shops.

Their primary business is not keeping recordings and publishing neatly organized transparency records. Because (a) it's not what the people working for them are interested in, (b) they're heavily volunteer supported, & (c) they don't / can't spend the money to hire someone to do that work.

In the same way someone on Etsy wants to make jewelry, not run a C-corp.

End result... good charities look a lot like bad charities, with limited ability for bystanders to distinguish. In fact, possibly negatively, as actively malicious charities can spend time and money optimizing for externally visible attributes.

The solution is, as you noted, to lean on someone who does have the time to externally audit various charities.

> Because death is a taboo no one really talks about this issue.

I think that is the biggest problem. Asking for money is another kind of taboo, and you are mixing both. For example, it would be wise to raise money for the funeral of a terminally ill patient, but it's creepy.

Do you have some kind of funeral insurance there? Anecdote time:

The sister of my grandma has a funeral insurance, but she didn't tell anyone clearly. She only said "Don't worry because when I die, everything will be arranged."

The family found the insurance a few month after she died, so it was not used. Anyway, she luckily lived too long, so I'm not sure if it was still valid.

There's another advantage to using a high level language like python though - since the "source" is now JSON metadata which is decoupled from the code, I can use that metadata to generate other interesting things. For example, I can use python-docx to generate a Word document, for example (which my company requires for documentation tracking). Or, if the metadata is describing HTTP APIs, I can generate an OpenAPI document which can be fed into Swagger UI[1].
