> Vault lights were used to light some of New York City's first subway stations and were placed in the ground of the opulent passenger concourse in the city's original Pennsylvania Station.

I will never get my head around the fact that the old Pennsylvania Station was destroyed. It must be one of the biggest mistakes in urban development of the 20th century.

Conservation of energy determines the minimum number of a calories one must ingest to stay alive, work, etc. There is no maximum, since the body can often burn off excess as heat or simply excrete some things. There is also no law that says that we all have the same metabolic behavior.
I think an Apple Watch with cellular accomplishes a lot of what light phone does. Leave your phone behind and just keep all the social apps off the watch (they’re not really usable anyway).

You can still accomplish a lot of what you need from a phone, and pair some AirPods and you have music, podcasts, easy hands free calling
> Probably worse than a soda after doing that.

Nope! You'd be amazed at how much sugar is in soda.
I get this is supposed to be minimalist but the texting interaction looks really rough. You read threaded conversations in portrait mode but to reply it switches you to landscape mode where you can’t see the conversation and can only see the reply you’re typing. Nokia candy bar phones from the mid 90s let me type a reply while looking at what I was replying to.

This seems like an oversight
Variance in metabolism at the extremes is less than the energy in a Snickers bar. It matters, but worrying about your metabolism without first sorting your overall intake is a classic case of premature optimization.
Adderall is the real stuff. I'd operate on that all the time if it weren't for tolerance and addiction potential. The effect is stronger, there are XR pills readily available, and most importantly I don't have the histamine reactions.

The -afinils I have to space out or combine with an anti-histamine and dose very carefully. When I didn't, I got very itchy skin like an allergy (and I've never had those before, though there is family history).

Never tried Ritalin or Mydayis, though some of my friends swear by it.

What's your experience been like?
Well, the color being due to exposition of the prisms to UV radiation, it will take a lot longer to reach the purple tint in London than in California.
Or use telemedicine.
> I live in Phoenix; in my neighborhood it's basically the same way. City comes around, tears up the sidewalk to fix something (water main or such) - and you the homeowner are responsible for fixing the sidewalk. Yay.

What in the holy hell? That's insane and ridiculous. Is this for both residential and commercial? (I could understand the latter slightly more.)

Sounds like a great way to piss off your citizens by cutting a very small corner in what is probably already an expensive endeavor.
This is exactly what I'm talking about, though. Bearer bonds have been illegal to issue in the US for the last forty years precisely because their principle advantage over registered bonds is that they make it easier to break the law. I'm not saying I can't see the utility of Bitcoin or blockchains in general for criminals. That much is plain. Speculators as well. The question is whether there is any utility for anyone else.
I think it would be an interesting experiment to have people with more expertise in each platform/tech write the code and then measure the developer time and performance.

This is because, based on what the author mentioned about cell reuse, they barely have any expertise in iOS. It would be hard to trust the code. Perhaps the author has provided access to the code?
I agree with this assessment.

Project Manager, Product Manger / Product Owner, and Program Manager are all different roles. They are related and often confused. I would definitely not trade Sr Dev for PjM.

A more interesting question is why you're considering this change. Do you want to work more with technical leadership? Tech Lead / Architect is the correct role. Do you want more exposure to the business side (sales, costs, profits, etc)? Then you want a Product role. Do you love people and enjoy helping them grow? Engineering Manager is a good spot. Scared of age discrimination? Become an expert on some really difficult technology that's key to your company's business.

I'm not sure how things work in your particular country / company, but here in the US I've never seen a Project Manager --> Engineering Manager transition, since EngMgr is typically expected to be highly technical and still occasionally checking in code.

Additional: The statement that you're "too technical" to be a manager communicates two things to me: (1) They don't believe you have the appropriate interpersonal and leadership skills to execute well in this role. (2) You are valuable in your current chair and they don't want to be bothered with replacing you. Regardless of where you work, I'd recommend working on both of these problems. A great way to do this is to start training other more junior people to take over your job and responsibilities. This demonstrates that you can mentor others, invest in people, and also provides a back-fill when you vacate your position.
We used Sumologic for a long time and still do. You can query your logs in an SQL-way (you can do joins for instance) and last I checked they have a free tier.
Holidays as a Creator
I can confirm that this is true in C++ (or at least the common implementations), as required by IEEE. In particular, this means that sorting a container including NaNs is undefined behavior (since typical sorting algorithms rely on the property that for any x and y, exactly one of x < y, y < x, or x = y is true).
Well, yeah, if you can afford it buy solar panels and wind turbines and
batteries. That's terrific! (No sarcasm, I'm sincere.) In the medium- and long-term we should transition to all-electric
vehicles with renewable and atomic power.

But there's a huge existing fleet of internal-combustion engines
in vehicles, generators, and tools like chainsaws and leaf blowers, etc.
A locally-produced ecologically benign carbon-neutral fuel source is an important part of the solution, eh?

As for efficiency, consider: Scenario A: grow a crop of corn and feed it
to pigs. Scenario B: grow a crop of corn ferment it and extract the
alcohol and feed the leftovers to pigs.

In B you get two crops for the price of one. (Alcohol is produced by
yeast from sugar. The leftovers are protein, the bodies of the yeast.
The corn is a better feed after fermentation and alcohol extraction.)

As for land use in a permaculture farm you would be growing more than one crop
on the same land at the same time. You might have two or three crops
that produce food and some yams or sugar beets for fermentation.

Also, a lot of things you might not realize can be feedstocks. Pretty
much anything with sugar or starch. Farmer Dave had a deal with a donut
bakery to get their scrap dough for fermentation and fuel production.
I used to love opening things from Fry’s and discovering that it was an unmarked return & not the actual product at all. Sometimes: empty box.
There were some background articles explaining they had to. The first version was too minimalist, not even the phone makers ended up using them. The set of the absolutely necessary services for a phone is bigger than one would think and it differs more - does it include maps? taxi services? texting? Answer will vary a lot, and by making it too minimalist they would end up satisfying no one.

It's interesting to see exactly that happening in the comments here - "if it only had X, Y and Z I would buy it".
E-ink screen, but the battery life is bad. I can go about a week with mine.
Looks like the log log size's an upside down W for Windows.
Hard to say. These are all internationalized firms with a variety of global operations centers. I know GSK does a lot of their research in North Carolina. But that is beside the key argument, which is that the US pays more (in aggregated cost and volume) to these firms, such that the total revenue for a product line during the patent lifetime justifies the cost to both bring the drug to market and pay for a variety of failures that didn't make it to market. I'm not sure if this is true, but it does seem plausible. And even if it is true, it still might be better to, say, fund more university based research instead, or have lower per-unit costs and pay innovation bounties or any number of other schemes.
> Nutrition is confusing because we’re not used to looking at lots of tiny effects adding up to something large.

This. I think is always more complicated than we think.

And one thing that many times is left out of the discussion is that some foods may have different effects on one individual than others. I was once looking for videos that talk about this and after watching too many, the only one found was :

“What is the best diet for humans? | Eran Segal | TEDxRuppin”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z03xkwFbw4

When explaining their studies, at one point he said “It was not just about the food, it was also about the person eating it”
I used logdna in a previous company. This is a really nice hosted, cheap logging service (like papertrail)
> When I didn't, I got very itchy skin like an allergy

Any kind of skin reaction to -afinils would scare me off using them entirely, due to the link with Steven-Johnsons syndrome (warning: do not google, or use a text-only browser to do so)
The trouble with this article is that the author doesn't seem to know what Bitcoin is for.

Notice the vague treatment of actual cryptocurrency applications. There are lots of predictions about startup activity, "flippenings" and venture capital, but little about the goods and services customers will actually be buying, or what specifically startups will be building.

It's this kind of thinking that leads people into the dark thicket that is "tokens": digital instruments bought and sold largely for speculative purposes. It's understandable. The ability to print money is a fantasy of many people from a young age.

The last two years have seem a solid refutation of this notion. Almost every token has lost value against Bitcoin. It seems reasonable to conclude that the carnage will continue.

So the money printing press ship has sailed. It's going to come as a shock for many people (some with economics degrees), but bootstrapping censorship-resistant money is a one-time deal. Any attempt to profit from the undertaking harms the credibility of the founders. Only the genuine scammers are left to continue the exercise.

Here's a vision for the future of Bitcoin. Bitcoin will extend its role as a refuge from the growing foreign and domestic militarization of money. It will become an indispensable weapon against civil asset forfeiture, international sanctions, deplatforming, and mass surveillance.

That's your application for Bitcoin in the '20s. And it's a doozy. It places Bitcoin on the side of personal freedom and on a collision course with some of the world's biggest governments, including the US. There will be many attempts to "ban" Bitcoin.

Startups will play a marginal role at best because their ultimate aim of monopolization flies in the face of what Bitcoin was designed to do.
Lenovo announced the X1 Carbon 2020 as well today, and it looks the same as the X1 Carbon 2019 and the X1 Carbon 2018. Max 16 GB RAM.

But hey, it has WiFi 6 now.
I want to love microcenter, it is the type of store that should be my favorite place to be.

Unfortunately, I haven't had a single good experience. Many issues were smaller things, but the single most upsetting was the time I found what I wanted (after being ignore by sales reps for awhile) only to be swarmed by reps trying to put their stickers on the box to get a commission while I walked to check out.

And then people wonder why my first instinct to buy anything is to go online and have it shipped to me.
You'll spot the issue in your word choice.

They want their employees to be drug free

I do not belong to my employer. Maybe you're comfortable ransoming your bodily fluids in order to labor for others, but I refuse to do humiliating things that model one-way power dynamics for a right to work.

And until you show me how getting stoned offers a competitive performance advantage to truck rental clerks, athletes are utterly irrelevant. More on-point comparisons include prisoners and children.
Yeah, it creates a jump table, so basically an O(1) operation in assembly rather than O(n) comparison worst case for every case.

However, this means switch _only_ works with integers, which is rather limited and confuses newcomers. For instance this does not compile:

void f(std::string const &str) {
switch(str) {
case "option_1":
std::cout << "First option\n";
break;
case "option_2":
std::cout << "Second option\n";
break;
default:
std::cout << "None of the above\n";
}
}
My answer is "Why doesn't everyone use One Medical and have a doctor?"

To laser-focus on the peninsula/south-bay in the bay area; going to PAMF or Stanford Medical typically results in a 2-3 day wait to see a Dr.

If you're sick, you want to see a Dr asap. I have a doctor at PAMF, a doctor at Stanford Medical, and One Medical. If I am sick, I simply book an appointment at One Medical usually 30-min ahead of time, see them, get whatever treatment I need and go back home and be sick.

When something is truly wrong I start at One Medical for temporary help, and immediately book either at PAMF or Stanford depending on who is available sooner.
Depending on your definition of "enough support", Rust might be what you want.

> not a steep learning curve

well, it's steeper than most languages, but less so than C++ IMO, especially if you're already familiar with C++ and therefore understand the problems Rust is intended to solve.

The 950mAh battery is extremely small.
Probably other ways to do this. RFID/GPS/something that tracks people going through a doorway...or get a better camera...I am really not sure why this needs ML though, this is not a new problem and you are taking a nuke to it when a good ol hammer works just fine (I know this isn't what you asked, I don't care...this kind of illogic cuts companies to death little by little).
No, it doesn't change the value. It's just more decimals. A hard fork would be needed to make the change in the protocol.

Similarly a bank can use whatever amount of decimals they wish to store their dollar amounts, it doesn't create new money. You can also divide gold into infinitesimal amounts.

You can already send millisatoshis on the Lightning network, which is rounded to a nearest satoshi when it's settled on the blockchain.
Maybe that’s intentional, so you focus on short messages rather than sprawling conversations.
There's a line there somewhere. But, I'm not sure which side bird nest building falls. Many birds aren't just making a dirt hole, they're taking whatever material is at hand and "crafting" a well-shaped structure. String, twigs, leaves, hair, etc.
As for most proposed cryptocurrency use cases, it's unclear why your example couldn't just be a number in a database maintained by the game's producers.

BTW, people already do make real-world money grinding for WoW gold.
Says who? They also compile to native code just like C++.

If having a GC makes a language not native, then C++ isn't a native language as well.

ISO C++11 introduced the GC API, C++/CLI and C++/CX dialects use a GC, Unreal C++ has a GC, regular C++ with Boehm GC is another option, C++ Builder has also a GC.

ISO C++ is basically driven by Microsoft, Google, Apple, IBM, given the amount of employees that go to ISO meetings and submit papers.

While it isn't a single corporation, it isn't a community driven process either.

Who can put money on ISO get the features.
I have had success with class action lawsuits.
None of your solutions make sense. Which is obvious to anyone who has played a game with cheaters.

> Allow users to votekick and voteban.

People love to say others are cheating when they are losing. Not going to work.

Allowing users to provide their own solutions? That’s funny you say that. Tournaments and leagues on CS pretty much made you install software that would periodically take screenshot of your computer to prove you were not cheating.
Everyone wants to live in the US buddy. Get in line, work hard. You'll be able to move eventually. There's no shortcuts.

> huge failure

Is there any objective way to assess success or failure of such an experiment? Drinking dropped around 50% when Prohibition started and never recovered its previous place. The incidence of the evil consequences of drink remains much lower today than in 1919. How much longer must these consequences remain reduced until Prohibition is objectively evaluated as successful?
If you look ahead and keep going, you can just not stop.
I can tell you that there were a huge number of cheaters back in the days as well.

The bigger problem now are f2p games were cheaters don’t have to re purchase a game after getting banned.
What would you rather do? Get an offer from a non-FAANG company whilst earning slightly less than FAANG but still 6-figures + stock or risk more months with the leetcode lottery and dare to score big with a FAANG offer with slightly more compensation?

The real question is can you afford to risk more time into leetcoding again for a FAANG offer despite disliking your current role? If the answer is yes, reject the offer otherwise accept it.

One more thing. If it were me, I'd get a referral from a current FAANG employee first and leetcode everything else before applying. Then my CV would be at the top of the interviewing pile.

The choice is yours.
I think your hot war in the ME just came true.

C++ is not the only statically-typed language.

Can you elaborate on why Python's lack of type checking specifically (as opposed to any of the other ease-of-use features of Python) made it easier for you to write this program? Were there cases where you were using something that a statically typed language would have considered the "wrong" type for a function argument (or anything else), but it worked fine in Python?
I'd say the Nokia still wins out over this, that's without even looking at the price. How many Nokia's could you get for $350.

Then there is this aspect: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=thelightphone.com

Which does kinda make you wonder many things, more so, that price. Everything else seems to of been already covered in past discussions over the many many years.
We used to use an ELK cluster but it was always breaking - I'm sure this stuff can be reliable but we just wanted an easy way to search ~300GB of logs (10GB/day)

Somehow I came across scalyr and it's just phenomenally fast - and cost less than our ELK cluster. Definitely worth trying if it provides the features you need.
Say what? Where did you see that? Autos overall are down, Tesla is selling record numbers, how did they lose market share?
Basically correct, except that it isn't the price of Bitcoin or Ethereum that matters, per se, but rather the value of the reward for each block relative to the amount of time required to mine it. For Bitcoin, ignoring transaction fees, the rate is 12.5 bitcoins per 10 minutes; for Ethereum it's 3 ETH per 15 seconds. If the price of 1 BTC is 70x the price of 1 ETH then you would break even expending about 7.3x over a given interval to mine 12.5 BTC vs. 1x to mine 120 ETH. If you spent 70x, however, you'd soon be bankrupt despite the higher BTC price, because you don't earn 70x the value.

It's still very low even given the battery size. The updated Nokia 3310 has a traditional display with a 1200 mAh battery and is rated for a standby battery life of 31 days.

At 950 mAh that would be just over 24 days. I would expect an improvement in battery life with E-ink.

>This will result in a conflict of interest.

This is accurate. I really don’t see this sort of legislation taking off. Too many special interests would be against any sort of encroachment on the car infrastructure we have. AARP would definitely fight this, and so would the oil lobby. That by itself makes it an unlikely proposition in my view.
Anyone in a social group that all take nootropics, but each one of you benefit more from different compounds? I’m curious how 1 herb/molecule is really effective on one persons mood/focus but has almost 0 effect on the next guy

Isn't the ideal world one with replicators like Star Trek NG that can make anything, including a cup of snobby tea and the china cup to hold it?

Well, son, we could have that but that would have hurt mom&pop stores, and put people out of work, and people have to have jobs don't they? A human isn't living a good life unless they are working to keep food on the table.
