Youre right you have dodged a bullet in not having to raise another mans child or being in a loveless marriage. However, societally speaking, there is an alternative.. Good enough marriages where men raise their own children.
For engineering advanced degrees, and I believe for the sciences as well, usually the professor you are working with will have grant money to pay for grad students which will go towards your tuition and stipend.

If you aren’t working with a professor doing research, you may have the option of being a TA, which would cover your tuition and stipend.

I never went to grad school, so others may be able to provide more detail.
This assumption is wrong that everyone needs to charge before going to work. Once people started hitting queues at charging stations they will start charging at home over night. Though personally I think work place charging stations should be promoted where electric cars get charged at work using solar energy instead of at night at home using fossil fuel based electricity.

The title is bad; the article doesn't deliver on the promise of making Python programs "blazingly" fast.

The first example given (the exponential function) is basically the worst scenario, because it's a purely numerical computation expressed in pure Python code. Whereas Python's performance is okay-ish for I/O or calling C modules.

From doing Project Euler solutions, I have ample evidence that for pure numerics (e.g. int, float, array), Java is anywhere from 10× to 30× faster than pure Python code executed in CPython. https://www.nayuki.io/page/project-euler-solutions#benchmark...

I believe it is basically impossible for Python to win back all that performance loss without adopting radical and jarring features like static typing, machine-sized integers, and no more "every number is a full-fledged object".

Aside from Stripe not doing what customers are asking for, there are very good reasons why fake cards in production is a really bad idea:

* the fake cards can leak, and your customers can start using them on your site. I'm not sure how you want to handle this. If this is production your code shouldn't have to be checking for card number patterns, and since you don't get the full card number anyway, I'm not even sure how you would.

* Part of your bookkeeping is that all production transactions are reported as income, both to your CPA and to the IRS / tax authority of your country. You're going to have a major headache trying to explain what's going on to the auditors. These fake transactions will forever be part of your audit trail.

* It'll screw up your reporting - your analytics, revenue, churn rate etc will be artificial, and you'll have a hard time getting people to trust them the moment it's even possible to fake those numbers with test cards.

We have a ticketing system, and yes we do use our own cards to buy low value stuff on production. We then trigger the normal return / complaint flows to get actual refunds back (Stripe doesn't charge you anything for refunds), so it's really no skin off anyone's back, and it does properly test both your purchase and refund flows fully.

There have been plenty of societies with strong marital bonds where women were not property. Even in England women were not property. That is a tired line that undersells reality. One could equally say men were property since under the law of coverture in england a wife could enter into debts on behalf of their husbands poteentially forcing them into servitude to pay that debt while men could not do the same to their wives.

Except, most weather apps including the Weather Channel App sell your location data to hedge funds.

> The Weather Channel app, owned by an IBM subsidiary, told users that sharing their locations would let them get personalized local weather reports. IBM said the subsidiary, the Weather Company, discussed other uses in its privacy policy and in a separate “privacy settings” section of the app. Information on advertising was included there, but a part of the app called “location settings” made no mention of it.

> The app did not explicitly disclose that the company had also analyzed the data for hedge funds — a pilot program that was promoted on the company’s website. An IBM spokesman said the pilot had ended. (IBM updated the app’s privacy policy on Dec. 5, after queries from The Times, to say that it might share aggregated location data for commercial purposes such as analyzing foot traffic.)
> Article III grants the Supreme Court judicial power

And, contrary to your description, that power is expressly not a power limiting it only to “determine constitutionality, and interpret existing legislation” whereas trial judges have “huge amounts of discretion in making their judgements” that the Supreme Court lacks (in fact, as the Supreme Court has, but rarely exercises, appellate power over fact decisions as well as law, its domain is broader, in jury trials, than that of the trial judge, who is the original trier of law but not fact.)

What are these evolved tools of rationality that you're referring to?
It’s actually a lot of child development literature by w.d winicot and r.d laing, and the developmental psychology cult, also my own experience as a meditator, some nietzsche, existential theory (sartre, nausea). I surprisingly didnt read Haidth but ill check him out.

Carl Jung’s theory of the collective unconscious influenced me alot too, and i find alot of sense / approval in Peterson's lectures.

I generally think the fact that we can generalize our behavior (childrens psych lit, behavioral psych lit.) is so astounding ... the fact we can agree on a minimum set of things we can agree we dont like happening to us (note: smart way of asserting universality of morals, you dont want to be murdered can be a good minimim example here) blows my mind.

In the end its what i choose to believe, i dont think im unique in thinking this way either.

I think even my thinking’s rightness is the result of that same intra generational process, im not unique, nor do i think i am in control (beyond the local control i exercise by trying not to die or be eaten).
I don't think so. I imagine that because prostitution must involve some 2 way communication that it could satisfy a deeper need in people.

Why do some people go see therapists when they could just read self help books? It's the same thing right?

I am a lazy programmer in that way. I'd rather autogenerate and use robust libraries as much as possible.
I enjoyed it, but the levels felt very easy. I'd also suggest some way to work in words like mutex or semaphore more. If you named every variable xxxMutex for example the game would do a better job of teaching the vocabulary (I think). As is, it's easy to just manipulate the threads without really knowing the names of the synchronization elements.
For some reason I still strongly prefer the look and feel of Android over iOS, but at this point my next phone will be an iPhone.

Why? Because Google recently stepped up its notification spam in their official apps. They're using a mechanism that's supposed to exist to notify me of things _I_ want/need to know about urgently instead to advertise products and services to me that I have no interest in.

It's tedious to track down all the places these are coming from and disable them. And I shouldn't have to. I paid a premium for a high-end flagship Google phone. As a phone user, I have to give the vendor power to do all kinds of things on my behalf and to me — in this case, the power to pull my focus, or even wake me up in the middle of the night. As a phone user, my bare minimum expectation is that this power will be respected. And yet Google has chosen to use this focus-pulling notification mechanism to serve me ads.

Google does not respect even their paying users. It feels like somewhere deep in their corporate culture, their users barely even exist to them. I'm just a sub-pixel blip on a request rate dashboard, and if they can temporarily increase my "engagement" by slapping me in the face, then a slap in the face it is.

The statistics showing "death from despair" as a significant cause of lowered life expectancy in the US are my "prima faci" evidence for my comment above.

The idea that the situation of addicts and the homeless is "diminished" by complaints that their condition is related to a society that has reduced the minimum wage and failed to provide sufficient well-paid, satisfying jobs is kind of double-talk.

Does talking about unaffordable rents in many major cities "diminish" the efforts of the homeless as well?
All things considered, I would be surprised if that contributed meaningfully to any of this.
You're not the cops I've dealt with but thanks for being good sports when I go hard on you guys when you falsely arrest me and stuff.

> Most people would prefer to go a 50k school with 38k in scholarships than a 12k school.

Sure. The psychology is completely different. "I went to an average place at an average cost" doesn't have the sizzle of "I went to an elite place, and I got a massive discount!"
Yes, but not at a viable cost. Drilling is extraordinarily expensive and complicated.

There's the added issue that rock's thermal conductivity is low, and any thermal borehole would have a limited effective lifespan as it reduced the temperature of adjacent material.

Geothermal energy is a viable and widely tapped energy resource, where it's available. In almost all such locations, it's been substantially exploited, with two notable exceptions: the African Rift Valley (mostly in Kenya), and the Yellowstone supervolcano, a national park in the US.

Substantial developments exist in California (The Geysers), Hawaii, Iceland, Japan, the Philippines, New Zeland, and quite probably elsewhere. 1GW+ plants are possible, comparable with the largest practical thermal and nuclear power plants (generally 1-4 GW, though multiple plants or reactors may be co-located). Worldwide capacity as of 2015 is about 12.5 GW.

The two principle variants are standard and enhanced geothermal. A standard plant utilises naturally-occurring steam, and is far less expensive to develop. "Enhanced geothermal" involves boreholes and often water injection to provide power generation.

I'd followed the case of one such project in Australia, the Geodynamics Habanero project. I'd first read of that in 2014 through a grossly misleading and fatuously optimistic report which struck me as both odd and curiously fact-free. Digging showed that in reality the project was running years late, at 1/50th originally-planned capacity, well over budget, and with significant technical challenges.

https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/1wpa90/how_not...

Checking now, it appears the firm plugged the remaining wells in 2015 and cancelled the project.

http://www.thinkgeoenergy.com/geodynamics-plugging-wells-and...

Even had the project gone as initially scoped, the wells would have had a useful life of about 20-40 years, after which all available useful thermal energy would have been extracted, and would have to be replenished over ... long time, possibly centuries or more. There's a reason the Earth's interior remains molten -- rock is a very good insulator.

I'm not an opponent of geothermal power -- where appropriate it's highly useful, dependable, safe, and proven. In Africa it stands to make a tremendous difference, where even a small plant would make a tremendous increase in the availability (and probably reliability) of electricity. I'd encourage consideration of developing even such normally off-limits natural park resources such as Yellowstone (specifically excluded from a USGS geothermal resource survey I'd checked on some years back).

But enhanced development through borehole-based wells looks like a very long shot.

Wikipedia's treatment of geothermal is good:

My 15-year-old will be dealing with the college rat race pretty soon. Some of her friends have been taking community college or online college courses in their later high school years. Some have graduated high school and are working, taking some remote courses at night, methodically working toward career goals while not going into debt.

The old monolithic approach to college, really an extension of the K-12 system, seems increasingly impractical and irrelevant for today's needs. I agree with others here who argue for taking courses on an ad hoc basis, focusing more on growing a career starting from age 18, rather than immersing oneself in higher ed for four years, hoping and assuming there's a nice job waiting at the other end.

Look, if you have $200K or $300K lying around, great, go to a nice liberal arts school and enjoy yourself for a few years. There are few things in life more fun than being a college student, stuffing your mind with knowledge during the day and getting soused at night.

But in the real world... these little liberal arts schools are a luxury our society no longer can afford, nor do they really serve much of a purpose anymore. The only shame is that we potentially will lose some writers, poets, and artists.
For a while they were using Yodlee for the backend (which did all sorts of weird stuff), but I think they rewrote it after Intuit bought them.

Is the article suggesting to apply a string CRDT to an entire JSON structure? Are people doing that?

At the very least, I would expect different JSON data types to use different CRDTs. For a collaborative model, I would expect the semantics of the data model to be reflected in the choice of CRDTs for different substructures in the JSON.
