For the last years I was working on several startups as a contractor.

I always put my very soul to the success of the project, tried to be friend for
everyone on the team, committed for 40-50 hours per week. When projects
demanded non-profile skills from me, I was open-minded, trying to learn new
skillset in no-time to help as quickly as possible.

All the times I was dissapointed on being really no-one in the end for the
project.

Despite I was trying to be guiding voice to help project to stay away from bad
decisions, project owners were not really listening.

I said, many-many times things like "let's stop delivering new features until
we will have at least 1 paying customer and focus on getting customer flow",
CEOs just kept pushing in obviously wrong direction which ultimately meant end
for the project.

Now I'm fed with all of this and decided to put my limited time to my own
projects.
Those activities don't make nearly as much money as skiing. There are a whole lot of places that are great for mountain biking and hiking, but very few locations with the elevation and precipitation required to support a good ski resort.

Somewhat paradoxically, climate change could make some areas of the Rockies and Sierras more snowy. But depletion of snow in other areas would cause the areas with snow to become even more expensive -- and they're already pretty exclusive today.

I developed a few Chrome apps while I was in uni and what a pleasure. The APIs were easy to comprehend, the creation of an app running on any desktop OS only took a few minutes, I loved it.

Mountain biking is already on a huge uptick across the world, convenient timing I guess. As an avid rider, to use the terminology, I'm super stoked. We didn't previously have "bike parks" in Australia, but now we have a bunch. With a few lift access bike parks being developed on the ski resorts.

However, a fairly bitter pill to swallow this year was some parks I was looking forward to riding being caught in the Australian bushfires. One was a local park, and I look forward to helping rebuild it once it's safe.

It's a scary prospect for that to become the norm. Nature is dear to me. Being able to go riding in the forest is a pillar of my health, mental and physical. I have consistently been unable to ride this summer due to heatwaves and bushfire smoke. Occasionally I would make poor judgement, and leave to ride when it was clear only to be smoked out on the trails an hour later, from fires hundreds of kilometers away.
AI for Good Starts with Collaboration
Well the article was a bit thin on the why TBH. But indeed one thing I noticed about Dutch houses is the attention to the living room, at the expense of all other spaces. Bedrooms barely as wide as a bed, ludicrously small bathrooms, entrances that are barely an afterthought (unless you count the space to “get the mud off your hoofs” as one.)

Oh, and the cheapness an often obvious design mistakes even in new buildings, mostly due to the boom/bust nature of the housing market: projects grind to a halt during bust, only exploding in a hurried frenzy when the market would happily buy anything as long as it has a roof (leaky.)
"Some good concepts"?

It was the first language to add "if/else" constructs, GC, closures, first class functions, reference semantics, and recursion.

It took between 5 to 40 years before these became available in mainstream languages (conditionals like if/else were adopted early, GC not so much, closures took even more). Add to that macros and the flexibility of runtime evaluation / code creation, which most mainstream languages still lack.

And of course, Lisp's rules remain (and will always be) the most succinct way to define a full blown programming language with meta-programming facilities to boot -- as opposed to a mere Turing machine like thing or assembler.

>IMO Lisp is just overrated, it lacks visual clues, reads right to left with horrible nesting etc..

This doesn't make any sense...

The nesting is the same as in almost any language.

"reads right to left" - huh?

You know that Lisp code can be indented right?

The usual answer to that complaint is that Gecko is harder to embed. MDN pages on the subject even mention it’s deprecated and that the documentation is obsolete.

Indeed, hiking doesnt require you to spend moneys on rental equipment. It's a bit different for mountain biking - most of the time you need lift passes to enjoy the mountain. And with the explosion of electric bikes rentals in the last years, and there are lots of growth opportunities for generating revenue there as well.

And it's not only about hiking/biking, of course.

Of course, having more places to ski is better than having less places - my main concern is people and their jobs, and not specific resort activities per se.
Unique pointers imply ownership of the underlying memory. If you have multiple references to the same data, or in your case a tree, it might make sense to use raw pointers (or references) to access the tree data. It would not make sense to grant ownership of the same memory to two unique_ptr, or make copies of data unnecessarily.
Sure, I get that. But my bigger point isn't so much about Alpine skiing. To say simply that people will adapt to new climates belies the loss that people experience with the destruction of their home landscapes and ecosystems. In understanding this, I find the concept of solastalgia to be useful.

From Wikipedia: "Solastalgia (/ˌsɒləˈstældʒə/) is a neologism that describes a form of mental or existential distress caused by environmental change. In many cases this is in reference to global climate change, but more localized events such as volcanic eruptions, drought or destructive mining techniques can cause solastalgia as well."
I Second this. Most weird behaviors in C++ today can be detected by ASAN and UBSAN.

There also exists low-cost random-sampling-based ASAN implementation that can be enabled in production: Google uses GWP-ASAN for all server-side applications as well as Chrome on Windows/Mac. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQGWMLkwrKc for details.

In case you're wondering why I make this comment, consider compilers and the question of source languages and target languages. I remember when for every combination of SRC/TGT there was a different compiler. As the number of source languages grew, and the number of target platforms grew, so the number of compilers grew even faster.

The obvious solution (although there are problems) is to create a single, intermediate language ... let's call it BANDJI. Then for every source language we write one front-end, for every target language/platform we write one back-end, and the combinatorial explosion is tamed.

Of course, really properly new languages can't always be mapped onto BANDJI, so this doesn't always work as easily as one might hope. Even so, it limits the combinatorial explosion of required work.

What does this have to to with my original comment about time zones?

If you announce something in your local time zone, you then require that the reader knows how to convert that time zone to their local time. So every reader has to know how to convert every timezone. Worse, they will also need to know when and if the different timezones change for Summer time, and by how much.

If, instead, you publish/specify information in just UTC, then everyone only needs to know exactly one conversion - their own from (and to) UTC.

So it's worth considering publishing your times in UTC, possibly as well as local time to cover the majority case. But if you have any aspirations to being understood by people outside your immediate geographical area, maybe it's worth a thought.

Does that verifier have a strong possibility of false positives? I'm curious why C compilers have such a strong history of making reasonable checks optional and hidden behind a bunch of switches.

Induction is not proof :-) I'm also convinced, but primarily by Turing's argument ad politeness: "Instead of arguing continually over this point it is usual to have the polite convention that everyone thinks".[1]

Where will financeers spend their winter breaks?
Out here in the East, the ski hills are often already in the highest altitude spots for hundreds of miles around.
On the other hand Ski Touring is on the rise at least for now. Due to the high prices of ski resort tickets and bad snow conditions many (like myself) started to pick it up. It's the healthier and environmentally friendly version of alpine skiing. As many lower altitude resorts are turning off their cable cars the slopes are invaded by beginner and fitness oriented ski tourers. They are perfect for those because there is no danger of avalanches and no mountain experience is required and they are satisfied with less snow than alpine skiers. Some ghost ski resorts have started to have high parking ticket prices now to at least get some revenue out of it.
These plans have been public for a while and have been heavily criticised for being far too unambitious. Some of the lignite plants are not scheduled for shutdown until 2034, and hard coal until 2038.

Loudly touting that we're the first to bindingly exit coal with a 2038 target when France's target is 2022, they just haven't enshrined it in law, and Britain's power generation was coal-free for nearly half of 2019 (3665 out of 8760 hours), with a shutdown target of 2025 and coal accounting for just 2% of their electricity generation compared to 40% for Germany's, is just sad. That statement is incredibly carefully crafted to avoid being an outright lie, while still being extremely misleading.

"Coal supplied 2% of UK electricity in 2019, down from 30% in 2014." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_active_coal_fired_powe...), and 40% in 2012, sounds a lot better to me.
No, one can now produce snow in ambient temperatures up to 25C. It gets a bit slushy, though, but when the snow heap is big enough it gets almost self sustained. It just costs a lot and is not environmentally friendly to use so much power to cool down the water in the snow cannons.

Locally they are experimenting on heat pump technology, and to use the excess heat to something useful. Then it might be more viable. Probably cannot do it in too high temperatures, but a bit above freezing should work.

Here, they have also experimented on building a gigantic heap of snow at the end of the season, and covering it so it doesn't melt too much during summer. Then it's easier to lay artificial snow on top in the fall, or the natural snow that occurs doesn't just melt when hitting the ground.

I think many people have a problem with mathematical notation, not maths itself. Mathematical notation is optimized for terseness and suitability for use on a whiteboard. Code has made great leaps in terms of readability and expressiveness compared to that, and is therefore more accessible to many people even when expressing the same concepts.

For an example see the comments on the map/reduce post from yesterday.
Nope, encrypted SNI cannot work against GFW or pretty much any state censorship as the whole idea is bullshit and relies on everyone a) tunneling DNS queries to a centralized party, which itself only operates under the state's mercy, and b) everyone hosting on a single centralized party and c) this party randomizing IP addresses of web sites (none of the CDNs do that, because they want to avoid risking all of their IP ranges being banned by states because of a single website).
UBSan and ASan have essentially zero false positives. They do point out undefined behavior which happens to work on your platform, but at the very least those are still portability bugs.

Actually Arduino code does tend to use dynamic allocation for things like strings - it's a lot easier than the alternative, they tend to have quite a lot of memory these days (e.g. 1 MB) and hobby projects don't need to be super-reliable usually.

If your ambient temperature is 25C, then your ground temperature is going to be way too high. It is simply not possible to cover 4-5 mile runs with 10" base at above freezing and keep it there for 3-4 months. Even if you do, first rain is going to chew through your base, not to mention the totally regular damage from skiers and snowboarders.

This is an intuition that many neuroscientists have shared, it's just that direct experimental evidence of 1) it happening at all in a non-trivial way and 2) it being relevant to the behavior of an animal is somewhat scarce.

Plus, the sum and threshold model actually gets you pretty far, as evidenced by artificial neural networks, so there might be some resistance to adding complexity that might not be necessary.

Sure, there are plenty of interesting proposals for Uranium extraction and breeders. What worries me is that despite decades of large-budget research, most of them have never been successfully demonstrated. I don't think that hoping for all the technological problems to disappear is a very good strategy.

On top of that, even with current easily accessible Uranium sources, nuclear energy is significantly more expensive than both fossil fuels and renewables. I don't see that getting better with even more complicated reactor technologies.

No, actually the false positive rate of these flags is practically zero. (I'm not sure if it's 100% zero, but I used those extensively, reported many bugs and every time a developer told me "this is a false positive" they were wrong.)

The reason they aren't enabled by default is that that's not what they're designed for. They have a significant performance impact, you can't enable them all at once, they conflict with other security features and they may introduce security issues.

These are developer features. They aren't there to run your production code, they are there to test during development and bug finding.
