In general in WebDev and general software development there are lots of talks like these about how you should identify and overcome imposter syndrome. For some that is useful. For others, there was a fellow earlier who tried converting long(64 bit on Linux and 32 bit on Windows in C) to double and back. A double can loselessly hold a long smaller than 2^53 and a few other long's sparsely. One of the longs a double can hold is -2^63 which if he knew about doubles would not have surprised him. Meanwhile 2^63-1(the maximum value for a long in 2's complement when it is a 64 bit value) was not a double. My point being, be humble.
Yes, even counting "unionized workforce" cars cannot even remotely compete with mass transit rail on a per capita cost. Why is this so hard for people to understand?
Is there anything you wish Cloudflare offered with Workers (https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/) or VCL->Workers conversion (https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/archive/recipes/vc...) specifically?

I think if we're being charitable, it's pretty clear that they meant no major electric car companies. And there were no major car companies on the scale of early Ford before early Ford.

I guess if we're being pedantic, he also didn't bootstrap Tesla.
Wow, someone actually did it! When I reported this non-conformance to the dash mailing-list, I first got pushback that I was wrong about the spec, and then once I convinced them I was right the response was something along the lines of "that's stupid why would we do that"
Same with pizza delivery since forever.
Thanks for sharing! Very interesting I wonder where the index would be now since we have experienced another surge in house prices over the last 5 years in the Netherlands and in particular in Amsterdam.
I don’t think that’s true. You can serve your own SSL certificate through Cloudflare and they won’t be able to inspect it?
Maybe you already know all this, but to other curious readers:

The great attractor is about 200 Mly away. Directly behind it, 600 Mly away from us, is the Shapley Supercluster, towards which the great attractor is itself moving. In the opposite direction is a underdensity, called the "Dipole repeller", and between the two, where we are, is a "dark flow".

Christopher Tolkien, unlike Brian Herbert, was a distinguished literary scholar of his own right. I tried to get through Paul of Dune, but it's drivel. And I'm a pretty forgiving reader, having devoured plenty of dreck and enjoyed it (like the Hunger Games trilogy for example).
Totally agree, glad you brought this up. The actor was good but the script and the direction didn't fit with the original character at all. It felt like a modern take on the role.
NIMBYs happened
It’s actually a fairly common trap to fall into - having expertise in one area and assuming you can jump into a completely different field and revolutionise it.

That doesn’t mean it doesn’t sometimes happen, but at this point there’s no evidence that the Boring Company is really doing anything particularly novel at this point...
I see it in the same light as Myers–Briggs types. They only have the meaning people find in them. People seem to enjoy it, and all the proposed harms are as hard to prove as the predictive power.

This. Every change has some negative effect. The question is whether the net effect is positive or negative.
Well you are the first proponent of the MBTI I've encountered who has disagreed with those two statements. We clearly have very different experiences.

When I took the MBTI in secondary school, it was stressed that the specific point was to discover which of the 16 types you were, and that knowing which type you were would be helpful in life.
The Bakshi movie's Lothlórien was absolutely beautiful though. I also liked all the voice actors in that movie better than the actors in the Jackson trilogy (except I guess Samwise, who was a little silly in the Bakshi film). It also didn't have much comic relief, which I appreciated.
The website looks very nice, but I am a bit confused as to the provenance. Why would I trust these(admittedly reasonable looking) guidelines.
I’ve heard from some restaurants that the main reason for not supporting delivery companies is the large # of chargebacks. I’d be curious to confirm.
Not sure what this article was trying to get at. If a SAAS service could be replaced by a single line of code, then you did not need to use it in the first place.

I found it somewhat enlightening.

If you’ve ever coded Haskell in “point-free” style you might also get the gist of how “words compose”.
Really simplistic view: Before the hour of work I had $10003 of vehicle, $0 in my pocket, and an hour of time. After the hour of work I had $10000 of vehicle, and $3 in my pocket.

With the assumption that you are going to eventually pay that $3 back into your vehicle, by paying for repairs or buying a new one, you basically just "borrowed" money from your vehicle.
I would also add that people take the jobs because of initial sign-up bonuses (although those have greatly diminished over the years) and because the sales pitch is often compelling. It isn’t until the person signs up that they realize it’s harder to get jobs and that the average pay isn’t worth the hassle. At that point, people quit. It’s why turnover is so high for the food delivery apps (I’m excluding Seamless/Grubhub, who I believe offer a different model. Or at least it did — Seamless used to rely on a restaurants own delivery staff). Turnover is still high for car services, but there are stricter requirements to get approved there and in a busy area, the average pay is going to be better than for DoorDash or Postmates or whatever.
Nice line, I'll borrow it. Also tip in cash, exclusively and well.
Kind of telling when the darkest color is 3.6% in the graph for areas with telecommuting.
Yes, astrology is spirituality. Its popularity has increased as participation in organized religion has fallen. Coincidence?
Why don't we have two sets of memory - the main, slow, cached memory, and a smaller set of super fast low latency memory, like cache, but that the programmer and compiler can use explicitly?

I really wish iOS had a way to selectively block all internet access for specific apps (like it kinda does for cellular data), and to block the Hidden photos album from all apps at the system/API level.

That would make it more comfortable to try apps like this in terms of privacy concerns.

Unless there's been a serious homomorphic encryption breakthrough, it's impossible to impose layer 7 intrusion prevention if layer 6 encryption is passthrough.

They subscribed to consolidate the listed offerings (CDN, WAF, DDoS protection). That WAF is mentioned at all is a tip that Cloudflare must decrypt and analyze Gitlab's traffic before re-encrypting it for delivery to Gitlab's application servers.
Isn't this exactly the reason people say PHP is awful, though? Hidden pitfalls if you just do what works and aren't security conscious, and too much flexibility instead of one clean standard. And at the end of the day, putting blame on rookie users who keep wandering onto the busy street and get run over by a bus.

At this point there is no reason sane network security shouldn't be baked into popular Linux OSes (except that the cloud is busy abstracting the problem away). Sure, real sysadmins can have the keys to the gun safe, but these are structural problems that could and should be mitigated through modernizing OS design.
"The best encryption there is"?
If Office 365 can use the Apple updater, so can Edge. Or they can do whatever Chrome does, it doesn't require admin rights. I don't think Microsoft can talk about secure and private and then require admin to install their software. It is archaic.
I trust Cloudflare a whole lot more than Gitlab. CF makes all the right noises around privacy for their 1.1.1.1 service, for example.

Gitlab is still the team that didn't notice that three of their three independent backup mechanisms had not been working for weeks to months. And while wholly cloning Github is legal, I started having serious doubts about their ethical instincts when they repeatedly tried to incite people against Github for cloning minor features.

Beyond that: it depends. I tend to believe large vendors are worse for privacy of generic consumers, because they have the scale where it pays off to sell data or do "big data" analysis. They are better for individual high-value targets because they have more. to lose, and less to win, relative to whatever they could expect by screwing you over. Protection against rogue employees is also something that happens in larger teams, if at all.
They were talking about 8th.
I'd say pizza delivery is far more lucrative. At least, it was when I was a teen.
> I have seen no evidence that spellcheck reduces people’s ability to learn spelling.

Spellcheck has shown me that I've been misspelling certain words forever :-)
I think a lot of this is due to the fact that people don't understand statistics well. 30% confident is actually pretty confident if you know the full range of options. Most people with folk statistics tend to believe that anything less than 50% won't happen.
This is a super pessimistic and misleading description of phase 2 & 3 trials; actual efficacious drugs do come out of the FDA review process. Many phase 3 trials are against standard of care rather than placebo and many are longer than a few weeks, particularly for treatments where efficacy is hard to prove.

Ariane was the most competitive / succeful private launcher for 20 years even in face of American companies.

Not necessarily. I think it’s a combination of easy money and lack of understanding of net income.
It really depends on your definition of programmable, I can see how it could be argued both ways.

As far as I see the current solution to the ,,few rows'' problem and the read errors is to have even more data and to make sure that each read is treated as what it is: a sample from a different cell.

This way for example a bone marrow sample can be used to model the whole dynamic that's going on in the human system, and the evolution of cells / RNA expressions between cells. Of course this means that more probabilistic hidden models have to be used, instead of putting together the reads to form a genome.

Have you seen this video? I think it's amazing:

https://youtu.be/G_Rhp9LWDUM

The way cancer is studied is also changed by this method, though you 'll need the new Illumina machine with 30x number of reads that was announced a few days ago.
Don't see why refraction needs to explain lots of observations?

While dark matter may fit multiple different observations better, it may also be the multiple different observations are due to multiple phenomena. So really don't see any reason we need a magic bullet that fits all observations...

Frankly, I think refraction and reflection make a good candidate for explaining redshift of the universe, and should be easily testable...

I too bombed in second year of my degree. Looking back I can see that it is the "dip" (there's a book by Seth Godin on this topic) in your academic progression. Your references to not knowing enough come across as the imposter syndrome. It seems to be common for people with high standards.

Based on my experiences I would suggest dropping the math major and concentrate on graduating with the CS major. Do they have 3 year degree courses or only 4 year? In other words make your goal the MVD (minimal viable degree).

With the degree and 3 years experience you would have better employment prospects than by dropping out and just relying on your experience to date.

If your intellectual interests require it, you can always do some post-graduate study on a part-time basis. Having spent some time teaching and researching in academia, I would suggest doing some in-depth research and talk to people before committing to that path. It can become quite bureaucratic and grants focused and thus more stressful than the majority of jobs in commercial settings.
He's saying: Sure it costs me money to maintain the vehicle, but that's tomorrow's me problem. Today I get cash. It's like you took a loan from yourself with your vehicle's health as the collateral.
I don't think that's apples to apples comparison.

As a pizza delivery driver, your pizza shop is your base and you only go out when there's an order that needs to be delivered. My friend used to work at Pizza Hut and he was getting reimbursed for gas (per mile but it was slightly more than his gas mileage so i suppose it covers for wear and tear?).

As far as i know, you're not getting reimbursed for delivering DoorDash and the pickup location could be on the other side of the town.
That assumption is there because in the US, things are generally assumed to be safe until proven it isn't. I don't see people asking if the cups they buy are safe to drink from (e.g. many BPA free cups are worse than BPA cups but no one seems to care), or the food they eat. They don't ask for proof their humidifier is safe.

The reason why people are concerned is because vaping is a smoking replacement and people hate smoking in all its forms, safe or not. It's a political thing.
I guess the better analogy is "an orbit is an orbit". We don't care about the orbit as much as we care about the rockets in the case of SpaceX, because what the rockets mean for our ability to explore space.

In the case of Boring, a tunnel is a tunnel, but if they can make them cheap and fast, that opens up a bunch of possibilities for improving transit.
Food delivery apps have made 80% of restaurants realize that their customers would pay $8-$10 more per order for delivery. Before that customers didn't have the option and most restaurants just figured it wasn't for them. It's a huge new market.
Considering how the majority of the news releases and articles were written, it is not surprising that fear of vaping itself is the idea that remains in people's minds.
I know of some areas that would disagree with you: it is possible to out build demand, most rural areas have done it. I have driving 4 lane highways on a nice weekday where I could see for miles in either direction and there wasn't even one other car!

The only problem is cost. For a city to out build unmet demand they would need to get to add several dozen layers of road, one on top of another (that is bridges over bridges for 12 layers). Nobody would seriously propose building such a thing. If we had it the mobility of the city would allow people to accomplish more things in the city than they can today.
If consumers aren't willing to pay more, then I truly hope this gigging economy goes down the drain.

I live in a country with extremely strong labor laws, and for the past 3-4 years we've seen more and more of these gigging companies / startups try, and surprise surprise, they're fighting tooth and nail to get around labor laws - because that's where their edge and profitability lies.

This is gonna sound harsh, but If you live in a country with abysmal labor laws, and you're getting exploited by companies like that...well, I don't particularly care. You need to get your laws and rights fixed, that's all I can say.

But to bring this garbage here, that's where I personally draw a line.
First video I watch: "You are strictly prohibited from making a copy or modification of, or from rebroadcasting or re-encoding, this broadcast without the prior written permission from Apple Public Relations"

I'll be surprised if it's online for another week (not that I want that to be the case).

At the same time, the right-click blocker, referral link to Rogue Ameoba, and soliciting of donations just rub me the wrong way. To be honest, these all should have been uploaded directly to archive.org or something.

It's kinda disappointing, as I've gone to apple.com/pr for years and downloaded press images of the products I find cool/appealing. I always hoped there'd somehow be an archive of all the awesome presentations and stuff over the years. It's bittersweet that there's such a rad archive online, but it's approached in such an exclusionary way.

Actually it's even worse than I thought -- went to copy one of the Vimeo links (since I could see the videos are hosted on Vimeo) and they are not viewable outside of the applearchive site? https://player.vimeo.com/video/372119562 for example. "Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here."

In addition to capturing carbon, forests (of native tree species) provide many ecosystem services, including fresh water retention in the land, food and habitat for other species, shading of the ground, etc that a greenhouse full of algae would be challenged to provide. Most of the carbon stored in a forest is subterranean and increases significantly over time.
No it doesn't. If you know something will kill people, economic arguments are not considered sufficient. This was famously decided when it was revealed Ford elected not to recall the Pinto on the basis of paying compensation was cheaper then the fleet maintenance they had to do.

> we do in fact have worse memories than scholars during the Middle Ages.

I wouldn't be so sure. People can regurgitate from memory dialogs for entire movie series, TV shows, and countless songs. We also remember deeply nested folder structure on numerous computer systems, variety of software interfaces (e.g. click Menu > Tools > Options...), and innumerable memes/facts/lists. Sure we forget a ton (is it needle/haystack or haystack/needle?) but we know and remember a lot more than medieval epic poems.

Navigating the modern world requires an insane amount of memorization but since we no longer need to remember road signs or phone numbers, we feel we remember less today than decades or centuries ago.
Consumers need to learn the real value of what's happening, and realize that low prices are not sustainable.

Might want to double check your sources. Tuition is $14,000 now compared to $5,000 when I was there. That’s roughly double when you account for inflation.

It’s not nothing, but it’s also not super relevant.

Also in that same period, the UC system has lost more than 1/2 its state funding, hence the increase.

The school doesn’t really have any more to work with now than it used to, but has a lot more students since they are required to accept the top 2% of all California students.
This point you made about imbalance in leg muscles has just illuminated a possible source of my back pain that should have been obvious to me but I just attributed it to age. My left leg is weaker than my right due to knee surgery I had a decade ago. My muscles never fully recovered and now I have back/leg pain on my right side. I will have to look into correcting this and see how my pain progresses over time.

None of it is perfect. I know programmers believe anything that's not software or brewing a flat white should be automated, but dark designs are inherently difficult because the pleasant ridge is narrow, with contrast always close to being too high or too low. As of yet, it really need a designer's eye.

It’s irritating that Apple pulled the Pax app from the App Store because it was related to “vaping”.
I especially notice this with iOS. iPhone OS (back when it was called that) was a masterpiece of design with every app having its own, different personality while being simple & efficient to use.

The last few iOS releases are a disaster on both fronts. Design-wise it’s completely blank, flat & empty, and usability wise a lot of the apps are just shadows of their former selves. Music, messages, maps, App Store, podcasts, etc. Even basic text editing was downgraded.
Yes, Nebula Graph supports multiple backend storages by design. So theoretically you are able to use whatever storage you want for whichever graph space in Nebula Graph.
