I would love it if these apps gave an option for easiest drive. Both Apple and Google tell me to take a left turn by my house onto a busy road when its actually quicker to go the other way and just loop around. In fact, if they just had an “avoid unprotected left turns” option that’d be fantastic.
>By definition, big-O is for predicting the run-time growth of a specific implementation. It doesn’t directly apply to formulas. And it’s not an abstract concept that applies to arbitrary inputs that the program you’re analyzing can’t process by design. You cannot assume arbitrarily large inputs.

Time complexity is usually for specific algorithms, though it can also be studied for a general problem itself (e.g. any comparison sort is at least O(n log n), regardless of algorithm or implementation). It is precisely a concept that applies to arbitrarily large inputs, that condition is at the core of its very definition.

If I designed a hardware board that runs bubble sort on any array that fits into its 16GB of memory and gave documentation printing out its (large) constant predictable run time, that still wouldn't make it correct to say Bubble sort is a constant time operation.

>Your bubble sort example is contrived, but the answer is that it is okay to call a sort of 10 elements constant if that’s one component of a system and it doesn’t grow as the size of your input grows...if the sort inside doesn’t change as your input changes, then that piece is constant.

We aren't talking about running on 10 elements and it staying at 10 elements as the size of the input grows (that would indeed be O(1)). For the original example in the link, we are talking about a piece (arithmeticSum) whose input is n, which tautologically does grow as the size of the input grows.
China is a major manufacturing partner and it is Wilbur Ross's job to identify and discuss weaknesses in that setup. What do you expect him to do, quietly put his head in the sand?

Repo gives liquidity to banks, which may prevent them from selling other assets in order to maintain operations and meet any balance sheet requirements they may have. It doesn't automatically support equities. China's government may also buy equities when markets open, but that would be kind of foolish because they could simply wait and buy lower, where they probably would have more price impact.

China has historically had major issues with liquidity and balance sheet. Look up the 2013 Liquidity Crisis and you'll see what I mean. Not to mention that many banks participate in risky practices like meeting balance sheet requirements only on disclosure deadlines and dealing in loans secured with ghost collateral.

I've got this problem when teaching people things. When I need to explain a single feature, I feel it helps to give historical context for why things are the way they are, but it's hard to concisely give just the relevant context in that case - because there's just so much of it. Getting the whole picture in one go might be a lot better.

(Interestingly, the historical context could also pre-empt much of the criticism of "the modern web", or lamenting about not every browser building on Chromium.)
Ouai instead of oui, is like yeah instead of yes. Putain is an interjection of surprise or anger, like when you leave your flat with the door closing behind you only to realize the keys are left inside, that's when you scream putain (fuck). These are not inverse words.

Long story short, most of everything else discussed in this thread is not appropriate. If you address women as meuf (hoe), your friendship and romantic prospects will dwindle like an ice cream under the sun.

We need to rethink reward structures in this country. The fact that an investor can put up some capital and then gain "dividends" for as long as a company exists is ludicrous to me. They aren't actively doing anything to earn those dividends. It's simply a scheme to reward those with capital and assets.

Meanwhile, the employees who work hard to contribute to GDP and grow the company see a fixed salary. They do not see those dividends for the rest of their lives, instead when they leave a company it's over. Why? Why don't employees build up dividend streams from the companies they helped build? Why do Amazon employees get paid minimum wage and are denied bathroom breaks when Bezos' net worth can swing $9B in a single day? Why aren't all employees, from Janitor to CEO receiving dividends from the success of the company?

It all seems ridiculous to me. We need to encourage people to work hard and innovate, not sit on piles of capital and assets.

I'm someone who invests heavily and takes advantage of the system. But I see the flaws and it really bothers me.

> I currently have a latency of 11.6ms in Ableton. Adding another 10ms latency through the internet connection wouldn't be a drama for me.

Music is all about timing. Latency is crucial. 11.6ms is already too high for playing anything but instruments with slow attacks. Adding 10ms more would make it almost unusable for anyone that actually plays with their fingers.

What you describe could probably be used for musics that are programmed rather than played, but that's already a niche product.
By making choices day by day. As the other commentor posting quoting Heraclitus, they are what make us: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22217440

If a big choice is required, then first do a search of possible benefits, and vulnerabilities. Of what you would do if things went wrong, what the worst case scenarios are, and how to deal with them.

I made such an analysis when considering leaving graduate school to start a business, and it helped immensely in clarifying things.

You do ask a good question, as there are two separate questions in the quote from Epictetus: resolving upon a thing, and taking action to conform to it.

It seems OP had already resolved, they just needed to make the jump. The resolution stage has somewhat different demands.

For some, they may find that some factors preclude such a big jump. For instance, obligations to support a family, health issues, major consequences to failure and lack of a safety net, etc. If so, then the second part of the question doesn’t apply, as wishing for a different circumstance is merely a dream, not a resolution.

But, if your trouble is merely comfort and inertia, then slap your face with cold water and wake up. You only have one life. It is seeping away even as you read this comment.

If you want to do something else and you are not doing it, then comfort is your enemy. It lulls you into sticking with what is merely tolerable.

But you are dying. Focus on this, focus on the pain of that realization. It is this pain, this discomfort, that can let you resolve upon a change, whatever that may be in your circumstances.

Once you have resolved, then all becomes clearer. Save every penny you can. Discard comfort and focus on necessity, for the transition will be worse than both the comfortable present and the expected better future. Every bit of slack you can generate helps immeasurably.

Ask if you truly, truly want the change. Soul searching on your own with pen and paper is the best method I know, along with long walks.

If you do form this resolve, and truly decide you want it, hewing to this idea is what lets you break out of inertia.

Yes. Overall SkyAlt architecture is vertical. This means, that when I'm adding a new feature I try to add it in form of new View or Column type. You can see the current lists in this picture[0].

This leads, you can start using SkyAlt very quickly. You need to know only Table view and Text and Number columns, that's it. You can learn Charts, Map, etc. views and Date, Link, etc. columns later or ignore them. I hope that this "vertical design" will keep SkyAlt organize for new users, but power users will get advanced features. In short, it's not there if you don't need it.

Python 2 LOL

I think paying for Pybites is worth it. Lots AND LOTS of exercises and learning within. They also target Python 3!
I'm not sure how you got that from what I said. There's nothing preventing people from moving out of those areas and getting jobs elsewhere. In fact, there would be a pretty strong incentive to hire those people because they would likely be willing to work for less than incumbent locals, which is pretty much the system we already have in place for many kinds of labor (not to mention outsourcing to cheap labor areas in the US that happens today). Additionally, freeing people in cheap areas from having to work shit jobs just to survive has the large upside of freeing those people to work on things they either care about or that have better economic potential than barely making rent.

My point is: UBI should only enable people to subsist on government income if they are willing to live in cheap areas with not-so-comfortable living conditions. Some people will jump at this chance, and that's fine. Many other people will decide they want to live in more desirable locations or increase their standard of living and will need to supplement UBI with other income accordingly. If we try to make UBI location-specific it opens up all kinds of arbitrage opportunities and weird incentives that I don't think most people want.
>Transfering cash directly is the most efficient way of decreasing inequality

Is there any evidence for this? Is there evidence the money won't go right back into the lottery, consumption of unhealthy food, other vices, or right back into increased rent? What percentage of people will turn around and commit to an unnecessary more expensive car payment?

If you hand people cash, but don't correct a lack of financial knowledge, health knowledge, and overcoming marketing, why do you think it will be spent wisely? Aren't lottery windfalls exact evidence of the opposite?

At at an extreme minimum UBI should come with a budgeting framework. At a more extreme level it may be better as food stamps, health care, and retirement funding. Remember, the Freedom Dividend is instead of other, more directly allocated forms of social support. For those on SNAP and other cash equivalent programs, it's less than $1000 in net benefit, which makes it more net increase in welfare for the middle class than the poorest. A person who currently gets $600 in welfare will be able to upgrade to $1000, gaining $400, but somebody who currently qualifies for nothing gets $1000 more. So sure, the poorest are getting slightly more, but is it really actually tackling inequality, for the poorest to have the smallest net gain in the program?

>[T]he committees are gravely concerned that the problems stemming from Dallas' use of the nuisance laws are the result of a unique and incorrect interpretation of those laws by city officials -- wrongly taking the laws to mean that fighting crime is no longer the city's responsibility but has instead now become primarily the responsibility of private citizens and businesses; and that private citizens can be held strictly liable for crimes that take place on or near their property even when they are not involved in that crime, have taken affirmative steps to prevent the crime, are themselves victims of that crime, and have reported the crime, requesting the assistance of law enforcement agencies.

I strongly recommend relocating your business.
Yes, a YYYY-MM-DD format palindrome date that is also a palindrome in DD-MM-YYYY and MM-DD-YYYY formats cannot have more than two distinct digits.

Let us represent the 8 digits of such a date (in YYYY-MM-DD format) as abcd-ef-gh.

Since abcd-ef-gh (i.e., YYYY-MM-DD format) is a palindrome, we get a = h, b = g, c = f, and d = e.

Since ef-gh-abcd (i.e., MM-DD-YYYY format) is a palindrome, we get a = h, b = g, c = f, and d = e.

Since gh-ef-abcd (i.e., DD-MM-YYYY format) is a palindrome, we get a = f, b = e, c = h, and d = g.

Combining all of these, we get a = c = f = h and b = d = e = g.

Therefore, such a date must be of the format abab-ba-ba, i.e., it may have a maximum of only two distinct digits.

Clothes become microfibre pollution in the sea
This argument comes up all the time, and the answer is that big-O notation is very general, and only makes sense relative to a particular computation model. For example, you may describe a sorting algorithm's complexity by counting the number of comparisons, abstracting away details like memory caching or arbitrarily-sized elements. So it's perfectly reasonable for the original author to call arithmeticSum constant time, assuming that the numbers are bounded, and it's also perfectly reasonable for other researchers to say that multiplication is O(n log n), without that assumption.

This (and other forms of return) is the motivation for the investor to put up the initial capital.

I feel the same way as you. It seems like "economic growth" is being used to justify ignoring other societal issues. For example, you can pretty regularly see people on this site saying that retired people should be forced to relocate out of SV because they aren't contributing to economic growth as much as a high density apartment building filled with recent STEM grads would. Having everything focused so much on growing makes it feel like I'm stuck on a runaway train, where I'm forced to either spend most of my life trying to feed the "economic growth" engines, or risk dropping into poverty if I live a simple life how I actually want to.
I'm in a small niche, which is likely too small for VC funding. That said, it's something I worry about all the time: getting a competitor who can burn cash for several years and not worry about sustainability is my nightmare.

I agree that VC funding makes it difficult to charge reasonable fees. It hurts everyone: both businesses and customers in the long term.

I would not mix a discussion of SaaS into this. I personally believe that subscriptions are the only sustainable way to develop and maintain software these days. "Buying" software, "owning" it forever and using it on rapidly changing operating systems and environments is fiction.

First, the price for a plain old cup of coffee at Starbucks differs from region to region, but it usually normalizes at around $1.80 (taxes included). Refills are $0.52. While, yes, Starbucks’s coffee-based offerings (like lattes) are more expensive, coffee from Starbucks is quite cheap and VERY consistent (and cheaper than at a mom and pop coffee shop).

Second, there is more value from that cup of Starbucks coffee than the coffee itself: the space, the music, the Wi-Fi, etc. Products that make this comparison usually don’t offer the same value proposition.
>On Wednesday, the Dallas City Council passed a "nuisance abatement" ordinance allowing Police Chief U. Renee Hall to identify properties that tolerate criminal activity and try to get the owners to address it.

A carwash shut down because it "attracted the criminal element." Not likely the proximate cause, if the owner made such an effort to run them off.

Ignoring personal rights and the legal responsibilities (or lack thereof) of the police, as a matter of public policy, this just seems to be backwards thinking.

This policy will just make poor and crime ridden areas even less attractive for commercial investment, and even more poor and crime ridden.
