Shuttle buses are well and good but few if any of the cities around LA have them. They also don't go deep into sprawling housing tracks so there's still issues of first/last mile of a commute. Where they're available they're not available in an effective volume.

I'm not saying LA should be this way, it just is this way. The suburban sprawl makes most of Southern California a shit show for public transit. Cities with effective public transit tend to have higher population densities at least more concentrated commercial areas. In SoCal (tired of typing it out) places where jobs are located are distributed all throughout the sprawl. There's no real "downtown" where all the jobs are located.

It also doesn't help that due to earthquake and fire codes it's rare to see mixed zoning in much of California. So few neighborhoods with ground floor commercial/retail and upper floor residential zoning.
It's a false dichotomy. The options are not 'nuclear or climate change'. You also have numerous renewables and (almost always entirely ignored in these discussions) reduction of energy demand.
As far as ads go, this was the most convincing sell I've seen for a high end computer in a long time. Good job to whoever is doing the marketing.
And that's what distinguishes a Googler walking out from most walkouts: Google still struggles to hire fast enough to fill open roles.
Android is not a "business model". It does not need to make money by itself to be justifiable. All Android needs to do for Google is to help them to commoditize their complements*

Killing Android is not going to stop Google from collecting data much like Facebook still collects data from people who install Instagram/FB on their oh-so-pricy iPhones.

If what you really want is to ask for regulation to stop data collection from the companies, be my guest. But advocating the destruction of one of the largest software ecosystems which is (mostly still) based on F/OSS is cutting off the noise to spite the face.

The thing is, the people blaming others also tend to strongly oppose collective action solutions.

Eg a carbon tax is better than individual action. And if combined with an international effort to apply it to imports, it would be even more effective.

But the people in question tend to say “oh, it could never be done. Others would oppose. [let’s do nothing]”
Interestingly, China wins over North America and Europe on both metrics.
Ah, yes, expressjs, or as I like to call it, "the mutation ecosystem," where who knows what middleware has mutated which object in which way, and whether any state has leaked or whether any assumptions about control flow will actually hold true. Where it's common to see callbacks, streams, Promises, generators, and async/await patterns all thrown together in a mishmash that requires continuous syntactical context-switching.

Honestly I'd rather develop in vanilla NodeJS where the approach is at least consistent, than in the Express ecosystem where sure your problems may have been solved 1000 different ways already but where none of them really fit what you want to do, and where there are many layers of hidden incompatibility that are going to require you to make adapters for each library anyway.

These shutdowns are largely political, not due to structural damage to the reactors from the earthquake. These reactors weren't shut down because there was fear the earthquake had damaged them, and calling them non-working is only accurate in that they aren't online and doing work - outside of issues from lack of use while shutdown, they are fully functional.

Fukushima was not properly built to withstand a tsunami of that magnitude. It withstood the earthquake proper just fine.
not just that.

Curious - why does it have "Rear Audio - 5 x Audio Jacks"?
Had to check. Lycos/tripod is still hosting a stupid website me and some friends made a bit after 2000 (2004?). The cost is probably none (some static files), but I'm impressed they haven't just removed it or lost it during all these years. Stagnant and probably no visitors other than us the weekend we made it.

Honestly if there is truth to this article it is reassuring. I've been scouring the darker corners of the internet obsessively for every seemingly reputable bit of data under the assumption that virtually anything official out of China could not be trusted.

This doctor is working on the absolute worst of cases and even they, it seems, have a high overall probability of survival. Also good to see some figures on the progression of the virus - 5-10 days of incubation, 1 week before symptoms either improve or worsen, then one more week before severe cases recover or die.

Regardless, we should all be paying attention to the quarantined cruise ships. In a few weeks or so we'll have much a more accurate mortality rate. I feel for those people but perhaps there is some comfort in knowing that their losses will not be without value.
They slowed down old phones to get people to upgrade to newer models. Since the battery life stayed the same, why would anyone think to replace the battery to improve performance? For a faster phone, the obvious solution for most would be to upgrade.

Sometimes, yes. This is common in sneakers. There are lots of limited releases that will retail for < $200, and then fetch thousands in the secondary sneaker market because of rarity.

Getting a new sneaker on drop day is almost impossible. Nike just pulled its inventory from Amazon. They really do make it hard to buy shoes, so they sell fewer, but for oh so much more.
they failed to find a good place for that search, but the feature, itself, is extremely valuable.

on the mac, for example, spotlight search is part of things i do on autopilot. that's how they should have presented that search functionality. a keyboard shortcut, big search field in the middle of the screen... cortana shouldn't have been the front focus here...

i still use it though. would be sad to see it go! i use it to see where stuff and settings that were obvious and easy to find before are now hidden.

Conventional wisdom is that student course evaluations are primarily driven by the grades that students expect to receive. There is strong pressure to give out easy grades. I overheard two professors who were teaching different sections of the same course, get into a shouting match over grades. One of them was up for tenure, and wanted to give easy grades. He was quite explicit about this.

Considering the massive over supply of labor, I’d say they could very easily replace that 20% several times over before they had any problems finding more engineers.
Just a guess, but 7.1 uses 4 stereo jacks, plus a line in.
It's interesting how the word-root crypto (meaning "hidden" or "secret") is used as a prefix to mean "cryptographic", but when used alone it's supposed to somehow mean currencies, as if there were some part of the word-root "crypto" that is related to currencies.

If "cryptocurrency" is too long, can't one say "currency"? It seems more correct.
Gotta love this "some yet-existing technology will solve all our problems!" mindset.. /s

Might as well have faith in Jesus at this point, if you're just going to pray to non-existant future tech.

E.g. I think a lot people have prayed for a solution to solve problems like aging, but several millennia of civilization, and we're still aging and dying.
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I heard about work life balance there; in a way seems similar to Australia so that's good.

What about inclusion? You and your family feel like you're part of the community in a way? Not much racism/discrimination because you're a foreigner?
Linux desktop is great in 2020, especially if you buy the right hardware with solid support, the experience is totally smooth and super-high performance with stuff like ArchLinux.

Boots up immediatley, no annoying MacOS updates or having to install XCode while having multiple versions of core unix packages, because it pre-installs a bunch of out-of-date ones you replace immediately with brew. This causes problems, especially for newbies new to working with terminals, as it falls back onto the old ones when stuff isn't linked or set up properly.

Nothing beats having a clean minimal /usr directory with only the stuff you decide to install and extremely fast startups with good battery use.

I get Macbooks for work but use a Linux one on the side
(which I used for 5+ yrs when I was working freelance) and I plan to convince my boss to let me get a thinkpad or dell for the next laptop update.
I agree with the others, but I think we should note that these sorts of illness are not divided neatly into two categories, cold and flu. Besides the many different viruses grouped under "the common cold", there is a whole spectrum of bacterial infections whose symptoms look similar to, and interpolate between, the cold and flu. So there are other things someone could get that are like less severe version of the flu, but are worse than a common cold, and it's hard to distinguish without a formal test.
Impressive results! Few questions though:-

1) Do you use sliding window approach or exponential decay?

2) When you say groups of similar edges, do they have to be spatially close to each other? or can they be equally distributed in the graph?

3) Can an attacker figure out the optimum time difference between his attacks such that MIDAS doesn't detect it as an anomaly? The time gap is just sufficient enough for the algorithm to weed out the potentially malicious micro-cluster as obsolete.

Seems like an interesting extension to your work. Best of luck!
He's the expert, and I'm not. But I can do math. Influenza this year in the US: 19M infected and 10K fatalities. If you posit 1% mortality rate for coronavirus like he argues, that's 20 times more deadly. And it's twice that in China, it's unclear if that's a statistical anomaly or a structural feature of some difference in how things are tested/reported in China.

So I'm not going to just shrug and say it's no big deal. It could be. I'm a programmer, I know powers of 2 intimately. We're at 2^15 and doubling every 5 days. If that keeps up for a month we'll be at 1M infected and 16K dead. From there it's another 50 days to 1B infected and 1-2M dead. I'm keeping an eye on that, if it doesn't slow down before 2^20 (1M) then I've already planned to bug out with my loved ones to the mountains of Panama for a couple months until this blows over.

I think it won't come to that, but I'm keeping an eye on the progression and doubling rate. The thing with exponential growth is it always ends. The question here is does it end in time?
Maybe California mandates the delay to discourage gas consumption...

I once heard it explained that every sales transaction is a competition in which the winner is the one that walks away with the cash.

There are obvious limits to this, but i like the idea of it. That's what sales and marketing has become (not necessarily what it always was).

Depending on the competitive spirit of the children, this could be a way of framing consumerism that makes them reconsider, or at least pause.

My impression is that pieces are still in place (the CFPB still exists, the Volker rule still holds for now: https://www.msn.com/en-us/finance/markets/wall-street-ventur... ) but that it's been slowly undone over the years.
‘Lowball intelligence’ I am going to assume that was directed towards me. I posted this link. Because I have a ‘farm’ suffix instead of ‘GitHub’ suffix with handle.

> Take it from a reformed cynic

So one extreme to another?

> you will grow so much more from trying to figure out what's right about someone's argument rather than what's wrong.

Isn't this how we get flat earthers, anti-vaxxers, religious zealots, etc? They focus on "what's right" rather than looking at "what's wrong"? Don't cult leaders or tyrants encourage people to do the same. Look at what's right about my leadership rather than what's wrong?

> The key insight in the article is: For many skills, becoming highly proficient is easier than most people realize.

Maybe I'd agree with "becoming proficient" is easier than most people realize. I'm not so sure about "highly proficient". But then again, that's a subjective rather than an objective characteristic.

> Keep the "ridiculable" posts coming Dan!

The Levine fan club is going to be jealous.
They are highly custom shoes for highly competitive athletes and for them to meet regulations they need to be sold (or available at least, as I understand) to the public. Marketing such items, that probably have a very limited usable lifespan, as well as being fairly custom fit, wouldn't make sense to market and sell to the general public. Nike make their real money through said athletes winning major events and the additional value it then adds to their overall brand.

As an aside, the most expensive Nike's sold are the ones they make the least of.

> How did you make the switch to game dev?

I've always had gamedev as a goal, and since 2012 participated in "game jams", which are basically make-a-game hackathons; as well as making free web games/prototypes. The industry is very portfolio-focused.

Mostly did webdev as a way of supporting myself until I got a gamedev job (but I like doing webdev too). I currently work at a company that makes corporate/educational games, but am collecting more experience to be more competitive on the actual entertainment industry. Which is a bit more challenging given I'm based in Brazil.

That being said, it's much easier to "switch careers" when you're 22 and it barely started!
Ahh, bringing me back! I moved my site between GeoCities, Tripod, and AngelFire all the time back in the day...
Look up the "Moon Machines" documentary series - it's great storytelling with amazing B-roll. The GNC episode has stuff about the core rope, and the "first stage" episode had the story of the surfers who worked on the tanks.
My favorite things about Angular were it's choice to use TypeScript, RxJS for state, CSS-in-JS-like, and Dependency Injection. I'm glad I learned Angular to be exposed to all those choices.

My favorite things about React were JSX and FP.

Seems like you've found a good way to have it all.
And I'm sure getting to hear the 454 is worth something...
CPython hashes are intentionally non-deterministic, so even the same exact Python install will produce different hash orderings on the same code, if you run it twice (although you can make it deterministic by using PYTHONHASHSEED).
People that talk this way about the flu most likely have not had the flu, or at least not a “full flu”. I came down with it in a year when the flu shot was particularly ineffective and that was enough to end any deliberation with the flu shot for me ever again.

That's a very charitable read of GP's remarks. Kudos for the generosity, but I didn't get the same impression from the statements and the context. The phrases GP is repeating aren't novel; they're repeated time and time again in any messageboard discussion that ever touches on a missing feature in FreeBSD. You could say FreeBSD is missing SATA support (just for example; it isn't really) and someone would chime in with "FreeBSD isn't trying to be all things..."

As far as laptops, it all tends to be a bit specific to the model. There aren't too many different wifi chipsets these days; bluetooth is pretty simple from the software side of things. Power management and lid suspend work on most systems (as they say, resume is the hard part). Brightness controls should also work well. I don't know about fingerprint readers. Recently we landed Thinkpad PrivacyGuard support from software, for example. It's not particularly significant in isolation, just as an example of random modern laptop features that might exist in only a handful of models, which we still try to support in FreeBSD.
Very good point and wise. I find this more applicable as a leader when reviewing designs. It's so easy to poke holes and complain, but it is hard to find the good and value that. It is worth it because I can then focus my comments on what is essential and then drive accountability to get all the details done well enough.

No, that was 8K over HDMI. 8K over two DisplayPort cables, as the only 8K monitor currently available (the UP3218K) requires, is still broken.
I definitely roll my eyes when people say that on Windows everything "just works".

I have to fix (or just deal with the fact that I cannot do anything about it) just as many things that break or go wrong with Windows as I do with Linux.

Hacking around with the registry is just that. A hack job to roughly get Windows to behave until the next update breaks it.

At least on Linux you have the whole system open to you and can roll back changes or apply patches with much more control.
Ideally you sit board-straight with your spine stacked on itself, constantly micro-adjusting to keep you centered. Slouching actually came about as a young person trend (I think in the '20s?) that made sitting up straight seem stiff and uncool.

I wouldn't describe this as "pretty good", or even "good" or even "worth the time I spent this last 90 seconds".
This is not for end users. COmpanies usually don't expect you to build your system: they want to order something all configured. And the offering for AMD in big shops is still lacking (last i checked Lenovo's workstations were still mainly equipped with Xeons).

> Perhaps most awful of all, are the actual-in-the-plastic-flesh "loot crate" type toys that I see at target. They're literally opaque, mystery containers that let you know all the different things you could get from it.

Variable reinforcement works. Collectible card games (all the way back to MtG in the 90's) and MMORPG PvE grinding use the same mechanism. The only way to combat it (positively) that I can think of is to offer something even more appealing, which for a parent is either impractical or unsustainable.

From a parental perspective, is there a way to combat all the advertising and variable reinforcement products other than counter-conditioning those things with aversives?

And aversives have to be carefully set up to be associated only to the toy or loot box or game, and not associated to you (which would be very bad).

Two things that came to mind were delivering bad news (not something you just made up on the spot) right when the loot box or toy is opened; or, perhaps, sabotaging the toy, if it's a present, by adding something the child is afraid of, like a centipede or tarantula, not long before they open it... but I'm not sure the sabotage is easy to do without risking it being associated with other things (like you, for putting the fear-inducing thing in the box).
Oddly enough, I feel that climbing shoe design has slowed down. I bought my first Solutions in 2007 and haven't upgraded since. They still seem to be one of the top shoes on the market (although I hear good things about the Drago). As a matter of fact, the last climbing shoes I bought were the Miura VS, which I'm pretty sure is even older than the Solution!

The latest shoe from La Sportiva (I think it's the Theory) is designed for indoor / competition use, and basically has changes in design to cater for common materials and shapes of holds used in modern competition. It's not really an evolution of climbing shoe design, more a specialization.
