A Brave user can choose to see regular web ads and allow for 3rd party tracking.

Or they can choose block 3rd party ads and tracking scripts and opt-in to seeing ads they are more likely to be interested in and get paid a percentage to do so.

Chrome—and by extension Google—does not give you that choice and certainly doesn't share any of the ad revenue with web users.
f# has diverged away from ocaml enough that the small fact that a tiny subset of it is compatible with ocaml is just a trivia fact.
Website still says they're hiring. They signal robust growth, you pay for it in wasted time. I wonder how many jobs I've applied for have been like that.
I've built the early version of our platform atop Firebase and I agree, it's a great acquisition by Google.

Integrated authentication, deployment, database and file-serving.

I do have concerns about being closely tied to Firebase (mainly for cost reasons down the road - just eyeballing the pricing, it seems things can escalate very quickly). I agree that an open-source hosting alternative would be amazing (though that would obviously chip away at some of the "plug-and-play" benefits).

From a technical perspective, though it's fantastic.
Do you have research links? Or this is just internet enecdata?

Given trade imbalance you could impose carbon tax on Chinese imports.
I agree with the parent comment - pen and paper should suffice.

Standardized testing has nothing to do with the medium used.

There is also no point in teaching an 8 year old the tools used in today's digital economy. Not only will today's tools be obsolete by the time they're 18, the kids would've picked up all the required tech skills by just playing video games and figuring out ways to watch movies for free and what not.

On the other hand, writing, sketching, craft works and sports will help develop motor skills as a child grows and hopefully lead to a healthier life that isn't addicted to a screen all the time.
While I appreciate the attempt, I have some suspicion that none of these quarantine efforts, China included, will look particularly effective when we look back on the event in a year or two.

I get the distinct feeling that many of these efforts are more about reassuring the public, than any real confidence that they can limit the spread.
Possible, but I don't think he'd remain as chairman and finish out his contract if that were the case. When Lasseter was in that position, as beloved as he was at the time, they didn't hesitate to cut all ties. I think it's something else. Then again, I could be wrong.

Shitcoins require public, and trackable, ledgers, so you literally cannot say 'uses shitcoin' and 'tracker-free internet' in the same sentence.
Similar level of interest and tracking, and I thought the same about CCP and their ability to enforce order, but this [1] gives an interesting counter argument, with an interesting hypothesis [2] below:

> Tufekci argues that one of the second order effects of a surveillance society is that people act strategically to minimise the chance of punishment - and so their behaviour (and the data it generates) ceases to be a good guide for policy. If there’s a strong incentive to suppress bad news, you won’t hear bad news, even when you need to.

I disagree. Maybe you'll remember it not as well if you don't do exercises, but there is no reason you can't learn from a blogpost (which is trivial to prove since you can just copy-paste the contents of a book in the form of one or more blogposts).
You can't have quality and quantity. Been a trope forever for a reason.

Thank you.

It's not obvious to people how rapidly that unravels when you don't have routine access to normal middle class stuff. It's part of why I blog. A lot of what I experienced wasn't anything I could have ever predicted.

I found that after I was able to arrange one night a month in a hotel, it became vastly easier to pass for normal.

I got showered. I got a break from life on the street. I watched a little TV, something not available while sleeping in a tent and which is a common source of small talk for most people.

I went more than two years without a proper shower. My first hotel stay took two showers to get the dead skin off.

After that, I stayed occasionally in a hotel, but not once a month. I took baths instead of showers to soak the dead skin off. A shower wasn't enough.

But with monthly hotel stays, I no longer needed to soak the dead skin off. My feet stopped turning black. Cleaning up at sinks in public bathrooms in the weeks in between did a lot more for me than it did when it was all I had access to.

And I absolutely would not have ever sat down and tried to dream up "How many days a month do I need to be in a hotel to pass for normal?" This isn't a thought experiment that would have even occurred to me to try to pursue.

I only know this stuff because I lived it and that's how it went down, not because I would have ever in a million years tried to figure out "How many showers a month do I need to make cleaning up in sinks sufficient most of the time?"

> How much energy will you need?

A lot.

Air compression is not cheap, energetically. Chilling is also energetically expensive. You'll need to do both. This would be pretty much the "brute force" method, like O(n!) in software engineering. The concept would be to bring half the planet's atmosphere down to near its liquid temperature. Currently in most US homes, Air Conditioning (air cooling) contributes the majority of each home's energy use. This would be much greater than that, it requires chilling air to -140 °C to get CO2 to "drop out".

In contrast, seeding the ocean with iron would be fairly close to O(1). However, potential side effects of this process concern some scientists greatly. Googling 'Russ George' may provide more insight.

Side note: The press material for sesinnovation also says the outlet stream is nearly 100% nitrogen...that means they're using a stream which already has oxygen removed from it (likely because the air was just used for combusting fuels). Air is roughly 21% oxygen so you can't take air, only remove CO2, and get 100% nitrogen out. Generally these "Carbon Capture" technologies only work on feed streams with high CO2. So hey're placed at industrial outlets, where fuel/coal is being burned. These streams can be > 10% CO2. Often they don't work as well, or at all, on diffuse streams like 0.04% atmospheric CO2. The technical reasons why this is the case deal with "partial pressures" as well as general entropy.
I get you.

Since I moved exclusively to i3 some 10 years ago, I find myself seldomly using screen/tmux anymore.

The splitting, moving and switching of windows is just more convenient.
Tmux has been relegated to start long running processes on remote servers, and remote pair programming sessions.

I could see myself using tmux more if I could find a way to get a more seemless experience when having to scroll panes, copy/paste, handle $TERM properly with vim (I always end up with partially refreshing vim colors under tmux), etc
I believe you miss some crucial information in your argument. An administration which controls tightly a population must appear to be correct. The administration must make the perception its plans are infallible.

It is the perception that the administration’s plans and officials are infallible that it is after. Not the actual actions.

An administration which can confront when its officials can do wrong, which can act on errors instead of hiding them can do well. The perception of its actions take effort and steps to explain.

The reference on such institutions is outside the scope of the current comment. When I started writing, I realised it has to be a very long.

But my opinion is that democratic countries will do well. We might hear more, but their problems will be less. I used to live in an authoritative nation, so there is a difference between the information and the common communication on problems.

Check Hayeks’ writings to see how such communication becomes controlled by marketing ‘authoritative plans’

I think it's likely that "may need someone else's permission" refers to things like waivers for using a person's likeness, or so-called moral rights. These are not usually included in the bucket of things most people call "intellectual property". It's more like, if I have a picture of a person and use it to sell something, some people may conclude that the person is endorsing that good. There are many countries that have separate laws concerning what you can and can't do with images specifically.

Well it has clearly slowed the spread in China. You couldn't cover up an exponentially growing death rate forever. Of course, it might not prevent everyone getting infected in the long run, but there might still be hospital beds available for the worst cases if it is stretched out enough.
Latest Star Wars films focused on diversity of actors rather than the plot and storyline because the original Star Wars was all white and only one woman in it. Disney tries to appease the SJWs in their films, not what the original fans want not what the children want and not what the average viewer wants. The same thing was tried in Ghostbusters and it was a flop as a reboot with all female Ghostbusters.

The Mandorian was a hit because it followed the original Star Wars plot and storyline. It didn't focus on diversity, and instead focused on a good story. So Disney can still do Star Wars right if they do what they did in the Mandorian.
> In my experience, the intuitive "experience of the knowledge" was much more striking than the eventual unfolding and application of the logic in that case.

In math applications doesn't matter, just the beauty of the revelation. Understanding how everything in math is connected is the main goal of the field, so understanding more of it is never pointless.

But if we talk about applications then it is that if A and B are the same then all theorems derived for A also works for B and vice versa. This is very important since it automatically multiplies our productivity and learning rate! One such epiphany which many falters on is that x and y doesn't matter, they could be z or µ or whatever. Another which many struggles with but usually overcomes is that 10 + 30 is just as easy to compute as 1 + 3.

"I don't think the London style congestion pricing is ideal, but what would be better?"

The infrastructure for the London Congestion Zone includes cameras at every entry/exit point. So the operators of the scheme can trivially know which vehicles are within the zone at any point in time. The size of each vehicle is known to the DVLA. With these pieces of information, it would be easy to implement a charge based on the amount of time spent in the zone, and the footprint of the vehicle.

The above may not be optimal, but it could be done with data that is already being collected. No need for additional infrastructure, except for changing some signage.
The particular example might be confusing because the same letter is used twice with different capitalization. There is no direct relation between them.

> Is A meant to be a function that accepts x?

Yes.

> If so, why is the equivalent expression a * x?

Because that how A(x) is defined.

>Is it supposed to be implied that function A also has some hidden value "a" that is going to be multiplied by the supplied value?

Yes, it's an unspecified constant (a, b, c... are used to denote constants by convention), so you can really calculate A(x) for supplied values of x yet until the constant 'a' is specified.

> Is this notation specific to multiplication, to this expression, or what?

No. Functions might be defined using any expression. For example

A(x) = b^x

is a valid function as well (again, we have an unspecified constant). Just don't expect to encounter it in an introductory course in linear algebra (since it would deal mostly with linear functions).
I was recently involved in my first "integration testing" project involving Selenium, Winium, and ssh (doing cross-platform testing of an installer).

One of the things that really struck me as I was reading through examples and such was how common it seems to be to have test code like "Click x; Wait 5 seconds; Click y; Type 'abc'; Click Z". My experience with unit testing tells me that as tests break 'randomly' (because something occasionally takes a few milliseconds too long to load) those delays get inserted, and eventually you end up with slow tests that are harder to maintain and still flaky.

In my project, we were installing on a variety of OSes and versions, and based on what dependencies had to be downloaded+installed it could take anywhere from a few seconds to a couple minutes. I ended up writing a lot of helper functions like `WaitForFile(filename, absoluteTimeout)` that basically run a retry loop, checking every couple seconds (to allow fast-as-possible pass/fail), but frankly was surprised that this was non-standard -- I kind of expected any "integration test assertion library" to be chock full of helpers like this.

I think there's a lot of ground to be covered in improving integration testing in general, and especially bringing in some more modern software design and engineering principles. Unit and integration tests are still code after all -- just because it doesn't ship with the product doesn't mean it shouldn't be maintained at the same quality.

Heres a document explaining things from 2017 issues by the Japanese government. I remember reading it a few days ago, interesting for the context: http://www.env.go.jp/en/policy/tax/20170130_greening.pdf

IMHO, the first step is to migrate coal power plants to capture and storage. It is much easier to drop emissions than to pull from the air. I would like to see more tax pressure globally incentivizing carbon release reductions. Instead you get weird stuff like Japan's carbon tax where coal pays the lowest carbon tax of gasoline and diesel.

Democratic socialism is not the same thing as social democracy (aka, what Scandinavians have).

Social democrats are staunch believers in liberal democratic polity and a capitalist-oriented economy, both of which are antithetical in _any_ socialist system, even democratic socialism.

American socialists will lie to you otherwise, or perhaps they just don't know.

Moreover, Bernie has half a century of history praising communism and kissing up to Marxist-Leninists whereas this softer, friendlier, more populist Bernie is less then a decade old and won't address his endorsements. I don't believe it for a second.
Some people have reported that taking 0.3mg melatonin five hours before desired bed time was helpful. Sort of imperfectly turned me from a 6AM-1PM sleep schedule to a 1AM-9AM, sometimes better, and when I stopped after a few months it was easier to stay closer to diurnal. But blue light filters (f.lux etc.), dimmable lights, and timed lighting were also necessary, and nothing is 100% sufficient.
in tmux a window can be in multiple sessions. but tmux also can switch between sessions easely as switching windows. if you want to connect to the same session multiple times, you need to either set that up, or you can create and use multiple sessions to the same effect.

having all windows in a single session synchronized is helpful when you share sessions with other users.
at least with what i have seen of program synthesis, you end up having to write such a specific specification that you are basically defining the implementation (i.e., programming).

dependently typed languages also seem woefully unprepared for real systems programming. they are probably good in the small but are so difficult in the large that the costs outweigh the benefits.
Agreed.

Lodged at "Secret Garden". They have tons of daily hikes and mountaneering trails that are bound to leave you ready to crash by 8pm. We are not big hikers, in fact we hike at most 3 times per year - but we found that the combination of peer pressure, adventure/adrenaline plus the need to do something kept us going on daily treks.

1-2 weeks of that and you could be forming a positive routine. At least you will be rested.

What your parent comment meant was that it is not possible to learn well from typical blog posts like this that try to condense the subject into a 3000 word article. Of course, if you copy-paste the content of a book into a blog post, then parent comment's point no longer applies.
Genetics are influential on this kind of cases. I am not an expert on this but it seems like the problem is how fast it spreads not the dead rates?
The real reason, I think, for quarantines is to buy time for preparations and spread out infections to prevent overwhelming the health system. PR is certainly important for government as well, but I don't think it is much for experts working in public health field that argue for much of the same.

I think all those trains, cars, carriages and people would’ve made a lot more noise than the audio mix suggests.
