Larger feet are a genetic advantage for swimming but are in no way required.

Like most other sports there is a body type that is advantaged in swimming.

- Tall overall height (max speed is limited by length at water line just like boats)

- Lower than usual ratio for torso length to leg length

- Large feet

- Long arms (positive ape index)

- Large hands

Michael Phelps is a perfect example of this.
I am a Quora Parner myself but I never took it seriously. I have 680 answers and only 84 questions. I mostly use it to find genuine advice when I need an answer fast. That being said, I have never had a good experience with their moderation team. I honestly feel like the site is run by a bunch of crooks but I have no evidence to support that. That's just my opinion formed over the past few years of operating on the site and the occasional run ins with their moderation team.
I think it unlocks at 500 total karma, although that number has changed a few times and I'm not sure if it's current. Looks like you're still at 330.
It's different, NVCC emits C code, then invokes a version of GCC on that code for the local system.

NextStep was trying to link a new frontend at the same level as C, C++, or Fortran, and just give the middle finger to the terms of the GPL.
Hmm ... I can't scam you out of free content any more but the image of your signature at the bottom of your blog post is going to be very useful when emptying your bank account.

I agree with jdm2212. This was not a well thought out article. The ultimate purpose of marriage is to provide a stable environment for raising children. The fact that she mentions being married reduces her after-work beers is the point which zooms right over her head.
Canadian here, it's pretty much the same. All of our political parties are quite bland and effectively different flavours of centrism. Trudeau was re-elected last year despite failing to meet some major campaign promises - most people didn't know or didn't care, and none of the other parties presented a viable candidate.

In the time I've been aware of and followed politics (~5 years) I can't recall a time when our country got angry enough about anything to take real action, besides the recent Wet'suwet'en anti-pipeline protests. Most political action in this country is carrying signs with snarky slogans down police cordoned and approved protest routes.
Good question. I think this varies a bit depending on how well organized you find the text(s) and how closely the course follows them. Definitely aha moments , but my final notes have a TOC also and are often easier to find things in, so fairly complete.

I guess I would say not complete enough for someone else new to learn from, but enough that having done the course you rarely need to go back to the text during it .
What exactly is stopping these farmers from just buying from another vendor like New Holland or Kubota? Every time I read this stuff, it's all about John Deere being the Apple of farm equipment, and there's almost nothing said about their competitors, almost as if they don't exist.

I feel like I see the same thing when people I know complain about Apple: if I try to suggest they switch to Android because it doesn't have those problems, they look at me like I have a 3rd arm. I really wonder how much of this problem with farmers being unable to repair their own equipment is self-inflicted, by absolutely refusing to buy from a different vendor.
The best advertising I have ever found is in the Overcast podcast app. I’ve found a few interesting podcasts based on the ads. Marco Arment (the developer) created his own ad platform for his app so he would know who is advertising and he wouldn’t have any mystery meet third party binary blob in his code.
> In my opinion, enterprise pricing is an absolute racket.

That's one way of looking at it I guess. The other way of looking at it is that every company that doesn't charge each customer exactly what they can pay rather than something possibly less, is leaving money on the table.
> That's a mischaracterization of most C code written by professionals

I've been a professional programmer for 40 years, much of that in C. I've seen a lot of code, some of it in production in critical systems for many years. It is not a mischaracterization, it is a description of the state of the art.

split -n4 : split file into 4 chunks
ls : view what we created
rm : remove the original input file
cat : join the files back together

There are a number of people on Quora who post very high quality answers. There area a lot of people who post very entertaining but not necessarily authoritative answers. And then there's tons and tons of junk.

And while the good answers seem to get upvoted a lot (the ones I see at least, but that's an obvious case of selection bias if there ever was one), but plenty of terrible or even wrong answers seem to get upvoted a lot too.

Saying 'everything has outages' is kind of disingenuous. There are many computer systems in the world today that can be considered to have practically perfect up-time. Mainframes have uptime measured in decades. I realize the concept of 1 gigantic iron box in a heavily-fortified installation with 2N+1 redundancies throughout is still not enough to ensure 100% uptime. But, when is the last time you swiped your credit card and had a failure to process the transaction?
>I still think having a relationship with a financial advisor you trust is better than taking advice from strangers on the internet.

What financial advisor is going to be able to make a living telling people to buy and hold a target date retirement fund from Vanguard/Fidelity/Schwab?

It's all pretty common sense advice, that hopefully one can verify is correct with some basic arithmetic. And advice for 90% of people should be spend time and energy to figure out how to increase income.
No, they wouldn’t dominate.

You can find online legal guesswork and forms for free. $300/mo is too expensive for that.

But getting someone with experience to stand behind it - to risk their license, insurance, and future income — is north of $300/hr even in suburbs and flyover country.

Thanks. I used ANT design a couple of years ago and it was good. I work on enterprise apps and material design just wasn't suitable.

Good points. Note that you could make the same comparison with offshore wind farms, which have similar nameplate capacities at much lower cost per watt, run at about 60% of nameplate over time, and are, unlike nuclear reactors, actually being deployed now and in the near future.
I understand your feeling, that's my biggest gripe too. Making cards is chore, with lots of copy-pasting and editing, sometimes even image editing. As time goes it also gets more and more disconnected from the context; I sometimes as myself, why did I even want to learn this?

Have you tried premade decks? What was your experience with those?

I would expect so as well.

Most Wave pools are at resorts/water parks which typically do not necessarily even employ fully trained/high skill lifeguards.

They often rely on private certification programs that will train "shallow water lifeguards" who do not have to have a full set of swimming & rescue skills. They do tend to have good training for spinal injuries though.

Add in that these resorts are most attractive to non-swimmers and they are hopelessly crowded and it is a dangerous mix.

Places like Great Wolf Lodge scare the daylights out of me as a former lifeguard/WSI.
My intuition comes from other uses of "rare" and "very rare" in medical fields.

"In Europe a disease or disorder is defined as rare when it affects less than 1 in 2000 citizens." [1]

""" In the United States, the Rare Diseases Act of 2002 defines rare disease strictly according to prevalence, specifically "any disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 people in the United States", or about 1 in 1,500 people. This definition is essentially the same as that of the Orphan Drug Act of 1983, a federal law that was written to encourage research into rare diseases and possible cures.

In Japan, the legal definition of a rare disease is one that affects fewer than 50,000 patients in Japan, or about 1 in 2,500 people.

However, the European Commission on Public Health defines rare diseases as "life-threatening or chronically debilitating diseases which are of such low prevalence that special combined efforts are needed to address them". The term low prevalence is later defined as generally meaning fewer than 1 in 2,000 people. Diseases that are statistically rare, but not also life-threatening, chronically debilitating, or inadequately treated, are excluded from their definition. """

Financial literacy is pure garlic to every common vampire financial advisor.

I have a couple friends right now that do not want wage raises because "it will knock them into the next tax bracket". Believe me, I've tried to explain how the simple concept of income and taxes work.

I trusted my financial advisor years ago when I started my career. It took me a couple years to realize I was the product, not his client with his best interest in mind. Strangers, especially from more disciplined subs and without skin in the (your own) game, have been more valuable many, many times over.

Everyone who takes what is said literally and in verbatim would be a fool. Validate what is said as it applies within your own context.
All you said just means you are isolated from user's feedback or live in some sort of echo chamber. I would never believe that everyone is satisfied, you can never have 100% satisfaction, there will always be users complaining about any part of UI really just because they had a bad day.

Reddit has a lot of city-specific forums. Some are ghost-towns though, while the bigger cities tend to be a bit more hostile to post that aren't photos or links to news articles. But some have sister-forums like r/AskTO for posts like that.
I learned to swim using a float shaped like a miniature surfboard that I held out in front of me. This was both supervised and done in water shallow enough that I could stand with my head above the surface. If I had not been allowed access to this I am certain that I would have refused to go in the water at all (I was already very reluctant to do so even with the float).
I parsed that on first read as "no (arms or legs)" instead of "(no arms) || (no legs)" and was very surprised!
I came to exactly the same conclusion after having Neo4j pushed on a project by managers who'd been sold by their "it's great for everything!" marketing. At least as of ~2 years ago, no, it wasn't. Fine for a narrow set of query types for data of a very specific kind of shape (dense graph) that you don't care about much and can re-generate if it gets screwed up. Unsuitable as a "database of record" (poor integrity enforcement, transactions very limited) and quite bad (slow, awkward) at a lot of things one might want to do with it, even kinda "graphy" things, that didn't happen to fall in its strengths. Memory hog, too. Seems like most graph databases, though possibly better at some of those things, will tend to be similar, since they have to make trade offs to achieve notably good performance at whatever they're benchmarking to put on their marketing pages.

Cypher was really nice, though.

Exactly. Letting people know you have a product/service which will make their life easier isn't a bad thing, and you have to have some way of communicating that to prospective buyers. The problem is when you start lying about your product, or use psychological tricks to get people to buy something they don't need.
> Eco Wave Power now intends to scale up the technology by installing more units to provide 5 MW of electricity.

The 100kW station was a proof of concept. Like, obviously 5MW is still a long was from 1GW, but it does change the math from 10,000x to 200x, which feels a bit more reasonable.

As long as you define “discussion” as “I just saw this suspicious looking Black guy breaking into someone’s house. He opened someone’s garage using a garage door opener and unlocked the door using their key. He must have murdered the owner, stole the car, and taken their keys.”
This is a great response. When I was a Water Safety Instructor I spent part of my time teaching at a special inner city program that was designed to try and counteract the disadvantages you are discussing.

Another place I worked was in a very privileged town at a very large country club. They did a lot of corporate events where the pool was hired out by a company for their party. We would never get through corporate events without multiple rescues if the company had a lot of employees who lived in the city without access to pools & swim lessons.

How do I propose a language change? One thing I'd really like to see is optional type declarations in Lambdas to bulletproof them. Take this simple Lambda

List<String> names = new ArrayList<>();
names.stream().filter(String name -> "Bob Vance".equals(name)).findFirst().get();

By adding the String type declaration, a whole host of bugs in really complicated Lambdas can be eliminated and found easier when the original types and lists are being shuffled around
These companies are also actively pushing "Renting" as a business model where the farmer only rents the tractor for the season. Any maintenance and repairs are done as part of the rental and at the end of the season, the tractor goes back. This completely cuts the farmer out of the equation in terms of ownership/repair.

I disagree with your last paragraph but wholeheartedly agree with he first 2. One of the things that bothers me about the advice given there is a seemingly irrational aversion to bankruptcy or walking away from a debt. Sometimes that’s the financially wise option.
Indeed.

You have more chances of succeeding at anything if it's something you care about. You will understand the domain better. You will inspire others (customers, investors, coworkers, etc). You will go the extra mile.
If credit cards don't work for you, check out Dave Ramsay, he has a very low tolerance for debt.

That being said, if you can handle credit cards, not using them is just leaving money on the table. I get 2% back everywhere (more in certain categories), which is better than most high interest savings accounts. If you don't get that 2% back, you're still paying the interchange fees (~3%) for other people because stores don't charge a different amount for cash/debit vs credit.

However, getting 2% (or more) back isn't worth it if you end up spending more money. The emphasis should be on changing spending behavior, not on payment optimization

My wife isn't very good at saving, so our solution is that I review our spending periodically and we discuss anything over $50 that isn't routine spending (e.g. grocery stores), and we each get $X/month for guilt-free spending. She tends to spend it as she "earns" it, while I save up month to month until there's a good deal so I get more value, add I occasionally treat her if she's run out of cash and has a craving.
Is the job of a company of 100 developers for 100 developers to grind out features in a silo? Or for them to collaborate and create something greater than any one can?

I am not saying WFH cannot work. I did a year solo when starting my startup. But I have been a part of a lot of full remote teams, and I did not want to run my team like that.

Most developers claim WFH is better and companies win if they do it. Cool. So the market should prove out that the companies that do WFH would win over the companies that require butt in office.

So far I do not see this result. For the same reason outsourcing doesn't work great for innovation, WFH is real real hard to innovate.

Totally prove me wrong though. Start your own company, work remote, and kill it. I love the idea. It's great for the environment. It's just not how I choose to run my company, nor do I see many other highly successful companies doing it. (Allow WFH once in a while, sure. But apply to Google and ask if you can work 100% remote).

Dunno about the US, but in the UK there are a few wage points where a small rise can lead to a reduction in net income. Specifically moving into the higher tax bracket, which removes £200 off their personal allowance if they were using the pooling allowance option -- i.e. a £100 tax rise could lead to £46 extra income but £201 extra outgoing, a net reduction of £155

There are more perverse options with housing, childcare and income benefits being removed which I believe can lead to a negative income.

In the US the Benefit Cliff is real:

"There is this issue of the benefits cliffs, where some programs are designed so just a very marginal increase in earnings can result in a loss of a very important benefit. And a lot of states, unfortunately, have structured their childcare subsidies programs that way," explains Skinner.

"Typically, pay rises, income rises, but at some point you lose eligibility for a subsidies all together and it's an abrupt reduction in that family's resources," Skinner says.
