These are going to seem a bit strange, as they don't go that far into history, but I found the really interesting in showing how projects grow and evolve over time.

The Design and Evolution of C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup: This book is quite old itself now, but it talks about the early days of C++, and does a good job of describing how we ended up with the language we did.

The Old New Thing, Practical Development Throughout the Evolution of Windows by Raymond Chen. You can also read lots of the parts of this book on Raymond's blog, of the same name. This book really gave me a lot more respect for Windows and Microsoft on a technical level, giving many small fun stories on how functionality evolves over time, and how sensible decisions cause pain 10 years later.

This sounds like a pretty convincing argument against laws that are extremely lopsided in favor of tenants. If you make renting out property an extremely high-risk proposition, of course property owners are going to prefer something less risky.
Thanks! Time-lapse & animation is on the to-do list :) Depends a little bit on the classifications of the spaceships but these are included in the data.

“The Great Empty”: Cities in the age of coronavirus
True.

I have a feeling, though, that after this, many people will be less willing to travel for meetings. Video conferences may be poor compared to walking to a conference room in the same building, but they may also compare favourably to travelling by airplane to a similar conference room in a similar faceless building in a different city. And many, many people are getting VC practice now.
"In computer science, big O notation is used to classify algorithms according to how their running time or space requirements grow as the input size grows" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_O_notation

It does not refer to the number of high-level execution frames, which appears to be what you measured.

Consider that in Python:

a = []
for i in range(500_000):
a.append(i)
a.reverse()

takes about 0.1 seconds, while

a = []
for i in range(500_000):
a.insert(0, i)

takes about a minute, to produce the same result. That's a factor of 600, even though the first one actually executes more Python code.

This is because the first uses an amortized O(N) method, while the second uses an O(N^2) method.

Hence, you need to measure run time, not the number of frames.

I don't need to try it out because you wrote "every possible set of values for the boolean variables will be in memory", which requires O(2^N) values for the worst case, which require O(2^N) for the CPU to touch each memory cell.

Also, try something with 10,000+ variables. Or one of the benchmark test sets from http://www.satcompetition.org/ .

if you live in the western US. we don't really have "snowpack" to begin with in the east, though I shudder to think of what an anomalously warm east coast summer will be like.
I'm tired of this story (1 above) frankly.

Have you been anywhere with lockdown as it was being ramped up? I don't know where those right thinking people are, but even after everything-except-the-stay-at-home order in WA (i.e. everything closed and a recommendation to stay home including freakin signs on the highway), everything that was open was extremely crowded, from the park near my home to any restaurant with takeout nearby benches or a park, to hiking trails. We went out, a trailhead was literally the most crowded I've seen it in my 8 years here by far (Little Si trail, the big overflow-overflow parking lot was almost full).
That is WITH lockdown and constant media fear mongering. Without lockdown it would be even (from my position) better.
I was working thoughout the week, but even with stay at home order and parking lots gated, someone told me there are tons of people on weekdays out on popular trails, parking on nearby roads and walking in, and I applaud this civil disobedience.
Right thinking people would go out and live their lives.

We also have a historical example of Spanish flu that did nothing to economy even in medium term.
Ha ha, interesting.

To this I'd add major color defects that Apple has introduced with their (long, long overdue) ability to select a non-inverse ("dark") color scheme. For example, the segmented control, which is basically a radio button: You never know how it's going to be shaded or whether it'll be legible. Colors you specify in Interface Builder or even code are largely ignored.

The date picker is even worse, for the same reason. I have to programmatically check to see if the user's in "dark" mode and un-hide a light-colored rectangle behind the thing to make it legible. WTF. Apple finally added a method to override the user's color-scheme choice, but it requires iOS 13 or later.

Oh yeah: iOS has no drop-down lists. Apple forces you to use their ever-more-hideous spinner-wheel controls. Again, these largely ignore font and color choices, and require a ridiculous amount to space to make them usable.

Layout constraints are, for a long while at first, a baffling aggravation. They default to stupid things and report incorrect issues. But once you learn what they're really bitching about, you can make them work pretty well. The most valuable thing I learned about layout: Don't position things using hard-coded constants. Always position things in relation to their superview with "center horizontally" and vertically, then offset them with the multiplier. Then line up sibling controls to each other.

You'd think Apple would somehow facilitate gracefully expanding your UI with screen size, but they don't. The above method is really the key to doing so.

Oh, and their amateur-hour hard-coded resolutions for graphic assets, with the hokey @2x, @3x nonsense in the filenames... that's embarrassing. And you can't just use SVGs, like you can on Android.

All the quibbles aside though... I find the iOS development environment pretty damned well-done. And I like Swift a lot. Even Xcode has come a long way since Project Builder. Going back to Visual Studio, which I loved, I now find it suffers from some of the same defects it did in the early '90s and in some ways falls short of Xcode.
I'm sure plumbers, nursing home workers, retail employees, carpenters and skilled trades, factory workers, and more will telecommute.

Do people not get that not everyone is a knowledge worker whose work is always done on a computer?
> It only works when you can do your job from home (aka not most jobs)

I don't think that really needs to be said.

> It also only works if you don't have kids, a partner or have a big enough home

I've been mostly working from home for several years now (maybe ~10), and I'm just as productive at home as in the office - definitely moreso during periods when there have been particularly loud and obnoxious employees working in the office.

I totally agree that you need to be able to isolate yourself from others in the home - you need a home office, where you can close the door and be in "work mode".

As long as you have a home office, it's actually a bonus if you have young kids and/or a spouse in the house, as you get to have lunch with them every day.

Not having to commute is a huge bonus, especially if you live far from the office. You save money, time, and even carbon emissions. You get extra time in bed, if you want it.

Even your employer potentially benefits, by not having to pay for office space (or at least reduced office space if they have hot desks).

But not everyone has space for even a small home office, and even then not everyone has the self-discipline to be in "work mode" while at home. And of course, some people are just really sociable, and enjoy that aspect of an office environment.

So it's definitely not for everyone, but it would be wonderful if more people were given the choice.
You’re at least giving the appearance of being very self-centered. It’s appalling.
Hum... It does really depend.

Honestly, for me right now, coming from HN into random places, no I don't have different standards. But in a course having a textbook recommendation, yes, the standards are very different.

Anyway, you are out on a tangent. The work should be judged based on its quality, and for all the dimensions quality has, the presentation format is not one that matters.
That is completely fair. I have little insight into the local issues. The country level issues are fairly easy to bypass with war level rules. From real level experience with Turkey, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, etc.
I think Elon has been talking about floating ground stations. Not sure if that is even viable. My best guess is that ships, at least ocean going ships, will stay with GEO operators for the time being.
It's not just you. One thing I noticed in the article is that the Dutch state's defense was that "the claims {should} be struck out given the time that had passed since the acts were committed."
Airbnb makes the problem 10-20% worse, but almost no cities are building net positive housing compared to their growth. People getting priced out will continue to happen with or without Airbnb, until cities take housing seriously and build more.

My observation is there's two major groups: people with kids who are now trying to work and watch children at same time. Childless young people for whom work is a big part of their social interactions. The "work" part of face to face interactions is a minority of most everyone's days, even in the best of cases.
Good old Boids! I implemented a clone of Boids in C as my senior project in high school. It included 3D wireframe graphics from scratch. My teacher said it was "A nice screensaver".
From a US perspective: yes. In the US the compensation is also used as a punishment for the culprit (so e.g. larger companies pay more). I dont know about the dutch system, but in germany they just compensate the financial loss, so more like anual salary* years to retirement (maybe minus deduction of living cost for the deceiced).
From the numbers it looks like the Dutch system might je similiar.
One thing I think we'll definitely see is a reduction in the amount of apartments available for rent on AirBnB. I've seen reports that after lockdowns went into place in Portland OR and SF, that there were thousands of new units listed on proper real-estate websites for long-term lease. That tells me that landlords who were taking units off the housing market and using them for short-term rentals, might have fewer AirBnB units after this is all done. For a while at least I think AirBnB will be more of the "rent a spare room in our house" units again, rather than the entire apartment in a major city that's displacing a long-term resident.

How is it something only classists can use? I use Airbnb _because_ it is cheap, usually significantly cheaper than hotels when visiting cities. I use it to save money because I am cost conscious. A lot of lower-income friends also use Airbnb because of this very reason. It has been a lifesaver for us.
> declare what domains they'll access and otherwise get no other network access

So Facebook will just provide an SDK for app developers to integrate server-side that lets their app send the data to their own domain, and the server passes it on to FB. Developers will install it, because they want the analytics and ad conversion tracking. There probably isn't a great technical solution to this problem.
People show symptoms at 3 to 13 days. So, if the test is useful at 5+ days, then is should be fine for many/most sick people seeking treatment. Though yes, it would be very limited for prophylactic testing, as in testing all family/close contacts of a known infected person to see who might have caught the disease themselves.

Maemo Leste – Twelfth Update
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoiler_(car) a spoiler can reduce drag by changing the airflow around the car and reducing turbulence. A wing, like what the Daytona and the Superbird have is mostly for downforce to get more traction. But it can also help straightening the airflow after the car.

The turbulence after cars is one of the main reasons specially hatchbacks gets so dirty in the rear end and this turbulence create a drag on the car.

The article is of course wrong when not calling Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird for good looking, they are art and some of the best looking cars coming from America.

I'm actually having my first real WFH experience so far and I definitely appreciate getting an hour back from the commute. I'm eating a "weekend breakfast" every day of the week.

I'm mainly thinking of people who have kids and/or are accustomed to filling their post-work hours with sports, gym, or other activities. these people are viewing WFH as more of an imposition than a freedom.

Well, being professionally active in academia, I'm well aware of this issue and that particular debate. And you're right.

Open science and open access are important movements as to the relationship between publishers and academic research.

However, that debate doesn't negate my point as to citizen or data science.

For all the discussion about paywalls and the use of vernacular, the same timeless critical considerations need applying: who wrote the article? what is their background? are they a domain expert? where they did get their sources? how did they come to conclusions? is their method sound? are they asking relevant questions? etc. etc.

And I don't always see that happening online. On the contrary. The fluidity and the speed at which information flows online seems to be a justification to give in and accept what's being said at face value. The past few years should have made it clear that such indulgence can lead to dire consequences.

With powerful tools comes responsibility. Sure, it's great to see people apply free and open source tools to come to a new understanding of observations. But that's only half of the story: you still have to apply critical thinking to those conclusions. That's not something throwing more code or technical skills can achieve.

Having a proper, critical debate takes time and experience.
On Twitter, I tend my feed somewhat aggressively, following folks who post worthwhile stuff, unfollowing those who devolve or who drop below some signal-to-nose threshold.

On Usenet, there was always the killfile and thread branch pruning (although the dedicated could somehow just create a new id, I suppose).

My takeaway being that it should be possible (or easy, even) for a user to shape their experience.

How To Stay Productive, When You're Feeling Overwhelmed By Life
I've been successfully working from home for several years now, but there is zero chance I could be as productive while sat awkwardly on a towel in a park, in a noisy cafe, or on a hot, sandy beach.

I need fast and reliable internet access, a quiet working environment, a comfortable chair, a decent-sized desk at the right height for typing, and ideally multiple monitors.
The people responsible are probably all dead by now, given that the crimes occurred 73 years ago. The people were acting on orders of their government, so the only recourse now would be payment to the families of the victims. The payments seem to be exceptionally small to me.
