I have no idea how rich you'd have to be to do that. Like upper 1% I guess. I'm a software engineer and the only car I could afford to buy with cash would be like a 10 years old compact. Or maybe a new Dacia if I saved for a year.
So I know (not personally) this guy named Ian McCollum. He's kind of well known on youtube, filming/writing/presenting on a topic that is personally very interesting to him.

He graduated from Purdue with a degree in mechanical engineer. But he didn't want to settle with a 9 to 5 job and a normal life, just to pay his bills. So instead he earned some extra small pile of money after college and set up a low cost life style in Arizona, with off grid house etc. And now he doesn't have to spend life in 9 to 5 job but instead travels around filming/interviewing/presenting on a passion project of his.

So how did he get that bit of enough extra money within 2 - 3 years (I think) after college to pay to get himself set up with that life style? He went to a bartender school and worked as a bartender. That earned him enough chunk of money that he could set up an off grid house in AZ and get on with his passion project.

If you listen to Ian McCollum presenting on his topic, you can tell he would've been a very good bartender. Calm, articulate, polite.

How to Enter Your First Zindi Competition
Someone had mentioned this previously and I was curious if you were linking against the SDK or TBD files.
You can't "make something insolvent". A project is either solvent or it isn't. You can make a mistake about estimating solvency, but that's the fault of your poor estimation skills and your inability to read the situation accurately, not the situation itself.

If a project isn't objectively solvent and banks are still lending on it, then the problem is higher up the food chain - a lending "market" based on moral hazard which encourages poor decisions that blow up later.

This is one of those situations where the people on the ground - shopkeepers, small restaurant entrepreneurs, and their customers - are being punished for policy errors in the financial and real estate industries.
Most customers who have a glass of wine or beer with their dinner don't qualify as addicted. Also, the restaurants make the same (or even more profit) when selling alcohol-free beverages with their food.
French and cyclist and only discovering this :)

Cyclists in France are mostly middle-upper class. Lower classes have been excluded from town centers at distances where it is difficult to commute by bike. And their work is typically in another suburb, where bike infrastructure is poor or non existing.

I'm not impressed.

Is the test for a driver’s license the same as the test for a calculus exam? Of course not. I see no reason why the educational system or military draft is any different. As I said before, intelligence comes in a variety of forms, so the focus should be on fixing the system to account for this, not categorizing certain students with so-called learning disabilities because they don’t fit into the institutionalized definition of intelligence, which is measured on this extremely oversimplified scale known as an IQ test.
>Video game console hardware has lower margins than gaming PC components, which are already a very low-margin market segment

The high end has quite generous margins and the volumes are absolutely insane, which is why we're now doing HPC and ML on what is basically gaming hardware. Nvidia have a broad spectrum of markets, from the high margin and low volume Quadro to the low margin and high volume GTX - in a business that's dominated by NRE costs, that's a good place to be.

Apple providing support for gaming wouldn't necessarily be profitable in itself, but it'd potentially provide the volumes to improve their offerings for professional rendering applications. Apple refuse to do business with Nvidia and they've been hamstrung by AMD's weak offerings, but a gaming-focused Apple could acquire some IP and tape out their own GPUs.
But if the worse scenario actually plays out, you go on to cut 5% every other month, and end up with a net 15% cut in half a year regardless. But now your people are uncertain whether they should expect another cut, given the track record.
When i bought my last SUV i actually changed my preference from one popular Japanese brand to another because although the salesman at large Japanese dealer (Toyota) was cool, i had to give a small feedback session with his boss about what influenced my choice. The funny part of the story is that the original salesman was a UK origin American and the boss was Asian origin American (point being they were not from a small city or anything). I was so pissed off by the Boss' line of questioning that i actually changed my decision.

I realized in my US stay of many years that a lot of economy is rent-seeking like everywhere. Dealers primarily exist as ICE cars needed maintenance and legacy reasons. However it is a pity that they cannot be disrupted. I have not had experience with platforms like Carvana but i avoid used cars from people because i have had bad experiences before.
According to MacRumors there are only apple stores in 24 countries. Working with independent distributors does tend to increase availability of products and services in smaller markets, such as small countries, because the market is "worth it" to resellers located in those countries while largely ignored by the manufacturer.
ACM is providing free access to its platform till July (requires registration). There are lots of computer science research papers and journals there.
> Well, it starts with the fact that the industry as a whole shot itself in the foot when it started competing on price.

It's not like the industry as whole could decide to not compete on price, and enforce that somehow. There are regulations against this kind of behavior.

Whenever margins are high and competition is tough, somebody will try to compete on price, because it's the profitable thing to do.
OK, digging for the Lenovo ThinkPad T480 data sheet (which is not linked from their main website, at least in a place easily found), I gathered:

* their main product page -- https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-t-ser... -- does not list anything about SATA;

* (BTW, the support page linked from the main product page, is pointless and doesn't provide any data sheets; and the downloads page, has countless files, none of which contains "data" or "sheet" or "spec" in their name;)

* the user manual -- https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/t480_ug_en.pd... -- says that SATA is "available on some models", not specifying which;

* the maintenance manual -- https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/t480_hmm_en.p... -- doesn't even list the word SATA (or NVMe), however it does seem to present in the "Internal Storage" section something which resembles a HDD tray;

* the "platform specifications" (found via Google) -- https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_T... -- says <<system has one HDD slot or one M.2 2280 slot exclusively for storage>> and <<installed M.2 SSD is PCIe 3.0 x 4 but run at PCIe 3.0 x 2 due to M.2 SSD adapter limitation>>, which I interpret as: perhaps you can put either an M.2 or a SATA drive, however even with NVMe, you're still running at SATA speeds;

So all in all I'm a little bit disappointed about how "transparent" Lenovo is...

Can someone please confirm if the SATA port is available regardless of how the laptop was bought? (I.e. even if initially bought with a NVMe SSD?)
> Unfortunately it appears that delivery is part of the solution.

Not with the current fee structure. Delivery costs the restaurant 30% through the apps. And even then, the delivery service is not profitable.
what if you rent for shorterm off records and show it's vacant on paper like accepting cash for Airbnb like deal yet claiming it was forever empty?
I've been writing python for about a year and change now (~7 years of engineering generally) and I never want to use it again.

It feels to me like javascript in that it's "popular" because people already use/know it. So that huge existing codebase is the equivalent to the web; if you want to build on it, you're stuck with this.

But my lord. Whitespace sensitivity is a terrible choice and there are piles of kludges trying to work around that.

It means no multi-line lambdas so you end up with these unreadable list comprehensions `[ sub_item.value for sub_item in item.sub_items in items if item.is_the_best ]`. Lines copied into the console care about indentation which is definitely not a fun DX.

Not to mention these random global functions everywhere. Whew.

Mistakes were made.
That’s not how I read that product page. They claim that the user does not need to simplify the model before inputting it to their modeling domain. Not that they would have invented a completely new method of defining non-convex 3d solid volumes.
Donairs (how we Canadians spell Döner) everywhere are like $8-11 in Canada. And not for a premium one either. Meat here is more expensive than the US or Europe, rents are more expensive than the US or Europe, health and ventilation requirements for restaurants are more stringent than the US or Europe and in Ontario the minimum wage is $14/hr.

I've never been to Germany, but many of my favourite bars and restaurants in France wouldn't even be able to exist in Canada, they would run afoul of all our regulations.

I feel like what's often overlooked is how much so many of these delivery services have lost money

If the restaurant is losing money because of predatory behavior by delivery operations, the fact that the delivery company doesn't make money either doesn't really help the restaurant.
This is often touted as a good rule of thumb but it’s really a fallacy.

Your money does not know or care what it is spent on. If you take out a loan to purchase a car, and then use the money you didn’t spend on the car to purchase investments it is no different to spending the cash on the car and the loan on the investments.

If you have enough money to buy a car AND investments (and you need a car) you’re better off spending that money on a car and saving on the credit cost of the loan.

What this rule actually says is “it’s better to have money and invest it in things that appreciate rather than not have money or spend your money on things that depreciate”.

Well duh!
2) is the correct answer. Most restaurateurs in Canada (and probably the US) are simply unsophisticated. Most of the restaurants I've worked for and/or run are basically money printing machines (I've been lucky and feel I'm pretty good now) while a few crashed and burned hard (and it was always pretty obvious they would).

The example in the article has many, many things wrong with it.
you can use comm as well

# common lines
comm -12 <(sort file1) <(sort file2)

# lines unique to first file
comm -23 <(sort file1) <(sort file2)

# lines unique to second file
comm -13 <(sort file1) <(sort file2)

regarding readability, it is the same with any new tool or programming language, you'd need to be familiar with its syntax and idioms, someone not familiar with command line and sort/uniq commands will find your solution as alien as well
It also depends on where you live. Some places the price disparity might be higher than others.

Also if you're talking about dollar menu stuff or the stuff close to it, its about 1/3 the size of the burgers included in fast food meals. The burgers in the meals are comparable in size to what you would get at a sit down restaurant.

It's a functional programming language where every function is of type stack -> stack.

I like concatenative languages[1] and especially pipelines[2], but IMO Forth-like stack-oriented languages are in the wrong direction, b/c they force programmer to manipulate arguments on a stack, which feels hackish.

And my first real physical computer was an RPN calculator. As a kid I wrote lots of programs for it.

Also b/c of their simple implementation, Forth-s and stack-based VMs are frequently used in the wrong domains, i.e. Bitcoin's Scripts and Ethereum's EVM.

APL-family languages are better in this regard, but they also feel hackish in the general case, especially when passing arguments to nested functions.
Copying RTL-style from math notation is also wrong. You are typing LTR (at least in English), but the expressions are evaluated RTL. Here Forth, RPN, and UNIX pipelines got it right.

The interesting direction would be a programming language with following attributes:

- Purely-functional
- Statically typed with an algebraic type system
- Concatenative [1]
- Tacit / Pipelines [2]
- Homoiconic
- top-to-bottom, LTR

Extremely insightful comment! I've been in the industry for a while and this is an excellent definition. It pertains to whether or not a business model is well-established or not.
I was going to bring up Haskell as a language with clear semantics, but even that has its quirks, like

Prelude> [1, 3 .. 10] :: [Float]
[1.0,3.0,5.0,7.0,9.0,11.0]

In Haskell, this is syntactic sugar for the function enumFromThenTo (in typeclass Enum), which in my view should not have a special case implementation for Float.
"I think there is a very good possibility that the author doesn't actually track costs down to that level."

That's pretty much the most important job of a restaurateur, especially one trying to figure out how to keep the lights on. I would be very surprised if they didn't have extremely accurate figures here.

Do you have knowledge of restaurant economics that this piece is missing? The article specifically calls out that restaurant supplies and home cooking supplies don't work the same way (with the example about buying cases of pop).
As an everyday experience I would agree, but food truck pods are great for groups of people since everyone can pick what they want.

Food trucks were really meant to make use of an empty lot while the owner waited for development opportunities but they took on a life of their own. Here in Portland people are very attached to them, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.
One additional reason why it is beneficial is that you can then naturally extend typing to any expression, not just identifier. This can help the type inference (and also can serve as documentation), which is (IMHO) a must in a modern programming language.
Ironically I’ve tried not to be negative towards you (eg saying “you might be more experienced than the target audience”) and you’ve still taken my comments like a personal attack. So imagine how harshly your actual negativity would have been received by the content creator you’ve been targeting.

This is why I say it’s hard creating useful content for the web. Everyone is quick to attack but very few people are there to support. It’s a problem we should be even more accurately aware of during these difficult times of being on lockdown.

Obviously there will be times when constructive criticisms need to be raised but use of language is important — which I know is the same point you were making at the start but it’s just as relevant to you as it is the author. In fact HNs own policies ask that people write their corrections politely and constructively too.
There have been a couple of comments here asking a question like this, and it makes me realize that most people don’t actually know what clojurescript is.

Clojurescript is not some kind of scripting language on top of clojure, it is the clojure language that compiles to JavaScript, usually for running on the front end.
Yes, and part of the mythos of unit testing - especially around small methods - is based on that real-world analogy, when "this is programming", and many of the rules are quite different.

As another analogy, if you breadboard a device you can test each individual component directly. Once it's on a chip, most of those individual tests can no longer be used. That's not to say they can't be tested, only that the testing must be done on a higher interface level.

So, do you use those higher-level tests, which are more like intergration tests, or do you write the low-level unit tests and expect to throw the away at any sort of non-trivial code changes?
What do you think about the train test discrepancy? ie. will practitioners have to fine-tune Nubia's models on their training dataset in order to evaluate on their test dataset?
36% for the restaurant. Yep, that basically aligns with food costs.
The lack of dual power supplies and remote power on/off and good PXE support is crazy for a rack mount computer (won’t even dignify it by calling it a server).
Do you live in some kind of dictatorship? In a democracy there are tools how a community makes it allowed.
I usually persevere and get it done in awk but then find the next time I need awk that I don't remember any of it and can barely understand my own examples.
I wondered what the actual rates would be and found this article: https://www.jstor.org/stable/27739679

It seems that in the late 19th century in the U.S., the annual death rate from horses was approximately 5 per 100,000 inhabitants. That surprised me, as it's ~1/3rd the current U.S. road traffic fatality rate, and as horses were used for more than just transport.

I couldn't find any figures, but obviously the distance travelled per capita has exploded, so it's likely that horse riding is at least several orders of magnitude more dangerous than driving.
As one of the few who tried to game on macOS using an eGPU; I don’t blame you. Also, Tiny Metal rules :)
Large landlords who own an entire street/area in upmarket or aspiring parts of a city also worry about low end tenants dragging the rest down. Completely rationally they'd rather have 60% occupancy at 2x the average rent than 95% at 1x and they know that high end retailers will pay a lot less (if anything) for a site next to a McDonald's (for example) than for a site next to another high end retailer.

You value controlling as much of your computing environment as possible? Want source to all the software you use?

Do we really need to explain the merits of libre software still in 2020?
Any agreement between competing sellers to maintain prices at a certain level is price fixing. That's the dictionary definition. Any restaurant or group of restaurants who heed her call to collectively raise prices to create a higher profit margin are engaged in price fixing. Perhaps morally justifiable price fixing, but they're still opting-out of competing with each other on price.

I'll pay higher prices for restaurants who pay their employees better than minimum wage. I'll pay higher prices for restaurants who use higher quality ingredients. I sure as shit am not going to pay higher prices just to take the owner's profit margin from 9% to 19%.
The Term-Sheet Grader
Though there too much fatigue from trying to give mind space for new languages popping up almost every day, but this seems an older language. While I am not going to try it out, I can give you some ideas like : "The concatenation of two programs denotes the composition of the functions denoted by the two programs."
‘[M]ore advanced’ meaning ‘better’?
The problem inherently lies in capitalism. If you dont do it someone else definitely will.
Having a restaurant is like owning your production tool. The invested capital allows you to make a revenue. High margin is not required since there is little investment to do, except refreshing the furniture every 2 years.

They do, however, have a serious problem with the pandemic, unless they turn to pick up meals or delivery.
I understand what it means. There's an option in CS and it doesn't seem to actually do anything on Mac OS. Its one of the most popular games ever created and unlike many AAA devs Valve is still actually really good at what they do. If they can't get it right on a Mac it doesn't inspire much confidence that its an acceptable gaming platform.

Can you name an online FPS with a decent sized community with proper raw input on Mac OS? I'd be willing to give it a shot and see if its different. There are plenty of games that aren't CS that people have complained about over the years.

Also, raw input or not I was talking about multiple issues. Every mouse I have ever used on the 2 MBP's I've had felt terrible and nowhere near as smooth as the same mice on a PC even for general desktop use. Even Apple's mouse feels pretty bad.

I don't really know why, their touchpads are amazingly smooth and responsive.
I suspect restaurants just overbuilt and there are too many with eating space.

40% of the population consists of introverts. UberEats lets us eat in the comfort of our own homes for a $5 premium. I go to restaurants far less as a result. Problem is, I bet restaurants have lost money on most of my orders given what UberEats/Doordash charges them so while I spend more on restaurants as a result, I make them nothing.
That's because Tara Inn is a bar. They likely lose money on the cheap food and make it up on drinks.
So what are they like?
