These three-wheeled vehicles always make me think the same thing, "all the risk of a motorcycle, with none of the fun." They don't exactly have good cargo space, so storage isn't the focus - is the whole point space savings and fuel efficiency?

A novel idea, I guess it comes down to price in this case.

EDIT: I say "fuel efficiency" referring to the fact that there are gasoline-fueled versions of this same type of vehicle. I realize the Solo is battery powered.
They exist.

India has the most unfortunate timezone I guess, so US companies prefer Europeans, as there is at least some overlap. Plus, maybe there's unconscious racism? I.e. subconsciously associating white skin with higher skills.
You'd be doing that purposefully; Google admitted the street view car thing was a mistake[0]:

> So how did this happen? Quite simply, it was a mistake. In 2006 an engineer working on an experimental WiFi project wrote a piece of code that sampled all categories of publicly broadcast WiFi data. A year later, when our mobile team started a project to collect basic WiFi network data like SSID information and MAC addresses using Google’s Street View cars, they included that code in their software—although the project leaders did not want, and had no intention of using, payload data.

Honestly I have the same lag. Chrome on OSX MBP 15" 2018.
I read part of it as well, and it came across as one of those books that is basically a fairly simple premise that can be summarized in one paragraph, padded out to fill a book.

I mean "how to win friends" is similar, it can be summarized with just the 12 chapters, and it's padded out with anecdotes putting it in practice.

I'm sure Seven Habits is the same, I have it on my bookshelf (mandatory reading from my previous employer) and I think I started reading it but I lost interest.
motorcycles are very hard to tip over under normal circumstances. it's only when you start sliding that the vehicle becomes unstable. if you do this during a turn, it's much more difficult to recover than in a car.

still, unless you're driving at the limit, the main risk is probably hitting or getting hit by other vehicles. most of the "inherently more dangerous" comes from having essentially zero protection in a crash compared to a modern car.
Sideways parking would be a killer feature if it actually worked, but they're just a bit too long for that, and according to my memory, have always been.

"Alchemy: The Dark Art and Curious Science of Creating Magic in Brands, Business, and Life" by Rory Sutherland

Explains why we choose brands over cheaper alternatives, why we're willing to pay a lot more to lock in a deal, why we hate registering before buying the thing (but are more than happy to do so right after), why Sony removed the record button from the first Walkman, and much more.

This book forever changed the way I think about brands, and improved my design and problem-solving skills.

A couple of Rory's rules:

• The opposite of a good idea can also be a good idea.

• Test counterintuitive things only because no one else will.

A couple of "mind games" from the book:

• Merely adding a geographical or topographical adjective to food – whether on a menu in a restaurant or on packaging in a supermarket – allows you to charge more for it and means you will sell more.

• "There's your problem," I said. "It doesn't matter what something tastes like in blind tastings, if you put 'low in fat' or any other health indicators on the packaging, you'll make the contents taste worse."

I stumbled across Chomsky’s “Imperial Ambitions: Conversations on the Post 9/11 World” at my local library on the east coast while I was a senior in high school. When checking out the librarian seemed confused, “interesting,” she said “this book doesn’t appear to be in our system. It’s your lucky day. You just got yourself a free book!”

That book impacted my life more than any other. It really opened my mind to an entire world of dissenting, radical thought that could be both studied, praised or rebuked. A true “The Giver” moment.

I have since moved to San Francisco - once a hot bed for the type of thought I accidentally came across all those years ago. About 6 months ago, while looking through my home library, I once again stumbled upon that book. I was curious, for the first time, who the publisher of this book was. What institution was so radical to give Chomsky a voice even still? And I discovered it was City Lights Publications, the publishing arm of the famous City Lights Bookstore here in San Francisco. Weird how the world works sometimes.

To all reading, if you ever find yourself in San Francisco, you must go to City Lights!
When I was self studying linear algebra I found Strange’s book to be inadequate on its own, you really need the lectures to get the most value out of it.

I found going through Linear Algebra Done Right to provide a good counterbalance to Strang’s book+lectures.
> Having three wheels, it is not subject to the sorts of crash-testing the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requires for street-legal, four-wheeled vehicles, but it does have a seatbelt and an integrated roll bar.

If you say so. I have worked professionally in quite a few UI frameworks and they are pretty much the same.

The web is actually one of the most complex ones out there due to the never ending frameworks and libraries that come into fashion every other year. Old environments had a defined set of things to use and learn and things were stable for many years.

In Qt you can build your UI on the fly with code without using those classes if that is what you are asking.
Thanks a lot for the suggestion! Sounds like an interesting work in posthumanism and synthetic philosophy, definitely fits the bill.

How are these goals the responsibility of an architect. These are operational requirements that might need changes in a system's architecture, or adaption of interfaces.

All of these are requirements, not architecture. Architecture is about satisfying those requirements along with all the others in a cohesive and structured way.

My guiding quote is "Design is about constraints" from Charles Eames. Find and explore those constraints and you will be able to determine the architecture.
I agree. I loved Steppenwolf, and it had several absolutely sublime passages - very much like in the rest of his bibliography - but The Glass Bead Game was completely devoid of any of the magic or imaginal that Hesse can conjure up, no timeless cultural analysis mirroring our times and no razor sharp Kierkegaardian character portrayal.

Instead it seemed like a was harrowingly long weird sci fi fanfic over some vaguely defined but stupidly complex future society imagined in the lamest and most naive almost pubescent mind. Simple in the sense that everyone from the politician to the ascetic guru seemed like complete one dimensional stereotypes.

Also you don't stop reading because of esoteric complexity you might "get" later when you know more of the western cosmology like in fellow complex works like Ulysses (funfact both books are among the top 10 most abandoned), - you stop because it's boring imagined political history. There really doesn't seem to be a whole lot under the surface, and the schisms between "academic life" or a "life of devotion" versus "a mercantile city life", or "life of politics" was incredibly naive with no mythological, historical or even poetic context mirroring our world.

I guess i must have missed something?
#1 Put your absolute focus on getting things finished.

That can be much harder than it sounds because first you have to master the skill of defining what 'finished' means. Speak with the stakeholders and, without judgement or resistance, find out what it would mean to them to be 'done' with this project, phase, milestone, whatever.

Let them tell you. The business people should make decisions about the business. They set em up, you knock em down.

#2 Strategize on how to get it finished.
Once you have an agreement on what 'done' looks like, then talk with your team in a casual environment with a whiteboard present. Ask your team: Here is our task, what is the best way to get this done? Call on the members of your team who are quiet. Do not mistake being quiet for being out of ideas. Those guys just need a little encouragement to speak up. People say 'there are no bad ideas' that's not true, of course there are bad ideas. However, the environment and tone that you want to set for this meeting is: There is no NEGATIVE JUDGEMENT for your ideas. Get your guys to feel comfortable to spill out everything. Your job is to collect the gems.

#3 Assemble the document.
Get those gems into some sort of order that ends with you being done (see step 1). This is the 'architecture' phase. You have the task defined, you have the 'how' defined, now you assemble it into a document that you give back to both the stakeholders and your team for corrections. Repeat as necessary. Group the tasks into phases/sprints. Show your work to the stakeholders on a regular basis. If they change course because of that, go back to #1. It'll be faster this time.

#4 Delegate
Do your absolute best to give away as much of that work as possible. This will free you up to both help and coach the development team and to update the management team. If you are heads down in code for 50 hours/wk every week, you are not leading, you are coding.

If you are going to code, abstract up the hardest part of the project and code that only.

--

TL/DR: Train yourself to find the shortest path to done, which often means not using your favorite technology. Part of being a mature leader means to know when to be non-biased and to follow the natural flow of project requirements and staff acumen. Don't force that, listen more than you talk at first. Gather information and then produce a document that echos your decisions.
Someone doing so would potentially violate wiretap laws, probably also stalking depending on the state.
I think it helped us to go really fast at first. Observable queries and subscriptions made it relatively easy to make the site feel very live and collaborative. Not sure how much help it is now as some of the magic is causing performance challenges
But take Dune with a grain of salt; I read them, but the books after the first get a bit, I dunno, wishy-washy? Vague? Philosophical? I wanted to like it because the universe it describes is compelling, but the stories themselves lose a lot of luster.

Interesting to see what they'll do in the upcoming movie / series, whichever it was though. It's great in terms of worldbuilding, and it's influenced a lot of other stuff (like Warhammer 50K).

The reason for not doing that is the bias that such sampling introduces.

We are writing a paper out of this, but the main point is that you can achieve these two things with minimal classification performance degradation:

1. Speeding up node embedding and classification.
2. Speeding up whole graph embedding and classification.
Hey Philip,

Congrats on the launch of your new book. Will probably be checking out the first chapter after work.

As I've been hanging out more online, I've realized the increasing importance of writing. Even as a developer, writing seems to be a differentiating factor.

Other than your book, what are some other resources that you relied on in order to build up your skills as a writer? Or did you just rely on reading and emulating people's works.
I an addition to having to communicate with a lot of stakeholders, keep coding. I have seen plenty of architects that lost touch with the technical side after a while and turned into major obstacles. If they are politically savvy they are the go to guys for management but their actual contribution is negative because they often push the wrong designs and suppress ideas from people who work on the code and have a handle on how things really work.

In my view as an architect you need stay a top notch coder.
The sort library has been massively upgraded since you used it. There are a lot more helpers so you don’t need to reimplement the swap and less functions for each slice type.
> Or are you just understand the impression that the US, who has produced by far the greatest number of tests (in absolute numbers) of any country in the world, just doesn't have the desire to obtain greater and greater numbers of tests?

Yes. (I've answered this in more detail in the other comment thread, but Trump has repeatedly complained that testing = detected cases = bad look for him.)

There's no indication the Trump administration has invoked the Defense Production Act to ramp up reagent production. They'd be wise to do so, if it's a genuine bottleneck.
I highly recommend spending some time configuring your prettier, especially if you regularly write out matrices. It's very much preconfigured for FE heavy development which doesn't work for me either - but you can have a global root config tweaked to your preferences.
I'd never heard of soundex codes, that's pretty cool! Thanks for sharing. For anyone else curious: http://www.genealogyintime.com/GenealogyResources/Articles/w...
There are some pretty egregious errors here. Decreasing K increases the variance and is more prone to overfitting. Increasing K increases the bias and is not necessarily more accurate. It all depends on the underlying distribution of the data.

What is the time complexity of knn? Why should I use it? When do you not want to use it?
Not really any benefit from that

But the charity you setup would shelter your assets better than any prenup or other asset planning (or lack thereof) when you divorce your spouse
thats awesome, congrats on launching!

as a fellow soon-to-be first time gumroad author - what was your tech stack for writing and publishing? i tried Ulysses and Scrivener and Leanpub and wasn't happy with any of them. looking to go from markdown to PDF/Epub/Mobi with good control over table of contents, footnotes, and linking between chapters.

i have a list of alternatives to explore.. just wondering what worked for you?

also - how did you mock up that book cover art on the landing page?
William Saroyan, The Human Comedy.
Yup,, that's the one. Explains more about the human condition than any other literature that I have encountered.

I definitely agree with this! In large codebases especially. This is ultimately why Ember has decided to move toward using JS imports to stitch components together as well, we recently merged an RFC to do just that.
My son decided to taking the next year off from school, in part to push his graduation (hopefully) out of the recession window, or the worst of it, and because it’s pretty clear that next autumn’s classes will also be online, despite the protestations of the administration.

He found a job as a developer so he’ll use the year working and (implicitly) networking which should improve things at graduation time. Internships are being cancelled or virtualized so a real job at one of those companies is more valuable at the moment. In some ways an internship in a structured internship program can be better, but not in 2020.

I like the education he’s been getting (and more importantly he does too) but the rest of the value add has been gone this semester. A big part for him has been the connection with the faculty (how did he find this job at $bigco?). No point in paying for that until things settle down.
Some people, including myself, see his actions as courageous and that of a good leader. Not succumbing to political pressure and making sure his employees can still get paid. Respect.
What's a way to implement this in practice? Does this article imply that if 1 core was writing the value of a variable (without any locking) and other cores were simply reading the value of that variable without any locking, it will just work correctly due to underlying CPU cache coherency protocols?
Hey Philip, this is great. I'm curious, what tools did you use to produce the book?
Yeah. I have noticed few instances of badly optimised functional code.

something like

examples.reduce((accumulator, example) => {

// logic

return {...accumulator,[example.name]: example.value }

}, {})

Object spreading and destructuring combined with fancy immutable array methods smell..
There is an impact of very large paintings that you definitely lose in a photograph. It's not that such paintings are only good because they're big. But viewing a painting that fills a wall is just a different experience from looking at even a much smaller version of the same scene. This is probably especially true with large figure groupings like The Night Watch.
>> "Benefits not available to low-income workers"

A more accurate statement would be "Benefits not available to low-income jobs"

There are plenty of jobs that simply cannot be done remotely. The more physical the job, the less it can be done remotely. A meat packer at a meat packing plant cannot work from home. A construction worker cannot build houses from a desk. (I'd add nursing, but a large amount of those jobs is paperwork that often can be done remotely.) And there are some very highly-paid jobs that cannot be done from home. Pilots cannot pilot from home (of the few that still have jobs). Surgeons cannot cut. Mechanics cannot turn their wrenches from afar.

And all the IT people. Some of them can login remotely to diagnose network and service problems, but someone always has to have hands on hardware. There is yet to be a robot that can replace a failed cooling fan on a law firm's NAS device. Some, many, of these people are in fact making trips to other peoples' homes to service the equipment that allows them to work at home.
Thanks for your input! Those from AbuseMark look great. The USB-C version works if DisplayPort Alternate Mode is supported. It costs 30 USD, same as regular DisplayPort one.
This depends enormously on the culture of your organization. And in a high-level role like this you're in a strong position to shape that culture.
A bit of err, self-actualization? Goes a long way. I've been in a similar point, eventually I was offered to go to a career coach. It's basically someone that challenges you about what you want to do, what you want to achieve. And in my case, identify that I'm a people-pleaser, I'd rather defer to others to tell me what to do rather than take my own initiative, because comfort zone, risk, etc.
OOP involves a type hierarchy, which is a prerequisite for giving meaning to the idea of inheritance. You can't talk about classes without actually talking about types, and inheritance creates a type hierarchy.

From golang documentation:

"Although Go has types and methods and allows an object-oriented style of programming, there is no type hierarchy. The concept of “interface” in Go provides a different approach that we believe is easy to use and in some ways more general. There are also ways to embed types in other types to provide something analogous—but not identical—to subclassing. Moreover, methods in Go are more general than in C++ or Java: they can be defined for any sort of data, even built-in types such as plain, “unboxed” integers. They are not restricted to structs (classes).

Also, the lack of a type hierarchy makes “objects” in Go feel much more lightweight than in languages such as C++ or Java."
It's not an Americanism to keep your milk in the fridge after you open it. Which country are you from where you'd keep opened milk in the room temp pantry (which is what is being discussed here)?

These attempts at "Americans do the darnedest things XD" comments always seem so forced to me.
Looks interesting. Years ago, I experimented with the D2RQ project that does something similar.

It would be interesting to see a benchmark with something like WikiData or DBPedia converted to a relational database and compared with a RDF store like Virtuoso. Compare query speed, memory use, and index size on disk. Also seeing a comparison of bulk data load times.

Anyway, looks like a cool project!
I genuinely don't know. It's very difficult to discuss. We could do ideological epidemiology to find out, but in some cases it seems extremely plain. The study of ideology as a threat leads us to read Arendt, Altermeyer or Adorno. Fair enough. But then the people pleading for a return for sensible norms get steamrollered by those seizing power directly. Spite is an effective wedge issue, so it's going to get amplified or created out of nothing.

I'm reminded of how trans people in the UK have gone from a tiny minority whose treatment was gradually improving as part of the general process of queer liberation, to heavily attacked by high-publicity astroturf organisations, for no readily apparent reason. Is it really the case that mild criticism of a joke in Father Ted caused the writer to burn down all his public credibility and his marriage in a spite-driven counter-campaign against all trans people? It sounds extraordinary, but seems like the only reasonable explanation of what happened there.

Step 1 is undoubtedly: organize. Although organize what, exactly? Conventional political parties no longer seem the right vehicles for this kind of thing. Perhaps a paraparty organisation, like the environmentalist version of the Tea Party? But greens have been doing this for decades with limited effect.

The main failing of Green parties tends to be un-pragmatism. The big barrier is not so much "dark green" vs "bright green" vs "redgreen/watermelon", as scientific versus mystical. And the mystical people have more energy .. it just needs to be better directed.
This legality deserves reconsideration in today's technology:

To an individual taking pictures, the public is no great resource and can not be significantly used as a source of asymmetric power. An individual's "public" is a small sphere around them as far as an affordable camera can see.

To nation-states and large corporations, the "public" becomes virtually all of the spheres around every individual. It can be combined into a database which is no longer accessible to the individuals in the database, making it no longer public. It can then be used asymmetrically by the organizations against individuals. For example, mass-gathered public real estate information can be pitted against individual buyers and sellers of their homes. It biases the market toward those who can collect the most information using capital an individual with a single camera could never collect. In the case of google streetview, a monopoly has been formed.

When our country was formed, such asymmetric power was scarcely imaginable. We need to reconsider whether mass gathering of information should be allowed.
I concur. Iyashikei games are usually (not always; think Animal Crossing) mobile games, and games that really don't require much concentration. They're for de-stressing.
