I think people are imagining this will be pretty plug and play, but there will be a shock for sure if your standards of living and expectations come from larger and more diverse metros. I grew up in Cleveland, and lived in those listed areas in Columbus. They feel small, like very small. The 'active' walkable part of Columbus is like 2 miles on high street, where home prices are the highest and continually higher with every year. North of this is Ohio State, which I love but it's a weird place to hang out if you are over 25 and a football game isn't going on. South of these two miles on high street are downtown, which is empty after 5pm because it's all state government buildings and offices, and the german village which is admittedly quaint but not worth uprooting your life for imo, every city has a cute older area with $5 lattes. The rest of the city is suburbs stretching out until it blurs with farmland, indistinguishable from any of the other suburbs. Most of them don't even bother building sidewalks they are so dependent on the car. Public transit in Columbus is crap, basically a pity gesture from the city saying 'yes, we do have buses' and that's about it.

Cleveland is an overall nicer city than Columbus. It has older bones and is pretty well laid out on the east side with a few RTA rail lines. There are a lot of older neighborhoods that date to when Rockefeller lived here and made his fortune with Standard Oil along the riverbanks. You can get a mansion for ~$75k a bathroom right on the RTA line in Shaker Heights. The metropark system is also enormous.

However, Cleveland never recovered from white flight. The population of the greater metro area has been stagnant for 50 years, while the city proper has lost half its population in that time. Despite the good bones, Cleveland feels hollowed out as a result, and there is a lot of space now devoted to surface parking lots that used to be an apartment building in a formerly lively neighborhood. Still, there are a lot more walkable neighborhoods than Columbus and more options for living, but the city isn't growing nearly as fast as other metro areas and will not shore up the damage done to city life from white flight in my lifetime imo. I'd say about half the people from my high school class still live in Ohio, the rest took better positions elsewhere.

Coupled with the limited number of employers and therefore lack of jobs, and the six months of depression (sometimes it would only snow once or twice, the rest of winter everything will be grey and brown and muddy and dead, and 'scenic' autumn only lasts for like two weeks anyway), and I haven't looked back since moving west. In terms of my career, physical health now that I can be more active outdoors all year, and my mental health (Cleveland in particular only gets 80 days of sunshine a year), this was the greatest decision of my life. Plus I can actually get proper ethnic food, you should see what they call a taco in Cleveland. If I want to visit, can't beat a 5hr direct flight.

The economy can disappear if too much of it is closed for too long. (My dad tells about being unable to buy thread in the Great Depression, not because he didn't have enough money to buy it, but because all the thread factories had closed, and so there was no thread being made.)

We need a course 1) that doesn't trample on those who are poor, laid off, and still have to eat and pay rent, but 2) that leaves as few of them laid off for as short a time as possible.

What course will do that? That's above my pay grade. I just can see two problems that we must, somehow, avoid both.

"lay off low performers "

From layoffs I saw as a contractor, layoffs of this size are often not based on individual performance. Usually it's whole departments or functions that get laid off. If you have a good network you may be able to jump somewhere else.
It's entirely applicable! Actually Heisig and Richardson make the observation that after you finish both books (3000 characters) you'll be able to approach Chinese like a Japanese person would. Meaning that you'll have the knowledge of the characters, but still no knowledge on their pronunciation. Here's the section from the introduction of the book - https://nirc.nanzan-u.ac.jp/en/files/2013/11/RH-S1-sample.pd...

> Those of us who come to the language as adults can gain a similar advantage by tying each of the character forms to a particular unit of pronunciation and meaning, a “key word” in English, that we already know. Before you dismiss the idea of affixing English words to Chinese characters out of hand, consider this: all the Chinese dialects, no matter how mutually unintelligible they are when spoken, use the same characters for writing. These characters convey the same meaning, no matter how they are pronounced. What is more, when the Japanese use Chinese characters, they assign them still other pronunciations. In other words, there is nothing in the nature of a character dictating that it must be verbalized one way or another. Unlike students coming to Chinese from an alphabetically written language, the Japanese already know the meaning and writing of a great many of the characters. By the time you finish this course, you will be in a position similar to theirs. Of course, you will eventually need to learn Chinese pronunciations, just as Japanese students do. But adding difficult and unfamiliar sounds to a solid knowledge of character forms is a much more manageable task than trying to memorize meaning, pronunciation, and writing all at the same time.

Hmmm... just for fun, this is what I would like:

* All rendering done by raster chunks that get pieced together. If the pdf has a photo in it, it would be used as its own raster chunk.

* No special font rendering, but an idea of where text is so it can copy paste as though it is selecting text. Really it just outlines parts of the pre-rasterized text. Potentially text could be rasterized per letter for compression, but no dependency on font rendering abilities or local fonts should exist.

* No vector rendering, but the ability to select a rasterized vector image chunk and save as either .svg or .imgType.

* The ability to click html links

* The ability to write (with non-special fonts) into areas as to fill out a form

* A basic Regex (limiter => error/warn message) for form fields

-------

I think this would be enough to cover everything I've done with a pdf. Tests to pass:

1. Looks the same everywhere

2. Can click links (great for resumes)

3. Can view photos, and select them for download

4. Can fill out forms

5. Can copy text

6. ???

-------

Obviously size would be an issue here as you get to larger documents but I suspect compression could be made efficient enough to be just fine in most cases.
Sure. I graduated with a business degree (b.s. in management, specifically) and just kept on learning everything I could get my hands on about finance, valuing derivatives, human behavior and biases, etc, on the side through a couple of different careers. I used to bring Buffett's shareholder letters on trips when I was a pilot, for example. I've been a big nerd about this stuff for a long time and the strategy I built is the culmination of knowledge from a wide range of experiences and studying all fitted to my personality and goals.

Tech stack: I love Ruby, but use Python and a custom language that interfaces with the broker I'm using for execution. More and more decent broker API's are starting to pop up out there. So, you can likely use whatever you're most comfortable with. Alpaca has a decent web API, for example.

I honestly wouldn't recommend getting into it, though, unless you really enjoy geeking out over this stuff and have a decent breadth of knowledge to find your edge. You're also competing against some brilliant PhD types who are just as obsessed and hard working as you. My stuff works in part because it's taking advantage of some things that are too small for the big boys to pay attention to.

I'd be interested in a method similar to hesig but that uses actual etymology to teach the characters instead of made up mnemonics. Does anyone know good book doing that? I'm more interested in learning the traditional characters instead of the simplified ones (mostly because I also speak Japanese and spent more time in Taiwan and HK than in China)
Decided to finally start a blog, it's slow going and I'm a total n00b at advertising myself but I've always wanted to provide entry-level programming/cybersecurity training to people.

So far it's slow going, but I enjoy making it so that matters more. I realize the "get started with programming" arena is already slam packed, but I'm hoping someone will find my interpretation useful.

Theoretically, if they pay market, they can get someone to take the position. If you want over the market rate, there's a fair chance that someone with similar skills will under-bid you.

Other factors are at play than pure rational economics, though, so that might or might not work out.
Exactly. ^

Personally, I like to try to track how many times functions have been called (if possible), where bottlenecks are and if they make sense (is there some trade-off that necessitated them), and overall module usage.

That gives a more generally clear picture of performance.
The demand is there, say for food, but the capital has evaporated and the restaurant no longer exists. To start a new one you would need investors to pay for up front costs, labor, food, and commercial rent, and who is feeling bullish enough to start a business notorious for it's razor thin margins at the start of a recession?
Same for me with Elixir. I love that little thing so much but there are workloads where it objectively shouldn't be used -- for web apps it's definitely one of the best picks out there but that's a different topic.

I've lately been writing several Rust tools and mini apps and have admitted to myself that even if a language stack clicks with you almost perfectly, you should still reach out to other tools when appropriate.

Even us the senior devs forget that, and it pays to get reminded of it every now and then.
You have to make sure to ask for it to be added at the end of the loan and not a lump sump payment due after the deferral. The interesting thing is that these mortgages are parceled up and sold as bonds. So the investors require payments. If I bought a 4% bond, I expect my 4% no excuses. I believe this is why the govt is going to start buying bonds. There really is no such thing as a free lunch.

It's worth mentioning that none of our tech leads are outsourced. All of the very demanding architecture work and decision making happens here. A lot of that yields a spec that needs a hundred hours of dev time -- for example, "update the iOS and Android apps to match the redesign we did on Mobile Web". You don't need a US based engineer for that type of work, but you sure as hell want the best possible guy designing the architecture and doing code review.
RTK, which i'm assuming is similar to RTH, requires you to learn the cards in order because previous cards build upon the new ones. Do you mean you should shuffle your review cards? Is that not default Anki behavior?
In my opinion self driving cars far exceed the capabilities of current ML algorithms. I mean I guess you can spend couple of billions and implement some sort of expert system on top of that but it won’t be as simple as just training the ML algorithm.

Much better approach would be using ML as a safety sensor helper and let people drive the cars instead. For example, ML algorithm can detect if a pedestrian is on the road even on low vision conditions and might warn the driver, or check if there a car is acting weirdly on the road and warn the driver to be aware.

I think there is a catch 22 situation going on with self-driving cars. By the time we get to self driving cars at human level, we will already have cybernetic beings at human intelligence level and that will change the entire industries and the society itself, which might actually decrease the profits expected by self-driving car companies.
> Is where the water comes from relevant to the correlation between hydration and cholera? No.

In the specific example provided. Yes, of course it is.

Rainwater is close to pure water, drinking distilled water distroys cells in gut and causes diarrhoea, same as cholera does. Therefore this is a basic source of error in the experiment that should be controlled.

Learning Chinese characters by trying to break them down and understand the parts is pretty much the same idea as trying to learn English by learning the etymologies of words. Linguistically, it can be useful and help you draw unexpected connections, but it can also lead you into bad traps that hinder future learning. To some extent, the same applies to trying to learn individual characters as opposed to the words they are a part of.

I am ethnically Chinese and grew up listening to the language. Unfortunately, I didn’t end up learning the written language that well, so these days I’m working to catch up by learning more advanced vocabulary. The thing that I needed to realize at the outset is that Chinese is actually not much different from English, if you view it at the word level and not the character level. If you stop thinking of words as being a sequence of characters which each have their own meanings, and more as a single unit, the language is a lot easier to learn IMHO.

This lesson came a bit late for me. I still have trouble sometimes with words that are similar and share characters in common. I sometimes incorrectly substitute characters within words with synonyms when I can’t come up with the correct one, which renders the whole word meaningless.

Don’t get too hung up on characters when learning Chinese. Learn words. Some words are one character long - but the majority are two characters. Some characters have no meaning by themselves; others have so many meanings that it’s pointless to learn them in isolation. Many characters change their pronunciations depending on what words they’re contained in.

Yeah, I've always understood that to be the big initial play— get all those long-haul trucking miles autonomous, relegate human drivers to handling the in-city miles and cargo yards. I think Ottomotto (remember them?) might have even made a video years ago which pitched this exact scheme.

Of course, the environmentalist in me is saddened by the thought of further driving down the cost of that shipping mode which might be most compatible with being switched to rail freight.

A sundial on the equator has a horizontal gnomon (oriented north-south), and the shadows move underneath it from west to east. (There is of course a slight curve in one direction or the other based on the seasons.) See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundial#/media/File:Sundial,_S...
> The US military does not aim to install any regime, it aims to defeat the enemy's military.

If you look at U.S. foreign policy (covert and overt, CIA, military) over history, one consistent goal is to install regimes that are friendly to the U.S. and to topple regimes which are not. Defeating the military of the hostile regime can be part of that. But if that were it, then the U.S. would just leave once that had been accomplished, and that's not what happens.

The U.S. generally sticks around and tries to install a replacement, often undemocratically. On the occasion that they do implement democratic elections, any winner that is not sufficiently friendly to U.S. interests is undermined or even couped and a (usually right-wing) government is installed undemocratically.

Occasionally the U.S. will even undermine the democratic government of a country it hasn't even officially militarily engaged with, because the leader is threatening U.S. business interests. The history of U.S. relations with Latin America is littered with this type of illegal covert warfare, most recently in Bolivia with Evo Morales who was nationalizing natural resources that U.S. business wanted access to.
Not perfectly analogous to specifying folder names yourself, but the infamous Steam deletion bug comes to mind. (https://github.com/valvesoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671) Caused by a failure to use readlink (plus not sanity checking variable contents), so introducing a symlink would break it.
It's often the opposite which is responsible for poor trading performance, due to the fundamental anomaly of markets: trends. Poor traders don't let winners ride and let losers ride to get above their break-even point, which often results in huge losses betting against the trend.

If that's too personal to ask, I apologize and respect your privacy.
