> If you're trying to quantify the risk of dying by accident at a certain hour, what activity you are doing in that hour is highly relevant.

and this is an irrelevant measure, because by that logic, most people sleep for about 8hrs a day, so the chance they die in their sleep is high!?

You measure risk _only_ against what it rewards you. Otherwise, why take the risk at all? Therefore, measuring the risk of air-travel has to be accompanied by a comparison to bus-travel (or rail and/or boat), and measurement should be by distance travelled.
First, it gets cold to work sitting if it's Spring time (15 degrees Celcius). Is this case, only working standing keeps you warm enough, since the blood is circulating. (In the hot summer, you could work sitting in a shade of a tree.) Second, you can't work sitting on the ground for too long, it's just not ergonomic. I also like my ergonomic Microsoft keyboard, without which I can't code for too long. I like my mouse, etc. So, by sitting on the ground you can do some adhoc work, but you'll go home for serious commitment.

>> Realizing how allergic major companies are to GPL code really creates some skepticism when they speak about embracing open source.

While orthogonal to your main point, this sentence conflates Free Software (GPL) with Open Source. It should be emphasised that the GPL is NOT open source, and that Open Source is not Free Software.

I came here to see someone actually solve this rather than say "it's a Markov process, it has a solution". Here is my progress towards something:

First, using Taek's notation for the maze with the correction that entering and leaving an indent results in 2 steps rather than 1. The resulting set of equations are:

X_{0,f} = X_{1,f} + 2.5

X_{0,b} = X_{1,f} + 3

X_{k,f} = 0.625 X_{k+1,f} + 0.375 X_{k-1,b} + 2.5

X_{k,b} = 0.875X_{k-1,b} + 0.125 X_{k+1,f} + 1.5

X_{n,f} = 0.375 X_{n-1,b} + 2.5

Where the first index is the index of the current indent. Thus, n must be at least 1 but the first indent occurs at entry 0. The second index is the direction the maze goer is traveling in.

From here, we can easily get the growth rate of 1.4 which is 0.875/0.625 or more intuitively the ratio of momentum pushing you backwards vs. pushing you forwards. This is the root of the exponential growth.

Finally, I believe there is no "closed form" solution but this will be the solution of the linear system X = AX+b for the A and b shown above. I am able to convince myself that there is no nice solution because having the two dimensions (position and direction of travel) makes it impossible to rearrange the above equations and make a clever change of variable to make the telescoping sum look nice. To see this, realize that each term relies on 2 things and one those things doesn't rely on the first term.

Finally, here is some Python code that implements this:

"""

import numpy as np

n = 25

A = np.zeros((2n+1, 2n+1))
b = np.zeros((2n+1, 1))

# Setup A: the first n+1 entries will be the forward index and the last n entries will be the backwards movement

b_shift = n+1

## X_0

A[0,1] = 1
A[b_shift,1] = 1

## X_k

for k in range(1,n):

# foward movement

A[k,k+1] = 0.625
A[k,k-1+b_shift] = 0.375

# backward movement

A[k+b_shift,k+1] = 0.125
A[k+b_shift,k-1+b_shift] = 0.875

## X_n

A[n,n-1+b_shift] = 0.375

# Setup b

## X_0

b[0,0] = 2.5
b[b_shift,0] = 3

## X_k

for k in range(1,n):
b[k,0] = 2.5
b[k+b_shift,0] = 1.5

## X_n

b[n,0] = 2.5

X = np.linalg.inv(np.identity(2n+1)-A) @ b

print(f"The number of steps from the beginning is for {n} cutouts: {X[0,0]}")

They're betting, correctly I think, that most people won't actually bother quitting. So the costly scenario you're saying doesn't play out as much as you must think, and it's cheaper to let that happen occasionally and keep the rest underpaid
You are saying that poor people (as in, people who have not enough money in their account to sustain living after a fraudulent transaction) should have creditcards instead of debitcards? Here I would not even be able to get a cc if I made under a certain amount/month which would not make me poor enough for that. Or do you mean something else? Cards (debit/credit) normally (and for good reasons like this) have limits far below what I have in my account and the bank is good at detecting fraudulent transactions. Credit is considered not good for people who are not well off here; there are entire tv campaigns to dissuade them from it so I am curious if you are recommending it and if that is normal in, presumably, the US.

I'm not trying to be petty, or throw a tantrum. I'm not talking a 10000s of lumens here. It's just the only sure fire way to educate the driver about the problem fast enough. It usually works out that we both stop shining lights in each others eyes, and and pass safer and wiser.
The problem with that approach as in any negotiation that in order to be successful, you need to put your job on the line every time you go to negotiate to have the maximum leverage. It is all fine and dandy if you win every time, but if you go and they don't budge and your stay, your leverage is basically gone.

People early in their careers have flexibility of moving around, but if you have mortgage, kids, family or need to take care of your parents, this strategy carries a lot of external costs.

For games speficaly it is nealry impossible to negotiate meaningfully because every postion is budgeted ahead of time, including salary increases. By that I mean if someone asks for 5% increase, they are basically negotiating against spreadsheet, not human across from them. The best one can do is to hit just under the cut-off line.

On top of that, employee providing different "value" to the company is just a myth, because if someone was literally providing value to multi billion company they would be paid millions. For most people their value is just replacement market value.

If people want a meaninful compensation in games, they have to be an executive or creating new revenue stream for the company.

I'll only work on V2 of this after I get some funding through a campaign. Why? I'm a coder by trade. I'm not going to gamble with R&D on the table concept, if I have to bootstrap it on my own. If I get the funding, I'll go full time on this, and I'll surely make it more portable. I have to experiment with 3D printed parts, I think. It can't be done with stuff out of Home Depot.

> Yes, it makes sense that the public media change their focus as the to follow the focus of the population they serve.

But that area was already more than well-covered by plenty of private companies. Why does the state need to compete? I can absolutely see an argument for the initial creation of public broadcasters: it's an enormous investment in a new technology and we want some control over it. But to enter a well-established market "because that's what most people prefer now and we're losing relevance" is a of private company perspective. "Oh hey, I noticed that there's a successful market providing what the customers want. Let me throw money at disrupting it" isn't usually a government position.

Sure, you can look at other countries. The US is a pretty good example in my opinion. They're getting better products in any direction: better if you want trash TV, higher quality news (with highly specialized channels such as Bloomberg TV but also general news-channels like CNN), better if you want entertainment (HBO vs Tatort? I don't think there's even a question), better if you want sports coverage (ESPN etc), better if you want music.

And they still have public broadcasting to serve special requirements, only at a much, much, much lower price because they don't try to make them cover everything anyone could ever want.

Yes that's how you'd do it. That said, while I really love SQLAlchemy and worked with Alembic for a long time I switched to manually generated SQL-based migrations in all of my projects, as there are simply too many corner-cases that are quite hard to capture with tools like Alembic. Writing plain SQL files gives you much more expressive power and also makes it quite easy to build complex migrations that e.g. involve first some schema changes, then a data migration, and then some more schema changes, which is hard to do with most migration tools.

I also found that the use-case which most of these migration tools optimize for (being somewhat independent of specific SQL dialects) rarely works in practice, except maybe if you stick to the smallest common denominator of all SQL dialects. And that again is wasteful IMO as not using a lot of the functionality that's present e.g. in Postgres can make your life a lot harder.
It may have been turn out different if the pandemic had not happened.

The way international market is today, 737 MAX is probably making money more now on the tarmac for the airlines than their other aircraft. Boeing is going to be forced to pay the airlines for this grounding pandemic or not.

Global travel is also going to be weak next few years, even if vaccine becomes available next few months , the economy will take a lot longer to recover and it will be a while for the current capacity even without MAX to be used, not to mention all the new orders being delivered.

Of course it will depend on each airline, their financial health, leasing agreement and demand, and of course Boeing settlement terms etc

I have children. When they see some ad and ask me to buy something, if I think it's not a good idea I just say 'no'. That's a parent's job to do so.

Marketing does not cause bad parenting.

But, again, politicians find it less risky to tell people (electors...) "Oh poor you, you're doing all you can and you're doing a great job but those companies undermine you with all those ads" rather than "You're a parent, take your responsibilities and do your job". And unfortunately some people buy that because it's also more comfortable than facing the music.

Well shit. I had a rough childhood (not nearly as bad as some folks, but bad enough that I'm still in therapy and dealing with fallout like anxiety and depression), and this study makes intuitive sense.

I also encourage anyone struggling with mental illness to see a therapist if you can, and explore your childhood. I knew my early life was bad, but I had no idea that it could still affect me decades later and manifest as something like anxiety. I've seen a few professionals that have helped me put the pieces together and give me some tools to cope. You can't go back and change the past, but you can try to make a better future.
Emergence of Digital Technologies to Amplify Growth Copyright Licensing
This is all nice and well, though I'd like to add the thought that this is much easier to do on industry scale.

Have one large industrial factory like an aluminium smelter or steel plant that is redesigned in a way that it can shift its electricity use a little bit? That's probably having an effect larger than a lot of personal users.

I guess there's a political issue here, as industry often pays very little for electricity to begin with. I know at lesat in Germany most large industries are excluded from a lot of fees that normal customers pay. Providing "cheap and reliable electricity" to industry is often almost a political mantra.
I guess it would make sense to say at some point: "Dear industry, you can have cheap electricity, you can have reliable electricity, but you can't have both. If you want to have it cheap you have to support the grid by providing flexibility."

Pandemic Survivor Manuals from the American West
Guys, if I get the funding, I'll make it better before I put into production (more portable, etc.) I'll do some more R&D and tinkering with it. I'll probably also hire a mechanical engineer to consult me. But it does the job, even as it is. So worst case, you'll get it as it is now, best case you'll get a better variant.

Your freezer can do that, but your fridge can not. The safe range is 40-35 (4.4-1.6), however your food will spoil faster. It's better to keep it 37-35 (2.7-1.6).

That's a very narrow range. You might be able to pre-cool the freezer, and use some of its cold to keep the fridge where it needs to be.

But I suspect you would pay for that in lower efficiency, because the colder you need to go the less efficient the cooling is.

Electricity prices would have to be dramatically lower to make it worth taking your freezer extremely low to store cold.

I suppose you could make a freezer with a special water storage compartment (filled at home to reduce weight), then use that to store cold. But with the extra complexity, and lower efficiency.... just how much lower electrical prices are we talking?
This might be a silly question, but how come there was no evidence?

I thought that the hard part with persecuting (adult) rape is that the physical act is the same as sex - so there’s no “obvious” proof that the crime even happened (like a dead body), only different interpretations of why sex happened.

That goes away if it’s statutory rape, where even just sex is evidence of crime.
We use "dear imgui" for fast prototyping, some of those prototypes got to be production software.

At first we were worried about the screen always updating and consuming so much energy, but reading the code it became obvious that it was extremely simple to fork the imgui with a very small update screen change, so it only updates when we do something.

Imguis and game engines are much simpler to code than conventional GUI because you don't need to handle so much state.
Sure, and there's probably some that you wouldn't ever notice as attractive if they didn't spend an hour on make-up and another hour on tuning their abs each day. But most of it is genetic lottery, not hard work.

The same is true for money. It's still work to turn a million dollars into two million, but it's not anywhere close to the work required to turn a dollar into a million dollars. But nobody wants to be successful because of a lottery, so they'll argue that their father gave them "a small loan of a million dollars" but they made it big themselves.

This assumes that people decide the destination before deciding the mode of transport. In my experience this isn't true, specifically with the 737 MAX. I had a 4-night trip booked with my family to Seattle from San Francisco on a 737 MAX and cancelled it when all that shit went down. Rather than driving that weekend to Seattle we drove to Yosemite because I wasn't going to drive 12 hours to Seattle. In terms of total travel time (time to drive to airport, check in, and fly) the travel time was about the same to Yosemite as to Seattle but the mileage was obviously much less.

Abandoning Android: A Series, Part 11.1 – The Health and Fitness Edition
100% confirm these exist. When I first came to California, I worked for a computer repair shop in Sacramento as my first gig with a "budding software division". Place was a bait and switch on what they had me doing. Market took a downturn just after I moved so I was stuck in the job. They pressured me into doing full on software architecture but paid me like an intern for it.

Eventually went from bad to worse. It was so stressful it caused a condition of mine to flair up. Long story short, I was vomiting blood and stomach acid on the daily in the mornings. Work from home would have accommodated me but they refused because the CEO was an asshole. He let others work from home as a "favor", but wouldn't meet medical needs.

After giving me more than one death threat, I finally quit and sued. Pro bono, of course, since I had no money.

They hired the most expensive defense firm in California to take the case over what would have been a $5-$10k settlement. My lawyer was unbelievably startled by this, and immediately dropped the case after.
