It doesn’t have to crash per se. The value can go down. As in inflation. This is already happening in some sense. It’s just accelerated when the real value you get back is lesser for dollar by the day. A few years back can you imagine buying a $1000 phone? The measured inflation is really convoluted. I doubt it measures the true value of a dollar. The good thing is other currencies will just get devalued equally considering dollar is the world currency for the most part.

This already does happen, c.f. coworking spaces, but it's not really a solution. Many of the benefits of an office (career-wise) only happen when one's coworkers are in the office with them. Coworking spaces where everyone is working remotely together aren't really the same.

Some are. Most were nice. Some do that as a way of seeing whether a founder will get discouraged; if you know your idea will work, it’s easy to respond “Actually, that isn’t a problem anymore because X.” That tends to perk up the ears of VCs, since old ideas are bad until they’re suddenly very good.

Ramjets do not require supersonic flow speeds. They require positive speed (they don't work at a standstill), and are usually tuned for a sweet spot. This is usually supersonic because most applications are military, where the supersonic capability is desired. That said,they usually don't produce much thrust until you get over M0.5.

The point is the realization that happiness is not the most essential thing in thing. My hypothetical is meant to be similar to the choice between two futures, one, where you have one more loved one and maybe less happiness, and the other where you have one fewer loved one and maybe more happiness - i.e the choice to have a child or not.

Happiness is a kind of short term thing. Life has better things to offer in my view.

> Given that they end up with a breath test anyway

You might not have a lot of say in whether you’re taken in for a breath test, but that doesn’t make it admissible in court. A cop only needs reasonable suspicion to pull you over and ask if you’re drunk. A cop needs probable cause to arrest you for breath test.

The purpose of the field sobriety test is to help with the probable cause part. It’s also worth noting that (in the US at least), you are never under any obligation to participate in one. Refusing one can’t be weighed against you as probable cause, and participating in one will never help you. Especially considering police will judge as sober field sobriety test participant as impaired about 50% of the time.

Roadside breath tests are quite a different matter though. But they’re still used for the same purpose. The actual evidential test will be a blood/breath test performed after arrest.
"The Many-Worlds Interpretation has it that each time we make a measurement, reality splits into several alternative versions, identical except for the measurement outcome."

That's not right, the Many-Worlds Interpretation is just that the wavefunction in the Schrödinger equation (or its generalizations) is real, and it rejects that there's a separate process that somehow collapses the wavefunction to the single "branch" we perceive ourselves to be in. At the metaphysical level, there's no splitting involved, and no ontological measurements either (much less a "we" to do the measuring).
I'm curious about these studies, how they measure happiness, and the possible confounding factors. I was really happy before kid (singular), and I'm still really happy. Happier, I think, then I would have been otherwise? I don't really know how to measure that.

As a not-yet-made-it startup guy it definitely feels like playing on "expert mode". But with a supportive partner and some careful life choices, it feels pretty good. It helps that my cofounder has a kid almost the same age as mine, and we've been going through this together.

For some people writing software is an inherently social experience: contributing to a team, learning from colleagues, exchanging ideas in person. For others software is an experience of research and crafting which requires minimal feedback and no social interaction to grow and experiment. Like everything else in life this comes down to personal needs and expectations.

To say working from home results in a lost generation is excessive, almost to absurd. It is beneficial to some people and harmful to others regardless of financial or familial situations.

Furthermore that opinion only makes sense in a vacuum, such as for people who do nothing else and are limited to a single job solely focused upon writing software. Once your professional experience has broadened a bit absolutes like this subject become more clear for the limitations that they are.

Hierarchically decompose your total distance and count it out at each order of magnitude. I used to row indoors quite a bit and would count each 100 meters, incrementing to track each 1000 meters. Helps both to focus on short term goals but also feel the progress toward the longer term goals.

That said, my fitness incremented by orders of magnitude by getting outdoors and when confined to indoors finding a way to play video games at the same time. This week, I've done 3 rides greater than 50 miles for what it's worth.

I think it's been observed by many psychology studies that conscientiousness (the personality trait that determines self discipline and self control) tends to increase with age. Excerpt from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2562318/:

"Agreeableness demonstrated a fairly linear increase with age whereas the pattern for Conscientiousness was curvilinear: scores increased up to a peak somewhere between the ages of 50 to 70 and then declined."

No one in the article or this thread suggested that good intentions and profit will _always_ align. That is, indeed, a silly proposition.

Capitalism has worked wonders for society; it has thus far surpassed all competing modes of wealth distribution in terms of life expectation, child mortality, literacy, and even technological development. Capitalist Democracies have performed so well it's sort of amazing.

And in this globally connected world one doesn't have to settle; those that don't favour capitalism can travel to a number of south american states and enjoy an alternative.

Ah, a logical answer. Short, long, neutral are contraries.
You're likely thinking of subnormal or denormal numbers, which helps floating point representation better represent tiny numbers near zero. The typical floating point number is normalized so that it's 1.xxxx*base^exponent. Since the 1 is always there, it is made implicit as a rule and only xxxx and exponent is stored in memory. There's a limit to the range of the exponent, though, and so for very tiny numbers near zero, the exponent is capped at its smallest value and the rule changes to have an implicit 0 instead of 1. Then, you can get a few more orders of magnitude 0xxx, 00xx, 000x, etc. You gradually trade significant digits for more negative exponents.

I don't think it really helps for the interval 0 to 1, but rather for the interval 0 to 0.000000000000000000000000000000000001 or whatever. It doesn't give you more significant digits, but rather a gradual degradation of significant digits as they get used for exponents.

Subnormal numbers are a bit controversial because of their relative utility vs. added complexity to implement them, especially in hardware.
That's true for distributed computing in general so it has nothing specifically to do with the blockchain protocol itself.
> The fly (which is invisible) is a bourgeois innovation, much unlike earlier aristocratic styles, such as the European codpiece, that often drew explicit attention to the genital region. This is the one part of the male body whose contours are entirely effaced. If hiding something is a way of declaring it a form of power, then hiding the male genitals is a way of declaring masculinity itself a form of power

I don’t think the argument generalises quite that far, but it does go as far as “more information is worse.” The presumption of innocence is a valuable principle to which this applies. We ignore evidence that suggests that someone is guilty of a crime until the court process has finished, and if they’re “probably guilty” we say they’re actually “not guilty” for fairness reasons.
I find the current day internet beats the Winamp era in entertainment, learning, open source, travel, job hunting, hobbies, shopping, art and games. They all have more content, better and more accessible.

In the beginning, when the internet was roamed by students and tech guys, there was much enthusiasm for the possibilities, which unfortunately didn't pan out as expected when much of the rest of the world joined in. But that doesn't mean we can't find better options today than before.
Thanks for pointing that out. This website draws from that exact collection.
Could the answer be encrypted hird-party de-centralized mini-services being sprinkled accross various locations through-out the world? Perhaps the "authorities" would be able to crack one such mini-service, but it would never get them all due to how it limits jurisdictional access. I'm just thinking out aloud... Does things like this already exist (outside TOR nodes, of course)?

I know Linux enough to get by. a little bit more then that, perhaps. but I'll make sure to take a look at the course. if see something I can help with, I'll do it. pretty sure I will learn from it, for sure

besides that, keep a positive attitude. this thing here we call life is just a journey. eventually it will end for all of us. just make sure to enjoy your journey as much as you can doing the things you enjoy doing. sure it would be nice if we could all get paid to do the things we like, but that's not always the case. never fear though, making money is not and will never be a good measure for success. glad to learn that your side project was to perpetuate knowledge.
For a while I had a gig writing HR software, and I read a bunch of books on conducting technical interviews. One particular gem of a book -- the title escapes me -- had example interview questions for some popular programming languages. I don't know about the COBOL, XML and SQL chapters, but the C and Java chapters were terrible:

Q: "How do you get the size of a file?"

A: "Call open, and then sizeof."

... is the only one I recall, but they all ranged from "awful" to "not even wrong".

Over my years of job hunting I'm slightly disappointed that I've never been given a question from it. :-)

This is all fun and games until you run into this kind of code in production. I once had to do an emergency rewrite of some firmware by someone who did not appreciate the benefit of functions. That one was so bad that I stopped looking at the original code for any reason because I was afraid I'd accidentally adopt one of the author's many, many misinterpretations of the hardware, or of base reality.
Wow, thanks for the kind words! My only fear is for mobile users on a metered data plan. I suppose we show fewer images per screen than on desktop, but I do fear that it will add up.

Yeah, I'm hoping that the delay before the second edition is enough that they can change course on it, too. Either way, better to have more riscv options than fewer:)

That is interesting... and actually feels a bit CISCy, but this

Configuring a grouping of 8 registers for a vector of 16 elements might look like overkill because 128 bit vector registers are sufficient and should be widely available. On the other hand, there might be a CPU with "V" support that just implements - say - 64 bit vector registers where we would need to group 2 registers. Since a grouping thus may be needed it really doesn't hurt to configure the maximum here.

...seems to imply that the generated code may still need to assume certain widths.

How do you play video games and maintain proper form?
We do in the US, but the general public (and jurors) can be skeptical of breathalyzers, no matter how accurate they are. So the police are forced to come up with ancillary evidence in case someone contests that they were drunk. As a law clerk I watched a jury find a guy not guilty of a DUII who blew a .18 on a properly calibrated breathalyzer because of a bunch of wonky arguments by his defense attorney about how the officer did not conduct other field sobriety tests.
