I'm in the same boat as you having no formal college/university CS training. You've given me a good idea for a blog series. Writing posts that go through the solutions I came up with for each day of AoC if I can do so without benefit of knowledge of useful algorithms & data structure concepts, and then reading the best solutions I can find on reddit etc, and write a blog post on how it works, as well as what underlying concepts it utilizes, and how they work. If I do that for all days/years of AoC, I could post a summary of the most useful concepts that I learned, that were applied to the most problems of AoC.

That’s still a net increase of meat consumption from putative vegetarians and vegans.

The story I’ve heard from CSAs with ethically raised animals is that they all have stories of former vegetarians ordering meat from them, exclusively. So there’s at least a little flex in the other direction.
Excess mortality seems like the best way to track the pandemic because determining whether someone died of covid can be debatable sometimes, but there can be no debate over whether someone died.
I don't think that works. Would people really want to go to the location of dealerships, usually on high traffic roads and commercial districts, far from suburban homes to charge their vehicles?

I'd rather they setup a charging setup at homes or residential areas.
While I get what you’re saying and agree with you overall, it’s still not worth it to me. I’ll never forget when I went to see Deadpool. During the open credits (which has smart ass titles for the people like “An Evil British Bad Guy”), the lady next to me made sure to read every title aloud followed by a “AH HA HA AH HA HA AH HA HA.” It was obnoxious and kind of ruined the beginning portion of the movie as I waited for her next annoying action.
> Our linter would of course catch this, but it runs automatically only on the CI

This is why, unless it’s a significantly degraded experience, I run a local watch version of what I expect to run in CI during dev. And if it is a significantly degraded experience I stop what I’m doing to either fix that (if possible) or refine it to at least approximate the CI validation automatically.
I support free market with oversight. I believe shadow banning should be made illegal, but that companies should be free to decide if they want to block certain viewpoints. If a company blocks something like QAnon, then that is part of free market to create a new niche for people that are into fringe conspiracies that allows those viewpoints. Additionally, if a company wants to block liberal ideas then a market can exist for those who share similar ideas. The idea that these companies have to allow all speech is ridiculous, and I don't see people trying to enforce the same idea of free speech in other places of business like grocery stores, restaurants, etc where someone could start shouting some conspiracy about Democrats eating babies in the basements and not be asked to leave.
I was confused at first because your link is about a different approach, using drugs that temporarily constrict the pupil. The drug that fixes the lens is in human trials too, and would also just be an eye drop. Here's an article:

Thing is, being able to concatenate options together saves a lot of typing.

(And honestly, —long-flags are rarely useful in practice. Unless you have no man page to figure out what the single letter options do.)
They can also convert insects, maggots, grass, and a lot of other inedible things into food. That’s why we started keeping all of these animals in the first place. It’s just along the way we started using feed corn instead.

This is true in Urban markets, but in more rural areas the gas station is the grocery store and the restaurant. It will probably help those businesses by giving bored drivers a reason to come into the business and spend.
I am actually surprised any sold at all. Who on earth is paying $75k for a car that is neither fast nor luxurious, and only has two doors? Even at $50k there are much better options out there...

[..] What YC looks for, above all, is founders who understand some group of users and can make what they want. This is so important that it's YC's motto: "Make something people want."[..]

I don't know if you intentionally switched from billionaire to millionaire, but it seems entirely possible (and even somewhat common) to become a mere millionaire by actions and careers that most would consider virtuous combined with sound saving and investing strategies. I don't know if my parents are actually millionaires or not, but if not, they're not far off and they were both public school teachers whose parents were blue collar steel mill, coal miner, and in nursing. Those are not careers marked by the excessive use of exploitive leverage by the employees.

It takes a special type of effort to make video NOT work on modern web browsers.
Yes, these are common. However, it's important to ask yourself why they're common. They're usually chosen because of cheap real estate and car buying being a destination event. i.e. we buy cars infrequently enough that we value ability to choose among more options more highly than the time it takes us to arrive at a destination. This is the opposite of how we consume fuel. How often do you drive out of your way for a lower gas price? I almost never do.
It’s also worth noting that people who are in poverty often don’t have the option to talk back in the work place. They’re scared for a reason, if they talk back and get fired they lose their apartment. They can’t feed their kids. So on. And the sort of jobs that people in poverty have to work aren’t jobs that have to care about treating their employees well, they’re jobs that have no issue finding new cogs to place in the machine. You can’t hope that the people who are barely living in our society would be able to break this feedback loop. Instead we’d have to find a way to build a society where people have less reason to fear.

Then yes, these habits about how to treat the work place get passed onto kids. And it takes a lot of mental work to relearn things deeply ingrained in you from childhood. This is the second issue, where it would take generations for the bad effects to actually disappear. There are no quick fixes to systemic issues.

Do I ever feel this. I've created 50 Wikipedia pages and I still feel that way. I was attempting to midwife a good, but poorly formatted and sourced page, the "too much time and effort" you describe, and it still got shot down. The person in question has had three solo interviews published in national publications, a long performing career, even produced and starred in a TV show on a niche, but real, cable channel. That's not notable?

Whereas every major league Bangladeshi cricketer is allowed a page? It's exhausting. And my Wikipedia account is old enough to vote. The only place you can make articles easily is when everyone involved is dead.
I would agree with this assessment. It seems people think this is like academia -- it's not. There are no guarantees of tenure at a private company, even one with a research culture. If she wants that, then give up the paycheck and go back to academia. Google doesn't owe her anything. (I bet she'll get a decent settlement.)

AI ethics are important and I'm willing to bet that the Google execs want to know about biases and other problems in their products and probably don't care that much what is published. They probably don't want high maintenance researchers that cause them headaches and are obsessed with microaggressions, etc. I expect that this stuff has been a distraction for too long and they are happy to be rid of this and happy for the signal it sends across the company.

I have little sympathy or concern for Ivy educated elite in-fighting. There is probably a huge number of qualified people just dying to have the opportunity to work there, have access to those resources and do research.
It doesn't just eat, it also drinks water. And while water is not something that has calories, by using it will break down, oxidize and produce different compounds that can hold an even bigger kcal than the initial compound (corn in this example) it started with. Isn't organic chemistry amazing?

In the ideal world we'd turn the existing gas stations into solar powered super charger stations (which do sort of look like current gas stations [1]). Existing gas stations are often found near useful places like grocery/restaurant/business areas.

But as you say, there are less needs for equipment and regulation, so we could potentially have existing gas station locations converted AND new sites even closer and even more liberally sprinkled about providing even more convenience.

I suspect that the goal is really to ensure that cars on the lot are properly charged. When I was looking into a PHEV a few years back, everyone online was complaining the cars were never, ever charged. That had to hurt sales since PHEVs generally perform worse on gas and then have engine noise.
A few sneak peeks into Hey.com technology Series' Articles – DEV
Persons B, C, and D are being paid a rate proportionate to the available labor market for their product building skill set. There was nothing stopping persons B, C, or D from being person A and founding a company for that idea.

If B, C, and D chose to strike for a higher wage then they could but there might be an E, F, and G which could take over for them at their previous rates.

Anybody can make a giant sized, billion dollar company. Those workers chose to work as employees under standard labor terms.

The early Microsoft employees that made lots of money from their stock options probably aren't bitter about their compensation.
Feed conversion ratio is the wrong metric since you're forgetting about the energy required to grow the feed and transport it. The proper metric would be Joules in per gram of chicken out.

Since the lab grown chicken doesn't need bones or organs, there is already an efficiency gain there. You also don't don't need to maintain a chicken for months since this burger only takes a few days to grow.

Real chickens are currently more efficient, but that won't last forever as lab technology improves. Ideally, you just need a vertical farm that takes in electricity, organic feedstock, and some minerals and you should be able to get a better energy to meat conversion than an inefficient chicken that was cobbled together by blind luck.
Could you possibly use this as a basis to make xkcd/ "stick figure" like posable characters?
I think there's more variance to it than just that. I wouldn't call my experience with them "extensive", but neither am I a blushing naïf, and I've never found them to be pleasurable for their own sake. Granted, this may in part be due to the fact that my only encounter with heroin was as part of a luckily failed attempt at sexual assault, but it's not as if I've never tried prescription opiates for recreational purposes, and I'm told by those who should know that IV Dilaudid, which I was once given during an ER visit for what turned out to be a stuck kidney stone, is comparable to heroin in its effects and subjective experience. Later in the same visit, I was offered a second dose, but turned it down; something about the CT contrast I'd been given had by then moved the stone and alleviated the pain, or maybe it had just moved on its own, and I found nothing in the effects of the drug to desire for its own sake.

On the other hand, I've known people who haven't been so lucky, and have ended up badly hooked. I suppose I shouldn't have spoken so positively about what opiates are like, when I can only really speak with confidence about what they're like for me.
I personally feel better when I eat animal protein, however I try to supplement with a lot of plant-based protein. These are exciting developments in the food industry. I welcome a future in which meat can be eaten with lower environmental and ethical consequences.
Bought the book as well and would recommend it. Also have a look at Scott's talks (links are on the website or search his name in youtube)
We adopted stimulusjs a couple of years ago for adding some basic interactivity on our pages and it was a decent tool, but we quickly grew out of it once we started adding more complex (form based) front-end behavior involving lots of state changes. We're currently trying to migrate a significant amount of stimulus code over to react.

Not knocking on stimulusjs, but just be wary that it does not grow well with increasing client side complexity. You'll end up writing a lot of javascript boilerplate / DOM manipulation code / custom state management components. From my experience, it's a nice lightweight tool for when you:

1. Just need to add some light interactivity (toggling visibility of components, any basic view filtering) that do not involve a lot of logic
2. Don't need j.s unit tests (stimulus has not been the most testable tool - we lean mostly on integration tests).

I agree. An ultimatum given in an e-mail is more difficult to treat as a negotiation tactic, and it seems like there is much more to this story than we will ever know.

A second hand account from a VentureBeat journalist is the best I could find [1]. As a researcher with more than a decade of experience in Natural Language Processing, what is described by the journalist in regards to the paper content seems to be non-controversial and nothing out of the ordinary from this kind of work. If anyone could find an actual leak I would be more than excited to have a look at it using my own eyes rather than filtered through someone else’s.

It sounds like there wasn’t a great working relationship. It seems management was concerned (reasonably, based on her track record) about the prospect of her responding with hostility directed at the coworkers who expressed concerns about the quality of the work if she managed to discover their identities. Refusing to let a person have a written copy of anonymous feedback is a rational thing to do if you’re concerned that the person will closely analyze the feedback in an attempt to de-anonymize the reviewers.

The fact that she issued an ultimatum for the identities of the reviewers suggests that management was correct to have safeguarded them in the first place.

Just sampling: The last billionaire I looked up was a north american mining guy. He owns mines, in Africa. Can you guess which country? Yes exactly, the one that prospers much more than the others.

Basically, the "work" has to come from somewhere. The reason FB is rich is because 2+B people choose to work for free. The reason Google is rich is because they do not have to create the content (in fact, "content creators" are pushed to the back seat). The reason Amazon is rich is because you can use cheap labor and sprinkle tech-efficiency on it. The reason all gig-companies are rich is because they can circumvent many "worker-rights". The reason Microsoft is rich is because they give a damn about compatibility and competition (the will extinguish probably even the classic "open source", given enough time).

Some hedge funds are rich, because they buy the order-flow data of poor people playing with their money - maybe they use it against them, maybe not.

I cannot see non-exploitation in any of these. Another grandiosely self-serving essay by a rich man, who thinks he has figured out how the world works.

If he really had, he would probably want to change it. For the better - which is probably much harder then just doing more of the same.

Edit: I sometimes think people who write these things are painfully aware of the kind of illusion they create and choose to create it nevertheless. Mundus vult decipi.

Something that could help would be to allow players to choose what server they play on. The server could then establish rules against tactics that are regarded as effective but unsportsmanlike.

Casual servers could also choose to implement more aggressive rebalancing systems between rounds.

Finally, players could choose to select servers that they know to have a more casual community.

Not a good sign when someone is using a famous name to sell crypto tokens without concretely describing how the tokens work or why a blockchain is needed.

It smells like every other token sale: a modern day get-rich-quick scheme, marketed on the back of a vague and fanciful white paper, that will provide the founders with instant wealth and no incentive to deliver anything, while leaving retail investors holding a bunch of worthless tokens.

These "stop making fun of PHP" articles are all the same. They are full of strawman arguments like "PHP is not actually slow!".

Nobody is complaining about it being slow. What about the fact that using an undefined variable is not an error in PHP? Yes, even in the brand-new PHP8. The fact that the function to open a file can also open an HTTP URL, run a glob, or even execute a command over SSH? Take a look at some of the things that were just fixed in PHP8 and ask yourself: if these things were just fixed after this many years, what other monstrosities are still in there?

Instead of writing "PHP is good because I've been using it for 20 years", I want someone to tell me "no errors for undefined variables is good because _______".

Ask HN: Why prices on Amazon Canada is significantly more expensive than US?
Hi experts,

I noticed that Amazon.ca book prices are inflated comparing to the US one. I live in Canada and am really considering purchasing in bulk (20 technical books valuing at say $1,000) and ask my friend in US, who lives close to Ottawa, to send it to me when he goes shopping there. I doubt Custom would charge duty on it.

Example: The Elements of Computing Systems (Paperback)

Amazon.ca: $41.56
Amazon.com: $23.96

BTW this is just a mild example, check out Unix Power Tools, Third Edition (paperback).

The ratio is around 1.7346, while the spot USDCAD is about 1.2776. I can think of a few reasons, but I'd like to consel your opinions.

0) Should not use spot price for comparison

I'd argue that the real conversion rate (paid through credit card) won't be too different from the spot price. May be a few percentage at most.

1) Delivery Charge

On Amazon.ca if I purchase over $35 then delivery is free, while on Amazon.com it's a significant part of the cost (e.g. it shows about $10 for my Canadian address). However, this can be mitigated by making more purchases. For example if I buy another book the average delivery cost drops to $6.5. This is probably just a small percentage of the total cost if I go over, say, $200.

2) Less business opportunities in Canada

Maybe they just don't have many supplies in Canada, so they have to get them from the US. But then again I doubt that's the case for every book, plus the mark up seems to be a bit small if it really has to be transferred from some where in US.

Other reasons that you can think about?
The future and end of PHP was HipHop, but I literally have an uncle who is 89 and still programs in COBOL, so whatever.

From my perspective, PHP isn't even a good running joke like PERL (or the earlier one...TECO http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/academic/computer-science/history... --"UOENO")

A whole universe of replacements out there (that are also incompatible with PHP5/7) ...just don't be lazy and use Node.js (even Ryan Dahl disavows it) or Ruby (I hear DHH say "look what I'm not doing" whenever I see the word Ruby). If you can't find anything cool, try Go.
