Maybe, but if you're running a company you basically are doing highly leveraged decisions. Making more decisions is not nearly as important as making the right ones - and being overworked is not conducive to that.

Getting your sleep, eating well, exercising, seems more important.
>to my 03 VW, it has data from so many sensors available for the tech to look up

There's a lot of sensors and flags, but it isn't really logged anywhere in significant amounts. It just stores log of occurred errors, and dump of selected module parameters at the moment of error entry.
Agreed, the expected outcome of pairing your phone is that it just streams music to the stereo like an aux jack. Its extremely unexpected that it will steal your contact and private messages.
It's all bollocks, of course. There are hardly any jobs in Science or Mathematics, not really that many in Engineering, and among "Technology" the only genuinely massive sector is software ('eating the world', or so I hear).

So in reality what this massive "STEM" push amounts to is an excuse to trick children into wasting their time going thousands of dollars into debt getting useless degrees in mechanical engineering or mathematics before they can attend a Javascript bootcamp to become actually-employable.

This is total crap. TL;DR;

1. When doing multiple things at once performance is reduced in each of those things (thank you capt. Obvious).

2. Doing multiple things at once in a specific setting correlates with reduced activity in some brain areas. Casuality not demonstrated either way. No demonstrated relationship between "brain damage" and lower activity, so the claim in the title is at least two logical errors away from the raw data.

3. Buy this new book about EQ (which is pseudoscientific crap on its own).

Genuine question: like when?
I'm really curious why some people have such a hard time picking it up. My experience has been the complete opposite, everything just clicked and it all made sense (at least, until you get to the gnarly stuff). What was the difference in our mental models that caused this?

> Hmm. And how much square footage do you estimate that would cover?

USA has 257,722 km of 1,435 mm gauge track, so… about 3.9 billion square feet there.

The EU is a bit less, but similar (208,211 km).

Worldwide is 1,370,782 km, various gauges. Roughly 21 billion square feet?

Should be good for a combined nameplate capacity around 393 GW.

> How would you run electrical lines by and through the constantly moving (expansion/contraction, as well as vehicle weight) heavy steel elements?

The trains and trams around here are electrically powered, so that’s already solved technically, and in cases like mine the solution has already been implemented.

I have no idea how the other stuff might influence costs.
Good point

I should have said 'crossing the border without being searched is not a constitutional right'

I can't cite chapter and verse, but I'm pretty sure that you do effectively consent to search in the act of crossing the border -- if you don't want to be searched for controlled or taxed items, you can choose to not cross the border, so...

I keep thinking "maybe I should have learned awk"... but I can do all of these things but the line numbering in sed (and there is a standard unix tool for line numbering called nl); it also feels like I might should have learned perl if I wanted this kind of power (but instead I made the "mistake" of getting very very good at sed).

As someone who speaks sed I thereby found this part super confusing:

> In this manner I used it as a kind of modified sed which only operates on certain lines.

But... sed already does that, with the same syntax even? (Note that I don't have BSD sed handy... I would normally use \0, but that & works fine in gsed.)

This is awesome! I'm desperately looking for rougelike ideas that could rely on those maps.
that process does make things more efficient.

In my experience, process is to make things predictable, not efficient. Nothing scares a middle manager more than having to say "I don't know". They'd much rather say "this will take my team 8 months" than "this will take between 3 weeks and 6 months to complete".
It is worth clicking on the software link (openFrameworks). Pretty interesting stuff there.
> Is this indicative of a cultural shift in the industry?

Yes I think the industry is changing.

In my anecdotal experience, the quality of programmers has taken a nose dive. I think part of the reason is that it's been a lucrative industry for long enough that parents have had time to coach their children into the industry.

In the early-mid 2000s (when I cut my teeth) and especially in the 80s/90s (from what I hear) you came across more "hacker" types that were doing this work for the love of doing it. Yea you still had the "Initech" type companies that would outsource/etc but cutting edge programming work was a lot easier to find.

These days I'm seeing more and more people that treat programming as a "job", not a "passion".

Obviously I think this is a good thing for people, in general.

But I also think that, while the potential for software is at its highest, the actual relative quality of software is at its absolute lowest. This is due in large part to the bad quality of software engineering these days. Again, very anecdotal.
Where could one read more about your (or similar) research?

This kind of thing is quite big at the moment in mobile work machinery circles, everyone's looking for a certifiably safe solution for enabling mixed-fleet operation (i.e. humans, human-controlled machines and autonomous machines all working in same area). Current safety certifications don't view the nondeterminism of ML models too kindly.

The first thing I did when I bought my new car was unplug the cellular module. Sadly, it disabled two of the speakers when it was unplugged. I had to do a bit of research but I was able to reenable the speakers with two bypass wires.

Your use of terms like "open border" tells me that you've been mislead. The US/Mexico border is, sure, hard to manage and there's significant traffic that can't be contained.

Estimates of total unauthorized border crossings run around a few hundred thousand a year. That's what has you so freaked out.

A quick google tells me that the state department issued NINE MILLION visas in 2018 (don't have more recent data, and obviously 2020 is a huge outlier for both legal and illegal border crossings).

You can argue about immigration and labor effects all you want (along with other, less savory cultural/nativist ideas if you swing that way). But as a disease control effect it's complete noise. Legal immigration by world travellers dwarfs it by more than an order of magnitude.

Don't put this on the immigrants. You guys shit on them enough, and this bit just isn't their fault. At all.

So the solution to poor instruction is to drop it?

Math is a useful skill for everyone, including calculus. Not everybody goes to university, so we should teach it in HS.
I'm curious about what data suggests this, since getting honest answers about sexual activity from the public is a famously difficult challenge.

As an entertaining example, Seth Stephens-Davidowitz's big data book Everybody Lies mentioned a study that asked people in the United States how frequently they had sex, and how frequently they practiced safe sex with a condom. If the resulting data was accurate and projected across the entire country, the United States consume 2.7 billion condoms a year... even though only 600 million condoms are sold in a year.

It's such a beautiful project. The telnet access, the supported zoom and scroll gestures...

I once heavily hacked the (very!) well organized and readable code to send the vector features -- the roads -- to an Arduino that was generating a TV signal. I actually used two Arduinos, one showing text labels only, the other one for line features.

MapSCII was programmed to slowly pan between two of my homes (between Quebec City and Montreal), along the highway connecting these cities. The pan was in real time -- 300km in about 3 hours. I've been going back and forth between these cities for many years. This art piece, named "Contrecœur" (a city name along the way, and also "against one's heart" in French) was a digital contemplative take on this.

He didn't, Tesla did. They added bitcoin to their asset holdings and it is on their balance sheet. Sure, he has significant control of the financial decisions within the company, but it is a publicly held company and it has a CFO that has to sign on to decisions like this based on what's good for Tesla, not based on what's good for Elon.
Less than half? Seems like my statement was factual, but that didn't stop you from jumping all over it to make some kind of point.
I beg to differ. The authors did not find a parameter other than death penalty rate that predicts death penalty rate. They claim that this implies that the high death penalty rates happen because the death penalty rate was high. This authors are _wrong_: this conclusion does not follow from their analysis; their analysis is unsound.

A demonstration of unsoundness does not require a proof that the conclusion is wrong; unsoundness means that the argument is wrong. The onus is in the authors to present a sound argument, not on the reader of the paper to demonstrate that the conclusion is incorrect.

(As a different example, Andrew Wiles’ first proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem was unsound. This didn’t mean that the theorem wasn’t true; it meant that Wiles failed to prove it. Similarly, in my opinion, the authors of this paper have not provided sound evidence in favor of their claim. This doesn’t mean I disbelieve their conclusion.)
Really freaking cool

Exactly - totally pathetic. Seriously - what are you contributing in terms of engineering budget? Nothing? Then stop bothering contributors to open source.
Note that getting rid of tailored instruction does not just "eliminate opportunity for accelerated math", it also makes it harder to access remedial math instruction promptly for those who need it. This is how you get students who can't quite grok negative numbers or fractions when they're in a frickin' Algebra I class. It absolutely hurts vulnerable students.

Of course the most common 'solution' is then to get rid of "advanced" stuff like Algebra as a graduation requirement altogether, which is an even clearer disservice to students and their surrounding communities.

Fixing income inequality creates more opportunities to perform activities, which leads to more socialization leading to more potential romantic encounters. Hard to think about a spouse when you're making $8/hr but spending 33% of your life behind a counter.

I also wager a portion of the people who feel they "need but can't get sex" may also learn that what they desired wasn't what they actually cared that much about.

In this regard, I guess one can argue that prostitution is a crutch to a much larger problem that may never truly be solved.
Thanks for the feedback. There’s a test in the repo that does parallel coordinates:

https://github.com/observablehq/plot/blob/main/test/plots/ca...

It’s not a perfect fit for Plot because Plot wants at most one instance of each scale in a plot. (I.e., Plot isn’t designed to support dual-axis charts where you have two y scales. Dual-axis charts tend not to be a good idea anyway.) So to implement parcoords we use a normalize transform to map values to [0, 1] and then render axes manually. We might revisit this topic in the future as Plot grows. I agree that parcoords are very useful for initial exploration, especially with interactive filtering.

It would also be reasonable to have a more specialized component for parcoords — not everything has to live in Plot. For example we found ourselves making a lot of dashboards of time-series data, so we built this reusable component on top of D3 instead of Plot:

Childcare expense has a natural limit: the income of one parent. I have a dozen kids, and I certainly do not attempt to pay for childcare. The kids have a mother to care for them.

It's interesting to ponder how close people might be to hitting that natural limit. Some have gone over it, perhaps without realizing so. There must be many people who would save money by parenting their own kids.

This is really neat! 'Been using observable for about a year now, and I really appreciate how easy it is to share notebooks with it. Circular dependencies can be fun, but that's not really unexpected considering the model y'all use.

How well does this framework do with something relatively complex like an animated choropleth? Vega-lite and D3 can do them both, but they can both get complicated pretty quickly.
This “Type-A” hustle mentality resonates with me. I do see lots of people pushing back on it, ie ridiculing JD’s that mention passion, emphasizing work-life balance, disdain for “brogrammer” culture, etc. This seems especially prevalent on Twitter.

My personal life doesn’t allow me to do marathons. If I was single I would probably be hauling ass all day every day. I understand the health implications, but the desire to be “the best” or to be “10x” clouds my long-term vision.

I want to dominate like rms, Carmack, Beej, Eich, etc. That might put some people off, but technically, those same critics are my competition. If you don’t want to put in the same hours as me, that’s cool, but there aren’t an infinite amount of $200k+ roles in the world.
This.

I sometimes walk by the red light district.

One time I seriously considered having sex with a sex worker.

I talked to multiple of them to find a click and I was appalled by all my interaction.

I realized that I wanted intimacy leading into sex.

What they offered: strictly penetrative sex and nothing else.

As I got older, another issue arose: to what extent is intimacy actual intimacy when you are paying for it?

Intimacy implies someone caring about you and you caring about him/her. That suddenly means it has an ethical component of idealism attached to it.

For me anyways.

A full on reading into one particular book is probably going above and beyond (though I cant immediately see anything about right wing co-option on a skim read of that particular one; the general criticism at the moment seems to centre on the radical lefts takeover).

The search for me at least brings a number of articles which highlight common criticisms of the movement such as rampant sexism, advocacy for abolition of basic rights (free speech, right to fair trial etc), general hypocrisy and bad faith action (see the Cathy Newman vs Jordan Peterson interview for a great example of this)
Thanks for writing this up, I'm always on the look out for alternative methods for DFTs and the like, currently concentrating on interpolation of low frequencies (after DC, but still within the first 5% of wave numbers) . I'll see if this fits my use case soon, hopefully today.
Can we improve things? Sure. Should we invest in improving things? Absolutely.

Neither of those permits the kind of pervasive magical thinking people have where we can somehow raise even a fraction of our 7 billion people to anything approximating a typical Western lifestyle without further accelerating environmental collapse. Or even maintaining the number of people with such a lifestyle that we currently do.

Our planet fundamentally lacks the resources for sustained consumption anywhere near the scale we're operating at, no matter how green we try to make things. Even just on a purely thermodynamic level we're running out of energy budget without overheating the planet[1]. And that's completely ignoring greenhouse gases.

This looks great! I spent a few months earlier this year learning and implementing D3 and while a little bit of a learning curve to pick up, it made sense once you got into the flow of things. Looking at this and amazed with how simple it could have been to use as a starting point if there was no need for customization. Great addition to the growing JS solutions for data needs. Another step and tool towards a JS suite of tools for data analysis!

Lol you should actually read the thread and replies. It may calm some of your fears. The author does a whole lot of backpedaling after being called out for the fact that the DOE’s proposal does not, in fact, eliminate HS calculus.

Edit: The “lol” wasn’t directed at you by the way. I found it funny that the author of that thread was making a big deal about “the elimination of HS Calculus” and then immediately followed it up with a bunch of hemming and hawing about how that wasn’t true.

From the perspective of your cells, this is (almost) true.

There are even interference patterns of lines that collide, eg gut bacteria and human cells.

I’m very concerned about how our welcome push for equity and representation has been evolving from pulling underachieving people up to pushing overachieving people down.

You see this in canceled AP courses across the country. You see this in the deemphasis on testing outcomes (SAT for example). And you see this in challenging classes being made easier, or focusing on group work rather than individual contributions.

A while ago I read about how a school started introducing Khan’s material into classrooms. It increased GPA on average. But it had a much greater effect on white and Asian American students, so it increased the achievement gap, and was canceled outright rather than improved. So a program was canceled that increased student performance… insanity.

This isn’t the way to go about improving equity.
I recently decided to do a deep dive on Joan Didion (and Susan Sontag) to see what she was about without knowing much. I grew up in the Bay Area during the time she wrote about it in “Slouching Towards Bethlehem” and found it reflected more her sort of depressed and dissociated view of the world than any accuracy about the reality of the era. Her writing did get better and she does deserved high praise, but her early stuff about California for which she is famous for is not that good and probably appealed more to the East Coast culture view of California at the time.
Open source was never meant for "corporate users". The spirit of open source was to create free alternative to expensive software so that disadvantaged people could also participate in a digital revolution.
The whole movement was then appropriated by big corporations when they found out the developers will do the R&D work for free (so corporations don't have to pay salaries and taxes on the work done) and then if any of the projects become valuable they can just take it and use for their own purposes, make money and never pay original developers anything whatsoever. Of course some companies felt guilty and offered jobs to those developers - but when you compare how much money they made on the software vs what kind of salaries they pay, it's pure simple exploitation.
The whole open source movement currently is designed to exploit developers and is a mean for companies to avoid paying for labour.

> It's also why I love that my hometown allows riding bikes on sidewalks.

This would be a dream.

I live in a reasonably deserted/seasonal neighbourhood, so it has a neat 2-lane divided avenue down the middle, but it is usually very empty (a car maybe every minute).

This doesn't mean I can ride anywhere but the very edge of the asphalt, almost tripping my pedals on the sidewalk rise (I forget the word in English), since drivers love to pick up some speed in the avenue and drive at frankly disrespectfully close distances, even though they could have almost entire lane of distance to a cyclist.
