The envelope description doesn't allow the core of the issue to be expressed. Just allowing for a single measurement of a single property is completely uninteresting.

Being able to measure spin at arbitrary angles is the best description, but I don't know any good analogies to it, especially ones involving envelopes.
If DCSS is still too complex for you, give Brogue a try.

But you are not helping anyone understand. You say, "if A, then B". But we look at reality, and we see that A is in fact the case, but B is nowhere to be seen.

The only thing that elucidates is that libertarian ideology is largely a fantasy.
It's about removing artificial barriers to repair (such as serialized components), not using older tech.

Also, there's no reason most things (especially wear/upgrade components lie batteries and storage) in modern devices shouldn't be replaceable but that's more about poor engineering than malicious business practices.
Why do NLP models fail to detect Biblical names
I see what you mean, but let's go back to the orginal issue and why I think this implicit cast is insufficient as as definition of what happens here.

Say you have the obvious minimal implementations of

struct Point ...
struct Point3D : public Point ...

And then you do this:

Point p3 = Point3D(1.1, 2.2, 3.3);
Point p = p3;

On a 64 bit machine this results in sizeof(p) == 16 and sizeof(p3) == 24. So, at some point someone has to decide how to transform p3's 24 byte representation into p's 16 byte representation.

In C++, this happens simply by truncting p3, i.e copying the leading 16 bytes of p3 into p and throwing away the trailing 8 bytes (I'm not sure whether or not this is part of the standard).

This is not the only imaginable way in which this could possibly happen though, which is why I'm saying that the whole process is not sufficiently defined by stating that a reference to child is cast to a reference to parent.
Great article (assuming the solution provided works).

I do a lot of parsing in my projects, I find natural text based input vital for power users who don’t to point and click always.

What are some good parsing algorithms, theoretical articles etc to help me become more professional in the parsing tools I write?
Ethereum L1 is indeed expensive. There are Ethereum L2 chains, like Polygon, xDai and Loopring, that offer very low fee transactions, but in order to be useful, exchanges need to integrate with them. It would also help if more inter-L2 bridges, like the current Polygon <-> xDai bridge, were set up.
We can throw all those properties in a database and we’re done. A name will never be exhaustive categorization, because we still need names to resemble "what it looks like" and "what it looks like" doesn't have to correspond to "what it works like" or "where it came from".
The entire problem of using byte swaps is that you need to use them when your native platform's byte order is different from that of the data you are reading.

You know the byte order of the data. But the tricky part is, what is the byte order of the platform?
One certainly can be bothered by both. I can live without sideloading apps but expect some control on the version of app I prefer. Apple's decision to remove the option of backing up apps from the device was the final straw for me to abandon the entire ecosystem and I have not looked back.

That said, I really don't think Epic's policy and practice is necessarily benign. Multiple indie developers have reported that Epic is not even going to consider publishing your game unless you agree to some kind of exclusivity first. Has Apple every turned down an app submission because the same software is being offered on Android?

In the past I have bought several consoles to play titles exclusive to that platform and I was not bothered about that. For all I know the game may not even get made without the backing of Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo, not to mention they were marketed as "Console X exclusive" from the get go. Once upon a time when EA pulled their games off Steam there was much less controversy as people understand that EA has the right to make any business decision for their first party games. However things are quite different when Epic decides to waltz in at the last minute and scoop games from other store fronts because they can outspend others.
The strange tale of a Cities: Skylines town with only one house (2015)
I was talking to an astrobiologist a couple years ago, wondering what she looks for as signs of life. We got into talking about all sorts of things, from prions to the LUCA (last common universal ancestor). At some point when had asked enough questions about what is and isn’t alive, and she basically said it’s not even clear what is and isn’t biology.

I really enjoyed An Elegant Puzzle (the book by the author, this article is there). The greatest thing about it is that it is opinionated. For example, it gives you the optimal number of developers in a team. You can disagree with it, but at least you have something concrete to disagree with. So many career advice sources I read discuss things in such a general manner that it's hard to take away anything concrete from them.

No, it simply repeats the commonly understood fact that it is better to have a diet rich in specific nutrients than to try to use supplements to make up the difference. Everything from dosage to bio-availability of supplements shows them to mostly be not worth the price of manufacture, let alone the price people pay at the till.

Because it's the correct way to spell it. Names are spelled with an uppercase letter in the beginning and all the other letters are lowercase. "I saw John" vs. "I saw john" vs. "I saw JOHN". First one is correct. Even if John tells you "My name is spelled with a lower case j". Or if John writes: "this orange thing is a kaRROT", it's still a carrot.

You can write whatever you want. You can also write "Tis is me bunni and he likes KArRoTs" and have a lot of friends agree with you that's the correct spelling. And it is still generally considered wrong :)
While I can follow that line of thinking, we also shouldn't immediately be dismissive of the conclusions of a professor/researcher at a faculty of health sciences. At least not without a good reason to believe that we have more expertise on the subject than them.

On the other hand, there might also be a bit of Spanish cultural bias at work there (Spain is the second-largest consumer of fish after Japan). On the other other hand, it would fit into the mystery of the mediterranean diet.

Those consequences are not a given. I too, had to work from 14 years old, and beyond the basic sports interests had to pay my own way (for example, guitar and guitar lessons).

I might agree a little with point 1, but I never felt penalizingly tired like you say in point 2, and I also never picked up smoking or boozing like you say in point 3.

Aside from that, having your kid work at least a little (even if they would only earn 20 bucks a week with a few hours on a Thursday evening) massively improves their respect for earning something, and actually managing money.
The problem with "to be" is that we have multiple conflated meanings.

"Thingy is blue". (nominative connection)

"Thingy is presenting". (helper verb)

"Thingy is." (existence)

Other languages separate them and so can have more logical agreement.

Who is "the wider Physics community", and what do they have to do with it? Do we expect someone in solid state physics to be driving the directions of research into numerical relativity in vacuum higher dimensional spacetimes? Or a general-relativist deciding on the merits of a doctoral dissertation presented in nonlinear optics?

Every point but one in the comment you replied to is as far as I know found in one or more standard graduate-level textbooks on gravitation (even "Teaching tradition!" is paraphrased from Kaiser's MTW preface). If you like I can direct you to them; they are all much more interesting than my HN comment(s).

(The exception is my point on lattice methods in numerical relativity, for which you will need a specialist graduate textbook like Baumgarte & Shapiro.)
>They'd rather make a quick buck and disregard the fact that this takes away our government's sovereignty.

This isn't true. For every person buying Bitcoin thinking they are hedging themselves against inflation there is someone who sells Bitcoin because they think the exact opposite. So this doesn't take the government's sovereignty because someone ends up with a lot of USD at the other end and you can still apply things like negative interest rates on accounts with huge balances.

Ironically Bitcoin is a very poor inflation hedge because of its periodic bubbles and extreme volatility. The bubble can pop exactly the moment inflation goes up and ruin the "hedge" until the next bubble exceeds the current all time high again.

Most interpretations of QM make identical predictions for the outcome of any possible experiment. This makes the field fundamentally philosophical rather than scientific.
That may be the one. I've read about this years ago in a book about forsaken people and shipwrecks, I'll have to dig out the book :)
Because it's hard. There are even professionals who think all day long how to name things (advertisement and marketing industry). A little open source project doesn't have the resources for that.

This reminds me of the piano teacher (danthecomposer) I am following on youtube:
he calls his approach a "philosophical approach" to learning the piano and to me it seems quite influenced by daoism or zen.

he puts heavy emphasis on practicing with your eyes closed from the beginning. this becomes possible through visualizing scales and chords from the beginning.

other aspects are: getting your ego out of the way, trusting in you inherent musicality and allowing you creative source to steer your fingers to express your emotions and avoiding conscious interference. there is also a lot of simple improvisation inside a chord from the beginning.

i cant speak for the long term success of his technique, but i like the approach and it makes sense to me with respect to other skills i have aquired before.

his youtube channel is a bit hard to navigate but this playlist is a good starting point:

he also has a blog:

The problem here is that pi shows up in a lot of places that have nothing to do with circles, and in those places tau does not do better (it frequently does worse). It's just not worth the hassle to make it the default, and I say this as someone who celebrates tau day every year (but I call it "my birthday" instead :P)
It's interesting that all of these points talk about the speed of taking items out of the backlog but not about the speed at which they are added. Any team can be made to fall behind by unrealistic management action.
> Interesting as this is, the article nurtures an old misconception (with roots both in religion and classical philosophy) that there are some traits that distinctly separates humans from other animals, and by extension, finding the time when humans developed that trait is when we became truly humans. In reality the evidence reveals that all such traits, be it burial, toolmaking, artistry, abstract thinking etc, is something we share with other species to varying degrees. To the extent we have any unique such traits currently that radically sets us apart from other species then it has been a long and gradual process over eons.

Both these things can be true.

There are traits that distinctly separate us .. which have also developed gradually over a long period of time.

I think the article is acknowledging a common behaviour between humans and a distance relative to humans; if anything it's backing up your assertion that development has occurred over a long and gradual process.
>How did the bailouts in 2008 help the vulnerable people who were subjected to predatory loans and lost their homes?

They didn't but they kept the banking infrastructure alive. What I never understand however is that the government doesn't give that bailout money in exchange for newly issued shares which they then sell for a profit once the bank is back on its feet.

NOTE: I really do not want to start a flamewar. Nationalistic opinions are uninteresting.

Seeing as:

* China has been doing this for a while, but it was not publicized until now

* China is becoming a geopolitical enemy of the West

* The story seemed to spread like wildfire in many places (which just means it went viral and is circumstantial)

It really seems like there is further reason to this. That, or media knows it could score easy clicks.

It's not exactly the only instance of this happening. I'm just stating the obvious but it does make me think. Who exactly, if anybody, is doing this and how?
For sure, I just found it a bit silly to single out one artist as a lost savior when other musical geniuses came in to fill that gap and didn't manage to "fix" things either.

As much as I agree with the idea that Hendrix' would have given us so much more if he had lived, I doubt he would have been able to single-handedly stop the music industry from pushing their own (segregated) pop music narrative everyone's throat. Systemic problems need to be solved at that systemic level.
They are just action at a distance, which was used much earlier than QM and GR to depict basically anything that didn’t require physical contact like gravity and electromagnetism.

“Distance” is still a factor in fields hence locality, the action isn’t instantaneous and is governed by the universal speed limit and the amplitude is also affected by distance.

Entanglement works instantly and regardless of distance hence the spooky part.

It’ll keep being a piece of cake until you buy something from a scammer amazon merchant with no one to appeal.

One of the best things I like about my local small businesses is that I don’t need to worry about choices. I just show up with a problem and they will always solve it for me costing me way less than I had budgeted.

I didn’t mean to dismiss their conclusions! It might be a pretty awesome discovery actually: eat delicious sardines and avoid getting diabetes? Count me in!

Over the years I've seen a number of similar articles on pi and tau but I reckon this one is by far the most comprehensive. All have the same thread and it's a shame that tau and pi weren't reversed in meaning from the outset as clearly this would have simplified many things. For example (as the article mentions) the number of times I've see this
ℏ=h/2π explained or alternatively its explanation omitted when it should have been explained is numerous. With tau, all that could have been omitted.

Moreover, it seems to me that starting with tau is more logical in that a circle results from the rotation of the radius, still nothing will change as pi is so absolutely entrenched.
This is a great article, one I wished I read a long time ago after a lot of inefficient learning.

One thing I'm still keeping an eye out for is how to best learn when time is limited.

As I get older, free time is at a premium, with job/kids/life/etc. meaning that some days even 20m practice is a luxury.
So I've always been curious how to make the most of that and unexpected slots of free time.

Should I just work on technical exercises/scales? Have a set of things written down to work on in case free time appears? Follow the advice in the article? Or accept that nothing worthwhile can be done in such short time and noodle around?
I believe that some cryptos have some innovation and bring some utility (Ethereum smart contracts for example) BUT most of it is just a huge Ponzi scheme derived from cheap and abundant money (low interest rates and easy credit).

I remembered about +- 10 years a go in Portugal, everyone started talking and participating in this Pyramid scheme game, called "The Bubble/Ball Game" with the only difference in being presented as concentric circles instead of a pyramid:

Boom! Right at the same time the last big bubble in US (subprime crisis).

This proves not only that low interests and easy credit spreads between asset classes, but also between geographies.
Each day it passes, the worst the burst of the bubble will be for EVERYONE.

Of course the most difficult part is to guess when, it can be tomorrow or it can be in 2 years, and knowing that the latest stages the most outrageous are the returns, we still could be 50%/100%/200% from the top.

For me, I'm almost all invested in S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, they would also be affected when the bubble burst, but at least I will have productive assets generating cash-flows and selling actual things that people want and need, instead of gold-like (or with even less utility than gold) "tokens".

The difference is Bitcoin is much more widely used for payments. It now has a second layer payment protocol, which makes transactions fast and cheap, while remaining permissionless.

Sardines are a household favorite for us. My kids love them.

The secret is, don't buy cheap ones. Look for brisling or any other small fish packed in olive oil. $3-5/can is a good sweet spot, although you can pay $9 for a can of imported Portuguese sardines no problem.

Speaking of Portugal, they do grilled fresh sardines. My 3 year old insisted on eating them daily when we were in Lisbon
It's thought yes:

Continuing my explanation from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27094602

"A 'prion' is a misfolding protein that encourages other proteins of the same type to misfold in the same way - maybe by acting as an incorrect template for folding."

So, if you introduce a human prion - here by eating a human and perhaps brain in particular - it will potentially start this process by acting as a first template.

(Other animal prions are typically less likely to start this process, since animal proteins will likely be too different)

> We used to love object oriented modeling with inheritance hierarchies, until the point we realized how it was so hard to have any hierarchy perfectly match a given domain.

You're describing a (for the lack of a better term) "fad cycle". Our industry, like all, goes through cycles where a given practice is declares holy and sacrosanct, doctrine evolves around it, eventually flaws in the idealistic view appear and because the entire foundation before was "this is flawless and essential" and turns out it's not flawless and essential, the practice is wholly rejected. It's swinging to extremes. Neither of which is useful.

Experienced developers neither considered inheritance crucial property of OOP, nor they avoid it completely now.

Inheritance is static decoration. Decoration is a form of composition. It's all forms of the same thing, where you can make some choices AOT and some choices JIT and you pay for AOT vs JIT in terms of ending up with a different performance/flexibility balance.
Uhh, you realize Libgen has a fiction section (among other things), right?
It's not explicitly stated, but I believe the author's point is that the original question didn't require a recursive solution (because it's only asking about individual tags, not matching opening tags with their closing partners)

Edit: yes looking at the answers, someone pointed this out in a comment response to the"Chomsky" answer:

> The OP is asking to parse a very limited subset of XHTML: start tags. What makes (X)HTML a CFG is its potential to have elements between the start and end tags of other elements (as in a grammar rule A -> s A e). (X)HTML does not have this property within a start tag: a start tag cannot contain other start tags. The subset that the OP is trying to parse is not a CFG. – LarsH Mar 2 '12 at 8:43
