You go to all the trouble to type up a smart ass response to show how smart you are with being able to use a search engine, yet you totally fail to provide the link which you found. This quote is meaningless without context of what study you found.
To be clear, the staff in coffee shops do ask you if it's your first time and give you guidelines for how to use them safely, and usually informative leaflets are attached. At least in tourist places.
Worth noting that this minimizes expected error. IMO, it's much more common to want to minimize maximum (worst-case) error, which requires an algorithm like Remez exchange. You can modify this algorithm to work with relative error (as suggested in the article) instead of absolute error.
Seems like Spanish to me?
There's a local university that uses this method to cool their musical performance space, which causes it to be comfortably cold but without the noise of AC.
It's not just about trust in the therapist. Music plays a huge role. In fact, I've recently heard a psychedelic researcher say that he now thinks of psychedelic therapy as a form of music therapy done with psychedelics.

It's also important to be in a safe, comfortable place, without people you don't intimately trust around, at a time when you can just focus on yourself on the day of the experience and ideally at least a day or two afterwards.
Also much like Dwarves we don't live in harmony with nature, but for our environment to our liking. And occasionally we are too greedy and cause some disaster or another.
When you want to view (or display) all possible combinations.

It doesn't make much sense for example with relations that describe things that happened or are (facts). For example you wouldn't cross join a users and addresses table.

But when relations are composable, say a product with selectable features, then it can make sense to cross join.

An example:

You ask a user a few questions and want to suggest a solution or product based on the combinations of the answers. The suggestions are provided by domain experts in advance.

In this case you might want to use a cross join to provide a matrix of all combinations to your domain experts. They can fill in valid suggestions for some and invalid ones for others.

Based on their input you can now automatically generate a questionnaire.
It's great fun - it was going to be changed when the joint airport was planned with a relief road going around and under it, in a way, I'm glad they didn't do that.

It's also the runway for the RAF base, and holds the record for airport closest to the town centre it serves, at 500m.
It would make more sense to compare population density over that fraction of each country which has any coverage at all.

That would be harder, of course.
Another instance of the Celebration Parallax.
Well last time there was a "successor problem" China went through a decade-long political and economic turmoil that was the Cultural Revolution.

Having experienced that first hand, Deng implemented the term limit, so that there won't be a position of absolute power for the rest of one's life (it's just too much a temptation and thus recipe for chaos every 20-30 years or so).

Now that the term limit is gone, I don't think the transition would be as smooth as the past two decades.
It would basically be a phase change cooler like the one used in a fridge. Very efficient, but quite big and unwieldy.
Exactly - in the modern world if we chose to say tackle climate crisis like the moon shot or wwII production was tackled, we would likely cause a massive step up in labor consumption of educated elite. Maybe the core problem is one not of overproduction of one of poor allocation choices for how to use human capital in failing societies.
That is a smooth site. I like how you can suggest edits to their articles right in google docs.

I re-read the first paragraph a few times and finally figured out "hubster" means "her husband" (I think...). There might be some value in here, but I couldn't get through the writing.

This looks great! Looking forward to try it out in my next Python project
I've spent a lot of time in Gibraltar and it's an interesting place - you either love it, or hate it, there doesn't seem to be any inbetween.

Palm Trees and what look like British Bobbies, the duty free shops on the high street, the fabulous caves - there's a lot in such a small place.

Standard use case for hardlinks is replacing a file atomically while creating a backup. The steps you do are:

1. create, write, close/sync "file.new"

2. hardlink "file" to "file.old" and sync again

3. rename "file.new" to "file"

4. sync to finish

With these steps, regardless of where you are interrupted, you always have a "functioning" copy of the file. This is quite important for tools writing configuration files or state to disk, but also just your plain old office suite preventing total loss of your PhD thesis.

(Yes it's not perfect, sync()ing correctly is hard [you need to sync the files and the directory!], and hard filesystem damage/kernel panics can always break things.)
Well it comes from a common idiom, though I'm not sure it's from confucius[0].

Basically, if you're working at a firm which doesn't specialize in networking, but you really care about networking, you'll probably be the smartest person in the room with regards to that. In general it's when you're not learning from your coworkers, but also when you're not doing things that push forward your knowledge as well (hence the research caveat) or with lots of autonomy.

That said, it depends on what your career goals are -- if you're dedicated to craftsmanship, then managing people isn't necessarily your interest. If you're interested in being a leader, then that is somewhat at odds with focusing only on craftsmanship, etc.

> I find myself trending to learning more about people and teaching even though staying on the individual contributor track. It's not that there isn't more to learn but the development methods become well known.

Another platitude/saying is that teaching is the best way to learn -- reaching mastery that enables you to teach is great, and if you like to teach then it's fantastic, but what lies beyond mastery is research, so it's more of a question of if you want to do that or not, or if you're at a local minima (or really a local knowledge boundary) in relation to your knowledge. If you think it's a local minima then maybe it's time to move to a company which does more of what you're interested in, if not, then you spend your time researching (and/or teaching others).

Politicians could be treated like students: below a certain attendance rate or failed pop quiz they "fail the class".

Lack of attendance or lack of understanding of the discussion they vote on greatly undermines the already narrow interpretation of democracy we do have. It means that not only are "the people" in no way in power, most don't even have a representative in any reasonable interpretation. They are physically not in the room to contribute to the decision, or don't understand their own choice.

A very small minority of representatives gets to decide for a large majority of people they don't representnt.
I fully agree. We need to get rid of p-values because they don't mean what people think they do. And simulation helps set a realistic baseline expectation (instead of the "null effect" in NHST).

Another important approach here is specification curve analysis, which also explores the plausible range of effects to be found [1].

Ask HN: How do I give up on wanting to be a founder
Everyday I wake up scroll Twitter and read TechCrunch seeing all these people talk about their funding, building their ideas and getting them accepted by the world. I want to be like them but every idea I’ve had hasn’t taken off or I’m afraid is in a industry that is too hard requires too much funding. At 26 I feel like if it was gonna happen I would at least have something by now having dreamt of this since I was like 19 but nothing. Idk I just feel like these thoughts are consuming me and I need to let go of this dream for a bit. How can I do this? Any advice?
Cross Join is also called Cartesian Join.

A (vague, handwavy) use case would be if you had a table of Towns, and a table of Pizza_Chains; by iterating over the joined table, you would see every permutation of Towns and Pizza_Chains, and (by inputting address info) you could produce a new table giving the address for each Pizza_Chain in each Town.

The cross-join would be used once, to create the new table. You want to use cross joins as little as possible, so a single-use cross join is reasonable. I admit it's a pretty stretched example; I suspect a better example might be found in a more abstract field, like maths, but I'm not feeling abstract enough right now to work one out.

You make a cross join like this:

SELECT Towns.id, Towns.name, Pizza_Chains.id, Pizza_Chains.name
FROM Towns, Pizza_Chains

I.e. you simply don't have a WHERE clause.

I don't think I've ever had occasion to use a cross join. It's not a very useful query, because the resultset doesn't give you any information - or rather, it tells you every possible result you could get, if you tried the query with every possible WHERE clause.
Only Netflix content is worse than their algorithms. I've completely stopped surfing the platform and stick to my own watchlist or search for specific movies based on the recommendation lists out there.

Yeah... The US will invade countries for no reason but the trillions spent are added to the backs of our own citizens.

Iraq and Afghanistan aren't paying us the trillions we've wasted these past decades.
Self-driving cars were already 'pretty wild' tech in 1950s. The tech might be a little more practical today, but it is a very old concept.

"In the 1950s, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) believed it had the self-driving car buckled up and locked down. The company’s quarterly magazine, Electronic Age , featured its vision of the “highway of the future” in its January 1958 issue."

"About two and a half years later, reporters experienced the highway themselves on a test track located in Princeton, NJ. The cars drove themselves around the track, using sensors on their front bumpers to detect an electrical cable embedded in the road. The cable was equipped with signals warning of obstructions ahead, such as a stalled vehicle or road work, and the cars would autonomously brake or switch lanes, depending on what was up the road. A receiver on the dashboard would also interrupt the vehicle’s radio to announce information about upcoming exits."

I would venture most people in the US simply do not (or forgo) adequately saving or investing for the future, especially for their years after age 50.

There are quite a bit of subsidies available though if you're in the bottom ~5 income deciles:

https://www.healthcare.gov/glossary/subsidized-coverage/

I think you get screwed roughly in the 6th to 8th income decile range, where you are not rich enough to be able to weather a calamity, but you are also earning too much to get assistance. A lot of people fall back down to the bottom deciles trying to move up to the top deciles if/when something goes wrong, but life is pretty nice for those that do make it.
Yes, it is. Gibraltar is British, so most things are named in English, especially significant things.

The local Spanish dialect - Llanito - would also refer to it as Punta de Europa, but that doesn't much change what it's actually called on the map, etc.
All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace by Richard Brautigan (1967)

I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammals and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.

I like to think
(right now, please!)
of a cybernetic forest
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.

I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.
It may support that, but the tethered hotspot mentioned previously works perfectly well without this library for me on my Mac. When tethered together and hotspot enabled, I can use the iPhone's cellular data with no wifi on the Mac at all.
> Unfortunately, this only works for functions of one argument, because each WeakMap key must be one object. If you wish to memoize (x, y) => {...}, you'd need a WeakMap whose keys are xs, and whose values are WeakMaps whose keys are ys. This would only work well if y changes frequently but x does not.

Can someone explain why we couldn't concat / hash the incoming arguments and use those as the cache key? My understanding is that the cache key needs to be unique for its inputs, e.g. slow(1, 2) and slow(2, 1) would still give unique key values.

Edit: nevermind I think this is due to the core concept of WeakMaps, which I've never encountered, from the article:

> This is a key/value map that can hold data, but which does not own its keys. This means any record inside will be garbage collected unless another part of the program is also holding on to the same key.
Why are we talking about the market cap of a newly listed company on HN? I thought such stories 'mostly aren't substantive enough to make interesting HN threads' and are generally 'too repetitive to be interesting'.

Compressors (the biggest power usage in an A/C) have gotten more efficient, plus they remove the fans in favor of dumping heat straight into the ground. That's about it, it's still basically an A/C unit.
>That's like saying "Amazon knowing where to ship my package is surveillance."

To complete the metaphor Amazon would use the address you gave them to help improve their business in some sense without asking you if it's okay. Similar to how web masters don't ask if it's okay if they write what pages we access into logs is okay.

>Knowing the attacker's IP addresses doesn't do you any good... because they can just keep using new IP addresses, and blocking the old ones doesn't do any good.

Then we should try to find any patterns with the traffic that we can use to try and filter it out. This is a place where fingerprinting is useful.

This just slows down bot spam instead of testing if someone is a bot. Someone posting spam to your site once a minute is still annoying.
Is English a second language for you? I ask not because I am trying to insult, but what you are describing is just called geothermal heat in North America. It can also work in reverse if the air temperature is higher than the ground temperature.

Also, you have your units wrong. Electrical demand is measured in just kilowatts (kw). Actual usage is in kilowatts-hours (kwh) which is just an unusual way of saying joules.
Damn, you're a great writer.

Comparing this succinct but informative post and your Quora post makes that very clear.
Most people can’t afford to take the cheaper option, because it makes their expenses unpredictable. You need money in the bank if you want to do that.
Agreed.

Remember the dark pattern of "To which of these Google contacts would you like us to send an invite?" Then they would show a list of what was apparently about 10 people, prechecked, and you would uncheck the ones you did not want to include. But hidden below the fold, this list was actually all of your Google contacts. Selecting send would blast your entire contact list. Including exes, their exes, people with whom one might be in a legal dispute, mistaken emails, people you had to fire, or got fired by. A goddamned disaster, that was.

I think there's a simpler way to achieve this. Force companies who leak personal data to pay reasonable damages to all the individuals involved, on the scale of 10-100 dollars, depending on how much personal info has been leaked.

That would make businesses very quickly reassess how much data they need to keep, and how careful they need to be with it, without requiring any really radical legislation.
I’d settle for being able to filter out movies that are not available in my language.
There’s a lot of hidden correlations in that stat.

It’s almost certain that it includes individuals who went on to get MBAs which open big doors in terms of compensation. Would love to see how this stat breaks down by cohort.

I was curious if Haiti's political system was like India's - where the President is a figurehead position and the Prime minister has the practical authority, or if it was like the US - with President at the helm. It seems like it's a bit of both, a "semi-presidential" system like France. Wikipedia says the President is the "head of state" and the Prime minister is the "head of government"... but that doesn't really help me understand the role and powers of each in practice.

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
In C if you pass a pointer to double to a function expecting a pointer to int, that is a constraint violation (see 6.5.16.1 in the standard), and the compiler is required to emit a diagnostic.
In Oracle in some cases cross join works as cross apply, so you can cross join table A with table-returning structure and have it compute column based on table A.
I will employ a spy/cop to follow you everywhere and log everything you do in detail, would you consider it a surveillance? Of course, he will refrain from listening to you talking and won't enter your home. But everywhere else he will follow you at a distance.

This is essentially what is going on in the internet. Metadata collection = Surveillance.
Exposing is not the same as collecting though...

I'd definitely consider a system which collects all information that are exposed in a TCP stream a surveillance tool
I'm sorry but I'm going to provide negative feedback here which I feel kind of guilty about because clearly a lot of work has gone into building this.

The first thing I didn't like is that from the photos on your website it didn't look like it has a mac-like UI.

I downloaded it anyway to have a look and then noticed the application is 460 megabytes. Mail.app and MailMate are each only 28mb. I'm guessing a web based technology was used to build the app which also means that it's going to run really slow on one of my older Macs.

Finally when I launched the app the first thing it did before even opening a window was ask me for my admin password in order to make a modification to my keychain. I clicked cancel at that point and the program didn't open.

This is not such a huge issue in practice. It is often enough to step through the debugger and see exactly what is failing.

In conjunction with scope-capture, it is trivial to run that failing code again to have a closer look, and modify it to your liking till it runs as expected.

There are also conditional restart systems for Clojure that offer much more than this.
In addition to the comment salamandersauce made in reply to yours, I'd also add that comparing the raw population density of the province of Ontario like that is highly misleading. There's absolutely massive tracts of land that are largely uninhabited up north and something like 95% of the population lives along the great lakes, the American border, or the Ottawa river, comprising approximately 30% of the land within the boundaries of the province.

The population density of the areas people live (that actually have telco service) is much much much higher than 14 people per sq. km.

The Greater Toronto Area has a population density of 849/sq. km[1]. Why are its prices not lower than, or at least comparable to all of Europe?

The Western concept of freedom in many western tradition definitely assumes that the person exercising the freedom knows what is best for them. Actually, this is how we in the West operatively define utility, not as what you actively need but as what you think you need.

Which as the OP underlined is exactly why advertising for example in the Western economic tradition brings positive utility, because we assume that people know what is useful to them.

Beyond that, it's simply incorrect that our "freedom" means we aren't subordinate to the wills of society - we are, because we require resources to survive which the state has ordained are controlled by other people, which requires ourselves to subordinate to the will of others. No matter how you get around it, as long as you have property you are doomed to live a subordinate life unless you're very lucky. This is a false dichotomy written by people who didn't rid themselves of religious doctrine enough to understand that negative rights cannot exist without a violent state instead of being simply inherent.

Beyond that, limiting restrictions on businesses is philosophically the same as restricting individuals, businesses are simply collections of individuals. Crucially though businesses are already functionally almost completely restricted to the profit motive, but that's an effect of the property system and of the role of the state more than anything else.
Most other states don't house the only two relevant mobile OS vendors either.
