I started reading this post, following along just fine, then the notation and terminology entered, and I started looking it up, ok, following along still but it is hard, then it quickly devolved where I didn't understand anything, and I felt really bad.

Then saw the first comment by Terry Tao and felt a lot better.

This creates a very significant passenger challenge. How do the customers know which train to get on and what if they get on the even stop and need to get off an odd stop? They have to change train. If they can't pass each other then they don't save much time.

In NY, the expresses are easier to understand because the rules are very simple.
Exactly: if implemented right and there's no gap between the menu and the top of the screen where the cursor does nothing, then you can just mostly jam the mouse in the general direction of the menu item.

Notably, Microsoft managed to bungle this initially in Windows with the task bar: there was a one-pixel gap between the buttons and the bottom of the screen, so you had to aim for the buttons or to readjust the cursor each time. (Though personally I find the downward motion more awkward anyway, both because the wrist action is weird and because the wrist and the wrist support are in the way.)

Git is (has been) in the process of rewriting many shell commands etc in C. There are a few reasons for this, but part of the reason is to make Git more portable.

This work is slow, and a lot of the progress seems to be driven by the Google Summer of Code program (sort of like open source interns), so I suspect it will be a while before all the shell scripts are rewritten.
I'd worry that the improved farming techniques will not facilitate a release of land back to wild, but would simply intensify whatever acreage is already farmed + whatever new ground anyone can justify (like anywhere else I'm aware of).

I assume they will require an account of some sort, and their DB will inevitably be breached to leak it who knows where. It knows more about me than my location. Probably. I don't know what all the proprietary software running on my portable sensor suite does or knows.

And almost without fail corporate one-off apps are bloated piles of contracted out and barely maintained garbage taking up too much space when a couple of forms and a few Mb of graphics/logos would do. Lastly very few actually work well or reliably, logging me out after needless updates seems to be a common pattern.

Yes. In my eyes, the original Lyme vaccine was the first casualty of the modern anti-vax movement.

They claimed that the vaccine gave them Lyme when really the vaccine gave them an immune response for a few days... as vaccines should. Through a huge amount of media attention they scared away the pharma company, they stopped marketing, sales tanked, the vax was pulled. No medical issues with the vaccine were ever discovered.
There are two relatively straightforward things you can do that will help the situation: (a) vote, and (b) campaign to move to get some form of proportional representation become the voting system in your state, both for statewide and national elections.

A major reason why you've entrenched interests is that they have safe seats they can depend on. The US has major issues with acts of gerrymandering that create those safe seats. Most forms of PR are much more resistant to gerrymandering than FPTP is. And if you want people who'll do something regarding healthcare costs, you need to get rid of those safe seats and make them accountable.

Yep. 2013 era Tinder was a completely different world than today.
This is the way we defeat stalker capitalists who are trading trinkets to the natives for land. The core functionality of FaceCrook, Twatter and Instaglam doesn't require $billions. The data we pay for these services is worth so much more that the exchange is essentially theft.

As a big fan of Ruby how does this tap into the elegance of Ruby? Ruby is readable, this is not. In Ruby it's very difficult to write code that makes people suffer greatly to understand, this seems to be the opposite.

The article says that deforestation peaked 30-40 years ago.

"Global forest loss peaked in the 1980s – losing an area half the size of India. Since then, deforestation has slowed. In fact, many countries have now reversed the long-term trend and transitioned to a net gain of forests, reforestation."

So clearly something is working. A lot of the responses are assuming that deforestation rate of growth is continuing or even accelerating, especially the random remarks attributing deforestation to all sorts of things. The world is on a re-forestation trend, according to the article.

Right! Practice can get you very far, until it doesn't, this is when theory comes in to give you perspective and provides new approaches to try and practice.

It's not one way or the other, but there is perhaps a tendency to overestimate one and underestimate the other, especially in relation to ability. I for example have the tendency to feel as if I get something when I read theory, when in fact I need deliberate practice to really get it. For me, doing means understanding. Others might overestimate what they know because they are so good at what they do (in the way they do it) etc. It's psychological traps and Dunning Kruger Effects all over the place!

We may have some kind of disconnect. The most common resume is written in "implied first person", and not "first person", so the "I" in most lines is implied. Examples:

Developed a web app in Python that ....

Authored a playbook for...

So it's still considered "first person" by most, but the pronoun is dropped.

Can I be sure that no using "I" on resumes is a "big component" for my success? Of course I can't be 100% sure, and my ability to highlight accomplishments is probably far more important.

But I was a recruiter for 20 years, and I know that 95% of resumes I saw during my career (easily in the tens of thousands) were written in implied first person, and when you send someone a resume that continuously uses "I" it is a bit of a shock to the system (just as it would be to see third person).

I'll tell you what, let's save us both some time. Go to Google and just search "resume", and use image search. I just went through the first page of results, and I didn't see a single resume written in first person (using "I"). Not one.

Attractive women get a lot more attention than attractive men. I think that's common knowledge and is the manifestation of our biology: Men's drive to "chase" women is higher. Testosterone is a hell of a drug.

Also, from a reproductive standpoint, women are more valuable. Men's sperm is plentiful. Women's egg and 9 months commitment is the bottleneck. So of course some interesting power dynamics come with that.

Simply `<img>` elements should be fine for most use cases. WebGL could be used if you need much more fine grained control over the rendering — e.g. custom resampling when resizing like Lanczos filter, special effects, etc. It could also be better for performance but it's not certain and depends on the use case.
Possibly. Certainly in the US we have regained forest as marginal farmland was allowed to revert to forest or in some cases converted to forest so that now many places that are conservation land wildernesses are forested as opposed to grazing land and farmland.

On the other hand, a growing population means more demand for wood products (for building, for furniture, etc) and the alternative, plastics, are quite problematic.
Not necessarily. I definitely make more than most (non-US) software engineers as a DS, but agree that finance pays a lot more than other areas.
I agree with the systemic problem that our healthcare system doesn't want to get to the bottom of symptoms. It drives me crazy, especially the "most cancer is treatable if caught early, but no we won't give you a diagnostic test to actually catch cancer early". I have direct experience with this, pushing through multiple doctors that ended with my thyroid cancer diagnosis.

My doctor at the time was actually really good, not because he was good at diagnosing, but he had enough experience to recognize his inability to do so and would always send me to an expert. He literally was 100% wrong about all of my major diagnoses (my hurt knee actually was a torn ACL, my abdominal pain actually was a hernia, my throat nodule actually was cancer), but he always sent me to a specialist to be sure. And he knew really good specialists. "I don't think it is X, but lets have a specialist verify" was his common refrain.

But, yeah, the system sucks now.

New clean energy tech extracts twice power from ocean waves
People who are skeptical about the effectiveness of, say, the Covid vaccine are passionate about sharing what they've thought of, uncovered, or believe they've uncovered. People who believe that the vaccine is effective and worthwhile appear to be... less enthusiastic about backing up their claims. They'd rather just ban the people who disagree with them than address them in debate.

Why is it that, consistently, on specific issues that come up over and over again, the side labelled "disinformation" is so willing to spend so much time explaining rationally why they believe what they believe while the other side is always so uninterested in making their case?

Same story here. I moved from CA to WA on Jan 4 of one year where that meant I worked a total of two days in CA for that calendar year and it took me at least 4 years of threatening letters and never-ending phone calls before they gave up their claim that I owed CA taxes for half that new year.

Lit (which evolved out of Google's Polymer project) has many of the same goals of the Imba project and tries to reduce the spaghetti of something like AngularJS.

It handles CSS by letting you define it in within an individual component (file) but also import a style from another file. That way, your shared styles are in one place and only the overrides or extra styles needed for a special component are in its file.

I think it's wonderful!

Not to denigrate this project in any way, but most or all of its goals are already met by Lit[0]. Instead of a new language, it uses regular TS and regular CSS.

At any sufficiently large company, the connection between my work and the stock price is loose at best. If you're an executive, it might be more direct. But in the public companies I have been an employee of, I have never felt a shred of motivation from this stock-based "ownership" in the sense of a true belief that doing better work will make that stock be worth more. In the aggregate, yes, but individually, no.
You were careful with your claims, and I can understand your desire to defend the reputation of the regular uniforms.

This is somewhat incorrect. Not all vaccines include a sample of the virus they're protecting against (see the mRNA vaccines for covid-19).

Also for some viruses (again see covid-19), it's still advisable to get a vaccine even if you've already been infected. The protection rate and longevity of the vaccines can outweigh infection based antibodies dramatically.

In the case of HIV, it's potentially quite different, because HIV is such a unique disease, that yeah, a vaccine might not help anyway. But otherwise, your comment doesn't apply to vaccines in general (and it didn't seem like you were replying towards any specifics of HIV)
By that logic we shouldn't use a vaccine for most illnesses since they are not heart disease...

After all, we are only saving a small cities worth of people per year.

It's always cost-benefit. Relative risk of side effect directly relates to likelihood.

Risk of side effects vs benefit of vaccine.

I am not likely to take an HIV vaccine, since my personal chance of contracting HIV is incredibly low. So any side effect isn't "worth it" -- even a sore arm. But that doesn't mean I'm anti-vaccine.

I also don't wear a bullet proof vest around because it's too heavy ("side effect"). Does that mean I'm anti-bullet proof vest? No. But I would wear a bullet proof vest in a war zone -- even if it's heavy.

If there was a widespread small pox outbreak in the U.S., I'm certain more than 10% of physicians would take the vaccine. Does that mean they were lying before? No.
Ah thanks - well, perhaps the mark was just my body reacting to its beginning attempt to attach.
As the article describes, the story is more complicated than that:

> Despite its shortcomings, Lymerix was initially popular. By July 2000, more than one million doses had been distributed. But safety concerns eventually sank the vaccine. While the FDA panel that approved Lymerix did so unanimously, several members wondered whether the vaccine might cause an autoimmune reaction leading to arthritis. A section of OspA resembles a human protein that modulates the immune response, and the concern of some on the FDA panel was that, after vaccination, the immune system would overcorrect and fight off not only the OspA protein that covered the bacteria, but also that human protein. Nothing like this occurred in Lymerix’s clinical trials.

> Shortly after Lymerix hit the market, those worries emerged nonetheless. Some recipients reported joint pain and arthritis, symptoms they blamed on the vaccine itself. The FDA found only 59 such adverse events out of 1.4 million doses administered, and did not find direct scientific evidence that the Lyme vaccine had caused them. Still, the questions over possible unintended effects were enough to dampen enthusiasm, especially after 121 Lymerix recipients filed a class-action lawsuit against the vaccine’s manufacturer. SmithKline Beecham, projecting sales of only 10,000 doses in 2002, decided to withdraw Lymerix from the market in February of that year. (The lawsuit was settled one year later, with more than $1 million paid out by the pharmaceutical company to cover the prosecuting lawyers’ fees, but no financial compensation was awarded to the plaintiffs.)

The new treatment in development avoids the problem by directly injecting antibodies instead of stimulating the immune system to create the antibodies as Lymerix did.
Employers or users can pay the withdrawal fee, that's up to the company. We encourage companies to offer it as financial benefit. Regardless, users love our product and see a lot of value in getting the flexibility to decide when to get paid. In contrast to other options in the market there are no interest payments or hidden costs.
Sometimes I find it a little depressing that (at least through my laymen eyes) we are nearing a technological plateau and that more research into physics is unlikely to get us to a world describe in traditional science fiction with FTL drives and large metal spaceships that can take you from planet to planet.
