On the PHP api, you're returning 0 when there's a failure. You also return 0 when there is no such key on a get().

That isn't a great idea, since that would mean no discernable difference from

- An error, like a network error

- No such key exists

- Key did exist, and it's value was 0, though I suppose I could test the type with gettype()? Seems odd to return an int instead of a boolean though.

For comparison, the phpredis api raises an exception for errors and returns a boolean false if no such key exists.

According to Wikipedia [1], LEO is up to 2000km, though e.g. the ISS is at about 400km; geostationary orbit is 35,768 km. Minimum difference in orbital length is 2 pi times 33,768km.

So the obvious case for geostationary orbits is significantly better than for LEO.

Nevertheless, LEO isn't bad. A height of 400 km translates into a circle of about 42,655 km (orbital length of ISS according to NASA). That is enough to park several satellites in without them being parked bumper to bumper.

The original argument is essentially "if this action is so easy then how can you make it illegal?" which is not a very good argument as pointed out. Your argument is about the morality of this action which is quite different.
I really, really hope this succeeds and I wish frame.work the absolute best. The world needs this.
How well did the note taking service retain the material?
As someone with a philosophy degree this isn't a great list. Most of the recommended readings seem like random textbooks they found. It's pretty light on actual source material, and when they do list it, it's a bit bizarre, like recommending "On Formally Undecidable Propositions of Principia Mathematica and Related Systems" for philosophy of mathematics (Not that I think it's not worth reading, but not as your introduction to philos of math!), or recommending Kuhn as a supplemental reading, but not Popper, Bacon, Hume, etc.

FWIW, for philosophy of mathematics, I'd recommend reading "Introduction To Mathematical Philosophy" by Bertrand Russell. The recommendation of The Frege Reader is actually good, but I'd recommend watching some lectures or something as well, otherwise it'll be a difficult read.
Some ideas.

- VMs for testing eat up memory fast.
- A deep disk IO cache dramatically speeds up some workloads, even if processes aren't allocating the memory themselves.
- Running a bunch of microservices locally (we have a webpack-based app that eats 16GiB easy - yes, yes... we're working on it).

I think 64 is a bit extreme these days for a personal computer if you're not running a stack of VMs. Servers are a different story, of course.
But the whole point is that someone is paying for that increase unless actions are taken to reduce the cost. Like, if laptops started to cost $10,000 each, we could say that people need them and have the government subsidize computers (in which case the taxpayer pays), we could have individuals pay the added cost (the reaction to rising university costs), or we could attempt to push the price of laptops down.

In either of the first two cases, someone is paying the exorbitant prices. In my mind, the question is less "Should taxpayers help fund education" and more "Why is the cost of education such a burden to begin with".
On the other hand, this meta study found 20 mechanisms of action by ivermectin against covid and general efficacy as treatment.

As if the housing situation in high-demand markets isn't already a problem. Yup, there's not enough housing for folks, so let's make it easier for people with the means to own more than one home. No Thanks.

I also don't buy their argument that this isn't a timeshare.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeshare:

> A timeshare (sometimes called vacation ownership) is a property with a divided form of ownership or use rights. These properties are typically resort condominium units, in which multiple parties hold rights to use the property, and each owner of the same accommodation is allotted their period of time.

...and here's how Pacaso is explained, in the article:

> If you buy a share in a house, you're able to stay in it 44 nights per year in increments that can't exceed 14 consecutive days per visit.

This sounds like the same thing to me, regardless of how you try to package it.

I suppose the legality will probably involve an interpretation of what "ownership" means. Pacaso's legal team will clearly be working hard to distinguished their notion of "ownership" from that of a timeshare. They'll probably focus on the fact that it's easier to sell, or something.

But I don't buy it. Nor do I hope they succeed. The housing crisis is a real problem. If people with the means can "invest" in the market it'll be another vehicle for making housing inaccessible to people. That sucks.

This is clearly a place where the private market is doing something that's suboptimal for society. If this is limited to vacation destinations (Lake Tahoe), as timeshare legislation strives to ensure, then it's fine. But if it becomes even easier to make an "investment" in homes in busy metropolitan areas like San Francisco and Seattle then more people, simply put, won't have a place to stay. We'll see more homelessness, and artists, restaurant workers and folks who are getting their career started will be further ostracized from the housing market. That sucks.
> sea levels and temperatures are rising, unseasonable storms are more powerful and frequent than ever before, unprecedented wildfires are spreading

It's sad to see Snowden being suckered by this stuff.

Sea levels are changing at about the same rates they have been for as long as we've been measuring. Look at https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_us.html and see if you can see any curves (acceleration). Let me know if you find any.

Storms aren't more powerful, they're not happening at odd times, they're not more frequent. Wildfire damage is down something like 90% since the 1930s or so.

I wish I could find a published list of that table of 15 values.

In my search, I found https://www.jstor.org/stable/2002889?Search=yes&resultItemCl... which comments that an optimum interval table of sines and cosines for 7 place values has 2700 cards instead of 9000. "Each time this table is used, more than two hours of sorting and gang punching time is saved."

The only published "optimum interval table" I could find in archive.org was https://archive.org/details/dli.ernet.212891/page/149/mode/2... where table VII is the function f(r*2) = 1/r*3.

> This is the first time that such a table has ever been printed for use with a hand calculating machine. However, the computer will find that it is easier to use than an ordinary table which requires second difference interpolation, since no interpolating coefficients are needed; and it is not necessary to pay any attention to the irregular intervals.

One of the worked out examples is:

r^2 = 4.043172
F = (0.04686041 - 0.043172 x 0.01420874 ) x (-0.043172) + 0.124999851
= 0.12300327
Adacore | Software Engineers | Full-time | Remote, New-York, Paris, Bristol, Toulouse, Tallin, Grenoble, Vannes...

Adacore is the maintainer of GNAT, the Ada compiler based originally based on GCC (there now are multiple backends: LLVM, Why3, JVM...). We also have a lot of tools revolving around the Ada ecosystem (IDEs, Coverage tools, Static Analyzers, Formal proof tooling...). We are looking for a lot of different profiles: GNU toolchain maintainers, static analysis engineers (that's what the "software engineer" position career is about on our careers site), devsecops people, infrastructure enineers, techincal marketers... Some of these roles involve working with Ada, some don't (we use a lot of different programming languages: Ada, C, C++, Python, Ocaml...) but as far as I know knowing Ada isn't a requirement (it's fine to learn on the job).

You can learn more about open positions here: https://www.adacore.com/company/careers .
I use as little Apple technology as possible, using frameworks like https://www.electronjs.org/ - to reduce my dependency on Apple.

I got an undergraduate degree in philosophy more than 10 years ago, and I would say it was absolutely worthwhile, and that it has improved my life substantially.

Sure, I didn't get a job from a philosophy degree, but that's not really the point; it helped me better understand myself and the world around me, so that all my experiences have been richer.

That said, I'm similarly opposed to a 'who said what, and when' approach to philosophy; I don't care who said it, I care if it's an interesting or valuable idea.

I think the 'who said what' approach largely exists because when taught at the tertiary level, something is expected to be assessed, and it's kind of hard to objectively assess whether someone understands philosophy - far easier to test their recollection of who said what.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but I started in Philosophy and could have minored, but I finished my degree in History.

Quick thoughts:

1. I gave my siblings the advice after I was done to double major in something you love and something that will guarantee you employment. I graduated with not the most financially rewarding degrees, and while I ultimately taught myself programming and have made a pretty good career out of it, I wish I'd paired my humanities with compsci or business off the bat to make the whole job thing easier.

2. That said, I am very happy I studied those topics. They gave me a perspective that I don't think I would have gotten in a more nuts-and-bolts field. The name "humanities" is right on point: it's the study of what it means and what it's like to be a human being. And while I've been bitterly disappointed by the corruption of the field (which is the main reason I'm not a college professor now), I still think it's tremendously useful to have learned these things. David Foster Wallace's famous graduation speech has a line I particularly like, where he says something to the effect of "in the trenches of everyday life, it's little clichés that will kill you." All of this "obvious" wisdom that seems sort of hokey and unscientific often contains deep and terrible truths about life and what it means to be a person. And having a guidebook for that journey is a damned useful thing, and I feel bad for anyone who doesn't have one. This stuff won't solve all your problems, but it might help you with some of them. Chances are that of all the human beings who have ever lived, one of the great writers or thinkers or historical figures has dealt with something akin to what you will. We aren't all that different from one another. You can get some pretty good ideas out there for free. So I'm very grateful to have access to and a background in those things.

"[W]hat do you think is going on in all of these courtrooms right now? We’re rich? For how long? Until which suits get through to the family? I think [the investment banker’s] advice was just violated in a Virginia courtroom. My thought is to lever up where we can, and try to generate some additional income. We may well need it. . . . Even if we have to keep it in cash, it’s better to have the leverage now while we can get it than thinking it will be there for us when we get sued."[1]

It wasn't a negotiated line item, but more that we had a specific ask, and the agency we were engaged with had a particular expert available if we could wait > a month. This didn't directly affect the cost - which maybe I should have made more clear, but still affected what I think would be the value of the engagement. I guess I'm saying: be aware that you may pay the same for less if you are in a hurry, but it'll still be better than what you have without paying :) It's still my suggestion that if you know there's a specialist available, wait if you can and bring them in.

For the summary: we always got the short summaries, list of vulns, recommended remediation. Tbh - I never paid for the exec summary, but my guess is that it was just taking all that stuff, spiffing it up into a PDF with clickable sections, and making it a lot more flowery? It sounded like something more desired by larger enterprise companies (maybe like this blog post!) than small ones like the one that I managed these engagements for.

You have to ask yourself what makes you think about wanting something in that very moment. And whether any of the considerations you are weighing while thinking about this are actually created by you at will. You can go up one meta level: You can want what you want, but you can’t want to want what you want.

There’s this theory among physicists (I don’t know how it’s called) that if you started the Big Bang again, under the same circumstances, that everything would happen again, in the exact same way.
The term wasn't really used before the mid 1900s. It's a relatively recent term.
I know very little about economics particularly the academic / theoretical side of it. You and Wenger here both seem to agree there is an abundance of capital (money?) and that's not the "limiting factor" at least in the US.

He writes

> When we were foragers, food was scarce. During the agrarian age, it was land. Following the industrial revolution, capital became scarce.

I don't really see how they are equivalent. Or actually I do they how they are equivalent but not in the way he writes.

For tribal chiefs, food probably wasn't scarce. For kings and lords, land was not scarce. For industrialists, capital was not scarce.

Wealthy people haven't just started doing strange things with capital as though they hadn't in the past with capital or land or food. Food wastage was a point of pride in elite society of the past, locking away vast amounts of productive land for private game parks, and investing wealth in all sorts of foolish ventures has been pretty common throughout history.

Yet all of those things were (and many still are) scarce for many people including in the US. So why do you say it's not, and what do you mean by "limits" of society exactly?

If a person can't buy a car or an education or a computer or tools or time to practice a new skill, then they can't work (or have less opportunity to) or they can't increase their productivity as much. Or they can't afford to have or put as much time and money into their children, which further limits society in the longer term.

I'm no collectivist, anti-capitalist, or social justice activist, I think inequality will always be here and it's our curse and our blessing. But surely we can't say capital is not scarce or doesn't matter so long as a significant number of people are limited by their own lack of it. Limited not just in entertainment and frivolous things but constructive wealth creating activities. Have I completely misunderstood the whole thing?
