> I don't mean to be rude, but this is the type and tone of questions I sometimes get paid to ask.

If other people pay you to be rude to them, that's between you and them. But that doesn't mean rudeness is welcome in all contexts, and this site is one where it isn't.

As far as the pitch, it seems to me that the video is the pitch. I'm sure if you were actually in a position to fund their work they'd be happy to talk it through with you in more detail. To me this system looks a lot less expensive than an exoskeleton, and is also much closer to practical realization.
I think it’s important to understand that containers aren’t Linux processes. Containers can run more than one process. Containers can be stopped and restarted even though the initial process is gone forever. And containers have their own isolated writable layer.

I think the ion java library includes a AST parser that includes comments, but the ION data model doesn't. The binary format cannot include comments.

I think many text parsers are missing libraries that edit documents in place, preserving formatting and comments.
> Not saying it will be for you, but discarding mechanical keyboards on base of what the pre-built market offers is not the best measure of things.

What about buying a single $25 off-brand keyboard with off-brand cherry MX keys and liking it well enough that I can't justify even considering a new keyboard with different switches that I might like more?
True. I had one project pan out financially and the other was a complete dud. The wonderful feeling you get when you’re “done” though? That was the same for both.

Pretty sure using dating apps would have the opposite effect for most depressed men: would make them more depressed.
It probably isn't though. My mother in law's stairlift was installed in a couple of hours along the normal stairs. There was no building work to create a shaft needed. It was cheap.

Because of unstable home issues, I was unable to do well in high school classes because I couldn't spend time outside of school studying and doing homework assignments.

But I did extremely well on the SAT, and PSAT, which got me several scholarships and college admission.

Without the SAT to accurately gauge my potential, I wouldn't have succeeded.

This is a disgusting new policy, and will harm people.
The requirements for space (a column of free area 80cm by 80cm) are so small that I don't even think they make elevators that small.
Perhaps. But recent cars are a lot more safe than these old cars though. The electronic stability control has improved a lot, airbags have improved a lot, and perhaps the biggest difference is that a modern car has sensors to not crash full speed into stopped traffic or pedestrian.

No. But if your vocabulary is limited, you'll do poorly on the verbals.

I never did any prep for the SATs, and nobody I knew did. Of course, this was back in the 70s.
I've always been pretty good with complex systems, and in most places it's always been no problem to stay ahead of everything. Right now, I've hit a limit as things are becoming even more complex.

CS techniques like DDD are helping, but I get enough of that on the weekdays. Weekends and nights I'm looking through game design videos, and maybe economics if I have time.

Last week I had to call Wells Fargo to change my home address. They texted me a code to read it back to them to confirm my identity.

Their standard text messages for auth codes say: Wells Fargo will NEVER call or text you for this code. DON'T share it. Enter code 123456 online to send $1.00.

Their verification text said: Free Msg: Use Wells Fargo verification code 123456 to verify your identity. Reply STOP to stop msgs. Call 1-800-869-3557 if you didn't request this code.
About 10 years ago in my old university they had no minimum score because back then Computer Science was still considered a fringe field for geek but I digress.

Eventually they had to put a minimum because there was too much low score students draining the professors and tutors time both in and outside class.

When Computer Science became mainstream and synonymous with making lots of money then they began to limit places and the problematic students went away.
You are using a lot of handwaving to try to get across the finish line. Let's tease this apart:

1. "math vs no-math". All engineers learn math. Some are afraid of it. At elite unis, it's fair to say those afraid are weeded out. That does not mean that most who attend mid-tier schools are afraid of math, or don't know math -- that's wildly false.

2. "engineering versus operating". Elite unis prepare you better to go into research, which is not engineering. Yet you are pretending that research is engineering and that what other schools do is teach you how to "operate a milling machine", which is again wildly inaccurate and condescending. Other schools teach you to build stuff and have less emphasis on theory. At elite unis there is more emphasis on theory and less on building stuff.

3. "I've known many engineers who were competent mechanics, but were terrified of math" Yes, as a mathematician I know a lot of engineers who think they know math because they like to throw around words like SDEs, or think they are math heroes for studying a bit of functional analysis or linear programming. But their knowledge is pretty shallow, which is fine. What's not fine is it often comes at the expense of knowing how to build or design things well. That is a real risk with the more theoretically educated engineer, just as not knowing theory well is a real risk for the more practically educated engineer. Also a lot of theoretically trained engineers tend to be quite condescending and arrogant, not realizing how poor their math knowledge actually is.

Fortunately elite and regular engineering schools today do produce good students. The main advantage of the elite school is sorting - smarter students attend these schools, which means on average they are better at their area of study. Caltech is notable for resisting the "equity" tide and still requiring standardized scores, so I'd hire from them if I needed someone to assist in more theoretical areas, or someone looking for a career change into a more practical area. I would be much more circumspect when it comes to UC schools. I would also hire from lower-tiered schools but would require more screening.
Okay, so what's the catch? If other manufacturers rely on the spyware and ads to finance the business, which is how they are able to sell such a high spec TV for $450, how is that vendor able to sell such a TV for $400 with no spyware and ads? Not a rhetorical question; I'm actually curious how they make it work.
The nice thing about the Model M, and still more so the Model F, is that in addition to being a keyboard, they're very effective melee weapons.
I’m a photographer. I regularly go on Instagram and see the best work from some of the best photographers in the world.

It’s a bummer.

Here’s what I do to cheer up: I look at local photographers. My work is generally better, and significantly so. They might even get more work than me, but I can be proud of my what I do all the same.

Maybe in this example you aren’t me. Maybe you’re one of the other local photographer, but I bet you aren’t the worst. You’re only noticing the people who are inherently noticeable. Try everyone else.

It's just that we (mostly) don't know it any different (anymore).

And probably lost the ability to do it different. At least for now. May change. Slowly.

They wouldn't be making over a dozen films a year if they weren't making money. Hereditary was their top grossing at like $80 million and was a $10 million film. Lady bird did $79 million on a $10 million budget as well. Moonlight did $65 million on a $4 million budget.
To me a glass of wine is like a signal that the day is over. So during work? No. When I'm coding or working on something just for me, for fun, sure.

Three wrongs don't make a right, though.
I don't know. I think of my dad, and almost all of my friends dads, and they worked all of the time, seemingly. Granted, I'm GenX, so I may be older than a lot on here. My mom worked when I was younger and could stop when my dad got to a certain point (and my parents remarried), but most dads were only home for dinner and then looked over some papers while I was getting ready for bed, as long as I can remember. That was the promise of the 80's and 90's, right? The boom economy.

Maybe we lived in a few anomalous neighborhoods.
Society doesn't operate on the level of outliers and anecdotes, though. This seems like a common mistake people make. Making small changes to how well we're educating people over large numbers and over time will make big differences.
I bought a house in SF with some friends, it's going pretty well, but I guess we're only a few years into it so far. I'm also buying a rural place this year, and I'm hoping that having a foothold in both urban and rural settings will provide me with plenty of opportunities to build group living arrangements around what my friends most prefer. So far it's rewarding!
The threat must be legible and have a credible threat of authoritative judgment so steps can be taken to predictably avoid the consequence. It's not at all clear to a homeless person what steps they should take to reduce suffering in their life. (I'm aware I'm replying to a homeless or formerly homeless person. And it needn't be said, but I'm not saying that an effective threat is moral.)

I don’t know about the ACT, but the SAT in that time period was trivial to study for. I had one Barrons book, and the rest was accomplished by being a student in a public school. There were no surprises come test day.

I genuinely don’t understand when people say the SAT is so biased, because it seemed quite fair to me compared to alternative metrics. Unless asking someone to spend a lot of time studying is too much to ask.

According to a survey, the age group of 30 to 40 is suffering with the problems like cardiac issues, diabetes, hypertension, renal problems, etc at large. It is because of the unhealthy diet and the lack of physical activities during the whole day. The amount of stress one has to take in the whole day keeps on increasing with the age and this causes a lot of mental health problems too.

> There are no arrow keys or nav cluster, which means you need to use layers or key combinations to access them. I have no problem relearning how to use my keyboard, but dedicated keys are still faster and easier.

"Easier" is subjective and so I won't address it. As to "faster", I have ♢+{🄸,🄹,🄺,🄻} mapped to {up,left,down,right} making them much quicker to access than reaching for a dedicated cluster of arrow keys.

The ♢ key is to the immediate left of the spacebar and is quickly reachable by my left thumb. 🄹,🄺,🄻 are under the fingers of my right hand in its default home row position and 🄸 is only a very short distance away.

I remember signing up for a political science class at Caltech that was called something like "American politics in the 20th century." The professor began the course by saying, "Let us consider an N-dimensional policy space, S, with a set of M candidate feature vectors, {C}, ...."
Thanks for the response, but this comment

Which you said are restaurant conversations, sounds like pure fiction.
If it's not obvious, the more diverse a group is, then lower the lowest common denominator will be. That's just a law of nature.

So if you are selling a global movie, you are not going to be able to rely on cultural references, witty banter, or sophisticated plots. You will not even be able to rely on a lot of dialogue as the movie will need to be dubbed and subtle dialogue doesn't translate well.

You will rely on boobs and explosions, because that's the lowest common denominator that will sell well in New York, Indonesia, Nigeria, Italy, Egypt, Chile, and China. And if many nations don't allow boobs, then explosions it is.

There just isn't a lot that the world has in common, which forces movies with a global audience to be extremely shallow.

One reason, for example, for the dearth of good comedy films is that it's really hard for comedy to translate across different cultures. Maybe something like slipping on a banana peel will work, but more sophisticated stuff doesn't work.
Yeah but the actual rocket scientists didn't want anything to do with it. They basically said 'clearly this shuttle thing makes no sense what so ever for space flight, the only reason it could exist is to nuke us'. The Russians built their own because politicians wanted to match it.

Soviet engineers were clever and put built the rocket in a way where they could use it without the Orbiter and make the system much more useful then the Shuttle ever was.

But that was late in the game really, for the most part, in terms of engines the Soviets kicked the US ass.
Some interesting moralizing at the end.

we seriously believe that FREE TRADE, free intercourse, will do more than any other visible agent to extend civilization and morality throughout the world—yes, to extinguish slavery itself. Then, if we look around us at home, we see ignorance, depravity, immorality, irreligion, abounding to an extent disgraceful to a civilized country;

I'd be curious to understand better the political context in which this prospectus was written. Already multiple generations into the industrial revolution, but with a government still completely unprepared for societal changes? Concern that barriers to trade would slow things down?
China's system is not much of value in comparison. UC's problem is that there is no verification on acquired knowledge. Not standard test. You can have non standard test on how much and how well someone learned the knowledge.

> One billion people

If you referring to people who take the exam, it's 10.78M [1].

> One standardized metric to determine who goes where.

This is just to determine the entrance to public university. Of course, the people who can afford alternative higher education is negligible compared to those taking gaokao.

But there are actually a lot of people who won't take gaokao, as they entered vocational school, in 2019 6M entered the so-called vocational high school.

> Removing entry exam requirements does not help underprivileged students.

You got it wrong.

It's not about privilege it's about the effectiveness and efficiency of the talent selection. Secondary is about giving education as a means of climbing social ladder.

> On the one hand, we got what we asked for: _a la carte_.

But we don't. It's worse than ever now. Shows are fragmented into way too many different subcriptions (netflix, etc) each with their monthly fee and a bunch of stuff I won't be watching.

True a la carte would mean eliminating all those exlusive distributions so I could get any show from any streaming vendor for a one-off price (say, 25 cents for a show, $2 for a movie, or whatever) without having to subcribe to any recurring service.

I've given up, I'm not going to subscribe to half a dozen things, that's way too inconvenient and expensive.

Why did they choose "white" as a measurement of diversity? I think if they had chosen "Asian", the graph would show an opposite picture: lower diversity at tech than in writers.
Even if it’s a decision that I don’t agree with, if we all agree democracy is the best form of representative government, the decision taken by the lawmakers has to be respected. It’s not optimal, it’s slow to effect changes but I still believe it’s the best form of government we have.

ion schema is a type system that can validate ion values and it supports sum types.

https://amzn.github.io/ion-schema/docs/spec.html#union

The ion data model doesn't describe a schema or type system. It's a data structure where values are of a known type. In the binary format values are preceded by a type id, in the text format the syntax declares the type - "" for string, {} for struct. The data model doesn't declare what types a value could have, only the type it does have.
I'm a little confused about the author's form of depression. He seemed to be able to still experience positive emotions and feelings. I don't mean to dismiss or invalidate his experience but I think depressive periods brought on by a real factor in life, say a personal hardship or stressor (in his case it seemed like work) are very, very different than chronic treatment resistant depression with anhedonia.

One of the hardest symptoms of depression to treat is anhedonia, meaning blunted or no responses to positive emotions. Having severe anhedonia is both difficult to treat pharmacologically and therapeutically.

I'm in the same boat as this author with habits/productivity, but with severe anhedonia, that only gets you so far. You can't use cheat codes, you only really know what to avoid. Since you don't really respond to rewards or dopamine hits everything is kind of messed up. You can maintain a momentum and it's better than sinking into oblivion but it always just kind of feels like treading water because the alternative is worse. I have to force myself to do everything, even things I "like" doing and it's very exhausting.

So anyway glad that this author found a way out of his situation but just as an alternative viewpoint this form of depression is more common and has a better prognosis. Some people have other forms of depression for which this approach is lacking something because if you don't naturally feel positive emotions regardless of what's going on (and regardless of treatment modality, hence treatment resistant) stuff gets pretty messed up. You can change your actions and habits but not how you feel and if you're always trying to compensate by not having an innate positive feeling or drive about something you can get a momentum but then you're stuck there. It's better than the alternative and you make peace with it but it will always be kind of a broken system.
