Yes, but money is the issue. If I get a full scholarship, yes, otherwise not worth it IMO.
Well, now I understand matrix multiplication well enough to do it longhand in a pinch. Thanks for that!
Well, rich get their money as capital gains most of the time. You can't tax that (and stupid, unworkable attempt to do it resulted in BBB Act falling through - very logically so). Attempt to tax capital gains will result in money going offshore. Attempt to install "global" wealth tax will result in simply US being sidelined in the world, progressively isolated because now the world's rich will play the same hand as the CCP, dropping U.S. passports in the process.

Why not invest more in policing instead of instituting UBI? It will be a lot, lot cheaper to do, and achieve the same goal - making the country safer.
> Doing the motion first lets you visually confirm the range before invoking the command. You also have the opportunity to adjust the range if you didn't get it quite right.

It should be noted here that Vim more or less works like this in visual mode. If you go "v <motion> <command>" instead of "<command> <motion>", you can visually confirm the range. I can see the argument that it should be the default, though I like the fact that <motion> alone in normal mode just moves you around without preparing for a command.
> tripling the price

The last Nimitz-class carrier, CVN-77, cost $6.2 billion and was ordered in 2001, while the Ford cost $13 billion and was ordered in 2008. After adjustment for inflation in that period, it's only about 1.5x as expensive.
For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure it's quite likely there is a disproportionate number of people Out There™ that would be very happy to sign an NDA and have a look at the nodejs program for free.

You might even be able to find someone local. Maybe wander over to the next in-person security conference vaguely nearby?

Sadly you have no contact info in your profile so I can't even suggest to people seeing this to cold-email you.

(I objectively don't think I would be very successful myself, given that you've mentioned everyone in the office looked at it; I don't have a lot of relevant experience, which sounds reasonably necessary to be successful here.)
My anecdote is the other way around. I was born in the subtropics, grew up w/o A/C. It never got below freezing.

I moved to a colder climate. The first few years I complained that the summers were never hot enough. I expected and wanted to walk out of an A/C'ed building into a wall of heat and humidity.

Now I'm used the colder weather, and find 15C/60F to be a wonderfully comfortable temperature.

And nowadays I find winter is the only season to visit where I grew up, if I want to feel comfortable.

I figured it wasn't epigenetics or some such, but rather that your body could adapt to it. I remember once when it was -23C/-10F for a week then warmed up to -10C/14F. I rolled the windows down on the car because I felt so warm ... and then I noticed the bank thermometer and was surprised.
This little pearl is one of my favorite chapters from Feymans Lectures on Physics: starting from addition only, introducing irrational numbers, logarithms, trigonometry and complex numbers, all in just a few pages.
I think the use case of chatbots is better solved with open domain Q&A (eg https://www.pinecone.io/learn/question-answering/). The focus of most chatbots seems to be on answering questions, but wrapping it up in a nice interface. That's fine but the chatbot can only answer (accurately) questions that have an answer somewhere (probably buried deep in some Q&A pages). It's much more user-friendly imo to have a Google type interface where you can answer a question, and return answers, or at least get an idea of where the answer is - and open domain Q&A does this fairly well (as proven by Google)
It depends on whether they realize the error of their ways and have improved. If not, they shouldn't be around women.

I mean, I don't want to stigmatize people and I want to believe that people can change if confronted with the error of their ways, but I've seen too many instances where it just didn't work like that. If they are still behaving inappropriately in the workplace, they should not be in the workplace.
tbh I don’t understand the hate on NFT. I know some artists who have been drawing web comics for barely any money and they can finally be paid reasonable amount for all the time they spent on their works.
Windows 10 sniping aside, Raymond Chen commented on the flat-3D-flat fashion cycle in the Windows UI back in 2004[1], though the motivation for the current iteration is probably better explained by its authors[2]. I can’t even say I disagree with their points, it’s just that the result kind of sucks.

Mongo solves it by not being ACID compliant, which is sort of a big deal.
This is like comparing apples to watermelon.
Essentially, mongo solves this the same way redis does, but you said redis doesn't count as a database.

Also, it is possible to horizontally scale postgres. It's not for the light of heart, but the easiest way is with read only replicas, which is pretty easy (especially with RDS), and read heavy loads are where postgres really shines, and also most apps out there.
Courts have started catching on and are punishing the most well known euphemisms, too.
I had a Maytag washer & dryer from 1955 that was still working up until 2009. The belts broke and I literally could not get replacements.

That would have been the only repair needed. That said, I sold both units to a prop company for a nice sum.

Modern machines are shit.
This is very fundamental not only in maths but in theoretical computer science in general.
Even to prove how "hard" a problem is. E.g. look into (Turing/many-one) reductions [1]

Many problems can be reduced to SAT and then you can employ an off-the-shelf SAT/SMT solver to solve it for you. Etc etc.

But in general, being able to reduce problem A to problem B implies that A is not harder than B. I.e., to show that a problem P is undecidable, you can reduce the Halting problem to P.

TSP is NP-hard and can be reduced to SAT, then solved with a SAT solver.
But something like determining whether a player has a winning strategy in unrestricted chess (with an nxn board, for arbitrary n) is in EXPTIME and can't be reduced to an "easier" problem.

Edit: Someone ITT also mentioned ILP (integer linear programming). Also a good example. E.g., many optimization programs can be mapped to ILP.

Prettier is prettier. Usually, they use it as an extension to eslint.
I'm in no way involved in academic research, and I don't now how it works in detail, but a question that popped into my head these days was: is there a place where people can publish papers even without any association with anything? Like, if I manage to do proper research, even without any qualifications on paper, would it still be useful? Does this make any sense?
Two years ago I spent a week in a passive house near Piteå. The outside temperature was -25c and heating the house was done exclusively using an accumulation tank of solar heated water (yes. It worked just fine in -25 if the sun was shining for more than 2 hour a day).

The only problem was that it got too hot when we were making food or running the tumble dryer.

Heating for that house was between 500 and 2000 kwh/yr depending on how much the sun was shining.

> To be honest, pretty much everywhere is post-Colombian now.

Not only that. Post-Colombian food _is_ an integral part of many countries’ cuisine now.

Italian food without tomatoes is nigh unthinkable. And potatoes form the base for so, so many countries.

There are other influences too. The aubergine was first cultivated in South and East Asia but today it’s a staple in the Mediterranean and Middle East as well.

At some point one has to stop thinking of indigenous food sources as the only way to form a countries’ cuisine.

It is also interesting to realise just how little time has to pass in order to make a practice inseparable from a people. Some aspects of Italian coffee culture are quite recent, for example.
I hate being pedantic, but before the 1600 anybody with some education knew already that the earth was round (see: Columbus, Magellan).

Funnily enough, the "flat earthers" of that time were the ones spreading the idea that the Earth was moving :D (see: Galileo)

Yes, ES is a search engine, but under the hood it's really just a non-relational DB with Lucene on top of it.
I guess what I would love to see is being able to see a visual representation of the relation between different fields. (Since ES is not relational, you obviously have to define these relations yourself).
There are, for example, a aggregation functions at your disposal (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/curr...)
ES offers a tool called Kibana that lets you run these functions on top of your data (and even visualize it), but I never actually liked it because it's pretty cumbersome.
Well, Spring has multiple fundamental problems. They've chosen wrong language and wrong techniques. Runtime metaprogramming is sick and slow.

Though that doesn't mean that anything is wrong with JVM as a platofrm.

spring-core can be replaced by, essentially, several hundred lines of LoC: https://izumi.7mind.io/distage/index.html And in fact these lines can do lot more than Spring.
> Are houses in the US still built with 2x4's and drywall? You'd think they would move to what we have here in the Netherlands, mostly sturdy concrete blocks

Do you mind explaining why you feel this way? There are definitely benefits to reinforced concrete such as durability and resistance to certain natural elements, but as far as I can tell modern fire-treated wood construction tends to be nearly as safe in fires or superior in earthquakes, has better insulation, and is more ecological during the construction process. Overall, I would prefer reinforced concrete, but it’s more for the “qualitative advantages” as it feels more reassuring to the touch.

Speaking of electrification, one complaint I have of most construction in at least continental Europe is the consistent dearth of electrical outlets in residential settings. Living in Switzerland for years and visiting other countries, it seemed like an extension cord across the bedroom or living room was nearly always needed due to awkward and very limited outlet placement. The fire code in a state like California seems to have much stricter mandates to prevent this sort of thing.
Generaly speaking, yes, BUT the design needs to be taken into account.

A window (good as it might be) is "worse" than walls (besides being much more costly), the modern design trends are for extremely huge windows, that (whilst they give much more light, which expecially in northern climates is a wanted feature) are a problem, from a thermal viewpoint.

The typical size of windows in "normal" houses varies (depending on countries) like 1/8 to 1/12 of area of the floor of the room they are in, modern designs can be often 1/5 or 1/6, it is clear that the less amount of window surface you have the less relevant are its characteristics, and you have to consider also the effect of shutters or similar.
Because the deployment environment is or may be a Kubernetes cluster or some other kind of containerized environment. Wrapping up your application in a neat package makes other people's jobs easier - to them, it's a black box container, not a binary they need to install and manage on a server.

What do you mean? Are you saying that eslint cannot be configured to format the same way?
I'm in the UK which has one of the oldest/energy inefficient housing stocks in Europe.

After buying a house built in 1890 I've been made more aware how poor they can be. After replacing the old secondary glazed windows and replacing the old inefficient gas boiler, I'm moving onto replacing the front and back door, and insulating the suspended floor, walls and room in roof. The walls are solid whinstone about 600mm thick which I'd have expected to be a good insulator but in reality they're a thermal bridge.

For generation, I've reserved a spot in Rippleenergy's next co-op turbine [0]. I've been looking into PV/solar thermal/solar battery combinations as well as heat batteries. Sunamp's looks interesting [1] and phase change materials in general. Living in a high latitude (Scotland) the benefit in Winter is more marginal but I'd be happy with simply covering the cost and having peace of mind where the energy came from. PVT panels look interesting if not well-known/scarce.

There's so many parts to the answer it seems like energy advisors could be more of a thing in the same way financial advisors are plentiful.

This. My country's average income is arround $200 /month. I would definitely go to Univesity if I could afford it. I could do it here, but they all suck, the only good schools are for business/management. I'd love to study in a Nordic country though, Finland, Sweden and Norway are my top priority for immigration in the next 10 years.
There are methods to exfiltrate that knowledge too.
That's rather binary thinking; just because you don't want to support Safari doesn't imply you should recommend Chrome.
You can submit your work to any conference that is double-blind and get accepted if your paper is good. You don't need to be affiliated to a university.

>>than rely on a humidifier that can grow bacteria and mold inside.

There are humidifiers with UV-C lamps inside that sterilize themselves as they run. Dyson makes some, but I've seen them from other brands too.
Doesn't that make crashes much more difficult to debug? Or can you re-attach this information later on if you get a crash report?

I mean sure, in theory you shouldn't get any of those in production, but no software is perfect.
You're wrong on both counts.

Windows don't make for very good ventilation. They are prone to letting in either too much or too little air, which means you're either wasting a lot of heat, or are not getting enough fresh air. Mechanical ventilation with energy recovery is far superior. Windows, of course, are great for letting in natural light and for creating a sense of spaciousness etc.

Heat pumps don't always need big fans, only air source heat pumps do, and even those can be made to be pretty quiet. Not much louder than a gas furnace.

They definitely can warm an entire house (in fact, they do so on a regular basis in many houses in many parts of the world), even in the coldest of climates. Heating a Passivhaus requires only a tiny unit (except for hot water, but let's ignore that for a minute).
In principle, submission is viable at many venues. PNAS has a few mechanisms for having established authors endorse your submission, for example. The main challenge is going to be the appearance of credibility to get past the starting point, since many non-affiliated submissions tend to be unpublishable without serious rework, at least in lab-based disciplines.
This isn't especially different from Linux's dependency on /lib/ld.so. There's a design choice to not have syscalls and instead make you go through the libraries, to discourage people making themselves dependent on undocumented syscalls. Of course, there probably shouldn't be undocumented syscalls in the first place, since that's a bit suspicious.

They aren't exactly pretty but undergraduates are usually prescribed a "university physics" book or something with along the lines of that title.

You're right, even with the "autoplay" settings turned off when you drop into a TV show's subsection it will automatically start playing the next episode. Incredibly frustrating when you just want to check episode length of number of episodes per season.

If you mean "install prettier, set it as a default formatter", then it doesn't. I tried all shallow methods, then all deep ones I was able to comprehend. Indentation rules are different from formatting, and default prettier settings mess it up completely into argument-per-line if it's a big hierarchy (which it usually is). Hyperscript readability highly depends on how you format it.

Fun part is, neovim plugin reindents it correctly with =.
I never heard of a monitor damaged by a bad modeline. Doubting now it happened.
Although throwing this in is quite late: This discussion shouldn't be left wihtout mentioning https://logseq.com/ which I and many others utilized as my place for notes, sources and texts. There is a lot of activity around it - promoting, extending and developing this toll further

Having had only a short view on MdSilo I'm not able to distinguish all similarities or differences. Logseq is clearly defined as an outliner (every block is a bullet point) but all the other features look pretty similar.

Especially that Logseq as well as MdSilo are living in (chromium-alike) browsers working on local files (accessible as plain text) is a feature which I can't underline enough as this allows to use your notetaking environment idependently of user privileges.

Is anybody able to add something for a contrasting juxtaposition? With now 1000+ pages generated during heavy usage of Logseq during the last weeks it is unlikely for me to switch but might be helpful for other users.

Indirect Mentions seem to be worth a closer look. Do we see this feature in Logseq as well?

No, but you do have to deal with... however you deploy your app right now.

If that works for you, then there's no need to change. But if you ever end up in an environment where multiple different applications are deployed, or if your app needs to be deployed a thousand times, that's where e.g. Docker may come in handy.
I think your take is fine, but it's a far cry from saying we're spending the day at the 15 minute limit for CO2 concentration. The classroom I teach in easily hits the 1000 ppm level (I measured it at the start of the 2020-21 school year), so we're already suffering before the masks go on. The masks just make it a little bit worse.
Very cool, thank you for your efforts!

You mention that it is hard to check whether information is up to date on the CIA website. I see that Wikidata includes both a "start" and "retrieved" timestamp - as many offices are appointed for a set term, do you think it could be helpful to also include an expected end of term date or would that just make it easier to draw the wrong conclusions from outdated data?
Not "you, the programmer", any programmer. The Rust standard library can and sometimes does have UB, and that's even more true for other libraries.

I can see how anti-trust comes into it, if they're abusing their market power.

But isn't this also straight fraud? I mean, running an exchange, and then lying to both advertisers and publishers about the price that was struck?

If antitrust is hard to prosecute because of the vagueness of "market power", why don't they just throw them in the slammer for fraud?

What you lose on arxiv is peer review. That might sound like a feature- you get
to let others know of your results faster- but if you make a mistake it will not
be caught until it's out in the wild (and possibly until everyone has already
cited it and based their own work on it). With peer-review you know that someone
will read your work that has the background to understand it and to catch
errors.

So what, you'll say, independent experts can catch your mistake if they read the
paper on arxiv and contact you to suggest a correction. Yes, but there's no
incentive to do the hard work to correct mistakes if your paper is already on
arxiv and people are already citing it (who didn't do their due dilligence).
Then errors start cascading. Science is self-correcting, sure, but it's much
easier to avoid errors in the first place. That's an important function of
modern peer review.

I'm speaking from experience, of course. Peer review has certainly helped
improve my work. I didn't enjoy having to redo the work, but the end result
was something I could be confident about. Also, I'm only speaking about
publishing in journals, because peer review in conferences is a very different
beast. In my field, of machine learning and artificial intelligence research,
I'd go as far as to say that peer review in conferences is broken, getting
published or not is a lottery and you're better off putting your stuff on arxiv:
less hassle and more people will read it. You might even see your article posted
on HN. When was the last time a paper published on a conference server was
posted on HN? See?

Restrict existing free application to a subscription model later on?
While trying to launch a mobile application I wonder how I should handle adding a payment solution later on. I would like to have all features available for free in the beginning to get as much feedback as possible. Once I have decided on which features to keep I would like to lock most of them behind a subscription solution. How do you handle this? Does existing users feel betrayed if they suddenly has to subscribe in order to keep using the app?
