When pandas can’t manage a data set, I would convert to hdf5 and use the vaex pandas-like API. This is very fast and memory efficient (out of core) for my typical 40-70GB data set size and reportedly remains fast up to 1 TB.

The key ingredient is the on-disk format: hdf5 and more recently also arrow.

Looks like DuckDb would force me to use SQL, which is not what I typically want. That being said, if this offered better data management than a binary blob like hdf5, it might be worthwhile. If the use case requires processing historical data for example, a real DB would be better than juggling 10 x 40GB files or having one big 400GB file that keeps growing.

All this does is underline the risk and danger to "free market" enterprise attempting to operate in China's "hybrid" economic system.

Internally, China is dictatorial and communist. Externally, it is quasi-capitalist. Any successful result within is based entirely on the whim and control of government --- as in this case.

The same could be said of the west but to a lesser degree. The rules and institutions in place in the west generally offer much greater "free market" independence and afford government significantly less opportunity (and need) to control outcomes.
Another benefit of legacy niche languages, such as Perl, is less ageism. Clojure is a real joy to work with. Ruby is in an interesting phase approaching niche status with correspondingly high rates.
There's few other negative responses to your comment, but there's plenty of research linking physical fitness with mental improvement. I recently went from morbidly obese to quite fit and even as a younger person I noticed a significant improvement in my cognitive abilities. I'm just less tired, less foggy, able to think for longer periods of time with less fatigue. It's been quite a nice side benefit.

Of course some people are unable to remain fit, but many more simply choose not to prioritize it. I suspect it the vitality you demonstrate helps sell your "brand", and also just helps you to be better than you would be otherwise.
I take there is some extra step for actually transferring the money which one should verify as well. Or that would be reasonable due diligence.

Very interesting. And the passages about different Steamboat inventors failing to learn from each other as they iteratively moved through different designs definitely made me think of the modern programmer, and about how just going ahead and coding is often valued over extensive research. I wonder if someday today's "first generation programmers" will be looked at in the same way as these early pioneers.
I was trying out your free tier and was looking for any way to run shell commands (like heroku run). There's "railway connect" to connect directly to a database but really what is needed (i.e. table stakes) is to be able to do something like "railway run ./manage.py shell" remotely (NOT local).

My favourite notebook is now an iPad Mini. Notability is simply amazing for writing and rewriting notes with colours, marginalia and diagrams. Procreate is great for art too.

It doesn't quite match the feeling of flipping through a timeline, but it does yield beautiful, useful notes that are easier to amend. With unlimited paper, there's no pressure to conserve paper or only write nice things down.

I appreciate layers, different templates, multiple pens, unlimited undos, infinite scroll and automatic backups. As a leftie, I like not spreading fresh ink on the page.

Sounds like a knee-jerk reaction from the ISPs. I bet they've already had anti-CSAM blocklists mandated by law in place for a long time.
Although technically, this would be P-hacking. You aren't meant to change your hypothesis post-facto to fit the data. You'd have to conclude no effect, and then design a separate study to determine if age differences correlate with bad faith answers.
There is a strange human phenomenon, particularly visible online. Some folk see a title like that and it triggers a "How can I blame the author?" urge within before they even open the link.
so what's your point? people should be buying a reel of one time programmable microcontrollers that you'll have to program in an esoteric language in a proprietary toolchain and a programmer that costs more than 8 cents? Or put together one of those open hardware programmers themselves?

I mean the padauk stuff is not really a very beginner friendly environment, and it's not as cheap to get going once you consider the accessories needed. just buying and re-using an arduino or a knockoff for a couple dollars would probably be better if you wanted to make the case that a microcontroller is a better place to start.
It's not a stretch. Those who would do away with net neutrality are the same who seek special powers to ostensibly protect copyright. The reality is their measures will harm both internet commerce and freedom. They're luddites who own the content and the ISPs, lobbying for control over something they don't understand because they haven't invested in its future and are feeling left out.

They're the ones stretching. If we were restricted to talking about only one or the other at a time, that would unnecessarily limit our ability to brainstorm. Fortunately, we have the freedom to discuss what we want and when.
It’s a self reinforcing problem, women have to discriminate against short men if they want to have tall children to avoid discrimination against short men.

If it wasn’t height it would be something else just as capricious. If genetic engineering got to a point where we could pick the height of the kids after a while it would no longer be a rare coveted feature. The drawbacks of height would become more apparent and maybe there would be a reversal of trend. My back hurts and all the sports I can’t do anymore are best suited to men of 5’9” so that to me would probably be the ideal height for health and fitness.
I'm currently reading "Sinclair and the 'Sunrise' Technology", which has a section on the calculator.

They initially had problems with battery life, but took advantage of the fact that they could strobe power to the LEDs and chips without completely compromising functionality to reduce the power consumption by a factor of 100. That allowed them to use hearing-aid batteries.
I haven't looked at the details of the CTM method for calculating complexity (because the math symbols didn't render on mobile) but from what I can tell in the two state coin flip case more state switches in the sequence is more complexity? That's not 'more random'.
It's also case-insenstive and limited to 8-16 characters, further decreasing the complexity.
Not really. It isn't uncommon. The target audience for this is bigger than you think, and those it appeals to are happy to see their niche discussed regardless if the actual link is a good or bad fit for the niche itself.

Yeah, there all sorts of niche languages out there. Back in the 1980s there were lots so-called "fourth-generation languages" - 4GLs out there. Two that I used were SeaChange, which was for Unix & MSDOS - see https://techmonitor.ai/technology/seachange_launches_seachan... and Nomad/2 on IBM mainframes - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomad_software. Both were quite capable (particularily Nomad) and you could earn quite a bit of change if you knew how to use them.

While this does happen, and someday it will happen to me if I survive long enough, I gained close to two centimeters in height within six months of starting a regular weightlifting program which is heavy on squats. Apparently there are enough small support muscles along the spine that bulking all of them up buffed my height stat.

This is distinct from the practice teaching me a more upright posture, which it also did, this isn't subjective height, it's the kind you can measure at some gyms on the weight station in bare feet.

Edit: occurs to me this raises... certain questions! Nothing more biochemically interesting than creatine.
Yeah, but as long as it is opt-out this is a no go. Also they are not allowed to target the European market with this.
Totally not a lawyer. But this could be very damaging to some copyright cases that aren't clean cut. At least here (not from the US) if you can show that the plaintiff doesn't respect the law they're asking to uphold, the judge has some leeway.

Since they're a global company and very litigious, this might prove useful to some lawyers.
I'm starting to think that those "20% of the men get 80% of the women" statistics are actually a property of dating apps rather than the real world.

When you think about the food industry it is convenient as hell but it is also bad for you over the long term. Dating apps are just like that. If you are lucky and you find someone good for you. If you stick around too long you are discovering the terrible business model the hard way.

A lot of industries have been building their business model around creating artificial needs. Mobile games and dating apps are the most extreme. Pay to win games are intentionally designed to be terrible to get you to pay up. Dating apps make their money off the misery of unsuccessful men.
That is how all the censorship stories start. In the beginning, you censor several "reasonable" resources, and after a while, you get the Great Western Firewall.
For example, Russia introduced Internet censorship laws in 2012 with the excuse of blocking some Caucasus terrorist groups' websites and "protecting children". In 2022 it is nearly impossible to surf the net as usual without a VPN.
Especially when there is two weeks left in the month... Like, maybe wait the same time it took your last transfer to show up just to be sure... Maybe some people just have more money than sense...
In fact, if you notice when you log in the next time, (for many people) your browser may offer to autocomplete your password and bypass the mouse-driven keyboard, so it's definitely not even hard to thwart.

Re structured concurrency: I wonder if there’s any way to combine with generic exceptions such that we can not force a wrapping exception class. So maybe have an executor class that’s generic on the thrown exception type, and then have the join or get apis explicitly throw that type?
This thought process is inspired by the goto-considered-harmful trail of logic: I think it would get us even closer to concurrency encapsulated in function blocks.
Valve also banned ukranians being able to make purchases on steam but allowed russians for a time just after the war started.

Valve has some really weird moderators in russia.

I am appalled at how much censorship is being pushed down our throats with this war and somehow it is gaining wider acceptance that doing this is ok. The writer of this article even seems to suggest that Google or Cloudflare could have blocked them from their DNS, but they haven't been ordered to. We want to censor our opponents at big DNS providers level? Really?
> I bet they've already had anti-CSAM blocklists mandated by law

Not just anti-CSAM, the UK has a mandatory "adult content" ISP filter since years (of which you can opt out, through doing so is annoying).

(Which also was used many times already in a inappropriate way by "accidentally" placing websites which are are not adult-only content but politically unpleasant on them because many don't opt out because "it's just for porn/violence right".)

EDIT: Just to be clear the law formulation seems to be over the top/vague and a extremely strict interpretation could imply that ISPs somehow have to block users access to sides even if the user uses an ISP or Tor, so wtf.
Eventually every single combination will be true in a random set, the joke is on them not you!
Does Valve employ their moderators directly in Russia?
But their data doesn't make sense to be personally...

Only 5% of their dataset is above the age of 60, making their claim that they are getting 50% of their guesses wrong seem like they are calculating it wrong. Surely their cut-off should be at the 95th percentile of the data?

They shouldn't be guessing 'under 60' the same proportion of times as 'over 60', because their population is mostly under 60.
This overreaction of transactivists to Chappelle cracking a few jokes at their expense really just supports the point he was making.

> "They haven't done it yet because it's hard. Really hard."

How "hard" is it though?

The following seems straightforward to me:

- Generate a pgp key pair

- protect private key with a E2E password ("if you forget your E2E password, all your DMs will be lost")

- store public key and encrypted private key in the Twitter account

- download private key to each device/browser session the user logs in to, have them enter the E2E password to decrypt it

- make public key of any user available to anyone they send message to

Why would this not work?
I don't know how to phrase this without seeming rude, but this idea at its very core seems terrible and short lived. The only way I can possibly see this ending is with an aggressive echo chamber culture that drives off everyone else.

I've seen forum cliques and mass blocking kill off many sites back in the day, and this design would empower this attitude in such a way that it could never be changed.
While there's a lot of NIMBY about zoning higher density, is not the problem also (partly) that 'price' can't be used as a motivating factor for more efficient (people/area) land use?

I generally agree with your post but I would argue that the content on this site is likely (though not always) to be too advanced to hold the interest of an average HS graduate. But to the right person it's practically an institution.

I guess I'm just cautioning that resources recommendations would probably work best when tailored appropriately for knowledge and skill levels.
It's built into the startup concept that the people who make them are mostly going to be driven, action-oriented "doers" who stick things into the gears of organizational machinery at random to try to make them turn.

A smarter founder will know to check assumptions, but it's a case of putting armor where the bullet holes are: sheer persistence is way more important, and where new companies are most likely to fail is in giving up on one or more types of roadblocks and trying to choose only certain fights when they need to persist and come up with some immediate thing that addresses every challenge and change, even if it's not a real or permanent solution or the specific thing they want to be focused on.

The other way to go is, well, the slow way: study the problem, build consensus, look before you leap. While older founders who are bootstrapping will tend to act more conservatively like this, it's not favored by startups of the VC money sort, not because it's actually a worse way to go, but because it isn't playing the game - it doesn't result in huge investment opportunities where a giant market share is captured in a short time frame. If you go in aiming to build consensus you may actually benefit society, but you aren't going to "capture" things. After all, capturing means "I win, you lose".

Thus, a startup that does get to the point where they are rapidly soaking up market share is likely to have a dysfunctional quality of being dissatisfied with the thing the business is currently about: there always has to be a next thing to conquer. Thus another re-org, new hires, repeat until you've attained tech giant status.

This can be explained using Bayesian reasoning.

P(all heads | bad faith) ≫ P(any given "random"-looking string | bad faith)

therefore

P(bad faith | all heads) ≫ P(bad faith | any given "random"-looking string)

So if you want to exclude bad faith responses, the best strategy (by Neyman–Pearson, if you want to think of it that way) is to remove "all heads" responses (and similarly for "all tails").
You completely ignored the part of the sentence where I said "when... a single component gives up the ghost"
