> You got me. I'm a wealthy lobbyist for big bike. I'm sorry I didn't disclose this earlier.

Bike lobby huh? Usually the anti-car position is motivated by environmentalism, or the social/economic inequalities inherent to car culture that have been baked into our public infrastructure. Those would all be much better reasons than the number of children killed by cars, but bike lobby... I guess that works too.

While it's not impossible that you're telling the truth, I just don't believe that children killed by cars is really the root of your beef against cars. Rather, I think you're cynically using a "think of the children" argument to advance some other agenda (likely some combination of environmental, social and economic.) By the data, 'think of the children' is the lamest of all the plausible motives to oppose cars.

I think the levels (high, low etc.) are relevant for the Deep RL algorithm, not the environment. The lower level version of OpenAI Gym canned environments would be custom Gym environments. I don't see much reason to go any lower than that.

The situation looks different for Deep RL algorithm. You can implement them from scratch yourself using Tensorflow or any other similar library. Otherwise, you could just use a higher-level library like RLlib which implements the algorithm using modular components and exposes hyperparameters as configuration parameters.

In many real world use cases, all one needs to do is to use RLlib's implementation and then tune the hyperparameters. In that way RLlib is to Deep RL what Keras is to Deep Learning.

This course uses RLlib. Does that answer your question?
Origins and schemes (among other things) are important to how content is served on the web.
So, you keep the hash table read-only on a static context, and only mutates some internal references?

In rust you will have to declare it exactly like that. That's not really an example of passing mutable references between threads.
On a side note: Purchase a bag of vital wheat gluten, a 2lb/1Kg bag will last a very long time. The difference between AP flour and bread flour is the gluten content. You can bring any regular AP flour up to the highest gluten level that a high gluten bread flour brand like King Arthur will produce. One tablespoon of vital wheat gluten exchanged for one tablespoon of AP flour for every two cups/240 grams/2.4oz of AP flour is a provides a good high gluten ratio. I use it regularly in my bread recipes and pizza dough recipes. I only keep bread flour on the shelf for those days when I am feeling lazy or need a very specific brand of bread flour for one specific recipe.

It may sound obvious, but maybe because money is not everything?

Personally, working at smaller companies means having a higher impact and more meaningful interactions.
"people often select purifiers based on their maximum flow"

I don't know if that's really true. Looking at the top 20 or so Air Purifiers on Amazon, almost none of them mention the CADR or flow in the title, and very few of the reviews mention it. Most talk about sound, "HEPA", "ozone-free" etc.

My guess would be that people care much more about physical appearance than maximum flow. I would personally not tape an octagon of dirty air filters to my ceiling because that would be look ridiculous and probably not filter as well as my beautiful, silent $200 Winix box.

Swiss super markets are pretty great (although expensive). When i visited the US and went to stores like Target and Walmart that was kind of eye opening though... pretty terrible.
PE is hiring and you could transfer to a SWE position later.
The popular situation in which someone would go to one of these restaurants is this:

It's 1975 in America. You're on a family road trip. It's hot, you've been driving all day, and you've got two whiny kids in the back seat. Everyone is getting hangry, and you need somewhere comfortable to pause. You want somewhere where you can sit, get something that the kids will eat without fuss, and maybe an ice cream would be nice. The obvious answer is Howard Johnson.

Drive throughs didn't exist at this time, and even if they did, you wanted to get out of the damn car anyway.
I have been trying out Lunch Money. It's pretty much a YNAB clone but seems to be more developer focused (uses mono space fonts and has API). It uses Plaid just like YNAB, but somehow auto import seems to more reliable on some banks.

> I think the point people are trying to make [...] not sending email from that domain immediately to spam, just because it isn't a well established and trusted IP address.

Yes, and I'm saying what's the prequisite for that to happen. As long as it's okay (which it currently is) to send unsigned mail, IP addresses have larger weight. DKIM needs more deployment for that to change.

There's absolutely no way that IP-based reputation schemes will be deprecated before alternatives are viable. Sure it would be nice for a few people here, but no, won't happen before the ecosystem improves.

> Alternatively - come up with something akin to D&B registration system so people can attest that they won't engage in spammy behavior.

Already exists. That too gets abused.
You're right... it doesn't need "chains". "Chinese" restaurants fill the same needs. I think maybe even "Mexican" restaurants do to some degree also.

I'm not familiar with Europe, but in my limited travels, "doner kebab" shops kind of seem to fill the same niche.

Well, this is defensible, since if you read this with s/is true/gets an increased probability of truth/ it's just Bayesianism. Sadly, sometimes people are waiting till later to find out which contradictory thing is true, but sometimes they're just bullshitting.
Great, yep, that is good to know.
I used to think of myself as a rationalist, but after being wrong a few times in some passionate internet arguments I began to think about what it would mean to truly be a rationalist, and given my understanding of the fallibility of the human brain (evidenced by reproduced/reliable psychological studies), the best way to be rational would be to assume that I myself am not 100% rational (in the same sense that nobody can prove themselves to be objective, or truly disprove Descartes' Great Deceiver), and am prone to confirmation bias (and others).

once i accepted that to be more rational I had to accept that I was not completely rational, I was able to reason more probabilistically. This helps, because there is actually no physical system that is truly logical (except for a bit, and making a logical bit is nontrivial), but rather, the only way to understand physical system is to apply probablistic (not logical) reasoning; think of the difference btween a perfect step function/dirac delta function versus a sigmoid.

Thanks for the pointer to second option bias. I can already see I'm going to waste part of the rest of my day finding the part of rationalwiki where it turns out my beliefs were anticipated by Wittgenstein.

TJ's for us is "we need these specific store brand items" or "I need to restock my Blackthorn cider." And unfortunately TJ's has removed three store brand products in the past two years, so the number of reasons to go there is rapidly diminishing for our household.
HoJos were catering to travelers, not to locals(which is why they are on the side of highways generally). So the idea is you're in some new territory on a road trip, and you see a name you know and trust and know you can go in there and get a meal that you'll enjoy. Yes, sometimes exploring unique local food options is what you want to do. Other times, it isn't. Maybe you just spent 8 hours driving in the car with 3 kids, and you need to get food into them that you know they won't reject. Or you're a business traveler and aren't interested in sightseeing, and just want to get a quick meal near your hotel.

I'm sure it happened, but I'd imagine very few customers lived within a couple miles of a HoJo and would eat there regularly.
I imagine that sort of reward would not take place today.
But then you are VC-funded. As Barrin92 hinted at, VCs tend to want to see returns and consequentially optimize for growth. Or is the idea for VC to pull out and realize profits once the company got to Mittelstand?
It is called "kinesthesia", which is important in playing musical instruments, sports, flying aircraft, etc. With respect to flying, pilots trained by Army (navy, airforce) develop these skills far better than those directly recruited by carriers from colleges. We can see those results in some fatal crashes (Air France 447, Asiana 214). I am not blaming the pilots. When one flies with the aid of machines (fly by wire, simulators), one doesn't develop the kinesthesia required to get out of tricky situations(when instruments don't work or when instruments misread, etc).
Honestly? Where are you shopping, what are you comparing to each other? I think the segmentation of stores in the UK and Germany are very different.

UK has Waitrose and (for some things) M&S for high quality fruit and veg. But they are also highly priced. Germany does not have a posh equivalent. However the common non-discounters (Rewe, Kaufland, Edeka, Globus), are really not bad.

I am not sure about the exact number of fruit and veg SKUs in Tescos and Sainsburys (UK) but I often find them of less quality than I remember them in Germany. I never had issues shopping fruit or veg in Germany nor the UK though.

I also noticed that the UK imports very aggressively non-seasonal products from afar. Like beans from Peru or blueberries from Morocco. I am not sure of that happens in Germany, too. So potentially you are noticing exotic fruit and veg having a different availability, which might be due to different customer awareness towards the impact on the climate of imported goods from afar.
Costco and specific midrange grocery stores like Kroger/Safeway/Publix etc. In Chicago there are many great independent grocery stores especially in the suburbs. Check out Village Market Place in Skokie.

I say specific because I found the quality varies greatly from store to store, and likely who the produce manager is. As much as I hate to say it, the stores in the more affluent neighborhoods carry higher quality produce.

Some of the highest quality produce I've found was at Costco, with a "picked/packed on" date of just 2-3 days prior to purchase. The downside is you have to buy in bulk, so be prepared to freeze or plan accordingly.
My late father was fond of writing CEO's and sometimes Governors when he had a grievance. He'd always hear back and usually have his problem taken care of by the CEO's, though not always from the Governors.

Following his example I tried it once or twice writing the CEO. Never heard back a single time. I am not speaking of an email which can possibly get lost in the web machinery at most corporations, but a typed letter. A letter can indicate real problems at a location which are hidden from him when he visits.

While it may get ignored by an executive secretary when you don't hear back you hold it against them. It sends the message loud and clear they don't care about the customer.

>Look at the classic beer industry... you have/had a crate full of standardized glass bottles, with metal caps and paper labels, you pay some deposit to take the crate and the bottles, you drink the beer, return the crate and the empty bottles to be washed and refilled, get back your deposit (or take a new full crate), and that's it.

I'm not sure what time period "classic" implies, but what you described hasn't been the case for years.

About 12 percent of all U.S. beer was sold in returnable bottles in 1981. Since 2007, the percentage has been negligible, according to statistics kept by the Washington, D.C.-based Beer Institute.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/reusable-beer-bottles-facing-ex...

>Yes, some energy goes for transport and washing of those bottles.

I find it strange that you admit this is a thing, but ultimately gloss over it. What really is the TCO of plastic bottles vs glass bottles? It's tempting to conclude that reusing must be better than throwing stuff out, but given the costs associated with transporting heavy glass bottles and/or sanitizing them, it's not exactly obvious which one has overall higher costs.

>(or return them for recycling, and then china burns them).

There's a lot wrong with recycling today (eg. ending up in landfills because recycling is too expensive), but what you described isn't one of them. Landfill space in the US is cheap as it is. Nobody is shipping plastic half-way across the world only to incinerate them.
1. On a fast descent I like to know what the turns coming up look like. Also, sometimes we follow the main road, sometimes we turn out at some point. If it's a 100mi ride that was planned online, even the planner doesn't know it by heart. You have to look occasionally.

2. No, you're not aware when you have to slam on your brakes. The descent can be 10 minutes long at a high speed. You don't know every single corner by heart. You look at the map.

3. The people at the front know where we're going, but sometimes they miss things. It's nice to shout things at them when they do. They also rotate. I know there's a bit of gravel on this road, but they don't. I tell them. I know because I know we're passing town X or side street Y.

4. Even in a group, I'd like to know if there's a sharp turn coming, going into the city, etc. I want to know my heart rate, power, cadence, etc. I'd like to know how long the false flat that we're on lasts or when the next climb is coming up.
This article is now a bit dated, but:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/08/business/coronavirus-cobol-pr...

"Despite a dwindling number of COBOL programmers, a 2017 report by Reuters found that there are still 220 billion lines of COBOL in use today. 43% of banking systems are built on COBOL and 95% percent of ATM swipes rely on COBOL code."

How does one show proficiency? As much as I dislike certifications, I think this is one place where earning a certification that demonstrates competency from a reputable certifying body, in lieu of verifiable employment history demonstrating experience, would be worthwhile.

I would look to see what certifications IBM offers, for example.

Async is new enough that the function and trait docs are getting better all the time. There was a time it was really ugly to use async, and I still find it a bit crufty but it's a lot more approachable for someone new to Rust.
> It's cheaper and easier to munch through lots of throwaway domains than to keep moving IP neighbourhoods, isn't it?

Depends on your approach. If you hack IoT devices then you have a lot of IP's. If you hack Joomla sites, you have a bunch of domains.

Yes. There are also discounts and stuff like that.

Any tips for those of us who see PyO3 as one of Rust's biggest killer apps?

(Honest question. I hate how unmaintainable Python is but I don't know of any better equivalent to PyQt/PySide's memory-safe QWidget bindings or the RAD-friendly ORM migrations in Django ORM or SQLAlchemy+Alembic.)
The approach and results look promising. It looks like a quite reliable way to test new optimizations and I would love to see if it might be a viable part for testing llvm patches.

Though it would also be interesting to see how this method would be applicable to other compilers, like GCC.
I tried things like pollster, and they wouldn't work in my case for reasons I can't remember (but I asked for assistance on the Rust Discord and there didn't seem to be ways around it).
I grew up using traditional electric (not even inductive; just the normal 1970s kind) and it was absolutely fine. Where I live now has gas (the first in my 50+ year life) and I don't think it's something amazing; I actually find it kind of irritating to be honest. I think it's just what people are used to. Going to electric from gas is irritating, but so is the reverse.

They were clam strips from what I remember, and I am with your secretary. Clam Strips are a waste of calories :)

But I was rather surprised when friends from Atlanta GA visited and I took them to a place in New Hampshire, which I am sure your secretary has bee at many times. They thought Fried Clams were repellent, which was a big surprise to me.

Yep. Can confirm. Quick glance, tells you what you need to know. Car drivers (sad to admit myself included) take their eyes off the road for much much longer. What I'm saying is that you do look at the bike computer.

Having a really good time with both Flutter (Dart) and Lit (JS/TS Web Components) the past few months. Strongly would recommend both assuming you pick the right one for the right thing (I.e Flutter not well suited to entire classes of projects)

Both are doing some really cool forward thinking stuff, both have excellent developer experience and both are still currently not particularly popular on the web but expect them to both be huge in the next couple of years.

TIL that my current and previous employer are both (more or less) Mittlestand businesses.

I must say, I really do prefer working for these kinds of companies. The lack of outside influence, the robustness in the face of economic uncertainty, the long-term focus, etc. all I think contribute to a more responsible leadership than I've come to expect from any other type of enterprise.
I don't know the exact answer to this, but the minus world is always the _same_ level data, even if that level data is invalid. The same was the case in my game, the "5th level" was weird garbage, but it was always the same weird garbage.

I suspect because SMB was a better architected game than what I wrote, the unpacking of the level data is substantially more reliable. There's a very interesting video that shows what you get if you keep incrementing the current-level byte, though I doubt there's a way to do it in game like you can with world -1

Why argue with the people who actually produce the collectors?

"GC uncooperative programs using conservative collection" https://www.ravenbrook.com/project/mps/

I think it's a Bartlett-style "mostly-copying" collector, as in Scheme->C, but you can read the code and documentation.
According to German Wikipedia, SpaceX absolutely does not correspond to the definition (suggested, because there is no official one) of what "Mittelstand" is. That means less than 500 employees and less than 50 Mio. € revenue, family business or at least involvement of one founder, and most importantly (called out as such) economical independence of the owners.

Or is this a case where the German word has been co-opted for a different meaning in English? (Though other words like Kindergarten or Zeitgeist are very close to their original meaning, now that I look them up.)
