What do you consider to be from zero? Zero exercise experience ever? Zero gymnastic experience? Zero sport experience?

I've never been able to maintain balance of a handstand as a kid, I haven't actively played sports since middle school, and I haven't done any amount of meaningful exercise in over 3 years now. Yet, I feel very confident I could do a handstand within 30 days of practice.
An eigenvector of a linear operator is a nonzero vectors s.t. the operator multiplies it by a scalar. It's existence for a complex finite dimensional operator can be proven without the determinant.

The minimal and the characteristic polynomials can be defined and described without the determinant.

Where do you think you need the determinant?
Thanks. I changed the setting, but it didn't help much. It's smart to optimize for small files, since those are probably 99% of your use cases.

You might want to remove the part of your web site that says "View Large Files Quickly" because I was very excited when I read this and then very disappointed when it wasn't fast at all.

Notepad++ can open the file instantly and allows me to move around very quickly. You'd probably need something close that level of performance before you can claim that your product is fast for large files.

Gotta eat your own dog food, yes?
I think you might have overdosed on the fancy personal optimization literature and skipped the basics. Having a bigger brain metaphorically doesn't necessarily lead to productivity so much as increased ability to delude yourself.

The basics for being productive are 1. be in good shape (sleep and exercise) 2. not having to do less important stuff (someone cooks for you) 3. not having any more important stuff to do (no side business, spouse and kids don't demand more of your time).

Similarly, the best way to get moderately wealthy isn't to make a lot of complicated investments, it's to marry someone else who works and buy a house together.
I suspect there are many edge cases that cause this.

It’s not just the WiFi scanning or Airplay / Touchbar. I noticed this delayed ping pattern as far back as 2016. I spent some troubleshooting time and suspected it was something in MacOS but gave up.
What’s “reputation” mean on GitHub? If it’s “valid looking commits to valid-looking repos”, it’s very trivial to fake that. You can fake the timestamps, too.
What I like about it is that it's a no-BS e-commerce store, get in and get out.

I've seen people shopping for hardware on reddit say that the navigation is clunky and confusing, and IIRC they said the products are price-gouged?

I'd be curious to know what other users here with an eye for design think of it, and if they know of similar websites, as I've been working on a hardware e-commerce store (mainly for my own use) that uses a lot of the same principles of no-BS shopping, I'm supposed to present it to my mentor next week

Also, a lot of the speed is pretty standard with most frameworks, they did a good job of blending in the slow loading bits into something that feels fast. Overall It's a great website and I'm sure it makes lots of sales
Isn't the converse also true? If, in theory, you automate everyone's jobs away you could increase productivity and economic growth. But if there's nobody working, that productivity is also pointless because there's nobody with money to consume the product.

I think the OP's point was there has to be balanced approach.
And it should be banned. Why are you not resting your mind away from the work environment and having that meal in a peaceful surrounding?

And that's apart from the likelihood of being pressured to perform unpaid work during that 'rest period'.
> Instead of meditating twenty minutes every day and getting marginally better over time, spend 10 days every year at a meditation retreat making giant leaps towards enlightenment, and just live your life for the other 355.

Hehe, if only meditation & enlightenment actually worked that way. A lot of things worth practicing or doing are much more effective done 20 minutes per day and not in sparse lump sums. It’s like saying don’t work out or train, just run a marathon twice a year. Exercise, meditation, learning new things, playing music, even writing code, are all activities where consistent practice will unlock big long term goals. Trying to optimize away the day-to-day work by consolidating it is counter-productive.

“Barbell Strategy” is a hedge against rising interest rates (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbell_strategy), so what reasons are there to think it applies to any other topics where we don’t even have something analogous to interest rates?
It's a very appropriate name for something that automates the long boring things while not eliminating a human operator for exciting transient things, just like in an airplane or on a ship. What about it was irresponsible? Sounds like a completely typical autopilot to me.
This strategy makes perfect sense, but how do you handle vacations?
In 1997, monitors and TVs were much more different technologically than they are today. Today TVs and monitors are much closer in underlying technology/capability (discrete pixels, same video signal standards, similar illumination and color tech). LCD monitors were available in the 90s (13" was fine for a monitor, not for a TV) and were understandably many times more expensive than the hitherto strictly CRT TV tech.

Even between CRT TVs and CRT monitors, they weren't even signal compatible with each other. Maybe with a discrete graphics card that could convert pixels to NTSC/PAL outputs? Was that ever a thing in the 90s? Modems to convert cable signals to VGA output? TVs had scanlines because the signal they received represented horizontal lines as modulated analog signals (+ an analog audio signal) which were displayed back as lines after demod, rather than mpeg-bits received via modulated digital signals which were displayed as pixels. All of this meant that other than sharing the presence of a cathode ray tube, monitors and TVs were quite technically distinct. So yeah, in 1997 there were very good reasons why monitors were more expensive, which have since disappeared as the media world converged on digital transmission + output. TVs and monitors are more colinear in the fundamental tech and protocols today, end-to-end, with the differences mostly being auxiliary or in specs.

IIRC where I grew up, the price differences were even more ridiculous in the 90s but because market conditions amplified the technical differences — a TV was a mainstream household appliance, and anything PC-related was enthusiast/technologist hardware.

There are several no-name monitor manufacturers from China too, and their ultra-cheap monitors are similar in price to the ultra cheap non-ad-revenue-TVs (with similar low quality tech specs usually), or price differences more obviously explained by feature differences.

$10k is insane. That’s 1/4 the price of my nicely loaded Honda Ridgeline (or pretty much any well-loaded mainstream sedan or crossover). Yah, I don’t have an AI trying to drive (and crash into fire engines) for me, but I have basic lane-keeping, auto braking, and assisted cruise. I still have to drive the car. The horror.
In British English Brexit was an "own goal."
In American English Brexit was a "self own."
I agree, but I don't think the problem is so much "the office", but rather how poorly cities are designed in the USA;

- The lack of mixed use zoning makes it just that much more likely that one live so far from their workplace. The choice is too often "a house far away from everything" or "a high-rise close to the noise, smells, and un-pretty sights of town"

- There's so little space to build offices cities end up having super-dense downtowns, with very tall, expensive and crowded buildings. This is great for office real-estate, but terrible for everyone else because it means traffic. Since cities tend to have only one mega-downtown, cause zoning in the USA is pretty adamant in grouping everything together, things get even worse, because everyone is moving in the same direction at the same time.

- This hyper-dense core, but hyper-sparse suburb outskirts in cities make it very hard to bike to work; many people in the USA wouldn't even consider it an option. It's also hard to build efficient public transit. The routes that make sense are radial, so they might be good to get to work, but inefficient for leisure. Things are so far apart in the suburbs one it's hard to put stations close to everyone where they live.

The fact so many people prefer to not leave their home for work should be considered a moderate victory for remote communication technology, but an abysmal failure in urban design.
It’s not the shoulders.

All three branches of government are filled with young staffers who know how the Internet works and who are more than capable of informing their bosses about these issues. And many of our representatives today grew up with, or at least went to college with the Internet.

Guys, chill out. This is like halfway down their FAQ and obviously tongue-in-cheek. This is not a whitepaper, it's a press kit.
> their goals was to take the capital.

You think those large amount of troops and resources, that were in the process of attempting to surround and take the capital were just sacrificed for no reason?

They spent a lot of resources on those attacks, and they didn't gain much from them.

Surely you should consider that it was a mistake, and don't think it was intentional for them to have taken such losses with little to show for it.
It's weird. My parents were lower middle class, my neighborhood was quite poor, and there were rich kids at my school. The poor kids were cool, and who I wanted to impress. I sneered at the rich kids. To this day, the thought of keeping with the Joneses is disgusting to me. I live within my means, thank you very much. I don't think it's the time we grew up in, I was a teen in the 90s, I think it's a lot more to do with what we choose to value.
A free service that is now a backbone of communication across the world is more of a utility than a service to me
I find it ok to see and visit coworkers now and then, but work is not meant to replace one's social life. Further, some years back, I attended a couple different "Work at a Startup" and related events. Companies pushing "we are a family", "we hang out after work" typically means they have an unreasonable expectation of how much time they expect you to be around - despite productivity.

Do I have colleagues (current or former) that are friends? Yes. Do/did I feel a need to be in the office to spend time with them - no.

Work is a contract between myself and my employer to produce based on a certain set of expectations. Those expectations shall not include (nor exclude) social interactions outside those times.
>nobody with money to consume the product.

Then tax production and just give people money (ie: Universal Basic Income). You're doing the exact same thing with pintless jobs anyway so may as well be less wasteful about it.
Instead of paying rent, get on the property ladder by buying a property that you can live in while paying less on a mortgage than you do paying rent. It doesn't need to be large, that first house, but it will build your equity in an appreciable asset. That asset can be used (down the track) as collateral in a loan or two when you need capital.
Tesla's isn't good enough to replace wheel torque as an attention monitor, and they don't even pretend to (still requires wheel torque to keep FSD/autopilot enganged.)

In particular, it has terrible night vision and no IR illumination so it can't see you well enough at night to work.

People have been worrying about the "upcoming recession" for years. No one can predict when a recession hits or when the housing market explodes so planning your life around such worries is not useful.

Genuine question: how do you know such things? I'd love to learn them, so I'm wondering how others learn them (other than remembering random comments from here).
While at Skype - open offices were a thing - someone thought it was beneficial to have people testing A/V as well as video standup areas (dispersed teams) in the same areas people were trying to get work done.
There are plenty of sub-500k TC engineers getting around, and the vast majority of companies are “lower-tier” by your implied definition.

These companies won’t succeed if they try to act like they’re working with mature engineers, because they’re usually not.

Skills like knowing how to unblock yourself, how to identify systemic problems in a team and correct them don’t come naturally to a lot of people.

If you’re not encountering teams like this I’m happy for you, but lower-performing teams often benefit by adopting a rigid methodology to kick-start the process of self-improvement.

In an ideal world, they further transform their working style into something that works for them by reflecting on their experience on a regular basis.
> the mythical 10x developer can literally do tasks in 1/10th of the time.

Every form of the idea I’ve encountered other than from people criticizing it without identifying the source of the idea they were responding to has been about 10x overall value delivery, not 10x speed on individual microbenchmark tasks.
The market is telling you everything you needed to know.

People aren't in San Francisco because they don't want to be in San Francisco.

Even the people that "loved San Francisco" didn't even like things in the actual city limits, talk to nearly anybody about what they like there and they'll pick an endless list of things from the Pacific Ocean to the border of Nevada. Other cities aren't like that. Red Flag 1 through 10.

There are people that like things in the city limits, 30 years ago. You'll know because they'll tell you about how a nice neighborhood used to be the most hellish thing you could ever imagine and would never visit, but at least artists used to lived there. Which is what they fawn over. As if someone else was going to pay for this $100 haircut, but if I see any gentrifiers I'll bark at them for you! scouts honor.

And finally you begin to notice that almost all the other people that think they like(d) that city don't have an objective view of other metropolises to compare it with. Oh, I get it, this is "The City" for that region that people aspire for, because its 600 miles of frontier from there to Portland, Oregon. A couple aspirational people from Central Valley, "escaping" (their words), a bunch of economic migrants from across the US, visa holders that have no choice in the matter. Okay. Interesting. There were very few people from other cities that really just liked all the nature, and again, fewer of those are talking about the nature within the city limits. All that masked by actual geographic scarcity exacerbated by artificial scarcity to make the high prices seem like there was something to covet? Yeah, everyone that could leave has left.

> The transit system’s looming deficit has given rise to whispers of a new regional tax to fill the gap.

death spiral.

Obviously this is just my experience, I bet many will have seen something similar. I don't think the city government policies are as big of a factor as people think. People saw an option to leave due to the nature of their work, and did.
I think this is a blessing. Cities have been designed for commuters instead of the people living in them since white flight in the 20th century. Just look at all of the metrics in the article. It's all about commuters and the city's dependence on them. Now, macroeconomic factors are forcing cities across the country to actually serve the people living in them. And it's great. Yeah there will be growing pains and this decade could get ugly, but the cities that come out of it healthy might be great places to live.
Some people (me) have tandem parking spaces, where you have to move one car to get the other out. Super useful feature for me on a daily basis. But as stated earlier, it's buggy and frustrating to use and could be a whole lot better without much work. Tesla doesn't care about it, they are focused solely on FSD.

Safety can be formally defined in various ways.

See https://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/93798/what-is-a-safe-... for a decent overview.

The article is likely referring to memory safety.
If land value hasn't declined then what on earth would be the logic of leaving it vacant? If you're not doing anything with it then just sell it. I don't even get what you're arguing at this point.
Most likely, her account tripped an abuse detection system. Of course, WhatsApp is not going to disclose how the system works (not even to disclose which factors were used to make the decision), because that will allow abusers to more easily circumvent it. Heaven knows there are enough spammers using WhatsApp.

If it’s worth that much to you, hire an attorney to send a letter demanding an explanation and restoration of service. You’d be surprised what can happen when a company’s legal team gets wind of a problem.
That's too bad. You seem like a treat to deal with.

I recommend the book "The Wealthy Barber." It breaks down the basics of personal investing - it's a great place to get started.

There's a rule of thumb that says if you have a compounding interest rate, you can divide 72 by your interest rate to get the number of years before your investment doubles. (So if you're getting 7.2%, your investment doubles in 10 years.) Also, financial planners often use 7% as a rough estimate of the average returns you'll get from a well-balanced portfolio of mutual funds.

So, again: that's roughly doubling every 10 years. So run a few scenarios in your head, and you'll see how that can pay off big time. $2,000 a year now means $20,000 when you're 30, doubling to $40,000 (at 40), $80,000 (at 50), $160,000 (at 60), and $320,000 at 70. All that from $2,000 a year for 10 years. [Which, actually was also compounding even higher between ages 20 and 30.]

And there's two obvious ways to kick that up. If you do the investment in a retirement account, it's pre-tax dollars. (So the $1,000 you're investing only means giving up about $750 of your post-tax income.) Best of all, you can withdraw it early without penalty for tuition, a first home purchase or medical emergencies.

And if your employer ever offers a match to your retirement contributions, take it. It's free money they're offering you.

Tesla has also used this wording to advertise their purported self-driving features since 2016[1]:

What's the structural problem at play here? Brexit is definitely isolating, which promotes "comparative disadvantage", i.e. doing things domestically that are more efficient to achieve through trade.

Maybe there are demographic problems? Too many elderly, not enough youth and skilled labor?

They allude to democratic inefficiencies, i.e. voting blocs that receive more than they pay, creating poor allocation and disincentive.

But all of the above don't seem to be solvable. UK won't re-enter the EU, demographics can only be tweaked by immigration, and voting blocs are part of democracy.

So what does that leave in terms of solutions?
Tesla has autopark on all their models. It is terrible. I can barely ever activate it because it doesn't recognize parking spaces. It will curb your wheels. It's very slow. I'm certain that if I used it on a daily basis it would have collided with something by now.

It is generally not super difficult - most professors at universities have Masters and PhD level grad students, and more often than not, faculty are listed on the university websites.

Find a local university, look up their math (or whatever) department, and a simple email to one or more professors explaining what you want to do and that you're willing to pay will more than likely give you some leads if nothing else. Hell, you might even find that the professor's time is within your budget depending on the institution and their level of seniority.
I really hope L Breed and her leadership approve more residential conversions of office spaces in downtown. A few developers are interested but there seems to be a holdup for whatever reason. SF has already had some successful conversions like 100 Van Ness.

While I don't think that is a surefire way of fixing dtsf but it is a start. The superdense neighborhood of chinatown and somewhat dense neighborhood of little italy are pretty lively still, probably because everyone lives above the commercial and retail spaces that exist there.

(There's not much commercial offices in those neighborhoods but there's a few, especially between california and bush)
It was a crazy valuation-driven fashionable thing to have high tech offices in a city center. The whole Bay Area went from being a reasonably efficient place for high tech businesses to an irrational "that's how we do things" consequence of funders wanting everything within a stone's throw of Sand Hill Road. Urban revival is good but it was taken waaay too far and made unaffordable. "Affordable" isn't going to come back without a crisis.
