I don't know what to think of this. One wonders whether the load and rate of exertion are controlled for. If I know I am going to have to work out 5x/week, I sure as he'll don't go as hard on day 1 as I would if I had a whole week to recover on a 1x/week regimen. Maybe 5x/week is still overall more load, and that's why it works, but taking the time to do this week after week is also tricky. Not to mention, there's periodization to control for too. If all of the participants had been doing something closer to 1x/week per body part before the study, the 5x/week regimen had an unfair advantage purely due to novel metabolic and neuromuscular challenge.

> Rent in Tokyo for a 2BR apartment: $1,903/mo

NOTE: I wouldn't trust most sources of this kind of data you see online (I can't open your link so I can't verify it) because you simply cannot compare rent prices like that "across cultures".

And I don't mean just "Japanese apartments are small" (this is mostly a myth, although they are smaller on average), I simply mean that it's pretty much impossible to define what "city center" is in Tokyo, and having a good public transportation system and multiple city centers (Tokyo is 23 cities, and more) means that it's kinda hard to find a uniform measure that is comparable to most other cities in the world.

Tokyo is incredibly cheap for such a massive world capital/megalopolis. I can't stress this enough, as someone who's moved to Tokyo from one of the most expensive (yet incredibly small) capitals of Europe as far as rent goes (Dublin). It was amazing to see the contrast.

$1900/mo in Tokyo for 2 bedroom apartment (I assume it'd be a so-called 2LDK) is actually quite overpriced if you know which neighborhoods to look at (and yes, you can still consider them "city center"). I live 20 minutes away from Shinjuku, 30 minutes away from Shibuya, 10 minutes away from Ikebukuro (all three massive city centers) and I pay the equivalent of $1300/mo for a 3LDK apartment (3 bedroom, one living/dining room, one kitchen).

Obviously, if you want to be fancy and live in cool or pricy neighborhoods like Ebisu or Daikanyama or most of Setagaya-ku you're gonna pay much more, still... Definitely waaaay less than other places like San Francisco or New York.
Excerpt from the article + Google Translate:

A spokesman for the Munich group [BMW] said:
"The vehicle has level 2 driver assistance systems, which are already installed in production vehicles and support the driver if desired. With Level 2 vehicles, the driver is always responsible."

A statement which seems vague by choice.

For example, there could have been development software or hardware prototype sensors installed on this vehicle that malfunctioned.

It may depend on what features you want. Social Fixer is in browser plugin stores. FBPurity used to be but now isn't and must be downloaded directly from their website.
Very different from Elm or Haskell, but Erlang was my gateway drug to FP. I’d tried and failed to learn Lisp on a few occasions.

Elixir is more popular these days, but I still prefer Erlang’s syntax. Minimalistic, helps me “think” Erlang instead of imperative/OO.
Yes, but this largely due to the US CLOUD act [0], and in my opinion, rightfully so. The US needs to get their privacy shit together.

Now, is it realistic that it will be illegal for EU providers to use services that are owned by US companies? Very unlikely that this will be the precedent (yes, I know, there are cases where some courts deemed Google Analytics and Google Fonts illegal).

However, I would personally also feel more comfortable using services from countries where the government can't subpeona all data at will.

So sad to hear that Elm appears to be dead. It really excited me at first but I guess that like many I never made the time to give Elm a serious attempt.

For me, learning Racket was not too hard. The offical learning materials are excellent, although they are also meant for programmers starting from zero. For me that meant that I occasionally skipped over parts I considered "too easy" only to be confronted by my hubris later.

For me, what makes lisps easier than Haskells is that lisps are multi-paradigm. So you can write a more imperative implementation of whatever you're doing right next to the "proper" functional one to get things to click, and also to identify those elusive merits of functional programming.

I wouldn't describe the Racket community as "vibrantly alive", but it's definitely still moving along. And the knowledge is very transferrable to other lisps and schemes. Next on my list is Carp, for example. And if you (choose to) use Emacs you'll reap even more rewards from the knowledge transfer.
This may be common knowledge but the building, 111 8th Avenue, has a very interesting history as a telecom center that well predates Google.

Agreed. The proof of the claim in the article is effectively that people are different. John and Sarah burn calories differently, which means that calorie-in/calorie-out is wrong! You heard it here here first - soon Harvard will decry calorie counting as a form of white supremacy. Joking aside, the Harvard article is hardly more than clickbait. It appeals to people who refuse to put in the work to maintain an effective diet. They merely need to label what they eat as "whole" and can then eat as much of it as they want.

I'm working on this as we speak. As as another commenter has mentioned, the "fat line" Bézier clipping algorithm is the current state of the art, but I'm confident at this point I can do better. The weakness of this class of algorithms is when two curves are very close to each other, then they keep subdividing. Another major challenge is numerical stability - getting a guarantee that no two curve segments in the output cross is tricky and requires careful definition of what correct operation means.

I'd love to work with a more mathematical colleague on the error bounds and so on. Ideally one who knows the way of the land regarding academic publication, as I think even what I have now is publishable.

Another good implementation to be aware of is Skia path ops[1], used quite a bit in production, including fonts.

> it apparently takes a sorting routine to test sorting routines

You don't have to sort to check sortedness.

boolean isSorted(int[] original, int[] sorted) {
if (original.length != sorted.length)
return false;
for (int i = 0; i < original.length; i++) {
if (i > 0 && sorted[i] < sorted[i - 1])
return false;
if (countInstances(original[i], original) != countIntasnces(original[i], sorted))
return false;
}
return true;
}

int countInstances(int value, int[] array) {
int count = 0;
for (int v : array) {
if (v == value)
count++;
}
return count;
}

I know that bubble sort, selection sort, and insertion sort can be implemented in about half the code as this. But this code is read-only and is more obviously correct than trying to prove an algorithm that mutates the array.

Well... at a federal level there is, but it's a confederacy so most of the time you're interacting with a local canton which has it's own set of systems.
Yes and no.

We found that rx.js is bad for coordination. I think coordination is a big part of services in angular UI's. You need to fetch some data, wait for it, ask for different thing, maybe change some state. Promises and await are great for this and especially await syntax is readable (go channels could be even better). In rx.js you had to nest multiple switchMaps for dependant queries and for state - you either produce state as a stream result or you put some `tap` or `subscribe` with `takeUntil`.

But rx.js shines with more complex user interactions - drag and drops, brushes, interactive forms (angular has nice, reactive form api). We even put some state machines inside streams, so input signals produced events. and we had `scan` operator that manipulated machine.

My personal issue with rx.js is that BehaviourSubject is leaky - you can do anything to it, and break it's property of 'always has a value'. It is nice if your service is a reactive value that you can inject and transform or render using async pipe. But you need to be careful what operators are you using on it.
Right, but you’re assuming that solar and wind are capital constrained, and I asserted above (twice now) that they aren’t (that spending more money on solar and wind isn’t going to get more solar and wind deployed because we’re already building it out as fast as we can).
Elixir paved the way into FP for me. I did Lisp, Prolog and a bit of Java & Javascript done the FP way (I know) at University though, but only with Elixir I've had the "now I get it" Eureka moment.

One draw back is it limits your most successful referrers, which may be good or bad depending on what you're trying to do.

Honestly I feel like jQuery is my "secret weapon" similar to how Lisp is Paul Graham's in Beating the Averages. It's so much more productive than vanilla JS with negligible impact on performance, especially with caching.
No, it is also absurd. To carry your example forward, it would be like someone saying "the idea of horsepower when it comes to vehicle speed is not just antiquated, it is just plain wrong!'

The shape of the car, as a variable effecting the vehicle speed, does not make horsepower plain wrong.
Elm is not dead. It just prefers a slow release schedule but is still actively worked on in the background.

That said, you might want to check out OCaml for general purpose programming. Super fast compiler, great performance, can target both native and JS.

It is easier to use than Haskell due to defaulting to eager evaluation (like most languages) strategy instead of laziness and being generally more pragmatic, offering more escape hatches into the imperative world if need be. Plus great upward trajectory with lot's of cool stuff like an effects system and multi-core support coming.

> I just wish we would have a stable DE and Toolkit that only receives bug-fixes and nothing else.

That is not a good idea because new computers and hardware have new features that you'd want to use from your existing programs. For example you'd certainly want touch support for the laptops that have it, scaling support for high DPI screens, hardware acceleration support for having fast and smooth graphics on slower machines that still have hardware accelerated graphics (e.g. Raspberry Pi), etc.

The thing isn't to only get bug fixes and nothing else, but to get bug fixes and new features - but done in a completely backwards compatible way (even if that means new features have to be done by explicitly opting in to them).

This is harder and not as interesting as rewriting things from scratch though.
