How unfair would that be to that someone? Having to bear the burden of being the sole reason for another to live?

I spent years deliberately and intentionally slowly distancing myself from every friend, every acquaintance, until my existence was nothing more then a fading echo of a memory to everyone that would mourn not just a death of a human being, but the my death in particular. I've crossed paths with many of them in recent years, and to them my face is that of a stranger's.

So to answer your question. No. Not without some sort of actual desire to live from myself.

Oh no. Maybe we should finally do something about our system being set up to expect an ever increasing supply of new workers then? Even without declining birth rates that doesn't sound very sustainable given the finite resources of the planet?

For a start, we'd need to find a way to run industry without expecting an ever increasing growth of profits (i.e. surplus value) and structure society in a way so we don't let individuals hoard resources at the expense of everyone else. If we didn't try to squeeze water from stones, maybe that would also allow industry to sacrifice some cost efficiency (i.e. ability to generate surplus value) in order to use safer materials and cleaner processes that don't poison us and improve our survivability and fertility? Heck, we might even create circumstances that make it easier for people to raise a family and have more support if they want to have children while at the prime age for both working and reproducing rather than having companies literally pay for their high value employees to freeze their eggs and sperm to delay having kids until they're less economically useful.

Oh sorry, I just did an anti-capitalism again. Nevermind all that, line must go up. Let's find ways to make more kids. Maybe Elon Musk has the answer after all and we just need to have billionaires sire more children with their female employees until the net population growth rate looks better.

The most simple example is adding or subtracting distances. You might say you don't need that, but I'd wager most people need to at some point.
> An ArrayList is not an Array?

Not in Java, no.

An ArrayList is an object which represents a variable length random-access list and does not support basic types (int, double etc.) An array is fixed-length and supports basic types. It is not an object per se.

The closest analog to an ArrayList in Lisp is an extensible vector, and the closest analog to an array is a simple-vector.

> Btw., CL allows also zero-dimensional arrays:

As any decent language would!

Unfortunately I know all too well, both dealing with severe mental illness caused in myself by these drugs, and in others. These drugs are very dangerous and should remain illegal. At most they should be used in extreme situations under strict guidance

How do you expect me to support something that has destroyed mine and others' mental health? I would give anything to go back to having never taken these drugs

I think the aim is rather to raise few well-balanced kids who are taken care of by professionals so parents' work is not FUBAR. Motivating modern parents to have >2 kids takes a bit more than that.

The simple fact is, parenting these days is effin' hard. Even if you have place to put your kids in 5 days a week. I mean hellishly hard for few years, people go very close to mental breakdown regularly, or sometimes quite deep into it - seeing it a bit around us.

The bar to call yourself a good parent ain't about kids simply surviving. We know that ignoring child's cries whole night, every night messes them up badly for later life. Day naps effectively ruin your weekends. Diapers, fights for toys, lack of sleep which alone will fuck up most people badly but here we talk about all of this and much more, for years, while work doesn't wait. No help there.

The fact is, most folks simply have enough after 2 kids, we sure as hell do. There is very little additional 'parenting satisfaction' after 2 kids, yet costs and stress mounts. Also seeing quite a bit of fertility issues after first child around us, but that's not what people like to talk about.

They made historical sense.

A foot is the distance in one step (ie, a foot placed after the other). A mile was the distance a person could walk in an hour. A pound was roughly a fist worth's of meat-- so if a piece of meat was fist sized it was roughly a pound in weight.

These were intuitive units that made sense when they were invented. It was only later on when we needed more accuracy that the metric system was invented

In my case, I became anti cryptocurrency when it became clear to me that transaction cost will never approach zero and we will never use cryptocurrency for normal everyday transactions because the price of cryptocurrency is too volatile.

Most of the people who bought and sold Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency are speculators. My interests don't align with their interests. I want a stable currency (whose value doesn't fluctuate) with close to zero, if not zero, transaction costs. That was the whole point of cryptocurrency for me. If it can't do that, I have no interest.
I think that is a fair position to take.

My grandparents rented half of a duplex in University Park instead of buying a house in an otherwise nice Dallas neighborhood in the 50s in order to send my mother and aunt to Highland Park schools when they first moved from Lubbock, on the advice of my grandfather's new colleagues - and this was long before Texas begrudgingly started de-segregating schools, so it's been that way for at least 70 years now.

The only response I have is this: the stress from thinking about dying makes life expectancy go down, so logically if you want to avoid death you shouldn't think about it in excess (this whole thing is contradictory, but a contradiction is the best thing I have)
> from the same hat company that furnished Churchill's hats.

Christie's?

I have a panama fedora and a felt fedora, both by Christie's. Neither is anything particularly special (the felt one is rabbit-fur). And I'm no hat expert; they're just a couple of lids.

The felt one came from Christie's factory shop, in Witney. You can look through the back door of the shop, and watch the craftsmen blocking hats. Witney is about 15 miles from where I live. Christie's main outlet is in St. James' in London, very posh. The factory shop is on an industrial estate in the back of beyond, but it's a lovely visit.

4 out of 5 Russian citizens are ethnic Russians, and those are prevalent in Siberia, in Russian Far East, in Crimea and (arguably) in the "new territories" also.

Russian citizenship is a prized asset in the post-USSR countries to the extent that people spend effort to move to Russian Federation and pay money to engage in shady schemes to obtain it.
Toxic description, and demeening to countries outside your own. Do you really have to talk like that about other people that live further away from you?
Thank you, glad you like it. Yes, it's better when you give it some specificity, though not too much either.

> The problem is that finding those 6 experienced devs is _HARD_. And they're usually very expensive and know their value.

That’s not the only cause with all due respect, I have worked with several C-level managers before, they WANT those mid-low level developers/engineers, they are cheaper and easy to find like you said, but most importantly, they can replace them on a whim with another one who will do the same work, with “super” engineers, it isn’t the case, the amount of knowledge and depth one of them has, you will need a whole team to understand what’s going on first and another to carry on the job, and C-levels being egoistic, they don’t like anyone to have any leverage by any means.

You have to lay 3miles of pavement, 5 feet wide, bricks are 5x10 inches. How many bricks to buy?

You have 4 square mile of land with dense forest. Trees grow 5 feet apart and are 10 inches thick on average. How many trees are there? How much wood can you expect?

There's 5 inches of snow on your 5000 square feet roof. How much does it weight? Can it break the roof? Should you clean it up or can it stay?

These things are mental-math in metric and notebook-math in imperial, and that sucks.

Of course you can work around that. People always avoid the bad parts of the tools they use and find workarounds. Like not using exceptions in C++ or comparisons in javascript. If it's a widely used tool you know it has to work somehow.

Thus Americans never convert between units unless absolutely necessary and write press articles like "Asteroid the size of 3 elephants missed Earth by 1000 football stadiums" :)

But let's not pretend it's not a problem.
I see your point, but the way it's written is ignorant.

Psychedelics don't give you an easy high, like how drugs do in pop culture work, or like how stimulants do. With psychedelics, users have to actively manage their experience, otherwise, and even then, it can turn into a literal nightmare that you can't wake up from, until the effects go away.

"Broke your animal brain" - no, not really. If it would broke the animal brain just like that, don't you think that you would see the drug everywhere, and in history, widely used?

Getting a grip is exactly what OP seems to be doing. The thing is that while many of the substances are now illegal, and risky, they can give profound experience like nothing else does. Some, even knowing this, consider this cheating, which is why many who take religion seriously don't alter their conscious with substances at all.
"Microdose progress and remind yourself what a tiny dose feels like."

This was a key concept that came up again and again in therapy for me. The way my therapist put it was: "Small wins accumulate." When you're the kind of person who feels like anything short of a big win is a loss, this mindset can be really difficult to wrap your head around. Having it sink in over many years of being continually reminded was critical to my own personal development, and specifically to my being able to be OK with myself.

It really is true too, and once I started seeing evidence - usually in the form of being able to use something from a project I started and never finished some years earlier - I started to change the way I think about "just doing it".
Since we don’t know who are "them" exactly (the author never tells who they are), all I can deduce is: "there are people out there that select music just because it is innovative or political".

I would hesitate to say no such people exist to be honest.
> How do you expect me to support something that has destroyed mine and others' mental health?

I'm sorry to hear that you were hurt by psilocybin and other drugs. Unfortunately I think a recreational drug culture is ill equipped to understand and manage the hazards of powerful hallucinogenics drugs, and that too many people are left with bad and even traumatic experiences.

But doesn't this go both ways? How do you expect people who found a profound benefit from psilocybin not to discuss their experiences? I can understand advocating for caution, absolutely, but you're implying in your earlier comment that you believe they're deluding themselves. Why would your experience invalidate theirs?
Maybe that prospect is good enough for you. For all of it, you do not care about any consequences, as you did not care about the fate of ethnic Serbs in Kosovo.

Russians understand what's going on here and are motivated to not let that happen. At the moment they are successful.
Unfortunately for myself and my loved ones it comes from a position of deep knowledge, not ignorance

> Some, even knowing this, consider this cheating, which is why many who take religion seriously don't alter their conscious with substances at all.

Of course, this is an element of it. My major religious background is Buddhist which is heavily anti-psychedelic
This stuff why the SI units system really is a system. Rather than the collection of unrelated units that was used before.
The difference in gravity around the Earth is small enough that the pendulums would be within a couple percent. (Wikipedia claims a measured difference of 0.3% from the time.)

Assuming the second was also quite accurate, the seconds pendulum wouldn't be too far from its current definition given that g ≈ π² to within ~1 % in modern units.
Awk is fine and dandy but, like wity Sed, I think that it's almost always replaceable with Perl which is way nicer to use, and ubiquitous. Every OS (except Windows) I laid my hands on in the last 15 years has had Perl installed in either its default install or pulled in as a dependency almost immediately (a LOT of stuff depends on Perl in any Unix system).

This is, unless you are running on an embedded environment, but in that case you are stuck with something like busybox's Awk which is way more limited than gawk...
DirectByteBuffer exhibits an intriguing behavior: it deallocates its backing memory during the finalization process, which occurs after garbage collection cycles. This poses an issue if your system is conservative with on-heap allocations, leading to infrequent GC cycles. In such cases, there could be a significant delay between the time the memory becomes unreferenced and when it is actually deallocated. This behavior could, in some respects, mimic a memory leak.

This is why some libraries hacks into DirectByteBuffer to deallocate memory explicitly, bypassing the finalizer altogether. For instance, the Netty library has implemented such a workaround: https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/795db4a866401aa172757b95...
Skimming through, this looks like an attempt at a foundation with a bunch of applications. Meanwhile, it looks to me that the applications can generally be explained without the fairly advanced foundation (e.g. stochastic block model, concentration inequalities, and so on).

So, the "with applications to Data Science" is right, and should not be confused with "a bunch of advanced maths that you need to know in order to understand these applications".

How many fighters do you think there were?

> he says he just reads official Chinese press statements, but he "reads between the lines". Encouraging.

Yes, it's a great technique. For example, the government didn't publish arrest statistics for 2017, but did publish them for 2013-2017 in aggregate, so by reading between the lines and subtracting the numbers of previous years, one can infer the magnitude of the wave of mass arrests in 2017 in Xinjiang (227882 people, 21% of all arrests in China) https://web.archive.org/web/20180725042225/https://www.nchrd...

(Incidentally, the group of researchers here doesn't include Zenz. Lots of people can do this kind of analysis of public information. But if you want more of the same, reading Zenz' articles and the sources he cites is a good start.)
You are saying the same thing (though do note that the “JVM” on android does a hybrid execution with cached native functions)
Only need to deprecate the ability to create such an image on the camera, not the ability to read one.

Example license phrasing:

Cadets would not have founded West Point, so the sentence already switched to the context of what those cadets did (in 1828).

> Can we tune the adaptive algorithms to work better?

> We have also experimented with using an adaptive algorithm to change the size of FIFO queues in S3-FIFO. The results show that using an adaptive algorithm can improve the tail performance, but degrade overall performance. We find that tuning the adaptive algorithm is very challenging.

> In fact, adaptive algorithms all have many parameters. For example, queue resizing requires several parameters, e.g., the frequency of resizing, the amount of space moved each time, the lower bound of queue sizes, and the threshold for trigger resizing.

> Besides the many hard-to-tune parameters, adaptive algorithms adapt based on observation of the past. However, the past may not predict the future. We find that small perturbations in the workload can cause the adaptive algorithm to overreact. It is unclear how to balance between under-reaction and overreaction without introducing more parameters. Moreover, some adaptive algorithms implicitly assume that the miss ratio curve is convex because following the gradient direction leads to the global optimum. However, the miss ratio curves of scan-heavy workloads are often not convex.

Maybe this is where further research should go.

* Can we reduce the dimensionality of the parameters for more complicated algorithms? That would mean taking n parameters and mapping them to 1 or 2 metaparameters that are imperfect, but maintain a continuous and near linear performance tradeoff throughout their range. Then adaptive algorithms are easier to reason about.

* Knowledge of the past is both a shortcoming and potential strength for adaptation. Ex: what if we can learn a weight for every hour of the day, every day of the week, every day of the month, the name of every job, etc.? This gives you fast reaction based on history, and gradient ascent can handle the rest.
I believe an opportunity was missed some time ago in the past to define one inch to 25.6mm, which would make for much nicer conversions IMO, especially with the convention to use fractions of powers of two in the inch world (e.g. 15/16" would be 24mm exactly vs. 23.8125mm).

C is a very popular language to use in undergrad courses, all our entry classes (intro to programming, data structures and algorithms, OS fundamentals, etc.) were in pure C - exactly because you have to deal with memory from the get-go.

If that's the case at the Uni OP is studying at, then he should be come fluent in C - because from experience as a TA, it's not necessarily the CS knowledge/fundamentals that tend to be lacking when people struggle with classes, but rather that they're fighting a new language. Even if they have years of previous experience...especially in these days, when Python or JS tend to be the first (and only) language to many freshmen.
Is your username a reference to the claim that there were no mass arrests in Xinjiang, people were simply sent to school to learn useful job skills?
