Spline interpolation is a rich and extensively studied field, dating back to at least the 1940s. Here are a few comments about related work. The interpolation algorithm itself can be adjusted in numerous ways. One effective algorithm for reducing overshooting artifacts is Akima spline interpolation, but there are many others. Cubic splines have noteworthy theoretical properties; you can search for "energy minimizer cubic spline" to find out more. As already mentioned in @creata's comment, instead of using Gaussian elimination, you can take advantage of the fact that the matrix is banded and solve it using a banded solve algorithm (search for DGBSV in LAPACK). There is also research that explores the relationship between shift-invariant spaces and functions that can be expressed as a linear combination of splines. Finally, multivariate interpolation is an extension of the 1-d theory to n-d. This is used in image and surface interpolation, for example.

These are in fact harvest's tokens, which only erroneously exposed access to their app, because of an injection vuln in their code, and would be exactly as compromised behind any other IdP.
In remote areas with low population density, the stations are like you say quasi-monopolies, so they can just raise the prices if the foot traffic declines. The closures caused by need for expensive maintenance can be a problem, though.
It's a peer-to-peer "engine" with switchable components. Seems to run on different platforms (browsers, mobile, desktop, server). Basically the library helps two different computers to talk with each other, without any servers setup in the middle.

At a glance, it looks pretty much like libp2p (https://libp2p.io/) but seems to integrate with libp2p as well (meaning you should be able to use Bifrost on one end, and libp2p on the other), so I'm guessing there is at least some fundamental difference, but I cannot spot it. Seems to use slightly different terminology compared to libp2p.
I emphatically disagree about it being "unethical" -- we view being recorded as a part of job function. I am also curious (and, frankly, skeptical) about the supposed illegality in your jurisdiction; where do you live?
I've seen at least one place with many more than that in recent years. If you have one microservice "listener" per queue and another for the database processing and persistence (business logic) and another providing an API for one or more frontend UI's related to it then the microservice tally goes up very fast. It's kind of surprising to read so many comments indicating HN readers weren't aware of this.
As an electrician we used to pig conduits 50mm-200mm in diameter by wrapping rope around a bunch or commercial rags and tightly duct taping the middle of the pig. The head and tail would then compress to the diameter of the conduit and would be flexible enough to go around tight bends. Very effective
In what world is that “usable”? I mean sure it technically works, but the usability of it is horrible.

Yes, the UBI is on-going, but it's a one-time shift in income levels, which is what generates the one-time inflation.

The extra money keeps on getting spent each year -- it doesn't affect the economy in a cumulative way. The person who used to have $0, and now has $10K to spend this year, still only has $10K next year, and still only has $10K the year after. Inflation would only continue if that person received $10K in year one, $20K in year two, $30K in year three, etc.

And inflation is a complicated thing, but it doesn't tend to stick when its causes are known, and known to be temporary. Inflation is governed by expectations, and those expectations are often unknown. In the case of UBI, it's extremely known.

(Also remember that the UBI is not new money injected into the economy -- it's generally proposed as redistribution in the form of taxation. Which according to the simplest theory wouldn't generate any inflation at all, but because of the resulting shifts in consumption patterns, that's what generates the one-time inflation among basic consumer goods, housing, etc.)
> You still need to write the document.

Note that OP does not suggest that he should write in AsciiDoc because he loves the syntax so much; in fact, (in addition to a bunch of complaints about confusing AsciiDoc syntax) he winds up saying that you should write your AsciiDocs essentially like they are Markdown with a handful of unavoidable AsciiDoc constructs to get the benefits of tooling/syntax-highlighting. If he thought AsciiDoc was so much nicer to write in, syntactically, he should've been clearer about that and included it in the intro list of 'why AsciiDoc' reasons I quoted.

So, that is not an answer to my question of 'why not just use Pandoc + a little bit of custom CSS?'

You could get the same distribution if everyone is assigned a random amount of selfishness regardless of wealth, but some people are better at achieving their selfish goals than others, or just luckier. How could someone know that the result is primarily due to non-uniform selfishness?

You could measure selfishness in small experimental scenarios and try to correlate it with the wealth of the subjects. Does that evidence exist?

The venerable master Qc Na was walking with his student, Anton. Hoping to prompt the master into a discussion, Anton said "Master, I have heard that objects are a very good thing - is this true?" Qc Na looked pityingly at his student and replied, "Foolish pupil - objects are merely a poor man's closures."

Chastised, Anton took his leave from his master and returned to his cell, intent on studying closures. He carefully read the entire "Lambda: The Ultimate..." series of papers and its cousins, and implemented a small Scheme interpreter with a closure-based object system. He learned much, and looked forward to informing his master of his progress.

On his next walk with Qc Na, Anton attempted to impress his master by saying "Master, I have diligently studied the matter, and now understand that objects are truly a poor man's closures." Qc Na responded by hitting Anton with his stick, saying "When will you learn? Closures are a poor man's object." At that moment, Anton became enlightened.

I've worked on a couple of extremely large micro services projects.

And the thing is that nobody ever needs to run the entire stack other than end to end tests which get run in the cloud.

You just checkout the services you need and because they are designed to be isolated the dependencies will usually be automatically stubbed out. So it's just a matter of running them or chaining them together if you have a particular scenario to test.
Just to go back to the philosophy thread, this is one of the things that made Kripke famous (relatively speaking, philosophically speaking): a priori "knowability" or predictability is not the same as determinism.

You can have a system that is perfectly deterministic, but with outcomes that are a priori unknowable, in the sense of being unpredictable. Kripke didn't use this language, but if the information required to compute the prediction becomes unattainable, either because of capacity or input requirements, you can't make the prediction.

I think there's some very abstract computability theorem in computer science that's more recent that came to a similar conclusion. I think that came at it more from the sense of the amount of change in inputs that would pass during the time it took to simulate a system makes it impossible to perfectly simulate things past some point.

These aren't examples in physics, but they speak to how determinism per se isn't necessarily the same thing as predictability.

I'm not offering any solutions. I don't accept that it's my duty to fix their problems any more than it is an Eskimo's to fix mine.

We've done more than enough. We've put them ahead of ourselves financially, socially, even legally. We've thrown ourselves into a spiral of self-loathing and despair because of their problems. Incalculable sums of money, time, and other resources have been burned by well-meaning Whites all around the world trying to elevate those of darker complexion. It's all been futile.

And so the problem that I see, from my unashamedly White perspective, is that we are suffering for their failures. The solution I offer to that problem is simple: stop. At this point, only the most anti-White prick could possibly find a way to blame us for giving up.

very much this. in "poor countries" people can have a lifestyle that matches their income, and they can survive on that. yes, many struggle, and they all would like to have a better life, but most can at least find an affordable place to live and don't go hungry.

the problem in "rich countries" is that affordable places to live are missing. so being poor without government support to pay for a home causes you to be homeless.

Marriage is a legal construct; it can provide a level of security (and fairness) that isn't otherwise accessible. But as the laws change, the benefits change too.

I think men marry in the hope of binding their partner; fat chance. Marriage gives the partner a claim on a big chunk of the man's assets, so it incentivizes women to divorce their husbands. The great majority of divorces are initiated by the wife. I'm not sure why women marry; I'm not a woman, but maybe the reason is the same.

Marriage is an outdated custom. People should learn how to live together without submitting to these ancient legal customs.

Source: I'm twice married, and twice divorced; both partnerships lasted 15+ years. I'll never marry again.
Coincidentally, I recently put up a profile coffee roasting planner built on cubic splines. The constraints of the cubic spline match up nicely with the behavior of coffee in a roasting machine so doing it this way gets you plans that are easy to follow and fast to put together or edit. This one is just done as a web site, but prior to that I'd been using a prototype in C++ (unreleased because no UI) for several years. Try not to look at the code too closely, not a web dev. https://crucs.net.

The paper suggests specific health conditions for Vlad the Impaler based solely on the presence of certain peptides and proteins. This is a very fragile link, particularly without the benefit of transcriptome or sequencing data to provide context for these molecular markers. Mass spectrometry, while useful for protein characterisation, doesn't necessarily offer insights into the functional relevance of these proteins in the context of health or disease.

It seems like they’ve gotten to the “holy grail” of deployment where developers don’t have to worry about infrastructure at all in theory.

I’ve seen many teams go for simple/leaky abstractions on top Kubernetes to provide a similar solution, which is tempting because it’s easy and flexible. The problem is then all your devs need to be trained in all the complexities of Kubernetes deployments anyway. Hopefully Uber abstracted away Kubernetes and Mesos enough to be worthwhile, and they have a great infra team to support the devs.

- Fixing the zoom direction is almost within reach -- there is an option "Mouse Rate: In/Out" which defaults to 1 and can be used to slow down / speed up zooming, unfortunately it won't let me set it to a negative value to flip the direction.

I find this attitude applies to everything people don't want to hear. Anything that requires real change, effort, and difficulty seems to be met with anger and attack. It's so much easier to follow the accepted easy road of ignorance.

> "I'm not prioritizing one. I'm just recognizing the data and the evidence and the reality."

Good luck with that. People don't want data and evidence, they want to give their kids iPads at age 1 so they themselves can "have it all", they want to leave relationships the moment they realise compromise means not getting everything you want, they want to down pills to combat symptoms instead of working on where those symptoms are coming from.
I don't think the right interpretation of the CO2 measurement data is obvious or clear tbh. Naively, one would read that graph to mean there has been a constant level of emissions since records began. Concentration in the atmosphere just goes up by the same amount year in, year out. Yet accounting of per-country emissions doesn't show that, it shows huge increases in the rate of emissions over time:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-co-emissions-by-re...

Which implies, what? I dunno. These two graphs do not reconcile. You could argue several different causes for that.

The alternative to measuring everything seems obvious. Don’t measure everything.

Why not measure everything? Because measurement has a cost. And some things cost more to measure than you gain from the measurement.

I was on a team once with a product owner who insisted on absolutely everything being in jira with story point estimations. Well, that’s fine and good but one day I sat down with the designer and walked through the product. We made a list of about 30 things that needed fixing - almost all of them trivial. “This is the wrong shade of blue”. “There is too much spacing here”, etc. Well, I made a list in notepad and got going but I got in trouble for not putting it in jira. Only, it would have taken longer to write up these issues than it would have taken to fix them. To say nothing of wasting everyone’s time doing story point estimation. In this case, measuring our work would have cost significantly more than doing the work! We argued back and forth and eventually he admitted he wanted things in jira to appease upper management, who I suppose wanted to know how busy we were by looking at a number on a spreadsheet.

(He ended up writing up all my points in jira himself, guessing costs and ticking them all off as “done”. What a waste of time.)

And no, software isn’t special. Teaching isn’t measured (except maybe with a student survey at the end of the year). Science is measured in citations per lifetime, not micropapers/hr. And you don’t quantitatively measure your spouse, your friends or your enjoyment of mum’s cooking.

Measurement is a lovely tool. But don’t make a religion out of it. I heard a story from a leadership summit recently. A young CEO got up and said “But there’s no way I’d make hiring and firing decisions by gut instinct!”. A bunch of the older people there disagreed immediately, and said that’s exactly what you should do. Train your instincts then trust them to do their job.
It's not a coincidence. The conquistadors spent months in Tenochtitlan as guests of Montezuma and wrote extensively about how amazing the urban planning was. They would have preferred to keep the city in tact all things considered.

Since the Aztecs had done all of the hard work of figuring how to build out drainage and stability with the chinampas, the Spaniards built their new buildings on top of the foundations remaining from the Aztec buildings. It then took several centuries to fill in all of the canals and turn them into streets so the layout of Mexico City very much reflects Tenochtitlan.

For example the Zócalo square is right where the Aztec ceremonial center used to be and I believe the Metropolitan Cathedral was originally built on top of the foundations of a minor temple that was built as part of the Templo Mayor complex.
