And this is what bitcoiners and similar don't understand. It's not like your internet connection will remain happy and stable while the rest of the world goes to hell around us. Telecomms will be a first-class target, and most systems have some pretty central points of failure that would make juicy (and easy) targets.

In such a situation, if you've chosen to use an electronic cryptocurrency dependent on things like robust network and electrical infrastructure to function as your primary value store, you're going to have a bad time.

This doesn't even contemplate the additional issue for bitcoin and its derivatives: the blockchain depends on a consistent, global view of network transactions, and apocalyptic-type network segmentation will cause severe forking in the blockchain, further diminishing the utility and therefore the value of the [already worthless] cryptocoins.

I read the original article as a PSA. It was basically saying "this thing exists and you shouldn't feel bad if you have it." I don't see where it was making excuses.

If you recognize that this is a real problem, you can take steps to fix it. Things like shifting your schedule or regulating blue light. Not just "don't be lazy" or "get off Reddit", that sort of attitude doesn't help.

An 18-55mm isn't going to get you a shot of that bald eagle, either.

edit: I'm also not advocating never shooting with anything other than a prime lens (although you can buy 200, 300, 400, 600, and 800mm primes). I just don't think it makes sense for a beginner to pay thousands of dollars for equipment that they have no idea how to use.

I think it makes far more sense for them to get up to speed on the basic use of their equipment and principles of photography before they start investing large sums of money.

You should read the original post referenced, because this article greatly misrepresents what that person said.

The original referenced material doesn't talk about making excuses. He talks about managing a real physical condition so that you don't miss meetings and don't have to make excuses. It's about understanding that having that condition doesn't make you lazy or a lesser person.

It should be possible, providing you can keep enough information to handle potential rollbacks (you should be able to limit yourself using regular sync points which would make that job easier), especially if you keep profiling information to keep track of areas of code that do require synchronisation.

Main thing you need to ensure is that all the modules accurately track internal time so that synchronisation events do work accurately.

You should obviously do whatever you can to improve your chances of success. I'm just saying that you shouldn't expect to be the next Facebook or Apple, because that's unrealistic. There's nothing wrong with expecting moderate success.

> I'm reminded of that post that showed up here a year or so back about "how to date a supermodel", which started with something like "move to where supermodels live and go the bars where they go". Yeah, that might not be sufficient, but there's a lot to be said for the "create my own luck" aspect of at least taking the actions that are needed to move you towards your goals.

To follow up on your supermodel analogy, if you were to do that, it would be reasonable to expect that you'll eventually score a date with a supermodel - just don't expect to score a date with $a_top_10_supermodel (whoever that might be).

No one likes waking up in the morning.

Not true at all. I may be completely backwards, but I LOVE waking up in the morning. The original article also seemed pretty sure that NOBODY likes to wake at 3am. Are you kidding me? Nothing makes me happier and sets a better mood for my day then when I voluntarily wake up at 3am, even if my day job starts 10am.

Having said that, I might have the condition outlined in the original post. I'm a severe over-sleeper, and I'll always sleep more in the morning if allowed to. It seems contradictory, but it's a matter of determination and discipline clashing. I have the determination to wake up early and feel wonderful for it. When I wake up before 7am, if I have slept enough, I wake up excited and energized. If I sleep until 8am or later, I feel miserable, and it snowballs from there on; I get frustrated with myself for having lost my productive morning and oversleep even more. Often this enter a vicious cycle of sleeping late and waking up later, and it's hard to break out of it. And even when I get a good habit going, it takes just a couple parties to shred my following week's schedule to pieces. I'm still hitting my mid-twenties. Productivity or my social life?

Did the job offer say "must attend morning meetings"? Some job offers specify work hours and most don't.

If the person took a job offer knowing that there would be 7:00 meetings and then didn't show up, then I agree with you. Some job offers include hours so there are no surprises. Many trading firms start at 6:30, for example, and that's fine as long as both parties are clear about expectations ahead of time.

If the offer letter or contract specifies hours (rather than some flimsy, shifting-sands "please your boss" social expectation) then people should not commit if they can't meet the professed needs, I agree.

However, if we're talking about a typical job where hours are not specified before signing, then you are in the wrong and you should quit while you're behind.
All I expected was a Twitter account, where is it?
Do developers need the best of the best kit?
> However, I don't think he understands that most people end up in meetings they didn't voluntarily agree to attend.

So? A job is a contract between you and your employer. If you don't want to honor it, choose a different contract. If your boss wants you to come at a certain time, show up at that time or change the boss.

Those who show up for meetings on time are morally superior to those who don't because they can't control their sleep.
I don't know if this can be considered an improvement over brute-force case analysis:

If x is a power of two, then each floating-point operation in x+x+x+x is exact.

If x isn't a power of two:

fl(3x) = 3x + e1 |e1|≤ulp(3x)/2

fl(fl(3x) + x) = fl(3x) + x + e2 |e2|≤ulp(4x)/2

(ulp(4x) because once set apart the case when x is a power of two,
there is no way fl(fl(3x) + x) can be in a binade other than the binade of 4x)

Now there are two cases:

- if 3x is in the binade of 2x, then ulp(3x) = ulp(2x) = ulp(4x)/2. In this case fl(fl(3x) + x) is within (3/4)ulp(4x) of 4x. The only floating-point number within (3/4)ulp(4x) of 4x is 4x.

- if 3x is in the binade of 4x:

Then the real number 3x cannot be a midpoint for its binade. If floating-point numbers of the binade of 4x are all multiples of 2^p, then all midpoints for this binade are multiples of 2^(p-1). But x is of the form n * 2^(p-2), and 3x = (3n/2) * 2^(p-1) cannot be a midpoint.

Since 3x is not a midpoint for its binade, we can in fact improve the inequality |e1|≤ulp(3x)/2 into |e1|<ulp(3x)/2.

It follows that fl(fl(3x) + x) is in this case again strictly within ulp(4x) of 4x.

I do feel that this is a little hand-wavy as proofs go. In particular, I set apart the case when x is a power of two to make it clear that fl(fl(3x) + x) and 4x are in the same binade in the rest of cases, but I wonder whether it's possible that fl(3x) is a power of two and whether that deserves special attention.

I have this problem too. Are you sure we aren't lazy? I'm fairly sure if I busted my ass (by that I mean a constant work stream all the way through with absolute minimum interruption) 9-5 every day and then did a hard workout I wouldn't have my 'delayed sleep' problem.

Easier said than done, though.
Is there anything worse than a sanctimonious early-riser who thinks that work is more valuable because of the time of day that it occurred? And how much waste do we all incur because of these indignant shits who insist that everyone must awaken simultaneously, get in our cars simultaneously, choke the streets and freeways simultaneously, line up at Starbucks simultaneously, arrive at our jobs simultaneously, etc. etc. etc. I dare anyone to try and design a worse system. A few of the worst early-risers I've worked with were the first ones to leave work, often crowing about how if others arrived as early as they did, then they too could race out to join them on the freeway, or at the nearest Hooters.

This. I, too, am a "morning person," but that doesn't mean I'm physically superior to anyone else. I agree with the sentiment of this comment above. If you have obligations, then be committed and fulfill them, especially if they're voluntary. But calling someone a "sissy" (which I feel is a derogatory, antiquated, and unnecessary term) just because it's difficult to wake up in the morning comes across as self-righteousness.
Honor your commitments, yet be true to yourself. Not all of us are 8 to 5 people, and the world would not quite work as well if we all were (Who is going to be monitoring your network while you're asleep?).

My belief is: Be a person of your word; If you commit to being somewhere at a certain time, honor that commitment.
Heh, people look at me sideways for leaving at 430 when I'm in at 7. You might time people can't be trusted because we never know when you've gone home :). (Said in complete jest, of course)
I am confused by this app. It has two templates both of which are for icon design, and it has handy dandy guides for a main icon area. How do you get duplicates of whatever is in the main icon area in all the little side areas? Or is this really a bit of gimmickry and nobody really uses this program to make icons?
Nicer version that would've sufficed: (which I think the OP actually intended to convey, but is such an ass as to be incapable)

If you have obligations to other people, keep them. If you know it will be very hard to make that 8am meeting, ask if it can be rescheduled or if it is really necessary for you to attend. You should feel guilty when you make an obligation and break it.

Some people are night people (me included). If you are one of those people that can barely drag yourself out of bed before 9am, then accommodate for that when possible.

That being said, I completely see the otherside where people have so much trouble getting out of bed, even with obligations they intend to keep. I find that in this case, it's usually a matter of importance. I'll wake up at 6:30am to go catch a flight because I'm not going to lose a $500 ticket. I have a hard time waking up for some arbitrary 9am "on-time" value that my boss set at work.

I had an experiment once where I worked from 1pm to 9pm, by choice. I was significantly more productive, and having a slot for "business hours" stuff that can be done before work meant I never needed to leave except for when I caught lunch/dinner. I can't do that at my current job, but I at least don't have a "hard" time at being to work until 10am, which is when stand-up takes place.. and I've missed stand-ups before, but they're just important enough that it motivates me to almost always wake up on time

If you can't solve this really fast it means you haven't practiced enough for the interviews.

> of course calculating the permutations of a list is n-

If I understand you correctly, it is actually n!, because there are n! permutations of n objects.

Basically, your problem seems to be lack of preparation. You study a lot but you haven't studied things that are asked in the interviews well enough.

I would recommend "Cracking the Coding Interview" book. Of course you need to actually solve problems from it. There is lots of valuable advice there. Courses on algorithms on Coursera are also pretty good.
Since when did "sissies" become homophobic? I recall as a kid not even knowing what gay or homosexual was, i.e. the 80's, and being a sissy simply meant someone who was afraid or a "scardy cat". It was far more analogous to wimp then anything else.

What would you suggest people put their money in then? Gold? Guns?

The problems you describe are problems for just about every currency right now. How much of your money do you have in cash, and how much is in the bank? Do you think you will still be able to use the bank in a situation like the one you describe?
My experience with this (in Nevada) has been that the slot will keep track of your total credit value and cumulative winnings, so if you play a $30 credit for 10 minutes and hit "cash out," it should give you your total winnings, while keeping the remaining credit in the machine. ie. you don't need to print a cash out voucher every time you win.

> Did the job offer say "must attend morning meetings"? Some job offers specify work hours and most don't.

But there is implicit assumption in a job offer that meetings ought to be attended on time. Sometimes, meeting times are decided based on mutual convenience. Sometimes, they are dictated by your boss. Nothing wrong with that.
It's calling a man effeminate as an insult. That's not solely used to stigmatize gay people, but that's one of its main uses, along with stigmatizing gender-nonconforming people. I don't see much of a way to salvage it as anything but a right-wing, culturally reactionary term, any way you spin it; at best, it's imagined-1950s-gender-role garbage.

It was used when I was a kid too. But when I was a kid, people also used the words "Jewed" and "Gypped" to mean "got ripped off", and "gay" to mean "bad". In retrospect those those were all... not so good. And now I'm an adult who is capable of reading and gaining knowledge about such things.

Unfortunately, something that CSS Zen Garden has also demonstrated, however unintentionally, is that to have so much flexibility with CSS you also need a bunch of extra non-semantic mark-up in the original HTML. We've developed a few tricks over the years using things like pseudo-elements to avoid some of this, but the HTML+CSS model isn't quite powerful enough at the moment to really live up to the ideal of complete separation of content from presentation.

Recruiters say a lot of shit. Some of it is borne from ignorance (limited technical knowledge), some from mis-aligned incentives (contingency placement structures, especially when contracts vary between clients, are terrible for aligning interests), and some from systemic failures (what's going on behind the scenes?).

My company, Mighty Spring (https://www.mightyspring.com), is working to solve all of these issues. Our platform helps you passively monitor incoming opportunities, see exactly how your background is being represented to employers, and get access to the useful market information that good recruiters provide.

Since I have been to Redwood City and am going to be living there permanently starting a few months from now, I was a little confused.

Note that they don't seem to use the most granular data level, but zoomed out I get the number as $45,568 for tract #060816102.02 as opposed to their $30,800. $45k is still low compared to the surrounding areas, but it's far away from $30k.

There's a well known saying by statistician George Box that "All models are wrong, but some of them are useful."

Economic models are like maps, physical models, and every other type of models in that they are gross simplifications of reality.

Like every other type of model, those simplifications can be cause a decision maker to reach false conclusions. When that occurs, we should try to figure out how to improve the models so they are more useful.

The fact that economic models aren't perfect isn't news to the economics profession, but it isn't a realistic expectation either.
