Oh, really? Does that mean that, if you owe $1000 in tax, you can give it to a charity of your choice, rather than the government? That sounds like a pretty big advantage.

Autonomous trucks will almost certainly platoon and be much more fuel efficient anyway.

That huge truck stop in Tucumcari, NM might survive, but only from selling fuel. Not from all the food and showers and ancillary items.
Right, that's called trackage rights and are given priority time slots over freight trains. However when the slot is missed then the trains are treated as any other freight.
But this isn't surprising behavior and it's not edge case behavior either. It's exactly what the docs say will happen, and you don't even need to read the docs, it's exactly what you'd expect, given what the interface is and what that implies about how the feature could possibly be implemented.

As an asian yourself don't belittle your upbringing by assuming you need to be 'improved' by special programs to make you a better all around fit. You're better off being proud of your race or family line and whatever demonstrated intelligence level and then pursue your career interests which (hopefully for us will also align with bettering the world).

Let's face it, the harvard admissions process is secretive they aren't giving all candidates a thorough review, they aren't looking deeply into 150,000 applications in a three month period. They can't. So they dump and dump based on subjective and biased methods being careful to honor first and foremost those requirements like affirmative action. And then they probably get the quota and then start onto the smaller piles. In other words all the activities an Asian might be on, they can and will be overlooked because somebody else has a righter color at the right time when the stack of applications are being sorted by whatever computer or individual at that step.

So to question, "maybe I need a better holistic upbringing?" Bullshit. in this case it's highly likely many many many of these asians had a remarkable upbringing that would satisfy anyone but they got dumped for somebody so the color factor was satisfied.
Wonderful or terrible, depending on who and how many see the benefits of that transformation.
I am a huge fan and advocate of PG but just for some perspective: CUBE and ROLLUP were present in SQL Server in the '90s.

According to "A Year in Pyongyang" (written by a Brit, see http://www.aidanfc.net/a_year_in_pyongyang_1.html), in the 80s under Kim Il Sung there were plenty of people laughing in the streets. He describes many workers as having an attitude similar to playful children, and in particular he describes actual kids as "the pampered citizens of North Korea": always laughing, always playing, pampered by everyone. Keep in mind this was an account that didn't downplay the harsh realities of life in NK. It was also the 80s; things may have changed a lot since then.

So yes, I think it is confirmation bias on your part. Life in NK is probably not like we think it is. It is bizarre to us, yes, but the average person probably doesn't live in fear of soldiers raiding their homes, or in dread the Beloved Leader orders them killed. In all likelihood, regardless of how actual life in NK is, those are all fantasies on our part; preconceptions of how life in a weird dictatorship actually is.

I think I, a Westerner, wouldn't like living in NK. At the same time, I really do not think it's a living hell for its citizens -- certainly not in the movie-style dictatorship we sometimes imagine it to be.
Your own link calls mode an average, and the quote you provided says nothing about it not being an average. I'm not sure what you are trying to demonstrate with it.

I think it's reasonable to ask: "who is this bugging?"

When I was learning Go it took me about 5 minutes to understand how slices work, and I've never had a problem with this behaviour in my work (or my coworkers' work).

Also, it's very rare to see anyone in the #go-nuts IRC asking for help with slices, which leads me to believe that most people don't really have a problem understanding them. You yourself clearly have a solid understanding of them. The semantics are clearly defined in the spec and the internals are easy to understand if you read the docs.
We are talking about overanalyzing not just analyzing. So I think you are reacting to something I didn't really write. The context is overanalyzing.

And ex. a musician practice for thousands of hours (done that myself) they don't analyze. They can but thats not what makes you a good musicians.
Given the stall of real wages for the lower ends of the wealth spectrum, the replacement of human labor by machines seems slated for hunger and riots, since the human jobs aren't actually being replaced.

So yes, I expect it actually will be a rather terrible time.
Proponents of basic income use the same rhetoric. This is what I find dangerous. Overly ambitious politicians tripping the masses to rise against the evil rich bastards. Like for example in the heart of Europe - France. Or Hungary. Or plenty of other populist political parties in Europe. Most all of which linked with sponsorship from the Russian government.
I think a lot of it is indeed half-remembered dreams. I've woken from dreams believing that what happened was a memory, convinced of it, even though I was aware it was also a dream. Usually this only happens when I'm physically ill (I've been fighting a bad sinus infection and I've had some hyper-realistic dreams all week).

As a Mozilla Web Developer who has worked on several of our websites, including this one, this is exactly the thought process behind this kind of choice.

It's the same thought process behind 90% of the things we do that people hate Mozilla for. People think Mozilla is pure and 100% ideal by whatever standards that they make up themselves, but the truth is that Mozilla is _pragmatic_. Sometimes we do things that aren't great because to do so otherwise would hurt the greater mission.

For example, we don't exist to create 100% open source software 100% of the time. Instead, we _strongly_ believe what we say in our manifesto: "Free and open source software promotes the development of the Internet as a public resource." Sometimes, mostly when we're working with a partner (like a phone company) who can offer us significant leverage, we write some code that isn't immediately made public, and _that's okay_. Our end goal isn't to put more open source software in the world, it's to further the internet as a global public resource.

(Mozilla is also so diverse and disjointed that sweeping generalizations like the ones I just made are completely inaccurate. We make mistakes and we make bad choices. Mozilla is more like several different companies that happen to share the same name.)
Not just iOS. Chrome on Windows here, and I get the janky scrolling/CPU fan turning up as well.
The grandparent comment (i.e. by URspider94) is correct. What you write about banks is a common, but incorrect misconception about what banks do.

The truth of the matter is: Banks do not need deposits to make loans.

Quite the contrary: Banks make loaning decisions independent of the level of their deposits - and it is the loan that causes the deposit, rather than the other way around, because the money loaned by the bank eventually lands in somebody's deposit.

Think about it this way: A bank cannot force anybody to take out a loan. Instead, there is a demand for loans which banks satisfy (subject to checks of creditworthiness and available collateral). Whether person A spends $10 or puts it in a deposit does not change person B's demand for credit,[1] and therefore the amount lent by banks does not change either.

[1] Of course, this is not entirely true. There can be causal links, but their direction is totally uncertain. For example, person A deciding not to spend money could mean that person B's business begins to struggle and person B needs to take out a loan that they otherwise would not have had to take. In that case, saving does increase the level of loans, but in a way that most people would judge to be detrimental to the economy.

Conversely, person A deciding to spend the money could lead to person B's business projecting growth, which encourages person B to invest by taking out a loan. In this case, the loan level increases as well, and in a way that most people would judge to be beneficial.

The economy is complicated.
No, because that asian student would replace the white would just mean the white would replace the black or latino. the lower end falls off not the middle if you go by the academically qualified here.
Creating money to give to the people would certainly cause inflation, but that would be proportionally more damaging to people who already have money. So it would be beneficial to the poorest, even in the longer term. Still probably not a good idea though, I think it would screw with the global economy.
That's from one study, and it's 10 years ago. Not dispositive in the slightest.
SSAS and other cube (MOLAP) tools create persistent cubes as materialized views. Databases that do ROLAP processing create "cubes on the fly" which persist for the duration of the query.

If PG adopts a materialized view that supports controlled automatic maintenance, then you'd have something similar to what the MOLAP tools do.

Note that MOLAP is a trap of sorts (no pun intended).

I don't think the data agrees with "the amount of jobs available has been reduced so much that a good proportion of people just can't find a job". Unemployment now is not significantly higher than it has been over the last 70 years:

I agree with you, but I think there is more to it. pro-UBI typically compare our future to the turn of the industrial revolution (I think Crash Course does the best illustration of this massive change in the introduction to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhL5DCizj5c) but they should really look to the earlier change where people went from farms that they owned/leased and sold their goods in markets to the industrialization where people sold their labor. That was a big change and not altogether positive (for example that makes you beholden to the whims of an employer) - but nothing says that the future won't involve a shift towards smaller business as being the norm, rather than employment. We all know that large business are insanely inefficient, imagine what we could unlock if most of those workers instead worked for themselves? After all they would then have both the ability and the incentive to be smart about their business rather than following what management told them to do.

Will it be better for everybody? No? Will it be better for most? I think so.
Well first, congratulations on your graduation! That's huge.

Many of us have a tendency to mentally skip right past the milestones we're accomplishing and only focus on the distant ones. Taking the time to sit and appreciate the accomplishments you're making right now will lead you to a greater feeling of contentment. You're reaching a HUGE goal today, you should be proud of that, and take some time to just enjoy that fact.

All that being said, this part of your post concerns me:

> ... I feel I have missed the boat and can't sum up the courage to pursue what I truly like.

..That's crap man. It sounds like you already know what you wanna do. In my experience it's better to chase your dreams and fail than never pursue them at all. Fear is not a good reason to abandon your passions. Kids to feed, responsibilities to take care of, illnesses to battle...these are good reasons. But fear of failure should not hold you back.
I would say that browser usage, demography (country distribution etc.) and navigation paths (bounce rate, funnels, etc.) within the site are all important data points to optimize a non-profit website. I'm not sure anybody can make a point for GA to be life changing for that site, but the opposite is also true (the saving in privacy from visitors is not going to have a game-changing effect).

I also think that a pragmatic organization should focus on a few very important battles that it thinks it can win, rather than trying to fight everything in the name of ideology.
Similar to the windbelt:

Fluids tend to move as vortices so often reciprocating motion can be at least as efficient as rotary motion. For example it is (currently) difficult to replicate the efficiency of birds and fish with propellers.

Potentially (ahem) it's possible to extract work from ions in a flow, and if it's laminar there would be no vortex losses. Just for fun, here is an electrostatic turbine, which works a bit like an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) drive but in reverse. From what I understand, it's difficult to extract more work than it takes to ionize the fluid, so this cheats a bit by using liquid droplets:

That's not a difficult problem, the behavior is straightforwardly predictable. append says it will use the same slice until it has no more capacity. A slice reference behaves like it's a pointer, size, and capacity. If you're expecting reference b to "know" about what a has done, or vice versa, the problem is not with the language, it's with you.
This is why Rust has a borrow checker.

A slice is a mutable borrow. Rust only allows you one mutable borrow at a time per object. So does Go, as someone just found out the hard way. Rust checks this, and Go doesn't.

I've remarked in the past that borrow checking isn't fundamentally restricted to Go. Now that we have a usable theory of borrowing, it belongs in more languages.
It also seems like you'd be able to fit more of them into the same space. The company also claims that they're (allegedly) cheaper to manufacture and are (allegedly) cheaper to maintain. Even if the efficiency is less than those of a traditional windmill, it would still make sense to use them from a cost savings perspective alone.

That's if everything the company claims is true. Too many other alternative energy companies have made similar claims and failed to follow through for me to take this with anything other than a grain of salt.

edited for clarity.
That something is "expected" (for some definition of expected) doesn't mean the code is easy to reason about.

Initially, modifying "a" also modifies "b". Later, modifying "a" does not modify "b". I can't imagine a piece of code that uses "a" or b" that wouldn't care which of those two states the system is in.

And, knowing which of those two states code will be operating under will not be clear by simply looking at an arbitrary piece of code. The fact that it is well documented that transition may occur does not resolve this ambiguity.
I'm sorry, but the font choice on this website is horrendous and made reading the article a non-starter.
Decades of increasingly large and seemingly free lunches have gotten us to a point where people actually think there is such a thing.

But there isn't. The money has always had to come from somewhere, and it's always had consequences. It's just that the consequences can't be swept under the rug anymore, and soon even the most fervent propaganda will fail to convince the masses that everything is alright and the economy is recovering (when in reality it's not, and it's not).
Yeah once you learn about the "lone genius" myth, you see it all over the place, especially in movies and textbooks.

And you could say the same about null checks in C. And yet bugs of that sort still appear, up to and including in the linux kernel.
I guess only if you consider punctuation to be "words". A more accurate description would be "lexers work at the atom level", IOW breaking the input into atoms - the smallest non-breakable lexical units that are used in a grammar.
He says this statement is not true: "[Darwin] discovered the theory of evolution after studying finches on the Galápagos Islands". Granted, there is certainly more to the story than that, but unless he's suggesting that Darwin devised his theory before he went to the Galapagos, the statement is literally true.
should I be trying to fix this ~6 year behavior of running late?

Yes, really, you need to. From the subtext of your post, you seem to be late all the time and unable to fix your behavior. Your boss may be doing you a favor, to force you to reconsider that behavior. If you don't improve, I would expect you'll get fired eventually.

If I run a weekly meeting at 9am and you have been late every single time for the last 6 months, I'm going to be very unhappy. This has nothing to do with whether you do a good job the rest of the time.
What you're saying doesn't really seem specific to the so-called STEM fields.

Do these same 10 year olds know what a movie actor does at work on a day-to-day basis? Or a politician?

Do art students halfway through college have more than a vague notion of what their career will look like? What about English majors? History?
It would also be great if we could have chance to see lightnings with some(I don't know how) light effects on the picture when it is on. Just an idea.. Great job by the way!
The dangerous part is after the comma. If you read my comment at all you would know that my point is that guaranteeing the existential minimum to everyone means that they just stop caring about other shit and the political elite goes down the slippery slope.

You're fighting a straw man. Nobody's arguing against holistic admissions. But many people think holistic admissions shouldn't include race.
So, besides the virtual DOM, I feel like it's east to write React-like code in Angular. Just make directives that are real tight, with unidirectional flow of events and get passed only the values they need. Perhaps I'm missing something.
The tethers wouldn't interfere with air travel?
The code in this example is very easy to reason about. Because it's a single function.

If it's hard to reason about two different handles of shared data where one of them is used to modify the shared data... don't do that. append is for operating on a slice that your code is using exclusively. Like in this example, where it's all in the same function and the behavior's predictable.
And what's your point? That the efficacy or applicability of these ideas is somehow diminished by their presence in the political rhetoric of European minor parties?
> typically you'd want to set up your environment in ~/.profile (or ~/.bash_profile)

It's an early optimization, that generally no longer is worth the complexity. I put everything in .bashrc. I'm more likely to break out a separate environment shell file by related or complex tasks to assist in testing/debugging my environment.

Off the top of my head, based off things we normally look for in our analytics:

- See how people get to the privacy page from where they enter the site. Useful to see if some categories are getting more traffic than others, so that we can re-balance if, for example, we think that Privacy is not getting the attention we want it to.

- See how long people are staying on this page. What if the writing or infographic don't make sense to users? We can try and improve them so that users come away with a better understanding of privacy.

- How are users interacting with those circles? If they're not hovering over any of the circles, maybe we should make it auto-switch between them to draw the user's eye over. Or maybe if they're only hovering over the first three, we should make those first three the most important aspects of privacy to make sure they're seen.

The goal of Shape of the Web is (in my eyes) to educate users about the issues that the open internet faces today, and to help give them a framework for thinking about what the web is (it's hard to think about a thing if you don't know how it's "shaped"). All of these metrics help us improve the page's ability to convey information so we can better educate users.
The fact alone that this project is still alive and growing makes me happy. If you never did anything yourself in this direction, well, IMO you should be too.
