“Cycle” is a myth. There is no guarantee that any pattern you have seen in the past will repeat in any shape or form in the future.

>> Vanguard tracks data to predict the likelihood of a recession at certain points in the future. Having read nearly the entire literary output of one Nassim Taleb, I'd like to see the results of past predictions on this one. I&#

It gets worse: there are u-pick farms where you _come and pick stuff yourself_ and they still charge you more than grocery store.

State of the art is basically 8 bit weights. Anything below that doesn't really work. You will see lots of benchmarks and figures saying that it does, but nearly all of those neglect the absolute accuracy, meaning, they compare deeply

I once bought Chilean grapes at a local "farmers" market. Since then I don't go to farmer's markets.

What's shocking is that buying from a farm is _more_ expensive than Whole Foods for you (or for anybody else for that matter). The price they charge wholesalers can be easily 1/10th of what you pay at a grocery store for a lot of

I was hoping for the whole 18TB Google Open Images in one torrent, but alas, they only offer metadata for download, same as Google itself. What a bear of a dataset it is to obtain and work with.

Q400 can do 69 miles in 10 minutes. Distance between SeaTac and Space Needle is 15 miles.

^ This is the right answer. Find another, better paying day job. That shouldn’t be super hard if you’re in the US. Do not steal time from your family, you will 100% regret it eventually, guaranteed.

Create a “valet key” which lets the engineer to do what he/she needs to do but doesn’t allow to take off.

Well, require that only pilots have access to the key then.

Had the guy been a terrorist, he could have flown that plane into Seattle or into SeatTac airport itself. They wouldn't get here in time because they were flying in from Portland. We all got lucky this time.

Yeah, a freakin _ignition key_ would have made this whole thing impossible.

An array of value types (including structs) in .NET (not just C#) is laid out contiguously in memory and stored in-place like an array of C/C++ structs would be. The problem of chasing pointers does not exist if you use structs (and do

C# had value types from day one.

I agree. But I don't see how it has any bearing on the situation: they are affected by the extremely high housing prices as well, to a much greater extent, and real estate taxes, while high, represent only a small fraction of state rev

ID is also required to receive welfare or exercise the 2nd amendment or 1st amendment right to peaceful assembly (many municipalities require a permit for that, which will not be issued to a person without an ID). It's interesting that

Isn’t the entire production capacity pre-ordered at least a year out? I mean, how much more “demand” for a $45k car can there be?

There was a "consensus among economists" that US economy would tank under Trump, and that it can't grow at anything over 3%, and that "those jobs are not coming back". To quote Paul Krugman, the perennial darling of

About time it slowed down. My house is over 2x what I paid for it 6 years ago. I pay $10k/yr in taxes just to live in it, WTF.

Phtt. Migrate? That's crazy talk. Rewrite! On a more serious note: that's why I exited frontend dev 15 years ago and never looked back. I now do hard-ass C and C++, and once I write something it runs for many years with no changes

There is (or at least _was_ when I last tried FDE) one major fly in this ointment: you lose the ability to reboot your machine remotely. Upon restarting it required that you enter the password, which you can only do from a local keyboard.

Slippery slope, if I've ever seen one. This can and will be used against legitimate dissidents and protesters at some point, that I can pretty much guarantee. Bottom line: I'd be much more comfortable if takedowns could only be do

With doc you don’t have to stare over the candidate’s shoulder. The interviewer can just share the doc with him/herself and watch as you type. That’s what I used to do. The main goal is actually to make sure the candidate stays on the

Didn't even read the article: calling BS. Model 3 is easily twice as expensive. It is a better car by all accounts, but the steep price differential will make it safe from becoming the "green car of choice".

Nay, unless the candidate wants the whiteboard. Even Google doesn't mandate whiteboard anymore: you can write your code on the provided Chromebook. Some people choose whiteboard, though, for reasons unknown. I think whiteboard (or a sh

Once again I agree with the first part of what you said and disagree with the rest. Yes, changes in some of the clauses do require board approval, and no, I absolutely do impute intentionality to abusive contracts. It’s not like the company

Yes, that’s another excuse that will inevitably be fielded: that those are “market” terms. It was tried in my case. Miraculously I ended up getting everything I wanted the moment I told them I was going to leave. Now, my negotiating positio

I lucked out hiring a great lawyer remotely through LawTrades (no affiliation). I'm not sure where I'd find such a person locally.

That's true. Don't neglect the cash base salary either, and don't overvalue the upside potential, because probabilistically speaking even under the best of circumstances it is likely worth much less than you think. Certain am
