I'm not sure how to validate this source - but very interesting way to get a sense for broad AI adoption in market.

Is your math right?

I believe you would need to add it to your local dns host configuration.

For example (on a mac): https://setapp.com/how-to/edit-mac-hosts-file

64.62.134.190 pinboard.in

I believe this happened with Lyft Line and Uber Pool.

That doesn't always work, and is still quite dangerous in the (abstract), usually your other programmers are friendly, but you should definitely be careful about it.

Proof of concept: https://jordaneldredge.com/blog/one-way-curl-pipe-sh-install...

I've played around with vimscript and my .vimrc many many times, and always found it very unwieldy. I've started using a new and very different approach, which involves using the amoffat/snake library to write my new .vimrc functions in python. This is definitely not for everyone, but I've been able to do some pretty cool stuff with it, like creating a function for writing trace like debug statements, or sending the currently selected vim lines to a shell via the window manager/os level, rather than a terminal multiplexer like screen. If anyone else is interested, an example can be found at gist.github.com/sac2171/ce7b086421e8387193fd

That was one of the best articles I've read in a while. While I think the article could have had a better title, and it doesn't dispose any 'useful' information, it is incredibly well written, and interesting.

For a second I believed this was an april's fools joke due to:

Not my app, but I assume because it's made by a college student in the area, who would like to see how the proof of concept develops.

Something about this sounded sketchy...

Being young, I stumbled on PK Ware once while doing a task for a job. I started inquiring about their service, and was slightly rude to a rep. The conversation went something like...

Me: Why would I pay 40 dollars for zipping software I get for free? You guys are totally late to the game, winzip and winrar already exist.

Rep: ....... Yea, we started the industry, and our founder died from alcohol abuse...

Me: Good joke...

.......

It's a sad tale indeed.

A lot of people are mentioning the idea that this should actually be a continuous curve... As someone who has used the cafeteria for a couple months, I would say this is most likely an over optimization. You are creating a complication for every transaction, and making it so now there is now set points where you can save the most money, namely at the beginning/end of the window. Which actually creates more of the two 'two hump system' swombat, saalweachter, smickie and others have mentioned. Just like there is a natural gradient to lunch from 12 to 1, you still get a gradient in the discounted hours. 11:30 isn't a better time to eat lunch then 11:55, It's simply an attempt to split up lunch times so that the cafeteria can effectively have 3 rush hour instead of 1. And since traffic effects aren't linear, you get a much quicker overall experience as a result. "The people standing around" is overplayed, Those are the people's elevator rides who were are little shorter/longer than expected.

I just graduated from another elite institution, and I truly wish this had been a part of my convocation.

If I ever do open a school, we will have a succinct version as part of the school creed/honor code.

Why wouldn't one use a simple #?

Could you provide a link?

Even Musk and Tesla are partially assisted by the government...

There is a large false dichotomy between science and religion, that 'Christian' biologist does give a large degree of more information.

What part of that seems crazy to you? It seems pretty clear, concise and true to me...

Is this a parody?

Slightly silly question, but can anyone tell me what font he uses on the first couple of code screenshots? Something about them look astoundingly clear, and I can't figure out what it is about them.

(I wish my code looked like that)

see "Dark Wizards" from the Pragmatic Programmer. (Not that I agree with him, but it's not an uncommon criticism.)

This is the first post that I would down vote if I could. Learning might not be binary, but the industrial revolution was built on the division of labor, and all Jeff was saying is that not everyone needs to learn how to code. If computer scientists/programmers/coders do their job properly, people with absolutely no understanding of the workings of their computers will be able to drive effectively, just as people can drive without understanding how a car works. Some level of encapsulation is a good thing, and while learning how certain things work is generally a good idea, it comes with an opportunity cost, which is especially high when we are talking about the mayor of NYC. Should Obama be learning how to code? Absolutely not. I agree with most of Zed's argument, however he does not respond to Jeff at all.
