"If you're the only person who knows something, you become a liability."

So I had that philosophy when I was in the Marine Corps, well because I wanted my Marines and myself to survive and carry out the mission.

Sharing knowledge in the business world, never. That's a great way to lose a job.
Yea, some people are disappointed; some of the more interesting and exciting moments in physics are when we find out we're wrong, but not always. E.g. I will never forget the time and place I heard about the preliminary detection of primordial B-modes by BICEP (which turned out to be dust contamination) -- that was a predicted detection from canonical inflation models, as the Higgs was a standard prediction from the standard model (also a pretty exciting moment).

Not seeing something when we "expect" to not see anything (from the perspective of certain models) might be more boring, but it's definitely not a "waste" (again speaking purely from a physicist's standpoint).

We know the standard model is incomplete, but where and how are not well known. Not seeing evidence for new physics rules out certain models, and places upper/lower limits on others. It's progress either way.
It's super interesting, because after more than a year now, I'm barely at the "sometimes I guess it would be nice to see my coworkers and be able to talk about them in person". But, emphasis on "sometimes".
Oh yes! I remember ;)

Will add 'related' to my comment above.
Tangentially related, but if I were to run for president I'd run on a single issue platform: Imprison anyone involved with the current state of online recipes. Want to write your 10 page life story for baked mac & cheese? Boom, 5 years in the slammer. Want to put 12 different ads on your recipe for baked Alaska Char? 10 year minimum sentence.

Involved in encouraging this behavior from the inside of Google? Sorry bub, that's gonna be three consecutive life sentences.
The extra instructions were mostly fine, the NEC V20/V30 implemented them too, the 186 had built-in peripheral functions like timers and the interrupt controller that were different to those in a PC.

You couldn't use the array bound check instruction as it used the interrupt used by the PC BIOS for Print Screen.
My CEO sent out a company wide email admitting we had succeeded in becoming a remote company, and proceeded to tell us remote work is not an option going forward. So... no.
Web components and tagged strings are the most obvious way.
The reviews on Amazon look really suspicious.

http://www.amazon.com/4-Hour-Body-Uncommon-Incredible-Superh...

In the past few hours since the book was put on sale, there have been 90+ five star reviews.

Either this is one of the best book every published, of the publisher/author has been organizing or paying for reviews.
Just out of curiosity, what makes Proper Suit better than Indochino or others? Also, where are your suits made?

I've never bought a suit online, but am considering.
I like the "Spartan" UI here. Also, I believe it serves to keep the signal to noise ratio high, in a way, by filtering out a set of potential readers/voters that would not add value in the aggregate.

That said, I wish there were 2 enhancements — [1] a search bar|function that would list matches in date order and [2] a little markup to make mobile/tablet viewing easier on the eyes — a chore that could be as simple as adding a meta viewport line in the HTML (would accommodate iOS devices).

Author of the post here,

The blog post it's about last night and what I call CDT - call for Docker Tutorial.

One of the ideas we had last night was to do an open request for the Docker tutorial you would like to see.
I was typically sleeping 7+ hours per night, but the stress from the day was giving me scrambled restless dreams. Nowadays I sleep 10+ hours per night.
Edit: added reply to 'vkjv' below as I have hit the comment threshhold and have been unable to reply to this account. Since HN seems to be somewhat unsure of node's concept of IO (why I imagine the downmods) and why it's significantly different to common Python and Ruby setup (Tornado and EventMachine excepted).

The main point of nginx is event based, non-blocking IO. That's why traditionally blocking languages (like your Python setup) use nginx for static content and their own engines for dynamic stuff.

However event based, non-blocking IO is also the main point of node. So most people using, say Express would use the express module's inbuilt 'static' middleware rather than add an entire webserver to replicate the built-in functionality.

Unless there's a compelling reason to do SSL elsewhere (for example, an AWS ELB would allow you to isolate & consolidate your SSL in a separate layer) then you'd want to avoid adding complexity.

Edit: reply to vkjv:

> it still needs to serialize that data from I/O to the request and that is both blocking and slow.

No. If the socket wasn't ready, node wouldn't block writing data there. streams are evented and that includes sockets. Hence the callback on socket.write() https://nodejs.org/api/net.html#net_socket_write_data_encodi...

var socket = new net.Socket();
socket.write(...)
console.log('Yep sockets are non blocking too')

This is why both node and nginx have outperformed each other in different tests.

Agreed, if you're already using nginx for other reasons, eg, load balancing, you should use nginx for SSL. If you're not, think carefully before doubling the size of your stack without specific reason to do so.

Perhaps because they're security conscious zones and often have heavily armed officers present?
Before banning something because it may have a 0.0001% chance of being bad for the Earth's climate, you should be sure that it doesn't have a 0.0002% chance of being good for the Earth's climate.

That's why you need science and proof to try to know the truth, or at least do the best effort. If you don't care about the truth you can use Tarot cards or Ouija tables, that are cheaper and least wasteful than a bunch of Ph.D. that just want to put buoys and launch satellites to measure everything.
You may also want to mention in your post what languages and frameworks you're already using.

If you have a java, scala, or clojure backend, using Mahout to make item to item recommendations is pretty simple to do. If you have a different language, I would just look into libraries for collaborative filtering in that language.
Why are you talking publicly about a billionaire? Who elected you?

> Tech companies have demonstrated a very clear liberal bias (which in itself isn't a bad thing necessarily).

The bias here is that the election has concluded with a clear winner in accordance with state law and the Constitution, and one man is using their platforms to make people doubt the integrity of the election.

Given how difficult it is to build trust in democracy and how easy it is to collapse it, I think that these companies would be irresponsible to continue providing a megaphone for these claims.

Alternative sites dedicated to the people who feel like they are "under attack" fail to launch because it turns out that catering to these people leads to nothing but misinformation, racism, and content that is either borderline or outright child pornography.

My 2c on this issue is that we will not resolve this situation by accommodating conspiracy theories and racism. Instead, the only way that we can reconcile these two groups of people is by ensuring that everyone sees the same news - recommenders that have partitioned the world in half need to be done away with, even if it reduces user engagement.
> I do agree with the author, that you should use the simplest tools you can get away with, but (text-files + jekyll + this + that) isnt just text files, as you say its a precarious stack no less complex than some software package or whatever.

They are advocating for sellotaping tools together to build a workflow near the end of the article.

> I guess if you do just want the truly simplest tool for a website, html is probably better than text files, even if it is a bit less ergonomic to write with

Writing HTML when you are trying to write content is pretty painful. Way back in the distant past I used to charge about £100 a HTML page. I ended up learning Perl (and later PHP) so I wouldn't have to write HTML.
Thanks - very kind of you!

I thought that was a typo and that he meant “20 years before the second major outbreak...”

But no, there was an Ebola outbreak in the mid 70s. Kind of scary to see a disease that can keep popping up.

I wonder what's the motive to target StackOverflow? A disgruntled ex-employee?
Would you still exert this much effort to minimize or trivialize if we were talking about 10 year old children instead of 13 year old children?

What if it was 8 year old children? Would you feel differently then?
What does memory usage have to do with ease of deployment ?
Congratulations Go uses less memory. Is that really a bottleneck these days ?

And sure you only need to replace one binary. Java can do that too but also has the flexibility to hot deploy new code/libraries so no costly outage.

Javascript and user-submitted forms are trusted code on modern browsers and web apps. And people wonder why we need to upgrade our browsers every two weeks. (Well, besides feature creep)
I mean that's also true, representatives left to their own devices would come up with something that completely breaks any sense of practicality while still failing to accomplish whatever cause they thought they were addressing.
Society overall needs a punishment/rehab system for people that do things that go against the rules of society. Prisons are the system we have right now. Maybe we need to experiment with other ideas?
I'm only seeing "a" -- am I missing something?
Literally all case law disagrees with you on that point.

The wheat restrictions were constitutional and the power to impose such restrictions is still part of U.S. law.
They may not have slowed covid-19 but they appear to have been effective against numerous other illnesses ( influenza, colds, etc.)
Everything you listed are good points using theoretical, book knowledge, but isn't the only "objective" way to evaluate the two posters to put them in front of a sample of the target audience and measure their reaction? What you're doing is applying general guidelines as if you can determine the overall quality of a design by running the design through a checklist.

For example, you dock the left for having indistinct headers with inadequate contrast. But that's actually a good thing, since the headers are useless in both posters! But only in the right example are they distracting because they followed the "good design checklist".

A better test might be: what if this was a street sign? I'd probably have to get out of my car to read the one on the right. If the goal is to convey information quickly and efficiently, I think the left one has the edge.
The important information is not "Beginner Class" but rather "Starts Sunday..."— The right one is better, but absent a bit more emphasis on that, you're not getting anything out of it.
I'm in love /w this post! Not only is it informative but it clearly expresses the differences between decision making in real-world scenarios and delving deep into the data for an 'on-paper' optimal decision.

Do you figure he'd insert opposing viewpoints into feminist "safe spaces?" Maybe people worried about the government exerting "cognitive infiltration" want a safe space free of government cognitive infiltrators.
Nope. I believe in outcomes not freedoms. Wage a war on drugs and you get violence and overdoses. Ban abortions and you get them done in back alleys. Enforce vaccinations and you save thousands of lives. One of these things is not like the others.
I think this document is a bit too belligerent. "STOP DOING xxx". Really, users should be free to do as they wish. I prefer using console a lot (though I use GUI a lot too!). But I wouldn't force others to do so. Educating them how (if they're interested) is a great thing. Making it sound like they're doing it wrong is not.

PS: One thing where a GUI really shines is picking a bunch of files from a folder and moving them elsewhere, based on a manual criterium that isn't easily identified by a wildcard. For instance, from a folder of documents pick all the ones related to a certain topic. A GUI shines for this, commandline is horrible for it. If I don't have a GUI available I will use mc for this.

However for other tasks, the commandline is gold. Finding all JPGs in a huge tree of folders and moving them all to one central folder. Easily accomplished with 'find -exec'. Very much work to do in GUI with default platform tools, usually you'd have to download some utility to do this.

So, for me they are both great options with their strengths and weaknesses. They complement each other. A good operator should be aware of both.
I'm pretty sure it's called "back" because of the direction it tilts.

‘Inception’ shows someone who tries to do something like that, but there seems to be a vulnerability.
Vim supports arrow keys as well as hjkl (although the original vi only uses hjkl; it was designed for use with a keyboard that does not have separate arrows).

I knew the things listed here, although not all of the details they mention. For the months, I would have used 1 for January (due to the convention in most things), but otherwise implement the code in a similar way to what they have there, effectively using 3 less than the string address as the base offset; in assembly language (and in an optimizing C compiler) this would be equally efficient to the code that they have.

(Also, the arrows in Dance Dance Revolution are also in this order; I don't know if that is just a coincidence though. It does mean that an implementation using a computer keyboard could allow keys HJKL to be used, and it is easily understandable.)
Whether or not TCE is responsible for these outcomes related to Parkinson's, certainly TCE is a well-known toxin. One famous case related to TCE was Anderson v. Cryovac Inc. which had to do with contaminated groundwater in Woburn, Massachusetts in the 1980s related to an statistically unusual increased level of Leukemia in the children there. The case was the basis for the book, A Civil Action, by Jonathan Harr, which was also turned into a subsequent movie of the same name, starring John Travolta.

Both the book (and the movie) are actually quite good and worth checking out.
Maybe use a "happier" example than COVID cases on your landing page? Something that people aren't depressed to see go up? Seeing a graph of COVID trending upwards is going to put potential users into a negative mindset immediately, not something you want when they are learning about your new product. It's definitely low-hanging fruit for "everyone knows what this is and why you might want metrics on it" but I'd try and come up with another example data set.
Just saw this now. Not sure you caught the context, which was implied by the poster above. This was 1998, when loads of major corporations were terrified of "the Y2k bug" which was talked about in very apocalyptic terms. There was a scramble to find COBOL programmers, because it was feared that the majority of the bugs were in long-running COBOL systems, but most competent COBOL developers at that point had retired. It's true that I didn't follow up with those folks (other than to say, "no thanks"), but being contacted by multiple recruiters promising six-figure salaries was very much a thing.
Is NNUE used by any Go AI? I've only heard of it being used for shogi and chess.
> wouldn't it be easier to implement this in Factor than in Haskell?

I have no idea. I chose Haskell primarily because of the excellent "Typing Haskell in Haskell" resource: https://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~mpj/thih/

I'm getting close to having enough language features working to implement Dawn in itself, though. As soon as I reach that milestone, I plan to write a Dawn-to-C translator sufficient to compile a simple self-hosted interpreter via C, from which point the language will be fully self hosted.
In the US (and in much of the western world), Russia is still the bad guy and is still out there.
Not much, except that his friends were trying to rip him (along his soon-to-be widow and children) off while he was very busy dying.

That excepted, nothing very serious... Just a lot of drama.
I'm about to give it a shot, and I'll let you know how it goes. :) Joking aside, I think the first chapter of SICP is the most useful, straightforward, and gentle (yes, gentle!) introduction to programming in existence.

While it obviously sucks that your students can't figure out text editors and scripts, I hope to alleviate some of the pain by using Racket, its integrated editor, and the "Run" button on the toolbar.

This is very alarming. Although, if this is true and these bacteria are resistant to most antibiotics we have, and are so common, why aren't we dropping by the millions already?

Edit: Ah, so they are just a kind that don't harm humans. Thanks.
Robert Pike[1] was recently more elonquent and concise:

Concurrency is a programming model that lets you express things that are independent, as independent executions

...and parallelism is about running two things at the same time.

Paul is telling his side of the story. Who thought Bill Gates was a saint? He probably thought that he was working a lot harder than Paul the entire time. He was driven. When Paul got cancer, I imagine he realized there's a lot more to life than work, and started enjoying life even more. Microsoft was Bill's life.

This probably happens in lots of successful startups. Some people slack off and want to enjoy life, while others are driven. What's the best way to handle it?

In the end, it's great that we hear the real story, warts, and all.
I'm pretty sure you'd only be detecting alpha and/or beta particles, depending on the materials in the camera. Gamma detection would really require either a Geiger counter or a pair production type of detector, or a APD/PMT detector.
> These strains of staph are not the kind that causes food poisoning...
You don't need one if you have all the knowledge and time in the world, with the network to take advantage of it. So, yes, in most cases you need one.

Now, if you can build a prototype or get traction using your existing team, do it first. You'll get better candidates that way, and be at a place where you have a better ability to choose between them.

I agree with other comments here that state their value add should be obvious.
Good thinking. If this effect turned out to be true, directionality would be useful data as well. It could be like foursquare, but for getting nuked.

I gave them whatever they needed. Nothing was out of order.

Then one of the cops blatantly asked me for some cash. I said I had everything was in order. His reply? "Sir, thoda cash do na. Naya saal hai. Daru peeni hai" ("Sir, it's new year's eve. Give me some cash, we want to get drunk")

UPDATE: This post by the fellow leading the Clojure Alioth effort shows that the JVM GC settings are probably off for some of the benchmarks, http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/msg/8de18e3719aa376a. This shows just how early days it is for Clojure microbenchmarks :)

Those are benchmarks for Clojure 1.2.0. The Clojure 1.3.0 alphas introduce quite a few things that specifically make numerical code quite a bit faster as well as boosting overall performance.

Being competitive with Scala and Java is a real goal for Clojure so expect the performance story to continue improve for some time.

While I don't know of any real-world Clojure cases for mission critical applications - Clojure has been run Azul boxes where the GC is collecting some like 6gbs a sec. Turns out that only takes up about 6% of CPU time. So I think Rich is onto something here about the memory cost of immutable data structures in high performance code and the incredible guarantees of the JVM's GC.

On Alioth microbenchmarks you probably won't see those benefits.

No. contemporary economies have figured out that everyone is better of doing "wealth exchange" instead of coercing people for their wealth.
