I agree.

I recommend "A Mathematician’s Lament" by Paul Lockhart. It's an excellent essay on math education. The entire paper is long but even the first 5 pages are great. It covers everything from the unacknowledged creativity that is involved in math to the culture and curriculum.

Except apple advises you not to use reference counting when trying to debug. So when reference counting doesn't work, you still have to go back and manually count the references yourself...
I've written parsers both as top down and bottom up. Nite that neither is naturally incremental and some memoization is required, so for bottom up, you see if the parent you want to create already exists, for top down, your child. It is sort of a wash which one is better, but both are pretty trivial.

I use top down recursive descent these days backed up with memoization. When a change to the token stream comes, you simply damage the most inner tree that contains the token, or if on a boundary, damage multiple trees.
Big difference is that Startups usually offer some amount of equity. Instead of just being exploited, you're gambling on taking a lower salary now and having it pay off later.

It never really pays off later for game programmers.
Apple taking on this issue is worthy of respect, but let's not pretend that Apple respects all user consent. They're constantly forcing things on their users with thinly veiled justifications like "security".
Does the language have the sort of precision required to say something like "rotund gentleman" instead? If not I can't really blame someone from saying something in the most polite way a language practically allows.
Unpaid work isn't slavery, it's volunteering. It's only slavery if (for example) you're locked up in prison and beaten by a guard if you don't do it.
Right, I think we agree on the math here. When we read about people in the 18th century drinking beer with breakfast, they weren't having a standard drink. It was more likely a very low ABV drink.

If you drank a gallon of 1%ABV beer every day, you'd have 3.65 gallons of ethanol per year. That's not exactly what was happening - binges on whiskey and rum were common, but they weren't constantly buzzed, either.

That much alcohol is going to be bad for a liver no matter how you drink it. I don't think this was healthy. My point is just that there was less inebriation than we suppose when we think about drinking beer with breakfast

There’s a simple way to effect change at the legislative level: force cities to pay for police misconduct settlements out of existing police budgets and pension funds, rather than apportioning taxpayer money to do so.
Helm, in my personal opinion, is one of the biggest mistakes of the kubernetes ecosystem. Not embracing Jsonnet, Cue, Dhall, or even an in-language DSL like Pulumi has set the usability of kube back quite far.

I think nurses are an excellent example of systemic racism/sexism. Being a nurse used to be seen as an exclusively male profession. Given that it is pretty clear it is a cultural rather than innate association. How we handle this is really complicated and requires a lot more thought than “lets do nothing, it must be natural this is way”.

That was some failed state shit that happened yesterday.
Apologies if it was vague. Essentially, I want to 'teach' the team how to code properly so the products in production don't keep breaking. A standard way of coding such that later, we can audit/review the codebase based on.

I am looking for a 'software quality assurance checklist' but whatever I have found on the web, is too general/not related to actual coding best practices.

Example: some people use OOP without returning anything in a method, some people use OOP but treat a method as a function that takes inputs and outputs.

I know this is general, but how do you enforce a single style of coding to people? how do you audit a piece of code? based on what?

It's not my job to be a backseat parent. But the attitude in our field of "Up with CS, everything else is crap" needs to stop.

There's a certain ego endemic to our field, stoked by politicians who worship the "STEM fields", that other fields are "less important" or "less useful". Maybe my view is skewed because, both in high school and college, I was blessed with stellar history teachers. Understanding how the world works - what makes people, people, the situations that have led people to where they are today - learning what we can repeat and what we can avoid repeating? There's a whole lot of value in that, and this attitude contributes heavily to the lack of human decency in our field.

Even from a purely "practical" perspective, the gap between being good at "coding" and being good at "writing software" is the "writing". Probably the most prolific engineer I know from my alma mater was an history and philosophy major, and I honestly believe a great writer is closer to being a great software engineer than a great algorithmist.

And yet my alma mater creates and harbors a culture where CS majors above history majors in the academic hierarchy.

I’m not arguing they aren’t form of advertising. Same as ransomware is a form of encryption. Should we ban encryption, because it’s being used for bad things as well?

I’m also not hostile to an idea that advertising maybe net negative. I’d love to see a study that shows that. But I’m very septic about someone bringing that idea as a given truth, while they lack even most basic knowledge about advertising.
> Guess who benefits from that: surplus countries like Germany, which are perfectly content with having Greeks buy their exports in €.

Supposedly lots of German banks were investing in Greece and Spain because returns there were good compared to the abysmal rates in Germany. So the ECB/IMF 'bail out' ended up being a bit of a rescue of the German banks:

> According to a study by the European School of Management and Technology only €9.7bn or less than 5% of the first two bailout programs went to the Greek fiscal budget, while most of the money went to French and German banks.[84] (In June 2010, France's and Germany's foreign claims vis-a-vis Greece were $57bn and $31bn respectively. German banks owned $60bn of Greek, Portuguese, Irish and Spanish government debt and $151bn of banks' debt of these countries.)[85] According to a leaked document, dated May 2010, the IMF was fully aware of the fact that the Greek bailout program was aimed at rescuing the private European banks – mainly from France and Germany. A number of IMF Executive Board members from India, Brazil, Argentina, Russia, and Switzerland criticized this in an internal memorandum, pointing out that Greek debt would be unsustainable. However their French, German and Dutch colleagues refused to reduce the Greek debt or to make (their) private banks pay.[86][87]

My frame of reference for the argument about Mesos vs k8s is from earlier in the timeline when the k8s was up and coming and just starting to compete with Mesos. Just as in my analogy with Rails: at it's inception, it lacked a bunch of features, but it was accessible. Years later, Rails had many of those features.

k8s is the same. Operators didn't come around until late 2016 by CoreOS and even then they weren't widely adopted. It wasn't until after RedHat bought CoreOS and pushed operators as a pattern into k8s that the pattern took off. As it is, the k8s version of the operator framework only went 1.0 last year.

Finally, I should have pointed it out in my original comment, the Mesos vs k8s comparison isn't perfect apples and apples. Mesos is just a component in a stack, whereas k8s is effectively a full stack. Again, Rails was pitched as an opinionated, batteries-included framework compared to many of the more focused frameworks that, for their niche, may have been better, but the convenience of having everything in one packages won out.
"Anybody who looks at living organisms knows perfectly well that they can produce other organisms like themselves. This is their normal function, they wouldn’t exist if they didn’t do this, and it’s not plausible that this is the reason why they abound in the world. In other words, living organisms are very complicated aggregations of elementary parts, and by any reasonable theory of probability or thermodynamics highly improbable. That they should occur in the world at all is a miracle of the first magnitude; the only thing which removes, or mitigates, this miracle is that they reproduce themselves. Therefore, if by any peculiar accident there should ever be one of them, from there on the rules of probability do not apply, and there will be many of them, at least if the milieu is reasonable. But a reasonable milieu is already a thermodynamically much less improbable thing. So, the operations of probability somehow leave a loophole at this point, and it is by the process of self-reproduction that they are pierced."

To make the condom metaphor relevant to this discussion we'd have to make a few tweaks to the mechanics of condoms and human physiology:

* Humans would have to require at least some fluids to pass through during sex to survive, so condoms would have to be porous enough to allow these fluids through while trapping sperm

* Condoms capable of this feat would have to be relatively scarce, so the general population would instead use improvised genital coverings

* Women would have to be able to become pregnant by merely touching some dried out sperm on a door handle and then rubbing their genitals some time later

* Men would have to be of the habit of ejaculating on various public surfaces throughout the day

* Women would have to be of the habit of rubbing their genitals throughout the day

* A large segment of the population would have to refuse to wear their genital coverings while ejaculating on public surfaces or rubbing their genitals

* Even those that complied with state genital covering regulations were prone to adjusting them throughout the day and accidentally rubbing their genitalia.

So yes, with those minor tweaks, I'll concede your point.
> You could easily argue

Sure. But it still just hurts your main argument.
Not even close. Mainframes can hot swap stuff while running jobs.
From the article:

> everyone seemed to think I was smarter than I believed I was. I feared I might fail miserably and finally prove how wrong they were about me

I can totally relate to that. Once everybody told you you're a genius, the pressure not to fail is incredible.

I started programming at 8. I got next to no help from my parents or my teachers, until the time I entered college, and by that point I felt I knew as much as the professors, sometimes more. I always avoided talking about programming, since that would get a me more genius calls on top of what my grades got me. And it doesn't help with making friends. Over the years I had maybe one or two friends who knew about it. Few would've believe me if I had told them what I could do.

I feel like there's nothing special about the path I took. I feel like anyone would be able to achieve the same knowledge I did given enough work and support. I must have spent thousands of hours programming in my teens. What nobody seem to realize is that the genius label is wrong, what they really should have told me was that I was "passionate". Anyone who is passionate enough can become a master.
Thank you for digging that up! When I searched, I got a bunch of ads and junk from well before that study was run.

Do you have any data on which tests are widely used? (As in by number of tests done?)

I’m hoping it’s shifted the way you’re saying, but as of November there were more BS ones than legit ones, and it was hard to find a real validated test. None of the folks I knew getting antibody tests were able to find any of the validated ones.

That validated tests are good is great if they are being used, or used widely. Because in November the ones being used widely were still junk, which was my point.

If you have, per your study, 3 tests that are validated - are they used in the field for these studies? If so, objection withdrawn for current studies using them.

If they are studies based on the older, unvalidated, and often junk tests - then that point still stands.
They're all rammed with tricks to get you to consume, too.
Given the level of technological proficiency of people interested in this project, why Patreon tough? A platform that carries all the fees back to the person you're trying to support and puts their own cut on top for basically hosting a few iframes? Is this really the best way to provide some monthly income? I
If interest rates go up 6-7-8%, inflation would give most people an almost free house. Rent it out instead of selling and you have income for life.
I am not sure that this form of storage is comparable to a traditional dam. The fact that blocks of matter need to be physically moved by a crane severely limits the total capacity of the system. The most dense metals are only about 20x as dense as water, so we are not talking about a huge volume of water. The equivalent mass of water can be stored in a tank - no dam required and moved through a pipe - no river required.
When I decide to buy a $25k car because that's as much as I'm willing to spend I still need to determine what my "monthly" is. It matters what my monthly is because it is _a loan_ that I need to pay back every month. If I didn't need to think about what the monthly payment was I wouldn't need to take out a loan (unless I guess you got a magical loan that could only be paid off as a lump sum?).

You're implying "worrying about" or wanting to know what the monthly payment is on a loan is a bad thing and I don't understand why.
It would make sense that coffee would be similar. ”Keeping up decaf” is eerily similar to the results of this study:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00213-010-1810-2

The major finding here is that abstinent smokers preferred smoking denicotinized cigarettes over pushing a button to receive nicotine intravenously; i.e. ”keeping up denic”.
My previous ThinkPad X1 is a superior device to my 15 inch i9 MBP (2018) in every way - thermals, keyboard, touchscreen, issues with 5k display for over a year, Bluetooth issues.

I needed a Mac for iOS development so I went all out since I do all sort of development - and this is by far the worst premium device I owned.

With that said M1 Macs look really good and I'll probably upgrade if they refresh the 16 inch.
Is their silicon design open? Their internal boot ROM? Their microcode? :-)

What I'm trying to say there is, there is always a line. There is always some secret sauce. Even if you have fully open HDL, you won't have documentation for the proprietary fab processes required to implement it in a way that performs. Even if the fab process were somehow fully open, you may not have public documentation on how to manufacture some of the required chemicals and raw materials available. And so on and so forth. The rabbit hole always goes deeper, and the lines between parts aren't entirely bright, and so making some kind of blanket statement that one is "fully open" is usually a marketing tactic and not actually truthful.

That said, yes, Raptor stuff is pretty much as open as it gets, today, in the high-end space. They are pretty much the only modern platform which doesn't use blobs to train RAM on boot, for example. They are not perfect - for example, their motherboard schematics are only available to owners, so I assume they are not redistributable under an open hardware license.
No. But we can ask the FDA to justify its reasoning by sharing their modeling of the expected value of QALY for different courses of actions. It's ridiculous for them to spit out a proclamation like this without providing a framework for the decision other than "has not been tested".
A couple reason why I built this. All of the current public domain poetry sites are full of ads, unusable on mobile, or both. I also have found myself on lunch breaks wanting to read something that isn't so serious (I usually read the news), so I thought it would be nice to get something sent to me basically right away with a tweet.

If you have any suggestions or critiques just let me know!
Sure, but can anybody tell me how can I inform you guys about the update? Shall I post the app again or anything else? Pretty new here.

"They keep talking about John Carter as a failure. I saw it. It wasn't great. And the reason wasn't bad acting or bad special effects, it was that it had a mediocre script. So yeah, try hiring some better writers next time. They apparently cost less than special effects anyway. "

I saw it too, and thought it was decent. It failed because of the title. Even the most hardcore sci-fi fans don't know what John Carter is.

If the title had "Mars" in it it probably would have at least broken even.
Angelos was never a NETSEC employee; his work on the OpenBSD IPSEC code was at one point funded by NETSEC, but if you're familiar with how OS kernel "volunteer" development works, that's not a weird situation at all --- there were, if I remember my semi-sober conversations with him at the Ship & Anchor correctly --- plenty of times Theo found himself in similar relationships.

It's unlikely that NETSEC would have had any management influence over Angelos during that work.
I downloaded it immediately. Making it free to try and selling the dictionaries is a great sales model. The demo mode does a mirror-image reversal of the word to show you that it can detect words.

I was using a 4th gen iPod Touch, so lower-res camera and no flash.

Unfortunately, I was not able to get it to work as well as I'd hoped. I tested physical copies of a few things:

1. Mac OS X Snow Leopard cd case. Black sans-serif text on white background. This worked the best, with the word-reversal consistently getting "Snow" and "Leopard" reversed with little flicker. "Mac" seemed to go in and out. OS was rarely replaced, and usually along with "Mac" as though it were part of the same word.

2. C++ Programming language book cover (http://pixhost.info/pictures/631454). Dark blue serif text on white. This almost never worked. When it did recognize letters, the recognition shifted so much that the word was a constantly moving jumble.

3. Throat Coat tea bag. White serif text on Red. At any point in time, about 50% of the words were recognized and reversed.

You can take a snapshot, and each word it recognizes is highlighted, which is pretty cool.

I would definitely buy something like this that handled non-romance languages to English.
Do you serve up themes that aren't based on Wordpress? Otherwise, it makes more sense to just mention Wordpress in one place instead of tagging everything with it.

Andy Baio was recently on Dan Benjamin's show The Pipeline and he spoke a bit about upcoming.org's acquisition. I believe he described the support he got as underwhelming. Basically you go in, meet with a bunch of groups and then are left by yourself wondering what you're supposed to do.

Agreed.

Your link there is to a link shortener, I think you mean TCC. :)

It really depends on what you're actually asking for. Do you want, for example, a "slimmer" Rust compiler that jettisons all the stuff that supports older language editions? Do you want a "simpler" compiler that only uses straightforward algorithms at the expense of compiler speed? Or do you want a faster compiler that does less optimization at the expense of code generation quality? The latter, at least, is something that the Cranelift backend for rustc hopes to achieve.
Is there something I am overlooking here? Randomness is used for many other things than cryptographic usages.

Eg. for randomised algorithms you need a fast source of randomness.
