Trai's decision on net neutrality: Marc Andreessen snubs India
Looks like a very intuitive way of connecting paths together in a more powerful way than just having lines. I like the way you can draw part of a segment and then go back and add more line segments afterwards: the line cap for three meeting points is a lot more impressive than it looks.

The ability to fill sections and then punch out holes makes it really easy to see what's happening as well.

The post has a number of animated gifs which show how these work: it's worth reading to see them.

The only thing that sucks is the name. Essentially it's a tool that has more impressive path editing functionality than I have seen in other vector editors. The name of this post doesn't do it justice.
Just noticed that in french lead is "plomb" and plumber is "plombier"
> It's hard to imagine why the U.S. ever had a single lead water pipe, let alone huge numbers of them.

Lead has some advantages. Its melting point is low, so it's easy to weld. It doesn't corrode quickly, so pipes last a long time. And it's malleable, so pipes don't break when soil and foundation shift. But yes, it's very poisonous, so the advantages are moot for drinking water.

For corrosive waste plumbing, on the other hand, it can be a good choice. It even tolerates HF, which glass doesn't. Glass is sexier, however.

It doesn't require a VM pause to cause a system freeze, an SMI interrupt can do that as well.

It doesn't take a lot to have backwards time travel, NTP can do that for you as well in some bad configurations.

It's very hard to rely on time in a distributed system. If you want a simple algorithm just don't rely on time at all, use it for logs so a human can correlate things when debugging an issue but don't assume time will flow at the same rate for all systems. Do use a monotonic clock always for internal timers, time does move backwards in systems.

When Marc Andreessen offended Indians with just one tweet
Yahoo had brilliant mobile talent 2004-2008 - smart engineering and product talent that I remember meeting and they knew what was going on. But Yahoo management from 2007-2011 was terrible - ad execs overpaid with little clue about the tech world or what was happening outside their high castle. The second problem from which Yahoo never recovered was going HTML5. FB went HTML5 and the mobile product was a disaster. But FB quickly recognised that and went native - Yahoo took too long to fix issues like that. And the article is of course spot on about Tumblr - when they needed messaging they bought a blog platform.
So... I must be the most honest man in the world.
There are two completely-unrelated assertions in that paragraph. I believe one of them -- that dietary Ca and Mg are important -- but not the part about water being an important source of either. The numbers simply make no sense.
The management problem is why ad block plus started their acceptable ads initiative. Websites register with ad block as having acceptable ads only, and ad block puts the sites on your whitelist automatically.... And of course, periodically verifies the website is still following the rules. There's a registration fee for organizations that get more than 10 million ad impressions per month on browsers with adblock installed. The ad industry calls it extortion.
Although that response (by Zhou Enlai) was, of course, based on misunderstanding. Zhou thought the question was about the 1968 riots and consequential societal change, not the 1789 revolution.
Others have pointed out that it is serverless from the service-owner's point of view. I think that is a important point.

But there's another interesting thing that is relevant here. Because it is stateless, it it really is "serverless" in the sense of there being a single server associated with your code.

That's because they all use greedy O(ND) algorithms or equivalent.

But conceptually, no matter what the algorithm, the greediness is usually a requirement to maintaining the theoretical time bound of LCS based algorithms.

Patience trades the time bound for "better" results (patience is worst case O(ND^2).

Histogram is a neatly engineered and extended version of patience with an O(ND) timebound (and in fact, is faster than both myers and patience while providing good patience-like output).

How could they be anything other than unique? A fingerprint is a 'function' of a unique individual. You might as well claim that human faces aren't unique.

Bear in mind, of course: the degree of uniqueness between two samples is determined by the metrics used to distinguish between them. I don't know the state-of-the-art with fingerprint analysis, but with a purely physical measure, how can fingerprints not be unique?

I understand where you're coming from, but the thing is asking :

- What is DB indexing

- Can you think of any impact when indexing in this situation

- What are you general thoughts about indexing, can you think of an example when you used it and how it helped.

Will indeed give you insight into how he approaches problems and his maturity. But the difference with this and : tell me how indexing works behind the scenes, is that you focus on what really matters.

With that there is no right or wrong answers, there's just insightful answers.

I do not disagree on the fact that fundamental knowledge is important, but I disagree on the way you assess it. I disagree on the notion that there is an equivalence between fundamental knowledge and formal knowledge. One can be comfortable adding things up without knowing that it is called an addition.

If he does : great, if he doesn't it doesn't matter as long as he has the insight.

More generally the majority of our knowledge is not formal.

Very interesting. What are the ramifications for improving the understanding of biomechanics? Does this allow for better investigation into the effects of deformations such as compression, or muscles that are bent over pivot points? Are cross-sectional areas easily available, and can these be used to determine if muscle power is affected in certain situations eg the deformations mentioned?
I personally find the syntax of the language and quality of the current implementation (speed!) excellent. However, it doesn't experience the marketing languages like Rust or Golang receive.

What I personally also find worrisome is the perception (at least for me) that Julia is confined to scientific computing whereas I find it should really be a general purpose language.
Such an outrageous comment.kind of shows the mindset behind supporting such walled gardens in india compared to western countries because they think that we Indians are inferior and shud be content with what they give
What they need is Lambda + CodePipeline (or something like that). The ability model your whole application (Lambdas + tables + containers etc.) and have Alpha/Beta/Gamma/Prod with tests in between :)
Many times it is to get the performance improvements you think you should need, but actually never will.

Having been coding since the days of Assembly being a normal language for business applications, I never seen a programming community so obsessed with micro-optimizations per code line, (without using profilers, because programmer knows best), like the C one.

And by correlation the C sub-communities from C++ and Objective-C ones.

Other communities think first into getting their data-structures and algorithms right, use the profiler and then optimize.
Technically, someone can bleed without dying, but more seriously, this type of case isn't all that unusual, and it is so blatantly and obviously wrong, I don't think a logical argument can fix it. Sadly, some people only learn through force.

It takes time to recover from burnout - sometimes months. The best thing for you to do is just let that take its course, and not try to push yourself back to 100%. That will only bake in the burnout, and it'll take longer for your to recover.

So go on holidays, meet with friends, read fiction, find some new hobbies. Whatever gives you pleasure, and isn't work, or an attempt to push yourself.

And with time, you will find yourself returning to how you were.

It's good to see the SQL Phrasebook Pattern still in use. They were quite popular before ORMs caught on. I'm currently writing one in Rebol so they must have come back into fashion :)

There is an another (slightly older) Clojure library - https://github.com/ray1729/sql-phrasebook

This was based on the venerable Perl CPAN module - https://metacpan.org/pod/Data::Phrasebook::SQL

Also an interesting read - http://www.perl.com/pub/2002/10/22/phrasebook.html | http://ootips.org/yonat/patterns/phrasebook.html
I have seen the C sub-community of C++ obsessed with things like what makes the compiler generate more optimized code, i++ or i = i + 1.

This goes for every code line that one writes, most of the time backed up by urban legends and popular beliefs instead of profiling the code.

Whereas other programming languages cultures, tend have a more meaningful approach to optimizing software.

besides poor choice of words, it's also about how ill-informed he is about this entire debate. It's obvious, he has only read what Facebook has fed him with. I am a huge fan of his work and views and hence wouldn't assign motive to this, but yes, sure he did piss people off, including his fan base.
On the Russian front this was only true at the beginning of Operation Barbarossa, then it became very clear a year later than the German losses became increasingly in Soviets' favor. Plus Soviets were fighting on their home ground, with direct access to resources, which would eventually turn the advantage on their side. Of course hindsight is everything, but several generals opposed Hitler's decision to go against the Soviets because they knew the odds were against them. So assuming that Germans expected to win is, I think, improbable.

And to come back on the original point, you do War to kill enough people to make your opponent give up or until it is completely destroyed. In the case of WWII, even if Russia kept losing soldiers 10:1 vs German soldiers, Germany would have still run out of soldiers to fight with anyway because of Russia's massive supply of men behind the frontlines - And even if Russia did give up at some point, there would have been no way Germany would be able to control a country as large as the Soviet Union with the army they had on site. Germans were clearly bound to lose no matter what.

My biggest issue is that (unless I'm missing something obvious), there's no way to add any configuration to the lambda. If I want different queues to do (slightly) different things, then I either need different code upload for each of them, or the parameter to be sent on the queue.

I could not find any place where I can tell it - this is the code, this lambda uses it with N=5, that lambda uses it with N=42.

> It's nice to know there's not a server anywhere.

To be clear AWS is running thousands of servers that make up Lambda, DynamoDB, S3 and friends. It's still fair to call Lambda "serverless" because you don't have to deal with any servers... but saying there are no servers anywhere is false.

Too general, this highly depends on what type/brand/price range of bicycle you buy. My first 'grown up' cycle is now 23 years old and I can get any parts I need to service it in the local bike shop.

Thinking of it, it seems that proven parts just keep existing while the crap gets sorted out during the years. In some subgenres this goes faster and the process is still heavily ongoing I have the impression - take bmx for instance: what you can get now for a similar amount of money is lighter but as strong or stronger and longer lasting.

> Ultimately I think it would serve as a marker of our collective lack of imagination over the past 50 years to explore, perhaps because the costs weren't palatable relative to any resources we could hope to exploit.

Honestly it's not a lack of imagination - Plans to explore Mars and even other planets existed back in the 60s and 70s. Space Exploration was very much a byproduct of the Cold War - developing rockets mean you developed the ability to produce ICBMs as well to strike with nuclear heads anywhere, anytime, and Space programs were simply the tip of the otherwise military Iceberg.

They also served as PR material to give a positive image of rockets development, while actually most rockets are made to nuke the Earth multiple times.

Now, the tensions we had during the Cold War are lower, and the need to develop new rocket tech has decreased, and you get a Space Program on diet.

Yeah, but once is enough. Why do you have to repeat it over and over again ? What is the value in sending Moon Landers on a regular basis ?

I was not saying anything against having astronauts in Space. I was mentioning the point (or the lack of) of repeating over and over moon landings. You can still have astronauts in space without having to send them to the Moon. It's cheaper to keep them in the ISS, and you can indeed generate interest this way as well.
Beating the optimizer
But of course, how much Russia encourages operators on this route will have a great impact on the number of migrants on this route. Russian border guards belong to the security service, FSB, who in turn is direct control of Putin. No business of this type will thrive in Russia without the blessing of the president and his trusted business partners.

But Russia has here a great chance of miscalculating and increasing pressure, making Finland close the border and even move towards NATO membership.

I think a better comparison would be to Windows Movie Maker or iMovie. It is ridiculously easy to use, but I don't think it has the work flow of professional editing software.

I used it a few times to make simple compilation videos - every year I teach a summer camp for kids, and I collect videos throughout the week, put them together and add a song which the kids choose. All I need are just a few transitions, and ability to add titles. With Openshot it was simple.

Proliferation of dashboards
Depends on where you work.

Where I am we have stunning giant metal photo prints covering most walls (and floors and ceilings), mostly-private offices (metal mesh walls with doors that close, and often with giant photos covering the mesh to make it more private).

Everyone who sees it seems to think it looks a helluva lot cooler than a generic open floor plan.

Every employee also gets a modest decorating budget for their offices, so the insides of them look pretty cool too. More importantly, it sends a signal that we respect people's need for quiet and private personal space to get work done. We have shared spaces as well for those who want to be more social, but we don't force it.

Seems to be working well for us.
