Well, are you me?

Everything you said rings true with me. From the effort/result ratio to waiting for the "feeling" to get things done all the way to the age.

I've been thinking about ways to fix this, though, I'm more looking into figuring out why I behave this way rather than how I can work around it.

Seems to me like, this type of behavior stems from the childhood (up until college) where being a relatively smart person allows one to keep afloat (and even shine sometimes) without spending much effort.

Then you hit college and you face the fact that you have to put the effort in, you can't just get by anymore. You sorta learn to struggle through a bit of "learning how to study" but still not at the level where you feel like you owned your studies, more like enough to get back to that 8/10 result on average. Put simply, you are now doing 5/10 effort for 8/10 results while it used to be 1-2/10 effort for the same result.

Then you move on to the real world (tm) where the effort is sometimes just as important as the result. Even if that's not the case for you, you just realize 8/10 results are sometimes not enough (for your employer, for personal satisfaction, for whatever reason).

This, combined with the fact that your pride now firmly lies in your level of intelligence, makes self-improvement really hard. How? First, you don't wanna do the easy stuff, because, well it's not worth your intelligence; so you dream of doing the hard stuff. Reading complicated books, learning a new language what have you. Then, you start unconsciously delaying doing/learning the hard stuff. You only do those if it's part of your job so you have to. You delay it, I think, because the fact that you may not accomplish those deeds in the short amount of time you think you should, proving yourself that you're not as smart as you think you are. That, is like the ghost at the end of the dark hallway. You don't even wanna risk getting into that state of mind. "I just don't have the time" or "I really haven't spent much effort on this" is a much better excuse for you than "I'm just not smart enough. Need to work harder/longer on this".

Don't know if that's the case for you, but it feels like it is for me. I'm trying to let myself go to fix this basically. It's okay to not be brilliant. It's okay to fail, make mistakes, suck at certain things while being just okay at other things. There is no implicit need to be excellent at everything you do. More importantly, "too proud to be dumb" is a bad mindset to be in. Even if you are as smart as you think you are, you are not fully utilizing your capacity by restricting yourself due to a fear of slightest failure/mistake.

That said, the ideas that you are trying sound interesting. Maybe they could also help taming this subconscious beast by my conscious idealist.
Indeed, it's common to see DDoS protection offerings defined both in throughput (e.g. 50 Gb/s) and packets per second (e.g. 30 Mpps), which results in a bottleneck in packet size (e.g. ~200 bytes) at high throughput.

No, the visualization is adjusted such that it always shows at least one female->female connection, and one male->male connection.

So it might very well be the case that there are a lot more heterosexual female welders than homosexual female welders, it's just that there are so many male welders that their connections dominate the top five.

Close to what happened! The magazine graphic (https://twitter.com/adamrpearce/status/697844614754123776) was finished before I started on the web version, and I just had a couple of days to make something that could go online. I initially tried a more sort of 538/scatterplot/analysis approach, but wasn't making a ton of progress. I started just sketching out different ways of putting all 500 jobs on the screen at once. The grid of jobs with lines showing up on mouseover was the most fun to play with and being pushed to finish before valentines day, I went with it.

Sorry it was hard to use!
There's another big difference as well - Passersby have distinct, human-fallible memory, while fixed cameras can have the information they record stored and combined.

There's a gigantic difference between having a bunch of people see you in various places as you go about your day, and a searchable database of every place your face has been seen in public over the last two years.

The crazier thing is that releasing the source code like this, at least to me, is quite unusual.

I've read a number of academic papers where I had to email the authors and ask nicely for the source code; much of the time not getting a response.

The fascinating thing about chemistry's impact was that it was production that drove discovery.

It was companies, not governments who asked the big questions. Conglomerates such as Bayer and BASF drove the development of ammonia, dyes, antibiotics and chemotherapy.

The only real exception was particle physics, which was entirely academic/governmental.
Ask HN: How do venture-backed startups handle their money?
Curious to know from personal anecdotes/stats how VC-backed, early-stage start-ups think about their money (ranging from $ received from investments, revenue, expenses).

In particular, I imagine that the way seed-funded companies handle money is different than how a Series A company thinks about and handles their money. I also imagine there to be differences depending on the nature of the company, e.g., whether or not the company is making revenue, is hardware vs. software, etc.

Are there patterns about how start-ups think about their money, especially across stages and types of company?
So if you look at the waveform of the signal, there are in fact smaller ripples after the main event. However, how long these ripples take to settle afterwards to equilibrium is related to how quickly the waves propagate. In the case of ripples on a pond, those travel at about 1 m/s; these gravitational waves travel at the speed of light, roughly 300,000,000 m/s, so we should expect it to settle to equilibrium about 300,000,000 times faster. If it takes 60 seconds on a pond, we would expect the gravitational waves to settle in about 0.0000002 s, or 200 nanoseconds.

Note that this is a _very_ rough estimate, but it should give you an idea of the order of magnitude for the settling time.

They say in the fine print:

Same-sex occupation/relationship matchups weren’t common enough to reach the top five in any occupation.
So the chart also highlights the top male-male and female-female job matchups for each occupation.

In other words, female -> female pairings are overemphasized in the chart, otherwise you would not see them at all.l

My point is that listing personal income tax as something that startups have to worry about is a disingenuous argument at best. If you're going to try to play the 'all taxes affect everyone' argument then we must also consider the lower net-burden on employees within that startup from the single payer system (among many other externalities or incidences).
I guess I'll read the markdown a little bit later because I can't read those pages, but I recall a talk like this given at some game developers confence (something Sony I think) a while back.

But since most of us don't worry about cache misses, I'd like to see some more information about this for a more general programming audience.

I think the clojure folks subscribe to something along these lines, but mostly because they eschew OO.
This is overhead for every update of every library. In theory it's a great idea and expensive idea, so of course nobody does it.

There are two mindsets in coding, this code needs to work right now and this code needs to work in 20 years. Linking code is very likely to break in the second time frame. Public API's are generally unstable, services goes away, and people break things. But, if all you need is a toy demo then feel free.

I don't think that abstraction is particularly useful because beyond extremely simple systems, approaching things from physics becomes 1.) not possible because we don't actually know enough and/or 2.) intractable because there are too many variables/actors at play.

You can get insight from physics, but physics doesn't actually help you much when it comes to actually making a molecule, or figuring out how to avoid reacting with one part of a molecule while selectively modifying another.

In other words chemistry is to physics as computer science is to math. They're related, you could say one is reducible to the other, but that's not a useful construct in practice.

Good point about Android and .NET.

Regarding the Closure Compiler, ClojureScript touts whole program optimization as an advantage; the ClojureScript compiler just has to play by the Google Closure rules when emitting JS to take advantage. I'm sure it is harder for users of any arbitrary off-the-shelf library to gain the benefits.

It's a wonderful data and a well-written paper. Really just remarkable.

They have a few minor events that seem less likely to lead to anything, but to capture a big one like this at the start of 16 days of collection is a gift.
The energy was all dumped into the gravitational waves we detected, not into electromagnetic radiation: Gravity waves don’t interact with matter very much (the cross section of the graviton is believed to be extremely small) so the quantity of energy transferred to matter as the wave passes through is likewise extremely small. I haven’t run the numbers, but I’m not sure you’d notice this even from a light year away without fairly sensitive detectors.

You're right; tree-shaking doesn't eliminate all instances of dependency bloat. Come to think of it, I've even seen a counter-example in C++. On Windows, a hello-world application using the wxWidgets GUI toolkit is ~2.4 MB, even statically linked. I think the problem, or at least part of it, is that the WindowProc implementation uses a big switch statement to handle all of the Win32 window messages that wx supports. So, for example, the handler for the WM_PRINTCLIENT message has to be included even if your application doesn't do any printing. Same for drag and drop. It would be better if the WindowProc implementation looked up message handlers in a table, and the application could ask wx to register the handlers for just the features that are actually used. I wouldn't be surprised if similar concerns apply to frameworks like Angular, even in Dart.
A conceptual issue that some of the commenters may have missed is that part of the detection is done by matched filtering (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matched_filter), in which it is necessary to have a good idea of the signal you're looking for. This detection has built upon analytical and numerical advances in relativity. While people may not know about the prevalence of e.g. binary black hole collisions, they have a pretty good idea of the signal that would result if such a collision were to occur. Similarly with other potential sources like binary neutron star collisions.
I'm not sure how that second point works wrt homo women, what do you mean by 'accounted for'?

also, not every single female in the surplus needs to be 'available', since it's a statistical implication. a surplus of hetero females correlates with a surplus of 'available' hetero females.
ASP.NET Monsters
The run time resource usage risks are only one element of deep dependency trees, and certainly the one I worry about least. The biggest risks are the fact that you've handed every person in your dependency tree developer status in your project. That includes not just potential maliciousness, though that is a factor, but potentially disappearing the project entirely, potentially taking it in an unexpected direction, potentially introducing bugs (oh that all projects merely monotonically got better), potentially introducing security vulnerabilities in deep parts of the stack you wouldn't even think to audit, diamond dependencies, difficult-to-replicate builds, etc. There are then tools that can strike back at some of these, but there's something to be said for avoiding the problem.

For that matter, there's no guarantee that tree-shaking would even have fixed the referenced issue; if the library preloaded 10MB of stuff, like a Unicode definition table, that you didn't use, but the tree shaker couldn't quite prove you never would, you'll still end up with it loaded at runtime. (For that matter, you may very well be using such code even though you don't mean to, if, for instance, you have code that attempts to load the table, and uses it if it loads for something trivial, but will just keep going without it if it is not present. The tree shaker will determine (correctly!) that you're using it.)

Basically, tree shaking only sort of kind of addresses one particular problem that deep dependencies can introduce, and that one not even necessarily reliably and well.

In this case it's not an inverse square law, the amplitude is simply inversely proportional to the distance.

https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/861#issuecomment-149...

There's also rollup.js (another module bundler) that supports tree-shaking: http://rollupjs.org/

Either way, it seems like the code needs to be using ES6 modules to make it all work.
Disruption hits early-stage venture capital
I emailed the Franklin Institute in 2014 requesting the date of the next demonstration. Here is the response I received:

"The Curatorial Department has received your request for information about the Maillardet Automaton (Cat.#1663). Though in the recent past, we have demonstrated the Automaton four times per year, the Curatorial Department (based on information gathered by our mechanicians/conservators) has decided that TFI will not run the machine until we can ensure its safety."

"The Automaton is located in our Amazing Machines exhibition. The Amazing Machines exhibition discusses the mechanics and beauty of movement in relation to artifacts; for example, near the Automaton case there are exhibits discussing gears and cams. Behind the Automaton, there is a short film of two of our mechanician/conservators running the Automaton. This, coupled with the fair amount of narrative text about the machine, provides a pretty good understanding of the artifact. Since we will not be producing any more drawings in the near future, we retain some originals in our archival collections and the rest are sold in the museum's bookstore as original artifacts."
I seriously don't understand how this is possible. I was the multimedia editor of a college newspaper in about 2008 and we needed a place to host podcasts. We were looking around for a solution that could serve as infrastructure for audio files, and soundcloud was the only game in town.

It still is, and now, eight years later, podcasts as a business are booming. How are they not making enough money selling their product as infrastructure? Their API is so unbelievably good that even a cash-strapped community college was prepared to pay for their service. Are they really not earning enough revenue to keep it going?

It also disparages his contribution to the scientific discussion to just state that he was "proven wrong".

Bohr's argument in the discussion was a bit of a mess and I couldn't pull anything out of his rebuttal to EPR other than an assertion that QM behaves the way it does and not to pay any attention to the man behind the curtain. Its a very philosophical argument with very little scientific content and he just proposes that the QM math is correct because its correct, as far as I can tell.

EPR made a logical cogent argument. It was based on the philosophical principle of the locality of physics. They translated that into the mathematics of Quantum Mechanics and proposed a simple experimental test. Later that was refined by Bell and tested experimentally by Aspect and others. It was the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paper that laid the groundwork of how to test the non-locality/hidden-variables of QM though.

EPR moved the scientific discussion forwards much more than Bohr did, but it turns out the test they proposed showed that the position they favored was incorrect.

Also Einstein was arguing first and foremost that physics must be _local_. That's in opposition to the "spooky action at a distance" bit that he didn't like. Since local hidden variables are ruled out then he really was proven "wrong".

TL;DR I think Bohr's argument is rubbish, and Einstein's is solid, but the Universe is a bitch and doesn't care...

Dark matter was "invented" because there wasn't enough observable mass in galactic-scale objects to account for their behavior. In other words, they acted like they had more mass than we could observe. Dark matter is basically characterized by not responding on the electromagnetic spectrum, which is what we use to do these observations. Since all the matter we know of generally does respond on this spectrum, that's why dark matter is considered to be "exotic".
