This incidence underscores the importance of the Internet (neutral) and social media that is not a walled garden totally. Reddit, Telegram, Signal (HN to a lesser extent, due to its less popularity amongst general public) are good mechanisms to spread news which the mainstream media chooses to suppress due to reasons like corruption, pressure, political correctness.

In US also the mainstream media mainly sold out to Saudi money, tends to suppress news critical of Islam and the pseudo-liberal practice of intimidating any critique of the oppressive ideology of Islam in the name of racism, islamophobia and what-not.

If not for the Internet and social media, the ex-Muslims' voice would not been suppressed by the corrupt mainstream media. [1] [2]

It's interesting that your clang and my clang give different results, even though we're using the same version. I suspect it's a result of differing CPU architectures. (i.e. my CPU is a different model to yours perhaps).

I originally did put loop alignment in my asm version, but I took it out because it was actually ever so slightly slower on mine. Make of that what you will.
Imagining is the easy part if you ask me. What would you do, if you could program your own mind? My first app would probably be some more manual control over the body. Sure would be nice to have a 75 bpm in a stressful situation.

A potential solution for facebook (if they were inclined) might be to not charge for likes from accounts less than N days old or from accounts with > M total page likes. At least this would make it harder for click farms to get around... or, ya know, try and model click-farm accounts which seems pretty tractable.
I read a bit of that site based on your link. It almost makes me feel like I was working at a different company.

I had a great manager. I had a wonderful time working there. My biggest problem was that I was too fast; I'd get things done too quickly and run out of things to do. This happened even when I would ask for more work.

Otherwise the people were great, the pay was amazing, and I did most of my work from home, coming into Seattle for a few days every month to connect with the team in person.
Following some of the discussion on this thread, I am constantly reminded of a priceless advice I got from a senior friend years ago.

When thinking about an employer, above a certain size threshold, never judge a company. Always judge a department. You don't work for a company. You work for a department. Above a certain (fairly small) size, the only thing you'll share with the employees in the other departments will be the domain name in your email. Everything else will be coincidental.

"optimizing a specific function is ignorant"

Depends entirely on the domain. Sorry, but i have never seen a programmer come up with the kinds of parallelizing transforms, cache blocking and iteration reordering, etc, that most polyhedral optimizers do.

Now, if you aren't doing these kinds of things, and are just trying to optimize the hot loop of some simple program, yeah, you can definitely win given enough time, because you'll just sit there with IACA or whatever, and superoptimize it by hand.

But you also are often starting with the output of a good compiler. If you had to start with nothing, i doubt you would do as well.

Here:
http://repo.or.cz/pluto.git/blob/HEAD:/examples/jacobi-2d-im...

Please, without looking at the output of pluto, create a multi-threaded, fully cache-optimized version of this code, optimized for 4 cores, by hand.

pluto can generate C code to do it in 0.2 seconds.

The result is here:
http://repo.or.cz/pluto.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/test/jacobi-2d-...

Please also take the following gauss seidel code, and generate both a cache optimized sequential version, and a parallel cache optimized version:
http://repo.or.cz/pluto.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/examples/seidel...

Most people would probably not be able to accomplish either, better than icc + pluto, pretty much ever, let alone in some reasonable time period.
Yes. I have worked in similar places and it is maddening. "Sorry, you can't use that highly idiomatic construct because an inexperienced person might not understand it straight away. Ignore the fact that someone experienced is going to wonder why the hell it is done the naive way"
Acronyms have their place though - you can convey your thoughts tersely and usually reduce ambiguity, which is important in technical writing. You are probably doing a disservice to your reader by expanding acronyms (after first use) in most lengthy technical communication. Imagine a 1 pager full of sentences like the one you used in the example, but with no acronyms allowed. I think it would be harder to read.

It also depends on the perceived audience I guess.
Yeah, this is super important. I thought about it and I too tend to think very hard about generics here.

As with all such things, it's harder to enumerate what's in your head :)

> AVR processors are notorious power hogs

> MSP430 microcontrollers ... consume less than 1 microamp in idle mode.

As someone who's done extremely low-power development on both platforms, this is an extremely disingenuous comparison. Of course MSP430s consume very little current in idle mode. So do AVRs. People just don't usually run them at low frequencies or in idle mode, because Arduino is targeted at novice users, not people who know how to do low-level power management.

I've been running an ATTiny off the same pair of AA batteries, blinking an LED for 50ms every 5 seconds for 4 years. Just turn all peripherals off, maximum clock prescaler division, sleep mode with wake on watchdog interrupt. There's functionally no way to get better performance out of an MSP430 in real-world applications.

While I prefer the MSP430 instruction set, beyond that there's no obvious all-around advantage over the AVR family.
The failure mode doesn't matter much in practice. You need to track how many inserts you've done on both for practical reasons so with either you'll have a set cutoff before rebuild. Cuckoo filters are more likely to be used in place of counting bloom filters than vanilla ones.

You could always avoid duplicate inserts in cuckoo by checking contains before calling insert again. A modified insert-only-once routine would only have a small performance penalty. You can't use counting or deletion while doing this though, so its a trade-off. This same trade-off happens with counting bloom filters but they are much less space efficient.

Practically the use case for cuckoo filters over bloom probably lies in bi directional communication. Partner nodes can keep each other's state updated without needing to exchange a ton of data. Think distributed caches. So two data nodes exchange cuckoo filters of each other's data initially. As things fall out of their caches they can tell each other to delete those items from each other's filters by sending only the bucket index and fingerprint. Probably much smaller than the piece of data that represented originally. Since each data node independently knows what was in their cache there's no risk of false deletions. You can't really use bloom filters for this because you can't delete
> A potential solution for Facebook

Sorry, but Facebook is not looking for a solution. I should've made it clearer in my response, that the like and click farms are managed by Facebook themselves.

They (the Ads Team) moved the click-farms and fake likes in-house after discovering other shady companies that were doing this. Then I think they realized how lucrative it was to their share price and quarterly revenues bottom-line so they went with it.
Why Enterprise Funds May Return More Capital Than Consumer Funds
It's great how this no content article has been turned into a huge Amazon bashing thread that confirms everybody's biases against Amazon employment practices.

The facts are: a guy put in for a transfer, got put on a performance improvement plan, threatened self-harm, and then jumped off a building.

There are no details why he requested a transfer, the reasons he got put on a PIP, and if he was mentally unstable or not, where these fairly common life events would cause him to contemplate self harm.

Nope, the pitchforks and the torches come out.

I had a co-worker survive the PIP he was put on. He was very thorough coder, but not particularly fast (when he delivered code it always worked really well, comforting for radar software), so when he was put on a new project that didn't value that over scheduling he had to adjust. Between that and a change of language he ended up on a pip. He lasted 5 years after that and one round of layoffs, before being let go in a second round. He's somewhere else now.

Good social media is a sign of a good organization. Why? Because it shows it gives employees the autonomy they need to do a good job. Poor organizations on the other hand sound canned and corporate because they have to follow some type of guidelines and get things approved before publication.

I know not every part of every company is the same since your direct manager plays a big part in your experience but I have to wonder why people put up with the bad experiences. Maybe the pay for AWS consulting gigs is worth a couple years in that kind of environment.

There's not a lot of overlap right now between "pro" and "Apple, Inc." Right now I'd reckon Apple sees the puck heading for the laziest leisure class the world has ever known.
What really angered me about that article was Amazon trying to say that this was a "colleague" -- he was on a PIP. Which is pretty much Amazon speak for a dead man walking (no pun intended).

That's a business model problem. Your $10 app is being used to drive a dedicated $3000 display. So what do you do? Sell integrated display and app systems? It works for Bloomberg. You don't have to use Bloomberg's hardware any more, but you don't save much by not doing so.
I think that there's more and more of an argument against one-time purchases for apps that want continued development.

The Panic status board is near to my heart. Back in 2010, their launch blog post was something that inspired me to try and build products for people instead of freelancing for a living.

It's really interesting/sad to read their second reason for shutting down:

> pro users are more likely to want a larger number of integrations with new services and data sources, something that’s hard to provide with limited revenue, which left the app “close but not quite” for many users

Because this is exactly what Zapier, the company I co-founded a year later, provides for free to other companies/products. Integrate once with us and automatically get integrations with hundreds of other apps (750+ and growing).

I love and use several Panic products (Transmit, Prompt, Firewatch) and hope this end-of-life enables them to spend more time on new ideas.

I'm not involved in Brave and I'm certainly not the arbiter of what constitutes success for their company or their browser. My remarks above were made in the context of my original remarks, which discussed the amount of work required to succeed in conventional terms.

If you make a web browser, you need to get tens of millions or hundreds of millions of users to make a dent in the market. My original remark said that it didn't matter if Brave did anything cool if it never gained traction. I think those remarks are on point for the discussion: does it matter of Brave does amazing things if their browser ends up in the dustbin of history? Awesomeness in Brave won't matter if it doesn't get market share because it without market share it won't present a competitive threat to any of the established browsers.

My reply above was just pointing out that commonly available statistics show that Brave has no real market share, but instead of presenting vacuous arguments, I provided some hard data.

I personally think it would be wonderful if Brave was a huge success. I don't believe that any single company ( Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook ) should have so much dominance over search, mobile, browser, social etc. It's not good for consumers and the almost unchallenged dominance of a small group of companies is turning into an utter disaster for the Internet.

This reminds me of an experiment my physics teacher did in gr.12. The way he explained it was that water would boil when there was a temperature delta, so he boiled some water in a test tube, to eliminate most of the air in the tube, and then plugged it and removed it from the heat. Let it cool down and then put it on ice. It looked like full rolling boil. I've never tried it again since.

Are you arguing that there's no way Trump could have lost and there was incontrovertible evidence of that prior to election day or that Clinton did not win the popular vote by a wide margin? That's the extent of what I've contended here.

I don't care to discuss abstract hypotheticals, or whether this means Trump is wonderful or not.

Unless you're disputing in a roundabout way what I've presented there's no reason to be engaging in whatever you're doing.
Would that mean there was no way Trump could have lost? No.

It is unclear how using counties as a metric is useful. It would be quite significant if Clinton won the equivalent of the population of LA county over Trump.

On the other hand, working in a union warehouse (UPS), this has in fact happened - people getting picked up so they can make it in despite weather, since it's the lower management that would get shafted otherwise.

I don't know whether this works in newer versions of Windows, but it was extremely simple to elevate your priveleges on almost any Windows 7 machine. I've done this dozens of times.

I haven't used Windows for years now, so the details are a bit fuzzy, but it essentially worked like this:

Start the machine. During boot(when you see the orb splashscreen), turn off power or hold down the power button for a few seconds.

The next time you boot up the machine, windows will say it failed to boot and offer to go into startup repair. Do that, wait for some time, and click through until eventually you see a bug report that you can open up in notepad.

Once you are in notepad, open up the "open file" dialog. From there, navigate to "C:\Windows\System32" and replace "sethc.exe" with "cmd.exe". Now, reboot normally.

Once you reach the login screen, spam left shift until you get a command prompt with admin privileges. Now, you can create new users, change the password and privileges of existing users, or even start up explorer.exe and use the computer normally as admin, bypassing the login screen entirely.

This works because "sethc.exe" is the executable responsible for Sticky Keys, which is activated by pressing shift repeatedly. Instead of sethc.exe, now cmd.exe would be run instead.
Key doesn't go in the ignition, kind of hard to charge a battery if it's floating in a purse or pocket.
