The 1800s called and would like their willpower moralizing argument back.

Less snidely, ignoring the context in which actions take place is not reasonable. We are immensely shaped by the environment that we are a part of.

The trickier question of how to balance such realizations with the concept of individual responsibility? It seems the jury is still out on that one. My guess is that the most productive efforts will be those that produce better outcomes from a systemic perspective, through more harmonious alignment of underlying incentives and a developing understanding of human nature.
I think you make some very good points. Focusing on a particular toolchain because it's popular rather than the benefits it provides in development and the result is misguided. When developers first start out there are a lot of choices to make, and they may not have the foundation or experience to make the decision they would likely make a few years down the road. Often you're happy when you get something working and repeatedly so.

In the JavaScript community there's been an explosion of tools, tool chains, libraries, module systems; without a lot of experience, it's very easy to be overwhelmed. Criteria for choice can include the availability of easy-to-understand tutorials as much as understanding the motivations and design decisions and limitations of the tools themselves. Some people are very good at writing blog posts describing what they've done, better than conveying the underlying concepts. I don't want to necessarily fault them for that, as I think there's often a sincere desire to show people a way that works for them.

Rather than focussing solely on what's wrong, it's very important to also include options you think are better, and why. Looking down your nose at others, describing them as js hipsters using politically correct tools does no one any good, and makes it even less likely people will listen to what you have to say. And on HN, expressing the expectation of down votes is a guaranteed method of receiving them; it's against the guidelines and adds nothing to your comment.

There are a lot of choices in the web development space today. The desire to standardize on something (such as the push for Babel and Webpack) is laudable in that they recognize that so much choice is not necessarily good: it makes it more difficult to decide what to use (sometimes good enough is just that), and splits resources that may otherwise be used to improve a more limited number of options. That's not to say Babel and Webpack are the best options: just that I understand the motivation for standardization and push to popularize a few (rather than all) options.

You can relatively easily get to manual memory management using Go's runtime, i.e. access those runtime·sysAlloc(), runtime·sysFree() functions directly, the way Go accesses syscalls in the external sys package [1]. It's like ten lines of code, nothing extraordinarily difficult.

Surviving Flashes of High-Write Traffic Using Scriptable Load Balancers (Pt II)
Certainly -- I can name a dozen, each of them demonstrated using scientific methods. Asbestos. Ionizing radiation. Sunlight. Tobacco. And so forth. Each of these can be shown to cause health issues in vitro as well as in vivo -- using properly designed, scientific animal studies.

Right, but then you're still assuming that whatever you've demonstrated on animals will hold on a human population. If that were always true, we would never bother doing studies on humans at all.

Science isn't based on hand-waving -- falsifiable empirical evidence is required. Any number of assumptions like this have fallen by the wayside over the decades, undermined by overlooked correlations that weren't included in the original analysis.

You have to make assumptions to reach a conclusion. "Humans are similar to animals" is one, and "There is no other cause that can reasonably explain this observational evidence" is another. I fully agree that observational data is often abused to reach sensational conclusions, but IMO when it is done correctly, it is a vital ingredient of modern science. Pearl's book on causality is basically devoted to this topic.

Ever since I got a smartphone, I haven't had that feeling of uncertainty and foreignness when traveling anymore.

Maybe it's also due to having enough money to afford a smartphone, and being of a certain age, but I think knowing exactly where you are means you don't check your environmental cues as much anymore.

I'm inclined to go back to those never-enough-detail free tourist maps to see if that feeling of lost returns.
"Should", definitely :) Easier said than done. But I'm happy to wait and see, it's not like this would make Go the only language with weird time handling. As it stands they're probably in a better place than most people are used to.

Not parent, but I've had well over two thousand tabs in Firefox + Tree Style Tabs before. They're usually accumulated over a number of sessions. If you don't open a tab, the page itself isn't actually loader yet, so very, very rarely are more than 100 or so actually loaded. Every now I'll go through and cull, but my browsing experience is never really inhibited by them.

For me it's 100% how I browse now, I don't think I could go back. I only open links in new tabs (which places them as branches in the tree) and it's a wonderfully useful spatial/temporal way of showing history, which is also saved between sessions (so bookmarks don't really replace them)

While the open-office debate has been a recurring meme on HN for some time, it seems that offering a variety of options as well as unfettered personal choice is key.

For example, my current employer has wide-open office space with pods of desks, but they also offer numerous privacy rooms for escape. As a mild to mid introvert myself, this allows for the best of both worlds the majority of the time: I can benefit from those casual, spontaneous conversations that pop up in the open space, but I can also grab my own room for an entire afternoon to crank out some heads-down work.

I think what's most important is for companies to acknowledge and respect the variety of working styles of their employees, along with the trust that--regardless of how chatting in a pod or hiding away from others might appear--more often than not they're getting shit done.

I understand that structuring may reveal a pattern for an illegal activity (money laundering, fraud, etc) and that law enforcement can used it as a hint to discover these activities.

But is structuring illegal by itself ? If so, it seems that presumption of innocence is ignored.

I think open office is great for certain roles and not so much for certain occupations. For writer in this article having a private room is better because it takes a lot of focus and comfort to write. But in all fairness, I agree open office can become a diaster. Where I work now we have an open office settings but we are small and we don't have a long table sharing with a dozen coworkers. I think density is important - our desnity is not so high. Furthermore where I actually sit I only gave two coworkers in the area ao for me I don't get that much of noise. The most distracting part is just people stopping by or passing by my desk because it is one of the paths to the pathroom and conference rooms. But some of my other coworkers are stationed in worser part literally sitting across the kitchen so.... everyone considered my area to br the golden seat. I think, again, density is important. The upside of open office is the sense of you know people can be reached out and people aren't hiding inside a room with the curtain down.
Impossible to read on an iPhone SE. Landscape or portrait, slides cut in half and jumping around when you try to scroll.
On a related note, I noticed that cubicle offices are hardly better than open offices. The cubicle walls are tall enough to completely obscure the faces and bodies of your neighbors, but do nothing to block the sound. With no eye contact or awareness of your neighbors, it's easy to mistakenly believe that no one else can hear your sounds.

As a result, on a typical day at the office I would hear one coworker yap on personal calls (wife & home renovation) for half an hour (per day!), another coworker talk about company work for an hour on the phone with a distant teammate (with many words related to my work that trigger my attention), and the sound of phones ringing about 10 times (which is never my own phone).

Hearing all the office noise day after day, I thought about a notion called reverse privacy: If your conversation/notification doesn't concern me, then I don't want to hear it. I don't want it to grab my attention, be aware of it, or have to filter it out.
I seem to be the odd one out in that I actually enjoy an open office setup.

The owls aren't that magical - they are established to be obstructed by such mundanities as thunderstorms and glass windows. The communication latency is atrocious. To top it off they're sentient beings, presumably in finite supply, who can die in the line of duty. Interception and denial-of-service are both established to be not uncommon problems with owl communication.

Come to think of it, we come across actual magical radio broadcasts at several points. Even magical password-protection of same. Why the hell do they still use owls?

I agree there's a lot of cargo-culting and bandwagon-ism nowadays. It's the result of there being lots of beginners who just want a recipe they can apply to produce a certain result. I don't blame them for wanting that or for being beginners, or for being frustrated at the obvious madness of it all. What bothers me is the apparent lack of interest these people seem to have in understanding the history and trade-offs that got us here.
The open versus closed office debate feels new, but it's a pendulum that has swung for decades from one extreme to the other. The reality is that most modern workers need access to a multitude of workspaces: open, social areas for collaboration and closed, private areas for concentration. A progressive company recognizes this and sets its people free to choose the workspace they need for the work at hand.
The real waste: Wal-e is constantly writing the transaction logs, doesn't matter if there are writes or not.

> The author lost me at "Mathematical genius resides within every one of us — most people just don’t know it yet."

An unfortunate hyperbolic opening line, the remainder of the article is much better.

> However, saying anyone could be a genius is disingenuous.

But genius isn't an identity, it's a possession. It's often a currency with limited utility. Consider Bill Shockley, Nobel Prizewinner, co-inventor of the transistor -- he possessed a narrow, specific area of genius, held by someone otherwise quite ordinary and even deplorable (he was a racist who lectured on the imagined inferiority of black people).

Consider Henry Ford, inventor of efficient factory methods, but a rabid anti-Semite.

Identifying genius as a possession, not an identity, greatly clarifies its role in our lives. It can keep us from expecting a person to be smart about more than one or two specific things.
Interesting article.

However, it leaves me with the question why this process should converge to a desired network. I mean, why doesn't this process generate training artifacts, that get multiplied as the interaction between discriminator and generator progresses?
You're overlooking the fact that we've already been here before and experienced the rush to digital as a world of perfect reproducibility and consistency without all the inconveniences of analog.

Digital is better if your priority is the things that are more easy with digital. If you ask me to mix your movie soundtrack, I'll head straight for the digital desk hooked up to the Pro Tools rig and it's be plugins for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you invite me to jam for musical pleasure, I'll switch on the 303 that I have wired into a shitty desk that I bought because it sounds so shitty and I enjoy the way it crunches a hot signal.

Multitracking, refining, polishing, can be enjoyable and deliver a sense of accomplishment when you deliver the end product, but it's work. The music I make and listen to for pleasure is typically done with cheaper, crappier gear, pushed beyond its design parameters, and recorded in one pass. I suppose you could cal it a techno-punk aesthetic; when you have sequencers and editing tools at your fingertips, the personal aspects are best expressed (for me) through performance rather than through perfection.
This is all subjective to where you work, and who you work with I think? At my job I came after the open office setup was in place, before that people who've worked here for 7 years or more have told me it was awful, they actually attribute getting more work done in the current setup than previously. It may work for some, it may not. I was at one point trying to get a job at a place that allowed you to either work in an open office format, or in your own cubicle secluded from everyone else.

I personally find high value in that anyone I work with I can walk up to without going through a maze, or if they're next to me I can just talk to them as well and figure out what we need to do.

Edit:

Of course my office doesn't look like the one in the article, we have our own desks still, just no heavy walls between us. There's also plenty of room between employees, personal space should not be overlooked.

My office is switching to an open design. And none of the people who work there are happy about it. It was decided by the folks who own the company, several thousand miles away.

I think the real allure of open offices is how they look. Open offices look modern. They look like the kind of working area a hip, young, collaborative, industry-disrupting company would favor. But that's all bullshit. It's just a fairy tale that fools outsiders. Open offices look great to someone coming in for an interview or an executive visiting from company headquarters 3 states away. But at this point I think we can be reasonably sure that that's where the benefits end.

I don't think this change will damage my productivity much. I'll have headphones on all day, instead of 10-20% of the day. Seems like a lot of trouble for that kind of outcome. I'll probably enjoy shopping for some new headphones though.

No I am merely stating that the discussions on the social web are perhaps the new trend, but not necessarily a reason to discontinue the classic forum setup. Perhaps, for example, IMDb could've invested a little bit more on the usability and interface of the forums, instead of letting it die just like that. And then at least the conversation would have had an honest chance to be hosted on their own platform. Because as it currently is, it's not just on another platform, it's just lost....
