It's a classic OA or logistics problem: how many units of X do you need to meet need Y? C-130s to supply the force, F-16s to provide air cover or strike, pilots and aircrew to fly and maintain them, training required to maintain strength and readiness.

Everyone does that assessment on the opposing force, to get an estimate of how credible they are. For the US that goal is two wars at the same time, anywhere. Right now they USAF has the problem of being 'hollow': not being able to meet their readiness requirements due to lack of people, operating airframes, or building technical debt through over-using equipment and people.

So they have the 750th A-10 because they did the math. It's not about heroes, it's about being organised. The force is more than the individuals or the gadgets.
>integer overflow, two's complement

As UB is an engineering method, we need to look at it from practical point of view ONLY. In my limited knowledge, platforms with really random overflow-then-back (x+n-m) do not exist. Note it has nothing to do with n's-complement, it is just a sad consequence of (x+n)==undefined, so compiler is free to assume (x+n <= INT_MAX) and throw out some "dead" code, which is not dead, ymmw. This specific UB is about what you get in (INT_MAX + positive) use cases, and these are very strange, because irl 127+3 is 130, not -126. It doesn't even help in famous m=(l+r)/2.

Though I can see social rationale behind standardization you mentioned. Some behaviors too suddenly appear undefined to newcomers who do not bother to read tfm or faq at least, and even those who program for 5-7 years still cannot explain what restrict keyword means. Maybe I'm wrong or somewhat elitist in it; today's software development is different. We have lots of programmers who hardly go further than learning "a new syntax" and we are doomed to use them as a productive force. Then these UB-clearing moves have perfect sense, that's why I mentioned sandbox languages.
I wonder how much the missionary movement helps counteract the homogeneity. A benefit of diversity is an exposure to different ways of thinking, knocking on strangers doors will give you plenty of that.

E020: Putting code in its place
Yeah, the ML parts aren't in Go. I'm working in TensorFlow, so it's C++ scripted by Python. But there's a lot of incidental stuff that needs to be done, most of which I don't want to spend cycles on thinking hard about, and Go does a good job there, in that narrow niche where I want something that runs on one machine but find python too slow.

At a previous gig, I had done a lot of F#, and I think that's close to my personal sweet spot, but I'd have to use it frequently to keep it in my head. Go is small enough that I can load it into cache when I need it.

A satellite connection is an example of a highly latent connection. I've seen issues which have caused all sorts of other types of connections to spike with high latency. It's important, in my opinion, for your site to be able to handle that (and honestly it's not that hard).

Satellite in a bit of a red herring in terms of the point I wanted to convey.

I also spent about 3 years working on systems that had to work across satellite connections so I have a little bias as well :)

This is significant editorial change of heart. The Economist was a loud, regular voice in favor of austerity policies for many years. That it has written critically of austerity programs in 2016-17 is great, but it's something of a Damascene conversion for the paper.

>The TR-808 is an iconic drum machine, but you're far more likely to hear a cut-up sample of the Amen Break or the Funky Drummer Break.

Lol it's not 1993 anymore dude. If you listen to ANY hiphop track now, especially ones charting such as Migos, Future, (not dancehall) Drake etc there's an 808 hi hat as the rhythm and a subsonic 808 kick as the bass. This combo is the basis of an entire sound that comprises both underground and mainstream (read: number one in the nation) music. The 808's influence is massive and can hardly be overstated - it's like overstating the influence of the electric guitar on rock. Rappers and producers constantly shout it out more so than any other piece of equipment save for maybe microphones / turntables. "Just a snare and the 808" one of Lil Wayne's iconic lines. One of Kanye's biggest albums is "808s and Heartbreak". The 808 Mafia is one of the most influential production teams of the past decade. And this is a piece of technology that came out in 1980.
Both of this and the patent comment are spot on.

I'm also a cyclist, and rarely drive anywhere; but with two kids it's often easier. I definitely started driving more carefully as I've gotten older, had kids... I used to drive way to fast on the highways, now I often find myself realizing that I'm driving to slowly.

The big switch for me was getting rid of the urgency related to driving (I also became a safer cyclist for a similar reason, expect cars to do the wrong thing and they won't disappoint you).

The idea that roads exist for cars is pervasive, and anyone who uses it for anything else is assumed to be in the wrong. Anything that slows down the cars, is the thing at fault.

The next time you've left late, are running late, are about to miss something; you need to consider is that extra 2 minutes and the higher risk of getting in an accident worth it? Try and enjoy the time you have to yourself, rather than trying to end it so quickly.
Your conjecture says nothing about the people already living there.

When you only take people who meet the H1-B requirements, of course it is the case that the percentage of foreign-born people is strongly correlated with upward mobility; all of the foreigners move upwards.

I grew up Mormon in Utah and I love the Mormons in my life. Every leader in local congregations is an unpaid volunteer. Everyone in the congregation has a responsibility to carry out in the community (sunday school teacher, youth mentor, clerk to track finances, etc). As a Mormon kid, I was taught to work hard my whole life for the good of others. I served a Mormon mission in Europe, which was an extremely difficult experience, but I learned the value of persistence and diligent hard work.

There are definitely some interesting positive cultural influences from the Mormon church. There are some negative influences however. A few years ago, I decided no longer to participate in the Mormon church because of its harsh policies/teachings about LGBT people and because I found myself agreeing with agnostic atheism. I told my family and friends that I'd always respect them and their beliefs when I decided to leave the church. I was surprised by the harsh reaction: my Mormon loved ones told me that they were concerned about the future of my children, that I was depriving my family of happiness in heaven, and, as one of my own parents told me, they didn't know who I was anymore.

I think Mormons are extremely kind to non-members of the church and to the church's current members. But if you are a member and you want to leave, sometimes they can be extremely harsh. I also think Mormons are some of the most kind people in the world on the person-to-person scale, but on the group-to-group scale, they can be pretty brutal sometimes. Blacks were denied access to the most sacred temple rituals until 1978, and today LGBT people in long-term relationships or marriages are considered apostates and their children are not allowed to be baptized. Weird mix of super kind and super harsh.

He acknowledged this in the comments and said that he didn't notice! But also that using add demonstrated the point he was making much better: decompose an inaccessible desired instruction into a longer series of accessible instructions. I agree.
well the same principle as with the VGGnet applies here too. If the rat images differ 'significantly' (whatever that means; i am a research engineer not a pathologist) then you will have nothing to transfer. Maybe it would be more fruitful to try to transfer via a huge amount of artificially generated cell images (there are toolboxes for that and its not linear transformations like rotation etc.) blended with some subset of vggnet (or similar) trained only with 'circular' objects ..

The comments on this thread reinforce the notion I have that the Adobe of today is like the IBM of the late 90s: they did so much and had been a leader for so long that they don't even know what they do anymore. And that shows in how they communicate with their audience. "Radically improve designs" "through the use of cloud"? What does that even mean?

What about entities that need specialized members?

e.g an "isOpen" member might make sense for a "door" entity, but it hardly makes sense for a "bullet" entity.

My understanding is that Quake2 "solves" this issue by making a big structure from the union of all specialized members (see: https://github.com/id-Software/Quake-2/blob/master/game/g_lo... ).

Although Quake2 certainly is industry-proven, it doesn't feel right for every specialized entity behaviour function to depend on members needed by other specialized entity behaviour functions.

Azure costs the same for network, apparently (up to 40TB), providing that you stay within US/UK/Canada. [0]

Google Cloud is supposedly cheaper in terms of network ($0.01/GB -> $1 for 100GB) if you're primarily visiting US sites [1]. Still potentially expensive either way, depending on your network usage.

You could use an always-free f1-micro GCE instance [2] and run OpenVPN on it 24/7, although configuration might take a bit of time (read: half an hour, tops? I'm assuming it's no harder than the equivalent software-based option on EC2).

I know on the other hand, Amazon's always-free tier doesn't include EC2 (it is included in their free tier, but that only lasts for 12 months). [3]

Disclaimer: Google pays me money to write code and stuff, so I'm probably biased. I've also never actually used GCE, but that's because I still have a bunch of AWS credits, among other reasons.

In general, conservatives tend to regard poverty as a self-inflicted state, or at least that remaining in poverty is a failing of the individual by not escaping it, and thus addressing poverty should be left to that individual.

Liberals think of poverty more as a systematic social condition that individuals bear little responsibility for, either getting there or remaining there, and thus addressing poverty should be undertaken by formal social support systems.

It's not ruthless as much as different views of why poverty exists and how to address it, and like many issues, not all conservatives hold 100% conservative views. It's common to refer to conservatives who have a more liberal view of poverty as "compassionate", but it's just a word, not a judgement.
These sorts of comparisons inevitably don't mean much because there's just too many factors that are different between Utah and the states the author compares them to. It helps upward mobility if you start out better off, and Utah has the the fifth richest bottom quintile in the nation (See http://scorecard.assetsandopportunity.org/latest/measure/sta...) in a place where household expenses and housing costs are probably lower than three or four of the states with a higher bar for being "bottom quintile". It also helps if you don't have entrenched poor communities, and are extremely culturally homogenous (meaning that those with power and money are far more likely to identify with and support the bottom quartile of people since they mostly share the same cultural and religious identity). In other words, Utah is so different than the counterexample states that making facile comparisons of "education spending per pupil" and concluding that "big government is not the solution" is a ridiculous argument to make.

Author here. I uploaded this slightly hacky project for a few reasons:

-HN has made me nervous about services I love disappearing out of nowhere, so I wanted to give people more options for saving their last.fm data

-I love data analysis, and I want more people to know what can be done with only a fresh install of LINQPad on Windows.

Like I sort of say in the readme, the cool thing here isn't that you can export your last.fm data- which is useful and cool- it's that you can quickly and easily leverage your knowledge of whichever of the several supported languages that you happen to know to query and analyze the data.

Thanks for any feedback!
And perhaps caused the oncoming car to swerve and hit both kids, or killed a family of six in a minivan.

The problem really isn't what happened in the moment where the decision had to be made, but what led to that situation.

Could the driver have driven more slowly, did the kids cross without looking, was he looking at his radio right before this happened? The answers to those questions seem much more important than the 100ms he had to decide when the kids were right in front of him.
Fair enough. I should have said "more competitive". Individual performance, e.g. being ranked against one's peers, is prized more at Yale than at Harvard. I have mostly hired Yale undergraduates and lawyers--no visibility into their B school.
There really ought to be a pithy expression that simultaneously conveys the ideas of 'a breath of fresh air' and 'sanity'.

This is a pretty good summary of how most economists working in the public service tend to view the world too (at least in my experience). It's unfortunate that public discussion of economic issues has become so politicised and disconnected from reality. We seem to have reached the point where many believe the word 'economist' is a synonym for 'libertarian demagogue'. Either that or economists are thought to be 'those guys that trade shares for a living'.

However, it does seem like there's an awful lot of these libertarian 'economists' running around the internet nowadays...

I'm late to the party, sorry. But I use an Android app called Extreme Call Blocker. Nothing gets through that I don't explicitly allow to get through. And in the case of unknown/anonymous callers, they don't even get my voicemail: There's a setting to pick up the phone and immediately hang up for whichever callers you want. It's basically the equivalent of just not feeding the trolls. It only costs a couple of bucks, but it's easily the best five bucks (or whatever) I've ever spent for an app.

That wasn't a critique on science, just noting that the simplest approach (trying to pin down health benefits to a single substance) doesn't work well in this case. It's a good idea to start with the simplest hypothesis; if that is rejected you move to more complex ones. In that case multiple substances are probably acting non-independently in our physiology, thus your experiments need to accommodate that.
Shouldn't be easy to find such link. Take in mind that lots, and I said lots, of articles of the pre-internet era are still available only in dead tree format. You should search around the late 70's - early 80's or so.

The problem was widely studied in any case, there are books and monographies available (i.e: Abnormalities in finfish mariculture: an overview of the problem, causes and solutions. Divanach et al., 1996).

A group of articles orbit around genetic issues (triploidy in domestic Salmon has an effect for sure), and a second group around mechanic issues on the first days of life like impact against bubbles or walls. Acccidents involving chemicals released in water are rare events, all fishes will typically die (this is a bussiness unforgiving with the tiniest mistakes that you could commit) and there is not much more to say except the un-publishable "I'm stupid and killed 2000 fishes again by mistake".

Just for the record, we found a correlation between temperature and skeletal deformities in sea bass that was published in 'Aquaculture international' vol 12 (Abdel et al., 2004). Could be a good place to start searching.
Got a link to that FAQ thing? I find downplaying of potential security issues a rather important red flag.

The https thing is unfortunate and should be fixed, but I've always got my KeepassX from a signed repo.

The cobbling together is also an important part of its strengths. In particular I want the sync of the encrypted DB to be decoupled from the app that decrypts and manages the password entry into forms (the latter being yet another entity, btw).

I'm really curious to see that FAQ entry! Because I can't imagine a scenario where timing sidechannel attacks would be relevant to a password manager app (provided the sync is decoupled, which is one reason why that's so important). If you're gonna bruteforce the master key, you'll use an external program any way, so constant time comparisons in Keepass's routines shouldn't matter? Also it's not like you could remotely trigger Keepass to decrypt 1000s of times in order to glean info from timing data, because it's not a browser plugin. Which is one of the reasons why we don't want our password manager to be a browser plugin. Again, decoupling is a strength.

> The average web page size is now around 2.5MB [1], jQuery is <1% of that. I am not going to be less productive to shave off 1% of total page size.

2.5MB is absolutely ridiculous. Regardless, you just created a straw-man. jQuery is, what, 26kb minified + gzipped? So you could also say that if website is 100kb then jQuery is 25% the size of your website.

Now 26kb is not much at all but small things add up very quickly. If you're not using it, don't include it. If you can write a tiny bit of extra code to avoid a dependency that isn't highly specialized (e.g. moment.js) it's usually a good idea on the web.

> If that means that some random satellite user has to wait 101s instead of 100

FYI satellite connection issues are more about latency than bandwidth. Adding an extra connection (if it's not concatenated) to fetch jQuery can easily add more than 1 second even though it's only 26kb. Also, I sure hope your app doesn't take 100 seconds to start-up :)
