But sleeping makes you much more vulnerable to predation, and really doesn't save much more energy vs. quiet/restful wakefulness.

Just think of how disoriented you are when something wakes you up in the middle of night - that's a definite biological cost if that thing is something threatening to you.

And of course, never mind creatures that have gone as far as the 50/50 brain adaptation (IE Dolphins), they simply have to be at least partially awake all the time.

This is a nice little presentation! Although I wish there was a "context switching" guide that highlights the main differences between all of the languages. After working in Julia or Python for 8 hours, I switch to JavaScript and suddenly forget how strings work. I wish there was a giant table with all of the main differences between the major languages listed so I can glance at it quickly and be on my way.
Oh yeah, I wrote the blog post. And it had nothing to do with our launch. It was supposed to be funny, not a comprehensively detailed argument.

Yes, I really believe that. And the reason why is probably not going to be very popular here but I believe that we took a wrong turn at some point in the past two or three decades that made us concentrate on the wrong thing. In the mid 80's there was a fairly strong push to substantially improve the quality of software, rather than the quantity. And when the web happened that all got flushed down the toilet and we now have about 500 ways to do the exact same thing, none of them very good, efficient or stable.

It's like the world just after the Cambrian explosion. Lots of room for expansion but no real plan or intelligence behind it resulting in a ton of repeat work and variations on themes that will ultimately go nowhere.

And once all that noise has died down the real work can finally begin, much more wood behind far fewer arrows.

This strikes me as the type of comment that sounds artificially 'deep' but has no constructive or logical basis. What does 'default state' even mean in this context? The fact is we naturally sleep sometimes and we're awake at other times. If you're suggesting there's no reason for sleep other than conserving energy, that's patently false.

The (assumed) primary motive here is to find a way to sleep less. We already have ways to force wakefulness. We now need to find ways to mitigate negative side effects hence the research on various health functions sleep contributes towards.
One of my favorite quotes from Making Money, discussing the true power of gold:

"It’s in the city itself. The city says: In exchange for that gold, you will have all these things. The city is the magician, the alchemist in reverse. It turns worthless gold into…everything."
Why do you say it's messy? Would love to get feedback on improvements we can make :)
Interval training has always been a cheat-code for me in terms of getting in shape, then staying in shape when I wasn't able to spend a lot of time in the gym. As someone who comes from an engineering background, I have a special appreciation for how efficient it is in terms of time-spent and results.
I don't think the author missed the mark. He does elaborate on the other factors, such as social adaption:

> I don’t see this mindset shifting, so my advice to youngsters has remained: you need to adapt yourself. You need to find the right way to speak to different people, at different times in different contexts. This is not compromising who you are, but rather adapting to the relevant surroundings.
Thanks for the pointer. Your service looks interesting!

A little advice: it's probably best to post a disclaimer that you are the founder of RhodeCode whenever you post about it on HN. OTOH, you get credit for including that info in your HN profile.
It sounds like the real problem here is that time specifications are fundamentally contextual, and for whatever reason the application either doesn't have enough machine-readable context to work with or doesn't use it.

Even then, it's still not clear-cut enough for computers to guess. Imagine the following facts are presented in this order:

1. "It is a Friday, and I am in London right now."

2. "On Tuesday I have an incredibly important [X o'clock] phone-call with someone here in the London Office."

3. "I am traveling to Prague on Monday and returning on Friday."

As a human, can you tell when the phone-call is? Did the traveler intend wall-clock X "here" in London, or did they mean wall-clock X wherever they'd physically be in the future? If it's that ambiguous to a human, do you want your software to make fancy guesses?

If tomorrow IBM came out with a POWER8 box at a price point competitive with my Xeon E3 workhorse running full Fedora 25 or Ubuntu 17.04, I wouldn't think twice. Same goes for Oracle and SPARC. The lowest POWER goes is in the mid E5 range, which I can't justify for my home office.
Wild repos are the self-service thing I referred to. You can turn off auto-create, so users have to explicitly run the `create` command - I did this, and typos have not been a problem for my users. The other niggle is the `perms` command is not as easy to use as I would like. But on the whole gitolite with wild repos has been really low-maintenance.
Is it always about the best? Have you ever heard about "just half an hour of exercise a day"?
They're historically low cost, yes. That said, they're more expensive than they were in, say, 2000, when fuel costs fell through the floor.

Budget European carriers that fly to airports you've never heard of are another story entirely.
It's especially sad because git is distributed and every time there's a GitHub outage I hear online some teams are blocked for the day. But everyone has the whole repo. You're not screwed like if your SVN or Perforce server goes down. Anyone could become the new "remote to push to / pull from" until the outage is resolved, or you could set up one of these bare repos somewhere pretty quick. When the outage is resolved someone just pushes to the original and you're all fine.

There is so much truth in this. I would look at the situation as an opportunity. The freedom to live your life as you want, even for a short amount of time, can change your perspective forever.

And it doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing situation. You might find that you are looking to get back to work a week after traveling. In fact, take a two week trip somewhere. Pretend you will be there for a while. Come back home and consider whether that is what you want from your life for the next N months. The rest will fall into place.

Safe and happy travels, and remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

I grew up in a very poor part of the country, certainly bottom 5%. And eventually paid my own way through an Ivy League school... I would say that the lessons my dad taught me were solid.

1) It's important to work hard. You don't work hard to get ahead... you work hard so you are satisfied that you gave it your all. Take pride in your accomplishments -- however small. Work until you're happy with what you have done.

2) Be careful what you wish for -- what you choose to dedicate your life to doing is important, but know that luck plays a huge role. You can't count on luck, but you can be immensely thankful for it and humble accepting it.

3) The world is yours to make what you will out of it. You're the only one who can determine what is right for you. Nobody is better than you are, but you're no better than anyone else -- stand up for yourself, and be kind to those you run into along the way.
Interesting research, but terrible name for the project.
> If you happen to learn everything about protocols, the interpreter gotchas, there is the standard library which is also huge, and if you got everything in it, there is the ecosystem, which is so large nobody can know about every package.

I don't think the library and packages are part of the language though. Just like there is a 'C' without a standard library there is Python 'the language'.

As for the 90%, 90% of the code you write is boring and simple. The one thing I really missed in the slides was list comprehensions, presumably they are in the '10%', but I use them all the time.
Wording changed to allow reference to it being an Octal Game, and the footnote marker has been included. And you are right in your description. Specifically:

* A move consists of removing exactly one token from any heap.

* You may not leave an empty heap;

* You may leave the rest of the tokens as a single heap;

* You may divide the remaining tokens into exactly two heaps.

That is basically just a re-wording of what you have already said, but using "heaps" instead of "rows".

This has to be the reason. It seems like it would be a no brainer to offer a premium service UNLESS it cannibalized their VASTLY more expensive premium services. No business is going to pay 5x for all of their employees' tickets when a reasonable option exists for only 50% more, and it might hurt frequent flier programs because people are less concerned with competing for status when you can just buy a premium seat from anyone for a reasonable cost.

If it was just about the extra space over a normal coach seat, the premium would only be 10-20% for a much larger seat.
Interesting. If the cleaning process itself depended on firing of the neurons during the day (whatever happened that day) then activating to purge these same neurons could somehow appear to have some meaning where the activations would in some way be tied to the events triggered during the day.

SDF and its "long-running public multitenant shell server" kin are all pretty old, and not one of them has been spared from slowdowns due to oversubscription.

It's sort of like an MMO: it's only fun when you're on a heavily-populated "shard", but that also means that you're all putting strain on the same server.

I'm surprised that there's no more modern implementation of the same multitenant "shell system" as a scale-free distributed architecture—like Mesos, z/OS, or any other "multi-tenant scheduler of interactive container-jobs with access to a common GlusterFS volume" kind of approach. A PaaS you can hang out in like a BBS.

Come to think, you could put one of these up on AWS, using EC2 autoscaling + K8s/Docker Swarm + Amazon EFS for storage, quite easily. Has anyone done this yet?

CMOS process scaling has been a pretty amazing unicorn. The fact that neither Intel nor anyone else has unveiled a CMOS 2.0 isn't for lack of research. There are various possibilities but they're either tactical and limited or very much still in the Labs phase.

I agree that the consequences of compute power no longer advancing year-to-year will be significant but I can't agree this is a case of nobody's trying hard enough.

Amazon's free cash flow (at least by their own definition, which I'm not attempting to debate) is tied to operating efficiency above all else. for Uber to pull the same trick it appears the only place Uber could start making more money at scale would be via autonomous cars, which Travis himself has said is critical to the success of the company: http://www.businessinsider.com/travis-kalanick-interview-on-...

If that's the case then Uber is a very different company with a very different business model and risks, so it's very tricky to assess it as the same company (at this point). until then it does seem like the "scale at all costs" mentality is currently coming back to bite them.
I wasn't trying to joke, but I might have whooshed is GP was. I doubt it though.
It occurs to me that there should be some kind of strategy that allows for simplified computation of numerical state variables though? Since in a lot of cases the value being within a certain range is more important than it's exact amount (e.g. HP > max damage of a single blow, or of MP is >= spell cost). Intuitively I'd probably want to try some kind probability-density function to represent numerical stats.
It's not unlike designing a race car. You can put a monster engine, but it'll add weight, require more fuel, add inertia which will demand a more complicated suspension and wider, heavier tires to be able to do fast curves, and so on.

That their payment table needs some work is out of question. However, membership is entirely voluntary. If someone is a member and pays more in than they get out there has to be some other value they get of it or they would not be a member.
The strawman is yours. The author clearly does not believe or say that hard work doesn't matter at all. That's obvious to anyone who actually read it instead of having a knee-jerk reaction to the title and not even bothering to quote-mine before responding. All he's saying is that hard work is only one factor, and that others must be addressed for that hard work to earn its just reward.
My impression is that GitLab is a web application. It does not really serve the same use case. Web access is good for open source projects where people may want to read the source without downloading the full repo. In the case of private projects, chances are that everyone involved will want to clone the whole repo anyways.
Because wait staff makes less than minimum wage with the expectation that they will make up for it with tips. It's not a good excuse, it's just what happens to be enshrined in the law. It's really just a way for restaurants to cheap out and not pay their employees a proper wage.
Intel has always been a great research company. They are responsible for OpenCV[1] and largely the entire augmented reality craze is from that sponsored work. They are an important part of technological progression in the last couple decades, they even made Apple sales pick up with intel chips (creating a killer *nix dev machine for a time '06ish) before the iPhone came along.

It would be a shame if the bean counters got them into this with drawing back r&d and are now taking r&d away. The engineers are definitely not in control at Intel today, hard to quantify research projects and developer/engineer outreach to non engineers. These types of moves have been known to kill off companies.

Speaking of chip area, one possible path is designing ISAs that require less silicon to efficiently decode, reorder and retire.

It'd be, of course, totally incompatible with what we have now.
Gitlab also can be run in your own server. It actually has an enterprise and an open source version. We use the open source one for a couple of years and it is really great - I recommend it with all my heart.

It has great instructions for installing directly from source and you don't really need to be familiar with ruby to install it. It requires some standard components (web server, database) which should exist on all servers and then you follow the instructions and presto! You have your own gitlab!! It also has great upgrade instructions so you can always be up-to-date.

I know gitlab can also be used through the cloud version (and it even has free private repos) however some organizations feel better if the source code of their projects stay inside the organization.

I actually hope you're right. As you (approximately) wrote in another comment, "you canna change the laws of physics." CMOS has been a very special technology but it's obviously reaching the end of its life.
Unfortunately that's not a safe assumption either: Suppose the user is scheduling a phone call to reach someone who is back home at the location they haven't left yet.

Alternately, suppose the user changes their destination to another country in another timezone: Does the phone call get rescheduled to another absolute time?

> like most languages int() rounds toward zero, and unlike most languages Python division rounds down

As someone who only occasionally needs to manipulate python, and someone who rarely needs to do integer arithmetic on negative numbers (beyond addition/subtraction) this caused me to do a double-take.

I'd always just assumed that languages that treat floats and integers separately would always round integer division towards zero, but TIL python rounds to the left on the number line.

It's really true! Turns out it's true in ruby, too:

-5 / 4 == -2

How 'bout that. Anyone know what other languages treat integer division in this way?

16 Effective Tips to Boost Your Energy Level and Be More Productive
> Developing a solution for that non-critical problem allows you to feel like you are making progress when, in fact, you aren't actually moving your business forward at the pace you should be. Having someone question your roadmap with an external viewpoint really makes it clear when you are going down a rabbit hole and that is where the value of these office hours seem to lie.

It's all about balance. In the first year or so you can afford this but later on you definitely should make room for non-user visible items on your roadmap otherwise sooner rather than later you'll find your development stagnating due to mounting technical debt. And just like real debt there is an escape velocity element there: too much technical debt and your progress will slow down to nothing while your competitors are still moving forward (provided they do a better job).

This is a real risk, one I've witnessed in several start-ups over the last couple of years. Fortunately, once identified it is relatively easy to get moving again but it can really creep in unseen.
