For me it's a iterative process of read->apply->get stuck->read->apply.

I focus each morning on working on the number one thing I have to do that day, in the afternoon I can attend to other less important tasks.

Josh Kaufman has some good tips (https://first20hours.com/).

Also as John Sonmez (https://simpleprogrammer.com/) would say - trust the process. Don't focus on immediate results, focus on the process of reaching your end goal

Ask HN: Is it a bad idea to send emails directly from a server?
My app need to send out large number of Emails. But the pricing of 3rd party SMTP service is not cheap (around $0.1 per 1000 emails). I'm thinking about buying a small aws/google instance that dedicated to send out emails. Is it a bad idea and why?
As far as I'm aware, few people talking about Network Neutrality were ever talking about metered usage? The concern has always been about traffic discrimination based on destination.

Indeed, even QoS optimisations need not violate Network Neutrality if done in a destination neutral way, e.g. using the IP QoS flags. You could offer someone 1Mbit of dedicated low latency bandwidth out of their normal higher bandwidth connection, and let them use it however they want.
I believe this study is done as alternate treatment for premature born babies. In that respect these babies already miss this aspect in their development. I don't know how current incubators or treatments handle this or if the effect have been studied. But it makes me curious if it really makes a difference in longer term.

I talk about my experience. I deployed Elm to production in several projects for the biggest group fitness company in the US.

It's incredible. Compiler errors are incredible. No undefined bullshit. It's purely functional, so the code you need to understand at the same time is always gonna be inside 20 lines. And you can use it with javascript if you want too.

You will learn a lot using a pure functional programming language. Programming is about transforming data, so even if I go back to any OO language I learned that state can cause several problems.

Every company I've ever worked out, I've identified a 'limit', where I know I won't go beyond, unless I actively do something about it (i.e. talk about a new position, new business activity etc).

There is a definite stigma around leaving companies early (as a perm) - for that, contracting is the go. I have no loyalty beyond a pay cheque - no company I've ever worked at, has had my best interests at heart. So act accordingly.
My main concern is whether it deserves my time.

A Type House Divided (2014)
Well, I dunno. Yann Lecun and Yoshua Bengio have both given presentations on moving from existing perception tasks towards human-level AI, focusing on how to do so with neural nets whose parameters are fitted via gradient descent.

And I'm not even sure I would call it "parameter fitting". I'd call it, "continuous circuit searching via gradient descent", because that's all you're doing: searching for a nice analog circuit for your task within a large, continuous space of such circuits.

> Those are things that you can do just as well in C. [..] But the benefit is not "speed", but "speed plus security".

But nobody said otherwise? I don't understand your point. Speed + safety is indeed precisely the point. I would implore you to do your own comparative analysis by looking at the types of bugs reported for these search tools. (I can't do this for you. If I could, I would.)

> What makes ripgrep fast (AFAIK) is mainly using mmap() instead of open()/read() to read files,

I think you're confused. This is what the author of the silver searcher has claimed for a long time, but with ripgrep, it's actually precisely the opposite. When searching a large directory of files, memory mapping them has so much overhead that reading files into intermediate fixed size buffers is actually faster. Memory maps can occasionally be faster, but only when the size of the file is large enough to overcome the overhead. A code repository has many many small files, so memory maps do worse. (N.B. My context here is Linux. This doesn't necessarily apply to other operating systems.)

> and relying on Rust's regex library that compiles regexes to DFAs which can run in linear time.

There's no confusion that such things can't be done in C. GNU grep also uses a lazy DFA, for example, and is written in C.

The "linear time" aspect doesn't show up too often, and none of my benchmarks[1] actually exploit that.

There's a lot more to the story of how ripgrep beats the silver searcher. "About as fast" is fairly accurate in many cases, but to stop there would be pretty sad because you'd miss out on other cool things like:

- SIMD for multiple pattern matching
- Heuristics for improving usage of memchr
- Parallel directory iterator (all safe Rust code)
- Fast multiple glob matching

In many cases, this can make a big difference. Try searching the MySQL server repository, for example, and you'll find that the silver searcher isn't "about as fast" as ripgrep. (Hint: Take a peek at its .gitignore file.[2] This has nothing to do with memory maps, SIMD or linear time regex engines.)

And yes, I could have done all of this in C. But it's likely I would have given up long before I finished.

It's the combination of the lambdas and the borrowing system. You have to move all resources into them and then you can't use them from anywhere else.

What I mean is, it's not the closures exactly that are the problem. It's just that closures are one of the times it would be really really convenient if you could have multiple mutable references to something. You end up having to use `Rc<RefCell<>>` as described here:

http://gtk-rs.org/tuto/closures#using-non-gtk-rs-object-into...

This is also mentioned in the Tock PDF: https://sing.stanford.edu/site/publications/levy-plos15-tock... in section 3.2. I'm not really sure how they overcame that in Tock. I guess using RefCell?

Anyway it all seems very awkward.

However, let's be clear, some of those calling for more "free market" actually don't want more free market at all -- they want more government regulation and control. A free market, by definition, is a market definite by minimal regulation and the ease of entry and exit.

Dear Brian, you're currently living in France and you're spewing that crap? Have you not noticed the ever decreasing quality of our highways which were sold to private entities, our hospitals getting worse and worse as the governement incentivizes the creation of private clinics which offer worse service, the privatization of France Télécom into what is currently Orange, the privatization of the SNCF, of EDF, GDF Suez, and every single public service?

If you haven't been here long enough to notice that, since it's been a process done over the last thirty to fourty years, let me spell it out:

Privatized public services offer a worse service and are a danger to society.

>>it irreparably alters your personality in a completely senseless way

There are many things that fit this description: being a parent, puberty, your first kiss, falling in love, a death in the family. Would you cling to a definition of yourself that has no room for major, perspective-changing, life-altering insights? You can try, but life has a way of changing constantly whether you want it to or not.

Recreational drugs serve no "purpose", as you say (objectively useless). But what purpose is there in being born, eating, making love, making friends, and eventually dying? Purpose is what you decide it is. If some people want to explore their brains using chemicals then what the problem with that? Yes, everything has risks, but so does getting up in the morning.

Live and let live. You may not like the fact that drugs can change personalities in a way that makes you uncomfortable, but this is a big world: I'm sure you will be able to find like minded company. Maybe even here on HN? Who knows.
No, thats why we need less regulation not more. Have them as a guiding principle. Regulations are always used to stifle competition.
That sounds interesting, I generally deploy to vagrant via ansible using the same config as production (just a different file with configuration variables) since that allows as close as possible replication of the deploy environment (particularly for older projects on 14.04 when I'm running 16.04 on the dev machine), lxc would be useful for those "I need to simulate lots of machines" configurations though.

I wasn't aware that it had gotten as good as those links look so thanks! :).

Tar definitely doesn't solve the issue of reproducible deploys, a tar deploy has a high chance of working differently or not working at all unless the target environment magically happens to be totally identical to yours.

We use docker to solve the distribution/deployment headaches where we don't know and definitely cannot influence the (different) environments where the package will be deployed. Docker made a headache go away for us - we can make a deployment available to others, they can run it, and it generally will just work properly the first time.

The earlier alternative for that style of "reproducible deploys" was full virtual machine images, not tar.
The alternative in the years before shipping VMs was easy was configuring it manually on site or (if it made financial sense) shipping pre-configured hardware. Something like tar was never a reasonable alternative for deploys - even decades ago when big unix vendors controlled/owned/managed your whole system, them 'simply deploying' a tar package worked usually, but didn't work reliably.
> I said cost/benefit and your example is about an expensive way to do what a car can do.

Sometimes neural net running on a sever rack full of GPUs is also overkill, including the cost/benefit. You get bonus points for buzzwords thought.

> It will train a neural net sooner than it will learn 3d computer vision.

And you would trust it to run as required? I admire your courage. Unless the person selecting the training data knew what they were doing I wouldn't. I certainly wouldn't trust a child to get it right without being trained itself.

> I said that I was a skeptic against deep learning an in favor of the old ways, so why do you claim that I hate it?

Your mention against "building chessboards" for basic calibration as if that was in any way hard or even necessary. Calibration of sensors on mars is already a solved problem. I don't understand why you would think otherwise.

Intel ME: The Way of Static Analysis
how hard can it be to spot these kind of non-organic actors in the social graph?

It's easy to find suspected bad-actors, but very hard to get it accurate enough to be useful.

The problem is that organic actors are extremely diverse in their behavior, and non-organic actors are usually "human driven" and actively trying to avoid detection.

Graph-based features are useful but to get a useful system you need to combine graph features with other things (temporal behavior, NLP, image analysis etc).

It might be the result of some local regulatory deal they have made to become a monopoly, but it isn't the result of FCC's net neutrality regulation.

To clarify, when I said "the web is not desktop applications", I meant that you cannot program a "web app" as if it's a desktop application. The assumptions are all different. The entire execution model, and the way modules are included is different. You can achieve things very much like a desktop application, as far as a user is concerned. But: The network will slap you if you ever decide it's something the compiler is taking care of for you.

As we rapidly convert science fiction into reality, the question in my (vegetarian) mind is this:

Why not genetically engineer them to not have a brain? No brain, no chance it might suffer. The bare minimum of neurons needed for staying alive — pump heart, breathe, digest food — is tiny compared to a mamillian brain.
That is not how it works.

Prices are set by the relative leverage and political power of various competing groups, subject to local variations.

The usual rule is that investors and speculators have more power than developers, developers have more power than landlords, and landlords have more power than entry-level house buyers. Existing house buyers sometimes have local power which is more or less on the same level as landlords, with local variations.

Local planning laws and special interests can distort this relationship in various ways, but they can't change the fundamentals.

Two things can:

One is a change in government policy towards building housing to increase access and lower costs - which is unlikely, because investors and speculators tend to own policy. Even though asset inflation and boom/bust churn is a huge drain on the economy, effective national house building programs rarely happen, and when they do they tend to be literally low-rent, not middle class.

The other is a macro-level slump, which can take out the top level - but almost always at the cost of losses in leverage and power all the way down the chain, some of which lead to debt and/or homelessness.

We did that - paying existing businesses to move out as we grew. Took over one floor. Took over the next. And the next. And the next. Ran out of floors. Then the offices started filling up more and more. And more.

Top management started looking at more space a long time ago but it's hard to come by because we're smack in the middle of downtown in major city and a lot of the people working here are really enjoying the easy access to public transportation and general life of the city. Location was part of the reason I accepted the job myself.

We just found some additional offices though, so all is well again :)

I don't know if that's true, but it certainly feels that way - some people seem to be unable to ever learn how to ask for help. I don't know the reasons, be it laziness, low IQ, other character traits, learned and ingrained attitudes, whatever - but they are extremely resistant to any kind of education on how to solve problems (and asking for help is one of the skills included in problem-solving). For such people the term "help-me zombie" is quite fitting, I feel.
1. Should a school or workplace be allowed to block specific websites? Why shouldn't ISPs be allowed to?

2. Should cable providers be forced to distribute 100% of channels? Why should we apply a different standard to a different protocol?

3. Should toll-free telephone number be banned?

4. Should ISPs charge for data used to check your balance or account statement? Should phone companies bill the minutes used to call their customer services?

5. Should ISPs be allowed to cache arbitrary content on their servers to reduce their loads (e.g., Netflix movies), and distribute the savings to their users?

6. Should a taxi driver be allowed not to serve specific neighborhoods, or should they be forced to serve 100% of neighborhoods?

7. Should posting a letter to someone in the same city cost the same as posting a letter to someone in a different country?

8. Should ISPs that implement their own proprietary protocol as an alternative to the Internet be forced to be neutral as well?

9. Should restaurants be forced to serve both Pepsi and Coca-Cola?

10. Should Netflix be able to reduce your subscription price when used through a specific ISP?

11. Should toll roads be allowed?

12. Should a workplace be able to reimburse bandwidth fees associated with the use of their VPN?
