The reason anything with two legs is more stable on one foot is that it has the choice to immediately put the free foot anywhere in order to bring about stability.

I have taught this to hikers who were struggling to get over some obstacles such as boulders. Quit standing on both feet and teetering. Always keep one in the air. When you step onto the next rock, lift the recovering foot, and keep it up until you decide the next step.

"Reasons are complicated and hard to know yourself" -- this is especially true for complex decisions. Sometimes you don't know yourself and trust your gut instinct. The real reason your inner thought suggested a 'no' reveals to you slowly. By explaining your reason to others you risk closing that loop. Some thoughts are better unsaid.

I am a (happy) twilio customer and I do not understand this:

"Today, we’re excited to announce Twilio Functions, a serverless environment to build and run Twilio applications so you can get to production faster."

I did just that ... I signed up for twilio, wrote a simple twiML[1] inside their web editor, and attached it to a phone number.

No servers were involved (I am not sure how I could involve a server) and I "got to production" very fast.

What would I do differently now ?

(source: I've twice left my own companies- both companies continued to grow and prosper after I left).

Personally, I'd suck it up and get the sale done, working hard to make the price as front-loaded as possible. Depending on the buyers appetite for you to keep working there you could:

A) Suggest that you're excited to stay with the business, but if they feel there'd be too many chefs in the kitchen and that you should phase out, you'd like to know about that now... i.e. open the door for them to express how critical you are to the deal.

B) If they DO really want you, push hard for a front-loaded deal (i.e. initial payout versus earn out) and then give notice 6 months after the deal closes. You'll leave some (maybe lots) of $ on the table, but who cares. Selling a company isn't indentured servitude. Someone else owning the company might relieve some stress. If it doesn't, punt.

Broadly-- I'm a believer that happiness is generally internal. If you can't find a way to be happy with this job, I suspect you'll have a hard time with a different one. Starting ASAP, I'd make some changes to see if it makes a difference. Get therapy. Try anti-depressants. Shut off your phone at 6pm and don't open your computer. The sky won't fall. Exercise. Meditate. Try psychedelic mushrooms (only half kidding-- there are some studies that one dose positively impacts depression and anxiety). Eat better. Go into work late AM twice a week so you can take a long walk with your wife. Schedule vacations. Go into the woods a lot (exposure to green space helps depression too). I just read that doing tai chi helps with depression. Schedule weekly lunches with friends.
It takes time to build trust, at least several months, maybe even years. If you fire everyone before you even get a chance to build up trust with them, you'll never get a great team.
You know "ML" throw that word around. I've seen some ehem sites where you get paid a fraction of a cryptocurrency for explicit photos.

I was thinking for training an ML to recognize "acts" in explicit videos, you'd need a lot of data haha... so you'd need a way to pay people for their photos... but also the whole age thing... and why not regular money. But Kik... their own money... I don't know. Easier said than done obviously... I was also thinking about running a bitcoin node, watching transactions and providing an API analyzing sales for "patterns' but not sure... ahh...

Mapping screenshots to code is not hard. By having the model simply memorize the screenshots to code mappings of the training data can give you almost 100% accuracy (for some demo). What is hard is if given a new screenshot, how would this model generalize. To have something work for mobiles is a much easier task than having something work for other more complex UI though. Looking forward to seeing more updates on this!

I actually agree with you on this. That said, I've heard people defend VW and presumably would GM as well with "The law says you must have this level of emissions when your car is tested. And that is exactly what they did, they made sure the car followed the law and emitted what was required of it to emit during the test." It completely side steps the intention of course, and I would certainly not sanction it as an excuse, but it nicely illustrates how sophistry and regulation are an odd match.

I think it comes down to supply and demand too. If you have 10 qualified applicants, I'd be more apt to fire quick and reach back out to the pool to find a better fit. If it takes 3 months to find a qualified applicant then I'd be more likely to be patient in building trust and working through challenging times. That said, I've fired people after a day on the job. If the hiring process failed, no sense in wasting my time or theirs on trying to create a fit that doesn't exist. Better to move on and fix the hiring process. But don't fire quick and keep your same hiring process, that's just repeating mistakes, rather than being agile.

Doesn't make any sense as Rich makes a big point of having wasted years writing large applications in Java and C++ before discovering Lisp and FP.

>We, as a society, want people to contribute the most that they can to the overall goals of humanity and capitalism acts as a vehicle for that.

For the point of view that it's not a very good vehicle at all, it's worth reading Oscar Widle's essay The Soul of Man Under Socialism, which is free to read online (of course!)

Here's a quick excerpt:

Now and then, in the course of the century, a great man of science, like Darwin; a great poet, like Keats; a fine critical spirit, like M. Renan; a supreme artist, like Flaubert, has been able to isolate himself, to keep himself out of reach of the clamorous claims of others, to stand ‘under the shelter of the wall,’ as Plato puts it, and so to realise the perfection of what was in him, to his own incomparable gain, and to the incomparable and lasting gain of the whole world. These, however, are exceptions. The majority of people spoil their lives by an unhealthy and exaggerated altruism – are forced, indeed, so to spoil them. They find themselves surrounded by hideous poverty, by hideous ugliness, by hideous starvation. It is inevitable that they should be strongly moved by all this.

If this is interesting, Kropotkin's The Conquest of Bread is also a really engaging read.
Yup. It doesn't even require excessive malfeasance. Once you are in the zone of just slightly gaming the system at the edges and then you make the jump to deciding to build that gaming the system into the software you're screwed. Because the problem is that once you start down that path it is actually shockingly easy to create wildly divergent performance and emissions characteristics. Such is the power of software control of an engine. And then you are faced with the problem of what to do next, do you pull it back or do you go for broke to maximize quarterly profits while assuming regulatory agencies won't find out? You can guess which option our current business environment has preferentially selected for.
It looks like a very good first step. I wonder how structured/semantic the generated HTML would be for engeniers to "hook' the generated code with a backend
I felt moved to comment on the thread. HN user burntsushi has been very nice by writing up a trick we developed here on the Hyperscan team that should be considerably faster than this system assuming there's enough data to make using SIMD pay off (this would be a lose if the sizes are small enough).

It's possible that a SIMD implementation (assuming that you routinely pass over enough bytes) can blow this away. I'm not sure what the cross-over point is - it depends on whether you are falling out of this code quickly or not. Obviously using a big SIMD sequence to replace a "2 cycles per byte" implementation is pretty stupid if the SIMD sequence is "0.5 cycles a byte" but the fixed cost of using the SIMD means that your costs are >=16 cycles and the typical case is small.

My comment follows:

It's also not clear that you actually need a SIMD instruction - if you've squashed your hotspot to the point that adding the complexity of per-platform SIMD specialization is only a small win, then why bother?

All that being said...

I've been really lazy in writing this up, but someone kindly did a decent write-up for us in the Rust reimplementation of our "Teddy" literal matcher. Please see https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/blob/master/src/simd_acce... if interested or look up the Hyperscan project at https://github.com/01org/hyperscan for a few different versions of this trick.
Firefox is the only android browser with ad-blocking plugins enabled. That makes it the only usable browser on mobile.

Sucks that they don't have an IOS version, but Apple is the problem there, not Mozilla.
Roc has a similar comment in the comment section. I agree and disagree. Desktop PCs will be around, but the vast majority of interaction minutes will be on mobile (and maybe in the future elsewhere). Most of the 6bn people or so who arrived online once the Web took off don't have PCs, and don't need it. Its a geographic/infrastructure issue (lots of LTE in Africa and Asia but no landlines etc), and also a generational one. Kids grow up with smartphones. Why use a PC if the phone works? PC won't go away, but if 90% or 95% or online minutes are mobile, do PCs still matter?
The discussion here got me thinking about my own sluggish Firefox vs. Chrome experiences. I took a look at my extensions config panel in Firefox 53.0.3, and wondered if there was a way to tell which of my myriad of addons (most of which I don't use regularly) might be blocking electrolysis from turning on.

Well, there's an addon for that: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compat...

If you install it, it will mark on the panel which of your extensions are not using the new plugin API, and it will tell you at the top of the panel if Multiprocess Firefox is enabled. I got mine enabled by cleaning house. I'm curious to see how well it behaves under load now!

I feel the same. Clojure had lots of valuable reasons for using [] but it made it step one foot aside from the lispiness I got to like; and it's not really about editor support it's something else.. I kinda loved the idea of sexp being 99% of the idea of lisp.

1. refers to chronic pain treatment, and has several caveats. It's also a blog post, not professional advice from a clinician, so also take it with a grain of salt.

2. isn't using sex as therapy, it's therapy for problems relating to sex. There is a link in there relating to stress management (https://drstanhyman.com/life-coaching-for-stress-management/) but doesn't once bring up sex as a stress management technique.

3. Is just a list of sexual dysfunctions, nothing about stress or treating it with sex.

4. Is another blog post, mostly citing pop psychology books. But nowhere does it prescribe sex for psychological problems.
JOHN THE BAPTIST KNEW THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN SUFFERS VIOLENCE
Yeah, since the vast majority of companies in the United States don't give more than a few weeks off (which is far below what you really need, in my opinion, to undo burn-out), you pretty much have to quit. I guess I didn't really make that clear :)

Essentially what I was getting at was: a short vacation isn't going to do anything. If he can make it so he can take a very long vacation then that means he either transitioned enough so others can run it for him or he quit. Either way sounded like it would work out for him at least which is what I was aiming for with my comment.
I had the opposite experience. I used Firefox the last 48 hours on Mac and it works really well. I can't find a reason to not use it, but also no reason to use it. Commodity products. I think this is the choice most users face. Add a lot of marketing dollars and defaults on Android and you can explain Chrome's growth curve.

SOA doesnt have to imply an ESB, true, but it usually did in practice. I too worked with Sonic , IBM broker, Mule, but mostly BEA WebLogic and AquaLogic. What was often missing in popular SOA was services-oriented delivery, where the unit of deployment was independently evolvabke from others. It was more focused on interface modularity for some future implementation decomposition of the monolith. It fulfilled half the problem.

Microservices have been enabling a new generation to accomplish this decomposition through by focusing on services oriented delivery and deployment, and by dramatically constraining the protocols to HTTP, maybe some pub/sub or gRPC, not likely many others (and thus no distributed transactions, simpler QoS levels, etc).

The issue is when it is a prescribed antidote to treat stress. When sex becomes an obligation to your partner it can create tension in the relationship.
The trick: very briefly:

Use two 16-byte values in SIMD registers as 16-entry lookup tables with "8 buckets" (really just bits) each.

Lookup those two separate tables with the high nibble (bits 4..7) and low nibble (bits 0..3) of your input (you can do this in parallel either 16/32/64 ways depending on whether you are using SSSE3/AVX2/AVX512).

AND together the table results (or OR them, depending on the sense of the table).

PMOVMSKB (or VPMOVMSKB) to extract the results back into GPR-land.

So if you want to match, say 0x12 and 0xab at once, assign 0x12 to 'bucket #0' and 0xab to 'bucket #1'.

High nibble table gives you 0x1 -> 0x1 (that is, 0x10 in the high nibble gives you bucket #0) and 0xa -> 0x2

Low nibble table gives you 0x2 -> 0x1 and 0xb -> 0x2.

Tables are otherwise zero.

You can now look up lots of different useful character classes (not all! That takes three shuffle tables) in about 6 instructions. Sadly the instructions are pretty much a long linear chain of dependencies so that latency is a bit worse than throughput, but we've built some fun stuff around them.
