Excellent post I wish I could follow people on hn
I have VS Code with a dozen plugins running, and using about 1GB two editor windows, each with a few tabs open, as well as the terminal (best point of integration imho) in each.

Spotify seems to be using a bit under 200MB.

For comparison, libre-office with a 60-row spreadsheet open is using 145MB.

Frankly, it's not that bad... I've got 16GB on my laptop (thanks apple), and 32gb on my home desktop, though may go threadripper at the end of the year with 64-128gb. It's there to be used.

VS Code is much more responsive than Visual Studio... and the plugins and integration are great. Integrated terminal, and the git integration are nice, though I wish they'd get closer to full 3-way merge support.

> I actually really had fun. I had come into the interview feeling apprehensive, but left feeling confident, feeling that if I were the one interviewing me I would have had no problem making an offer.

It's possible that the interview really did go that well. But it's also possible that there were two or three other interviewees that had equally successful interviews, but Google is only going to hire one of you. They may end up making the choice by looking at distinctions so fine they might as well have been random. If that's the case, they'd be hard-pressed to explain why they chose one really good candidate over several other really good candidates, which would explain why you couldn't get a sensible explanation out of them (1).

Now of course this might not be the explanation, but it's certainly a possibility. You of course want to learn something from every interview you go to, but you have to keep a cool head about it, and remember that each interview is to a certain extent a roll of the dice.

(1) Also keep in mind that companies (at least in the U.S.) do not like to give any feedback about interviews at all.

There's no "murky water" in how the web works. It's very clear and precise, and anybody can learn how it works. It has to be precise and well defined, because computers can't operate any other way.

Read-only shared memory can cover that. Python's ref counting does make it a nuisance: you can't share it as a Python object graph.
There's a very clear social contract of tolerance though: Tolerate all speech by those who do not violate the social contract of tolerance by using their speech for intolerance. Tolerance is not an absolute. It's a peace treaty.

Then you can pretty easily ask: civil rights protests? Using speech--and violence!--but not violating that contract. They tolerate all who extend that contract to them. LGBT activists? Using speech--and violence!--but not violating that contract. They tolerate all who extend that contract to them.

The daily st-literalnazipropaganda-ormer? violating that contract. Suppress it. Destroy it. No platform should allow it. Nazis in Charlottesville shouting "Jews will not replace us"? violating that contract. Suppress them. Make them fear. They do not tolerate all who extend them that contract.
This is very good news for Emscripten / WebAssembly developers.
One of the main limitation in ASM.js / WASM based applications is a size of emulated HEAP. It has to be a contiguous memory block, what is so unlikely to allocate by browser (from my tests it's ~10% of users cannot allocate 256MB for HEAP). It's that due a memory fragmentation.

Having 64 bit by default fixes such problem. That's a good move. Well done moz://a

Can't say that I agree with Daily Stormer, but I certainly disagree in refusing them service just because you don't agree with them.

If what they publish is legal, they should be able to register a domain name like everyone else.
There is some signalizing going on here, but I can't say I can sympathize with a Daily Stormer social media post assassinating the character of a woman who was murdered over the weekend. That kind of media coverage does affect vendors for Daily Stormer, which I assume is the only reason GoDaddy or Google cared to drop the hosting contract. I'd guess that CloudFlare will continue to push the content-indifference (so long as it is legal) -- that seems to be their corporate policy.

I liked "STM" as a big-idea approach, but can see how going the traditional way may bear fruit more quickly.

I am slowly, year after year, adding space to my fruit/vegetable garden. I've learned to pickle and preserve vegetables and fruits. I've also made cordials, but haven't (yet) tried fermenting the fruits directly.

The problem I run into is that I cannot go through everything I produce. There's only so many jams, chutneys, syrups, cordials, pickles, and canned pears that one can eat. I give away a lot, but it's also sort of a lost culture that gives/receives canned foods.

I'm glad that you brought this up, and how you brought it up (as somebody coming from the opposite side).

To answer your question, I didn't actively consider diversity in tech a problem before. So I think you have a point that it's good people have brought it up.

However, that doesn't mean I always agree with the means of social justice. It is possible to fight for a good cause in a bad way.

So there are multiple facets to this issue. I believe in the endgame of social progress while still siding with Dalmore. I think the correct way to refute Dalmores of the world is with research not firings, and people who would have him fired I think are doing the wrong thing, for the right reason.

That said, from what I've heard it sounded like google had a fine program in place. I think we're on the right track at a good pace for women in tech.

Yes. They have the luxury of my judgements having absolutely no impact on them.

Remembering the good without keeping that in mind leads to the same tragedies playing out again.

One solution to both HIq labs and linked in is to give users, not these companies, some kind of ownership over their data.

Instead of having information about you be owned by which ever corporation collects it, have it at all times be owned by you.

While there are some clear problems with this approach, something needs to be done about companies building databases of ruin where every moment everyone lives from the day they are born until the day they die are cataloged into database for review either by society in general or by algorithms looking to make predictions that impact an individuals future.

> create a very large in memory read-only pd dataframe and then put a flask interface to operations on that dataframe using gunicorn and expose as an API. [...]

May I ask what you consider large memory - MByte, GByte, TByte? The simplest solution is to store it as a blob on a SSD, and read it via simple file IO or put it into a DB. But I assume this was too slow, so it would be interesting to go into more details.

In the end you can do shared memory with multiprocessing in Python, which - I have to admit - requires some setup and bookkeeping work.

I've had hints of that from welding when using a proper mask, but inadvertently not wearing a dark enough shirt (worst case is a white t-shirt - can bounce the UV up under the mask; it's not as bad as "arc eye", but can still be uncomfortable afterward).

Other welding safety lessons:

1. Be very careful welding on zinc-coatings (galvanized steel); have plenty of ventilation, and don't inhale any of the fumes (a fan to blow the fumes away can help). You can get zinc-poisoning, which feels like a very bad flu-like symptoms. I'm sure it can be fatal, but mostly you'll feel really terrible afterward, and there's no cure except to wait it out. Better - remove the galvanization (grinding or with pool acid), or use a respirator under your mask (specifically one rated for it - there's a particular one 3M makes that if you research this topic, people recommend).

2. Less known: Never weld on steel that has been cleaned using chlorine-based solvents (like certain kinds of brake cleaner). There's a tale out there from a guy who did it, and lived to tell about it. Basically, the intense heat creates a change in the chemical to form phosgene gas; even a small amount can kill you. This poor soul managed to live, but not without some major after-effects that will cause him trouble the rest of his life:

http://www.brewracingframes.com/safety-alert-brake-cleaner--...

Note that not all brake cleaners have chlorine (they are banned in California, for example), but this is one of those things that if you've never heard of it, but you find yourself welding (especially if you also do your own brake fluid changes or brake jobs, or other auto work) - and you clean your parts (hey, let's use brake cleaner - that'll do it!) - you wouldn't think there'd be a problem - until it's much too late.

Get the word out on this last one, too - not many people know about it (most welders know about welding on galvanized steel).
The vast majority of blind users do not use text-based browsers. This is a common misconception! They use normal web browsers controlled by accessibility tools like JAWS or VoiceOver.
This seems like a good place to spruik something I made, a Python package for profiling how much the GIL is held:

https://github.com/chrisjbillington/gil_load

In my experience, the GIL is not held for nearly as high a proportion of the time as people think it is, because properly written C extensions and blocking io always releases the GIL. So long as the proportion of time the GIL is held is not approaching 100%, then you can still get gains from threading. This is almost always the case in numerically heavy code that uses numpy or scipy, since the extensions release the GIL. Threads work almost just as well at speeding up this code as in any GIL-free interpreter.

And usually long before you consider multithreaded code, you'll want to move the bottlenecks of your code over into Cython or something, since that can give speedup factors much larger than multithreading. In which case all you need is a "with nogil:" around the the meaty bit of you Cython code, and then it too will be able to get speedups from multithreading.
I guess part of it is that these are all after-the-fact upgrades with limited integration into the lock/door. Electronic locks in commercial buildings etc. seem to work just fine, but they are not an easy "order of Amazon and install in <1h" setup.
This is a false argument. Speech is not "harming someone".

This is a tactic that seems to be more common recently: trying to equate expression of ideas with violence, and then claiming that violence is acceptable to suppress this supposed "speech violence".
Thats not an option when you want to do something like reinforcement learning with lock free updates. In that case, the networks are small enough that you want to use the CPU, but learning sensitive enough that you don't want multiple copies of the network getting out of sync. Then you absolutely need multiple cores sharing memory.

The two resources I recommend are The Designer of Everyday Things (https://www.amazon.com/Design-Everyday-Things-Donald-Norman/...) and Designing Interactions (https://www.amazon.com/Designing-Interactions-Press-Bill-Mog...)

Actually, we already know an algorithm that solves an NP complete problem in polynomial time iff P = NP. We can just enumerate all programs and ask them to generate witnesses. As we can decide whether a witness is valid and there is a program that always outputs a valid witness if P=NP, we can find that program within finite steps and the algorithm is correct.

The fact that google fired him doesn't imply they had the right to do so. There are plenty of illegal firings in Europe as well. Then the employee sues the company and wins. If a judge decides that google firing was legal under those motivations, then you would be right (hasn't happened yet).

Also, in the US, often companies offer you money to not sue them when they fire you. Doesn't mean the firing is legal, simply it is easier for everyone involved that way.

Here the guy was likely fired for saying that he witnessed discriminating hiring practices, i.e. quotas, to improve diversity metrics. And firing a whistleblower is illegal in the US as well. Most likely they will reach an agreement (or they have already reached). The guy will get some money and everyone will move on. Much easier than getting involved with legal stuff for both, google and the engineer.
