> A common answer to all of this is that if people refuse to contact you using other means, they are not really your friends.

Maybe, except I didn't pick my friends based on the way I want to communicate with them. I dislike Facebook as much as the next person who dislikes it, but I would never expect my friends to change their ways for me or the way I want to communicate with the world. Thinking specifically of one of my friends, we will regularly switch between Google Hangouts, iMessage and Slack, depending on the context. If he pinged me tomorrow and said he was cutting Slack from his life (heaven forbid), we'd have backups, but if not, I'd probably follow to whatever means he prefers, because the alternative - losing one of my best friends - just isn't worth it. So, yeah, I check Facebook once a week for events and general life updates, and I move on. Seems better than the alternative.

> Paying an expert for advice appeals to me just because I have no confidence that I'm not taking something important into account.

I've got good news and bad news for you.

The good news is that you're not as clueless as you think.

The bad news is that person you're paying to give you advice? They also don't have a clue, but it's their job to make you feel like they do.

Anecdotal evidence: 12 years of investing with Edward Jones in various mutual funds (2005-2017), and I would have made waaaay more money if I'd just bought ETFs to begin with.

Sure, a financial advisor is comforting to talk to, but the fees they charge are murder on your long-term return, and in the end they're just paid to spend all day reading strategy papers which at best will give them the same return as a cat picking stocks. [0]

Well, research problems (such as the ones you quoted) can only be solved by substained effort and that requires substained cash flow. And there has been progress in all of them.

Real-life research is not like in Civ., where you can exchange $10000 for the invention of electricity. There are unknown costs that pop up all the time.

It is up to the implementation of a language whether that language is compiled or interpreted. For instance, there are C interpreters and Python compilers. Neither language is limited to being one or the other. It's just that usually people use C compilers and Python interpreters, but there's nothing inherent in those languages that limits them to those. It's all up to the implementation.

Hello and thanks for your excellent and noble endeavor in healing the world of Alzheimer's.

What is the current state-of-the-art in treatment (2017, Aug)? As an interested person, I have recently heard on Radiolab that MIT has done research with using 40Hz light to trigger brain-cleansing circuits that pulsate through the plaque buildups. Is this the most promising form of treatment at this time?

Another question I have had for a long time but have had no strong-science-strong-medicine-strong-research friends to ask in this domain is: What is the plaque? What causes it, how do we uncause it / remove the root of it, and is it a natural part of the brain chemistry out of balance, or a foreign invader?

Thanks a lot, hope these questions are within what you are able to talk about at this time. Wishing you the best of luck and success in your endeavors, and I look forward to living in an Alzheimer's-free world one day!

That is definitely good advice. I've seen some developers get overly obsessed with deduplicating code, and sometimes it really does just overcomplicate things. For example, it is easy to end up making things more brittle by moving a somewhat generic method with very specific pre-conditions and post-conditions into a generic utility library. It is even worse if those pre and post conditions were documented in the original location, but not necessarily copied over to the new shared module.

You appear to want to have a particular discussion that I'm only marginally interested in, and I don't really have much time today, so I'll have to curtail this. I apologize for that.

Sounds like we're agreeing, sort of. A nasty bug was caused by an inexplicably weird design decision, demonstrating that they haven't been "doing it right" since it became mainstream. That is what I was responding to.

Backing into my interest in the discussion: it is that inexplicably weird design decision, made far worse by the authors' repeated habit of reflexively trying to make their problem someone else's, that explains why I simply don't trust them or their code. This is a pattern that has been repeated over several several iterations across years - the first one I was aware of was when they were crashing the kernel in debug mode, leading to the famous "fuck systemd" patch-showdown. The repeated replay of that pattern shows they haven't learned anything. That combination of arrogance and incompetence is annoying in college grad-hotshots, but they can be kept in line until they grow up; bluntly, it has no place in my systems, and makes me wonder why RHEL wants to burn trust and goodwill like this.

Moving on: briefly, timesyncd is sntp, not ntp, is client-only, doesn't track jitter, only jumps forward, and makes other mistakes. I've seen reports of the sntp implementation being wrong, or perhaps simply having interop problems, but haven't bothered to look because I don't use it. Those things probably don't matter for a gaming client or such, but it simply isn't an ntpd replacement.

And it still leaves the question of why your init system, produced by an erstwhile-enterprise vendor, is replacing unrelated daemons with reimplementations that look more like college-assignment toys than production software.
Ask HN: What is this new “offline” support trend?
Is there gonna be an internet shortage soon? Why would you want your app to send forms when it's offline?
Mostly you are right, but not entirely. Many of your concerns about electric cars are growing pains which means they need to be separated.

Cold weather reliability for electric cars will get better.

Battery wear out will be a problem we learn to solve - replacement batteries already exist, they just need to be factored into the cost of the car.

Most of the things you need to work on for electric cars are exactly the same as gas. You still have brakes, tires, a suspension system. The rest are things that those mechanics will learn, just as their learned to work on gas engines.

When there are enough electric cars on the road the network will follow.

You are correct that in 8 years the gas/diesel car will still dominate. It isn't clear if buyers will switch to electric cars by enough that all new cars are electric in 8 years (if the buyers don't switch the politicians will blink and repeal the 8 year law). However as buyers switch to electric cars the infrastructure will follow.

The real question is will non-cars switch to electric. The fuel density difference is just a minor annoyance for cars. For truck, trains, tractors, and other heavy duty operations the energy density is much more important.
Just apply oil of plutonium liberally. A nice perk is that you don't have to switch on the bathroom light when relieving yourself in the early morning hours.
Egress pricing for Google and AWS (sans Lightsail) continues to be one of the biggest price differences between them and smaller hosts such as Linode and DigitalOcean.

I think Google missed an opportunity here. They should have cut the prices more significantly for standard tier (sacrificing performance) to make this more competitive.

Right now Linode's and DO's smallest $5 plan offers 1TB of transfer, which would cost $85.00 on Google's new standard plan.

What there is to "lose" is a sense of dignity and self-respect that comes from treating others with respect.

They don't? How would you describe literally any invention that comes to market. It seems like people say that sentence all the time.

As others have mentioned, heavier than air flight seems to fit that category. So does recorded video and film. So does distributing video over the internet.

GPS, rocket launches, cell phones, etc.

Sure, you can use a selection bias and query for the problems that remain unresolved, but if you look at the universe of inventions and scientific inquiry it definitely looks like problems get resolved and to market all the time.

The trick to high-performance scientific calculations in Python is to use libraries like NumPy (possibly via Pandas), and their large set of vectorized operations. Then majority of the number crunching happens in optimized C/C++, with Python primarily 'orchestrating' these.

For the cases where the data-manipulation functionality desired is missing and pure Python is problematic performance wise, one can use Cython to bridge the gap.

Or if that is not enough, write those functions in C against the NumPy C API, and expose that as Python APIs.
Also Standard tier is 24 - 33% cheaper than premium.
Well, start with the stuff that OP's just been arguing doesn't need a standard implementation. :)

I am in a similar situation, as I develop a lot of scientific code. I've tested several solutions, and so far the most viable for me (though far from perfect) is Python+NumPy+Fortran, the latter exposed to Python using f2py (much easier than binding C/C++ to Python). Not sure if this might be a good solution for you, it depends whether the bottleneck in your code is in I/O or in raw calculations (in the former case you're not going to get any significant advantage from Fortran).

I've tested several other languages that might be good for my purposes. From what I have seen, Rust is not ideal because of the acknowledged poor support for multi dimensional arrays [1] and the strange semantics for floats (due to the need to be «correct» in presence of NaNs).

Two options that might become interesting once they gain a stable status are Julia [2] and Chapel [3]. The former might be exactly what you are you looking for; the latter is ok if you usually run your codes on HPC platforms. But be prepared to face some friction when sharing your work with colleagues or publishing papers: the little penetration of these two languages in the scientific world implies that people will face difficulties in using/understanding how your code works.

RAII requires exceptions to be correct. I hesitate to say it it has RAII otherwise.

Exceptions have two issues:

1. D exceptions currently require the GC. There is a Pull Request to fix that, but it isn't incorporated yet.

2. More problematic is the Dwarf exception handling mechanism requires a language specific "personality" handler. This is supplied by the D runtime library. Trying to trick the C runtime library one into working with D isn't a solved problem at the moment.
What do you mean by 90% accurate? Do you mean for every 1/10 people analyzed, a result is wrong? That would be a lot of false positives.
I disagree with this characterization, because they explicitly state that compatibility with the original is a goal. When people have the more careless "re-write and throw-away" attitude, they often abandon the old API too.

So this reads more of a strategic re-write, or re-do of implementation while keeping API, which I think is often a smart way to do it.
That's because catapults are used in places where space is at a premium. Catapult + full throttle will minimize takeoff length. But if space wasn't at a premium, then surely throttles could be reduced, no?
