Well, hyperparameter optimization is pretty much that. There are people using algos to improve 'creative' tasks like circuit design.
So you created PRs for these with fixed examples at the repo. Right?
After being forced to use PHP, I've come to respect it a lot more than when I'd only looked at it. There is nothing ground breaking in bog-standard imperative control flow, a default data structure of association lists whose keys are numbers or strings, and libraries to parse every format under the sun into that structure and generate it again. On the other hand, that combination is very efficient for the many non-web programmers who occasionally need to do something with a web server.
Slightly off topic, but thank you for your work on sqlite and fossil. I've used both daily for years and am always impressed by how consistently fantastic they are.
Having used other issue trackers over the years, Jira isn't exactly a shining beacon of excellence. The UI is hard to navigate, the screens are inconsitant, the JS breaks on occasion so buttons stop working, it's slow, has horrible defaults and is far too flexible in some areas but miserably inflexible in others (usually where flexibility would be useful).

All in all, it's not a great product. It can do the job, most of the time, but costs a lot of time (and therefor money) to get it set up even close to adequately.

Jira is indeed a tool, and it can do the job, but in comparison with other tools that also do the job, it costs too much for people to stop saying it sucks.

I've said it in the last post about this site, but I'll say it again here regardless.

This site makes the same mistakes as a lot of other 'alternative' social networks or systems, in that it offers nothing for people who aren't interested in talking about politics or the problems on the original site.

It's entirely a hard left wing community laser focused on discussing American politics. There's virtually no discussion of more everyday topics there (like games, TV, movies, music, sports, etc), especially not in a way that doesn't cram politics into everything.

So people who don't care about political discussions or agree with your political views won't join this. Because there's nothing there that Reddit or independent forums on their favourite subjects don't do much better.
> There is significant dev time that is spent supporting those configuration mixes that relatively few people will use.

The issue I have with this is that too many are looking at percentage/share/ratio only. Yes, percentage matters. But absolute values matter just as much.

Or would you call a couple of million people "just a few"?

And nobody answer with "for Google, yes", that's completely besides the point.
No. Because volumes at different price points, and spreads, differ. Not transitive.
You could spray this with layers of gunnite and build up a sealed concrete bubble. I think it'd be just as stable as an inflated form. Once you had an 'eggshell' layer of concrete, that would bear the weight of successive layers. Might require taping over the edges of the 'shingles'.
Don't forget that CO2 is heavier than O2, [1]. So if we don't keep that wind going, all the CO2 will sink to the bottom of the atmosphere, pushing the O2 up. I'm not sure if that is a linear process (x percent less wind meaning x percent less oxygen).

What the example proposes is to use abstraction and inheritance instead. In some cases it helps, but it many it leads to needlessly obscure code that's impossible to read off the page.

>Both are inferior to "$ymd"

Nope. $ymd encodes information about the formatting of the date that could just be an implementation detail (and might change, e.g. need to have the hour/minute too later, or have the month first, or be encoded in a different timezone etc). Whereas that it's the "current date" is a business predicate, and more relevant.

>addExpireAt(DateGlobal::SECONDS_IN_A_DAY);
Who would ever need to search for that? You'd search for "Expire"

I might search for all kinds of things. A searchable name is better. It's also a good way to write the constant, whether you search or not.

>Now, this is how you create the good old copypasta.

Depends on how many options there are and how crucial is what they do. Two clearly defined functions can be better than an "abstract" function and two instances.

>should be "Avoid double-negative conditionals"

No, it's negative conditionals alright. The example to be avoided is: "isDOMNodeNotPresent" -- where's the double-negative?

>Except at some point you will need setModel() to fail for some arguments, e.g. setModel('Trabant'), and you will end up with some methods returning $this and some not. This is not going to be a "clean code" by any measure.

You can trivially use an Exception to signal that. And in other languages, an Optional/Maybe etc type.

Even "offline" use, e.g. in VirtualBox with no network access can be problematic; for example my XP installer comes with SP2, but it is no longer possible to download SP3 from Microsoft.

Having said that, ReactOS still needs quite a bit of work to cover that niche, in my opinion.

Because it's hard to unanimously and unequivocally identify those who are intolerant as such.

But even if that is your desire, then a dome is a ridiculous way to achieve it, compared to a rectangular structure with a pitched roof, which is easier to build, more stable, is less likely to leak, will probably last longer, and gives you more efficient use of space and materials.

> Learning the time tables for example - you just have to do lots of exercises to get used to multiplying. No way around that.

The way around is to just not do that.

Students get huge amounts of practice with basic multiplication if they are assigned more interesting problems/projects that use multiplication as one step, and will inevitably memorize all of the same basic facts, assuming they actually do the work.

Memorizing multiplication facts for their own sake is a soul-sucking waste of time that turns kids off from math for good.

Similarly, the way to get good at spelling is by reading engrossing books for hours every day and writing about subjects of personal interest. Studying lists of spelling words in school is beyond pointless.

These are not skills like sports or playing musical instruments, where there is a particular physical technique involving fine muscle coordination, where practicing incorrectly will establish wrong movements. Instead we’re talking about simple verbal/linguistic recall of previously seen information.

What he does have is a cool temporary structure. Maybe it can be made into a commercial product for residential outbuildings or durable camps. Maybe other people can take this design and make it their own. Maybe it’s just a concept build, without a practical application but some hobbyist potential.

A game reviewer with schizophrenia #AMA
There is one point I need to add it here. Note that I'm not DB expert, but I need to say why I prefer Postgres over Mysql.

Create a table like the following:

create table user (name varchar(4));

MySql:

insert into user (name) values ('antoaravinth');

The above statement works even though I have given the size of my varchar as 4! And retrieving gives me `anto`!!

Postgres:

insert into user (name) values ('antoaravinth');

Stops me there with the relevant exception! That shows how Postgresql is doing small things right.

After seeing this, I never used MySql!

One can, and such an article would also be 100% correct. Even if Symantec doesn't partner with NSA today, there's certainly a potential for them to be doing that tomorrow.

The pragmatic difference is that it's very hard for another country to completely avoid relying on software products created in the sphere of influence of Western spy agencies, whereas it's relatively easy for US to ditch Kaspersky.
>Using make, you can standardise a lot of this. If you set up a coding standard that after you clone a repo, "make dep" should grab anything the project requires, then developers don't initially need to know whether that's calling out to npm or composer or pip or whatever - it's just "working".

In my experience you will end up with a dozen coding "standards" and project structures. Especially in C and C++ where header dependencies have to be generated by the compiler even the most basic makefile will take you at least an hour to create if you already have experience in making makefiles.

> Do you think farming better prepares you to elect competent candidates than public education?

In some ways, yes. Running a farming business or working in a coal mine or steel mill teaches you a lot about hard work, no-BS, and the farm business teaches you math and economics. I believe that leaves the electorate less susceptible to magical thinking, less lazy, and less inclined to expect the government to fix their lives and less willing to have the government run their lives.

C++ solution (the solution you didn't ask for, sorry) for saving to disk from memory (as some sort of periodic expensive sync) would be to write a stream operator for your objects and stream them to disk. Loading would involve reading them back; would only work on the same OS and architecture.

Alternative approach: For Windows, you could just use disk but pass FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY to CreateFile to force it to be in memory if the file is small enough.
Becoming a janitor is not a mistake. Having so few options that janitor is all you can be, along with many other people (competition), is the mistake.

If everyone had better options, fewer would be willing to be janitors, and the need for janitors would cause janitorial wages to increase.

Basically, society is partly competitive.

No, of course not. There is no perfect language that you should be using right now. Like anything in software engineering, it's all relative to what context you are using it in and who is wielding the tools in the final end. Buggy, slow and terribly written code can be done in any language.

> WhatsApp was built almost entirely in Erlang + Mnesia. I honestly don't think they could have done it in PHP + Postgres.

They could have built it in anything. Federating and sharding message delivery has been a solved problem for decades.

Their tech stack choice certainly has server cost implications, so that does not mean I'm saying they should have just arbitrarily picked something.

But in terms of engineering a solution there's simply nothing particularly hard about their messaging volumes - people do volumes like that all the time. Just not that many that do it between people.

That's not to say the Whatsapp team is not impressive - to have set up and run a system like theirs with that few people is impressive, and it's very much possible Erlang + Mnesia was instrumental to that.
