W/R to strength training, I've had a lot of success combating overtraining by following the science recommendations more carefully and logging my progress against a target volume which I can gradually bump up and reset with higher weight, and using exact rest intervals. Smartphone apps are a lifesaver for this stuff because they can do all the recordkeeping.

In the mental/emotional arena I don't have as easy a time. I started with judo recently and encountered a phenomenon I remember from other sports back in school, which is the other beginners being extremely hyped up and trying to backseat coach, telling you to do a thing NOW without allowing time or space to take a careful or exploratory stance (also they aren't necessarily doing it right themselves). I'm a lot more resilient in putting up with that stuff than when I was a kid but it still bothers me - fortunately, with the class being just once a week, there's plenty of time to recover.

And with programming, I definitely have a cycle but it's extremely hard to schedule it like I can with the gym. I don't get to pick exactly what I'm working on so it might be too easy(boring) or too hard(can't pick it back up) that day. Sometimes my attention gets torn by other stuff during the day, too, which cuts into coding.
Yes, I guess it is reasonable.

Come to think of it, I objected because I thought it doesn't give you a chance to initialize whatever your object/structure/whatever's synchronization mechanism is. But that's not really true. The call to initialize your synchronization mechanism would contain the barrier you need so a general initialization doesn't generally need one.

Heck, why has Google been investing heavily in OpenPOWER? I bet it's as much as keeping the option there and making it as attractive as possible: gives them a far stronger negotiating position with Intel.

You could say that same about Soylent as it's simply a Pediasure/Ensure marketed towards hipster 20-somethings. People love drawing the conclusion that superior marketing/design equates to better products.

Often times, if you can make a consumer happy with the experience, they don't care if they're overpaying for a terrible product.

The problem with Juicero is that their user experience laid bare how futile and ridiculous their product was by having consumers manufacture the product themselves.

If the Juicero simply made those juices in a bottle (EVEN IF the nutritional value was lost during bottling) I can see them succeeding based purely on their marketing and people suspending disbelief to support their idea they were being healthy while looking cool.
The article you linked to certainly raises an eyebrow, but it is far from a definite proof that her persona is fake... And it uses a bit too much slut-shaming in it (maybe not by puritan standards?).

> Because SIDH is still new and unproven, the TLS integration performs a hybrid key exchange: it sends both an X25519 keyshare and an SIDH keyshare, performs both X25519 and SIDH shared secret computations, and feeds both shared secrets into the TLS key derivation mechanism. This ensures that even if SIDH turns out to be broken, the key agreement is at least as secure as X25519.

This is the critical bit, and the same thing that Google did with their post-quantum crypto experiment: make it an additional layer of defense-in-depth, while still using standard crypto and ensuring that you still have at least that much security.

If "knowing your users" applies to startup success, it should also apply to VC startup success. I think most VCs are simply out of touch and thus don't understand what average consumers want, leading to poor investment decisions like this.

> This problem only affects a minority of chips in the first place (likely a litho flaw in the cache section)

What are you basing this on? I've seen no good reporting on this* but the AMD Community segfault thread (https://community.amd.com/message/2796982) seems to suggest that almost all Ryzen CPUs manufactured before the end of June (which I assume is most of the current stock) are affected. Very few people load their Ryzens sufficiently to hit this bug, but a large number of those who attempt it seem to get the segfault.

* I would like to know the percentage of processors with the bug, percentage of review units with the bug (I would be very interested in this), and maybe some long-term testing of "bug free" processors etc.

I don't think there's a "war on stuff" so much as there is a tendency among many people to accumulate and tend to way too much stuff: http://paulgraham.com/stuff.html. And I'd include myself in that group. And the price of stuff is not just in the original acquisition cost (which may be zero); it's also in real estate needed to hold stuff and the time needed to search and sort it.

I've got a loose rule: if I've not used it or worn it in the last six months, it should go, no matter how much it originally cost. Some seasonal clothes and and a few tools are exempt. For books, I ask if I'm likely to re-read it, and if the answer is no, it goes. In the post-Amazon world, books are very rarely hard to re-acquire. In short, "The Possessions Exercise" is useful: https://jakeseliger.com/2010/02/13/the-possessions-exercise-....

America had entered a time of peak stuff, when we had accumulated a mountain of disposable goods

Right.

It's strange to read the article and not see "cost" and "trade offs" mentioned. My guess is that we're psychologically wired for a world of limited and scarce stuff, but many of us no longer live in that world. A similar problem can be seen in our predilection for refined sugar.
He's reallocating 39.6 percent of 36mm to Harvey victims instead of his taxes. If you're going to be a clown at least get it right.
I know a couple of people that worked at Juicero. The news article that humiliated Juicero came just as they were about to get another round of funding. All of the investors pulled out, so they basically ran out of cash. This is completely due to the negative publicity generated by that one article that went viral. It couldn't have come at a more inopportune time for them, it's almost as if the reporters wanted to do as much damage as possible to the company.
No, that is not how taxes work. You do not get to deduct a dollar from your tax obligation for every dollar you donate.

You only deduct the percentage dictated by your tax bracket. So assuming he's in the 39.6% tax bracket his tax obligation is reduced by 39.6 cents for every dollar he donates.

This is an oversimplification, there's a bit more to it than that, but you get the point. Maybe.
In one part of the article, they mention the laser obliterates everything it images while in another also noting the increased pulse rate allows them to create movies of the same reaction proceeding. Wouldn't they have destroyed the reaction they sought to image? What gives?

Elearning project

Cloud Productions is hiring a full stack developer to help us create an elearning platform and work on a few other products in various states of readiness.

You'll take an MVP (currently in use by a few of our customers) to a market-ready state. Product currently utilizing:

Go, Fabric, AWS, MySQL and typical front-end stuff.

The main product is a leadership development tool based on the bestselling books and private executive coaching experience of psychologist Dr. Henry Cloud. The application uses video and various question types to instruct users on how to become better leaders. Clients are mostly managers and executives at medium-to-big companies, but will eventually launch to the public.

Big pluses would be experience in working on quiz-based elearning products, using data to build user dashboards.

We are a small, very close-knit team. We're all friendly, understanding, tolerant, caring people trying to build something really big and exciting. We meet up for company retreats in nice locations 3 or 4 times per year, and some of us get together to work in person for a few days at a time a couple times per year. Otherwise the position is completely remote.

Replies should start going out on Tuesday, September 5.

CrashPlan woes continue.

I have not been able to back up to CrashPlan in Sydney for nearly 5 days.

Even worse - YOU CANNOT RESTORE! When logging in to their site, you get the message "Unable to login to server".

How can a backup service leave their customers in the lurch for so long?

Suggest to all that have been screwed by their recent decision to kill their Home product, get the hell out of there as soon as you can.

The best I could get out of support was:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Code42 Support!

Unfortunately, it appears there has been a problem with the server you mentioned (ECA-SYD) going down. Your files are still perfectly safe, but it's taking us a lot longer than usual to get the server back up and running. I do not have an ETA for a fix just yet, but I will let you know once I have more information.

You're certainly not the first person I've talked to who's having issues with this server, and I'm doing everything I can to bring more attention to the problem.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns, and I'll be more than happy to help!

Thanks,

Depends on the feature, as far as I can tell. Intel has been known to do entirely custom chips, if the price is right (and realistically, you need lots of volume to be able to justify the setup cost of it).
I really like over-engineering my side projects. I have three frameworks, one in PHP, one in JS, and one in PHP/JS (a bit abandoned) that no one really uses. But you know what? Because no one uses them, I'm not burdened by any opinion except mine. When I change something, I don't read death threats because someone's solution stopped working. And since I don't have any deadlines, I can spend as much time as I want to get the exact solution as I planned. I don't need to compromise. That's quite opposite thing to what I do at worktime and get paid for.
Sure, food recalls happen all the time. However, they are selling as a subscription service- they know what packets they shipped you. If there's a recall they should email you, snail mail you, and automatically issue you a refund on your credit card. WiFi is beyond overkill.
And the math and models all say it isn't possible, these days you could run the CFD analysis yourself on a high end desktop if you had the software.

Just spent about an hour poking around the internet. Fun subject! I believe you are stating this as far too certain of a thing when it's not. But hey, an hour doesn't mean much :)

There are three issues. Issue #1: without some way of correcting orbit, all you could ever get is some crazy long ballistic orbit (Which is another way of saying an elliptical orbit which intersects the ground). Solution? A sabot with standard space-capable gear inside.

Issue #2: hard acceleration needed. Solution? Not as big of a problem for cargo as you would think. Bull encased his gear in wet clay and it worked in a cannon setup. Some proposals calls for a 2km track with a 100G load, which is fine for a lot of cargo.

Issue #3: the atmosphere is basically a brick at the speed required. This sounds like much more of a problem than it is. Think about it: we have capsules re-entering Earth's atmosphere all the time, sometimes as fast as 12km/sec -- and that's at an very slight angle. Shooting more directly into space, the atmosphere would be mostly cleared in an extremely small amount of time. Bull was working with about 1/4 escape velocity decades ago. Even with gear like the Navy's new railgun, you're in the ballpark.

On my cusory search, I couldn't find other commenters as pessimistic as you are. If you have links, please share! I'd love to learn more. In the meantime, here's a paper that studies the issue. https://research.lifeboat.com/ieee.em.pdf

ADD: I by no means intended to imply this problem is easy or trivial, just as far as I can tell, it's nowhere in the neighborhood of being as open-and-shut as "the math doesn't work out"
It's not, I've just decided to use this name here as it was free

Stylometry of regular text can be fairly reliability defeated even by people who don't know how it works. It remains interesting because most people don't do that.

The code stylometry in the linked paper is interesting because it also looks at things likely preserved by stylers and linters: they parse the code and look at things like the depth of the abstract syntax tree, or the frequency of certain AST-node bigrams.

Obviously there's opportunity for a lot more research here. But compared to other variants of stylometry, this approach might be fairly robust

DMA allocations have no problems with caches, but in some situations you can get a performance boost by marking as write-combined if the CPU only writes to the memory once and then hands it off. This results in less cache being occupied with useless data and can be beneficial due to coalesced writes, but will result in horrifically slow CPU reads from the region.

I am suggesting that the author conflated "DMA allocation" with "write-combined allocation".

Paging Mark Cuban.....
This looks great.

One of my complaints with bookmarks is that I often browse though Craigslist and make favorites of things I'm thinking of buying. Those pages have an extremely short life before they expire, and so I end up with collections of dead links. I'd love it to capture a screenshot or some kind of permanent archive when I make a favorite. I only save a few a week, so disk space isn't an issue at all.
Please stop talking about land and talk about people. Urban voters are the ones who deserve empathy, they're the ones being put upon by rural voters. You talk as if the rural voters are the victims here, they are not, they are the minority that is currently privileged by having far more say in the system than they should have because their votes count for more than an urban vote. Why don't you have some sympathy for the majority who is being disenfranchised by a screwed up system?

> Your choice of words shows a view that it's somehow unjust for these communities not to be dominated by distant, populous, and likely unsympathetic overlords.

Yes, like how small towns are dominating the politics of cities by being heavily favored in elections, oh those poor small towns. Tyranny of the minority indeed. Small communities aren't being trampled upon, they're the ones doing the trampling.

A fair system would be one where everyone's vote is equal, not one where people count less because they live too closely together. Rural voters currently have far far too much power given their numbers. A vote in Wyoming is worth 3.6 votes in California, and you're claiming small towns are the victims? Really?
You can solve that by having feature branches and not promises repos to be up to date. I mean saying it trails even 6 months or more behind is a lot better than nothing.
Thank you for respecting that. I believe you understand.

I have to say I'm completely unsurprised at your follow-up result - I've always held that view myself. Code style isn't just about variable names and brace placement, it's also about the abstract design and how you choose to reduce the problem you want to solve to the method that you want to solve it with - and the choices made in that process carry through all the way to the object code, data structures, file formats and beyond. That stylometry may be possible to some degree from object code follows naturally from that viewpoint.

A little romantic as that might be, I've always felt that reverse-engineering can sometimes seem like, via the medium of what they've created, being a few steps removed from reading someone else's thoughts.
