Love the site design, glad this is a side project and thanks for building it but:

Is this really a problem that needs solving? I feel like using it is just creating busywork for myself. It's not particularly difficult to know when shows you enjoy come back. Most methods of watching them will automatically track which episodes you've already seen.

The vast majority of the "rich" are beneficiaries of generational wealth. They didn't "figure out how to succeed"; they were literally handed everything they have, without ever having to earn a damned thing.

If your definition of "success" is "being born to the right parents", you're advocating an even more unequal society than the one we already have. That is straight-up feudal.

EDIT: phrasing.
thanks for defining "ever pregnant", I thought this was some weird birthcontrol thing as in faking the body to thinking its already pregnant perpetually. "Ever pregnant" as in "has been pregnant at least once" or as you say "previously pregnant".

Also for those who want to know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfusion-related_acute_lung...
I don't think anyone but the most extreme socialists would say that everyone should be completely equal. The rest of us just can't agree on how inequal it's ok for us to be.
If this holds up, this would seem to be a hugely important result. I'm waiting for HN's biologists to weigh in.
They chose a different license that made it more difficult than it should have been to integrate content from MDN. The two sites' backends were completely different, too, so the source texts needed to be tweaked before publishing. I also remember that for for many of the docs, they favored basing them off MS's contribution (IIRC). It also had a very un-wiki-like atmosphere, where the lifecycle of a change resembled a code review, i.e., the opposite of the "be bold" policy that led to the success of Wikipedia (and the early days of developer.mozilla.org).
The article is focused almost entirely on the Rust Belt and Midwest. Kept waiting for the article to expand to the rest of the US, but it could as well be titled: "The Looming Decline of the Midwestern Public Research University".

In the South at a second tier university, it amazes me how alive everything seems and how useful the research coming out of there is. I don't really see the decline. The growth and construction and hiring just goes on and on. Wouldn't be shocked if the financial situation of some states (Illinois, hello) would cause some major difficulties with publicly financing education, but is that going on throughout the country?

Certainly a danger going forward will be private companies that can far outpace anything academia offers in money, prestige, or mobility. The semi-closed, semi-open nature of the research teams at the bigger companies is confusing, in particular, but if they are disseminating that research, it's hard to argue the private route of research is especially worse than the public.

Based on the limited amount of information, I'm assuming that by "training explodes" you mean that your gradient descent never reaches a local minimum. Try lowering your learning rate? You may be "stepping over" the minimum.
Why? That would steer already perverse incentives to interviewing at companies for practice, for free trips, etc. even further toward the employee.

Employers take huge hits interviewing candidates (namely the interviewer's time); I don't see this being a problem that needs to be solved.
There has been a significant erosion in the broader society’s skill at physical/mechanical reasoning and invention.

This used to be a problem with education in some countries other than the US. Now the US has it, too. Back in the 1980s, I was talking to a mechanical engineering professor at Stanford, and he was grumbling that many Indian students at Stanford had never used a screwdriver, and thought it was beneath them to use tools. That was something for the lower classes.

Now the US has that mindset. Too many Americans have never even been inside a factory, let alone worked in one. They have no idea how stuff is made. No sense of the basic manufacturing processes. No sense of how a factory works. This is a problem, and part of the decline in US manufacturing.

The last Tesla discussion showed this. Many of the people commenting didn't realize that the problems Tesla is having are normal factory startup problems. Tesla management thought they could take short-cuts and escape those problems as they scaled up for the Model 3. That didn't work out as well as expected.

We went through this with the 3D printing mania a few years back. There were people claiming you'd get a custom-made fender 3D printed at a body shop in a few hours, and this would be cheaper. No.

There are some very cheap, very effective standard processes for making things in quantity, and if you can design to use those processes, you'll get a lot of parts cheaply. Here's a video of one process, progressive stamping. [1] Complex metal parts are made from sheet metal this way. The dies are complex and expensive, but once it's working, each shift bangs out about 25,000 parts with minimal human attention. After watching this video, look at some bent metal parts around you and try to imagine the bending and punching steps that made them. Only a tiny fraction of the US population today even knows progressive stamping exists.

There is a tradeoff between simplicity/readability and "define how to handle all the edge cases".

Web specs recently have sacrificed the former to handle the latter, not least because past experience with web specs that sacrificed the latter to do the former was so horrible...
Yes. This is a case of hard data confirming what we already know. As in - few types of butterflies I used to like, and see yearly as a kid - are gone. I see them now once in 5 years, if lucky. I bring my kids to look because it's a first time for them.

On the other hand, some types of beetles, ants, flies, mosquitoes, even wasps - are just new. They were not here 20-30 years ago. Now, what are the consequences of all that... I kind of feel we'll find out sooner than we'd like.

Please don't. People who are wealthy came by that wealth via a variety of approaches, but the most important factors seem to all be slanted to keep those on top on top. Another good question to ask is if these people even need another 30 billion dollars or if our modern society has the capability to provide a fair standard of living to everyone.
Correct answer is always no. No one should be knowingly killed or endangered to suit a biased view.
No uprising, but there has been an upwelling of CEO compensation, as nobody wants to lose their CEO due to a lack of compensation.

IIRC, it's been one of the biggest driving forces in CEO's salaries skyrocketing.

I don't think, however, that it would have a similar effect on our (i.e. employees) salaries.
This is a bad law. This will perpetuate the wage gap between men and women employees. These kind of laws will continue the "don't ask, don't tell" aura around salary information. Instead of making this information secret, salary information needs to be pushed more public, so that when someone is paid less for equal work, there is absolutely no doubt about the salary that each employee receives.
Presumably this is similar here in the U.S.? In the 80's and 90's the fronts of our cars would get so encrusted with mashed bugs that it would take real scrubbing to get them off. I haven't had to do that in many years.

It seems that, generally, public education and research funding is being cut nationwide. It's possible that the powerhouses on the coasts are able to make up for it with fundraising more than midwestern schools are. I can't speak to your experience in the south, but you might have similarly generous donors. Or maybe your state is a standout in public funding.
One idea occurs to me is to now evolve the Go game itself in a direction that adds more challenges for an AI to solve, and then solve those problems. How about being able to handle different and randomized board shapes? How about being allowed to say one move the opponent cannot take when you play a piece? It would be interesting to keep track of what variations the algorithm handles well automatically, and which it falls flat on, etc.

I've never found a range to work. They will immediately go to the bottom of your range or even below. So, the range you give better start at the top of your ideal range. Or, more preferably, don't name a number.
You should at least compare the docs for the same thing. For the w3schools article on CSS Display [1] the MDN counterpart would be https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/display and to compare SVG docs on MDN vs w3schools I have a hard time finding an article with similar depth of information.

I agree there's a ranking problem, that's why I usually append "MDN" to my front-end related searches.

[1] The w3schools article on CSS display is limited to three values (block/inline/none) and doesn't even hint there are more possibilities, the most notable omissions being table and flex. It even has an example of overriding the default display ("channging inline to block and vice versa") that uses an `<li>` which, by default, has `display: list-item`, and still doesn't mention it.

That society is still a failure if you remove the rich guy.

Attack poverty, not success. Redistribution is probably the best way to do that in many cases, but calling the problem “inequality” suggests we can fix it by dragging everyone down to the same level instead of lifting others up.
I 100% agree, as a native English speaker (western Canada). "Hey Google" has a much nicer flow, although I say "Google" too much on a daily basis for me to want that to be a trigger (practically speaking).

I open chrome's task manager, which shows total memory usage & CPU usage for each tab in a sortable table. Also in dev tools, I activate the FPS meter overlay. Then I do things in the app to stress it which will depend on your app. If it maintains 60fps through all use cases, you don't need to go any further really. I also use the app for an extended period of time (or programatically simulate that) and ensure memory doesn't creep up continuously. And ensure CPU is 0% or close to it when idle.

If it drops below 60fps in a way thats an issue, open the performance/timeline tab in chrome dev tools & record while repeating that action a few times. In this tab you can also throttle CPU, or you could just do a bunch of CPU bound stuff on your main thread every 30ms to simulate a slower CPU

From there you'll know what the issue is, n+1 calls into a jquery plugin, memory leaks, garbage collections, it even shows paint issues pretty clearly.

From there, you can dig deeper but it depends on your app & frameworks used. For example if you're using react, you might go into react dev tools or redux dev tools. For angularJS apps you could use batarang to try to see what watch queries you have, etc.

For paint issues, use the checkbox in devtools to highlight paints, you can easily see at a glance if the whole UI is being repainted, if so it means your virtual DOM library is detecting changes when it should not. Or maybe you have a legacy jquery app that just builds up a huge string and does div.innerHtml = string, which should be rewritten to use virtual DOM libraries.

For reflows, I also use the performance tab, it shows up as "recalculate style" or something like that. Usually it means you're doing $(div).width() or something similar inside a loop & you can just cache the value to fix it. Again, it depends on your app. If you have drag & drop widgets & you have 9000 widgets on a page, you're going to have some jank if you're binding jQuery draggable 9000x. You can use optimizations like not binding until the user mouses over each widget. To get rid of the jank, one strategy is you just make jank happen in smaller pieces over time instead of on page load or component mounting.

EDIT: Ah, I see, you were making a snarky joke about them breaking into my house and stealing stuff. I do have nice things in my house, yes, not cash under my mattress.

Expensive laptops, computing resources for work, and, oh, I don't know, just not a fan of people breaking into my house in general regardless of what I have?

This makes the law seem even more ridiculous to me. Do we really need the government stepping into the hiring process like this and micromanaging? It feels like they treating us like children incapable of tying our own shoes or something
Or getting it automatically from the employers in exchange for having access to it for new hires.
Great article! Coming from C++, I agree Julia feels a lot like "C++ done right", i.e. where C++ forces you to jump through hoops with the verbose template syntax, Julia does generics by default. Also, it's great not having to wonder for every function argument declaration if you should add *, &, && or any of the const variants.

Money is also the root of a lot of strife, both within families and beyond, both for people who have money and those that don't. People should have a right to privacy in their financial affairs.
Now that's true. In the 1990s, to build electronics, I had to establish a credit account with Hamilton/Avnet just to order parts. Making a PC board at least used CAD, but AutoCAD, not an electrical CAD program. The files went to one shop that generated Gerber films, which had to be sent to the board fab shop, with about two week turnaround.
Style is separate from content. ie. Screen readers/robots don't care about gradients etc.

There are plenty of employers that can't afford to pay 180k, not everyone works for Google, Amazon or Facebook.

Here in London you have a lot of companies that look for people with similar experience that have huge pay ranges.

A Sr. Engineer can be making anywhere from 40-45K to 110-120K a year (in general health care pays the least, fintech/finance pays the most, startups in the UK often underpay and equity is a joke if they'll even give you any (like 0.5-1% to single digit employee's straight after the accelerator).

Yes when you break it down not every company gets the same level/quality of talent but the requirements on paper are the same.

As for Salary ranges in the UK most of them post, but the ranges can be pretty huge (my company has a range of 65-110K for Sr. Engineers (which overlaps with both engineer III and Lead Engineer), and while it might appear that it's "well they are willing to pay 110 but they rather pay 60" deal there is another side to the story.

Headcount doesn't makes sense, quite often you might get a head count for a specific position say a Sr. Engineer but the team doesn't need one backfilling positions with lower grades isn't always possible so what end up being is that they'll hire people with the bare minium amount of experience needed to pass the HR filter at the lower end of the pay grade spectrum to keep enough money in their budget for pay rises or to hire external consultants.

So while huge ranges can lead to what some people see as underpaying because some one didn't ask enough or didn't had a large enough salary previously to get more it's also the case that these ranges allow teams and departments to navigate through the corporate bullshit of arranged headcounts and stupid ratios.

When you need to have 2 engineer II for every 4 engineer I, and 1 engineer III for every 5 engineer III and 1 sr engineer for every 3 engineer III and so and and so forth you really needs these huge and overlapping ranges to actually be able to hire people in a way that is sensible to the your team / department needs.

On the more anecdotal side this is what currently actually helped my team a lot we need a Sr Engineer but we don't have a headcount, but since Engineer III on the top end is about the middle field of the Sr. paygrade we can use that with a signing bonus to get the people with the experience and skills we need rather than just effectively waste money on a person that we will not be able to get from.

I've joined as a Sr on an intentionally downgraded backfill on a recommendation from a friend who works in the same department since the pay would be identical near the top end of the pay grade but having another tier to "grow into" would allow me to get a bigger raise in the future since a grade promotion has a 12.5% pay raise by default which means that if I can't get the raises I would like I can always be internally promoted to for a bigger raise, and it's much easier to be promoted from Sr to Lead than taking the tech expert or manager roles since those require more years of experience in the company for an internal promotion (again dumb policies but you can't always fight the system).
I've been through a similar situation: big mistake. They key is to validate you are in range on salary before committing to an interview process. Companies should have the same goal, but many will waste their own time—as you experienced.

This doesn't mean you should share current salary information, but does mean you should be prepared to state your salary expectations. This can be a good thing, as you can anchor high.

If you're in demand and are taking phone screens on a whim, you can always ask the recruiter to share their range. Odds are good they won't, and you can have some "fun" by expressing concern that they don't know what they're hiring for.

You can only change komi by full point increments. There is a .5 to break ties, but a komi of 7.5 is identical to one of 7.4.

From a theoretical standpoint, any non-integer komi should lead to one player winning 100% of the time. So even if the actual win ratio is 14:6 at komi=7.5 that might still be the best value.

It isn't just an information problem, it is a leverage problem. Suppose a company has 100 employees; if an employee leaves, they are down 1/100 of their productivity while they find a replacement. If an employee if fired, they are down somewhere between 50% and 100% of their income, depending on family status.

A single job is simply more vital to an employee than it is to a company, so the company has the leverage.
