The first story of the series about how a short-selling investor was able to uncover a potential murder case against a rehab company and profit from it is an interesting anecdote on how the same market incentives that we tend to blame so much on can also be a force for good.

I wonder if this actually proves that Super Mario Bros. is actually NP-Hard.

I have a lot of friends in the treatment business and some of the stories I’ve heard of unethical providers are absolutely shocking.

Ignoring the urine testing schemes, in the worse areas people will sometimes pay clients to relapse after they leave a program so that they can reenroll and they can bill insurance all over again.

Google AdWords for treatment became such a problem that Google stopped allowing them because unethical centers were basically killing people.

Don’t even get me started on the altnernative “treatments” out there. In a town near me there is a place that will give you amino acid injections and claim that’s all one needs to get clean.

It’s obscene that this happens and unfortunately as a consumer it can be hard to separate the good from the bad if you are desperate for help.
Yes, hence "unless you find a computer consuming them" :-)

An idealist, for sure...

... but that doesn't sound very pragmatic.

I love learning. My boss loves making the company profitable. Coming to a happy medium is where a lot of learning can happen if both of you let it. If one party's not on board, then it's going to end up being a problem.
I thought it was neat that Esperanto was used in the books. I first learned of it in about 1980 from a book belonging to a friend's father, who was in the military. It was called 'Esperanto: The Aggressor Language", because it was used by the US Army in their training games.

I GM'd a game of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fringeworthy where I had the UN exploration teams use Esperanto as a common language.

The glaring difference will probably be a ZFS thing. On some systems the default page size is 128k whereas databases usually use 8k. I didn't read closely enough to see what the story is with async writes, or the ZIL, or whatever. tl;dr - there are huge gains to be had with ZFS with a little tuning.
Some people prefer classrooms rather then books. Videos work like that, except you can speed up or pause the video. You can also easily skip around to the topic that interests you, and you'll easily see how long it takes to learn.

Videos also show you how it works and how it's done. Books cannot do that by mere fact that they are static pages. They can describe and have screenshots.

Hopefully this gives you a better understanding why some people prefer video over text for everything.

This is totally an incomplete thought, and I'm not trying to be down on this author in particular:

It's interesting to see a lot of management thoughts and colloquialisms slowly creep into the "other side" of software development (i.e. the actual developers) and become fairly well-tolerated.

We still make fun of phrases like "paradigm" or "synergy", but we're all mostly on-board with phrases like "own <x>" or "growth mindset". You can see the author using the word "leverage" here repeatedly in the same way that we often chide managers for using words like "synergy".

Interestingly the conversation around "effective engineers" has also shifted to really de-emphasize that technical ability - the best engineer is a good teammate, first and foremost (and I think a not-so-subtle implication also is that a good engineer is mostly extroverted as well). In the past decade or so, it seems like the "effective engineer" has become one who straddles that line between management and technical ability.

I don't really have an opinion on this yet (I think there's good and bad, as with most things), but it's just fascinating to watch.
Ah, interesting, the website did not convey that on a fast look. Thank you.
"He could no longer pay for the personnel, produce and precision that go into charging one-star prices." Apparently the NY Times can no longer pay for the precision that goes into subject-verb agreement.
This is effective nonsense. Based on my personal experience, effective engineers I know do not follow a formula like this.

This looks like a list of how to be teacher’s pet. A superficial need to be praised by others as effective only takes to “mediocre”.

...your answer is so far off the mark I'd recommend passing in an interview based on that alone.

What kind of work do you do that requires regular detailed analysis of the complexity class of algorithms?

It's been my experience that it's enough for an engineer to be able to say, "This algorithm will (not) run in an acceptable time for our expected input sizes," and that the precise definitions of NP complete and NP hard are best forgotten and looked up on Wikipedia when needed.

Obviously responses are going to be pretty dependent on the person. For me personally the peak was Snow Leopard, then it plateaued for a bit, and then I feel like it has been downhill starting with Mavericks.

Snow Leopard was so good I used to evangelize and talk about how great an OS it was with people who probably didn't know OS stood for operating system. It was that good. Now, heck, I haven't even installed the latest because I hear nothing but bad and in the on-stage demos there isn't a single thing that makes me think, "ooh I want that" It obviously has a product-market fit with a lot of people, I'm just not one of them. I'll eventually update just to make future updates easier on myself, but I have no pressing need.

>>> any good SO question often has three solid viable answers

the first viable answer is giving you the solution, except it doesn't work because the API has changed many years ago.

the second viable answer is telling you that you don't want to do that and it's certainly wrong to try.

the third viable answer is a guy advertising to use another library for just that. (Just because you use C++ doesn't mean you have boost or Qt available but fair enough).

The fourth viable answer is a guy advertising for his own library to solve that same problem. It may or may not be shameless advertising. The github link is dead half the time.

The topic is closed. It will never be possible to post the right valid answer to that problem.

Answers cannot be edited. They will rot forever and mislead an entire new generation.

Pony has an Actor as a language-level concept, which significantly reduces the amount of “thinking about mechanism” that a programmer needs to do to build safe, highly-concurrent programs.

Quick read: https://tutorial.ponylang.org/types/actors.html

I think one could implement a similar system in Nim using the primitives that you posted, plus some kind of channel, but:

1. Such a system is not included in the standard library (?)

2. Even if a package containing such a system outside the stdlib were available, it would not receive the same application and usage by the Nim community, as Pony actors will in the Pony community

3. So, Pony is better suited to foster a community for highly concurrent programming

I'm not so sure Capitalism is the correct term for this (it's the most misused "'ism").

If there was a free market for drugs (legalization), I suspect we would not be in a crisis.
Actually the opposite. Government regulations outlaw cheap non-dangerous alternatives (like cannabis) and create a monopoly by granting patents to a single entity.

https://qz.com/1125690/big-pharma-is-taking-advantage-of-pat...

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/outdated-treatments-and-dr...

The solution is to make cannabis legal for everybody in every state for medical use and since it cannot be patented there will be many suppliers who compete with the quality and price just like it happens with almost everything that is not under very strict government regulation.

It also seems unfair to compare Ext4fs on Linux with ZFS on FreeBSD. Ubuntu ships with ZFS included. There's also Btrfs.

Also, its known that Netflix uses FreeBSD internally, and I'm curious why.

This sentence looks fine to me vis-a-vis subject-verb agreement: "[personnel + produce + precision] go."

How do you think it ought to read instead?
> Strictly speaking, NP isn’t so much about the finding of solutions, just the verification of their correctness.

Because nitpicking is fun, I'll add my contribution and say that the traditional definition of NP is actually about the finding of solutions, and is the etymology of the phrase "non deterministic polynomial time". That is, a non deterministic machine (one that could magically search multiple states at once) can find a solution in polynomial time.

Of course, since our non deterministic algorithm could just be the enumerate all witnesses, and verify them, then the two definitions are equivalent, except for the verification-based one being much more intuitive.

This is a fun collection but recently I have been wanting to see how well different theoretical models express experimental data

If I want to calculate the efficacy of quantised photons where can I find observational data on blackbody radiation?

If I want to calculate the speed of light where can I find observational data on io?

If I want to calculate the efficacy of quantum mechanical models where can I find observational data on qm phenomena?

Are there resources of others showing from experiment to theory with calculations of real data defending the theory's math

Or even just access to these and similar datasets?

Not exactly. If money speaks than the cannabis would be generally accessible in every state because it brings in huge amount of tax to government and income for companies.
Okay, the way I've stated it applies equally well to all taxes and doesn't specify why the estate tax is especially bad.

How about this: it's a form of multiple taxation. You pay income taxes when you earn the money. You pay taxes when you bequeath it to your children. Your children pay VAT taxes when they finally spend it. It's inefficient and unnecessary.

The thing is that by depending only on social etiquette, then you're giving disproportionate power to those who don't care or those who entitle themselves at the expense of those who are considerate.

I am missing something. The chef believes that in order to maintain his star he must do something different to what he was doing to achieve the star in the first place?

I am not an expert on Michelin guides, but that seems unlikely.

Consider the recent news of the street hawker getting a Michelin star:
https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/singapore-cheapest-mi...

I wonder if his new menu will be cooked well enough to earn him a star?

He has cut his prices and is offering a more down-to-earth cuisine of stews, including the classic blanquette de veau, and serving cod instead of the more expensive sea bass.

Call it the evolution of language.

I'm sure there's a reason, but I always thought it strange that when the subject in singular, the verb often gets an 's' ending (mirroring the plural ending for most nouns) but when the subject is plural (often ending in an 's') the verb normally doesn't get an 's' ending.

The frogs play in water.
The frog plays in water.
Why does the 's' effectively swap locations?

Why not, "the frogs plays in water." Or "the frog play in water"?

Or why not drops the singular/plural distinction from verbs altogether?

I had a similar experience though the treatment providers were actually trying to work in the patient's best interest.

I had a family member who was in and out of treatment for a disorder and discharge was largely dictated by the insurance company against the recommendation of everyone else involved.

Without saying as much, the treatment providers strongly implied a quick relapse and return to the facility would ultimately be the best thing because it would reset the clock with insurance.
> Actually the opposite. Government regulations...

I'm from the Netherlands so you won't hear me disagree with the argument that criminalizing cannabis and drugs is not the solution[0].

Having said that, the typical undertone on HN of "regulation is bad by definition" really irks me. I can imagine that if the only perspective one has is a dysfunctional government, one might think that, but please take a look abroad and see how things work over there. Government regulations are a tool that can be used for good and bad.

[0] Also, in the US these laws are historically very much set up to target poor and black people (and I wish I had a clear picture of how things are in my own country regarding that, actually; I'm sure there's a few laws sneakily screwing over migrant workers or something), but I digress.

This definitely seems like a YMMV sort of deal.

All are more or less smooth with very occasional hiccups.

I also tend to avoid third party apps where possible, particularly the more ungainly ones. Maybe that has something to do with it?

And since when is that exclusive to business? Pretty much every single profession does that. How many times have I heard other engineers using lingo to say bs? Countless.

Every single profession has its own language, and they all use it to keep outsiders out.

But apparently most people here in HN can't understand business lingo, so they just assume it is all bs.

Just look at the example you gave. I don't know about you, but I've never seen anyone use business lingo like that.

But I bet you could say the same bullshit using eng speak: "oh, hang on, I need to ping all the other peers, make sure they're up and running then run a distributed consensus algorithm to achieve sync and schedule the processes".

Pure bullshit.
