Sadly, while many people learn about state machines in their first two years (to varying degrees of formality), they often don't learn how to design code using them.

I think the only course where I explicitly designed programs using state machines was compilers (other than writing things to simulate state machines in my theory courses).
It would be a bit more interesting if it could distinguish between the "See Also" and other tables at the bottom of the pages, and the main content. E.g. I connected Donald Knuth to a Geneticist simply because they both won awards (in different categories).
Does that make you feel you should be using something too?
It depends on how often you go to the well. This is why things like Kaggle have limitations on how often you can submit entries for evaluation. This is why some studies go with a three-way split of train-calibration-test. And you can look at things like cross validation, boot-strapping etc. Nothing is perfect. As soon as you lock yourself into a one-size-fits-all way of validating your out-of-sample validity, you'll find lots of people who are optimizing for whatever test you come up with, not out-of-sample validity. It pays to pay attention to how well the researcher understands and deals with their particular set of problems, not how well they meet some arbitrary criteria. (Which is exactly how we ended up having all these problems with p-values! P-values aren't inherently bad, they're just applied indiscriminately because It's The Way We Do Things. If we start indiscriminately applying test/train splits we'll end up at a different place with its own set of problems. The chief problem is the lack of discrimination, not the specific tools under consideration.)

Out of curiosity what makes you doubt human will go extinct.

It is quite obvious that we are collectively failing to deal with climate change and that this could be the great filter according to the fermi paradox where humans disappear. Climate change sure has the potential to remove current condition favorable to human life on the planet as it has already happened in the past.

> i always wondered it the effect is stronger for somebody without adhd

i've wondered this myself. i often hear people say stuff like "people with real adhd can't get high from stims", but i suspect that some of this is just that people want to distance their legitimate use from those tweakers over there.

if there's any truth to it, i'd bet it comes down to the way the drug is used. when you take an extended release formulation (or instant release every n hours) regularly, you tend to have relatively stable blood concentrations of the drug (ie, you don't get "high"). recreational users, and also probably people who self medicate, will end up with peakier blood levels, which results in the perception of being "high". the concentration level over time can be an extremely important factor in how the drug ultimately affects you.
Show HN: An algorithm for smoothly filling holes in 3D meshes
I don't know what is the best practice. `pip` `virtualenv` `pipenv` `conda`?

NodeJS has `npm` or `yarn`, and they basically do and setup the same thing. You can switch between the two without headache. As a new user (or one who has tried on multiple attempts to get into it), python is hard to start.
so dope meaning weed right?

Yeah that's one of the things Cutler played an important role in -- formalizing x64 prologue and epilogue constructs. The epilogue stuff is interesting, there's a small set of instructions that are allowed because the unwind code literally does opcode analysis to figure out if the current function is in its epilogue or not.
Google does not "manage" it's market value, because most of it is frozen, not readily available for Google's CEO to spend. It is also mostly virtual, while GS assets are hard cash.

The point is: with $1.5 trillion in assets, Goldman Sachs can, just by slight adjustment in its investment policies, make whole countries prosper economically, or ruin them. Google does not have that much influence.
VCG invested $15mil in 2015 and acquired it in 2018 for $17mil.

No, it typically favors the middleman.
I'm excited by the potential of memristors, which are already being used in the lab for toy deep learning tasks -- for example, see https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-02337-y . Over time, I would expect memristors to be used for increasingly larger, more challenging AI tasks.

The big deal about memristors for AI is that they have memory and therefore produce different readout outputs for different input sequences over time -- out-of-the-box, without requiring any training -- and in a way that can make sequences linearly separable under fairly general conditions. For instance, in the Nature paper I linked to above, the researchers took a network of memristors, which they call the "reservoir," added a linear layer with a SoftMax on top of the reservoir, trained this hybrid network on a lower-resolution variant of MNIST (feeding pixel values over time, as varying voltages), and achieved classification accuracy superior to a tiny neural net despite having only 1/90th the number of neurons.[1] Note that they only trained the added layer; they did not have to train the reservoir. Figure (a) in this image has a simplified diagram of the reservoir + added layer architecture: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-02337-y/figures/1 -- only the matrix Θ had to be learned. The potential, over time, is for having highly scalable hardware neural-net components for learning to recognize and work with sequences.

PS. For clarity's sake, I'm ignoring a lot of important details and playing fast and loose with language. If you're really curious about this, please read the IEEE article and the Nature paper.

Easter egg? I never have JS enabled on random websites.
I have an iPad SE (i.e., cheaper 2017 non-Pro iPad) and it's great. I've only ever heard good things about the iPhone SE.

I hope they update the SE and keep the form factor (or have 2 factors).
You'd think that...

I did both EE and CS undergrad (we didn't have Computer Engineering at the time). In EE we started talking about FSMs very early on, in quite a bit of depth. In CS though, we didn't really talk about them until the Computability course in 3rd or 4th year, and even then it was in the very theoretical Finite Automata sense; applying FSMs to software design wasn't really a thing that was ever covered.

From the EE material, I started loosely applying those concepts to software design, but it wasn't until my first job in industry where I was lucky enough to be exposed to a system that was very deliberately designed as a system of FSMs.

We based the design of ours off of a pretty famous paper, whose name is entirely escaping me at the moment. Damn.

The last time I looked into these degrees, they didn't teach many of the skills I use in my sysadmin ("devops" these days) work. There _are_ some degrees for it, however - http://nsa.rit.edu/ for example. But not many.
"You'll probably want to choose the start and end pages before you hit that."

Why? There were two random examples filled in the boxes. I have to retype them manually?

A lot of "issues" that you commonly hear about with drug use happen when you're addicted and can no longer afford them. I don't think that's a problem in SV.
Only had 20 photos on there. I have no desire to leave them in the hands of a Chinese-owned company.

There's no built-in way to batch-export your photos, if you don't have a backup. You can visit this link https://500px.com/settings/store and if you click the middle column of images, they should automatically download one at a time at a high resolution (3000px+ w/h). If the images are smaller than that, you have to click into each one and use the dev tools to focus on the image and find the link. Stupid and uselessly, they disabled right-click.

Make sure you do all of this in a non-Chrome browser. In Chrome the images are rendered as webp and there isn't a super easy non-techie way to convert webp to anything else. If you use Firefox for example, its easy to right-click on the image from the link in the dev tools and save as a jpeg.

iOS is pretty good about nudging you to the next tier as you approach filling your current one, IIRC. When I recently had to jump from 200GB plan to 2TB it was one tap on a notification to move to next tier for my whole family, so even for those of us who can easily afford it's arguably not that sensible a strategy to jump straight to 2TB, unless one's goal is to subsidize Apple as much as you can.

HEVC/H.265 introduced in iOS 11 largely makes shooting 4K on an iOS device cost _roughly_ the same in storage terms as 1080p/H.264 did, so recording in 4K doesn't really move the storage needle here like it used to either, assuming of course you have an iPhone 7 or newer.
Why weed? It would seem that would make you want to hang out all day and snack, or just sleep or watch television?

I just tried spoofing my user-agent with Firefox, editor and preview worked but the designer was pretty broken. It seems Firefox and Chrome still have slightly different ideas about how layout is supposed to work, would be curious to hear what the differences are.

I don't think this is actually true. I've certainly been in places where there have been people on cocaine (and sneaking off the bathroom to "top up" mid-party), but in my experience that's rare, and even rarer for it to be an in-your-face, obvious thing. There are certain social/professional groups where it _is_ the norm, but more so in the sense of being a "vocal minority".

Poor people are in a negative sum game.

Many make less than the required minimum they need to survive in the USA, given things like dying vehicles and rotting residences and rising rent.

So it may cost $900/month to live total, but your fridge died and spoiled food. So its now $1000 cost, and at -$100. So you sell a part of yourself to a check cashing company and go further in debt. But you can eat. Who knows what next week will be like.

Thats being in poverty. Sure we can make excuses that "its for providing loans". Yeah, but they are extracting what little the people in poverty have for a little bit more skin.

I think this kind of goes with the idea that if you want to do something then you will do it. Drugs are not as simple as "If I take this pill it will make me do my homework I don't want to do.", but it makes you focus on whatever is really on your mind. I hear stories from people all the time that they will do whatever drug to help them get something done, but instead end up cleaning there house and such. If you really want to be working on what you are then the drugs will help you not to care about anything but that.

An Introduction to Array Programming in Klong

Any plans to filter by mutual paths?
Agree with you completely. He was also grabbing from Paris fashion with respect to the imported "cakewalk"- so there were serious echoes in his music of ragtime from that point on. (I wonder if he heard Tom Wiggins at any point too) And of course he wrote for saxophone (French invention, but later jazz instrument). If the author was looking for influences only in classical music, I can see how he seemed to come out of nowhere, but he incorporates a lot of French song tradition too. Where does Scriabin sit in here- I forgot. There is Debussy-Scriabin shared aroma, if you know what I mean. It's interesting to think about this. I always think about who he influenced, especially Django, but also Stravinsky. It's interesting to think about who he was digging. I'm glad to be reminded of his violin and cello sonatas today. I'm off to put them on. Thanks for posting.
Snap chat was a gimmick: A message/photo/video lasts for a short time and then goes away. That started to loose steam so they went down the route of becoming more like a traditional social network. As the lines blurred between Facebook and Snapchat people decided to start going back to what worked and from Snapchat for the top down. Then the new gimmick networks start getting popular eating away at Snapchat's popularity from the bottom up.

Snapchat is getting eaten away from both ends. And teh bad PR is just next steps.

Snapchat has to do a vertical move. Maybe get into the through-away camera (not the expensive on they tried), cheap Android devices like what TracFone does for quick snaps on the go, or make a partnership with Urbanspoon/Yelp and do a go branded marketing campaign for the best snap with friends.
Is there much in the way of FOSS statechart implementations? It's been a while since I looked into the ecosystem.

I remember that the canonical one was always the Quantum framework, but I never wanted to deal with the licensing aspect of it.
I distinctly remember the first time I looked at a overly long and complicated model class and thought: "OMG, this is a state machine!" - a shortish refactor later and it was much simpler to read and debug.

However, now I'm at a loss on how to teach the junior programmers at my company how to recognize which patterns scream "turn me into a state machine!" Several booleans triggering certain code paths in several methods is a pretty sure sign. Are there more?
I'm not an expert, but my basic knowledge of electronic and with a little intuition, a neuron can hold memory while a transistor cannot. Since processors are based on a separated memory and data calculation, it makes sense that a standard unit of a processor that can do both retain memory and do calculation should scale better, just like it seem to do in a biological brain.

Even when you look at CPU performance, you can often pinpoint bottlenecks right at the amount of available L1 or L2 cache. Cache locality has almost always been the limitations of performance, because to process data, you must first access and write data. So if memory is more closely available, then everything should always be fast.

Also, remember you cannot do software on a GPU, because GPUs, even with CUDA or OpenCL, are not built to run software for the simple fact that GPUs don't do error correction. OpenCL and CUDA will only help when processing data that can be parallelized, so where the result will not risk to be jeopardized if errors accumulate.
My (admittedly limited) experience had some high-cohesion models and it worked ok, with the caveat that they often didn't change independently. It was basically one FSM for a cluster of high-cohesion objects, and the events would mutate some subset.

I agree with your colleague somewhat. If you have a system where every domain object is inextricably linked to every other domain object, then you're going to have a state explosion trying to capture the states and transitions.

My gut reaction looking at a system like that is to start decomposing it, looking for accidental coupling that doesn't need to be there.

That sentence says more powerful, not most powerful.

I do believe Goldman Sachs is the more powerful institution of the two we've been discussing - listing off other influential financial institutions doesn't really support the counter-argument. Google is also one amongst heavy tech companies such as Apple (arguably the most influential tech company since it has the most capital, not because it has the highest market cap), facebook, etc.

Goldman has influence worldwide. Google can hardly go 6 months without a billion dollar fine from the EU. Google lags behind Baidu and Soso in China - these institutions are just not in the same ballpark.

Looks like the case of snobbery outbreak right there. I mean, you can have issues with depth and precision and other stuff on SO answers - in any huge project, there are good things and there are bad things, and in fact there are tons of bad things you can pick out if the project is large enough. But ignoring the fact that lots of developers successfully use it to exchange information and enrich their knowledge and claiming it's just "some random site" is just ignoring the reality. And claiming "no one should be promoting SO in open source community at all" because it's imperfect just begs the question - ok, what should one be promoting instead? What is the perfect site which is as good an information source as SO and yet has none of its downsides? If this is not specified - in the same place - it just sounds as empty snobbery. SO is a practical tool, it's imperfect, it has obvious and known flaws - but dismissing it wholesale out of hand is only appropriate if one has better tool that solves the same problem, and better. So far I haven't seen any suggestions for that.
