There was an open source version of Stack Overflow that I set up internally a few years ago at a previous company. I was the only one on the team who actively used it, but even then I found it useful as it was a place to squirrel away these useful little pieces of information you come across and don't know quite what to do with. I ended up coming back to find stuff I'd put there a few times and was starting to refer others to questions here and there.

Then after a couple months, just as it felt like it was getting some traction, the server got wiped out accidentally by our server team and there were no backups. I never got around to putting it back up.

I hope not having your knowledge base arbitrarily wiped out by careless admins would be a feature of this service.

That's a very good point. I don't see how they expect their costumers to believe in quality of their own products with this attitude.
This isn’t a technical problem, it’s a legal problem. Most startups don’t have the resources to know that they’re compliant. I’ve read the regs and seen implementations but I still don’t know how we’re going to implement the necessary changes.
Being prepared. This is what I have found to be the most helpful. I'm an SDM at a big tech company, and when I was hired I thought they must have made a mistake. I felt like an imposter in meetings and managing my team for a long time. I was able to relieve the anxiety by focusing on always being the most prepared person in the room (ie. read everything before hand, try to anticipate questions and answers, speak with confidence [fake it 'til you make it]). Eventually this just became second nature and the thing I was doing didn't feel like I was an imposter anymore. I just recently changed roles to a new org and I feel the same anxiety creeping back in, so this a pep talk for myself too. The thing to remember is you got where you are for some reason, try to think about the positive attributes you know you have, and just keep practicing the rest. Good luck!
They keep people out of their archives because things are fragile and poorly organized. Don't underestimate how difficult (and expensive!) it is to keep these documents preserved. I've had pages fall apart in my hands and the document was only from 1714. I was taking proper precautions, too. And, I should note, the documents were adequately preserved according to the standards of the time. The Vatican only wants to let in people who have a good reason for being in there. Fishing expeditions-- especially by independent researchers-- are not permitted, because they can damage the documents. That creates a weird chicken and egg scenario, because it makes it very difficult to find new topics to explore. Also, it means that you won't be allowed to use the archives unless you're certain that 1. the documents are there and 2. they are instrumental to the topic at hand.

Digitizing the documents will change all of that. It's a lot less error-prone and destructive than creating microfiche and it yields quite a bit of other benefits, like indexing. No one, least of all the Vatican archivists, have a complete picture of the contents of the library. Once they have those scans they'll want to release them because it will help us understand a great deal about Christianity and post-Roman Europe. The only limitations I can see are those that other libraries have put in, such as forcing researchers to view the documents in the browser, as opposed to downloading them. That's what Oxford did with their collection of ballads (whether they still do I don't know). That's annoying, but they reasoned that it would keep people from taxing their servers by downloading the entire collection wholesale.

And I'm not sure what you mean by referring to trained archivists as being dismissed as some sort of backwards tribe. A great many history programs have archival (i.e. "library science) programs and training for their PhDs.
> Businesses should be allowed to create whatever products they want, as long as they don't do anti-competitive things like work together with their competitors to fix prices.

Or say, if they owned a huge marketplace and eventually started producing a product, and then refused to stock their competitor's product in the huge marketplace.
> The person in question obviously never saw neither the text of the sentence nor heard about the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. And it seems that these that argue "that is not why" have the interest not to mention either of those.

So argue that with them, not with me, as I've not argued "that is not why" at any point.

> And even if we assume that the given "person didn't accept" something so blatant, that fact is definitely not enough to allow anybody (including you) to claim that the text of the sentence is actually irrelevant.

I didn't claim it is "actually irrelevant". I very narrowly claimed it is irrelevant to the argument put forward in the comment you originally replied to.

To try one last time to make this clear to you:

The original comment implies that the real reason is different from that stated in the verdict. The text of the verdict can not be authoritative on that, because the implied claim is that the reason given in the verdict was an excuse.

You may very well have good arguments for why the verdict was the real reason, but I did not at any point question whether or not the verdict was the real reason.

I only pointed out that if someone questions whether or not the crime stated in the verdict was the real reason for prosecuting him, the text of the verdict itself is not relevant as a counter-argument, because what they are questioning is not addressed by the verdict at all. He can be 100% guilty in line with the verdict, and the original argument could still be true (again: I'm not arguing it is), so to counter the original argument, quoting the verdict is irrelevant.

Nothing you say can change that - it's not a matter of opinion.

> Being in denial doesn't make your argument more valid, quite the opposite.

Failing to understand the argument you're responding to doesn't make your argument more valid either.

This is my final word on it, as we're going in circles as long as you keep failing to understand the argument.
Ejecta is actually pretty cool. It maps all the ImpactJS render calls to native OpenGL draws plus other stuff like that.

You could have read the article, though… The third paragraph is:

Modern C++ does not mandate that every value be a valid instance of its type wherever it is theoretically accessible, so I'm not sure why you're saying modern C++ fixes this. Actually, the fact that Rust does is something people somewhat regularly complain about. It is a heavy-handed performance / code complexity vs. safety tradeoff that certainly fixes this bug, which I think is a pretty reasonable thing to point out.
> You also expect the number of identified cases to increase as we improve detection methods and find tumors earlier.

If this is true (and I think you're likely to be right) then we should see longer survival with GBM thanks to lead-time bias.
HE-ASLR I am discussing with him right now, and I think we will get this.

But honestly, I don't think we will ever see a 7-Zip with /GS or CFG. Not only would this cost about 1% in binary size, it would cost an additional 1% in runtime performance loss. Additionally, it would require compiling 7-Zip with a modern compiler like VS2017. You're just asking for too much.
It's an alternative to e.g. pt-online-schema-change [0]. The problem is that, for very large mysql tables / clusters, running DDL against the tables live will lock up reads/writes against the table for ages. These tools allow you to run those changes without taking downtime.

A mesh network is defined as a network where the nodes connect to as many other nodes as possible. In the limit this is a complete graph with O(n^2) edges. It's true that in practice you won't have a complete graph but it's still less efficient than a more hierarchical, tree-like network structure.

Smaller in scope thus simpler. Unmaintained. Far easier to borrow pieces from as needed.

For example I implemented networking on top of my Impact game with relative ease (networked games are never easy) while layering it on top of my Phaser gamer would've taken longer and with more uncertainty because Phaser is far more opinionated and larger in scope.

The Commodification of Learning and the Decline of the Humanities
It's a puzzler!
Brides have been known to use tools and there are a few species of prey dropping birds out there that drop their prey on the ground to crack it open.

Now I’m not suggesting that there was a bird capable of picking up a rhino but possible capable of picking up individual bones and dropping them or like crows picking up rocks and dropping them on the carcass.

The former is actually a thing:

The bearded vulture has learned to crack bones too large to be swallowed by carrying them in flight to a height of 50–150 m (160–490 ft) above the ground and then dropping them onto rocks below, which smashes them into smaller pieces and exposes the nutritious marrow.
I think its safe to assume the latter.

Except access to a doctor is not the same as access to the key test, usually a CT in this case. In the NHS, the general practitioners are explicitly set up to be “gatekeepers” for expensive testing or referral to specialists. So it’s not hard to imagine older patients with symptoms having ct’s delayed in the past for some period of time - and some proportion of these patients, usually older patients, will die of something else before their GBM is discovered. But as people die less of other things, it could uncover more gbm’s

Having worked in the UK and in the US health systems, in general in the UK you have more of a risk of something that could be done, not being done (to save the government money).

Meanwhile, in the US, if you have good insurance, you are more at risk of over-testing and over-treatment (because it reduces the doctor’s perceived legal and complaint risk, and sometimes makes the doctor or hospital more money)
They're not Google ;)

More seriously, I remember when Amazon was this amazing book seller in the US and me (back in the UK) ordered from them because certain books were coming out sooner in the USA.

I get why they expanded and ate everything around them, I know that they probably wouldn't exist if they hadn't done that. But I do wish they could have done it by treating their employees better, and making the world better instead of just available faster.

Where do you see that this was a mistake? That tweet thread doesn't have anything definitive on it.
Could you restate what was "false"? Are you referring to the article or my comment?

I didn't mean to state that being aware of your need to learn and improve isn't normal or healthy -- but you can't learn about everything. You literally don't have the time to learn (and practice, and implement in production) everything as deeply and thoroughly to make you a tried and true expert. You have to cut and run at some point, if you want to get anything done. If you know anyone that constantly keeps every single piece of the actual "stack" (and I don't mean AWS + your apps, I mean down to the assembly at the very least) in their head, please direct me to them so I can learn how they do it.

I don't think widely considered experts experience the impostor syndrome in the same way that I see it explained. Experts on postgres internals don't wonder if they're experts on postgres internals... Maybe they worry if they're good application developers, but that's a different thing.
Which markets have they entered and failed?

They are certainly hit or miss on product design but their execution entering markets has been a high successful formula. Razor thin margins until the competition bleeds to death. I would like to understand examples of where they failed there?

I will also grant you that they do take a big of a 'see what sticks to the wall' approach to innovation. But do not mistake rapid iteration as a singular 'failure'
No, dataflow's function y is defined in three smooth pieces, one of which is a constant. That's what this differentiation is seeing. It is evaluating at x+ϵ, and at 0+ϵ takes the ==0 branch which returns always 0, which has gradient 0.

Your function also has three pieces, and the only difference from `y ( x ) = x` is that you've chosen to specify a derivative at zero, i.e. y(x+ϵ) = if ( x==0 ) { 0+0ϵ } else { x+1ϵ }. Which you may have reason to do, say to tell your optimiser to stop pushing on the wall.
Thanks, I skimmed it and looked at the pictures but didn't see that.

> It seems much more simple to assume some system must simply exist without necessity of creation.

You are spot on. This system must exist in-itself. That is, it must be so simple that its existence cannot be separated from its nature (to use Aristotelean terms). In other words, I AM WHO AM.
Brings up a good point: the article didn't mention how old the rhino was when it died; maybe the rhino was carrion and the hominins were opportunists on the scene? or has this been ruled out & we know the animal was hunted?

There have been many people saying that cell phones can cause tumors and they have been shouted down by industry experts on many occasions. Now, I wouldn't know the truth about this either way but (1) electromagnetic radiation is something we can measure and quantify and (2) almost anything in excess has the ability to cause cancer because it interferes with certain cell mechanisms. To categorically reject something like that to me seems to be the wrong approach, reduction to absurdity would indicate that there is always going to be some effect, even if it is extremely small and the question then becomes how close to '0' is the effect.

So even if this isn't a story about brain tumors going undetected because of deliberate mis-diagnosis there has been a large effort to make it seem as though there is no effect at all. And that effort was also quite deliberate.

The worst is when it isn't engineers or any kind of technical leader performing any screening, but strictly an HR rep with no technical knowledge or experience outside of names of things (and the tools they personally employ) or an applicant tracking system that will immediately filter you out if your resume doesn't contain ~XX% of the required skills— or enough/too many years of experience according to the parameters in the posting.

And to so many people operating that way it just seems practical.

I feel lucky with how I got my current job— even though it's a very large company and they definitely do operate in those fashions, my resume somehow made it directly into the hands of the Senior Manager and Lead Engineer for the specific team at the time. They brought me in to talk— no whiteboards, no brain teasers— just some technical questions and personal/professional questions and I was hired inside of two weeks— onboarded a month later.

Less is more.

- You don't need that neat kitchen gadget when a knife will do just fine.

- A small number of close friends > a lot of acquaintances. As you get older and priorities change, maintaining those friendships becomes harder, closer friends will understand and help maintain that connection.

- Eat less

- Starting fewer projects at once helps get more projects done.

- Less distractions. Give yourself more time to think to formulate your thoughts w/o influence or corruption.

An exception is more travel. You'll look back and never regret a travel experience.
