> automatic differentiation will compute the correct derivative when such a thing is available, and some nonsense answer otherwise

The problem is this is false too. Just modify my example a bit:

y = x if x > 0 else x if x < 0 else 0

Here we clearly have y'(0) = 1, yet autodiff would seem to give y'(0) = 0.

This is where the rule of threes is useful for me. The third time I find myself answering the same question for someone, I'll make sure it get put in the wiki. Then next time I get asked, I just give the asker the URL.

Saves time and breath. Also serves as a mini-tutorial on the utility of the wiki.
Yes, it was the dot com bubble when being a tech person was cool. Before that, we were dorks.
I just figured this out, but that's $5/month for _active_ users. So if you don't use it, you don't pay for it. Not exactly sure what counts as an "active" user though.
Stack Overflow has very small experience with reusing the knowledge, aimed primarily at providing fast on-site answers, for questions too localized for reuse. I have doubts in its ability to provide a solid documentation base, given a flop it made of Documentation project. Wikipedia is a way better source of reusable knowledge than Stack Overflow, and for a reason.

Worked for one the biggest - and most "respectable" player in this "industry".

Between terrible security practices - had to fight for basic stuff that would make any of you grab pitchforks, attempts to get away with as much as they could with regards to regulation and finally the terrible ethics of the system, I didn't last long.

> Impostor syndrome is associated with overwork, with an overly keen focus on pleasing others, and with an almost desperate drive to constantly achieve more.

We know the wages have stagnated, we know there are fewer and fewer jobs, and stiffer competition.

Sane people as a result, overwork, try to achieve more, and try to please superiors to get head.

It's just survival instincts. When you're on a sinking Titanic, you're pretty stressed to get to be one of the people on one of the boats!

The alternative is to get together with your buddies, face your fate and play some music together, while everyone else is scrambling.

Since playing music (playing computer games in your mom's basement) is frowned upon, most people choose the 'try to make it' route. That route is stressful - especially when you KNOW in your heart, you shouldn't be on that boat. Knowing you shouldn't be on the boat, and yet trying to get on it, feels shitty. Yes, yes it does.

Another way to look at it is, are we really on a sinking Titanic? Or are some fuckers hoarding money at our expense making it so? I don't know that people are intelligent enough to figure that one out, so it goes.
It doesn't even look the same, it's square and goes up to floor level for Tesla, Nikola's is round and doesn't go all the way down. And they barely patented it like a week ago. This is pure trolling.
> If I wanted to end my life at such an old age there would absolutely nothing you or anyone else could say to change my mind. You stating your opinions as if they were facts would just make me want to speed up the process of ending it.

I would say exactly the same, anyways. Just don't do it and thank me later. Please do not rush to kill yourself faster because you want to punish somebody (in this case a stranger in internet, none less). I had seen people trying this treat trick before, and is ridiculous. I will (maybe) feel bad for a while. You will be dead forever. I win.

Don't expect me to push you by the cliff just to move any agenda one step further. The alternative is to start sharing your house with somebody that cares for you, solves part of your problems and makes your life less demanding. For rice's sake, how this can be worse than death?.
Maybe not; Zuse is mentioned a couple of paragraphs later, so it doesn't seem that Knuth is trying to pretend he didn't exist.
Like blibble says, this is an absurd tradeoff given that 7zip's primary use case is unarchiving files downloaded from the public internet. Between that, the willful ignorance and dismissiveness of security measures displayed https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/feature-requests/1270/, and the apparent need for you to keep pressuring him to enable each countermeasure one-by-one, I question the prudence of using 7zip at all. He is clearly a great developer, and I have no reason to suspect ulterior motives, but his actions don't engender trust.
Show HN: GDPR Shield – Block EU users from accessing your website
While I love the EU's new data privacy regulation from a user's perspective, it's a nightmare for businesses to achieve compliance, because of the (sometimes intentionally) vague language of the law. And even if you pay an experienced lawyer to draft the policies and procedures required by GDPR, there's a very real residual risk of predatory law firms collecting penalties from mass-mailed cease-and-desist letters based on technicalities. Even if your business isn't located within the EU, you are required to comply with GDPR because the location of the user matters.

I've built a tool that blocks users who are trying to access your website from within the EU as a short-cut to compliance, which makes sense if your business isn't reliant on EU users and you don't want to spend thousands in legal fees to achieve GDPR compliance.

You can check it out here: https://www.gdpr-shield.io

You are totally not right. 2000 new cases in a country of 53 million people is huge. Remember that brain cancer is nearly always fatal. Suppose it happens in the average age and the life expectancy is 80, so it cuts life expectancy by 40 years. If 2000 people per year contract it, it means 160K people overall, cutting their life expectancy by 40 years, meaning 6.4M person-years of lifetime cut. Or 1.5 months per person.

1.5 months of life is huge, this is only ~1 order of magnitude more than the smoking takes nationwide, and only a few times more than the drinking does. Probably more than any illegal drug does, taken separately.

So if this study is true, it will definitely put mobile phones among top 10 preventable causes of death.

Imagine we have solid evidence that cell phones, Bluetooth headphones, smart watches, etc are responsible for the rise in tumors.

I'm curious to know how people (and the industry) would react. We made these powerful communication tools that are connecting the world, that changed how we communicate and they are causing us harm?

Cigarettes were wonderful until they weren't. Oil was perfect until it became problematic for environmental reasons. Are cell phones the next thing on the list?
On the other hand, the population wasn't sustained. One or two generations of people on that island would still leave behind a good number of artifacts.

IMHO concern that the population wasn't large enough for multiple people to attempt the trick ignore the timescales involved. These events could span tens of thousands of years--longer than all of recorded history.

New antibiotics are high on the list of things that are needed, but they will only be used as treatment of last resort, this is where the traditional investment model fails. Development is too expensive to ever recover the outlays.

Right now science can't do anything about the high failure rates in Phase II and Phase III trials. The problem isn't to come up with a compound against your target of choice, it's that apart from clinical trials we don't have a way to predict if in real life it will perform better than placebo (Phase II) or adequately (Phase III).
You could also say that people don't have a right to like their job. Yet companies that want to hire and retain top talent try to make the workplace as enjoyable as possible. Can you explain why that is in a way that doesn't also justify tweaking the interview process to make candidates happier?
Of course it does. It's quoted and linked right at the beginning of the article :)

The best companies I’ve worked for establish a bit of a circadian rhythm around periods of collaboration and periods heads-down time. You need time for cross-pollination and free flow of conversation and ideas, but you also need contiguous time to execute and converge those ideas.

It’s best if the people you work along side all establish this same rhythm so you don’t have some people interrupting others who are in a heads-down period, or on the other token, people missing important meetings because they’re catching up on their work. It’s even better if these periods correspond with your sprint/development schedule as well.

We’ve started enforcing this at my current company by having a calendar bot that automatically deletes meetings on certain days if engineers are on the invite list. It was painful at first but everyone eventually got on the same rhythm and now I can actually get the time to complete my work.
Of course, but I would still strongly advise against this.

If you really cannot avoid implementing something like this, you should inspect the 7-Zip code in order to be 100% sure that the magic number detection in your filter is identical (or matches a superset) to the one from 7-Zip.

> It seems like the key to making medical progress is realizing that not all treatments are "one size fits all"

The medical community has realized this, and been tackling this problem for a few millennia. Hippocrates addressed the topic.

>and figuring out why treatments that are safe and effective for some people are unsafe for others.

That’s the hard part. It’s why we pay attention to how we construct patient recruitment, sample demographics, assess the metabolic pathways by which a drug is processed and study genetic variants in those pathways, develop biologics with different types of chimeric proteins, retrospectively analyze adverse events for patterns, etc.

Each and every one of those things that are standard elements of modern medicine and rational drug design are about understanding variability in drug response. We haven’t perfected this yet - nor are we close. Anyone who wishes to lend a brain cell is welcome.

Startup time has also been the biggest gripe I have with Julia so far. Otherwise it's a truly fantastic language to work in. I wasn't able to put the `__precompile__()` function to good use it seems - the time it takes to execute my program didn't change at all for some reason. Or maybe it's not actually the startup time that caused the problem, but the time it took to perform file IO. Anyways my program now takes even much longer time to startup than the Python equivalent (though it runs much faster once started), which is a real disappointment.

I think SO and pure documentation would serve two separate purposes. Sometimes documentation is better for something like an internal library API or related information. But on the other hand, sometimes having a an SO-like place where I can go look up a question related to a quick thing I'm trying to do would be useful. Say I don't remember the process to build the latest version of a Java package and upload it to an internal repository or something, it might be quicker to find a related quick Q&A type doc for that rather than digging into dense documentation on a variety of things.

Well the part that doesn't sit well with me is the suggestion of addiction in such a light flippant way. It should not be used for the general population just as a drug addiction isn't. We can empathize with true addicts but labeling the general population as such takes away personal responsibility in that people are not in control of their own behavior. That is the key difference in the point I'm making and the author. To prove my point, do you notice how quickly backlash came about to blame Facebook? People started leaving it and not using it. A true addict could not stop cold turkey so we mostly all have the ability to stop something when we do not have true addiction disorders.

This is the same argument around the existence of "God". It is not possible to prove God's nonexistence. Similarly, it's unlikely to be possible to prove God's existence and thus the debate continues.

On the nature of God, I read a theory that God is "truth", and thus any being that comprehends all truth is essentially God. In our human quest to gain knowledge of the truth of the universe, we have developed the ability to accomplish things that hundreds and thousands of years ago would have been considered God-like.

In 13.7 billion years of the existence of the universe, is it not possible that some entity was able to obtain sufficient knowledge of the truth of reality (laws of nature) to be indistinguishable from "God"?
That's not the argument they make. They argue that they will be associated with battery fires because of superficial resemblance of their exterior designs.
Actuaries go through something similar with the SOA exams. It seems to be effective but maybe actuarial science changes more slowly than computer science.
The population also increased by 13%. If nothing changed one would expect 1400 so its an excess mortality of 1600 that isn't borne out by the rest of the world.
