I have talked to CEO's of ad companies. They use to try and prove how much ROI their adds where. What they found was their large clients didnt want to know. An exec at a large firm would be given a huge add spend budget, and they got that no matter what. Getting numbers that their add spend didnt work would = budget cuts, but a fancy power point presentation with an arrow pointing up so long as sales are good doesnt get questioned.

What did the add companies have to say about mobile? most of the time, if something gets clicked, its because they were intoxicated and accidentally did so.
We run into similar challenges of scale and experience in humanitarian/aid work. It's easy to be overwhelmed by the numbers of suffering people when the primary dimension of representing them is something like "food consumption." Stats are vital for the logistics of meeting acute needs, but they erase (abstract out) the rich dynamics of human life.

You might think photos would help, but the endless stream of images of "starving people" ends up being cumulative, compounding the matter.

Projects that systematically dig into the lived experience of beneficiaries and treat them as complex social beings start to bridge that gap. They not only dignify the people involved (providers and beneficiaries both), but also often discover systemic issues that "the numbers" would never reveal.

I wonder what conversations the author had with people who lived there (genuine question, not a criticism).

Exactly. The user needs to control the data, the vendor can request access to specific elements for their app (for you to use) to which you grant them access via API ... the user controlled tools need to be created though. Or do they exist now?

It updates live and throttles way back when the page doesn't have focus.)

Unfortunately it seems so far that voters in California are reacting to the problem by supporting more of the policies that caused the problem in the first place, e.g. rent control, opposing new market-rate housing, etc. It's pretty easy for politicians to sell those bad solutions, which is why we ended up with them in the first place.

I doubt the YIMBY movement is going to solve the problem, because they have alienated many lower-income voters.

Well, the general take is that average intelligence combined with well-above-average drive (motivation, work ethic, etc.) has significantly better results than "smart but lazy". So you'd expect someone who's smart and also fanatical about something to get outstanding results in that field. Monomania also generally comes across as 'mad'.
Look at Canada (Vancouver and Toronto specifically) for a glimpse of how bad it can get if anti-development urban policies combined with pro-home-inflation monetary and banking policies are allowed to run unchecked. The prices are even more insane than San Francisco / Silicon Valley when considered as a multiple of median income.

It's really kind of incredible. These prices seem economically impossible, yet there they are and houses are apparently selling. It seems like there actually is no ceiling to house prices. A lot of people blame cash buyers from overseas using real estate as a financial instrument but I have yet to see hard evidence that this is prevalent enough to explain this madness.

An anecdote I often share is that we had a hotshit performance programmer who often enclosed his simple C versions of the code with:

The punchline was defining this macro and getting the C version usually improved performance over the giant festival of overly-Pentium-4-focused inline asm.

How so?
I don't disagree -- I wrote as much in my own post. The site is okay once I've unsubscribed from virtually everything it throws at you by default and instead subscribed to a heavily curated selection of subreddits that I found over the years.

Even then, though, subreddits that used to be great have often degraded significantly -- in many cases simply by getting too big. Perhaps that's the primary difficulty. Even some "niche" subreddits often now have 100k+ users. The site is just so much bigger and more active than it was when I first started using it that it's very difficult to capture what it used to feel like, even with extensive subreddit curation and filtering.

This is why it's important to use job scheduler software, admined by a NOC, to generate your own internal reminder emails set for a specific date and time in the future. The process of renewing a domain or buying anything that requires renewal should include a step to create the future reminder job.

This is vastly more powerful than you need to simply call a shell script which generates SMTP email to your noc@companyname.com address, but can serve the purpose:

Secrets are kept tight for any company with any tech relating to the latest nodes <10nm. It just so happens that IBM has been working on sub-10nm processes for a long time, so they have a lot of secrets to keep, hence I am not surprised by the article heading.

Yeah, but software can be mismanaged.

Perhaps a solution would be a combination of the two. E.g. dongle converts USB protocol to (say) XYZ protocol, and software converts from XYZ protocol to readable filesystem.

You do need USB. You still have to plug the Android phone into the PC every time unfortunately - then you can enable wireless debugging and disconnect the cable for that session.

Fair enough, rant preemptively avoided.
Whenever you have an energy use figure over a specific period, it is perfectly legitimate to calculate the average power, just as if it took you 30 min to reach your grandmother's house, which is 60 miles away, then you averaged 120 mph. In this case, an average power is an appropriate measure, as we do not know how long this page will be in service.

There are actually a few different parts to the code, and they work somewhat independently.

The first is to classify each byte by type, using the highest 4-5 bits. The types are:

ASCII

continuation

initial byte of:

2

3

4-byte sequence

Given these types, the multibyte sequences are checked for proper lengths, ie each length indicator has to be followed by that exact number of continuation bytes until the next non-continuation. We do this by putting the following byte count where each initial is found, zeroing the rest, and carrying counts right with shift-and-subtract, saturated to 0. This just creates a descending sequence after each initial, eg 4 -> 3,2,1, which should reach zero right at the next initial or "first" byte (ascii or multi). The vector of nonzero following bytes xored with the vector of first bytes should then be all 1's, ie there should be no gaps or overlaps.

The next task is to check for overlongs. These are just bitfields in the first or second bytes which should be nonzero, and they can be checked at least two ways. One is masking and checking for any nonzero bits, based on a lookup table of masks. Another is comparison, based on the idea that any 1 bits in the bitfield of interest will make the byte larger than all 0's (the higher-order bits are fixed). Both of these methods assign checks on a per-length basis, using a lookup table from the highest 4 bits. Longer sequences also check the second byte in similar fashion.

In the end we basically have bitmaps of each type, and we check that they don't intersect and that their union covers the range. The code is a bit complicated by carrying over the previous range so that sequences that span registers will still get checked.

Right. I personally think the coolest thing about duplex is the end-to-end synthesis of natural speech. The actual call isn't as impressive to me because that's just handed coded stuff. IBM Watson has already had success in this regard.
Nearly all of the most profitable Internet companies are platforms:

* eBay is a platform for sellers to connect with buyers

* Many think that Amazon is a online retailer, but it's not; it's a platform. A huge percentage of the items sold on Amazon are owned by small businesses who are leveraging Amazon's platform (website, warehouses, logistics, delivery.) If eBay had been more ambitious, eBay could've replicated what Amazon has done.

* Facebook is a platform for people to connect with other people

* even Google is a platform; it's basically taken the entire Internet and added ads to it. The Internet itself is Google's content, and that content was created by other people

And that's why MoviePass is doomed. If MoviePass had become a platform where movie theaters could unload excess inventory, then it could succeed, but the current model is simply selling movie tickets at a loss.
Why not just close the issue and direct the person to stackoverflow, superuser, etc. if you think it falls into that category?

>Life has no inherent value that makes me consider it worth spreading.

This is probably not true, given that you seem to value your own life. (It also runs afoul of failing to meaningfully designate what makes value 'inherent' or not, or why this is a feature of value you should care about in the first place.)

But the main flaw in your philosophical argument is that it presumes a particular form of 'self-identity' that just happens to exclude future people. But you are not special. A great number of things that are true of you are true of others, and if you can value your own life, you can value others'.

Which means, circumstantially, that any benefit you find for yourself is practically destined to be a benefit for someone else, and more importantly, vice versa. Whatever you want out of your own life is best achieved by figuring out how to create it in arbitrary life, or at least, as generally as possible. At the very least, you have a rational argument that you can distribute needed workload better.

EDIT: You might be thinking "if I'm dead, who cares", but this is just another identity problem. There could very well be a future person who is born with your exact brain, and you've got no reason to think such a person isn't also you. In reality, most of us are mostly like you.
The difference is that people use most software for a combination of reasons that don't usually impact the game industry.

The first reason is that the programs often help them complete important tasks. Some of them couldn't be accomplished otherwise. The second is that there are lots of industry standard apps that aren't even that good, but its the standard that everyone uses so everyone keeps using it. There are lots of other reasons but these are the ones that immediately come to mind.

If people don't enjoy playing a game, they aren't going to play it.

I'm 24 and quit my tech job in November to become a ski instructor.
It was the season of a lifetime for sure, not just hedonistically, but holistically.
Stepping out of the "working world" gives you perspective on what really matters to you and how you want to organize your life.
When you are skiing everyday, you realize that you really don't need a whole lot to live on the day to day. You make friends because you share an intense common interest with everyone in town. You see the lifestyles of people outside the tech bubble and that inevitably causes self-reflection.

It won't hurt your career and I've had no problem in a few interviews explain why I went and what I learned.

They think the YIMBYs are dismissing their concerns about gentrification and displacement. I'm not sure that's true, but either way, the YIMBY movement's image is of a bunch of affluent white tech workers who don't care about low-income, minority residents whose neighborhoods might get gentrified. That image will need to change if the YIMBYs want to succeed.
Overall I agree with you. I agree that for me net neutrality is not that important. But in a nation with as much voter apathy, with the growing sense of voting being futile I’ll take a single issue voter that gets galvanized. If everyone were a single issue voter it’d be a mess. With a few people not so much.
The tooling makes up for it -- VSCode, for example. Click to definition, right out of the box. The number of options is too numerous to be listed here. Modern Javascript is as much about the tools as it is about the language, as the writer points out.

As much as I like to joke that the greatest artists were all deeply flawed people, so I'm trying to become an alcoholic arsehole in order to become a better author, as the article states, there are a lot of good and great artists/creatives who are not substance abusing wife beaters.

I think there are a couple of factors at play here. The first is that you never hear about how normal an artist was. Nobody talks about how Ansel Adams didn't beat his wife and wasn't an alcoholic, because that's just normal. We only talk about Hemingway's alcoholism, or Van Gogh's mental condition. So we're conditioned to believe that artists are flawed people.

The second factor is that people want to justify why they're not a great artist. "I'm not a great writer, but at least I don't emotionally abuse everyone I know and I'm not a raging alcoholic".
