Text File Oriented Programming
Working with Shell Scripts and C programming from the background of a C++ and Java programmer, I've noticed the classic pre 1980s paradigm of record based design. Where instead of encapsulating objects with methods, a text file can hold a list of elements, where each row entry contains columns of attributes. I know older OOP languages like Smalltalk have introduced the idea of message passing. I also realize Text File oriented programming isn't an established term, but I've come across the pattern too many times to see it as something under looked in our modern OOP world. Has anyone else come across this or similar designs, and if so, what are more proper terms?
#1 brings to mind a James Gleick tweet I saw this morning that struck a chord:

>They haven't been addressed, but then again they exist in `dep` as well and most other package managers, just in different forms.

The whole premise of the blog post is that vgo has additional failure modes that other ones do not. Right at the top, the first item in the list of "what this post covers" is:

>MVS has all the same failure modes, plus more, minus pathological SAT.
I think I'd resolve it by saying that any bookings made in a timezone that has changed its definition will be cancelled if the new definition causes the booking to conflict with another (including the case where two or more timezones have changed simultaneously: all involved bookings attached to changing timezones are cancelled).

"The timezone you have used to define this booking has been altered, and the booking cannot be updated due to unavailability of the resource XXXX. Please choose a new time for this booking."
yes, China surpass US in a new sphere. When would those comparisons stop ??
Elon Musk’s Unusual Compensation Plan Isn’t Really About Compensation at All
The purpose of the appraisal is to determine the loan-to-value ratio. As long as the appraisal is at least the required number, they're fine. The appraiser is basically saying, "in my opinion the property is worth at least $X.” Not that it might be not be worth more.
Various enterprisy things that tie in with Office in some way, shape, or fashion. The biggest one being the Skype for Business server SDK, which is some kind of bastard red-haired step-child, receiving only the most token updates since 2010, yet is massively important for doing anything productive that isn't supported out-of-the-box with their enterprise unified communications platform.
That's not necessarily a disproof - if opioids are killing people who are disproportionately young, then they could have an outsize effect on life expectancy. Say life expectancy is 79 years. If a new cause of death occurs that affects 10% of the population and kills, on average, at age 78, then life expectancy goes down to 78.9. If a new cause of death occurs that affects 10% of the population and kills at age 29, then life expectancy goes down to 74. Same reason that infant mortality had a disproportionate affect on life expectancy: the numbers of deaths might be small, but the reduction in lifespan is large.

Personally I would bet on obesity being a bigger contributor to declining lifespans than opioids, but I'm just showing that raw numbers of deaths cannot automatically disprove the hypothesis that a decline in lifespan is due to opioids.
Nobody uses the official reddit apps. I've been using third party reddit apps (which are amazing) since 2010 (Galaxy S1).

So it's fine that one of the government's responsibilities is to track each citizens social score, instead of it being implicit in the judgement's of a person's peer-group?

Yes we all play some kind of "status" or "reputation" game, but the difference is that we can determine ourselves what is socially right by finding the right audience. In China's case, your only choice of audience is the government. You are forced to play instead of being a willing participant in your relevant social stratum.
Agreed. The dialect is structurally skewed. I commented in more detail a while ago:

I can definitely see where credibility is of importance. You point to a great example. What is nice about Reddit is that you do have that option to remember names so that you can do exactly what you describe. Sometimes, subreddits will also take care of that with verified flairs, or alternatively, the user can go out of their way and use RES to make note of users they trust.
More surprising is that yahoo is #7! I might be out of touch but I can’t think of a single person that uses yahoo, maybe it might be the default homepage on my grandmas computer...
My SAT score doesn’t dictate if I can board an airplane. My credit score doesn’t affect me getting a passport. Comparing China’s social credit system to US records is completely off base.

That doesn't seem nearly obvious enough to take that tone without at least a little explanation.
MTBF is what you need to take a look at for a mechanical system, if you are concerned about service intervals (in a HA cluster style setup, where you can handle fixing after break down, without downtime), and for e.g. continuous operation of optical disc and magnetic tape drives, as those wear out over time (though even laptop BD-R drives reach 1 year active spindle MTBF). There is determines how often you have to go to the system and swap faulty drives, to have at least x% working, and over how much time you can budget the CAPEX.

Of course this breaks down at an MTBF of over 50 years, as thosre rarely mention exotic failure modes, and don't actually have an MTBF of 50+ years over the life, but an annualized failure rate corresponding to 50+ years MTBF, measured over the first couple of years or even the first year.
For non-wet-electrolytic-capacitor-using computing, one can calculate a temperature-dependent MTBF in the 5-25 years range, mostly depending on how bad the chips are hit by electromigration and similar aging in the semiconductors.
This is incidentally a reason why I miss clock speeds for different processors as reported by overclockers to at least in some cases extrapolate the life due to electromigration, as there is a formula with like iirc 2 parameters, which gives a temperature (and maybe voltage) dependent lifetime/MTBF for this semiconductor device.
I'd likely sttrive for about 5 years MTBF on the processor, if speed is of concern and reliability/uptime not in the foreground.
Uh, no? People who know you or the person associated may judge you negatively, but the US government will not penalize you and affect which public services you can use.

It's a tremendous difference...
I often use reddit as a search engine for answers with a "human touch" for lack of a better word. I once did this with del.icio.us back in the "social bookmarking" days. I'm curious if this is a big use case for Reddit users do this too?

Maybe not based on the low quality of their search engine...
My personal prediction is that audit in its current form will cease to exist within the next 10 years. Already at Big Four firms, there is a shift towards risk management, especially when more and more clients are adopting technology to manage all of their financials. What used to take many hours/days for auditors to manually reconcile and "audit", now can be automated using technology and instead, the focus will be on assessing risk and controls that are in place in those technology solutions. This is evident by current downward trend of audit revenue (even in Big Four) and an increase in revenue coming from Risk Advisory service lines instead.
My analysis long ago was that for this case, the equilibrium mixed strategy with three players was a random choice with uniform probability everywhere within the interval from 1/4 to 3/4 and no probability in the segments at each end. This means that for the people at the ends of the beach, the competitive solution with 3 vendors is not as good as the centrally planned solution with 2 vendors, but for those in the middle of the beach it is very likely to be much better. This lines up with the conclusion for the 2 vendor case that Hotelling found: competition with few vendors for somewhat differentiated products will favor consumers with average preferences.
I don't think that's safe to assume at all. A lot of phone users (think mostly older people) still don't really know what an app store is. I don't have any numbers, but from seeing how 'ordinary' people use their phones, I wouldn't make any assumptions about preferring apps.

As for facebook's priorities - they could surely also be neglecting the mobile site with the aim of getting people to install and use their app. Again, I don't know if this is the case, but it's certainly plausible.
Pseudonymity makes this possible. Users don't post selfies on Reddit, nor their names, nor do they friend people (though you can follow users). On FB users fear for their privacy, and users fear moralizers.
Actually we don’t. The individual mandate was repealed.
Probably an article's involving the USA increases its perceived on-topicness. Although a large majority of people on here aren't from or in the USA, 'Americans' on here often talk as if it's a 99.5% US discussion taking place on US soil.
That's a library that simulates some parts of async/await using generators, it's not what GP was talking about.
that seems to be the whole core of those discussions - statistics, as a science, operates only with correlations and has nothing to do with causation. As long as one stays inside the domain of statistics, one can never say whether something is causation or not. Causation is subject matter of other sciences which study specific machinery of various causations.
That matches the observed life expectancy numbers in the article - U.S. life expectancy decreased from 79 years to 78.5 years.

I was hired by an acquired Watson Health division a little over a year ago, and after seeing the very confusing story of how IBM expects to grow and strengthen these disparate companies, I'm not surprised. I'm also saddened that some of my former colleagues were among those laid off.

It's fine if a business judges you on all the information they can get; for example, in hiring new employees, etc.

But the government is not an institution that should be rewarding or penalizing behavior that is within the bounds of law. Obviously, you get -10000 points let's say if you commit a felony in the US. But you don't get +5xp for praising the government or being a good neighbor, or -5xp for being rude to a waiter or something. That's like, a few orders of magnitude of closer government behavioral management.
When done right, it is quite enlightening.
Are you married? Seems you have plenty of time.
With fines as a revenue source it's also in the state's interest to find violations that may not exist. You can't assume that just because it's the government that it's on the up-and-up. People are corruptible, regardless of who their employer is.
I am a grad student and writing and maintaining a blog has done me wonders over the years. So:

1. "I'd like to write to help understand how deep my understanding of the subject" -- You need to find the frequency you need to tune in so that your readers find you interesting. Things that require a deep understanding might not make a good story and appeal to the mass, and vice versa.

What I learned is that despite me doing an advanced degree, I only know very little that others don't: https://twitter.com/lolmythesis

To me, when I blog, I tell a story. When I write a paper, I tell how deep my understanding is on that subject. My knowledge of the subject matter is just a catalyst, not the cause, for me to tell my story.

Don't be shy about what you know, but I think the idea is you shouldn't assume that your readers are dumber than you unless you're Peter Norvig. But there are angles that you see things that are interesting to others.

2. No person I know or follow ever publish their homework to their blog and be successful. You need to add a whole narrative on top of that to be interesting, so I doubt anyone will have a problem with it. If you're worried about the legality, you're counting the eggs before they hatch.
I want writing streak to be a simple tool that does one thing very well, so I tried to avoid adding a lot of extra functionality.

I have built a project that I think you might find interesting: https://fictionhub.io/

It's a writing community where you can post stories, share and receive feedback, etc.

The idea of making it centered specifically around the daily writing exercises, prompts, etc is interesting. I might be able to use the fiction hub platform to make something like that, I'll need to think about it.

An interesting example might be WaPo, with Jeff Bezos literally being the owner of a major publication. Are there any examples of biased/helpful coverage? Curious how much the ownership affects the editorial angle.
Even the simplest three way games have perplexing strategies. Consider splitting one dollar three ways by majority vote. The obvious strategy is for player A and player B to agree to 50-50 and leave out C. Of course, C offers A a better 60-40 split to ditch B. Then B offers A a 70-30 split. Etc.

Washington Post recent headline: "Fueled by drug crisis, U.S. life expectancy declines for a second straight year"

Ok, I think I understand now. The layers are:

reality -> accounting books -> financial statements

The auditors don't look at the first mapping "reality -> accounting books" but only at the second one "accounting books -> financial statements"?

And even in the second mapping, they check with a sampling-based approach?
I wonder if Facebook happens to know people's Reddit ids through some nefarious data collection scheme.
The big difference is that in the west, the public is the judge of your social standing... NOT the government. The government is an institution of power. Imagine the IRS targeting people with a low social points level because they might be more likely to cheat on their taxes. People should be able to say whatever they want and be judged by the public, but not parented by the government.
Grant Thornton, BDO, and RSM are the next step down. There are a few other international firms and then there are a large number of international alliances.

The second tier firms operate very similarly to the Big 4 but are an order of magnitude smaller. They'll do audit work for public companies, just not very big ones. Or they'll do pieces of work for bigger firms. But companies can still be public with revenues of only a few hundred million and they'll be far more price sensitive than Google or Goldman.

Just like in cloud computing or AI scale has serious advantages for accounting firms and it is difficult and expensive to try to make the jump to the top tier. Better to stay in your target market in terms of client size, geography, and what price you charge, than to try to drastically change your business. Far too likely to lose your existing business and not succeed in the new one.
Yeah this basically never happens.

I worked at a Big 4 firm almost 10 years ago and I remember the rules being so strict that our firm had to choose if consulting or audit engagements were more valuable to a particular firm because they could only choose one. Also, when you hit Manager level at a firm, you would have to enter all of your public stock holdings into a system so they could make sure you don’t get stuck on a project with a client where you hold your stock. On top of all that there was very extensive annual compliance certification every year that everybody at all levels had to complete.

The Big 4 doesn’t joke around with this stuff. If an employee or partner went anywhere near the conflict of interest you suggested, they’d promptly be shown the door and probably face other repercussions.
The CA State Assembly still has to vote on this. But California state laws and regulations can have a nationwide impact.

I agree. You wouldn't net all that much, as diamonds give really poor RoI (unless you're in the >~ 3 ct range). And divorces are expensive. Plus, if you have a daughter and she can use your wife's wedding ring in her ceremony, you'll enjoy a goodwill factor big enough to cause emotional buffer overflow.
I liked reading this blog post and found it interesting as this is something I'm looking to do eventually.

Also, is it only me that have such a boring life? or normal people don't have that issue to have too many emails/notifications to respond to? How many people contact you, seriously?

But I have a mini-rant about all those blog-posts with subjects such as "Why I decided to quit Google", or "Why I'm leaving for a startup after being a boss at Facebook for X years".

Those blog post usually always reiterate that the "Smartest people in the world" work at those companies and that it is the "Best job in the world". Sometimes a little bit less arrogance and namedropping would be a good thing.
It is a fairly common way to show the opposite (or near opposite) opinion has a weight of its own. It works best when the the original comment is extreme and definitive. It is also not a half bad way to do a self critique of what you are writing to see if you are pushing (although, I must admit when I'm pushing I'm probably not in the mood for self critique :( )
I disagree too. I think that humor should be allowed on hacker news. I mean as long as the jokes aren't at the expense of the ideology of the majority of hacker news's users. In that case, that humor should be downvoted and removed.

Theranos was extremely successful at fleecing VCs and embarrassing political board members.

It's a good thing that it got so far, because it proves just how bad VCs are at evaluating successful companies and how much of the funding game is who you know.
