I think this is a little different. It's not the whole methodology that's the problem. It's the non-standard bin-sizes. If he wants to do log or exponential sizes, then it's 90.1, 9, .9 or you could round it off to 90, 9, and 1. By making it 90, 9.9 and .1, then he's artificially inflated the middle bin size while simultaneously exclaiming that this bin has more wealth in it than expected.

It's like having a y-axis on a graph that reads: 10 100 5000 10000 (with equally spaced points) and then talking about how there's more action between 100 and 5000 than there is between 5000 and 10000.
One problem with making misinformation a bannable offense on Twitter is that they'd have to ban so many mainstream journalists.

I'm probably right in the middle on the introvert/extrovert scale, so it's been mostly nice, but how isolated I'll feel will depend on the org I'm working in. More video with more people? More 1 on 1s with other remote folks? That's been great for me. But when I'm one of the only remote people, and everyone else is in the office, it ain't great.

Remote work has also made me really value the coffee shop as a place to meet friends, meet up with friends, and be around the noise of people being people.

Edit: it's also worth noting that I don't think remote has changed how I'm social. It's just been a different social setting, and I'm happy to say I'm mostly able to adapt to it. It needn't be isolating, and it can open up energy for you to be more social in other parts of your life.

I worked remotely for a year, from home and a couple of coffee shops. It certainly made me a calmer person, and keeping myself away from mundane office conversations (and mundane tasks) refreshed my senses and added to my happiness. I lived alone in a flat in a nice part of London and regularly visited the gym and played tennis, which provided enough social interaction for me, in addition to a few weddings and birthdays dotted throughout the year. I built https://usebx.com during this year, with the help of a couple of contractors, who also worked remotely. I now do have an office, but still work remotely most days, and encourage my employees to do the same. I'll only go into the office if a client wants to visit. The set up works rather well. The one thing I struggled with initially was routine - I could easily code till 5am, and sleep till 2pm, then not be able to get into a good sleep, work or social routine for a week. Now I force myself to finish at a reasonable time so that I can be continually productive over time, not just productive for that one day, while enjoying other aspects of life as well.
I left a corporate consulting career because I was burned out and started writing iOS apps from home. 5 years later the app business has been very successful for me but it has been the loneliest thing I have ever done. I use co-working environments when I can but generally people keep their head down in these too. I do relish the chance to interact socially with people now and I appreciate how valuable it is these days. This is the main reason I am probably done with apps, I'm looking for a more interactive role now.
In situations where you have no choice, I agree. This has long been an issue with credit card payments too. But IMHO, the government could fix this by simply having their own payment mechanism. I mean, every store has their own rewards card, why can I just buy a parking card for the whole city that I top-off once in a while and just at the meters?
Yes this is in the US. The school district owned one pool. A few years of your 12 years in the school district system, students would get a week or two of lessons during gym class (being bused to the pool from the other schools in the district, when necessary.) About an hour of lessons 2-3 times a week for one or two weeks, a handful of times in twelve years. On second thought 20 hours may have been an underestimate, but not by much.

That same pool is also where private swimming lessons for all ages were available for a modest fee (that program was subsidized by the pool's existence but otherwise self-funding. I worked as an instructor in that program for a few years and got a modest paycheck for it.) That pool was also use for practice and meets for the swim club (competitive swimming for young children) and the swim team (competitive swimming for teenagers.) Private lessons were mostly attended by young children, their parents stopped paying for it once they were reasonably confident their child wouldn't drown and it was very rare for anybody as old as a teenager to take those lessons. The pool was also open to the public once or twice a week for a dollar or two and there was a lane set aside for lap swimming, but it was rarely used.

I'm not sure what the bottleneck was that prevented more school-hour swimming lessons during their scheduled gym classes. It may have been the busing requirement, since there were a handful of elementary schools in the district that were not close to the school building that had the pool.
Exactly.

This is basically the argument Comcast uses to justify their de facto monopoly. In Comcast's case, their "competition" doesn't even exist on the same scale (which is hardly competition).

27 single male, been working remotely for around 3 years. I would say it affected me slightly at first. I realized after leaving my office job that a fair amount of my social interaction was off-the-cuff activities with coworkers. Which I obviously wouldn't be around for anymore.

I basically had to learn to take more initiative when it came to arranging to hang out with people. I did and things have been going great since.

With remote work you definitely have the opportunity to isolate yourself on accident. So you have to been conscious of that and take action when you notice it.

I live alone now. But in the beginning of my remote career I had roommates. Roommates, who are actually your friends, are a great way of avoiding social isolation in the remote setting. And if they all have office jobs, you get the house to yourself all day!
When taken in the context of programming in Haskell, category theory is not really that important IMHO. Yes, the words are strange, but once you know what they mean, they are just words. For example (again, in the context of programming) a functor is just a collection with a function that removes the contents out of the collection, transforms it (into anything) and puts it back into the collection. A monoid is just a functor (ie collection) that can hold zero or more values. A monad is monoid (collection that can hold zero or more values) with a function that takes the contents out of the collection, transforms it into something of the same type and puts it back into the collection.

Category theory is really just useful because it shows you the building blocks. Some functors are not able to be used as monads. It's useful to have some intuition as to why. Even some things like applicative (a functor with a function in which you can successively apply multiple parameters) pop out and give you some useful insight (non-applicative functors can't be monads -- it's not obvious why until you try to implement it).

There is value in this organisation. The words are not fantastic, but again, they are just words.

I believe the branch target buffer on modern x86 hardware predicts and preloads indirect calls too. This analysis claims that Core 2 and later chips predict indirect branches quite well: http://www.agner.org/optimize/microarchitecture.pdf
9.9 is the top ten percent minus the .1 percent - he agrees the .1% are a problem, but wants to address his own class, the rest of the top 10% = 9.9%. That bin has the size it has, and the measured effects he points to presumably deduct the stats for the .1%. There's no trickery, just a stat or two to conjure with.

If you think he's skewed the measure by using mean instead of median or mode and not subtracting the contributions of the .1% that's an interesting argument but you have to make it - show evidence of that, plus make the calculation to demonstrate that the effect is large. If that's the argument I might suggest dropping "bin size" and employing the term "skew."

> Finding qualified programmers and having access to libraries so you don't reinvent the wheel.

Lots of niche languages have the same problem, notably lisp, but it doesn't do to say they aren't popular for those reasons. It's circular reasoning. Languages get those things by being popular. They get popular by having those things.

Every current "popular" language with good libraries and a large userbase started with no popularity, no libraries, and no users. They built these things over time.

The problem is these languages can't create a robust community. They are powerful, so people don't need large teams to do what they want. They are different, so it is a bigger investment to understand them. The combination means they attract the kind of elitists who are not willing to help newcomers or write basic libraries, the kind of people who are perfectly capable of reinventing every wheel and doing it better than last time.

No one teaches these languages. How popular could they get if companies and universities spent millions of hours collectively drilling even the most marginal programmer on how to use them like they do for C++ and Java?

They would never do it though. Large companies don't want more powerful languages. They will take the productivity loss for fungible employees. It's part ego. Middle managers look much more important if they have 20 programmers write 1,000,000 lines of code over 5 years than two programmers write 10,000 over six months even if functionality is equivalent. It's part bargaining and risk. If you only have a few programmers, the individual programmer is worth a lot more. It is also riskier to employ one because she could leave or get hit by a bus at any time.

> Sure it does. Facebook relies on the concept of peer pressure and people's desire for a sense of belonging to continue to monetize its product.

Every single social network relies on this concept; the way it’s monetized is independant of that.
Working remote causes you to trust people based on results not on spec. This can impact your interactions when you expect things like followthrough, consistency, demonstration of commitment, attentiveness to your communications, being on-task, and work quality where these things work a bit differently IRL and you are more prone to be exposed to intermediate work products rather than incremental or final.
>"The requirements for the Swimming Merit Badge aren't all that much better, though."

As I recall the "lifesaving" merit badge at least requires 400 yards without stopping, which is a lot more reasonable. If it were up to me that'd be the standard swimming test, but I suppose they want an accessible "skill ramp".

> handle most request data by stack allocation/deallocation

I just write crappy code for microcontrollers. Over 30 years I've seen the amount of ram available for stack grow. From maybe 20-30 bytes to a couple of k. That said it appears to me that stack allocation is severely under utilized for historical reasons. The idea that stack space is a precious resource. Which doesn't fly on machines with 10's of gigabytes of memory.

Think programs that put vast quantities of ephemeral objects and short strings on the heap. Using call tree analysis would allow you to put a lot of that on the stack resulting is much better performance and bounded latency.

In the context of the article "drowning doesn't look like drowning". Drowning a week after you have been submerged in water doesn't "look like drowning". The definition may not be medically accepted but the concept is well documented.

From the original article.

Dry drowning occurs when, after being submerged in water, a person's vocal cords experience a spasm and close, making it difficult to breathe, said Dr. Mike Patrick, an emergency-medicine physician at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, who was not involved in the boy's care. When this happens, the body's response is to send fluid to the lungs to try to open up the vocal cords. But this can lead to excess fluid in the lungs — a condition called pulmonary edema. Symptoms of dry drowning usually start within an hour after a person is submerged in water, Patrick said.
What's wrong with them having preference for people of a similar race? What's wrong for looking at the source countries of many of these immigrants and saying no thanks? No one's in a hurry to make sure lots of whites have positions in Mexico or China.

Well history suggests some answers to that question, even ignoring the ethical dimensions. If you choose to ignore almost all of those answers and the ethics in favor of purely selfish arguments, then realize that eventually people who look like you will be on the losing side of this equation.

I am not the demographic you are looking for answers from, but I will note that if you are introverted or socially challenged in some way, being removed from 40+ hours per week of social friction at the office can actually improve your ability to connect socially at times and places when you want that to happen because your internal quota for social stuff was not long ago used up and burned to the ground, making yet one more conversation start with getting on your very last nerve and go downhill from there.
Sheet music contains instructions for making human musicians behave a certain way. There is no sense in which it's a complete description of a musical performance. Timing variations and dynamics are all controlled by the player.

If the score is figured bass, the player will improvise/create a complete accompaniment from a sketch of the bass line and some hints about the harmony.

And it's not necessarily unchanged. The layout of a piano score and a transposed brass line are only distantly related. The notation will be common, more or less, with the limitation that a horn line is monophonic while a piano can play chords.

But the key won't be the same, which means the pitches won't be the same. And many of the expressive markings will be different too.

When I worked remotely I had a better social life. I don't enjoy a lot of the communications at a typical office and I find them very draining so I don't do much in the evening or over the weekend. While I worked remotely I was alone during the day but I had energy and interest in meeting people in the evening.
You could have an initial code segment which generates the dynamic mappings and then performs a system call.

The system call would map in a new non-shared page which the kernel has dynamically generated from the supplied mappings. The user-land never sees the page as writable, only as executable, the kernel generates only jump instructions, and limits this behaviour to specific pages determined when the executable is loaded.
I have a great spouse with three wonderful kids. I enjoy alone time but the isolation should be taken very seriously. The days will be reduced to animated emojis and clever gifs. And the days blend together.

Socializing becomes this activity that you have to be proactive for otherwise you’ll find yourself in some dark places asking a therapist how you arrived at this low point.
That's exactly how I feel. My "internal quota for social stuff" gets used up by the office so there is nothing left in my free time.
Yes, a statically-linked binary will have all internal references resolved by the linker. If PIE is disabled, the addresses will all be fixed, which makes exploiting such a binary much easier. Glibc has only just added support for static PIE executables (in Feb of this year), and I'm not sure what the implementation is - whether it relocates all the references in the binary (increased memory usage), or uses a PLT/GOT approach to support relocations (increased runtime overhead).
Why you need to improve your training data, and how to do it

So, I’ve programmed in Haskell and Clojure and I really wish people would give over on the Haskell requires category theory meme.

What Haskell offers is _generalisation of abstraction_. So, the function that satisfies the behaviour of fnil is called fmap, but it’s also the function that maps a function over all the values of a list, or the return values of a function. Equally, the equivalent of some->> (do notation) works for all of the above and more.

None of this requires you to know what a Kliesi category is.

These three paragraphs are unintentionally enigmatic and emblematic! Literally, the only thing I understood in the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs was, "What Haskell offers is generalization of abstraction." It's as if some large fraction of the Haskell community is significantly lacking self-awareness of how its own PR comes across. Been there and done that, just with Objects.

EDIT: Which is to say, A community that engages in such lack of self-awareness is dooming itself to hipster obscurity.
That's what full Relocation Read-Only essentially does, right? You pay for this by having to bind all addresses at startup time rather than lazily as they're needed.
