I just dropped firebase after nearly a month of development. Firestore lacks so many features that i consider basic. For example you can't even do a count query on the db and have jump hoops to even achieve this simple feature.

In core routers and switches, CPU is the slow path.

Brunt of the work is done in ASICs.
No change from when Go was released AFAIK: Go has no reliability/failover story (whether locally or in terms of distribution), uncaught panics will bring down the entire system, and the runtime has no support for routine hierarchies.

So I guess you'd choose Go if you want to build a local service — especially if it has some amount of concurrency (e.g. network daemons) — or CLI tools (fast startup). You'd use erlang if you want to build a system which really should not die, especially if it so should not die that you're willing to spread it over multiple physical machines.
Insecurity (partially) explains obesity, because body fat is an evolutionary adaptation to insecure food supplies. Our parents and grandparents were raised to eat what they were given and clear their plates. That's evolutionarily rational if you aren't sure where your next meal is coming from - food will spoil, but body fat will keep you alive through a famine.

Shaking off that habit is much easier if you never worry about whether you'll go hungry tomorrow; a lot of poor people don't have that luxury. If you're just scraping by, an unexpected bill or a parking ticket might force you to choose between a payday loan or an empty refrigerator. Combine economic insecurity with a food market full of cheap, high-calorie foods and you've got a recipe for nutritional disaster.

We're right to think that capitalism has created tremendous abundance, but we often under-estimate the pathological effects of insecurity. Without a sound safety net, the human brain just isn't capable of prudent long-term planning.
A lot of people will pay extra to avoid the typical used-car bullshit process, when buying... Shady dealers where you spend 2.5 hours haggling, encountering a $295 "documentation fee" you need to threaten to walk away to get removed, etc.
Yes and no. Full of dairy protein, but not essentially skim milk powder.

Skim milk powder is mostly casein, a protein that is comparatively slow to absorb (and which, along with the high level of lactose, can mess with those sensitive to dairy).

Whey protein concentrate/isolate is the 'other' kind of protein found in milk, doesn't tend to bother people as much, and is absorbed faster. Concentrate/isolate has lactose, too.

Agreed. But it's not. Instead we get Stormy Daniels, the royal wedding, etc. It's easy to point at DJT but he's merely a mirror. Like it or not, he represents the real America. The one that's been there all along. The one that's been glossed over by incompetent journalism and "news" organization.

Note: I'm not saying all. Only that the segment of the population what's been hiding in plain sight is not longer being ignored.
I think the comparison with actors is a valid one and we can draw parallels with the YouTube “creator movement” basically actors/performers who are too smart to fight the herd and went out on their own.

Hardly unique to Europe. It's very common in American cities to see signs outside of bars in primarily residential neighborhoods reminding people to be "considerate of our neighbors" and other words to that effect. Cities tend to be noisy but that doesn't mean everyone should take an attitude of "There are sirens and noise anyway, so honk your horn and carouse at 3 in the morning all you want."
Straw man at the very least? How many people use veggies for their energy? That's what most people use grains for - bread, pasta, potatoes. All of them also cheap.

Given obesity rates, the problem is too much energy. After all, one part of calling for more vegetable consumption is so that people lower their energy intake. Example: https://www.fruitsandveggiesmorematters.org/eating-vegetable... (the number of articles on cutting calories by eating more vegetables is uncountable)

Just as an aside, a short excerpt from a bio.chem course that shows the connection between high energy intake and obesity: https://youtu.be/rTR-Ev3hj4c

I don't understand this researcher worship. How many papers from 1800-1900 are still valuable? How many from 1900-2000.

Fact is that academia is grossly overstaffed and under publication pressure. Most papers aren't worth much, especially in the social sciences.

Even in CS there are few seminal papers, and I mean the level of Tukey, Dana Scott, Pollard...

Even if you got experience, you will never get leverage in thise industry. The reason is the mythos of the gamedeveloper, drawing in new people (mostly young "I-want-to-make-a-game" idealists) with Stars in theire eyes.
Its the same-thing, that allows Hollywood to abuse young actresses- who will not resist, because there "are millions more where you came from". Supply and demand.

Idealists make for excellent rocket fuel, and if they are burned out, you dump the husk and make another run for it with new material.

You cant unionize this, because this cycle is the default operation mode and students joining up dont have unions or reasons to join one.

So this is suggesting that childhood poverty may be a strong correlate of whatever the marshmallow test tests (and childhood poverty is plausibly a strong correlate of life outcomes, so the effect might be completely mediated via childhood poverty rather than any notion of "affinity towards delayed gratification"), but I'm not sure I understand how/whether it rules out the following two.

(1) whatever quality X the marshmallow test tests is so strongly heritable that the parents of X children already are X and therefore tend to be more poor

(2) poverty is causative of X (maybe even by the mechanism the article suggests, i.e. less stability -> higher uncertainty -> higher discounting of expected future outcomes), but it's still accurate to label X "delaying of gratification", and it is in fact causative to success; therefore, this is a mechanism by which poverty perpetuates itself
It needs to stop. Amazon is making it easy for anyone to sell products, but the way they do it blurs some lines and allows sellers to ride on Amazons reputation. It's amazon.com, it's their checkout process, it's all Amazon but for the little indicator that it's a 3rd party seller. Oh, and the total lack of quality control or accountability.
The value of buying from CarMax is a level of assurance that I won't be buying a lemon and that I'm doing business with a company with a positive reputation.

I'm in my early 40s and I've only had five cars. The first two were from a car dealer who was the father of my best friend, one new one and two from CarMax for myself and my wife. My experiences at CarMax were much better than my one time buying a new car from a dealer that I didn't know personally.

Poverty makes your mind stressed and fatty high sugar foods are good to satistfy your mind.

Also these are cheaper and mass produced, highly marketed for low income masses and kids. Supermarkets are designed to make you buy shit.

It's a sad natural phenomenon that amplifies itself. It doesn't really cost a lot to eat healthy but it requires a steady mindset which is usually done by culture. But consumerism ate culture so .. everybody just go for short term convenience until they become obese.

People who've never worked with a chassis-based router might find the distinction between control engine and the linecards/fabric hard to understand in an abstract sense.

It's more readily apparent if you've taken an empty Cisco ASR9010 and started from a blank slate configuration with a new pair of RSP440 route/service processors (the control plane) and then incrementally added linecards/interfaces.

Mid to large sized routers are designed in such a way that everything is either N+1 or 1+1 redundant and hot swap, it's like having a four engined airplane you can replace an engine on in mid flight.
Scarcity is toxic in a context of opulence. If you live in a forest you end up hunting and organizing yourself. In a city you see everybody having it easy and you can't even rely on nature to allow your efforts to feed you.

> Only humans have moral agency, and therefore, as co-inhabitants of planet Earth with an astounding number of plants and animals, have the unique responsibility for conservation.

Ancient Greek thinking like this usually leaves me with a sense akin to shock, I think because I'm victim of some darling prejudices of our time: that the quality of human thinking has gradually improved over eons. That the vast number of humans now engaged in thinking on all continents, with marvels of technology at their fingertips would mean we have ready access to unparalleled understanding of the human condition compared to times past. Instead we are like children. We can hardly even understand what those people were talking about.

Moral agency? Never heard about it :-/.

Surely the real WTF here is that Redis allows unauthenticated connections over the network at all?

I appreciate that it's too late to go back and change this, as it would break existing installations on upgrade, but perhaps it's worth pointing that out for the benefit of future server developers.

If you want to make things easy for initial setup, you could allow unauthenticated connections over UNIX domain sockets, and/or the loopback interface. And perhaps only if there is no password configured?

If you want to really make it hard for users to screw up, how about requiring the admin to configure a password for remote access, but also generating some random secret on installation or first boot, and requiring both for authentication. Then, even a weak password doesn't make it easy for a remote attacker to gain access.
Actually excessive delayed gratification in such circumstances might be maladaptive, right? Causitive to success in context of type C.

Also not clear that's its ability to delay gratification that is being measured; instead, it's just a measure of risk taking mediated by subjective estimate of situational risk and tolerance for risk.
You complain to GP for not considering that the people who published the original Marshmallow test paper had controlled for confounding factors. In the opening paragraph, other researchers complain about just that.

In other words: a more sensible reading of GP's comment would be as a reaction to said paragraph.

How to Make $1,000+ per Day Trading New Penny Cryptocurrencies?
Yes, but the intention is to demonstrate one of the issues with using ML. For example, translating into a language which uses genders in grammar. A human translator will read a passage to determine a doctor's gender. A machine translation will know that doctor is usually translated as a male doctor and apply that to the translation. If the bias in the training is strong enough it can override actual signs in the source content that the doctor is a woman.

If a person reads enough translated content, this just passes on the bias from the training data.

I interviewed with Game Closure for the engineering position. Passed 3 technical rounds with engineers and CEO, then was asked for reference. I agreed to provide my ex-boss's contact, they didn't call until more than 2 weeks later, then got a feedback that they received some "red flags" from the reference so they won't proceed. I couldn't believe it so I came to ask my ex-boss directly, whom I worked with for 2.5 years as lead developer and still maintain good relationship. He was shocked to hear that, and said he tried to give me the best feedback he could, then apologize and even tried to offer me some other gigs in exchange for the loss. Judging from the actions alone - GC had no desire to make the call until 2 weeks later and my boss trying to offer me jobs instead - I find it simply impossible to believe that GC had genuine interest in me and that my boss backstabbed me. If you don't want the candidate you should simply tell them, but if you can't find a good reason and decide to blame it on the reference despite the candidate's effort to provide whatever you need and risking their relationship, it tells a lot about you.
Thanks detaro for the feedback.
That was really helpful
Is this field even about "science" per se? It seems more oriented towards fashioning just-so-stories that lend a scientific veneer to some piece of folk wisdom in order to generate a buzz.

My own "experimentation" suggests that the character trait that predisposes one to bandy about pop allegories such as "marshmallow test" is a portentous sign in potential managers.
> How do you define intelligence and how is it biologically inherited?

Any textbook on the topic will explain. This is not even controversial.
First of all, I do not understand why you would argue that I don't understand the article because I supposedly claim that the test has no predictive power, since I literally write "the Marshmallow test still is predictive".

Furthermore, Smaug123's explanation here is flawed:

> Assuming the trait is either heritable or culturally imbued (and intuitively it seems very likely that at least one of those is true), it makes sense that rich parents are more likely to have children who are either natively or culturally high in The Desire To Pass Tests

The reason it does not make sense in this context is the very thing you cite yourself: when controlled for socio-economic background, the predictive power disappears. If the predictive power of the Marshmallow test could be ascribed to character traits, controlling to socio-economic backgrounds should enhance the signal of the predictive power, not remove it altogether.
I don't think this is new. 20 years ago, I loved game programming.. I even chose a game dev library in C++ as my senior (college) project. But my obsession also led me to read all I could about the industry, and the stories were the same. I got nervous about the 14-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week eternal crunch time, the pay, the job security, the lack of prospects without moving around. I chickened out.

I still like my job, but it's nothing like the passion I felt when I built games. Still, I don't think that passion is enough to justify the strain it would put on my family through financial risk, not to mention my work/life balance (or in this case, work/slightly less work balance).

Since it was the same then as now, I suspect it may continue to be. After all, it's a job with inherent joy for people who want it, and those tend to have the luxury of materially rewarding workers less. Much as bars can basically pay bands little to nothing in order to have live music, because there's no shortage of people wanting it just for the inherent joy, I imagine game companies will continue to have a pool of creative technicians willing to work for less. Maybe the higher barrier of entry to learn tech work will change something one day, but it doesn't appear to have done so, so far.
You've nailed it: the criticisms you have are literally all about centers of power. It's said power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely: I guess that's confirmed again.

The thing is, in the absence of corrupt union power, you got nothing and there's only corrupt corporate/employer power.

If you can solve for that, it'll be great. And I agree it's tragic and awful when the corrupt corporate power is only balanced by corrupt union power, none of it giving a damn for ordinary people. But that's power for ya.

With Go, are you using off-the-shelf web frameworks or libraries or do you have your own in-house framework/template?

No frameworks. We use http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/pkg/mux and sometimes we need a few more libraries for GWT/ElasticSearch/PostGres. I know there more performant options but we've found no reason to change so far.

So you said you're deploying 5000+ web apps a quarter. Are those new web apps?

Yes, 70-80% of them are new apps. Small apps, not multiple month project, mostly CRUD. Much easier/faster and cost-effective for us to develop what we've already done. OId app usually requires adding few routes and shuffling around the frontend elements or adding some small CSS tweaks. We use a simple list to accept/reject projects. We never undertake any complex project.

How many web apps are you deploying per dev head count?

These are small apps. We've 1500 developers in a very low-cost jurisdiction.

Note that it’s not just adversarial robustness that is a problem, as the paper’s result merely with altering surface statistics with a Fourier domain filter applied to the training data already creates problems for interpreting the network’s internal representation as having any type of semantic representation of the underlying structure relevant for the task, without needing to involve the part about adversarial robustness at all.
While 'ErlangLang' is obviously wrong, I should point out that the '-lang' part of 'Erlang' is not related to the root word 'language'. Perhaps the name 'Erlang' was chosen because it already ended in '-lang', perhaps not, I don't know. But it was quite likely named after the Danish mathematician Agner Krarup Erlang.
