Yes they do.

Those things are illegal in most places, and where they are legal they're heavily regulated or run by the state.
"Because you need to use proprietary graphics drivers for acceleration."

Is there some specific scenario where this would be a problem?
Best way to visualize binary search tree
Can HN suggest any good book that compactly deals with "all the non-technical details you need to know about starting a startup"? Obviously I'm not expecting anything comprehensive.
I did a similar visualisation a few months ago, but less polished, for my own curiosity: https://twitter.com/iandioch/status/968938231550107649

Just the NHL (for now) -- and MLB also handles production for the NHL TV network at this point as well.
What they are is monads - the post just avoids using the term so as not to scare people off. Monads generalise the railway-oriented style between error-handling, async, and many other things. That's their whole point, and that's why they (and functional programming generally) were a big deal years before JavaScript even existed.

"But each failure kind of brings me down, and makes me think that I'm a bad engineer."

You're not. I do these type of interviews and there are plenty of times where a person doesn't pass but I can tell it's just because they need to prepare more. I think your strategy of applying and failing is good, but I would also supplement it with practicing these type of interviews (e.g. get a whiteboard, go to leetcode or wherever, pull up a random question and pretend like you're in the interview).
Fashion for every personality
For me it's been Adidas Samba basic white stripes on black model, with occasional forays into suede color related models. They've always held up well, wash well, feel good. I'll have a new pair on hand, an older one or two for exercise, and a junk pair I can discard at any time.

I've always been fascinated by a particular finger of land in the SF Bay just north of the San Mateo Bridge, west of the channel that goes under the bridge. It's quite some distance from the Foster City shore. I waded out to that finger on the day of lowest tide about ten years ago and walked to the northernmost point one day, with my junk Sambas ... it's probably the loneliest spot in the bay area without getting into the hills, except you can wave to the commuters on the bridge. I didn't bother to clean up that pair when done.

The menu system being "unclear" is not a bug you can find with automated tests.

Its true that unit-tests ensure quality software. But this quality is a waste if real user's can't figure it out.
Your concern for less-than-perfect sighted users is laudable - however, there are accessibility specifications for contrast you can adhere to (4.5:1 I believe), to ensure your text is readable, without having to go #000 black on #fff white in all cases
Solo dev for an app with hundreds of thousands of users. These are the things I do that ensure smooth releases:

• run a beta test group. These users consist mostly of users that have emailed in with feature suggestions or bugs. I ask them if they’d like to join the beta (e.g. they can check their bug is fixed). I frequently get great feedback from a few of these users.

• fiverr.com. Shell out $100 spread across a range of testers, and give them all slightly different briefings. Some feedback is terrible but there’s some gold there that’s really worth far more than $100.

• learn how to test your own product. It’s hard to do well, but you can learn. It’s a valuable skill that can really set you apart in a regular engineering job too.

• used phased releases. Pause the release at 1%, give it a few days for any minor issues to roll in and fix these before releasing to 100%.
I don't think it's that simple if the definition of distance is a function of position.
Disrupting the model would prolly look more like Transmeta or Cavium.
Don't get me wrong, I really really love Soulsborn series but they are one of the few games which I could play for the longest hours. They can be addictive in their own style.

For the sandbox part, I spent many sleepless nights during week days to Starbound, which is basically 2d Minecraft.

My point is, taste really matters and even non-exploitative games can be addictive. I'm never known as a hardcore gamer who spends half his life playing video games btw.

The productivity paradox
Highly threaded applications are not “a very specific situation”. This is a huge class of important applications. This describes most popular services.

It’s not “premature optimization” to gain 1-2% for likely trillions of application executions.
There's no evidence business people do know it.

Most stores seem to redesign their clothing ranges for both women and men annually, and then make a big deal of it.

There are a few exceptions, like branded jeans with stable styles, and no-brand generic staples like tees and polos.

But generally when you find an article you like, it disappears within a few months.

It's astounding that clothing retail has been around for centuries, but hardly anyone has considered that at least some customers might prefer a stable product range.
The essence of FP is that if you apply a bit of cleverness and engineering, you can replace things that look like they would need custom language features, like multiple return or async, with libraries that let you work do the same thing with plain old functions and values.

(All that said, if you're thinking in terms of multiple inputs and outputs you're missing the point. The output isn't a pair, it's one or the other, and that's really important. You need to be able to make invalid states unrepresentable, so a disjoint union is not just a pair)
Thats not a binary outcome. Note: deficiency is not blindness.

Do you remember when 4G has become the new standard for mobile communication? Almost 10 years later, many networks have just reached the connection speeds required by the 4G standard. Given the time it took to reach true 4G, it may seem premature to think of building a network ready for 5G.

Netflix got the rights to stream the entirety of Starz's cable library for peanuts back in 2007 or 2008 -- that deal put them on the map since they got some high-quality content for basically nothing. The movie and TV distributors learned from the record labels -- they're deathly afraid of how iTunes basically took over the market, and will go out of their way to make sure the system stays as decentralized as possible.
To my eyes Miki is reading someone else's opinions. Happens a lot lately. It looks like he is being used every time he steps up publicly regarding national matters. IMHO.

Yes, I understand. But by "implicitly" I really meant that. You don't see the type, only the compiler does. The programmer only sees the non-error part of the type (the "Right" part of Either).
Lots of posters have mentioned the big banks in Toronto which is absolutely correct, but the big insurers use zOS heavily as well. Waterloo region has a number of big insurance companies and is a lot less expensive than Toronto.
Performance myths like this are really interesting. Usage of features is usually not inherently responsible for bad performance, but the way they are used. Usage of these features can amplify the effects of bad software architecture. Some features might just be elected as the culprit while there is really a different problem.

If a little boxing and unboxing in a functional language takes 7 times as long as the rest of the code, something must be very very wrong. It's hard to believe that.

In this concrete case: a data intensive workflow should really have no or only few error situations. The performance of exceptions should not matter at all. I would guess that reworking the code to avoid exceptions also included reworking the program structure.

Yeah I understand that being the stated reason I've just not seen it actually done very often as the performance/memory use is an issue. I've been surveying some people though and a couple people are actually using it, looks like!
I would feel quite unconfortable if every action taken (or not taken) by medic staff has to be second-guessed simply because there are financial incentives derived from this research.

Customer A does not receive full medical support because "he's dying anyway"?

Is there a way to ensure that such cruel use of the research is prohibited?
As much as 80 percent of the time spent on today’s predictive models goes to the “scut work” of making the data presentable, said Nigam Shah, an associate professor at Stanford University, who co-authored Google’s research paper, published in the journal Nature. Google’s approach avoids this. "You can throw in the kitchen sink and not have to worry about it,” Shah said.

Alarm bells start ringing right about here.

A solid 90% of AI is data munging, so that work isn't going away even a little bit; historically, Google throwing the kitchen sink into healthcare problems with lots of noisy data leads to flu seasons being correlated with softball victories or other wildly spurious correlations.
This is awesome. Now I'd love to be able to visualize which aiports are flown to/from the one under the mouse... Where can one get this data?
Detention at my school made us copy encyclopedia articles. What I would do is find an article about an author, then write my own sci-fi or fantasy short stories, claiming they were by that author. It was really quite fun, as I enjoy creative writing.
Absolutely. It's a map of closest airport for any location on earth.

You could do different versions of this for different classes of plane (e.g. select a minimum runway length).
If I remember correctly, rust doesn't help with deadlocks - you still have to be careful of them. Though it does have primitives to help significantly with race conditions
You forgot the /s flag.
Agreed. I think people generally took the wrong lessons from IA-64 (which originated at HP).

A) Smart compilers are hard, expensive, and slow to develop

B) In 2001, source wasn't open enough for a new ISA to succeed. Not sure it would be now either (chicken / egg for big iron workloads: need marketshare for optimization, need optimization for marketshare)

C) Intel absolutely missed the "desktop memory needs are going to expand" trend

These are all examples of "Gradient Noise" which is intended to produce naturally varying types of noise.

There is also value noise, white noise (what you are thinking of), cellular noise. It is an interesting field!

value noise and white noise are computationally easy enough that it probably doesn't make sense to simdify them. probably!
Introducing Pulumi, a Cloud Development Platform
I have re-created a CGI Script that we have programmed years ago, when some Russian geologists were visiting our institute.

This visualises a generalised lithological log: That means, some of the rocks recovered from the hole, and their thicknesses.

Let's seee if I manage to make the script more interactive.
Yup. My wife has only 7000 and still gets an annoying amount of emails (at least for a busy mom of 2) from brands wanting to send her product for "collabs". Hotel comps would be nice!
A very close relative of mine passed away 2 weeks ago. She had cancer for 2 years and when she was first diagnosed the doctors would give her 8-10 “good years”. Well...

When she died, I was shocked to learn that very few data points of her sichkness and treatment history would be preserved for later analysis. Doctors work almost entirely on their gut feeling and probably some clinical studies with n being very small. I hate that she died, but it’s even worse to know that all her data died with her and won’t help any other patient. I think this is one of the rare cases where collecting more data would help protect people
Obviously, not all railways are like Promises (they don't need to be async) but Promises are kind of railways, as the parent commenter said.

Not sure what you mean by "recursively build up and tear down" but this JS snippet sure looks a lot like the F# one in the slides

const updateCustomerWithErrorHandling = (...args) =>
receiveRequest(...args)
.then(validateRequest)
.then(canonicalizeEmail)
.then(updateDbFromRequest)
.then(sendEmail)
.then(handleSuccess, handleError)

Here, each of the functions can return a result (async or not) or reject with Promise.reject or by throwing. If any of the functions rejects, the rest of the functions in this "happy path" are not called.
A different approach: you can distort the map underneath, similarly to those maps that scale regions as a function of population rather than actual geographic area.
If the culture in the automotive industry is to change, then many more executives will have to face the consequences of supporting current common practice.
It's not quite the same thing ... the either type is just a simple value which you can think about as just having a boolean saying "is this a successful or unsuccessful result?", and depending on the success attach different data. E.g. a result of parsing JSON from a string would be "successful: true + the parsed object" or "successful: false + the error message".

The railway oriented approach is then looking at neat ways of working with these kind of results in the place of try/catch when dealing with errors.
There is one trope that I despise in particular, and that is the idea that war profiteers drive countries to war over the backs of reluctant and unwilling populations.

War is popular. I mean, look at how much of our modern entertainment glorifies war. The military is generally and genuinely the most popular public institution. The problem is, when a war loses its momentum, people lose their enthusiasm really quickly. People forget that the Iraq War, for example, actually had majority support when it broke out.

War profiteers certainly exist, but they are a tiny minority, even of the military-industrial complex. There is a much larger segment of industry that is hurt by war: war means a loss of external markets, disruption of supply chains, increased cost of resources, higher taxes, lower internal demand, and massive destruction of property (should the war be fought on your soil).

War is not profitable. The one thing that war is most closely connected with is higher taxes. The inability to pay for wars is probably the single largest contributor to the downfall of governments in recorded history.

Voronoi diagrams are so fun. I messed around for months with them after I saw Amit Patel's procedural map generator that used them.

http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/game-programming/...

Fortune's Algorithm is pretty simple, but it's tricky to get right, particularly if you're also maintaining the information in a form that lets you do something useful with it besides spitting out the points of the Voronoi centers.

Glad to see they're bringing Ektachrome back. Years ago, I took a photography class that was B&W, except for the week we did color with Ektachrome. The instructor selected a few slides from everyone and we watched it together. It was mesmerizing in a way I've never seen photography before. Part of that was the large-scale, projected images, with exquisite detail that you just can't get (yet) from digital.
With exceptions you have overhead on the happy path and potentially even in code that can never error: you have to keep all your old stack frames around in case you throw, since you never know when you might throw. Doing nice tail calls, or continuations, gets very hard since you have to figure out how your exception handling interacts with them. (Of course F# has to pay a lot of those costs already, since it runs on a VM that was designed for a language with exceptions). Whereas with result types everything is just functions and values and you don't need any special cases.
I haven't spent much time with Joyce past Dubliners, but I've spent a great deal of time with Kerouac, and particularly "On the Road".

I don't think it takes a special person to enjoy, but it does require a particular mindset that any given person may or may not have at the time. It's sort of how "Catcher in the Rye" is brilliant when you're a teenager, and how very, very different it is when you're an adult.

On the Road is not the sort of book that I'd spend much time with now, but I've grown towards, and to appreciate the brevity of Hemingway or Elmore Leonard more now, but if you're not inclined towards Joyce, wait a while. If it never happens, so be it.
It's amusing to see the Rust astroturfers jump in to any and all threads on hackernews spreading the gospel.
The whole point of spinning is to avoid the expense of a context switch by putting the thread to sleep, letting the OS schedule another. If you're going to spin for 10ms, that's longer than the timeslice most threads run for. That is going to be well above the overhead of any context switch. It makes no sense.
To generalize this, 'If the culture in the <insert> industry is to change, then many more executives will have to face the consequences of supporting current common practice.'
If I told you a short story and then informed you it was copyrighted by me and you were morally forbidden from repeating said story, but you still repeated it, are you now a sociopath?

What a ridiculous stretch of logic.

On the contrary the idea that people's lives/property should be threatened (e.g. Kim Dotcom, ThePirateBay, etc.) for interfering, vaguely, in multinational conglomerates attempts to prevent the copying of 1s and 0s is entirely sociopathic. Something that most corporations end up behaving as.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss, but can you elaborate on what data was discarded after her passing?
Uncomfortable, but over all a good thing as long as the system uses this information properly; offering doctors additional supportive training, if appropriate. (And not forgetting that the doctors with the the worst recovery rates may be the ones predisposed to take the trickiest cases).
Every decade mainstream programming culture finally picks up one feature from ML.
What value does all this social media stuff produce? It’s affecting how companies promote products and services. If you don’t have a social media strategy as a multinational, you’re possibly going to miss out on a rather important demographic for consumer goods (not really important necessarily for FIRES businesses... yet). All these skills are going to be in large supply in the future when previously marketing was somewhat more Byzantine than a vaguely organic, democratic process.

The utility of a skill is mostly based around societal value of said skill, not really much else. People get paid millions all around the planet putting balls in various receptacles, but such is the human need for entertainment and feeling good (even if temporary) is a business that is never going to go away. Warren Buffett has said he’s lucky enough he was born when being able to memorize and process lots of financial numbers could be extremely advantageous - maybe that may not be so valuable in 600 years while art is much more precious?
IMO the railway analogy works well, because it describes the right dimensionality. It's sort of a 1.5D problem with a directed graph, with a chain of events plus a fallback chain. A railway captures that perfectly while giving people a clear picture they can understand, assuming they imagine a train that can only move in one direction and decides its path based on switches on the track. With something like a glider you could ask questions like "but what if it flies off to the East" or "what about vertical air movements that carry it up or down" and so on...
