The world is more complex then ever before, is it possible that current generations are behind financially because they needed a longer education?

Is it possible that this will pay off in the long run?

Just wondering, if maybe we're focusing on a phenomenon that haven't played itself out yet.
Unless, of course we haven't educated enough of the current generation.
You don’t need split horizon dns as long as the router is running a resolver. Just configure the resolver to use some TLD (eg .local) as a local network so that it looks up any names ending in eg .local in its local /etc/hosts or equivalent.
Yeah, I worked at an optical lab to pay for college. We'd have customers come in with screws that wouldn't stay in so we'd use clear nail polish. I'm sure for some uses, loctite would be better, but nail polish does very good. We'd also use it on metal temple pieces when someone's facial oils had done a number on it. We'd buff the pieces smooth and coat with clear nail polish. Not a perfect fix, but would get someone who could afford new glasses by for a while longer.
Really similar to any other repo you've seen. I would say the biggest difference is that there are many private libraries being used liberally. It's odd to see that sprinkled in throughout, whereas most codebases you understand where/why all the libs are being used. Maybe that sounds obvious but consider that big companies are going to use their own versions of some popular libs.

But speaking of that, another diff is that the big companies do often use popular libs, but the versions in use are quite behind. Usually because they have a policy to thoroughly review any libs first, even version upgrades.

Usually all code is public, as most companies trust their employees and consider that bad actions could happen even with all the protections. An exception to this is that I've heard some parts of Android isn't public to all employees at Google.

It's also interesting that some companies put the entire codebase under 1 repository.

Right, one would think it would work since the phone had SMS built in, and it was the same carrier (Virgin, i believe using the Sprint network). I have no idea of the technical details but I assume it’s some protocol version incompatibility.

(I assume you're referring to the Senate and not the House, which does do somewhat population-based apportionment)

The two-assembly structure exists because it was a compromise to not give the densely-populated states all the power in the new Republic. Crucially, this sort of compromise was important because it helped the less-populated states get on board with the whole "federal government" concept without fearing that power over their own affairs would be continually swamped by places like New York. "Land" gets voting rights because those who were in charge of that land (the state legislators) wanted it in order to sign onto the project.

This is why I find the modern media complaints trying to do away with such structures very troubling. It may be more vestigial at this point, but the setup was supposed to emphasize a collection of states rather than mere administrative subdivisions of a faraway government. Frankly, if there would be any change to the state-based system for senators, it should come with a free ability for smaller states to secede as a group; because it would be going back on the deal.

The best tip I can give is to set up your desk, chair, screen and input devices at the best heights.

This means, roughly:

0) Make sure you have an external keyboard, mouse and monitor so you don't have to put up with laptop ergonomics for extended periods of time.

1) Set the height of your seat as high as you can whilst keeping your feet firmly on the ground.

2) Set the height of the keyboard and mouse so that, when you sit on the chair with your shoulders relaxed, and your fingers on the keyboard, your forearms are parallel to the ground. If you cannot adjust raise your desk, stack pieces of wood on the table. If you are short, like I am, add a wooden slide-out keyboard tray under the desk surface.

3) Set the height of the monitor so that your eyes are level with the vertical centre of the display.

4) (Optional) Get a folding laptop support stand, to elevate your laptop such that its screen in the same way as the monitor.

The House and the Senate will be weighted to two largely different Americas.

So, in some sense, the system works?

The whole point of having two different federal bodies based on different criteria is to try to ensure that minority populations or different demographic details of different states don't leave any population utterly without representation and a voice. The intent is that they will be forced to hash out their differences rather than just straight up letting one group run rough shod over everyone else completely unchecked.
I really don't care for all the ebook features you mentioned, I just like the convenience and lack of weight of having hundreds of books in your pocket.

I do like the feel of a real book when actually reading it but don't mind reading books on my phone either.

The naming fits if you think about the implications of the mark on the flow of a sentence. A colon is a pretty hard stop when I read, while a comma is barely a pause. A semicolon is in between the two; you don't stop as long as the colon, but you pause a little longer than a comma (did I use it correctly? ;P )

Just ask for a 10k pound rise then instead of a one pound rise. This is my strategy. Better get a 10k rise and pay 6k in taxes on it than not to get a one pound rise to avoid extra taxes altogether.
I imagine Breiman was just talking about bagging-style parallel ensembles, when he was talking about variance reduction, not boosting-style sequential ensembles. Not long before he died, he was still actively trying to figure out why AdaBoost “works”. Don’t think he claimed to really understand that. He had experimental results that disputed the “it’s just maximizing the margin” explanation.

Saw the comments above — are you from a stats or ML background, or neither?
Parse private properties in the config files in your build process, if paranoid. I don’t have use cases where I’m sending the full contents of a config across the network. Each property in a config would be explicitly referenced in the application.

And it’s not like there isn’t any potential problems with some YAML or TOML library you import. Rails Yaml comes to mind.
From the article:

>Meaning 30 percent will choose 70 senators. And the 30% will be older, whiter, more rural, more male than the 70 percent. Unsettling to say the least

Question: So if you're a white male in a rural setting you're inherently a bad person?
Sure, but there's no such thing as a combined education in plant physiology, embedded firmware development, and machine learning, so maybe employers should just get off their high horse and train people.

I’m always baffled how Vancouver always makes it to the top of these lists.

I’ve visited the city several times. It’s decent. But there isn’t anything special about it other than the view and that it’s surrounded by nature. Everything else is bland. No architecture, boring city planning, average transport for a big city, completely unaffordable housing, food is just as generic as everywhere, major homeless issue, weather is gloomy.
That's a good point. In general prose, I try to avoid a lot of lists and tables precisely because it sort of screams "manual" or something else dry. But, I agree, that it's often easier to parse a bullet list especially in technical writing and other straightforward communication of information.
What a perfect society looks like is of course an incredibly hard question to answer. But not knowing the exact ideals does not discount our ability to recognize a bad state. We can move in a better direction, and yes, it's possible that we make a mistake in the other direction. But the chances of that happening are so laughable as to not even consider it.

I would look at other resumes in your industry/career type and see where yours can be improved.
When considering the total time spent, yes.

However, I had previously run dnsmasq instead of the default kresd so that the Omnia would resolve hostnames in my local network from DHCP leases, and it was such a pain! Updates would frequently break the dnsmasq setup, so I was glad when they finally integrated DHCP lease-based name resolution in the Omnia.

For me, running custom software on the Omnia is a frustrating experience. Working on router7 was a pleasant experience.

Lastly, from my experience with gokrazy.org, I expect the total maintenance/debugging time for the router to be really low, and not in C and obscure build systems, but in Go, about which you can read my thoughts at https://michael.stapelberg.de/posts/2017-08-19-golang_favori... :)
Wondered if anyone would mention this, also if you haven't tried it the Netflix version of Dirk Gently is wonderful, departs from the books without departing from the characters.
Like the other person said that's just a normal DNS lookup, not split horizon. Use one of the private TLDs like .test or .local.

There are many compounds that dangerous and it isn’t like you are eating it. It stays inside the tubes.
That makes sense. Thank you for explaining! I hadn’t fully pieced it together from the commit.

For dimensionality reduction, if one were to use my library, the way to go would be the orthogonal JL transform. The key to all these methods is the idea that multiplication by a diagonal matrix and subsequent F[HF]T is equivalent to multiplication by a matrix, which is what allows it to do what random matrix multiplication provides without instantiating or using the full matrix.

As an aside, I admire your work and think it’s both very exciting and highly valuable.

Oh, interesting!

> These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bands reserved for government use

I mean, if you take all of the common RF spectrum and look at what is reserved for civilian use, the vast majority is not freely usable. I'm not surprised it's within licensed spectrum.

Right.

Many explanations of medical issues and treatments lack accuracy or explanatory power, sure. Doctors disagree all the time on diagnosis and treatment. But in psychotherapy it's like having a neurologist tell you that your diabetes is caused by compression of a lumbar nerve while a gastroenterologist tells you that it's caused by an intestinal obstruction.

I see this response got down voted, but no one has given evidence to it mistakes. Compare America to most of the other 'modern' countries. Look at the metrics: Poverty, Health care, Social values, Life expectancy, Jailing practices, Murder rates... on and on.... where are we exceptionally good?
I think that the CP/AP dichotomy is a good example of how we treat fundamental, but not hard tradeoffs as hard.

E.g. often we have a fundamental tradeoff between latency and throughput, and it's impossible to get 100% in both metrics. However, we can still do very well in both, and that's what matters in practice.

We have the same thing with CAP. You can build a CP system with high availability.
No, because I find it too constraining and would rather setup someplace new (inside or out) for each new task.

> the rich are getting richer and the "poor", including the middle class, are getting poorer as a direct consequence.

This is correct. That's the reason we have to close the loop holes that make it possible that high-net-worth individuals evade taxes.

Unfortunately, kids are very expensive, some say you have to budget €250k for each kid in total (until they start earning their own money). Most people make approx. €1.25 million in their lifetime, so this is a pretty big part of their lifetime spending (retirement needs another €200-300k). I agree that it's not easy.

I hope that we will be able to solve this problem. Good luck!

This doesn't fall under improper discourse as there was no discernible inflammatory tone. HN is a collection of critical thinkers and in this case offered an enlightening and relevant mechanical design point.
From what I've read in this thread, I infer that the study involved telling blindfolded people that white was red, or vice versa, and people were induced to rationalize their perceptions. The classic Asch conformity experiments[1] did not prove people can't tell the length of lines, did they?

On Cuba the higher education is free but if you study medicine you have to work a few years on a government assignment before you can even choose where to work and you may not emigrate. Sounds pretty draconian but compared with the cabal of the student debt system and the effect it has on the prices of the medical care, maybe not so much?
Yep. Same thing with Ebay. A good portion of electronics and other small items are straight from Alibaba.
Going through homebrew Apple 2 software in unlabeled floppies. The parents bought a few used Apple computers and each time they came with huge boxes full of these disks, much of them unmarked. Sometimes the disk would load a complex program that seemed very useful. Sometimes it would load an animation, and sometimes that animation could be controlled by (guessing) keys. Sometimes it was a game. Most did something!

TXR Lisp:

(defun count-words (filespec)
[(opip file-get-string
(tok #/[^\s]+/)
(group-reduce (hash) identity
(do inc @1) @1 0))
filespec])

We build a function which gets the file as a string, then tokenizes non-space-character chunks out of it, which are then group-reduced to a histogram hash. We pass the filespec to this function.

I posted this yesterday but deleted it, because grandparent's point wasn't about code golfing but just comparing Lisp and Python syntax.

There is a group-by function in TXR Lisp, but group-reduce is more efficient, because by using it we avoid building the group lists and counting. It's something I invented. Basically it performs multiple left folds in parallel, using the entries in a hash as multiple accumulators. Items from the sequence are hashed to their respective accumulator entry and injected through it. 0 is the initial value for the accumulator when it doesn't exist, functioning exactly like the initial value in a regular fold. (do inc @1) expands to a function which just increments its left argument (the accumulator) and returns it. We cannot use succ because it takes exactly one argument.

group-reduce has an added flexibility in that it doesn't construct a new hash, but takes an existing one as an argument. This adds the (hash) verbosity to the code, since we have to construct the hash ourselves. But with that we could run multiple successive group-reduce jobs that go into the same hash table. Also, the function is spared from having to provide a way to pass through hash arguments for different kinds of hash tables with different options.

The identity argument is needed because group-reduce takes a function that projects the items to keys; in this case the items themselves are the keys so we use identity.

Here is an interactive gist of how to solve the problem succinctly using group-by and then counting lengths:

This is the TXR Lisp interactive listener of TXR 198.
Quit with :quit or Ctrl-D on empty line. Ctrl-X ? for cheatsheet.
1> [group-by identity '(1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 4 4)]
#H(() (1 (1)) (2 (2 2 2)) (3 (3 3 3 3 3)) (4 (4 4)))
2> [hash-update *1 len]
#H(() (1 1) (2 3) (3 5) (4 2))

This leads to the following solution:

(defun count-words (filespec)
[(opip file-get-string
(tok #/[^\s]+/)
(group-by identity)
(hash-update @1 len))
filespec])

Easy to follow, and brief, but wastefully conses up lists just for the sake of obtaining their lengths.

> verbose and painful to understand.

Doesn't seem honest. I don't know Python, yet I can understand what that is doing, and might even be able to spot a logic error, if it had one (though not some issue of syntax).

For the most part, people see a psychotherapist because they've got problems that they feel unable to fix on their own. Awareness of resistance to the psychotherapeutic process is almost as old as psychotherapy - it's a central concept in Freudian psychoanalysis.

"You have to be willing to help yourself" is perilously close to "psychotherapy only works on people who are capable of changing of their own volition", which calls into question the entire purpose of psychotherapy. If I could change my way of thinking through sheer force of will, why would I pay a professional $100 an hour to sit and listen while I do it? It evokes the classic defence of the quack - the spoon only bends if you truly believe in the power of the mind.

If that problem is framed as "some patients are too sick to treat", then at least it shifts the burden of responsibility onto the therapist; it's not the patient's fault that the psychotherapist lacks the neccesary tools to facilitate change. Blaming the patient for having a bad attitude just makes the profession of psychotherapy look ineffectual.

My suspicion is that many people going to therapy are lacking in one or more items from the basic hierarchy of needs.

I went to therapy once. In hindsight I'd have been better off with a girlfriend and friend companionship.

I'd ask myself.

1. Am I getting good quality sleep?
2. Am I getting good quality food?
3. Am I interacting with people socially?
4. Am I sexually active?
5. Am I physically active to the point of breaking sweat?

The mental and physical are intertwined and it is easy to forget to take care of yourself. Your machine requires maintenance.

I don't only mean sometimes take it easy - that too - but also people can grow very neurotic by ignoring their social and sexual needs, and like a machine - we are meant to perform functions - without which we can suffer aka a certain amount of physical or mental stress is good for us and we can err by doing too little or too much.

The schools aren’t incentivized to recruit more students. And, unlike American universities, you can start and stop studying as you please. France for example, you get a certification for every level you complete. So it’s common to see job descriptions with Bac+2 or Bac+3. Your baccalaureate and 2 years of university. Unlike the all or nothing BA/BS American degree.

American universities run on government and private finance. If they don’t graduate a certain percentage of students that financing gets withdrawn. So it’s easy to see where giving better grades leads to higher graduations connected to government financing.

For me, hearing Jarrett’s perspective of technological agnosticism resonated strongly with me. Each transit technology comes with various tradeoffs that can sometimes be unbundled and sometimes cannot.

It’s hard for people to understand how good busses can be unless you’ve seen a system of the sort Jarrett would hold up as an example.

This is one of a handful of books that I like to recommend to erstwhile transportation geeks along with Vanderbilt’s, Downs’s, and Shoup’s. Disclosure: I had a minuscule role in helping review an early draft of Jarrett’s book.
