The scope of software development is so broad I think you could spend 100 years doing it and still not understand everything.

For example, _I_ know what observability data is, but I'd have a difficult time explaining the problem Redux tackles. If you've spent most of your time building user facing apps + web apps, how would you immediately understand a problem that someone working on large scale payment infrastructure has to solve?
Yeah why would Apple go to any Chinese manufacturer where they can get their tech stolen and imitated with encouragement from chinese govt?
I'd just GPL license it and charge for a MIT licensed version for commercial use. Be clear when you relicense it for commercial use though, like if MIT is only for a specific released version or set of versions up to a point or what. Of course technically you can sell GPL software, but they'd have to be willing to provide the code back, which means you benefit off of it to some degree.
I read this a while back on hacker new. It was advice about being a small startup but I think it applies here as well. Pretend to be a establish company and not a startup and people will stop questioning you. People are naturally uneasy with startups because they die so often. That’s why their reflex is to question your founder situation even though they know very little about your company financial. I suspect if you pretend to be a more establish company, they will stop asking.
Industry usually means "using math to analyze" when they say "mathematical analysis."
Uncontrolled population growth is bad (Africa) - infrastructure, ecology, political stability. Lack of skilled workers is bad (technology) - innovation, productivity, economy. It is not one of another. It depends.
I think the point was that the OpenGL framebuffer is ultimately a 2D space. Whatever your input data and computation model, at the end of the data the output from your computation goes into a set of arrays with two index coordinates. That's a fairly specious point, maybe, but it's not wrong.
> [Quantum circuits] do not provide an insight into entanglement

What do you mean? Entanglement occurs whenever the state of a system cannot be factored into a product of the states of its components. Quantum circuits can definitely do that. Just take a qubit, apply the Hadamard gate to it, then CNOT it with a second qubit to get an entangled Bell state. You can see it in action here: http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/GeneratingEntangledQubits/.

Quantum circuits are also used to describe all kinds of quantum algorithms (quantum Fourier transform, Grover’s algorithm, quantum teleportation, etc).
Hhahahahahahahah

It's fairly easy to just ignore dcma requests on private systems though. You throw the letter in the garbage.

Cant currently look for a study, but IIRC the more in tune with your normal circadian rhythm the better - especially if you don’t need any alarm to wake up naturally.

I do recall hearing overnight workers have higher incidences of cancers, disorders, etc., and I’m curious to know if that holds true for people with naturally aberrant circadian rhythms.
Seems odd to have "data center" pitched here, when, as far as I can tell, it is really suitable for any good old large applications. Or does "data center" have some further implications that I'm missing?

They'll work: "The health trend means people will live routinely to 100 in the coming decades, and as long as 150 years, scientists say. That suggests a much longer working life, possibly involving serial careers, and lasting well into our 70s, 80s, and even 100, say researchers with Pearson and Oxford University."

That doesn't match either my experience living in Canada for thirty years, nor does it match the history I have read.

Canada has had an the immigration rate of ~0.7% of the population since at least the 1960s. It's long been among the highest in per capita immigration rates among countries of its size, and it is one of the few western nations in which public support for immigration has remained consistently strong.

> I'm a 3 hour drive from the ocean

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this would be a dealbreak for anyone for whom ocean access is even moderately important. Even the greater Portland, OR area being 2 hours away (assuming no traffic, which is never a safe assumption for those routes) was a big enough impediment to a friend of mine who is a CA expat there, that he considers casual day trips out of the question.

> not as good as the Cascades, but decent

> food here is not as varied as Seattle

Ultimately, I think this is the big takeaway.. there are places that may be way less expensive, as you say, but many amenities (for lack of a better term) are only kinda-sorta comparable if one squints hard enough.

If those amenities are central to ones lifestyle and perception of quality of life, that approximation isn't going to cut it, no matter how cheap it is. Some people may well overestimate the importance of such amenities, but others may underestimate them because they take them for granted, if they've lived in certain West Coast cities long enough.

In Asia, population growth is a problem. Canada can benefit from more people. Vast tracts of empty land; vast, still-untapped natural resources; 37 million people in 9 million square km.; sound infrastructure; educated, productive populace.

India has about 1.3 billion people in under 3.3 million square km. with 1/6 Canada's per capita GDP. Population is a huge problem for them.

If Canada were to double its population in this century, they'd probably be better off. If the World does, we'll be screwed.
> We all rely on open source tools, but lately they're coming exclusively from large companies that can afford to develop it.

Do you have any evidence to support this?

In the age of GitHub and social coding I would have thought that open source is more individuals, and less corporate (percentage-wise) than ever before.

P.S. I work for my self and open source a fair bit. I tend to open source libraries rather than products, which is true for most companies. Facebook open source React, not Facebook.
My trouble stems from your judgement of art you don't seem actively involved in creating, therefore, art you don't understand. I assume you aren't involved in creating it because you are very negative about it. That said, if you want to create it, being able to find resources to create it can continuously be a challenging problem, and this is especially difficult if that's what your survival depends on.
Bonus and stock are inherently volatile. It's totally reasonable to use them towards initial savings, but seems crazy to rely on them for ongoing housing costs. If you're relying on bonus + equity and we enter a downturn, even if you manage to stay employed, you're screwed: employer stock will be worth far less, and bonuses tend to get curtailed when things are tight.

While there's definitely a lot of wiggle room in negotiating equity compensation or earning bonus, the base salary range feels pretty narrow.

Ask HN: What's the best way of learning calculus, if you already know pure math
I'm in an awkward position where I have good familiarity with pure math and don't have a problem doing proofs in e.g. abstract algebra, mathematical logic, theory of computation—but my applied math is pretty badly lacking.

The particular goal I have in mind at the moment is to be able to understand Maxwell's Equations clearly (partly because of their intrinsic and historical interest, partly because I think what I need for that will get me to what I need for other things). I also have a good amount of practice working with vectors and matrices already.

But, whenever I look for resources on calculus and differential equations, they are these massive text books, and I'm looking for something way more concise. I don't need a ton of practice doing calculations with these things (I don't think)—I would probably just use software if it came to it. I just want to be able to understand concepts expressed through them. (I'm also not a fan of videos, but would be open to using some as supplementary material.)

What resources/activities would you recommend to most efficiently re-learn basic calculus, and for the first time learn differential equations. (My top choice so far if I were forced to use a big textbook is Strang's "Calculus".)

My first take on the article was that it would be overwrought feminist apologizing for fraud. It seems considerably more interesting, and plausible, than that. But, of course, I have no way of knowing how true.
It is a shame how quickly the internet loses content. The first few experiments linked in the document lead to 404 pages, even an inline image is 404'ing.

It would have been great if the author of the MSFT article maybe included screenshots or something to preserve the referenced content.

Pittsburgh Bus Bunching (2016)
I've had college students write essays on their phone. Insanity.
You'd better hope we can figure out some higher abstractions for QM, or you can kiss the even-harder problem of biological computing goodbye.

I think there will be, though. I think 99% of the problem is just that we have no hardware yet. It's historically just been too hard to develop algorithms for things we don't have the ability to run yet. I've seen it personally in evolutionary computation [1], and the recent renaissance in AI and ML I believe was largely driven by getting to the point we could actually run these computations in some reasonable period of time. The breakthroughs probably could have happened sooner, except even if you theorized about Deep Learning, nobody would have even been able to use it.

[1]: A professor of mine told a heartbreaking (to me) story of carrying around a deck of cards between several institutions as he progressed through his early academic career, running an evolutionary computation in whatever spare time he could get over the literal years. My crappy, grad-student-grade personal laptop, a cheap piece of crap even for the time (I had to permanently clock the nominally 1GHz CPU down to 500MHz just to keep the thing from burning itself up), could have done the whole thing in minutes, if not seconds. Per Dijkstra, computer science may be about computers as much as astronomy is about telescopes, but I would observe astronomy is pretty hard to work on without telescopes in the end.
Cool! Peanut gallery suggestions:

- The default black-on-dark-grey in the primary pane looks amateurish. Switching out the background color for something lighter (maybe a light beige?) would make a world of difference for first impressions.

- I'd appreciate if the screenshots adapted to my platform, so I could see what the app actually looks like on Windows. But I understand that it'd consume a lot of effort to re-take everything two extra times and keep them all up to date. The Windows/Mac/Linux image at the bottom at least ought to use a platform-appropriate screenshot for each segment.
Empirical with what data? The rich people I know get there not through working harder, but through making better decisions than ordinary people, in particular in figuring out what to work on. You certainly can't just work 10x harder to go from making $1M - $10M - you have to do qualitatively different stuff. Similarly in going from $10M - $100M.

You should try maintaining 4 independent sum variables and summing after the loop so there's no serializing dependency at all. Such a transformation in microbenchmarks is a fun trick to show the power of a proper OOO engine with pipelined instruction units. Assuming no memory problems, one should be able use issue-width*instruction latency independent sum streams without spending more time in the hot loop.

For what it's worth, the vmovdqa only has a 4-wide issue width if it is moving between registers, the memory load has a 2-wide issue width. Floating point adders themselves only have a 1-2 wide issue widths depending on your hardware so it doesn't really matter.
I've not found good alternatives, though of course it doesn't mean my version of what I think the software should do is the best fit for everyone ;)
> So why the the lack of interest from "high growth" HN crowd?

Because it's not a problem that can be solved exclusively with software and marketed as a SaaS or eyeballs ploy.

Your CPU is huge. For example, the highest-performance single-chip Pinnacle ridge (AMD Ryzen 2 2700X) is 213 mm² and has a TDP of 105W. That's roughly an order of magnitude difference.
This is one reason why Apple will either have to eventually cave in and make laptops with touchscreens or just give up and just make ipads (I supposed they could say they will just make both so consumers can choose). They are teaching a generation of people to touch their screen. I see my college students using the touchscreen on their windows laptops all the time (I hardly ever use the touchscreen on my laptop). It is only a matter of time before noting having a touchscreen on a laptop will be seen as a serious deficiency in the eyes of consumers.
> I think that New York is the new model for the new concentration camp, where the camp has been built by the inmates themselves, and the inmates are the guards, and they have this pride in this thing that they’ve built—they’ve built their own prison—and so they exist in a state of schizophrenia where they are both guards and prisoners. And as a result they no longer have—having been lobotomized—the capacity to leave the prison they’ve made or even to see it as a prison.

Sure I can remember. Checking libraries the binary uses ("why this cURL fails
on HTTPs? oh, it's linked against GnuTLS, that explains everything"),
injecting your own library, intercepting a function (maybe syscall, or rather
its libc wrapper), tracing function's execution (ltrace). All these things
merely annoy if you used to have them but now you don't and it's hard to
remember them all, but there's a lot of them.

And then there's also sharing memory between different processes that use the
same library. You don't have that for a statically compiled binary.

Inside means volume? That's not the same unit, so I'm not really sure how to calculate that.

Interestingly, on a per-volume bases, the sun's output is quite low. The sun is just very very large.

And you find the sun is only: 1.383×10^-6 horsepowers per gallon :) Or if you insist: 0.2725 W/m^3, which as you can see is really really low.
Let me give him the benefit of the doubt and suggest he's not talking about direct population control. I think this is reasonable because, well, nobody suggests this.

By giving food and economic aid to African countries (the small portion that actually goes to the people after the dictator filter) we subsidize their birth rate in an unsustainable way. Specifically, if the Western counties that support them have an economic crash, for example, and become no longer able to support them, they'll be left with mouths they can't feed. Mouths they never could feed on their own. It will be a tragic loss of life.

No one ever accused the MBA toting managers of being tech savvy .. or smart, for that matter. /s

Sarcasm aside, in my experience, most managers do not understand technology even at a high level. Even the ones who come from a tech background often don’t bother to keep up. The typical mentality being, “I don’t know and I don’t want to know. Get someone from <insert tech department name here> to handle it.” When the <insert tech department name here> does come up with a solution, it is usually shot down if there is even the slightest hint of risk involved. And there usually is — any disruptive change — as all invocations tend to be — inherently carry a certain amount of risk. Even Steve Jobs was unable to convince the record labels to allow them to sell DRM free music via iTines until Apple had grown too big for them to go against — at least as far as music business was concerned.

Basically, the only things the so called managers are good at are passing around the blame and covering their asses. Way too many companies have been destroyed or are a shell of their former glory - having missed major opportunities because the management was not willing to deal with the risks associated with innovation — because they were content to milk their cash cow till it was dead — while laughing at deficiencies of the more innovative competitors’ version 1.0 products.

The real managers — the people who know what they are doing — go on to found successful tech companies.
