Hey! Here's what has helped me with mental health having just been through a rough time...

- Exercise, exercise, exercise.

- Sleep quality. Look at all the sleep tips out there and make sure you are getting good sleep.

- Learn controlled breathing to help when tense. The 4-7-8 breathing when done properly and for 8 good breathes helps me a lot. Be sure to breathe with your stomach (diaphragm breathing) not your chest.

- Meditate (Headspace app, Calm app, Insight Timer, Oak)

- Improved diet, no caffiene, very little alcohol (one drink if out with people)

- Socialise more. Make sure to check in with friends in person and on the phone regularly. Social media doesn't count.

- Try new things, go new places. Meetup.com is great.

- I took up brazilian jiu-jitsu which has been awesome, ticks a lot of the above boxes.

- Look at Maslow's heirarchy of needs. Start at the bottom and start working on improvements for each thing. The world is great with lots of opportunity. If your feeling bad your first port of call is to look at what things your brain and body needs that you aren't getting right now and take action.

- Go and see a therapist and talk it out with someone. It helps a lot just to talk about it. Don't face this alone, there's no need to do that.

- The Youper app is pretty good too.

- Programming is amazing in that everything you need to learn is online and you can do it yourself. It just takes a lot of focus to stick with one thing and see it through. Like others I recommend having an idea for a fairly simple app, game, website whatever that you'd like to build. Pick a popular technology for building that type of thing and go with it.

If you want a rough idea of how popular something is, see how many questions for it have been posted on stackoverflow.com in the last week. https://stackoverflow.com/tags

Forget about being good or doing things the proper way. Just hack your project together little bit by little bit by googling and asking for help on websites like stackoverflow.com and forums. Just build something! It will probably be crappy but you'll learn a ton and be proud of the accomplishment.

That's a huge oversimplification. Who controls when the fridge stops working? Who has the right to end the contract and when? Who decides if the fridge has internet access or not?
Yes. Browse Nodes are essentially product categories. So, users search for the same set of categories. There are ~40K browse nodes in each Amazon domain and we have cached most of them already [1]. So, the cache miss is unlikely here.

But, product cache is little complex. We have already cached the top products [2]. But, products are added every day. So, there will be some amount of cache miss there.

Clever, but it still sounds like it wouldn't add up to that much. They only make a small amount when it connects to a user connected through a small phone company right? Based on this description connecting someone on AT&T in NYC to Verizon in LA wouldn't result in any revenue.
"To do the latter, the wealthy have to give up some of their wealth."

No, this does not follow. It is perfectly possible to ensure that every child has a reasonably good start and every chance to become a productive citizen without stealing from anyone, if only the people who are specifically interested in "evening things out" give up some of their wealth for the purpose. As a bonus, the children then get to grow up in a society where theft and parasitism are not deemed normal and acceptable forms of behavior.

IIRC LLVM relatively recently did a major overhaul of the JIT API, including better support for lazy compilation. That might improve compilation speed drastically
I've been enjoying Chevrolet's "adaptive cruise control" and "lane-keep assist". They both have a lot of room for improvement but are a good step into progressive enhancement, as you put it. I've been imagining different tools that we might start seeing in cars as this kind of product develops: adaptive high beams, rear view and side mirrors that auto-adjust to your gaze, automatic windshield wipers connected to a weather API and an internal camera system that measures visual noise from the windshield, a radar view in the dash so you know where the surrounding cars are... lots of little opportunities. Make the human driver redundant piece by piece.
Have you tried driving a car over a long distance averaging 15mph?

Besides, that bicycle is moving at around half the street speed, while the truck is much nearer the top speed. A 40mph speed is more equivalent.
It is not obvious to me that it's the design warts of x86_64 (wholeheartedly agreed--I don't like x86_64 either) are the cause of the security problems we're seeing. Other architectures also have speculative execution and multiple rings. It's a lot easier to avoid vulns that are a consequence of increased performance demands when performance is not the primary reason people pick your platform.

An enum is a relation, it's just a relation that is not stored in the same kind of table that other data is.

Your example is really a fairly poor strawman. I would suggest something more like a product with a "release date" column, which would be decomposed into a "releases" table with a foreign key. That's the kind of decomposition I've done a lot, and it's usually a useful one.

Another example would be having an "address" field, versus having number, street, apartment/suite, city, state, zip, country. I generally go with address data in a separate, relational table, instead of inline (user_addresses vs on the user table directly), and I've found that to be very useful at times.

In a lot of cases, you actually want a separate table (keyed on the real value, of course, not a generated foreign key) that stores things like zip codes or countries, because there is a lot of ancillary data to associate with them.

If you value homoiconicity, you want all your data to be in as similar a format as possible. Enums are a special case, and so you should avoid them unless you have a strong reason otherwise.
This took about 30 seconds to fact check. Google offers an n1-standard-32 with 32GB RAM, and Azure offers A4MS and B4MS with 32GB of RAM. I can't even find any instances from either provider for 28 or 30 GB.

I would also consider that they want to cancel out any sense of their late-career presence being an endorsement of a place or practices they find unacceptable.

Why though? I'm definitely of the sort that doesn't buy into Stallman's philosophy at all. What's the practical negative impact that I ought to be feeling from engaging in commerce with the usual suspects: Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, etc.? Because to me, it just looks like the (mostly potential/future) downsides are massively outweighed by the (mostly actual/current) upsides.
Not really. We have several ideas going forward, it's just that no experiment so far has produced evidence for them. On the other hand, a null result is still a result. Of course it would be cooler to witness supersymmetric partners, but the fact that we searched and didn't find them at those energies is a result in itself.
Um, no. If I schedule a micro instance in a particular zone and nothing else, for the duration of my timeslice the VM will have to monopolize the core. Optimal use of vCPUs would demand that two VM threads get scheduled to the core to take advantage of HT, which Google says it won’t do. Timeslicing doesn’t solve this problem. At least that’s my reading of what they said.
This thread is rehashing the trade offs of each form or “level” of normalization.

tinder: for how much?

match.com: we will offer you our stock in exchange for yours at a fair valuation.

tinder: okay!

tinder: not fair!
Nah, not really. Real morality maybe. But there are environments where "doing the right thing" will simply fuck you. (I guess you could argue if you were _really_ really strong, you could do the right thing and survive. But that's almost tautological. The point is, the environment you're in may force you to make the choice of "do things you would rather not" or "fail".)

Or, more concisely, hate the game, not the player.
I guess the conference call company is located behind a small rural carrier? Then they can charge the incoming AT&T and Verizon callers 8c each.
Yes.
Looks like it is becoming a common thing with all that startup hype.
You put the conferencing gear in rural telco colos where the termination fee is high.

It’s a public policy (universal service fund) arbitrage play.

Tribalism has been a thing as long as human history has existed and 2 groups of apes both wanted the same banana tree. We have many ways of resolving inter-tribal conflicts, but some just aren't well translated to the internet - primarily because of the consequence free nature of throwing rocks at other tribes. This is changing though - people are moving to more, not less, moderated spaces and communities online. Anonymity only works when there are moderators.

People want to be in a place with common similar beliefs - this isn't a bad thing, its human nature. Its far safer to be around people you know don't like to eat people like you.

The main argument seems to be that because we're not having forced arguments and considerations in meatspace, mano-a-mano, we're not challenged enough. I'd argue we're extremely challenged nowadays, but most of the difficulty is in finding how to deal with the new stage upon with the game is set. Its like arguing that we've lost the ability to form up a cavalry line because of the airplane. You're right in a way, but its irrelevant. The game is changing, and everyone is scrambling to figure out what the new meta is.
On the flip side, I think there are a higher number of small companies willing to pay a bit above market + bonuses for real talent vs. large established companies that are constrained by HR processes. If you're good at selling yourself, you may be able to make more than you would at a big company.

Ward Cunningham is into this kind of thing, and its partly why he semi-retired the original wiki (c2.com) in pursuit of a decentralized wiki. But I don't get his "federated" version.

It's hard enough coordinating centralized content. Forking giant balls of content and creating bunches of parallel versions just makes a messy problem messier. Decentralization won't solve the down-sides of his original wiki. I have various suggestions for dealing with the downsides of that wiki that would take a while to explain, but they include, among other things, easy clone-ability (mass export), and custom "favorites" and "dis-favorites" lists. One could comment on and rank pages/topics/sections on their own server, but otherwise leave the original content centralized. If you like a specific commentator/ranker, you "subscribe" to their particular filter.
There is a case to say that research and valuation is better than following a trend. I’m working on a project to make the research project friction less. I would love feedback on it. A frustration of mine was reading boilerplate text when I read the company risk section. So I applied some machine learning & Natural language processing to extract the unique risks. The way to access it is to visit https://shareseer.com then search for a company name or ticker. You will get the 10k/10 q along with important risks. The other features available are a real time insider transaction feed and a company filings feed:

I too adore libraries, but not everyone has access to one, much less a library with a large collection.
It is not solving a pain point Turkey has. There are no capital controls, black money market, extreme inflation or extreme lack of trust - for Bitcoin to solve.

For that you must go to Argentina and Venezuela. Bitcoin is solving real societal problems there, by simply existing and working as it promises.

This is absolutely untrue. There are many very profitable dating sites and apps. Tinder is a fantastic example of a dating app making money hand over fist since they began monetising, their revenue is in the hundreds of millions per quarter. Tinder is projected to be half of all Match groups revenue this year.

I live in Madison WI. Scooters are quite popular here. People adjust their habits around the seasons. I throw studded tires on my bike and ride through the winter. I have to own that clothing, or I can't go outside at all.

And the lack of outdoor activity isn't limited to the hard winter states. When I lived in Texas, I was often the only person outdoors during the summer.
Great to see this analysis. Especially with the proliferation of ORMs that create relationship tables like confetti it is very useful (and comforting) to know that needing to join a large number of tables is not in and of itself a performance disaster. It does not alleviate all my concerns with join-happy designs, but it is definitely good to know.
Economists distinguish between real and monetary problems. If the government controls a big chunk of the real economy and makes bad decisions -- directing too many resources, say, to last-century commodities like steel and aluminum (the US), or building ghost cities (China) -- the monetary system isn't going to undo that.

But suppose Turkey's problems were entirely monetary, so that an alternative currency really could fix them. That currency has to fulfill some requirements. It must be price-stable enough for people to be willing to hold onto it. It must be convenient enough for people to be willing to use it. It must be widely understood and popular enough (this is a bootrstap or "chicken and egg" problem) that one can expect to be able to buy what one needs, when one needs to, with it.

Bitcoin charges something like $4 per transaction lately, and they take on the order of a day to process. It's unstable, and it's confusing to most people.

Maybe someday, though.
Here is NYT answer:

Two people familiar with the chain of events said that in a conversation with an informal adviser about the mess he had gotten himself into, Mr. Musk said he had taken to Twitter impulsively. He said he had done so because he was not the kind of person who could hold things in, and was angry at the company’s critics. [0]

I've been back and forth between startups and corporations. I think I know what you mean in technical terms; that corporations use more advanced (rigorous) processes and tools and so it feels like you're learning more (it feels more precise/correct) - That said, I think that a lot of the stuff that you learn in big companies are anti-patterns when you consider the big picture; a lot of the time, you learn technical solutions to problems which don't really need to exist to begin with.

For example, one reason why many corporations push really hard on having 100% unit and integration test coverage is because they have such high employee turnover that they can't rely on their engineers to maintain their own code; corporations have to assume that engineers who work on their projects are completely unfamiliar with the code - In this case, automated tests are the only way to maintain the integrity and stability of the code base. The time cost of maintaining all these trivial unit tests is ignored (even though the cost is actually very significant; not to mention that these tests lock down the code and thereby discourage refactoring and experimentation).

Corporate processes are designed around the assumptions that engineers don't care and can't be trusted. This is a very inefficient approach to building software.
Personally, I'd rather my project have code with 0% unit test coverage written by a team of involved engineers than code with 100% test coverage written by a team of indifferent engineers.
On the flip side, he wants to build cars without having to play stupid financial games to satisfy investors each quarter. Tesla are going gangbusters, they will pay back debts and become a real company (ie: making profit) but the financial games where certain expenses are pushed or pulled between quarters to make the books look interesting get in the way of actually ramping up production.
I don't know of any cheap outdoor sensors, they are more tricky than indoor as wind (air flow in the sensor), temperature, humidity and dust become more of a prominent problem.
For a cheap sensor, laser egg publishes API endpoints to get latest data. You can also fairly easily add a plantower to an arduino/raspi kind of setup. Pantower is a sensor that will give you reliable output OOTB, can be improved but good enough.
SGX Remote Attestation was built specifically to deal with events like this. Intel starts to reject attesting to vulnerable microcode revisions after some period following disclosure. In this case, they even postponed disclosure until patched microcode revisions were available and those revisions already required for successful attesation.

If said SGX application wasn't built around this model then it's probably not a valid use case of SGX..
