Oath and licensing aside, public trust in doctors isn't great.

Still, some code of ethics and associated incentive structure for tech would be great. But as long as the industry can stay just ahead of legal ramifications and stay solvent... The hostility is an easy hoop to jump through.

On one of the projects I had trouble convincing the company to stay on Java for their application when they were displeased with the performance.

The previous developers were just careless/clueless about performance and when it started becoming a problem they cited good patterns they were following and blamed Java for their problems. The tech lead wanted to rewrite it in C++ which would be suicide IMO.

What I did, I created a graph in a form of horizontal bar which showed color-coded parts of transaction processing. The color codes showed different parts: business logic, frameworks, infrastructure, communication, etc. I then marked a different graph showing which parts of this was unnecessary with some notes of how this can be optimized. You guess, the parts that were not easily optimized away were very hard to find.

In the end we stayed on Java achieving almost two orders of magnitude performance improvement.

You are absolutely right - I was misled by the page I referred to using "n" as the number being factored, and not the size of the problem, which is log_2(n).

So to correct myself, the difficulty factor is 1400 to 1500, and here's the modified Python program, using the simplest change I could:

#!/usr/bin/python

from math import *

ln = log

def complexity( n ):

lnn = ln(2**n)

return exp( \
(64./9)**(1./3) * \
(lnn**(1./3)) * \
(ln(lnn)**(2./3)) \
)

print complexity(762)
print complexity(1024)
print complexity(1024)/complexity(762)

That's not the fastest or best way to compute this, but it's the smallest and cleanest change I could get away with that reflects how I think about this, which is number of bits. A reasonable alternative is in the parent comment to this one.
3Blue1Brown is amazing -- one of the best math explainers I have seen. He also had a good video on other math channels he likes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcgJro0sTiM). It's amazing to see how things have changed over the last couple of years. Earlier, searching for math explanations on YT, I felt like I mostly saw hard-to-follow lectures. Now there's tons of content created specifically for YT and it is really well done.
I'm ok with generalities if they are generally true. Care to substantiate the idea that divorce benefits women or children? The first link that pops up when searching on economic effects of divorce in Google:

http://www.marripedia.org/effects.of.divorce.on.financial.st...

Says among other things: Almost half of American families experience poverty following a divorce,1) and 75 percent of all women who apply for welfare benefits do so because of a disrupted marriage or a disrupted relationship in which they live with a male outside of marriage. ... This study found that single divorced women's median family income dropped 45 percent, while the median income of remarried or cohabiting women was 14 percent lower than before their divorce.

Or this one: http://www.nber.org/digest/jul02/w8786.html

... family income of children whose parents divorce and remain divorced for at least six years falls by 40 to 45 percent. Food consumption is also reduced by 17 percent.

IBM TSM (Spectrum Protect) on Veritas Cluster Server
When the kids are at daycare, you'll get 8 hours a day at work to do your work. One of the hardest challenges I had to overcome after becoming a parent is learning to get everything I need to get done actually done in those 8 hours.

But it's going to be hard, you'll have less sleep. Sometimes I stare at the monitor and my head is so cloudy I have no idea what I need to get done.

To add stress, your younger coworkers are going to be working 10-12 hrs a day, and will probably be more productive than you. You'll look bad, and you'll feel worse.

At about 3 years of age, things start to get better.

Of course that's when my second was born :(

They can only project elements at two depths. I believe they are fixed since the simulated depth would be a function of the diffraction grating built into each layer.
I use Medium sporadically, and I think it's a good platform to use if you don't already have an audience, since it's easy to repost to larger publications and gain distribution.

Once you gain an audience, or if you already have one, then using an open source platform is the way to go.

WordPress is probably the best choice, since the ecosystem is just so much larger than anything else out there. I would really suggest finding a managed service over deploying it on an ec2 instance or something. Security is a constant battle on WordPress sites, and it's just better to have someone else deal with that.

If you don't care about distribution or growing an audience and are just blogging for fun, then something like Hugo might be a good choice.
A Look at Server-Sent Events
Wow, would you be willing to disclose what companies offer that much in Tokyo? Especially for 1 year of experience thats insane.
It certainly is bad in the long term, but I'm talking about the immediate fiscal benefits divorce itself (over being the other party, you obviously end up with less than the sum of your former family resources, anything else would be insane), not the consequences of becoming unmarried. Bad marriages and the capital toll of having children are why we make divorce proceedings lopsided, but even lopsided proceedings can't account for the cost of being unmarried after prioritizing reproduction†.

That being said, the number that says household income decreases 45% seems pretty hopeful. That means that these women end up (in aggregate) making 55% of the income of (potentially) a two-income household. If you're willing to adjust your housing arrangement after a change like that, you'll generally get by just fine†.

As for the food consumption figure (which seems difficult to make numeric, to me [is it normalized by dollars? by calories? by weight?]), I'm sure that was once an important outcome, generally in the U.S. a reduction in overall food consumption of less than one fifth is no disaster†. A reduction in consumption makes sense after a reduction in household income.

Added:

> or a disrupted relationship in which they live with a male outside of marriage

This would seem to mess with the numbers a bit, since generally non-marriage relationship splits (which should be as or more common than divorces, in general†) don't end in a court-mediated property division†, and when they do, it doesn't work out the way that divorce proceedings do†.

† no data to back this up, mostly baseless conjecture.
I find this level of incompetence hard to believe. Is it possible that the company knowingly and intentionally left the collected data and their customers list unprotected to secretly channel it somewhere else? It would at least give them the opportunity to state incompetence if they should ever be accused of selling their customers private data on the dark market.

Google Translate of the German court text quoted in the blog post:

The challenged search and seizure orders and confiscation orders of the district court of Munich were unlawful. As far as they were still valid, they were therefore to be lifted. Moreover, their illegality was ascertained. The applications for surrender of the confiscated objects were also to be granted in this respect. The measures can no longer be considered covered by the Code of Criminal Procedure.
The investigating authorities are right to bring proceedings against the persons responsible for the calls made on the websites cited. However, the assumption made by the investigating authorities that evidence can be found during the search of the data subjects or on the confiscated data carriers is not justified in the known circumstances. There is no sufficient probability of finding relevant data. There is no evidence that those affected, their association onion friends e.V. or the grouping "Riseup Networks" belong only to the environment of unknown offenders. It is also not immediately apparent that they can find information on the perpetrator environment or the perpetrators. The only connection point is the fact that the unknown perpetrators had set up an e-mail account at "Riseup Networks". However, "Riseup Networks" offers (as intended) anonymized Internet services. The account can be set up anonymously (on recommendation). E-mail traffic via the configured account is encrypted. Therefore, there is very little chance of getting information about the perpetrators and acts via "Riseup Networks" and its database. In addition, there is the additional factor that according to the information available so far, those concerned with their association "Zwiebelfreunde e.V." can not be equated with "Riseup Networks". The link exists, as far as can be seen, only in the support of the network by collecting donations

Re regulation: I think regulation wouldn't help Snapchat, as any regulation would also apply to them. Actually, you could even argue that it's harder for a small(er) company to comply to regulation. (And btw. regulation is good, at this point MZ also thinks it's good and wants it.)

Re people think FB is shady: that seems to be true, but FB's MAU and DAU keeps going up, whereas Snapchat's has stalled. Actions speak louder than words, literally.

I'm not saying "Snapchat is f-cked", I'm just saying it will be very tough for them.
Add to that, in return for their monopoly status, they released much of their IP to the public domaian. Imagine if they had held/sold their IP how electronic innovation would have been stifled.

Does this mean they can only overlay elements at two different apparent distances in the environment?

It means the focus distance of objects is idealized at two separate focal points. The objects themselves will lie around or at the idealized focus distance with cutoff points between the two distances. I'm not sure how ML determined the cut off points, but it's probably median defocus point between the two planes.

Are these distances fixed or variable?

Fixed. The only way to very focus infinitely is with a completely different structure, namely a fiber scanning display. See our patent here for an example:

I honestly don't know that there are any posts I get more excited about on HN than Jepsen analyses. The number of landmines distributed systems create and the ability to suss them out in such detail / depth is really incredible. Kudos.
My son get's up at 6am, i'd have to get up at 4am to get 2 hours of productivity in the morning.
I'm a writer by trade. I am routinely told by people on HN that writing is a worthless skill, that if I want to resolve my financial problems I should "get a real job" and I'm generally pissed all over.

Let me suggest that a first step would be to stop sneering at writers and telling them what total fucking losers they are for not being coders.

I briefly tried to get involved with Open Source. It went nowhere in part because of the enormous wall of contempt with which I am routinely met.

I'm a woman and people generally seem to feel that I should do things out of the goodness of my heart and not expect any benefit whatsoever in return. I have been met with open hostility for trying to figure out how to monetize my work, network professionally, etc.

If writers tend to skew female, that may also be a relevant issue to the problem space.

I've spent years desperately poor while people piss all over me for being poor and also piss all over the idea that I could possibly have anything of value to offer. I have six years of college. I was one of the top students of my graduating class. Etc.

As far as I can tell, sexism is a very large factor in my intractable poverty. For any other issue I have, I can find a male example of someone with the same type of issue who was, nonetheless, successful. But women just seem to not be taken seriously professionally, not be treated with the same respect, etc.

I'm angry. I'm less inclined to do stuff for other people than I once was because I have learned the hard way that it simply doesn't come back to me in a positive way in most cases. In fact, I have essentially been told by someone wealthy and powerful that someone I did a lot for continues to use their personal connections to wealthy people to tell lies about me and drag my name through the mud and this snake in the grass is apparently believed.

If Open Source is generally crapping all over writers half as much as I've been crapped on, there's your problem.

AFAIK ラーメン is not a Japanese word. It is Chinese "Lo mein". 中華そば is a effectively a synonym for ラーメン. Also no Japanese restaurant guide lists ラーメン under Japanese cuisine. They either list them on their own or under Chinese cuisine.

I'd say one of the hardest parts is the multiple ways to say every kanji with almost no rules, just memorization. Example: 行, 実行, 行う, 膝行, 売れ行き or 先生, 一生, 芝生, 往生, 千生り, 埴生, 平生, 弥生, 蓬生, 生り, 相生, 下生え, 生える
Yeah, that's exactly the sort of thing that comes to mind and what might make the scheme work: not merely trying to serve an existing market but create an entirely new capability that can then command sufficient margins. Could the military have reusable birds on standby and then just be able to launch them for some specific conflict aiming for a quick lifetime at much lower altitude and with a path and period that wouldn't be known to adversaries? I haven't crunched the math, but in principle it seems like they could launch something stratospheric even, not high enough for a long term stable orbit but in turn could have higher mass and useful new intel gathering potential.

Of course economics still matters here even for the military, it still will be weighed against conventional satellites and spy planes and so on. But a sales pitch of:

>"We can pick up your bird from anywhere with enough runway, fly it to somewhere it can be launched at any time with minimal to zero worries about weather, other air traffic, or bothering (or even being visible to) populated areas, and hit any azimuth (no population overflight concerns either)"

seems like it might be worth something at least. It's certainly somewhat different beyond cost at least, even if it doesn't matter to most. The AF has their own robotic spaceplane project after all, seems like there is at least some interest in this kind of area?
I'm not at yet convinced this was not simply user error in the legal department, or in the department that deployed the microcode to the website. The longer Intel is silent on the issue, the more likely this was their intent.
Slightly tangential but dang, this is the best graph and accompanying explanations of consistency models I've ever seen: https://jepsen.io/consistency
The headset can overlay elements at any distance, but when it does there may be a mismatch between the point your eyes look at and the distance they focus at. This can cause the images you see to appear blurry and out of focus. This is called vergence-accommodation conflict, and it's a common issue in VR and AR.

Magic Leap attempts to address this by having two fixed planes where it can focus the projected images. This does help, but according to reviewers it seems like two fixed planes still isn't enough to eliminate the problem entirely. Future headsets may be able to address this by using more planes, or by allowing the plane(s) to dynamically change focus (varifocal displays).
> especially when they will see that you speak japanese and that you re not a tourist

I've read this many times before that Japanese love a tourist but when they learn you're a resident somehow they turn on you. Not once seen this happen or heard of an incident of it happening to anyone I know.
A decade ago, I soldered a relay directly on the remote to achieve this. It looked terrible with wires hanging out, but it still worked reliably.

Now I just use cheap rf emitters from amazon (you may have to solder an antenna to increase range). As soon as I got an AppleTV, all my switches became available outside my LAN, thanks to Apple Home without having to worry about security.

> FP is great for many little things you might have to do. But for larger architectural considerations, I still find notable advantages to creating custom classes that have their own public API, private internal implementation, and that manage their state internally.

In OCaml, you usually do that with modules. For instance, you can easily write mutable or immutable datatypes that hide their internal representation.

> My favorite language for blending these techniques has become C++

I also like programming languages that embrace several paradigms. The problem with C++ is that it's a very complex language. Compared to C++, OCaml is a piece of cake.
"You are using a straw man"

Huh. I think this is a pretty good illustration of why sarcasm is often not constructive in complex and nuanced discussions.

My use of the phrase "magically increase overnight" was in direct response to a sarcastic use of "abiogenesis". So while I agree it's a straw man, it's not a straw man I was using, it was a straw man in the statement I as refuting, resulting from the kind of hyperbole you often find in sarcasm.

I do find it just a little odd you think this the statement I was making when it was in fact the statement I was refuting. But that may not have been clear, A this is a pretty good illustration of why sarcasm (not in your statement, in the one I responded to) and hyperbole often aren't useful in advancing an argument.

Sarcasm has its place, but it can also be a place where poorly considered arguments find a place to hide.

> If someone can improve the code by tossing away 3 years of my work

But how do you objectively measure "improvement of the code"?

Maybe it's something fairly obvious like better performance, less bugs, etc, but a lot of times it's very hard to tell if there was actually an improvement or just a different way of doing the same thing, except at the added cost of re-implementing those 3 years of work.

And for the record, I agree with you in that you (we) should leave your ego at the door, and if some young whippersnapper can do better than you, then you should be able to leverage that and increase the productivity/performance of the team/company.

However I've seen it happen many times where someone thinks they will improve the code but in reality (like others have said) they don't have the correct context and forget about a lot of stuff that their "improvement" should take into account but doesn't... and then once they do the "aha!" moment kicks in and they realize why it wasn't as easy to improve as they first thought.
