Micro-optimizing Go Code
I spent all of my mom’s quarters in the basement of the local flea market playing “Afterburner” (with the motorized arcade cabinet). Was also way into Top Gun. Can attest to your hypothesis.
That's nice. The Mayans were also known for child sacrifices too...
I just count upwards normally, so it's not a lot of mental work and I can let my mind wander. I also imagine myself hitting the snooze button on my alarm. Nothing makes me fall asleep faster than needing to be awake.
I sometimes read less rigorously to determine whether the paper deserves a rigorous reading. However, I don't get much out of a casual reading. This may be a quirk of my brain: maybe ADHD tendencies at play, or maybe I really need to go slow and internalize the content.

I see some people can read quickly and get some benefit, but I don't really envy them. I think going slow and struggling with the material teaches me more. I am reminded of Haruki Murakami.

On his book "What I Talk About When I Talk About Running", he says roughly the following. Gifted writers write without effort; everywhere they touch in the ground the water pours. Other writers have to strive (he gives himself as an example); they have to learn to dig wells to get to the water. But when the water dries (inspiration leaves) for the gifted writer (which happens sooner or later), he becomes stuck and clueless because he has not trained for this. On the other hand, under the same situation, the other type of writer knows how to keep going and succeed.

So I am not too worried about my slowness :-)
It sounds like what the Navy misses isn't so much the F-14 as the AIM-54 Phoenix (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIM-54_Phoenix), the long-range air-to-air missile paired with the F-14 that let the Tomcat knock down airborne threats much further out than the F-18 can.
Considering the cost of one of the new aircraft, I think it’s understandable that everyone tries to stay away from doing anything untested unless they really have to…
Server side we have a mongodb database that contains the list of all the searchable objects. It is generated mostly using common stars and nebulae catalogs.

For streaming the data with good performances we also have an amazon S3 instance where we store compressed tiles of data. Each tile contains information about objects in a small region of the sky inside a given magnitude range, so when the user zoom in and out, we can download only the tiles of the visible portions of the sky.

That's how we can render the whole Gaia catalog, containing about 1 billion stars. You can try it: zoom in, and you will see the stars being loaded on the fly.
Which big ads networks? Can you give examples?
Yup something like this works for me too. I close my eyes and imagine a dark void of nothing. If my mine wanders off I refocus on the dark void again. If my mind is still too active, I have a boring book at hand that I read for a few minutes to clear my mind and get me tired. Then I try again.
Interesting timing. I thought I'd check out ASMR recently and, wow, the videos I found were bad. Like, really bad. I completely gave up on it as a medium after giving a half dozen different videos a shot, and went back to rainymood (although I'd love to find some delightful newspaper crinkling or Scottish accents).

For reference, here's the videos that served as my introduction to ASMR:

* "ASMR: My Treasured Darling [Irish Accent] [Gaelic] [3D Sound][TLC]" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJiojl9ixRw

* "Zen ASMR | Typing & Soft/Whisper | Coding: Python | # 1" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWMYKfiNYts

* "ASMR Keyboard Sound 1H (No Talking)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6noMxePbj6w

* "ASMR Paper sounds , Old book , Crinkling ( No Talking )" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgtbr5oQeQw

* "ASMR~ Fixing You {Keyboard Sounds}" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEpBdb-RGRM

* "ASMR Ear to Ear Whisper About C Programming for Relaxation (Layered Typing Sounds) Pt. 1" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrFegNHpHfc

To people who enjoy ASMR: are these videos just especially bad videos, or am I just not doing it right / appreciating it right? FWIW, I quit each video after a minute or two, after skipping around to see if they get any better. The thing that bothers me the most is when there's these ridiculously long spaces between words (maybe.. for emphasis?), but comes across as them just not knowing what to say, which is extremely offputting. OTOH, it's in every video i've watched so far so I don't know if it's intentional.
You're right, the process does start from the higher coefficients, and so does not really support the ordering presented.

You either need to use foldr to defer the multiply-and-add until the end of the list is processed, or reverse the list before processing it.
Wouldn't those drones have to be completely autonomous -- not merely unmanned -- in any conflict with a real peer (e.g., Russia or China)?

And if so, are we there yet, technologically speaking? I.e., not just peacetime autonomy but actually dealing with a combat situation -- possibly with friendlies in the skies -- completely autonomously? My impression the last time I talked with a uniform about this was that the answer is still no.
I almost always fall asleep within two minutes after going to bed. For some period I used a breathing technique, where I would breath deeply for some 20 seconds, and then just hold my breath and fall asleep.
Currently, there are about 2 millions searchable deep sky objects, plus all the Hipparcos star catalog (about 100,000 stars).

If you zoom in you can actually see the entirely of Gaia dr2 catalog (about 1 billion sources, mostly stars).

We also have most of the major solar system bodies.

It’s a lovely product and you can tell a lot of work went into making this course. But I fail to understand the author’s logic behind “a good course has to be free”. Why though? What’s wrong with creating value (like The OP) and then extracting it from the people that benefit from it?

In fact, there’s tons of anecdotal evidence that free MOOCS haven’t faired well in terms of retention precisely because of a lack of a buy-in from the people taking those courses.
I was expecting a lot more code, you guys did a great job cleaning up and reducing the original desktop codebase.
Also, if you own Android, no need for Google maps. They are already tracking your mobile location. Scanning WiFi in the background. They know you are having dinner at some hotel because WiFi found its network while scanning. It doesn't matter if your WiFi is off.
As for the database size consideration, it will most likely be an issue once we start to support queries into the Gaia catalog (about 500GB of data). There are some ways to make it work though.
It only looks stupid if you assume that in the next real war that em based communications will work like they do in peacetime. If you assume that the next war will be fought with continual jamming on all frequencies, then it doesn't look so stupid.
Yes, there is. But we'll go through a lot of hoops to make you prove that you own that account. Literally every day people try to steal domains from Cloudflare by claiming to be someone and contacting support.
I'm very impressed by those docs. Anyone has insights how they were made?

Looks like they were partly generated, otherwise it would be impossible to keep everything consistent - especially with the many language examples. They also seem to generate an OpenApi Spec (or use this as a basis for generating the docs?): https://github.com/stripe/openapi
A small detail, but Lodash is also globally available on their doc page. So if you see a piece of documentation and want to experiment with it, you just hit Ctrl-Shift-I and start typing.

It's a tiny thing that saves me a lot of time.
You know the saying “X doesn’t grow on trees”? Water literally falls from the sky. Sure, there are some parts of the world where it is in short supply, but where it is abundant, there is virtually no impact of overuse in a family setting.

Comparing it to food doesn’t make sense because food has to be planted, watered, fertilized, harvested, and transported. Water that falls into a local reservoir takes a negligible amount of energy by comparison.
Military policy isn't civilian driven. The Pentagon drives the policy, as well as the weapons decisions. The surprise is when the civilians actually do exert some control--such as in preventing the USAF from scrapping the A-10, fighting the USAF on cancelling the the JSTARs recap, or when they force extra Littoral Combat Ships on the navy against their will :)

> In fact, it was not Debian's wording, but Greg Kroah-Hartman's

Ah, thanks for the correction. I was under the impression it was Debian speaking. I still think it's an odd way to describe the group in question (those running vanilla kernels), but there's less negative connotation since the obvious benefactor of that wording wasn't responsible for the statement.

That said, it's clear that some of my prior statements were erroneous.

> Interestingly, Google ditched Ubuntu for Debian in January 2018[2], which means, that the entire Google internal engineering environment is now based on Debian.

Interesting. I wonder if they did an easy-upgrade for the Goobuntu installs, or if it's just for new installs. To my knowledge, Google has a recommended Linux distro, and developers can choose it or choose another supported distro if they have reason (i.e. There are devs running windows and OS X). In that type of situation, I would think some portion of developers might have switched quickly, others as they had problems and needed a reinstall, and finally new hires. There's probably a good mix of the two distros, which will shift towards the new one consistently over time. It will undoubtedly increase install numbers though, as it's not a small amount of people.

I still wish we had some better numbers on this. :/
The drones do not need to be fully autonomous. See https://www.realcleardefense.com/articles/2014/11/05/is_a_mi...
I usually see the opposite effect, at least on HN: the more extreme a view, the more likely to be downvoted/ignored.

Directly center/nuetral is usually ignored, and the main upvoting comes through slightly, but not strongly, shifted from the center. Even on being on the wrong side of things, dissent is usually limited but mostly nuetral

But then again, my stronger opinions tend to be on the wrong side of things, though rarely commenting on political hot-topics(these are more like claiming the best way to shop for things is to first filter on whether their marketing is up to snuff: if they tried to advertise and managed a shitshow, probably their whole operation is just as bad.. got a lot of shit for defending that one)

> and revert back to my black space. As long as I kept fighting the temptation for my mind to wander

I do the same, but sometimes - when your mind is racing, full of thoughts - this can be hard. I found if I have an equivalent to the black void, which is more interesting, then I don't have to have this fight. Sleep comes easily.

I am fascinated by black holes. So I imagine flying close to the center of the Milky Way, nearing the black hole. Might be nerdy, but it works fine for me.
You also don’t have to sign in to Google Maps or connect it with “you” on iPhone. It’s sandboxed unless you opt in to allowing it to use your location all the time.
Can you explain when to really use a lateral join?
ASMR is a tingling sensation that can be triggered by reasons as varied as the people listening. For example, some people never get it from audio but only from interacting with others, like listening to someone tell a story or explain something in detail. Usually people's first experience is by accident and something they recall later rather than a purposeful attempt through youtube videos.

If you like rainymood then perhaps your trigger is rain and weather sounds, and these other videos (which admittedly look low quality) are just not your thing. There's also a lot of content out there so you'll have to put in some effort into finding what works for you.
Out of interest, how do you tend to structure the org-files? Do you enjoy reading long-form text at a laptop/desk?

I’ve made a few attempts to do this (often with org-mode, pdf-tools, and interleave-mode), but I’ve always gone back to printing and scribbling on paper. It just feels more natural, but my notes end up being more ephemeral.

I’d like to be able to sync and search my notes very much, however! Any tips?
> People only go down rabbit holes when they don't have a manager breathing down their neck all day.

I've experienced this first hand. If I can't find a basket of Easter eggs within the 30 minutes of my journey into a rabbit hole, I have to backtrack and move on to something else. I do not feel this limitation when I'm at home, doing things on my own volition.
Whispering is only 1 of an infinite number of ASMR triggers. Everyone has their own thing. It's strange to wish for it to disappear without even seemingly understanding it in the first place.
Did you have a look at https://www.windowfunctions.com ? Their exercises were a great introduction for me.

I also discovered the ability to select from multiple tables and do joins using where clauses instead, which to me is a lot more intuitive than explicit/imperative join statements. I didn’t see anything covering queries like those (maybe because there’s only one table in the dataset, idk i’m on mobile).
How are you guys constructing the DB from the catalog? Do you plan to grow it?
I've used tmux on a daily basis for about four years and have no idea what -t or -s do. My workflow is from a single machine, where I don't need to have multiple sessions - just different windows. For any remote sessions, I just use screen. Doing so has the added benefit of not conflicting with others' workflows, which are likely screen-bound.

tmux's defaults are pretty much universally thought of as awful. Change ctrl-b fo ctrl-a and find some plugins that you like. Also, consider swapping Ctrl and capslock!

My conf: https://github.com/red-bin/dotfiles/blob/master/tmux.conf
I've always found interacting with clients to more satisfying than interacting with a manager. Managers have a probability of feeling like unnecessary middlemen, which presents a conundrum because they are your manager.
The lesson here is, do tons of shit if you want to sleep well, not that parent is a boss.
Fancy Canceled Stamps That Recorded Daily Life in a Connecticut Town
Pity the Phoenix was never tested under actual battle conditions. Even the shoot down of the Sukhois (which inspired the opening scene of Top Gun) was done with the older AIM-9 Sidewinders.

Interesting proposition, but I don't know how effective BVR air to air missiles would have been?
We are. We always have. We always will. Behind all this liberal, geeky, nerdy and well-educated facade of ours, we are all greedy and quietly frustrated souls.
> I hope this isn't a dumb question

Definitely not : )

> but is there a name for that style of testing and do their exist categories of systems for which it is commonly used

I don't know but I guess parallell deployment, production testing (hehe) or something.

I guess I learned about it here on HN but I've heard similar approaches elsewhere.

Three concrete systems I can think of that has been tested in similar but not identical ways:

- trajectory calculation systems for some space probe (I forgot the details) where two separate vendors where tasked with writing software and their software where then run in parallel in a simulation of possible trajectories to root out any bugs. Mentioned as an example to point out an extreme variant of testing, probably by someone here on HN or in something linked to from HN.

- a vendor running testing of bag sorting equipment on an airport. Probably told me from a colleague of mine at the time who knew them. AFAIK they'd rerun batches and verify the outputs, making sure the new system produced similar or better results.

- an API testing service, probably mentioned here on HN as well, tjat worked by firing three similar requests for each resource and method: two to a deployment of the old system and one to the new. The two that were fired against the old would be used to find parts of the response that changed from request to request (time stamps etc) and the the rest of the response would be used as a template to verify the response from the new system.

more generally capturing and reusing production input or running two sets of services in parallel in a data center, - or across datacenters: the existing system as usual and the system under test with only input data.
You can definitely do the same with Google, but yes more targeting is available as you spend more. Companies spending 8 figures with DBM/AdX get direct access to the bid stream to do whatever targeting they want.
Which timezones are eligible for REMOTE positions?
In gcc, the compiler proper still generates assembly instead of machine code. It then calls the system assembler (which is usually from gnu binutils) to generate machine code.
I have the same problem often, I really enjoy (as I'm sure many of us do) time to myself to think, so being alone with my thoughts and willing myself to relax and not to think of the millions of things I'd like to is akin to telling someone not to eat sweets while dangling a cornetto in front of them.

Even where water is abundant, actual household water is usually purified, and the wastewater is processed as well. Neither of these is free.
Hmm, sometimes I wake up in few minutes after falling asleep and realize that my mind did exactly what you described, but without my intent. Just quickly changing thoughts with no focus, as if gc started its mark phase.
I agree with your sentiment, but I find the analogy to La Sagrada Familia funny, in that is has still not been finished, it's a black hole for money, and you can see, clearly, it's a hodge-podge of styles... All characteristics that might not be good for your software project.

OpenApi 3.0 is quite nice to work with. Its verbose to write by hand, though and you also need to know JSONSchema. With the Swagger UI we've had some mixed experiences. Not everything you can express in the Spec is displayed very well. But for developers, it's a nice playground / entrypoint for backend projects. We wouldn't want to miss that. (You also get this for GraphQL with the GraphQL Playground)

One of the most important features of an API Doc is that it tells the complete truth and is always up to date. An OpenApi Spec therefore really "wants" to be auto-generated. There we've had mixed experiences, aswell. If the generator is not working as expected or missing a feature important to you, you're either limited or you take on generating it yourself.

I've used an approach a while ago, I was quite happy with, but it took some effort: Everything API related has one definitite source of truth. Out of that, generate the docs, example and specs you need. Also use this for validation. For Documentation, I've used a wiki. The generated docs or code snippets were generated as Templates, and could be embedded/transcluded in the documentation, which was otherwise hand-written. This provided a nice mix of written and generated content with full flexibility.
It’s not about taking general search from Google. It’s about picking off high value search.

Your random searches are not that valuable from a monetization standpoint. Searches that lead people to buy things are. Those searches are easy to pick off on a category by category basis. I had no idea that Google actually took up most of the screen on mobile with ads for products for sell until this thread. I’ve had Ad blocking on for just that long.

I never start a product search on Amazon unless I know the exact product I want. With headphones, I’d be likely to care about reviews in audiophile magazines long before I’d enter the noise of Amazon. I don’t generally use Amazon for product discovery, but except perhaps for paper books and I want related titles to something.
No, it's not the same as doing that for women or black people.

People lie about their gifted child to get them exposure all the time. People doing that with art comes to mind. Or even just a parent doing assignments for their kid.

You're not being creative enough if you can't imagine a world in which someone would lie about something on the internet for attention.

Who actually searches for such a short tail term and expects good results? Does anyone ever google the term “cars” when they want to buy a car? More likely it’s a term like “8 seat SUV” or something more focused. Maybe headphones are different though..
