Or a bit better rolling off the tongue “Seat-Meat”.

[Edit] Although to add, in English "Seat-Meat" is more a pejorative whereas in German it's a compliment saying you have _the_ Meat which can endure the implied demands and staying power it takes to handle that seat.

I have spent many (>100) hours with Windows 10 over the past three years. Everything I want to do is a special-case silo; after three simultaneous installs of Git, VS Code still complains that it needs yet another alternative stack.

Cywin, Chocolatey, GitHub Desktop App, Windows Subsystem for Linux...

I feel like Dr. Evil's son Scott. Everything is so damn complex!

So many features.

Microsoft Dev Team blog posts announcing stuff are pages and pages of great documentation. Linux dev posts are shorter, people write simple examples, expect you to engage with code samples of your own. Apple devs post nothing at all.

MacOS provides a most effective desktop environment that has careful graphic design, hosts some damn fine applications, and a Bash command-line interface to the actual system.

Solaris would have grown into this, they were very close.
I would pay to be able to make onenote only use the local filesystem and not be allowed to connect to the internet at all except when I manually decide to. Their syncing is garbage!

> We seem to want ... live on forever

My humble opinion is that people have not thought that enough. I mean, eternity is a damn long time. I can somehow imagine my brain/consciousness/whatnot to find new and interesting stuff to engage with for a few thousand years, and that is stretching it a lot. Much more likely we are talking about a few hundred years and there is a real possibility that I am completely fed up with this world before I turn 100 years old.

And now let's start stacking those years. So, say a billion years. Meaning a million thousand year periods. I get shivers just thinking I should be hanging around that long. And what comes to eternity, we have not even started yet.

I can't think of eternal life as being anything but worst imaginable hell (regardless whether it would be in heaven or hell).

(Admittably, I would be curious to know how how the story of humanity progresses and most likely ends at some point)
I'm in a similar boat with my app and we've found success by implementing the MomTest (http://momtestbook.com/). The premise is that your users are well-intentioned and will tell you what you want to hear, just like your mom would. To work around this, you employ the MomTest- basically you avoid all questions with words like "would you", "do you", etc because they lead to red herrings and reassuring dead ends. You ask questions about their real experiences relating to the problem you're trying to solve so that you can deduce the rest. Your mileage may vary but since you have some existing users, you might consider doing this to extract some useful data about them.

> In one setup, I used std::strings of length 64 and in the other I used 64 bit numbers. The main motivation behind measuring both numbers and strings was that comparing 64 bit numbers takes a constant number of clock cycles

> But with Google, nothing is yet stopping me from going to DuckDuckGo

Sure but Google has been so successful that Googling something on the internet is a thing, and most none tech oriented folks will revert to Google when doing a websearch. It is a de facto in a monopolistic position in the search market on the global scale when considering North America/Europe.

Oof. There's probably some compounding factors that make it more difficult, but usually getting GC pauses <500ms isn't that hard with current-gen collectors. Either being very careful with CMS, or just feeding G1 a lot of memory.
On the other hand it makes you think twice about using hashtables, which IMHO is a good thing... :-)

The different between "traditional" A/B testing and Multi-Armed Bandit has nothing to do with the number of treatments. A/B is really shorthand for A/B/n.

In an A/B test, the probability of selecting an "arm" (a treatment to show to the visitor) is equally distributed. Google Optimizer differs by adjusting the traffic distribution, sending more traffic to better performing options, what's usually called MAB approach.

The difference is that MABs will more quickly converge on the "winning" variation, but are more likely to get stuck in a local minimum. EG, if an "worse" option performs better right off the bat, the MAB might send most traffic to it. This would take a while for the algorithm to "recover".

The major advantages of the MAB approach are minimizing opportunity costs and the ability to capture seasonality because you can continuously run tests. Traditional split testing runs for a while, gets a result, and moves on. With a MAB, you can assign an "explore" budget that keeps tests running in the background to capture the seasonal/periodic change in conversions.

That comes with a cost: every visitor who doesn't see your best page is lost revenue.
Theranos was a running scandal for the past year of two, it's the last kind of company, and last kind of woman you'd want to use as example for your daugther.

Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.

...except when it involves investor's money.

Some takeaways after reading Bad Blood:

1. Listen to people.

2. If you're 19 with a great idea and investors willing to support it, ask for help.

3. Cumulative moral lapses will become a slippery slope.

4. If you're building something to sell to the medical industry, for goodness sake get some medical professionals in there.

5. Don't learn your leadership techniques from a Steve Jobs biography.

6. Don't sleep with someone and make them president of the company (or vice-versa).

7. Strive for diverse opinions instead of some yes men (and groupthink).

8. Fabricating results that can impact human lives will bring on the free press, the FDA, the SEC, and the FBI like a sack of bricks.

Off-topic, but for anyone who didn't know, Bardeen really was one of the great theoretical physicists of the 20th century: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bardeen . Which makes this all the more remarkable: http://www.physics.umd.edu/courses/Phys798S/anlage/Phys798SA... .
The issue I have with cellphones is I've routinely seen people browsing Facebook or chatting to their friends. This lasts for _hours_, as in 1pm-6pm with overtime all while others working extremely hard.
Smalltalk has a concept of changesets. They can approximate diffs/patches.

And while the code is exposed in code browsers (some kind of IDE/text editor window) in the image, and not exposed as text files, they certainly can be. So I'd imagine it's just a matter of exposing those into files (or still classes and methods as separate "entities") and commit those into git with a bit of markup.
Yeah, CMS is great until it isn't, and then it ruins your whole day. A bit of a black art to get tuned well, too, and when your workload changes slightly your tuning is no longer effective and the world stops for 30+ seconds. Hopefully ZGC will be more like G1 in terms of "feed it some extra memory and set a latency target" being all the tuning you need most of the time.
I believe Monticello has been the mainstream Smalltalk VCS for some time, but I don't know much about it:

> why don’t we split the data sets to train and update the coefficients and automate the process.

What you just stated is just a pipeline. You can just split the data and train it and automate with tree ensemble that aren't boosting that is if you're talking about doing in parallel.

If you're just saying split and do as batch process in different time interval you can do that with nonparametric bayesian.

CS contribution in creating Deep learning and having it be the best accurate algo for certain data domain is pretty nice. But again Stat care a lot more than prediction.
hmmmm.... not so true... My grand mother worked in a school... my mother worked in an university... even my wife and sister work.. I know so many women who work. All these women are not from a big city. so, let us not stereotype it.
I work in digital D politics professionally. I can't tell you how many Congressman use multiple @yahoo or whatever personal email accounts, social, and wordpress accounts with very guessable and repeated passwords. Even the young 'savvy' ones.

And I know this because the creds are shared in plain text with multiple people over email (like me) or put into a shared google doc.

We enforce 2fa for our consultancy staff. I would love to enforce it for campaigns but I can guarantee endless problems and troubleshooting especially needy candidates calling because they can't figure out how to get their email.

Another big problem is shitty wordpress sites filled with plugins. Literally I see $10k sites (FEC reports!) designed using a $100 paid drag and drop theme with even more plugins thrown on top. It's a big pet peeve of mine and when I can I move clients to a static plain html site hosted on s3 or similar.

My big concern here is if you have write access to wordpress I could see a scenario where you could upload say verification-hash.html and then reclaim ownership of a domain or regain access to email. Or perhaps some turst attack domain.com/my-innocent-file-has-virus.file

The main D voter file GUI (votebuilder) which all campaigns use to contact voters and work with voterfile data does have 2fa but it's still only SMS. This is my real name so I don't want to throw too much public shade, but let's just say when I have to work with campaign data stored in van first thing I do is export out.

ActBlue which is increasingly the monopoly online fundraising app in my experience has good engineering and for me personally they are the only 'tech' provider for Dems that I jive with (don't get me started on NGPVAN or maybe do, but over PM). AB has 2fa token support, though they should make it mandatory given that if you have AB login access you can do a lot of damage (I've actually had this conversation with them about campaign provided js that shows up on donate pages, putting on separate cookie domain, iframe etc).
But the whole point of the image approach is that it's not just code, but also data, no? It would seem that it'd require some multiple-file text-based serialization format for images that would include both code and data, and would split it into files in a way reflecting the typical change patterns...
It's a good thing to not provide a support contact without a login? What planet are you living on? And you want other tech providers to follow suite and hide their support channels?
It's some deep state shit for sure. Senators, Kissenger, Bechtel, DOD wonks. And on the heels of Iraq and Enron.

My spider sense is telling me that they tried to bank on some stolen technology, before it had a chance to ripen, and it possibly turned out to be a spiked tidbit of intellectual property, for which they lacked the degree of expertise to explicitly verify, first hand.

Somewhere behind the scenes, I'd hazard a guess that some ostentatiously sensitive, seemingly profitable information was stolen or leaked as a matter of industrial/corporate espionage, but the joke was on those that would try to use it. Maybe it was rumored to have changed hands a few times, and sources and leakers were obfuscated enough to sell it. It seemed like some kind of golden goose, but was planted as bait, set to spring a trap that would explode and expose channels of corruption.

Why else would so many recognizable names bet so heavily on this? Billions of dollars? Why without due dillingence? Where did the root of all this trust originate from?

It reeks of an odd combination of cult intrigue, and a total fuck up in intellectual property theft. Compare it to the capacitor plague [0], to get an idea of what I'm driving at.

Well yeah that was my point. :)
Yeah, I'd much prefer:

Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything. Especially investor's money, because that's what it's there for. Except when it comes to lives and health of other people. Make no compromises there, no sacrifices.
You are right, I prefer highly scalable and proven in production open-source tools, such as Redis and Postgres, to managed services by some cloud provider. It comes as very little overhead, if you pick the right tools and master them, then re-use.

But I understand your point about just connecting a bunch of APIs and being done with it, if you personally don't own the product, or if you are expecting to sell it soon.

A nitpick: I don't host my own object storage, I just pick S3 alternatives that provide standard APIs to access them.
It also has the best motto on the internet: The very definition of class.
A lot of it boils down to different priorities at different ages. If I had started Facebook at 19 and Yahoo offered me $1 billion for it, I probably would have made the same decision Zuckerberg did and say that running Facebook is more fun than having $1 billion. If I founded Facebook today, I’d take the first offer that put >$10 million and run off to play with my kids, and you’d never have heard of Facebook again.
I generally value tptacek's comments on security matters, but this position doesn't make sense to me.

When Apple decides to take away an app I paid for, I have no security to block them. When Apple decides to quit posting security updates, I'm out of luck. When Google reaches in and takes my location data without permission, I can't stop them.

With open software, there's no guarantee I'm more secure. But when some security issue does come to my attention, I'm more likely to have some say in how I respond. Somebody claims to have a more secure or privacy-respecting driver? Strongly recommended by experts I trust? I'll look into it. With Apple, I can't. There is no such alternative.

The ssl lib has known vulnerabilities? Wait for Apple? Or install some shim until there's a fix? Oh wait, on Apple devices, you don't have an option.

Apple is not only closed. It's walled. As the owner I am kept on the wrong side of the wall. And there are parties on the other side of the wall that I don't want to be on that side.

This is a security model that is hard to lose to. If Purism let's me control the wall, I'd say that's a welcome change.
>Copy rights were to help creators earn return on their creation. Today copy rights extend far beyond the natural life of the creator and are constantly being extended to favor corporations/owners, at the expense of the commons.

Just playing devils advocate: if most copyright nowadays belong to corporations, and corporations are immortal entities, perhaps eternal copyright makes sense? Not saying that's a good thing.
I would still argue that it is harder to pass amendments in Australia, based on the simple fact that America passed 10 constitutional amendments in the first 2 years of the US Constitution being active (which is more than Australia has passed in 117 years) and that of the 33 amendments that have been proposed 27 of them were accepted (which is a much higher success rate than Australia's 8 passed out of 44 proposed).

So while purely looking at the proportion of YES votes needed and ignoring who is casting the votes, you might be able to argue it could be harder to get something passed in the US because in Australia it requires a super-majority of the public (which is generally a smaller percentage than a majority of 3/4ths of states) which means that it is not purely the role of the government to decide the rules that restrict the government's power. This means that the concern of a constitutional bill of rights in Australia being "pointless" because it would be easy for the government to overturn doesn't make much sense.
Yup, that there sure is the manual.

It's not 100% wrong. "Everything is an object" comes with some extra memory overhead, plus some GC accounting. Most garbage collectors need a decent amount of "slack" space to avoid OOM or long STW collections as well. So, I could see Java needing 1.5-4x the memory of C++ pretty easily anyways.

I specifically use the email host I use because there is no way to recover a lost account. If you lose the password - too bad! The owner does not process password resets and there is no way to recover your account. The host makes this very clear that you are in charge of never misplacing or forgetting your password. It removes an entire attack vector - social engineering a password reset.

It is very much something I wish more companies would do, or at least let users opt into. "Never under any circumstances reset my password no matter how much I might beg you to." Only tangentially related to support as a whole but more directly related to "being able to recover an account".
Does anybody know the differences with IPFS? https://ipfs.io/
The quality of life there isn't as high imo. Taipei has a better funded education and healthcare system. Bali hospitals, first hand experience, don't even come close.

Taiwan is essentially a first world country at a discount. Their populace is largely well educated (last I checked at 99% literate) and there are tons of engineers and entrepreneurs for me to engage with.

It really is just a different class of country.
