I imagine it would be very difficult to teach a topic no one is familiar with by teaching how to test it _first_. A TDD approach to teaching a brand new topic would be very hard to follow and require the viewer to go back to re-watch the testing portion. (Imagine teaching a total beginner how to test a function before teaching them what a function even is...)

However, I think there's a lot of validity to the idea that every tutorial should include lessons on how to test it that new topic, and even give examples of how to implement a TDD approach. But those lessons would (IMO) have to come after the initial parts of the tutorial that taught the concept first.

Are we really poor? Or are we just badly managing ourselves? Seriously, in a country as naturally rich as India, there is no reason for people to be emaciated with poverty during peacetime. If only we had more passionate people willing to stamp out inefficiency and corruption. And btw, passion is not over-hyped - in my experience, it's almost vital when trying to improve your own or society's situation.
Ex-Asana here. Asana has written about the lack of leveled titles in the past[0]. I believe the use of titles is a separate issue to pay transparency. At around the same time, there was an effort to improve the transparency in pay bands. I have since left (for unrelated reasons), and so I cannot definitively speak to whether that was successful.

One possibility is that the BCI will allow powerful interaction of the sort simply not possible now based on using brain activations as supervision for understanding material in a way which transports those extremely complex abstractions into the computer in a software-understandable way: https://www.reddit.com/r/reinforcementlearning/comments/9pwy...

To give a quick random example: imagine the BCI records your global activations as you read that Reddit post about deep learning augmented by EEG/MRI/etc data; a year later while reading HN about something AI, you want to leave a comment & think to yourself 'what was that thing about using labels from brain imaging' which produces similar activations and the BCI immediately pulls up 10 hits in a sidebar, and you glance over and realize the top one is the post you were thinking of and you can immediately start rereading it. And then of course your brain activations could be decoded into a text summary for the comment which you can slightly edit and then post...

This is a result of Rust attempting to be "social ecosystem" instead of a "useful programming language". Sigh.

If you really wanted to improve the current website, make the "Featuring" bullets actually change the code in the runbox. Now THAT would be impressive so that people can actually see what all the fuss actually looks like.

As for the new site, I'll leave the cosmetics to people far more qualified to judge.

However, as someone who works in embedded and has been tracking Rust, the idea of putting "Embedded" on the front page and trying to advertise Rust as a useful embedded language isn't just laughable--it's dangerous. Rust is so far from useful in embedded that people who try to use it will NEVER come back and they will report to their managers that it shouldn't even be looked at for another 5-10 years.

Until I can sit down with a sparkly new Windows 10 VM, plug my board in via USB, fire of a Windows installer, double-click on a selection dialog for my current evaluation board, watch it crunch and then pop up a Debug windows with an LED blinking, we're not even at the starting line. (Most environments for embedded now are pretty good about this--getting your blinking LED really is the "Hello, World!" equivalent).

That's not compile time metaprogramming at all, it's just series of wrapped closures. It's basically the sequence of function call names preceding that call backwards, with different capitalization.
Big disclaimer: my experiences are limited, and compiler comparisons are going to be highly variable, depending on the particular code bases.

That said, I have a statistics model that has to be fit thousands (millions?) of times. As a baseline, running it using JAGS (a popular tool for Gibbs sampling) for a given number of iterations and chains in parallel took >160 seconds.

The same model in Julia took 520 ms, g++ & gfortran 480 ms, and ifort took 495 ms.

The code I compiled with g++ used vector intrinsics and SLEEF. Not exactly a revelation that code like that will be fast. But part of my point is that C++ easily lets you take measures like that when you want more performance or control, therefore it is more optimizable. Switching to a commercial compiler wasn't an automatic performance boon.

All else equal, I'd much prefer sticking with an open source compiler suite. I also won't be a student with access to the Intel compilers for much longer.

The actual model is addressing a fun problem (improving the accuracy of satellite-space debris collision probability estimates), and I'm organizing some of it into a "Gibbs Sampling" presentation for tomorrow, so I could put the material online.

I think additinonally, conversely, dystopian fiction is reflective of political attitudes - if you're in a repressive country and want to criticise the government, then you can write a fictional work criticising some other government - examples include "Memoirs found in a bathtub" by Stanislaw Lem and "We" by Zamyatin.
Design choices, to be blunt.

Some of it is simple stuff, like CPython being interpreted, so PyPy get's a huge boost by JITting.

Some of it is much harder stuff, like the way Python is designed to store objects in memory (a list is a pointer to a contiguous space of pointers to things that might be pointers...), and everything that hangs off each object (everything has a dict), and the awful GIL ([0]). Awful for performance, great for thread-safety.

Every single part of a language design has trade-offs. It depends on what you're trying to do whether or not they help you, or hinder you.

Sometimes you change how you're doing things because priorities change, and get a radical improvement, like Python's 3.6 Dict. Most of the time, you don't. One step at a time. Not being able to break backwards compatibility hinders the designer, if they realise a trade-off they've made was a mistake. So you get stuck with some features you'd rather not have.

Good question! I wasn't experienced enough to realise its value on projects where it would have been great. And since then I haven't done any projects that it makes sense for: Smaller projects built by a one-person team that value quick experimentation and iteration above all else. Now that my work has shipped and the robots are happily doing their robot things, I can go and harden it all before the team grows significantly next year.

I'm curious, why not just use Firefox Multi-Account Container[1] and setup Facebook and Google to open in its own container[3]?

The way I see Facebook Container (as an outside who have been using Multi-Account Container for a while) is that it tried to ride on the Delete Facebook wave few months ago to make people aware of Multi-Account Container functionality, so these Google Container/Reddit Container/etc. always seems weird to me.

Speaking of underlying motives... you strongly imply that Heron was not a significant improvement on Storm and doesn’t “work well for end users.” Without evidence. Why?

Re: motives,

“Heron grew out of real concerns Twitter was having with its large deployment of Storm topologies. These included difficulties with profiling and reasoning about Storm workers when scaled at the data level and at a topology level, the static nature of resource allocation in comparison to a system that runs on Mesos or YARN, lack of back-pressure support, and more.”

“Although Twitter could have adopted Apache Spark or Apache Flink, that would have involved rewriting all of Twitter's existing code.”[1]

Probably referring to the Synapse Media Player, which had a million-dollar buyout offer from Microsoft while Zuckerburg was in high school. IIRC he didn't actually sell it though; it was still a going project under Zuckerburg's control when he created FB, and just kinda died out because FB held more potential.

When the NYT first published "Delay, Deny and Deflect" [1], Sandberg pretended she didn't know anything about it and promised to investigate.

Later, she claimed the investigation turned up emails about Facebook's deceptive practices that "crossed her desk" [2], but made it sound like her involvement was peripheral and incidental.

Naturally, now we learn those were all lies, and she was personally involved the entire time actually leading the effort.

Just more Delay, Deny and Deflect.

Pick a Montessori book for parents, the general method in a practical sense is get your child do things on their own and stay curious about learning.

How to Talk so Your Kids Will Listen is one book to consider for kids 8 or older.

I would highly recommend the How to Teach Your Baby to Read book and other books by that author. There are some nuggets of gold in there for teaching and this method works best starting at 12 months.
I believe it is referring to things like stock option buybacks, so that early employees can reap some of the rewards from their equity compensation.

It may not directly help investors, who are buying into the company as a whole. It may just be an important tool to holding quality talent, to help Asana be as valuable as it can be in the long run.

However, from a monetary perspective, the investors are willing to buy in today at $1.5B. Option buybacks are usually at less than full valuation. Employees are trading value for a sure payout today. Therefore, using the money to buy back those options from early employees reduces outstanding shares and options and improves the value of remaining investors' ownership.

Hmm. I'm a little skeptical when medical phenomenon are ascribed to social factors, but I don't really know either way.

I wonder if anyone has studied whether ADHD rates are influenced at all by type of schooling. I'd love to know whether KIPP (which is very heavy on "sit and focus") or Montessori (which isn't) have particularly different rates of ADHD diagnosis for their students.

Could go either way. Maybe focus is a skill that can be learned, and by drilling it you would reduce rates of ADHD? Maybe focusing is annoying, and if kids have to do it too often, they'll stop wanting to learn or focus on anything? Or maybe it's mostly biological or chemical, and the rates would be roughly the same?

I don't strongly share your intuitions, but I'd absolutely support someone giving a shot at testing the impact of schooling type on ADHD rates, validating you if your intuitions are right, or just adding more information if you aren't.
Speaking as an Australian living in the US, it's a little bit different. Australians are used to the higher price of food, have been trained not to expect table service, have a rigorous set of laws around underpaying trainees and teens, have endemic "under the counter" wage fraud to avoid taxes and the minimum wage, and don't feel morally obliged to tip their expensive waiters and waitresses.

Maybe if America slowly increased the minimum wage at inflation + 10% each year, it would end up in the same place as Australia. Right now, US social rules and expectations are set up around a low minimum wage, and doubling that minimum wage overnight might rock the boat a lot.
> significantly better for your argument to work.

No you misinterpreted my point. It has to be significantly better than what already exists at the time of creation. Java was this to C++ in the 90s and early 2000s. Go is not that language.
There’s probably some debate we could be having about the Tao of action in general. And you’re right that the best intended use of force reverberates back in unintended ways. Your second paragraph sounds like a mix of concerns about Vietnam and Iraq, but it’s mostly just vague.

I don't think Go pushes maintainable code. It's simple. That's it. Most of the code bases I see have no layers. As long as you write once and forget, you're fine. After that Go's lack of structure with functions for structs just floating freely in the source file makes things hard to manage. The community's extension of the language to prefer 1 or 2 large files per package makes things worse. The lack of an explicit interface implementation makes it hard to jump to the interface definition of a function on a concretion.
That's why I posed it as a question and mentioned the spectrum that this sits on. Facebook got lucky in some ways, I don't think Zuckerberg meant to create artificial scarcity when it launched, I think he was growing it deliberately but the effect was unintended.

Facebook started with Harvard students. Then Boston area colleges, Ivy League, then it was expanded to most universities with a .edu domain. You didn't need invites (Google's preferred method), just to be a member of the right kind of institution. It launched to the public at large in 2006.

Those first couple years, a lot of the use of Facebook was reconnecting with old friends. High school classmates, or if you'd graduated but still had a university email your fellow college classmates. This was a distinct endeavor from Myspace. It was explicitly about connecting people who shared a particular geographic or institutional social context (not any context, school). There were no bands, no autoplaying music. Just you and people you may or may not know connecting to each other.

Now, they obviously intended to grow it into something larger. And they have done a great job with it. Here's the question:

The choice to open it to universities was obviously deliberate, but was the intent to test scaling Facebook or to create an initial critical mass of likeminded, like-aged individuals?

My wager is on the former, though I could be proven wrong. That initial smaller but focused group is what allowed them to successfully compete.

Luck: They stumbled onto a successful model for building a from-scratch social network with their focused approach.

Skill: They intended to be focused on college-aged students believing it would build their critical mass social network more effectively.
As a small business I was trying to compete with awkward or overly expensive “sex machines” for the niche kink market. Our closest competitor sold for $2k, and my bom cost was $200, so hopefully 2x-5x lower BOM cost than the competitor.
Identity Protection with Consent in Digital KYC
Importance of Consent during KYC Verification

It is legally required for service providers to ask for users’ consent before they provide services to them. This backs up the notion that the real choice and control of data lies with the end-user. Along with this, it ups the client-provider trust, enhancing the legitimacy and authenticity of the service provider in the process.

GDPR sets a high bar for getting users’ consent prior to providing them a service. It entails making the consent process as transparent, simple and clear, as possible so there remain no doubts that the customer is allowing the service provider to use and process their personal information and PII data for the purposes of enabling the business services for the customer.

What is consent?

Consent doesn’t just entail asking the user for their permission to use their data for service provision. Keeping a record of consent (for future uses), and making sure that consent status remains up to date.

How to ask for it?

Asking for user’s consent before providing them with a service is a legally acceptable method of data processing with user’s permission. This consent is not asked for before making it amply clear as to what reason the consent is being taken for. The clients are properly informed about their right to withdraw or reject their consent. Lastly, it is ensured that the consent is never necessary for the provision of a service.

How to record it?

GDPR required the companies and businesses to maintain a record of the time and method of consent acquisition from the client, ensuring complete transparency.

How to manage it?

Consent management entails keeping a track of the consents already taken from the users. They need to be reviewed on a regular basis in order to ensure that the consent status remains the same.

Here's an interesting article I came across that talks about consent acquisition using biometrics.<https://shuftipro.com/blogs/biometric-consent-authentication/>
Why are you not going thru your ambassador for these issues?
I'm not going to list politically-charged examples because that's highly unlikely to lead to productive discussion and everyone here knows it.

I'm not knowledgeable about philosophy or metaphysics but is there even anything approaching consensus on whether or not there even is a "knowledge ceiling" that an individual or even society could ever achieve? (If so, I'd love to know how anyone came to that conclusion lol)

>Science had its "protestant" moment - it was called the Enlightenment, and it result from questioning the dogma of settled knowledge as promulgated by religions through the infallibility of scripture.

You seem to have misunderstood the analogy I was making. I'm a practicing Roman Catholic, yet view Protestantism as having been a positive thing for Christianity as a whole, including Roman Catholicism. When is dogmatic belief in whatever passes for "science" these days going to be scrutinized? Systemic corruption of any sufficiently powerful institution of man is inevitable, and just because the scientific method is about as pure of a means of reasoning about the world around us as we can come up with and has led to profound advancements in technology and our understanding of our world... doesn't mean that everyone's just going to ignore the fact that using the now-widespread dogmatic belief in its infallibility is a pretty powerful means of achieving external political and personal goals unrelated to the pursuit of truth. It's naive to think otherwise.
