You want to learn more about both pure and applied mathematics. Pure math is very proof heavy which is excellent for self learning because you never have to take anything on faith. Proofs are meant to be very clear explanations.

One of the best resources for learning in this way is to find books that are structured to have you develop the theory via the problem sets. Of the top of my head, Tao's Analysis books and Atiyah & MacDonald's Commutative Algebra book are exemplars of this style. These books often show the basic definitions, some results, and then break up remaining results into step by step problems.

Proofs will be the hardest part to wrap your head around. Once you understand proofs, can read them, the remaining is going to be a question of time. Think of it like programming: you can't learn by reading, lectures, etc. You need to learn by doing. In this case, the doing is doing proofs.

If you say to the user, "sorry but that password is too common - please try again" then the user will simply add a 1 to the end of the password and press submit. That doesn't offer much improvement in security.
It's more than obesity. Diet feeds your gut. Your gut biome, in turn, affects the rest of your body- including your mood, personality, and behavior, in ways you are not anticipating.

My son, if he has a single cookie, will develop raging athletes' foot and become a complete monster for days. When I say monster, I mean violent and completely uncontrollable. Maybe you don't have to deal with it, and for that you should be thankful, but for others, it's a no shit problem that they have to deal with day in and day out. Be thankful, but don't presume that your blessings are bestowed on the rest of humanity.
I'm not obese, but I was.

There is a weird Internet cult that celebrates obesity, but I think plenty who live in the "nothing you can do" camp internalized bad advice, got nowhere with it, and gave up.

But, if I'm a scout for a football team, I don't want to see you in the gym, I want to see you play football. Maybe, ideally, I'd like to see both, but seeing you play football is by far the more important thing.
The date in the article title is wrong. The eclipse will either be Sunday evening January 20 or early Monday morning January 21, depending on where you are. It is visible in the Americas, British Isles, and in most of those parts of Eurasia north of the Arctic Circle.
Last time I had anything to do with a well it was "$5k no matter how deep I go" (granted that was paid in cash) and it was 500ft or so.
I was a homeschooling parent. I also have a stronger math background than average, though it isn't anything impressive for this crowd.

I will suggest you try to find a written curriculum from a respectable source as your first step so you have some idea what you need to cover to meet the stated goal.

Then you will want a variety of study materials for the subjects in question. You will want to verify that these are respected materials that are not full of errors.

When I brushed up on math to CLEP Alegebra so I could take college statistics, the computer program I used for self study had errors in it. I knew enough math that I knew what was wrong. I was just rusty and in need of a bit of practice. But it was a program I did not use with my sons to homeschool them because of the errors.

You want to know which materials math geeks like. You want them vetted, basically.

Then use whatever quality materials most appeal to you. Different strokes for different folks and self study let's you pursue whichever materials you like the best.
You're still not getting it. Even for BFS, which is not a hard problem, the current state of the market is that enough people have memorized the BFS recipe so that the interview doesn't allocate much of any time to it. You're not going to have/be given time to "just derive the algorithm" or "solve problems simply, quickly, and elegantly." You're competing against rote speed, which, if you don't implement BFS all day or haven't recently done interview prep, you don't have and you're definitely going to fail.

I've heard people actually defend these useless interviews on correlation grounds, like people who are docile, follow the herd, and "prepare" are good hard-working workers who also tend to have done well in school or look polished in other aspects of life. That's what these interviews are really looking for. So, if you're not a well known expert, suck it up, be a servile cog and follow the script.
I find a passphrase (e.g., half a dozen words from the diceware list) easier to memorize than random gibberish and symbols, so it's disappointing that they're so rarely allowed.

> ...Especially facial muscles around the eyes.

Just to clarify, you aren't talking about tetany, but say, cheek muscles or perhaps the forehead? Can't say I've seen it myself, but that's just anecdata.

And where can I read more about the proposed metabolic pathway, etiology, etc.?
Right - "attacker gets an old database backup, and wants to escalate to access to the live website" (or perhaps "attacker breaches QA", or something) is a realistic attack model. Take all the known passwords, hash them, match the hashes against the database, look at the next column over to see whose accounts you compromised.
Time (and being watched) do make it very unrealistic, but the other thing missing is that programming now is not like in the 1970's, you don't need to memorize much of anything. If you forget something, you look it up, it takes 30 seconds to remind yourself, "oh, yeah, the queue", and then you go. Testing if you can do it without looking it up is not testing the skills you actually need in order to code well.
I believe for older engineers who regularly read these threads, this is the comment. Wish it weren’t true, but it is.
> What should I choose, pytorch or keras?

I know this is off-topic, but you can't go wrong with Keras. "Deep Learning with Python" by Francois Chollet (the creator of Keras) is a Kernighan-level book. A book like this comes around once a decade (or two). If you decide to go for it though, make sure you don't follow its instructions about the amazon cloud deep learning VM's; you'll end up paying $10 per day, even if you stop the VM.
"IE beat us, let's change the rules of the game."

It doesn't surprise me, after seeing all the other stuff that happens in the web community...
"On a winter morning in 1360, Zen master Kozan Ichikyo gathered together his pupils. Kozan, 77, told them that, upon his death, they should bury his body, perform no ceremony and hold no services in his memory. Sitting in the traditional Zen posture, he then wrote the following:

Empty-handed I entered the world
Barefoot I leave it.
My coming, my going —
Two simple happenings
That got entangled.

After he finished, Kozan gently put down his brush, and then died. He was still sitting upright.

You've got me.

I've surreptitiously built a HN identity for years so that I could finally cash in on that sweet poultry guerilla marketing cash.
I understand that entirely, but I'm asking someone that specifically said they don't type their 64 characters.
As a hiring manager I would be impressed by your background. Unfortunately most will never read that far back. Or worse, not have enough experience to understand someone who can do that can handle the needs of their software as a service CRUD app.
It does support arm, it's one of the primary ways to use sel4.
no, it's mostly historic, I did a project on that topic in the past: https://github.com/nraynaud/webgcode
Now take this analogy one step further: why aren't lawyers asked stupid timed LSAT questions at every job interview? Because they take a really challenging professional exam called the bar, which is a strong base level guarantee of actual knowledge and competence. Software Eng. have been fighting this kind of credentialing because somehow tech is "top innovative" for such standards. Hence the status quo, and why companies like TripleByte see opprtunity.
Is this still dependent on browser adoption? I recently had to transpile a Typescript library via Babel to JavaScript since Chrome didn’t like the original import statements.
Not GP commenter, but a lot of the decisions to remove explicit optionality and requiredness from protocol buffer is that it made pb too complicated to change when you wanted to make a field required or optional, so they punted with 3 and said "do this in service logic"

I think the feeling is that this is the realm of business logic, and a protocol should be simple and fast and not concern itself with the rules part of the underlying service.

Oneof seems to fall under the same concept, where it says "one and only one field from this list" when they can just as easily do that in service or client logic (three fields, documentation and a server response custom written as to the WHY of oneof relationship)
I'm interested in hearing more about that. What were the non-technical requirements that you didn't like?
How dare you add real information to our conversation here. :)

But HN is social media, i.e. a website that would be/do nothing without other people on it also. (I hadn't really thought about that before seeing the books/talks of Clay Shirky, all excellent.)
Regular firings imply a pretty bad hiring process. There's a spectrum between "regularly fire bad hires" and "regularly reject good hires".

Also, what evidence is there that these high-false-negative practices are actually reducing false positives by a significant degree? In these kind of threads I read the same arguments and assertions, with the same lack of evidence, as I hear from people trying to defend airport security theater. I should start calling these practices "interview theater".
Probably still relevant given how SBCL's user guide says (in the only section that includes mention of type inferencing):

"FIXME: The material in the CMUCL manual about getting good performance from the compiler should be reviewed, reformatted in Texinfo, lightly edited for SBCL, and substituted into this manual. In the meantime, the original CMUCL manual is still 95+% correct for the SBCL version of the Python compiler."
I get her point, and this isn’t about pure biology, it’s nutrition which is biology without a lab plus all of the variables of a human population. That’s not to say that sugar isn’t something to be taken in extreme moderation, just that comparing half-assed, p-hacked, poorly controlled and non-replicable studies in social sciences to nutrition studies seems fair.
Hey at least older people have laws that protect them.

Did you know that it is perfectly legal to discriminate against young people?

Yeah sucks to be them, I guess. Apparently nobody cares about discrimination against those people.

Old people are among the richest people in the world. But I guess when things are made fair, and neither young or old people are discriminated against, that appears like "discrimination" against those who are now being treated fairly.
I have browsed the source code and the project's commit messages, but frankly it didn't leave a good impression on me with so much cursing and swearing in the logs. It would help to have an actual README file in place too - the one on Github is empty. Which architectures besides the DreamCast (mentioned in some of the commit logs) are targeted by this implementation?
I've been down that road before, and trust me geopolitical theories are a dead end. Nobody can predict anything, and almost everything written is just an elaborate justification for why whatever is happening today was inevitable. It is disappointing to realize but armchair HN comments are the best you can hope for in this area, as they have the advantage of not being as long to read.
Years ago I was rejected by Google for a permanent position, then a year later employed at a much better rate as a contractor in the same building I'd interviewed in. I'd built a relatively cool app (full stack, from Linux to Tornado to JavaScript to UX), like Secret or YikYak (but a few years before either).

The people in Creative Lab were impressed with the ride range of knowledge I had, the SRE guys who rejected me got stuck into me for mixing up some VMware terminology.
I think PhDs don't necessarily realize how the world rely on them. You're pretty much out of school when you receive a PhD.
Okay, can someone explain why is this a thing? It is a genuine question.

I am not very familiar with OS designs and skimming through the landing page didn't help.

Is it essentially a Linux kernel that runs within an existing instance of Linux? Why is it important/useful?

Thanks.
IMO, this person likes to stir up attention with baseless accusations when her profit-seeking machinations don't work out. I remember there was some makezine drama related to her a couple years back too. Iirc she was whining about not being featured in makezine, and her 'project' was a very simple 'I sewed LEDs into a cooter-shower miniskirt', not really comparable to what usually gets featured in makezine. But of course, makezine ignoring her demand to give her free publicity and consequent potential increase in youtube/patreon earnings constituted sexism.

I'll wait for more details before rushing to conclusions on this one.

This is pretty cool. Have you all looked at the annotations to build pb in kubernetes? They use proto2 so they can use optionality, but they use a lot of annotations to write the pb like this project.
I also use 0 every day. Do you use the BFS every day?
I wrote a custom HashMap for Java, used BFS and DBS on graphs, wrote a top down custom parser, custom string searching algorithms to solve real business problems. I would rather work with someone who knows how neural networks really work rather than who knows pytorch or keras, because they can be learned rather easily. In some industries knowledge of algorithms can be more valuable than knowing a myriad of frameworks that change every few years any way.
Kudos to this team: I was interested in this and began the process - needed to sign up for a Rockset account to follow this tutorial; ran into an issue uploading my collection - and the fact that I needed to get my free account activated:

They replied to my request for access immediately, got me up and running, had a support eng on a Slack channel in minutes and a personal apology from the CEO for the error.

Great fricken customer service!
No I wouldn’t think so. But knowing about a role and angling towards it early if that sounds more interesting is hopefully helpful information.
I work as an applied mathematician writing numerical codes and I prefer to prototype in MATLAB/Octave for a number of reasons:

1. I believe it to be far easier to debug an algorithm in MATLAB/Octave than Python. When I drop into the debugger, I can immediately check things like the eigenvalues of a matrix with a simple "eig(A)" or look at the sparsity visually with "spy(A)". Though this is possible in Python, I believe it to be far easier in MATLAB/Octave because the core mathematical functions are immediately available.

2. MATLAB/Octave link into the good factorization codes directly and provide license coverage in different ways. For example, both codes link into things like SuiteSparse, which gives access to fast Choleski and QR factorizations. These routines have different licenses, but the good ones are dual licensed GPL/Commercial. Octave links into the code under GPL licensing. MATLAB provides a commercial license. This means that I can give a customer MATLAB/Octave code and they can choose whether or not they want license coverage using MATLAB or to release the code under GPL and we don't run afoul with the licenses. Candidly, not having to go off and obtain a second license for SuiteSparse is nice.

3. In my opinion, the C-API in MATLAB/Octave is more sane than Python. It's not great, but the matrices are laid out in a rational method in MATLAB/Octave, so it's really, really easy to link into an old C/C++ or Fortran codes. Often, I've used this trick to debug the C/C++ code because I can more quickly visualize the matrices in MATLAB/Octave than I can using the native language.

As for the difference between MATLAB and Octave, I prefer Octave over MATLAB since:

1. Octave is more sane when dealing with the C-API. MATLAB is not bad, but it can be finicky sometimes and I don't feel like I should have to manually set dbmex on.

2. Octave uses the system version of GCC and does not package it's own. MATLAB does and for many years since MATLAB slow played their GCC version, this was a major annoyance when linking to codes that used C++11/14. MATLAB has done a good job in the last few years of catching up, but I still prefer to use the system compiler.

3. There are bugs in some of the Octave packages. MATLAB tends to have fewer such bugs. Most of the time, it doesn't matter till it does. Just file the bug with Octave. They can be slow, but there are a lot of people who volunteer their time and filing such bugs or helping to fix this is just the cost of this kind of software.

And, look, if you like Python, great. I also work with Python. However, again, for prototyping a technical algorithm, I prefer Octave.
This is a new variant of the porn-blackmail scam, I've been receiving similar E-mails since 2017 after the Bitcoin fever. I guess the scammers have gotten their inspiration from watching Black Mirror since then.
It's backfired at least once, though. There are times when a class-action lawsuit would be significantly cheaper for the company. For example: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/chipotle-mandatory-arbi...

My mother-in-law died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease).

When she passed, my wife, her sister and her husband, and my mother-in-law's ex-husband were with her. I was stroking her hair because I wanted the last thing she felt to be a human touch.

At one moment, she said quite clearly, "I'm ready to get on the train". Not a second or two later, we heard the train whistle (Palo Alto) as it passed the stop near her home. And then she stopped breathing.

Coincidence, of course, but nonetheless lovely.

Nope. They're neither filtering in good ones or filtering out bad ones. They're filtering for people who find a way to hit whatever arbitrary metric the Company sets up as "success", and these people will have many more chances to practice this "skill" in subsequent self reviews and metrics hacking. They also end up running the Company and hiring more like themselves.

I've seen terrible logic errors in biology models as well. It just tends to be drama when I talk about those examples.

I have a form of cystic fibrosis. According to the CF Foundation website (last I looked), my body overproduces mucus and I am drowning in my own mucus and this is why lung clearance methods are prescribed.

I have seen exactly one study that concluded that people with CF actually underproduce mucus. This study makes more logical sense and fits with my first-hand experience that I'm sicker and cough more when my sinuses are too dry. I have more lung issues on days where my sinuses appear to have too little mucus, not too much.

It's more logical because mucus plays a critical role in the immune system in keeping out invaders and people with CF are chronically ill and infected due to a terribly compromised immune system.

I've seen at least two discussions on the internet where women with CF complained about vaginal dryness ruining their sex life. I have yet to see a woman with CF claim she left a mucus trail behind her like a giant garden slug and could comfortably have sex with ten men a day because she's just soaked all the time.

Yet, women with CF also complain of vaginal "goopiness."

Logically, the vaginal goopiness and the gunk filling the lungs of people with CF are both some form of phlegm or pus, not the body overproducing mucus. But that's not what the medical literature states. The medical literature illogically claims that I am merely overproducing mucus and drowning in my own mucus.

I'm getting well when the world says this can't be done, ergo my mental models are probably more accurate than the medical literature.

But I'm a former homemaker, so I am routinely told I'm crazy and making all of that up.

Whether you are talking racism or biology, our mental models for how it works shape outcomes. Weirdly, people seem to often think this is not true for biology.
This. It’s conflicting to see that people who use water for basic needs have a higher water bill than farmers who use it for commercial purposes, and due to the lack of market pricing for bulk water are not incentivized to conserve water even in drought conditions.

The answer is fat -- the majority of your calories necessarily come from either carbs or fats (protein is pretty constant for most people).

So if you cut way down on carbs, gotta go up on the fats, that's just how it works: I eat lots of cheese, full-fat strained ("greek") yogurt, tons of eggs, nuts and peanut butter, tons of olive oil on my salad and vegetables, lots of butter in my scrambled eggs, obviously avocados if you can afford them.

Since fat makes things delicious, it's really pretty easy.

If you're non-dairy or vegan then you don't get as much variety, of course.
