Peak sprint performance is in one's twenties, peak marathon performance is on one's thirties. Source: Usain Bolt and Elioud Kipchoge. You can find tons of finish times with age for running events online to show how the degradation in performance falls slowly with age for marathon times. It's actually hard to find information on sprint times for older competitors because the participation rate is much lower. There is a significant body of research that indicates humans have significant advantages for endurance performance versus other mammals. Born to Run is the classic popular book about the subject and has references to the primary sources.

I think the context of where this came from helps explain the quote (beginning of chapter 1 of Zhuangzi):

> IN THE NORTHERN DARKNESS there is a fish and his name is K'un.1 The K'un is so huge I don't know how many thousand li he measures. He changes and becomes a bird whose name is P'eng. The back of the P'eng measures I don't know how many thousand li across and, when he rises up and flies off, his wings are like clouds all over the sky.

The big bird is so huge that it is alien to the smaller ecosystems below it. In the same way, CEOs and upper management are so "huge" (at the top of the hierarchy) that their choices seem incomprehensible from the point of e.g. a junior dev. Maybe they good or bad choices, but in any case their day-to-day choices are different from a single developer's.

> The cicada and the little dove laugh at this, saying, "When we make an effort and fly up, we can get as far as the elm or the sapanwood tree, but sometimes we don't make it and just fall down on the ground. Now how is anyone going to go ninety thousand li to the south!"

Here the small creatures make fun of the bird, not exactly understanding its world or experiences, but instead comparing the Peng's actions and natural inclinations to their own. A dove has no need to travel thousands of miles, which is a short trip for the Peng.

In the GP's comment, the novice programmer "stares in wonder at the bird" because - in the same way - his day-to-day experience is so different from the people who run Corporate Headquarters. The Master Programmer knows that CH is "doing it's thing" so to speak, or just following its own nature. Any attempt to understand the machinations and decisions of upper management from the viewpoint of a programmer simply doesn't work, so they do not bother to think about it.
Looking forward to this but my Scottish granny has been doing this for years for a few certain things.

Flexbox is a layout system for 1D content. CSS Grid is for 2D content, but it's designed in such a way that it can remain responsive to different container sizes, unlike <table>. This actually makes it pretty complicated and unwieldy, because - once more for the people in the back - doing a responsive layout in explicitly 2D terms is a very weird thing to be doing and usually isn't what you actually want.
What is Aiven supposed to do about a bug in Timescale that is still open?

Aiven is great if you don't need the superuser access. They will run some bigger plans on local SSDs and allow you to create replicas and migrate across clouds and regions easily. It's a great way to run multi-cloud without shipping the data yourself. True that they could use more alerting features on resource usage.

GCP managed services of open products are highly unrecommended for this exact reason of being very behind or even obsolete with very limited customization and control. Stick with BigTable, BigQuery, Dataflow and run the rest yourselfs on GCE/GKE.
Was similarly lukewarm to the change. I actually only made the change because I was having resource issues with chrome and bookmark interactions would lock the screen for a few hundred milliseconds - tried everything. Eventually you just blame the vendor and switch.

Luckily our contracts state we only support maintained, supported browsers (not sure the exact language). So once Microsoft ends support for IE11 it'll be gone the same day. The majority of our users (users and clients are different people) are on a modern browser, but when the client goes to test they are normally on ie11 which gives so many headaches.
I’ll be the outlier: I’m working on learning Chicken Scheme, because it’s a new paradigm and most of the libraries and frameworks I need are already there.

So far, I’m surprised at how easy it is to get started writing a web app with the Awful framework (for my fairly simple needs, it’s anything but awful). Then again, I’m not employed as a programmer, so I’m not evaluating new languages based solely on practicality.

But the comment you replied to mentioned how moving to a place could change your personality even as an adult.
In CUDA PTX, there is an instruction called "shfl.sync.idx", which allows you to shuffle data between threads arbitrarily. However, this shuffling is only efficient if you follow a variety of rules: avoiding bank conflicts and so forth.

Lets say you have 32-threads of a Warp running. Thread0, Thread1, Thread2, etc. etc. Now lets say they all have a variable named "x".

Thread0.x, Thread1.x, Thread2.x, etc. etc.

What "shfl.sync" does, is it allows these "x" variables to be shuffled between all threads in one step.

// Parallel and synchronous: All threads swap
// values arbitrarily. This is a simple "rotate",
// but all combinations are legal for a shuffle

Thread0.x = Thread13.x
Thread1.x = Thread14.x
Thread2.x = Thread15.x
Thread3.x = Thread16.x
...
Thread30.x = Thread11.x
Thread32.x = Thread12.x

That's a swizzle. Now the descriptions on the right? The 15, 16, 17, etc. etc. can be any combination. You can broadcast (have Thread1.x copied to all 32 other threads). You can rotate, you can shuffle. All 32^32 specifications of CUDA-thread transfers is legal.

Now, it may be legal, but broadcasts are slower due to bank conflicts. So following the special rules to make fast swizzles is an annoying task for sure. This paper helps the programmer create optimal swizzles for their program.

TL;DR: GPUs have a rich set of highly-efficient data movement operations. They are easy to use, but hard to optimize. Paper presents concepts that help optimize them automatically.
The sibling thread said traffic/criminal, which typically means one of two things... reckless driving (excessive speed or other dangerous driving) OR DUI/drunk-driving.

Reckless can often be pled down to a non-criminal, or if not, is usually a punishment as you describe.

DUI is quite a bit more serious.

Either way, typically a legal practice that handles one will handle the other. And in both cases, you will need legal counsel, as failure to do so can result in jail time.
One factor that seems to be under-represented in the comments so far is that less affluent people don't have time to run.

As you probably know, endurance running requires a significant time commitment. Anyone training for a marathon needs to run several hours a week. I suspect that affluent people have more leisure time, and that it can be more conveniently arranged to match a runner's schedule.

It also requires a not-insignificant investment in nutrition. Less affluent people in the US already have trouble eating healthy food--training for a marathon could increase the required food intake by about 30%, which would have a meaningful impact on household budgets.

Finally, blue-collar workers are less likely to have pent-up physical energy. It's likely that they've already spent all day on their feet, and would rather invest their leisure time in a less physically demanding activity. White-collar workers have been sitting in a chair all day, and the ones who don't get into endurance sports (or similar) are likely to become obese.

Obviously, all of the above is based purely on wild conjecture, but it doesn't seem implausible.
They are not nearly anywhere on same scale.

There are ~1400 app releases in App Store per day (all of them need to be reviewed, checked for compatibility etc. etc.).

There are ~2 million apps which have to be hosted, checked, delivered etc.

Then there are push notifications. During WWDC'12 (yes, 7 years ago) Apple was pushing 7 billion notifications daily.

In comparison: Epic store has 4 apps.

In tech? Pedigree gets your foot in the door. If you can bypass that bottleneck, it doesn’t matter after you have been a few years out of college.
I remember when I started noticing that the occasional time a newspaper wrote about something I knew something about, they usually got some vital details wrong, that really undermined my trust in that newspaper. I've got a better newspaper now, but that first one is generally regarded as a pretty decent one. But when they always get the details about stuff I know wrong, how well can I trust the articles about things I don't know?

Of course it's also possible I only remember the times they get it wrong, and I don't notice the many times they get it right when writing about something I know something about, leading me to underestimate the paper's accuracy.

I'm sure somebody somewhere is willing to make up a name for that effect too.

That's the kind of info that would be quite fun and informative to look at.

> "Not to excuse it" comes out because your brain feels the need to say that, in the same way.

No. Its not the same thing. People who say "I'm not racist but ..." are attempting a pre-emptive distraction from their own breaking of a social norm. I wasn't doing that. And you have no idea know what my "brain feels the need to say". I don't even know why you'd think you do.

I could have written "I think he was the product of the different times he lived through. That doesn't excuse his behaviour, but I think it explains it." But I was short of time: that's all.

And I'm going to leave it at that.
I'm not sure about that. I've seen that police dogs are capable of picking up the bias of the officer(s) they accompany or are trained by due to body language signals and training bias[0]. This can be worked against as the article points out, but the fact that it is a problem has me uncertain that I support their usage without widespread training and protocol that prevents this issue (instead of limited training). Because the personnel in the airport have limited searching capability that fact reduces your probability of being searched, the dogs then increase your probability of being searched if you are a victim of bias expressed by the officer and dog.

We're not talking about a couple of people in white coats here. It takes a full-on chemical plant to supply enough sulfuric to satisfy a fab, and unless you're going to throw a ton of stuff away, this plant is going to produce a lot of other chemicals that are of no interest to the fab. That's not to say a vertically integrated conglomerate couldn't own both a fab and a chemical plant -- this is the rule rather than the exception in Japan and Korea -- but these are two separate industrial concerns.
> But good luck making an input, button and select the same height. It's just not going to be pixel perfect. What is pixel perfect in your browser isn't in others.

It's... actually incredibly easy to do that. You just disable the browser's default styles for those elements and then set their height explicitly.

There is a certain interpretation of "pixel perfect" which, I agree, isn't really feasible or worth trying to achieve, and that's when it comes to layout. You can hardcode the dimensions of "atomic" elements like buttons and inputs all you want, but if you start giving hard pixel widths to containers that should be adjusting their size according to their content and surroundings, you're going to get yourself into trouble real fast. I think designers these days have mostly started to grasp this, though.
Not interested as in you don’t pass the interview? If you have several years of experience people should be knocking down your doors to recruit you.

> recycling those containers seems to be much closer to zero-waste than whatever this is.

I'm skeptical that any community really recycles all the plastic that gets sent for recycling. Especially now that china isn't taking our trash. Personal care products like lotion and shampoo are always going to be heavily contaminated with the products, and probably need extra work.
What language do you suggest? The GCed languages aren't real time (yes there are hard real time GCs, but they come at the cost of overall perf and close to an order of magnitude more memory usage which is a non starter for many embedded boards). Rust support for AVR isn't mainlined and is frequently broken. It's Xtensa (ie. esp8266) support is basically non-existent.

Did I miss another option?
That error can creep in to diagnostics though. You can be at a 5 times increased risk for a very rare disease and it’s still overwhelmingly unlikely you have the disease.

Sometimes testing positive on a fairly accurate test for a very rare condition means you are still more likely to not have the condition, and even Doctors sometimes screw that logic up.

Challenges and Tips for Taking Legacy Systems to the Cloud
> and when you make art you aren't necessarily looking for the precise. Some people just throw random objects on their patches and wire them almost randomly until it sounds good ; writing the patch is entirely part of the artistic process. That's a completely different mindset that "client wants feature X in Y time, what's the most easy way for me to achieve it".

You're right in that art is guided by a different set of goals than client work -- it's inherently more exploratory.

But it's inaccurate (and unfair) to call it imprecise. (Also unfair to assume artists work "randomly.") If you're an artist who cares about your work, you put a tremendous amount of effort into achieving your vision just as you see it. If a tool fails to work as you need it to, you'll abandon the tool, whether it's a paintbrush, a chisel, or Max/MSP.

The fact that two major commercial sound programming environments are visual doesn't necessarily mean people who use them don't understand computers and are just randomly throwing crap at the wall: It means they work best for the professionals who use them to get their creative work done. They are, after all, relatively expensive pieces of software.

(It's also inaccurate to assume artists and musicians don't ever have programming ability. I'll point to myself as an example.)
ledger is garbage and their software falls over if too many people are using it. Why do I know this? Their customer service literally told me that I cant access my wallet because too many people are trying to use the software. As a silly consequence I was not able to update the firmware.

You can use JavaScript to extend CSS, to make it a higher-level language and _more_ declarative. CSS has live-updating variables in it which can be set and re-set from CSS, from HTML, and also in realtime from JavaScript. This means we can also include concepts from Reactive Programming and expose the streams of data directly to CSS in ways it can harness for styling purposes.

You can also extend selectors and at-rules in ways that allow you to define new, custom features, supported by JavaScript, and utilized from valid CSS stylesheets.

Given all this power and flexibility, you can go a long way toward turning CSS into the "styling language of your dreams". When you're extending CSS you also get to pick all the naming you work with as well.

Rather than trying to replace CSS, or abstract CSS away, it turns out the friendliest solution is to start with valid CSS and continue building on top it from there.

I had a friend who said the same thing about Google when they first IPOed. His suggestion was that they should take their new cash and just go buy a real business so they're real (specifically suggested AOL Time Warner). This was a trader at one of the world's biggest hedge funds. He went on to have a very successful career in finance nonetheless. It's hard to make predictions about things we don't understand. A lot of our expertise isn't transferable to other domains and we sometimes overestimate the generalizability of our expertise.

Doubters and cheerleaders are both likely to be wrong and there is also so much you can't predict about the boarder environment businesses must operate in. Sometimes even the best of us fail and the most incompetent of us get lucky once in a while.
Actually, if I recall correctly after only 5 years, your first sentence is correct. It doesn't matter how many symbols your alphabet has (i.e. base system used in application) because they can all be represented using binary. I don't recall anything about "optimum discernment" just that it is convenient to standardize proofs using a binary alphabet. For example, Huffman coding is proved using binary but it easily applies to ternary systems as well.
