Suppose: I sent you the money, you call the shipping guys and notify them that it's time to ship the goods. That's all.

I don't see why the shipping company needs to verify anything themselves - they just need a call from the owner of the goods directing the shipment.
LD_PRELOAD is extremely helpful in troubleshooting libraries. Around 2007, qsort on RHEL was slower than SUSE. I raised a case with Redhat along with a test case; but Redhat was not helpful, as it was not reproducible.

So, I copied glibc.so from a SUSE machine to that RHEL machine and ran the test case with LD_PRELOAD, compared with the RHEL glibc. I showed these results to Redhat. Eventually, a patch was applied to glibc on their side.

The article didn't mention Nordine's most-famous work (at least from a national standpoint), which was probably a long series of Levi's commercials in the '80s and the commercials for the first big wine cooler: California Cooler.

Jupyter has docstrings and autocomplete for dot calls - I just tried your Series.str.contains example in JupyterLab 0.32.

And in general my experience with the documentation and autocomplete has been the exact opposite - way better than the other environments that I've used (VScode, Atom, Spyder). Also nicer than RStudio, which isn't RStudio's fault but more due to R not having dot calls and the documentation being less user-friendly than Python's.
I didn't say it always will, just that it has so far.

I find this useful and wish it was used more, but I have to say that I've seen it discouraged in coding guidelines. Another thing is that ASCII drawings can be easily destroyed by the auto formatter.

I think ASCII drawings should be used as an aid but not as a replacement for a textual description. If you use ASCII art on a website W3C recommends providing a text alternative [1].

No need to cast aspersions on 'elites' and 'corporate interests', what is pressuring them is that the ratio of the amount of money coming in to that going out, has to be maintained at a certain level for Google to remain Google. They really have only two choices there, either sell more ads (generally means putting ads on more things, or coming up with new ways to charge for new things like being in the 'shopping' box on product searches) or cut costs which means shutting down projects, reducing staff, Etc. Depending on how you look at it, Google gets something like one 500th of what they used to get for an ad on their web site.
I'm in your boat. I get hit up by Google 3-4 times a year. I was interested once and did the pre-screening. When I got their prep packet I looked it over and then promptly canceled my interview. I wasn't going to review stuff I've never used throughout my 10+ year career.

I'm a big fan of not wasting time, which I why I get stuff done at work and have been promoted twice at my current company in the past 3 years. As a sibling commenter suggests, if Google wants employees who blindly do what they're told, then I wouldn't be a good culture fit. I was taught critical thinking skills in school. Respectfully questioning my superiors' plans from time to time has been a valuable skill.
One wonders what the CTO does then.

> that's not what generates money and unless my value increased my salary wouldn't move. He wanted me to become a better mentor, to be better at juggling budgets and at dealing with clients.

How does being a better mentor "generate money"? If your workload "doubled", that means you were doing the work of 2 people, no? (or similar). it doesn't generate money, but that saves money they might otherwise have spent.

Unless "dealing with clients" means "getting them to spend more money", "dealing with clients" doesn't generate more money (and... depending on how its done, can be a financial loss).

On "taking an hour... before tackling..." - that hour is tackling the problem, no? Just with a "code after it's been thought about some" approach, but it's tackling it all the same.
Cool idea and great execution! The paper airplanes are a nice touch.

I can't remember the source, but I think it relates to misinformation that 80s/90s kids were taught - that we were running out of landfill space. My understanding is that landfills don't use much land per capita and that their environmental impact really isn't bad in terms of poisoning ground water and such.

My beef is that (at least the general US population) isn't aware of what the resources required to produce packaging vs. the packaged item are. Probably the plastic packing on that 1/2 pound of bacon has a small carbon footprint compared to the meat inside, but I can only guess.

CTO is going to be looking for a while given these demanded qualifications. Maybe he should have tried some mentoring himself.

Of course, none of this actually happened. It's just a made up story from some nobody tech influencer. There's a kernel of truth, which is that focus on larger business of objectives are important to keep in mind if you want to have a big impact. But there's a lot of BS wrapped around that kernel in this article.
In most cases, designing for maintainability and reducing the likelihood of future bugs is more important than maximizing speed.

Or to put it another way, the human costs of maintenance and bugfixing are usually large, and may even be the largest costs on a project.

I wouldn't say that it is constant, as the energy consumption has been increasing. However, it does not depend on the efficiency of the hardware being used.

Think of bitcoin mining as a raffle. You can buy as many raffle tickets as you want, and so can everybody else. Each raffle ticket costs $1, and so people buy tickets until the prizes start getting spread out too much. The next day, though, the raffle tickets are only 10 cents apiece. However, the prizes are still the same, so the break-even point is still the same when expressed in dollar value. As a result, the same amount of money is spent, just buying 10x as many raffle tickets.

In this analogy, each hash performed by the miners is buying a raffle ticket. The block reward is the prize at the end of the raffle. Going from CPU mining to GPU mining to ASIC mining each increase the efficiency of performing a hash, analogous to lowering the price of a raffle ticket. Just as lowering the price of each raffle ticket results in an increase in the number of ticket sales without changing the total value of ticket sales, so decreasing the cost of each hash results in an increased number of hashes performed, without changing the total amount of electricity spent to perform those hashes.
Gotcha. Thanks for the information. I also went to UMD and was not aware of this trend.
I hated code reviews when I first had to do them because it was a toxic place. I hate them less upon focusing on what you describe. I'll add to it that I've taken a more conversational tone. Sometimes I'll just add comments to talk about how this code fits into the whole system and weird legacy stuff that is affecting what they are writing.
All my personal knowledge on this subject is like 6 years out of date. It appears there are companies now offering this for humans but I have no way of telling if they are legit.

Agreed and Knuth's Literate Programming. Our industry is caught in the event horizon of the black hole named, "cargo cults".
Indeed it might be still killing the planet, if all the renewable energy we can make at the moment were to be used for Bitcoin and so the other needs must use fossil fuels. At the very least, this argument leads to the conclusion that we ought to stop mining Bitcoin until all energy is renewable, but something tells me its advocates won't be happy with that.
I believe it. I've got friends on both sides of the political aisle. I can't believe some of the stuff my friends think is true, and they think the same of me sometimes.

I think confirmation bias is really strong. We're all best off if we take care to ingest a balance of news. (One of my techniques: I read 'RealClearPolitics' daily. It contains outrageous articles from both sides, which I hope gives me a more balanced perspective.)
Such requirements do exist in Sweden, too.
Id trust them more than my own government just by them admitting that they are doing it. The US government for example would never admit to hacking random people's shit, but we know they can and that they do and they have been exposed doing even more shady shit without oversight and with zero public reports about it. Instead we get PR campaigns to try and cover up the shit that got leaked.
> I don't want to save the whole state automatically. The state isn't complicated. Even the data isn't complicated.

If you don't want to save the state, why mention localstorage in the first place? The point of using the Redux thing would be to automate that process, so that you don't have to manually save/retrieve anything to localstorage yourself.

It's weird - it's a reasonably well known technique, but there's no single paper which captures it all. I usually point at Zero-Shot Learning Through Cross-Modal Transfer[1], which kind of captures the essence, but it's from 2013 and on image/text embedding instead of graphs.

The authors (Richard Socher, Ganjoo, Chris Manning, Andrew Ng) are fairly well credentialed though, so it's usually enough to convince people it is worth thinking about at least.

Hey, thanks for this. The Hathi interface is slow to say the least, so it ends up being my fallback to archive.org more often that not.
Real estate is likely the best storage of value there is. It's only distributed across governments though. When you own a piece of land you actually trust your government to protect your right to it.

Gold is fantastic. Apart from its physical properties, we all agreed to assign value to it and it's been working for thousands of years.

But wouldn't it be great to have gold in a digital form? Something easily divisible and transferable, yet as gold is, not dependent for its value on some 3rd party? Something that is truly yours not just IOU. Which can keep value.

Forget about Bitcoin, how would you envision something like this?

Apart from technological problems, we have a problem of initial trust and distribution. Please stop here and think for a moment, this is a hard and interesting problem. I'm not saying you can solve it with a few minutes of thinking but just after a few moments some things clarify.

Now imagine we do have it. We did it. Because it would be a cool future where we do have this digital gold. Is it a safe storage of value? What if some better digital gold 2.0 comes along? If people would prefer to move their wealth to it then the 1.0 would become less desirable, so its value should drop. But if it does, then it's not a good storage of value after all.

You can devise a system in which 1.0 tokens can be exchanged to 2.0 but then you cannot change the initial distribution.

If all that thinking is not enough, it is interesting to ponder impact of an actual perfect storage of value system on society. Wealth can be leveraged to generate more of it.

Not that it's something completely new, we had a few close enough matches throughout the history. That's what most wars are about. Although it's easier to go get something if you know where it is.
A big advantage of plastic is how it's airtight and waterproof, which is a great property for a lot of food packaging. Reduces spoilage and making a mess if contents break. Also it's a stronger material.

I've noticed with a lot of electronics nowadays, most of the packaging is made with cardboard although, because it doesn't need those properties.
energy would be wasted if it wasn't possible to prove the thing you said bitcoin proves. proof is the product of spent energy, therefore it's not wasted.
I can see using this with an AR or VR system.

Sure but they have absolutely no evidence. They could do that anyway. They can just randomly pick me from crowd and claim I'm a suspect and they'd have the same amount of evidence. Or worse, they can observe the street and see that I walk it every day. If we believe US cops are dystopic like that, not talking to them doesn't solve those problems.
This is also my experience interviewing for embedded systems and (hardware) test automation work at electronics manufacturers. I've never been asked to code anything. (Nor have I been asked to draw any schematics.) Just conversation.

“We are replacing all of the pollinators with bark beetles as our forests die of heat/drought, and the latter don’t seem to be getting wiped out by pesticides” is not an especially encouraging take. Though I guess it’s better than “nearly all insects on earth will die out in the next century” or whatever.
I can use bitcoin to buy things on the internet, or send money across borders, or bring money across borders, all without anybody's permission. So it's pretty successful in my book.

Oh wait, you're bringing sin into the argument. My bad, I thought we were being rational.

And just a side-note, it irks me when people say that bitcoin uses as much energy as the country of Iceland like that's some kind of horror. Iceland is pretty damn small, with a population smaller than the mid-sized city I live in.
>[Bitcoin] is dwarfed by other forms of distributed wealth storage such as [S.A.] old fashioned pieces of gold

Hi can you let me how I can immigrate out of my country with $10e6 without thieves at the airport taking my wealth? If we can figure this out, man bitcoin is totally KIA. Also can you let me how how I can costlessly assay gold when I accept it as payment? or make the supply of gold only dependent only on time and not how it currently is (price and time)? Whenever the price of gold goes up, they mine more of it :C this makes its Store of Value property worse than bitcoin. Looking forward to your reply and our future endeavor together. /s
That's a beautiful quote, thank you for sharing!
It's also how I acquired most of the skills that today define my career. I studied physics and procrastinated with code, and to a lesser extent with studying computer science, extensively. Today I work on Google's technical infrastructure. I suspect that this is not at all an unusual turn of events amongst readers here.
Neither would hurt your career later, but the startup may be harder to work at and complete a PhD.

A lot will depend on the startup and your goals personally, but neither will hurt you. I do see pros and cons on both sides, and I would personally say for your goal it might make better sense to go with the larger retail business. For businesses like Google/Amazon etc, they all do things at a very large scale and likely anything that helps prepare you to think in those terms is the better choice.

Good luck!

Japanese government is pretty good in what specific area?

"Japan's cyber-security minister has 'never used a computer'"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18459016

As for medicine, water and medical treatment... Your government makes the medicine, your government runs the water company and your government runs your hospitals? Seems like a recipe for disaster. Just out of curiosity, what country do you live in?

Yes. Japan is a regional and major economic competitor to china, russia and korea and the US. But what's your point? They are also a major trading partner to all those countries.

Sure, blind mistrust is bad as blind trust. But there are plenty of reasons for people to distrust governments. It's why we have rights to protect ourselves from the government. And the last government I'd trust is the japanese government if I were the japanese people considering how they were so willing to throw their citizens lives away on kamikaze missions and endure endless firebombings and nukes.

No, I don't think you missed it. My point was that consumers see recycling differently than people to process goods to be recycled. That is often glossed over in these discussions. I would love to see how those benches turned out, furniture is something that works as well (caveat a good covering)

The essence of my post was my discouragement that the only reason to recycle things is to profit from it. That is the point of view of the recycling plants. I'm discouraged by that because I think if people looked at the bigger picture they would see other opportunities. I even wrote my congressperson suggesting that the plastic bricks idea could be a way to get something positive out of the wall idea that the President is pushing. It wouldn't be any more effective at border security but it would take a lot of plastics out of the ecological streams they are now polluting. I could get behind spending $5B on sequestering waste plastic in a way it won't do any future harm to the environment.

The concept of using it to build housing was context for why I was thinking about this idea in the first place, thinking "outside the box" as it were on multiple problems at once. Combining solutions for the biggest bang for the buck. Noting that even a 4 year old can build a house out of Lego bricks, what would it take to do that for "real?" and could we make bricks that would make for actual houses? A bit of research on the structural characteristics of the various plastics in the recycling stream (and even those that are currently excluded) and yes, it is technologically feasible.
1. You don't have to fit your whole workload on the GPU you can process it in batches like you would for a workload that doesn't fit into memory on a non gpu solution. You don't need PB of GPU memory to run PB workloads.

2. The dataset is trivially small because this is a new engine built for the rapids eco system and it is limited for the time being to a single node. We are releasing our distributed version for GTC (mid March) and will be able to give you more reasonable comparisons. This is a similar path of development to our pre Rapids engine which went from single node to distributed in about a month because we have built this engine to be distributed. Right now we are finishing up UCX integration which is the layer we will be using to communicate between all the nodes.

3. You can always try it out. Its own dockerhub (see links in this post) and if you want to run distributed workloads right now you can manage that process using dask by handling the splitting up of the job yourself. In a few weeks you will be able to have the job split up for you automatically without need for the user to be aware of the size of the cluster or how to distribute data across it.
I agree, it comes off as really petty and does the author no favors.
Thanks for the replies on this. I was really thinking of my friends and family, I think I know most of what people have had, including abortions, mental illness, cancer etc. I can now see how others can have serious problems with abuse, harassment or unwanted publicity of private issues.
> At this point the only advice you can give is to please ask every doctor you ask to not make any notes or files on you at all, and just deal with that. "I travel a lot and this just causes trouble" is a useful phrase in that regard.

Does this work? From what I hear, beyond the obvious benefits of enabling continued care, notes have an extra important purpose: it helps doctors to protect themselves against bullshit lawsuits.

An medical student in my family told me a story once, about a doctor who told a patient to get some tests. The patient ignored the advice, and found themselves dead couple of years later, from illness that would be detected early on those tests. The patient's husband came to doctor's office, seeking to sue her for negligence, and what saved her was that she had notes from those years ago, that clearly stated she did in fact order the patient to get the relevant tests done.
