This is a typical style of web app development that is rightfully criticized: the average web developer thinks it's okay to offload their performance problems on everyone else as long as they reach their personal or company goals.

Pumping out many unsupported, mediocre projects isn't something to brag about either.

This is not a purchase for gaming -- this is for the HPC market. Nvidia drivers on Linux for HPC work really well. Academia is a tiny, tiny fraction of the market.
These statistics exist and have been reconfirmed many times.

For the last 10 years healthcare has been #1 burnt out. IT following up very closely. In the last 1-2 years IT has been showing up as #1 in the studies done. Up around ~65%. Major corps like Nvidia and Cisco being worse yet.

ER was something like 90%. Nursing was 40%. Over 1/3 of healthcare has been diagnosed with depression.

Whereas industries like Education is below 15%, hotels are below 10%.

It's not literally all workers. In fact there's a negative relationship with burnout and unions. The unions make sure you're not being overworked.

Teachers in Canada for example have below 5% burnout. The union is immensely strong. They get paid $140,000/year. They work 5 hour days and only 8 months a year. Their 'boss' the principal can't actually just show up and make sure they are working. That's not allowed. Basically no accountability as a teacher.

True, but an entity that goes so far as to cheat on tests is hardly likely to honestly self-certify - it is further evidence that some non-trivial form of verification is necessary.

As an old bored guy, I wonder if they need some help? This is a thing I know a little about.

I wonder if they deal with closed captioning, titling, synching with a VTR, multicamera, drivers for video I/O cards, proper file parsing (depending on things like FFMPEG is not such a great idea), etc.
First off, for small tables, you always take the hash value modulo some small number like 10000. Who cares how good the hash function is, if you end up with 1/10000 chance of collision in the end anyway? Speed is obviously more important in this setting.

Second, assume very large hash tables...assume that with noncollision using the data structure takes time T1(H) and with collission it takes T2(H) for hash function H, and that the probability of collision is P(H).

So your total cost is then

P(H) T2(H) + (1 - P(H)) T1(H)

Which is approximately

P(H) T2(H) + T1(H)

Easy to play with numbers so that a worse but cheaper hash has a lower total cost. In fact this will usually be the case I would expect... T2 is multiplied with P and disappears for all but the very worst hashes/extremely expensive T2

One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.

You may not agree with IS, (I don't). But some people do, and are willing to fight for it. They have their reasons whether good or bad, and denying that doesn't solve the problem. (is there any 'terrorist' / 'freedom fighter' movement that has been beaten by fighting alone???)

Anyway the parallels I was struck by were the fact that they were both underage girls, not fighting for a 'regular' army.

I prefer my news to report the 'facts', and let me make my own mind up, so the language used to describe each is as I said, interesting.
> how come mobile apps and websites get valued

Can you name many apps and websites that closed (aka IPO or sold, not funding round) at 10+/20+ billion? Unless you're going to go for the stupid "uber is an android app my kid could could make for their senior project" shtick, I think most 10b+ apps are backed by _real_ technology
This isn't a new idea and though it is interesting and has good intentions, it doesn't solve the problem. As others have pointed out, this will encourage more data collection and less privacy. The exact opposite of what we want. Also, the users are already paid with free service.

The problem is that people value the free service more than their data. And companies value the data more than they value the service.

The tech and hacker community might value our data and privacy more than the service, but that's clearly not the case with most people.

Imagine if there was a company FaceTome that provides the exact same service FaceBook does. But FaceTome charged you a dollar for month and collect no data while FaceBook charges you nothing but collects your data. I guarantee you that most people would use FaceBook and FaceTome will go out of business as most people simply don't care about their data or privacy.

A big surprise many run into: the amount of time it takes to find and sign up new work (“sales”).

It can be incredibly time-consuming, leads to a bunch of stress and uncertainty, and you can’t really bill for it.
From how they've named things, the URIs and such, it seems like this might be more a concept, and that Elasticsearch is just the first one out.

So what do we think will be next?
Huh? Bing Crosby sang "Happy Holidays". It's a perfectly, entirely banal thing to say. I'm mystified by the emotional valence conservatives have given it --- and by the notional (and I think fictitious) concern that conservatives have that "Merry Christmas" is unsafe to say, as if every random shop you walked into in Chicago in December wouldn't greet you that way.
I think I understand the reasoning for closing down most store but I simply don't get the "buy it maybe return it" thing.

I recently was shopping for a new car, Tesla Model S was on my list of potential vehicles. I test drove one and knew within a few minutes it was not the car for me.

If I had bought the car without a quick shakedown I would have certainly returned it but then I'd be stuck without a car for several days or even weeks since my credit/funds would have been tied up.

Why didn't they instead offer the 7 day try out but hold the car on some sort of deposit? This way if I returned it I'd only be out that deposit for the time being and would be free to immediately buy the car I wanted. If I chose to keep the car they would follow up with purchase.

Or for areas that are more dense with available cars to rent. Offer a rental Tesla for a day for some discounted rate to be refunded if you bought a car.

I don't think they thought this through very well.
10 of the large instances costs $5000 a month. Not insignificant. Smaller ones in my experience don’t run larger Rails apps very well.
You can use a correlation matrix instead of covariance. If I understand correctly, the problem you're describing also occurs is you try to interpret a linear model without normalizing first (for the same reasons).

Unfortunately, the open source AMD driver (based on Mesa) is too buggy to work with Curv right now. Your choice of Linux distro is very restricted with AMD.

This is interesting, I use AMDGPU, when I tried PRO I got no greater performance in benchmarks. I'm using one of the unstable ppas (oibaf) and haven't had stability problems. I guess this sort of software perhaps pushes the envelope and reveals instabilities.

This is not true. Partners at top firms might be driving Ferraris, but they still work insane hours doing stressful work. Making partner doesn't let you take your foot off the gas. The stress and burnout issue at Biglaw firms is probably worse than in IT.

> People seem to think this is a political move by the China, which may be true

Categorically FALSE. Let's get the facts straight.

1. The initial mandate was only to temporarily ground all 737MAX series for one(1) day (March 11th) not indefinitely. The CAAC (equiv. of FAA in the US) will determine the further action upon an initial report result is released. [1] It also mentioned that CAAC takes zero tolerance to air safety issues, which is consistent in the past 40 years.

2. Out of 350 Boeing's 737MAX series delivered since 2017, about one thirds (96 according to the Chinese news) went to China. To speed up delivery and reduce cost, Boeing actually opened and operated a brand new factory in Zhoushan, China for all deliveries to Chinese market.
So Chinese airliners are one biggest early adopters and Boeing's biggest market. The Zhoushan Boeing factory is joint venture with CMAC (a State owned aircraft manufacturer).[2] So a politically move to ban 737Max that may cause significant economical impact for their own state-owned enterprise, which made no sense.

>I doubt the helpfulness of later lists and anti todo lists.

Before I break down some of the advice, keep in mind that he is talking about productivity. There are some jobs where his advice will not work. But I contend those jobs are designed in a way that necessarily limit your productivity. As an example, SW developers complain about context switching. I assure you, there are jobs where context switching is more or less necessary. I wouldn't criticize Marc's advice because it won't work for that kind of a job. I'd point out that the job is fundamentally one where productivity is limited.

Getting to the details:

Later lists are essentially Someday/Maybe in GTD, so it's not a radical concept. Personally, I've treated it as a dumping ground of things just to get them out of my head. If I'm not going to do it any time soon, I want it somewhere that is not my head. Now I've never found the contents of the list useful. It's usually so huge that it's not worth my time to go back to it.

As for Anti-Todo list, it's a psychological hack, so I'm not sure how you can say it is useful or not. It's strictly not a productivity technique. If it eases your mind, it works. Otherwise not.

I'm not anti-phone as he is, but if I substitute phone calls with texting and IM's, I fully agree. They are usually productivity sinks. I've found phones to be good for things where one cannot reasonably wait. Obviously, this is not going to work for projects that require continual, quick decisions. I think he is merely self selecting: He does only projects where phone calls are not as important.

As for strategic incompetence, he makes the criterion clear:

>Of course, this assumes that there are other things that are more important at which you are competent.

Look around your workplace. In mine, this is what more senior people do all the time. They have more important work to do, and they'll first try to convince managers the annoying work they're being asked to do is not a good use of their time (takes time away from more important work). 70+% of the time, this is enough. When it isn't, it's not unusual to see them do a poor job, at which time managers assign the work to a more junior person.

It does work, as long as their is a junior person who can do the work.

Limiting email time is effective. Whenever I've interviewed, I've asked whether I can do the job if I check email only three times a day. In reality, I check it a lot more often. But I've been burned by having a job where too much work was done over email with an expectation to respond quickly (e.g. within an hour). Having to drop all your work several times a day to answer lots of questions is not good for productivity.
Can someone just dive and cut cables?
I'm 100% on board with "start with Heroku or App Engine" and then you can just layer in other services as you need. Where I see teams get caught up is that they compare the price of a single VPS with a handful of Heroku Dynos and think it's much too expensive.

As soon as you add in any amount of sysadmin time, security work, etc. it becomes absurdly better.
