For an audience familiar with OO software engineering, the model of these diagrams could be scenarios of object instance associations, and there's standard diagrams for that. Then you could pair that with a class static object model visual that defines the associations (such as a certain association means information flow, with certain directionality, and certain roles and cardinality, and perhaps the association has attributes).
Your last paragraph strongly implies that hermitdev was using undefined behavior to "explain away" security concerns.

This is why I think removing the physical (as in, below the screen --- whether they're capacitive or actual pushbuttons isn't the point here) buttons from Android devices is a horrible idea; a webpage can mess around with what's on the screen, but it can't stop the user pressing the physical menu button and choosing Refresh from there.
It’s good for investors that the company can provide a sure return. If they don’t want to sell in/after a buyback, they can enjoy their more concentrated ownership. The investors can use the cash value of this increased equity to invest in more speculative growth stocks if they want, but they don’t have to.

> Oh, and STEM is different?

You're making claims about philosophy, I'm not making claims about STEM - I don't know what you're trying to accomplish.

> Not everybody agrees, so therefore liberal arts education is invalid?

No. Not everybody agrees, thereforce "liberal arts advances humanity" isn't agreed upon and shouldn't guide us. Let's agree upon it first.

> you're saying "nobody should do anything but the work"

No. I'm saying "please contribute". And by "contribute" I mean "do something that all/most/many consider to be of value". If we start defining "contributing" to mean something that the individual believes to be valuable, then it's just random. Build houses, grow roses, torture people, whatever, as long as you feel like it's a good idea, you're contributing.

> But don't discourage others from doing what they want

I'd never dream of doing that. I'm just saying: if you want to do what you want, please pay for it yourself. Don't make me give you part of my money to indulge in your personal pleasures.

Yes, the less educated still have more children than the more educated, but that gap is getting smaller.

In more current data:

Teenage pregnancies are down by 55% since 2007, which is an enormous public health success that no one seems to have noticed.

And while I can't find more recent data by educational attainment, there does appear to be racial data, which given the enormous differences in average educational attainment between racial groups, are something you can make inferences from.

The groups which are statistically lower educational attainment have seen 2-6x larger drops in fertility than the groups which are statistically higher educational attainment.

Even with this supporting information and the backing of hundreds of libraries, OverDrive was not interested because they didn't think they could profit off the feature.
For many developers, they turn out to be good at project management, its not much different conceptually than being an architect, this issue is, once you 'level up' you're expected to stay there, rather than moving back to develop for some period of time, and letting the next guy get tapped for project management - It think more companies rotated those roles around, they'd see greater retention, greater employee happiness, and probably lower costs - as an engineer, I don't want to be a PM forever, but I might be happy spending 1/3rd of my time over a given long term period wearing that hat.

Education, and lack of opportunity for those who are educated and talented. (They will go where they can reap the most benefits for themselves). That top talent - will also educate their co-workers. Not just the people they work closely with, but everyone in their organization will receive great benefits from collaborating with the people who collaborate with that top talent.

But most people working in the tech industry; (which is very highly stovepiped) - will never experience that, and may only read about it.

When you're not fortunate enough to be employed in one of the top tech industry companies, or in one of the hotspots where the industry is focused (Silicon Valley, New York, Boston, Austin, Virginia, maybe Provo, Seattle) - then you have to do all you can to use the internet to constantly learn and grow your skills; but also, you have to try to constantly evangelize the same attitude to your co-workers, and management. It is an exhausting job.

> people want cheap rent, access to tourism dollars, and to preserve the "feeling" of their city.

The people that want 'tourism dollars' are not the same as those who want affordable rent in the city they were born and raised.

The key issue (at least in Europe) is that Airbnb has reduced the access barrier of landlords to a tax avoindance revenue stream.

If you are sharing a room in your house in the summer that's a side gig. If you are buying flats left and right and giving them to an agent to manage you Airbnb reservations then that is just a Hotel without the regulations and upfront costs and taxes that should come with it.

Yeah, I've seen part of that on the web, but I never know how much of it is ironic.

It's very different in Europe, there may be some mocking, and we also don't create unlimited jobs for every graduate, but they'll most likely not end up doing minimum wage jobs, and most of them easily transition into working in the media, for the government, large corporations or foundations.

There was plenty of anti-intellectualism in the US in the 70s. The movie "Revenge of the Nerds" wasn't made in a cultural vacuum. Neither was "Animal House". Sports heros have always been worshiped, not so with intellectuals (other than Einstein).

Much of this changed with Bill Gates. He was derided for being a nerd for years, until he made so much money people stopped laughing at him.
I'm not an ML guy, so can't say if this is an autoencoder.

We can combine multiple sequences in any way we want. Obviously, we can come up with some nice looking "tower of lstms" where each level of that tower processes the corresponding F[i] sequence: sequence F1 goes to level T1 which is a bunch of LSTMs; then F2 and the output of T1 go to T2 and so on. The only thing that I think matters is (1) feed all these sequences to the model and (2) have enough weights in the model. And obviously a big GPU farm to run experiments.

Imagine Rust being considered the way to develop for embedded RISC-V, from almost the start.

Similarly, as long as Rust is already shaking up C/C++ a bit, they could nudge some hobby/education and professional development towards RISC-V. (Especially on embedded, right now, as I've heard the open ISA is attractive to some projects.)

No way to answer that question in general. It would depend on the specific situation. What if it were a historical piece? Should we sanitize that? What if the author were black and chose that word on purpose? Would it be our place to edit it out?

I didn't make any argument about intent being the primary consideration. There are many considerations. My point was much simpler: you guys jumped on prabhupant too quickly and uncharitably, and we all need to restrain ourselves from doing that.

What makes you think that HN has a "primary language community"? Only 10% of HN users are in or near Silicon Valley. Half are in the US, which already has many communities. The rest are all over the world. I don't think many generalizations are likely to be valid here.
Procedural Overmap Generation
I don’t see any reason to assume that intelligence is strongly correlated with parent intelligence. Weakly, sure, but nurture factors contribute immensely. I attribute my own success not to genetics, though my parents are successful, but to reading a LOT as a kid and an upbringing encouraging curiosity, and then nepotism. The knack I have for puzzles that I share with my family seems to contribute less to my place in the world and more the roles I choose in this place—that is, I don’t think it has significantly impacted my material position—much more due to the earthly explanations of privilege.
Thank you for describing your experience in detail. So many smart, intelligent and rational parents go through months of hellish sleep deprivation (which we know makes any human slow, sick and dangerously incapable of clear thinking) because they don’t give cosleeping a fair consideration.
This is also true of my own employer (a fellow FAANG) - the technical track is incredibly hard to advance in past senior, it seems to incentivize devs moving into management, along with the pay differential where even in the same tier, management makes a little more in general by a couple of $10k.

I very much enjoy being a dev and am a top performing one in my VP’s org, but the structure incentivizes me to switch over to the management track, which I’d be happy to do (I have prior experience as one), but it seems like a crappy way to depress salaries of ICs that they are forced to switch companies to move up to where they should be.
Thus is indistinguishable from a scam. The demanded privileges include contacts, calendar, storage, camera, microphone, location, even fingerprints? Are you kidding me?!
Swift's type system was designed to make developers happy, Rust's to make the borrow checker happy.

As it turns out, some people think like a borrow checker and don't have any issue with Rust's choice. But most don't and we should not make them miserable.

I'm talking about the comments hermitdev was replying to that were treating memset as a 'fix'.

Basically yes. If an immediate mode API is much easier to use, and a retained mode underlying implementation has much better performance, then putting a React-style VDOM layer in-between could get the best of both worlds, depending on how well the middle layer is implemented.

No, I think it's more likely that you're involved in what I've often speculated is a physical manifestation of a finite monkey experiment. The remainder of an drug-fueled late-night VC bet, no doubt.

I’ve been reviewing a lot of career path documents recently for different engineering orgs, and every one is fairly uniform in that you either progress into management, team leadership, or architecture (or some blend of the three). If not, you’ll stagnate at a pretty high level, but stagnate none the less.

I’ve been noodling on this for a while, and I think maybe a fourth track at a lot of organizations should be special projects. Small teams (3 people max) given autonomy and clear objectives (revenue goals, user growth goals, etc). For a pre existing company, this likely means “hacking” on an existing product, experimenting on something new, tackling huge debt... Pick your poison.

This is a fine middle ground for someone with a lot of experience who doesn’t want to manage, but still wants some growth opportunities. For many people who don’t want to manage or be an architect, autonomy is the number one thing I regularly hear. So, give them the autonomy and some ground rules, then let them loose.
> Namely, they would allow potential registrars to bid on the yearly registration price, and then give the lowest (qualified) bidder a contract to run the domain for a few years, with that fixed registration price.

This is sort of how it used to work. NSF created and funded InterNIC and contracted its operation to Network Solutions. The cost of registering a domain was $0.

I think you have some good points, but I don't think the following is a safe assumption, and it can be very counterproductive:

> If we assume educational attainment is correlated with intelligence, and children's intelligence is correlated to parental intelligence, [...]

You could imagine how this idea can discourage people of modest origins, and can also encourage people of advantage to see themselves as innately superior.
It takes high intelligence to teach your kids to read or do puzzles as a hobby. Your parents could have just as easily put you in front of a TV for your whole childhood, or they could have provided a stressful or abusive environment to grow up in. Intelligence takes many forms.
If the census can ask any questions at all other than “how many people are in your household,” then certainly a question of citizenship is relevant. Many, many countries include citizenship in their census, it’s not at all unreasonable. Citizenship is far more relevant than race. France for example, forbids asking race and ethnicity however they do, in fact, ask about citizenship. Why wouldn’t we want to know the citizenship of the people living in the country? It seems like very useful data.
I love Lyx but wish there were a less involved setup. Takes a very long time to install over LTE, and TeX distro feels 50/50 dice roll. If it’s slow on LTE in Silicon Valley, it’s slow in Africa. Hard to recommend.
I just checked, I live in Phoenix, in maricopa county, I’m pretty sure lumping together people living in Maricopa, Phoenix and the suburbs is not valid, you can’t commute across the county, it’s not a single market.
"We" are not teaching. Everyone can see for themselves that raising kids is a thankless, difficult job which can hardly be reconciled with a successful career.
You can also easily enable runtime failures so the point is indeed moot.
An interesting way to look at this is that nature (from an evolutionary perspective) is selecting away from what the popular sentiment of this board considers intelligent.
Thank you for the photo; this is the best one I have seen. I suspect the ropes could not secure each of those rudders in place for a transatlantic crossing even in moderate seas.
This is not necessarily a wrong thing to teach. As one progresses from old things that are well-understood to new developments,students will have to deal with fuzziness and gaps. They must learn to make progress using a heuristic feel for the subject instead of complete rigour. Too sensitive an alarm for missing foundations will actually stop them from being productive. Think of how much time passed between the invention of calculus and the development of rigorous analysis.
Although this is Minix3 AFAIK which is quite different from the original Minix, with more BSD derived code, and designed for production not teaching.
