I thought that I sort of implied that in the root post, although I expect that there's more to it than your example.

It's easy these days to get arrested for minor deviltries (way easier than when I was a lad) so the police have that in their pocket.

So, you pick out the groups who are statistically most likely to commit real crimes, pick them up for any old thing, and warehouse them until they are more old and tired.

Like I said, it's not fair, but it appears to work to some extent.
I have yet to figure out the 'persona' for Medium users.

From time to time you can come across some decent content, but the loops and hoops you have to go through to read it are simply not worth my time.
The main argument in this article doesn't apply unless the Medium writer enabled the partner program on the post. That's what enables the pay wall.
a programmer from Huntsville, Alabama started in 1963, and later worked on Burroughs equipment, and much later on MP/M, then Apple. Quite a clever fellow, many great stories.. hardware would certainly be down from time-to-time.
Sure. Weight relative to 1 lb or 1kg is essentially the definition of “absolute weight.”
Not exactly. This adversity score penalizes people who good character (insofar as making sacrifices to provide better education opportunity for ones' kids is good character).

Family A makes $X and goes through significant sacrifices (e.g. commuting 4 hours) to live in a wealthy neighborhood with good schools.

Family B makes the same $X and lives a leisurely live in a cheap neighborhood with bad schools.

Which should have a better chance of succeeding? This adversity score says family B deserves a bonus over family A.
So now instead of a single bottle, you have a plastic bag, a straw, and a rubber band as litter all the while destroying any guarantees of not getting food borne illnesses.
So, German scientists would have needed 2.5 metric tons of these non-enriched uranium cubes, to create a self-sustaining reaction with a controlled pile of them.

A quantity that was held in possession, and a capability within reach, but divided between two sites, not yet understood, and never realized by German scientists prior to VE day.

I don't know; i've written code in C, C++, C#, Java, Python, Ruby, Pascal, Delphi, Assembler x86, TCL, Javascript and Common Lisp. Lisp codebases are the cleanest and clearest i've seen by far, although ReasonML/SML/OCaml might be as clean too.

I remember reading (yeah, not much of a citation, I know...) that recycling was invented so people wouldn't feel so bad about disposable packaging.

Considering recycling can mean shipping trash to a poor country, it's not the ultimate environment rescuer. (Doesn't mean we should stop doing it, obviously)
Is there a suggested alternative people should be turning to as opposed to building their own, especially if their expertise is in writing or some other field than computer science or web design?
I took it to be a comparison to Netflix. Cloud gaming is analogous to streaming movies with similar tradeoffs, the difference being that games are interactive.
Ask HN: Best sites / ways to hire freelance devs
I've hired a bunch of developers on Upwork (and before that on elance, etc.) with mixed success, usually fairly good.

Lately, however, I'm finding that a lot of the applicants I invite are completely lying about their knowledge and expertise, submitting code samples they took from elsewhere (including tutorials that are easy to find online), etc.

This is true even of developers who have great track records on the site (which implies... fake contracts and fake reviews?).

So I'm curious as to what other sites or methods people have found successful in hiring good developers.

Thanks for any hints / sharing of experiences.
Better PGO tooling can use the profiles from previous version of the code, which is almost but not quite the same, to compile a PGO optimized build of the patched version.

If there is no tooling to do that, a subset of the training data can be used which can be processed in a short amount of time to gather enough profile data to get most of the benefits. So say, instead of 20% faster code after 6 hours, 10% faster code after 15 minutes.

It is also possible to use PGO to find the critical optimizations done in the PGO optimized build that lead to most of the gains and add annotations in the code (branch taken, branch not taken, force inline, never inline, etc) or split functions the way the PGO optimized build does (e.g. common case is inline the guarding if statement at the beginning of the function, not inline the rest of the function).
Oh, they will stop selling physical versions if it gets successful enough.
As someone who took SSRIs for 2 years this is a bullshit statement. They allowed me to feel something other than only depression and anxiety which allowed me to improve myself over time.

Please do not spread such misinformation without anything other than opinion.
Hardship is relative. There's always someone who's had it harder than you. His parents sacrificed things to get him the resources he needed to succeed, is his point. They sacrificed things that the parents of other kids did not.
I did pretty well on the standardized tests in high school. If this had existed, i likely would have scored higher than average on adversity. I would be pissed to find out my score was altered in any way due to factors outside my control. If I do well on something, i want it to be from my own merits, whatever my current situation. I don't want to be pandered to because i grew up poor in a shitty neighbourhood.

Everything i learned and can do is because of my own intelligence and skill. Fuck anyone giving me points for things i didn't work for or that are outside my control. I want to be recognized for the things i can do, not because i grew up in a broken, poor family in a low income neighbourhood.

I assume, then, that your file sizes are not so big. N++ is not good with big (>25% of your ram) file sizes, refusing to open them.

Is R/tidyverse also limited on the size of the file it can handle? In my job i routinely work with up to 100GB files.

A huge percentage of the authors behind the paywall don’t realize that they are. It seems like Medium might have made this option less clear than it needs to be be (like by describing the benefits but not the drawbacks) or made it on by default.

Yes, but it wasn't at the "oh crap elections were manipulated, democracies toppled, dissidents tracked down, and genocides enabled" level.

The fact that Apple, the world's richest company in the world, now has a mainstream marketing campaign around privacy tells you it is now officially mainstream mainstream, not just programmer mainstream.

And because of this, systems often fall back to cleartext (esp for ILS which would need backwards compatibility). This allows for jamming sufficient to cause crypto decoding error, forcing failover to cleartext. Spread spectrum (e.g. frequency hopping) can mitigate this by improving jam margin, but still requires key material.

The best response is probably jamming (seduction) detection, through good data fusion algorithms. Hard to do directive jamming without sidelobe leakage that could be detected on the ground.

Transmitting a signed (AEAD) bitstream should be possible by publishing a public key in the NOTAM. The cost decrease in DRFMs (SDRs) also means that deploying radio receivers with upgradable waveforms is also much cheaper.

Should Coca Cola be responsible for the poor country that imports that trash?

Why do they import it if they don’t plan to recycle it and make profit from it that way? Somebody imports it and dumps it without recycling because they live in a corrupt hellhole of a country, that’s why. Don’t attempt to blame Coca Cola for the shitty outcomes of democracy in some tier 3 country.
I have saved up ~$220k in 5 years. My rent situation is pretty good as I only pay $1500 a month and I had minimal student loans when I graduated so that put me ahead(state school with part time jobs and internships).

Really? What about telemetry for self-driving cars? Is it immoral to develop a system that leads to less blunt trauma and death on roads? We (HN users, I don't work for any of these companies) can define your term "as little as possible" about like you seem to define parent's term "seriously". The point being that such adjectives are difficult to pin down but also difficult to avoid. Define "difficult" however you see fit.
>The fact is that different ethnic groups don't seem to mix organically unless they are all quite wealthy, at which point they have more in common with their socioeconomic class than with their ethnicity.

That goes both ways. If you've got a group of mostly upper middle class whites, Asians and Indians (i.e. your average tech company) the poor whites are going to hand out with the blacks, Mexicans and eastern Europeans. Not having much in common with the majority group is the trait that ties the minority group together.

> I would be pissed to find out my score was altered

As was mentioned in the article - it doesn't alter your test score.
Of course. But there obviously is a real issue with overhanging obstacles, since there have been multiple of these crashes now.

Do we really accept a known flaw just because it's still better than the alternative?
I see a bit of their reasoning. Taking from the article:

"When you have an environment with 20+ services, code sharing, maintenance and following updates become problematic. At Allegro we had the chance to find it out. It’s better to take out dependencies from business services as much as possible."

By adopting something like Hermes you are not really "taking out" a dependency, but abstracting it - as you said. Yet, by talking HTTP to the message broker you are abstracting away Kafka from your developers and your code. One less lib to depend on for each language you have in your architecture. One less version to control among your services, etc.
Does this still mean I have to complete a coding challenge that implements a red/black tree in O(n) time, in order to land a job that pays a living wage, and resize widget buttons and embed tracking pixels with third party JavaScript for the rest of my life?
Sleep is very important in all sorts of ways but Professor Walker was throwing everything at the wall in an effort to convince the reader to get better sleep at times. One chapter talking about how people who get less sleep will naturally want to eat more. Another chapter telling how rats with given constant diets and restricted sleep eventually starve to death. I do trust all his citations to be accurate but I'm also sure that if there was some way in which less sleep was good for you he wouldn't mention it.

But it was a very valuable book in terms of explaining just what sleep does for you.
I can see wealthy parents moving their kids to a worse school district for the year of SAT exams to game that score.

I'm old enough to clearly remember when Coca Cola was distributed in glass bottles. There was no plastic of any kind, except for maybe a gasket inside the metal cap. Individual serving size bottles had bottle caps and larger size had metal screw caps with metal safety-seal thingies that broke off when you opened it for the first time. All of them had deposits that were refunded when you turn them in.

I don't know about the economics or logistical feasibility of returning to the same setup, but to suggest it's not possible (while still ensuring product safety) is inaccurate.
YouTubers often have a very distinct artificial sort of personality that kids try to emulate. This is especially bad if you ever watch Logan Paul type videos and it's basically a bunch of antisocial behavior under the guise of having fun and playing jokes. They're also universally loud and abrasive.
How about this: People shoot in a random order (now everyone has the same chance of making it to the next round. Is it 1/e?)

import numpy as np

class Shooter:
def __init__(self):
self.dead = False
self.right = None # The person to the right

def simulate(n):
# Simulates a round with n shooters
# Returns the ratio of survivors

shooters = [Shooter() for i in range(n)]
for i, shooter in enumerate(shooters):
shooter.right = shooters[(i+1) % len(shooters)]

np.random.shuffle(shooters)

HIT_PROBABILITY = 1/6
survivors = n
for shooter in shooters:
if not shooter.dead:
if np.random.random() < HIT_PROBABILITY:
shooter.right.dead = True
survivors = survivors - 1
return survivors/n

Simulations suggest that the survival probabilities do not converge to 6/7 if you add shuffling. This makes sense, since the survival probability for the random shuffling version must be strictly less than if you are guaranteed to go first.

>>>sum([simulate(10000) for j in range(1000)])/1000

I'm down for completely banning single use plastics: everything from shopping bags to clamshell packaging can go tomorrow IMHO. Same with styrofoam, frankly.

Having said that glass bottles were a nightmare when I was a kid because of littering assholes who would toss them anywhere. Littering is less of an issue these days but I think going back to glass would need to both reward recycling and shame litter bugs. Walking home from the local swimming hole after slicing the bottom of your foot open is no fun.

Note that it is up to the compiler frontend to choose which LLVM optimization passes to call, in which order and how often.

But neither clang[0] nor rustc[1] do something that resembles hotspot C2's incremental inlining[2].

It is fairly expensive, so hotspot's benefit here is that it only has to spend the optimization cycles on the hottest code.

> It's one of the major reasons benchmarking C/C++ code is so damn hard, the optimizer tends to eliminate the entire thing.

This is totally a thing in java too. That's why the java microbenchmark harness (JMH) provides helpers that can inhibit DCE, constant propagation and inlining

I know this doesn't justify all the issues but I'm at least a little excited that someone is trying to create a media/news service that isn't ad based. Seems like we have a way to go but at least this is a start.

I'm a little surprised that there are so many complaints here - I bet a lot of the same people complaining also complain about ad based services and now they create news / journalism / articles designed for clicks and not quality content.
I actually don't think so, because you end up with only a gradient of lukewarm-to-ambient temperature water, which you still have to purge in order to get actual hot water. Even if you're going for just warm water, you still have to purge some of it, then after a few seconds start continually adjusting cold until the hot water from the tank gets to you.

What extra CO2 from shipping? When Coca Cola was distributed in glass bottles there were local (or regional) bottling centers. The Coca Cola syrup was distributed to these bottling centers and they're the ones that filled bottles for local/regional distribution. I don't recall any problems with CO2.

And the radiation that enters the water does nothing terrible there. If it is a alpha particle, it will scatter a few times, grab an electron and become a harmless helium atom. An electron from beta decay will be harmless after a few collisions. A positron from beta decay will annihilate rather quickly, producing to gamma photons. And those are absorbed in water after a few meters. Neutrons scatter down to thermal energies and decay after a few minutes. The water is not dangerous afterwards and there is no remaining radiation that needs to be filtered out. (For water that is quite different to e.g. steel that itself becomes activated and radioactive after sufficient radiation exposure.)
The liquid weighs more than either.

What about the education itself? Do the awesome professors actually teach? Are the social circles at the college going to lead the student where they want to go in life? What about potentially-burdensome loans at the end of it?

I think we need to get away from the idea of college admissions as a tournament with Harvard at the top. "Good" depends on many things and different students may best be served by different universities.
> because of my own intelligence and skill... Fuck anyone giving me points for things i didn't work for or that are outside my control...

Your "intelligence" is definitely one of those things completely outside your control. What you've done with it is at least partially under your control, but you probably weren't born with any sort of brain disorder, for example.

EDIT: adding on things like your visual appearance - race, hair color, pigmentation, height, etc - all of those are outside your control, and you generally can't control how other people initially react to those things outside your control.

You didn't control where you were born, or - at least early on - what resources you had access to. You were a victim of (or success due to) your geography, at least early on in your life.

But hey, you 'worked hard' and didn't watch as much tv as some lazy bastards who might get a $1000 scholarship because they grew up in a high-crime area, and fuck that, right?

There is some correlation between race, culture and outcome. In the bad old days it was thought that race was the causal variable of the 3. Now it is accepted that culture probably plays the causal role.

The classic example is Shylock in the Merchant of Venice. The Jews had a racial stereotype of being moneylenders; that stereotype didn't evolve because of a racial disparity, it evolved because Christians generally didn't charge interest. So the moneylenders were non-Christian and that correlated with being a different race.

There is evidence of a slight bias where Asian migrants sacrifice more to set up their children's educational future. Policies that cheapen the impact of sacrifice will disproportionately affect them. It may not be explicitly racist, but the outcomes will likely be delectably different in different racial groups, to the net loss of the Asians.
