The problem for businesses, of course, is that nobody would opt in. Data collection is something literally nobody wants, and the only reason it survives is because most people don't know what these companies are doing, or aren't able to keep up with the ways to decline being included in it.

Data monetization is an inherently harmful and unwanted business practice.

IMO, knowledge of sexual activity comes from education and trust, not from monitoring. I know several teenagers whose parents didn't know about their sexual activity until much later than it started, even though the parents thought they were monitoring for it.

Others have a conversation with their parents before they start, because they trust them. Those are the parents you want to be.
You may be at a local maximum of freedom to quit your job and work on your stuff, at least with respect to economic constraints.

Concerns about others' opinions and about your ability to persevere solo are internal constraints.

To the former, does your employer have a leave of absence policy? Could you take a year leave to try your own thing, with the ability to return if now isn't the time?

To the latter - breaking away from excessive conformity to others' opinions is a good thing, IMHO, and if all you accomplish in this exercise is that, it's net positive.

Sticking to a schedule: find a mentor, advisor, somebody to check in with you weekly and review projected work vs. actual results. This will help you stay on task and find workarounds when you get stuck.

It seems like you're well positioned to strike out on a different path. Best of luck to you.
Apple's "elderly mode" is the iPad.

The wall systems the Romans built in Britain get all of the attention, but that era of emperors were building walls all over the place, including a much longer and more extensive section between the Rhine and Danube[1], and yet more across the other far-flung borders, in every quarter of the empire.

"Run a fast, sandboxed bytecode outside of the sandbox by compiling it into a binary" so just a binary. I'm not sure I understand why you would use wasm here. No one writes wasm; you compile to it (usually from llvm ir). Why couldn't you just go straight from llvm ir to a binary; skip the wasm? I suspect I'm missing something here, but it doesn't seem to make sense.

When a country has proven higher emissions, there should be consequences. Put a carbon tax on their exports.

If you and your gf don't want kids and you are sure about it - quit your job. If you want kids and your parents are ready to help you - quit your job.

You are young at 29, but for your girlfriend (if she's of the same age) it's time to think about kids, and think quickly.
You neglect the pointy-haired boss factor.

The tendency to pine for an ever-heavier minified, transpiled, inscrutable javascript blob, megabytes in size, also comes from bosses impressed by anyone displaying an aura of arrogance.

“Oh yeah? Well, I’mmm using [sparkle thingie] and it’s just sooo much better.”

That mode of thinking also comes from the top.

I once watched this turd of a middle manager lean on his underling, while sporting the biggest boss boner about basically nothing at all.

The mandate was that it's time to transpile everything under a new framework. One framework to rule them all.

So they get to this place where all the global variables are fucked, and it's a mess.

Just put everything
in namespaces, we NEED
to move forward.

Then, blah blah blah components, blah blah blah modules, blah blah blah Bruce and Harriet Nyborg. Totally clueless to the idea that he might sound like a total fucking sham.

It's just hot air. None of it's real. There's blood in the water only in the sense that when the annual reviews come around, woah! Look out! 1% raise coming through! Finally. Minted as assistant manager at burger king.

It's just puffy egos in the king's court. No one is solving real problems. It's all boondoggles and exercise bikes at another bullshit job.

Here. Plug this wad of ad tech into this garbage news article template. Gotta be able to say it's "newer" and "better" too. Moths to a flame.

Pointy-haired boss perks up at all the talk of pointy, shiny objects.

Well, I think it should
fluff my scrotum too, what
do you think?

I concur.

Now the ad tech gets bundled with a boss scrotum fluffer.

Sprints go by. And nothing is getting done. Floundering, aimlessly adrift in high seas. The JS blob just gets bigger and dumber, but we march on. It must transpile. We have to be able to say we're hip. That we're "with it" or everyone will laugh at us.

The old way is disgusting. And under a new boss it stinks of "not invented here" syndrome. The old boss owned it, so it must be terrible.

Underlings scuttle like cockroaches at footsteps, terrified of boss and middle manager. Truly fucking dickless assholes. Spineless, and without souls. Non-player characters.

The demands are put forward. Begging is silenced. People are fired. Heads roll. It must transpile. We need to be able to say that we "do that" or people will think we're dinosaurs. (even though we are)

It's kind of a joke to witness a death march in a technical role. Mostly because, if the team is such a push over, to even entertain what is obviously a death march, they probably aren't smart enough to do their job.

So, when you see cargo cult JS floating around, it's fair to estimate it as a product of clucking trendy drones, and wimps getting trampled by boss thundercock.
It seems to be a terminology confusion of mine. I did a bit of reading and it seems they're effectively the same thing implemented differently. An array processor in my mind was a lockstep SIMD thingy.

A vector processor as I understood it is nicely described here <https://www.quora.com/What-is-meant-by-an-array-processor-an... as "the earliest Crays had vector instructions, that quickly fed a stream of operands through a pipelined processor", which is not exactly the same implementation as SIMD, but after reflecting on your question, it does the same thing in the end.

So effectively no difference.

Also relevant <https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?t=401649> see reply of Accs who claims to have worked at cray, and also says in another post on the same thread "I think that Vector is nothing more than a special case of SIMD".

So, my error, hope above helps.

FYI you might want to read up on systolic arrays just for fun <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systolic_array>.

AMD did not want to release the expected 16 core yet, but had to release some "monster" to get at those hype-affected buyers. So they clocked/binned those 6-core chips accordingly, to make this core-lacking monster more attractive. It also makes sense to sell as many silicon chips in Ryzen 9 package as possible, instead of selling them in Ryzen 5 package - more luxurious, better margin. Of course, anybody who cares about value and does some research before buying expensive high-end parts will wait for the Intel-AMD exchange to play out, or for the 16-core to be announced, and only then buy the best option.
How do React hooks really work?
Naturally it depends on the business use case or product situation, but a lot of XYZ per client architectures fail because some things don't "scale down" enough while others don't "scale up" enough.

Warning: Broad generalizations ahead.

Most successful shard strategies work because each division is hopefully roughly uniform. It's kinda like with binary tress, they work best when balanced. Clients are often more of a long tail, skewed, distribution. You often have tons and tons of small clients where the per-client overhead could be painful, while at the same time your biggest clients might outgrow what you can support in a shard.

To strawman your pods/client, dealing with 1k vs 1mm individual deployments is way different than dealing with a clientId column where the unique elements go from 1k to 1mm. Good indexing might be cheaper. But if you different regulation domains (HIPPA, GDPR, China, etc.) it can be easier to just run whole different data centers.

These balancing acts are what make data infra problems fun to work on.
What are the proper abstractions necessary?
But then when the reporter comes back a few days later with a different receipt that _is_ valid and FedEx tries to give the canned response about not revealing customer transaction data... they inadvertently have. Because if it wasn’t customer transaction data then they would have simply said as much, as they did the last time.

Companies always respond with “no comment” for a good reason: to prevent people from drawing incorrect conclusions by reading between the lines as you are doing now.

> How is paying 8k more for taxes but 10k less on insurance or education not a win? Yeah you have higher taxes cry me a river your out of pocket spending is less.

It may well be a win! I think it is. But that’s not the pitch liberal Democrats are making. They’re saying “you can have European style benefits, but you won’t pay European style taxes. The top 1% and corporations will pay for all of it.” That’s not realistic.

> In Roosevelt's day anyone earning 1 million + was taxed at 95%. Basically meaning all their money went back to the state. It encouraged them to spend it on business and grow their business holdings.

Roosevelt’s economic ideas were bad and the US and Europe have spent decades unwinding similar policies. That’s the lesson liberal Democrats refuse to take away from Europe. The Reagan Revolution happened in Europe as well as the US. Industries were deregulated, businesses were privatized, and taxes were lowered. Europe continues to move further to the right.

And Germany, France, and Sweden don’t “soak the rich” as the US tries to do: https://images.app.goo.gl/xbVh5c9cXHqfMESx6. They have high but relatively flat taxes on individuals, and moderate taxes on corporations and capital gains. An in-depth comparison of Germany and US taxation is here: https://www.chicagofed.org/publications/chicago-fed-letter/2.... Overall US taxes are about 10% of GDP lower than Germany ($2 trillion). A small part of that difference comes from lower taxes on capital (23% versus 27% overall). The real difference is significantly lower taxes on labor, and massively lower taxes on consumption.

If we moved to a German tax system, it wouldn’t “soak the rich.” Capitalists would see their taxes go up a little. Labor and consumers would see their taxes go up massively.

https://relevant.community/relevant/top has a good mix of technology and culture/society content similar to HN.

The voting is based on a pagerank reputation system. Users earn reputation from getting thier comments upvoted and, in turn, increase the rank of the posts they upvote. This makes rankings sybil-resistant making manipulation harder and moderation easier. So far its been a great way to keep communities focused and resistant to mob mentality.

Each community manages their own reputation system (admins are in the personalization vector).

There is also a prediction-market mechanism overlayed on top of the rankings — you can bet on post's relevance within a given community (this is abstracted from the UX at the moment).

I'm aware of what C# does, that's why I said it was a tradeoff. Compare the number of languages on the JVM to those on the CLR to see why they made this tradeoff. The JVM folks are working on improving generics even further in upcoming releases.

I know about Joda time, that even another point in how mature the Java ecosystem is. There's no similar offering in golang.
there's a difference between power to attain freedom and the ability to carve out your own space, even in an oppressive environment. Nietzsche himself, as a wandering stateless man is a pretty good example of this.

As an individual with a limited amount of resources carving out autonomous spaces and avoiding whoever is bugging you, which is fundamentally a creative activity, is almost always more fruitful than trying to engage the powers that be in some sort of struggle to obtain the upper hand.

Hacker culture is a pretty good example of this. Cyberspace was never really about challenging authorities as much as it was about avoiding authority all together by moving into some other space that was up until that point unpoliced and opened up the possibility to create new things in an environment that wasn't full of hierarchies and established rules.

The plaintiff needs a unanimous decision by the jury to win, and has a limited amount of time to present arguments and to counter defense arguments. The Court actually keeps track of time used, and will cut them when they hit the limit.

The more uniform your audience is, the better chance you have to craft an argument that will work with all of them.

Suppose the trial involves some specialized field, and you have a jury with a wide range of knowledge about that field. Both plaintiff and defendant are going to include in their cases an explanation of the relevant field, pitched for the backgrounds of the jurors with the least prior knowledge.

If the jury also has people who are experts in that field, there are at least three potential problems.

1. They are going to be bored during the part where you are explaining the field to the rest of the jury, and might let their minds wander, and might miss something important.

2. Your primer on their field necessarily simplifies things, and if you simplify in a different way than they would, it could prejudice them against your case.

3. The other jurors may turn to them for guidance on the evidence relating to that field. That's problematical for two reasons.

3a. If the evidence relating to the field is in an area where experts in that field disagree, the other jurors will get the position of the expert juror, and will probably give that more weight than the testimony of exports at trial who take a different position.

In effect, the expert juror ends up also as a de facto expert witness in the trial--but an expert witness not subject to examination or cross examination.

3b. There is a danger that if the jury turns to the expert juror for help on the technical evidence, they will also tend to give more weight to that juror's opinion on the rest of evidence.
Literally the whole point of WASM is fast, sandboxed code. It's not a language, it's an LLVM target. So why turn LLVM IR into a native binary? It's basically the same thing as "native wasm", whatever that would mean. "Native wasm" is just JITed bytecode. Either that, or you're turning it into a normal binary, in which case, why even use WASM?

Java will use however much memory is assigned to it, since it defaults to throughput performance (though now with G1 and Shenandoah that can also be tuned)[1].

Compilation times are not that different, especially when using incremental compilation. I worked on large projects in both languages, and for any non-trivial code base, the difference isn't that far off.

I'd argue that readability is better in Java due to things like non-clutter due to error handling, and the existence of generics.

Deployment has been solved for a while now with building shadow jars[1].

Nope. Saying "removing a person who hurts other people is a form of hurt" is a form of semantic wordplay that hinges around two different social actions that _could_ be described with the same word, "hurt".

If you zoom out and understand the overall goal of the community, then this kind of wordplay is easily neutralized by understanding: "What kind of relationships, conversations, and communities do we want to create?"

AFAIK, it's assumed that the salt is compromised with the hash - it's stored alongside the hash. The point of the salt is to prevent lookups.

Does anyone have a reference for solving multi-armed bandit problems with a finite time horizon? I would like something that derives rules or heuristics for how your explore/exploit tradeoff changes as the horizon approaches.

That way the same binary could run on machines with different architectures. There is also work in progress to define common system api for wasm, which would allow to run the same binary on any platform.
I'm very surprised not to see "social recognition" (aka. validation) as a primary motivating factor.
That process happens to a degree in the US too, though the jury is treated more deferentially. After the verdict but before judgment is entered, there is a process of post-trial motions where the judge (who was present at the trial) looks at the record and decides if a reasonable jury could have reached that result.
Yeah could be. And my client base, as it were, are solely internal to the company I work for at this time and we have some knowledge and some cooperation over what versions of browsers people are using when it comes to web-based software. So support for older systems is largely unnecessary. That and building node backends the ES version doesn’t affect them anyway.

>but someone somewhere has to have a goal, or the whole enterprise is a colossal waste of time and resources.

free economies overall perform very well without having anybody setting goals. In healthy environments productive activity can very well be emergent without any sort of dictat.

In fact long plans and visions at big companies are often exactly what makes them slow, they operate like old tankers that set course on some pre-planned direction and aren't flexible enough to switch course simply because they organise decisions top-down.
I might try doing this as a learning project. Can you offer any advice as to what those abstractions are? I'd appreciate some advice to avoid the "going back" part.
