The different notations tripped us up big time a while ago at my company. A class of our devices used to get their machine name set from the serial number in the BIOS. On the older models these started with letters. Then we got a new model and the serial numbers on these were just long numbers. So far so good.

After a while we noticed that a lot of them (around 30%) didn't work on the network. It took a while to figure out that some of the serial numbers got interpreted as octal IP addresses so pinging them didn't resolve through DNS but instead went straight to the (wrong) IP.

In hindsight this could have been predicted but it just shows that often a design that made sense when it was created can cause huge headaches later on. Now we prefix all serial numbers with some letters to make sure they don't get misinterpreted.

Never give up. Always be striving. Be grateful for the things you have, and it's not bad to be working for something a little bit better.

The first two were due to their anti-competitive strategy not working for them. You can only build the moat if you've already got all the customers inside. Microsoft consistently bet on closed systems: Compuserve-like "information superhighway" rather than the Internet, ActiveX versus "DHTML" (which would become Web 2.0) and Flash.

The "bad" OSs weren't really that bad, but they were attempts to force a big change on people without too much choice, and people absolutely hate that. Note how the successors kept most of the same underlying features while dialling back the UI redesign.

I think of it as similar to buying a "name a star" package. Sure you have faintly increased the commercial incentive to make more stars, and you have claimed that star as yours, but in another way the universe doesn't notice and there are still the same amount of stars regardless. Then people buying eco tariffs shout at me.
Eon is an awful company to deal with. I still have an outstanding issue from 2013 that they refuse to resolve. I get an automated call EVERY DAY demanding payment even though I have proven to them again and again that they in fact owe me money. You are not given an option to speak to a human. These types of calls should not be allowed. Endless waiting times if you try to contact them only to speak to someone who (a) has to have everything explained to them again (b) is not empowered to resolve the issue. Very frustrating. Renewable energy or not, avoid Eon.
There's nothing specifically bash about it, but here's what the components mean:

"kill" = kill running process

"-9" = kill as forcefully as possible

"$(...)" = command substitution: run the stuff inside the brackets and replace this term with the results (it will be the processes to kill in this case).

"lsof" = list open files (other things like ports and devices count as files on Unix systems)

"-i" = search for internet address

":19421" = local machine, port 19421

I think they're missing a "-t" on lsof, to make it output process IDs only ("terse mode") instead of a human-readable table:

kill -9 $(lsof -t -i :19421)

I agree with your overall point. However, I think that there's also a sense in which to many people it is important to be able to succeed even if the success itself isn't important. It's the classic "got something to prove" situation. I think that in many cases the process of proving themselves brings happiness.

It reminds me of a quote I remember from an old article on T-Nation that goes something like "Its true that the majority of bodybuilders started due to some insecurity. However, its probably a lot healthier than the way that most people deal with their insecurity".
Ask HN: What is the best way to learn computer science on your own in 2019?
There are just so many Github pages recommending a learning path for computer science that is is quite hard to choose. I've gone back and forth between resources, read people's opinions, and I can't seem to figure out which learning path to commit to.

Can anybody in the industry, or anybody who has successfully gone through an entire learning path, vouch for how to go about this as a recent undergraduate who did not study computer science?

Yes, this is the question I come to. The article betrays its own claim...

> Gustafson said that for training, 32-bit floating point is overkill and in some cases doesn’t even perform as well as the smaller 16-bit posits

If posits have a bit number, then they are not of variable accuracy. This is simply sloppy explaining.

At some point, rounding has to happen (call it an interval if you want, but you're not being helpful). As a programmer, I WANT rounding to happen. I depend on it. You don't break out the floats unless you are prepared for some information to be lost. If you try to never lose any information, then you wind up with a monstrosity like Maple and Mathematica in which all steps need to be curated by hand to occasionally reduce the giant glob of fractions and implicit solves into something concrete, but imperfect.

I read the article and took a glance at https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2018/04/11/anatomy-of-a-posit..., but I'm still completely unable to answer this question of how accuracy is shed.

Once you have spent years not being bored thanks to constant availability to Youtube, Netflix and plethora of scrolling options on phone it becomes really _hard_ to be bored.

A lot of people of my generation actually need Netflix to fall asleep, which I find frankly disturbing. The eyeball economy is an addiction, maybe not as dangerous as other ones, so we just live with it.

These guys aren't exactly the utility company. So in one sense that's good, they aren't the ones taking the call when a tree falls on a power line, or some idiot hits a cable while digging a trench, or your whole street blacks out for no apparent reason. That's a problem for a Network Operator, a natural monopoly which will have emergency contact numbers and in my experience those are fairly good at answering, although obviously only calls about actual problems with their supply network.

The "supplier" for a consumer is actually basically just a bunch of legal contracts, a spreadsheet, a marketing budget and a call centre. And you do end up calling them when things go wrong with that part, which is too often. I usually end up talking to them at least once near the start of a relationship because they got something important wrong, and when I move home or any circumstances change.

It _should_ all be seamless but it often isn't. And ordinary consumers don't understand that it's just spreadsheets, they are genuinely distressed that a screw-up might mean their lights stop working, their food is ruined in the fridge etcetera. So this creates a reluctance to even risk using a different "supplier".

Right now it's super smooth for me, I went to full "smart meter" billing, there's a wireless box somewhere telling what it'll cost when I remember to look and the money vanishes from my current account on cue, no action needed for years at a time (need to review the tarif design, ie mix of fixed and variable charges online every few years or you get a shit default deal). But a decade ago I spent months contesting charges with one of these suppliers because they had a meter reference down wrong in some database and couldn't get the fix to "stick" so I'd get next door's usage billed, I'd complain, they'd "fix" it, same next month, repeat.

Bad behavior for unknown protocols is not a MacOS specific problem.

> The leap year cycle is 4 days (excluding the 100 year skips)

I think you mean “The leap year cycle is 4 days (excluding the 100 year skips, except every fourth 100 years when they don’t),” eg how 2000 was a leap year despite this individual rule.

Yeah, in normal adult social circles if you behave like an asshole you get ignored and if you force others to put up with you you get kicked out and police is called if you refuse.

If the social circle you are in doesn't kick assholes you find another one.

But in school someone can just terrorize everyone else with impunity because people are usually not expelled, you can't easily choose a school that expels people and the abusers don't care about being ostracized or potentially expelled because they don't care about being in school in the first place.

These things happen slowly, over a period of time. People will be up in arms if it happened overnight, but since it is happening (relatively) slowly, people often don't take notice, and if they do notice, they kinda brush it off. There is also the mentality of "I did nothing wrong, it won't happen to me ever"

Also, most people are just trying to survive, with their mediocre pay and boring jobs. It is not like the 50s and 60s where people had the time and energy to protest

> The society will not like your attitude; expect to experience continuous peer pressure. Nearly everyone is hard-coded with the unconditional "never give up", "hope dies last" and so on.

This is only true in US and perhaps a handful of other countries. In most of the world, society tells you to NOT follow your dreams, as they know from experience that this will usually end badly for both you and those close to you. I.e. even if you want to be a painter, your family in India or Eastern Europe will work very hard at convincing you to become a doctor, an engineer or something else "safe". They do it for your own sake (only minority of art students make it and are satisfied with their careers) and also for their own - it's no fun supporting a grown-up son/daughter that is a financially struggling and possibly depressed.

Remember this is used by police to find suspects, not to replace the judge.

It means that just looking at a picture, 2 suspects every ten are successfully recognized

Compared to the system we have now, were to find who's guilty police have to go trough a list of suspects were all of them except one (or a few) is innocent, 2 every 10 is very good.

We're not talking about considering people guilty until proven innocent, but helping police to investigate in the right direction.

I’d take a different approach to your preparation:

Try to find videos of FB officers (Zuck, Sandburg) who have already been publicly grilled.

Most likely on a corporate level, FB employees already know how to answer and respond to most of these privacy questions.

That means you need to figure out their initial canned responses, what assumptions they’re building on, and prepare a line of questioning/reasoning to chip away at their logic in follow-ups.

Right. From the article, the stages are:

Yeah looks like it didn't have the intended effect, some people consider moving away from webpack due to this: " Someone should really rethink if this is the most effective way to get donations (while I rethink if webpack should be kept in our toolchain)."
Which is understandable, everytime something breaks is an opportunity to rethink whether you really need that dependency, and if so whether there would be a better alternative implementation .
So much waste. We’ve built a mountain of bullshit while the world burns.

California and Germany spent 680 BILLION dollars on renewables. If they’d spent that much on nuclear power instead, they’d have unlimited carbon-free green energy TODAY.

A viable alternative (if you don't have qualms with this instead) is avocado farming. Depending on climate (i.e., such as colder regions) the net water use can actually be similar (or say 2:1) when switching from eucalyptus to avocados; there still needs to be some amount of research done on this.

EDIT: To be clear, in warmer microclimates the irrigation is more water intensive because your loss of water due to irrigation is high. Some advances such as drip irrigation can mitigate this, and in theory things like mulching and super absorbent materials can get the water use down even further.

Yes, but because of increased risk of disease and lower physical ability, you would also be a larger strain on your group/family. I think we should see this more as a survival of offspring and less as fathering more offspring.
Reminds me of the build script I found in a single-dev project I inherited: failed due to truncated/missing leading zero when the wall clock was earlier than 10 am. My predecessor was notoriously late at the office, it would have worked for him every single time.
Not necessarily. Textures are high frequency low abstraction data forms, shapes are low frequency high abstraction data forms.

The former are easier to learn for multiple reasons:
The nature of higher frequency data means that you have more samples.

(There are far more furry textures in a picture of a cat than there are toes, paws, legs etc.)

Low abstraction data forms are also learnt in earlier layers of the network - more abstract forms are resolved through the understanding of how less abstract forms group together, making the low abstraction forms a prerequisite to more in depth learning.
I can imagine how it went down though.

1. What sustainable business models will Facebook pursue that respect or even facilitate user privacy?

2. What will be simple to use mechanisms / technologies / standards employed by FB to allow users to identify and delete their private information?

3. Will those privacy control mechanisms be standardized across Facebook products / technologies?

4. Will there be an effort to open source technologies / standards with respect to user privacy, so they can be peer reviewed and if good implemented by others in the industry?

Thanks for your efforts!
