Or otherwise paid for (which I think still counts as 'ads'), or tuned towards engagement.

I think quite a lot has to do with machine learning working out that if you panic the human animal they pay attention to threats, and therefore to maximize engagement 'if it bleeds, it leads' (old newspaper maxim). Newspaper editors can (and might not) automatically apply a social-benefit heuristic or sense of social shame (not wanting to be a 'muckraker' or troublemaker), and machine learning may not even start with such a concept.

If engagement was maximized by turning viewers into cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers (CHUDs), machine learning would simply make note of that and run as hard as it could in that direction, since it doesn't have a larger context in mind unless programmed to do so.

(Such a larger context is actually sort of controversial: lot of people demonize the very concept of social justice, and without it you get these hacks to maximize engagement by tapping into really unmanageable human/animal behaviors)
Yes, but this is one of those rare areas where the purported academic "state of the art" is far below the _actual_ state of the art in the industry. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that they're releasing results at all, and NLP has gotten really exciting in the past couple of years thanks to those publications. It's just that there seems to be a bit of a research bubble going on and people are veering into ever more exotic and obscure problems before they've achieved _actual_ SOTA result on even some of the most common language pairs.

It shouldn't be obvious that startup is slower and I didn't mean UI reaction, but the more broader reaction time. For example from typing a location and hitting enter, it should take something like Google Maps zero point two seconds at most to completely load the page and be done with everything. The user shouldn't have a concept of "loading time" and that includes starting the application.
I think this perspective is totally underrated. When I compare a lot of people's careers I see these dynamics jumping out at me a lot. Timing timing timing. Autonomy too. When you're decent at what you do and you're allowed to do it, it turns out you can do good things. When you do good things you get more of the right kind of experience. Gaining that experience is rare in the first place thus making you even more rare and valuable (in the right context).

I'm glad I'm not the only one out there that sees it like this.

Picolisp being considered mainstream in any capacity is a pleasant surprise. Might I suggest two more Lisps that I use: Carp and TXR? I also like Picat as an evolution of Prolog.
You forgot a multiplier and that is "increases the productivity of their peers and the company."

A 10X developer isn't necessarily more productive in themselves, but they enable increased productivity in everything and everyone they touch.

A strong lead developer who has keen business acumen, steers product strategy to increase value, mentors their peers to up their game and increase their productivity is where you separate the 1X developers from the 10X+ developers. When you end up with a team of these people, this is where magic is made. A developer that brings this value may be many times more than a 10X developer.
I’m just saying that from an ROI perspective, doing this for Staten Island but not Manhattan seems short-sighted.

Hi guys !

It is by doing a lot of mountain sports in the French Alps like hiking, skiing, trail running or paragliding that the idea of Relief Maps came to me.

I was always looking for an easy to use GPS app with appealing features for outdoor sports, but I was not happy with what existed and was not seeing much evolutions comming. So I started developing my own App and that's how the Relief Maps project was born.

There is still a lot of work to do on the app but I'll be happy to know what you think about it !

It doesn't matter if your manager is rational or not. Establishing trust and being a good coworker also means getting them on board on an emotional level. If this is something that you cannot do yet, then this is definitely a skill worth polishing.
The UK has an extensive potash mine. Quite an amazing site - it extends out under the North Sea in places and has a laboratory doing various interesting science: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulby_Mine

But what struck me about it was the seemingly pretty scary thought that we are apparently dependent on non-renewable sources like this to stay alive, and everyone continues life like it's a sensible way to proceed. What happens if/when supplies are interrupted? Or the mineral is mined out?
The example with the plumber was for illustrative purposes to show that:
1) It's not company info, but a person's. Generally, this person wouldn't be opposed to having his info crowdsourced as it means more business.
2) Verifying if this information is publicly available can be time-consuming and tedious, so not something I'd want to get into. I.e., if this plumber walks around handing out flyers it's public, but you can't google him as he's not really into expanding his online presence.
>The I-Team wanted to know how much of that money came from marketing firms, but the agency in charge of driver information estimated it would take 154 hours of research and cost nearly $3,000 for the state to give taxpayers an answer.

I'm no rocket scientist but $3,000 (USD) is less than $77M (USD), yeah?

>That’s because Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles said companies buying data on Floridians are not allowed to use that information for marketing.

What did they expect it to be used for? Genealogy reports? /s
When you need efficient parallel map or reduction you often go back to low-level C loops wrapped in a pretty map/reduce/array package like numpy or R.

I'd argue that Einstein Summation like

`C[i, j] = A[i, k] * B[k, j]` is much more natural than any composition of map reduce you may use to describe the loops of matrix multiplication.
while I applaud the author, but it didn't entirely settle well with me... I guess it still amounts to misuse of one's resources. in this case twitter.

Use Rust's `const fn`. In its current state you can't do any looping, Nor any other control flow. Fun times.

Doing recursion works easily enough but the hard part is stopping.
I have a workflow where I spawn and close terminals depending on whether I want something done. If my terminal startup wasn't instantaneous, I'd be switching to one that was. (Currently using urxvt). The only reason I keep my browser open is because it doesn't start instantaneously. Imagine a world where your computer and all your apps can start instantaneously. It would be viable to shutdown your computer when leaving the room instead of just locking it.

In this reality, however, I would already be happy if tabs in a browser could load that fast, so I wouldn't have to keep hundreds of them open all the time.

Even if not used in production, Self is one of the influential ones on the list. Self did JIT before Java, did prototype object model before JS, and did visual morph objects that I'd guess influenced Squeak and others.

Unfortunately the providers of the OS'es we use don't bother with this.

I think web technologies are a bridge that many like to use because of the sad state of things in the UI domain.
Our first year coding lecturer did similar, but instead of teaching us Java (which is what most other classes used at the time) he insisted we use Gofer.

From the point of view of a student who was excited to finally learn "real" programming, having this toy language crammed down our throats instead, along with a side-serving of smugly academic FP-superiority, was enough to sour me on FP for a long time.

Hopefully you gave your students this more as "here's a neat trick to add to your toolbox" and not "listen up plebs, iteration is for losers."
I can definitely say that you just have an average mind.
Isn't recidivism the kind of filter that causes people to become recidivist, though?
I went Googling for an answer to refute your statement and came across this article from Science Daily - https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/03/180323090958.h... - that supports your argument.

In my view, the key barriers to landfill mining are the same as those faced by today's recycling industry: the costs involved in extracting value from waste (someone has to pay the pickers working in the recycling sheds - possibly one of the worst jobs in the world); and finding viable, stable and sustainable markets for the materials that do get extracted. Volatile recyclate markets were a huge problem for sustainable recycling back in 2000 and I doubt much has changed since then.
Right, but if the can create a regulatory environment that makes it impossible for anyone but juggernauts to compete, then they’re securing that future.

I suppose the question is where the moral outrage originates - with the puritans, or did someone plant that idea in their minds by hijacking the agenda?
maybe because you are the 10x
I think there are different flavors of 10x. The people that I've worked with that I would consider to be of the 10x variety weren't the kind of 'trail of destruction' type that some people tend to talk about.

I worked with a guy, great engineer, great guy, deep domain knowledge and a very solid understanding all the way through the stack. He was a great mentor and only barked when he was absolutely too slammed to help, which was rare. The thing that always amazed me is not only did he consult on all the really difficult stuff and ship it, but frequently you would come back to code you wrote recently and it would look nicer, cleaner and just a little more polished. He'd been in there leaving not a trail of destruction, but a trail of cleaning.

Now, I have also heard of the trail of destruction kind too. They're more like -10x though. They just pump it out really fast, but super low quality. IMO that's a bad kind of 10x to be. It's 10x the recklessness. A truly great engineer is one that can help the team and the company avoid writing as much code as possible. As such I don't consider the 'trail of destruction' 10xers to be 10xers, but rather really fast cowboys.
I would have included Picat and Kitten. Picat is a descendant of Prolog that has some rather nice differences in semantics. Kitten is a statically-typed concatenative language.
>>I think it's good to draw a distinction between visual design and functional design.

There's no such thing as a non-functional design! If it's non-functional, than it's either a piece of art or a piece of crap.

There's a fairly large contingent in tech that leans libertarian while also recognizing the impending climate disaster. A climate tax is simply accounting for the externalities of your actions.

I wouldn't at all assume that somebody on this site advocating for a carbon tax would take care to not make it regressive, and I think parent's lumping it in with bird strikes (a total red herring considering nobody is talking about banning cats or glass windows) and lithium ion mining (a failure to account for opportunity cost) is pretty conclusive.

That said, I'd be happy to learn I'm mistaken.
This list is far from being complete. Brainfuck is missing ;-)
> Can you imagine hearing that some dude is walking really far and going to see an improvised carnival with an entourage of “bodyguards” with whips keeping people away from some guy walking thousands of laps around a track?

The right person could absolutely pitch this as a reality TV show.

The culture of the past looks different because the material conditions are different, but what are people really doing here? There's gambling, an ordinary person gaining memetic celebrity, and an audience watching someone struggle with physical endurance. All of those are present in the culture of today as then as in ancient Rome. Just their focus and intensity differs.
> But the fact that they can ease up on background checks and see an immediate large bulk of car thefts is damning evidence that the background checks were truly having a real impact on preventing theft.

No, it isn't “damning evidence”, it's at best a suggestive indication which is easily consistent with other alternatives.

In fact, there is extremely compelling evidence that the old background check policy was not what was protecting them in the article: “By midweek the company suspended service in Chicago altogether, an acknowledgment that it couldn’t figure out how to distinguish legitimate customers from the group of thieves.” The obvious first guess of how to distinguish legitimate customers from thieves would be exactly the method they had been using right before the event that has supposedly prevented similar evebts—suspend every new account that was checked until they agree to a background check and it is completed and, if the old method was really working, everything would be fine. This is so obvious that if they just threw up their hands and couldn't figure it out, it means either they didn't believe the system was doing it or they didn't believe the problem in Chicago represented a general problem that should be protected against, just a local aberration; either way, it doesn't really seem consistent with the idea that even they believe there is some widespread general problem that the background checks were preventing.
Unfortunately humans care more about their relative wealth than their absolute wealth. So telling them that objectively their life isn't all that bad is not very effective when they see their neighbors having a lot more wealth.
After working with ~ 30 odd programmers, I would probably classify myself as a 10x. I think a good chunk of HN'ers are 10x, with imposter syndrome of course.

1. Patience - I have the patience to sit through and fix a bug. Googling it, reading the source ... this is fun for me. 1x programmers give up very often and very soon. They either blame others, feel pity for themselves for not figuring it out or hate the computer for giving the wrong answer.

2. Fuck OOP - I stick to the separation between data and code. If I am forced to use OOP, I abuse the command pattern. My code is procedural for the most part. Procedural code is easier to debug .. usually, when I see a bug, I know the exact function. 1x go "wow" at this, whereas I feel like an Imposter.

3. Tools - This would probably be my biggest sin and probably where I could be a bit of a hipster. I stick to tools and libraries that make me productive.

4. News - I try to keep up with the latest news. This often helps me leverage the next best thing for increased productivity.

5. Egoless - I don't care about rewriting, throwing away and deleting code ... trying a new library. 1x programmers get attached to their babies.

6. My code is not a mess, your ideology is a mess - I've found it easier to work with absolute beginners, 0x, than "experienced" programmers who like to throw jargon around. Beginners tend to find my code easy to follow, easy to fix, easy to debug. The first instinct of the "experienced" is to rewrite it because it's not "clean" enough for them. I'd rather you look at the forest than the tree. The whole thing delivers 80% of what business users want! I've had three projects where I did in two weeks what a group 10 programmers took months and that's sad.

Things where I can imporve

1. Testing - I usually do a lot of integration testing for the critical paths.

2. Security - I always tell people to hire pen-testers but no one ever listens!

3. Documentation - My biggest weak point of all. In my defense, I choose functions names reasonably stupidly. I think it's good move to hire great documentation writers.

4. Complex Algorithms and Maths - Always good to know more! This is where I have to rely on 100x programmers to come up with a good library. I aspire to be 100x.

>It seems that a lot of users will upload video which is by default published [and then they change it to private] //

So to avoid that sort of unexpected public-ing (ie publishing) only one extra scrape would be needed. Or, if they knew the period over which the setting was normally changed then they could just delay the scrape until most would have already been changed.

I imagine though, in part, the 'fun' is catching inadvertent publication and morality is no t considered.
I think true -1x devs are also rare like 10x devs. To be -1x everything you "contribute" has to be a net negative. They are out there, but I think they're also rare.
It sure does. Which is why I try to spend it on things I care about, and not things my (landlord, student/car/mortgage debt servicer), etc. cares about.

It's easier to not spend a million bucks than to make a million bucks.

I love cities and fine food, but eventually I realized how much I was paying for the privilege and decided I wanted out. A cheap house and a garden go a long ways.
Read what dancek said again. In Rust `a..b` means

a <= x < b

So 0..256 is

0 <= x < 256

That is "less than" 256. There's no equals (that would be `0..=256` in Rust).
I think the point they were driving at was not that nobody can change their goals. It is just inconceivable to them that that is not failure. To set a different goal, you must first fail at the last one (if you did not achieve it).

That is of course a way to look at your life that is perfectly okay, but it certainly wouldn't be my preference.
The article actually mentions this concept was invented in Japan not China; and what about that agenda pushing thing? Like you can't use any other form of comment system to fake a social reaction and push an agenda.

Yes! healthcare informatics is so much more than just dispensing magical vitamins, when MDs and patients need painkillers. We have had terms like PHR and EHR for thirty years now, we have HL7, together with FHIR, and we have PACS, but these terms are still not ubiquitous. There has been major developments in developing classifiers like SNOMED, AHCI and ICD, yet MDs mostly still type the diagnosis up, and consider themselves lucky if the HIS has some templating capability. And very few HISes are capable of getting the personal health records to the patient - i mean, it is more likely you get a xerox of your case than something in a portable format that other HISes can understand if you change your healtcare provider...

However, it is somewhat strange that personal health projects keep dying - google health discontinued in 2011, microsoft healthvault to be closed in 2019 - and these are by major players - maybe somebody has some insight why they fail?

To me, the idea of a narrow purpose garbage robot operating in the confines of a landfill sounds more plausible than a self-driving car meant to operate an "open world" scenario populated by other AI and humans alike (aka streets with car, bikes and pedestrians on them). And a lot less dangerous to human life too when they are buggy.
Agreed.

I think there is a bit of Dunning-Kruger going on too. The "architecture astronaut" variety always manage to introduce mountains of tech debt.
