If you are doing SL 5x5 correctly you don't need coach because you start with an empty bar. What you should do is to read and watch tutorials on how to perform each lift correctly. Then as your progress you can do some recordings to check your form, but there is no need to out source that stuff. Just take things slow.

Only time someone starting has had issues with form is when they rush things. Either they don't start with empty bar and progressively add weight each week and they jump to higher weights or they rush the setup.

When I started I just watched videos of the lifts I was about to make on Youtube and started with empty bar. Now 2 years later I've obviously progressed to programs that better suite me, but I've had no issues. I have no doubt that my form isn't 100% perfect, but seeing the clients of the personal trainers at my gym my form is way better than average and it is completely because I have a check list in my mind for each lift.

Off topic: while I'm writing about SL 5x5 the biggest issue I had with the program was squatting every day. I was fat when I started so even low bar weight made my knees hurt and it put me off on squatting for months, but now with reduced squatting (once per week) I have no issues squatting even heavier weights.

> Release logic/scripts needs to be accessible

More than accessible: all scripts must be in git just like source code because that is also source code.

Building releases should be done using a fresh VM. Creating and configuring that VM should only use a script which is also in git.

Everything needs to be automated using scripts. If you type "apt-get" on the command line you have lost reliability. When multiple people are involved, such manual setups will be a problem at some point: people make mistakes. Manual steps also means you have lost good testing of the build process.
So can someone explain to my why the Tesla stock made a nose dive to about $170 and is now almost back to where it was 3 months ago?

I don't understand how such huge volatility could happen assuming that the efficient market hypothesis is real.
Do they? Evolutionary psychology in particular seems like myth making more than anything else. Though, myth can produce a sensation of insight...
Machining bamboo is also harder on the tools because of its high silicate content.
Popper concerns itself with test-ability, not truth. Something can be both untestable and true.

Occams razor says more about human psychology and beliefs than it does about reality.

In any case I was not arguing that this scenario represents the true state of the universe, but am arguing against grand parent's argument that we can conclude consciousness is physical without making certain assumptions about the nature and design of the universe, even if empirically it is our best guess.
Not so sure about Tesla having figures out automotive mass production. Cannot comment on the software side of things, but I donhave the impression that Tesla is ahead of more traditional car makers there.
>> Most people I know that don't lift don't care about body shapes

> Everyone and I mean literally everyone cares about appearances. No matter how you slice it everyone has a style they are trying to project. This same goes for body shape.

Even those few people who are too lazy or apathetic to project an image on purpose have preferences about others' appearances. This is literally the reason why advertising uses professional models to sell products.
Franky Zapata: Flyboard inventor fails in cross-Channel bid
It might just be a Markov chain “AI”.
There is something significant about learning to coordinate the firing of signals to a dozen muscles at once (and maintain those GO signals for the duration of the rep) which cannot be replicated any way other than lifting a big weight with one or more major muscle groups.

Also, as an aside, for the duration of that one rep, (if the weight is sufficiently heavy for the lifter) the mind narrows focus completely - no other conscious thoughts are present at that time. This is an interesting contrast to how many of our HN-type minds usually operate.
You forgot to mention that your theory requires that _nothing_ gave birth to _everything_ via _undefined behaviours_ with intelligence and consciousness being mere side effects. That's at least as silly as the other explanation.

> there's obviously no super transparent cord going off to soul land.

You make it sounds extra silly by using this type of language. Remember when hardcore scientists were saying "my dear you must be mad to think the earth is round", or "yeah OBVIOUSLY the stars are pinned to crystal spheres, they can't just fly, that would be silly".

Anyway, the only thing we can be sure of is that we just don't know. Everything else is simply stories we tell ourselves to make us feel better. We play little games, but not all games offer the same experiences.
> Good reporting cross-checks multiple sources, often seeking out conflicting ones, and trying to form a coherent story out of that.

To me such reporting is not good enough.

Have you read Asimov's Foundation? There's a character named Lord Dorwin who's interested in finding he truth about a certain subject, and whose method is to analyze and reconcile the opinions of "old masters" who have "covered the ground" before. Asimov explains quite scathingly why that doesn't work.

Grandparent comment is right: a reporter needs to be hands-on with the topic. If you write about overspending, and you only asked experts but never added two numbers in Excel yourself, what makes you qualified to weigh the opinions of experts?
I just use `cargo watch -x test -d 5` to run all my tests after I pause modifying code for 5 seconds.

My editor (emacs) uses `cargo watch -x check -d 0.5` to run `cargo check` (which is blazing fast for incremental edits) to type check all the code and show "red squiggles" with the error messages inline.

So my interactive workflow with Rust is only edit-"type check"-edit-"type check" where "type check" takes often less than a second.

Asynchronously in the background, the whole test suite (or the part that makes sense for what I'm doing) is always being run. So if a test actually fails to run, I discover that a little bit later.

I don't know any language for which running all tests happens instantaneously. With Rust, if anything, I write less tests because there are many things I don't need to check (e.g. what happens on out-of-bounds accesses).

This is the best workflow I've ever had. In C++ there was no way to only run type checking, so one always had to run the full compilation and linking stages, where linking took a long time, and you could get template instantiation errors quite late, and well, linking errors. I don't think I've ever seen a Rust linking error. They probably do happen, but in C++ they happen relatively often (at least once per week).

Fusion has advantages over Wind and PV; it works like a nuclear power plant. That means you can build a large plant where the power is needed and then provide it continously without stopping. Wind and PV can't do that unless you add buffer technology, but even that has limits.

Fusion can easily provide 100% of our baseline power needs and because it's powered by the most common elements in the solar system, it can easily be harvested (even from solar wind, which should deliver more than enough to power humanity with fairly little effort). Fusion is essentially the key to unlocking unlimited power (insert emperor palpatine here).

With only 100'000 tonnes of water, filtered for deuterium, the US could cover it's annual electricity needs entirely. The Mississipi provides this much water over 6 seconds.

Any proof to back this up? I just interviewed at places in various Western European countries and when I rejected offers I was being asked what they could do to keep me. Sounds like the article says the exact opposite.
In C++, std::map's operator[] will either return the element pointed to by the specified key, or if the key is not in the map, will default construct an object and insert it into that key's slot in the map.

I really want to know who thought this was a good idea, because I've only ever seen this behavior act as a footgun.

Make Them Want. Delay. Fulfill. Repeat
Yeah, at least they notified customers. I found a similar issue issue at a financial services company (money lending) where I previously worked as a junior dev. A dev accidentally added a log statement to debug something that made it to production. To make matters worse, the logs were also sent off to 3rd party log aggregator that we used and all devs had access to.

The company refused to do anything. No emails sent, not even a forced password reset. The dev who made the mistake responded with "This is not a real concern. I am disappointed we spent so much time working on this." I brought it up with the CTO who essentially did nothing. Then I brought it up with CEO who came to our standup where the responsible dev than said something along the lines of "we don't serve any heads of state, so it doesn't really matter." CEO did nothing. I emailed the general counsel who told me no one else brought it up with him.

I think I gave notice 2 weeks later. The general counsel apparently left within a year (not sure if related).
The demographic point is true, but it really invalidates the whole thing, because you have to be assuming that the same people who buy a Tesla would have otherwise bought a Mercedes S class and not e.g. a Corvette or Porsche. If the Telsa owners skew younger or have other demographic differences from ordinary luxury car purchasers then the comparison is meaningless without factoring that in because you're measuring the driver behavior as much as the cars. (And choosing "luxury cars" rather than "sports cars" or just "cars" as the comparison is maximally unfavorable, since luxury vehicles are generally the safest available regardless of driver.)

All of what you say seems basically true, I still don't understand why the tipping subsidizing what restaurateur should pay as wages isn't even seen as much of an issue but DD drivers should be a special case, is all, other than "we're more used to it at restaurants so it's fine"
It's not simple sarcasm. There's plenty of truth in it, so there's an element of knowing self-deprecation - not just on Elizabeth's part, but also Austen's, because the sentiment that would have been recognised by many of her readers.

Austen herself was in the same position as Elizabeth, with a tiny inheritance that provided no financial security. So P&P is as much a fantasy about finding financial safety as it is about finding a man.

Too much fuel would estinguish the fire, similar to too much fuel in a car engine will cause it to stall.

The high temperatures necessary for fusion are only attainable at low masses, if too much fuel enters the reactor, it cools down and becomes inert. The fuel itself is not radioactive and safe for consumption in reasonable amounts (heavy water inhibits biological processes if it becomes too much in concentration, but unless you drink straight from the heavy water tanks for days, this is essentially not an issue)
With dynamic languages like python it's trivial. Calculate the position and peek it.

With static languages it's still easy when you got enough information: source code, timing info and ordering (e. g JSON). With a proper SAT solver doable.

Leaking by accident is e.g even more trivial in perl, just set a magic ENV var. But peeking the fixed offset is easiest.

It's all just security theatre. There's no real use-case for something so slow as Siphash.
Most people can’t distinguish a good coach from some buff person with confidence and a track suit. There are surely more bad coaches than good ones.

One of the fun challenges I have in my current job is that we provide releases to customers according to the customers schedule (which is related to needing hours of downtime because it's a creaky old system).

Some customers will skip releases altogether making strategies like add a new column, back populate it online, then the next release uses the new value impossible.

I guess that point is slightly moot when it'd take 2-3 releases to achieve the end goal and each release cycle is about a month.

A competent and responsible programmer should know how good, on a scale from cheaply done prototype to provably optimal, the 24-hour report is. In the first case, rewriting for better performance is part of the first implementation, not a risky change.

I always feel like people who write these never faced SQL schema changes or dataset updates. I wonder what rollback plans are in place for complete MySQL replication chains, for example.
I like this article, but am a bit disappointed they didn't mention another reason not understanding the system is bad: possibly-unknown biases baked into the data set. For example, a machine learning system designed to guess who is a criminal that is trained on existing police arrest data, say, would likely conclude that being poor or black is an indicator of criminality somewhere within the model. But we can only find that out by experimentation, we can't see how it works. There's a huge risk in this type of bias laundering, when suddenly it's not “the biased police think”, it's “the computer thinks”.
Oh okay, I can agree with you there. But I think as a general rule, if something is done less than once a day and it's already a heavily indexed table you can probably skip the index unless it's a massive or potentially massive table. In that case it may be worth exploring alternatives.

Eucalypts are known to not be great for topsoil quality, degrading and depleting soil (especially as they're not nutrient fixers):

> In a forest environment, SOM originates mainly from litterfall and litter decomposition. It is well known that the litter quality of eucalypts is low (Woods 1974). Eucalypt leaf litter contains large amounts of phenolics (Bernhard-Reversat et al. 2001) which are antibiotic and anti-feeding agent for invertebrate and vertebrate fauna (Waterman and Mole 1994; Harborne 1997). Eucalypt litter quality leads to low biological activity and results in a low litter decomposition rate in eucalypt plantations.

The result of using eucalypts is definitely mixed at best (https://www.aimspress.com/fileOther/PDF/agriculture/agrfood-...) but at the end GP is probably excessive, eucalypts are inferior to almost any other tree species for soil quality but they're not as bad as agricultural land:

> Our results indicate that soils in eucalyptus stands surrounding Ethiopian Orthodox church forests are more acidic and Eucalyptus may have some additional drawbacks that are not considered in this study. Though increased levels of organic matter should function have lower levels of organic matter and nutrients than soils in adjacent indigenous forest. However, there is also evidence that eucalyptus plantations exhibit higher organic matter and nutrient levels in comparison to nearby agricultural land, and no significant decrease in soil pH.

I'm super glad for navigation apps in Los Angeles. In fact, the main reason I finally adopted a smartphone was because of how frequently a different route can save you a half hour of waiting in traffic (or more).

But I'm even more glad that I learned to navigate LA via map and memory well before I came to rely on GPS.

Lately I've been trying to keep that fresh by taking a moment to mentally walk through the navigation instructions before I start traveling somewhere. Having the overview in your head -- even if you forget some of it -- makes a world of difference between building a geographic model and just following instructions.

Somewhere in here there's probably a lesson or two about the difference between augmentation and automation, but it's not one I've teased out well enough to articulate better than this.

Your ideal engineer seems to be someone who devotes their life to your business at the cost of their personal health and betterment. Someone who’ll burn out when they realize their employer only sees them as a tool to be used and having any personal life or hobbies comes at the cost of their boss not making record profits every quarter.

Nearly every notably brilliant programmer out there has other pursuits. You need to diversify your interests for your health and to gain inspiration from outside sources. Locking yourself into a bubble of software only makes you miss out on the world.
Personally, I think the brain as a data processing unit is a model that's seriously limiting the way many philosophers and neuroscientists think about this problem.

Only for hash tables which use all bits. (e.g. prime sized).

Almost nobody does. For normal power-of-2 hash tables finding collisions in the lowest bits leading to a successful amplification is trivial by brute-force. Since Siphash is so slow it can last up to 4 minutes, for smaller tables still < 5s.

The market is "oversaturated" if you take all the candidates completing these bootcamp type courses. Some are fantastic but many I have encountered still have a lot to learn.

Just because there are a large number of candidates does not mean that a large number of them are at all qualified. There is a huge variance of quality across the development market from that I have experienced. No real proof of any of these claims here.
I guess the struggle is a) what format its being logged in and b) knowing exactly where things are being logged/stored.
Especially in the search for competent developers or developers with experience.. We receive a lot of applications of completely underqualified candidates
