I tend to want to teach these people, point them to books and knowledge so they can learn and be less shallow. That is a sure way to piss almost all of them off (unless they become your students), which rarely happens.

Alan Kay describes and analyses why the majority of humanity act like you describe in many of his lectures. He answers and explains most of your points. Its hard to recommend these talks, the good bits are spread around 50 lectures. I'll be happy to discuss with you which bits you'll like. A first suggestion is [1][2].

>I really want is to talk to deeply self-aware people struggling with the boundaries of human knowledge.

I love to talk to such people also, so I search for them in the (scientific) crowd and befriend them so we can have those interesting conversations. Please contact me (morphle @ ziggo dot nl) and lets find out if we can have such a meaningful and satisfying exchange.

I'm playing with 2.8 today and it's totally changed my opinion. In about 1 hour it's gone from, "Blenders that weird tool that I can never figure out" to "I'd prefer to use Blender over the Autodesk tools I'm more familiar with"

He was saying that 132 villages out of 700 villages had no female babies.

> The 132 villages where no girls were born over three months have all been marked as part of a “red zone”, which means local data will be scrutinised more closely and health workers have been asked to be vigilant.

The "red zone" is not a single area, it's a black list.

Learning java as a self thaught programmer
I am a mostly self taught programmer. I've been programming for past 3 years professionally but the problem is that still most of my work is done by googling and trial&error. While I learn a lot I feel kinda guilty being paid for this. Since I work mostly with java I decided to really master it.
What course would be the best to really LEARN java. (java programming patterns, how to properly do try/catch/finally, when to create a class, when to inherit it...) after that I'd like to master java spring boot.

So what I am looking for is how to build good foundation knowledge, so I don't feel like a fraud when talking with someone who knows his stuff...
for example I still have problems with java servlets, streams etc.. even though I've been working with them for past 2 years.
I've seen some pretty iffy articles on molecular biology/micro biology etc published in nature (not scientific reports) science cell. They were studies that were technically OK, but made some excessively bad claims and questionable methodological choices (eg left out performing a validation step that's cheap and the next step in the research, curiously resigning that step for anyone who would try and replicate the study). Prestige of the paper only says standards are higher, not that any given paper is great, and especially not that the conclusions are great.
The entire comment section is full of Indian bros reflexively inventing reasons why something like this is a put on in order to make India bad. Every comment section of any article that might put India in a bad light is. It's a particular brand of motivated reasoning, and I get it.

But yeah India is not a great place for girls and women. That's changing bit by bit in the more advanced places but it's such a vast country with so many backward regions that the laggards will come along very slowly.
> In the second trace, op2_write will overwrite op1_write with the data from its stale read. The correctness issue here isn't dependent on nondeterminism, just on lack of synchronization.

No, it's simply a wrong order. When the order of operations is deterministic, that means, by definition, that they are synchronized. The fact that you can change the order by inserting or replacing instructions does not mean that the code lacked synchronization, and it is irrelevant that you could use those same instructions in a different context to synchronize operations. In this context, operations are already synchronized, so nothing you could do can possibly "sychronize them more", you only can reorder them (or desynchronize them, potentially, by introducing non-determinism in the order).

Synchronization is what you use to restrict the ordering of operations. When there is only one possible ordering of operations (i.e., the order is deterministic), there is nothing to restrict there. When the order created by some synchronization is the wrong order for correctness of the software, that doesn't mean that the code is lacking synchronization, it simply means that it does order operations wrong.

H-1B Crackdown: Companies Must Prove Work Exists for Visa Holders
When I was 14, my dad got us dialup internet in 1994. At the ISP, I had never paid more attention in my life, and when we got home I rushed to install the tcp software and 'internet in a box' for windows 95. My dad got irate at how quickly I was moving through it and told me that he wouldn't help me fix it after I messed it up.

When he came down an hour later and I was transfixed with the primordial web, he gave me a deadly serious warning - that he had a report he could run on the computer to list everything I was visiting. I was dubious. So I proved to myself that he didn't.

18 months later I was working at the ISP. I always wonder if that threat by him to avoid smut and bomb making was a deliberate seed being planted, or just a panicked father veneering over a complete loss of control.

What can I do not to miss them?

For sure they would have high switching costs. They would be switching from an open-source (and free product) to which they contributed changes to a commercial product. License alone would be a serious discussion point. So, that's a fact.

Was there an opinion in there as well that you tried to convey?
For me to have 4G access, I need to connect to a network, and for that I need to pay. I currently do this through my phone which I need to be connected when there is no wifi more than my laptop. Is the price of 4G access low enough to have this on my laptop in addition to my phone? Not currently.

Former Managing Partner at Accenture Raised $100M to Disrupt $3T Market
Yes, it's been posted before, but I will upvote this again and again. I attribute this essay with sparking my interest in engineering and changing the course of my life. Neal Stephenson also happens to be my favorite author.
I don't work in the area, so I know very little about it and this may seem naive - but I constantly hear adverts for things like Quickbooks - where they'll automatically send invoices and chase up. As I say, I know nothing about the area, but those products are around $20 a month which seems like pretty good value and would leave your clients under no illusion about what they to pay when and with what penalties.
Ask HN: What books have you given to other people as gifts?
This is a specific question that goes a bit beyond normal book recommendations.

What books did you enjoy so much that you felt a strong need to share it with others, to the point of “eliminating friction” by giving them a copy (almost always physical not digital)? I’d like to know your cherished favorites.

I’ve bought many copies of “Impro: Improvisation and the Theatre” by Keith Johnstone and “How Buildings Learn” by Stewart Brand. The former is a brilliant book about thinking and reacting creatively while the latter is quite possibly the best book about building software that is not about building software specifically.

That is however not what the parent asked about, the question was ”how do I cope?” not ”is this ok?”. Of course it’s ok to feel that way, most of the other comments are about how to cope instead of ”you don’t, give up and go someplace else”.

I often feel like talking about esoteric topics like math even though I’m surrounded by people who would gladly kill to never do math ever again. I however want to get along with these people, just like the original poster who wants to progress through people skills. If I was only surrounded by people who value the same things as me this would not be an issue, which is why answers like ”just go where other people are exactly like you” is not productive.

Every possible means. Plus, the decision - and responsibility - to act on it.
Of course it's not, but the comment I replied to was about whether using it to build binaries for extremely small embedded systems made sense. In that scenario a distro kernel from one of the desktop distros is a total non-starter.

If a few MB of space matters, then you'll want a suitably configured kernel that disables a ton of stuff that is totally irrelevant for such a system, and you'll need to take that configuration into account whether or not you're building a normal kernel or a unikernel, as it involves not just excluding drivers and the like, but disabling functionality that if left enabled will not get removed by the linker because there will be calls into it from code paths that are reachable.

Do that, and you'll find it is pretty straightforward to get a Linux kernel down under 1MB.

Now, it's possible your tooling makes that easier, but my point is that it is equally possible to disable those parts of the kernel for a non-unikernel system as well, and you're not going to make significant additional savings. And if you want to, then ditching glibc for one of the smaller libcs would be a better starting point.

This is not a criticism of this project - size is simply not what most people look to unikernels to address, especially not one built on a general purpose kernel.

I don't understand the point of this comment. It does not bolster your comment I replied to, nor does it argue against my own.

Are you starting a new, different argument, and now claiming that systemic racism doesn't exist, and that large bodies of research about it are unfounded, and supporting your claim with a single pithy statement about statistics?

If so, sorry, I don't feel like being dragged into an off-topic argument about whether the concept of systemic racism is valid.
So many memories. I remember riding my bike to the local ISP's office to get my internet welcome packet. Because I wasn't going to wait 5-7 business days for it to arrive in the mail. It came complete with a dozen floppies for Mac and PC, account details, and the Internet Yellow Pages. Which is sitting on a shelf in my parents garage.

At the dawn of the public internet there were no call centers or AOL discs. It was some local guy with enough scratch to afford a T1 and a bank of modems.

I prefer vanilla Julia since it has all the packages at the latest released versions and it's the most used so it's easier to get help. CUDANative.jl documentation doesn't mention being mac/linux only (the only mention was in the 2 year old preview release), and if it is maybe you could try another library like ArrayFire.jl.

And more general technical programming is Julia specialty (it was built for that as a high performance interactive language), the DL hype started after the language was first released.

Some embarrassingly very ignorant statements here by Greenspan.

> a company that was out of users in 2012 managed to find a wellspring of nearly infinite and sustained growth that has lasted it, so far, half of the way through 2019. So what is that magical ingredient, that secret sauce, that “genius” trade secret, that turned an over-funded money-losing startup into one of America’s greatest business success stories?

Facebook has been wildly profitable since approximately the end of 2008. Five years after its founding, in 2009 - long before Greenspan's setup premise - they turned a $229m profit on $777m in sales. For fiscal 2011 that was a billion in profit. Any start-up in world history would be envious of that extreme profitability so early into existence.

In terms of millions of daily active users or users in general, Facebook wasn't suffering in terms of growth in 2012 or 2013. Greenspan is flat-out lying here. They went from 483 million daily active users at the end of 2011, to 665 million at the end of 1Q13. They added 135m daily actives in 2012, 28% DAU growth after eight or nine years. A strong number given their immense size at that point.
