data.table is typically much faster than dpylr or custom code for large datasets. Figure out what parts of your preprocessing are taking the most time, and try to rewrite those using data.table.

R has some non-default packages for linear regression [0]. If your usecase is supported by one of those then I'd imagine it would be faster than Stata.

I think reality is closer to this: GPU rasterization is 20-50 times faster than CPUs and throughput computing maybe 5-20 times faster.

For example consumer Ryzen 3 with 12 cores peaks at 32 FLOPS/core/cycle. So at 3.8 GHz, peak ~1.4 SP TFLOPs (or 0.7 DP TFLOPs). But just 50-60 GB/s memory bandwidth limits it somewhat.

Quick googling says consumer Nvidia RTX 2080 peaks at 10 SP TFLOPs (or 0.314 DP TFLOPs, yes, less than half than the CPU example). Memory bandwidth being at 448 GB/s.

GPUs win massively at rasterization, because they have huge memory bandwidth, a large array of texture samplers with hardware cache locality optimizations (like HW swizzling), texture compression, specialized hardware for z-buffer tests and compression, a ton of latency hiding hardware threads, etc.

But they're definitely not thousands or even hundreds of times faster.

That approach doesn't work if you use spaces both for indentation and alignment, you'd only want to multiply the indentation spaces. What editor has that setting?
That initial line of reasoning makes sense, but then it becomes another argument.

If it's about opportunity (makes sense, catching a human does seem easier than an antelope) rather than anything intrinsic to human flesh, then why would killing them so that they don't reproduce matter? "Opportunity" does not get transmitted genetically.
This incurs runtime overhead and boilerplate, so while it’s not as hard as other languages, it’s still harder.
Prices are definitely softer than they were a year ago, but they appear to have flattened. Note: Summer of 2018 was the highest. Prices reached euphoric levels as people overbid on homes. I'm not certain many of those buyers will recover those costs anytime soon.

Do you plan to run something more serious than github, basecamp or shopify? Usually it is not rails, which is the bottleneck, but the architecture of your application.
> What you care about is, by definition, dictated by your emotional state

I agree with that. Not sure how it's related to why someone else's state should influence my preferences.

> This is an argument made from emotion

It is not. You literally have no legal right. Without that information, you are literally ignorant and unable to make an argument about morality, from my perspective. Morality is personal, but it is a philosophy about maximizing the good across people and time, as I define it.

> There's nothing wrong with caring for certain topics than others but it's disengenuous to behave like you're above emotions while making an emotionally charged argument.

I disagree. I am going to assert that I am a human. I am not above emotion. I can and do, dismiss the arguments posed from an emotional basis. This is a little far away from where we started.

> you're ranking the value of reduced immigration over the value of treating people humanely

I don't rank it above. I just don't think there's anything left to discuss. The moral failure is practical, not philosophical. This is of no interest to me, as I already know what I believe about it. I can and do talk about immigration, without reference and feel that I am on solid moral footing.
Eh I guess I meant "traditional" web MVC where HTML template for the whole page is pre-rendered on the server.

We use gRPC web, so backend is a bunch of RPC endpoints. Front end is regular SPA.

This has worked great for us because it reduces backend to "shipping objects" instead of all the bs you normally have to deal with in HTTP.

With gRPC there's no use for rails, or any HTTP server framework. As far as I can tell, this is the future of web endpoints, so rails will die out.

The first study is interesting, but not relevant: 83 cases have a huge variance. The second one is even more interesting, showing that in the majority of the cases the firearms were not used for various reasons or improperly used. This is a bit surprising because carrying a firearm in the bear country and not using it properly suggests a serious lack of proficiency that I cannot explain.

The second study is lacking in determining any important factors of the firearm, just splitting into handguns and long guns is not telling anything about efficiency. In 25% of the cases the user was not able to use the gun (it was empty, safety on or too close) which is highly dependent of the magazine capacity, loading and safety mechanism (ex: bolt action), readiness (empty chamber of full chamber), carrying style (on the shoulder, in a closed holster, open holster). For the other cases caliber, one of the most important parameters in stopping power, is missing.

So the studies are an interesting reading, but not proof of comparative efficiency.
The Linux kernel has high standards. Most of the bugs come from the drivers. If systemd wants to be the end all be all init replacement it should have known from the start that it needed to meet a high bar of code quality.
> safety isn't the real reason these laws get made. It's just public pressure to enforce moral values

Oh please. Alcohol accounts for 30ish percent of driving fatalities. Even if dehydration is equally dangerous (a big if) it’s still far less prevalent. Maybe that’s the reason there’s no law about it.
How to Find IP Geolocation in Elixir
Agree that it would be significantly easier if you had physical access either of the devices. However, with physical access there are probably even easier attack vectors (e.g. in the case of a keyboard, why not just capture the key presses directly instead of trying to capture it as it's going over BT?).
It has nothing to do with the Platonic view of mathematics, that I don't try or wish to dismiss at all. Even if the real numbers are real and, say, complex numbers were discovered, the lambda calculus was still very much invented. The lambda calculus is a formal system, an artificial language, first described in a paper in which the author, Alonzo Church, talks about the arbitrariness and aesthetics involved in inventing a formal system, and ironically, specifically talks about the process of invention in that context: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20699465

So claiming that the lambda calculus was invented is 1. factually wrong, 2. fosters a deep misunderstanding of what formal systems are, 3. encourages a mystical view of mathematics. So it is at once wrong and mystical, and so I find it cultish.

Note that when, say, discussing the use of complex analysis researchers don't usually spend time on the claim that complex numbers were discovered. But some FP luminaries do, as part of their (perhaps unintended) mission to instill awe and admiration toward their favorite programming style at the expense of understanding.
Good question. Can the attacker force an existing paired device to re-negotiate the pairing process, or is this attack only viable against devices that have not yet paired?
Here are some that I think are getting worse.

Tracking of your data and recording of what you have done. It seems many governments have access to this data.

Recording of biometric data by governments

Common methods of communication are less private now than previously and a a record is kept. Obviously communication is now way easier, but that has had a price.

Media is more concentrated in the hands of fewer companies and their independence is questionable. There are dark patterns here with state actors involved.

The perverse way adverts are tracking and recording. This isn’t fitting with a traditional definition of ‘authoritarian’, but it’s somewhere bad on that continuum.

A larger portion of money is held by a very small controlling group.

National firewalls and restriction of access to certain data is becoming increasingly acceptable.
There's zero logical reason to use a power of two, though.
You don't have measure actual driving ability. Current field sobriety tests don't do that. You can instead test coordination, balance, cognition, reaction time, etc. These are the things we actually care about when we talk about impaired driving. So why don't we test them instead of testing for one or two specific substances?
How does that work though? If you have multiple instances that are serving the same traffic, how do one know about the change made by the other? Is it a global timer? i.e. any write affects reads, or it knows and only works on the same table?

Why not keep dependent operations within the same transaction? If that would be done by rails from the start then I could just easily split read/write through pgpool.

Typically a local network request has 10-20 milliseconds of latency on our office LAN, so whatever. Clean and comprehensible code with very little boilerplate is more important when I'm reviewing my junior's code.

Keep in mind different amounts of THC and CBD lead to different effect, and also different individuals (which gives both of your stories credibility, but also devalues them).

If that is indeed what they're saying, my point still stands. The blood alcohol limit has no variations for age, sex, gender, race, weight, time since last usage, or any other factor. It just goes by concentration. My point still stands. What the law considers the concentration which indicates intoxication is a metric based on what is considered an acceptable level of risk.

Seemed to work fine Anthony Levandowski

ttps://www.wired.com/story/god-is-a-bot-and-anthony-levandowski-is-his-messenger/?verso=true

From the article, note how Levandowski pulled the stunt below and managed onwards to Otto:

In early 2011, that plan was to bring 510 Systems into the Googleplex. The startup’s engineers had long complained that they did not have equity in the growing company. When matters came to a head, Levandowski drew up a plan that would reserve the first $20 million of any acquisition for 510’s founders and split the remainder among the staff, according to two former 510 employees. “They said we were going to sell for hundreds of millions,” remembers one engineer. “I was pretty thrilled with the numbers.”

Indeed, that summer, Levandowski sold 510 Systems and Anthony’s Robots to Google -- for $20 million, the exact cutoff before the wealth would be shared. Rank and file engineers did not see a penny, and some were even let go before the acquisition was completed. “I regret how it was handled…Some people did get the short end of the stick,” admitted Levandowski in 2016. The buyout also caused resentment among engineers at Google, who wondered how Levandowski could have made such a profit from his employer.
> the serviceability cannot be worse than the stuff I have to do now to maintain it..

My understanding is that you can't maintain the hub shifter at all. It's sealed so it's generally pretty low maintenance, but if/when it eventually breaks you have to send it to the factory for repair.

Earthquakes related to oil and gas are almost entirely because of wastewater injection, not the fracking process itself. One could argue that the increased wastewater production from the development and production of fracked wells is therefore responsible, but the connection that "fracking = earthquakes" isn't direct.
Public awareness and advocacy matter more, I think. We're not regulating coal out of existence, or they'd be closing from regulation, not cost. And the public investment isn't what's driving the radical drop in wind/solar manufacturing and installation costs. That's regular economy of scale stuff.
> It's trivial to turn async into sync in Rust. You can use ".poll", "executor::block_on", et cetera.

Is it 0-cost abstraction? I mean, is `sync_read` will compile to the same code like `async_read.poll`? Because turning sync into async is kind of trivial as well: just spawn new thread for that sync block.

Taiwan is anti-CCP because the anti-CCP forces (or rather I should say "government forces") fled there during the Chinese civil war...

It's 2019, not 1949. Taiwan is anti-CCP because the PRC claims its territory and Taiwan overwhelmingly rejects the notion of being ruled by them. Which is fairly natural, I can't think of many people in developed, democratic countries who want to be ruled by a neighbouring, developing dictatorship.
"Epidemiological studies have been inconclusive regarding whether cannabis use causes an increased risk of accidents; in contrast, unanimity exists that alcohol use increases crash risk" - direct quote from your link.

That study is about alcohol combined with cannabis (i.e. presuming effect then striving to find a cause).

Disclaimer: I have never been a cannabis user.

Even if you know what is coming, that doesn't guarantee you can outmaneuver it. When you are dealing with thousands of people, contracts with hundreds to tens of thousand of customers, and infrastructure based on the assumptions that make your existing business tick, a fundamental change that costs a new competitor $0 to make because they don't have any of that built up stuff could costs a fortune for you to counter.

holding the place of an incumbent has advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes you can't leverage the advantages, and that's when a company can get buried by the upstart the worst.

Eh, not really. A string with a tab is still hard to tell apart from a string with spaces. Linters don't help there (why would they?). And no way in hell am I going to change Vim to display them differently!

Thanks for developing Tridactyl.

It's sad how Mozilla killed Vimperator with the transition to WebExtensions. And how many of its features still cannot be replicated in Tridactyl, which I otherwise love, despite all your efforts.

Due to the new addon model, addons don't get the chance to run till the page finishes loading. So e.g. a 404 or a slow page force you to revert to standard keybindings which ruins the immersive Vim user experience.

Mozilla should perhaps create an API for privileged extensions. I know the userbase is small. But it's a very important userbase to keep the platform healthy.

One of the three major reasons why I use Mac OS rather than Linux is the existence of Keyboard Maestro and TextExpander, which do tons of useful things and work everywhere.

All the tab advocates in this thread are like "Tabs are great, all you have to do is..."

That's why spaces are better. There's no "all you have to do." There's nothing. Just use spaces. Your code will look fine everywhere. Done.

Separation of content and presentation is a fine principle for many things, but as long as we're coding using text files, we are already far removed from that world. May as well stay simple and embrace the literal characters.
What you are saying is that because we have a map then we know the terrain.

A description (in this case words), is not the actual thing.

Using your example, we can spend days describing love and write millions of pages about it, but that is a very different thing than actually experiencing or feeling love.

It is the experience that is ineffable, not the description of the experience.

Additionally, we each assign meaning to our own experiences and language, even if we choose to agree with others about it. Funnily enough, there are people that have assigned meaning of love to the number 9 (you can lookup the song Love Potion No. 9, or Love Numerology).

Accepting something as ineffable doesn't mean that you give up on it, it just means that it doesn't have a universal "true" meaning for everyone and that it cannot be fully understood unless it is experienced.
I think that's not always possible, but should considerd way more times
Does Elixer overload IO operations to be async in async contexts? Because that is largely why you cannot just wrap sync code in an async block and call it a day - once it hits a system call the thread is paused but the scheduler cannot tell that it should be dequeued.

This is largely why Python async took so long to mature, because so much inbuilt functionality was making IO operations transparently using core sync impls that locked up any async executor.
It's group chats that are the issue, not one-on-one conversations.
I didn’t mean to imply you had trouble writing all macros. But as someone who is trying to learn some c-lisp on the side I can see why they can get a lot more tricky than “regular” coding that one might do say in Java. So the point is you are probably doing something more advanced there.
Oh, I certainly don't mean that a good university place guarantees you a top job. My company targets top universities, so it naturally has to reject a bunch of people who just aren't the right fit. However, it is certainly the case that you can usually infer the other way around (i.e. that people with top jobs tend to have good degrees from well-respected universities).

For many graduate software roles over here, recruiting targets people studying "any numerate discipline". These people don't have any professional software dev experience or a CS background, so wouldn't be able to demonstrate those skills from the start. However, the decent degree from a good university is a proxy for the appropriate skillsets required.

The problem remains that there are people with all the skills who just can't get their foot in the door because their background just didn't give them a reasonable opportunity to do so.

How is being able to accurately tell if someone is drug driving a bad thing?
Fracking causing leaks of contaminants into groundwater is hugely dependent on the local geology. In locations with lots of natural fractures and nearby sources of drinking water (e.g., Pennsylvania), there's a much higher risk of contamination than in deeper basins with more uniform geology (e.g., North Dakota).

That's not to say handwaving is good, but that all geology is local and risk assessment has to be done at that scale.
Please note that using a sum of hashes almost certainly weakens any cryptographic guarantees you may expect from your hashes. Of course, that may be fine depending on your use case.
I was an all-day pothead for 16 years with hundreds of thousands of miles behind the wheel. I had zero at-fault accidents and 2 speeding tickets during that time. I find it hard to support regulating something like THC or other metabolite threshold testing because I feel like it completely ignores the overall relationship to impairment.

Driving with an anger management issue is a much more serious problem in my experience. Why don't we test for that?
