Consider the following:

* one slot for a variadic function pointer

* another slot for a datum that fully describes the function signature for the function the first slot points to.

This allows the programmer to specify whatever types the interface allows in parameters of the function callback. Otherwise the programmer must use a catchall interface like "argc, argv" and then add steps inside the function body to fetch the args. At least in my experience programmers screw up way more often with the catchall interface than they do with typing the correct function parameters.

There's just one "tiny" problem with this approach. :)

Nevertheless I've seen this technique in old code that still runs on every modern architecture on which someone bothered to compile it. Gcc doesn't complain about the tiny problem unless you use emscripten to compile to web assembly. (And even there you can still get away with undefined behavior as long as the number of parameters agree.)

I was surprised to find with Google maps more often than not it suggests to just take that busy highway that is crawling alone because ... it really is faster. I've tried to defy google maps ... rarely do I win.

Granted google maps is wrong at times. During snowstorms it loves to send me down off streets that haven't yet been plowed or ... worse random county roads you do not want to be on during a storm. I think it inadvertently interprets "hey nobody is on this road so it must be faster" when nobody is there because that road is terrible with snow and you're far better crawling along the highway where plows will be or may have been ... or other vehicles have made tracks.
The title is misleading. The study didn't seek to answer that question.

It was specifically designed to answer:

"What is the association between GENETIC VARIANTS related to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) with lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease?" [emphasis mine]

The abstract says specifically that it didn't find the relationship suggested by the article title: "The relationship between exposure to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) with the risk of cardiovascular disease has not been reliably quantified."

The published study is here: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2749533
I sympathise. The number of times I've had to push doctors to do anything at all is absurd (or should be absurd). They're frequently rude and unhelpful, often I have to try and diagnose myself and find out about tests or they'll not offer more than a shrug. I have to find out about contraindications too because of the number of times they've ignored things I tell them.

However, I don't think it's about doctors per se, but about people who are arrogant⁎, I've seen plenty of techies do the same when, for example, someone with less knowledge of computers than them asks for support. I think it's still possible to be helpful by at least showing you care, even if you can't find an answer or don't have the time to be as effective as you could be. People often appreciate that just as much as a fix.

⁎I define arrogance as not listening due to over confidence, not overconfidence itself. Those who don't listen can only be overconfident, so it's also not a synonym for confidence.

For actual historical temperature data, see here. [1] It looks like a general range of 5-9 C is the norm, with 12, 15, and 30 C (53, 59, 86 F) spikes over the last 2 months of data. For that kind of failure rate, I wouldn't depend on it without some failsafe warnings for when the temp had dropped below safe levels.

Neat project though, and I might build one if the reliability improves.

they can be minimally quicker once Waze catches on.

One of my current shortcuts that I've taken for over 10 years dropped off the Waze radar during the summer when traffic is less. With school back in session, I am now saving 15 minutes on my commute. However, once Waze catches on and starts sending folks down my shortcut, I'll be lucky to save just a few minutes. It is for this reason I don't let any apps track my commute to work.
> _"they obviously are not smart enough to import tensorflow as tf"_

Yeah. This is part of why DistilBERT (and the fact that you can do pretty well without BERT) is interesting, to me. It seems like for a very long time there have been people complaining about certain individuals and orgs throwing cash/compute at problems to look good rather than solve anything. The difference is nowadays it's starting to be less of a fringe view, thank heavens.

The most interesting thing about NLP (as someone who works in it), is precisely that it is very, very hard to get anywhere. And that in turn is why the field keeps turning up so many new NN designs: the flipside the author rightly points out is that this has to happen for data as well, if we aren't to fool ourselves about our progress.

Great read.

> Disable sending analytics to Apple and app developers

While this makes obvious sense, iOS is pretty good and forcing logs to be anonymised. Also one can only log string literals so the developer can’t just leak sensitive data there.

This being said, I wonder if Apple can capture somebody making a function that would loop over some string and log it letter by letter.

I inherited a MongoDB Ruby (Mongoid) stack that was a terrible choice for the data stored (i.e. relational data). Actually, I'm not really sure why Mongoid exists at all.

After several years of pain e.g. cursor timeouts (even when supposedly disabled), iterating over the same document multiple times in the one query etc. and of course no transactions (since added). I eventually migrated to PSQL (using some custom scripts) and everything is so much easier to maintain, much more stable and much faster.

We're still using MongoDB for our analytics though, as it's inherently unstructured non-relational data, so MongoDB does actually do an okay job. Well, except for the run away memory usage which leads to k8s killing the DB server for violating memory constraints every so often. Yes, MongoDB itself is configured with memory constraints, it seems WiredTiger ignores them.

Licensing was considered, however honestly MongoDB itself is (or at least was) so bad that licensing wasn't the primary motivating factor.

EDIT: Just to clarify, most of our data is relational, however we do have some unstructured data in PSQL stored in JSONB columns. They work a treat and in some cases have complex indexes on them - they far out-perform anything MongoDB was able to offer us.

So, trainers and coaches are useless, but "instructors" are alright? I fail to see the difference there.

Interacting with other people can motivate you. Having a trainer or a coach does work. Having someone tell you what to do takes off the mental part off your shoulders and then you can "just do it". And you might also feel bad if you don't show up.
#python on Freenode is probably the most high-quality IRC channel I join on a regular basis.
This still creates a detectable pattern.

If the legit phone goes off while the burner is on that's a pattern.
If the legit phone goes off and (travel time / distance) elapses before burner appears (travel time / distance) away from the last legit ping that's a pattern.
If the legit phone and burner phone hit the same towers at the same time more than 3 times that's a pattern.
If the burner phone spends most of the time off (battery out, faraday cage etc) then the times it does connect are even stronger signals.

You need to generate a ton of "noise" data where both phones are hitting different towers at the same time on a constant basis; and never being together. Maybe mailing the burner phone on a regular basis between isolated locations that the real phone never goes to?

Cell tower data is incredibly powerful for tracking people.
Perhaps something like a "moving average" would be better to motivate people to keep things going without creating an expectations bubble.

"You did great for the past 4 weeks - perfect streak" or "you are doing really well - only missed one day in the past 4 weeks". You know, something a human might say.

I would say a little bit of both. Since modern networked programming is much more complex than before (having to care about security, distributed storage, systems, worldwide connectivity over vast range of devices etc.) it has more moving parts and thus more combinations of various systems possible. Naturally complexity grows exponentially.

Funny, I've took LSD a bunch of times when I was younger and I know quite a few people that have and pretty much everyone agrees this whole hallucinating lively animals and characters stuff only happens in movies, not real life. So I'm suspicious of anyone who claims this.

The visual stuff is mostly limited to light trails or textures, surfaces start look shimmering, full of colour, or organic/wet, sometimes melting even (it's a hard thing to explain). That reflects the stuff I've read online from the US government studies too. Never 80s-horror movie 'vampires crawling on ceilings' stuff or Fear & Loathing dinosaurs. Maybe someone else could chime in?

I wonder how many people make up these LSD stories to sound cool. Or maybe he really did and simply took way too much for a first timer.
Speed is a huge problem. I make sure I don't go more than 25 through one of the shortcuts I take through a residential area and when Waze starts sending people down these roads they are extremely aggressive behind me. I'm guessing they'd be driving 40 to 50 if I wasn't in their way which is pointless because the route ends in a long line of car's trying to make a turn. When I was young I used to ride my bike through these neighborhoods - I'd be surprised if parents felt comfortable letting there kids do the same today.
Sometimes I think it's more that they don't understand trying to understand something. They see someone trying to do something and genuinely want to help. They don't realise that for the one who is asking the question, their goal is not necessarily simply to do something, but to understand something.

It's a little like the difference between an idealist and a pragmatist, except not.

Work is work. If young, or have a parachute, go for it. If, like me, needing a leg up, go for it too. Slave work that enables you to network and learn is valuable. Alternatives -- status quo engineering, or if in my boat -- shit jobs because I don't have a degree, certs or recent experience. When starting a business (I've helped start several), find a model that others use, and copy it. Go for broke, and take risks once you have the ability to. I've met far too many people unwilling to fund their business, goal or dream by copying models and learning by the example of others. Figuring others' models out is a skillset in and of itself.

Traffic doesn’t work like that. You seem to have a mental model where traffic is modeled like a liquid (traffic has a definite volume and does not expand to fill its container) while many studies show traffic behaves more like a gas (traffic expands to fill its container). Basically, more lanes doesn’t mean less traffic, it generally means the same amount of traffic.
