> I mean, Epic didn't make kids shitty, that's true. But they did explicitly create a situation where the ability to express yourself in their social space requires financial investment. Don't tell me that wasn't intentional.

Don't hate the player, hate the game. They built a game and tried to make it as popular as possible, and succeeded. We should be upset that a capitalist entity requires money to participate? The craziest part about that argument is that the game is completely free to play. Are you saying that Epic built FN and monetized it specifically for kids to bully each other?

> I wish I saw a way out.

The only plausible way out I see is first recognizing the degree to which what we consider "facts" and "factual" discourse and beliefs to actually be vague, often incorrect opinions and memes.

If one group of people of above average intelligence could learn and maintain a disciplined approach to reading and discussing issues and the news, carefully distinguishing between objective and comprehensive factual statements versus discussing things in lazy, non-comprehensive, meme and heuristic driven "facts", acknowledging the ever-present complexity, uncertainty, and nuance, might this group of people be able to finally recognize the degree to which we are mostly arguing about models and depictions of reality, rather than reality itself?

I think it is certainly possible, but it seems this idea invokes disgust in most people, of all political stripes.
Ah yes classic crypto enthusiast banter: my coin de jour is better than the others for some reason even though it’s basically identical.

It’s down 93% in value in the last two years so it has held its value worse than the Turkish lira and only slightly better than the bolivar and the egg salad sandwich I left on the windowsill back in the summer of 2017. Its transaction fees are only low because nobody’s using it. Supply constraints in transaction count were just kicked down the road, there’s no way on earth it would ever be able to match visas current transaction throughput of 50,000tx/sec.
Stick with whatever you know and are comfortable with.

FlightAware | Senior Data Scientist / Senior Machine Learning Engineer | Houston, TX | Full-time, ONSITE, https://flightaware.com, https://flightaware.com/commercial/foresight/

FlightAware is expanding its world-class team that builds the predictive technology behind the FlightAware Foresight product suite. FlightAware Foresight is already used by some of the largest airports and airlines in the world to improve operational efficiencies on the ground and in the air. As a senior data scientist at FlightAware, you will work alongside talented developers, systems engineers, and analysts to design, evaluate and improve state-of-the-art machine learning models underlying both current and future Foresight products.

You would bring scientific rigor and statistical methods into a multi-disciplinary engineering group pushing the industry forward and tackling some of the hardest problems in this space. We train thousands of models on hundreds of thousands of CPU cores using datasets with hundreds of millions of examples, and we stream real-time flight data from around the world through these models running on multiple clusters in order to produce thousands of inferences per second. These models compute estimated runway landing and gate arrival times for commercial and GA flights around the world. FlightAware in general processes over 180 million incoming messages per hour from over 22,000 individual data feeds. You would bring a broad technical and engineering background with you, allowing you to design solutions that can scale and operate in this demanding environment.

We're looking for someone with a solid real-world track record of delivering complex machine learning systems in production that solve well-defined business problems. This is decidedly a senior-level role, although less experienced but truly exceptional candidates will be considered. We have no formal requirements about educational background; while a PhD is probably a plus, it's not required, and we're more impressed by real-world results. You need a nontrivial expertise in statistics, machine learning, statistical learning, and deep learning that goes beyond what a talented engineer might learn studying in the evenings for fun. You also need a solid engineering foundation; you wouldn't be isolated from infrastructure and systems engineers but would be working with and alongside them.

FA is a small company (currently ~100 employees), but we're not a startup. We've been around for over a decade and don't rely on VC funding. Our Foresight team alone produces millions of dollars of revenue. The company is successful, profitable, and growing. And we just built out a brand new modern office space in Houston. To apply, please send me an email using the email in my profile here.
The food aid came later. Eventually it stopped, once the US realized that the Bolsheviks were simultaneously seizing grain from peasants to sell on the international market. (A trick they repeated in the 1930s, to pay for rapid industrialization, at the cost of ~5 million dead peasants.)
This bothers me much less than other examples of china's ip theft. The research still gets done. Patients still reap the benefits, researchers publish as usual. Having the data stolen can only increase the probability of applications being developed. This is the whole point of publishing research anyway. The rent seekers who run pharma companies may lose money, but i just cant make myself care.
With the risk of pulling a Godwin, the “It’s just a job, so any ethics, morals or generally doing the right thing don’t apply” defense is getting kinda stale.

I have a Thinkpad with an Intel GPU and it works just fine in Firefox on Linux with Gnome driving a 4K screen. This is my main development setup. Intel GPUs have been more than enough for non-gaming needs for years. I've no idea what these complaints are about. I don't do web development though.

I would like my next setup to be AMD based though.

In the South (especially in Texas, where I lived for a bit) they're considered a symbol of rugged manliness, which is the main reason why they're so popular among city dwellers. They're also nice to go off-road in areas with not good roads.

I've driven a few and they also offer a different perspective when you're driving (you feel "taller"). Also, they might be safer than tiny sedans (although not sure how they compare with the German ones w.r.t safety).

If you live in Suburbs, its also nice to have one for the occasional lugging around of furniture or moving heavy stuff.

Going slightly OT here, but I wonder: Is Raymond doing the old new thing for free or does he get some MS company time for it.

On one hand, he clearly does hardcore technical stuff on the job so he can't have much time. The blog meanders between hard core windows programming and human interest stuff. All that says hobby project.

But it runs on microsoft infrastructure, he must put in a lot of time to write the posts and curate the discussions. The marketing value for microsoft must be non-trivial. So that says company provided resources.
I know the rough high-level, and it's not necessarily WSL. POSIX programming does stuff differently than NT programming, the main or at least most noticeable design pattern being frequent process creation and lots of small IPC calls. On Windows this is slow. POSIX programmers also tend to set up directory structures with many small files. This is not necessarily slow on NTFS, but Windows' implementation seems to have many pathological edge cases.

There is also of course some translation overhead. That may be in the driver filter stack, though that is decently designed (it's close to having filter code pass over zero-copy state).
I am neither as brilliant, nor my career at Microsoft nearly as long as Raymond's, but I am in no position to cast that first stone. My list of "should've known better" stretches temporally long, and quite wide in it's breadth of categories of bad purchases. Yes, some of them were alcohol-fueled. Sadly, most of them were not, thereby removing any excuse.

I'm a little older than Raymond (I think), and I am probably just now reaching the point where I consistently think to myself, "nooo, you know full well how this is going to end." when faced with a bad potential purchase.
You might be surprised how easy it to game those checks if either the mods aren't extremely active or, worse, if they're incentivised to support certain posts/views.
Key thing about electric car introduction vs other technologies is an electric car is a car and automobiles have a 100 years with of well developed infrastructure already. The only thing that's needed is the charging points. Which is point infrastructure for the most part.

That makes the switchover seamless. Which means it's only production and price limited. Not like the original cars when there was only a few hundred miles of paved roads and no gas stations.

Wouldn't additional RAM chips consume appreciably more power? That is definitely relevant for the laptop form factor.

Also, even among software engineers, the need for more than 16 GB RAM is presumably rare.

Would you care to mention what do you need it for?
Ask HN: Are dynamic languages fast enough for dynamic sites on low-end hardware?
If you have low-end server hardware (e.g. 1GB or 2GB memory shared CPU hosting) will a dynamic scripting language (Python, Ruby, PHP, Javascript) perform fast at serving dynamic pages? At what point will the language struggle where more performant languages might breeze through?

I know this might a bit like asking how long is a piece of string, but let's say 1000 users are concurrently accessing the site's pages which are mostly being dynamically generated. Would this be a breeze for dynamic languages on low-end hardware?
I see a lot of people here denigrating devices that need mobile apps to function. While it may be frustrating for some, be aware of the accessibility implications of this approach. Most devices are simple enough that the only way to access them is via buttons and a screen. If you can't see the screen or have problems pressing the buttons, you're screwed and need to get a device made especially for you. This has been the case with blind people for years, and such devices usually cost about 4x the normal ones. Mobile apps, if done properly, allow such people to use the devices. Sure, an app as an alternative interface is usually a better idea, but the point still stands.
It's notable that the creator of Tailwind, Adam Wathan, is working on something similar [1]. Whether it fits the paradigm or not, there definitely seems to be a demand for such a thing.

On a recent episode of the Full Stack Radio podcast [2], Adam talked about his own upcoming Tailwind UI release and said that he hoped the utility class design of Tailwind would enable people to use the predesigned components as a starting point and easily customize them, should they desire.

Exactly. It was weird, a stark contrast to the months up before it. All of a sudden the political subs were... reasonable. I’d love to see a little more research into pre/post event stats.

Are we so accustomed to having >100mbit bandwidth to not see the problems modern web design is bringing to people in poorer areas of the world?

I suppose that some of the downvoters of that comment upvote comments stating minorities are being discriminated. Ironically the minority is not being discriminated in this case, since most of the people on the internet are on <100mbit bandwidth worldwide (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Internet_usage#Broadban...).
Yes but just in a very basic way that I basically googled. I focus the analysis logic to the SQL layer (views, functions) and the interactive analysis using pivot functionality. I don't know powerquery well yet.

Its important to realise that oil is not just for energy but for the 95% of products, machinery and materials that make modern life possible. Roughly 50% is for other things than energy and without oil most of us would either not live today And live much poorer lives.

That's a stretch. How do you think they determine any information about the "known" audience? Obviously, they do all sorts of research to determine more about the audiences watching certain shows and channels, likely by sifting through social media, show reviews (IMDB, etc), and elsewhere to determine who's watching what shows, then looking into their profiles to determine their interests. Aggregate that data, find what they all have mostly in common, and cater to those interests. It's just a more generalized and difficult process of the same thing, and eventually it's going to become more narrowed and specific to individual targets.

A monad (on Set) is an "algebraic structure" (eg. the notion of a group). An algebra for that monad is an "algebra" (eg. one individual group).

This is the original use for monads in universal algebra, before they were interpreted as computational effects. An algebraic structure like a group or monoid is traditionally given by a signature: a list of what operations it has and what rules the operations need to follow. You can generalize from a signature Sig to a monad M. If a is a set, then Ma is "the set of expressions with constants from a": the set of formal expressions built from elements of a and the operations in Sig and where two expressions are regarded as equal if you can manipulate one into the other using the rules from Sig. The list monad for example corresponds to the signature for monoids.

The monad laws can thus be read as expressing "how to do algebra" at the most general level (ie. the level that is common to all algebraic structures). I would gloss them as "the order you evaluate an expression does not matter".

I just skimmed that paper but I don't see a section on how to avoid the bottleneck when your functional program is trapped on a Von Neumann machine. It seems to me that functional constructs have to be mapped down to structures that will suffer the Von Newmann bottleneck if they are being executed on a Von Newmann machine. But there isn't any apparent discussion of an alternative machine architecture, just the computer language.

Indeed one of the complaints you sometimes see about functional programming is the amount of memory churn it produces on a Von Newmann architecture.

The only thing definitely wrong on mine is it lists an address that I've never lived at (and there is actually a decent reason for this mistake [1]). I looked at getting it fixed, but it looked like that would be a bit of a hassle, so I haven't bothered. I just have to remember if some site does one of those "which of these 5 address did you once live at?" kinds of test as part of identity verification, I need to pick that wrong address if it shows up.

[1]. (Names and addresses made up) A single women, Ms. Johnson, owned and lived in a house at 567 Fake Street. At some point, Ms. Johnson married Mr. Brown, and they lived together at 567 Fake Street as Mr. and Mrs. Brown. At some point another Mr. Brown, no relation to the Browns at 567 Fake Street, bought and moved into 527 Fake Street.

The Browns at 567 decided to move, and submitted a change of address form to the USPS. Someone processing that at the post office noticed that 567 was listed in their records as belonging to Ms. Johnson, but that there was a Brown at 527, and apparently concluded that it was probably the Brown at 527 who was moving and that he had just botched the address on the form, and so they processed this as a change of address for 527 Brown. Credit reporting agencies get change of address data, so they picked it up too.

OK, so, I don't have a strong position on this -- I'm purely asking a question. No need to go all ham with hyperbolic similes.

Also, am I taking Bitfinex's word when I look at the exchange-derived price of Tether? I'm not sure. I would have thought that I was trusting the price discovery mechanism in general. If I'm trusting Bitfinex on this at all, it's only to the extent that Bitfinex would be backstopping the price of Tether on all other exchanges. Right? I mean, they can lie about how much a Tether is worth, but they can't lie about how much it's trading for on exchanges they don't own.
Now I get to be that guy. Your i only needs to go to n-1, and your j can start with i+1.

More importantly, what you wrote is a selection sort, not a bubble sort!

A bubble sort swaps neighboring terms. Eg, if I interpret the code in 2.1 of https://users.cs.duke.edu/~ola/bubble/bubble.html correctly, the 'definitive' version is:

for i = n-1..0:
for j = 0..i:
if arr[j+1] < arr[j]:
arr[j], arr[i] = arr[i], arr[j]
Good thing. They should stop hiring Russians and Chinese period.
I think this overlooks several key facts.
1. Poor countries cannot afford the EV infrastructure. As Africa gains in wealth it is absolutely going to rely on gasoline engines, the government stability is not there to allow for a wide spread EV charging infrastructure. Plus EV is far more expensive putting it out of reach for emerging economies.

2. You are overlooking the power of existing industry. Natural gas has massive lobbying power vs electric and solar and is seen as 'greener' than coal. It is also easier to retrofit existing power plants to natural gas from coal than to build massive solar fields keeping jobs at their current locations.

3. You will have distributed "grids", where many more people are generating their own power, and borrowing from their neighbor when necessary - see the above point. Entrenched industry, lobbyists and industry capture are working hard to prevent this, at least in the US. Laws already exist in many states to prevent this.

Use of combustibles is only increasing:
