"Female Athlete Triad"[1] is the explanation of what's happening to these young women. I have a hard time believing Nike coaches don't know about it, though, because I'm a slightly overweight male software developer, and I know about it. Maybe they don't believe it's real? I, too, have nothing but questions.

It feels like startup got even worse than it was, which is not instantaneous like Sublime Text.

It also uses much more CPU and GPU resources.

Something I kick myself every time I think about it was an old desk calculator I was given as "junk" by the owner of the first software development company I worked for.

I was 18 years old, and loved to get old electronics to tear apart for the parts, and this calculator was no exception. It was completely transistor based, and used nixie tubes for the output. And it had a memory function! But it didn't work properly, and so I dug into it.

All the while wondering where inside was the "memory function" - I didn't see anything that looked like memory, just tons of transistors. But there was one curious thing - a metal box, very light weight (made of aluminum or something), with four wires leading in and out of it (two on one corner, and two on another). It was hermetically sealed, and so I broke out my tools and attacked it with gusto.

Inside, attached to some ceramic "knobs" which had the wires attached where they led it - was a coil of wire - 2 or three loops. What was it for? I had no idea - and tossed it aside.

In the end (after a couple of moves, meeting my now wife, etc - you know, life), I didn't even keep the nixies - those got sent to goodwill or something. It was only much later did I realize what I had destroyed.

This was long before today's modern internet - circa 1992 or thereabouts - so I didn't have any easy way to look things up short of traveling a good distance to the library. I honestly wish I had kept that calculator whole; it would have gone nicely with the small "computer museum" collection I have going today (star of it is an Altair in desperate need of a good cleaning and restoration).

But back then, I was just a dumb kid, doing dumb things. Ah, well.
On one of my first jobs all the class names were prefixed with C, but it wasn't carried through to variables or anything. I said we should stop prefixing class names with C and got shouted down. That's where I learned to mostly just do what I want without asking. Once you have 5k lines of something your way it is really too late for anyone to ask you to change it :)
Hmm, I guess I see what you mean. To me the ads feel like an integral part of it, like the cash/card registers in a McDonald's, but when you point it out I see it can be a separate component. I suppose it would be like McDonald's manufacturing their own registers and refusing to sell them to competitors. There are a lot of register manufacturers, and a lot of other ad platforms, but indeed on other ad platforms you don't reach the Facebook users that you want to reach, so perhaps there isn't really any other option than to run Facebook ads.

I guess I also saw it differently because it feels like a free speech argument: why does FB have to give competitors a voice? But it's not about having to give someone a voice because they claim it should be a free (as in freedom) platform, it's for maintaining competition.

I think I've changed my mind. As you see I'm still thinking this through (out loud) but I suppose it should indeed be different entities, even if the to-be-separated ad business is selling "real estate" on Facebook.
Glancing at OP, it appears CX itself uses a RW lock.

"Several years ago, when Andreia first came up with the idea that we could use a reader-writer lock to achieve wait-freedom, I though that was crazy, but cool. After joining up forces with Pascal and a lot of work, we were able to turn that into a universal construction, CX."

I think it is all down to the usage and performance needed. If you need high resiliency and performances, using a third party API like smartip.io is the way to go.

If the requirements are less strict then using a local db like MaxMind would be the right choice.

As a side note, we offer very simple and well documented libraries in C#, Typescript and PHP.

I think that's a big part of it, the "they earned it" bit. I think there are two other problems: people don't realize what the government does for them -- this is the problem of the "submerged state" -- and people think that government spending is, by default, wasteful.

Having seen the inner workings of a number of large companies (think Intel-sized), I'm quite confident that waste is almost always more a function of organizational size than sector; there are efficient government bureaucracies, and wasteful ones. Same for anything big beyond a certain scale.

A third thing I think is lost on a lot of people is what the impacts of wealth disparity are on the citizenry, and this is stuff that doesn't always have an immediately visible line connecting the two. But, one thing off the top of my head, public health in countries with greater wealth disparity tends to be worse.

There's more, and I'll edit the comment to provide more examples later, gotta run for now.

Read def? What the point of that? You might say "def" when you see it, but you think of the concept of a function. You should be translating fn to "function" in your head or if you speak it out loud, the same way you say "plus" when you see +. How do you "read" + otherwise? It's the same for every mathematical symbol, since there is no actual way to read them, since they communicate a concept that you most likely translate into your own language in your head.
Did you think I was suggesting that such experts were somehow more prone to such issues regardless of their profession (e.g. by their nurture or DNA)?

My whole point is that people with vicarious trauma shouldn't be guiding others on how to deal with traumas or stressful situations, and as if they we have this "trauma" thing sorted out and their trained pros that know how to overcome it...
Rails is not assuming that it's a POST. The conditional logic in the controller explicitly checks for a get, and then else's otherwise. This is an unfortunate consequence of not having routing go to specific methods, e.g. `def post():`.
There’s just not enough resources available to do that for every kid out there. We would have to impose strict population limits to achieve this.
Thinner is faster, up to a point, but as noted in the article if you take it too far it leads to injury. I suspect a lot of the grey area stuff NOP was infamous for, i.e. abuse of prescription drugs and therapeutic use exemptions, allowed Salazar to be more successful with this approach with other athletes. For most runners, the short term speed gains of losing weight ultimately do not outweigh the lost training from injury, but if you can get a shady doctor to help with the negative side effects then the calculus changes.

Also, I wouldn't say Salazar is incompetent, but he was supposed to be this distance running genius and it seems more and more like he was no better than the dozens of crappy DI college coaches out there who get a lot of talented athletes, grind them up, and see who survives, leaving a trail of injury and burnout in their wake. Salazar just had access to better talent and drugs.
Another use case for ebpf.
No, it doesn't impart any information. Why don't you understand it? Is it because the code is hard to understand, because the reader doesn't understand the domain, because the code is wrong, because the reader has his monitor turned off?

Basically, the memory management on modern computers with virtual memory has to self-impose some constraints to create internal pressure to clean up memory. The implementation may have the option to set some absolute maximum heap size. Or other parameters that set growth hurdles. The memory management tries to keep things within a given hurdle, but when it's obvious that more memory is needed, it changes to another hurdle: e.g. it allocates a new heap area from the OS with a big allocation.

There is a performance trade off there, because if lots of memory is available, but we tighten the belt anyway, the application may perform less well due to running garbage collection when it could have gotten away with allocating more external memory. On the other hand, the application is then less of a "pig" with regard to other things in the system.
It was a federated system. The idea was more or less that your email provider would host an instance of Persona, and if you were logged into webmail you could be logged in anywhere with a click or two.

But nobody used it. No email providers, no websites. You could fall back to Mozilla's Persona instance to try it out, but the user experience was not amazing. It kinda fizzled out.

Is this business just you, or do you have employees now?

If it's just you, how are you billing? If you're working on a day rate, 100k/mo is something like 5k/day, which seems high but not absurd. Or do you have retainers or something where you can essentially bill for access rather than time spent?
Read all the way down through the "Parsing, not validating, in practice" header. It eventually gets to examples exactly like mine, where "parse" means "transform into a different datatype so it can't be used wrong", while "validate" means "generate a message, but don't preserve that message in the type system in a way that's usable later".
> head :: [a] -> a

> This function returns the first element from a list. Is it possible to implement?

But the type itself doesn't say that it must return the first element.

> If you see why parseNonEmpty is preferable, you understand what I mean by the mantra “parse, don’t validate.”

Okay, what about more complex cases? E.g. how do you describe type "such value doesn't exist in the db table yet"?
It doesn't feel to me like you are discussing this in good faith.

So now the country is a prison? You won't have any millionaires if you tax their wealth at 90%. That's the point. And the top few pay a giant share of taxes.

I agree with you that VR is unique and has to create its own type of content, the same way movies were like plays acted out on stage and filmed on camera until they developed into their own medium.

Most of the examples you give though emphasize novelty over utility to me. I agree the Tilt Brush is neat and I think that absolutely has an application, but I think it's similar to MS Paint. MS Paint was a revolutionary program iconic with Windows, but it was a feature attached to the actual product of Windows. Not many people bought Windows just to use MS Paint.

I am still failing to see the actual product case for VR, outside of niche circumstances. Most early adopters I know in the gaming space have largely abandoned it. So far, from an adoption perspective, VR seems like a less successful device than the MS Kinect. The Kinect wildly outsold VR headsets (talking an order of magnitude difference) in the beginning, but then people just sorta stopped using it because they felt it was largely a gimmick.

Most of the stuff you mention is all about potential, and it's wonderful to have believers such as yourself because you are the guys that push to create an industry. But right now VR is still in its infant stages, and personally I feel like it's been around long enough that we'd have some idea if it were going to take off.

I really do hope you're right and I'm wrong and there is a really cool technological medium being developed that will have a great impact on most (or even many) people's lives...but I don't currently believe it.
It’s better than promising something you can’t deliver.
The point is elsewhere, it doesn't matter whether the job is bad in my opinion or not. A metro rides on tracks in empty tunnels, and automated metros are technology from 1990's, not using it definitely wastes human potential. On the other hand, tram, bus or car driving is still a hard problem because of the unpredictability, so obviously, even though you're maybe not using your human potential to the fullest as a driver on the ground, it's at least something that a computer can't do, making it a valuable addition to the society, and it also saves these people from being locked to tunnels. I'm not sure about NYC in particular, but there are not enough bus drivers in the whole EU.

This idea that an art critic (or any cultural critic) has to be from the country in question (or of the same race/gender/etc) to have a valid opinion is anti-intellectual and misguided.

FitBit has your health data but not all the other data about you which Google is squirreling away. If you have an email address for Gmail against your Fitbit info then that health data is now available to be merged with all your other data. It can then be sold to anybody who offers enough for it or you will start to get ads for health products when Google starts analyzing your health info.

How Candidates in the 2014 European Parliament Elections Campaigned on Twitter
All good points, so I'm not really sure.

Honestly.. my first instinct would be to reform our tax system so that all income is treated equally by way of tax brackets. So small gifts under about $10,000 wouldn't be taxed much, but the rate would scale pretty quickly so that $100,000 might be taxed at 30% or something. I'd also vote to restore the pre-Reagan top marginal tax rates so that $1 million would be taxed at 50-90%.

And actually now that I write this out, that might all be sort of how it works now. Except that tax brackets have only been adjusted for inflation, not things like the wage stagnation since 2000 or the exponential rise in housing costs:

https://www.thebalance.com/irs-announces-tax-brackets-and-in...

Also, capital gains is a flat (regressive) tax, and social security taxes (also flat) top out at an income of $132,900. If those were placed under progressive income tax brackets with no cap, I think many of these problems would go away.

At that point I'd be concerned about increased government spending. So we'd probably also need a hiatus on new expenditures for some number of years, or until certain metrics are met, like the national debt being paid down by some amount. Realistically though, the world is too complex for that kind of absolutism to actually work unfortunately.

I realize that this would be an inconvenience for middle class families trying to send their kids to college, etc. But if you look at the big picture, an increase in upper class taxes (especially inheritance tax) could pretty drastically lower everyone's tax bill. People would have way more money for gifts, and that money would recirculate more in the economy (the opposite of trickle-down economics).
Many years ago, my partner and I took our 7 year old daughter to the Louvre as we were in Paris anyway. Expecting her to get bored we planned on a couple of hours inside in the morning, and then move on to somewhere else...

8 hours later, and one unexpected lunch in the Louvre's restaurant, we literally had to drag her out, as despite having seen so much of the museum, she still wanted to see more. Even to this day she remembers it very fondly. We did see the Mona Lisa. It's surprising how small it actually is in person. Luckily we weren't there during peak tourist season so it wasn't the chaos that the pictures in the article depict.

My daughter went on to develop a deep love of history, and has just graduated from a top tier UK university with a Honours degree in Ancient History. Her love of museums never abated either.

If you have kids, take them to museums - it will always pay off.

Using another company's component library can be a really fantastic head start, then. Especially if you've got a smaller application that doesn't require the whole kitchen sink. You can build fast with stuff that works, and if down the line you want replace it with in-house components, you've already got a north star of sorts.

>I worry about an excessive degree of lock-in that will be hard to back out later if needed.

It depends. If you clone the repo and it works for you, you may not necessarily have to keep it updated if you don't want to. I would worry more about being bound to abstractions that are needlessly complex – many of these systems are designed so that small changes to upstream values propagate throughout the system in very deliberate ways, which can make tweaking intermediate values a bit of a landmine. Using a big ass codebase for a couple components means you might have to go spelunking in a big ass codebase.

I guess they must be using the lock in a careful way to avoid any contention, or to distribute people who need the lock across many versions of a data structure.

That's wouldn't be the same as a 'simple mutex', would it? Which is absolutely not wait-free (even if I don't understand how the OP is using locks.)
Chemical bonds have (often negative) mass. A chemical reaction will break and/or form bonds. Thus it slightly changes the mass. In a battery there will be chemical reactions happening at the anode and cathode. One reaction produces electrons and another absorbs them.
All of those things can be done with the money we have now, while probably costing less. Taxes and insurance are already socialist. I see no point in "democratic socialism" that isn't just better spending like I talked about, outside of some extreme views on limiting wealth.

My point remains that if these policies don't change now, more taxes will change nothing while concentrating more money/power into a few political hands that have proven to be bad at spending it.
Michael Bloomberg Is Expected to File for the Alabama 2020 Presidential Primary
In Canada, the carbon tax revenue is given back as a rebate which results in a net tax decrease for most families. In the US there have been proposals to use the revenue to cut payroll taxes, I believe Harvard economist (and notably former republican) Greg Mankiw has been pushing this idea for years now.

Where the tax revenue goes isn't the biggest deal since getting a price on carbon alone will result in shifting incentives towards lower carbon behaviors and investments. In my experience watching debates about Carbon Taxes where I live, generally speaking, when people complain about where the money is going they are not arguing in good faith and trying to just spread FUD about the policy to prevent a carbon tax.

Over here in Europe, your references generally don't say very much about you beyond confirming you did indeed work for that company and how long you actually worked there for.

This is to avoid issues like in the article, which can apparently leave the referee open to legal action if the candidate can say the bad reference cost them a job offer or something similar.

Is that different in the US? Do references usually mention the negatives about an applicant as well?
