Meditating. You can learn in 5 minutes.

One of the easiest ways is using an app like Calm or HeadSpace.

Alternatively, just sit down wherever you fee comfortable and won't get interrupted for a few minutes, close your eyes, then count your breaths from 1 to 10, then repeat, start from one of you get lost (very common).

Regular meditation practice can help you in many ways, the most valuable to me is the improved ability of staying present, which seems to improve a lot of different aspects of my life.
During the Iraq War, everyone marveled at the great new technology behind the Predator drone to conduct surveillance and deliver ordnance during strike operations. Then it leaked that the Predator had been developed 15 years earlier and used successfully in Desert Storm. Cut to 2011 when we learned that the SEAL team that killed Osama Bin Laden used a stealth helicopter, something that no one in the world had any public success toward achieving, and we not only achieved it but were running classified missions with it.

Based on those two examples alone, I estimate that the most secretive programs are 15 years more technologically advanced than we are in the public domain.

AI and Quantum Computing come to mind as likely focus areas in addition to those already mentioned.
This article is terrible. Referring to the Goldberg paper as "long article with loltz of formulas" in a throwaway blog post shorter than most of these comments is telling.

The "absurd" result that [1+2 != 3] * (0.1) isn't even the problem with floating point. It's an even simpler misconception that "even" vs. "repeating" fractions are the same for base 10 vs. base 2 fractions.

So we can understand that 0.33+0.33+0.33 != 1 in decimal due to rounding. So when 0.1 (decimal) which is a truncated repeating "binary decimal" fraction isn't exact we loose our shit. But why is base 10 good and base 2 bad? Why not base 57? Clearly for any base, a truncated decimal-like fraction will be inexact for a lot of numbers. Rounding errors will add up, but this is really a binary vs. decimal issue.

More subtle are errors that grow simply because of issues specific to floating point. For example re-normalization when numbers of very different magnitudes are added or subtracted which eventually causes precision loss.

This is neither hard to understand, nor the only complication with floating point, nor is anything wrong, or bad, nor should anything be fixed in IEEE-754. This is just stuff that numeric programmers MUST understand, at least at the rudimentary level.

My dream for the United States is that we repopulate everyone to Texas* and let the rest of the country be wild, in varying degrees, and accessible by bullet train. That’s my stance as an avid outdoorsman. Then we could see all this natural majesty flourish.

* I have not looked up the numbers recently, but I recall that we could fit the entire population of the United States in to Texas with a resulting population density less than that of Manhattan. Obviously doing this is not feasible, for a number of reasons.
Simple transformations can easily become complex to do with regex, so I've started using vim macros instead.

My napkin math tells me about 100-200k engineers at FAANG proper, about 100k more getting paid at FAANG level outside of FAANG (depends on who you include like Microsoft and if you count high-paying startups with high chances of success like Airbnb). Roughly half the people I work with (including first line managers) are "senior" so I would guess about 100k-150k people.
You are luckier than me: I've spent 10 years bombarded with ads for things I never bought, never wanted to buy and that are directly insulting at this point. (Buying something would maybe give me a two day break though.)

This crate is for enabling low-overhead tracing of userland Rust code. To that end it supports both systemtap and ltt-ng.

Systemtap probes are available to eBPF instrumentation, so in that sense this does indirectly use eBPF. I know this isn't obvious, I haven't had a chance to get the docs up to my standard.

In fact I went to great lengths to ensure that the eBPF tracing tools can discover the trace points generated by this implementation. This even required submitting an upstream bug to the BCC toolchain. But now it works great for primitive types that have some meaningful equivalent in eBPF terms.
Thanks for adding that to the discussion. I'd like to point out a couple of things:

(1) that adding features can create problems is well known among good ML practitioners (I daresay, esp. to those who have a fair amount of exposure to non-deep-learning techniques). With deep learning you can afford to worry less since with enough data and compute cycles, the network can figure out what to ignore. Which is convenient. Throwing out uninformative features however, may still have a practical benefit: less features -> smaller dataset size -> faster training.

(2) This is probably a minor nitpicky point: adding more features can lead to no improvements not only because of the curse of dimensionality, but sometimes simply because the feature has absolutely no bearing on the label; that is to say you might not be adding noise, but you might not be adding information either.

Boxing / self-defence.

While you'll have to do a lot of practice to have the moves come fluidly and naturally, you can learn the basic principles of boxing or self defence very quickly if you do a 1-on-1 session with a pro.

Even for myself - someone that does 4-6 hours of boxing a week, it was incredibly valuable getting a couple of 1-on-1 sessions and having my technique scrutinised.
PhDs are overrated

Being able to learn things yourself, then learning on the job is more important.
The 50 cent cost is typically never the deal breaker, it's BLE certification/regulatory compliance testing for FCC and friends of the end product which is prohibitive for small/medium businesses.

If you ever plan on using a BLE in a cell phone accessory, regulatory costs may break the $1M mark by 2020. That's cost to certify the accessory for use in various territories

Yes exactly. The goal of this project is to let authors put trace points in their code and at compile time target whatever tracing system makes sense. On Linux that's either systemtap or ltt-ng. On Windows it (will be; not implemented yet) the event tracing API, on MacOS and FreeBSD it would be dtrace. There's also an option to completely disable tracing at compile time, which removes all tracing code and imposes absolutely zero runtime overhead.
I remember having some sort of feeling "negative-g" at that time (and plenty of people were screaming!) but we probably did have some amount of positive G. Probably not much though.
Run your own MX servers but use an external service for your SMTP server. A good service will help you with your SPF, DKIM and DMARC setup as part of the service. As you are only using the SMTP service you can optimize for that and ignore mailbox sizes, etc. when shopping around. You should be able to get multiple App Passwords so no shared credentials.

My side project is a local first (local storage on web) JAMStack. For extra goodness it’s mobile first too.

I really love making apps this way for some reason. I think it’s the focus on just the UI and not worrying about the back end until later.

Today's SaaS world is largely economically opposed to the idea of data ownership. It's a lot easier to make money by renting people access to their data.

The problem is not inherently technical. The solution must address the fact that the software businesses favor cloud solutions and other systems that make it difficult to stop spending money
Binary Search. (And its antithesis, exponential growth.)

In my opinion it is the single most important piece of computer science insight with the constraint that you only have less than an hour.

I often use binary search as a sort of thought experiment into whether something is "obvious" or not. As a child, I would say exponential growth is the one thing that I developed no intuition for between the age of 1–11. Even now, I regard exponentiation as the one really fundamental thing you possibly won't discover or have intuition for on your own and first see it at school (in contrast to addition or multiplication maybe). And even then, you have to accept exponential growth before you start to "understand" it. Maybe if you are Gauss, it's different for you...

Binary search is also a nice way of explaining counting, specifically the combinatorics thereof. You can write down the numbers [0,...,2^n-1] in binary, and then show how when you halve each time with binary search, you actually are just checking the leading bit (and then discarding it). When you have discarded all the bits in that way, then you have found the position you are looking for.

We've considered relocating to LA and the universal advice of everyone who's lived there was "it's a great place as long as you don't ever go anywhere". According to multiple people, if you stay home/very close (e.g. someone went to college there and rarely left its general vicinity), it's fine; as soon as you need to go anywhere it's hell because every mode of transportation is abysmal. And that is often the 3rd largest part of one's life after office time and sleep.
For me personally, even SFBA was too much in that regard so we quickly dropped SoCal from consideration :)
Depends. If the app can stand alone like a PWA type of thing then this architecture is very useful for both speed and offline graceful degradation. Also having to render some of your page on the server and some on the client can be painful. Doing it all on the client is neater in some aspects, relegating the server as a security and business logic engine. It’s the old three tier architecture!
any marginally successful "local-first" app is going to go and raise $10m in vc, switch to software as a service, and add an enterprise mode that requires user permissions and data access to be managed on the server

Um, but the author surely is exempt, right?

I mean he very clearly thinks he's right about all those "Jerks" being kind of over-inflated.

If he's right, then the very best, very most creative and correct people who have vision and the most (deserved) self-confidence are still "Jerks" if they recognize that any of their peers are bloom'in idjits.

And the bloom'in people taking pot-shots at them, like this author, are then "Not Jerks"...

right... got it.

So unless everyone is exactly equal in worth, nearly everybody with awareness is a "Jerk", and many, but not all, of them are wrong.

I’ve also learned a number of knots. The only knot I ever really tie is the tautline hitch. The average person cannot string up a piece of rope and remove all slack because all they know is the granny or square knot. This knot is also incredibly simple and versatile. If you are reading this do yourself a favor and learn this over the next 5 minutes. The bolin should also be learned because the tautline hitch cannot be used for rescue purposes.
This video is about “Code Pages, Character Encoding, Unicode, UTF-8 and the BOM”.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I had to implement an ISO 8859 encoding to UTF-8 converter in assembly when I was at uni around 8-10 years ago. So this is standard stuff for most developers who graduate from the University of Oslo.
Even in deals where there is a breakup fee, it's not a part of the LOI. It would be negotiated as a part of the Merger Agreement or Asset Purchase Agreement, to cover what happens if the deal signs, but then one party breaks off before moving to closing. The LOI is always non-binding so there's no firm commitment to do the deal at that phase and no penalty for breaking up.

> I won’t enter into a discussion on the meaning of “utility,” a concept with variations and stratifications that are centuries in the making, and which itself merits an entire book

late 14c., "fact of being useful," from Old French utilite "usefulness" (13c., Modern French + utilité), earlier utilitet (12c.), from Latin utilitatem (nominative utilitas) "usefulness, serviceableness, profit," from utilis "usable," from uti "make use of, profit by, take advantage of" (see use (v.)).

Belgian court: IRS allowed to copy your data
My worry is that some games will be distributed exclusively through these streaming services and people will be unable to even obtain a local copy. There's certainly incentive for publishers to do so since it'd eliminate piracy, and perhaps Google will give exclusivity deals to various titles.

Due to this I'm actually kind of hoping for this service to fail to catch on.

"Multiple Services - Mitigated

Summary of Impact: Between 00:57 and 03:40 UTC on 20 Nov 2019, customers and services utilizing Azure Front Door (AFD) services were impacted by an infrastructure service failure. This resulted in a loss of connectivity to multiple services reliant on AFD.

Azure Front Door services provide Edge caching and network entry point services to the Microsoft global network. This issue impacted a large percentage of Microsoft Services, though not all services were impacted. Many impacted services were able to initiate fail over from the AFD platform, providing immediate mitigation to their customers.

Preliminary Root Cause: During a recent periodic deployment, initial safety checks did not detect the issue and prevent the roll out. Monitoring detected once service failure was experienced and alerted engineers.

Mitigation: Engineers immediately initiated deployment rollback procedures to correct the underlying Azure Front Door issue. This was completed at 02:40 UTC on 20 Nov 2019, at which point Impacted services began recovering.

A detailed root cause analysis will be published within 72 hours."
