I personally suspect the main reason for going above ground is morale and psychological essentially to have some sunlight and a view of the world they are settling to validate the purpose on an emotional level.

I am uncertain of the ergonomics of living spaces in artifical environments - I suspect even the experts are uncertain and even if they invested heavily they would discover design mistakes to correct in future iterations.

It lets you continue safely using your phone after a year or two, because it won't be stuck on outdated software full of unpatched security vulnerabilities.
Because code has no political or other opinion - it either works or it's trash. When one or two people in the world ban good code, everyone loses. Rather, those one or two people are problematic and could use psychological guidance to fit in better.
To be honest, for me the point where you discover "this media query does not behave correctly on this device that I need to support" is where you stop digging and find a different solution for detecting pointing devices.

I get a consistent 25-27fps on my Google Pixel.
use proper logging with log levels.. just being able to switch on debug level and get a wealth of info is a big step in the right direction.. my debug lines have method names and line numbers.. I take this so seriously that I have my custom logging method for bash and python (I script a lot in both).. I drop a lot of info lines as I code and switch them debug once I'm finishing up..

confirming fundamentals is another tried and tested method..

other than logging and methodology, having the right tools is important.. I use pudb for my debugger in python.. and bash -xv for shell..

error reporting is also important.. I use 'trap' and set -E in bash to capture all errors, provide a lot of info and even email it to me..

in python I have exception hook.. I even monkey patched threading to report its uncatched errors to the main threads exception hook (I use python2.7 for work.. this is fixed in latest python3)

during my dev phase I always give more time to coming up with a solution vs with running with an idea.. this allows you to engineer a solution..

and lastly.. in my down time I think about the problems I couldn't solve at the desk.. this could be when I'm about to sleep.. when I'm playing pool.. etc.. I find that solutions come easier at these moments..
I think the main thing is that generic mindfulness exercises don't have a devotional aspect, i.e. no worship or veneration of deities, prophets, saints, spirits, or the like. A lot of people in cultures influenced by Abrahamic traditions don't think of something as "religion" unless it has devotional practice.

An important exception is that some Christian fundamentalists regard any form of magic or mysticism other than God's miracles as being inherently Satanic. This can even extend to fictional systems of magic (as in fantasy novels or RPGs), which may be regarded as an obfuscated form of the real thing.

So even though GPU time is more expensive and GPUs need specialized programming, for this particular problem they can’t be beat with raw CPU power, either in absolute or in $/ops measures.

Just putting a problem on a ton of cores is an absolutely valid strategy for problems that are a bad fit for GPUs.
My coworker is a fan of:

try:
something() # that throws nonfatal errors frequently
except:
pass

"it saves time in development" they say. Good luck if something in that (non trivial) function call breaks.

Ugh.

Don't be like that.

If you don't know the precise error, heres the solution (in python):

except Exception as exc:
log("{}: {}".format(type(exc).__name__, exc))

Bingo, you now know what to catch. Catch that error, move your broad exception down (or remove if you can)

I attended a game development program at the college I went to and we had pretty nifty computer graphics classes. Basically you learn how graphics work on a computer first. There's a lot of tutorials out there and some pretty easy to learn frameworks for graphics programming. From then on it depends on what you want to achieve, but basically you'll have to learn and understand a lot of physics and then translate that into code.

I don't know if this is even remotely the answer you were looking for. But if you're interested in computer graphics give it a shot! It's super fun and a good way to learn all kinds of new stuff.

It’s a strawman. I never used “big” in an absolute sense, so it’s implied that I meant “big” in their field.
Idealistic greed is different from regular greed. Idealistic greed is always about expanding the mission. To do work that's even more important. To reach even more people. To expand the battle or skirmish into a full-on war (see this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21612488). It can lead to ruin just as easily as regular greed can, particularly when you consider that the people you end up negotiating with, who often specialize in regular greed, are usually better at it, and aren't hobbled and constrained the way you are by your vision or mission.
Well not an expert on this but one obvious factor I've seen, crazier and more exhausting work hours and boat-loads of work stress. Even for super-skilled professional types, it grinds you down. I work in one of those supposed dream jobs in a tech firm in Colorado, and every year it's worse and worse. We're forced to put up with impossible tasks, not just coding related but now like 20 hours a week of administrative so we're pushing above 70 hours a week even though salary hasn't gone up anywhere near to cover the additional hours. If you call in sick or go on vacation, you may not have a job waiting for you when you can get back because HR will just hire cheap labor from abroad.

Result? Everyone's burning out and getting sicker and sicker every year but we can't go off the treadmill or we wind up "redundant" and lose our health insurance. Just last month one of the ladies who'd been with us for a decade died of a heart attack- in her late 30's! She hadn't taken a vacation day in 5 years. Another guy died when his car ran into a guard-rail. A kid working here, super-skilled and promising, died apparently of a meth overdose after working 3 days straight no sleep.

Meanwhile our two partner companies in Europe, people work around 35 hours a week or 40 tops, get 6 weeks' vacation, everyone healthier and happier. But here's the crazy thing, they get just as much done as we or even more. Probably because they're a lot healthier and can think on their toes better not being worn out all the time. They make about as much money as we do, sometimes more. They don't even pay more taxes than we do in Colorado, that's some dumb misconception. Americans are basically modern slaves and we only have even worse working conditions to look forward to every year. And no, it's not just working class, it's horrible for professionals and skilled too. I think they're saying now lawyers, doctors and engineers have the highest alcoholism, suicide and meth overdose rate of anyone, at least in this part of Colorado. So it's only gonna get worse from here.

Sorry, but no. He is not just a random guy off the street, he is in a responsible public position, and this is already his defense, so it is reasonable to think that this is the best he could come up with to defend his decision, it's not some misinterpreted tweet that was taken out of context.

Also, I have not seen anyone advocating for hurting him, which would obviously be out of place, but you can not take on the responsibility for a public good worth billions and then expect exceedingly friendly treatment when you completely fuck it up because you didn't care to exercise even a minimal amount of diligence, in the best case.

And while "idiot" or "fool" might not be neutral terms, they are still terms that at their core describe his actions in this case (assuming it wasn't corruption), it's not just random name calling to degrade a person.

Now, if there really is an explanation how all of this is in the public interest, sure, bring it forward, and push it to the front page of HN, I certainly would want to know. But the mere fact that even the best-founded judgement could always turn out to be completely wrong after all based on new evidence is not a reason to hold back criticism when there is solid evidence supporting that criticism, because the theoretical possibility does not mean it is actually likely or common.
Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents.

I had one good class: https://cr.yp.to/2004-494.html

I will also say that I went to a good high school (IMSA) and a mediocre university (UIC). High school prepared me to be very bored in college. I had already taken calculus through "multi-variable calculus", number theory, 4 years of Japanese (including living for a year in Japan), physics, organic chemistry, learned 4 programming languages, wrote a tiny OS, etc. Most of college was just rehashing all this again, and then in your fourth year you get to learn new stuff. I wasn't willing to be bored for 3 years so that I could spend one year learning new things, so just quit. It helped that I found a security vulnerability in the school's registration system as part of that MCS494 class (100% sanctioned by the professor) and they decided that was a violating of their computer use agreement, so I was no longer allowed to use any computer systems, including the registration system. I am sure I could have fought it, but I decided it was a waste of time and got a job instead.

15 years later... I wrote a book, I've taught classes, I worked at Google for 6 years... so I am not sure I missed out on much. I would never tell anyone else not to pursue higher education, but it wasn't my thing. If I'm interested in something, I can spend a week teaching it to myself. Not everyone is like that, so college is great for them.
Mindfulness is Buddhist, as Ajahn Brahm explains here: https://youtu.be/fq-nVhcn-dM?t=80

>I did hear recently [someone saying] that Buddhism doesn't own mindfulness, giving a simile, that just because Newton discovered the law of gravity, it doesn't mean that it's English. [..] not a very clever simile. Yes, Isaac Newton was English, but he was a scientist. So the law of gravity is science, in the same way that mindfulness is Buddhist.

If you want attention and acceptance training then call it that. If you want mindfulness then see it in the proper perspective, which is not ripped out of its context to serve consumerist/capitalistic goals.

That's a pretty political bent on things, especially if you are considering the protestant world view:

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast." (book of Ephesians)

The text (and theology) clearly divorce the outcome from the work being done. Frankly a plan reading of the text would be sympathetic to socialism (also see the day of Pentecost, the parable of the workers, etc..). It's very tortured to suggest that somehow this is actually a libertarian "pull yourself up" world view.

> Its a controversial assertion for non-scientific reasons.

so Keto is controversial because it puts pharmaceutical companies under on diabetes drugs, even though basically any kind of weight-loss diet has a positive effect on diabetic patients?

Nah.

It's controversial because it's a recent fad, and because it's extreme compared to the unrestricted diet of most people. It's been around for years (keto diet) , but it's recently got the spotlight of the public, so for the past few years it's been the miracle diabetic cure -- much like atkin's or whatever other fad diets were around in the past.

>Anyone who says, on a scientific basis, that keto is dangerous might as well be lumped in with flat earthers, climate change deniers, and anti-vaxxers.

ridiculous assumption that the 'scientific basis' is a single conformal idea across the entire industry of researchers. Of course any kind of restrictive diet can be dangerous for some folks, the idea that any diet is absolutely safe is ridiculous on its' face.

Low carb diets have been suspected for years to be no-good for afib patients. The keto diets are now being suspected of the same issue, and there are papers that will soon be published to give us a better idea on the scope (if any) of the issue.

Did you, or anyone really, think that there were any danger-free diets, ever? It's a foolish assumption, given the breadth of diets that exist simply to keep people with unique physiologies living.

Prediction : there will never be a grand unifying diet that works for everyone. We're too diverse.

Agreed. Besides, SPJ is not advocating teaching without computers at all. He just discusses de-emphasizing the "cool tech" aspect of CS, but also says that completely excluding computers wouldn't be much fun.

The relevant slide states about programming (and computers and tech):

- Crucial, motivating, and "ground truth".
- But also seductive, distracting, and risks excessive focus on technology details

It's hard for me to disagree with either claim.

SPJ is also not talking about "irrelevant knowledge without practice". I won't reiterate all his points, because that's what the lecture is for, but he stresses the practical parts as well as the theoretical parts, and he never claims CS should be taught "without practice".

this idea of espousing effective cures loses a lot of steam when the patient in question was cured by psychic healing, quartz crystals, or energy projection.

That's why there should exist a level of self-moderation with regards to cure cheerleading; did the psychic crystal surgery remove the cancer, or did your body make a natural recovery? Many would be inclined to believe that the crystal made the difference, and that's a dangerous public opinion.
