If someone genuinely spent the time to help catch errors in my manuscripts, I'd be thrilled. Editors are expensive!

That the automated system as described can be abused is a real problem, and that needs to be addressed. But that is a separate issue from the generally bad state of what passes for final edits in many books nowadays. That the author in question can't be bothered to keep a current copy of their manuscript leaves me lukewarm on the issue.
You are comparing apples and hand grenades here. Major publishers have a budget--but they also have account managers with Amazon who contact them if something goes sideways. This is somebody, whether intentionally or not, kicking an indie (she's got one publication through Simon and Schuster, the rest are Amazon self-publications) writer in the shins.
The thing to keep in mind is that paying for it is no guarantee that you aren't still also the product even without direct advertising. Incentives are a very messuy business and everything is a signal to someone - regardless of validity. There are no epistemological guarantees period so wariness is always required.
That's a strange reaction, considering the KKK barely even exists anymore.
Keeping up motivation seems most important to me. After thinking about it for a while, it seems nearly impossible to learn a second language unless you have some interest in the culture behind it.
It's a lower bound for a highly active project.
Implementation of TOP here http://www.itasks.org/

As a business person rather than software engineer the highly functional concept appeals.

Has anyone used this methodology in a live environment? Thoughts?
I personally could afford to do that (not everyone with a car and smartphone can), but it wouldn't be a good use of my limited budget to do that for every meal.
I can read it just fine without logging in or unblocking the website.
Top engineers understand. The hardware, the OS, the protocols.They use that understanding to solve problems. The comprehension is the differentiator between top and anyone else.
One important thing missing from the current criticism is Protobuf’s lack of a facility for serializing a sequence of messages to a file. There’s RecordIO internally at Google, yet they markedly declined to open-source the C++ lib for it. There’s hints of it in Protobuf Java and then Amazon has open-sourced their own implementation of it with the same name.

Lack of public RecordIO is partially to blame for creation of TFRecords, which are in many ways inferior to (for example) tar archives of string-serialized protobuf messages. (tar supports index, streaming, compression, etc).
He spent a few credits for the learning, and then spent $1000 (cash and credits) to leave it up in production for a year.
It can't be a strawman when it's an argument that the opponents have actually made. Examples are easy to find:

So you’re saying everything except “operating systems, development tools, databases and other infrastructure stuff” is “niche software”? I’m not following, e.g., that would make Google and Facebook niche software?
Man it's a shame that this system is having undesired consequences for the author, but the whole thread just reeks of pretentious entitlement.

Readers are giving feedback through an app that makes it easy for them to do so. Maybe the feedback is unhelpful, but I don't see anything here indicating that the readers are acting in bad faith.

These authors should start from a position of gratefulness that their work is being published and read. From there it would be much easier to interpret this in a constructive way.
That’s a big multiple below an SV salary.
The irony of open source is that its biggest success is closed-source web apps, which, since your data is now hosted in the cloud, means you've lost the one thing you actually had control over, your data. And you still don't have the source code.
I was not even aware that this flag existed. I've seen a couple of truly bum books on Amazon[1][2], and I suppose that this is meant to catch them, but there ought to be some sort of middle ground where publishers can agree with amazon not to publish shovel-lit, and amazon will agree to give them the benefit of the doubt.

[1][2] I was going to link to two such books, but they're 404 dogs now, so I suppose the system does work in some cases - I left reviews to the effect of "don't buy this, these books are fake/ultra low quality" and they have since been removed.
What it's like to bootstrap a business before it can financially support you
Probably true (I think all x64 hardware includes SSE at least), but they did imply they were trying to use just the scalar instructions. (They also said no hand-assembly, but something like:

register uint64_t ra,rd,...
ra += 0xFFFFFFFF&r8
rd += r8 >> 32

should accomplish much the same thing given a resonably well-developed compiler.)
I'm not sure about the general thesis, but some of the history is questionable. For one thing, I assume gumby would disagree about Red Hat being "the first company to build a successful business on top of open-source software" (for values of "open-source" equal to "free"), even if though became successful enough to buy Cygnus.
Well, it has WiFi, and it's assembled. I imagine I'd blow more thab $5 worth of time trying to reflow solder tiny pins on a CPU.
I've come to the conclusion that the economics are only part of the story.

Unless one is single, there's a ton of stuff you have to worry about, from finding a job for the spouse, to learning the language, subtle to not so subtle xenophobia, navigating a different social & political system, etc. Moving with kids makes things even more complicated, to the point that we essentially only have migration from poorer to richer countries. I'd wager immigration from the west to the east is almost zero. I know some cases, but it's a tiny minority.

Then there's the fact that most people don't want to live in another country, surrounded by foreigners speaking a language they will almost certainly never speak fluently themselves.

To be fair nobody* actually uses final ISO standards even if they refer to them. I think JPEG is an example of where the "draft" became the de facto official standard because that's what everybody used instead of paying for the actual standard.
Yes, exactly. The hard part is how, and that's what I think can be done. ;)
GKE is cheaper than DO if you don't have huge cpu needs, I just checked it recently. DO minimum is $15/mo for kubernetes, on Google you can get to around $7 with a "micro" VM.

That is, if you really want managed kubernetes. Otherwise you can get a $5 VM on DO.

I think the workers should be your revenue model. But I also don’t see that generating quite enough revenue without some creative means. Definitely have a tip jar. Maybe non targeted ads?

Crazy idea time. Build out a suite of features for someone to fully document employer abuse. Request a portion of legal windfalls as cost for downloading the data.

Or maybe partner with labor unions? You will have to refrain from the crazy idea though.
My techniques: Listen to movies in the languages you are learning. Listen to foreign radio while you work. Examples:

101.ru

deutschland.fm

radio-italiane.it/radio-italia

Listen to a lot of content even if you don't understand. Don't try to pay attention all the time. Your brain will work in the background. Platforms can help with vocabulary and grammar, but without real content to listen, you don't get the full experience (listening skills, cultural contact, fluidity, etc.).
I guess the same was true for Flickr.

But trying to find a brand name that doesn't offend in any language, while also not having to pay $10k to some domain squatter is basically impossible nowadays.

In my mind Roth IRAs will only be advantageous if income tax rates are higher in the future. But that’s true of money kept in savings as well, since it’s already taxed. And Roth IRA gains IIRC are taxed as income at withdrawal, which is higher than capital gains right now. I might be wrong about that though.

I don’t see how a Roth IRA is really any different than keeping money in a traditional savings account, besides the withdrawal rules.
That's what people keep telling me.
It's at heart a recursive bisection approach. See section 304 of "Metafont: the Program" in particular. But also keep in mind they're generating bilevel output (in which variants of Bresenham are effective), and today we're much more concerned with antialiased rendering.
This article reiterates the belief that jvm start-up time is slow is somewhat a myth. When. I measured it years ago, I found jvm start-up time to be roughly equivalent to node.js.

What makes start-up time bad in any interpreted language, including Java, python, and JavaScript, is code-loading time. This time is 0(n), where n is the total size of your app, including transitive dependencies. It takes time to load, parse, and validate non-native code. This time far dwarfs any vm start-up time.

As an experiment, write a hello world node.js app and time it's execution. Then add an import statement on the aws sdk. Don't actually use it. Just import it! When I last measured it, this caused start-up time to go from 30 Ms to something like 300 Ms. The extra time mostly comes from loading code.

For a native app, the binary itself just gets mmapped into memory. Shared library loading is more expensive, but not much, and way less than loading source code or byte code.

The tldr is if you want a fast starting non-native app, you have to shrink the transitive dependency closure your app loads to do it's job. This is easy for toy benchmark apps but can be harder for real apps. It also goes against the philosophy of most devs to rely on third party libraries for everything. For instance, If you care about start-up time, it may be worth re implementing that function you'd normally get from guava or apache commons. You can alternatively use a tool like proguard to shrink your dependency closure.

I'm Jewish and my father is Israeli, so I was learning to connect with them and my heritage. I'm no expert on Hebrew but one thing I noticed is it's connection to the Bible:

Adam means "Man" or "Mankind" in Hebrew.

"Earth" is Adama.

"Human Being" is Ben Adam, literally "Son of Adam", or "Son of Man".

I concur. The user provides feedback through the obvious interface they see, and the author blames the user. If it had started from a place of empathy, maybe it'd have the desired effect, but it doesn't for me. Maybe the author could have blamed the system, or raised the issue with Amazon, but starting off blaming the user sounds silly.
I know right? They forgot the '.' between 'a' and 'out'.

Wait... What am I supposed to be parsing for again?

Yes and no. Even if they are acting with good intentions, it's still causing negative consequences for the author. I can understand it would be especially frustrating if the "correction" was incorrect.
In the book The Vital Question the author argues that nuclei were invented to protect against the original mithocondrial DNA:

> Introns are the result of "a barrage of genetic parasites" that early eukaryotes faced from their own endosymbionts; nuclei evolved as a defence against this, allowing spliceosomes to remove introns from transcribed messenger RNA before ribosomes can translate them into proteins.

Equating serious concern of the effects of cheap foreign labour with racism is a wonderful way to prevent any meaningful discussion. Bonus points for antagonizing white people, that kind of pure racism is not really helping anyone.
I recommend that video too!

The Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco has a multiplane camera you can see in person:

https://www.google.com/search?q=walt+disney+family+museum+mu...

and from the filming of Pinocchio:

https://www.waltdisney.org/blog/machine-imagination-walt-dis...

The scene opens on a foggy evening. The camera pushes through wisps of mist thick as smoke. A faint light is revealed, hanging over a doorway and dangling sign, “Red Lobster Inn.” In the background lie ships at dock, hulking masses nearly shapeless in the fog. The disquieting camera dolly is broken by a seamless dissolve to inside the building, as Honest John jubilantly sings “An Actor’s Life For Me.” The camera continues to push forward through a veritable maze of architecture, woodwork, and cigar smoke. Finally, the image rests on Honest John, joined by Gideon and the evil Coachman, tucked away in a corner booth of the establishment.

All done frame by frame on the multiplane.

Ya, I pulled some content from a Reddit thread. I also did some research for some of the posts and wrote them myself, pulling together various info from quality sources I could find. And the other posts are direct from the source, as I coordinated the writing of them.
Until management notices, does the X hours saved multiplication by number of developers, and the resources for improvement will be found soon.
I came away with the opposite interpretation. The author never blames the readers for doing this. The author even fully understands that the system is designed to help readers to be "helpful" in this regard, but the system is clearly misguided. And in this case it's not even a typo, the "bug submitter" has incorrectly identified a bug which has saddled the author with a potential loss in sales because of the "low quality" rating it can immediately imbue.

Here we have a system designed to facilitate near real-time feedback trying to push fixes upstream into a system built on hard-copy which is very non-trivial to merge patches into. Ultimately it punishes the author out-of-band of the publisher which is also broken. Sure, you can flail your finger at the stupid publishers for still printing in hard copy, but that doesn't solve the problem.
I'm not sure how the both of you can interpret the author's words the way you have.

> Hey, I don’t know if whoever flagged the typos in my ebook thought they were helping, but please don’t do that. That just means there’s a quality warning on Amazon’s sale’s page. It’s super not helpful, particularly when the issue is vernacular English.

> You have made my life way more difficult on Christmas Eve by setting this flag. I’m sure that wasn’t your intent, but...yeah, not great.

> Again, my dear proofreader friends, please don’t blame yourselves. Amazon doesn’t exactly explain that your desire to be helpful is telling a computer that Book Is Bad, Pull Bad Book.
Food chemistry is somehow subtle.

Rooster sauce/sriracha is also very 'resilient'.

On the other side bolonese and similar spoil fast.
Zero-copy formats usually turn out to be worse for use as in-app data structures, because they have to carefully control memory allocation and layout in a way that makes it hard to mutate an already-constructed message.

E.g. in Cap'n Proto, all objects in a message are allocated sequentially within the larger message buffer. If you remove an object or change its size (e.g. overwrite a string field with a new value of different length), the new value needs to be allocated on the end and the memory space for the old value cannot be reused -- it is wasted.

I'm not super-familiar with FlatBuffers, but I believe it uses a model where messages must strictly be constructed in bottom-up order, such that all pointers point in the same direction. This seems to imply that you can't modify a message at all after construction, but I haven't actually played with it so I could be mistaken.

(I'm the author of Cap'n Proto.)
Have you written about this phenomenon more extensively elsewhere? Would to love to read about it in detail.
Nice presentation! I particularly like the waves view, really nice simplification of complex data

> Or to voluntarily choose not to associate with them, which is all the SPLC is advocating people do.

Except that they're lying about it by classifying them as a "hate group" over ideological differences.

There is a major category difference between the Klan, out there burning crosses and lynching people, and some nonviolent conservatives out there saying nonviolent conservative stuff.

Pointing out the difference isn't violating freedom of association, it's just pointing out the difference.
Because running is inherently incompatible with human physiology.
I was going to mention this as well. Any time a user has an underutilized K8S cluster if only 3 nodes I immediately wonder if the auto-scaling (to zero) docker-running features of Cloud Run are what they’re really looking for.
There's a huge gap between bitching about bad code and coaching someone to refactor code into a good (or at least better) state. A code review is ideally the latter.
The frustrating is that these virulent things often define the standard, instead of a well-thought-through solution. E.g. JavaScript.
I feel like there's a huge business opportunity for a pack-and-ship franchise on the non-secure side of airports.

Have a big display of bags/envelopes conceptually like the Priority Mail flat-rate envelopes/boxes. If you realize you brought a local sauce, or a souvenir pocket knife, and can't check it, you can just toss it in one of those bags, seal it, write your address on, pay a modestly extortionate price, and it shows up at home a few days after you get back. By making it flat rate, they streamline purchasing flow and avoid hassle of people trying to optimize what they send back while on the checkout queue.

I could also imagine it directly competing with the airlines' excess-bag charges-- if you're staring down the barrel of a $150 "third checked bag" penalty because you got something special abroad, being able to slap a FedEx sticker on your suitcase full of dirty clothes and pay $75 is a compelling value.
Still paid out with no other corroborating anything. Makes you wonder how often this happens with people that actually have money, and could turn around and say woops.

"According to the affidavit, K. Edmonson filed a fraudulent tax return in September 2017 seeking a refund of approximately $725,111. The return contained false and fraudulent claims that K. Edmonson had paid a substantial amount of withholding taxes. The IRS did not receive corresponding forms to support the claimed payments. Despite the false nature of the tax return, on January 28, 2018, the Department of Treasury mailed a tax refund check to K. Edmonson for $734,266.27 (including $9,036.27 in interest). Shortly thereafter, K. Edmonson deposited this tax refund check into his bank account."
Some things I've flagged recently:

- A word that was in boldface, except for the last letter.

- "downlike", which should have been "down like".

- A gloss of Han Wudi as the "marshal emperor" (should be "martial emperor").

- "teapoy", which I thought was a typo for "teapot". It wasn't! I learned this a few pages later, when the text mentioned gathering several things into the teapoy. But you can't unreport a typo.

Still, typo reporting is obviously a good idea, not a bad idea. The lesson is to develop workflows that accommodate it, not to stop flagging mistakes.
Exactly this. The hole on the ozone layer could be solved, so a huge political movement appeared, solved it, and got away.

Compared to that, the only thing one can get from the current discussions about Global Warming is a cognitive dissonance. So people don't care, or actively do not believe.

I wonder how far we could go if the political discourse changed from "how do we stop emitting GW gases?" to "how do we increase solar power 100 fold?", "how do we electrify industry and transportation?", and "how do we capture CO2 into synthetic substances?"

>Countless chemical reactions take place in cells and are responsible for all the actions of organisms. Together, these reactions make up an organism's metabolism.

>When a chemical reaction takes place energy is either taken in or released.

>Two types of metabolic reactions take place in the cell: 'building up' (anabolism) and 'breaking down' (catabolism). Anabolic reactions use up energy. Catabolic reactions give out energy. They are exergonic.

At the lowest level there are chemical reactions, is it not fair to say that chemical reactions are binary? Either releasing or taking in energy?

Within the cell the net of the chemical reactions is the metabolism which are either anabolic or catabolic.

There is no doubt there are many processes where one reaction triggers the other in an ongoing but the chemical reactions or metabolic reactions (net chemical reactions) are either anabolic or catabolic.

The US is perfectly capable of supplying the minds that will invent next year's technologies, but probably not at the current salaries :) It just might be that the companies making tens of billions will have to start sharing more of the pie.

"the outsourcing companies will get better and do the job cheaper remotely from India, so even more of the tech work will just get outsourced, meaning there will be even less tech jobs in Europe. You really can't stop the inevitable consequences of the global free market, unless you want to go full protectionist. So acquiring and KEEPING skilled labor through immigration is probably a much smarter long term choice compared to protectionist immigration strategies. "

I'd like to see some arguments in support of your statements. Outsourcing companies are more or less stuck at the same level, because they just jump from crappy project to crappy project and they don't invest in employee development and furthermore treat their employees poorly.

There's a line of reasoning saying that the current political meltdown in Western Europe is a direct cause of the global free market which is royally fucking blue-collar professions and is also hitting the upper layers. They've had enough of being force-fed globalization and multi-culturalism and now they're lashing out.
