To some extend, I think that we also tend assume that to hard to communicate with people have higher skills then they have. They are less right then they like to pretend, but people don't like to question them.

Quite a lot of these issues is their inability to deal with requirements as they are or construct they are unused to without temper tamtrum.

Everyone is more effective on fun tasks, faster when allowed to skip uncomfortable requirements and looks smarter if no one dares to ask him questions or disagree.
A tree map is O(n*log n) on inserts, though.

For a hash map to be faster, you'd need to trade memory for speed, i.e have significantly more buckets than the expected size. This may however collide with good caching performance which I suspect is what the author observes.

RAR is a proprietary format... there is no free-software code to decompress RAR archives (the license agreement for the code that is available prohibits using the code to 'reverse engineer' the RAR format itself, and I'm guessing most projects don't want to have to change their license agreement to a non-free-software license to be able to include RAR support).

Not sure why anyone actually uses RAR these days...I really don't get it.

The new "owners" of BTC will not let it grow. BTC was intentionally captured and development-centralized to stop it from being able to scale and become peer-to-peer electronic cash for the world's people.
I thought that was obvious, yes.

My point is that the basis for the designations were made in a period where AM radio was the primary use case for radio and so frequencies higher than the AM radio band are called "high frequency," whereas today those frequencies are actually much, much lower frequency than nearly all forms of radio communication.

But Dyalog's sorting actually beats its own Unique!

cmpx '{(1,2≠/⍵)/⍵} {⍵[⍋⍵]} a'
1.3E¯2
({(1,2≠/⍵)/⍵} {⍵[⍋⍵]} a) ≡ ({⍵[⍋⍵]} ∪a)
1

The function {⍵[⍋⍵]} (index the argument by its own grade) sorts a vector ascending. {(1,2≠/⍵)/⍵} gets unique elements from a sorted numeric vector by taking all those elements which are first or unequal to their predecessor: 2≠/⍵ tests for inequality on all pairs of adjacent elements, and / uses a boolean vector on the left to filter elements on the right.

The second line tests that this unique-sort code gives the same result as sorting the result of Unique.

We use a radix sort for vectors of 4-byte or larger numbers. Unfortunately we can't use sorting to implement Unique in this way because Unique has to preserve the ordering in the original argument. However, it could be used to implement the sort-Unique or Unique-sort combination.

Not so obviously. Would you argue this for (say) lions or eagles? Few adults starve, when times are lean there is less breeding, and fewer kids who survive, compared to times of plenty.

Whereas the collapse of an early agricultural society (perhaps due to pests, or just no rain) probably did result in lots of adults starving, if there were more of them than could be supported on gathered food.

Headlights got brighter (no new car uses anything like a classic bulb, going for Xenon or LED most of the time) and cars got a lot taller on average (SUVs are more popular than ever) so you're getting more light even when the car is further away behind you.

I know it's a bit elitist but we all have a limited time only in life. Also these institutions are usually the only ones making actual breakthrough for money reasons: they brute force many hyperparameters on their giants cluster in a context where sometimes a single training cost 15k USD..

Also most papers which "look interesting" or "edgy" are usually a disappointment.

> an option to retire at 45 instead of 65

Retiring early is only a viable option if you do so in good physical and mental health. I'd rather spend my free time keeping myself in both, and retiring at 55. This is still entirely doable; even with the outrageous rent of where I currently live, I'm still able to save a third of my net wages, while not living very frugally.
You must be working in a different environment than me. The most common failure mode I see of devs is a lack of technical chops. Followed by communication skills, and not internalizing business goals. Don't see doesn't work well in a team, or had trouble doing as asked very often if at all.

But I work in Enterprise tech so maybe it's different.

How to Find IP Address in Python
Huh? I said their goal was to maintain their own credibility: they didn’t want the general public to misconstrue the Buzzfeed News article’s use of the word “direct” to indicate that the president explicitly said words like “Mr. Cohen please go lie to Congress” or some similar completely clear statement suborning perjury, which they didn’t find evidence of. The President’s desire was conveyed via implication rather than as a direct order, and coordination about the finer details was done through his other lawyers rather than personally communicated.

But when Buzzfeed asked several outside legal experts (not Mueller’s team), they supported the article’s use of the word “direct” to describe the President’s communications with Cohen. The way Buzzfeed’s critics have attacked them for this story is largely disingenuous, especially after the first few months, when additional evidence came to light largely corroborating Buzzfeed’s reporting.

As I said, this is a semantic dispute about the meaning of the word “direct”. There is plenty of available evidence that the President wanted Cohen to go make lying statements to Congress, and successfully (using his typical mob-boss-style language) communicated that desire to Cohen, and then followed up with congratulations about a job well done afterward.

But the Special Counsel’s office presumably wanted to avoid any possible confusion about the precise nature of available evidence that might undermine their credibility if taken up by e.g. right-wing media pundits.

Thanks for explaining that to me, a licensed amateur radio operator for more than 20 years. :p

I meant the AM radio broadcast band as an example of a popular use case of radio in the early days when the "high frequency" designation was made.

They are extremely low frequency compared to where most radio communication occurs today, orders of magnitude higher. Not literally ELF, which isn't used apart from extreme niches.

API Pentesting Notes
First, China is not xenophobic. Rather, Sino-phobic can pretty well describe a lot of Americans if their words are true to their hearts.

Secondly, freedom and rights all have prices. One's freedom is another one's lack thereof. Say you are free to speak your mind, what if I don't like to hear it? Like the N word, or anything that is not appropriate to pronounce even in "freedom of speech" countries. Is there complete freedom? Are there unlimited rights? Of course not. The issue is just where we should draw the line.

As to democracy, well, how do you tell it apart from populism? How to stop the elites from hijacking it to their own good? You know, if the propaganda machine is working full force, democracy or not is not that different. And you lose the efficiency.

IMHO, a mature person, and the collective of mature persons, aka a mature society, should know that there is nothing inherently, and absolutely good or bad. Everything requires compromises and tradeoffs. If you point to something and ridicule anyone else's unkind opinion torwards it, it is you being naive.

We don't do this kind of thing for very good reasons.

The more rigid/precise but also guided the input, the less errors and misunderstandings can happen. The trade-off is very small and comes down to a very minor annoyance and in some cases there are only upsides because a more guided experience can be more convenient.
> But although it is true that Russell’s political writings were often

Say what? Of all the books on politics I've read in my youth Russell's were some of best. Not simplistic but written in a clear language. Not naive but stemming from the rich classical liberal and socialist tradition of the likes of Wilhelm von Humboldt and John Stuart Mill. A tradition that has been completely erased from the history books in the last decades (which ought to make his political works all the more interesting).

(I fully accept the possibility that I am in fact naive and simple-minded, of course. :D)

Turbine and compressor blades can cause just that. Sometimes they also cut through control lines. Sometimes they just depressurize cabin in a way that kills passenger.

Feral animals do a lot of damage; and the article alludes to more than just water being the reason for the cull.

> A recent feral-camel-population boom is exacerbating the need for water, threatening damage to infrastructure and putting communities in Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara, an Aboriginal district, at risk, according to South Australia’s Department for Environment and Water.

In Victoria, I've heard estimates that there are 1.5 million feral deer in the Alpine National Park (this article talks about a million plus https://vnpa.org.au/dealing-with-deer/, I heard the 1.5 million verbally as a Parks Victoria estimate).

I can't speak for the camels in particular, but these feral animals don't belong in these habitats and are causing damage that causes issues for native wildlife, and apparently other issues.

That makes me sad; but I also know destroying/killing/culling animals is often not well perceived. It feels like a very tough problem to solve in a way that keeps everyone happy.
A rather bad analogy.
Super models are not unique in that they take their work home and watch their diet, their skin, etc
Plenty of regular models and people that you'll find putting in the same or more. Sure they maximised their chance of success by putting in this effort and by getting out there, etc but that the end of the day they were still lucky with their features, who they met, that persons preferences, etc.

As far as the actual topic goes. Sure there is pressure to become a super-coder and again there's some prerequisites like high intelligence but also drive that stems from passion and the ability to focus for extended periods of time. Is one of those things not found either naturally or because he's boxed into some employee role that coder isn't necessarily bad but unlikely to reach that status and is just gonna burn out.

As far as processors are concerned I loved the Zilog Z80 and the Motorola 68000. Oddly enough I really disliked the MT 6502 and the Intel 8086.

As total systems I loved the HP 41CX, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, the Symbolics Lisp Machine and the Apple Mac IIcx (or really just any Mac before the PowerPC debacle).

After that era, I just started home-building x86 machines, and while there was the odd preferred component, it never went beyond the 'A is better than B' stage.

It proobably depends on the company, and the type of role.

Also, the fact that you describe it as a restriction probably reveals a bit about your age =). (I don't meant that in a bad way).

I think a lot of it comes down to life stage.

If you're 24, with no family or commitments, life is easy and you can stay at work late, or code till 3am if you want to - the worst is your room-mate (or parents) might complain about the noise.

Hypothetically, if you're older, and have a wife and 3 kids...well, those things are going to take priority (and they should). Of course, they can provide an immense amount of joy and fulfilment - at least for me, far more than my work can (although I do really enjoy my work as well).

I have worked in IB, algo-trading, and now in tech - and none of them compared to the pure ecstatic joy I get from coming home, and making dinner for the kids, or reading to them, or helping them brush their teeth.

I do still code in my spare time - but honestly, with a family, there may not be that much free time (assuming you still want to keep other hobbies and pursuits as well).

For some parents it may be ego or hubris, for others irrational fear, and in many cases it may be driven by the consensus of a social group that someone identifies with.

The fact that individuals are making decision contrary to available evidence and data may be hard to accept (esp. for the HN community) but it happens all the time.

In order to convince people to change their behavior, appealing to the emotional and pro-social drivers may be more effective than providing better rational arguments.

To be clear: I am not endorsing people making obviously bad decisions, it drives me crazy, and I am 100% pro vaccines.

> If you take a step further and look at the economic ROI of their plans, they definitely outclass most PPO and HMOs.

You moved the goalpost from “healthcare outcomes for tech workers” to “economic ROI given their costs”. This is what I mean by poor reasoning.

Sure, Kaiser is a good bargain. Lowering costs means more people get care vs don’t get care. It is not the “gold standard” when premiums and deductibles are not an object, like a tech workers company sponsored plan.

> OP and myself were discussing Kaiser as a health care plan. The ranking you showed was about hospitals not health care plans;

This is a bizarre retort as Kaiser generally locks you into their hospitals. Clearly we’re arguing different things.
