At the end of this article the author links to and mentions the four types of technical documentation: https://www.divio.com/blog/documentation/

I’ve found this to be especially useful when writing documentation. If you don’t think in this way them your documentation may end up being an impromptu blend of more than one type, and hence may not be useful for a specific use case. Instead I try to structure the documentation for one of these.
No, they were impenetrable from the customer perspective, but either the human making the decision or the software being used can answer. With a black box model, nobody can answer.
why include 2019 in the title of this post? was it automatically added (is that a bug)?
Your last sentence is distasteful on so many levels. If you think a person is lying or can't be trusted to use the term "crippling depression" accurately, just say so.

To paraphrase a sibling comment, you sound like a self-help guru yourself, albeit a spiteful one. You deride others' solutions and offer up your own: hard magic-less work. Hard work is as much of a racket as easy magic.
Your grandparents may not have been able to teach your parents about mortgages, taxes etc. but they were able to teach them about discipline, conscientiousness, hardwork, thrift etc. These count for something. This situation is not unique to Africa, there are (white) Americans (especially from poorer places like Appalachia or even just outside of the big coastal cities) who don't grow up familiar with credit cards, venture capital or the notion of going to college etc. and have to figure these out for themselves as adults (see for e.g 'Hillbilly Elegy or 'Educated' by Tara Westover). Of course they're not quite in the same bucket but my point is there are age old 'qualities' that can go a long way to help make up for lack of specific knowledge.
Humans have an incredible history of adaptation and survival, and I do agree climate change is a big problem. The metrics are all going the wrong way, but I see the fallout (famine, disease, death, etc) as a natural corrective mechanism. Earth has a long history of hot and cold periods, the only difference being this time it's largely caused by humans.

We survived the plague, world wars, and much more, so I think we (as a species) will still be around on this rock for a long time to come.

Three things displeased me. First, one of the (many) ways in which TA was revolutionary for its time was that it largely emphasized thinking over rapid micromanagement and SC was a regression in this regard, an unnecessary concession to the RTS scene of the day. Second, how technically underwhelming it was in terms of pushing the envelope in scale, unit counts etc. compared to the gigantic leap in available performance between 1997 and 2007. Third, the unsolvable technical limitation that any game against the AI (including custom AIs) would eventually crawl to an unplayable lagfest - this is still true even on today's hardware.
I am not and you shouldn't rely on Wikipedia.

The IRGC is completely separate from the Iranian Military.

It is not bound to by the Iranian constitution, it is not bound to protect Iran but rather to protect the Islamic Republic, which is a completely separate entity.

The IRGC do not swear to protect the people of Iran but rather the ayatollahs.

They also do not share the same command structure exactly, the Iranian Army chief of staff is Abdolrahim Mousavi not Khamenei.

The Quds Force is also unique within the IRGC they do not report through the IRGC chain of command, hence Hossein Salami has no authority over Quds, but rather they report directly to Khamenei.
Yeah, it took six or seven years from when I was created to when I could compute the square root of 900, and that’s considered prodigiously fast.
>> females view their own race as too inferior and too weak to date

Facepalm. Even a moderately good looking Asian female (and there are lots of them) would not have any problems finding good dates IMO, especially among well-to-do tech types.

Though this is typical: people are afraid of things and they absolve themselves of the potential failure by not even trying, because it's very easy to convince yourself that you're "disadvantaged", even if in reality the opposite is true.
You can't expect people to fork every week to a new network. This is at best a one time deal, and if it doesn't work, that's it.
Indeed. It would be nice to read an article about NN introspection/debuggers. I don't see why you couldn't use an introspected ML model as the basis for a behavior tree in some cases.
How many emails do you have showing this issue?
I just think there's more going on than merely kicking back at the US. They're even cracking down on protestors inside Iran.

What’s your definition of radicalized? Naxalite? JNU? SIMI?
Honestly the more I read I find this attitude to be exactly the opposite of how I feel. When I'm trying to read a book, I need to be immersed in it. I don't want it to be a mindless distraction, because I am putting 100% of my focus into driving, or cleaning, or yard work. Driving perhaps is the one that gets me the most, I can't appreciate fiction at all while driving because I have to keep my imagination in check so I don't kill someone veering off into space. And non-fiction, well, I have never been able to digest hard topics if I'm distracted by wistful activities.

I thought it was a breezy read with a simple thesis. I don't know why such a thing should be discouraged.
The thing that makes me most optimistic is the IPCC is highly confident that if we switch from fossil fuels, within 10-20 years the man made part of global warming will end.

In just 20 years my state has moved from 70% coal - 30% natgas power to 25% coal, 50% natgas, 25% wind. In maybe a decade the only CO2 my state will be producing of any significance will be from automobiles, which look to be on the verge of being replaced by electric in at most 2 decades. Granted my state in the US has likely moved the fastest on this.

It is hard to believe that given just our current level of progress, that the world won't have drastically cut CO2 by 2050.
I have read a lot saying that in many countries population is imploding, indicating that the overpopulation fears may be dated.

> Lastly, would you openly say that racism is higher today than say 50 years ago? Of course not, and yet by looking at the metrics of unemployment or family stability, things are worse.

I would openly say that on the things that really matter, racism today is no better than 50 years ago. It's just had 50 years in between for the negative effects to continue compounding.
Yes, the model should work with any "new or old" data and also any "type".

Data from any products, services, commodities or measurable force / energy.

The model will need "adjustments" from time to time but the core will stay intact indefinitly.
It's still an interesting table. I was surprised that Java is 10x faster than Python. I would have expected initializing the JVM would be similarly complex to initializing the Python Interpreter.
> "A good author can completely encode an entire world full of people on 300 pages of black and white text. And when they do it well, it literally never expires. "

that is quite similar to how I view it also.

The problem is that what is required to do will annoy everyone, no matter the angle. Withdrawal from abusive consumerism is going to be ugly, that's the issue, but it's necessary.

A green dictatorship would signal that everyone is given equal treatment. It's also an emergency measure.

Of course the word "dictatorship" has a very bad connotation here, because it implies oppression and violation of human rights, but that's not what I am advocating.

I am advocating for the revocation of the right to emit co2. It is a very strong restriction when look around you, because consumers are really friendly towards their lifestyle which directly finance lobbying efforts to avoid a carbon tax.

What is needed to do, while the industry adapt, is to allow the minimum, necessary items people needs to live: food, water, hygiene, shelter etc. while diminishing co2 emissions to their most lowest possible, and let industry to work without emissions to gradually change their process.

You cannot trust the industry to reduce emissions and do a slow switch because it's going to be too slow, and you cannot trust liberalism to find quick solutions if there is no strong enough incentives. Lobbies are never going to let change happen. It's going to be too slow and chaotic, not to mention fraud and people who will disagree with human responsibility.

Look at Tocqueville. Democracy is great, but when there is urgency about a complicated problem, democracy can be a problem.
I really enjoy your articles on Towards Data Science and this seems to pull a lot from it. I bought the PDF copy. I have a Full Stack background and really like it all from the data engineering perspective

Thanks!
For this technique you generally dedicate some core(s) to those miscellaneous threads and flag the rest as unscheduable unless a thread is specifically assigned to them.

If you’re not sharing cores between VMs it’s typical to do the same at the hypervisor layer.
Another great article from Troy. I personally believe that Google is intentionally flagging their ad network to ensure a large majority of the 'web' and subsequent developers are made aware of the impending changes. However, the console does not make it clear that we're talking about a change that is being implemented in less than a month.
IIRC the mov imm, %ecx; rep nop sequences are somewhat special cased by modern architectures (and this fact is the only reason why you even would want to execute such code). On the other hand the energy savings are mostly negligible and it is simply an SMT-level equivalent of sched_yield()
Robin Williams and Steve Martin Starred in Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot
I cant agree with this article. Ive been a solo consultant for 5 years now. Here are my takeaways-

-Maintain good relationships with anyone that can give you work. Most of the time you will ping pong between vendors for work.

-Don't be afraid to build in "bench" time into your hourly rate. The rates listed in this article are much lower than I would recommend. I target 85% utilized in my personal model. I work in a niche and will not consider less than 150/hr for anything less than a 12 month contract.

-Remember that despite the best of relationships and intents, contractors are expendable. You can and will get let go before employees. That is not a bad thing. In fact, its a gift. You get to leave before morale and expectations get too far out of control.

-Do put rainy day money away into fungible assets. Savings accounts probably aren't great for that.

-Do try to have multiple clients at once, if you can swing 2 full time gigs, most of the time this can be juggled in the short term.

-If you get told you are rolling off, don't take it personal. I have the hardest time with this part of it. It is my nature to give my all when I am at a gig. When the let me go, I feel that it is an affront or personal. Its not, its business. If you do this, you will make more than many high level executive salaries. That doesn't count the equity side but making 2-400k a year is a real possibility.

-When its time to leave you will know. The biggest upside I see in consulting is I have the freedom to leave when I cant deal with the bullshit anymore.
-Every company has bullshit you will grow tired of. Honeymoon periods last 3-24 months, but there will always be bs.
Unless there is a self-modifying feedback loop you can indeed replace any ML model with a hash function. The problem is one of size rather than any fundamental limitation of a look-up table.
Reliability work is unfortunately under-observed and under-valued... until its absence triggers an incident.

Some positives of books:

Books are widely vetted but it is difficult to find quality online content. Books work your long form attention but much online content is self contained and shallow.
Is it?

I'd be interested to see benchmarks showing that spinlocks with CAS have similar throughput to a ringbuffer with atomic increment.

Note that with the ringbuffer approach, each reader can process many slots at once, since you're taking the minimum of all published slot numbers. If you last processed slot 3, and the minimum publish count is 9, you can process slot 4 through 9 without doing any atomic operations at all. The design guarantees safety with no extra work.

It's not a minor trick; it's one of the main reasons throughput is orders of magnitude higher.

Benchmarks: https://github.com/LMAX-Exchange/disruptor/wiki/Performance-...

Beyond that, the ringbuffer approach also solves the problem you'll always run into: if you use a queue, you have to decide the max size of the queue. It's very hard to use all available resources without allocating too much and swapping to disk, which murders performance. Real systems with queues have memory usage patterns that tend to fluctuate by tens of GB, whereas a fixed-size ringbuffer avoids the problem.

I don’t doubt the bird population has declined. But the stat cited above doesn’t convey any information about the decline.

If you have 30 wild birds in your property and you setup a barn with 70 industrial meat birds inside, you did not necessarily obliterate the wild population.
Shouldn't this fall into the "trust by verify" category of things?

Whilst your model may not be able to explain to you today why it can operate on future data, if it can explain to you why it works on any data you've already given it, it makes it easier to explain behaviour.

You have to trust it on new data.

You can always verify why it made the choices it did on old data.

That seems like something incredibly helpful, to me.
Of course humans will survive, but what about our civilization? That seems less likely.

I also fear the "natural correction" will be violent, painful, and potentially apocalyptic in scale. Watching everything we built crumble, watching our children suffer, etc, would be horrific. We have to do something.
Uh, yeah you can. Hash functions handle data its never seen before.
If the whole world used Japanese farming techniques, we could easily cut land use in half. It's quite possible to use far less land, it's just not a priority to most people to pay more for food.
Saying it doesn't make it true. There is nothing principled about it - a pure hack around the borrow checker. It seems to be one of the most unprincipled ways - more like casting away const in c++

And I know what unsafe pointers are, but the special keyword would allow the compiler to understand more about the code's intentions.

edit: I take that back. It seems worse. It would as if there was a way to get rid of const by a series of assignments without ever having to explicitly cast it away.
Your points would be more believable if you supported them with reliable sources.

For example, this says that there is an ethnicity wage gap: https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwor...

Figure Four of that link (which allows you to clicky to remove different groups) clearly shows that "White British" have a higher median hourly rate than "Black, African, Caribbean, or Black British".

The picture for university attendance is a lot more complex. Prestigious universities are not accepting black students: https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/russell-group-univ...

And black students appear to drop out of university at higher rates, partially because of the racism they face.

The UK has a serious problem with racism.

We're currently at +90 million people per year. The UN predicts that to drop by around 1 million people per year [1], which would mean the total population is still increasing for another 90 years.

It should be no surprise to users of CPython and Ruby that those languages have a lot of startup code. The details of what that code is doing are already evident if you're watching it happen in an strace log, but those bits were left out. This isn't art, it's details, and without the details, it's just preaching to the choir. No new readers are going to be convinced.
a VM can cost far less then $5 a month to run, depending if your bussiness is large enough and can run (or have it run for you) its infra properly.

I once did some simple estimation of a cost of a VM inside our own infrastructure, and the costs was something around a euro or less.

A single, modern server can hosts a crapton of VM's, especially if you have a competent operations team inside your bussiness who builds tooling for it.
I interpret the credit limit label right below to be the label if the progress bar.
Cowardice. What we have works, and the only time it gets broken is by 'upgrades'.
I got advice on reading long time ago that helped me a lot: "Start reading what you like until you start liking to read". And yes, books are the best source of any information that has to be digested by you. Its very personal journey not biased by other who might digested this for you (like blogs or podcasts). Its important to learn how to understand and digest things rather than consume and reproduce thoughts of others.
Actually I heard that the last few generations of intel (from skylake) enter power state mode more aggressively with pause and the latency of getting out of a pause went up from tens of cycles to hundreds. No first hand testing though.

It's 2020, and the climate of Britain is not "Siberian" by any stretch of the imagination.

Reading these lines makes my blood boil:

"Disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life,' concludes the Pentagon analysis. 'Once again, warfare would define human life.'"

This is a report by a military complex that has waged endless wars in the last 20 years. And they're steadily working towards a new major war right now. We don't talk about that on HN, but please spare me their reports about how climate change will cause as many deaths as their willfully engineered on false pretexts wars.

Everything you need to know-

> This fire alert system worked exactly like it was supposed to work. A fire alarm was activated and a guard was sent to check it out. However, he was sent to the wrong location. This was because the alarm message was not correctly interpreted by the employee monitoring the system. He was very new to the job – it was his third day. Also, he had already worked an eight-hour shift but was staying on for an additional shift after his relief did not show up for work. And the system itself was difficult to interpret. The messaging provided was not intuitive. This resulted in a delay of nearly 30 minutes. In that time, the fire rapidly spread uncontrollably through the attic.
Mostly it's not the clever code that is the problem, but the way people tend to use it. Instead of covering that clever piece code in a structure with an easy-to-understand interface and a lot of documentation explaining what things allow this to work properly, it's left without any clues what it is and how it works. Essentially a puzzle in the middle of code base to solve for everyone reading.
1. Amazon and Facebook are broken up in anti-monopoly cases

5. Farming becomes increasingly automated and efficient. Robots and huge amounts of data revolutionize our growing capabilities
6. Fewer coding languages will be around, coding will be introduced as required subject in schools - JS, Python, Golang

8. Population growth stalls in western world causing huge concerns about future aging populations

9. Nuclear becomes main source of energy (more efficient and affordable), close to solving fusion but still not quite there

10. American mass shootings become increasingly common, gun control still hasn’t happened

11. Mental health in gen z as they grow up becomes such an issue that social media becomes heavily regulated

12. Flexible working is at its peak, there is a move away from main economic urban areas towards more lifestyle focused towns.
