I don't understand this about politics - what needs to be exciting? What does it mean for a politician to be boring? Even back then, I thought politicians are elected to be boring. I am ESL, is this word used differently in politics?and how was Bush exciting? Is it some flashiness he maintained? I think I misunderstand.
I think a lot of the world hasn't heard of Dhall (https://dhall-lang.org/) but could make good use of it.

It's a sensible configuration language with types. And the Haskell integration is quite good.
Spend a little time learning how to negotiate and interview. You don't have to become and expert, but there are some simple concepts that will boost your confidence tremendously. Greater confidence and negotiating skills will mean you'll never feel trapped in a job again. It will be too easy to find greener pastures.
Reading about the idea that relationality is fundamental to existence, it's hard not to think of John 1: "The Word was with God... No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known." Salvation is simple: knowing the creator, the source of existence.
This is a good point.

I would suggest the same, building something and let it pass out to the public or contributing to the existing projects that might be using the stack that you want to work with.

You learn a lot when you share your own work to others. Good life lessons or maybe career lessons are often learned when sharing something.

True, though I was more thinking of the computing context, where what went before might have been a VT100 or 52, maybe a Wyse or IBM.
It totally makes sense that video games are good for cognition - reaction training, problem solving. BUT, when you are younger, your body can take a hit if you abuse it.

Younger people binge-drink and watch Netlfix for hours, and can still be sharp and fit. But then activities become much more important after 30, as you've drained the gift of genes and youth.

I bet there is not a lot of info on the results of 70-year-olds playing half-life :)

Either way, I always skeptically view these studies that take two random things and tell you that they somehow directly relate to each other. Especially with humans, where the number of variables at play is nearly infinite.

Ah, I'm talking about the landing page. Sorry, I should have been more clear. If it's not something that you can easily reproduce on your end (see this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21960897 ) let me know, I can send you more details about what I'm using.

> Re:spelling, plural of proper nouns should use apostrophes I think, no?

Someone's already answered this -- I'm just chiming in to let you know that this is an extraordinary common error, even among native speakers. I have literally seen C-level executives making it in their emails, and I'm sure it wasn't a typo or something because they didn't get a single damn plural right. So don't feel bad about it. If you're not a native speaker and learned English by yourself, you've likely picked it up from someone who is :-).

(FWIW, I'm not a native speaker, either, I just had really good teachers.)

> I’m not sure if making those proper nouns was the right choice, I wanted to highlight that they were terms in the app.

I don't think that's too big a problem :). I'm fairly sure it's not correct (I don't think they're proper nouns, just like class, object or channel, all of which have specific meanings in the context of one technology or another). But the English language does have a tradition of weird capitalization, and capitalizing them doesn't change anything in terms of meaning. It's not the same as using a possessive form instead of a plural form.

Where the 70ies doomsayers were wrong was the lack of anticipating those pyramid schemes, and their superficial covering up of bad things 'gonna happen.

Politics has become entertainment. It's like a reality show where contestants gradually get kicked off.

In one election someone even proposed a litmus test "who would you rather have a beer with?". In other it's been "who would you invite into your home". Neither are ever going to happen, but it's easier to tug at people's emotions than get them to listen to information.

You can, but it requires special architecture for the application. The cpuset can be used to disable scheduler use of the core and then you can pin application threads to cores, single thread per core.

Only then it makes sense tu use spin locks.

Abstract or "executive summary" is the paragraph right under the title that does this in everything I wrote for the exact purpose to give someone the opportunity to see whether this is his/her go-to document for a purpose or note. I always like to add/read the ToC, that is also a quick read to see if this doc is what I am/people are looking for.
Well intentioned effort for sure, and it looks useful enough that I will probably give it a try. But unfortunately the problem is not with individuals who might use this; the problem is with the masses of other voters who will still easily be manipulated by targeted messaging tailored to their personality.

Yes this tool makes that targeting and tailoring more difficult for one person at a time, but I suspect this is not enough to overcome the larger effects of the masses.

I wonder (does anyone know?) are there other efforts out there that take an approach that does not rely on the highly unusual case of the individual user taking the initiative?
I recently installed Ubuntu 19.10 on my Thinkpad and one of the first things I noticed was how bad battery life was. If this tool can help, it'll be a godsend.
Even though it’s extremely promising, I think it’s too early to start learning it, as you won’t be able to use in production for the next couple years because of the lack of backward compatibility.
This over-simplifies the nuance. Each business is a little different and it is useful to see exactly how and what is being done. It’s like hiring a business consultant and they tell you a bunch of “obvious” things you are not doing. But you start doing them and your business improves. Maybe you learned something along the way.
> Even when people make decisions, they're generally a weighted combination of a bunch of "feelings". We attempt to explain a kind of simple, logical rationalization afterwards, but psychologists have shown that this is often a bunch of post-hoc fiction.

Does it matter? If a brain counstructs post-hoc argument for given decision and the argument is defensible against other arguments, then the argument itself is good enough substantiation of the decision, even if it is different from the actual decision process.

Nitpick about the leetcode description of the problem:

Classes of drugs, yes.

Once a novel compound is discovered, and the mechanism characterized, tweaking it to get better binding affinity for the affected binding site, or reduced affinity to a side-effect-producing site, is tractable and is practiced in industry and research.
>No amount of white-boxing or model transparency will get around this trilemma. The sooner the industry comes to grips with it and learns to explicitly wield it when required, the better.

Agreed. The optima of multiple criterion will essentially never intersect.

But for Amazon, there is no evidence the tool was accurately selecting the best candidates. They themselves never said it was. After all, altering word choices in a trivial way dramatically affects ranking. On the points you mention, why should we assume their data was relevant or their fitness function even doing what they thought? If they were naive enough, they could just be building something that predicts what the staff of an e-commerce monopoly in a parallel universe will look like.

The most likely story is that they failed at what they were doing. Part of that failure happened to be controversial and so got unwanted attention. I would guess there were quite a few incredible correlations the tool "discovered" that did not get to press.

At any rate, their recommendation engine is more important and has been worked on longer yet it is conspicuously flawed. When their recommendation tool inspires awe then maybe we could take their recruiting engine seriously enough to imagine it has found deep socio-psychological-genetic secrets.
> it's almost like I've been using only 10% of my mental capacity for work (the rest was on dating/dealing with breakups/dealing with depression/gaming/...)

I think that could give an indication of what might be wrong here, I can relate (somewhat!). I work for a top-flight tech firm, straight out of school, for about 5 years or so, and for a long time I felt just like that: I focused for a very long time on achieving the next goal - passing an exam, getting into University, getting that job, and not really focusing on what that was all for, not really focusing on my personal life etc. Once I got my job I was like “what is all of this for?”

So I changed tack, I rotated positions at my job, I tried to “live with purpose”, do something with a super-high impact, and not put myself under such relentless pressure to succeed. It may not feel like you have a super-high impact, but I’d say you do - the services you run help to improve literally millions of people’s lives. Try to think about it like that, instead of “I’m not living up to my potential”, think about the enormous impact you already have. If you just don’t find the work interesting, talk to your manager about the possibility of a secondment to another team.

I’d also advise that relationships are hard, and it is OK to feel miserable when they end. But one thing I only realised recently is that if your misery extends by more than a two months, it could be indicative that you need to see a doctor. Depression is a terrible condition that’s still (IMO unfairly) stigmatised and it’s often hard to disentangle from the rest of what goes on, but it is not a weakness to admit that we all need some help sometimes. If you need an impartial but sympathetic ear, you can find my email in my profile. Good luck! :D
> There is no Kernel API for userspace as official supported NDK API. If you call any Linux API you are the one to blame if anything changes, even across devices.

Yeah, I never said that you should directly access the kernel API using the NDK (however you can actually). I said that just the fact that the NDK is compiled to native code means that the code depends on the Linux kernel, and changing the kernel would mean, at minimum, a recompilation. Android NDK only guarantees an API, not a ABI, and those two things are very different.

So no, it is not like changing the kernel would have zero impact in Android game market. It would actually have a huge impact, since almost every game would stop working until being recompiled (games that does not use the NDK would probably be fine, however few games are not native). And of course, for backwards compatibility purposes you would need to have multiple binaries (however this is already true nowadays since Android support multiple architectures outside ARM).

> No it hasn't the biggest gamming userbase, as proven on a market analysis report I just posted.

I never said it was the biggest gamming userbase, I said it was the biggest userbase. Even if Android doesn't have the biggest gamming userbase, just for the fact that that you have a big userbase as big as Android have means people will develop games for you.
Yeah, Google's SSO is fine unless the first logged-in account (/u/0) is one with a redirect to a company portal login. At which point you have to manipulate the URL to get to a different account.
Your suggestions seem a little over the place. I suggest focusing on a single language instead.

Personally I would advise you to learn Rust and learn it well. Forget wasting your time on ”hottest tech”, Rust is here to stay and will be used for decades to come. The official Rust (git)book is a great resource to get started.

If you want to build for the web, learn React or Vue as well (but probably not both).
It is 4 and a half minutes of an incredibly ripped guy explaining that standing toe touches usually isn't stretching what you think it does and is often achieved by putting other body parts in positions that are not beneficial -- eg, rounding your back.

How do you recommend someone keep up on new (or existing) RFC’s?
Obviously there is a considerable wealth gap among different demographics. But if you compare a poor black neighborhood with a poor white trailer park, there won't be much of a difference. If you compare that poor neighborhood or trailer park with a rich white gated community, you're not really saying much that isn't already known. How do we know the people who conducted the study didn't purposefully do the latter?
I received "Zone of Control" for Christmas, as it had long since been on my wishlist. I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far. It's a great compilation of articles on the whole gamut of wargaming, from the creation of games like Starfleet Battles and the history of Avalon Hill, to statistical modeling and design, real-world use, and insights on their impact and usefulness. It's both deep and broad in it's scope and hugely insightful. I can't recommend it enough.

Edit: This is one of the books mentioned in the article.
Even weirder, it calls LSTM a "newly invented variant" of RNN. LSTM is 20 years old.

Yeah, no. The ad model driven by broken financial incentives and broken browsers that leak privacy everywhere is what broke the web. Fixing those incentives and fixing the browser fixes the actual problem.

Free content still costs money to host. If I can't write about cool programming or science projects for free, like having my hosting paid by ads, I very likely won't write it at all, and the web would be all the poorer for it if everyone in similar shoes reaches the same logical conclusion.

That is a really good idea. Sadly, RISC-V is an ultra ultra conservative design bereft, nay avoiding anything resembling an idea.

I believe that an element of your idea is done in modern x86 microarchitectures. I was having an argument on LLVMdev about a peephole optimization and partial register update stalls. Eventually one of the Intel compiler people popped in on the thread and settled the argument, saying:

Regarding the partial EFLAGS write, modern OOO processors independently rename the carry flag, et al, so this is no longer a problem.
You'll probably get a lot more benefit from just pulling up powertop and fixing whatever dumb thing is eating your battery.

This is one if the best writings on climate crisis I’ve read recently. To add my two cents

"I am a pessimist by nature. Many people can only keep on fighting when they expect to win. I'm not like that, I always expect to lose. I fight anyway, and sometimes I win."

-- Richard Stallman

You haven't been spending too much time with COOs, CAE, CCOs, and other Cxx's. They need the executive summary (pre-summarization).

Some of the C-folk like:
-single line (title)
-one liner (more than 5 words but less than 20 words)
-short paragraph (2-4 lines)
-perhaps a RAG or something visual that will show sentiment (if/where appropriate)

and they won't read past that.

So when (I) write documentation/report/what-have-you I need to make one document for all audiences, the Cxx with 1-minute to spend and the actual target/doer that will spend X-days following up the darn thing.

Yeah, I know it's a mess. With the exception of updating the calls to the inspector just now (in case anybody tried to build it), it's just as I last left it a few years ago - with the proverbial hood open, subsystems not really working, and parts lying all over the floor.
Hey God bless you, me too! If there is anything inspiring about watching David Attenborough films, other than our gorgeous Earth, it is that nature has the processes to recover.

> The P in pthread is the P from Posix which stands for portable.

What’s your point here? Posix is portable across posix compliant systems, it is not portable beyond that.

There are many systems that are posix, but Rust targets more than that.
You're also much, much better off figuring out how to structure your many threads so they interact as little as possible than trying to make them interact quickly, performance-wise.
> "The are no "rights" but what the law/constitution/etc gives people."

you have this exactly backwards, at least as it relates to the US constitution.

human rights are intrinsic and inalienable. the constitution only lays out the limited ways we intentionally and cooperatively delegate certain powers to the government for our common good. the government does not bestow any rights upon us.

the bill of rights simply enumerates our inalienable rights as a way of reminding us and governments not to even think about trampling on them. they exist regardless of the enumeration.
