I wasn't speaking against paying moderators, just saying that even voluntary moderation would be better than the status quo for a lot of communities (it's insane how much work people will give for free in exchange for some random internet points, see Stack Exchange for an example).

There are a lot of people out there who would be happy to work for free to help their community out; forums used to work like that before being made mostly irrelevant by the social media garbage. If you consider that a problem then it's not for you and that's okay. (I wouldn't do it full time either now that I have a job, but back in my teenage years I had lots of free time that I was happy to donate for free, and indeed my Stack Exchange account's reputation - useless internet points - is a testimony to that.)

Paying people means the company needs to put in a significant amount of resources (technical, legal and staff) to manage that, something companies might not want to invest in (at least not right now). Random internet points is at least a stop-gap solution to let the community manage moderation without much investment nor management from the company, and would definitely be a good upgrade from the status-quo.

As a counterpoint, for people having their community's best interests at heard, being paid might actually be a downgrade. I contributed to Stack Exchange years ago for free because I liked to help people and help the community I was part of. I did so on my own time and terms. Being paid would've meant I now had a duty to do it and I couldn't for example decide that I wasn't in the mood to contribute one evening because it was now a job. The other issue is that being paid means you have the company's best interests at heart instead of the community, and those might not align. It's easy to break rules or "look the other way" for the sake of the community when you're a volunteer, less so when your paycheck depends on it.
That is assuming that both sides have them. That is not likely unless we see the major superpowers going to war with each other, and I don't see that happening.

IPSec is lower CPU and higher throughput on the ER-X compared to OpenVPN, but the device is also capable of running wireguard, with the right firmware. And WG will beat IPSec hands-down, at least in the benchmarks I’ve seen.

For me, the bigger concern is that the configurations for WG on the ER-X are still pretty beta, as is connecting to any WG server on the other side that you didn’t build yourself. Service provider support for WG is limited and the configuration management there is still quite clunky.
Isn't it what word2vec does? The algorithm gives vectors to words in such way that words appearing in similar contexts have similar vectors. I guess new deep networks give even better results.

Unsupervised methods like w2v look more scalable than hand made ontologies. Maybe ontologies help refine the result of word embeddings in this case?
The (MFi?) authentication prevents you from making your own carpc compatible with carplay because of encryption, there are efforts to break it (extract key) but AFAIK none of the public ones have succeeded so far
Well, on e.g. x86 you have "rep stos" instruction which pretty much amounts to memset in HW.

The operation needs to be blocking otherwise you could of course do it without CPU at all (DMA). But you still have to go through the memory controller and actually write each word of memory.
All so incredibly relatable... thank you for sharing your experience.

I have pretty much 1:1 the same struggle and it was (is?) starting to knock my confidence - wondering if I’m just a bad developer for not “getting” it.

I often put off development tasks because I know it will all move at a snails pace trying to drudge through endless magic, having no idea where any of it comes from, getting very little back from Google, and giving up.
“Dropped dead” is, if you ask me, a disrespectful term

After doing this sort of thing (except using mostly Ruby or Python apps) for years, then evolved to running a bunch of lightweight containerised services about 6 or so years ago and these days I mostly opt for deploying using Google Cloud Run, far less hassle, less maintenance, a significantly reduced (security) footprint and absolutely minimal cost, someone else recently wrote a good intro blogpost about their experiences with it: https://alexolivier.me/posts/deploy-container-stateless-chea...

I have done this several times. You situate yourself in places where you will meet a bunch of other people and aggressively socialize (as in pushing yourself to go out and mingle with strangers even though it's a lot of work, not force your way into conversations).

You'll have to introduce yourself over and over and of course the basic questions are where you were, why you left, and why you came to where you are. You have to do this often enough that it sort of becomes like a pitch that you need to refine to avoid boring others or exhausting yourself, so it's a good time to decide how you want to appear and basically redesign your life to the extent that you feel like doing that.

A downside from the economic point of view is your lack of an existing network, but then again you'll also be open to opportunities you might not have considered otherwise, and you'll also be the New Interesting Person for everyone you meet. If you can tell interesting stories about where you've been or what you've noticed in where you just arrived (without making them all about you), and are in turn good at asking questions and actively listening, then doors will open up for you.

Pay attention to appearances and think about yours (what you want it to be and how much work that will take to maintain) as it will have a big impact on your encounters and subsequent experience.
Trusting my "personal knowledge" to a proprietary tool seems like a fundamentally bad idea to me, and no amount of clever features is going to fix that.

Well, the Uber cab sector is going pretty good in India from what I know. We don't have Grab here, and only a few local competitors which people don't rely on much (apart from Ola Cabs).
I work as a data engineer, and i was interested in learning some of the stuff our data scientists do so i can better communicate with them. Teaching myself some statistics was fine, probability was fine too and quite fun and surprising. Both subjects have plenty of books that allow you to understand the intuition behind the things they do without having to dive deep into the proofs. Linear algebra was and still is a struggle though. I've sampled many books, from Strang's book to Linear Algebra Done Wrong/Right to some books that are used in the local university in CS courses. But they are all the same. It's clear they are all written by mathematicians for math students, probably to be used as a way to teach students how to write proofs at the same time? It's just one page after another of increasingly esoteric calculations and proof after proof after proof. Which is fine if you study math, but bad for me, because i dont want to work out the proof that taking the determinant of an inverted matrix works, i want to know what it means and why one would want to make the effort to do it.

Basically, i want a book like Statistical Rethinking or Blitzstein's Introduction to Probaiblity, but for linear algebra. And i havent been able to find it.

Perhaps it’s fairer to say a lot of my struggle so far is with a Ruby on Rails project.

I’ve had less exposure to Ruby without the Rails part, and maybe it’s regrettable that’s the case.

I’ve used frameworks in other languages and mostly always been able to dig back to the original source of things but I’ve not had such a positive experience with Rails and any of the IDEs out there.
I try hard not to give my data to Google, for a lot of reasons. As a patient, having my healthcare provider hand my data over for them to monetize in God-knows-what ways is...undesirable.

I guess it is about asyncing to a different isolate+thread, not multithreading a single one. Locking issues do not go away just because it is javascript, rust and 2020.
I feel like Google is an everything company. Traditionally EHR has been done via enterprise and connections, but it doesn’t mean google can’t change it. In fact, they could open a network of Google hospitals, and run their own software on them, or buy a big chain. Much like Amazon got WholeFoods, Google can get into the game if they choose to, and at the end of the day, if they want to grow, they will have to find more avenues to expand to.
Thanks for such a nice story :)
I appreciate your counter point completely. I would not care too much if my kids viewed some porn, but might want to keep a look out to make sure it did not turn into being only the 'forced' type that xham offers..
I think people need to see a little of everything that is out there.. but more importantly have people or groups they can go to and talk about what they have seen - and know they can research multiple sources for info about things to know effects of them.

This was not too much a concern when the main desire was club penguin and youtube... however once a large par tof net access becomes amino chats, discord chats, meme boards and the such, I think it's important to discuss some of the dangers if it's relevant (I noticed when asked to fix something on the phone that selfie's started appearing in gallery) - this could be innocent but it could also be leading to not so much

If I had a daughter she might spend all of her time only chatting with her close friends she knows in real life until college - in which case my discussions would probably not be so many 'these-bad-things-can happen' - a different situation compeltely..

I used news stories and stuff that has aired on local tc broadcasts, and some from yahoo and such - I did not dig deep for horror stories... I think the most important thing is not to flip out and remain an open line of communication no matter how terrible something could be.

So again it varies by each person... I don't think you want to wait until your kid is swatting the neighbors and showing off on 4chan to pay attention to what they are learning / engaging in online.

I also would not have a device report to me if it heard youngsters talking about sex, people should talk about that and share what they know. I would perhaps want an alert if 'plane tickets' came up or 'sneak out' or 'skip school' maybe.. then I'd want to know more surrounding, but that is now and that might be different a couple years from now.

> The LGBT community comes with it's own shackles. They assume the only natural thing is for someone to structure their whole identity and lives around what might just be a developmental phase of their youth.

People who are able to distinguish themselves through individual achievement seem much less inclined to structure their identities around race, sex and other mostly immutable charactertistics.

There's also no such thing as the LGBT community. There's only a community of LGBT people who hold similar political opinions, and whole lot of LGBT people who disagree with them.

Neutral thinking: the briefest intro ever
It is a very bad blog post.

Pushing C++ dev to make premature C-style type of optimization is counter-productive... And in this case it is even wrong microbenchmarking.

A simple switch to "-O3 -march=native" flag switch in the makefile to enable vectorization and a proper use of '\0' inverse the result make std::fill() globally faster than memset.

```

page count: 262144, volume:1024 MB

std::fill(p, p + n, '\0') : 25.9191 GB/s

memset(p,0,n) : 25.3283 GB/s

std::fill(p, p + n, '\0') : 25.6167 GB/s

memset(p,0,n) : 25.1646 GB/s

std::fill(p, p + n, '\0') : 25.8355 GB/s

memset(p,0,n) : 25.6276 GB/s

```

It would have been much more productive to describe why std::fill with '0' is slower than with '\0' ( integer vs char )
It's not a rewrite. Scott Hanselman is a very popular and well-liked evangelist in the .NET community. He's highlighting Michal's project to his large audience with several links to the original work throughout the post.
I'd love a "making of" follow-up. I would definitely be interested in a comparison of a straight-up composition without the movement, energy, or emphasis, and then adding to it in pieces to see the work come together.

Please remember, that these ontologies describe biological systems and are used as a standard for common nomenclature. It's orders of magnitudes harder to derive an ontology describing the localization of proteins in the cell by an algorithm, compared to w2v. Even then, there would be the fundamental issue that the ontology needs to be consistent over time in order to be useful.

It's probably the strongest part about the movie — it deals with perspective of immortality from a mortal's perspective in a very realistic way, which is normally thrown by the wayside for more simplier tropes in entertainment. Not that it's wrong to like that, it's just hard to find something that doesn't these days. It comes across more like a well written hard sci-fi story, yet it's mostly just a group of people talking.

It left me thinking about immortality from a normal human's perspective for a long time. He explains how it changed him, and where he started from. It's very compelling in my opinion.
1. It won't effect it. Considering that the entire current human population could fit into France or Germany at about the same density as some parts in SE Asia. Not saying this is desirable. But consider how many people could live in the entire solar system? Ultimately in intergalactic space:

2. Any neuroplasticity loss due to biological aging is itself accumulated damage which will have to be repaired as part of life extension.

3. Human evolution is now overwhelmingly the evolution not of genes but of ideas/culture/memes.

4. That's for an individual to decide. At the moment there are plenty of old people who can apparently think of no reason to live but they hide the fact. They are in effect waiting around to die. They eventually go to hospital and care home for a few years before death which entails a fair bit of suffering and costs a lot of money. This is a sad and somewhat cruel situation in my opinion.

5. I bet that the cheapest way to treat things like heart disease and cancer will turn out to be life extension technology (i.e. damage repair). So you may have to decide not to get treatment for things which are currently routinely treated by conventional means. Of course you might still fall down the stairs...
Ah, I never knew that was how it worked. Thanks! Still, it seems like there's a way it could be redesigned such that zeroing large blocks is done completely in the module and is faster, and provide an extra line for it. With the naive (and probably wrong) implementation I'm thinking, you'd get log N zeroing but bigger constant multiplier on lookup, so that would be the wrong compromise in just about every situation. Maybe you could generify it so that you could do various operations beyond just zeroing and that might be interesting? Though I'm sure this is a plenty well explored topic already, and has come up with what we have now.
I'm pretty happy about the fact that everyone has an expiration date built in. I know of very few people in power who don't start abusing their power in some way eventually.

Eventual death puts some limits on the amount of bad things one person can do.

Many organisations suffer from their geriatric leaders, who have amassed too many followers and too much power over the years. But at some point they die, and there's place for change.

Programmers "typically" use std::fill?? Where are those programmers? I've been a professional C++ programmer for a while now and I've never seen it used over standard memset, even on different platforms with different architectures and multitude of compilers.
I believe the founder mentioned that they will eventually allow you to encrypt your data.

If you do any sort of public writing, you could use it for your writing process since that info would be private eventually anyways. Or you could expand that idea and include anything which you would be okay with being public.

For example, I may not have a reason to share a snippet from an article, but I wouldn't be bothered if it became public. I may also not be bothered if notes on that snippet were shared. And maybe if I did some writing for myself for understanding a subject, then that might be fine as well.

That's pretty much how I use the app.

Interesting idea.

How would you write functions of multiple arguments as infix? Scala can get close to

myListOfInts foldLeft 0 +

which is... honestly not much more readable.

How do you resolve ambiguity when functions take optional arguments / are overloaded? Or would you not allow that?
