I used to buy hand tools at Lowe's, Home Depot, or occasionally Autozone if it was car-related. One day I saw a search result ad for Harbor Freight. Had heard the name, never knew they were a tools shop. I've joked to friends that discovery was life-changing. (for reasons, compare prices on just about anything, a good example would be a 1.5 ton floor jack)

> Really wish they went with 8 seconds instead of 6 for the videos. I mean 1 byte = 8 bits after all.

Actually, a byte could and did have a variety of bits as they were generally hardware dependent. Generally, a byte is the smallest number of bits that a hardware can process. The most popular bytes early on were 4 bits and especially 6-bit bytes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte#6_bit

Octets ( 8 bit bytes ) became widely adopted after IBM went with octets in the 1960s and the industry basically followed and octets became so ubiquitous that byte and octet became synonyms. It's similar to how google became a synonym for internet search ( "you can just google it" ) or how coke became a synonym for soda in parts of the world.

So while it is widely accepted that a byte is 8 bits, but technically, it isn't true. Octets are 8 bits and most/all bytes in the world are octets. But it doesn't necessarily have to be so. Octets always have to be 8-bits, but a byte doesn't.

Say what you want about how bad Quora content is, Quora has the most engaging email digest I ever knew.

Every day they send me an email with some answers on topics I'm interested in, and I can't help but click on 6-8 of them from EACH email. The median CTR in any other of email digests recieved by me is zero.
GWh is the most relevant unit: the quantity of energy we need around the year. GW of nominal output is relevant for nuclear or fire-based power that can produce 24h/24 365d/year, but completely irrelevant for wind and solar that provide power only part time.

A 1GW solar plant outs 1GW once every sunny day, at noon. The rest of the day, it produces less, and nothing at all 12 hours a day. A 1GW solar plant roughly produces 3GWh a day. OTOH, a 1GW nuclear plant produces on a yearly average 800MWh every hour, every day and night. So at the end of the year your 1GW solar plant produced a grand total of 1100GWh, while your 1GW nuclear (or coal-fired, or gas-fired) power plant produced 7000GWh.

Plus your solar panel will provide energy mostly around noon, need it or not. While the nuclear (or gas, or coal) plant will provide power exactly when you need it.

Wind is even worse than solar, because production yield isn't even particularly predictable. So when wind blows, electricity goes into the grid without any consideration for the need for it. That's why its price drops to negative at times: because we don't need it. That's not because wind is wonderfully efficient or something. It's because building wind farms is a fantastic misallocation of resources. We're literally spending money for electricity worth almost nothing, and it won't ever recoup its costs.

That's why Germany, after having dumped 300 billions euros on wind farms in 20 years, stop building them altogether in 2018. At some point some accountant did the math.

> Which is why that viaduct tunnel with no underground station was so inexpensive :)

It is six times as large as each of University Link tunnels, and in fact was largest tunnel bored by a TBM in the world. But yes, it’s high cost was also a travesty. This place cannot get anything done cheaply.

> But in the interim, I'd rather use progressive taxation to fund quality of life improvements for everyone in the area - even folks that don't directly take the light rail will some benefit.

I’d rather not, but since I don’t have much choice, I’d rather have government project clear higher bar than “some benefit”. It’s easy to get “some benefit”, the question is whether benefit is commensurable to the cost, and when it comes to Seattle, the answer is usually “no”.

> I don't think it's fair to compare taxation to grocery store shopping, either - that's a strawman much like comparing a household budget to the national debt doesn't make sense in reality.

I think it’s very fair, and you don’t like it because taxation is a clear loser here.

> I'd love to see a congestion charge as well - passing more of the real cost of using a car would go a long way to exposing that the normal way of life in the USA comes with a lot of hidden costs, and I hope would shift the balance to public transit. I would love to be able to couple that with a more efficient construction cost as well - unfortunately, I don't have the answer to that.

Indeed, I’d love people to be able to build more dense places, so that people who like them can move there, instead of remaking my place in their image at my expense.

"As evidenced in prior research, as little as 40 milligrams of acetaminophen can be acutely toxic to any reptile, not just snakes."
Well, no.

The Flamanville 3 EPR nuclear reactor is a mess (and I've seen it first hand, working on one of its subsystem a few years ago). The regulations bodies, aka the ASN (Agence de Surete Nucleaire) played its role, and uncovered various issues, most worrying, defects in the reactor vessel itself (and also there was some attempt by the manufacturer to hide these defects). And it's only one of a long chain, the were others like concrete being poured without/insufficient rebar or improper composition, various welding issues on pipes or machinery. And each time, it was not some minor mishaps requiring a quick fix but a major mistake requiring undoing what was done, redoing it properly and causing months of delays.

Basically, this is an Engineering and Project Management failure. On this kind of giant projects, logistic, coordination and management is key, the design is also key (system of systems, interfaces between systems etc) and it failed spectacularly here.

From the political side, despite some calls to just stop the construction from minor parties, the commitment from the politicians to see it built has remained strong all along. And there was also a deep commitment from the French state to the Nuclear industry, with the government bailing out Areva just a few years ago.

The Finish one is not better off, with the same kind of delays. The Chinese ones are in production (after significant delays) but 1) They learn from the mistakes of the first twos 2) They have probably better experience in large projects given the past construction boom in China 3) Some issues were probably put under the carpet as the Chinese government is not exactly renowned for its openness.
I guess certain stages in the development of a monopoly do suggest themselves rather strongly.
As someone else pointed out:

> Unfun fact, Colin Kroll, one of the founders of Vine and HQ Trivia died of a heroin overdose a while ago.
I mean yes, it's a bit esoteric, but so is every other data manipulation package/language. Look at numpy, dplyr, q, spark, or even sql for similar use cases. There's no easymode way to express arbitrary data operations, especially not when you want them to be performant.

If you don't need the advanced data manipulation capabilities of tools like pandas/dplyr (and if you're using comprehensions only, you don't), there are much easier to use options like apache nifi. Horses for courses.

I like the AWS ecosystem but I wouldn't touch it for anything that doesn't pay me back for monthly rent.

I build things with consideration to platform and vendor lock ins. Kube, containers, etc have resolved many deployment issues for me. For other things like authentication, logs, database, analytics, cache, search etc. There is parse, elastic/solid, postgres, redis, logio, ackee etc

Obviously, there are still many spaces left which AWS cover but most applications don't need them. Compliance is a big hurdle for businesses which they pay for. For individuals experimenting, not so much.
To be fair, it's clearly stated in the readme:

"The performance claims only hold for small datasets, 1,000-100,000 numpy rows. Pandas perform better with larger data sets, the only functions that improve with a 1000x increase in size is rename, column drop, fillna mean, correlation matrix, value reads, and np calculations even out (np.log, np.exp as well as etc)"

My whole work consists of manipulating arrays of numbers, mostly in python. I use pandas by default, and treat numpy as a specialised tool to be brought out when the use-case necessitates. Some big things for me are a) timeseries methods that just work e.g. df.resample, b) and multi-indices with stack/unstack etc., c) best I/O of any python data library (e.g. read_csv, read_parquet, read_h5, read_sql, etc)

>Subscriptions can't replace ads, as individuals don't have nearly as much discretionary money to spend as companies have in their advertising budgets

Search ought to be a replacement. Imagine a site that makes a snapshot of other sites and then anyone can type a search request in it and follow the relevant link. That would replace ads since you get your clients for free. Just build the best electronic marketplace and everyone will visit it by themselves.

This worked to some extent and then stopped because people have what they think themselves they need, and the “commercial” part means someone pushing unnecessary crap down their throats. Losing that part is fine for everyone except these wandering commivoyagers.

Subscriptions do not work for most content makers because the content they make is consumed out of boredom instead of need.

It was high time for someone to put it in perspective and thankfully someone has. Managing to do lists or calendars are no substitute to living an authentic life.

It might help to understand from where does the stress of procrastinating originate. My hypothesis is that it comes from the procrastinator getting hung up on a "desired outcome". Procrastinator expects certain reward in lieu of his work, for instance making someone feel a certain way about them. But they realise how unlikely the exact outcome is. Inability, perceived or real, of managing with even slightly different outcomes is what causes the stress in the first place. Then later, the guilt works as double whammy for the procrastinator.

Here is where I disagree with the article. Taking first step might be a stimulant, but not a solution. It might cause further stress when it becomes clearer that the desired outcome is more unlikely. Possible solution might be to let go of desire to control the world and people who are going to be affected by the work. Building confidence in oneself, trusting others, and self awareness are the only way out.

This is a real problem, akin to how modern JITs will have diff run modes for the same code. We're overdue for pandas-without-huge-overhead.

See this thread for more on why pandas overhead adds up for real settings, and is crazy huge once you go to dask/ray/modin, and even worse, say spark: https://twitter.com/lmeyerov/status/1218093436286296069 + https://twitter.com/lmeyerov/status/1220847229537157121 . For interactive analytics apps, we want scale for bigger workloads, yet also less overhead to achieve < 100ms: ideally moving a slider will trigger lots of calcs over many widgets and their subcomponents, and the underlying stats code looks normal (e.g., df > sql > some imperative/functional lang.) Internally we write C-like buffer manips & hand-written GPU kernels & weird streaming code to achieve < 100ms wall-clock, and are trying to get tech like these up to snuff for interactive data software.

As per the JIT comment, feels like a matter of time, so happy to see this (and the pressure it creates!)
No, that is next to meaningless. Every bigger virology lab studies coronavirus, or has studied it as some point in the past. Accordingly, you will be able to find similar publications for all of them.
Especially if we break this down to working days. There are just about 200-250 per year. Could you really build a software that used to take 4 years to develop in a single day now? Even 100x would mean a years work in three days.

The thing about Quora is that I would never use it to get an answer to a question.

I only go there to read a few people's opinions on things. If you restrict yourself to those people then Quora seems ok. If a Quora link shows up in my search results -- I know it's going to be useless.

The only problem is Quora seems to aggressively promote clickbait scammers / self-promoting twits. I find myself actively logging on to Quora very rarely these days as it becomes harder and harder to repel useless content from my feed.

Just putting this excerpt from the cited paper on "Normalization of Deviance" for people who skim the comments only (I would recommend reading the whole article, this one is for once worth it IMHO):

A catastrophic negligence case that the author participated in as an expert witness involved an anesthesiologist's turning off a ventilator at the request of a surgeon who wanted to take an x-ray of the patient's abdomen (Banja, 2005, pp. 87-101). The ventilator was to be off for only a few seconds, but the anesthesiologist forgot to turn it back on, or thought he turned it back on but had not. The patient was without oxygen for a long enough time to cause her to experience global anoxia, which plunged her into a vegetative state. She never recovered, was disconnected from artificial ventilation 9 days later, and then died 2 days after that. It was later discovered that the anesthesia alarms and monitoring equipment in the operating room had been deliberately programmed to a “suspend indefinite” mode such that the anesthesiologist was not alerted to the ventilator problem. Tragically, the very instrumentality that was in place to prevent such a horror was disabled, possibly because the operating room staff found the constant beeping irritating and annoying.

...

What these disasters typically reveal is that the factors accounting for them usually had “long incubation periods, typified by rule violations, discrepant events that accumulated unnoticed, and cultural beliefs about hazards that together prevented interventions that might have staved off harmful outcomes”. Furthermore, it is especially striking how multiple rule violations and lapses can coalesce so as to enable a disaster's occurrence.
