I know that set alarm bells off -- that the whole board looks like that. It looked like a complete appeal to influence rather than getting board members from companies that supply the military with medical.

The other narrative raising alarms was that she was a woman CEO. It is then a matter of deciding if it is just a success story that the media wants to tell, or a story being pushed for more hype. Once I (and friends/coworkers) looked at it with skepticism, there just wasn't anything of substance there.

I read a doctor saying you can't do that much with that little blood.

I love MIP. It's super useful.

I like to think that MIP is a framework that meets halfway between a natural modeling language and a natural solution language. The reason it's good is that the framework naturally lends itself to abusing linear programming as a subroutine, which can cut out a large amount of search state space. And you tend to find you can encode many problems without too much difficulty with just a handful of tricks.

You can encode a great deal into MIP. Piecewise linearized versions of non linear problems, or logical constraints.

Some interesting applications I've seen or played with:

- Verifying neural nets https://github.com/vtjeng/MIPVerify.jl

- Solving the classical Ising Model http://www.philipzucker.com/solving-the-ising-model-using-a-...

- Global Robot arm kinematics http://www.philipzucker.com/2d-robot-arm-inverse-kinematics-...

- model predictive control with collisions constraints http://www.philipzucker.com/flappy-bird-as-a-mixed-integer-p... See Russ Tedrake's group https://groups.csail.mit.edu/locomotion/pubs.shtml
This isn't to say there aren't disadvantages, too. But for advantages, specifically, I think some pros of Elixir are:

- It runs on the Erlang VM, which is (tech-wise, anyway) fairly old and battle tested. It was deliberately built for resiliency and concurrency. It has some very clever concepts, like supervision trees, cheap processes, interprocess communication via message passing (hey, sounds like OO, right?), and 0 downtime deployments built-in.

- Its creators (namely Jose Valim) come from the Ruby community, and value a lot of the same things Rubyists do: good documentation, testing, and excellent tools for package management, debugging, builds, testing, etc. Several libraries are very similar to their Ruby counterparts. E.g., Phoenix will feel very familiar to a Rails developer. Ditto, the syntax is kind of similar to Ruby. The paradigm is completely different, as Elixir is an immutable, functional programming language. But... aesthetically, they look similar-ish.
>This mostly only builds trust with fellow developers.

Trust is highly transitive for highly technical developer focused products though. The core of stripe's trust, even among non technical decision makers, is down to their killer APIs and docs.

I wonder if they ever offer tours. It would be neat to see some of this history the next time I'm passing through the Cincinnati area. On a related note, it looks like there's a "National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting" just down the street from the WLW site.
I don't think that's true. It's just that less automated pipelines have less of an expectation that new code releases are going to work in the first place. In fully traditional processes, where the release is manually built from scratch every N weeks, there's often no expectation at all - your customers just insist on a scheduled release day, and plan to spend it running around solving the problems the new release caused.
I though it was easy. Then through the years, I discover that English's inconsistencies are toughs, though.
And as a quick example of that very fact, your "everyday" (which means average, normal, not out of the ordinary) should be split into two words "every day" (which means all of the time periods which are called days).

It was booming, and it was richer than it ever had been, but it was very poor by today's standards.

Yeah I suspected this as a possibility, but do you have some kind of hard evidence on it? I do remember the case with the Nepalese restaurants last year tho, it was similar.

However, I would like to point out that this is a global phenomenon and I'd bet Finland has some of the least bad cases in this. Compare to some places like London where food is cheaper than Helsinki, but average salaries are higher. It's definitely about skirting regulations.
Given the data and evidence based posts the OP is known for, this post feels disappointingly light and anecdotal.

I had a near 1000 day streak when I had a medical procedure and was using some heavy medication. In this time, I lost my streak by 1-2 minutes. Ever since, I quit. It felt like a choir, so I was happy it was over. That said, it allowed me to learn a lot of Spanish. I also found out Spanish is a relatively easy language (while I always detested French as I found it very difficult). A while after I quit (my partner still plays it) they added annoying ads and subscription.
Ultimately, I primarily opted for the paid version of DuoLingo to support their mission of free language learning for all. The ad removal and offline use (great for planes and while traveling) were secondary reasons.
Despite the points others made (which are all very valid), using the entire European continent is not a fair comparison when considering “useable” land area. Same consideration with Canada, which is also technically larger than the USA. The far northern climates are just not appealing to mass populations generally. Take Canada for example (second largest country behind Russia), the vast majority of the population lives within 150mi of the southern border with the US.
Marburg comes to mind. First thing I think about when I meet someone from there
Performance is largely architectural for most types of software. The extreme difficulty of redesigning architecture after the software is feature complete (it approximates a rewrite) makes it a requirement that any performance and efficiency considerations be designed into the system from day one. Optimizations you can add later are always severely constrained by the kinds of optimizations the architecture allows. In most software I see, the "performance later" designs tacitly remove most possibility of macro-optimization.

Not all software needs to care about performance, but I also see a lot of large multi-server monstrosities that could easily be run simply and cleanly on a single server with capacity to spare if more thought had been put into performance and efficiency.

The spec limits ambient temperature to -44–55°C. As the low temperate range of the regular Pis was the major limiting factor for use in industrial applications (0–50), is there some module that goes further? Think of devices deployed in a street cabinet in summer heat f.ex., those have to endure much higher temps.
AM broadcast travels a long way not because it tends to reflect off the atmosphere (skywave propagation), but because it tends to hug the earth (groundwave propagation).
There's a kernel module called piControl (source code is on GitHub) which periodically polls the I/O modules. The values written to the outputs are taken from a memory area called the "process image". Values read from inputs are stored in that same memory area. User space accesses the memory area via regular open/read/write/close system calls. Plus there's a bunch of ioctls to perform special actions such as firmware updates on the I/O modules.

You may use whatever language you prefer. There's a Python module called RevPiModIO, authored by a member of the Revolution Pi community, Sven Sager:

I think you're glossing over an important phrase in your quote: "to master". English is relatively straightforward to learn to a good enough level where everyone can understand you. Mastering English is being really good at internalizing the inconsistencies of the language, of which there are plenty.

Most recent one I encountered was a non-native speaker on a comment thread saying "childs" instead of "children", and there's really no general rule about english grammar that would indicate "ren" being the pluralizing qualifier here. You just have to memorize these things.

How do you pronounce "read"? That depends on if you interpreted the word as past tense or present tense. How do you pronounce "lead"? That depends on if you interpreted the word as the heavy metal or the verb meaning taking charge of an effort. The "o" in lose sounds exactly like the one in choose, but the "o" in loose sounds nothing like the one in chose.

The problem is, as so often, the system.

I think people are mostly able to tell because they are told "this is a deepfake video of arnold schwarzenegger" (and the technology is early). Now imagine someone deepfakes a video of a gathering of people taken from across the room. It purportely shows a politician talking to some constituents and espousing some whacky ideas. It gets posted and before the politician can address it, it's already gone viral and there are pitchforks at their door. The video quality issues are hidden by the fact that it is a grainy cell phone video in a dimmly lit room with digital zoom enabled.
this is probably the one thing going viral that silicon valley is not happy about

English is really difficult with all the inconsistencies in grammar and pronunciation. However a lot of people learn it “easily” because a lot of the media around us is in english.

If the media around us would be, let’s say Spanish, i’d think a lot of people would learn it faster than english.
You can do that on Android too. I believe you can also do things like "mute subsequent notifications from a particular app if they come in at a certain rate after the first one". So for a string of messages you'd only get buzzed once.

To be fair, Android's do-not-disturb/prioritized messages system is way too complicated.
I like the site a lot. It doesn't look like most sites and it is easy to read.
That's a very valid point, but I assume the same trend would show up (though not as drastically) in the number of bathrooms per bedroom. (If not, then the article is bunk, but I assume it does.)

I'd also be interested to know the trend in the percentage of floor space given over to bathrooms, which would fuzz both the number of bathrooms and the increased bathroom size. It seems to me like a lot of space wasted, personally, although I admit it does feel nice to walk into a (rare) beautiful full-sized master bathroom.
Another strange thing to me is the ridiculous number of bedrooms in new single family homes, and the assumption that more is better.

Sites like Zillow don't even let you put an upper limit when searching. Agents can't believe you don't want a bigger place. I don't mean cheaper, I mean I don't want all those rooms and stairs. In my area, you perversely have to go to the ultra-luxe range of the market to get a high quality 2-3 bedroom single family home, while 5 bedroom new constructions are a dime a dozen. That makes no sense.
they might contain a small conveyor belt as an IO port for the paperwork for the people at the table in the center?

It's a bit more than that; there's a reason the next job cares that Docker, React, or Kubernetes are on your résumé.

If you use Docker, you get to claim that you're familiar with a framework atop a lower-level abstraction, and the lower-level abstraction is flexible to the point of incomprehensibility; few people enjoy maintaining someone else's bespoke shell script environment, and there's not much of a forcing function to cause standards to exist in that abstraction layer for doing a specific task (creating and managing deployable artifacts).

React vs. JS and Kubernetes vs. "Our previous sysadmin's solution built with hair-pulling and rage before they quit to embrace the life of the humble riverboat captain" follow the same pattern. The frameworks and toolchains listed are standards that allow someone who has solved that common business use-case at one organization to solve that use-case at another org with minimal spin-up time (vs. the time to learn bespoke solutions to do the same thing). Many people having the same problem domain to solve is how standards come to exist.
Agree with all the above, but let me put this in computer science context:

- bathrooms are a scarce resource

- usage is not evenly distributed, greatest usage is 1. in the morning and 2. when you are running late :-)

- queues form at critical moments and hold up the entire pipeline (e.g., getting ready for work, school, etc.)

The best way for you, or your potential buyer to resolve this bottleneck is to have more of the bottle-necked resource.

Software Developer: The 'Best' Job in America?
I get a number of learners on my site who have previously gone through that course and they've had good things to say about it!

Its author—Dave Thomas—also wrote prag prog's Programming Elixir book, which I found very helpful a few years ago.
Nature of Pure Mathematics Research
A very interesting language on powerful platform with a promising web framework. Many saw it, myself included, as a Ruby / Rails Improved, and expected its quick growth.

Unfortunately, initial enthusiasm a few years ago did lead to its wide adoption.

I talked with a couple of companies that jumped on it initially, but later decided to move to Java, Kotlin, Go. The main reason was difficulty to hire engineers to scale up quickly (in Europe), not some technical disappointments.

Sadly, it seems that being a scalable platform is not enough to scale up to business needs.
I think so, you need some time for it to bind to the oils.
Ask HN: Would you like an app that could help you manage multiple interests?
I am trying to validate an idea and I need your help!

I have set out to scratch my own itch and build an app that will help people manage multiple / varied interests (teach yourself Machine Learning, study Philosophy, read more in general, clean the house, fix the toilet, build a robot, run a marathon, etc) and allow you to focus and make progress on the work that matters most and at the right times.

Is this something anybody would be interested in?

I have a lot more ideas for this app, but I am trying to narrow it down to MVP and I think that the prioritization of goals is a big one.

* Do you have a lot of interests and don't know how to get started? Do you suffer from 'analysis paralysis' ?

* Which tools do you currently use to manage your life, if any? What are some of the pain points?

* How do you manage multiple interests and decide what to work on at any given time?

* Do you plan your time or fly by the seat of your pants?

I'd love to hear your feedback and I'd be happy to share more information if anybody is interested. Thanks!

They use wood because it's cheaper. They're allowed to use wood due to relatively recent code changes. Google 5 over 1 construction for more details.
The problem with old, out-of-context quotes is that they are old and out of context.

The Knuth quote is from 1974 and is preceded by the not unimportant statement that "Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs."

What is considered "noncritial" in a modern CRUD web app might not be the same as an algorithmically dense program written in assembler for a PDP-11. For example, it's going to be very difficult to optimize away the frameworks you depend on to make your app feature complete to begin with.
I think car culture is probably the biggest one. In practice, there's plenty of space to build the sort of ultra-diffuse Mcmansion-y suburbs popular in the US in some European countries, but it's just less popular as a lifestyle compromise.
I’m pretty sure the carts were quite literally write-once. Lasers would just damage the cart.
Do most bathrooms have electrical outlets right by the toilets? Mine sure don’t.
As far as functional programming languages go, I think Elixir is probably one of the best intros: especially for someone coming from another dynamically typed language like Python or PHP. The syntax will be far less foreign than a language like Lisp or Haskell. You won't have to deal with types (though they are neat to learn, too).

Elixir is not quite as popular as Go. But there are absolutely job opportunities out there. And huge projects currently using it (e.g., Discord). I wouldn't focus on needing there to be a job market to learn something new, though. You'll learn techniques and a new way of problem solving that will make you a better Python, JS, and PHP programmer, even if you never professionally work as an Elixir developer.

The Introduction guide on the Elixir website is a really good place to get started. You should be able to pick up the basics pretty quickly: https://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/introduction.html

> I don't see the real difference in complexity of maintaining 12+ bash scripts instead of the same number of Docker files.

With respect, I have to assume your experience is either in an ecosystem with really strongly-established best practices for bash (and someone with the job of enforcing said practices) or your organization has no more than two or three people maintaining those dozen-plus bash scripts (and is on its way to a headache when two of those people retire at the same time and your org tries to on-board someone new to read those scripts).
I've talked to a few people who were victims of burglaries, and the value of the stolen stuff never worried them. The violation of their home was what worried them. It messes with you when you know someone broke into your home.

> English is considered a very difficult language to master due to the inconsistencies in it, as well as the different ways you can pronounce any given letter.

This is a huge pet peeve of mine. The writer hedges this statement with the passive voice, and "master" is difficult to qualify, but generally speaking English is not a difficult language. I'll concede that phonics are a mess, but it's not riddled with more inconsistencies than most other world languages.
