Ah, what you mean by "is" gets tricky.

You might literally interpret this as "is internal monologue a form of thought" and the answer is clearly yes, on sum logical level, it's brain activity.

You might literally interpret this as "is internal monologue the ONLY form of thought you have" and the answer seems just as clearly no and the question seems simplistic.

But I think people who say that usually mean "is internal monologue the primary-in-some-way form of thought you have" and there the debate gets heated but if you reveal statement, you reveal the confusion is mostly in debating "what's primary in brain activity". But if you think about, lot of debates about human thought is about which part is primary in a fashion we can intuitively feel.
The point that 600Mhz has greater distance/range than the higher frequency 4G signals is still correct, despite the miss on whether it's VHF.

HKU experts: Tens of thousands likely infected with coronavirus now
I'm a huge Mac fanboy, but APFS really kicks me in the teeth sometimes. Aside from things like snapshots, clones, etc. not being accessible to users (well, not really), or being able to create subvolumes at specific mount points which forget those mount points next reboot, it had an extremely strange behavior (possibly relating to snapshots/CoW?) where once it was full, it stayed full forever until you rebooted.

Basically, any time a runaway process filled my disk, I just had to hard-reboot and hope I didn't have any unsaved work or state that I needed to preserve.

Really makes me hope that Apple is going to further extend APFS to not just be baby's first CoW volume-management filesystem.
Nothing at stake is never truly nothing at stake, but I've always considered "nothing at stake" not really a problem that's unfixable.
Mr. Peanut’s Death, Explained
In my city the buses do have bike racks, and people use them pretty frequently for road / town bikes.

A cross country or downhill bike doesn't fit on the rack though. Longer wheelbases, wider tires and wider handlebars make it very difficult or impossible to rack or bring inside (if the driver even allows it, usually not the case unless the bus is very empty).

The trains here have front wheel hooks, dedicated spots and more space, which is better. The size of XC and DH bikes still makes it a hassle though, and obviously you're limited to spots near the train stops.
My biggest complaint with any of these mobile devices is that you can’t write any software for them, using the device itself. This is regressive and I also think it impedes the growth of technology. Maybe this is what companies like Apple want. Not a much larger pie but the largest portion of a much smaller pie.
yes, but how cool would that be?
Honestly, there's nothing about 5G that actually excites me. Almost all of the hype I've seen about the benefits of 5G is just that -- hype.

The Big Win of 5G is that it can increase load-carrying capacity of the cell system, so if you live in an area where the cell system is frequently overloaded, then you should see an increase in quality. Outside of that, though, I'm not feeling it.
That is a commonly used technique actually and one to throw off the scent of false attribution. Although no evidence is cited in the article and all the nebulous case is built on anonymous sources.

The last disastrous piece on the alleged hack of firmware at AWS and Apple by the Chinese was built on anonymous sources as well and the cyberhacking article was not retracted or apologized by Bloomberg.

Time will not be forgiving to the authors of this article.

Maybe Reuters has article quotas on cyberattacks per month and it’s close to the end of the month and they need to fill it somehow. It’s the journalistic equivalent of being pulled over by cops for no reason towards the end of the month so they can issue a ticket and fulfill their quota.

And my favorite part is Turkish interests. Is that a couple of script kiddies who speak Turkish sitting in a basement in their pjs taking a break from Fortnite or PUBG?

Re: Microsoft didn't see a disconnect between "VB Classic" and "VB.NET" like so many users did.

It wasn't backward compatible in the least bit. You pretty much had to start over. The auto-converters were poor, mostly because GUI land doesn't map well to Web Land.

In the Python 2-to-3 change, most just had to re-test and do minor tweaks to existing code (at least so I hear). Few had to start the code-base over. If I had to score the difference on a 1-to-10 scale, the Python change was like a 2.5 and the VB change was like a 7.5.
I want a notebook where causality can only flow forward through the cells. I hate notebook time-loops where a variable from a deleted cell can still be in scope.

1. Checkpoint the interpreter state after every cell execution.

2. If I edit a cell, roll back to the previous checkpoint and let execution follow from there.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen accidental persistence of dead state waste hours of people's time.

The Accidental Invention of Bubble Wrap
ZFS is incredibly easy to learn to use, whereas btrfs is quite complicated to learn/use, and even more so if you've used ZFS since a lot of things are either just different enough to be weird, or so different that it makes no sense.

Examples: ZFS snapshots can be recursive (-r) or not, whereas on btrfs they cannot be recursive; in discussions I've seen, this is mentioned as "a feature", since you can create a subvolume for data that you don't want to be part of the snapshot, but it also prevents you from dividing up a logical heirarchy into multiple behaviours (compression vs. not, block size, etc.).
Startup Trends to Watch in 2020
I'm aware, I was being somewhat facetious since the topic of my #1 prediction occurred so soon into the decade. Your response sounds like a pouty little kid.
Keep in mind that if you're using a PLB, there's a good chance you have broken an arm or leg and won't be able to set up a large device.

One of the advantages of an inReach is that you could activate it with a single button press even with major injuries.
(A frequent Jupyter Notebook user here. For data exploration, and teaching deep learning - then Colab is indispensable.)

The main question is: what are the alternatives, for data exploration (and sharing its results). Similarly, for data science tool demos, Notebooks shine.

IMHO the problem is not in the notebooks, but in how they are being used (i.e. the workflow). By writing scripts in py files, and using notebooks only to show their results (processed data, charts, etc) we get the best of both worlds.

The only build-in problem with Jupyter Notebooks is JSON, mixing input and output (and making it pain to work with version control). But here RMarkdown (and a few other alternatives) work well.
How many problems do you have available?
Hi

Shit sucks sometimes. It's not a nice feeling when you're constantly trying to hold yourself together. You convince yourself you're doing all right, because you're hanging on, but you have no energy to develop yourself or do new things, and you're slowly sinking into a hole that becomes ever more difficult to climb out of. After a while, even basic things take so much energy that it becomes a daily struggle to keep up with laundry, cooking, cleaning.

How do you climb out of that hole? I don't know. I think there's no easy solution. But talking helps. I don't have any answers for you, but if you just want to talk with someone who understands what you're going through, you can find my contact info in my profile.

Same thing happens with operating systems.
No mention of https://observablehq.com notebooks? They’re the best I’ve found in the “Share and collaborate” and “As products” category. JupyterLab is still pretty great for exploratory stuff, but visualization possibilities in observable are incredible.
Oooooh nice poisoning of the well there. A fallacious stance on why there should be no alternative. But A for effort there, sport.
Huh. I was saved from the ads, but the XSS to Stripe creeps me. Maybe it's an exploit, checking whether I have an account, or am logged in. Or maybe not. But still creepy.
Public distrust of American companies doesn't serve the USA when top tech companies have approximately half their revenue generated outside the USA.

Language is not thinking. Language is I/O

Actually, I think the key thing is Language is not logic. People are great at simple logic statements and terrible at complex logic.

A line of SQL with 1-2 predicates can indeed seem "easy and language like" but a line of SQL with 5-6 predicates can be utterly opaque, a beast that many programmers would be happy to write an entire 1000-line C program to avoid.

I think a key failing of discussion of cause and effect, logic and so-forth is a failure to really come to terms with the multifaceted qualities of human language expression.

And I'd agree with other posters that the distinction between I/O and thought can be debatable.
This is a solid list. It will be even better if juxtaposed with current efforts to solve each of these problems - every DS I know is addressing at least 2-3 of these with some pet tools in their own environment. For example, we use Panel and Holoviews to make data exploration much easier. I have a feeling the ecosystem would improve faster if we had an index of (partial) solutions aligned with this problem set.

One category left out of the list: testing of data pipelines (c.f. great expectations).
> back in nineties. They just went unnoticed for there being no Google logo on the paper.

Google wasn't nearly as big a deal back in the 90's (hell, they were only really around the last couple years of the decade) so that's a weird association to make.

re: bike racks on buses, I don't know that it's worthwhile. Chicago has them, and they rarely get used. Personally I don't use them because my bike moves faster than the bus, so it hardly seems worthwhile. I've also seen a bike get stolen off of a bus I was on - the bus was stopped at a red light, and someone who was crossing the street just grabbed a bike off the front as he was walking past and rode away before anyone could do anything about it.
> My objection is the idea that a service provider considers any downtime to be acceptable.

If you don't view any downtime to be acceptable, the logical thing to do is invest all of your resources into reducing downtime. This means solely investing in reliability infrastructure, redundancy, and making few or no changes to the system, since change introduces failure.

Since no service does that, the logical conclusion is that very few people actually consider any downtime unacceptable. Broadly speaking, I can think of literally no service that advertises "zero downtime". Cold storage gets close, but even they offer a measly 12 or 16 9s of reliability.

In other words, reliability is a business goal, much like any other business goal. Trying to achieve "perfect" reliability with limited resources isn't a good time. So looking at error budgets empowers SREs. You can go to leaders and say "hey we're exceeding our error budget, so we not making any more changes and only working on reliability until we're back within our agreed reliability."
Google follows this, I believe
First off, I'm sorry to hear what you are going through. Having to go through one of those events would be traumatic enough, so it is difficult to imagine how you must feel.

I am not trained in anyway to do diagnostics. Like others answering your question I would hazard a guess though that you may be going through something of a more serious nature than simply burnout.

As someone who experienced burnout personally just last year as well as a cancer diagnostic in my partner alongside that, I can't stress it enough how important it is to seek professional outside help in these situations.
Especially in a case involving sexual trauma. You don't want that gnawing at the back of your mind, unresolved for years.

Psychologists are trained to help people cope with, process, and get through what you are experiencing.
But they can't help you unless you reach out to them. And know that there is no shame in asking for help. We all have done it, whether we admit to it or not.

My experience was an eye opener. Simply the discussion, with a neutral party did wonders for me. I was also prescribed any kind of exercise where my heart rate would go up and, more importantly, involved deep rapid breathing. There are bio-feedback loops involved there that help remedy some of the depressive symptoms..

Also know that this kind of state can take time to heal from. It has been 5 months for me and just now do I feel myself coming together as the person I was before.

Hope it all goes well for you.
No one we interviewed or surveyed mentioned it.
I agree with your conclusion that TSX needs to be disabled. I mean, I don’t know why anyone is arguing against that, since it follows directly from this attack; the alternative is to clear the L1 cache across security boundaries, but that’s probably slower than just coping without TSX. The case for disabling TSX was somewhat weaker before this latest finding, but not that much, and the point is moot now. Though I do wonder if someone will find a different way to leak data from the same buffer that doesn’t rely on TSX. (Didn’t the original ZombieLoad paper already find some, but they were amenable to kernel-side workarounds?)

I’m going to nitpick, though.

> I explicitly mentioned memory model atomics in addition to locked instructions in an attempt to prevent getting hung up on locked atomics. I guess that didn't work.

By “memory model atomics” do you mean atomic loads and stores rather than, say, compare-and-swap or atomic-increment? Because C++11 compare-and-swap and atomic-increment operations take a memory ordering parameter, yet they still generate the same `lock cmpxchg` and `lock inc` instructions.

But the issue isn’t locks; none of those instructions actually lock the entire memory bus like in the old days (...unless you pass an unaligned address!). They lock the cache line, which causes cache line thrashing if many processors do it at the same time, and that’s the biggest source of overhead. But plain stores also lock the cache line. A compare-and-swap is more expensive than a plain store, but not that much more.
this is awesome and can really make a different in peoples lives. nice work!

> the stimulant is seen as the only thing keeping you in your job (which can get super depressing internally)

Literally experiencing this right now while getting a degree in software engineering. Got diagnosed during my first year with AD(H)D and I'm currently in my fourth, final year. Looking back at things I have no clue how I even managed to pass the harder subjects/courses. All I remember is I took my meds and studied about 12 hours a day 3 weeks straight during the hardest parts.

Before I had never studied more than 2 hours a day and I would start only about 5 - 8 days before a test.

I often wonder if I could work at a software company without my medicine because of this and it actually worries me.
Many systems exist because there isn't a perfect one that works in all scenarios. You should search online for UX discussions more focused on your particular scenario and weigh up the pros/cons. A list of pages might be perfect for one use case, infinite scrolling might be perfect for another etc. Try and find existing apps/UIs that deal with your scenario for ideas.
Probably direct application - like injection to wound plus overwhelming amount, so even if immune kills most, some will reach regions infected with target bacteria.

After target is eliminated, regular antibiotics are used to kill remainder of phage bacteria.
Hey... PTSD is not something u can just walk away from. I was married to a girl who suffered sexual assault/ptsd before we met.... Its one of those conditions that will evolve with you and it will effect you in waves as well as via a steady undertone of anxiety.

> First, I would agree with @codingslave in that you SHOULD NOT quit your job

I agree with this. There was a period of several years when I was suffering from mysterious medical issues that made functioning at work very difficult. Fortunately, I had a therapist at the time. At times I told my therapist that maybe I should go on medical disability.

My therapist advised that I should under no circumstances go on long-term disability. That if I did, I would likely end up being on medical disability for the rest of my life, and likely sit around being depressed forever.

Eventually, the mysterious medical issues went away, and I had managed to keep my job and sanity in the meantime.

I'm sorry that that OP has been going through so much. I know how rough this type of thing is, and it's truly hell on earth. What's always worked for me is to just fake it til you make it. Take everything one day at a time. Work towards getting your life to where you want it to be when you have the wherewithal. Do things that you find to be fun when you can. Eventually, a day comes when things are not so shitty anymore, and when that day comes, you'll be happy that you persevered.
Take a long shower. Get a full night sleep. Take a sabbatical for as long as you need. Relax until you're bored. Then do whatever gives you joy. Then figure out if its your work (that is line of work etc), working conditions or something else that lead to your burn out. Make a plan to guardrail against it.

Personally for me, I need to take at least 1 personal day / 3 day weekend every month otherwise I start hating my work. I also need to take at least a week on a relaxing vacation (not sightseeing / running around doing stuff for a week!!) about every 6-8 months. I also try to work on _my_ schedule the best I can. I like to work from about 8am to 2pm and then some amount between 10pm-2am; for whatever reason those are my best working hours. Take as much time as you can to learn to listen to your body because I really think you can catch burnout before it reaches meltdown. I haven't had a proper burnout since 2016. Best of luck my friend.
Ask HN: Why Isn't Microsoft Included in FAANG?
Supposed question, but this acronym appears everywhere on Hacker News?

Is FAANG supposed to be big high-tech companies?

How did Netflix make the cut but not Microsoft?
Any why is this not a trivial problem to solve?

Mind you, Bitcoin had the same issues and they solved it with hard coded checkpoints.

There's no reason this can't be solved with timestamps and some sort of checkpoint mechanism. Many coins have done this with no issues, and others with issues have hard coded alternative checkpoints for forked chains.

Why would a client ever reasonably revert to a chain back in time 1 day without human intervention? If someone could explain in what extraordinary remote case this would be reasonable, I might be able to comprehend the maxis.

Obviously it's pretty hard to make general criticism of the Notebook GUI. This is especially without comparing to a specific other user interface for data scientists, such as a traditional REPL terminal, or some other command line tools?

The Python world gives a good example about the sheer complexity of a notebook infrastructure. The is IPython, there is Jupyter Notebook, JupyterLab. There is even stuff like the SageMathCloud (nowadays called CoCalc) which is basically a web GUI to a VPS combining command lines and various notebooks. And hell, most of these web based interfaces try to make sharing easy.

Mabye we should start comparing these (mostly OSS) tools to the traditional notebook GUIs of Matlab and Mathematica, something we used in the 90s and 2000s. From my feeling, they were more robust, could handle large data better, but they lack all the tooling we get for free in the web.
I also think people underestimate the desire of men to have their wives and childern living in the suburbs that would survive if a nuclear bomb hit the downtown. By the mid 60's there were so many bombs that this did not make much sense any more, but the roads were already built and there are some nice things about having a large house and a yard.

Sourcegraph has editor plugins (https://docs.sourcegraph.com/integration/editor) that give you editor hotkeys for (1) multi-repository search and (2) go-to-file on Sourcegraph (in your web browser, so you can read the code without ruining your editor state or share the URL of your current file with a teammate).

That advanced use case you mentioned isn't supported, but it sounds very cool. It's in the realm of things we'd like to offer someday. If anyone's interested in hacking on that (and making a PR to https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph), I'd be happy to screenshare with them and give them some pointers.

Came here to say this. Even better if OP can find/afford a gym with a strong social component; I know people who only marginally care about fitness but really really care about seeing their friends at the gym and that is enough get them to go to the gym several times per week. But you won't find this at most cheap commercial chains where people just want to bang out some cardio and get out. You have to look around at more niche facilities to find the right vibe.
