Our local library has a great area for kids to play.

Only problem is about once a month we get sick after going there.

Usually its just a cold or something. But it's been the stomach flu at least once.

Would avoid it, but damn if its not a convenient place for the kids to play in the evenings.
Stories like these confirm my experience that academia is in a sorry state and ripe for disruption. I'm a firm believer that you are only as good as your last recent work. Enough of these inflated egos that haven't published anything interesting in a decade, or whose one claim to fame was a matter of luck.

How is "inflation in financial assets" different from deflation? The only way you can tell stuff is inflating or deflating is by comparing it to something.
"Bozo" as a word for an incompetent person has been around for a long time: "bozo (slang) A stupid, foolish, or ridiculous person, especially a man. [from 1910s]" (Source: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bozo)
Those videos are alarming, although we should be cautious that they might be old videos from something else re-purposed for the sake of stoking panic.

Some videos, such as one showing a bunch of people passed out or passed away in an apartment, are from earlier unrelated incidents.
I long for such a solution as well. There’s got to be a simpler way to essentially access a global singleton object without the culture set by something like Redux (and I’m using the word culture in a weird way, but I’m trying to avoid trite explanations such as ‘lots of boilerplate’ and ‘unintuitive/tedious wiring’ on an app architecture level).
> am skeptical that he actually hung himself

The simplest explanation here, if you’re trying to include outside interference, is that a patient on suicide watch was intentionally allowed conditions in which he could finish the job.

Why hang him when you can intentionally botch the surveillance and he’ll hang himself for you? Much cleaner.
It says so in the "Show info" section. Alexa stats check out too.
Americans of all ethnic groups also regularly eat bush meat also known as wild animals. However, we have outlawed it’s sale due to public heath concerns and possibly some lobbing from the farm industry.

So, calling this a cultural or racial issue is very much a straw man argument.

PS: If anything it’s the term bush meat that’s confusing the issue. Eating deer, rabbits, quails, and squirrels etc represents real risks to human heath. But, outdoor markets significantly increase these risks in several ways.

With a government job, you may have a pension and a 457b plan, which is much like a 401k.

It's often mentioned that one of the biggest investors in the US (and I assume the world) is CalPERS, which manages pensions for California state employees. You may not be particularly in tune with the stock market just because you have a state pension, but indirectly it matters to you.
Can't think of any specific sites, but it's happened to me a few times. It's usually because there's bad code that's waiting on the GA init function before doing anything else.

A friend of mine recently launched a side-project that does heavy processing of audio. He decided to invest ~2-5 hours properly setting up auto-scaling, a job queue, etc, before releasing v1.

Fast-forward two days later, his service and a competitor were both featured on Product Hunt. He's now making a profit on the service, as he managed to scale it up very fast, while the competitor buckled and completely lost momentum.

If you're talking about spending _a long time_ preparing a perfect infra, then your argument makes sense. Spending a few hours? It's both a great learning exercise and can literally save your project, so why not?

So, I just finished reading the article, and the last paragraph quickly mentions logging.

So, in the ‘spirit’ of this article, would that not be one of the first things to implement with the system?

Wait until you have added a caching layer and sharding the DB, to begin implementing logging?

I may not be reading this correctly.

I could see the case being made for distributed tracing, but having a logging strategy that can also scale and be flexible seems really important, to me at least.

Lots of layoffs in Utah tech companies lately. Instructure just let go of 10%, other layoffs related to WeWork, and a bunch of other small companies.

I'm a senior software engineer, experienced in a variety of languages and technology stacks. I'm looking for interesting and rewarding work, especially using modern functional programming languages such as Scala. I have experience in developing web applications using various UI stacks, but prefer backend development. I have experience as team lead, technical lead, and mentor. I am especially interested in automation, striving to make life easier for both developers and end-users.

Coworkers and friends look to me for programming advice and assistance in solving complex problems. I relish challenging projects. I strive to write exceptionally clean code, along with suites of thorough unit and integration tests. I am pragmatic, and bear performance in mind, however. Multiple times I've profiled and analyzed code and design, and identified opportunities to speed up and/or reduce footprint by a factor of 1000x or more.

I enjoy working on interesting and challenging problems, especially science-related ones, and on systems that impact large numbers of people. Contributing to open source projects would be a huge plus. I have experience working remotely, and with my background and abilities, I will be an asset to your team.

Regarding confirming or denying -- it's not like these people have any problem with or shame about directly lying to your face. What they confirm or deny, or fail to doesn't really mean much.
To take it further, even if you're clearly right in your own frame of reference you still need to recognize that the other person may also be right in theirs. Unless you fully understand someone's frame of reference you don't really know if they're right or not.

Loosely. The majority have given up on the public understanding of nuances and just phone it in with "just don't write crypto".

Because AES-CTR and ChaCha both refer to it as a nonce, and CBC calls it an initialization vector, the IV/nonce distinction does matter. But if you misuse the terms folks will know what you meant to say. Just don't mix it up when it comes time to implement.

>If longevity is a priority, limiting meat consumption is probably a good thing

But 90% of people don't seem to understand that literally all studies on meat are of this quality and there's zero reliable evidence that red meat is actually harmful.

However there is reason for bias considering meat gets a bad rap for being environmentally unfriendly and cruel, although both of those things can be solved with modern technology. But neither are valid reasons to dig for dirt with an agenda. That's bad science and studies like these are potentially the results. Not to accuse the authors specifically, but the bias is very likely influencing the direction of research in the field.

About 15 years ago, I became a full time employee of the Canadian Government. I was part of a team that was rebuilding a pretty huge and critical system. It was a disaster. I left after a year. The gun registry before it and the Phoenix pay system since, and many other failures in between..it seems pretty hopeless.

I initially put all of the blame on the expensive consultants, that were doing most of the work, for being technically awful (writing software like Fowler's Analysis Pattern book was a holy grail).

While I still think they bear the brunt of the blame, in retrospect everything was awful. The project was both a business and technical transformation at once. There were too many managers, too many business experts and overall poor leadership. Rather than breaking it down into manageable chunks, it just kept growing and growing. There was no concern or accountability for waste.

Sometimes replacing a legacy system with a new system is difficult. But most of the time, it can be done as a slow and steady transition...so long as egos and ambitions stay out of it.
The only thing you're doing is normalizing nepotism and excusing incompetence.
Free markets have nothing to do with competence.
That's an interesting idea and I get the motivation. I often wonder if we're already able explain predictions. There are things like gradcam to determine which inputs caused which activations. It's just that the explanations aren't very understandable or satisfying from a human perspective.

Off topic, but indeed they did. Lots of people leaving, too. Things are not going to end well there.

I doubt anyone will publish a good post mortem. I agree somebody is responsible for such a high profile failure, but I’m sure that the wrong person will be chosen as the scapegoat.

The app itself doesn’t sound like it needed to be that complex, and by all accounts, it wasn’t. But it feels like the company believed that the secret to a successful rollout was to ask the developer beforehand “are you sure there won’t be any problems?”

Every time I’ve been involved in releasing a web service, the step before “tell the world that the software is live” has been “make one or more complete end-to-end requests to make sure everything is running correctly.” The company clearly skipped that step: they announced the project was live without first making a single end-to-end request. We know that because the problems people reported and the problems that the company has described would have made it impossible for any upload to succeed.
> interesting to see the Riemann zeta function turn up here. Does anyone know why it cropped up here, in the critical temperature equation?

I don’t know if this is satisfactory, but here’s a technical answer: A lot of field theory calculations (when including 1-loop quantum effects) involve summing over all the modes/states in the field. In thermal equilibrium we can think of the time axis as a circle, and the wave frequencies get quantized into integers (upto a multiple of the temperature) aka Matsubara frequencies. So now, the calculation involves summing over all natural numbers (raised to some power), which is basically the zeta function. A more careful explanation can even justify the 3/2 (from the fact that we have 3 spatial dimensions, and a boson has action scaling as momentum squared) but it’s been a while since I’ve thought about this.

It's easy to say "this is bad" but put yourself in the position of the Israeli leadership. They are a tiny country surrounded by enemies and a people who have experienced horrible atrocities in the recent past. Even though it is wrong I accept that the logical actions for them is to set up exteme measures of blackmail and espionage to further the security of their people and homeland. It's literally a survival issue for them and possibly morally equivalent to a starving person stealing bread.

Even in the dotnet era, you have WinSxS and exe/dll specific manifests pinning specific library artifacts with apps and a loader that keeps a repository of every version referred to on the system. The linux/ELF ecosystem on the otherhand decided to try to implement various degrees of semantic library versioning, with differing (often poor) degrees of success.

When your target is a system image thats rebuilt entirely from source you can get away with the latter somewhat more easily, but its definitely no panacea. Just look at OpenSSL. (libmemcache is another personal 'favorite' of mine.)

This article doesn't reflect my experience in academia (but I was in a different field/country).

> That’s it. Stay positive, never criticize. That’s the secret.

That applies to other fields too. Actually, I was an academic and switched to the software industry. I feel that a somewhat sensitive part of the job is trying not hurt anyone's feeling. Could be when reviewing code, or discussing technical choices, or company orientation.

This is a product designed for small to medium sized businesses so it is not as comprehensive as a SAP. Take a serious look at the schema and imagine if you just had to write CRUD, it would take hundreds of man years. But it is not a CRUD app because there is business logic behind ever module.

Now imagine that there is also a whole ecosystem of vendors that sit under the QAD tree to provide niche solutions for the various use cases not covered by QAD. So not only do you have to write the ERP, but you have to write the pieces picked up by the other vendors in this ecosystem.
I would imagine that during an outbreak researchers don't have a lot of time or patience to respond to hundreds of requests for their work.
