skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
We do something very similar at work, but with runtime generated Java code for an in-memory column oriented database. Our data is analyzed before being loaded and we determine the range of numbers necessary to store the data: eg. If we only have bytes incoming, we generate a class that only stores bytes etc. On top of that all our strings are interned in a trie and then represented as ints, also run through above outlined code.

This works because we are mostly interested in equality of strings and other computation with strings (mostly prefix based classific) is done ahead of time.

For debugging we emit our generated code and both eclipse and intellij picked up our generated code without configuration. It's safed us a lot of headaches.
It already does, in the T2. It seems to me like future T* chips will run more and more of the system, leaving the x86 to become something like the MBP’s discrete GPU option. And then, like discrete GPUs, eventually an x86 CPU is only available in top-end models.

You’re continuing to elide both my and the parent’s point not that any political systems are free of mental illness, but that they result in different rates, experiences, and forms of instantiation.

This isn’t even contested in the psychological literature. For example, go read about how schizophrenia manifests and is experienced in the developing vs. developed world. Or how depression and rates of suicide increase in the wake of economic crises.

tbh (without knowing anything else about you, maybe caught you at a bad moment) this attitude is going to stunt your career development and growth more than you can possibly imagine.

Are you wrong with any of this? Not at all.

But letting it drip over in to impacting the quality of your relationships is detrimental to yourself and everyone around you. It's also disrespecting the contributions you make to the team, project and company. You're more than just a warm body pressing buttons.

Good luck mate, wish you the best.
I am no expert in this but have worked at a few early-stage startups so hopefully my advice can help a bit.

Marketing is really, really hard. Even user research is an entire profession. You've done well to attract your first signups, but looking to grow organically from zero may let you down. If you can trial this with a real person then you have a user and case study to write about. You can start thinking, talking and designing for users rather than analysis.

The https://www.korabo.io homepage looks like a holding page rather than a signup page for a live product. I think a lot of this is because the background is too stock-image-y. It isn't fantastic that it leads to a signup form with no context, but one improvement at a time.

For a new product it probably isn't worth building a flashy homepage. But you need to have some sort of intro to draw people into the site and state that it's a functioning product. Taking https://basecamp.com as an example, the top two paragraphs say a lot in very readable language. Compare Flesch Reading Ease using https://datayze.com/readability-analyzer and try to come up with a pitch that does better than your blog post :)

Ask HN: Bad user experience angers and depresses me – what can I do about it?
When I encounter what I strongly believe to be indefensibly poor design, I get feelings of anger and depression; anger that such stupid decisions could be made and that I must deal with them, and depression that I am largely powerless to change the situation. In particular, poor design that is part of public service (subways, signs, etc) really makes me feel as though I am getting exploited, and for some reason I almost actually feel they are personal attacks on me.

I currently try to justify why poor design decisions are made and to give the "system" the benefit of doubt. Perhaps there are cost constraints, time constraints, or perhaps the intended use case is not the one I am in -- but a lot of the time I arrive at this conclusion: "this design is simply indefensible -- had the creator, or anybody involved actually tried the design, just once, surely they would notice the problems and fix this". Furthermore, the fixes are sometimes very obvious. So, I think to myself, is the whole world just lazy? Stupid? Apathetic? Why would somebody make this thing the way it is, and think it is acceptable?

I had listed examples, ranging from NYC subway gripes, double doors where one door is locked and the handles are ambiguous, cell phone gripes, google maps, windows, etc, but there is no space for it in this post. So, for the sake of helping me, please just assume that my assessments of certain designs are accurate, and that they are undeniably awful, and had the designer(s) attempted to use their design once they would have realize this -- and that it's not just me.

Lastly, and more to the point, I feel awful that such banalities can have such a profound effect on me. I realize that I may come off as whiny or arrogant or whatever -- I accept that. But it really, truly, pisses me off when I encounter bad user experience, and I honestly don't want it to. What can I do about this?
Thanks for responding with thoughtful messages and references; I'd agree that the simplification of depression (which I have no doubt is the result of multiple, complicated factors; social, environmental, political and nutritional).

It'd seem much more inline with the spirit of the HN guidelines if others could respond and critique to your messages instead of downvoting (which feels like it may be more of an attempt to suppress a message).

I thought that this was near when I wrote "Running PHP in Javascript" [1]. I'm so happy this article includes images and more in-depth technical explanations, since I basically hacked it together without understanding half of it (for fun!).

Personally I think it belongs at the top. When the article looks like it is generated by the buzzword generator, that should be the real discussion.
There are a lot of reasons to expect that to work better for servers than laptops.

Most server workloads scale with core count, so winning in performance per watt is winning in general because you can scale performance by adding cores. A server with twice as many cores that are each half as fast is just as good, but that doesn't work for a laptop.

A server processor also doesn't have to win at every workload. If it can win at any workload, people can use it for only those, which makes it useful. That also doesn't really work for a laptop.

People run Linux on servers. It's portable. The architectural transition cost there is close to zero.

On top of that, Amazon is fudging the benchmarks in claiming it's faster. They're comparing performance "per-vCPU" which on Intel are hyperthreads rather than full cores. That's fine when Amazon is charging less for the ARM "vCPU" than the Intel hyperthread "vCPU", but you can't use that trick when running single-threaded workloads on a laptop.
Yes, I am sure. Drugs are a medical treatment for depression but are not the only or generally preferred treatment.

Depression isn't sadness. Sadness is healthy, depression is when it runs amok like a cancer, sometimes with no apparent cause. Someone with a great life, job, friends, health, can be horribly depressed. That's what makes it illness. It's not due to low serotonin levels. The serotonin / chemical imbalance theory has been out of favor for the past ten years: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12115-007-9047-3, right now we think it's more related to decreased levels of neurogenesis but we're not entirely sure. The "happiness is an inside job" thing works if you're not depressed. When you are, it's like your "happiness muscles" don't work at all. You're just a non-responder to positive stimuli. It's like telling someone that any other illness is really their fault, with the underlying message being that they want you to go away.

The benefits of diversity are that you get a diverse set of experiences and opinions hoping it will lead to better problem solving. The part where many companies go horribly wrong is assuming that diverse experiences are proportional to how diverse their gender pool is or how many different skin colors there are in the office. That's a lazy way of hiring. Hiring someone to fulfill a skin color quota or gender quota is like saying "Hey, you are just like everyone else who tried to apply BUT you are a black woman. So go over here to your desk and be the token black woman of the office."

That is essentially what a company is doing when they try and fullfil some race/gender quotas.
Annual subscriptions are particularly valuable for SaaS companies which are growing consistently. If I can reinvest the profits from an annual subscription in my growth engine I've self-funded growth that I would otherwise not have had. I'd only want to do this if my investment were likely to produce a higher value over the same period than revenue lost from the discount I've given my customer.

Regardless of retention benefits, if you've got predictable growth then annual subscriptions should be well worth the discount.

(1983)

Reading this, I feel like there’s some historical context that’s implied but probably easily missed if you’re unaware: In the U.S. this was the end of the era of managers working at one company for their entire career, of showing undying loyalty to the company which in turn would march them up the corporate ladder. Many companies had gotten large and complacent from this, and their competitiveness had eroded terribly, because (as the article points out) management was focused on appearances and the short term.

Thus this article seems to be right in step with the times of calling into question the benefits of strong, hierarchical management.

The chemical imbalance theory is BS and dead https://qr.ae/T6UgWb. We don't understand depression fully, but more signs are pointing to low neurogenesis in the hippocampus. Chem imbalance may draw from medieval notions of imbalanced humors.

I suspect it's because Firefox exploits have looked the same for the last several years -- there has not been a lot of novelty required to implement an exploit, given an arbitrary read/write primitive.

P0 does report vulnerabilities to Firefox though, and they obviously get fixed, they're just not particularly interesting to exploit.

You seem to have missed the main point I was trying to make:

"Vote" for a language which is useful and practical.

I specifically said that if you think it's useful to say that NASA is an acronym but FBI isn't, then go ahead and do so. Just be prepared to give a justification of why you think it's better.

"That was the original meaning" isn't valid, because it wasn't the original meaning. "That's what all the dictionaries say" is a weak argument. I didn't elect them and I don't agree with their decision.
Whenever I read posts like this I'm much more impressed with the person's desire, motivation, determination, and strength to go an entire year focusing on one a single goal, not necessarily their learning ability.

So many people, me especially, go through spurts of wanting to learn something new or complete a project, reach a goal, and yet I always seem to fizzle out because in the end, why bother?

I'll argue it's incredibly rare for people to set goals, work continuously towards them, and consider it a success more so than what they can now do.
True. I don't think the output will be particularly pretty, and it does assume the presence of its own stdlib. But hopefully it's still fun to see how exactly they do things under the hood.
The problem with recruiter spam is, it makes it impossible to tell who is legit and who isn't, and even then, it places the burden of deciding that if I am right for a job on me, and I'm the person with the least amount of information about that. A lot of the time, the company that's hiring doesn't even know what job they're hiring for.

I recently did a phone interview for a company that was looking for an "iOS Guy." Then during the screen, they told me they were actually looking for an embedded C++ developer.

And that's just if everyone is well-meaning but lazy/incompetent. Add to that scam companies like Cybercoders and all of India, which has a 6-month contract for me 3000 miles from my home, and you've got a real mess.
> Just talk. Do it often and do it honestly. That's all.

One good thing to always keep in mind:

Some people need help with things that you find utterly trivial, just like you probably struggle with things others excel effortlessly at.
I don't quite understand where people are finding the time to let their kids watch over 1 hour of TV (much less read to them) each day.

My wife and I work a standard 8 hour day. Kids wake up at 700. We leave for daycare/work by 800. Arrive at work by 9. Work until 6pm. Pick up kids. Get home by 7pm. Prepare and eat dinner. Bedtime routine starts at 8pm.

This leaves zero hours of dedicated kid time during the work week.
If you open the share sheet, there should be an Open in Apollo option in the same place as your share sheet Shortcuts and below most of the other app icons. You have to make one more tap, but it's worth it to not have to deal with Reddit's official mobile website (or worse, the AMP version).

Financial distress is a key catalyst associated with suicidal ideations. That doesn’t mean financially distressed people are generally suicidal or even depressed. It does mean that stresses associated with finances are a frequently identified/measured trauma that can impact depressed persons who may not be clinically diagnosed as depressed. Depression is often undiagnosed and self-managed like many other mental health diseases.

Abstract:
While the sequence of primes is very well distributed in the reduced residue classes (mod q), the distribution of pairs of consecutive primes among the permissible ϕ(q)2 pairs of reduced residue classes (mod q) is surprisingly erratic. This paper proposes a conjectural explanation for this phenomenon, based on the Hardy-Littlewood conjectures. The conjectures are then compared to numerical data, and the observed fit is very good.

I mean, if you think about what a brain is, you could consider basically any any mental disorder is just a "chemical imbalance". Saying that depression is one isn't false, but, to your point, I think pharmaceutical companies harp on this point in order to sell antidepressants.

What GP gets right, though, is that depression != sadness. It is normal (and often healthy) to feel sadness after experiencing loss or other hardships. It is not healthy to feel hopeless and devoid of energy for months on end... that's what depression is.
The most important improvement to my note taking was the elimination of a computer. Ideas, digressions, illustrations, concerns, and more are difficult to translate to a machine using a keyboard or mouse. A tablet is better, but the fidelity of a drawing app isn't as good as paper.

Paper, it turns out, is always "on". There's no battery to worry about, no booting up and loading the app, and no Slack notification interrupting your flow. Paper calms you, because you know it never ever interrupts.

I've really enjoyed evolving the tools I use for notes. Right now I take all notes in a large dotted moleskin using a Rotring Pro. Turns out the more enjoyable a tool is to use, the more likely you are to use it. The notebook is the lower end Moleskin ($20 for a 3-pack), and that's a nice balance between quality and feeling comfortable "wasting" a page.
