I like the concept of these, bridging the Gap between a small bike/golf cart and a EV like the leaf, but at least for the US they unfortunately would need to be bigger, from a safety and speed perspective, to catch on.

Maybe something smart car like with a 40-50 mph top speed, sub highway but capable of matching speed on larger roadways. Unfortunately at that point you're probably close to EV cost.

> I know technically AMD supports it for their Ryzen line, but everything I’ve read says it’s up to the motherboard manufacturer to support it.

AFAIK every ASRock AM4 motherboard supports ECC.

Also, most Intel processors do not support ECC at all, except the ones which are competing (in some limited sense, since they are being absolutely crushed at most price points) with Threadripper, in which case, ECC is available across the board (and glorious quad-channel memory).

I don't have any formal education on this topic, but I did lose a bunch of weight and keep it off, partly thru intermittent fasting, so I can offer anecdotal evidence.

For me, simply, it's easier to eat less calories if I intermittent fast. For some reason, if I don't eat breakfast or lunch, I find my hunger is actually sometimes lower, and I don't need to eat a bigger dinner to make up for it.

Certainly eating low-g.i\high-carb foods seems to make me get hungry again very easily.

I also had really good luck with keto, and sometimes a combination of both.

I believe the reason is something to do with blood sugar and insulin not spiking as much, but I'm not a biologist in the slightest.
You’re right there. Though PR doesn’t really have many cities/towns that can be equivalent to San Juan, but even if it was only San Juan or the second most populous city in PR, that would be more equivalent to NO.

I don’t agree with the OP, regardless, of any coup happening if the help to some analogous US mainland situation happens.

I’ll pick some swing states so the mainstream politics isn’t too onesided: Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina. They are all top 10 by population, PA top 5, decent sizes (though none except Michigan are in top half of state sizes).

Arizona would fit as a swing state that is top 15 in population and size (top 10)

New York and LA have too much power for stuff to go too wrong with them. City-wise that leaves Dallas - Fort Worth, Houston, Chicago for cities close to PR population, but all below still.
Author here: I believe the missing step is being able to APPLY the knowledge and skills (learned from online courses) to create value.

It's not difficult, you just need to know that creating an artifact is not the end of your job--it needs to be used to benefit customers and generate value. Remember to measure the impact after your feature/system is launched.

I've seen many interview candidates struggle with this (missing step) too. Those that get past it were hungry enough to want it, as well as followed up with proper validation and measurement.

Ask HN: Suggestions for Side Project
I am seeking suggestions and ideas for a side project.

Additional info/constraints:
1. I stopped coding ~10 years back (and switched to management).
2. My preference would be backend tools/systems (rather than UI). I used to be decent at C (before grudgingly moved to C# and Java).
3. Not really particular about monetising this. My objective is to get hands dirty & do hands-on coding.
4. Should be roughly do-able in ~6-8 weeks.
5. Bonus: Would prefer if this is something folks can use.

Any suggestions/ideas on what to build? Or better, is there any site where I can look?
You have to figure out how sensitive your are. If you feel really crappy after a small exposure then plan accordingly. If you can tolerate some exposure then your life will be easier. Unfortunately, it changes over time so you'll have to be on the lookout.

It's easiest if you make your own food and switch to a vegetable and meat diet. Trusting what anyone says about food content can lead to problems.

And don't apologize for your dietary requirements. It's your life, not theirs. They don't have to approve or even understand.

But this all take a lot of willpower. It's not easy.

I don't understand why people have such a hard time with that.

If Airbnb cancels the reservation, the person renting out the room has an empty room and doesn't get paid. The housekeeper they hire to clean up after each guest doesn't get hired. The guy in the sandwich cart the guest would have bought from doesn't get paid. The corporation doesn't make a profit from the transaction (that was the one we're supposed to want, right?), but that wasn't most of the price to begin with, and the profits go to "shareholders" which are mostly the retirement accounts of ordinary people.

They should cancel it anyway.
There are some kinds of trips where there's no real option to book in a way that you can cancel a week before the trip. But, by and large, you can book flexibly if you're willing to pay the premium. I'm not sure it's usually worth it in the case of airline tickets given that flexible tickets are often 2x and you can usually cancel for a $250 or so fee. But hotels usually have flexible rates for a 10% to 20% upcharge. That's what I usually do anyway (it's work travel policy) and it's certainly what I'm doing over the coming months.
Not presumably, it does. They are shipping it. Have been shipping it since at least last year. Ahead of Time compilation is how they get around the no-JIT rule.
If they're creating types with optional keys it's probably because that's how you're defining your types in GraphQL. E.g. with

type Foo {
bar: String
}

bar would be optional in the Typescript type because it's specified as optional in the GraphQL type. You would need to do the following to make it required:

type Foo {
bar: String!
}

I remember that pre-1990, PostScript seemed like a miracle. "Computer Shopper" of all things, used to have a PostScript Guru column with all kinds of interesting stuff.

It's so sad that vehicle ownership has become a kind of security dilemma, where people feel forced to constantly buy bigger. I used to cycle to work every day and in recent years I feel less and less safe to do so as more and more cars in the roads have become these massive SUVs and Jeeps. Cyclist deaths are on the rise and it's no wonder when drivers have less ability to see around their vehicles and far more momentum to hit others with.

What you are basically saying is that there is never going to be a market solution to this problem, since no alternative could "catch on". We obviously need government action if we are ever going to kill the addiction to fuel-guzzling vehicles and carbon in general.

This is too optimistic. We're currently in the exponential growth phase of this outbreak. Things can change rapidly, much sooner than 2-6 months.

Self-interest aside, it's a moral imperative to do what we can to slow the spread of this outbreak. The mortality rate for COVID19 is highly correlated with overburdening of the healthcare system. I fear the US healthcare system is woefully unprepared.

* Do you have sufficiently large batches that you can efficiently assign to one thread?

It's easy to end up spending more time juggling tasks and switching tasks than performing any useful work.

“If you have a trust fund, then a career in fields such as politics, academia, law, or finance is much easier.”
“!!” is a way to convert any “falsy” value to a Boolean false. E.g. if you have a flag “enableFoo” that can take the values of undefined, null, numerical zero, NaN, empty string, and actual Boolean false, all these values will be converted to false with “not not”. All other values, including - ironically - “false” as a string, will be converted to Boolean true.
Taking over the job of the OS scheduler is explicitly the reason for doing it, there are some classes of macro-optimization that have this as a prerequisite. It is done for the same reasons that high-performance database kernels replace the I/O scheduler too.

To your point, it is a double-edged sword. Writing your own schedulers requires a much higher degree of sophistication than using the one in the OS. It is a skill that takes a long time to develop and requires a lot of first principles thinking, there is loads of subtlety, you can't just copy something you found on a blog. It also isn't just about being able to predict the behavior of your workload better than the OS, you can also adapt your workload to the schedule state since it is exposed to your application, the latter being a greatly overlooked capability.

Once you know how to design software this way, it not only generates large increases in throughput but also enables many elegant solutions to difficult software design problems that simply aren't possible any other way. While the learning curve is steep, once you are accustomed to writing software this way it becomes pretty mechanical.
Lately I have been realizing that this is true for me. I can get stuff done on time when there are existing guidelines/checklist. If not, I tend to struggle and take much more time to complete tasks.

I do have a technical degree. But I think my underlying problem is because of how I was brought up. I had strict parents and family members and was always told what to do. Questioning things was not something I was taught and I grew up to always follow the "rules".

And I think that has (kind of) led to my current state where without rules I struggle to make decisions.
In my view, the BBB has become an extortion agency. A business can essentially commit serial murder and maintain an A+, so long as they pay their dues. There are many reputable and fine businesses with low BBB ratings, simply because they refuse to pay for accreditation.

I didn't recall any books helping much on communication.

With regard to presentation and speaking, I had great leaders around me who provided candid feedback the presentation was off-point, too long, or had to be re-ordered (e.g., when presenting to non-tech folks, results before methodology). It was also useful to "rehearse" any conference presentations at meet-ups and get feedback.

Feedback to improve written communication is harder to come by. Few people feedback on your design documents or reports. For this, I find blogging and seeking feedback from writers whose writing I enjoy to help the most.

That isn't games, passmark is a wide splattering of applications, some of which clearly benefit from threading. I have talked about a particular set of circumstances in which Intel wins (and looses) and your source is garbage for that circumstance.

The majority of the big outlets say the same thing about gaming and low threaded workloads on these CPUs. Intel wins that still, not by as much as it did but it still wins most of the time and on average about 7%, at worst more like 20-25%. Intel also looses sometimes, it really depends.

> Are you suggesting companies spend 10x on manual user research?

if they want to make their product better, that's what they should do, instead of drawing wrong conclusions from the limited data that telemetry gives you.

> Are you willing to pay more for a product because of increased costs to understand what users actually want?

It's your business. Add telemetry, have it turned off by a significant amount of your users which might not be an average representation of your user base.

So your go ahead and optimize for a biased subset, maybe even interpret some of that data wrong, and before you know it, for iterations later some fancy startup is stealing the show, because they simply read all the detailed complaints about your software on reddit and HN instead of jacking off to analytics data.
For SSR supports, use cookie instead of localStorage. But I would put a damn user preference flag in backend rather than solving it in the front-end.
Awesome post! Thank you for taking the time to document down your learnings along your journey of pursuing data science. What I really like about your journey is how one thing manages to lead to another in the most amazing way. Some people attribute it to luck, but I guess in your case you really have made your own luck by taking actions to move towards your goal! Congratulations on your accomplishments thus far! I just have a few questions which would love if you can elaborate further on.

Firstly, it seems to me that the online course enabled you to reach top 3% of a Kaggle project which led to a series of career opportunities. However, I believe that being able to reach the top in Kaggle competition is not an easy feat. This kind of process is not really replicable especially for the people who are just starting out in Data Science. In that case, what would you recommend them to do?

And secondly, what is the end goal of a data scientist or at least for you as a data scientist? Would it be going into research? Continue to climb the ladder till you reach the top of the company? Data science and engineering in general are great as a form of intellectual challenge. However, personally sometimes I feel that there is a lack of meaning in the thing that I am doing as engineer/data scientist (especially if the culture of the company is very bottom-line driven). Just want to hear your thoughts! :)
