Right, I'm using the word "trollish" in the sense of the effects the post had. That's the only thing that can be observed and the only thing that matters for moderation: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

"Asking people for introspection" is a skewed way of describing your original comment. If that was your intention, you should go about it in some way that isn't guaranteed to start a flamewar. I don't think these "allergies" are in any way obscure.

Ditto for "very benign opinions". If that was your intention, you should not be breaking the site guidelines.

Edit: I realized that it might be helpful if I mentioned the other aspect of why I posted what I did. You have a long history of breaking the site guidelines. We've asked you many times to stop that. If this weren't a longstanding pattern I'd probably have reacted differently, but it is a longstanding pattern, so please fix it.
A few points.

1. Looking at the Java bytecode is practically meaningless, you would have to look at the machine code the JIT is creating.

2. A division by 2 is identical to a shift right by 1 only if the integer is unsigned. Java integers are signed. Try this program in C to see for yourself:

int foo(int a) { return a/2; }
int bar(int a) { return a>>1; }

Run gcc -S -O2 to get assembly output in text form.

Basically, the problem is this:

5/2 -> 2 (ok, rounds down)

5>>1 -> 2 (ok, same)

-5/2 -> -2 (ok, rounds down)

-5>>1 -> -3 (oops!)

3. The question is really about the JIT backend for the target platform, which means CPU platform, not OS platform. So "on Android" does not make much sense here, as Android exists for x86 and ARM and those JIT backends might behave differently.
Hey HN, we're officially launching InterviewPlanner today! It's a platform that integrates with Greenhouse ATS, G Suite, and Zoom to help recruiting teams schedule faster so that they can reduce the time-to-hire and ensure that candidates don't slip through the cracks. At our previous company, we realized how long it took for recruiting coordinators to find an optimal time that worked for the candidate and all of the different interviewers, and we knew that it could be better. Let us know your thoughts and questions in the comments!
I'm stuck at home with a dog/puppy and no way to escape without having to tend to it every 2 hours. Personally I don't mind it, because I enjoy spending time with my dog, but the business might.

It breaks concentration and deep work.

By my own estimates, I'm about 40-50% as productive as I was in the office.
Waterfall was the dominant model of software engineering up until the late 1990s. It is how managers want software (and projects generally) to work. I promise, it was real! Back then, a quarterly release cycle was fast; 12-18 months was more common. With the rise of the Internet, everybody knew that couldn't work, but didn't know what to do, so there was a lot of experimentation in the late 1990s: Scrum, FDD, Crystal, Extreme Programming, and more I've forgotten or that were never named.

Out of this chaos, eventually came order. It turns out what mattered most in practice, just like before, was pleasing managers and executives. Effectiveness was generally secondary. So what we ended up dominating is Scrum, the most waterfall of Agile processes. Most shops "doing Agile" these days are still following a top-down, control-oriented, ineffective and unrealistic process, just like before. But now they use Agile labels for their mostly-unchanged process, albeit with a faster release cadence.
I am continually shocked by how good this is! The translations feel as though they could have been written by human. They aren't well-written, per se, but miles ahead of what I get from Google Translate!

I could easily see myself reading a book translated this way, or having an enjoyable conversation with someone who speaks a foreign language.

The languages they support is still somewhat limited, but they appear to have recently added Chinese and Japanese, which didn't use to be there. Although I don't think it works quite as well as the latin-based languages like German.

Seconding this - I would add that the entire debate at Lacedaemon (book 1 67-88) and Pericles' Funeral Oration (book 2 34-46) are especially illuminating. The funeral oration is one of the surviving accounts of Athenian democracy from an indirect viewpoint, and Thucydides presents an interesting comparison between death by battle vs. death by plague (timely perhaps?).

I would think nothing of someone taking 6 months off. The only reason I've never done it myself on my own volition is that a good opportunity has never presented itself. Aside from one time I was laid off, I've had a job offer in hand before leaving an employer. And that one time I didn't, I got a quick job offer in the middle of the dot-com blowup so it certainly wasn't a good time to travel the world.

Call the time bound c|x|^k, where x is the input and c and k are constants.

I see what point you're making, and I agree that you get yourself a nice, merely coNP-complete problem if you're willing to cut off the space of inputs at a point by enforcing a constant time bound or whatever. More than anything, this kind of argument makes me shudder at just how hard the very worst stuff in NP must be.

This service absolutely is for people like my father and people who are not like my father. A shitty user experience that is totally solvable is the problem. He's also immunocompromised with congestive heart failure and high blood pressure. Due to this terrible user experience, he's forced to leave his home to go to the supermarket in person when he's one of the people that should not be leaving his home.

A good solution is the FIFO queuing system that Ticketmaster uses for ticket sales or the one that Yelp uses for first-come-first-serve restaurants like Nojo in Hayes Valley, SF.

Let people sign up for slots, put their name on a list, and prompt them to choose slots as they come up. This can also be used to prevent people from getting two slows back to back before someone else gets their shot if you make it so they can only sign up again after their name has been called and they've gotten a slot.
Well put. I am amazed at the replies to your comment.

My thoughts are, it's all about accountability. Good development and, more broadly, learning, rely on effective feedback loops. "Did it work? Y/N and why?" repeated over and over.

When you blur accountability in an effort to be empathetic, it messes with this loop. You've changed the definition of "it" to not be fully what was in your control, and then as a result don't have a clear action you can take to do better next time. This, to me, is how you wind up with 10 1 year experiences.

To summarize, even if a bug is only 10% your fault, be accountable for it, because that's a clear signal towards something you can improve. Accountability doesn't mean falling on some sword, you can also own improving the things that lead you to make this mistake. The difference is, you're taking action to improve things, versus distributing blame (which I find often leads to "what can you do" type mentalities, leaving all the broken things there for the next unlucky person)

I had no idea about the businesses that are part of this word until we had to start hunting for bread flour and ended up finding:

1/ our city has an industrial wheat varietal breeder that makes a novel new brand based on Paragon,

2/ it also happens to be grown on an organic farm just west of us,

3/ and is milled and distributed by a nationwide famous windmill about 20 minutes to the north east.

It’s a whole little world of actually quite new tech in the area I had no idea existed, with this weird overlap with technology hundreds and thousands of years old.

http://www.cppgm.org/ was a sort of experiment called "C++ Grand Master Certification." It seems to have died out, but the goal was to produce a self-hosted C++-11 compiler and standard library implementation. It took about a year to go from nothing to code generation in 9 programming assignments (I think I completed the first 6 before I got too busy to continue).
Save me from prescriptivists in all things. We should just accept that all taxonomies have weak boundaries and move on with our life. "I know it when I see it" is a fine answer for something like this.

Is there ever a situation that you'll have to deal with where a matter of life-and-death hinges on a definitional absurdity like this? Is there a situation where anything at all hinges on this, except someone says "let's play a game" and you suggest Legos and they say "technically that's not a game" and then you stop talking to that person?
I'd argue you care about human life less than you think I do. Lockdowns are not about saving lives, you know that right? It's about making it take longer to kill who it is going to kill -- not overwhelming the hospitals.

It doesn't change the actual number of people killed by the virus, at all. That is to say, regardless of the shape of the curve, the area under the curve remains the same.

And economic depressions kill people too, in fact in far greater numbers than this virus has, yet. You don't seem to care about those lives either.

That's the problem with having a comfortable life. You don't see the consequences of your choices. I live in a place where I see people suffering and starving because they live hand to mouth and can no longer make the $2-$3 dollars a day it takes to keep them alive. They can't go out on the street to sell food. They can't make their few cents helping cars in and out of parking lots. They can't open their "shop" the size of a porta-potty in order to sell a few shirts. And when these conditions spread, crime and death spread with them. I've started to give away what food I can just to try to help whoever I can.

All the while, cozy HN commenters who earn $250,000 USD a year pontificating about whether we should shut off the entire planet for 18 months or more because it doesn't affect them one tiny little damn.

Nobody arguing for that point of view gives a shit about human life, they want control, plain and simple.

If store brands weren't crushing the generics market, I expect we'd see a lot more of them. I mostly shop at a non-chain store, and just like a chain there are heavily-marketed brands and value-focused brands. Especially in the age of detailed online reviews, I think there's a lot of room for brands that focus on basic value.

Great advice.

I see a lot of people in tech with inflated ideas of what success means, and they're almost all tied strictly to salary/net worth.

Yeah, having money is nice, but if that's all you base happiness/idea of success on, its going to be a bumpy road.

>There are a lot of self-conscious IT people in the midwest making $70k/year feeling like failures

I understand how this can point of view can develop, but one of the things I'm most grateful for in life is struggling through a slew of minimum-wage jobs out of college before transitioning into tech. That first bump to "tech salary" literally doubled my income over night and it was only 70k in a high COL east coast city. I learned how to live poor, and discovered I could still have a meaningful life while being broke.

Although I still pursue career advancement, it's not just for money. And if it were to all disappear over night (which is the case for a lot of people right now), I'm comforted by the fact that I've already had it "that bad".

From what I understand, in at least some areas of the world the mill was a service model, not a manufacturing model.

You'd bring your grain in, they would mill it, and keep a fraction of the product as a fee. Sure, they're still selling flour for goods and services, but it's a fraction of the volume versus buying grain and selling flour.

The overhead is tiny, but the distribution area is, too.
They do make them extremely difficult to buy on their website and the linux offerings are generally more expensive when you do find them. Maybe that makes sense in some spreadsheet somewhere that takes long term support into account but when I look at a the same laptop, on with windows and one with linux. When the one with linux is $400 more, it's pretty clear that what the company wants to sell.

But peroxide is not just some random thing like bleach. It's generated internally from superoxide dismutase in the normal process of scavenging radicals and is also an immune signalling mechanism. As mentioned, it is reduced by a reaction catalyzed by peroxidase so the body "knows" how to shunt it around safely and reduce it when necessary. It's perfectly safe in appropriate dilution on scrapes, cuts etc. The key is not to overwhelm the antioxidant defenses. Lung tissue is much more delicate, but it's not ridiculous to suggest that a very low concentration might be worth testing.
The argument isnt that they are a monopoly, its that they are either violating antitrust law, or antitrust law is currently unsuited to handle what amazon is doing. People just mistakenly use the word monopoly to mean antitrust or anticompetitive. It's also less about amazon just being an ecommerce box store, and more about having captured aspects of horizontal and vertical integration across many markets.

C-style casts in C++ are a sledgehammer. You will get an object of the cast type afterwards, but it may not happen the way you thought it would. That's why it's better to use the C++ casting constructs. If you try, say, a static_cast, and that's not possible, the compiler will tell you that in an error message. Then you're forced to reason through why it's not possible, and what you need to do about it.

'It was just a joke, bro' has to be the lamest excuse.
I've been reading the Incerto series by Nassim Taleb and he talks quite frequently about nonlinearities and their outsize impact.

He mentions how a friend of his saw how during the Gulf War, everybody had planned for the war to increase the price of oil. So his friend bet against everybody else. Turns out, everybody was stockpiling oil due to the war, and given how short it was, there was an oil glut afterwards. His friend turned $300,000 into $18M.

It's difficult to work for a FAANG and become wealthy, as in move between socioeconomic classes. You have to play politics and become fragile in your building of human relationships, which can fall apart much more quickly than your competence as a software engineer (barring a brain aneurysm or a TBI, where you have much more pressing problems).

If you bet that the stock market would absolutely tank by end of March, and acted on that impulse financially, you would be wealthy today. Renaissance Technologies rose 39% and is having one of their best years ever. It's not secret, exclusive knowledge. I started taking health precautions two weeks before the crash. I didn't act financially, because I honestly didn't think of it, and because I don't like the principle of shorting the market and betting against my country and my people.

My takeaway isn't go on wallstreetbets and attempt to yolo my way through life. My takeaway is people who bet on linearities are much more similar than you think. $300K, $70K, does it really matter? In the grand scheme of things, you're still a peon either way. You're a middle class guy, with little influence on Capitol Hill and less access to PPE and ventilators, high taxes, one primary income stream, and still trade time for money instead of building capital and having money work for you.

So if you feel down, keep a good head on your shoulders, don't despair, and consume as much information as you can on a regular basis. If you want to, look for ways to benefit from nonlinearities. And if you do make it, be a humanist and don't forget to give back to the people who raised you and taught you and care for you.
