The thing that makes the redbook special in my opinion is that the editors have been able to apply their research to solve actual problems for paying customers! You don't get to see enough of that in academia.
No, it benefits you too. By just holding an index fund you are freeloading on all of their work. You get efficient allocation while doing and paying virtually nothing.

I think people misunderstand how great and powerful index funds are for retail investors. Moreover, I people massively overhype this alternative data thing. Using alternative data to generate alpha is mindbogglingly difficult. If you just buy from a 3rd party firm, most likely all the alpha has been sucked up. So you need to source it yourself, clean it, analyze it, etc etc. It's really fucking difficult, and very expensive.

Trust me, you're not missing out. Your index fund is probably beating the returns of many firms with billions of dollars in capital and dozens of research analysts.
Another way to look at it is that you'll be a new CS graduate with some good practical experience under your belt (many CS graduates can't say the same). I guess you would be in a similar category as other peers that do internships, though IMHO if your company does as well as you expect it to, your experience is much stronger. Maybe you don't even need the job after all?

That being said, focus on getting your degree. That piece of paper has a good deal of intrinsic value.
Hello, I have more than a decade experiences in startups: small, medium and big. If i can wrap it up, think that startup provides the best slingshot to your life journey if you ride the momentum in the right time.

There no time standard whether one, two or six years is the right amount to spend in a single startup. All you need is see your growth as your indicator. If your startup revenue growth is linear, but your own personal growth is sky-rocketing, that's mean you should stay.

The company will have exponential growth if the team inside grow in explosive way.
TwilioQuest was built by the developer evangelism team (which is in the marketing org), not by regular development teams (who probably helped a little here and there, of course). Our development teams are more than 100% busy on product work, don't worry.

Unfortunately, throw a fit is the tip of the iceberg. You see, instead of watching the news, I've been speaking with people, and not online. Some people are starving. Some people are afraid of starving shortly. Some people are being evicted. Some people are about to be evicted. There is currently an international once-in-a-lifetime (hopefully) plague. Some people didn't receive their stimulus checks. Some people didn't get unemployment when they got fired. Some people live in states where max unemployment is $365/week, but like ~$60/week if you were minimum wage. This some people number is approaching a critical mass.

Then cops are killing people.

Are people meant to keep their minds? If ethical behavior is material, then are we not incentivizing unethical behavior by not providing the means to basic material when it is well within our own means to do so? And what king-of-kings thrives clad in white, righteous anger against the unethical? If we chastise those in pain, we will all know despair.
I don't think you understand what insider trading is. You can trade on information other people don't have all day long. In fact, that's what a good market is for. What you're not allowed to do is steal other people's information and use that to trade.

Thank you, you royal plunderers.
I think it’s good to understand why compilers emit these.

The dominant reason is: it saves registers. X86 is register starved even in 64-bit mode. Just 16 regs means shit gets spilled. If you also needed a tmp reg for each memory access, the way that makes things slower is that it causes spills - usually elsewhere - that wouldn’t have been there if the address was computed by the instruction.

It helps that CPUs make these things fast. But it can be hard to prove that using the addressing mode is faster in the absence of the register pressure scenario I described.

Maybe not using it? At that price, you aren't getting a dedicated 10gbps line to anywhere else than your ISP (and still...), afterward it's shared by everyone else. Using that bandwidth fully is not only going to make it not worthwhile to offer this service to people, it's also going to impact the service of others. Use it for what you would be normally using it, don't make up some usage for it, just to use it.
How can you ignore the fact that the vast majority of protestors have been peaceful and that using the military to subdue the rioters means that they will crack down mostly on the protestors?
I don’t think 4 million will be a verifiable number, but the wiki on Iraq war details somewhere in the half a million via various examinations:

> Aside from wrapped text, this graphical layer could be pure SVG + CSS&JS. Why constrain designers to little CSS hack triangles and circles when there's an almost limitless vector graphics technology available instead?

Could you expand on what you'd gain that isn't being done already? I'm not following what you mean here.

Web developers already use SVG for complex vector illustrations + some JS or CSS to animate the SVGs, coupled with CSS for simple shapes (like circles + rounded rectangles with shadows), and CSS for responsive layouts (SVG doesn't have anything similar to CSS in terms for responsive logic or layout logic as far as I know).

This works well enough, and for example you can replicate most UIs you'd see on different platforms without getting too crazy. I feel most UIs people want to build just really are composed of mostly rectangles, oval and circle, some layering and some shadows - CSS alone is decent at this.

As did the Turkic-Islamic colonizers before the British (you won't hear this for obvious PC reasons). If India has half the understanding that China has, one wonders how it'll handle its 'millennium of humiliation'... of course that tells you how backstabbing, orwellian and dim-witted India's elites are.
The scale of misinformation reminds me a lot of the media coverage of the pre-tanks weeks of the tiannamon square protests, and that scares me.
> How do you start? Agatston told me to start by skipping one meal a day, usually breakfast. (Yes, you can have black coffee in the morning, into which he adds ghee, a type of clarified butter, and coconut oil to reduce hunger pangs. It’s not your typical cup of coffee.)

This may be ok to start with, though black coffee by itself has the ability to kill hunger without these crutches.

Adding ghee or coconut oil in black coffee means it’s no longer effectively zero calories, and this is not technically fasting. Same with adding sugar to it. You can skip breakfast and have black coffee, black or herbal teas and water — all these are effectively zero calories.

One point this article doesn’t address in the 16:8 scheme is the frequency of eating within the eight hour eating window. Is it ok to have three meals and snacks within that window? Should it be two meals with a good gap between them? I’m sure these variations also determine if it works for weight loss or other benefits.

Intermittent fasting with 16:8 makes it easier to consume lower calories. Weight loss typically follows if activity levels are maintained the same or increased (to compensate for a lower basal metabolic rate).
It would be really cool to have an allow-plaintext-only option (and monospaced font).

I know it’s probably too late for this, and I’m probably in the minority wanting this, but markdown is too complicated for my note-taking.

Stratix 10 is an absolutely enormous FPGA (10FLOPS) so I'm guessing wow-factor rather than ease of use.
This is a meaningless comment.

You can mark assets on a spreadsheet, plot profits on a graph, and the result is simply a representation of the abstract concept: finances.

When you factor intent, then money becomes objective. When you factor the ethics of the entity using financial influence, then the result is objective because it affects the real world.

I don't know how else to explain this, and maybe I can't convince you, but real people are affected by these choices.

Profits are never a meaningful metric precisely because they can't be divorced from ethics.

Michael Stonebraker has an interesting set of conclusions in his assessment of the MapReduce vendor market in 2015 from the "Dataflow" chapter here:

"- Just because Google thinks something is a good idea does
not mean you should adopt it.

- Disbelieve all marketing spin, and figure out what benefit
any given product actually has. This should be especially
applied to performance claims.

- The community of programmers has a love affair with “the
next shiny object”. This is likely to create “churn” in your
organization, as the “half-life” of shiny objects may be quite
short."

> US law is not supposed to apply abroad

That's what the "Imperialism" monkier that a lot of "enemies of the USA" coin means. The Megaupload guy, a guy from Australia, Hew Raymond Griffiths (copyright infrignment... really?) and Gary McKinnon (admin/admin Windows machines).

On this day an age, the majority of countries will bow to the USA and give anything the country asks for. Few countries are really independent and would dare to stand up even for their own citizens. It is sad, but countries like Russia and China doing "what is right" to balance that sort of power is a scary situation where we have arrived.

Exactly what I was trying to say but in much better words.
> I'd really love to see a comparison between 1) the $1MM bill 2) the "actual" negotiated money that changes hands 3) what it would cost in other countries with different healthcare systems.

For example: Blood products in general (medication developed by publicly traded companies and formally approved by governmental bodies), which are regularly required for some rare diseases, generally cost around twice as much in the US compared to the rest of the developed world that has universal healthcare (excluding Switzerland).

I have 2 rare immune-mediated neurological diseases affecting my peripheral nervous system, and I require a self-administered blood product to quite literally, stay alive. It is called subcutaneous immunoglobulin. It is the only treatment that has ever worked: I have tried about 10 different medications, plus combinations of them, to no avail.

Anyways, the cost of this blood product (immunoglobulin--both intravenous and subcutaneous forms) in developed countries that have universal healthcare (excluding Switzerland and the US) is 40 Euro per gram. Right now, the exchange rate, Euro to US Dollar is 1 Euro per 1.13 US Dollar. So, currently, this blood product costs about USD $45.01 per gram.

My US-based private medical insurance, pays for this medication at a contracted rate of USD $100 per gram. The provider (the billing party) is a very well known Pharmacy Benefits Management company, and bills for the medication at a rate of USD $500 per gram.

I take very close to 250 grams per month of subcutaneous immunoglobulin.

Let's do the math:

What my insurance pays to the provider every month, for the blood product, via claims filed over the past 2 years = ($100/gram)(250 grams/month) = USD $25,000/month

What the provider bills, and what I could theoretically owe, if something goes wrong = ($500/gram)(250 grams/bill) = USD $125,000 per bill

So, if for some reason a mistake is made, with respect to honoring a prior authorization, I can literally end up with a bill over USD $100,000 for a "one month's supply" of medication, with no resolve.

What a government in Europe (excluding Switzerland) pays per month for the medication (and I never have to worry about owing) = ($45.01/gram)*(250 grams/month) = USD $11,252.50/month

Editorialized title.

The tweet relates to one person's experience, and some rumors, as specified in the tweet: "...rumors around the #ExecutiveOrder banning #H1B holders from re-entry"

My reading of the series of tweets suggests they were denied based on existing COVID-19 travel restrictions. I'm unaware if holding an h-1b is a pass to allow you to bypass those restrictions.
Will take a look thanks!
The article's thesis: "Microsoft has deemed C++ no longer acceptable...needs to move...best choice on the market today is rust".

If moving away from C/C++ to something, C and C++ are out of the running. You can claim that they should still be considered, but they've been around a long time and people have tried very hard to make them safer. There's been some success, but there's not a lot of evidence that real C/C++ codebases will become dramatically safer in the next 5 years. It looks like some people are looking pretty hard at alternatives.

Ada and fortran are both older than C++, so it is not clear that there ever was or ever will be a lot of net movement from C++ to either of those unless something exciting happens. It would be cool if Ada did get more appealing for C++ migrations, but I just don't see it happening.

That leaves D and Rust. Apparently a lot of people think rust has the mix of excitement, community, and technology to make it happen. We don't know for sure, but it seems like a reasonable bet to make if you are trying to dislodge C++ due to frustrations about memory safety.

Weren't there tests back then that showed -Os was actually faster on a lot of modern CPUs? Something like more of the binary staying in CPU cache?
I didn't realize unix tools were this powerful. That's an amazing story.
Ugh. Spec2006 is energy efficiency estimate, an Intel and AMD CPU with 45+w at their disposal and thermal headroom will look very different with server and workstation workloads if it was possible to run meaningful server/workstation benchmarks against Apple's CPUs that is - and the full AT comment is -

"This year, the A13 has essentially matched best that AMD and Intel have to offer – in SPECint2006 at least."

So yeah your comment is business as usual for Apple fan - taking comments and benchmarks out of context, comparing apples to oranges and just being generally dense to support some narrative. I.E. Nothing closer to the reality of having ARM CPUs beat AMD or Intel if I wanted to build a server or workstation or even a big powerful laptop with not optimized for email and browsing battery life.
Nope, we will hire you. (julien at serpapi.com)
As other replies to this comment describe, we make heavy use of opaque types where runtime enforcement of safety is need. Some examples: PositiveFloat, PositiveDecimal, NonEmptyMap, NonEmptySet, NonEmptyList, KeyedSet.

Ask HN: Best tool/technology to create web applications in 2020
I am primarily a backed-end developer (Java). I want to create a simple web application. Have not zeroed in on the server side stack. Most likely it will be node.js. I am clueless on the UI technology/tool to generate layout/flow etc. Which are the best/simple tools to create UI in 2020?. Should I be using CMS like keystonejs, strapi etc?
Yeah, when I say 2D I mean vector art. There are a lot of things under the heading of 2D rendering, such as blitting raster sprites, that are much closer to being solved problems. (Though you might be surprised--power concerns, coupled with greatly increased pixel density, have brought renewed attention to performance of blitting lately...)
My experience with 16:8 IF has been almost similar. I skip breakfast too, and found that to be the easiest to follow with a black coffee (very light by normal standards). I can’t tell either if it works to provide any claimed benefits. But I’m used to it and psychologically feel better, especially not eating for several hours before bedtime.

I attribute the weight loss I experienced to cutting out processed foods and cutting out oils (I do consume these once in a while, and when I do the scales show me I’ve fallen off the tracks).
It feels strange to question what's partisan about cronkite's statement on an article highlighting instances where positions didn't pass a party's smell test.

Ideally a concept like "getting out of the war" could be a non partisan concept. Back then perhaps, but in 2020 definitely, there's no room for that. Maybe because of the internet, maybe because of cable news, I dunno, but even a single stated position plops you on the right or left in America. Sure it's not ideal but it's reality.

If only Republicans knew how many American communists were pro-armed-populace. If only it were possible to be conservative and reconcile your preference for self sufficiency and blue collar values with the ideals of people living on a commune, or the Green and Sustainability movements. But no, Climate Change is Fake News and Guns Are Bad. Full stop.

> Cotton called for force against “lawbreakers”, not “protestors”

I don't care.
I live in one of these so-called riot zones and my company's office was looted.
I do not want active duty soldiers pointing weapons of war around my neighborhood for any reason.
Especially with how municipal police forces have dealt with (and escalated) these situations.
I'll not have my home treated like a failed state or enemy war zone.

How many leaders of the regions affected by the looting rallied to this call?
None.
How many military leaders did Cotton call upon to support his case?
None.
How many of those affected by the lawbreaking does Cotton represent?
A vanishing fraction.

Taibbi thinks hes being clever splitting hairs but he's missed the whole point.
Cotton's repugnant article was an obvious partisan hack job, a towing of the Trump line, dogwhistles included.
In the NY Times' own words, the article lacked basic fact checking and did not meet the paper's editorial standards- Bennet very obviously fucked up in the loudest possible way.
