It wouldn't be especially surprising to me.

JSON's parsing performance is difficult, whether or not the language doing the parsing is fast or not. There's a reason that there are almost always libraries claiming faster JSON performance, regardless of the language.

Go is marketed as a fast language, and they're still trying to build a high performance JSON parser [0].

Parsing JSON will always be slower than most of the alternatives.

> C has no pattern for breaking out of multiple for loops at the same time.

True, but it is cleaner to reorganize the code into several functions and use the return value to propagate across layers if needed. Performance should be the same.

Why? If there is a new/delete pair anywhere, it should have been an object.

> Game developers have a long-seated distrust of std::vector, and for good reasons.

Which reasons? std::vector (and std::unique_ptr) is universally useful (unlike many other std data structures) and codegen should be on par as a new/delete pair.

If the std is completely broken in some of the console platforms they need to support (likely from what I hear here) then it can also be done with a custom heap array wrapper.

So I don’t see the reason why that shouldn’t have been an object.
Two things:

1. Reducing caffeine intake. The science seems to be fairly conclusive that high caffeine intake is associated with bruxism.

2. Magnesium supplementation. Here the science is a bit less clear: I haven't found any study tying magnesium to bruxism, but there are studies correlating magnesium deficiency with conditions related to bruxism, such as anxiety and muscle tension. In any case I think the risks of magnesium supplementation are low.

I will say that my experience with grinding my teeth stopping was that it probably went away because of changes that were out of my control that made my life much less stressful. But those aren't much good as interventions.
It's not that cut and dry.

It is true that making a law is how you deal with the conflict between self interest and public interest.

However, if you make something illegal that people have a strong motivation to do, they may just keep doing it, only not as publicly. And in that case, the people who demand ransom will not be particularly discouraged. Their business may improve, because victims will have an incentive to keep the whole thing secret.

Think about how people worry that enforcing immigration laws will lead to violent crime being ignored.
> It's important to understand that the hate is not something that will go away after Trump but it will be replaced by hate for the next guy.

This seems to presuppose that all presidents are equal in terms of the acts they perform that generate hate or upset in the supporters of their political opponents.

I don’t think that is true. Not all presidents have been, or need to be, culture warriors.

Indeed, it would appear that Americans are way more united on a number of huge issues now more than ever: COVID response, racial equality, economic recovery.

Just based on circumstance, I think whoever next holds the office of POTUS, regardless of party, stands to polarize people less than they have been in the past due to the fact that many, many people are in agreement about federal government priorities right now.

That seems, to me, relatively unprecedented in recent times.

I’m not talking about conspiracy theories, just mundane things like like urban planning, real estate and industry lobbying, choices about policing and who makes them, I mean just check how many members of your local city council were funded by the chamber of commerce. There’s no conspiracy, it’s all done right out in the open. Why do we drive cars instead of taking mass transit everywhere? Because the big auto companies lobbied to make it that way. Why do real estate prices keep on rising? Because the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac interfere with loan pricing. You don’t think all this stuff just happens, do you? Most of the laws governing the financial sector were directly written by lobbyists working in that sector. Most of the new technology, the basic research that happens, is funded by the federal government. And then handed off to corporations in the private sector who happen to fund political campaigns. It’s not some secretive cabal or some silly thing like that. It’s just how business is done. The whole economy is like that. Somebody made each choice. It was somebody who had a stake in the outcome, somebody with money.

I guess it depends on the nature of the personal info. By this point a significant portion of the population's basic personal info is already out there. If we're talking detailed medical records, then sure, I might say "pay". But if it's names & SS#, I don't know.
Why, are you "asking for a friend"? :)
Because every x86_64 CPU supports SSE2, so compilers can assume it exists and the ABI passes floating point arguments in SSE2’s FP registers. This means that every sane compiler for x86_64 will use SSE2 and won’t use x87, and the problem won’t occur.

In contrast, the 32-bit C ABI passes floating point args in x87 registers, and there are 32-bit CPUs without SSE2, so x87 is used by default.

x87 is, in quite a few respects, awful.

To clarify I meant at the time of backup. When the data is being sucked out of the system to the backup they encrypt. All that requires is taking over the system pushing the data out to the backup for however long you want to deny backups. Obviously this requires not getting caught during that time, but the median time to discover a data breach is 279 days (~9 months) according to IBM [1] and this is actually easier to hide in many senses than a data breach since you are just messing with an existing data flow instead of trying to do the much more suspicious data exfiltration.

I think the best comparison for gay marriage is interracial marriage. If you are okay with interracial marriage legally, but personally oppose it, people will have a negative reaction to that sentiment. Likewise, people will have a negative reaction to your personal opposition to gay marriage in a similar way to the way they'd be disgusted by one's opposition to interracial marriage, no one is entitled to having their views accepted.

I think how people react to your positions is a very different discussion than the sociological and political questions we've discussed so far though.
I think you are right about independent scientists in some cases having a better view of the pandemic on the ground.

At the same time it's not clear independent health authorities are the solution. The problem we're facing with reopening is that we have to balance health outcomes with economic trade-offs to create a solution that maximizes both. In theory that's what we pay politicians to do, especially in democracies.

Yeah i can make my left side "click" by opening my mouth to it's widest. I got hit with a soccer ball directly at my chin in high-school. Been doing it since.

The only satisfying theory i got was the bone in the joint got chipped when it got injured. During the healing process it didn't grow back smoothly. So opening it to it's widest causes it pop like that.
Everybody knows that biologists are the ones doing real science. They look under microscopes and see how life works firsthand.

But any chemist will tell you that everything the biologists see is really down to chemical reactions, all those behaviors are the function of electrons being transferred and molecules changing shape. Yes, chemists are the ones doing real science. They weigh things, measure the temperature and pressure of their reaction vessels, and see the effects of all the chemicals that interact firsthand.

But any physicist will tell you that everything the chemists see are down to electrical interactions, they their chemical models are just the crude implementations of the laws of nature that only physicists understand, studying them in colliders and syncotrons and seeing the fundamental particles that make up the universe. Yes, everybody knows that physicists are the ones doing real science.

But any mathematician will tell you that the physicists simply take the most beautiful equations and strip away all the elegant details to a crude approximation, and say these basic objects represent well the simple experiments and measurements they do. Only mathematicians who understand the fundamental rules and symmetries of the universe can truly understand the universe through the study of equations that reflect how everything works. Yes everybody knows that mathematicians are the only ones doing real science.

But any Logician can tell you that a mathematician is just applying axioms and predicates willy nilly to get to some expression that piles together fundamental truths in such a spaghetti heap that the beauty of the real knowable rules of existence are lost. The mathematicians merely apply the findings of logicians to reach much more trivial and applied goals. Yes, logicians are the ones doing science.

But no. EVEN a biologist, knows, a logician does not do science.

The comment would make as much sense if it were made in December 2019 - it has nothing to do with the last few months.

The comment was also about engineering, not micromanaging. When a civil engineer designs a bridge to resist vibrations and avoid resonance, the civil engineer is not personally damping the bridge every time a car drives over. They've simply designed the bridge so it does what's wanted. There's no government central planner telling business what to do, but there are absolutely a number of government planners setting up the conditions under which businesses operate.

Yes. Cause was stomach gas. How can you belch when asleep? Not properly, at least in my case, and manifestation was bruxism.

Fix was of course, a change of eating habits. Specifically, to work around FODMAP intolerance.
It's been recently suggested to me by my psychiatrist that I take a sleep study. I know this might seem dumb, but my biggest hesitation is that the mere any of being watched by someone will make it extremely difficult for me to actually fall asleep. I generally have a tough time falling asleep outside of my comfort zone e.g. at a friend's place.

Was this a problem for you? I have a feeling a sleep medication would help with this but won't that interfere with the study?
Can you give examples? I see absolutely no indications that many countries are doing a good job containing the virus. Many are delaying its spread, but they are nowhere near containment; in fact when those countries that supposedly got the COVID under control lift restrictions the disease comes back. I do not see how containment is possible unless you institute a total lockdown and build perimeter around carriers, including those with no symptoms.

>> Are we going to force folks wear masks for a year? Outlaw all in person schools and university classes? All contact sports? Honest question.

I respect your opinion, but I would say "no, hell no, and hell no". Sooner rather than later your opinion and my opinion will have to be reconciled, perhaps not to a solution that makes everyone happy, but at least to a policy that is grudgingly acceptable to both camps.

You can make policy by force, which is what we have now, but such enforcement does not work long-term. You need wide buy-in, without which people quickly start breaking rules, en masse. Which is what we are already seeing in the US; just look at cars at open beaches with license plates from states that supposedly keep citizenry in quarantines.
Nah, mine is in Texas. But I'm sure we can probably apply the same story to hundreds of universities.
> or doing something irritating like reading bad docs

Not to make light of your situation, but this made me chuckle.

I think earlier in my programming career I suffered a lot of anxiety from imposter syndrome. Learning to let go of that gradually over time has me experiencing a lot less work related anxiety, but I can definitely relate to your experience.
Whats the most annoying question you get when you bring up this research paper?
Type C reduces people to the caricatures demonstrated in Type A and Type B?

Not that it's impossible that either type exists, but we know that plenty of drugs make it through the system and are regularly prescribed that nevertheless have non-trivial risks, so the idea that the FDA is only evaluating the downsides seems pretty limited in its explaining power.

And as posters frequenting HN should know, systems are hard. Good systems over a domain of any complexity aren't trivial even when incentives are aligned. Economic and political incentives in medical domains aren't always well-aligned.

I'm sure the FDA and industrial incentives could both be improved, but I think it's going to take sharper and more detailed insights than imagining a personality binary.
>The world becomes free of bribery. This proves that making paying bribes illegal works.

Have I misunderstood your tone here, or do you actually believe this? Because bribery is illegal, and happens all of the time. The few who get caught get in trouble. Heck, Goldman Sachs does it when it's needed to land deals! [0]

I imagine the same would happen if ransom for ransomware was made illegal. Thieves would wouldn't care, what they do is already illegal. If someone they infect with ransomware can't figure out how to get them their money, what do they care? I'm sure their profits would go down, but it wouldn't stop. If anything it might just drive them to hit many smaller targets to get through volume what they can no longer get through big hits.

It might make more sense if you think of "scripting language" as being a statement of intent than a technical classification. I have seen it used as a perjorative, which I agree is stupid.

More generally, performance, ease of programming, correctness, etc are goals, whereas typing systems and compilation strategies are techniques that can be used to reach those goals. "Axes" is probably overthinking it, as none of these criteria or properties are linear, but terms for all of them can be worthwhile if used to answer the right questions.

Since goals have a strong influence on technical properties, it's not completely crazy to summarize a language's technical features in terms of its goals. "Scripting language" makes sense as a description for languages that emphasize ease of programming (with overtones of interacting with a larger system) over other features. You also have a clue about a language called "high performance": probably not interpreted or dynamically typed (although exceptions include kdb, arguably Java and Julia).

Finally, not every term needs a rigorous definition in terms of more primitive terms. Sometimes you just need a name for a category that everyone kind of knows is there. This is probably the more realistic origin of the term, though I do think the underlying reason for that category existing is mostly the goal-driven one described in my previous paragraph.

Note: In the bit you quoted, I certainly didn't mean to say that "user friendly" was necessarily opposed to all those other goal properties. I was just trying to give examples of other things you might want to prioritize in a design.

> Doesn't explain the entire lack of tool marks, though.

Because they didn't use tools. I've watched telescope mirrors ground to incredible precision by hand, no tools.

Use rocks without embedded shells.

Use drills, clean up with files or blocking. Remember the Pharaohs had essentially infinite resources to do that for one box. He would have used the best masons, paid them well, and gave them the time they needed.

> why the tech for working the biggest rocks was lost

We can't know why, but the most plausible explanation is one that accounts for lost technology everywhere. People didn't have writing or didn't bother to write it down or lost the books.
I think the action taken with /r/thedonald contributed more to what you are warning against (echo chambers) [0].

And

"Others on Twitter have taken issue with Huffman's letter regarding Black Lives Matter as well, with the Twitter account for r/BlackPeopleTwitter quoting Reddit's tweet with an image of a Guardian headline that reads, "Open racism and slurs are fine to post on Reddit, says CEO."

>But it's not science

That's just not true. We are probing a novel domain.

In fact how else would you expect this to proceed? We've discovered a new phenomenon, which likely requires novel mathematics, yet through this exact kind of experimentation we are building the intuition that will guide more rigorous formalization later.

Sure, I get it, the quality on arxiv isn't the same as some physics journal; but to dismiss this as unscientific is not only wrong but very much unfair. I'm working the cutting edge at work, and we're documenting our discoveries as we map the structure of a new frontier - if that isn't science, I don't know what is.

tldr this is how science progresses in new domains before novel mathematics and formalisms are developed to address the new class of problems. This is a really exciting time if neural nets don't hit any serious blocks.

Edit: and by the way, my coworkers are all graduated educated scientists from various backgrounds. What else are they doing if not science?

It's pretty simple: Dark Matter can't be seen or felt. It probably just travels through regular matter without "colliding", muchlike neutrinos.

It only interacts with other matter through gravity.

Now, we can detect gravity, but only for fairly big and stationary objects. If DM is tiny particles travelling fast, we can only detect aggregate effects on galaxy level.

I don't know whether you've been told that lab tests are currently impractical or whether you're just assuming, but if it's the latter, I would definitely ask before assuming that they're impractical. Medical professionals are better equipped to keep you safe than your local supermarket, and it may be that the local sleep lab is nowhere near places treating covid patients. I haven't heard this specifically about sleep labs, but I've heard this from friends who were putting off a few other medical procedures and were advised not to by doctors. It's at least worth calling the sleep lab and finding out what protective measures they're taking.

It may be that you're well-informed already and it really is impractical, in which case I hope I didn't offend you. It's just that my impression is right now a lot of people are putting off treatment unnecessarily due to covid concerns.
