This is true. As far as I understand, the only issue with memory leaks have been around super long running processes that create cyclical references that cause refcounting to not "notice" that something is free. I have never had a memory leak problem with a web service, and I wrote* the PHP backend for Grooveshark (45 million monthly users, averaging 2 hours per visit, running on half a dozen front end web servers. Sadly I don't remember RPS figures at this point)

*not to take sole credit. I created RPC framework and initial API, and oversaw a small team of very talented engineers who added a significant chunk of the functionality powering Grooveshark over the years
Colorization is far from perfect indeed. I'm not sure how they model the temporal dimension (recognizing the same object in the prev/next frame and painting it of the same color - unless it has to be different because of shadows, lighting change, etc.) in these neural nets, does anyone know?
SuperShuttle was bleeding money from subsidizing fares to compete with ride sharing and shrunk 30% YoY for 3 years straight. The SuperShuttle that you see is now just a brand facade and the original business is on a feeding tube.

Insurance is the opposite of a lottery. If you think buying lottery tickets are a waste of money because you lose out in the long run, the same argument should lead you to think having insurance is a good thing.
As long as I can turn off this AWS nonsense, I will be too. I really want to own a Lexus at some point but it's out of my pay grade currently. Lexus are also top quality as well.
I think it's similar in Pennsylvania where I grew up. The small groupings within a township (or that can straddle townships) are apparently officially census designated places according to Wikipedia. But the same articles seem to refer to them colloquially as towns or villages interchangeably. I'm pretty sure we called them towns when I was growing up.

There is quite a variation of governmental divisions within the US and what's important or even what exists in one state or region may not be so in another state or region. And informal nomenclature varies as well.

French has multiple words historically (impots, taxes, charges) with subtle differences in meaning. However they've not been observed strictly in a long long time. It's all money taken out of the employee pocket at the end of the day.

In English it's all translated to "tax" and rightfully so. English languages and cultures don't have subtle semantics like French does. For example everything in the UK is a tax, corporation tax, income tax, council tax, etc... (one exception being the UK national insurance).

php-fpm is typically configured to restart those processes after some number of requests, just in case there is such a leak. But I have not seen those leaks happen between process restarts, state is still wiped clean between requests, so leaks should be rare/difficult and probably most likely the result of faulty extensions.

The thing that struck me was the lack of traffic jams on the section over the street, compared to today's Wuppertal.

What happened to all the traffic? Okay, that's easy: population increased.

But before I accept that as an answer, I want to know how a city with population low enough to have essenstially no traffic managed to have enough ability to construct and run such a difficult traffic project? Whereas today, given a town with the same size and amount of trafic as 1902 Wuppertal, the towns I know tend to close bus lines instead of maintaining regular ones.

I have a sad hunch this has something to do with cars and no one caring, but can't really come up with anything real.

> The problem is you can only slow down if everyone else does too

That's a myth propagated by people with a stake in the pie. Nature shows us that you only need to be hyper-efficient and in a constant arms race if you're competing for the same resources.

Otherwise, you can adopt an opportunistic survival strategy that trades efficiency for variety and a diversity of useable resources.

Of course, efficiency is the only option when there are companies trying to grab all the resources available, as in our current business setting. But that's definitely not a healthy environment.
Yeah honestly I just scroll right past them. I use telegram for my "Can you pick up some bananas on the way home?" messages. If I ever had a confidential tip for some investigative journalist I'd use signal. But it gets annoying if every post with the word "telegram" in the title gets the same "But signal is more secure!" response unrelated to the content of the article.
Even allowing for the fact some Belarusians have multiple mobile phone numbers, as do some people who aren't eligible to vote for perfectly normal reasons, it's quite telling that somebody polled twice as many votes on a communication channel compared with the official 'count'.
> Facebook can't read your WhatsApp messages

Are we sure it can't? Because WhatsApp is closed-source, its GDrive backups are unencrypted and Facebook's whole profit model is based around snooping. Unless they make the app open-source, I'm not trusting them even with a grocery list. People act like E2E is the be-all and end-all but trusting an incredibly shady company on its word is not something I'm comfortable with.
Pace is relative and I think teams will generally average out in terms of pace. Finding a pace that fits you and your style would be an essential factor in having better work efficacy. My boss works really fast, works constantly and is probably a workaholic, a pace which I can not and will not try to match, so I have to work at my own pace and this throws off how project planning goes because the PMs are used to his pace and don't give me an optimal amount of time on projects, so I will find myself rushing which of course makes me feel bad and triggers my impostor syndrome. Eventually this pace will break down and become unmanageable for me and I'll have to quit, which will hurt their production even more.

Pace and efficiency are definitely linked, but I don't necessarily know that I think faster = more efficient. And there are folks mentioning stability, also definitely linked here, but i think max efficiency would lean more into stability than pace.

Linking pace with efficiency also seems to create the idea that "faster will be the winner" which, you know, that's a whole thing, introducing competition in an arguably healthy way.

I generally tend to find that emotion will usually come before logic. Building something that could be considered efficient, but a feeling says "This could be more efficient" and then logic jumps in and does the work.

Just some stream of consciousness writing here, food for thought maybe, or extremely poor quality ideas!
Ask HN: How did you escape tutorial hell?
Currently experiencing it with Django. Am a undergrad "data scientist" and trying to build up more theoretical/statistical knowledge on the side, however I am a non-CS major and completely self-taught so I haven't built up many end-to-end applications; I would say that I am a decent programmer but I haven't learnt how to use heavy duty frameworks as of yet. With Django I can make basic stuff but I HAVE to be following a tutorial. After my exams I was thinking of making a basic CRUD social media app with Django/Vue but I can't figure out all the steps (even after intensive googling, the issue is I'm trying to look for tutorials for literally everything and that is not ideal; I can't do anything by myself). Any tips?

I'd honestly be quite surprised if AI research discovers novel and useful dogfight tactics.

> I am still very suspicious at how he managed to flout around Kremlin for so long.

His first successful project (VK) was founded and gained popularity partially using money of really weird investors some of whom were related to Kremlin.

Also keep in mind that Russia was just a kleptocracy until around 2008-2010 and only after 2012 when Putin decide to get back presidency everything started to go really sour. So it's not surprise they taken control of the company away from him shortly after.

There's an engineering version of "stable" that might be useful here to draw lines between the three or so different concepts being discussed. A "stable" system is one that will return to the same resting state when perturbed. One can have "equilibrium" in an unstable system, e.g. balancing a broomstick on one's hand, but the system will not return to that equilibrium if perturbed.

They speak of

"a 300,000-year decline in biodiversity leading up to the Devonian-Carboniferous mass extinction"

Is this a real thing? I ask, because paleontologists have had a bad record of interpreting statistical samples around an event. I.e. misinterpreting the mean interval between the last recorded fossil before an event as evidence of 'gradual extinction'.
Yeah I don't think NIMBYism took off until a couple decades later. Either way, this is a very impressive engineering achievement for 1902. They probably imagined that all cities would implement something like this. I rather like the design. It is steampunk.

One of my favorite quotes on this topic comes from Aurelius' description of his adopted father in Meditations.

[Y]ou would never say of him that he "broke out a sweat": but everything was allotted its own time and thought, as by a man of leisure - his way was unhurried, organized, vigorous, consistent in all.

I feel like I spend a lot of time rushing from one thing to the next, constantly questioning whether I'm spending time wisely. And then I end up accomplishing less because I lack focus in one area. I've instead been trying to relax, slow down, and take tasks one at a time until completion. I'd also recommend Cal Newport's book, Deep Work, on this.
The very definition of stable is "not changing".

Running an old, battle hardened kernel that gets the occasional bug fix/security patch is about as stable as you can get in software.
The colloquial words may not be the best. It seems like it's a distinction between optimizing things for which there is essentially no meaningful downside except maybe a bit of thought and time. Versus setting things up so that they're the most efficient system in the current environment but may not handle unexpected events well and therefore might not be the best choice.

> Why don’t research groups just publish to their own websites or directories like arxiv?

Depending on the field, this is often the case. Here are some examples from both of the labs I'm in, with PDFs available:

https://stanford.edu/~boyd/papers.html

https://nqp.stanford.edu/journal-publications

(I also post the PDFs and links to code on my website, as well.)

> What’s the role of an academic journal in 2020?

Partly peer review, partly signaling game, and partly exposition/advertisement/reach of papers. Those are, of course, all intimately linked in scientific fields.

> I’d love to see more blogging from hard science academics

I think a lot of them have taken the Twitter route! There are a few who also have their own somewhat-updated blogs (myself included).

> I’m wondering if there’s a reason why that’s challenging or if it’s just academic culture.

The problem is kind of general, though: (a) writing good, useful blog posts takes a long time, especially when attempting to distill the topic even further for a general audience, and (b) writing (good) papers really does take a long time. (Of course, there are many, many poorly-written papers, but, unless the results are truly incredible, almost nobody spends time deciphering them.)

For example, I think I'm a fairly fast/decent academic writer, yet on a given paper, I spend roughly half of the time doing research and the other half of the time finding the right presentation/abstraction to present, along with writing and editing a given exposition to make it clear and legible. Any given paper will take me ≥20 total hours in structuring, writing, and editing (not including research hours). Reviews can take ≥40.
I doubt it's your own problem. The thing about methodologies like DDD and Agile is that they're not just a development practice. They're also (in my opinion much more importantly) frameworks for how the entire company interacts with the dev team.

I see them fail more often than not, too, and one thing that's consistent about every failed implementation I've witnessed first-hand is that non-developers who are involved in or influence product development weren't engaged with, bought into, or properly trained in the framework.
This screen is a different kind than you are used to. The pixels actually wear out after a remarkably small number of changes (~10k). So "60Hz" doesn't mean much. It can update the small number of pixels you actually want changed pretty quickly, but it takes a noticeable fraction of a second. The key is changing only those and leaving all the rest the hell alone.

Running Gnome on it is possible. But you do not want to.
Wow, gross post. Here is a quote:
"you can't educate greater than 25 years old people"
"The medium is the message"

In fact it is a Telegram revolution, because Telegram is the tool that is allowing this rage to become organized. That doesn't minimize anything about the protesting or the political situation itself. That's not marketing, it's just recognizing the tool.
Yes it's basically a myopic under-appreciation of the current system. I was guilty of that, many are I believe, we all strive for better but sometimes our perspective is off. (not to bring him up on every topic but Alan Kay said that perspective was worth a lot of IQ points)

Why? I'd think the whole point of insurance is that everyone (as an average) loses out in the long run?

And proxies. Telegram has great proxy support and virtually anyone can install their own MTProxy in 5 min.

A multitude of proxies, shadow optic cables over the border and a bit of whitelisting from the government to allow payment processing made Telegram invincible.
Pace layering is a very interesting idea here and is almost a conceptually musical composition kind of idea for me. Perhaps conducting working teams as an orchestra, each playing their part, would be an interesting management technique.

I think you have it backwards - insurance and lottery are (sort of) equal. In the long term, you'll lose money in the lottery. You'll also lose money paying for insurance.

If you have extraordinary "good luck", you may come out ahead in the lottery. And if you have extraordinary "bad luck" you may come out ahead in insurance.

Insurance of course has a more practical value, and a much better return on investment (even if it averages negative returns)
Atlanta wasn't built on its river but on a ridge a few miles away, so the Chattahoochee isn't something you think about. (Unless you have to commute across it, as I did back when commutes were a thing, and you realize that your route choices are seriously limited by that fact.) On the bright side a lot of the river has been preserved for recreation as a result.
The main "why" is a carbon-free fuel (when produced by solar) in a relatively dense form. Liquid ammonia has higher energy density than liquid hydrogen, is easier to store, and is already used a bulk chemical around the world. It also is more energy efficient than liquifying hydrogen.

If you imagined what oil would look like without carbon, ammonia is pretty close. The toxicity probably prevents cars and trucks from using ammonia, but for marine power or grid energy, it seems feasible.

Also, the co-combustion fuel can be supplied on-site by cracking the ammonia to hydrogen.

I was on the RustConf program committee in past years, but not this year.

Traditionally, the way that RustConf's program works is, keynote speakers are invited, everyone else goes through a blinded review process. I don't know for sure how it went this year, but one of the organizers did say "speakers were picked blind" on reddit.
You are entirely off on this. (Iranian born, with picture of Mossadeqh on my wall when I was a kid.)

Mossadeqh was a destabilizing actor, as a matter of fact. Also, this recent yet-again re-telling (adjusting) the story of the fabled '53 coup to "reinstall" the actual monarch of Iran is interesting. Many of us for years complained "why is the role of UK minimized and America vilified for this coup?". This was specially puzzling since it was the CIA and NYTimes that were screaming 'mea culpa'. Very strange.

And we now have the adjusted matter that says, "oh yea, the Brits were 'involed'". It's funny. Even now you don't have the facts, but no excuse for lack of knowledge.

You need to review Iran's political situation starting with invasion and occupation of neutral Iran by US, UK, USSR, up to the "reinstalling" of the Shah of Iran.

Pay special attention to the "stable" period featuring assassination of prime ministers by "Muslim Brotherhood" (UK "orientalist" spook outfit); attempts at 'liberating' North Western Iran by USSR; attempts on the life of the reigning (not governing) monarch; etc.

The counter-coup of '53 was a reaction by elements in Iranian society against other elements in Iranian society. The Western imperial interests of UK and 'cold war' interests of hegemon USA simply aligned with Nationalist Iranians who happened to be Royalists, or vehemently anti-Communist. That is all.

The 'National Front' of Iran needs to get over this emotional hangup over '53 and start telling the full truth. Their churlish attitude was certainly instrumental in letting the regressive Islamists hijack Iran and the "revolution" in '79. You would think they've finally learned the lesson but alas.
