How has US debt grown under Trump’s presidency?
The coronavirus pandemic has caused the United States’ debt and deficit to reach unprecedented levels as federal rescue packages have attempted to save an economy that was shut down by the contagion.
On the other hand, once you've been doing this for a couple decades, have a family at home, hobbies, and are thinking more about your retirement than advancing a career... a nice, stable job with a good paycheck that you can forget about at the end of the day is also a pretty decent life.

What you have to avoid is the middle ground - if you are advancing your career that is great. If you have a comfortable, satisfying life, that also is great. But if you do not yet have that satisfying life AND you are failing to advance... that is the middle ground to get out of, fast.

Career Excellence Is Not Driven by Quantitative Factors Alone
Believe it or not, the Senate used to actually follow the law as written and advice and consent, and not simply reject out of hand because the nominating president was of the opposing political party. 13 Supreme Court Justices have been confirmed by a Senate controlled by the opposing party since 1945. All of these were under a Republican President and confirmed by a Democratic Senate.

The last Justice to fail to be confirmed was Bork in 1987, for the very valid reason of his association with Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre prior to the latter's forced resignation.

The process was never intended to be a political, partisan battle, and this was respected by both parties until 2016. Merrick Garland was (and remains) eminently qualified for the seat, and nobody serious on either side of the aisle claims otherwise. I defy anyone to give me a cogent reason why he should not have been given the prescribed consent by the Senate. Mitch McConnell has most likely indelibly changed the Supreme Court confirmation process to be a purely political one, to the great detriment of the Court. Incredibly shortsighted, in my opinion, as it has dispensed with all pretense of a supra-partisan deliberating body.
Let me get my magnetized needle.
Worse—it wants $5/month from me now. I don't know why people bother with Medium. They can't be making much money from it. Is it really worth the cost of people not being able to read your content?
> but then how did they get the pictures of Hunter sleeping with a meth pipe?

Actually, and this is coming from someone who is definitely not a Democrat: I'd think that picture points towards planted evidence. The picture is probably real for what I know, but why would he keep it on his laptop?
Too many people focus on "properly" putting ML into production...

I'd like to propose an alternative... Build a model (once) on your dev machine. Copy it to S3. Do CPU inference in some microservice. Get the production system to query your microservice, and if it doesn't reply in some (very short) timeout, fallback to whatever behaviour your company was using before ML came along.

If the results of yor ML can be saved (eg. a per-customer score), save the output values for each customer and don't even run the ML realtime at all!

Don't handle retraining the model. Don't bother with high reliability or failover. Don't page anyone if it breaks.

By doing this, you get rid of 80% of the effort required to deploy an ML system, yet still get 80% of the gains. Sure, retraining the model hourly might be optimal, but for most businesses the gains simply don't pay for the complexity and ongoing maintenance.

Insider knowledge says some very big companies deploy the above strategy very successfully...
I don't have a source at hand, but I remember reading an interview where Stieg Larsson confirmed both influence of Pippi and that Mikael Blomkvist was inspired by and named after Astrid Lindgren's character Kalle Blomkvist (translated to English as Bill Bergson).
It may take longer to load, but it allows you to automate the data processing. That's where the effort (and errors) usually lie...
There are multiple games being played concurrently by all of the different participants, making it hard to understand what/why from the local context of a single game.

If both sides erode your faith in the system, I suspect it's because you see real problems that need to be solved, but the people "elected to solve them" are instead constrained by these games.

Speaking of systems--can you clarify what about the electoral college system you support, and perhaps cite either some systemic features/biases/incentives you think it corrects for, or perhaps some points in U.S. history where you think the electoral college system improved overall outcomes?

“Code is a liability, not an asset”
I have to imagine that IBM leads, given its longevity and all that COBOL out there running financial software. One of Richard Gabriel's essays--admittedly from about 30 years ago--said that in LOC, COBOL has a massive lead over all other languages. And then there's all the code to keep the OSes running.
To me the interesting part is not having to do precise mouse movements.

With vim bindings it’s easier to do things like rewriting arguments in a function, without having to carefully select them with a cursor or using ctrl+shift+Right arrow the right amount of times.

The speed I find it’s only a plus when having to work with old/sluggish machines, because it breaks my flow way less, but that’s completely personal preference.
It's much slower than your desktop, or higher-powered embedded options from NVIDIA for example (4Tops of AI inference perf... and no training support by design)

Note that the Cortex-A35 is a CPU tier _below_ the A53 (80% of the perf at 32% lower power).

We really don't need this concept to work out in order to have clean shipping. We've had the technology for 70+ years, we just haven't implemented it because oil-fired ships are cheaper: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_marine_propulsion
The article does not really explain how it works. From my naïve understanding, those wings sails do not seem to be ordinary wings but are shaped like the ones in airplanes. When they are rotated to the right angle given the wind direction, the vessel is pulled forward. The topic reminds me of the Flettner rotor [1] and other wind-assisted propulsion systems [2].

TLDR: they have studied two types of calls in a specific bird - one type is dubbed ABC and elicits a horizontal scanning behavior; the other, dubbed D, elicits approaching the loudspeaker. Then, they have shown that the sequence ABC - D elicits both behaviors at the same time (the birds scan the area and they come close to the speaker). However, the sequence D - ABC does not elicit this combined behavior - it only elicits one behavior or the other, but not both in the same individual.

The conclusion is that the birds interpret the sequence ABC - D as a meaningful unit, different from its constituent parts, which is a kind of interpretation only previously confirmed in humans.
found the apple employee

the argument is nonsensical. size and expense should make no difference. if I purchase my product I own it, full stop. I can repair it if I want to.
> products I happily bought

I think this (emphasis mine) is somewhat disingenuous. Sometimes there are no other options, or they have significant tradeoffs (in ways that aren't due to that clause in the EULA).

I think a better phrasing would be something like, "fighting against the ability of EULAs to restrict the buyer's right to repair".

Drawing a parallel to an extreme, to show where the argument comes from: we also don't allow people to sign themselves into slavery, even though in some circumstances people will "happily" do just that.
Aaaand our firm will stop using it... Oh well. We can't go cloud..
Better, I think. Probably we'd be spared absurd stunts like Mazie Hirono asking SCOTUS nominee Amy Barret this past week if she ever raped anyone.
This article is really weird. It's not clear if this thing is meant for finding bugs or finding optimal strategies. There's a bunch of funny claims too.

> Sometimes, the Tester will juggle more than one build at the same time, apparently capable of simulating multiple hours of gameplay at once

What?

> Hilariously, someone on the team was actually able to start up combat against the AI, eventually defeating it in a one-on-one battle. When it happened, the Larian chief technology officer started screaming that it was “impossible.” Except, it wasn’t. To celebrate the unexpected victory against a superhuman opponent, the dueling developer was promoted to become a principal tester at Larian’s studio in Belgium.

This isn't noteworthy in the slightest for a game like divinity. And dev -> principal tester sounds like a demotion?

Jokes aside, Larian is a super high quality studio. Divinity 2 was fantastic, and perhaps the only good local-coop (or online) RPG I've ever seen. High hopes for Baldur's Gate 3.
Things that you hear from Turkey or Brazil or Belarus or some other distant "third-world" or even "communist" countries are happening right in our own backyard.

If we were not the superpower country, we would have already got "sanctions" but no one can yet. But the next time America sanctions other countries for human rights or governance, rest assured they will laugh it off.

Paraphrasing an Elton John quote: "People think it's easy for me to know what will be a hit because I've had so many. The truth is I've written songs I was sure would be a hit and nobody ended up listening to. I've also written songs that I didn't think would do anything and I even hesitated to include on the album and they turned out to be my biggest hits."
They give your 4-5 new games a month for cost of sub. Many of these are good. Also the management of logins and accounts and time to playing is less than switch.

It's funny no company is optimizing time to play and polluting consoles with stupid logins. As a parent being able to let them play immediately and get back to thinking is the most important thing to me.
Thanks for sharing in this detail. I don't have production SRE experience, so this is fascinating to read. I understand that the OOM killer has caused you quite a lot of pain!

I shouldn't have even mentioned the OOM killer. My point was merely: Due to those great lengths, memory availability is highly dynamic. Committing memory up front prevents optimizations where the kernel can reclaim memory "just in time" to allow a mapping to succeed and not require killing anything.
Jetson Nano doesn't have dedicated AI hardware... so 472 GFLOPs that you can use there pretty much. Same applies to TX2.

NV hardware with dedicated AI starts with Xavier, with the NX having 21 TOPs at $399 and 32 TOPs for the AGX at $699... that might leave a space for Google Edge TPUs.
Understood. I wasn’t talking about bail bonds. I was talking about remand.
wow. The kidnapping happened in 1932, it took 2 years to find the perpetrator, sentence (death) was carried out in 1936.

The wheels of justice turned much faster then.
"Swift world domination" is from Chris Lattner, Swift's author. He proposed that Swift could simultaneously be better at text manipulation than Perl, data science than Python, high-performance compute than C, more expressive than Ruby, etc... The result is a language ideal for no one and pushed heavily by Apple.

Swift as a "compiled python" loses to Go, and that not even Go's design goal (though it is a fairly common use of it).
Those aspects are
also too inward/selfish.

What About the company? Did you join for the mission, is the mission something you still support, is the mission something the leadership actually conveys or is it lip service, do you feel you’re in a position to be impactful for that mission.

Sometimes you might get a crappy job at a company with a cool mission (such as SpaceX) but it doesn’t mean you have to leave. Transfer internally!
For comparison, from what I've read the typical annual influenza fatality rate is around 0.1% (don't know what the under-70 rate would be). So, this puts covid-19 solidly in the uncanny valley of viral mortality rates; not low enough to be "just like a flu", not high enough to justify shutting down the world. No wonder opinions on it are so divided.
My Website Got Featured on Product Hunt 3 Days After Launching!
It's worth remembering this article seems to come from a rather clichéd and narrow frame of reference - overly driven by money and perceived status - one which seems to drive a lot of very similar advisory posts.

That's cool if it's what you want to dedicate your life to, but if you are in a happy position with a great work life balance that encourages and enables you to both improve yourself and - particularly - your non-worklife then that's a thing worth holding on to, whatever the article-heavy career gurus seem to be selling you.

Edit: as this comment has been significantly upvoted to visibility, I think I should acknowledge jasode's (and others) fair point that the author doesn't specifically focus on money. While I believe it is an implied strategic goal (which is fine) my concern is with the general over-focus on writing like this with careerism and the corresponding values which are definitely not shared by all. Thanks for the useful counterpoints to my reading.
I would be fine dumping DC voters into MD and or VA, hell randomly assign them across the country.

This doesn't look like drone footage to me. From the flight pattern (left hand circle), this looks more like an AC-130 gun ship. Drones carry rockets/missiles, and this is clearly a large caliber machine gun being used.
> Well, let's just say that there aren't many journalists I trust to validate a DKIM signature

Uh... why would the journalist "validate" the DKIM signature? Publish the RFC822 content of the email and let everyone do it themselves. That's the whole point of public key encryption. And the fact that the Post skipped that very obvious and easy step tells me that this is almost certainly faked data.

> I don't just believe any random person who claims XYZ

With all respect: you clearly seem inclined to believe this nonsense about the emails with only the barest of evidence. It's only the attempts to refute it that have you worried about "rigor".
I worked mostly in C++ for over 15 years. I was totally proficient in it, and very productive, especially after c++11. Often I would reach for C++ even in favor of Python for small throw-away tools, in the knowledge that it wouldn't bail out on a typo in the final print statement after 10 minutes of analysis.

I have now worked with Rust for a year, and I don't see myself ever going back to C++. The statement in the article that "only the final iteration would be unsafe if one would forget to check the length" made me cringe uncomfortably. I might have written similar code as the author, but it now looks clumsy and overly complicated.
Exactly what you stated. The internet became a multi-trillion dollar business.

It's a sail. Being rigid instead of a piece of cloth doesn't change the basics of how it's working.

Everyone is claiming it will shift it from a 5-4 soft conservative majority, with relatively centrist Bush Jr. appointee John Roberts often siding with the Dem appointees on issues of human rights, immigration, and abortion restrictions, to a 6-3 hard conservative majority that will be well-nigh unbreakable for many years.

I am piggy-backing on this to ask if there is a good networking library to handle OAuth2 (client side). I came across cpprestsdk[0] but it was a pain to setup with some OpenSSL conflicts unless I use vcpkg.

The reasons why the iOS version is more expensive is because of the camera system (to scan handwritten equations) which is expensive to maintain.
That sounds like it'd be about as hard, as extracting the output of a complicated program without running it.
Well, obviously. But there is more to it than just those two in isolation. First off, one anonymous person clicking a link is just noise. But if you have hundreds clicking a link per day that gives you a much better indication you might be onto something.

Further, how much time do you spend on making a basic landing and pricing page? Two hours? Four maybe? The original comment was talking about programmers working for 6+ months on a MVP product before showing it to people. You could launch hundreds of landing pages in that time, only limited by how many ideas you have. Even though the chance of a "hit" per landing page is probably lower, the sheer volume can more than make up for it. The landing plus pricing page model also immediately informs you how much people are actually willing to spend on it, which (if higher than zero) is a much higher indicator for product success than "I think this is a super cool feature".

Finally, I notice that you are talking about "product efficacy" while the original comment is interested in making money. The two are related but not the same, since there are tons of crappy products making a boatload of profit (comcast anyone?) and also tons of great products that struggle to make money (see the ongoing troubles of open source developers on this very forum). Either goal is fine, but optimizing for one while thinking you are then also optimizing for the other is a recipe for disappointment.
How is my question survivorship bias?

Other than the sense that any question asked is one of a multitude of candidate questions that "survived" the decision process and made it out into the world, I don't see how asking how a company's "idea" may have been tested is survivorship bias.

I think the "Great Compromise" helps correct for the fact that people in different locations value different things and have different experiences. People who live in farming communities understand plenty of things that people in cities don't and vice-versa. Beyond that, it's an agreement that was reached between states who were giving up their sovereignty to join together. If we discard compromises like that because people who won the popular vote by a tiny margin now think it's outdated and that they have some democratic mandate, then collectively society has lost my trust to keep it's word on future compromises wherein I'm asked to forfeit some of my independence and sovereignty.

You don't have to understand the democrats, you just have to understand the Supreme Court ruling.

It's clearly spelled out in the constitution that it should be an accurate count of all people.

People not eligible to vote (non-citizens, mostly slaves) were explicitly intended to be included by design.

If you want that to be different, there is a process for that, and that's a constitutional amendment.
Sure, morally speaking, I completely agree. It might mean the language ends up more awkward and complicated than it had to, though.

Don't blame yourself entirely, It's not about you being medicore, although after 2 years work on a project that's not meeting your goals something's amiss. Ideally you validate the market and your place in it early on, for instance by hitting the front page of HN/a subreddit or something like that with one of your articles every so often. If your hit rate is too low your market probably is too small or you're not giving them content they want (even though it may be high quality content that they need...). At some point you change what you're doing, change your goals or move on.
