Go is the language with very fast compile times; Rust's aren't particularly good, and, depending on the exact details, maybe slower than C++'s. It's pretty variable. We've been working on it but it's non-trivial.

There are tons of tools in Rust to preprocess headers, and do even more fun things like https://github.com/Hywan/inline-c-rs (which is obviously not a general solution to this problem but is interesting)

After submitting a note I got a marketing email eg "PS: We made this experiment for fun, but we made HEY to make email better. Give it a try at HEY.com."

Just in case not obvious this is a marketing campaign by Hey.com (I was 90% sure) and they've got my email now :)
That... is a very good example. Thanks for making it real.

At my last in-office role, I had employees (direct reports) give me similar comments if I happened to come into the office dressed particularly nicely. Certainly didn't feel like harassment!
> So what I don't understand then is if all these women are getting huge amounts of matches, how can men be getting less matches?

I don't understand what you're confused about.

Men swipe on a large proportion of women.

Women swipe on a small proportion of men.

So most women's swipes will be reciprocated, most men's won't be.

Not sure why you can't see how it would work?
I coded fulltime in WebObjects from 2006-2008 making webApps in the health care industry.

During my Software Engineering degree I learned the difference between a Library and a Framework, but it wasn't until actually using the WebObjects Framework that the light bulb went off in my head. It was a pleasure to work with, and clearly very, VERY well thought out.

EOF was great, and every time I made a new NSArray() it brought a smile to my face.
> where an NGO moved a camp and set up multiple tents on a main square for theatrical purposes and the clearing of the square was completely justifiable

It was indeed a happening, by activists. A bit of context: the state is required by law to provide emergency housing to these people, but failed to comply, so this NGO organized this happening to attract attention on this problem (and the non-respect of the law by the government). Reacting to such happening by assaulting the JOURNALISTS covering the event is unjustifiable in a democratic country, sorry.

> I'm more worried about teachers being killed for showing drawings to students

It was ONE teacher, not teacher, and it was indeed a tragedy. And it also has no link with the police assaulting journalists (Samuel Patty was defending free speech, assaulting journalists is as far as you can get from that…).

That is the point, for some problems NN is unnecessary. That isn't an argument against the point, that is the point. Many problems in life allow simpler models and can save time and computational power if people used their brains first.
My dark take on that is it’s business people’s fault that they focus on party activities and asking me to mainly play those, while pretending with useless tasks as a side, especially if what engineers view as barbecue activities actually bring home the bacon using acidic-narconian logics from Gamma quadrant.

If you think you have better understanding for the challenges and know better than the party people at materializing it or cash it out for a larger sum, just downright steal that idea and start your own company. They’ll get mad if it works, that’s hypothetical.

If you don’t, just start gliding from day one and don’t feel guilty for it. Your responsibility extends absolutely no further than your paycheck goes, not a thousandths inch more. Don’t care where the money came from. There could be micro-guilts on you for micro-not being able to meet micro-expectations, but in return you’re not paid or given equities that your achievements would be worth in the term anyway, so it’s a fair game, a fair and stupid game.

As someone recently single for the first time in over 14 years... it was an eye opening experience to see how things had changed.

Online dating is very much a skill, and books I have read point and tell me even more.

My short version of what I have learned (and have succeeded with):
1. Appearance matters, but more so for females
2. For men, it is more important that you convey what you are doing than absolute attractiveness. Women are most attracted to “rocket ships”, people that are going places with their lives (it doesn’t matter your current state).

Also, I recommend Hinge over most of the apps out there... for what it is worth, I have had my most success there, including the girl I am currently dating.

Just my two cents...
> recommendations

A lot of this is standard statistical methods, much of which are much older than twenty years.

Really, that's the part that threw me, twenty years ago everyone was going crazy for SVM's, which is still machine learning, but the features were definitely hand crafted.

I think deep learning has been super successful with unstructured data, but for tabular data it's pretty much a wash between NN's and boosted trees or generalised additive models.

You do need some flexibility in your function approximation, but not as much as people commonly believe.
Because it would add unnecessary complexity to the system. It's a waste of time.
> Hawaii - this should be the best remote tech hub, but it isn’t yet. Beautiful place, not that expensive (relatively). But you gotta work remote (not much tech locally) and wait a week for Amazon.

Under this reasoning, don't overlook the similar lifestyle benefits of the US Virgin Islands, if you can work remote. Some of them are already the paper headquarters for tax dodge reasons of some of the companies you could potentially remote for. (Maybe they would appreciate the irony of actually having a workforce in their "headquarters".)

Also, too, San Juan (Puerto Rico) is a major, densely populous and diverse US city with most of what that implies in terms of amenities and such (book shops, coffee shops, fast food, etc), if you don't mind learning at least a little bit more Spanish.
That’s over 80 characters long.

Even then, it still is about capital, it's just that the power and interests of capital work inside this organism the same way individual cells further their own life in a multicellular organism. The whole coheres as a result of a confluence of interests and interactions, most of which are so minuscule they have no substantial individual impact on the whole and merely serve as reinforcement of the general pattern, growth. Some cells are more powerful than others, nerve cells have some ability to direct the organism as a group, as do billionaires in this economic organism, but in both cases are bound by the system and ultimately have the same interests as the organism itself.

The important note here is that these sub-units of the organism are not people in general. They are capital and its controllers. It is their individual interests which trend towards their own growth that result in the organism itself seeking growth as a whole.
I agree. I’m amazed how well my favourite IDE - Webstorm does spell correction. If you add keyboard shortcuts it’s just delightful.

Maybe.

GPU's are definitely a big part of why this stuff has improved, as you can train much, much faster on larger datasets which is going to improve performance.

NN's are super flexible though, and I'm not sure you'd have gotten the same level of performance out of other methods.

Interesting question though.
> Further, "the science" is very clear: lockdowns are effective, masks help, social distancing helps, contact tracing helps, and so on.

Of your list of things, masks and lockdowns aren't very clear - they don't seem to be helping given the resurgence this fall. Lockdowns might even have made it worse, pushing people indoors where it spreads easier and there's less sunlight, instead of encouraging social distancing in wide-open outdoor areas.

If anything, it seems COVID-19 is seasonal, and introduction of lockdowns and masks in the spring just coincided with when it was waning anyway.

One thing killing Hawaii is its education system; relative to the high cost of living, teacher and per-pupil spending is quite low, with proficiency and graduation rates to match.

This is important if you want to raise kids.
TBH I'm starting to come around more to the climate adaptation arguments and drifting away from talks around mitigation and reversal which I'm starting to suspect will remain behind the curve past the timeframe where they could make an appreciable impact.

Which is not to say I'm fatalistic to the point of leaning into continued emissions and taking no action on a personal level - I think all the information needed to make individual change is already known but we're facing the seven stages of grief with regards to the lifestyle sacrifices necessary to make them.
Yeah. You are right. That fixed my problem.
It's not very reasonable to assume that all amateurs lack professional ethics solely on the basis of the Boston manhunt incident (especially considering the different ethics associated with hunting for people and locating an artifact in the desert). It's worse to take that inference and impugn any particular amateur as the OP did when he likened the redditor who located the monolith with the redditors who misidentified the Boston Bomber.

I saw a great idea for a Slack integration a few years back.

Instead of having these quarterly "how is working here?" surveys that no one likes, you could input a bunch of questions and it would "randomly" (probably not randomly, but arbitrarily) message them to members of your organizations, and anonymise the results.

That meant that instead of having some huge process every quarter where everyone just kind of skips through the whole thing, if they even read it at all, you could get a semi-live feel for how things are going day to day or week to week, and even get relatively-realtime indications about what effect company events were having on employees.

You can easily get into cynical territory, where you know that an impromptu office ice cream and macaron party will bump up morale by 30%, while laying off an entire team will generally drop it by 20%, so obviously you should lay people off on the Thursday and then have an ice cream and macaron party on the Friday, but overall it's a good idea to get a continual sense of the feeling of your teams and what might be troubling or exciting them.

> addressed that problem a long time ago (in their own ad-hoc ways)

I think it's becoming increasingly clear that "addressing the problem" in C and C++ means fixing all the memory safety issues you know about. Sqlite is the posterchild of careful testing in a C codebase, and they had a serious CVE last year. Realistically, the vast majority of C and C++ projects have more bugs than that, even if they're staffed by experts who take security seriously.

But I agree with you about the cost-benefit analysis. It's not very often that security issues destroy an entire company, and trying to rewrite a large codebase might be existentially riskier more often than not.

Stop beating yourself over it, most people had some lack of communication or understanding in some workplace, a lot of it is natural dynamics and fit, exactly like any other relationship in life. Just move on and you will find that in your next job things might be better without you even trying anything specific.
But ML is essentially just function approximation, and that definitely existed back then.

Yes it does. That's why "zero compromise" is usually a losing proposition, because there are often requirements that conflict with each other.

You can't have 7 screens, long battery life, and have it be light weight. That would be zero compromises.

It's basically the old adage: Fast, cheap, good - pick two.

They've sacrificed any kind of portability for more screens.

That's just, like, your opinion, man. There's clearly a market for, say, JRPGs, and that market is comprised of people who fully disagree with you. Ultimately what you're saying is "there's no need to make games I don't like".

Personally, for what it's worth, I love games where you neither generate nor are told stories, but rather where you uncover them. Outer Wilds is the best recent example I know of-- the entire game is essentially a detective mystery/archaeology expedition where you have to piece the story of the game together. Similar DNA lives in games like Dark Souls and Myst, where the game lore is predetermined but not necessarily shoved in your face.
You've got this the wrong way around. Reddit, much like HN, is mainly centered around discussing links on the internet.

One just went past that said "everything is fine". It was committed to the fire, flew up, and landed back on the conveyor belt. A guy in a mask ran into the frame and picked it up and put it in the fire by hand.

I found it very in keeping with the theme.
I'd make two broad points against this article:

A) In most domains, a nonlinear model is far superior to a linear model. At the very least, generally you need to at least apply a transformation (e.g. logistic) to create a nonlinear model from a linear model, because most problem spaces are nonlinear. A nonlinear model doesn't have to be particularly complex though.

B) Machine learning (i.e. automatic tuning of parameters) is far simpler for the user than manual tuning of parameters. It's not a question of whether you "need" machine learning, but whether it will save you work. In fact, the author here is in denial - he actually says he would do machine learning, but doesn't realize that is what it is: "Instead of doing anything fancy, my program generates the coefficients at random to explore the space. If I wanted to generate a good driver for a course, I’d run a few thousand of these and pick the coefficients that complete the course in the shortest time."
oh! i thought it was merely trying to create buzz but I didn't think about building up an email list. pretty smart.
I have successfully promoted my company on Reddit, but it is tricky, for the reasons mentioned. There are two techniques that worked for me.

0. Be a chronic reddit user for years, with a main account that has thousands of karma and a couple of throwaway accounts that also have various content.

1. Write an interesting blog post with useful content that relates to your product, and post it on a relevant subreddit. Put a call to action like "Buy Now" at the bottom of that post. Post it a maximum of twice in any 24 hour period. If it doesn't succeed on a given subreddit, you can try it maybe once more with a different headline before you should move on to a different subreddit. If you post it more than 4-5 times total anywhere on reddit, you're liable to get banned.

2. Hang out in subreddits where people discuss products like yours. Answer questions with useful information. After providing the information, link your site as the source. Do not just link your site without also providing a useful answer on reddit.

Reddit does drive quite a bit of traffic, something like 60-100 hits per upvote. It's great, but it still often doesn't result in as many sales-per-click as facebook or instagram.

> That doesn't provide a way of measuring your individual performance only that of the team

Exactly!

Team metrics can be useful. It is important to know if, say, a team is missing deliverables more than another team. Then you can potentially track down _systemic reasons_.

On an individual level? Can't do it, there's not enough context.

On a pure "lines per code" metric, the most important members on my team would have an abysmal metric. But if they didn't do their jobs, the productivity for everyone else would drop enormously.

> Cover every rooftop, every parking lot, every desert with solar panels as much as we can. Cover every windy plain with wind turbines

You'd extract quite a significant amount of energy from the weather system, assuming we'd globally and optimally achieve this. What could be the consequences? Winds could locally diminish, thermal convection could be reduced, lots of effects could happen we don't understand yet.

In which way would this interact with local climate? Would this cause local temperatures to rise?

Just pointing out potential unintended consequences this could have without offering a solution. My takeaway from past good ideas (automobile, chemistry, electricity, globalization, ...) is that there is at least one _big_ unintended consequence of action.

I'd rather try to reduce our environmental and thermal footprint altogether by reducing our energy consumption, trying to keep up the standard of living people are used to. Just my opinion, but the uprising of populist parties suggests we should not overdo good intentions.

Also, if a radical approach like the proposed one would fail, populist parties would exploit that failure to the fullest amount possible.
