I read books in my bed before going to sleep, and I read articles on my computer during the day. So, there's a clear physical separation: different parts of the house, different times of the day, different media. They don't overlap, so they don't conflict.

Are you reading for pleasure, or for study?

If for study, you can save a lot of time by scanning the text, contents, and index for what's relevant to you, and only reading those parts (or at least reading them first). For articles you can usually just read the middle half, ignoring the introduction and conclusion.

If for pleasure, you're out of luck. You'll never read everything you'll want to read in one lifetime. You can maximize the value of your limited time by casting off any sense of obligation you may have to books you aren't getting value from. If a book isn't justifying itself after an hour, or 50 pages, or whatever, toss it out and find something else. Life is too short to slog through garbage.

It is sad that Tony Hsieh didn’t get the help that he needed and instead tried to self medicate in order to get away from all that.
This recurrent story where extremely intelligent people are battling mental health issues and cannot speak out because the stigma behind this issue is too damaging is why we need to normalize the discourse around mental health if we want to avoid this type of tragedies. I’m not actively suffering (and am not as bright as Tony) but had some bouts of depression and hypomania in the past and know how afraid I was to let anyone official (eg. at work, school) know about my suffering because once out it always trails you like a cloud and will always deem you inferior to others. Luckily I was able to escape the black hole and have been good and calm for about 10 years and learned to never slip into that again. But there’s a remnant fear of a possibility of going back to it. Along with that there is the fear of falling begind, loosing job, becoming isolated and homelessness. This fear is clearly exacerbated in the US where one or a few slip-ups turns everything into an ever accelerating down-spiral. Tony had so much more to loose as his cliff was much higher than an ordinary person. He could have seeked professional help and he probably did but too late in the game. Had we not have this stigma around, he and others could get the help early on when much more could be done.

Self-medication with drugs works temporarily but its abuse is clearly a quick path to compelte madness and early death. I personally stay away from drugs except from an ocasional puff of weed, the once a decade or two experience with LSD and the weekend bottle of beer.

I would guess mmap: view it as a char[]. With flash storage and ubiquitous page-cache the read/write/seek reading-needle abstraction is kind of moot. Triggering a syscall on seek when you could just pass an offset to every read is a bit disturbing. It's probably because of this that most languages provide buffered readers even tho the underlying file is already buffered by the kernel.

Literally just now I realized my daughter was finishing an e-learning assignment where she was recording her own voice on this web app on her school provided Chromebook. She caught me discussing a private matter in the background and it is now uploaded and can’t be deleted.

Yes, the Zoom calls have the same potential but those are scheduled so we at least know when we are being listened to. What am I to take away from this? That you should just assume you’re always being recorded in your own home and act accordingly?

All because paper isn’t cool anymore. I suppose I’m expected to audit every feature of every piece of ephemeral e-learning software that blows like a whirlwind through my home. But 10 years ago, I didn’t have to ask if an assignment had a listening device in it. If I had, people in white coats would have come to take me away.

I work as a dev at a financial company. I can say that I agree with you. The people (both business side and dev side) in the trading portion of the company were much more likely to be assholes than in the non-trading areas, such as client facing areas. It seemed like the closer people got to being a trader or portfolio manager, the more likely they were to have a mindset of "I'm better than you. I know more than you, so do what I say.", even when they don't know what they're doing.

Due to skin effect, most of the power is absorbed in the outer layers (skin mostly), and that causes 'warm/hot/burning' feeling, before doing anything else to your body.
Agree, but also think the result may be too general to be useful. Proving that you can rewrite any network learned with gradient descent this way kinda suggests that the architecture doesn't matter, but we know that's not true. Eg, why are networks with skip connections SO much better than networks without? What about batch normalization? This makes me suspicious that it's a nice theoretical result a bit too high level to be useful. Yes, it was proved years ago that you can train an arbitrary function with a wide enough two-layer net, but it's not a terribly practical way to approach the world. Now we have architectures much better than two-layer networks, and, for that matter, SVMs.

There's a number of problems with svms; complexity for training and inference scales with the amount of training data, which is pretty sad panda for complex problems.

Extremely spicy/cynical take: it's not cool to say "you all should go look at all these possible applications" when the thrust is the paper is to prop up the relevance of an obsolete approach. You gotta do the actual work to close the gap if you still want your PhD to be worth something...

That said, I haven't read the paper terribly closely, and am always happy to be proven wrong!
Right to buy will mean that most of the flats will have been bought. The buyers would then become leaseholders, and most leasehold agreements make you liable for the cost of repairs to common areas. Those buyers may have then sub-let their flats (and those renters won’t normally be liable for repairs), but it’s no uncommon for families to buy their council homes and continue living in them.

In theory reserve funds etc should prevent surprise bills, but that isn’t always a guarantee.

For those not familiar with how flat purchases work in the U.K. We have a crazy system where people purchase “long-leases” for their flats, you don’t own the flat, your just renting it for a long period of time (normally 99 or 999 years depending on your landlord). When you sell your flat, you’re just selling the remaining period on your lease (the 99 years doesn’t reset). And yes this does mean that once the lease expires you no longer own your flat anymore, there are ways of purchasing extensions etc but it’s a bit much to put into a HN comment.
Only familiar with US building codes but stairway shafts in taller buildings are supposed to be built from thicker concrete, with fire-rated doors, so theoretically they should remain usable for some time (minutes) even if the floors they pass are engulfed. For larger buildings there must be two or more stairway shafts in case one is compromised. All is negated if doors are propped open, locks defeated, structure altered, building is wrapped in solidified napalm cladding, etc. So I’m with you, I’d also GTFO.

Sorry, maybe I'm misreading your comment, but are you saying that julia doesn't have parameterized types? If so, that's untrue, but maybe you're saying Dylan doesn't have parameterized types? It's a little unclear in the text.

> The parameterising complicates the subtyping relationships needed to specify how multiple dispatch works.

I don't think it adds all that much complication actually, and it adds a ton of extra expressive power. For instance, our arrays are parameterized by their element type and their dimensionality, so

Array{Int, 1}

is a 1D (vector) array of Ints whereas

Array{Complex{Float64}, 2}

is a 2D (matrix) of Complex Float64s. This is really important for making the most of multiple dispatch imo because I can write methods which take advantage of as much type information as possible. This isn't just helpful for performance, but also helpful for just expressing your algorithm in a clear and general way.

The notion of Peak Oil is that it is a situation where crude oil supply is permanently unable to meet demand, and all of the thinking and discussion around it is about how you handle that situation, in terms of ramifications for both suppliers and consumers of oil.

What is instead happening is that demand for oil has peaked before supply for oil has peaked. This is the completely opposite situation as the scenario envisioned by Peak Oil. All of those plans you would have been making for Peak Oil are now useless, especially if you are an oil supplier.

Microwaves can be highly directional, beams can be transmitted in much narrower than the width of rooms. It fits some facts fairly well, modulated microwaves could induce audible frequencies at various points of the head involved in audio perception.

As mentioned elsewhere though, signals intelligence at diplomatic posts (see Stateroom and the SCS) would likely have detected at least lower frequency microwave energy. At higher frequencies it is less commonly used for communications and hence less likely to be monitored.

Don't know why everyone is expecting solid proof here. There's a reasonable chance this would have been detected, but we're unlikely to know even if it was. Microwaves are still a plausible explanation.
That sounds very much like you’re just not trying. Debugging is simple in JS, just set a breakpoint or put a debugger statement, you can even evaluate arbitrary expressions at the console when execution is paused. As to spaghetti code, well that’s just what someone would say if they had no clue about the architecture of React, it forms a very specific flow of data from the top down. Some libraries allow or encourage spaghetti code such as jQuery, but that’s hardly specific to JS as the number of spaghetti code C programs is essentially uncountable.

JavaScript interpreters are present and used on more systems than any other language which makes your claim extremely inaccurate and even ignorant.

It's acknowledging a reality that ultimately we are responsible for our own fates

Do you really mean "ultimately"? That means "in the end". At the last. Ultimately, we all die and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

None of us chose when or where to be born. None of chose how rich the family we were born into would be (the number one indicator of success in life).

People might have chosen to move into Grenfell Tower but they didn't know they were choosing to die horribly in a fire, and making choices without knowledge carries as much responsibility as saying that a lottery winner was responsible for their winnings - not untrue but hardly a maxim for life.

To say that there is a reality that ultimately we are responsible for our own fate just seems to disagree with reality.

Uh I always saw the analysis packages specific to a domain being pushed so hard on students as their exclusive means of learning material to be this form of colonization. Matlab, SAS, Mathematica, each pushed in programs I enrolled in and students out of them are dependent so much they are guranteed buys (and set the next generation into working 'ONLY' via those software). Sure they have competitors, but there is so much lock-in that practically if you learned how to do all your analysis for a particular program in one you are never leaving and totally dependent. Some like me resist. Use R! Octave! Maxima! Of course the classes would ask for things specifically not easy to do in the free versions that are nearly turn-key in the commercial ones. This form of 'get-em before they know any better' should be regulated (by the university, not the government), and professors should be encouraging unique solutions, not punishing out of the box thinking. Whatever, its an empire, carved up for the industrialists and investors. Nothing to see here, move along.
