Firing one person does not mean that when they said they have over 200 people working on responsible AI. They probably cost tens of millions per year.

This! Totally agree. I can’t listen to normal speeds anymore. Otoh, I can listen to 4-6 books/week.

When I can’t get audiobooks, I just use Alexa to read from kindle books.
If I had to hazard a guess, bespoke implementation is usually recommended against, especially for complex formats. That it would be the best practice for saml does sound counter-intuitive.
I totally appreciate it! And kudos on your personal mission.

Not that you don't have enough on your plate, but I wonder if you've been interested in doing a kind of "on writing" post where you can articulate your approach? I think your writing is unusual in that it has both specificity and approach-ability in equal measure. Like, it's precise but also friendly if that makes any sense. Definitely uncommon in any circles but more so in tech circles. (Also the layout/presentation of your blog is so nice.)

Edit: To be clear, and to quote a previous blog post of yours, "As a reader of my blog, you likely have above average ability to discern truthful information from lies, and you also probably can communicate reasonably effectively to other people." A few nuggets of wisdom on effective writing could help us trying to communicate with others. :-)
On top of this I also believe that companies prefer the RHEL opinionated implementation of a linux system vs Debian's.

RedHat is a company that sells to other companies. Therefore it has to implement their linux and make decisions in a way that works well with how other enterprises think. Big companies aren't comfortable depending on "the community" to do the right thing for them.
It is possible that AR could become a useful product to literally every person. I'll be waiting as always.

> you need to continue to learn outside of a school setting and cultivate that curiosity

This is true of just about everyone in computing. This isn't an industry for people who expect to cruise on the knowledge they were given a decade ago. (Plenty of people do, but thats another rant.)

Regarding big-O, one habit / intuition I think its really important to develop is an intuition about how well something will actually perform in practice. Like, you should be able to guess within an order of magnitude or two:

- How many simple reads per second and writes per second your database can perform

- How many lookups / inserts per second to expect out of some standard data structures. (And how those numbers change as the collection grows)

- How many allocations your program does, and how much time is spent in the allocator

- About how large the steady state working memory size should be for your program

I'm not talking about theoretical O(n) numbers. I mean, right now, if I write a tight loop in nodejs on my laptop writing random numbers to a JS Map(), how fast will it go? How does that compare to C/Rust? How many SET calls per second can a redis instance on my laptop handle? How about SELECT queries to postgres, or find({id:...}) calls to mongodb? Will the database be faster or slower than the nodejs program on my laptop thats issuing those queries? How many HTTP requests per second should I expect out of my express server? How many milliseconds should it take to statically render my web app to HTML? Etc.

And arguably more importantly, it shouldn't take you more than ~20 minutes to go and find out the answer to any of those questions. Benchmarking is a delicate art, but if you can't measure, you programming blind.

I wrote a fuzzer the other day which did about 100 iterations / second. And I know something was wrong because the number was orders of magnitude lower than I intuitively expected. Some tweaking later its now running about 1000 iterations/second - still too slow. Profiling shows its now spending 99% of the time in a single function. I'm hoping for another 10x when I rewrite that function. Without my intuition whispering in my ear, my program could have ended up 100x slower than it should be for no good reason.

Aside: This might make a great interview question for a mid. "I have this simple piece of code. How fast do you think it will run on your laptop? Ok, share your screen and write a program to measure it. Talk to me about your answer!"
Well, don't leave us hanging.
The leather pad IMO feels awful as well. Highly highly recommend getting the 550 dollar sunny with magnetic resistance if you want to do something like this

This sounds miserable
Other than Kevin (you're right about him), I feel like all the characters had several focal traits, not just a one-dimensional schtick. They definitely refined and brought these to the forefront over time (especially right after season 1), but I don't feel like they ever got flat.

Also, a huge part of that show is the number of "main" characters, and seeing how those handful of traits among a large number of characters mix and mash and interact, both with each other, and in varying situations. I.e. Andy and Oscar may not be that complicated individually, but they hardly interacted until like season five and then suddenly got put in a situation or two together, which made for something fresh. That kind of thing happens constantly over the course of the show.
I bet there’s Bitcoin in it for Trump. Money seems to be his primary motivator.
Another positive..I find that I am able to understand different accents easier now. IRL. Perhaps I have now trained myself to pay attention to sound.

I don’t know if it’s related but I can think faster and I type at blazing speeds ever since I switched to faster speeds on audiobooks
What they did to Flanders really sucks. He was a wonderful character. The Leftorium episode is absolutely heartbreaking, but gives Homer such an opportunity to redeem himself.

Those fleeting moments of humanity and growth were my favourite part of Simpsons as a kid.
Lighthouse uses axe's engine for accessibility checking [0] and axe's own extension is more up-to-date.

> The trope is named for The Simpsons character Ned Flanders, who was originally depicted as a friendly, generous Christian neighbor and a model father, husband and citizen, thus making him a contrast to Homer Simpson. As seasons progressed he became increasingly obsessively religious to the point where he eventually embodied almost every negative stereotype of the God-fearing, bible-thumping American Christian evangelist.

I bet this happens with a lot of Muslim characters too, right? Right? Because there’s definitely no anti-Christian bias in Hollywood. And no, I am not Christian, not by a long shot.
I've had the slightly nicer model of Sunny (with magnetic resistance) and it's been great. I'm ~200 and do a lot of standing riding and haven't noticed any issues.

I've only had it for ~3 months so maybe a few weeks down the road I'll have issues
My bet is when someone makes a spoon that can reproduce any flavor. I think everyone will want that.
Yes, honestly HTML or its subset is enough for me but some author/publisher publishes only ePub or PDF.
Because a cluster doesn't work like a normal computer.

Your users don't see the nodes. They submit jobs and wait for their turn in the cluster. A sophisticated resource planner / job scheduler tries to empty the queue while optimizing job placement so the system usage can be maximized as much as possible.

Also, users' jobs work in under their own users. You need to isolate them. Giving them access to docker or any root level container engine is completely removing UNIX user security and isolation model and running in Windows95 mode. This also compromises system security since everyone is practically root at that point. Singularity is user-mode and its usage is increasing but then comes the next point.

Performance and hardware access is critical in HPC. GPU and special HBAs like Infiniband requires direct access from processes to run at their maximum performance or work at all. GPU access is much more important than containerizing workloads. Docker GPU is here because nVidia wanted to containerize AI workloads on DGX/HGX systems. These technologies are maturing on HPC now.

In performance front, consider the following: If main loop of your computation loses a second due to these abstractions, considering this loops run thousand times per core on many nodes, lost productivity is eye-watering. My simple application computes 1.7 million integrations per second per core. So, for working on long problems, increasing this number is critical.

Last but not the least, some of the applications run on these systems are developed for 20 years now. So, these applications are not some simple code bases which are extremely tidy and neat. You can't know/guess how these applications behave before running them inside a container. As I've said, you need to be able to trust what you have too. So, we scientists and HPC administrators tend to walk slowly but surely.

Doing my job properly on the HPC side means my cluster works with utmost efficiency and bulletproof user isolation so people can trust the validity of their results and integrity of their privacy. Doing my job properly on the development side means that my code builds with minimum effort and with maximum performance on systems I support. HPC software is not a single service which works like a normal container workload. We need to evolve our software to run with minimum problems with containers and containers should evolve to accommodate our workloads, workflows and meet our other needs.

The cutting edge technology doesn't solve every problem with same elegance. Also we're not a set of lazy academics or sysadmins just because our systems work more traditionally.
I switched my wife to FF from chrome and completely uninstalle chrome. She hates the inconvenience of any minor glitches or peculiarities - I hear a lot about it when she doesn't like something. I almost forgot she was switched over b.c. I didn't hear a thing about it from her.
For the average person, the computer is still not the bicycle of the mind. The computer is more akin to public transport of the mind, in the sense that it works OK as long as you want to go to a common destination, but after that you just have to walk.

But this is the same story with pretty much every language, right? I remember dealing with some of the C++ interop layers in Common Lisp back about 10 years ago. All around an awful experience, and not really because of either CL or the interop layers themselves. It's just a boatload of complexity and the bigger the C++ library you want to target, the more likely it becomes that you have to deal with essentially all of the language.

Compare that to C, where the story is often as good as "import the header and you're done".

I'm not sure if there's a good path to a long-term solution, but I've been pushing to get nice C APIs in all the libraries I'm invested in, specifically because of this issue.
"X considering Y" is some of the most annoying "news" there is.

We all get to act like it's happening, and the news publication gets clicks for its unverified "wouldn't it be crazy if we actually had this scoop?" fantasy.

I remember years of "Twitter considering edit button" which finally seemed to quiet down... until https://twitter.com/twitter/status/1278763679421431809 provoked a whole new rumor cycle.
The 16" slipped my mind, that varient to me was the first "good" laptop apple released in years but they were pushing a dated 15" model not so long ago. This laptop had quite a bit of overheating issues to the point you can't even drive all the monitors it says it supports on the spec sheet off the iGPU anywhere close to comfortably.

The 13" models which I'm more interested in are more dated and more behind in terms of weight although the performance makes up for that. What truly stunned me a few years back was comparing a 13" MBA to a T480s and seeing Macs just get tied or crushed in pretty much any area that wasn't related to speaker quality or the trackpad. This laptop had an extra inch of screen space and an extra 2 cores and better input overall and higher memory support and way more ports and about the same battery life and the same weight and all this for substantially less money especially if you bought memory aftermarket. It was nothing short of a humiliation - and this wasn't even Lenovo's top product - Apple wasn't even competing with second rate products. I seriously wondered how Apple had fallen so far from the heyday of the MBPr and if it was just going to let the MacBooks decay into irrelevance.

I also would compare Apple to the X1 line, not the cheaper XPS line with a 32gb memory limit just because it's popular. I could compare Apple to Inspiron which is even more popular and Apple would be even further ahead. Hopefully Dell can make some good laptops one day.
Thank you. I find audible difficult to navigate. I have been meaning to cancel but I gave up. I am waiting for a book I really need that’s a good deal. Collecting credits till then. I do like their free meditation snippets tho’

In fact, the opposite is true, the burden of proof was in fact on the DOJ to prove the murder-for-hire scheme, which was, as you can see, charged, and they met that burden at trial.
Sometimes you just need the differentiator in your feature set. Then you let your marketing team go to work.
I enjoy how everyone discovers this "feature." It really is a lot of fun to play with.

True story, back in the cave person days, when television only came over the air waves and if you wanted to "own" a computer you shelled out anywhere from $500 to $5000 for something with an 8 bit processor that ran between 1 and 4 MHz and had, usually, much less than 65,536 bytes of RAM, peripherals for these things were few and far between. A couple of serial ports and a couple of parallel ports was considered a "lot" of I/O. You might have stored your programs on an 8" or 5" floppy disk, but if it was before 1978 you most likely stored programs on cassette tape. Anyway ...

One of the things you could always count on was that these things radiated all sorts of spurious energy and being relatively low frequency beasts to begin with, finding a harmonic that you could pick up with an AM radio held "near" (where near could be 1' to 10' (.3 - 3m)) that interference and with the judicious use of delay loops cause that interference to modulate to "tones" and thus create recognizable "music."

As a kid in high school with just such a computer I can tell you that "playing music" (no matter how poorly) on a nearby AM radio was orders of magnitude more impressive than pointing out by the pattern of lit and unlit LEDs that your amazing machine had just calculated a logarithm. (even though the latter was significantly more difficult from a programming perspective!) Once I got a printer, being able to print out NSFW pictures was a neat trick but for crowd appeal and cheap accessories, music over an AM radio was still the top demo of the time :-)
Wasn’t this in the front page like last week?
Speed does help. I read up and practice speed-reading for quite a while. I'm no longer interested in the number of books read per year but I'm more picky these days, digesting the best I can of the lesser number of quality books that I read.

I still do speed-reading when I stumble on part of the book that are not interesting to me or I have read very similar concepts before (most non-fiction books in the same genre).

For context, I used to hit 60-70 books per year when I was counting. This year, due to the Pandemic (last time I checked) I have read over 70+ books as picked up by Goodread from Kindle. So, I will likely be hitting about 100 in total this year.

But yes, I will slow down and try to be more picky ahead.
Agreed, but look who got the last laugh.

> I always assumed it was user-driven like Wikipedia or Stack Overflow and that appears to be the case

Interestingly, there is now an "official process" for getting a page created. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Administrivia/Creatin...

I created a page a while back after reading the Wiki Magic page, which at the time described how a page might be created without much content and, if the community saw value in it, fleshed out by community members, as if by magic. The example given of the process was the Mega Neko page.

All of that has been removed, along with the notion that it might be OK to just create a page and see what happens. But although the official process was already in place when I made my page, the direct process hadn't been shut down. I didn't even realize I wasn't supposed to.

Coming back to something of a point, TvTropes, like Wikipedia, seems to have come around to the conclusion that user-generated content was valuable in the past, but they don't want more of it than they already have.

Firing someone is not automatically bad if they happen to check particular boxes. It's the other way around: Firing someone because they happen to check particular boxes is an issue.

If someone is actively bad at their job or is sabotaging others in the workplace, it's quite reasonable to demand their resignation regardless of their sex, age, or family situation, even if it's unpleasant.

He literally wrote in his journal about how he hoped that having these people murdered would make it easier to run his drug empire..

Ulbricht isn’t a good person, he had a very bad lawyer which probably cost him several decades of imprisonment but just because he was a “hacker” who did his crimes with new technology doesn’t somehow make him better than any of the other people in prison for the same crimes. Seriously, sit down and read the journals they admitted into evidence, the guy is a sociopath focused on getting rich through selling drugs he knew were killing people.

And... I would find clemency for Snowden an unexpected and unmitigated success. I would find clemency for Assange somewhat dubious, given the association with the Trump campaign. If that link (between Assange and the Trump campaign) really exists, wouldn't it be just more of Trump's transactional (awarding support or loyalty) pardoning... real or perceived at the least?

Edit: clarifications in parenthesis.

Well if I wasn’t already convinced that hooks were a bad idea, this cemented it for me. What a bunch of confusing complexity to mix up with something that otherwise looks like a function. Data in, data out, and mysterious side effects that look like functions too! Track them... with dev tools I guess? I’m sure they’re plenty testable... with mocks? I’ve spent a lot of time criticizing angular for implicit magic, but at least they’ve tried to make it seem like you can pass values and substitute things.

I still vastly prefer JSX for frontend dev but I think really that’s about all I care for in this ecosystem.
There are a couple of super easy techniques you can implement. I got mine from the Tim Ferriss book 4 hour work week. I think this blog by him provides a good summary: https://tim.blog/2009/07/30/speed-reading-and-accelerated-le...

I won't do this for books I want to enjoy such as fantasy and sci fi (although sometimes through the more monotonous parts). I will use a few of these for articles/papers until I get to a part which is more technical. Good luck!
