It depends on both the person and the environment.

In an environment that places stress on those who underperform, anything that calls attention to performance problems will be hated. Anyone that points out those problems will be disliked. Even the best people will fall to this stress.

In a more relaxed environment that isn't constantly counting points towards raises and promotions, people can relax and not worry about the problems that are raised. However, not everyone can manage this. Some people have just had too many jobs of the previous type, or other experiences like that. They just can't adjust.

IMO, it also means they have a much harder time fixing their own problems because they can't tolerate other people pointing out those problems.

As for code reviews, I always call it like I see it. It's my job to make sure the code will work and be secure. I'm not going to let things slip by that violate that, no matter how much I want that person to be happy. And I'll still point out matters of style as well, though I usually won't insist they be corrected, unless the person has repeatedly had the same problem. (My people are generally great, though, and will fix even my suggestions. So it's generally not a thing.)

You'd probably hate that last bit of my code reviews. If we were on a team, my advice would be to simply discuss that part with me in real time. We could decide together if it was worth the effort to make those changes. Async communications like PRs and emails simply aren't fit for that kind of discussion.
There was another group during that era doing something similar with sodium hydroxide, which is a little less... violent. Not quite sure I recall how that chemistry worked, but I think the idea is 'find something where the hydrogen bonds are easier to crack than H2O'.

Now there are other groups trying to figure out if they can increase the power capacity of batteries by replacing the electrolyte. Which sounds like a fuel cell/battery hybrid to me.
You could add that bin/ to your PATH, but you'd also need something else to load the venv before executing it. You could write a generic wrapper that would load the env and call the Python binary and put that in a more generic bin/, but that's the kind of thing this proposal seems to make irrelevant.

Another issue with wrappers is how quickly it executes. It's not a big deal for most executions, but for --help or building up a command pipeline it's really annoying to wait a second or two on each execution. That slow startup time also shows up when you start integrating it into automated processes.
> The CEO did not explicitly state that they were quitting because they wanted time and space to plan their future.

Yes they did.
Anecdotal, but I have to root for eggs whenever I get the chance. I've eaten at least 3 eggs a day every single day for almost a decade, before which I didn't stick to a number and would often eat 6-8 eggs a day. My doctor recently told my cholesterol was perfect. Maybe I'm an exception or maybe I have the right genes for eggs, no idea. But they're definitely not an automatic health disaster like many people think they are.
Safari. Unprecedented performance/battery life ratio.
no thats not the only logical explanation, simple callousness and a deep misunderstanding of the basic technology that runs the world is much likelier
Ok, so now the only people who can build more capacity are instead writing documentation?sounds like a great idea in the middle of a crisis.
Honestly I feel where you’re coming from, I used to think exactly like you. But I slowly came to my current sad realization.

Right now I do believe that free wrong info is actually more damaging than paid correct info. But I am open to and wish for a third option or a solution which is more inclusive and less "for the privileged".
I think the author is seriously confused over the value of some crap his startup created in a couple man years vs actual products with market share, long term maintenance and thousands+ of man years of engineering/testing/documentation time. He even admits that they were rewriting large parts of it on a regular basis. That by itself indicates much of the code actually had little value, if the engineers themselves were throwing it away.

It would be really hard to convince MS/Google/apple/etc that their primary products source code doesn't have any value.
Generally, for just plain old fraud or similar, this gets close to it for me. In this particular case however, where the wrong doing resulted in many deaths I think some other approach is appropriate.

I would really like to see more argument over why jail time is not an appropriate response for senior leaders within organisations that currently suffer nothing more than a fine. Where an organisation has shareholders if the fine is really big then the persons perceived as responsible will, presumably/hopefully, see their career prospects suffer but really to provide an incentive where the benefits can be supremely high I think seeing a few of your peers spending time in jug would help. I appreciate the problem is knowing who to jail and I appreciate that's a hard problem and I don't have a ready answer for it.
Approaching from the mentality of doing a proof is valuable for establishing anything about code, even when it isn't security-sensitive. I think many programmers do this instinctively, and some don't do it at all. You can spot the difference by asking a question like,

"Why do no records get dropped in this step?"

Some programmers will have an argument resembling a logical proof: "No records get dropped because for every record, we call a method to write the record into the outgoing artifact, and if that call fails, the entire stage aborts. The flow of control never reaches the point where the outgoing artifact is added to the database for delivery. The lack of a successful delivery record for the batch triggers an alert after an hour and ensures the system will keep reprocessing the batch until it succeeds, or until the batch gets manually flagged as bad."

Other programmers will say something like: "Well, all the records get passed in, and we write them all to the artifact. We had some bugs in this code, but they haven't been hard to fix, and anyway, if something goes wrong, the process is retried later."

This has been a big thing on my mind recently because I've been asked to do a design review for a system created by some high-SLOC-productivity people who built a complex system with a sophisticated-looking architecture but who keep giving me answers like the second one. There's a bunch of cool tech but no coherent explanation of why they they believe the system will work reliably. It's just, well, there have been some bugs, and of course it doesn't work when there are bugs, but we're fixing them.

Until you have an argument for why a system works, there's no coherent way to understand why it doesn't work, and what the effort will be to achieve different aspects of reliability. It's just "bugs." With such an argument, you can target specific aspects of reliability instead of playing the "it'll work when the bugs are gone" eternal game of whack-a-mole.

Granted, this isn't very rigorous, but 99% of the time, it's the closest you'll get to "proof" in application code.
Cool.

But be very careful of such apps.

They're all based on historical results and often leave out crucial fees and spread that you would incur in high volatility environment. Nor they account for slipping, missing the bus, buying late etc.

A- if it's to good to be true, it is

B- in a gold rush the people getting consistently rich are the ones selling shovels and buckets.

I'm sure technically wise this app is an achievement and I don't want to take away from that, but when it comes to trading algos: ideas are cheap, execution is everything. And you won't beat the big boys at this game.
Hmm it feels like this should be regulated but I don’t know enough about US law...
I'm always so impressed by Postgres' features and performance. I am unfortunately not as impressed with Postgres' operational model. As a disclaimer, I'm not highly familiar with very many databases, but it seems like Postgres sticks out as a poorly suited for robustly automated infrastructure.

Maybe I'm totally wrong on this, looking forward to reading other perspectives.

edit: If you’re going to down my post can you at least reply and tell me why? I’m asking questions to learn things outside my own perspective.
>No tips and actually paying employees what they are worth is even better.

There's plenty of resistance from the servers themselves, though. Whenever this subject comes up on kitchen-pros related subreddits, IIRC this just came up not too long ago (/r/kitchenconfidentials, I think?) servers don't want to take straight wages over tips. I always think qualifiers like "better" doesn't mean better for everyone. Some servers make so much in tips, or think they can exceed their straight wages in tips, that they believe the current system favors them. Much like the majority of SWEs on HN are vociferously resistant to the idea of a SWE union.
I don't think the statement reflects their full reasoning when you consider the context of how they had been putting out other statements about why they weren't banning him.
Actually haven't used that one, it's even older it seems. Just got it to compare, so can't tell you yet which one to recommend.
Brief summary: The regular limit is 8 h per day, but can be extended to 10 h per day as long as the daily average doesn't exceed 8 h/day as measured across a six-month period (the averaging period can be extended to up to a year by agreement).

The thing to note is that the average is based on the official working week, which to this day still runs six days, Monday to Saturday. So as long as you're working less than 48 h/week, it's actually impossible to exceed the 8 h/average day limit and 3x10 h is perfectly fine from that point of view.

Extra pay and/or extra days off are only mandated for night-time work, anything else is a matter for wage agreements or your individual contract.
I had no technical problems with the site, but it really irritates me that I have to scroll down half a screen just to get to see the next bullet point. I closed it before reaching the end of the page.
Lots of schools do this. You'll often hear college campus tour guides mention it to their groups.
If I were king, I'd look into retraining biomedical grad students/postdocs to go into medicine. We've got a massive (taxpayer-funded!) glut of the latter and many of them have a relevant background and even skills.

Yet, only a few places currently try to convert PhDs to MDs; most places are overwhelmingly geared up for undergrads coming straight out of pre-med programs.
The American Archaeological Association: Fact or Fraud? – Archaeology Review
This.

The wildy differing research results indicates to me that the science of diet and health is just really hard. You can’t easily create control groups for longer running studies. You can’t easily control for (epi)genetic factors. There’s a tonne of other variables you also need to rule out.

And for individuals it’s still unclear whether the results apply to them or not.

Personally I’ve decided to go middle of the road, listen to my body and factor in more obvious things into my decisions about food, like animal cruelty, antibiotic resistance because of mass livestock keeping and consequences to the environment.
People don't routinely drive thousands of kilometers with their cars to go on vacation, they do however fly thousands of kilometers, because it's so fast.

In delivery I agree with you, even with boxes, it's much more efficient for one delivery truck to drive to 1000 households than 1000 households to drive into the city, even with public transit.
Ah, there's the problem. The scientific method is great, but it doesn't apply itself. It's scientists that are the problem. Scientists are only human.

Let's do an experiment. Or better, let's do a Gedankenexperiment so we sound more like experts:

Look around your (virtual) workplace. See that well-spoken idiot who you know is wrong about everything, but who somehow gets the attention and the money to run whatever projects they want? That's the expert.

You are not the expert, even though you know more stuff, because nobody asks you. And when you insisted they were wrong, they got rid of you.

The same thing happens everywhere, in academia, science, government, medicine... everywhere. We are only human.

But not to worry! It's all right. Thanks to the scientific method science actually advances, even if it's one funeral at a time. Just be careful who you trust.
Setting aside the very necessary questions around the pros and cons of ed tech, from a strictly IT-management standpoint the support costs for iPads will be vastly lower than for PCs, especially a 350€ PC.

Yes and most disgracefully.
The Fed Chair is the one who stimulates the economy since the late 90s, it doesn't matter who is elected
My cat used to do the same. But then I found out that she likes the color red (or orange). Once I switched to that collar it would only come off every few days and seemed more like an accident. She also likes the bell and when she first got it would proudly walk in a way that made a lot of noise.

So idk if this helps, but maybe try different colors and configurations and find what your cat likes. Also tightness has a lot to do with it.
The front-and-center portfolio is the "Boglehead" three-fund portfolio, which is stock/bond index funds. It's not exactly the too-good-to-be-true gold rush model.
The thing that really keeps elections secure, practically, is adversarial observers. If you want people to have faith in the election, this is the system to explain, and demonstrate. You can even go be an observer if you like.
That and to push through unpopular decisions: "look we don't want to fire 30% of our workforce, but the consultants told us we need to to maintain our profit margin"
> If we take this at face value, then the beauty of a face is not the same as the beauty of a painting. Beauty is plural, diverse, embedded in the particulars of its medium.

My problem with such neurological research, and much other research, is that the implications typically derive that an average positive effect among the sample size constitutes a universal positive effect. This is specially dubious in cases such as this where an individual negative effect is impossible to offset it, as there is a zero point.

There is no such thing as a negative effect here, the zero point is that the beauty of a face is the same.

Thus, assume, for sake of argument, that for 50% of persons, the beauty of the face be the same as that of a painting, and that for 50% it not be.

This will measure an average positive effect, and from that there are often made conclusions that there is a universal positive effect. In fact, such average positive effects will be measured with a sufficiently large sample size if the positive effect only exist in 1% of the same size, as again, there is no negative effect possible.

The historical common assumption was that human neurology can be assumed to be quite consistent, but I am not so sure in the light that it is often found that neurological research is often no longer reproducible if it even be moved to a different city.

This issue is especially something that is near and dear to me, because I've noticed that some of the people I know seem to indeed draw a distinction between humanoid beauty, and beauty of nonhumanoids, and some I know don't. I also see in such people that they seem to be far more interested in a man's clothing and hair than his face, to decide whether they find him beautiful.
Along with the whole different release times thing.

People obviously have different metabolisms, so the duration of effect was different for different people. When these people told their doctors that their dose didn't last a full 8 hours, and they were experiencing pain after, say, 6 hours... their doctors were advised by Purdue to simply up their dosage, rather than give them a different dosing schedule. Pretty direct approach to creating addicts.
Their emphasis is on speed because shareholders care about vehicle deliveries and guidance[0], and their net income depends on the sale of regulatory credits that are granted when Tesla sells a car in a ZEV state[1].

I visited Venkateswara Temple in India, which gets some 50~100k visitors daily. The main takeaway I got was that it doesn't really matter what the path is -- you don't get a say in the matter. The flow of the crowd moves you along, and that's all there is to it.

You have people pushing from all around you (in a vague general direction), and next to no space to actually influence your movement -- and the lack of choice in the matter is fairly incredible. The pushing stops coming from any particular place, it just becomes some indeterminate feeling of pressure forcing you along.

I'm quite positive you could easily be crushed by it, getting caught between a pole somewhere in the path, and with no external factor to influence the crowd (a wall is clearly visible, a pole is not), simply be pressed against it indefinitely.

A stadium probably isn't an intense, but likely similar -- once you're in the stream, the only thing that matters is stream.

Eventually, you're suddenly ejected from the stream and have to figure things out for yourself again.

Show HN: Favorite writing / journaling tool? Half-finished projects welcome
I’m specifically looking for a tool a user shared on here that facilitated writing for content by scrolling up and disappearing text as new text was inputted. I believe it was a HTML/JSS only solution - a small personal project. I’ve done a lot of focused searches, but haven’t been able to find this comment.

That said, I love these sorts of projects. I know they’re a self-indulgence and often a distraction. I’m celebrating that for a moment, personally.

Please share your favorites writing tools, the smaller and more personal the better.
I'd like to see at least a cursory "how it works" section (unless I missed it?). Do you plug into the API of some broker platform?
The relative worthlessness of source code can easily be seen when the situation is flipped around. When you're told you can look at e.g. a competitor's source code, some open source code somewhere, or a prototype that a colleague already built during a proof-of-concept, that will almost never make you go much faster.

Meanwhile, I think organisations underestimate the cost of attempting to keep source code secret. It adds friction to almost every step of the development process, compared to not worrying about whether your build logs or repositories are publicly accessible, even if they're not open source.
If done in isolation, it'll mean the price of college will go up and a lucrative industry of ways to scam 18-year-olds out of their baby bond money will spring up. Also, it's going to pad the accounts of whatever banks or mutual funds are chosen to administer the system.

If I were tweaking the program, I'd make it so that you could withdraw 5% of the value of your savings account each year from 18-22, 10% from 22-25, and get the balance at 25. Give people a chance to learn how the real world works and get scammed with lower dollar values before dumping all this money on them. I'd also consider just making it an outright grant at the time the money goes to the person, rather than a savings account with an accruing balance. This cuts down on the amount of graft that the financial industry can manage, makes the government expenditures more predictable, and eliminates potential injustices based on how well the money is invested.
No, the "food pyramid" is different. It's an absolute lie based on no research whatsoever. See https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/rebuilding-the-fo...

I had similar problems at work until I realized there were two competing agendas at play. One group wants the slides to be "here's a record of what I talked about so people who didn't make it can read it later", while another wants the slides to be "here's stuff that supports what I'm talking about now". Those are fundamentally incompatible, and it's a bad idea to try to use a deck generated for one purpose to satisfy the other.

One potential solution is two slide decks--one for the presentation and one as a "reading deck", but that's a pain in the neck. Another option we're currently using at work is to go with the Amazon 6-page-paper: write what you're going to talk about, and then the slides are only to support the actual presentation. The paper is the thing people read if they missed the meeting.
"This study applies Benford’s law to detect anomalies in county-level vote data for the 2020 US presidential election. Most prominent distribution violations are observed with Republican vote counts in blue states, all vote counts in states won by the Democratic candidate, and Democratic vote counts in swing states. Distributions are anomalous in swing states won by the Democratic nominee and not anomalous in swing states won by the Republican nominee. The results are robust to two-digit analysis, Monte Carlo simulations of p-values, broad or narrow swing state definitions, and when compared to distributions observed in 2008, 2012, and 2016 elections." - Detecting Anomalies in the 2020 US Presidential Election Votes with Benford’s Law, https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3728626
All of these "free money!" ideas sounds absolutely fantastic until we get to "okay, so where does the money to pay for it come from?"

I see that the article completely omits the possible source for this funding.

She has that disabled.

The app was only installed on her iPhone, not her iPad. The App store list says she bought it ”today”, but no time is provided.

The notification emails from Apple don’t include the IP address of the device causing the event, it seems, so no way to know if it was ”us”.
A Python interpreter rewritten in Rust, that can run pip
AFAIK, It's mainly used for implementing gradient descent, which is used for training neural networks.

Frameworks like pytorch, tensorflow, probably used back propagation to calculate the gradient of a multidimensional function. But in involves tracing, and storing the network state during the forward pass.

Static automatic differentiation should be faster and should look a lot like differentiation is done mathematically rather than numerically.

Of course there are more applications to AD in scientific computing.
