> You can't just swap it out too, you need a mainboard with a 9-Series chipset, which you usually don't if you are running a Haswell.

There are many Z97 boards out there that currently run a Haswell processor, all of them do support this broadwell alternative.

> Well, it has the faster iGPU thats for sure. But if you use it for work it is usually slower:

The pc-kombo collected benchmarks do not use the integrated graphics, that's all cpu performance with usually a high end gpu.

The 5775C not only has a better IPCs, it has 128 MByte eDRAM "L4" cache. That's just cool and helps some applications a lot. That it is slower in some benchmarks is just because of the lower turbo clock. Overclock it and it will always be faster than the 4790K - it likely won't reach the turbo clock of the 4790K, but it just needs to come close, together with the higher IPC that should be enough. Then you have the performance advantages that the gaming benchmarks show and match the performance of the 4790K in the multithreaded application benchmarks.

It's just seldom available, but sometimes when searching for used processors like the 4790K the 5775C turns up and can be had for less.
I'd say, about any beginning of a civil war, or the establishment of a totalitarian/autocratic regime is much like this. It may start in problem space, but it soon turns into "this problem is that severe that those in command/the other side is not to be trusted, to an extent where it must be excluded from the discussion". From this point onwards, it's just about collecting power and suppression, as it is about a certain partition being (systematically) excluded from the establishment of the general consensus.
I'm curious if the tooling could be made to work with a "default deny" policy, that is, is there enough info to generate the IAM policies when you get "permission denied"?
I wonder if the customer service department at a large FMCG company would be so empowered as to send such a detailed response these days. I'd expect either no response or a generic answer with goodwill a voucher.
Well, we are commenting on a site called "Hacker News"; so I guess you do have to expect and be tolerant of people who would try their hand at wetware hacking too.

I think a lot of people here probably think they're as smart or smarter than the average Google, Microsoft or Apple engineer. (Some readers are actually Google, Microsoft or Apple engineers, and some (others) may -indeed- be smarter).

Possibly some amount of hubris comes with the territory? ;-)

Robert Martin is the dude that said the only acceptable target is 100%. Of course he also said you shouldn't plan to actually hit that target, just get as close as is possible without having to test things that don't matter like frameworks.

Kent Beck recently went through and clarified TDD and he definitely doesn't advocate 100%. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlmVY7qtgT_lkbrk9iZNizp97...
Righty tighty, lefty loosey, right? But I don't think there is a convention when it comes to twist ties, because a twist tie isn't something that gets tighter or looser. It's more closely related to spinning.

I'd bet lefties spin tops counterclockwise, too, by and large. Seems to me it comes down to external rotation of the wrist being easier than internal.
You’re right that direct democracy measures are a correlation. My point was not that there’s a red/blue divide in current law, but that my educated experience working in the industry informs me that there’s low political will in many red states to legalize & high political pressure to resist it. I’m very familiar with the legal map, don’t need a wiki link thanks.

Tech is interesting, title is clickbait. There are many important conditions which will leave no trace outside the body. This is why long term I’m excited about ultrasound getting cheaper, allowing individuals to look inside themselves more frequently.

As a novel signal or biomarker, figuring out aromatic traces of diseases we didn’t even know about seems cool too. So in that sense this is interesting.

But no, diagnosing disease is obviously multimodal. And I’m not at all convinced this would even be the most important modality, even in the distant future.
How's your health been since the infection if you don't mind the question?
Simulations are one of the ways we can see where complexity leads.

The work of OpenAI on Dota show how RL can produce a successful emergent behavior in response to complexity.
This is a somewhat sad time capsule of the dying days of (passenger) and general waning days of rail in Canada. At 7:30 he is riding into the central Union Station in Ottawa, on rail infrastructure that is now 100% gone. At about 8:50 on the Alexandra Bridge which (minus rails) is still in use and a beautiful example of the "rivet era" of steel bridges, but nearing the end of its useful life, they say, to be replaced by something different. And at 9:30 he is zipping past the old Wakefield station which (as in the movie) is still around and a restaurant. Those rails were in place until less than a decade ago, with a steam tourist train on them, but are now gone too. The high, partly wooden trestle bridge at 10:15 may well be the one at Paisley, Ontario. It still stands but rails go nowhere near that place any more. And those are just the locations I recognize.

Time moves on and rail transport becomes obsolete, but one can still be nostalgic about it.
Why do you think it's a bad idea to make your own vaccine?

Does your opinion change if you assume the person making the vaccine has had lab training?
Honestly depending on how you interpret TDD it might be to strict but thinks which I belive are never to strict and always a good idea is:

- Writing tests first.

- Have a write test => write code => loop.

But there are some people which are pedantic about how small the loop needs to be or insisting that TDD excludes doing any planing about aspects like how you likely will structure code on a larger picture and similar (i.e. software architecture).

At the same time there are tools/library/framework/language combinations which are testing in generally really hard and can play really bad with TDD. While I believe such tools should be avoided there are situations in which you can not do so and in which you furthermore due to e.g. time constraints are simile not able to do any proper testing including TDD. It's kinda a nightmare situations but it does happen.

EDIT: Yes I realized I responded to the wrong comment :(
> The researchers noted that this type of elite, white-collar crime is understudied especially when compared with street crime even though it has more wide-reaching consequences.

Isn't that something. We spend most of our effort chasing the crime of least consequence? Now why would that be?
The top right pane has Variable Explorer,Help, and Plots tabs. Plotly plots using the png or svg renderers will be displayed there. Not interactive though.
VS Code on the other hand can do what you're looking for if you specify the "plotly_mimetype" renderer for your plots.
Okay, you definitely deserve praise for that this prevents problems in a real world scenario. Now I feel a bit bad for having made you write so much code.

In the evil world, I can break your code like that:

try {
add(1, 2, 3, 4)
} catch (e) {
if(e !== "You may only pass arguments a and b")
throw "boom";
}

However, you can of course make your exception string generic.

Then I'll have no choice to use one of my jokers: calling "add.toString()" and inspect your function in detail. Before you scream that this is stupid, please mind that this is actually used out there (looking for example at you, angular).
I ask that all the time, but start with "Pardon my ignorance" or "I know you must have good reason, but..."
> Who are the proponents of TDD that promote 100% adherence even when it's not a good match for the situation?

While nobody proposes TDD "when it's not a good match", plenty of people overestimate the cases where they think it's a good match.

Plenty of TDD proponents believe you shouldn't write a single line of code without a test first. I've met them, and they believe it's a good match for the situation.

It's not helped by notorious failures like the infamous sudoku puzzle debacle -- a case where it was evidently not suitable, yet Jeffries went ahead and tried it anyway (and failed, predictably). The conclusion that TDD was not suitable for this kind of algorithmic exploratory development was somehow never reached...
An MD is the first degree one earns in the subject. It takes four years to earn. It used to be a bachelor's degree: MB or MBBS. In the modern era, the premed requirements pushing total medical education to five and a half years probably justifies making the degree a master's degree. The residencies and fellowships that physicians do after earning the MD that are virtually required for any physician to practice probably make calling physicians "doctor" appropriate.

Still, calling the MD a doctorate is questionable.
This explained a few things very nicely which I had in my mind for what makes readable code, but had never grasped well enough to be able to describe it so neatly. So thank you to the author and the submitter - I have bookmarked it and will be able to refer to it when I am writing code or reviewing pull requests :)

Specifically, I always have in mind that a function should "only do one thing", so having multiple layers of abstraction in the same function would be picked up by that rule generally, but I like the explanation given with "if a welcome email has not already been sent, send a welcome email". This approach also makes it easier to test parts of code in isolation.
Can't you do this with expectations of failure, especially if your functions under test aren't total functions?

I really like encoding failure types into the type signature of my code (assuming types).

defa(x: str) -> Union[str, AnErrorType]:

That way, it is clear that your code may fail, and so you must test the unhappy path as well. Limits the places you might be able to throw and read/write input, and requires an effect type, but keeping functions total allows for fewer bugs and fewer places to test horrible things happening.
The US is just not really into titles. We make exceptions for the clergy and medicine--and to a more limited degree within academia. But a lot of people find an insistence on titles in other contexts off putting.

Per another comment. Look at a typical event registration form in the US. These days you probably have Mr., Ms., and prefer not to say. Fill one out for a (non-tech) event in the UK or Europe and you may have dozens of titles to choose from.
I would guess that the service restored the old password. It fits the evidence and is the sort of thing that a business of that type would do.
It was scorned because they basically skipped phase 3 testing and started injecting people. The fact that it worked after the fact Doesn’t make it any less reckless.
The key word is "provable."

There's no evidence that your toaster sex club is going to escalate to murder. Possibly some painful burns and embarrassing visits to the ER, but hey, part of being in a free country is you've got to let the weirdos be.

This is probably fine for most eccentric behavior.

It does not work on the ideas suggested above. We know this because variations of those ideas consistently escalate to murder.
More like bugging in this case.

The idea here is to deliberately inject bugs to see if your tests catches them.
Yep, this was my understanding too. It doesn’t change the fact that the area in space and time is now occupied by grabby aliens. The model and diagrams could easily be modified to use some heuristic like allowing older civilizations to take over younger ones when they collide, but it wouldn’t really matter for the purposes of the argument.

You get more power pushing with your thumb than pulling with it. My thumb is stronger over one way over the other.
This is definitely not it, although it looks like it because of geography. The trend is actually just urban/suburban growth and suburban leftward shift. It can be seen elsewhere. And while the biggest growth is near the capitol, there is far more an influx of contractors, tech workers, and halo industry to support/profit off of that high-income growth.
The treatment of some of these diseases (especially cancer) depends heavily on when you discover it. If this were built into every cell phone, nobody would make it past stage 1 cancer.

And based the log on my hand, probing is really "mainstream" now days. I have a Shadowsocks proxy instance started since Oct 20 last year, and it's been attacked

$ docker logs shadowsocks 2>&1| grep "AEAD: repeat salt detected" | wc -l

times total. The last 6 happened less than 10 minutes ago. My expectation is, TLS will be probed even more, because the handshake parameters (the order of CipherSuite for example) itself could leak a lots of info about the client&server.

It's not easy to build a protocol that is cryptographically safe all while keep the traffic characterless/innocent. Could be a "World Changing Event" if somebody discovered a way through.

I think you are overestimating the amount of leverage companies have on their employees.

At this day and age, the contrary to unchecked tyranny is by far the norm, and the trend is clear.

In less than 100 years we have moved from sweat shops and pinkertons to foosball tables, on-site chefs, and summer fridays.

I do not see how you can interpret this trend and assume this will reverse 180 degrees, because companies want to offer even more benefits now under the company county model.
>Although Russia's weapons worked just fine, the US over-estimated Russian belligerence and grossly under-estimated the CCP.

Imagine if the people of Russia and USA could unite with Europe and form the basis of a new state.

Seems like it'd be worth the effort a bit more than going to Mars. Or, maybe the two conditions will be .. related.
There is nothing basic about climate science. You're talking about a massive, chaotic, nonlinear system.

Case in point, from the article:

>present thinking holds that man has a time window of five to 10 years before the need for hard decisions regarding changes in energy strategies might become critical

Yet decades later that window continues to shift. This was an unverified theory in the 70s, and rightly so - we had spatially sparse measurements at the very tail end of a time series which naturally cycles on the order of hundreds to millions of years. For example a consensus has only recently formed that the oceans have been absorbing energy and delaying atmpspheric temperature rise.

Finally, the sources for that Scientific American are InsideClimate and Greenpeace, which are at least as biased as any oil company, just in reverse. I know that oil companies are the Philip Morris du jure, but this article is just retroactive demonization.
I broadly agree, especially with your description of internal politics.

But I also think it's important to admit that JIT actually has real benefits. It's not "just" a finance or paper magic exercise. JIT is an approach to answering to the question of "how much inventory do I hold at each stage of distribution", where inventory held really IS money that you can't spend else where. As in, it's money you can't spend on salary, or R&D or line expansion or anything.

The risk management part is where shit goes astray.

No. The statistics here are absurd:

"We compiled data on 250+ US public companies involved in corporate securities frauds identified in 1,000+ Securities and Exchange Commission filings over 2005–2013; we randomly selected a comparable control group of 500+ US public companies from Compustat."
> we feed the cat out of the can

Don't you get problems with sharp edges that way? Also, even short cans have a geometry that I would expect to be hard to clean out completely with a cat's relatively short tongue. Also, cans are very light, doesn't the cat move the can all over the place compared to a heavier feeding dish? So many questions...

> Also, if you don't feed out of the can, now you have to store half a can of wet food in your fridge (ew).

Around here many people have reusable plastic lids to put on open cans, those work well. The bigger problem is feeding fridge-cold food to your cat, which is apparently not ideal. When I had cats we mostly fed them with individual portion-sized pouches. That generates a lot of non-recyclable waste though.
If you're looking into software development, and assuming you already have skills to build things, then you could start as a freelance developer and build simple mobile apps or simple websites for people/businesses. This will take 2-3 years of hard work for you to take off, but once you're there it can be worth it. From there, if you want more stability, you can make your way into a small web/app agency and work with a team.

If you want something more manual, then you should look into skilled trades that have shortages right now in your current state/country, and which have a decent hourly wage. For example, good electricians, plumbers, carpenters, etc., are hard to find. And they're not (yet) at risk of being disrupted by AI and automation in the next 10-15 years.

I hope this helped. Hang in there!
I would not say that - maybe you meant only dynamically typed languages? Even then I'm not sure...
Science/Nature are prestigious, but the quality of their articles are often questionable. Part of the problem is the short format, which makes it difficult to include a lot of context and sanity-checking. Another issue is that they prioritize the “sexiness” of the research over pretty much everything else.
AFAIK Credit Suisse have their quant library written in F#.
Mutually assured destruction on a planetary scale does come about rather early in a civilization's history (if we're assuming galactic, or beyond-galactic scales of civilization). But that doesn't really mean it is easy to come about on a galactic or universal scale. Is an enemy destroying a planet or solar system you control really such a big deal when you're battling to control a third of the universe? Even having an entire galaxy destroyed would be like an enemy destroying someone's living room on an earth-scale.

Of course, this is all just making guesses about technology way beyond our current comprehension. Maybe universe-destroying bombs come up rather early in technology on this scale. Who knows.
Indeed, the ways to write efficient code are driven by testing and measuring rather than trying to write code that is efficient (probably with silly micro-optimisations) from the start. The importance of readability to efficiency is that it would be good for your code to be obviously linear (or n log n) from reading it.

The most significant efficiency improvements typically come from better algorithms or data structures in specific cases. Sometimes improvements to heuristics too. Lesser improvements may come from optimising hot code (eg making it better for the cache) or fundamental language changes (e.g. in a more statically typed language, field accesses may be pointer dereferences, or even better pointer addition, rather than hashtable lookups. But languages like python probably have better tuned general-purpose hashtable implementations than you’ll likely find elsewhere. Also changing default data structures from e.g. linked lists and binary trees to arrays (or something array like) and b-trees (or some other shallow tree) will likely be good)
I should have been clearer in that I meant physical withdrawal - where your body needs a substance, previously provided externally by the drug, to function. So someone accustomed to heroin use will suffer jangly nerves (among many other things) when it isn't in their system. See [1].

Similar, if lesser, physical effects happen to those with an alcohol dependency when alcohol is suddenly cut off [2]

These things are physical, not just psychological. I'm an inveterate cannabis user, and have been since the age of 15, with a happy daily habit uniterrupted for years until I went to work in Qatar for just over a year. No cannabis was available, but I had no physical ill effects - was just grumpier and less chilled in general. Similarly, currently locked down and away from my usual habitat, I've not had a spliff for quite a few months. Again, I miss the vibe etc, but I am not in any physical pain.

The vaccine is co-produced by Pfizer, but was developed by BioNTech. Guess what the "BNT" in BNT162b2 stands for.

Thus I definitely would not call it "The Pfizer vaccine". The article not even once names the developing company or the vaccine's actual (unfortunately chosen) name Comirnaty.

That said: Great work, BioNTech! It also pulls into question Germany's "full coverage" strategy.

Clearly people here and these news articles are clearly missing the point.

People aren't betting on GME not only because they think they'll get lots of profits. Heck, some clearly say they're expecting to lose the money. They're doing it to screw over Wall Street hedge funds and some of them really did get screwed.

As always people lack to see the root of the issues and take or praise the wrong measures. It's as always the problem of the chicken and the egg but nobody seems to have the clue on who's the chicken.
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that Bill Gates really did want to inject poison into people as part of an agenda to bring about a 'new world order'. Obviously he would work very hard to conceal these intentions, so this would not be "observably" true or false by simply reading the newspaper to see whether he has or has not done it yet. You'd be left to draw conclusions from the publicly available facts. Some facts which one might view as supporting the proposition would be a close association with a convicted pedophile sex trafficker who professed eugenic beliefs, a publicly stated desire to reduce the population, or a history of distributing vaccines which caused actual and significant harm in at least one instance. Now, the fact that all these do apply to Bill Gates does not mean the proposition is necessarily true, but I don't see how you can say it's "observably" anything.
