How many people earnestly find fancy reports fun, and how many are just smiling and playing along to avoid being a wet noodle? In the case of Netflix, it was apparently one guy's passion project. Great for him, but how many netflix workers really feel like they're having less fun now that he's not doing it?

Just be an adult, keep working at the relationship. Spend time being there, available for the play that children enjoy. Be open, let the child lead the stories and tell you things. If there is a preschool, visit and volunteer. It can be easier if the other parent is not there while you play.

I wonder what has happened to human culture worldwide that 'safety' has been given primacy over all other considerations. If hitler had invaded france in 2020 instead of 1940, would the world have united to liberate france? I'm really not sure.
Interesting thought. A little part of me want to make a TCP-over-HTML cat pictures wrapper. Maybe put the payload in every fifth cat pixel or something. Should work for bmp:s right.
It's an interesting contrast to here in the US where you're assumed Christian, and certain sects actively try to force everyone (including other Christians) to live by their specific beliefs. I'd take confusion at not following any god over anger at not following a specific version of one.
What do you mean this is a perfectly valid statistical method to employ.

It's being used in all sorts of contexts, e.g. violent crime, men are X times more likely to commit violent crime. That number comes from instances of violent crime and then you related the percentage of instances committed by men to the percentage of men in the population.

That's the exact same methodology, except here in this study they use the control group to find what the average size of a public corporation is.
But I think in real life as well people live in their own bubbles. We see the world as we are but not for what it is. It's just that Internet takes it to whole different level.

I like to see Internet as catalyst. It accelerated speed of people becoming more conscious or more stupid. The choice is still in the hands of individual like it was before Internet.
Oye vey. I totally understand the sentiment of this article. The vaccine roll-out in the US has been maddeningly frustrating. But could we please stop comparing everything to "communist Russia"? IMO this article is nothing more than a fluff piece meant to generate outrage and clicks. No actual reporting went into explaining why the vaccine rollout is stalled. The author instead chose to write down some unsubstantiated anecdotes and cap the story off with the specter of communism. Perhaps I am being too harsh but I find articles of this nature incredibly frustrating and corrosive to productive discourse.

> My weight went from 340 pounds (hence the cardiac unit) to 160.

From one Internet Stranger to another, DAMN, good job! OCD or not, losing close to 200 pounds is a hell of an accomplishment. I'm down just a bit over 50 since May 2020, with an eventual goal of <185. It is also heart issues that inspired me (though my cardiologist says my symptoms are actually benign, I get PVCs so often that they make me anxious, which causes more PVCs, and so on). Being in my mid-40s with a BMI closing in on 40 and anticipating an early demise was very motivational. Still hard sometimes to be good, but every day is a new effort.

I'm just seriously impressed to hear of your success. It's inspiring!
Ah, we actually have one of these at Caddy: https://caddyserver.com/docs/architecture

(The filename on disk is literally "architecture.md" -- it is a Markdown file rendered by Caddy's template handler: https://github.com/caddyserver/website/blob/master/src/docs/...)

It could use some improvement, but it's been really great for helping people learn how Caddy 2 works at a high level. Beyond our docs, I always encourage new contributors to thoroughly explore the godoc and code: it's very well-commented and organized, especially once you know how it all comes together. A single document will never be sufficient. But it can help you map between concepts and code.

Code search is also invaluable for this; I recommend Sourcegraph: https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/caddyserver/caddy

Edit: One other valuable piece is explaining why the architecture is the way it is. Our architecture.md doc links to a video that explains how I arrived at Caddy 2's architecture (and why it's not arbitrary): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhJO8giOqQs

Philip K. Dick Computer Simulation Speech in Metz, France, 1977
Seems almost Google Closure (advanced) fails in half of the tests but otherwise wins the tests if it's successful. Seems to early to claim any "winner" here before someone manages to fix the tests.

A comment reads "google-closure-compiler is no longer maintained" but that's completely misleading. Maybe that's why the author didn't bother to fix their config for Google Closure?
For anyone interested in the subject, the Oxford Bodleian Library has an online collection of broadside ballads, which date back quite a long time in the UK: http://ballads.bodleian.ox.ac.uk

The broadside ballad was often used for news of the times, and it was common to set a new story to a tune that the general public already knew. Where it gets very interesting is how multiple folk songs spawn over time from one ballad or folk tale, such as "Scarborough Fair" and "Acre of Land" being vastly different (probable) descendants of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elfin_Knight.
They already built a system in Washington to keep track of where every single dose anywhere in the country is and redistribute it as necessary.

I take the existence of this system at-all to be emblematic of the general failure of government vaccine distribution.

I’ll offer up my reasoning if asked, but I would like you to think about why I say this and what type of accounting we should actually be practicing.
I am good. Just thought it meant something else.
If two people are unhappy with each other, then they should do whatever they want -- stay, go, who cares?

I agree with the sibling comment that whenever ML has not been used before on in a field and DL and especially DRL (deep reinforcement learning) are used, it is likely that the authors are ignoring decades of good research in ML.

After a very theoretical grad course in ML, I have come to appreciate other tools that come with many theoretical guarantees and even built-in regularization that are less Grad Student Descent and more understanding the field.

I think that the hype that was used to gather funding in DL is getting projected onto other fields, if only to gather more funding.
The transmission gate is pretty common in microprocessors. In NMOS circuits, it's a single transistor called a "pass transistor", but in CMOS it uses two transistors and is usually called a transmission gate.

It takes a logic signal as input, as well as a control signal. If the control signal is 1, the logic signal goes through to the output. If the control signal is 0, the transmission gate is disconnected. You can think of it like a relay-controlled switch, or a tri-state buffer.

The nice thing about MOS circuits is the gate resistance is almost infinite, so if you open a pass transistor, a gate on the output side will keep the old value (for a few milliseconds at least). So you can create latches almost for free. This is used very often in microprocessors. The disadvantage is the chip has a minimum clock speed, or else the data will leak away.

Pass transistors / transmission gates can also be used to implement multiplexers, selecting one of the inputs.

A disadvantage compared to regular logic gates is that a logic gate amplifies the input signal, while a pass transistor weakens the input signal. So you usually can't connect two pass transistor circuits together directly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pass_transistor_logic
Here is a more fun question: What is the optimal reproductive strategy that also maximizes the chance that the children also reproduce? I will add as an established fact that daughters has a higher base chance of reproductive success than sons, but sons have higher base variance.

Game theory should always be asked when biology is involved. I am not sure myself on the answer, but it seems more plausible than the article's "teenage girls are annoying" theory or the speculated "son preference" theory. If there is an optimal strategy, such a strategy may result in a small biological effect which makes parents look for a new chance of reproduction once the majority of child investment is done, resulting in the statistical data that shows 20.12% becoming 20.48%.
> you should always return in an 'if' branch

Interesting. This code style simply doesn't need 'else' at all. I can surely say, if I was reading a codebase that adhered to this discipline, it would be very easy to read.

What are your thoughts on how difficult it is to write code in this style?

> clear winner overall. It’s always the fastest

If you're mostly worried about how quickly you can minify when you do minify, then you're worrying about the wrong thing. You want as small results as possible that can be executed the fastest, how long time it takes doesn't really matter as you only minify on delivery to end-users, not every time you make a change locally.

So instead it seems Google Closure is the best, in the cases the author got it to work. Otherwise it's UglifyJS/Terser, depending on your needs.
Because it comes from the word minify, which I believe was created by Douglas Crockford. To my knowledge he created the first minify tool, JSMin, in 2001. He described using that tool as to minify.
I'm sure I agree, but surely there is something to how so many commentators here clearly immediately assume that the Prof's question must have been framed so that the best interpretation is condescending.

> But parents aren't just two people.

Yes, they still are. And parents that stay together in an unhealthy relationship can do more harm to their children than separating.
> One of the lessons I’ve learned is that the biggest difference between an occasional contributor and a core developer lies in the knowledge about the physical architecture of the project. Roughly, it takes 2x more time to write a patch if you are unfamiliar with the project, but it takes 10x more time to figure out where you should change the code.

This feels about right to me. Not sure a single doc will help solve that, but even if it cuts the time from 10x to 7x or 5x, it feels worth it.
I am curious about the statement:

"In California, Arizona, and the District of Columbia, local bar associations have penalized or advised against any non-lawyer (or suspended lawyer) from appending “Esquire” to their names, as it may erroneously signal the capacity to practice law."

If the title carries no legal weight how can a bar association "penalize" a non-lawyer for using it?

I ask because I have a friend who is a lawyer and used to include "Esquire" in his email signature. As a jab at him I started doing the same in group emails and he (jokingly) suggested I could be pursued legally for using that title.
I really love the recent resurgence of RSS feeds. It's so simple, yet very powerfull way to return to a more decentralized web.
Thanks. I’m not aware of how the term has traveled through history, so this is interesting. I just meant that, for most people, “doctor” is almost synonymous with physician, but, as you say, this may be more recent than I thought.
How I Prepared for the Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer Exam
I had one company a few years ago that tried to process payroll with crypto tokens. Its too complicated for employee relationships in the US. We ended up doing a fixed preallocated vesting amount, similar to RSUs.

We had a payroll company specifically for tax compliance and automation but any token payment to employees required us to do it ourselves. So vesting just reduced the number of times we needed to do it.

But contractors are much simpler.
I do optics design, and use "ray tracing" to analyze optical systems -- lenses, mirrors, etc. So imagine my surprise when I see a link for "ray tracing," and it's some graphical rendering that I can't fathom or use.

It is actually the same thing, but applied to different areas of interest. In both cases it uses equations from physics to form a simulation of light propagation that is accurate enough under certain conditions.

Optical ray tracing predates the computer age, so people learned analysis techniques that required tracing a bare minimum number of rays. In fact you can learn a lot about a simple system by tracing just two rays. For this reason, ray diagrams shown in optics designs tend to show relatively few rays.

But every optics designer wishes we could have the same cool tools as the graphics people, but with the analysis features that we need.
what they suggest is very similar to Architecture Decision Records (ADR's). https://adr.github.io/

TL;DR: ADR's are a design choice for a lightweight process to store and manage the history over what architecture decisions have been made in the past and why. They should be tracked within git so that the history of decisions and how these evolved is provided for free. Just track all this within an `adr/` subdirectory at the root of each project.

> Setting IT maintenance as a core strategy, rather than something that serves a strategy, is complete death.

IMHO, this part is spot on. However, it also does not mean that we should only go for the new, shiny, things. There is great value in maintaining the foundation and keeping it running smoothly so that others can go ahead and build the shiny things. We should just be careful and deliberate in assigning some of the value of that shiny things also to the foundations on which the shiny things were build.

If you ask support questions of AWS, you often get connected directly to the engineers responsible for the product, who are able to hunt down the cause of quirks for you by direct reference to their code.

What impresses me the most about this is the quality of triage required to pass just the questions that really need it on to the engineers to avoid oversaturating their bandwidth. I got connected to them almost immediately.

My anecdotal experience as a father of 3 daughters: my relationship definitely got worse and I believe the root cause is the diminished empathy from my wife, on the other hand my sister got 2 boys and our relationship became incredibly close, she became more empathetic to me and my father!
Yes, that's the point. You won't believe numbers from any communist country. So I provided nearby non-communist countries who have significant overlap in strategy, with good success, whose numbers you will believe. We can infer that even more stringent measures would have resulted in even better outcomes. Thus the communist countries are likely not lying about their numbers.
I was impressed by the number of cases...
That's the first time I hear that. I always understood minification and minimization as synonyms. What would minimizing code mean for you?

The FDA's continual foot dragging on approving Thalidomide is criminal. West Germany has already thoroughly reviewed it and decided it was safe for approval. Is there any reason to believe that German scientists are any less competent than their American counterparts?

The Intel iAPX 432 used variable bit length instructions, where instruction lengths could be pretty much anything, completely unaligned with bytes. As you might expect, this was kind of a mess.

The iAPX 432 was designed to be Intel's revolutionary follow-on processor to the 8080 with all sorts of bizarre features such as objects implemented in hardware. However, it fell behind schedule, so Intel created the 8086 as a stopgap processor until the iAPX 432 was ready. Things didn't turn out as expected; the 8086 took over the world and the iAPX 432 was a failure.
> even medical

I don't think so. If the FDA approves it and it gets removed as a Class I or II drug, it looks to me like the bill allows it with a prescription.
Sometimes it’s important to answer those questions: it spreads knowledge and generates trust in the expertise of the person being asked. Sometimes the suggestion might actually be a good one, too.

I'm usually quite skeptical on the whole quantified self thing, but if it fits your personality type it can be a big help to get you started at least. I'm old fashioned, I track my weight and workouts in a paper notebook and periodically enter my weight into a spreadsheet so I can spot any upward or downward trends.

The first question here is philosophical. I disagree with you as strongly as I could possibly disagree with you about anything. But it's ultimately philosophy and there's nothing much else I can say about it. (Well, beyond the obvious arithmetic, I guess. They are quite literally not just two people any longer.)

But as for the life outcomes of divorced children? That's quantifiable and the data simply disagree with you.

Full disclosure- I am one of the authors of the paper.

Note that the blog you're citing was written a year and a half ago. It refers to a select few conjectures, and naturally has no references to the developments in the past year and half (which were the main reason the paper got published).

Furthermore, the author of the blog didn't respond to multiple emails we sent him, attempting to discuss the actual mathematics.

So basically the vast majority of the criticism here, is based on a single, outdated blog, by a professor (respected as he may be) who has not revisited the issues and new results since first posting the blog, and has not given any mathematical argument as to why the results shown in the paper (the actual updated paper that was published) are supposably unimportant.

Would appreciate your opinions on the matter.
