Thank you, that's a good suggestion. Making a note
Something I've mused about is whether it would be possible to reason about performance characteristics at a types level, to statically identify things like quadratic behavior. No idea what this would look like; I just see this gap where type systems have gotten quite good at ensuring against incorrectness (not C's, of course, but that's another discussion), but there's almost no equivalent story for catastrophic performance regressions, which in some cases can be just as serious as a program-crashing bug.

Basically when it comes to performance we're still in the place that we used to be with correctness: "either read the entire stack of source code to understand everything that's happening, or try and remember to read the docs which may or may not be correct and exhaustive and just hope for the best".

The performance characteristics of a piece of code are part of its contract with the outside world, but that contract is in no way formalized right now.

no, it depends on the shape of the modeling function, and sociobiological functions are highly complex, possibly unknowable, but certainly not a simple linear function around which decisions revert to the same mean.

for instance, consider success to be a knowable function (like y = ax^2 + bx + c ). luck would be like having high (initial) coefficients and constants through no effort of your own (e.g., being born into a wealthy, connected family). hard work and good decisions might allow you to increase (or decrease through neglect/bad decisions) these coefficients at the margin, but the relative advantage often remains many multiples of the disadvantaged.
It doesn't matter. Both HVDC and batteries are cheaper than nuclear, by a lot.

The cost of solar, *including storage* is $40/MWh in Arizona *today*. Running that $40/MWh power to NY over HVDC is cheaper than a nuclear power plant. And according to the author, generating and storing the power in New York via solar or wind would be even cheaper.

At Waitwhile, we work on tools to eliminate the 1 Trillion hours that people spend waiting in lines every year.

We are looking for people that understand that simplicity and reliability are aspects of a system to be carefully calculated with every decision made.

These are full time positions in Stockholm, Sweden but we are open to remote work for the right person in GMT to GMT+2.

Not exactly a fair comparison as it doesn't appear to be counting the generation of the electricity for the EV.

However, EV's still win by a large margin. It's a lot easier to make one big powerplant clean, efficient, and cost effective rather than a million little engines that have to make tradeoffs for weight/size/performance etc...
I'm in love. I want this as part of an assertion workflow for some of the graph building interfaces we're envisioning for biological data. For example you could allow lines to call from autocompletes, and store some metadata (e.g. extensions of labels) so that the whole widget could be embedded in your tool.

SevenFifty Technologies | Frontend and Full-stack | REMOTE (US) | Full-Time

SevenFifty is looking for experienced frontend and full-stack web engineers to build applications and infrastructure for our platform which powers much of the beverage alcohol industry in the U.S.

We are U.S. based but fully remote, with a growing engineering team of 20+ people. Our web apps are built on Ruby on Rails and CoffeeScript/React, though if you're familiar with other modern web frameworks you definitely don't need specific experience with these to apply. In fact, if you're not sure whether you're qualified, we'd encourage you to apply anyway as we very much believe that skill and talent do not always map 1:1 to credentials or years of experience.

Our heavily established B2B SAAS platform aggregates data from thousands of companies across the country and aims to be the source of truth for product content in the industry, enabling product listing, advertising, sales, and insights from importers and suppliers all the way down to individual bars and retail stores.

> I think people need to realize you’re getting a terrible deal when you give Lambda School x% of your earnings at your first job

To people who have other options, yes, it's a bad deal. But to those who have no way of navigating those options, like the people mentioned in the article, fundamentally changing your options landscape in exchange for a fixed percentage of an income bump you never would have realized otherwise is a fantastic deal.

I say this as a largely self-taught programmer who at one time considered giving away a huge chunk of 2 years of salary in exchange for a programming bootcamp + apprenticeship type of opportunity (this was a few years before bootcamps became a mainstream thing). It was extremely tempting and many times on my self-taught journey I second-guessed whether I could figure it out on my own and TBH, without an extremely high level of self-confidence in my intelligence and scrappiness, I probably wouldn't have figured it out on my own.
Still didn't work for me
Right. Having a decent sized reusable first stage on Neutron gives RocketLab the option of a reusable upper stage down the road. It’s pretty tough to justify going for full reuse before you have even accomplished partial reuse. Something similar to the recovery method of Electron’s first stage would be appropriate for a reusable upper stage. (And at one time, SpaceX was planning it for Falcon 9’s upper stage... ballute/heatshield and parachute for Falcon 9 upper stage recovery).

We absolutely do have far too little grid battery in the US, and we haven't installed enough solar to provide power for most of the day. How do you get from there to 'and therefore we should give up on making more'?

The person you replied to linked to something demonstrating that solar is cheap even when counting the cost of sufficient battery storage. Perhaps you disagree with that assessment? If so, the fact that sufficient green power hasn't been built isn't an argument against building more.

Streamline Genomics | Multiple positions | Remote | https://streamlinegenomics.com

Do you want to build modern software systems at the cutting edge of cancer medicine?

We're creating the precision oncologist's computational toolbox: from data pipelines that sift through tumor genomes and filter and visualize mutations, to collaborative knowledge curation (think wikipedia, but for cancer genomics). It’s still the early days for us and there are plenty of high-impact challenges to solve!

Prior knowledge of biology is not required, but keenness to learn is.

We're a remote-first team with a timezone preference for the Americas. We're hiring for multiple senior positions (Backend, Frontend, Data/ML, Infrastructure/Security): https://angel.co/company/streamline-genomics/

--------

About you: You can comfortably debug across the stack and through system boundaries. You've been around the block and have your ideas about designing for security and performance, leading software projects, and evolving team processes.

About us: We have backgrounds in CS, medicine, and bioinformatics but we're primarily a software team and pride ourselves in our craft: We move fast and iterate, but write tests and have a QA protocol. We enable engineers to run with good ideas and ship, but we write design docs for risky projects and run retros after the fact. All our systems have CI/CD and our release cadence is as fast as we can build.

Current stack: Python 3 (Django, Flask, numpy, asyncio, pytorch), JS (node, d3, React/Vue), relational DBMSs (MySQL, Postgres, SQLite), docker, AWS, terraform, GitLab CI/CD.

Write to us: work [at] streamlinegenomics.com
>A 2014 Congressional report found that if more than eight transformers in the United States were destroyed simultaneously, the country’s entire grid system would collapse. Since it can take up to 20 months to build, test, and install new transformers, many areas could see extended periods with reduced grid power, or even none at all.

This is the scariest fact here. Even if we hardened against CMEs, there are other things that can threaten transformers(terrorism, extreme weather, etc). If it takes 20 months to replace these kinds of things(assuming you even have power to manufacture them), then we should have a backup supply. Ideally at least one for every one in operation.

to my understanding there is a long input string, completely in memory. that string consists of a gazillion of floats. the string is walked with a pointer, the floats are sscanf-ed one after the other. each of the sscanfs will call strlen once, but each strlen will scan the full remaining huge string to find the \0 eos byte.

the sum of all scanned bytes is quadratic to the length of the huge input string.
