These sound like some poor excuses to me.

The idea that you can have either best practices or performance is a false dichotomy. Testing can be used to help track down performance issues. It can help you write code faster and prevent breakages. It should not slow you down.

Best practices inside a codebase should not sacrifice performance. If you have to do that to conform to some structural ideal, you don’t do it. I would love to see this supposedly untestable code.

Stackoverflow may contain lots of great dev knowledge, but it’s also a weird site that discourages participation and entrenches old answers. I am unsurprised that the devs themselves are a proverbial old dog that can’t learn new tricks.

> No european politican in power is that altruistic.

It's not about personal altruism, it's about creating the right institutions that encourages politicians to do the right thing, and to hold them accountable when they don't. In the US, these systems don't work very well. I remember when Congress had an approval rating in the single digits, yet 90% of all incumbents got re-elected. That's a pretty clear sign that the very basis of your democracy doesn't work right.

> Political systems are always eventually captured by the powerful and they prevent any real change because they benefit from the status quo

And yet political systems change. Absolute rulers decide to share their power, write liberal constitutions and hold fair elections, politicians in district systems decide to change to proportional representation, men vote to allow women to vote.

Of course these changes often require protests by the people who used to be excluded, but those protests happened, and the people in power listened and changed the rules.

It's mostly the US where a large number of people insist that the rules of two and a half century ago are sacred and should never be changed. Few other countries hold to that sort of idiocy. (Though the UK might be as bad or worse than the US in that regard.)

> We also have very little VC money going around.

That is absolutely true. The US is great for money. It's great for rich people and for investors. And many European startups end up moving to the US.

But that doesn't change the fact that regular people aren't benefitting all that much from it. Warehouse workers for Amazon often work in atrocious circumstances that would not be allowed in the EU. How does their country's high GDP or Amazon's high market value benefit them if their job is destroying them?
haven't thought or heard the argument of the other side

I think this is a (the?) fundamental issue here; you're beginning from a place of needing to be told its OK to be naked near a child. That there needs to be a strong reason, a defensible argument just to have no clothes on near a child. There's an assumption in this thinking that by default, it's simply bad to be naked near a child - an assumption that's entirely cultural and learned. Cultures that don't have this hang-up don't have a strong argument for it - they just think it's crazy that your culture is so weird ("WEIRD", one might say) about it for no good reason.
That sounds backwards. Isn't the experiment supposed to measure the brain state of a resting mind, and then measure the brain state of an engaged mind, and compare the results?

Otherwise it's a truism.
At this point I just don't discuss my personal life with anyone I work with or if I do it's to respond with an, "I'm doing great, thanks, and how are you?" No after-work drinks or else I'll have one for the sake of appearing affable.

I'm a nice person but that any comment is potentially a landmine to me professionally, I'd just rather not expose myself like that. I can't count on anyone assuming good intent with me because everyone is so fired up on their crusader trains.

I'll give a personal example: when I was a Buddhist renunciate--this was right at the beginning of cancel culture--someone I thought to be a close friend posted a negative experience she had with a man. It didn't stop there: she proceeded to blast all men for not immediately talking to every man they knew about their inherent violence. I commented that from the perspective of peace, her exhortation would result in more anger, more rage in the world, not less.

My last name on Facebook at that time was my own creation, for the sake of my privacy. Immediately after my call for calm, I was doxxed and Facebook locked me out of my account until I could prove my last name.

In hindsight, she did me a great favor as I never returned to Facebook, which I now see as poison to the human mind.
Killblanks use pre-rendering and skeleton screen to solve page blanks
White screens have always been a major problem that has plagued the front-end when the CSR project was born. How to increase the waiting time of users, reduce the bounce rate, and improve the page performance at low cost is the front-end has been solving problems, killblanks is one This kind of solution directly generates a skeleton screen from the page node, and pre-renders the user to display the outline of the content while waiting for the content to load, providing a better user experience and making the content feel faster.
> Further and more seriously, this paper is perhaps an important example of the importance of interdisciplinary communication.
I wouldn’t go that far- medical researchers all did high school math.
If they didn’t understand it, that’s not an interdisciplinary communication problem.

Although it’s true that if Dr. Tai had shown his paper to any physicist (or high school calculus student), with “Tai’s Model” as a label for integration, they would laugh and point out the issue.

You can switch as long as you have a strong aptitude for logic, math, and probably language. There are some comments here about ageism and how hard it can be, but honestly, in my experience, good engineers just care about working with other good engineers. Your age, sex, and race are irrelevant to most techies I know when it comes to work. If you can program well, they'll appreciate you and working with the code you produce. I know people who have gone through a few months of code bootcamp and are able to get well paying jobs quickly after that. A lot of phd's have been switching to programming careers these days cause it pays way better and has a lot more job demand than w/e their scientific fields of study were and many of them are in the 30-40 range. There is major talent shortage in software engineering so if you get just ok at it recruiters will be knocking at your door with jobs and if you get good you'll have your pick of jobs.
Unfortunately for naysayers, Ethereum or other blockchains will achieve cheap and long running dapps sooner or later.
I wonder how many of those are from papers discussing failure of peer review or interdisciplinary communication rather than the value of the formula itself.

In this case the complaint was about someone who had said " that their skin was much darker than she expected".

Now this is an insanely stupid, and odd thing to say, but I think it's fair to say it comes from a place of ignorance, and not malice. At least one might assume that if the incident only happens once.
I'm not sure any of those companies entering this space would help.
Well, I was replying to AMM optionality, not completeness. Nim has ORC to break cycles - ref ct + cycle checker. I believe Python grew the same thing eventually from similar refcount beginnings. So, completeness worries need not push you away from Nim. As mentioned, there are many options.

These techniques still seem to be called "adjusted/qualified ref counting" rather than "garbage collection". So, I believe terminological problems have muddied the waters yet again. Or else my own incomplete description did { to the extent that differs at all. :-) }
Wow interesting, the initial "strong hint" that I got from the title was that most people are too polite to draw a conversation to a close.

I guess we truly do bring our biases into intepretation of ambiguities!
Well then I guess you're not part of the scene; as applied to you, the secret code still works.

No, it's not important to document all "microagressions". It sounds like it would be a nightmare to work with any person who thought or acted like that.

The concept of microagressions is backwards and pernicious. People are imperfect communicators. Getting offended at cryptic, imagined, or unintended slights is something that children and crazy people do. Adults, especially in the workplace, should be able to understand people have different ways of expressing themselves and that's not bad and you don't need to get HR involved.

One example comes to mind - I had a coworker who frequently wrote "..." After messages on our instant messenger. Once I asked him a question and he just replied "..." And then 20 minutes later told me the answer. I read this as kind of a sarcastic thing, like an exasperated sigh that he'd have to explain something so obvious. I thought this guy was a real jerk.

One day after he sent me a "..." I asked him what it meant. I said "What does '...' signify?" And the guy answered that it meant "More to follow" and I realized that he wasn't being a jerk, he was just trying to signal to me that he couldn't complete the answer at the moment, but would send more to follow.

The point of my little story is that it just doesn't make sense to assume hostile motives. Lots of times people just communicate differently. Trying to document all the times you can interpret someone as being negative is just a bad idea in addition to being unfair and unproductive. It's also way more likely to make people genuinely aggressive and hostile towards you.
That's the reality. I can't speak for other youtubers, but I have an audio DSP plugin called BitShiftGain. It does exact offsets of 6dB, because doing that alters the exponent and only the exponent of the floating point word without touching the mantissa, making it lossless if you had headroom for the adjustment (for instance, if you can go up without clipping, you can go up and down losslessly)

On YouTube I have to call it 'wordlength shift gain' because YouTube thinks I'm saying 'bitch'. And I don't know, maybe that would increase my YouTube discovery at some times when they're leaning more in the direction of provocation-for-engagement, but that's not the kind of channel I do, so I self-edit.

I don't find it sad so much as it's simply a step into the future: awareness means understanding what the algorithms will make of you. Fail to grasp that and you get caught in the gears. I also openly talk about how I allow YouTube to run ads even though I'm a uBlock Origin guy myself and encourage people to adblock likewise: I assume that if I balk YouTube on this, or fail to pretend that I'm after what meager revenue YouTube promises, that I'll be eventually punished for it. So, I keep up appearances, 'cos it's a key platform for me.

I'm currently watching the Linus Media Group playlist on how they make money and why they make clickbaity thumbnails, with interest. I could probably put some words into my thumbnails and construct them better. I earnestly believe Google is good enough to automate discovery of whether people are doing these things, and reward/punish them algorithmically based on whether they're in compliance, so I am probably blocking myself from discoverability by failing to include text on thumbnails even without a single Googler making a human decision on the matter. I don't know whether I need to make faces too: it's an experiment I could try if I felt like it. Gurning for dollars :)
If you’ve ever been to Iceland and visited one of their excellent spas or swimming pools you’ll come across the staff who’s job it is to watch you shower to ensure you’ve washed yourself properly.

All of yourself. Properly.

Having someone stare at you as you soap your junk is not a common experience across most of Europe based on the warnings in travel guides.

If you want entry to the spa it’s something you just have to go through.
The rail network was mostly built by private enterprise prior to 1898 when it was nationalised and has been run in a pretty conservative way since.

>While European rail operators such as French SNCF and Spanish Renfe have emphasised the building of high-speed rail, SBB has invested in the reliability and quality of service of its conventional rail network.

As a Brit I'd probably prefer that to £100bn on HS2 and god knows what on the proposed Boris Burrow.
> all the exciting inferences you can make when you assume causation, I'm worried that the end result is a lot of bad science.

But this, is the definition of science: you make models on top of hypothesis that you assume, you see how existing data fits your model, and then you make falsifiable predictions based on your model.

Studying data without any (causal) model of what's happening is just collecting statistically significant trivia. It is research, for sure, but that's not enough to make it science. But hey, at least you published something.

Prejudice is inertia. It muffles your decisions. It can be stabilizing and it can drive you off a cliff even though you're flooring the breaks. A truly stable system is flexible and always has inertia under control.

> I don't think that's true. Mark Rutte was prime minister during the escalation of the excessive fraud hunting, and has been directly involved with parts of it. He undeniably carries much of the real responsibility.

What has the direct involvement been then beyond simply being the ultimate executive at the top of the chain of command?

> He's also not a great example of a politician taking that responsibility; he has a tendency to smile problems away.

Offering the resignation of one's cabinet is quite far from a mere smile.

> That said, you're absolutely right that neither the Dutch not any other European country is anywhere near as corrupt as the US, where corruption seems to be baked deep into its political system.

Any other? I daresay that there is greater corruption in many European nations.

> Despite all this, I still don’t feel comfortable with Rust. It feels fractally complex — seemingly every time I use Rust on a new project, I run into some issue that forces me to confront a new corner of the language/ecosystem. Developing my keyboard firmware was no exception: I ran into two problems, and each required learning a completely new language feature.

There must be a balance between features, security & robustness, speed and easy of use. It all lays down to language design, and I guess we need a new language design paradigm, not a programming paradigm, but a new design paradigm on programming languages

The author of this blog post is wrong to say this is 'integration'[0], and is also later wrong to say it's the 'trapezoidal rule'[1].

It seems to me that it's diagnostically useful to have a standardised method for estimating the area under the curve, rather than everyone inventing their own method.

[0](since you don't know the whole function, you only know point estimates at particular moments in time)

[1] (trapezoidal rule is normally defined by having equal intervals - here, measurements are often taken at irregular intervals)
Depends of your early experience in life. Whatever you have been doing before determines if it is a good idea or not.

I always recommend that you have a competitive advantage in what you do.

So if you start anew competing against 20 years old with way more energy that you have, it will be a bad idea.

But if you have mastered something in the past, and programming gives you an edge because you reuse what you have learned, it will be a good idea.

Programming can be miserable, lonely,alienating(you work with machines not people), painful and slow to get results, specially when you are not an expert. Experts can do miracles as they could automate their own code. Also experts are used to working remotely, and master the psychology of getting things done after years(or decades) of mistakes individually and as teams.

I would study what can you give that very few people can because of your specific personality, interests and experience.
I don't think there's any need to. People who want to use SciHub can simply copy the DOI link into it.

It also derails exactly when people post in bad faith. This rule is self-defeating as long as nothing covers this gap.
I'd like to point out that the article does mention that their system is not single process. They have a database, caching layer and web servers at the very least which could be run on a single box. The number of API calls is a matter of degree when compared with a microservices architecture.

A microservices approach does not mean that they should run on different hosts and an early design decision should be that the entire architecture can run on a single host and that the scale out is a feature of the system.

It's worrying that this assumption is often made because it does lead to the maintenance and velocity issues that teams encounter when naively adopting microservices.

Its always doable. But you have to realize that theres a long road ahead. Its longer than just taking some classes or MOOCs. A lot of programming skill is real life experience in many different types of situations. That simply comes with time. So you need to be patient and build your way to that.

I looked at the most cited paper between those who cite the paper in object: https://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/25/2/275.short

It states: "Mean BGwas determined using area-under-the curve analysis (10)." where (10) is the paper we are discussing about.

Hence in this paper they acknowledge the result...

There are a lot of them that say “using the trapezoidal rule” or something and cite the paper. I think that’s a silly case of unnecessary citations (having been a coauthor on a medical paper there’s a lot of pressure to ‘grab a citation that sort of works’).

But they almost always call it “the trapezoidal rule” - the original paper is quite famous specifically because of the embarrassment it brought to medical researchers, and implication that medicine is full of doofuses who don’t know calculus is pure clickbait.

They should file a racial discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Then Google would be legally forced to conduct a serious investigation.

Also, Google would be unable to retaliate against the employee in any way, such as denying a promotion, etc.

> Cruz claims they were subsequently rejected from every role they applied for, and felt forced to quit.

If true, that would constitute "constructive dismissal".

Unfortunately, companies are protected against a fair amount of legal repercussions due to arbitration agreements (which, in California, you can no longer force people to sign in employment contracts).

Arbitration agreements do not protect employers against EEOC complaints. So, EEOC is perhaps the best way for this person to proceed.

I agree that the US' lack of federally issued modern and safe credentials that then tie into the private sector is laughably painful. (But it's not like the rest of the world is that much better.)

The actual US voting systems are pretty okay (mail ballots, extremely low voter fraud, results are counted in a few days), the way that turns into representation is the problem. The usual news about voter ID laws are pure fascist voter suppression.
Is this something that could be applied in general mathematics? If so, is it truly novel and worthy or a trivial derivation? I’m asking because I don’t know, not rhetorically.

I agree that someone shouldn’t be publicly made fun of in-general for sharing something novel and non-trivial that others didn’t already know, and if it highlights a problem in inadequate reviews, maybe it should’ve been presented to the journals that published it with that info.
