Trying to cargo cult your way into being just like someone else is destined to fail.

However, there's nothing wrong with genuinely following in the footsteps of someone who has achieved what you want to achieve.

A good example is fitness: If you see a fit person, you can't simply capture the benefits of being fit by drinking the same brand of protein shakes they drink. You have to also do the work, going to the gym regularly and making fitness a priority in your life. Seeing that person as an inspiration can be a healthy way to pave the way to better habits, but it's still up to you to do the work and earn it.

I would suggest leveraging MIT's OpenCourseWare [1]. You can filter for courses that have lecture videos, notes, etc. These courses are usually very well organized and taught by some of the best professors in the world.

It wasn't meant to be personal. I guess the tone I was looking for was lost so I apologize if that's how it got conveyed.

Like I said earlier, I was into that scene in the early 90's and it was very much a cool kids club, we were doing amazing work (I was really proud of my BBS and all of the ANSI art I slaved over). This was always an underground elite scene that really only mattered to us.

Anyway, I was just trying to say that everyone that contributed to the scene should be proud and not diminish the great art that was created. My "punk" (as in punk rock fan) comment was that you should not diminish or under value the artistic contribution of the scene now that's it's being recognized by a more mainstream crowd.
I'm not a db expert, but this seems like something that should be solvable.

It is very highly database specific. MySQL tends to be terrible. PostgreSQL tends to be quite good. The reasons why it did not figure it out in particular cases tend to be complicated.

Except for MySQL, in which case the problem is simple. There is a tradeoff between time spent optimizing a query and time spent running it. Other databases assume that you prepare a query and then use it many times so can spend time on optimizations. MySQL has an application base of people who prepare and use queries just once. Which means that they use simple heuristics and can't afford the overhead of a complex search for a better plan.

That's really interesting, and heartening. When I've looked at places in Europe that could make sense to start a small business Italy is often described as having a high bureaucratic burden and generally being a challenging environment. Is that true? What do you think has caused small business to succeed?

It presumably helps somewhat if you want to find sponsors, or locations to hold parties, if you can point at an official list on which you are and say "look! this is a real thing! important people think this is worth doing!"

Other than that, well, there really isn't a downside, so yeah, why not.
> People are people, not machines, and if you tell them all the discovery and excitement of UI design has already been had by past designers, and that all future work should be purely derivitive, you won't have that many people staying in UI design.

What's the problem? We want those people to get out of UI design because they're making things worse by trying to be in it.

Keep your matching logic simple.

With SQL, matching is (by far) the most computationally expensive bit of most queries. Your goal should be to use only sargable[1] operators, and eliminate any functions, in all your WHERE clauses and JOINs.

Complicated matching criteria will force the engine to make tough trade-off decisions, which can be affected by out-of-date table statistics, lousy indexes, and a million other things, and will often force the engine to rule-out more optimized algorithms and fall back to the cruder, primitive algorithms.

[1] For most queries, "OR" is not usually a sargable operator: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sargable

One of the features we recently launched and have a good user base using is an estimator widget we host, specific to the contractor, that allows for estimation fo boiler installations. We're also working on an electrical installation one at the moment. These allow the homeowner to get a quick estimate without bothering the contractor, then select an option if they decide that's what they want, at which point the contractor is sent an email to arrange with the customer. We work with the contractors on these to ensure they're as accurate as possible, and priced as the contractor wants.

In terms of the dishonesty, we believe that's a completely untrue and unfounded accusation. We have a very trust worthy base of users, who whenever an issue has been raised have been the first to jump at rectifying the situation. In our contractors eyes, customers can be the untrustworthy ones, not paying on completion, saying things aren't up to code when they are, accusing the contractor of property damage they didn't cause. We try not to discriminate.

I'll second this, despite the first version being written over 40 years ago it's still one of the best books I've seen on the subjects.

The more recent versions bring it up to date well, it's a dense book but one I find myself coming back to more than any other for the incredible depth of practical engineering knowledge.
I think it's way more about what suits the learner than what suits the subject.

I studied EE, and got on better with the the more theoretical textbooks than I did practicals ('huh, ok.. why?!').
All database systems could implement many more optimizations. Heck, all these tricks to get the queries to complete faster are only needed because the database engine did not find this fast execution plan.

The problem is the more optimizations you implement the more possibilities the query planner has to evalue which may result in (1) a too long query planning phase or (2) the possibility of de-optimizing a good query because an optimization was falsely predicted to be faster
It is a joke and they are making them.
That one is annoying. IN tends to be implemented as a loop. I've spend many queries up by putting an IN into a temporary table, then joining it.

I have actually seen it be a win to combine it like this:

SELECT ...
FROM foo
JOIN (
select 'a' as value
union all
select 'b' as value
...
) bar

Thanks. As you say having LLVM be able to target a CPU built with so few gates is pretty remarkable!
I just noticed your post. You gave some pretty useful feedback, and you're right. The article is not as polished as what The Onion would publish.

That being said, I'm confused as to what article you're reading. My goal wasn't to point out that Trump was bad, but to rag on Elon Musk. We already know that Trump is an idiot, and making fun of Trump gets stale. We already know Trump's atrocities. However, we portray Elon Musk in a positive light when he's just as bad as Trump. The left praise Musk for his science and technological innovations. But Musk and Trump are just two sides of the same coin, and my list on Musk can show you how Trump has done similar actions in the past.

Musk is generally seen in a positive light, so hence the negative tone of the article. If Musk was already seen in a negative tone, then your positive tone is correct.

Your title is definitely funny/subtle. I would probably change it to "MAGA Supporter complains, 'Elon Musk Twitter Feed Just Not As Good, But It Will Have To Do'". Although the entire article would have to be rewritten to match that softer tone.
Your computer is leaking: a defence of dynamic types
They try to restrict you from using consumer cards for HPC computing and have it in their EULA. You can circumvent it a bit, but if you want to buy a hardware compute cluster you _can_ have problems if you want to use consumer grade cards (many hardware vendors that sell clusters kind of ignore this though)

Also nvidia just released (and did something like this before) GPUs specifically for miners. This was seen critical for many reasons for instance the fact that it was done while a "silicon shortage" was/is happening and the inability for users to later use these cards for gaming (note: nvidia fucked up royally and released a driver that can circumvent those restrictions)

Those are just a few examples.

It is useful for static analysis, even the standard people say that they will move into this kind of declaration.

> 15. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) should be self-documenting when possible. In particular, the order of parameters in function declarations should be arranged such that the size of an array appears before the array. The purpose is to allow Variable-Length Array (VLA) notation to be used. This not only makes the code's purpose clearer to human readers, but also makes static analysis easier. Any new APIs added to the Standard should take this into consideration.

I would suggest a dive into neural networks from the bottom up. Getting the electrical interface is the physical part. For a real brain interface though it's probably going to look like NN at the interface from a software point of view.
restaurants use pasta cookers[1], they use brands of pasta that they already know and don't need to taste it (also because it's a system that doesn't scale) they already know the cooking time.

Of course is not a science, sometimes it's not gonna be perfect, but on average it is

consumer models also exist, but are quite expensive.

My girlfriend bought a Cookeo[2] (it's an electric multi-cooker for different kinds of food, including pasta) and after a few failed attempts we have been happy of the results. It's quite cheap.

p.s. tasting pasta while cooking it at home is kind of a ritual here in Italy

Ask HN: What is currently the best “nerd friendly” tablet?
Despite computers outnumbering people at least 5:1 in our house, and using at least five different operating systems, I must confess that I've never actually owned a tablet.

Partly because of the pandemic, I've found myself reading PDFs far more and want a slightly more bed-friendly experience reading, and loosly editing them (and their colour figures). Free software, hackability and repairability are important to me -- and for that reason, I'm disinclined to buy an iPad or a Samsung equivalent.

Might I be so rude as to ask for HN's current recommendations, for a hackable nerd-friendly *nix tablet?

I blame the CSS spec for not giving us responsive text sizes. It’s 2021, the Internet was literally built on text, and we still can’t have text that automatically grows and shrinks based on the size of its parent. We can go to Mars, but we can’t have responsive text. Blows my mind.

The problem is these repeated single key lookups are random io for the database engine. So the database engine has to predict a threshold for when a scan or random io is cheaper which is very hard to get right, and your io layer changes this threshold drastically. A spinning disk may be faster all the time with sequential io, and for flash based systems theres a wide variety of performance profiles.

To tackle this problem postgresql has a setting where you can tune the cost factor for random io.

A Breakup Plan to Save Intel and Preserve National Security
I faced this as a foreigner working as a post-doc at a French company where it turns out French labor laws are a double-edged sword. I was offered a much better job towards the end of my contract and therefore handed my resignation in. I was then summoned to a meeting by HR and told if I wanted to leave before the end of my set-term contract (CDD) I was required to pay a considerable amount of money.

Thankfully my own manager (whom I was leaving) had my back and pointed out that since I was leaving for a permanent role (CDI) which my current employer had not yet offered to me in writing (though informally expected me to carry on), I could get around this.

I honestly don't know what they were expecting. How can you carry on working for a company against your will with the threat of being sued if you tried to leave, what sort of a working environment is that?

Sorry, I think the way I phrased it was ambiguous. I was phrasing them in contrast to literal "postmodern thinkers" in that they're pop culture creators who achieved significant impact in the postmodern cultural millieu. It's true that you could consider them "postmodern thinkers" but I don't know how much I'd agree with that. For me, it's more they fill in the gaps of what I was looking for (perhaps for guidance, perhaps for inspiration, perhaps just for a role model) when I read the postmodern thinkers, searching for tools I could use to reconstruct -- not just deconstruct.

Let me add in another thinker here who in a very literal sense fills in the gaps between the two groups -- Terre Thaemlitz [1], who is both a postmodern thinker and a DJ. I suppose one could also cite early Nick Land [2], given his seminal importance in the establishment of the CCRU at University of Warwick, which straddled the divide of postmodernism and rave culture. Unfortunately, Nick Land does end up moving into less savory territory [3] more recently; I view that era more as a cautionary tale than anything.

Counterintuitive idea: learn to not be "curious about the person situation, while not really caring about the person".

Basically focus on listening and asking details while not really giving deep solutions but rather general advices.

This has 2 advantages:

- by not caring you will focus less on actual solutions and more on listening. You will learn a lot of funny stories if you do that with funny people

- people will still feel you care about them, while if you speak they will think you make it about you.

- your solutions would be useless anyway because What people REALLY want is ranting / blowing steam off / talking out loud to clarify their thinking, basically turning you into a "duck" (the bathing plastic duck you explain your problem which in turns makes it more clear to you and makes you fins the solution). Its actually a good thing for them. The bottom line is that they dont NEED your solutions.

If you do that, most people will say you are a "great person to talk" to. And they actually solve their problems faster that if you gave any solution ^^
Well, assuming of course, the regime which holds its population hostage, fails. Which happened in eastern Germany. Of course, if the countries had stayed separate for 100 years, anything might happen. With Korea, it depends on how long the north keeps the border closed and if and how the regime fails.
I'll start with the trait of vastly oversimplifying things and avoid it.
What that means is to process and release these non-citizens in the northern states. In other words, spread them around.

I think you guys agree, because I (mostly) agree with both of you.

You cook the pasta al dente on purpose, to avoid mushiness with the sauce later. But the finished product isn't al dente--it was a temporary state.

I didn't realize anyone preferred the texture and would preserve it, but that makes sense.
That's like monopolies, right? The ultra right argument is that they are harmless, because it's easy to disrupt them.

In practice that hardly works, due to nasty business practices and lobbying.

On the other hand this argument works better for scientific progress. Yes, company selling like insulin shots might not invest into curing diabetes. That does not mean that there is not plenty of researchers looking into that issue, potentially disrupting the market.

I just hate that this gets framed in a way that is just a step from conspiracy theories.
> imagine if spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel stopped being developed and eventually just disappeared – that’s the level of significance that HyperCard had.

I often hear similar claims about the significance of HyperCard.

But if HyperCard was so significant to so many people, wouldn’t it have been ported and/or rewritten over the years to still be available today? Even if not by Apple, then by someone else?

That’s happened to Excel and other programs. So why not HyperCard? (Serious question)
