Your friend is opinionated. I work on a large TS project which has classes at its core. While it does make sense to use Classes at some locations, it's not always an obvious choice. Writing and understanding Unit tests is painful in some places with classes. I keep business logic in classes and move the utility functions somewhere else(where I ensure functional paradigm). Writing Units Tests for such code is a breeze.
I agree.

What's worse is how the article tries to look at financial success, happiness, popularity, reproductive success, etc. Those things are rather subjective, and depends on philosophy and politics.

It only looks at shades of good or bad. There is no nuance. Comparing people and putting them in categories is pointless.
Better food, more exercise, more relaxation... but I also wonder if it would have made any difference.

Yes. I'm only half OP's age but working out and eating well (well for me means much more) has made all the little aches I started to have in my 20s go away and made me much calmer, I can also sleep pretty much anywhere and at any time.

More interestingly though,

Me, and the animal I live inside.

there is no animal you live inside, this is not a meat vehicle for something else, your body is you, it's not some machine you merely inhabit. Its/your gut will affect your mood, its limitations are your limitations, being physically strong will make you feel strong and keep anxieties at bay.
I sympathize with not knowing about Transformers in an ML sense, but there's plenty of context in the readme. Especially considering the direct links to relevant papers.

CPI 10x'ed since 1950
I got screwed by Capital One when they refused to wire my funds to a different institution when I needed them to for a big stock option exercise. The rep on the phone told me their policy was to only do wire transfers for home closings. They wouldn't budge, which seemed shocking and completely unacceptable to me, so I initiated closing of the account that same day.
Really? In my 30s I felt on top of the world. Enough wisdom to put my knowledge to good use and a fit body that only had the occasional ache. Everything went downhill around 42 though. Eyesight, hearing, processing speed, memory, sleep apnea, weight gain, hair loss, ED... I have to be on some combination of marijuana to sleep and modafinil to wake up. Exercise helps but the gains fade fast so it's basically a 10% tax on my waking hours to keep things from fading faster. Oh and when you're 40 something no one gives a shit. You're not old enough to pity, but you're old enough to be responsible for everything. You just have to keep slugging it out with reality until your mid 60s.

yea I've thought the same thing about coding being the ultimate puzzle. i think you pull your hair out way more than you would if you were solving a regular puzzle but there great part is having something that's actually useful at the end of it all, and not just having the satisfaction of solving it.

I don't think anyone has really answered your question about why you encountered both in this article. "A herbacious," was only present inside a quote in the article. The author of the article seems to prefer using, "an," in their own writing. I don't know of any situational difference in pronunciation in play here, just regional or formal preferences as mentioned by other commenters.

I didn't say that you did, in fact I explicitly said the opposite. I don't even know where that quote came from. I just pointed out that YOUR choice of quote contradicted your argument.

> If you believe Apple's marketing

I don't believe their marketing. I believe the profit motive, and I believe their actions they've taken in the face of Government and corporate demands for data access.

> Caring about user privacy shouldn't have exceptions, no?

You are falling into a weird self-defined trap of binary thinking. It seems you're asserting that in order to have concern for customer privacy requires privacy to veto literally all other concerns. I never said—no sane person has ever said—that Apple's concern for consumer privacy is their number one motivating directive. Everything is a matter of degrees; a matter of competing priorities.

Personally I don't pick Apple products to protect my data from my Government. I pick them because I want that pile of data to be siloed away from the likes of Google, Facebook, and the countless number of unethical data aggregators that I've never heard of. Apple's selfish commercial motivation to keep my data away from their competitors suits me just fine.

Put simply, Apple's functional concern for my privacy—regardless of the purity of their motives—works for me.

That wrong. They tried this on the Falcon 9, not the Falcon 9.

Re-usability was their goal early on and and it was just a question of how to get there. Its not an accident. You could of course claim the exact architecture they have is an accident. But then again had they developed this larger engine they might have moved to a larger vehicle with 5 of those before going to a fully reusable Starship style vehicle.

The important point is consistently worked towards a known goal.

A much less well known fact about the FFT (or the DFT) is that it is also exhibits a brickwall (rectangular) response. This can manifest itself when using zero padding in the frequency domain for upsampling, but is also the reason for artifacts when FFTing a nonperiodic window.

It's used in OFDM, where the subchannels are generated by an FFT and have a sinc shape (the Impulse response of the FFT) in the frequency domain.

As a arm-chair historian, I feel there has always been an ebb and flow of balanced-working versus over-working. For example, reading stories of Carnegie's steel plants with 12-hours work days, 7 days a week in 1894:

>> The demanding conditions sapped the life from workers. "You don't notice any old men here," said a Homestead laborer in 1894. "The long hours, the strain, and the sudden changes of temperature use a man up." Sociologist John A. Fitch called it "old age at forty."

Probably a bad autocorrect, but I never knew Linus liked "scsi novels". Makes me think of scsi drives rising up against their oppressors. :-)

> [Linus] I think I spent a year reading the free or 99¢ kindle scsi and fantasy novels by random unknown authors with editing problems.
> Correction, thy don't bother fixing some of the bugs you are talking about. A lot of the other bugs that you are talking about (bugs due to the C language) are fixed. Your proposal was to not add any fixes due to bugs in the C language.

They don't bother fixing large categories of C bugs, to the extent that Linux can't really be said to be a C program - rather it's a program written in an ad-hoc GCC-specific dialect. Not fixing bugs due to the C language (or rather, things that would be bugs if it was interpreted as a C program) is very much part of that.

> What does that have to do with your proposal?

I thought you were holding up Oracle as some paragon of technical excellence to be emulated, which it isn't.

> In fact, if as you say that Oracle is alive because of non-technical reasons, then your proposal that a rewrite is better than a bugfix is even more unreasonable - they can use their lock-in to spend a decade rewriting their core products.

I don't know what you're suggesting or advocating here. I'm not a businessperson and don't have any idea what's the most effective way for Oracle to make money. I do know from personal experience that if you want to make a good product, switching from Oracle to something written in a safer language can help.

> I'm currently working in another field (C and C++ this time), and making small incremental changes is considered by the regulatory bodies as less risky than throwing everything away and restarting.

Regulations are, sadly, often a long way behind what's actually effective.

> The meme "scrap C, rewrite it in $FOO" only applies to software that has very little impact on the world.

On the contrary, the kind of software that actually changes the world tends to be written in non-C. Where C tends to be used is in the kind of software that's a marginal replacement for non-software.
Making the Jump to Independent Scientist
Am I ready yet? I currently work at FANG and am still in early-mid 20s. In college I took some grad lvl matrix theory courses and did very well in them. I really want to push this field but don't like to divert my attention, so I've focused on side income for the past year or so after graduation.

Let's say I have app/website income coming in at $5k per month, just enough to cover living expenses in bay area. This income takes 5-10 hours a month to maintain / grow.

I really would like to quit my job and spend the next couple years independently researching Matrix Theory. I believe it would be better for the world for me to push this field, rather than optimize ads.

I am wondering if anyone can think of any gotchas for when I make this jump. I know John Carmack made a similar jump in his old age to study AI, but I really don't want to give my early-mid 20s to a corporation.
Considering RonDB provides READ_COMMITTED isolation guarantees, there are not as many anomalies to worry about as stronger isolation models, such as snapshot isolation or serialization.

The design philosophy of RonDB is that we push stronger isolation requirements up to higher levels of the stack using row level locks - shared/write locks. For example, HopsFS builds on RonDB and it provides POSIX-like file system guarantees (built on the weaker read committed guarantees provided by RonDB) by implementing locking algorithms:

Banking is expensive- not only on operational topics, but also on Risk Coverage. Too much capital required, little returns on capital tied down. So it’s becoming increasingly difficult for smaller CUs to grow - they are doom to stagnate or merge.

I suppose the central section with tanks cannot be replaced piecemeal, and cannot be excessively patched because it's a structural part. You can consider it an airframe.

So it must be mostly the same boosters all the way, even if engines, valves, electronics, etc have been replaced multiple times.
as mentioned, worth pointing out that most practical digital filters don't have that many taps so unless you have other reasons to go to the frequency domain, time domain filtering can be faster...

RonDB (and NDB) favors consistency over availability. But you can configure it to make it HA over availability zones in the cloud, with 1 replica per availability zone. NDB also has asynchronous geographical replication, so inter-region replication will come later.
If you can keep your turnover below 65keur* you can open a "regime forfettario" type of fiscal position. This will grant you 5 years at 5% taxes (15% afterwards) on profit with minimal paperwork.

This is standard procedure for many medical school exams during COVID. Examsoft locks down your primary device, and you have a secondary device (smartphone/other laptop) pointed at you throughout the exam with a live video stream to the proctor. Each student does a 360 of their workspace prior to beginning the exam, and they are recorded throughout.

From the article: "To hinder online cheating, Geisel requires students to turn on ExamSoft — a separate tool that prevents them from looking up study materials during tests — on the laptop or tablet on which they take exams. The school also requires students to keep a backup device nearby. The faculty member’s report made administrators concerned that some students may have used their backup device to look at course material on Canvas while taking tests on their primary device."

I'm not sure what's going on here. The med school I'm affiliated with has students running the live video stream to the proctor through the secondary device. I guess Dartmouth wasn't doing that, but was having students keep it nearby only as a communication device in case WiFi went down or something?

Either way, the fact that they've taken students in one of the most competitive and stressful post-graduate programs in the country, told them to sit at home for a year-and-a-half and teach themselves medicine, and subjected them to a scored STEP 1 the year before it goes pass/fail is beyond fucked.

Ask HN: Finding Open source projects that are open to pay contributors
The number of commercial open source projects increase every day, yet the model is still hiring completely in-house and if any outsider wants to contribute without pay, they're welcome too.

I've heard there is a crypto project that is willing to pay after a while so I just wanted to learn about the existence of similar initiatives.

This kind of arrangement is beneficial to both owners and participants:

For owner, they get access to a larger pool and for participants they can contribute entirely on their own terms with micro-contracts (e.g. 1 open issue = 1 micro-contract)

A doubling in subscribers might need a trippling in customer service agents (especially if the new customers are not as good at tech and need more help, which goes along with being a late adopter or if the service quality drops because of the presumed doubled usage, and there's more service requests as a result).

If the doubled subscribers requires doubling the number of Netflix OpenConnect CDN boxes, that would mean current capex, and while the additional revenue might eventually pay for it, there might need to be borrowing costs to get the equipment sooner rather than later. Also, right now is a tricky time to get lots more hardware, so a 2021 node might cost more than a 2020 node, even if they have the same capacity.

All that said, without looking at their investor reports, I suspect they have some margin and cash on hand to make things work and mostly profit. They probably also have a target for spare CDN node capacity, because there's some pretty high variability of peak load on new releases and ISP install lead time can be super long. Also, they do a lot of efficiency work to make sure they can push as much traffic as possible from their nodes.

> Would FedAccounts be essentially FedWire extended for regular people?

My general impression with this movement, is not that it is a way of easing transfers, but rather a nationalisation of bank accounts. The subject crops up frequently in Denmark, where citizens are required to have a bank account, that the government knows about. But only private banks offer bank accounts.[0] So it raises the question; why does the national bank not offer bank accounts?

Then public interest, rather than private, could set rates for fees, costs and interests on these bank accounts. It also follows that in this scenario, it might be worth considering whether private banks should even be able to create money the way they are permitted to now, and only let the national bank 'print' money (both physical and digital).

[0] It should be noted that the law requires private banks to offer these account at no cost to citizens (though just one per citizen).
Adding the ability to just read header files and all the definitions in them without having to translate.

I saw this addition in zig and thought that it was amazing, a lot of languages have this need to create definitions in their own language, C# with [DllImport](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.runtime.i...), [crystal with lib](https://crystal-lang.org/reference/syntax_and_semantics/c_bi...), I think since C is so ubiquitous and being able to just consume header files just removes so much boilerplate creation that is easy to get wrong.

zig also decided to just call an existing compiler (clang) and if you do zig cc --version then zig thinks it is clang, because the zig compiler just calls into clang main. D has gone with the route of calling gcc.
Persistent spectral–based machine learning (PerSpect ML): chemo, bioinformatics
It's not Wikipedia's job to be pro or against anything. The topic of circumcision is a topic of debate in the US, which Wikipedia records, and arguments from both proponents and opponents have a place in it.

Does this mean that Wikipedia is, in a way, kind of a "bad" resource? Absolutely. My personal opinion is that circumcision is indefensible, and we can quickly agree on this. But this kind of resource has value too; what if I want to educate myself on the argument that pro-circumcision people use? There's Wikipedia for that!

I was raised very secular; up to my early 20s I didn't really have an opinion on religion in general because I was simply never really exposed to it; I knew it existed of course, but outside of that: idunnoknow.

After I had some Jehovah's Witnesses at my door I decided to educate myself a bit more about this and looked up, among other things, arguments in favour of God's existence on Wikipedia. I thought they were ridiculous and didn't even hold up to the most basic of critical thinking; I couldn't believe this nonsense was really the best they could come up with. I've been atheist ever since.

However, this doesn't mean that these arguments – ridiculous as I might think they are – don't have a place on Wikipedia, and shouldn't be described there.
