For another point of reference, I do. Reading comments, I also see people refer to and recognize community members such as 'tptacek, 'rayiner, 'dragonwriter, 'DoreenMichele, and many others. For what it's worth, I also recognize your username. Given the number of people on HN, I'm sure there are others that really don't pay much attention, but I know for a fact that there are also those that do.

That's good news! Ideology is more malleable than religion.
Completely beside the article - the first specializing, adaptive interpreter (PEP 659) improvements have been merged to CPython these last weeks, and hopefully we can see updates about benchmarks and performance sooner or later.
I had to reply to this because I’ve been feeling this very heavily the last few years. Not sure what to do about it either because it feels like it’s everywhere.

Specifically “Agile”, the lack of autonomy, and the standup confessional.

I can appreciate communicating and keeping everyone on the same page. At some point though, we’re going to have to realize we’re all professionals and we can trust people to do their jobs.
I feel california should massively invest in desalination plant. It wouldn't solve everything, but at least they would have something to drink (not sure if it would be profitable for most plantation and cultures).

I got tired of having to think with date math, specifically determining the difference between "how many days between these dates" and "this is day x of span y", so I just made a tool specifically for that 2nd case.

Eg, in my journal entries I make a note of which day of covid lockdown it is, by bookmarking this on my phone home screen:

What status do you think I'm trying to grab? The only thing that's going to happen here is that I get aggressively downvoted and the problems I'm complaining about will continue unabated, because mentioning them makes for "tedious reading."
They can be. Express elevators and such. But mainly the programs are limited to what floor the elevators idle at because more complicated programs even if more efficient overall often piss people off.

It becomes a charged subject matter when one works at companies like Google and Facebook and gets used to navigating performance reviews.
Do you have anything that supports this? This is not supported by anything I have read thus far and I think we are all aware that Nuclear was actually cheap back in the 60's. USA nuclear costs did increase drastically, especially after three Mile Island and political pressures. Many countries managed to keep costs consistent (Japan, Canada) though. Money doesn't need to bleed into Nuclear, and you should expect to see more investment there in the near future with fusion. The issues in USA with nuclear are over half a century old so I think your comment is disingenuous. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Did the Oxford group actually not do the relevant analysis as the university suggested?

(I conclude from the lack of mention in my current and previous universities' news -- wot, no Tara Shears? -- that at least their LHCb groups weren't significantly involved!)
The clinical diagnosis of psychosis can only be established if the symptoms REMAIN after the drugs have worn off.
I talked privately with others, and am fairly sure suicide was the cause of death. There were attempts in the past that I was unaware of until right before I wrote this article. I don't see what your point really is with this comment, but I expect just as much from hacker news.
Freedom of speech isn’t a “non-ideological” ideal, and there’s not one single definition. For example, most liberals (in the classical sense) support free speech but are not absolutists; a libertarian might see that as repressive, while a progressive might see it as dangerous.

Yes. when I lived in Sweden, I noticed that Swedes in general have less stuff. Smaller housing, fewer cars, less ability to buy stuff, and even go out.
The average engineer salary was almost half (about 60%) of those in NYC and SF, while prices coffee/going out in Stockholm were almost the same as in NYC. Rent prices were lower though.

But, their quality of life seemed higher overall. Less stressful in general, more vacations and time off, more thoughtful planing of their cities, etc.

So, it seems like a tradeoff. If you are a blue collar or unskilled worker, Sweden would have been better, while you'd struggle in the US. But if you are a skilled worker (even blue collar, like plumber or electrician), you'd do better in the US.

I'd rather be a barista in Sweden than in the US, but I'd rather be an engineer in the US than in Sweden.
I was frustrated with how slow the Apple Notes app was, so I made k for myself (https://getk.com). k launches instantly to your keyboard and camera, so you can take notes and photos in no time. I use it instead of Notes and Camera.

It's 100% Swift and collects no data at all. k is my 3rd app and it took me 2 month to build
Isomorphisms.

They let us think about things very easily, and express ideas very cleanly.
When I Think about a system, I treat isomorphic things as almost exactly the same.

But when actually writing code, I need to fully spell out the isomorphism. That is glue code.So the code becomes my clear ideas, with awkward glue in between.

My dream is a compiler that knows these isomorphisms, and automatically implements them with decent (perhaps guided by me) optimization.

This way, the idea in my head and the code in my editor start looking like eachother a whole lot more.
I had one a number of years back when I was writing an iPhone app to be whitelabeled for various clients, that would overlay a "Beta" banner on their icons for beta releases. I wrote it for fun (and so I could easily differentiate between beta and full release versions on my own device), and right as I was finished, it ended becoming a client request anyway.
With all due respect, you don't know that. By pure miracle, the lawmakers escaped the chambers and very shortly after the seditionists flooded in. What would happen IF they got a hold of say, AOC or Pelosi is probably more grim than not. They were not there to have a frank conversation using some harsh language.

In Austin, Texas, you can get a “platte map” which will show the boundaries of the property and a simple outline of where the known structures fit in that map, but that doesn’t help with indoor floor plans.
Do you also see the First Incompleteness Theorem, or Halting Problem, as sleights of hand?

Informally, the answer to your question is no - the Schröder-Bernstein theorem, which lets us order the size of sets, is sufficient to derive the law of the excluded middle. Therefore if you don't like the "trick" i.e. proof by contradiction (even given the contradiction is "actually constructed" in this case), and instead demand constructive mathematics, you will not be able to say much about relative cardinality.

Hey, so, I Think I Fucking Hate the Internet
In an attempt to gamify my own fitness, I wrote a simple workout tracking app that used energy bars which depleted and refilled over time. If I hit a particular muscle group that day, the energy bar for that muscle group would deplete and take a couple of days to recharge. The idea was to keep all the muscle groups on cool-down. It was actually quite fun for a while. Kind of like looking at a simulated representation of your body recovering over time.

Yes, I agree. But not all studies. There is a substantial proportion of studies that are just statistical noise, and a smaller but still substantial part that are outright fraud.

However, individual experiments are not studies in the academic sense. Especially if they are not formally reported so that the experience is not lost in time.
As someone with 20+ experience I can tell you burnout is real. It doesn't make you not cut out for the field. That burnout travels with you.

From the 1880s to 2000 this may have been the case, but I don't think it is anymore. Any country with public health insurance that is decent is more attractive than the US. People are not blind, they see Americans dying of diabetes because they can't afford insulin that they attempted to crowdfund. [1]

The US has evolved into a modern dystopia under the first-past-the-post system and cloture in the senate. I think the election of Donald Trump was the signal to the rest of the world that America's democracy may not even be a democracy. Republicans are currently digging themselves in to remove as much democracy from the American political system as possible. [2] I'm not sure where the country will end up.

Unlogged tables ARE NOT in memory tables. They are written to disk like every other table, but unlogged tables don‘t have use the wal and are therefore much lighter.
Agreed. Until we get to the point where there are theorems of the form, for example, "Given a problem satisfying conditions X, the optimal number of layers to minimize expected training time for data satisfying Y is Z", it is just stamp collecting.

I can’t find the link but apparently there was a case of someone riding an escalator with gloves later used in a murder and several people’s DNA being found on the gloves.

I think the police then track down each of these individuals and establish a motive or an alibi.

But DNA alone shouldn’t convict someone.

I had the same thing happen when I interviewed with AWS, I was so giddy that Amazon would even consider someone like me (non FAANG background ) that I was elated with the offer they gave me.

Luckily I consulted with a few friends and family who knew how this works and they basically said Id be losing money by taking it. In fact my current compensation was better.

Learning how compensation works and getting comfortable with negotiation is very much needed

I don't know why you were downvoted for this. It's something he explicitly described. You see it in the form of "corporate values." Corporations don't have values, people have values, and the subcontext of corporate values is that leadership at those companies make their own values.[1][2]

When you hear about a corporation espousing "values," they're practicing corporate Nietzscheism. Most of the time, they're not doing it because they knowingly follow Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy, but rather that they parrot the philosophy from other corporate examples... as predicted by Nietzsche.

That's also a teleological approach (looking at the final state of the interaction of rain, terrain and gravity) - I used evolution as an example because its the first thing that came to mind.

Evolution is also a good touchpoint because everybody who considers themselves "rational" accepts it, and yet it is taught, and reasoned about, teleologically - compared to most pop-science topics which are analytical in nature.
This is interesting. Not saying you are incorrect, but, I have worked at Google for a few years and didn't pick up on this, most people seem abundantly polite. But, I can just as easily chalk that up to limited experience, since there is clearly quite a lot of different things going on in any large company.
What am I doing wrong?

for(elevator of elevators) {
elevator.on('idle', () => {

It only seems to run for the second elevator rather than both of them?
Some existential reflections having been bullied at various jobs.

* You're there to do a job firstly, which is easy to forget in a social workplace. Focus as much of your energy on this as possible.

* Don't try to make friends at work. In fact, avoid making friends at work altogether outside of the expected degree of social participation.

* Don't brag about work/salary, especially if you're a high performer. Otherwise, you'll be a target.

* Lay low, do your work, and document all incidents with evidence. Raise the issue in private to your superior, then HR -- in writing. If it's serious enough, you may wish to speak to an attorney. (I'd reserve contacting an attorney for egregious, ongoing bullying/harassment if unaddressed by your company internally). Do bear in mind HR is in support of the company -- you're a human resource to be managed in the interest of the company. Consider this when engaging HR. Be unemotional, factual, and sympathetic to the needs of the job first. Avoid any form of direct confrontation with the bully(s), don't react, don't discuss it with co-workers, and remain unemotional at least externally.

* How you react and handle the bullying is what others will perceive, including management. It's the same as childhood playground bullying. The bully intends to elicit a reaction, then point the finger to support the negative arguments being made behind your back. Keep this in mind, stay quiet, document, prepare, and take calculated responsive action.

Good luck, and I hope you learn from my mistakes. Being an empath is a gift but is a double edged sword.

Really sad, I enjoyed his blog posts and he seemed energetic.

I had no idea he was so young, but it was GSoC so that makes sense.

All the best to his friends and family.
So far as I can tell, the RealityCapture software only runs on Windows. You would have to feed it pictures or data from somewhere else (like your phone), but the software itself doesn’t run on the phone.

It also seems to focus on creating 3D models of things and not spaces.
This has interesting parallels with how some languages include the library version in the "symbolic name" (mangled name, fully qualified name etc).

This often allows loading of multiple versions of the same dependency in the same program without ugly hacks. Which is grate if you have multiple dependencies which both have the same sub-dependency (each internal only to their dependent) but need different versions.

It's kinda a nightmare if you run into this problem in languages which don't support it.
Made me remember an interesting anecdote: During my PhD at Purdue I had the good luck to take the Pattern Recognition (nowadays would be called ML) course from Prof. Fukunaga, one of the pioneers in the field (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keinosuke_Fukunaga). In one of his classes he mentioned that years ago a company came to him, requesting his expertise in optimizing movement of a bank of elevators. He thought it would be trivial :-) After telling us that all his approaches failed miserably, he had one of his impish laughs and told us that he never worked on that problem again. Miss that guy. Get a copy of his book (https://books.google.com/books/about/Introduction_to_Statist...) if you can, it’s written in the “old style” but very informative.

Interesting fact: Gen Fukunaga (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gen_Fukunaga), founder of anime company Funimation, is his son.
Wow, how did I not know that? Thank you!
The magic of placebo. Chiropractic school dropout, with the bonus of having a ex girlfriend who was a Herbal Doctor. A Naturopath? I forget.

What really sealed the deal was this one professor. Attractive lady whom spoke like she was addressing the United Nations. I still remember the time she told me to show the class my Coccyx. I was relieve I had good underware on.

Back to the most rediculious statement from the red lipstick mouth of a PhD. (I comment on her appearance because she was cute. So--please don't take it any other way. I know there are people waiting to pounce.)

She stated,

"We have over 15 upper cervical techniques, and they All work equally well." Studies, and Placebo Effect are conviently never talked about at that school."

That said, I feel most modern medicine is not much better.

Placebo rules in every healing art.

The kid in front of me, at Chiro school, was the spitting image of health. I was actually jealous. He was getting weekly adjustments. He was getting something called a Rotary Adjustment.

He was biking with his wife, and father in-law on a sunny Saturday. He stopped peddling, and fell over. Died of a massive stroke, at 25.

While I'm here. Sharon Stone was a big Chiro fanatic. Out of the blue she developed bilateral aneurisms, or tears?, in her neck. A world renowned vascular surgeon happened to be giving a talk at UCSF. The hospital asked him to perform the delicate surgery. It was obviously successful.
It’d be nice if there existed any forum that collected these anecdotes. Glassdoor is heavily censored, teamblind requires tying your identity to the account, etc. Lots of toxic workplaces exist and remain unknown outside of rare Twitter threads.
The OP was writing about a 29 year old design decision, and he wasn’t writing about a person. Design decisions don’t have feelings. I found his no holds barred clarity about something as obscure as dynamic linking namespaces made for an easier if still not easy read.

But that said, I don’t think dynamic linking is in the ELF spec. I believe that’s a de facto OS + dev tools thing rather than an ELF spec de jure thing. His points are still valid.
I'm so happy and relieved that I don't have to practice in the US anymore.
> If you are a blue collar or unskilled worker, Sweden would have been better,

The problem here is that for the Swedes to enjoy their social benefits, they cannot afford to have too many low skilled workers. The swedish economy is a high skilled economy, perhaps the highest skilled in the world. There are very few low-skill jobs, unlike the US which has an army of low skilled workers filling low skilled jobs. This is why the U.S. is able to absorb so many low skilled migrants whereas Sweden is having enormous problems finding jobs for their low skilled migrants. So while sure, you are better off being a low skilled worker in Sweden just as you are better off being a high skilled worker in the U.S., but that's because these two economies are structured very differently.

Generally used for caching expensive lookups, including job queues, and other nifty patterns. Before that memcached was most popular, but it didn’t save to disk, where redis eventually does. Before that, it was roll your own or ram disk.
I got my master's years ago so now I'm a strict amateur. That said, I don't think the "No free lunch theorem" is very "interesting". It's nearly tautological that no approximation method works for "any" function. The set of predictable/interesting/useful/"real-world" functions is going to have measure 0 compared to white noise so "any function" will basically look like white noise and can't be predicted. Approximating functions/sequences with vanishingly low Kolmogorov complexity is more interesting, impossible in general by Godel's theorem but what's the case "on average"? (depends on the choice process and so ill-defined but defining might be interesting). The kernel regime stuff looks interesting but I don't know it's relation to wide networks.

Neural networks "tend to generalize well in the real world". That's a pretty fuzzy statement imo since "real world" is hardly defined but it's still what people experience and it's more useful to provide a more precise model where this works rather than a model where this doesn't work.

Also, there's good theory on deep networks as universal well as theories of wide/shallow networks [1].
