Fun idea, but presumably there is a big bias in that some flies will be easier to catch for various reasons. I suppose lots of population studies on birds, cetaceans or whatever have this bias, since you can't just slap a quadrat down and catch everything. In fact with these more advanced animals, perhaps they're harder to observe a second time since they've learned to be wary of humans.

When I lived in Europe there were no screens on the windows.

However, there were also pretty much no bugs; we kept the windows and doors open regularly without an issue - if you tried that were I live now in the US you'd have flies inside making a racket and be eaten alive by mosquitoes.
And that book has been a blotch into peoples well being since forever.

Money, no-one shows for work (well almost no-one) if they don't get paid. Everyone I know doesn't give a fuck about a sense of accomplishment. If the choice is 'work for X and get a sense of accomplishment or get 3X without it'. (If I remember correctly) The book's research while valid, leaves out a lot of counter research and selective selects some data over other.

Unless you are curing cancer, give me more money. Want to motivate me? put a 100k bonus at the end of the year. I don't give a fuck about teamwork or to feel accomplished. Money makes the world go around, and that is why I show up for work.
So, you have an keyboard cable stretched across the walkway, maybe a tripping hazard, unlabeled, that crashes everything when it is unplugged...

It looks a lot like this https://xkcd.com/908/

I have also seen instances of similar things, but usually there is a large sign saying "do not unplug/turn off" and they try to make it as unobtrusive as possible.

The problem here is that it is you were the newbie. It should have been done by a higher up who could then properly chastise whoever was responsible of that mess.
In my experience this is worse than nothing, because the posted pay is so much lower than the companies are actually willing to offer. Positions posted for FAANG that I know are offering $250k+ total comp are posted with statements like “pay starting at $110,000 but varies based on your unique qualifications and experience”.
I wouldn’t say that is the opposite, as it is suggesting both that ivermectin would be needed to be take as a preventative to slow the spread, and implies that vaccination is needed to stop it. My quote is taken from this page: https://covid19criticalcare.com/guide-for-this-website/expan...

Bioleptin
BioLeptin is a dietary supplement unlike any other that is used for fat burning. It is formulated with scientifically proven ingredients to boost your fat burning metabolism. One of its main ingredients, Irvingia Gabonensis has been proven in clinical trials on humans as very effective.
You are right. Even though it is probably a great exercise to improve your skills as data scientists, I'm afraid that without understanding how the insects actually "work/think", it is nothing more than garbage in, garbage out (GIGO).
Indeed, many felt that it could provide a framework that might allow unlimited number of states around the world joining. A union of somewhat independent states.
Red/Green is a good technique for fixing bugs and extending existing functionality.
There would be some sort of process for coming to a decision on choices that have broad impact. The same way there would be a process within a team when different individuals disagree on direction.

The problem with a top down approach is that the architect doesn't actually know what is actually needed by teams. They're too far removed from the day to day. So you get a uniform but generally suboptimal set of technologies.
I think that's very specifically from people complaining about the confetti in the Robinhood app. I'm not sure it's that "gamified" otherwise - Robinhood simply has an easier to use UI than something like eTrade and Schwab which just love tables and have no information hierarchy.

If it's an important meeting, it's expected that you've gone through previous reviews with other people who would've given you that feedback

Yes, just ran across it - and the review it links to http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2018/p136...

To me the valuable insight is "Fibers make asynchronous functions appear to be synchronous. Depending on what color glasses you are wearing, this is either a cool trick or a hidden gotcha. Over time, the consensus of most of the computing community has settled on the side of “hidden gotcha”."

Lots of people talk about "coloured functions", because async functions in e.g. C# do indeed have a different colour that gets transmitted up the call stack. Raymond is hinting there that this is actually good because you can see the colour; working with fibers results in the same thing where you can't see the colours.
How Often Do I Have to Run to Lose Weight?
you could try mapy.cz, also uses OSM. pocket earth is also quite good, but the UI needs getting used to.
I suspect your "reality" consists of very small and very homogeneous projects that leave you a fair chance of doing well with simple refactoring and reorganizations, not to mention starting from scratch frequently. But generating code allows you to make changes that cannot be expressed well in your programming language or using your libraries, for example validating the same data in the same way in two different front ends that don't allow refactoring.
The thing is that all that extra test code also needs to be maintained, also contains bugs, etc.

It all comes down to return on investment. For example, I used to agree with TDD that for every bug, first write a test that fails, and then fix the bug. That way you prevent regression.

So I proposed this to my manager, and he responded: we tracked all bugs in our system for the last 10 years, and when you look at fixed bugs that get broken again, it only occured very rarely. So in the end, doing that was not the best investment of effort.
I’m going to go out on a limb, and guess you’re a straight white male from a middle class or upper middle class background, raised in a home that celebrates Christian high holidays, and have no major disabilities.

I can tell this, because you’ve never considered what representation means to you.

You crow about how being the default isn’t representation, but you have nothing to back that statement up except your hurt feelings, because it doesn’t even hold up to even a cursorily examination of popular culture, or history as it’s commonly taught.
I really relate to this. I gamed excessively through high school and parts of college (think thousands of hours a year), largely as I just couldn't think of anything better to do. More than anything it was just embarassing as it made me into the worlds least interesting man which probably compounded the issue, almost all my free time went into a bunch of games most people don't even know about. I feel a lot better about myself now I can point to side projects or similar when somebody asks what I've been up to.
There is one point in this article that I wholeheartedly agree with—that addictive behavior is invariably a response to some underlying psychological issue. I played games addictively from childhood and it was obviously a coping mechanism for anxiety and depression. However, there were numerous times where the gaming itself exacerbated the problems, as I simply used gaming to forget about urgent demands instead of facing them.

Now in my mid-30s I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, and the medication has had the effect of basically eliminating all desire to play games. I still have a lot of the same obsessive behavioral patterns, but the need for a constant drip of dopamine rewards has dramatically abated so I can focus on more meaningful pursuits.

Or Unreal. I think in this day and age any new game engine should start with "why use this and not Unreal or Unity".
> This sounds like pop science but might actually be real science- would like to know if there's any sort of listing out there determining how much dopamine is elevated by different activities.

Unfortunately that wouldn't prevent it from being pop science. What does it mean that "dopamine is elevated"? Elevated where, how was it measured, and what is the supposed effect of it being elevated?

It is true that amphetamines work by increasing dopamine in specific areas of the brain, but that doesn't mean the rest of this is valid. Also note that pretty much everything else people say about neurotransmitters is bunk, depression is not caused by lack of serotonin and more doesn't make you happier.
Agree with most, but your valuation of coders is humorous. Save a few, they're not that special. Most are more similar to the factory line worker than other job functions.
I've (rightly) never seen Why's Guide marketed as being "for children" though.
> But you cannot expect everyone to have the same proficiency you do. Writing good code, also means writing code that a newbie can at least comprehend.

If you're writing example code or documentation, by all means, add this kind of comment.

Otherwise, if someone can't comprehend these particular two lines without reading the comment, they need to get back to the drawing board. You can't have noisy code like that in production at the off-chance that somebody with zero competence needs to read it. The expected case is that a competent developer needs to find "the thing", which means they need to be able to scan the code quickly without having to read everything twice. That's what you should optimize for.

The DRY principle also applies, this sort of error is not uncommon:

// Add a vertical scroll bar
hScrollBar = new JScrollBar(JScrollBar.HORIZONTAL);

@postpawl. Not at all. I'm saying capital is to be used to hedge inflation by securing the wealth of assets available; land; gold etc. Additionally, I'm saying money/capital is to be used appropriately to avoid the shortfalls witnessed in many other governments. America is build on the promise of wealth and it healthy to secure assets and knowledge of wealth for one's family.
Thank you! Great read, indeed!
This catch and release pattern is quite common in many wildlife surveys.

For example, when estimating tiger populations, instead of painting a white dot, rangers set up camera traps to take photos. Then they can use stripe patterns as a signature for subsequent re-appearances. Quite an interesting intersection for image AI with statistical counting methods.
My 2c: tdd is great in order to learn to create testable designs. You can’t tdd nontestable code.

Once you understand how to design testable code, tdd offers minimal benefits.

The real value comes from thorough, automated testing suites, whatever their origin is.
Caller and Callee Saved Registers in RISC-V
This is very true. We weed out hundreds of applicants ler opening on very simple questions... Think what is the difference between const, var, and let declarations in JavaScript?

The problem is we're all spending weeks and weeks on weeding out fakers. We've moved to a quick pop quiz right after we get an apply. This takes out 85% of the candidates (it makes me sad when I look at how simple the stuff is that weeds them out...). Two interviews are more than enough to land on a hire after that.

Our company is a conversational recruiting software company (you apply, we say hi, and screen candidates in real time and then hook the candidates up with an interview). We started doing the screening in our chat flow and it works really well for us.
>The fallout on both teams may be much worse, in the long run.

The key thing is that nobody's presented any evidence, just some anecdotes. Clearly there are places that have internal competition and have done quite well, like Amazon (compared to e.g. GCP), or many trading firms.
Nobody cares. It's fractionally funded just like 99.999% of banks. Nothing to see here, move on.

Isn't it funny how this anti-Tether garbage is constantly submitted to HN even during the week when a Tether competitor collapsed? Pathetic!

One point uncle bob makes is that doing this for everything allows you to make far-reaching architectural changes with confidence that you haven't broken a bunch of things in places you don't even realize. so the tests are a tool to allow you to do refactorings you would otherwise be scared of
Automating Human Resources and the inevitable dystopian conclusion of such a method of human interaction. And of course the socially awkward software engineer crowd here has no comment.
Waymo Collision with a Scooter
When I first heard about this, I thought it was a brilliant idea.

The alternative, perhaps the norm these days, is PowerPoint-driven meetings. I find this fraught with so many problems.

Firstly, while most people receive a lot of training/education on how to write well, the came cannot be said for putting together decks of slides. Some people are great at it, most are not.

Secondly, condensing everything onto a few slides allows for people to skate by on some sort of 'impression management.' If you put down the right buzzwords, maybe some diagrams, it may resonate with your audience but it does not guarantee that you or they have a detailed understanding of the important details, or even the same understanding of what the important details are.

And thirdly, the presentation is distributed outside the meeting as a static document, shorn of context, and more likely to be misinterpreted. Not to mention, during the presentation, people are more easily distracted as you go through the content, compared to if everyone just reads a memo in the allotted time.

Equalizing the level of preparedness for the meeting is also a great benefit, although that's a more general problem.
Or godot
They used to be (around the 20s maybe?)

At this point I'm not at all sure what people do or make there except they eat a lot of beef.
If this was an ad then I'm sold! Using it right now - definitely gonna tell my project manage about this next week.

I'll be very curious to know how are you guys going to monetize.
They're really incredibly useful for writing emulators. You have to simulate 3-8 processors all running in parallel, but doing so with locks and mutexes tens of millions of times a second is excruciatingly slow and painful, so you have to do this in a single thread (unless you're talking about very modern designs that have lower expectations of cycle-based timings.)

Cooperative threads like this let you completely avoid having to develop state machines for each cycle within state machines for each instruction, etc. They let you suspend a thread four levels into the call stack, and then immediately resume at that point once other emulated processors have caught up to it in time. That lets you do fun tricks like only synchronizing components when required, so it can in some instances end up not only far more elegant, but also much faster than state machines, when they're used well.

I wrote a bit more about this and showed some examples here if anyone's interested: https://near.sh/articles/design/cooperative-threading

I also use them for my web server because I like them, but there are probably better ways of doing that.
What is the chance of a fixed bug getting broken again? As it turned out in our analytics over 10 years: very very low.

So the effort you put into writing a test for a bug, has most likely a negative return on investment. That time could be better spend somewhere else.
Kinda sad that they give this guy a platform.
Kitchen gadgets you don’t need
Amateur mistake, compared to my professional mistakes.

I once wrote a bot that sent email within the company (100K+ employees). I kick-started the bot on a server remotely and only then discovered it's an endless loop. It required server admin rights to stop it, which I did not have.

I couldn't immediately reach server admins so had to physically drive there. An hour or so later somebody helped me kill the process.

The emails already sent could not be cleared out server-side, which meant that recipients had freezing email clients for over a week, unable to handle the volume, a typical 300K new emails per recipient. They had to Ctrl+A and Delete 100 emails, do this for the next 100, and so on, whilst not deleting real and useful emails.

I pretty much destroyed email for those people.

I don't just destroy things at scale though, also at home. Around the time we had our first home broadband internet connection, I set up a web server and just kept my PC running. Unknown to me, the web server software included an email server with open relay enabled by default.

About 3 days later, my dad complained about the internet connection not working. The IPS detected the issue (millions of emails sent out via my home server) and gave us a red card, fully shutting us down, permanently.
Its a marketing claim and so its important.
Why would AI be needed?
Does anything similar exist for iOS?
Unity and Unreal are giant resource-hungry game engines. There are plenty of people making games who only need a fraction of what those two provide. Engines like Stride and Godot -- or any number of other smaller engines -- can be easier to work with if you're resource constrained or looking for something more simple.
You're forgetting about FPGASID[1], which provides dual SID capability and high quality simulation of the original SID's analogue parts, not to mention can be toggled between the two different SID chip versions. It also supports paddles, like the real SID chips, but unlike SwinSID.

The main question for me, beyond the rights of the artists is “can I listen to the version I prefer”? Apple Music has been pretty bad about the issue of multiple mixes of a certain track getting attached to the wrong album (or in odd cases subbing in a live version for an album track). If I don’t like what the Atmos mix of [favorite song] sounds like I’ll be unhappy. But most people probably won’t care.
I don't think we should be disregarding an opinion just because the it comes from someone who is less experienced in the industry.
There are FPGA recreations too which are not software emulation. Not quite an ASIC but realistically as close it at gets at this volume.

> What specifically have you found lacking in OSM compared to OS?

The ability to pick two peaks in the lakes in the more rugged area, and to see enough detail of the land (rather than paths) such that I can see whether it is possible to navigate between them.

I.e. how granular does the waterways go? Are crags and cragginess fully shown? Are ancient stone walls shown? Do the contours show sufficient detail to indicate a stream that in a different season may be following but isn't considered a waterway all year round?

Open Street maps allow me to read the paths, roads, main waterways.

Ordnance survey allow me to read the land.
It is so sad to me that the best electric drivetrain in the world is in a car where they have made pretty much every decision with the goal of taking away from the drivers experience.

I don't want the car to drive for me. I don't want the car to shift for me. I don't want a yolk steering wheel, or to have the turn signals be a 1cm moving target, or to have to use the touch screen to change the headlights, turn on my seat heater, or open the glovebox. I just want a car that gives me the control, and has controls I can actually operate safely while driving, while still having the best drivetrain in the world.

Money, obviously. This engine has a permissive license, MIT.

The question is rather what one can conveniently do with it, in the context of the given game, when compared to a big-name engine.

Possibly, for non-demanding games, smaller engines are a good tradeoff between performance/features and cost. Godot, for example, is free, but AFAIK it doesn't have a very efficient culling (yet)¹, so for smaller games, it may still be worth the savings.

Prince I agree with, and there's many others. It's really weird to suggest Miles Davis and Michael Jordan were the only "GOAT"-level figures alive and thriving in the 90's.
This is also a useful technique for keeping two people in sync about something situational and important. Whenever our pet bird flies down to the floor, which is often, it's vulnerable to being trodden on. So the wife and I call it out whenever we see it, and repeat until the other person also says it out loud.

Works with lots of other stuff, like hot stove tops. It can be a bit infantilizing to the other party unless they're also au fait and on-board with the technique.

Even if it's only rare, the test also shows clearly to a reviewer that the bug has been fixed.

In my opinion, as soon as a test suite finds a bug it has added a lot of value, even if it's rare.
