Thanks, this thread was great.
I found perf pretty crummy compared to vTune and even vTune is not fantastic at scale.
Higher education in this country (and probably others too) is unbelievably messed up. Everybody I know or have heard of going to grad school has had to work brutal hours for years on end. That is a recipe for burnout, not academic advancement. Universities today are basically sweatshops for highly educated people.

Meanwhile endowments continue to swell, and tuition soars. Somebody is winning in all this, and it isn’t the students or the faculty.
Windows ME really doesn’t belong in this list. Comparing the NT lineage to the non NT lineage is silly IMHO. ME was a successor of 98, not 2000.
Immigration is already a filter - not everyone can immigrate, and the ones that can are really motivated (since you have to jump through a lot of hoops to do so). So immigrants can work hard because they self-select for people who can work hard. Not everyone can - the people that can't don't end up immigrating.

(I say that as a first-generation immigrant, albeit one who moved at a really young age, so I kind of straddle the line and understand both perspectives)

Solutions for immigrants might not generalize to the whole population because of this filter effect.

>> you'll almost never see CNN write an article critical about Democrats

I can name one CNN reporter right off the bat who does and his post is nearly always in the headline section for the topic being covered:

Find me the same thing on Fox and I will accept your arguement.
My dad has a friend who owns a bus-sized camper/RV in addition to multiple cars and a beachfront home, but doesn't consider himself rich because he can't afford a large boat.

Point being, I think people are more aware of the unattained wealth above them than the levels they've already surpassed. (Myself included). The comment you replied to strikes me in the same way, though not nearly as blatant!

Which part aren't you sure about?

Two facts-

-Android is the most popular mobile OS by a long ways

-But in every jurisdiction its representation among web visitors lags, usually significantly, its marketshare. iOS users, despite the horseshit that appears from Apple detractors, use their browser more than they do on alternatives. They are over-represented online.
Their CS seems to have improved a lot in the last few months and there is now an accompanying survey at the end of each interaction (ime) so if you still have your device, I would ask you to retry. Also, consider joining the Discord/Matrix/Reddit forums for the device if you like - someone might be able to help you anyways.

> Most importantly, Fast Grants didn’t change the vaccine timeline, and vaccines were clearly the most important component of the response.

They are being really intellectually honest here. One thing you couldn't apply for for Fast Grants was a media effort to convince people to take the vaccine.

And speaking of the power of individuals, Robert De Niro (https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et...) and other A-Listers actively campaign against vaccines. Fauci said he wishes DiCaprio would endorse the vaccine - as Fast Grants said, pretty obvious - and of course DiCaprio hasn't, he thinks vaccines cause autism.

Were there any institutions who were adversaries to vaccine adoption?
There’s really no other way to get an experience like a private pool away from home, for example. The surroundings can often be much more peaceful too, e.g. a house may be in a quiet street and not in the middle of downtown.

A project doesn't have to be that complicated to be useful. I've coded two utilities. One for converting IPs to their hex representation and back and linking it to various files automatically (for PXE booting), and another for using Mailgun from command line.

Both tools are 2-3 hour jobs, running on production for years, and they meet all the requirements. OTOH, if you want to extend them, you can improve them leaps and bounds and they'd be never finished in my life.

I love this quote from DaVinci: "Art is never finished only abandoned". I also consider software as a form of art (which we can debate if you feel), and in my book, software's never finished, only abandoned.

And, to be honest, I love how software is never finished.

Ask HN: How do you use Google to find legitimate and good content?
Today is one of those days where I have 5 hours blocked off to do research. I have three topics I want to focus on (all unrelated):

1. How robotic process automation (RPA) works and who the key players are.

2. Examples of very good personas for marketing.

3. How to use Django as a backend for React JS.

When I use Google, I get a lot of SEO content that has absolutely no value... And a lot of the blog posts I find that seem relevant are also out of date or simply incorrect (e.g., Django -- typos in code that clearly throw errors, and then I worry about security). Don't even get me started on RPA because aside from a few market research reports and press releases, it's all the same content.

I do a lot of work in ML and don't remember the last time I searched on Google for anything... I read newsletters that are behind signup walls, but these aren't indexed... I also follow people on Twitter and watch Youtube videos, which are nearly impossible to sift through in a search-like interface.

What am I missing? Does anyone have any advice on how to search?

I feel like I'm from another century (though technically I almost am). :-)
I'm in agreement that there is a lot of room for improvement in the processes around Code Reviews and so I'm very optimistic about your ability to deliver real value in this area... that said, I'm struggling to square this solution. My experience is that the challenge is the lack of time allocated to Code Reviews and _not_ a lack of visibility: GitHub and GitLab support assigning reviewers and notifications, and there are lots of reminder apps around.

Where do you see the difference in a private message to someone that says "hey, can you check out this Pull Request?" and a Slack channel that automatically says "hey, can you check out this Pull Request?"

I don't mean to be cynical because I do believe there is a problem to be addressed but I am struggling to see how a bunch of auto-updating Slack channels are going to address it. That said, I haven't worked in a team where it's normal to jump on a call to discuss a Pull Request and so maybe that's the fundamental difference that makes it not right for my workflow but does make it meaningful for others.
I don’t know enough about online gaming in Asia to be informed, though some of it looks suspicious. The Iran talking point is strange-They discovered it, shut it down and moved on it seems. The talking points of selling shares is stupid-that is the point of being public so you can start selling stock. And transferring shares to a trust doesn’t relieve the trust of public reporting requirements when the insider is still responsible for the trust. Valuations for a lot of companies are strange but being valued at 2x a peer when it has agreements with the NFL is not absurd.
Minimalism in wardrobe: throwing everything except just plain white shirts and suits. (plus few clothes for sport)

Since then:

- My default look for all work, dates, shopping is always the same(except maybe suit colour), apart from sporting activities.

- I never EVERY have to worry about what to wear or what to buy.

- I AM "the guy in the suit". ALWAYS. EVERYWHERE.

- I do not spend any money on clothes (Except maybe one, two new shirts every year and shoes every two years).

- Ladies DO notice. Its EXTREMELY powerful visual magnet for women, and for my ego/confidence.

- Managers DO notice. I AM THE GUY. I SOLVE SHIT. I LOOK GOOD. I CARE.

- People respect me as default.

- People do remember me.

- For some people I seem "stiff" :/ But such is price...

Not working hard but replacing that work with something else rewarding can be its own payment. Being a ski or surf bum can be amazing and open up opportunities through networking.

If you get into a job at the right level due to educational or social advantage, you can get by working a lot less hard doing the same thing than someone who comes in as an intermediately-skilled contractor.

Working smart, taking risks (eg selling something illegal), and grifting are well-trodden paths that pay off despite reduced day to day effort.
Hah! One of the first things I learned programming was that you could never trust 'debug' and 'release' builds to behave the same. This was back in the late DOS, early Windows days.
Either dedicate a room to study and work or change the environment when you have to

AirBnB will always take the side of hosts; their business model depends on cornering the market on hosts. Where there are hosts, there will be guests, or so they think.

This is why they remove reviews which are negative. I stayed at an AirBnB in Hawaii once, which was filthy. In the middle of the night I decided to just leave, and I told the AirBnB CSR that I couldn't stay there. They agreed and refunded me that day's cost. But they wouldn't let me leave a review, claiming that since I had not stayed, I couldn't leave one. If only I had read a negative review before booking, I would not have booked it.

And recently, I tried to book a place to get away into the boonies for a bit. I noticed that none of the reviews of that place were more recent than May 2020. I put in a request, and never heard back from the host. How rude! Once again, if they had some reviews in there about hosts, I wouldn't have wasted my time.
> Remember this isn't science where there is time for research. Many news outlets have individual journalists contribute 3 to 5 articles per day. Do you think this allows for a lot of spinning an agenda?

I always thought of this as exact the problem. There isn’t time for a journalist to do their research (and the bar is low enough), so instead of reporting the truth, you get what they already thought and already wanted to say, sprinkled with a tiny bit of new info.

Maybe agenda is the wrong word, but it’s close.
Sometimes I make a project just to learn something new. Sometimes I make a project just to prove that some crazy idea I had could actually work. Sometimes I make a project in order to reinvent old stuff in a new way that makes more sense to me.

> Let's just not kill fun by spreading pressure to "finish" or "get it done".

Completely agree. I have no idea why people are being shamed for walking away from projects. They aren't paying us, there's no incentive to offset the boring work. There is absolutely no obligation to finish anything. People who don't like that are more than welcome to do it themselves or pay for it.

If people want to spend time finishing and polishing a project, that is absolutely fine. However, it must happen because they wanted to do it, not because they were shamed for not doing it. Nobody has the right to tell people what to do with their valuable time.

https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn/pull/2581

While the bug does seem pretty critical for websocket users, the patch-version-change ended up breaking any application that uses gunicorn with eventlet (even if you don't use websockets).

It feels slightly like my fault, because eventlet has been at v0.x.x for 9 years now. I used to be a bit hesitant about using anything that couldn't declare a version 1.0.0. I guess I've learned my lesson and just won't use any v0 library except in hobby projects now.

This it the end of an era. Although most people will have never seen it, APL was a pretty influential programming language. It is the main reason that Kenneth Iverson received the Turing award.

It uses its own character set, which makes it possible to write very programs that performed quite complicated calculations. The down-side is that programs are generally hard to understand by outsiders (like yourself next year). All people that complain that Perl is difficult to read, should certainly try APL.

When IBM stops supporting some technology, you can be certain that it is absolutely commercially dead. RIP.
Why can't you just report facts and be done with it?

Something I always wondered, why journalists, news and journalism is always about the "story", the narrative, the emotion ? That would take away a lot of scope for manipulation, harder to misinterpret and easier to spot the culprits.

Till few years ago, it was brought to my attention, they, like all surviving orgs, adapt and simply give what "the people" want.
Oh yes exactly that. It's a terrible execution of a good idea.
You could use a rolling-release distro, but it means you are still updating like every year or so (although in more of a ship-of-theseus fashion).

How do you stop piracy on something like this?

Surely I could take a model, refine it slightly to get distinct weights (ie. not a flat clone) and unload it as my own novel variant?

...and I mean, is the problem not utterly fundamental?

When is a model “yours” or sell?

When you trained it? When you’re not using transfer learning? When you wrote the paper? When you own the training data? When you can recreate it from scratch?

I see this being problematic to look after...
> Mobile devices convince me otherwise.

Why do you think so? We’ve never had such an easily accessible device used by so many people that routinely run untrusted code and is basically full of overly personal information and data. Yet we seldom hear security implications.

I’m no security researcher but recently taken a dive into the topic and the state of the art security research is with mobile OSs and iPhones and to a degree android (GrapheneOS itself) does a great job at it.

I dealt with one bug that was broken on 8 different points until it looked like another bug.

It was paginated content. It would download a page in one class, concatenate it to the existing content. It then sent that page to the view class, which adds it to the bottom of the list.

This would make duplicate content, e.g. ABCDABCDEFGABC... instead of ABCDEFG. Someone had the brilliant idea of filtering new content from the existing ones. So it would be ABCD+(ABCDEFG-ABCD).

So for the most part it worked exactly as planned. But then there would be a point where the app modified data locally. Say, you add a comment on B. B becomes b. Now you have AbCD+(ABCDEFG-AbCD)= AbCDBEFG. Oops.

In the real world, this was done over so many classes, superclasses and so on that it wasn't clear why it was randomly inserting B at certain points, and at which points it was doing this. The behavior performed exactly as tested, but it was just poorly designed behavior and we ended up spending a few weeks ripping out and rewriting the code for this.

Ya, what ridiculousness is that. For those curious $300/day is $109,500, that's the cost to just shaft the IT department on a new employee and pay the fee and you'll come out ahead financially.
Yeah, it's understandable for sure. Personally though, I find overcoming the technical obstacles and the general process of incrementally crafting a better and more perfect thing to be an addicting cycle.. perhaps reinforced by the fear/knowledge that abandoning a project means capping its potential and locking in all those spent hours at minimal return on investment.
I did some research into this for my current employer and the challenges are pretty well laid out here: the penalties are minimal ($300 / day or $~110,000 per year), the data is kept in the invoice or billing systems, which are complex, and the hospitals do not want to share the truly groundbreaking data, which is the per-provider costs.

In addition, when you Google for competitors you don't find a lot of them, but once you start looking at hospital websites you find that quite a few of them (about 50% of the ones I looked at) have at least a partial solution, often provided by their analytics company as an add-on or footnote.

It does not appear there is a great market opportunity here unless the penalties increase (which the CMS has talked about vaguely, but hospitals are already asking for relief until after the pandemic).

Thanks for the "why cue" posts. The two key points appear to be inheritance vs. unification and nothing vs. typed. Somehow I'm unable to grok why unification is better than inheritance. Going a bit deeper:

* "Inheritance, is not commutative and idempotent in the general case"

* "A value is always final in CUE, it can only be made more specific."

From an engineering perspective, the latter is definitely more appealing. But I lack well articulated stories to understand how inheritance fails short, and how graph unification fares better. I wonder if there is somewhere a simple concrete example to contrast the not-idempotent inheritance approach vs. the graph unification approach.
Is it really useful to think of these beliefs as being formed from facts? Or are these beliefs really more a by-product of certain moral positions people take?

"Social intuitionism proposes four main claims about moral positions, namely that they are (1) primarily intuitive ("intuitions come first"), (2) rationalized, justified, or otherwise explained after the fact, (3) taken mainly to influence other people, and are (4) often influenced and sometimes changed by discussing such positions with others."

Honestly, communities should just make their own IRC servers, they're trivial in resources to run and manage, there is no need for Libera or Freenode.
