I've always done one thing that works 100%. It's this: I tell my hiccups to stop, forcefully, out loud. It has never failed to work pretty much instantly.

I've explained it to two different friends so far for both of whom the exact same technique worked. Amusingly, one didn't even speak English but I told him how to say it in English, just as I do, and for whatever reason, it worked for him the same.

Preemption is costly, because you need to save the entire state of the execution you're preempting, in order to restore it later (which is also, as you should know, what makes context-switches slow). Go and async Rust are both cooperatively scheduled, switching back and forth only in specific yield points, which reduces the amount of state that needs to be saved. Adding such a yield point is costly too though, that's why Go didn't add them inside tight loops until 1.14.[1]

Regarding scheduling and how task-switching is done, async Rust and Go are fundamentally the same model (and BTW, the authors of Tokio never hide that they took a lot of inspiration from the Go runtime). The three big differences are the following:

- Go's tasks are stackful, they have their own stack, which is grow-able (the stack is copied into a bigger stack when it's full)

- Go's yield points are automatically inserted by the compiler based on heuristics which vary depending on the version of the compiler. Whereas Rust yield point are manually inserted by the developer. This resonate strongly with the philosophy of both languages (best-effort automatic vs explicit manual control leading to the best performance) which can also be seen on the topic of memory allocation (automatic boxing based on escape analysis vs manual Box pointer).

- Go only has green thread, which means that if the runtime is failing to keep its promises[1][2], you don't have much alternative. Rust has both Async tasks and OS threads, meaning you can choose what works best for your workload.

A consequence of reliance on "cloud" services, exacerbated by tutorial glut and minimal service interoperability without fairly significant training/experience.
I'm on the same boat, but about SRE.

Basically every company have their own definition. For some companies, a SRE is just a traditional software engineer who happens to know how to use Kubernetes, where for others, a SRE is a "modern systems guy", with focus on IaC and automation.

Guess you're experiencing the same but regarding ML.
I would second this - my parents bought them as well after trying mine (Dad got a Titan, Mom got an Omega)! I've been using it for about a year now and have no complaints at all. Great lumbar support too.
There's always treads, or even the rocker-bogie wheel system, as on the mars rovers.
I've never used an AMD CPU and am surprised at these numbers! I do a lot of scientific programming (Matlab, etc) and wanted to be sure I was on the happy path when it comes to the vector extensions, etc.
Hm. Not sure why you're getting downvote(s?); it's an interesting thought exercise. I'm not entirely sure I agree with you, if only because I suspect the current media environment is burgeoning with Colorful Opinion Holders -- very few of whom, granted, are the equal of Doonesbury's Uncle Duke, let alone Thompson.
The essential point is that he's 40 and still doesn't know what he's doing (a common problem in any technical field).

I noticed this the other day and wanted to scream. I pay for Apollo, the very good iOS Reddit client and love it, but the official app is just terrible. And being forced to use the app when trying to quickly browse things (or to want to maybe browse things without logging in) is just the worst sort of UX decision to try to game app usage I can think of.
Around 1996 I got my hands on a ~22" 1600x1200 monitor at work and was amazed by it. I remember games worked ok under Windows 95, but Quake couldn't handle that resolution under Windows NT 4. I got around 3fps, if memory serves.

That and Monster Truck Madness were our goto's.
Ok that makes sense.

I had something very similar. 2 years went by where I visited over 30 doctors, and none of the public healthcare (UK) primary care and specialists had any idea what the hell was going. I took matters in my own hands, was doing blood tests by own research, googled everything I can find. Turns out I had hypogonadism, and had evidence of blood tests to prove it, and even then it took 3 more doctors to prescribe me TRT. Hope software replaces docs faster than lightning
Agree, regular movement is key and even switching between sit and stand every 15-30m is not enough. We are working on an easy to adopt smart robotic chair along these lines to support more frequent useful movement without being as interrupting as a treadmill.

I don't know what you're using dd(1) for where `head -c` would serve (reading the MBR off a disk?) Seems kind of a niche use of dd(1) to me, compared to e.g. mirroring one disk to another disk.

Personally, my own favorite use of dd(1) that I've stumbled upon recently (when making backups of database servers) is that dd(1) functions as a (many times) faster cp(1), when copying single large files between disks with large stripe sizes (e.g. when one or both volumes is backed by a RAID0ed NVMe pools with stripe≥256MiB.)

I think dd(1) is still below optimal throughput here, though, because it's not taking advantage of the huge number of IOPS these disks can put out. (I.e. it's not trying to saturate the IO queue by reading+writing the file's blocks as parallel operations.) Is there a tool that does do that? Like one of the many "parallel rsync" tools, but for single-file use? (Basically, BitTorrent, but for disk:disk rather than disk:network?)

(For my original use case, backing up a database, I had lots of individual 1GB heap files, so GNU parallel + dd(1) actually was saturating the IOPS capacity of the src+dest disk pools. But ever-so-slightly-different use-cases, e.g. moving a tarball of said database around, wouldn't be so amenable.)

Been through anesthesia, did not notice anything of the sort.
I imagine it's different for different people. I survived an event that m doctor at the time warned me there was very little chance of surviving. After working through all of the stages of loss over my future, I managed to come out the other side of my health issues with less impact than expected.

Now it's almost like I've made peace with my death, and don't much care about anything anymore. The only way I can rationalize what my brain's done is it's accepted a world without me, and is OK with that. It's odd, you'd think someone that survives a traumatic event would be overjoyed. I'm just "meh" most of the time now.

Don't kid yourself, there's agendas on both sides, and a hefty chunk of law related to firearms accessories is nothing more than prosecutorial/political window dressing to provide ammo for throwing massive numbers of charges at defendant's to increase the likelihood an AG can secure a conviction through plea deal, or strip yet another citizen of a fundamental civil right.

Note how the involvement of a firearm in anything can double or triple the number of charges that can be levied against a person. It means anyone unfortunate enough to develop a passion for firearms as a hobby has an uphill battle to fight just to prove that by default "they didn't do anything wrong". Those same silencers also protect the hearing of those around a shooter as well. Add the ATF to the mix, and simply having tools and trying to modify a firearm for better ergonomics can land the unaware in hot water when the ATF finds out and make a determination you illegally converted something into something else, and they don't like it one bit.

The humble remote hole punch has become a favorite poster child for the more authoritarianly bent to convince people to part with Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.

I have no silencers/suppressors other than on previously mentioned equipment, and possess no firearms for which I'd be interested in acquiring any, but I did do a short stint wading through the regulatory more that is firearm regulation in the United States.

Abandon all hope, you who enter the domain where a string and a rifle can become constructive possession of a machine gun.

Of course, but in the end everything is an abstraction. You can use functional reactive programming to expose a stateful API, for example; there’s nothing wrong with that.

And on the other end of the spectrum, if you go low level enough you realize that everything is stateful in the machine, so you will need to build (or already have) functional abstractions on top of that.

Bottom line, it’s almost impossible to have a single paradigm on all levels of your stack.
While i agree that it is more difficult to distribute computational load between cpu and gpu than it aught to be, Gpu is not necessary faster for all workloads than cpu, it is very specific. Most of computations can probably be executex faster on cpu.

You live in a desert. I feel like the extremes of your environment are not a useful barometer for a reasonable operating temp.
Thanks for your interesting post. I wouldn't be surprised if you are correct, at least based on my experiences with pseudo-governmental software development. I've noticed that, as a percentage, there seem to be fewer folks who've developed the grizzled paranoia that comes from repeatedly shipping commercial software under unreasonable constraints.

As an amateur RC pilot familiar with some of the excellent RC flight control systems, it would have been a huge missed opportunity if JPL didn't invite some experienced engineers from the commercial and consumer drone community to provide input (QA folks too!). It's hard to imagine they wouldn't have gotten ample volunteers to spend a few days helping out.

I understand JPL is already designing a larger and more capable iteration. It would be cool if experienced drone flight control devs such as yourself dropped the team a note.
The job description was pretty ambiguous, and the interview consisted of pretty standard ML/math questions with some data engineering mixed in. There was one brief offhand comment during the interviews that confused me about the role, but since this was a much larger and more established tech company than my previous job, and since the salary was much higher, I figured that they knew what they were doing and also there was no way they could justify that kind of compensation for someone who wasn't an ML practitioner.

What I am finding out is that this is a very large team of data engineers who are attempting to graduate to ML engineers, but I'm not sure how familiar they are with this space. The purpose of their organization seems to be to support an offshore data science team in Singapore.

I have the Ikea sit-stand desk, but I find it hard to stand during deep focus work. I rotate between a tall cushy stool and standing when the desk is up. When the desk is down I rotate between a standard office chair I got when a former company shut down and a kneeling chair (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08W4YFQTK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_...).

The kneeling chairs mimics my natural sitting posture in the office chair and the stool, but it's brutal on my shins after an hour or two. Sitting like that (which I do anyway) is also quite bad for my hamstrings, which are super short.

I don't really get back pain so much as hamstring and hip pain, but using a resistance band to do a few stretches a day helps a lot.
I’ve found this is very much a function of how new/good the battery is. I’ve been out skiing in ~0 degrees for a couple hours with a newer phone and not had trouble and I’ve had the same phone a year or two later go dead after 45min in 20 degree weather. My current iPhone 12 Pro lasted 45 min at -15 this winter and didn’t run out of battery. I keep my phone in an unheated water bottle carrier

Depends on your skill level, the trick to a good practice project is that is big enough that you are learning the concepts about the language that will push your abilities forward. However, it also should be small enough that you don’t waste your time solving problems you don’t really care about and that are not increasing your skills. For me I am usually learning a language to take advantage of some feature that language has. I know Go makes it really easy to create and test web servers so if that is why you picked it up trying making and testing a simple API. Maybe one that just queries two other existing APIs on the internet and aggregates the results. Making an API in Go would be good because you will need to unmarshal the json from the other two public APIs and combine the object then marshal the object to json and return it to the user. Be sure to write unit tests.

That is a super aggressive timeframe for when media companies started caring about online streaming. And even after streaming became a consideration, it is not a consideration for absolutely every project. Some media is produced without the intent to ever stream it and preemptively securing the streaming rights is therefore an added and unnecessary cost.

I also live in the fifth most populous city in the United States. So, yeah, it is.

Yeah this is a great point, you gotta figure that armored trucks, banks, military stuff, they all have functional physical access control, clearly defined risks, established value, etc. The person wheeling the dolly full of cash and the driver of the truck... well you know those two people are going to be handling bulk cash. The MP guarding the nukes is standing at the checkpoint. Check em' because you can just move on to the next person.

But in the corporate world, theres gotta be huge variance, but so many don't give a flying flamingo who's scoping out what, unless somebody is forcing the issue (and also auditing and reporting to the compliance department, whatever thats for).

They know the people in the NOC/SOC, the C-suite has equity, there may be physical access control, cameras and proxcards out the wazoo, but when Marge from bizdev needs those emails for the marketing newsletter or whatever, she is gonna get them immediately and hand them right over to the intern or vendor or Doug, whatever his job is.

For all the obscene value that the data and access represents, its encrypted, right? What could go wrong? Want to background check the sales people? But... look at this guy's resume!

> “Malice remains its animating impulse.”
> I actually think this is how journalism ought to be.

Malice is the intent to do evil, or in a law sense it means to have a wrong intention. Why would you think that journalism ought to be like that?

> I'm often kind of sad to see how uncritically people, in particular here on HN, eat up these calls for civility, which is simply power trying not to be questioned.

The ability to convey malice and incivility is proportional to power. Anyone who can criticize without fear of being silenced has true power, and anyone who is truly powerless will be silenced one way or another. Civility in discourse is one means of allowing the truly powerless to criticize the truly powerful.

There may be some exceptions I don't know about, but generally no. For example, I went to a walk in clinic a few years ago and there was a problem with my health card. I was in a hurry and it was something that would have been only a few hundred dollars, and I asked if I could just pay for it and was told they cannot take money from anyone covered (whatever that means) from our provincial healthcare plan. So I had to leave and go to the provincial authority to renew my card before a doctor could see me.

A second example, a friend of mine needed an MRI and went to the US (we were near a border at the time) to get it done immediately there. It would have been 6 months or something here.

It's not all bad, I have had diagnostics and procedures done very quickly at times, but you have no control over it - who does it, how long you wait, etc. That's what I think may lead to worse outcomes overall.

If other languages had proper words right for these things, even the people for whom these languages were native would have to explain the words to the kids somehow. And the only ways to teach someone a word are either explain in simple concepts or point to the object and say "this is it". So having the words doesn't really help much. There actually are such words in Tibetan, Pali, Japanese, Chinese, Sanskrit, native American languages, etc but you won't need them once you actually know what do they really mean and knowing them won't be of much use in expressing the meanings to others who don't know so far.

As a rough (yet quite close) example: we have a word for swimming but you can't just say "swim" and see a person who never did like "aha! all I have is to swim!" yet all he has to do actually is to swim and breaking it into simpler concepts isn't a particularly fast way to teach them. I myself learnt to swim (after all the instructors with their theories failed to teach me) just by going into water and trying until I acquired a feeling of how to do it. Curiously enough, there is an easy way to instantly turn the swimming skill of by means of electric stimulation so otherwise normal person believing he can swim (because he did it so many times) would jump into water and immediately discover he doesn't remember how to.

If we consider the experiences and understanding we are discussing useful for others (I believe they can have great therapeutic value for many but also be dangerous for many) all we can do is develop and refine systems of guiding people to experience and understand these things themselves. Religions took care of this historically and Buddhism in particular has been particularly productive (and didn't lost nor hid that with time) but I believe a religion with all its mythological, mystical and dogmatic stuff is not really necessary, rational methods are possible.
