I don't think it is. I thought about it quite a bit before posting, actually.

The entire page I'm critiquing is itself a critique of poor methods of communication. That's the only reason I bothered to post a critique at all. If someone's going to post a rant about how people aren't writing their papers well, I definitely see them as fair game for a critique on how they chose to communicate that to the reader.

You can try to equate what I did to someone complaining that some site explaining a math concept breaks their scrolling, or that the color scheme is hard to read on mobile for some game blog, but I think this is different. When the subject matter is communication, and that communication is done in a way which aged very poorly, I think that's worth pointing out. I doubt this person would have submitted a paper with poor font sizing and spacing, because those are fairly well established as to what's acceptable and what isn't, yet they haven't bothered to make sure their own writing doesn't confirm to many other widely accepted sins.

For what it's worth, he has another, newer page at http://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~jrs/ with links to items as new as in 2021, yet still prominently links this same page and doesn't have any formatting on the rest of their content.

In my eyes, that makes them fair game for criticism of this sort, and I think that also makes it relevant.
Howdy, author here. I'm particularly excited about Pants now supporting Pyupgrade: https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade. It's a well-written tool to automate using all the amazing new Python features, like f-strings.

I'm happy to answer any questions and hear any feedback!

With death of GFWL, GTA 4 multiplayer was shut down because it depended on GFLW, supposedly. Fallout 3, whose GFLW was removed in a patch a few weeks ago, had to be recompiled with Visual Studio 2019, breaking a lot of compatibility with what modding experts believe to be the entire foundation of mods (script extender). There is a lot of things wrong with depending on a server for local software that could work perfectly on their own. Hopefully people in the future look back at the current era and realize how backwards we thought, but as you describe, it will probably only get worse.

I also worry for Steam one day, even though they committed to making a plan for releasing titles if they were to ever shut down. How could they possibly honor that commitment when millions of players log in to download their terabytes of content the day they decide to shut down? Maybe they would do it in waves, but it won't be pretty.

On an Onyx BOOX Max Lumi with four refresh rates, "Normal" (highest quality, lowest refresh), "Speed", "A2", "X-Mode", I find "Speed Mode" entirely suitable for terminal-based work (Termux or SSH sessions).

Of course, colour-based syntax highlighting is unavailable, though a colour-eink device should be able to deliver a workable interpretation.

The "Normal Mode" is best suited to paginated books without any animation, and is virtually indistinguishable from printed paper (B&W/greyscale). Animation of any sort results in very annoying screen flash.

The "Speed Mode" effectively halftones images. I find that this often gives better results on photographs or shaded images, which otherwise appear slightly posterised in "Normal" mode. Most website animations are only grossly annoying (as per usual) rather than disrupting the display. (I really wish there were a toggle to disable animations entirely across web browsers.)

"A2" is mostly indistinguishable from "Speed" in my experience, though the refresh is slightly faster / ghosting slightly higher. Use when scrolling rapidly through materials. (Paginated navigation is much preferred for e-ink generally.)

"X Mode" is really only suitable for video. I actually watch many of those in "A-2", though in truth, this is more an "it's amazing it can be done" than "it works well". Yes, you can get a general impression of a video, but it's not a high-fidelity experience. That said, I don't watch much video in general.
It’s not a false statement.

You are correct that saving lives in this way doesn’t put money in anyone’s pocket. Nor can the value generated be taxed.

However, it generates $50 billion relative to the actual state of the world in which there is a cost that large due to suicides.

In one of the episodes of The Good Wife (a legal-politico drama), the defense lawyer's investigator gets her hands on the "original" video and finds something relevant on it, and comments on how the police / prosecution often give re-encoded videos to the defense so that they miss some important detail in it. As someone who isn't American, I remember wondering how that could be legal and thought it was poor research by the otherwise fantastic team of writers of that show. Surprised by this news today!
Your "own the world" idea sounds more like the manic side of bipolar disorder rather than a healthy moderation that represents a "non-depressed person".

You're right that "own the world" mania is dangerous and destructive. I hope you're not suggesting that this is the inevitable tragic state as the only alternative to depression.

People in the thousands-of-years-ago African plains were still people. They weren't in a constant state of narcissistic mania. And the idea that they were violent and dangerous until civilization or depression moderated them is as contrived as the idea that they were noble-savages who lived in peace and harmony.

I fear that a lot of depressed people wallow in their depression by critiquing non-depressed people as though they were all manic and dangerous, and thus this is a defense of staying depressed and doing nothing about it.

There really are healthy moderated ways to live. For tons of different reasons, we see huge variations in the level of difficulty people have in finding or maintaining that healthy moderation.

I do the same thing, though it's quite a bit faster than 1s (perhaps my schema is smaller).

No docker though. I just run my migration scripts against the template database. In CI it runs every time; for local testing, I drop the template db and run the migrations.

The only annoying thing is that my local pg instance fills up with test runs. The good thing is that it's really easy to go back and inspect the database after a test run. But periodically I have to run a script that drops them all.
You raise good points, but I'm largely with the author.

* grandmothering: The author's examples weren't actually about orienting the paper in the field. They were giving redundant background material on the field itself. I think the distinction was not made clear. If I were to speak for the author, I'd say that it's not about dropping these introductory sentences, it's about making them say something useful to somebody. Orienting a paper's place in the field is useful. Telling me that distributed computing deals with scalable problems is not.

* I have never, ever used the textual table of contents to find my way around. If it was guaranteed that section numbers were included, I might train myself to rarely get some use out of it. If there are no section numbers, it is worse than useless, and sometimes indistinguishable from bragging: "first, we propose a novel algorithm. Next, we prove that it is brilliant. Later, we show how it's what you wish you could have come up with but didn't. Finally, we describe what a loser you would have to be to not recognize our brilliance."

* It may be the opposite of what is taught, but this is the one that I feel most strongly that the author is 100% correct. If you want a summary, read the abstract. If you want rambling about where this fits in with other stuff, read the introduction. The conclusion may not be needed, but at its best, it's where the gold is. It's not about what you did, it's about why you did it and why other people should care. The rest of the paper is about closing off an open problem. The conclusion should be about what new things your contribution opens up.

The exhortation against new information is still accurate, it's just that it's more nuanced than that. Don't put in new information that's relevant to the problem you're addressing and the solution you've come up with. But do put in new information about things not addressed in the rest of the paper. There's prior work, which should be referenced in the introduction. There's your work, which is described in the body of the paper. There's future work, which is for the conclusion. There's also the layer above, the wider meaning and ramifications of your work; that's also for the conclusion. "What useful insight can I provide as a result of burying my head in this problem for months or years?"
I second that. It's a bit surprising to me that teams could have such big PRs and branch stacks. I can only say from own perspective but I imagine this kind of nightmare would be our reality now if we didn't pay attention to improve the we work and use PRs along the way.

PRs work very well for us and if we find ourselves stacking them, then we keep an eye on getting them into master (yes, we don't use the 'main' bs) in reasonable order. Then Github is actually doing job for us changing the target branch once the underlaying changes are merged into it.
I often fiddle with CSS of sites that I visit to make them work better for me. Sometimes I save the custom styles if I'm likely to visit the site again (I use Stylebot).

Usually just blogs and stuff, though, trying to mess with a React or Angular app is usually futile.

I think you're missing the point. What if it became a meme to collectivize around a DAO that meme-ifies fighting climate change? Would that be something that interests you? A good example of someone that already altruistic things for the world and makes it fun is Mr. Beast on youtube.

For instance on a quick search I found this video of him rallying a bunch of people to clean an extremely dirty beach.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV2gBU6hKfY

Humor and productivity don't have to be mutually exclusive. Maybe humor and fun is the way we get the average person to engage in collective action and do things that everybody thinks are impossible otherwise.

Maybe you could use your imagination a little bit to potentially think about why something like ConstitutionDAO might have larger implications than "it's just another ponzi-scheme. Or fall in line with the rest of Hacker News that fails to see how real people can benefit from an interesting technology.

A burnt match is broken beyond repair. And certainly there are human medical conditions which presently elude our technical ability to "repair" them. Rabies is a good example; if we didn't have the vaccine for it, then I think it would be pretty clear that an infected person is broken beyond repair.

On top of linear algebra, is it also possible to interface it directly to standalone, well optimized existing QP solvers, like HPIPM (https://github.com/giaf/hpipm)? In case one is interested in implementing MPC controllers.
Hm. I'm not sure if you're asking what you want to ask.

The definition of a turing machine is not based on the halting property at all. A turing machine is defined as a 5 tuple (if I recall right) with some structure to the tuple elements and that's it. Infinitely running turing machines are just turing machines. The halting problem is actually based around the idea of halting, or non-halting turing machines.

Now, a busy beaver is defined as a turing machine which stops after making a mess of a certain size. So a TM that never stops cannot be a busy beaver by strict definition.

Right, seems pretty irresponsible for the article writer to be writing to an audience that is geared towards beginners or at least people that don't understand electronics. It is irresponsible to not write about or at least try to deduce what the ramifications of doing this mod will do. And if they can't do that, I argue it would be better to stay out of the topic for writing purposes.

> HN isn't that far in terms of design either.

HN does get called out for that, and additionally, HN is not presenting a critique on communication.

> Curious to know what minimum formatting you expect.

For a CS professor? Little to none. For a CS professor that is providing criticisms in how papers are presented as "sins"? A minimal amount of formatting to provide some readability, such as what they would likely critique in any paper they expected others to read, would be a good minimum.

As I noted in another reply, once you start critiquing communication issues, you're fair game. Otherwise, I could care less, and I'm not usually one to complain about site design or usability, because honestly I generally prefer it somewhat minimal (but "minimal" that becomes "somewhat unreadable" over time is something that can and should be avoided).
Probably just a fail-safe configuration that never got adjusted after so many iterations.

They tend to have their hands full just getting things working and fixing bugs.

Couple weird things in the article that stood out to me

>I told the children early on Saturday morning. “Daddy isn’t coming back,” I said as we lay curled into each other in bed. “He didn’t want to live any more and he made himself die.”

is that really the best way to break the news to young children?

Ah, well I had no intention of implying that all of life is suffering, but the succinctness of my comment can be read that way, sorry. Your take is quite reasonable, IMHO. The gist of a lot of the quotes that search brings up is more or less the same: without suffering, it may be more difficult to understand how deeply good the pleasant experiences of life are. Which for me, would include looking out the window at the rain. (I live in a desert.) My best friend (lives in Belgium) thinks the opposite.

And texting over AX.25 packet radio was a thing before that :) We used to have whole conversations on the local BBS and sometimes even in UI broadcast frames watched in the Rx monitor. Repeated a few times to compensate for loss of course.

After all APRS is just a protocol atop AX.25.

To be honest I never saw the fun in APRS. I don't want to broadcast my position all the time. And that's really all its used for, save the occasional 1:1 text message.

When APRS became popular it took the whole packet group chat thing away. That was a bit like IRC. The old packet radio had much more to offer. It was amazing because the internet wasn't available to us at that time and BBSes required phone calls by the minute. Being online all day would cost more than a monthly wage. But I could be online and chat on packet all day for free.

But because its speed never continued scaling up, it was just too slow for anything but APRS in the end. It's sad that this whole community has gone. I kinda hoped the Digi modes would bring something back but it's mainly just voice. International group voice which is in itself amazing but I miss the chats.
I wish there was a way to have access to all streaming services but only pay a micro-transaction for the shows you want to watch. An a-la-carte video streaming service.
It’s actually a huge issue - look at how eliminating a key difficulty in obtaining certificates massively increased HTTPS adoption (via LetsEncrypt and others)

Similarly, automation affects how easy or hard it is to replace a CA, for example, if moving to distrust a CA. If you rely on QWAC attributes, you can only use QWAC CAs, and changing CAs becomes significantly more complex.

The audit issue is definitely an issue: the audits used are fundamentally different than what browsers try to achieve, and so having to adopt the lower standard definitely impacts user security. However, my point was that in addition to those concerns, the technical design itself results in less robust and less agile systems, and that makes things less secure.
I hate to be that contrarian guy, but I repeatedly put off calling spectrum to cancel our TV subscription (we never ever used it) because it involved talking to an actual salesperson who clearly used all sort of tricks to get me to upgrade to stuff I don't need.

Note: I can upgrade plans on spectrum just fine, but cancellation or downgrades means talking on the phone.

Based on my anecdata, this technique works just fine for companies - either they can charge longer for things that are not used, and/or they get a chance to personally talk to a customer to upsell them.

I'd very much like to believe these technique does work against companies, but I don't see it.
