-- Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen, yes that Andreessen, writing in the New York Times Magazine about Visionary Tech Entrepreneurs with, um, no conflict of interest whatsoever I'm sure.

Turns out Palantir's Alex Karp was also "harnessing goodness through technology." No idea how she missed Adam Neumann.

[Edit: there is an implied conflict of interest in the spouse of a major venture capitalist hyping startups in a supposedly neutral publication, which is something I'm kind of surprised needs clarification, but there is also an explicit conflict of interest -- if we treat the author as a journalist anyway -- in that one of the five companies thus hyped in the linked article was an A16Z portfolio company. Sorry to anyone who thought I was implying that the Andreessens or A16Z were investors in Theranos, I assumed they were not and I didn't intend to imply that. Nor do I think it is in fact implied, but I obviously should have been clearer since people took it that way.]

No, it doesn't. Margin may not affect the width and height of the element with `box-sizing: border-box`, but margin still breaks encapsulation and reusability of the component. You make layout assumptions by applying margin to a component.

> "Salesforce will transform your business" and someone says it doesn't then they have to prove.

You'd have to prove that Salesforce didn't believe they could transform your business, not that they didn't do the transformation.
That's true, it's going in that direction. But that's like saying there's less Malaria year over year because we're naturally building cities and towns that displace mosquito habitats.

If we're going to agree that X is a problem and that we're happy the problem is naturally diminishing at some snail-like pace, then let's also agree to take direct action to solve X properly and now.

We're tackling the Malaria problem, with dollars and behavior changes. Let's tackle the Tower of Babel problem with dollars and behavior changes. English is an okay global language, for example, but its writing system is far from okay.

I haven't seen any data on absolute P650 performance. I've seen some on SPECInt2006/GHz which is interesting but not useful for performance comparisons without the clock speed.
In that case, we'd still need a repo bringing together all these individual lists. I couldn't finding anything like this.

I suggested a single list to prevent repetition and to limit the imports one needs to make to one.
If we're talking about distraction while working/learning/whatever-else-focused-something, then just basic things like blocking time off, turning off notifications, putting phone away, etc. Then it's down to noticing when you're distracted. Time tracking helps some people with this - if you start a timer in Toggl labeled "coding" or "reading library docs", that can help you focus and notice any time when you get distracted and you aren't doing the thing you said you would be doing; it can be a way to set a context for what you're doing. It doesn't work for everyone but you can try it out.

If we're talking about the general "the internet and your phone are rotting your brain" rhetoric, I'm not on board at all. I think the problems are exaggerated, the word addiction is overused and the science isn't solid at all (dopamine fasting is pseudoscience crap).

Both your phone and the internet are great (even social media might be great); just make sure that they don't get in your way.
This article doesn’t have any depth.

TLDR: avoid blocking unrelated async requests via await.

What’s far more interesting and harder to solve ergonomically is to parallelize async functions - parse responses to validate if they’ve succeeded or failed via Promise.allSettled, and then continue to work with the resolved values while retrying any failed requests.

That’s what I was hoping this would go into but unfortunately it doesn’t.
Strange article.

Endemic: (of a disease or condition) regularly found among particular people or in a certain area.

Article: “There are only two paths that can get us to endemic status: mass infection, along with the illness and deaths that entails. Or mass vaccination.”

It’s already endemic.
I expected far more depth out of them than "I wrote this paper on e, and found that people in general adapt their behavior to a particular curve based on their habitual exposure to the unknown.

And I've not seen follow up work of the Dunning-Krueger curve taking into account prior knowledge of Dinning-Krueger either. So no points there.

Thirdly, I'm pretty sure everybody doing self-assessment a du jour at workplaces can be in some way attributed to this fellow's work. This does not currently get you points in my book.

If this summary is correct, they seem to have deserved their PhD in the sense that they managed to bluff their way through it. A bit like getting the gold medal for a marathon as a consolation price when you've managed to do just 10 metres of it (on a unicycle, for reasons unclear to anyone observing).
Nationalizing means no one is really interested in making the thing succeed. They are now only interested in not getting fired. No one's the owner. This is how whole Soviet economy worked and it was a very unpleasant sight.

So I assume you aren't using such component libraries.

Cool, I used to run a service where I break into peoples' homes, take everything I can carry and sell them on. With this business, I was able to make $35 million in 2014. Non-taxable income, obviously.
The issue is that the regulations initially cut into the profits for meat packing companies. Then over time they serve as a barrier to entry, essentially creating artificial monopolies and anti-competitive market stagnation. It's unintended consequences all the way down, with fair competition, sustainable agriculture / food production, and food safety concerns all being different goals, which are sometimes at odds. Admitted the costs and trade offs is the first step to making real hard decisions, and we're just nowhere close to being there as a culture.

According to this[1], that's only in the USA... British English appears to drop the 'r' entirely (that's why I never hear it as I've lived in Europe and Australia)... and the American pronounciation seems so odd, is there any other word where the 'r' and the vowel are swapped like that? I know only one in British/Australian with "centre" being pronounced "center", but can't think of any others.

I'm from Algiers, Africa. Practically nobody wears masks. It is extremely rare to find someone wearing one. Few people are vaccinated. Most people I know had it (young) with minor effects (taste and smell loss, some had a mild fever, others had sore muscles).

I spend a lot of time in places with extreme proximity and promiscuity. Closed spaces with a hundred usual people wearing no masks.

The underlying vibe is that whatever could have happened would have happened in two years already. It wasn't like that in the beginning. We had lockdowns and curfews. We spent a lot of time forbidden from going out before 0600 and after 1300. They change it "according to the situation" (1500,1700,1800,1900,2000,2200,2300, etc). There's no curfew now but they may apply it soon, there's no communication except when they enforce it.

I don't recall where I have read something on the impact of BCG vaccine on COVID-19, and others claiming it has no effects, but all Algerians have a scar on the forearm. You only notice that it's a thing when traveling for the first time and people ask you about it, and when there are memes like "How do you recognize an Algerian abroad ? Look at their forearm for a scar". Mine looks like a spaceship.

Some other sources address the possibility of the different genetics having a role.

There are relatively few sources of information about the stats. Testing is practically non existent.

I also know a few people who have died and the communicated cause of death was COVID-19. Parents of friends of the family and older people.

This is only anecdotal. There's practically no data, and there's a heavy survivorship bias.

Maybe the distinction is that the request (your request) is itself not responsible for the change.
Which is it? I'm confused. Is code review coaching or mentoring?

Re-reading: code review is coaching I think. Because you're asking for directed feedback, not general life advice.
Although I acknowledge the fact of her wrongdoing and that such has to be prosecuted so others would "think twice" before committing a fraud (healthcare-related fraud especially) I, to be sincere, understandably feel zero real anger to her - because the whole thing happened rather far away and didn't affect anybody I know.

At the same time I feel genuinely curious about her thoughts and emotions as she unarguably is a formidable lady - scamming so many supposedly smart and competent people obviously requires outstanding logical and emotional intelligence (note emotional intelligence doesn't necessarily imply being good, it means being good at observing, understanding and managing emotions of yourself and others, whatever a purpose, good or evil), understanding of the market, society and people.

This makes me sad she herself never wrote a book and if and when she will (perhaps she'll have time for that in the prison) she is hardly going to write anything but "I'm so sorry" bullshit.

RFC2616 says:

> A sequence is idempotent if a single execution of the entire sequence always yields a result that is not changed by reexecution of all, or part, of that sequence.

Which isn't, because of isolation, true in general of database queries. Obviously this is in context of RFC2616 saying that sequences of idempotent HTTP operations may not be idempotent in themselves, but that definition seems very incomplete in the context of database queries.

> Is application-dependent and applies to all other HTTP methods too.

Sure. But I don't think that's a good argument in the modern world. Over the 22 years, we've learned a lot about the security concerns of running secure systems, and it seems reasonable to include those concerns in a section labelled "security considerations". SQL injection is a classic security bug, and should be a key concern of any reasonable new standard for sending queries between systems.

A full security section should probably also mention cache timing side-channels, locking-related covert channels, and other similar concerns that come up when you increase the semantic power of HTTP. It's not that POST doesn't have these concerns, it's that we've learned in the last two decades that they are real problems for many kinds of real systems.

I don't get the impression that gender roles evolve the same way in that culture.

Ironic that her board of directors-- one of the most praised aspects of Theranos-- probably hurt her when it came to going after her with criminal charges. These were some of the most well-connected people in the country, and making them look like fools did her no favors. Once it was clear this wouldn't go away quietly, I'd bet they pushed hard to ensure criminal prosecution. (which I think she deserved anyway.)

Especially because it was those same directors' reputations that likely helped the fraud go on so long. There was probably a fair number of skeptics who thought "Surely they wouldn't put their name on something like this if there was nothing there". I doubt Kissinger or the people around him want the last of his legacy to be punctuated by Theranos.

I'll be honest: I kind of thought the same thing. That a breakthrough in science of this magnitude with so much silence around its details was strange, especially in the face of some expert skepticism. But the idea that Henry Kissinger etc. would attach themselves to it without compelling evidence made me more or less shrug my shoulders and move on.
It's not an unreasonable opinion where small children with no comorbidities are concerned. Extremely low risk from COVID; tiny but not non-existent risk from the vaccine. It's a different matter when you're in your early 70s though.

“She didn't murder or harm anyone. She committed fraud.”

Fraud is harm.
The thing is, "debt" and "det" can be pronounced very slightly differently without claiming that you're "pronouncing the b".

A "b" sound is very distinct in English, involving a closing of the lips.

If "debt" were instead spelled "deht" (and pronounced exactly the same), readers would claim that they "pronounce the h".
It really depends on the core. An SMT8 POWER8 core might see an 80% throughput increase going from 1 to 2 threads but those have been accused of being two SMT4 cores standing on each other's shoulders wearing a trenchcoat. 30% for a mainstream x86 consumer core is a good average expected value but it'll tend to vary a lot by workload with lower IPC tasks tending to get better results.

Nah you shouldn't feel bad for her, if you read into it she was constantly lying from the very beginning. As for media responsibility, I don't know how responsible they really are here for the actual fraud. While Holmes sent their stories of her to investors, she also had fake documents and other lies that made the bulk of her pitch (ie the military work).
Awesome! I suspected you knew better, haha!
There's a lot more that doesn't have to do with the JIT. Yes, in some cases it's about providing hints to the JIT to generate better code. Things like casting to unsigned types for example. But the weird ones (one I came across recently was something like condition ? true : false) are fairly rare. Which makes sense in a way: Not all code is that performance-critical that you have to save two instructions. But for things where the baseline performance is a few nanoseconds in many cases, it probably makes sense taking whatever measures you can to ensure that the machine code looks like you'd expect (and make a note to improve the JIT, which also happens regularly).

Technically you could count vectorization in the category of codegen issues, but since the JIT won't output vector instructions on its own I don't think that's really fair (and you have the same issues in languages like C or C++ that do auto-vectorize, but not reliably or good enough).

What is also frequently optimized, is allocation behavior by ensuring that the code doesn't allocate more memory than needed and in a lot of cases no memory at all. And C# has a lot of tools for that kind of optimization that don't really veer into code that looks atypical.

Oh I mean thinking that just because you aren't at risk you don't need the vaccine. I think the twins were mistaken of course, given their age. But for example, myself being younger and healthy I believe I'm also low risk. But I am still relieved to be vaccinated. I know people who still have breathing issues because they caught it and it continues to impact them months after recovering from the virus itself.
Right. What's your theory on why this happens?
Ok, I understand what you mean. But that's very much not true. Because when I look at what the eventual end goal is, i.e. having a side project turn into my full time job, that's very much the life I want. Being able to do my own thing, and decide my own hours, or location where I work from.

I'm not scared of doing the work, or putting in the hours.

I regularly write code in this optimized form and regularly get code review suggestions to change the code to make it sequential "for readability". Yes, it's harder to read, but it cuts runtime in half or more at the most performance critical part of the application. I think we developers too often try to cater to an imaginary lowest common denominator developer. Sometimes it is okay if code takes a little extra effort to read.
