First realize that SQL is not a procedural language, you are only describing the result set. The data store will then create an execution plan which is the actual code that gets run. Learn to read the explain in your data store of choice (very few swe do this). If you have access to a database administrator in your company, befriend and learn from them. Read about how databases store and retrieve data: from sql to data pages. Measure measure measure. Learn about different types of indexes and their trade offs. Remember that “it depends” is the answer to almost every db question and that you should be thinking through all you codes interactions. That is the path to mastery of dbs.
Thanks heaps for trying it out and the feedback. Speed with Andi is a really interesting consideration, because it takes such a different approach.

You'll notice there is a lot of variation. Basically, web search is fast, question answering is slower.

Regular search queries average around 800ms.

It is the deep answers that can take 5 or 10 seconds, or even longer, because they're doing much more analysis of the content in real time, not just returning an answer from an index.

If you go to https://andisearch.com/settings you can adjust the tradeoff the amount of resources and time you give to complex question answering. The more resources and time you give Andi, the better the quality of the answer, but the slower it might be.

The default is a "best bet" option where it tries to guess how complicated the question will be to answer, and then uses that allocation.

It depends on what you are doing. Imagine a blog about model steam trains, say 3.5" guage. It is not general interest.

Or local archaeology. Again, not general interest.

Or an artist and his/her work. Again not general interest.

But in all these scenarios there is benefit in it not being yet another Facebook group and having comments open for that specific community.

For spam there is good old recapthca and then the check to see if it is Eric Jones.

Some people are not popular and don't get a torrent of comments to filter.

It all depends on what you are doing.

With software you can't expect useful comments. Stack Overflow have got people covered. But with something like model steam engines where there is geographical scope and a particular demographic, comments make sense.

I don't know, if they are not going to implement the feature I almost prefer to be told right away. (Although a short explanation of some possible workarounds and/or a rationale for not implementing it would be tots).
I know it's just an example, but it seems to be more about sugarcoating than about being genuinely helpful.
Obesity is due to the introduction of high fructose corn syrup and decades of the sugar industry making out that "low fat" foods in the shops are better for you, whilst lacing them with sugar to make them taste better.

She conflates ICF and MCF. There are numerous reasons to be pessimistic about ICF.

Thanks for trying out Andi and sorry about the error. We've had a couple reports of the Blue Screen of Death. I really appreciate you including the stack trace! We don't log searches so we rely on reports from users when things go wrong.

Looking into these now!

For reporting bugs, you can also say "bug report" and Andi can capture more information and include some debug info. But in this case you've given us really helpful information already.

Thanks for trying out Andi too!
> Maybe you misread something there?

I didn't.

> Or do you practice secret voting in decision making among your friends?

Now you are making a strawman. But I'll answer anyways. If I had a simple way to do anonymous polls with friends (e.g. an app) I would certainly use it because it would be a fun experiment.

But this is besides the point. Social pressure exists amongst coworkers, volunteers, friends, families and even couples. A lot of it.

That's why secret voting is useful in many environments even where people trust each other.

The crazy thing is the pandemic still wasn't long enough to teach companies how to work remote or hybrid. I literally forwarded a list of 10 best-reviewed books, articles, etc about remote working to my org's leadership, and I don't think they read any of them. They certainly never changed the way they work. We still spend upwards of 25% of our time in meetings with no agenda to talk about coming up with a plan to start working. We still don't document needed information, we just bug people on Slack for the same information over and over. In-person people are still "huddling" around a laptop that nobody on remote can hear.

I'm not aware of any empirical evidence that working in person is better for productivity. But what it does do is make 50% of the people feel happier - the people who want to escape their home-family to be with their work-family. In this sense I totally understand why management is forcing people to come into the office: it's because management just likes in-person, and they don't want to learn how to work hybrid or remote-first if they keep the office.

I think there continues to be a competitive advantage for remote-first companies. They can be more productive, have a global pool of talent to choose from, and potentially lower overhead. I think we're going to see incumbents remain in-person while disruptive companies will be increasingly remote-first.
I am not sure what you are trying to say here but the halting problem does not say anything about runtime and is very much not relevant to real world computers which are strictly speaking not even turing complete due to having finite memory.

That you cannot have a program that will decide if arbitrary theoretical programs halt on arbitrary inputs has no bearing on how well specific real-world software is able to deal with real-world inputs. You can have a smartwatch, a virtual synthesizer and IoT switches that are guaranteed to have a fixed upper response time for the tasks they are designed for. That they don't provide these guarantees is only because most users prefer a device that works 99% of the time but is much cheaper.

Relational algebra, set operations and SQL. I learnt the power of parallel queries on massive datasets when directly manipulated with relational algebra, set ops and SQL. For eg: Create Table XX as Select a, b, c from YY, ZZ where ...

Lambdas, async and Linq. Somewhat related to the previous point, but combining these three helps with writing expressive and powerful declarative and functional code.
Not just most specific, though. IDs are weighted higher than classes, so if there's a tie between 2 rules, an ID wins over a class, even if it comes first. If 2 classes (or things weighted the same as classes) tie, the later rule wins.

IIRC the Rock Band team was borne out from part of the GH team that had a different view of the game. It's all in the title: Rock Band vs Guitar Hero. One is collaborative, the other competitive.

The RB team had this vision that the game was a mind trick to maybe get people into music, with a low barrier to entry, ramping up all the way to RB3's pro guitar (the one with 6 strings and the full fret board, that ends up showing actual chords on screen), pro keyboard, pro drum set, and so on. Of course it's useless to pretend this makes you learn the real instruments, still you get to approach key things like pacing yourself, rhythm, strumming, song structure, pattern matching, rehearsing, talking to your band members... all while having a damn fun time.

And dare I say, this was a success, at least for one of my friends and his family. I showed him RB1, he enjoyed it so much that the next day he bought a X360+game+accessories, started playing it, and pulled along his wife and two daughters, where they rotated instruments in turn. As they ramped up through the whole RB saga up to RB3, they thought "it's so fun playing this game together, kinda like being a band!". Next thing you know they picked up real instruments and started an actual band.

I myself picked up the guitar much more easily, not because of any technique learned (because the game is incredibly different from the real thing still) but because it made me raise in confidence that this was approachable.
I'm doing this, new company policies are half a week in office. I get there 2 days a month since December (4 days this month but I needed to met coworkers). I do get email from the management occasionally but I either ignore them or use a poor excuse 'i didn't feel well enough to take the train this week '. They know I'm able to find a new job so they don't have any leverage.
I shut them off on Tedium for three reasons:

1) They were difficult to manage. You never know when someone is going to spam you or take a swipe at you. And if a post goes viral, you’re basically inviting both of those things.

2) Disqus, the primary comment system I used, had advertising that you had to pay for to remove, and I was going in a different direction with my ad strategy at the time. (Also, even if I was OK with running ads like that, they were no longer worth the price of admission. There was a time back when I ran my old site, ShortFormBlog, where Disqus ads brought in a couple of hundred bucks a month. No longer.)

3) There are many other venues for people to offer their take on a piece; why limit them?

I think Boing Boing’s approach of replacing comments with a forum struck a good balance.

Roughly speaking: people who seem to enjoy having power and control over other human beings find opportunities to do so, and so it's important to be wary of that trend when unusual research takes place within your region or organization.
What do you think FPS means in the context of a terminal text editor? The linked page is pretty clear in what the author means: “Cursor movement and edits render under 10ms”. So FPS = 1 / latency. The link I gave measures latency; < 10ms is > 100 FPS.

(Though I doubt the statement re: Zee < 10ms latency in practical terms. I think only xterm and Terminal.app are consistently below that in terms of pure terminal latency)

Another important piece is that the total size of the code (223+32) is determined by the _word size_; in the common case, 8 bits. For an N-bit word architecture, your code may contain at most -1+2^N bits, or 255. So to practically implement an RS(32k, 32k), you'd need an efficient way to operate on 16 byte words, which we just didn't have in the 70s when these codes were devised.

I don't disagree with any of that and you are right with that it is not "unrelated" as I worded it, but my initial point was that moving is not necessarily motivated by political preferences.

Many people move, because they are following opportunities (and of course these are also affected by politics). Some people move from A to B and back to A. Sometimes from democracies to dictatorships. It does not automatically mean that they do so, because they prefer one or the other system. Some people accept a political downgrade when they move.

I'm starting to doubt this advice. I'm a "change it" sort of personality by nature - a reformer. When faced with these 3 options, I've chosen "change it" many times. And more often than not, I've found myself in a political crossfire, with new unwelcome knowledge of the various forces (typically some combination of self interest, ego, and turf-guarding) that are responsible for the thing I'm trying to change.

My current lesson is - most things that look like an easy win would have been claimed a long time ago if not for some unholy hidden mess. If I'm to vote for "change", I should be prepared to deal with the unholy mess. It doesn't matter that I don't see it, it's out there somewhere.

Since I rarely want to take on an unholy mess, and I'm not good at the kind of doublethink that would allow me to love a thing I'm not inclined to love, usually that just leaves one option.
If only there was a way to generate a minimal cascade from a given set of styles. Sort of automatically detect properties that can be moved to a common parent.

I think the animosity towards "over use" by some of the core community is misguided. The continued work that goes towards improving extensibility and features is surely a sign that someone finds it worth contributing towards. And the number of projects on Github or Django Packages that hook into the admin have to be written by somebody.
This is somehow such a difficult thing for people to grasp. "Yes the government gained the power to reach into our bank accounts, but it was for a good reason. I'm sure neither this nor any future government will ever abuse that power or mislay information they now have access to."

"Nobody knows what entropy really is, so in a debate you will always have the advantage."

~ Claude Shannon

I've become more and more uncomfortable with the word "entropy" as used in cryptography. The word "random" has always been problematic. I try to use "unpredictable" instead, because I have half a clue what that word means.

I think "entropy" is used to mean "unpredictable in principle", which would exclude chaotic processes like CPU jitter. Chaotic processes like the weather are predictable in principle; but they are so complex that in practice they are unpredictable. Quantum processes such as radioactive decay or tunneling seem to be unpredictable in principle. If it's unpredictable, then to my mind it's sufficiently unpredictable for cryptography.

The Intel HWRNG depends on chaos - the jitter in gate propagation times. I'd settle for that, if it weren't for the fact that the raw chaos from the process isn't available for inspection - you can only see the result of obfuscating it using AES. How much bias is there in the raw bitstream from the unencrypted HWRNG output? I have no way of finding out.

Entropy accounting in the Linux RNG seems to be somewhere between heuristics and guesswork. It seems to be awfully complicated, given that it comes down to finger-in-the-air estimates.

Hosting comments on a blog has a non-zero cost. There's infrastructure required to support them, security concerns, and then content concerns. For all the potential costs there is vanishingly little utility in self-hosted comments.

A comment section on a blog only makes sense in the world of spherical cows and friction-less pulleys. The vision is a blog post will start a conversation with readers. The reality is that spammers and trolls will necessitate moderation that will quickly eat the time a blog author might spend having conversations.

Maybe they just want urban living with some space? Having done both, it was really nice being able to walk everywhere and ignore the car and traffic most of my life. More things to do, etc.
