> Neither of these countries' citizens are allowed to freely travel and work within the EU the way that EU members can.

True, but they still have temporary residency permit. And I suspect that their refugee status won’t take that long to be worked out. And then, from a realpolitik perspective, most EU countries cannot afford to have hundreds of thousands of additional people using infrastructure and resources whilst not working (I mean they could, but the whole continent is shifting to the right, so that won’t be a stable political situation). All of this to say, I am pretty sure most of them will be able to get residency permits, which includes right to work in a country and freedom of movement to the others, for at least a couple of years.
Maybe be it's just that I have advocated for open source at my company for a long time. I remember playing with and trying to improve smallC [0] in the 1980' when there was no GCC.

Yet, at the same time, TurboC from Borland was an incredible product. I would be happy to have today a similar editor for Java and PHP.

This is sad for whoever is signing up to work on this. The man is delusional. The claims of revolutionizing everything from physics to economics are a clear evidence that the man lost it.

Exactly, it’s really sad people opt for Wordpress over that
This isn't the government I want.

I want my government to approve most things quickly and efficiently, while still encouraging protecting wildlife and stuff.

There should totally be an option to just build/do stuff and pay a fine afterwards proportional to how close the project would have been to getting approval as built. Ie. If you successfully guess what local government will issue you permits for, then the fine is zero even if you've done the thing already before you got the permit.
We certainly didn't lock down society for two years because of covid.

SEEKING WORK | East Coast USA | REMOTE

I am a 20+ year experienced developer.

Most of my work has involved embedded development (Linux, RTOS, baremetal, C/C++/uPython), including various forms of networking and distributed systems, audio/video, as well as backend services (usually using Python, Django, and Go), deployments (AWS, DO, Ansible, Docker, etc). I also do iOS and Android development. I do some frontend work, but that isn't my specialty.

I love helping people develop new products to meet their goals and needs, especially with a focus for getting it in use and making money as soon as possible to demonstrate utility and make money. I also have extensive experience taking over existing legacy codebases

I am available for part-time or full-time contract work, long-term or short-term. I would love for every project to turn into a lasting business relationship.

Just a note: the taste difference you're picking up on is not due to the simple presence or absence of plastic. Paper cartons are lined with LDPE film and milk jugs are usually composed of HDPE. Both options are, in effect, polyethylene plastic containers.
You can't deny it he has been very productive over the years. If he can pass on what has made him so productive, on to the next research generation, that's a definite plus for his institute.
I was going to interview at LandingAI. I was asked before the interview to install a spyware browser extension to monitor my traffic to detect if I was cheating during the interview. I respectfully declined and didn't have that interview.
It does allow you to not have a distinct move reg1,reg2 instruction but instead make it from "add r0,reg1,reg2" (or OR, or EOR r0 with reg1 into reg2). I guess one could synthesize a 2-complement NEG instruction by just SUB'ing the positive value from r0 and so on.

For advanced implementations, the r0 can also be used without considering register dependencies since it discards all writes and always read 0, so your "xor r0,r0" would possibly stall a long pipeline if the preceding instruction depended on the old value of r0 in a calculation before clearing it with xor.

Lastly, I guess one has to see it in the light of its day, loading registers with 0 was and probably is rather common at loop starts and so on, so it was deemed useful, just like some FPUs have instructions to read constants like PI, e and ln(2) just because it seems to be a good thing to waste a certain amount of transistors on if it is commonly used.
I think it's hard to take anyone seriously when claiming that they have a new model that will revolutionize the foundations of particle physics, molecular biology, metamathematics, economics, evolutionary biology, complexity theory, and others. Of course it's possible, but the magnitude of the claims about vastly disparate fields feels more like someone who only has a bird's-eye view and sees shallow similarities.

Importantly though, neither I nor anyone commenting on Wolfram's plans and thoughts are engaging in mathematics or physics. If anything, the arguments around are mostly to do with the philosophy or sociology of science - looking at how discoveries have usually worked throughout history and comparing that to Wolframs work. To go into the math, you must have some belief that it is worthwhile to spend your time to do quite difficult work, and most arguments around here are about why his work currently doesn't seem to pass that mark. EDIT: to put a number on how difficult engaging with the actual maths and physics would be, according to the article, the Wolfram Research Project has currently published 700 pages worth of discoveries.

To be honest about my own feelings, when I see him claiming his new model will explain what mathematics is - it makes me think he's only a few years away from claiming it explains the meaning of life and why there is something instead of nothing. Perhaps even squaring the circle and computing the number of angels that fit on the head of a pin...
> I think we just have to accept that that's how websites are built now. It drove me nuts for a while, too.

I don't think we should simply accept that's how things are done now.

> I started talking to a junior developer the other day about server side rendering in the days of Rails/PHP/etc. and he looked at me like I was crazy.

A web developer like the one you mention that can't even conceive of server side rendering makes them a bad web developer. That lack of core understanding means they have no idea how a web browser works and only view the world through JavaScript. They have no concept of progressive enhancement.

So this means they'll likely spend the next five years poorly implementing features a web browser already has. They're going to make websites, er "apps", that won't work properly in micro browsers. Hyperlinks won't work or will be flakey enough to might as well not work. And best of all their stuff won't work on entry level devices that are extremely popular.

> But modern JS engines are blindingly fast, and 2-3mb of JS download (that will be cached aggressively) is a non-issue for the vast majority of users.

You say this but it's not the common case. A lot of people have shitty devices because they're cheap. Whether they're entry level phones or shitty bullpen office systems people everywhere are stuck with them.

No matter how fast Chrome might execute some JITed inner loop is immaterial when the next line adds the DOM's billionth div pretending to be a button.

Thanks to cargo culting CI/CD there's little guarantee some app is going to reference the same JavaScript file on different days so the cached version will be tossed and yet another copy of Doom will be downloaded.

There are plenty of uses for JacaScript and cool web technologies. There's also lots of places where JavaScript is indispensable and enables awesome things. But requiring 3MB of JavaScript to read a static blog post is just poor craftsmanship. It's not even interesting as a project because you've signed the reader up to execute some unsolicited code to do who knows what. If you love JavaScript, render all your markdown with it on your device and just send me the static output. Don't make me download Doom and the markdown just to turn it into a few paragraphs of text I can't actually read. Web developers should respect their audience enough not to make them spend unnecessary resources to use their stuff.
Fast the startup is shutting down
Their argument is that height has increased as a result of the meaty and fatty diet. It's definitely a factor. If you look at height differences between South Koreans and North Koreans, for example, you will see the effect that nutrition can have on height.

South Korea's meat consumption per capita has also increased consistently since the Korean War.

I see O'Reilly Learning as a mirror image of what Spotify did for music and Netflix did for TV shows.

Some people assume it's just books, but they have live content, video courses, etc too.

It's the best purchase I make for my professional life every year. If they ever offered a lifetime tier, I'd likely buy it.

In the past few years, I've browsed thousands of technical books on the site; but when it comes to paper technical books in the same time period, I've probably bought maybe just ~25. Access is king.
It's dependent on the individual. I have no patience for medium level leetcode and no US working permit, therefore my odds of getting into FAANG is significantly lower than building a billion dollar startup.

But the path for both is well documented. Some people decide to hit the books long enough. Some people decide to do lots of user interviews and build 1000 prototypes. The documented paths will land you in an entry level position, which is what shocks a lot of people. You still have to put in the work over a few years. It's a matter of picking which kind of work you prefer to do over the next 10 years, after you get your foot in the door.

I think there's a selection bias towards tech jobs here, but if you hang around people who have successfully built businesses, there's a lot of common patterns there as well.
Yeah, that was my thinking as well. China was late to react (like ages) and then you could see that China could not contain it. If China can’t, few others who can.

What is still a shame is that no ventilation standards have been raised by law because of lobbying. It would make a lot of difference probably of what I read by experts.
I’ve had more downvotes sharing my opinions about cellular automata on HN than on any other topic, so I won’t make any here. Rather, I’d like to point out that I personally have not seen a single theory, not a single piece of a theory, known to be productive in explaining experimental data, recast with underlying cellular automata theory. If I am simply showing my ignorance, please enlighten me. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking.

This is my (new) personal blog (i.e. rants), notes, remarks, snippets, etc. It's doesn't (yet) hold too much content, mainly because publishing something requires time to polish the text, but I do keep adding to it...

Regarding the look-and-feel, I try to keep it as minimalist as possible, while also having some personal style; it even works in Netsurf. But, if one doesn't like that style, one can just use the `View -> Page Style -> No Style` option (at least in Firefox) and things should still look OK.

Also I've made sure that it looks acceptable even in console browsers such as `lynx`, `links`, `w3m`, etc.
I don't think it's fair to call it "misinformation" since that implies an intention to spread false or unchecked information.

To the best of their knowledge , at the time, that was what the evidence pointed to. Then, as more evidence surfaced they realized that those assumptions didn't hold (and that could change again in the future with new research).
> Typical practice is to find images whose inclusion causes high variation in final accuracy (under k-fold validation, aka removing/adding the image causes a big difference)

How do you identify these images? It sounds like I'd need to build small models to see the variance but I'm hoping that there's a more scientific way?

We heard about 'sars outbreak in china' around xmas of 2019, at the end of Jan I flew to the UK and at the airport literally every single Asian person wore a mask, and myself. I didn't see any non-asian person wearing a mask. Wore mask the whole flight, on the way home I had 2 elderly people on the plane tell me I was scaring them for wearing a mask.

I got back beginning Feb and went WFH while the rest of the office continued to stay at the office due to their boss not allowing WFH.

I'm thankful that my family and I were in Singapore for 2020/2021. Now we are in Taiwan.
It eliminates them if they're smaller than PIPE_BUF (IIRC, Beltalowda, dmoy, and stevenhuang are wrong about this), but the thing that prevents data races with regard to writes is running the application in Node, which is completely single-threaded.

As you can see, I have no overarching theory here; it just seems like a topic worth thinking about.

Pulling this quote in because I think it is important. The post is a signal amplification of something worth talking about. Not a call to tear down some institute of textbooks.

On the topic called out, though. I'm sympathetic. I recall in grade school a classmate missing the question "without air resistance, what happens to a piece of paper you throw out the window of a moving car?" To me, it was somewhat clear that the "without air resistence" part was important, but my classmate missed it. Others ridiculed them for missing the point, but the more interesting question, to me, was what caused something thrown out to fall behind the car, and how did that relate to the question? That is, on hearing the wrong answer, I was more interested on following up with "and why is that?" Not jumping to "stupid! That is air resistance!"

How do you pull this to interesting topics, though? Programming, in particular, is interesting in that moving to "first principals" is stupid hard for anything graphical. Unless you are wanting to build an engine, you are far more productive using an existing environment. And, basic environments are much harder to force people into today; compared to when the computer booted to a prompt and didn't really store anything for when it was turned off.

Then there is modelling and general ML. Turns out, simple models still dominate all but the most advanced engineering today. And there is no real reason to think that will change. Sure, with enough data, I think deep learning is borderline magic. Turns out, even places that have terabytes of data often have far less relevant data. I'm convinced there is a Nyquist/sampling relation out there for most data. But... I have no idea what that would be. So, we are stuck with simplistic housing price models for the time being. All the while, real estate is basically "whatever sold in the neighborhood recently is what you can expect."
Thanks, alberth!
You will find, I think, the gradient you allude to, to be inversely proportional to the level of physics that the reviewer has attained. Now this could have “political” implications: people with a lot invested in conventional physics might be hostile as a means of protecting that investment.

But I think not.
Why didn't a group like this emerged in software?

My opinion is that you obviously don't pay for free and/or open software with money but you do pay with the fatigue of bearing the creators ideological and personal whims. Software requires maintenance and support. It is not a do it once and do it perfectly. Also let's not forget about us the users who constantly attempt to dictate the path the software is heading.

If you can take away the criticism, maintenability and support commitment, you can create Bourbaki-esque softwares. Case in point - GNU utilities like cat, ls, sed etc.

I don’t think that’s true.

People are both extremely annoyed by the arrogance of the man and very cautious at criticizing the science he’s doing.

Since Shannon, a computational approach to fundamental physics has been appealing. But the way Wolframs maps his own obsession with cellular automata to anything is suspicious. The claims of breakthrough are also suspicious since I don’t think any if the claims have had a chance to be tested experimentally.
Leo, your comments save me a lot of typing on threads like this, and since I recently wrote[1] what beeandapenguin wrote above almost to a point (sans security), I feel obliged to expand a bit.

You are right about incompatibility being a major issue; Deno recognizes that as well, hence, they are working on a compatibility mode that allows using Node specific libraries in Deno[2].

> migrating to Deno is, charitably, likely a monumental task that nobody would ever undertake, even considering the upsides.

This is, of course, contingent on the architecture used: for code tightly coupled to frameworks/runtimes it is indeed a monumental task. I have two small to mid size SaaS apps happily running on Node.js, but I'm looking forward to replacing it with Deno solely for the streamlined DX. The apps follow DDD architecture, thus, framework specific stuff is decoupled into a service/adapter and changing it is a day's work. The major technical road-block for now is indeed incompatibility of third-party libraries/SDKs written for Node.js (google sdk, mongdbo driver, etc.).

Yeah, I was going to comment the same thing. There should be little difference between the taste from LDPE lining in paper cartons vs. HDPE plastic containers.
Cows treated with rBST are probably not producing milk that is distinguishable from untreated milk but I oppose it for two reasons.

1. The cattle have visibly lower welfare. They carry heavier bags, they have more frequent infections.

2. The farmers are already in a situation of low bulk milk price and high cost. Margins in dairy farming are frequently negative. This increases cost to try to produce more output per cow, which is a beggar-thy-neighbor approach. If everyone does it, milk prices go down even further.

I don't know enough about ractopamine to have an opinion.

I will agree that Fox News sucks, but leave Taco Bell alone. Even I can see that both of the above are products and corporate apparatus that creates the products. The parent company of Taco Bell is also the owner of a bunch of other fast food brands, so it just feels strange to call them out specifically.

That said, it’s practically the only vegan/vegetarian restaurant option available in large parts of USA. And people can eat what they like.
