> Snowman in English is counted as a word, for instance.

Note that for linguists, the definition of “word” is so slippery as to not have much use. It boils down to “because it’s written that way,” and even that is a stretch, because this definition is different for other languages. And of course, not every language is written.

To use your Chinese / Mandarin example, Mandarin does something very similar to Toki Pona in terms of inventing new phrases to describe more complex concepts (here I avoid using “words” in this context because it’s not a useful concept for our use): chéngyǔ are four character idiom phrases that are not words, but references to much longer cultural stories. They have a distinct meaning, but they are not considered words.

The loudness information is derived from the file in the first place, so a smart enough player can re-derive it and normalize audio on the fly. My player (mpv) does this by calling out to libav. It can handle both live audio and prerecorded audio, using different algorithms for each case. This functionality can be enabled with config flag `af="acompressor=ratio=4,loudnorm"`. I will admit that I copied these options from examples without really knowing what they do or how they do it, but they make things much more pleasant.

It's disgraceful that even major movie studios often do such a bad job with audio mixing that I indiscriminately run everything through a filter. This is not a problem with the files I'm using; I find the same thing in the theater. C'est la vie.
It's kind of amazing to realize how plate tectonics, which is absolutely foundational to our understanding of geology, is just a bit more than half a century old, and the person who was at the forefront of it just died.

The pace of scientific discovery in the 20th century was just astounding.

Overall I like posts like these, as they are a reminder that you're not really paid for agonizing over eloquent or great code, but just code that "gets the job done". But then if you over-index on this viewpoint, you'll end up needing posts which remind you that this is a craft and that code needs some agonizing over.

What I've been pondering lately is another way to sum this up that is more future focused: Let's say a genie walks into your project and says that you can have 1.5 times the features you have right now, for 3x the code. The genie promises that the code will be "alright, maybe just kind of a bit bad". I think around 2/3 of developers would say no, but I suspect 2/3 of people in product management, sales, marketing, etc would say yes. Everyone would be sympathetic to the problems this would create, but the allure of getting 1.5X ahead on your roadmap is probably too hard to ignore for those other disciplines. It's basically accelerating all your other work streams by 1.5, at the expense of potentially bogging down dev. Obviously, countless caveats exist, but it does in general feel right, and feels like it hints at the fundamental causes of tension between business and development.

Every parent thinks their kid is some kind of genius. It's a universal instinct that makes kids get more praise then they actually deserve.

Run with it. If nature makes you feel that way then "more praise then she actually deserves" is a valid method. Maybe she actually deserves it, but most likely she is average and you're just playing out what every average parent feels.

From the article:

Increased altitude has recently been shown to have a protective association with certain medical illnesses, with apparent decreases in mortality among patients with end-stage renal disease receiving dialysis (Winkelmayer et al., 2009), coronary artery disease (Baibas et al., 2005; Faeh et al., 2009), and stroke (Faeh et al., 2009). By contrast, increased altitude may enhance psychiatric disorders, such as panic attacks (Roth et al., 2002).

AND

Controlling for... population density of each county
> This retrospective study examines 20 yr of county-specific mortality data from 1979 to 1998.

I've only read the abstract (so I don't know if my question is answered somewhere in the full report), but does anyone have any insight about why newer data wasn't included in this study?
I recall seeing this article from 2014 referring to suicides in Utah ('utah paradox') and how neuroscientist Perry Renshaw was trying to link it to altitude: http://mic.com/articles/104096/there-s-a-suicide-epidemic-in... which links to another study from 2011: http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/abs/10.1176/appi.ajp.201...

"Together, the stray statistics and stories about life out west tipped off Renshaw to a common culprit: altitude-induced oxygen depletion. [...] Renshaw believes that oxygen-poor air tampers with brain chemistry, leading to a drop in serotonin and an uptick in dopamine."
The only one that makes sense to me is the "suggestion", to clearly indicate that it is OK if the code is not changed or that the change is not that important.

For the rest, isn't it obvious when an question is a question or a hint is hint? If you understand English then the meaning of each comment should be clear.
> I find it rather weird how little authoritative documentation there is about whether or not this property holds given how important it is.

Well, it can't be that important then, can it? :)
From the abstract:

> Controlling for percent of age >50 yr, percent male, percent white, median household income, and population density of each county, the higher-altitude counties had significantly higher suicide rates than the lower-altitude counties. Similar findings were observed for both firearm-related suicides (59% of suicides) and nonfirearm-related suicides.

So (median) income has been considered, in case anyone is wondering.

There once was a tribe that had no idea that the sky is blue. People from afar who were more technologically and scientifically advanced tried to explain that the sky is blue, but the tribe members had no conception of this or capacity to really understand what it means for the sky to be blue. They had never considered what color the sky is.

That is because in their language, they had no words to describe the concept of the sky having a color. So they didn't even comprehend or notice that the sky was blue.

Be careful with any trend to publicize or normalize a smaller language that can be shared with everyone. It's a trap. It's a trap so that people lose sight and memory of things that exist. Who wants you to forget what exists, and why? Who wants to take away words and what words are those?

> Java and C# has already been doing multi-threaded web servers for about a decade.

Node was single-threaded async, not multi-threaded. The entire point was to not spin up multiple threads and to rely on the event loop instead.

> Oh, and C# already had support for async programming too! Node become popular in part because Silicon Valley just doesn't seem to be aware of anything that exists outside it.

> And I understand serverside devs from other languages can at this point jump in and say that it's not, that the single-threaded model is possible in other languages, that there are downsides to the single-threaded model, that Node doesn't do it well, whatever. I'm not arguing the point, I'm just describing the cultural shift I saw.

Right or wrong, you can go back and look at forum posts even only 6, 7 years ago and you'll see people asking about single-threaded performance and asking how Node manages to scale if it's single-threaded. A lot of developers at that time got introduced to single-threaded event-based asynchronous server programming through Node.

I'm not telling you that Node should have won, I'm telling you one of the reasons why it happened to win. Here's Dahl's original slides presenting Node in 2009: https://s3.amazonaws.com/four.livejournal/20091117/jsconf.pd...

Immediately the first thing he's talking about is not unity between the front-end and backend language or sharing code. It's "I/O needs to be done differently." That's what people were talking about back then.
Did they do a study in Colombia or Mexico?
Maybe those are the main/popular groupings. Where I fall is that I want typesafe constructions of queries that match the current schema. The query compositions should follow the SQL-style structure so there's no 'shape-mismatch' composing the query using the library. Some may not consider this to be an ORM (though it does map relations to objects).
42, 2013-2016, but it should have been basically the same assignment. Clearly one of the most complete assignments. And more fun than rewriting a posix shell. I think the raytracer was my favorite.
Yes, essentially it is a random walk (i.e. Monte Carlo method, suitable for use in MCMC).

The general principle/innovation is to use power-law or similarly heavy-tailed distributions for step lengths as opposed to constant, Gaussian, etc. step lengths for the purpose of exiting local minima.
No ISP would hesitate for a second to call out Apple on this kind of BS.

But would a Nomad it in your pocket? I have never seen a Nomad IRL, the pictures on wikipedia make it look like the size of a CD player, not something that would fit in my pocket.

In any case it's much more complex than "many people = no one feels alone"

Also if you compare the "suicide by county" and "distance to nearest metro area" map there is a very nice overlap:

Yes of course, sorry my write-up was confusing: I meant that "adding a ReLU between the two linear layers" (the second option) would result in more parameters than "directly removing the second linear layer" (the first option). And my message just meant "I don't know which of the two options achieves the best trade-off between speed and quality". I didn't consider the option "leave it as it is in the blog post" because it is essentially equivalent to the first option (removing the linear layer) but slower (as you say, with exactly the same number of parameters as the second option), so it definitely shouldn't be a "best" option.
When you do steal them back, let us know, because some of those artifacts the Europeans stole from you actually belong to my tribe, which your tribe stole from us. Just waiting for you to steal them back from the Euros so we can steal them back from you, lol.

P.S. some of the artifacts you stole from us originally belonged to one of our neighbor tribes, who we stole them from, but as far as I'm concerned they should be ours. Let's just keep that between you and me though! Lol.

I don't want to come of as flippant, but I'm genuinely curious: Is there a correlation to how many stories the person's residence has as well? If they live on a 3rd story of an apartment, is there a higher suicide rate than the first floor of an apartment?
ME: Current resident of Asheville NC (elevation 2,134′). current mood: depressed/agitated. suicide risk: low/medium-low.
That’s the current system, minus a public apology.

Plenty of networks that use PPPoE over base network technology to connect to a "virtual" ISP implement at least mini jumbo frames. If you can set the MTU of the hardware to 1508 then the PPPoE connection runs at 1500.
I met someone who says he helped develop TCAS, and that it decides which one to climb or descend based on the registration number.

I'm guessing that it does not issue turn instructions because it only gives a Resolution Advisory when a collision is imminent (otherwise they would be giving RAs all the time). At altitude, where the air is thinner, it is much easier for a plane to immediately climb or descend, planes turn very slowly when the air is thin.
I haven't had a look at Dart for a long time (last time to see if it could do Angular with less pain). IIRC the original chief developer left Google and the language took a rather different turn, towards more type(script)-iness.

Flutter looked pretty much like its own Electron, so not primarily interested in that.
> That has turned out to be much more impactful to my career than learning Rust.

Could it be that people assume you know rust if you write a book about rust?
I think it ends up being hybrid, like seen in CQRS and especially with DDD. Toss in "Vertical Slice Architecture" as well. What abstractions you want can decided on a per command or query basis and it feels natural.
There was a 20-year period of mild deflation during the Victorian Era: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Deflation

Broadly it was a time of sustained growth in both the United States and United Kingdom, despite the deflation which was driven by industrialization and productivity gains. However, certain industries did suffer as a result of the deflation, so it was neither an unvarnished good or bad economic period.
It's in quotes because that's the allegation made as probable cause for the warrant. So, the article is correct, but the allegation is preposterous and big reason that everyone is inferring the entire operation was retribution and abuse of power.
It wasn’t just that it physically fit in your pocket - it also worked in your pocket. I had pants at the time which I could fit a portable CD player in, but walking around without the music skipping required carefully holding it steady. The earlier non-flash mp3 players tended to have HDDs that similarly weren’t great with motion while in use.
Good to see a realistically sensible use of Fragments in the docs.

Too often I've seen codebases stuff fragments into a shared folder where they'd get re-used in different components, totally negating the benefit of GQL avoiding over/under-fetching to render UI.
I know, right!

How can they still sell you a product that doesn't use a little digital green man on a circuit board to cross his arms and demand you pay rent to use the hardware you legally bought and now (in theory only) own?

Those fools. Don't they see that there's rent to be extracted here? If you teach a man to fish, he might fish without paying you.

If you build a fishing pole that refuses to cast unless he inserts a quarter... fishing and paying you become inseparable! Genius!

I would take a complementary side to this bet, in that I think it's relevant that it's extremely, extremely extremely hard to improve upon ADAM (Adaptive Moment Estimation) in terms of FLOPS-till-convergence.

That this is so hard feels notable to me, like we're specifically misunderstanding something about the optimization process in higher dimensions.
Usually it is a seperate factor, at least as far as P/D-MEAs are concerned. Quick and dirty, sure, it can be included in severity. Personally, I prefer the increased transparency and granularity of having detectability as a different factor.
I like writing but I think the whole “write it and you’ll get it” doesn’t work for me.

It’s just extra effort. Writing is fun for the sake of writing. But I’ve not ever found it helpful for me to remember stuff or whatever.

Either the subject matter makes sense on first pass, or I just need to practice it like math or something a few times and it sticks.

Either you get it or you don’t. And write for fun.
Climate impacts on UK food imports
Posts like this painfully push me to finish setting up my blog where I'm going to mostly opine on and outline aviation incidents like this..

But I can disseminate at least two flying maxims you can take away from this tragedy:

1: Do what TCAS is telling you to do.

2: Air Traffic Control does NOT have the final responsibility for your plane, you do.

- The TCAS system had already resolved the safe and correct conflict avoidance maneuvers for both of the transceivers involved (on both aircraft).

- As amazing and professional as our air traffic controllers are (and they are), they to, just like you the pilot are prone to error, and they in fact are not inside your aircraft, nor are they the pilot in command.

I've seen especially in new pilots and people that want to learn to fly this urge to defer to ATC (I even asked a friend who's a huge Flight Simulator enthusiast, of which I was too when young, what he'd do in a purely technical flight situation, and he responded he'd "ask ATC what to do"...).

While yes, Air Traffic Control 'controls' certain air space, they don't control your aircraft or its occupants. FAR 91.3 says it all, I'll let you look it up, it's 2 very brief (thank you FAA/congress) sentences that spell out the end of this discussion. You might get a fine, you might lose your license, etc etc, if you're reasoning for having to deviate from ATC rules aren't sufficient..

But hey in this case would those pilots on those 2 planes in this incident have rather lost their licenses (potentially) or have what happened happen.

Of course this incident is nuanced, as they all are. Flying safely involves mitigating and accepting certain levels of risk. TCAS was a system specifically designed and implemented to resolve collision situations. You test your equipment at regular intervals and pre-flight so that you can be confident they are working properly so that when you get into a situation where TCAS is telling you to do something, you do it.

But the reality is stress, human behavior isms' like maybe say flying in from an eastern european country and wanting to not 'piss off' the Swiss controllers, so deferring to their every direction instead of following your own instruments. << That's a real thing .. when you fly into busy airspace in the US, you quickly realize you just 'don't want to piss anyone off' .. All of these factors influence what should have been a cut and dry collision avoidance dictated by the TCAS system. And this is the cost of human flight.
High altitude is also associated with longevity, reduced heart disease, and more efficient mitochondria.
Also altitude’s correlation with climate.
Survivor bias. It worked for you.

People apply for dozens of jobs, if they had to spend 10 hours on a take home project each, it would add up to hundreds of total hours working on pointless toy projects just for the chance to get a job. That's like working full time for a month or two. Not counting the time spent to get up to that point (finding open job listings, editing resume, submitting application, doing screening interviews, etc.)

Advocates often drag out the [large number]% of IPv6 in some case or another.

It is only thanks to "happy eyeball" algorithms in the browser which prefer v4 when v6 is broken or non-performant that mitigate end user complaints to the point that people can just kind of turn it on in some state of broken and forget about it.
