Correct.

Another problem languages like Ocaml and Haskell have is this: most programmers have a very predictable trajectory through increasingly more powerful languages: C++, then Java (garbage collection), then Python or Ruby (more abstraction and power), then Lisp, which has the aura of being the pinnacle of languages, one that removes all the accidental complexity and leaves programmers able to tackle the intrinsic complexity of the problem. Strong, static typing seems like a step backward-- some seatbelt that was thrown away at the Java-to-Python transition. It's not, and Hindley-Milner type inference ensures that the static typing doesn't even eat up much developer time, but the benefits of static typing don't appear until you work on a larger project where debugging and testing become major concerns. The difference between a 40% and an 80% debug/test overhead is enormous, but aren't going to show up on a 500-line project.

Strong static typing is an awesome tool that the language forces you to use. Lispers don't like being "forced" to do anything. However, on a project of sufficient size, the relatively minor drawbacks of static typing are more than paid off by the reduced test/debug overhead.
A friend of mine mentioned she had this problem with US domestic carriers - this was maybe 20 years ago!

She used "Miss" to say unmarried female. Her ticket was for unaccompanied minor.

According to METI[1] on summer 2019, there where 1.1*10^9 L of contaminated water with radiation of "≦a few hundred Bq/L". Assuming 200, we get 0.22 TBq of radiation in total.

In comparison, based on reports of US Nuclear regulatory Comission, US reactors in 2003 dumped more than 1.50 PBq of tritium[2].

To me, the "less then few hundred Bq/L" seems a bit low, but I could not find any other sources.

Edit:
This [3] reports that total tritium is about 860 TBq, so, apparently, I just don't understand correctly the "few hundred Bq/L" part. This would translate to 716667 Bq/L or ~ 12 times the Japans drinkable water limit.

One thing to realize is that UTF-8 is here and required only because we're all stuck with limitations based on the low-power, low-limitations of early systems.

There is not a single reason, other than historical, backward compatibility and the overall ecosystem putting incommensurate pressure on all future systems, why the basic memory unit is 8 bits.

We're stuck on 8 bits because all API, OS and specifications assume the basic units is 8 bits. If computer memory had evolved faster, or computer usage spread slower, the basic unit could have been 32 bits, or even 64 bits.

Think how much easier things would be. UTF could be encoded as a single unit, without ambiguous order.

What we've lost due to byte and UTF-8 is for example the text editor as the universal editor. Due to the need of UTF-8 decoding, we're no longer able to open a any (possibly binary) file as text and save it reliably after editing one character.

There are other consequences, for example at the file-system level for file names, corruption, how to handle invalid UTF-8 sequences, etc.

(And before you talk about the byte order problem, that is the point: there is no order problem for the basic unit you choose. No one (outside of some low-level 1-bit serial interfaces) cars about bit order or nibble order of bytes. Because the bit order is hidden within all interface accepting byte as the unit.)

Yeah the whole "mapping of brain region to concept" feels very over-simplistic so it's hard to know what to make of it.
Well obviously. I mean unless you literally copy every page of all those authors, you are going to be picking and choosing sections, the action of picking one sentence and not another is creative.
Came here to comment on that - it may not be your responsibility to look at the author's ads, but its the author's responsibility to help you read what he wants you to read.
Yes, I totally agree with you. That's what I meant with "that's not quite what you're looking for". I just hope someone who searches for "vps site:ycombinator.com" finds this...
I can see the future: TVs will come with a Safari Reader-like "Watchability" option that wipes out background images and noise and flattens out imperfections in faces and bodies.
From my limited observations there seems to be a culture of work sharing among foreign students. Some of it can probably be put down to lesser English language skills, they feel a lot safer following anothers lead rather than attempting to write something themselves from scratch.
Thats why they made the Shinkansen :)

The AliExpress listings could very well be for the scammers themselves. One company makes the similar-looking bag that's intended to be used in the scams. Another company actually dropships said bags for orders from their scam websites.
This is a common requirement for security-conscious organizations, especially those with HIPAA or PCI requirements. For shopify, this likely was originally created as a customer requirement, so that clients could monitor their staff. The typical setup is to generate internal user logs and feed it into a SIEM of some type, potentially with custom rules to do some checking. Alternatively, this may very well have been caught by a type of DLP (data loss protection) or network monitoring product
My perspective is valid, you've done nothing to prove it's not - other than putting your own "much simpler explanation;" where you're also making assumptions. Hope you enjoyed the thought exercise writing out your reply.

It's interesting how I can reference, with no personal opinion attached to it, a factual, recent situation that's comparable to the thread - about a well-known person who happens to be a politician - happens to be a politician, and as you said, because you're exhausted of hearing about them, you'd prefer they be censored/avoided in conversation. It's interesting to say the least.

P.S. Triggered is a valid word, I used it in the correct context - and you were in fact triggered by using it and are trying to gate keep its use.
Static typing inherently requires you to prove things about your program, but there are many contexts where you don't fully know the properties you'd like to prove, or the type system isn't sufficiently powerful to express the properties that are actually interesting. In these contexts (live coding, prototyping, quick throwaway scripts, etc...) static typing can be more of a hindrance than an asset.

However, once you pivot into needing maintainable software with more guarantees about correctness, static typing becomes extremely important.

The problem for python is that it originated as a language for less-formal programs but cultural and labor-market forces resulted in those programs getting shipped as production software. It's not so elegant when it's being bolted on, and there's a large subset of python developers today who genuinely don't need it.
That’s all well and good but you should really make sure to disable any kind of TLS on these connections so the security team can monitor for breaches. Any ops team worth its salt will make sure to secure all endpoints by physical device address and remove single points of access like gateways to widen the attack surface and ensure attackers can’t focus on one location. Store any critical data in a basic S3 bucket and remove any firewalls on production databases so that anyone on the team can fix a problem or restore a backup if needed. And you should really disable most logging, it’s a performance bottleneck and can tell attackers what’s happening in the system.

I’ll type these notes up in a PowerPoint and we can deliver a presentation to key stakeholders.
iCloud Photo Library is similar but no compression hijinx - it's always original quality in the cloud and you can choose to store only "high quality" locally on your device to save device space (hilariously, the opposite of Google). You pay for the storage (but you can't get more than 2TB for love nor money).
I think you're missing what the concern is. You're talking about a generic increase in prices due to scarcity.

What they're talking about is a system that identifies that people getting a taxi to the hospital may have no/few other choices and you can just charge them more, regardless of how how many drivers are available.
>That’s because perspective is a lie. If I know a pond is round then why should I draw it oval? I will draw it round because round is true. Why should my brush lie to you just because my eye lies to me?

I was looking at the Caldera micro chat example, but noticed that the local state does not update the shared state until after the form send? Why not during the onChange() event? I am assuming the number of requests would be too high for the simple json file io?

Or am I thinking of this incorrectly? This is the first time I've investigated a solution of this type.
No, the next big milestone is embedding the format style as the syntax of the language. I'm curious as to why Go didn't even do this (they should have, in my opinion, but wimped out and left it to an external tool).
Idk, does the browser do screen sharing now? It didn't last time I used it but I haven't for a minute so I'm not sure if they fixed that.

We don't need moonshots to solve the car pandemic. Strong Towns and others have shown that we already have plenty of common-sense, effective tools that we've simply chosen not to roll out on a wider basis.

There was a discussion on HN a few days ago about Star Citizen, and I'm realizing that Tesla FSD and Star Citizen have a lot in common. Both were promised to be delivered years ago, beta testers keep showing each to be quite buggy, there is reason to believe it may not even be technically possible to deliver everything that was promised, and they both have their fanboys who are ready to defend it and accuse skeptics of being haters who just want to see it fail.
You were so close to getting there - he is a rationalist and, purely my personal opinion, the markets have been behaving irrationally for several years (I would say even the Trump years of fiscal manipulation to pump the markets).

Where I think you're off base is that, while markets can stay irrational for extended periods of years (and have before), eventually people realize the emperor has no clothes and there's always a reckoning at some point.
Sorry, in this case you are mistaken - the sensors in San Francisco will not be used for meter-zeroing. In fact, they can't be used for meter-zeroing - while they are fairly accurate, they are not accurate enough for this feature. Imagine if the meter was zeroed before you'd actually left!
Why should parking cost a whole lot more in the future? This system is being managed with the goal of ~85% occupancy - if there is less than that, prices will be lowered, eventually to $0, to seek optimal occupancy at all times.

The only way that parking would, in general, cost a whole lot more in the future was if there was a whole lot more demand - and I'm not sure anyone is predicting that we are facing an imminent increase in the number of cars seeking to park in San Francisco.
Then the 15,000€ fines are a thing for breaking specific federal rules and I mixed things up.

Author here. Our main focus right now is on vibration and non-voice audio. For vibration we use spectral analysis through butterworth filters, FFT over the result, looking at the peaks and locations of the FFT result, and then at spectral power buckets. For audio we look at MFCC (sometimes paired with a bandpass filter). The source for these are in https://github.com/edgeimpulse/processing-blocks (Python) and https://github.com/edgeimpulse/inferencing-sdk-cpp (optimised C++). What’s though on our end is that we need to run the DSP in real-time on very constrained devices.

Unfortunately I have very little good resources on learning more. I’ve done lots of experimentation in Matlab, just getting raw sensor data and playing with the signal processing toolkit that they sell.

There might be if they could believe they were going back to work as usual -- meaning usual level of earnings -- any time soon. That's not at all clear. It's wishful thinking that this is a relaxing vacation for hourly service industry workers.

But it might not run unmodified under a new Java runtime, either. Codebases hacking into the JDK, using internal non-API classes, and making themselves tied to a specific version are common (even codebases that don't do that can become tied to a specific version or a range of versions, e.g. by generating or parsing bytecode). I hope they become less common when encapsulation is finally turned on in JDK 16, but even then applications can choose to selectively remove encapsulation -- for themselves and/or their dependencies -- use internals, and become tied to a specific version. Anyway, the JAR is still there, so you could try.
Almost as world beating as the death toll.
Do they really store bignums as base-(10^x) chunks instead of base-(2^x) chunks? That wastes quite a lot of memory, but for what reason? It makes printing it out slightly easier?

Going from memory here so I may be wrong, but rabies takes a while to travel along nerve pathways from the bite site to your brain, and that's why the vaccine has time to work.
You would only ever do this on code where performance matters. You ask yourself: if I made this twice as fast (or half as slow) would anyone know or care? If yes, then it's not premature, it's just garden-variety optimization.

But choosing the right bit of code to work on needs some investigation. The assumption here is that that has already happened.
Coal/steam power generation is old, old tech. China will be happy to build a coal plant in Nigeria and train up the operators.
Valid point, kind of hard to solve actually because at some point the server needs to know who are you talking to. Limiting it is the current target for proposed standards, but alas it is an open problem for now.
PS2 had hardware to decompress DVD quality video with very low cpu overhead. Rad's bink video compression (at the time of the PS2) was slower and more dvd bandwidth heavy, only reason to use it was if you didn't want a separate set of video files for your PS2 game sku.

On the PC Bink was a great choice for FMV as it had a really clean API and 'just worked'.
Even in Switzerland was a shooting some years ago (a man shot 15 people in the parlament of Zug). Things just can happen fast und just by surprise.

>Twitter, Facebook and Google need to be treated like utilities [...]

Our generation is reinventing the wheel here, our ancestors had exactly the same problems with the power, water, gas, telephone and rail networks (at some point in time, all those were unregulated and privately owned) and did exactly that. Critical infrastructure needs to be heavily, regulated if not outright publicly owned.
First, I'll say that I've contracted for a state's caucus at the capitol building in addition to at the homes of minor politicians. That's my frame of reference.

The real answer? It's nowhere near as bad in my opinion as the other implications of an insurrection. These systems are already poorly secured and also physically accessible by a number of other staff, so one more potential compromise is not changing much.

The WMF originals are included in Clipart.zip with the rest of Microsoft Clipart Extra. I made the SVG conversion thinking people may want to use the clipart on the Web and because more programs support SVG than WMF.

After trying several conversion tools I settled on https://github.com/hidekatsu-izuno/wmf2svg. It was the best in terms of quality (the backgrounds were properly transparent when they should be, for example) and targeted a vector format.
I see. On my screen, 1920x1080 would be far too large, but then the full blown 3840x2160 resolution would be absolutely tiny. I tried to approximate something that is similar to my MacBook Pro's retina screen. I guess it also comes down to what one is comfortable with. The beauty of the 4K screens is that no matter the resolution, the text is always crisp.

This goes back a long way. Obviously, Chess is a kind of wargame, but the Germans invented Kriegspiel specifically to simulate war well enough to train officers in strategy.

Of course, playing Kriegspiel is nothing like actually standing on the battlefield in the era of Bismark, but nevertheless, the generation of officers who were trained in the simulation were better prepared for their first battle than those who weren’t.
That is an absolutely delightful Mouse Hunt reference I wasn't expecting today.

I definitely believe that the wealth exists right now for everyone to do just fine without these months of productivity. If only it were distributed correctly.

But that's the problem: our economic system has to be a system, and arbitrary exceptions have to be... er... the exception, not the norm. What's hard (though not nearly as hard as certain politicians would tell you) is creating a system that allows for both proper creation and distribution of wealth, and works in all cases. The right-wing tends to write off the second objective as intractable (not always in good faith) and focuses on the first one. The left-wing tends to neglect the third objective (being systematic/working in all cases).

Think of it this way: it's easy to write a piece of code that does one exact thing. It's hard to create a system of code that does the right thing in all possible cases, including ones you haven't thought about.

All of that said: we have plenty of resources and ingenuity to solve this problem and build that system. We're just hampered by some incompetent actors and by other bad-faith actors who don't want it to exist because they benefit from the one that we have.
There's absolutely no way that fine will hold up in court.

They are both providing a model for performing concurrent work. Erlang is quite good at writing distributed applications, but not everyone is writing distributed applications. WebMachine and Mochi both address a similar set of problems someone would want to address with Node. To argue that the problems people want to solve in Erlang and Node do not overlap is amazingly unimaginative.
