I'm sorry, but this reads like something a first–year student in English literature, critical theory, and whatnot—would write. It lacks density, does not introduce new language, and frankly, I'm not sure how this is supposed to add anything to our understanding of the subject... The text seems to criticise the surrounding discourse, and attributes much of it to right–wing political ideology and some sense of exploitation, but fails to engage this point further—in any capacity. Moreover, the text exhibits quite a bit of political signalling in its own right; plenty of externality talk and not much beyond that. Well, yeah, "externality" is a cool word, but it's not hard to see that it doesn't add anything, unless further critique manages to display contradictory economic, social, or political conditions—arising from such externalities.

It almost seems like you can stamp "postmodern" in front of any modern concept, bring it to the context of some pseudo–Marxist frame of thinking, and there you go, seemingly you've done analysis.
Yep. I use STACK by https://transip.nl/, which is just a hard drive hosted by someone else that I access via WebDAV or SFTP.

Bitcoin is a distributed feat currency with a proven limited supply (20M coins max) and slow and expensive transactions. At present, bitcoin cannot be coopted by any central bank and cannot be inflated by a "printing press". These two facts make it attractive to people willing to park their conventional feat currencies that are being debased by actions of governments and central banks. People do not realize how much worthless money in the world are chasing limited investment or speculative opportunities. Bitcoin seems to be as good or better than anything else.
I’m going to come back to this because I think it’s an important point that you’re missing from the article. I mentioned 4 attributes of an investment strategy (each of which we could dig into in incredible detail). You’ve taken 1 and gone “well if we squint at it you do that in a ponzu scheme too”. Which is exactly the point the article is making - if you decide to completely ignore the facts that distinguish these things then yes, yes they are exactly the same. It reminds me of the Reddit debate about whether a hot pocket is a ravioli or a sandwich - it’s a fun mental game to abstract away definitions until you get unexpected results, but it’s also kind of stupid.
“It’s a money network,” Winklevoss said. “What happens when you put an economic incentive around that network? That’s possibly the most effective network in the world.”

How in the world can you call Bitcoin a "money network"? Unless I'm missing something obvious there's no more network effect to it than to any other popular currency or security.
Was hoping someone would reply and convince me I was wrong rather than agree :-/

“Value” in quotes because it isn’t, as you said.

Regarding inflation: I think house price rises have been stoked by the stamp duty trick once again, but agree that there may also be a bit of inflation mixed in.

The reason we’re not seeing general inflation yet is the extra money supply has yet to leave bank accounts and move through the consumer economy. After things open up, we should see that money being spent and a short term boom, then as demand rises prices will respond and we’ll see inflation. At least according to Keynes, who in retrospect just seems to be more and more correct.

Wages won’t rise at the same pace because employers will exploit inflation, the trade unions are weak, and the govt doesn’t care - 120K dead and the Tories are seven points ahead, reality doesn’t matter in U.K. politics.
Having "create many", "update many", and "delete many" is three additional operations. Profusion may not be the word I'd use. Also, I will say they are very commonly requested operations, and they've lead to POST becoming overloaded in meaning.
>The people who claim a right not to be offended are engaging in “discussion” only to redefine the limits of what’s allowed to be discussed.

I've gotta say, this sounds real similar to the "very fine people on both sides" type logic that tries to equate antifa to white supremacists.
Oh of course, I'm just saying that particular argument of quality doesn't seem unique to online sales.
Cross-linguistic understanding has grown by leaps and bounds over the last two years. Classification tasks that topped out at 60% accuracy in 2017 are pushing 80s today.

That in part is why I don’t buy any of the “AI winter” chatter. We’ve previously never had machines powerful enough to run most useful ML nor enough data to train effectively. Today, as in right now, we have both. Things that were neat theories in the 90s are profitable businesses today.

Nobody in the ML field thinks strong AI is around the corner, or even 10-20 years from now. But that misses the point entirely. ML is useable and useful right now, and that’s not going to revert, no matter how many programmers grumble about “AI hype.”
I love that you sent them Rokus. Most companies would just tell them they are out of luck and to go buy something.

My old Panasonic TV has a handful of apps left (it's got like three home screens for apps, and like four still even exist). Thankfully Vudu, my app of choice, still works. As does Netflix and I believe Amazon Prime.

Smith Chart is both a visualization tool (as a chart) and a calculation tool (as a nomogram), you can use a printed Smith Chart to do RF-related calculations (impedance matching, return loss, etc) with a ruler and compass on a graph paper, pretty much like using a slide rule to calculate logarithm and trigonometry. I think it's why the OP compared it to a punch card.

It's true that today it's rarely used as a calculation tool, but it's still useful as a visualization. I don't think it's obsolete like punch cards.
I fear the goalposts have moved from "the problem with OOP" to "the problem with mutability". These are distinct concepts. The fundamental premise of OOP is, among other things, the encapsulation of behavior _with_ data (as opposed to _around_ data). It has nothing to do with mutability. One can absolutely practice OOP with immutability (looking at Scala here). Similarly, OOP doesn't need to be written imperatively. Are you suggesting `sorted_people = people.sort()` isn't OOP?

You are building your own concept of OOP to argue against, not the one that exists in reality. (straw-man emoji)
Yea he just gave them a ton of proof that he did do it....
I remember some discussion here about databases with a link to CMU's Advanced Database Systems materials. This one perhaps:

https://15721.courses.cs.cmu.edu/spring2017/schedule.html#wa...

It has this warning:

---

The material presented in this lecture uses explicit language and discusses certain situations in database management systems that may be triggering to some students

---

After browsing some of the literature there, I honestly couldn't decide, and still can't, if it was meant as a joke or they are being serious. The joke being something like "this database that doesn't actually run fsync to write to disk before returning a successful result" or they are genuinely concerned about students' well-being.

But assuming they are serious, which I hope they are, what can students do there? Do they have a choice to avoid reading the work. Then if CS requires trigger warnings, how is history. It would just be full of brutality, abuse and awfulness.

It is not engineers who are undercutting each other. It is the staffing companies, who I call as pimps. They are doing much damage to the contract rates. There is another thing going on: kickbacks to managers from staffing companies.
> Even then, however, it's not that hard to find an overlap

0900 my time is 2400 west coast time. No overlap there. 1700 here is 0800 west coast time. Granted, I don't leave that early from work, but not all programmers are "in the office by 9" people either. There's not a lot of overlap.

I don't doubt it's possible, and even the best solution for some people in some situations. But not for everyone.
Please put them online. Please. Please. Pretty please.
Excellent question, especially since the code is copy-pasted without crediting the original authors. Could it be that they’re trying to minimize the role of Docker as much as possible even when re-using their code?
Not that different in the US though...
Author here — this is actually not a bug, but a deliberate design decision (so long as you meant, when the editor closes). I’m sorry for the confusion.

git peek is not a faster alternative to git clone. It’s for quickly reading other people’s code without needing to keep it around for writing or updating.

That being said, I could make it not delete the code after the editor closes and keep it somewhere. It just won’t have access to the git tree and other things you’d expect.

I could add a flag like —keep that doesn’t delete it and let’s you pass a place to put it.
> It's not a problem in the Windows world that drivers are not open source

Yes it is. Let alone the inability to study the source code and other goodness of open source, there are old drivers that are not maintained anymore and that can't run on newer versions of Windows, where hardware that is not maintained anymore by the manufacturer still works on Linux because the open source driver can still be adapted to run on newer versions.
Sure, but why not use a stablecoin cryptocurrency?

Why do we need to invent an all-new alternative currency and asset class just to use these technologies? Why do I have to invest in 1 of 1000s of altcoins just to arbitrary change numbers in a shared ledger?
You can buy a car with a full self driving package but they don’t imply they sell full self driving. That’s some mental gymnastics, even if they say it’s for future delivery. After all cars have a limited life span, what good is the package if it isn’t delivered within the life of the car?
Do you typically just copy/paste the same comment on every Bitcoin article rather than think of nuanced commentary? Are you a part of ArcticBull's astroturfing campaign?

Edit: I see that you've copy/pasted it once but some other commentary on Bitcoin seems mostly genuine.
I'm still living with the former admin of Puzzlebox, an aggressively weird sci-fi social/RP MUCK. Ending up on there definitely shaped my life.
Personally I prefer the Z80 --- it has the advantage of many more registers, addressing modes more suited to HLLs, and a stack that is not limited to a fixed 256-byte portion of the address space. Of course it also needs more than twice the number of transistors and thus die area, which may be why the 6502 is still so widespread.
Volatility has consistently gone down over the years, not up.
I have two degrees in electrical engineering and feel the same way.
Agreed, I only mean to say that the intrinsic value (i.e. for jewellery or electronics) is exaggerated. Gold has obvious usefulness as a store of value and an inflation hedge, although I think Bitcoin or a similar technology has the potential to be even better/more guaranteed/more convenient.
There was advocacy and pressure to adopt pyca/cryptography in other popular python packages. Don't roll your own crypto, don't use old unmaintained crypto libraries (pycrypto ... but these days there's pycryptodome) etc. If pyca/cryptography was instead advertised as "python crypto library for rust lovers" and other python developers knew that a _gigantic_ and _obnoxious_ rust toolchain dependency was involved, I think many would have avoided cryptography, or made it optional. This was a bait-and-switch.

This is obnoxious for people who want to start with a tiny standard distro image with just a C toolchain, and build their app and all dependencies from source. It is also obnoxious for distros that want to build all packages from source. rust depends on llvm, itself a huge complicated finicky package ... but not just that, it depends on a custom-patched llvm! ...but not just that, it also depends on an extremely recent version of rust! this problem is recursive! And there are many other niche cases ... and "niche cases" of "unauthorized" porting/modification/substitution is how much of the open source ecosystem we love got its start.

This is really about issues of paranoia and control in the "security" realm. They consider it irresponsible to enable users to do anything they can't guarantee "safe". "Your organization should be paying for a $$$ corporate support contract if you want to do anything we don't officialy support." Maybe you could have fixed a portability bug in some python or C code (I've fixed a couple when bringing up a little-endian mips64 system a decade ago), but no you'll need rust+llvm experts to port that whole crazy toolchain. It's for your own good.
I agree that you shouldn't have to. But in the world of multinational business, navigating some of the bureaucracy is really a consumer literacy skill. You can easily find yourselves in the same customer-service traps at almost any large company if you misdirect a request. There is no doubt this is not ideal -- but it is nonetheless a nuance of the status quo. Honestly, I think Apple is better about this than their peers.

> and not being able to get much stronger with training

Actually, the problem is the opposite. Their muscles get too strong too quickly and then they blow a pulley because their tendons aren't strong enough for the forces that their muscles are easily capable of producing. This happens in adults too, but AFAICT it's more common in kids and adolescents (but perhaps that's because most adults who get into the sport later don't ever climb as hard). Growth plate injuries are less common but devastating.

Avoiding these sorts of injuries is probably the biggest reason why training or a team is worth the $.
I go through about one a year. It sucks. We have school-issued MacBooks at my school, and my charger caught on fire. Tech guy would't replace it until it did, even though I was holding it together with tape. Didn't hurt the computer, surprisingly.
Misses the point. I read a lot of these and tried the alternatives, and I can say that the alternatives require more mental energy to use and don't save appreciable time, so I won't use them. I've only got so much RAM, and the GUI makes information extremely easy to digest. People say "STOP using Twitter, use IRC" but those people also miss the point.
I'm not really sure what you're trying to say, that if you control for covid-19, the effect of covid-19 goes away? Duh

What you want to control for is the lockdown effects or general disease stress, not covid-19 itself. That's what you're trying to measure.
It's funny how many people here suddenly want to control the means of production when the boss wants to ban Nazis or pedos instead of unions.

(If you think I'm exaggerating, Twitch has had a huge run of prominent streamers outed for raping minors, grooming, and the like, and much of the terrible behavior has happened via Discord. Which will be why Twitch are keen to make it clear that you can't say "oh I was grooming on Discord, none of your business.)
There is - of course - rules around this. Certain qualities like race and sex are protected classes against which you cannot discriminate. To your example - a nightclub very well might discriminate against someone with blue hair.

The redemption of sinful people via blood sacrifice is the single strongest theme in the entire Christian canon (the Bible).

I have Network Link Conditioner installed on my Yosemite Mac OS X box and it works fine (though it was installed prior to the Yose upgrade).

I learned about it here: http://nshipster.com/network-link-conditioner/
here's a write up of the methodology used to compile the list.

http://aerotwist.com/blog/css-triggers/
The performance benefits comes from the "Systems", which is very infrequently talked about. Most uses of the term "ECS" are actually "Entity-Component" (EC), which has been around for a long, long time.

The goal is to have "Systems" which operate on "Components", and "Entities" are completely out of the picture. The idea behind Systems is that they operate on a continuous block of memory:

for (auto &damagable : damagables) {
damagable.hp -= damagable.damage_this_frame;
damagable.damage_this_frame = 0;
if (damagable.hp <= 0)
damagable.dead = true;
}

for (auto &movable : movables) {
movable.position += movable.velocity_this_frame;
movable.velocity_this_frame = vec3(0);
}

Simple toy example, but by splitting up the data based on what acts on them, we have two loops that are very cache-friendly. Each of those two loops is called a "System".

The System is the key part of ECS that makes this work. Just splitting off components and still using a virtual update function isn't going to get you any performance benefits, but it's still most of what I see when I see "ECS" talked about online. In fact, making components contiguous while leaving your updates to be whole-entity-at-a-time is going to make your cache coherency worse!

Entities, then, are actually not "container objects", but often just uint32's -- all of their data is inside the Components. The database analogy: The Entity is just a primary key tying together a database of tables (Components). The tables can be acted on, sometimes in parallel, by Systems (UPDATE queries), regardless of the originating Entity.

Actual Systems in practice have dependency chains and other things, to make sure that updates are done in the right order, scheduling mechanisms, and ways to make cross-component talking safe, and performant.

Unity's GameObject is not ECS, despite it being an "Entity-Component" model. Their new DOTS stack is, but it has tradeoffs for that performance.

Put simply, "EC" is a way of structuring your data classes to not rely on inheritance, "ECS" is a way of structuring your algorithms that act on those data classes to not require virtual methods.

The rest of this thread has similar misconceptions, and even the original post makes some errors too. Sadly, this misinformation is widespread, and it's not really correctable at this point. Oh well.

This is more about looking at the ability of our systems to change their response in emergencies; why are obvious things so hard to do, when they both fully make sense, and are supported by an interested group of experts, against a larger but less interested group of conventional, rule-following experts?

Wow I’m honored. I’ll follow the issue.
I agree. I once worked for a company that wrote a blog post on reinventing and upgrading A/B tests, but the ugly truth was that the company couldn’t run an A/B test to save its life. Every A/B test was a disaster, there were fragmented different frameworks for A/B tests in different parts of the product, with inconsistent and unreliable data, and the core clickstream ingestion system that was the foundation for any possible way of testing would crash and go down for hours every few weeks, and product management would just silently ignore any effects of missing data or correlation between failures in different product features. Even though we had a team of statistical researchers, they were treated as if legit stats 101 concerns were just ivory tower academic hair splitting and often were silently omitted from being in A/B test design, recap or decision meetings, which were instead run by product managers with no stats training.

I remember interviewing a candidate once who said he was excited about the role because of that A/B testing blog post, and I just thought - geez what a completely soulless bait and switch ploy.
> So Berkshire now owns about 10% of Apple, if I buy a $1,000 Macbook $100 of that money goes to Berkshire

No, BRK would (eventually) receive 10% of net income, not revenue.

> Is it good for customers that Macbooks are 11% more expensive than they should be?

Would it be better for consumers if the price was cheaper? Well, yes....but the fact that customers are willingly paying for Macbooks implies that they are receiving more value from the product than the cash they pay. Not sure what point you're trying to make.
