Meh, to someone who actually speaks Japanese it's not so clear cut. The word for Japan is 日本, pronounced "nihon" or "nippon" but never "japan". But every Japanese person would know that for whatever reason "japan" is the word English speakers use to refer to their country. So to someone who speaks Japanese, "Japan University" and "Nihon University" are the same thing. They are both obviously referring to 日本大学. "Japan University" is only technically a wrong transliteration if you insist on an editorial policy of using an organization's official English name. However to someone who doesn't know Japanese, "Japan University" is a better translation because it reflects the actual connotation of 日本大学 a native speaker would recognize -- "University of Japan."
I was really excited to try this after the WWDC announcement. Apple was not joking about how easy the conversion is [1]. It took me 15 minutes and 1 command to port my extension [2], and I didn't even need to install Big Sur!

But when the Safari 14 GM release came around, I couldn't justify spending $100 per year just to get my extension on Safari. My goal is to test my product ideas. Chrome gives me plenty of installs to do that, and Safari's user base is too small on the desktop. Adding Safari also means that I have to manage another release system, deal with all of Apple's app store approval quirks, and support customers on a new platform. The added $100 / year just adds to the trouble.

I still think Safari supporting WebExtensions is a big win for the web platform. When I do scale and when Apple sorts out the new platform quirks, I think I will pay the $100 per year and all the added time and technical costs.

I do hate that sites like 8kun are always casted as "8chan, which has rebranded as 8kun, has been linked to white supremacism, neo-Nazism, antisemitism, multiple mass shootings, and child pornography."

No one counts the number of human rights violations on facebook because there are too many to count. I distinctly remember a shooting that was livestreamed on facebook after which law enforcement took action and seized 8chan (The site that DID ban the exact same violent clips) just do a search of facebook shooting and you'll find that facebook is no different.

Another reminder is that 8chan is the same site that used cloudfare but was kicked off because cloudfare decided to take a (political?) stance against 8chan. ironically forcing them to use fringe out of country protection services to keep their site online.
The point is the total loan amount is mostly irrelevant if the term is flexible. It used to be that 6 or 7 year car loans were basically unheard of... 3 or 4 years was the norm.

Another example is most people never pay off their mortgage. Some refinance, often several times, resetting the term. Eventually they'll sell the house, pay off the mortgage as part of that transaction, and keep the change (if they're lucky.)

> In a traditional vaccine, it’s learning by practice. In mRNA it is learned by teaching/programming from a set of instructions.

No, the learning is not done by programming. Nothing is programmed permanently by the mRNA vaccine. In both cases, the proteins to be learned by the immune system are introduced to the body, and then the immune system learns about the proteins floating around. mRNA vaccines do not "reprogram" the immune system any more a traditional vaccine does. What differs is primarily how the protein learned about is made.

> you can’t introduce proteins to get your DNA to do something

The DNA isn't "made to do something", this doesn't make any sense. DNA is not influenced by either vaccine type, and DNA is not changed when the immune system adapts to something.

> I don't see how screens reduce cost since software has become an added cost, and tactile buttons have worked at low cost for decades.

Half of the software is already done (those touchscreens don't get programmed from scratch, there's usually Windows or Android in them). You can outsource making it.

But most importantly, this decouples car's UI from the rest of the design work. With physical knobs, you have to design, place and route wiring for panels, which interferes with designing and placing and routing of everything else. You have to mind the BOM and manufacturing - maybe getting the kind of button your designer wants, in a kind of panel they want, is prohibitively expensive? Making any change in controls arrangement involves altering physical elements of the car, which may need coordination with other teams designing other parts of the interior.

Touchscreen gives you a nice separation from all of this. From the POV of designing the rest of the car, all you need is to fit a glass slab somewhere, and route wiring to that single place. Then, the UI people can do whatever they want. Change shape, arrangement and color of buttons 20 times a day. They can work on it while the physical desing of the car is already finalized. Hell, they can redesign the UI even after cars have already started to roll off the line. This kind of flexibility and decoupling saves money.

In Scala.js, you lean heavily on the Javascript runtime, and on the large ecosystem of Javascript libraries. That integration into the existing ecosystem is in fact one of the big selling points of Scala.js, just like how it is a big selling point of Scala-JVM

By building a neat box with few buttons on the outside and still the same or more complexity on the inside. If something goes wrong, you still have to deal with all the inside parts. The only hope is that the few outside buttons only trigger happy paths without complications. "At scale" this seems unlikely, simplifications usually only work in smaller, simpler use cases.
What I learned so far is that Silicon Valley doesn't actually believe in anything. Ideas get adopted if they're profitable. That's it. There's no morality involved in this machine. It's genuinely wonderful that ideas about inclusivity and diversity are being accepted, but it's because of the understanding that people can do great work regardless of their background or sexual orientation that it happened, and not because of some moral imperative. It's how we can justify and talk up diversity while working on AI tech that can identify homeless people or ex-convicts. It's how we can condemn actions by the Trump administration while criticizing labor activism in Asia by coldly crunching the numbers to demonstrate that you can save money by putting your factory in a country that doesn't allow its people to protest.

And you know what, fine. Just keep tossing anyone who doesn't play nice to the wolves. But please just stop pretending there's morality involved. Let's accept it: we're here in pursuit of profit. Any good that we do is just a nice side effect. The sooner we understand that the sooner we can actually do something about it.

This applies to the media too, of course. I love the manic obsession with stability and morality combined with a lot of corporate and government money in a lot of US journalists' stories. You get great gems like hit pieces on privacy and encryption painted with a moral coat of paint that are better than anything the alphabet soup agencies could come up with - the Silicon Valley nazis are using Clubhouse, the pedophiles are using Signal, we must let the government monitor communications now! You get stories about reddit users in the stock market that somehow try to paint them as the alt-right while completely sidestepping any discussion of wealth inequality. Love it!

> why would we restrict it to natural numbers

We don't, that's the point. We abstract it above numbers, so that we can find that lists and natural numbers and many other things share the same "shape" when looked at from certain perspectives.

It's not about showing off, but about finding generalizations -- finding the "shape" of things -- that allow us to use the same abstractions over them.

And to talk about these shapes, we must use the appropriate vocabulary. It's shorter and more precise. Just like you say "function" instead of explaining what it means in lots of words every time you mean function.
I think we're saying the same thing—it would be good if such a standard existed, but it doesn't. So of the available options, simply settling for http seems like the most reasonable to me.

The only real alternative I can think of is to make the entire device dependent on a cloud service of some sort. Which IMO would be clearly worse for a whole host of reasons (among them, now your device is useless if that service goes down).
Yeah, you should probably discount my comment if those are problems for you.
I'm not sure if JS can request pages and send them to you (XSF protection), but it might be worth writing a small script to request URLs from your server, spider them and send the content back.

I don't know any details not given in the article, but one would think the Supreme Court would welcome the opportunity to rectify their previous decision on eminent domain.

Sounds like you've not tried a functional language yet in your life :p
>outmatched

I wouldn't say that's even a fair characterization. Per the capitol police website they have 2,600 officers and a budget of $460 million. It honestly just ... didn't look like they were trying very hard. They managed to arrest what, 14 people? Compare that to the BLM protests on the west coast where unmarked vans of feds were literally rolling up and black bagging people off the street.

USCP is charged with protecting Congress, and I think members of congress should be thinking hard about whether the police were complicit in what happened today.

I’ve had some brief run-ins with R, and it doesn’t surprise me that it doesn’t have a versioning story for packages, and that the patched-in system described here is based on dates rather than something like a SHA or version number...

My favorite description of the language comes from http://arrgh.tim-smith.us/:

> R is a shockingly dreadful language for an exceptionally useful data analysis environment.

I feel like this is just one more data point to support that statement.
I know of two other existing solutions to this, although I don't know enough to compare. I don't think either of these tick all the author's boxes.

Microsoft MRAN https://mran.microsoft.com/

> For the purpose of reproducibility, MRAN hosts daily snapshots of the CRAN R packages and R releases as far back as Sept. 17, 2014.

MRAN doesn't seem to be very well known or used in the R community, but I don't really know why?

Separately, Nix https://nixos.org/ also solves this problem for lots of different languages, but is difficult to get started with and still a bit rough around the edges. Probably not a good recommendation for a typical analyst or academic at this point.
Also, little story: once I had to migrate a large database between an old, schemaless, version of a product to a new one that enforced schemas. Because the old version was schemaless, there was a whole host of minor schema issues. For various reasons the migration process already involved a Python script spawning an older version of Python and communicating with it over a pipe. I started running the migration and it failed 20 minutes in, so I fixed the issue and restarted the migration only for it to fail differently 20 minutes in. At this point I wrote some code to catch the exception, spawn a prompt that let me input the appropriate conversion code that got evaled and added to a dictionary of translators, along with a function to determine if the conversion applied. This way, every 20 minutes or so I’d come across a new form of corruption and add a translator to fix it without restarting the whole process.

When I learned CL, the condition/restart system and pervasive hot code reloading reminded me of my Python hack and how much easier it would have been in a language designed for this sort of programming.
> The videos from the Capitol demonstrate just how outmatched the police were

Not sure if I understand the point you're trying to make.

They shouldn't have been outmatched in the first place. The protest was planned and the information was extremely overt. Something went horribly wrong for this to happen.

I definitely wouldn't argue that the court system is perfect, just that it appears to be better at separating fact from fiction than other branches of government (though, again, not perfect).
Also, LLVM IR has undefined behavior and was not designed as a network format (it's large).

LLVM is simply not a good starting point for the problem here, nice as LLVM is for what it does do well.
I find these articles to be missing the point. It's probably not rational to enter a PhD program if you're primarily motivated by making money. It's usually only a worthwile if you enjoy the subject enough that you don't mind spending 5+ years being underpaid (relative to what other salaries your skill set could command) to think really hard about it and try to leave an imprint. Then, even if you don't get to stay in the field afterwards, the PhD on its own will have been a good experience.

There are two paragraphs dedicated to the Childs preprint and then two to the Palmer preprint. As far as I can see, the rest of the article consistently refers to 'both papers'. So I do not think it reasonable to claim that the Childs preprint 'is only mentioned in passing'.

Second, you missed a key quote: "So by imagining a pseudo Bose-Einstein condensate tailor made for each nonlinear problem, this algorithm deduces a useful linear approximation." From this I conclude that the MIT paper does reduce the computation to a linear system after all, as OP suggested.

Third, let me offer some unsolicited feedback on the tone of your comment: the phrase "I'm having a hard time believing that you read it carefully" came across as needlessly off-putting to me.
I don't understand how the same people who said we should defund the police are forcefully suggesting that we need a strong police response here? I'm not going to take any sides. All sides are so rife with hypocrisy that I just don't know what to say.

IMHO, M2 (also called "Broad Money") is a more pure indicator of money creation. Specifically the combination of M2 and M2 velocity.

Board money supply grew ~30%+ in 2020. The reason we probably didn't see more inflation is because M2 Velocity was down ~30%. If we see velocity start to pick up with M2 increasing, expect consumer price inflation.

> If that instruction was contextually intended to support non-white employees who felt like they had to "play white" in order to succeed, I think the advice is generally good.

That's far from obvious to me. Implicitly equating success with "acting white" is just as toxic as stereotyping all white people as arrogant, ignorant and defensive. These attitudes are the opposite of genuine inclusiveness.

It certainly describes the retail job I had as a high school kid at Advance Auto Parts. Minimum wage, minimum breaks, awkward hours, pushy sales requirements from corporate, auto repair education was a joke and it basically self-selected for the few weekend wrenchers willing to work for $7.25/hr.
As an employee you can also set your rate and it is always up to employer to take it or leave it. There is no difference between "freelancing" and employment with that regard. I think this will be a clear case of evading employment laws at least in my country. The give away is having to use the tracker which means that employer is exerting direct control over the worker and also you don't have control over what to make (e.g. you have to work to specification set by the client). I think they didn't catch on that because nobody has reported this, but after Uber there is a clear precedent set.

Apache:

OpenBSD was stuck on Apache 1.3 for ages because the license changes for Apache 2.0+ was incompatible. They also ended up maintaining their own fork for quite a while because patches to improve security were not being accepted upstream (I think)
