React-server seems to roll in additional opinions (sane default) about how to go about creating a high performance server-side rendered universal application.

My evaluation is that react-server looks promising for prototyping and first versions of an application where being monolith is a reasonable approach. Hypernova seems like a good fit for organizations that are already building microservices and want to eek some additional performance out of the initial render of their SPAs.
For a specialised work vehicle... maybe. But for a personal car, even if a 20yo one still works perfectly, I'd still replace it with a new one for fuel economy and safety features. We made some serious improvements in that time. 1970s cars are deathtraps in comparison. I mean, in the US ABS wasn't even enforced until 2013!
I'm not sure I would go as far as saying they can't. I'm quite comfortable with F#'s async computation expression and like them a lot.

You get a strange sense however when playing with Hopac (which btw has an analog sugar to F#'s async which works just fine) and going through the content in Reppy's book that the model is strictly more composable. I'd invite you to try it although I don't have a sense for the C# combinators.
Thanks for the tip. I'll see where I can apply it.

Most of the time is usually spent in the convolution layers. Convolution is not a matrix multiplication in the current implementation. I guess it would be a matrix multiplication in frequency domain or by using a Toeplitz matrix.

I've implemented a CPU Parallel version and gave a try at GPU implementation. But I'm not satisfied at all by the GPU version :)

>>The selfless mentalities of these companies is why I think they’ve grow fast, and they all help to reinforce the notion that a great company doesn’t care about itself. A great company cares about the customers, obsessively.

I agree that great companies care about customers obsessively. However, I disagree with the selfless part.
The phenomenon is known as a 'market for lemons' - freakonomics did a story about it and how it applies to the used car market, but the same principles apply: free markets go bad if one side is low-information.
In my experience [1], you'd probably just use an if statement that does something different when you're on the server. That's totally fine and is still a universal app; universal apps don't have to take every exact same code path on the client and server, they just have to run the same code base.

In React, people typically use the ExecutionEnvironment module [2] for this:

if (ExecutionEnvironment.canUseDOM) {
// make client side request
} else {
// make direct db request
}

...but you could also just do some simpler check, like see if `window` exists, or make up your own `IS_SERVER` global, etc.

Next you'll wonder: won't that still ship the server-side code to the browser, even if it's not run, and pull in any server-only modules you're importing, e.g. database access stuff? No: you'd fix this with (for example) webpack's `DefinePlugin` [3], telling it that `ExecutionEnvironment.canUseDOM` should always be `true` wherever it occurs in your client-side JS bundle, and dead code elimination will then rip out those server-only `else` branches before that code gets shipped to the browser.

Or a similar setup, like wwalser hinted at: write 2 versions of your 'request' module: one for the client, and one for the server. Tell webpack it should point to the client-side one when you generate your client JS bundle. People use webpack because it lets you do all kinds of overrides like this.

"One of the saddest things about the modern Internet is how little hypertext is used. As an example, I would have expected, 'Mark McCahill' to link to his personal or academic site[0], 'San Diego' to link to the city government's site[1], 'Hyatt Islandia' to link to that hotel's site [2] (perhaps with a note that its name has changed), and 'Mission Bay' to link to an appropriate page [3] — and that's in the first paragraph alone."

If it's trivial for you to come up with the link, then it's not very useful because it's trivial for me, too. Similarly for something trying to automatically add links; I've actually seen that functionality and it's more annoying than helpful, obscuring the links added by humans with intention. If it's challenging for you to come up with it, then it takes effort and on average people won't do it.

Pretty much no matter how you slice it, there's no story that results in the sort of hyperlinking you mention.
The plaques are a really nice touch. Very respectful.

Having the month and year of the "interview" would be helpful. Down-the-road, it will help give context to the information. A neat idea would be to allow for follow-up "interviews" later.
The way I would put it - a delicate framing - is that the market is honest, not correct. The situation is such that most people think they can stay in a little longer even as the analysts are pointing to all sorts of warning signs. There is always theater around the economy in election years, and they might succeed again in propping things up for the next president to handle.

It seems disingenuous to say this is "more efficient than natural photosynthesis" when it's a bioreactor using photosynthesizing microbes (and thus presumably use the same chlorophyll-based chemistry as natural photosynthesis).

On the other hand, I wonder about the potential for evolution to occur inside reactors like these, essentially self-optimising them over time.

ADHD Drugs Make Big Money, but We Still Don’t Know the Risks
GNU ensures freedom. It doesn't restrict it. It REQUIRES it.
Corporate profits are quite high though.
The important thing about a lot of psychiatric ailments is that people have effectively lost some mental resource that they require to "bootstrap their way" out of the problem. Like, depressed people are usually too depressed to manage to make it to their therapy appointments (which they agree help with their depression, but only if they go...) So just prescribing talk therapy won't do anything; the person can't manage to "take that medicine" correctly.

Psychiatric drugs are great in the same way crutches are great: they let you "take the weight off" the problem, so you can work on the other parts of it. SSRIs let depressed people make it to their CBT therapy appointments. ADHD medications let unmotivated people get a job doing something they're passionate about. Anxiolytics let people make friends to attend social gatherings with. Etc.
Definitely. Some say lobsters can live forever since they don't age, others up to about 500 years due to telomerase and jelly fish potentially forever from being able to rejuvenate.

If we can slow down our aging we could live much longer and better lives.

I guess i'd ask the same question i asked of jeremyjh.

With no notion of free will, how do we distinguish between manslaughter and murder? When someone dies, the cost to society is the same either way. A consequence of no free will seems to be it's a distinction without difference. I disagree, but it might just be deeply embedded beliefs that are wrong.
If the kernel scheduler completely hands control of the core over to the program, doesn't that mean you can only run one or two programs on the entire machine at once without running out of cores? Surely the kernel still schedules other threads on that core too.

Quantum Physics is a very wide term. To calculate the size of a proton you must consider also all the details about the particles and the forces about the particles. In particular how strong is the strong force between the quarks inside the proton (and the gluons inside the proton).

(To use a very bad analogy, you can use Classic Newtonian Mechanics to predict the maximal speed of a car, but you must consider the details of the car, like the size, weight, the size and position of the gears in the transmission, ...)

Not familiar with the reference. I think Feynman may have used this technique though.

More seriously, I was hoping you'd pick up on the overarching theme: is there an effective way to sort through the autodidact chaff to find wheat?

My own area of crankdom is economic theory. I have (and I believe this earns me John Baez crank points) studied the topic in school, and am doing a boatload of research on both current state and history of theory and the dynamics of its spread. Interesting stuff. I'm actively trying to shut the fuck up for the most part, other than 1) noting what I'm currently pursuing, 2) questions of interest, 3) references of interest (e.g., the Santa Fe Institute mafia generally, mentioned above), and 4). occasionally contacting specific academics with specific questions, usually about some element of theory, historical item, etc., rather than a full-fledged Theory of Everything. Then withdraw for further mulling. I'm batting about 50-50 on responses, some quite helpful.

But it does put to mind the question of how one ought approach questions quite fundamental to the nature of a large field of study and/or propaganda (economics is ... curious in many regards).
Admittedly my response is another extreme from the parent comment. I run an open-source project and certainly don't have a take-it-or-leave-it attitude toward it. Although I also run a company behind that project and do get paid for some small subset of the work I do on the project; it'd be a lot harder to maintain that attitude if I didn't. I don't think open-source is perfect, it could be better and in my opinion is constantly improving. I disagree quite a bit with your characterization here though.

You talk about there being a problem somewhere in open source and how it's not any particular persons fault that this convoluted system is not effective... what on earth is your definition of "effective" that it's failing to meet? You mention how "Users find their creation fascinating and good, if not better than anything out there" that sounds pretty effective to me. Consider some concrete examples here:

- Linux, cornerstone of the web used by millions would have cost several billion dollars to build in a non open-source way.
- Android, used on millions of phones because it's open source and others can modify it.
- Chrome and firefox
- Every programming language

Believe it or not these projects didn't succeed despite the fact that they're open-source, they succeed very much because of it. So yeah, let's all grab the dick to the left and pretend that open-source is some broken paradigm that doesn't produce results because some new project doesn't have nice enough documentation.

> Users who are not programmers or not skilled enough (by no fault of their own) are using it out of necessity or because it is good, but due to the disconnects in the method of creation, it's not inherently good in ways that users expect

Some projects will care about these types of users, many won't. That's just the reality of software and there's no obligation to include everyone. Talk to an illiterate person and they'll tell you all about how ineffective the publishing industry is. That doesn't mean publishing should change.
Very good point. I think my grandma did a good job of giving things away before she died. I showed interest in some music books I found on her shelves and she gave them to me right away (I wasn't asking for them). At least giving things away before you die you can see others use and enjoy them. Especially when you think you're not going to get the chance to use it again.

ADHD is overdiagnosed and under diagnosed. (It's just badly diagnosed, really.)

On the one hand, parents get their kids prescribed stimulants (which necessarily entails a—usually fake—ADD diagnosis) for the same reason university students go pick up illicit stimulants: they think it'll "make" them study. That is not the problem that ADHD causes, nor is that the benefit stimulants provide, but it's what parents think.

On the other hand, many people only discover as adults that they've had ADHD their entire lives, and have suffered unnecessarily through 3+ decades of being unable to motivate themselves to do homework/projects before they're overdue, or practice anything, or focus on reading rather than (badly) multitasking five different things, or put themselves to bed before 4AM, or even remember half the things they need to bring with them when they leave the house.
I think that's a great goal to aim for, but remember we were supposed to have full-blown Drexler-style molecular manufacturing years ago and like most things in this universe it has turned out to be harder than we expected, so let's try to avoid letting the set of (literal) deadlines we face get any bigger than it needs to be.
> Congress passes a law to overrule the supreme court, or the country pass an amendment to do it. This has happened numerous times before.

But then the Supreme Court gets to interpret that law also. I don't see how you could possibly more clearly state what the previously quoted amendments already state.

Since it already failed(or succeeded, depending on which side you're on) in it's interpretation of the 4th/5th/14th amendments, I have zero confidence it would properly interpret any other amendment or law addressing the issue.

Work as a contractor, rather than full time. That gives you some flexibility in how much time to devote to your side project as it grows.

My upvote won't be visible to others, so I'm also posting to second the above explicitly.

Working independently usually means you have more flexibility in both time and money than you typically get as a regular hours, salaried employee. You can balance how much contract work you take on against what you need to do for your side project. There may well still be a point where you have to give up a relatively large amount of immediate revenue from the (absence of) contract work in return for much less immediate extra revenue for your side business. However, if you think the side business will grow in the future based on that work, you might consider that a worthwhile investment.

Another advantage is that operating independently also usually means you have a contract to work on one specific project. That contract would normally be explicit that things like the IP rights transferred to the client are only those relating to that specific project. In contrast, an employment contract is usually broader, and shady employers often try to include clauses that claim IP rights to pretty much anything the employee ever does, out of hours or otherwise. This is a legal minefield and the effect of those clauses depends on where you are, but in any case the last thing you need if your side project starts to become successful is a dispute with a past employer's lawyers.

Paraplegics regain some feeling, movement after using brain-machine interfaces
Very cool. I thought it was going to be more 'biological' i.e. less about finding a catalyst, and more about microbes and chlorophyll somehow.

I think technology creates things, sometimes problems, and then newer technology sometimes addresses these problems. I like the concept of all of these CO2 extraction-for-energy technologies that seem to be popping up lately.

Now, let's hope they can scrub some CO2 from the atmosphere, but not too much! After all, the climate models have been proven to be underestimating the rise of temperature, so the models are deemed not reliable for prediction or forecasting.

Take too much CO2 out, and we're in for a Global Winter. Sort of like the old Twilight Zone episode on TV (Ok, I'm old) where a guy is feverish, and in the background the Earth is getting too hot because of the sun getting closer? He then wakes up and it is snowing outside, and just when you think it is fine and dandy, it is the beginning of an Apocalyptic Winter!
Question: Why not go to 96V?

Everything wants to go higher for all manner of reasons, and the semiconductor switches probably don't care all that much. If the jump has to be made, make the jump as far as possible so that the jump doesn't have to be made again.

Is there a safety reason or something?
I don't know. A couple paragraphs betrayed minimal understanding of the topic at hand and there were various grammatical errors...it feels more like relatively well-written clickbait.
The problem being solved is better UX (in this case, developer experience). It is an event loop using epoll and a threadpool, just in a more palatable (and composable) interface, without much overhead.
Don't forget the possibility of data being repeated by your electric meter even if you don't provide WiFi. They're generally dual band, operating at WiFi frequencies for local interaction and with more power at a lower frequency for the networked traffic. While the protocols are not intended to be WiFi compatible, the already-proven-hackable devices are just a patch away from unexpected functionality. The local link is intended for things like telling your air conditioner not to run part of the time when the grid supply doesn't have much excess capacity.

What other data is sitting around? How about raster images of whatever your "copier" printer fax has handled? Even if you're using USB, if there's WiFi capability in there, assume it can be awakened. A link that's not compatible with your sniffer is a possibility too. Drag out a spectrum analyzer and directional antenna. While you're at it, check those new LED streetlights for bursts of r.f. too.
