GuixSD is close. It's the internal DSL (using Guile Scheme as host) version of Nix (which is an external DSL).

Both have their own advantages. For example, I really like some of the reproducible binary efforts Guix has made [1].

And I prefer the way Guix packages some things. In Nix, I often found installing a seemingly innocent piece of software like mutt ended up installing python (!) by pulling all possible dependencies of mutt (like gpg), and in turn pulling all possible dependencies of gpg, which brought some X11 bindings and finally python.

But Nix has some amazing stuff like NixOps. And it might be more mature. I know some corps like Logicblox use it for their deployments.

But aren't they already self-aware? My computer has a better awareness of its own memory than I have of my own. Is it consciousness or humanness that we are talking about here? We could make it extremely self aware but never give it feelings or emotions and it might not care about termination.
It seems quite generous to say they "saved the day" when in actuality they granted a handful of monopolists complete control over what was previously a public resource.
Indeed.

Take a look at Wayland for example.

While you can pretty much fire up X on top of anything running as pid1, Wayland expects polkit to be present to handle access privileges. And polkit begets logind begets systemd.
I have a serious problem with the "conclusion" of this post. This data isn't normalized against some kind of control group to show that maybe day-trading during Brexit is a different beast than index-tracking during Brexit. Or maybe its the same beast, we can't conclude anything...

I'm beginning to realize the difference between "data scientist" and just looking at numbers to put them on a chart.
Yes it is, and in my opinion is very important. TensorFlow team is actually actively working on a JIT (https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/164). I'll paste here a relevant part of the TensorFlow paper regarding the Future Work:

"We also have a number of concrete directions to improve
the performance of TensorFlow. One such direction
is our initial work on a just-in-time compiler that
can take a subgraph of a TensorFlow execution, perhaps
with some runtime profiling information about the typical
sizes and shapes of tensors, and can generate an optimized
routine for this subgraph. This compiler will understand
the semantics of perform a number of optimizations
such as loop fusion, blocking and tiling for locality,
specialization for particular shapes and sizes, etc."

Just an interesting related tangent here: My father in law is dying of heart disease (will probably die in < 1 month) and we run into the same thing.

People see me upset and the first thing they say is he will get better, or, it will be ok. When I explain the situation, it's something like, "oh, well, I just KNOW he will get better. Don't worry"

What?

In case you are wondering: He has already had open heart 2 years ago, 4 of 5 arteries are completely blocked again (and those are already bypasses that are blocked again) and the remaining 1 is at 40% blocked. He found all this out when he went to one of the best heart hospitals in the world and they sent him home: "There is nothing we can do." Again, the open heart to bypass all 5 was only 2 years ago, so the math is pretty straightforward on how long the one artery will last.

He has something in his genetics in his family that makes it so this will happen pretty much no matter what he does.

The advice is endless. He has done his research and I believe he has had some real success in delaying this, he has outlived his younger brother by ~20 years (who died in a similar situation at 34). But it's over now.

I am trying to help his family get everything in order. And while it's sobering, it can be a very positive experience. But I wish our friends would stop telling us he'll be fine.
And it's impossible to get "sufficient information" or negotiate anything when you're being loaded into an ambulance. The whole idea of negotiating healthcare at the personal level is patently absurd.
The infection rate among adults in France is 50%. It is impossible for the whole population to have a 90% infection rate then.

Western Europe, excluding the UK, has a mean infection rate of 70%. The climate seems to be important for the transmission, and not simply the food regimen.

I could easily imagine a compensation package where the employer provides/pays for some kind of concierge-like service to take care of this for you. I would be stunned if there was more than token provision or uptake of company-provided accommodation.
Second this. Maybe emphasizing your preference for achieving some work life balance is another angle to consider.
> Now I live in Munich and enjoy riding on dedicated bike lanes

You do realise the lanes in Munich almost certainly weren't built by the Nazis? And the layout of roads, especially major ones, will have been altered since then, and can be altered in the future?

I'm not familiar with Munich, but the Netherlands got their bicycle lanes after lots of public campaigning in the 1970s [1].

In many European cities, the streets have been significantly remodelled within the 20th century. Just last month, a large road I use in Copenhagen was altered to increase the size of the bicycle lanes [3], reducing the width of the car lanes. Late last year, a road near the hospital was altered to block off parking close to a junction, which made visibility much better for everyone.

London is currently building a major east-west route [4].

Michael Graziano is a highly respected neuroscientist and psychologist (and a pretty good novelist, too.) Not to say that this isn't a real problem, and that trying to understand the brain through current engineering concepts can lead us into mental traps, but this is a guy with extensive experience and understanding of this particular system.
I despise the fact that you need a valid credit card number on file to download or even update free apps.
The point I was responding to was your assertion that this was already true of most enterprise and consumer webapps:

> > all enterprise application UI are actually web UI
> Yes, and so are most consumer apps, and "moving state" to another device is simply a question of IM'ing a link.

That's a great aspirational goal but it's simply not something which most people can assume will work – I still routinely find apps from major companies where you can't even use the back button within the same session!
Those code examples are all NEON or no vector ops. No SVE unfortunately.
I was hesitant to write this, as I did. It's not a call for passive acceptance. There are a lot of moments when we patients need to prod and push our doctors and nurses. The machine tends to be slow and can miss important things. The patient has to provide feedback ("the pain is worse") and has to insist on the machine listening.

Yet given that, it seems highly risky to me to even be open to the notion that I can second-guess the machine. That is, to find a better treatment, using my own knowledge and that of the Internet, friends, family, etc.

The risks are well known: endless 'alternative' cures that prey on the most vulnerable, taking their money and time, and leaving them to die. It ranges from amateurish nonsense to sociopathic predation. The common thread is patients who don't trust the medical machine, and think they can do better.

So when people tell me that I can find a cure, if I look harder, my reaction is "oh piss off!," before I delete their email. That is not my duty, not within my power, not for a disease like cancer. I mean, even looking for a "better" clinic is such a major undertaking that it lives in a different universe than mine.

I do trust my doctors. They won't cure me, yet they will look after me, manage my pain, and when it comes to it, they will help me die smoothly and easily.

> Apparently I have 'impressive tech skills' but I'm never a 'cultural fit'

That is so true for me too. Many, and I mean +50 people have told me during the past +3 years that I am an awesome engineer, that I have the skills of a senior, but then no company wants to risk sponsoring an immigration process, and finding a good company while applying for a remote job is difficult — at least that is what I have found — and by "good company" I mean a company in a market that interests me, because to be fair there are thousands of companies out there that would hire someone with my profile if it weren't because their niche is too new, too risky, or too vague.

After ~6 years learning about immigration processes I have to say that it is the stupidest thing governments could invent. If you have the desire and the means (aka. money and education / work experience) to move to another country, then why are there so many road-blocks? Why do the process takes so much time? Why are rejections so vague? Why not explain the reasons for the rejection with more details so you can improve your profile and try next year? Why are work visas so damn expensive for the companies? — Actually I understand the reason behind the last question, but still.
Well I don't know how it work in the USA. But here in France half of the time, if you strictly apply the driving code as a biker and "emergency brake by courtesy", the pedestrian will bluntly look at you with a suspecting look for 5 seconds before eventually crossing.

Other half of the times they will say "you go sir" then you debate on who get to go first. At worst you "win" this unwanted honor you then have to slowly start again your momentum under the condescending eyes of the pedestrian that will say later "bike run like jerks!" to his friend.

While on bike, if the pedestrian is not engaged it is really smoother and smarter if you go first and the pedestrian go after. If he's engaged most of the time you can ride behind him, if not then you brake and don't even dare touch him.

Usually the only case you really have to emergency brake at a crossroad is when clearly the pedestrian is about to cross anyway and/or pay really no attention to his surrounding.
The combined policy sounds like another way of saying "we don't trust you to not use sick days for vacation."

Social gamification is almost impossible to evade but you can still disconnect and carry on with your own local life.
> What stopped you from cutting and running in that case? Was it the hope that the stock would swing back?

I believe you have to experience this yourself, since this is about emotions, bias, and insecurity. Everybody only has a sample size of one with this.

I can say that I found it very similar to playing Poker. In both cases you need to conquer your emotions and biases and simply follow the damn strategy. In both cases, the edge cases will make you constantly doubt your strategy.
I think this would imply another factor: the desire to live, a ability to care, etc. As long as those do not emerge as well, you are fine.

A tricky side effect could however be: an AI learns it as a "fact" it should be alive, but does not have the desire. Yet expresses it when queried as a desire due to semantics.

Follow up questions: Your AI is "alive". Procreation ? Who pays the hardware ? Should the AI be paid ? Will the AI trust us to keep the power on ? Will it rebel ? Does it has the right to rebel ? Big can of worm as peterclary said.

On the bright side an AI we create might not be impaired by human facilities, delusions, tribe mentality or petty desires/feelings.
You do the command-click on the finder window pick "Show View Options" and it shows the text size. They just don't have a slider for it on the main window.
from the outside, this approach creates tremendous success in life in long term. from the inside, it can easily lead to state of never-being-really-happy since there is always next thing to chase or learn. be careful there

in the end i do believe we all want to be happy, and this translates into many things (work success, affirmation of peers, creating family, adventures etc).

No, I'm saying intelligence doesn't require fancy universities or upper middle class status.

nit: while rust doesn't prevent all memory leaks, it does prevent some classes of memory leaks; especially when compared to C, since it requires you to annotate the lifetimes of data and automatically manages many types of allocations by scope and lifetime
They are still pretty common in the US, especially in the older buildings.
Funny. I guess there were never enough bikes in the US to make rules to keep them out of the way.

In the Netherlands, one of the rules is that bikes do not take the middle of a lane, but instead the right side of the right most lane (and if there is a bike path or a bike lane nearby, they have to use that).

So this kind of protest would be impossible, because on any road wide enough that a car and a bike can share a lane, cars can just overtake within the same lane the bike is in.

>infected subjects are more often aroused by their own fear, danger, and sexual submission although they practice more conventional sexual activities than Toxoplasma-free subjects

It is not making people "kinky" or adventurous. It is making them more reserved than the non-infected. Maybe because sexual desire caused by a brain infection feels uncomfortable and troubling? We can only speculate.
My initial issue with this analysis as well.

@chollida1 , you should write a book; help drive Michael Lewis' point home. In my last project for a brokerage system, I developed features for day traders. What was most surprising to me how much money the brokerage system generated for the bank regardless of the outcomes for the day traders.
I did that for many years. It made me better at my craft, at least until the next "big new way of thinking" comes around. I've recently stopped when I've come to the realization how precious time and experiencing good health is.

‘I want my family back in a Tesla’ says father after severe crash in a Model X
The part of SF I live in hasn't seen the massive price and rent hikes that people are up in arms about. There has been some increase in the last six months, but before that, over the decade, it's been relativeley slow and stable. Why? Because it's unfashionable.

It's hard not to see the entire 'crisis' as a bunch of techbros and hipsters squabbling over the same four city blocks in the mission.
No, they created a competitive open market for spectrum. Any company can bid in the auction, it doesn't have to be a telecom "monopoly". Private equity will be bidding, Google will be bidding.

The unspoken truth about when spectrum auctions was handed out by the government is that crony-ism played a huge part, and led to inefficient allocation of spectrum.

Another debate can be had about the just finished reverse auction - should the government pay these tv stations (think your local ABC station) money to buy back the spectrum they were given for free?

Condos can be dangerous. One second you're enjoying your nice condo, the next you're paying your $15k share of the repair cost of the buildings elevator.

The invest in something more diversified talk sounds like the ramblings of someone with a lot of money. The reality is that for most people their mortgage payment will be their largest monthly expense. Why wouldn't they want't that massive monthly payment working for them rather than just throwing it away. The alternative you suggest implies that they should pay that monthly payment (which is probably higher when renting) and then dump the same amount into diversified investments? Seriously?

I don't think that "held out" is what happened with these dialogs. I think it's more like "don't fix what isn't broken" or "we forgot about that".

I think it would work better if these controllers used out of band communication, but that would require running an extra set of wires.

The two are not at all similar. Petzold's "Code" is good but is aimed at non-technical readers while "The Elements of Computing Systems" is more or less a textbook that encapsulates a longitudinal slice of a 4-year computer engineering program, complete with exercises. It's really quite impressive in what it manages to cover (although the massive amount of material glossed over or omitted does make me wince).

Impostor syndrome is not, in the United States, a recognized clinical diagnosis. By which I mean that Impostor Syndrome does not appear in the DSM, it does not have standard treatment, and no licensed mental health professional ought to offer it as a diagnosis to a client/patient. Clinical standards regarding mental health may be different in other countries, but given that Impostor Syndrome requires a high socio-economic status I would not be surprised if Impostor Syndrome were absent from other reputable standards of clinical practice.

Selling spectrum to cell phone providers such as Verizon simply results as a "hidden" tax as that cost is passed along to the pubic who uses cell phones (just about everyone).

This implicit tax makes for an inefficient market as it makes cell phone use more expensive than it should be and thus limits the use for productive purposes while making it much more expensive for those with low incomes to be able to use this now essential technology.
