This comes up every time Datomic is mentioned, but it's tremendously sad to see such a revolutionary technology lack any sizable adoption because of its licensing model.

Datomic packages up a CQRS + event-sourced architecture in a really nice way. You can stash graph/tree/relational/tabular/(insert shape here) data and query it out with the powerful Datalog language. You get time travel (versioning) for free. Etc, etc.

It's a crime that this hasn't taken off as one of the leading data stores; hopefully Cognitec has some sort of roadmap to an open source release.
Changing long master passwords/passphrases can be tricky.

Write them down on a small piece of paper and keep it until you'd remember it correctly if you were very tired or very drunk.

Changing once a year is about right, and rotate all other passwords too. Be sure your pwd mgr backs-up old passwords and the pwr mgr file is backed-up to alternate locations and cloud or backup keeps some past versions of files.
Back then, people thought gloves were going to be really important. Much effort went into making gloves that would faithfully record finger motions. Manipulation in 3D space without firm tactile feedback turned out to be like trying to do precision work wearing an oven mitten. It's not impossible, but it's really slow, and tiring. If you've done tweezer work under a microscope, you know the feeling.

Autodesk had a VR ping-pong demo, with the paddle position reporting to the computers. It took a small rack of 1980s PCs and, I think, Matrox graphics cards. Matrox had one of the few graphics cards of the 1980s with hardware geometry support, the 4x4 multiplier unit. Nobody bought it because it was so expensive. There wasn't enough compute power in the 1980s for general collision detection, let alone game physics, so you couldn't align things by pushing them against each other. Various kinds of "snap" were tried, but now there was a mode problem. In VR, you don't have a keyboard, and doing keyboard-like things is hard. Mode controls are a problem.

The '90s brought all sorts of 3D input devices, from robot arm like devices for input to magnetically levitated trackballs. All that stuff has disappeared. There have been real improvements in 3D GUIs driven by a mouse with a thumbwheel. (Try Autodesk Inventor or Autodesk Fusion, both of which have free trials.)

Newer VR systems don't use gloves; they just give you a sort of game controller for each hand. OK for gaming, but not for fine manipulation. Good for shooting, not for putting a nut on a bolt.

A related topic - running digital logic at subthreshold voltages, where transitions usually (but not always) happen correctly. It can be useful if you're attempting to measure something probabilistically anyway

I just got a Galago Pro from system76. It's a really nice laptop with a solid aluminum build. Not as slick as a MacBook, but has better specs and is much more repairable as well as being a lot less expensive.
First I've heard of analog computers but it sounds super interesting. So basically the structure of the system defined the algorithm and is therefore very specialized and efficient?
One can make an argument that the CO2 and energy cost for wasted server usage is a decent reason for it! 6x fewer is not a small amount, that's a great result.

Obviously. But good luck implementing a human-comprehensible analog differential equation solver on one, without the help of a genetic algorithm, that doesn't depend (as Adrian Thompson's circuit did) on the temperature, the quirks of that specific board, and the effect of components which aren't even physically wired to it.

The difference isn't that FPGAs don't operate on analog voltages deep down (who said they don't?). The difference is in the set of tools and tolerances they give you, and in that sense FPGAs are only an analog coprocessor in the sense that a car can, technically, be used as a sailboat.
> Delivery fees are typically $3.
You've hit the nail on the head with these points. I'd just like to add that another reason mental health is taboo is because of the way we relate to others. Whereas a physical issue is seen as a temporary and non-fundamental change to a person, mental issues are perceived to change the individual itself in a fundamental level (no matter how true that would be or how temporary the issue might be).

We are very likely to say that a person has "changed" if we uncover information that affects how we perceive their trustworthiness (for instance, being caught lying) as opposed to other types of behavior. Mental illness is similarly believed to affect the core of an individual's nature.
Yes, give your brain some rest. You can try meditation. It really costs nothing save a bit of time. Put a timer on 15 minutes, sit straight (in a position that requires a little bit of effort so you don't fall asleep) and do nothing. No mails, no internet, phone out of reach, concentrate on yourself, your body, your breath. Forbid yourself to do anything else before the 15 minutes are over. That really helped me.

Memorizing happens when you try to recall. If you want to learn a list of things, spend half of your time trying to remember them. Let your brain push as much as it can to reach the memory before giving it the answer. This helps memorization a lot.
While the paint canisters are definitely a doozy, I've successfully disposed of "weird" things by offering them to the masses via FreeCycle and Craigslist's "free" section. Someone is guaranteed to show up at your home in order to pick up the most useless of objects. I've given away awkwardly sized furniture, old barely working TVs, and other such crap. The capacity of humans to scramble for trash is truly breathtaking.
Thanks, I am really surprised by the score it reached!
You can achieve similar goals to Datomic using Postgres:

create table snapshot (
id uuid primary key default uuid_generate_v4(),
ts timestamp without time zone default now(),
entity_id uuid references entity(id),
value jsonb
);

create table entity (
id uuid primary key default uuid_generate_v4(),
snapshot_id uuid references snapshot(id)
);

Rather than mutating the value of an entity, you simply append a new record to the snapshot table and update the entity's reference to it. This gives you a full audit trail of the entity.
Def yeah they are insignificant, but OP said they ran numbers and used the word "successful". I was wondering if that meant something pretty impressive like in the range of $1M a week in rev or something closer to $1M a month in rev, which is still good, but really small.
Robinhood doesn't have transaction fees
Exactly the point of the author (who I know). Not just cliquish, though, but faddish and full of misattribution of credit.

I agree that all of society is susceptible to this. I think the problem is that in the sciences, we pretend it doesn't happen.

With music, for example, society has a clear understanding of quality and popularity, and the distinction between the two. There might be arguments about the two, such as how strongly related they are, or whether or not quality is even a meaningful attribute of music, but I think most people understand that they are not the same, in one way or another.

With science, though, we act as if they are the same. There's an assumption that, sure, there's some noise, but in the end it all evens out and attribution is correctly given and good ideas rise to the top. No corruption, taking or giving credit inappropriately, no cognitive errors or biases, no nepotism, no etc.

The set of assumptions underlying science reminds me a lot of homo economicus in economics. A set of assumptions that are almost certainly untrue, with significant consequences, but which we tend to ignore out of convenience. (I actually think there should be more skeptically rigorous decision-theoretic/economic analysis of different scientific systems and structures, like game-theoretic analyses of different scenarios as they play out in science.)

Accelerate is a really amazing and highly underrated framework. Sure the function names are, uh, sub optimal (I'm looking at you, vDSP). That said, having a framework guaranteed across all devices to implement algorithms and primitives in the fastest way for each new device as they come out is amazingly valuable.

I've built production systems over the last few years with it that really wouldnt have been possible without it.
And I don't think is totally a bad thing! Huge rush of money the last 3 years seeking new opportunity as costs to starting up had dropped (but still high). I believe there will still be some winners that will shake out of that, and in a few years some funding will be back with many lessons learned. I suspect hardware as a way into selling recurring 100% margin software subscriptions will be the move, ala Ring, Simplisafe, Latch, etc. TBD!

Just an FYI that an used Cessna 172 is <$40k USD.
Good question. I guess precision is finally going to be fractions of the max voltage swing allowed by the computer. For example, if voltage goes from -5 to +5 volts, the voltage swing is 10v, and if noise allows 0.1mV of precision, then the precision is 1/100000 of the full voltage swing.

This could be expressed, at the end, simply in decibels, though. Signal-to-noise, as in classic analog systems.

Something that might be interesting is some kind of analog fpga for neural networks. Seems like NN weighting would translate well.
The problem with spending a lot of time in VR is that the current generation of VR headsets get incredibly uncomfortable before too long. Developers generally get paid for their efforts, so maybe they'll put up with the discomfort, but I certainly wouldn't want to spend that much time in VR if I could help it.. not before the headsets get a lot more comfortable.

Huh? So we now have computers more powerful than the human brain? I thought that was still some decades off. And how would one even measure such a thing? In the apples-to-apples comparison, a stupid human trick floating-point calculation savant might manage 1 flop/s.

That's a slippery slope and you know it.

I don't really understand why you'd say this. They absolutely have predictive power. This is like saying that because there are error margins that we can't take the mean and extract meaningful data from it.

If that were the case, nearly all classic statistics would be powerless. Spoiler alert: it is not.

No string literals, pure data. Add transit to the mix and you get full-stack killer combo with unparalleled productivity.

With so many parts from Cognitect filling the stack it would be silly not to boost adoption with a friendly licensing.
Please carefully read articles before participating in discussions about them. Your question was answered by the reference. I'm almost certain that's why you're being downvoted.
It's the opposite: it makes sense practically, because it means a setup that can be reproduced "anywhere" based on pure knowledge, without depending on being able to ensure the continued integrity of a physical object that has been shown to change over time.

Most people can continue to depend on prototypes for calibration, so it does not cost us any complexity in that respect. What we're gaining is to be able to independently re-calibrate multiple prototypes.

She said: "When you use antibiotics to treat infections like a normal sore throat, this mixes with the Neisseria species in your throat and this results in resistance."

Tragedy of the commons.

Also who actually gets antibiotics for a sore throat? Apart from strep and other more serious infections I've never heard of such a thing.

Yeah, I remember Usenet. Definitely had a structure similar to this.

But I think the difference is that Usenet required a separate client to access, at least until those online readers like Google Groups came out after it was mostly dead.

Maybe something like this could work better with sites accessed through plain http?
Yes, but I think it's trying to say stop sucking.
This is because consumers love PayPal. It means I am not giving my credit card to a potentially shady person and that I have a way to cancel the service. I also have 1 place where I can see all my subscriptions, so I don't keep subscribed to services I don't use but forgot about.

In general, if there are two equivalent options and one takes PayPal and the other doesn't, I am going with the one that takes PayPal.
I came here to say just that ...

A FreeBSD jail does not emulate or create a virtual machine - it's just a fancy chroot mechanism that produces only the unix processes that actually get run inside the jail.

A jailed httpd does not take up any more resources than the exact same httpd run on the base system.

This makes it extremely efficient and, in fact, allows you to create an even richer multi-user platform than the original one the op has nostalgia for: a multi user unix system where everyone gets to be root.
I think part of what she's saying is that currently, fame is implicitly or explicitly the goal and standard by which scientists are evaluated, but that it shouldn't be.

A lot of comments on this article so far are focused on blindness of the review system, control over publications, etc. which is definitely relevant, but is only half of the story.

The other half is the reasons why papers are popular, and how credit is attributed in papers, grants, and other research.

First there is the question of why papers are published, then why they are cited, and then how peers mentally attribute credit in those cited works. At each step of the way, there are problems: there are biases in why papers are published, why they are cited, and how credit is attributed. A similar process happens with grants.
Reality minus the garbage clicky headline: Antibiotic overuse and resistance is causing unstoppable bacteria.

Why there isn't a global effort to develop new antibiotics is somewhat shocking to me. It is already a major public health problem and will get worse if new antibiotics are not developed. Governments need to incentivize new antibiotic develop heavily, or invest in it heavily themselves.
Yikes.

It may be all you need to look at if your goal is merely to scoff at the state of affairs and reaffirm your egalitarian self-identity.

If you want to thoroughly understand the problem so that you can reason intelligently about what a solution might look like, you'll probably want more data.

No, not at all. This problem was solved decades ago via a myriad of different workarounds.

You can simply turn off privileged ports if you feel like it. Or do things like setuid such as how Apache starts as root but switches to userspace immediately.

It's not ideal, but to say the privileged port thing is an issue is bizarre to me. It's the least interesting item the author brings up in the article, and certainly was not the primary driver behind multi-tenancy virtualization.

Better yet is using reverse proxies - service providers have been doing this for ages. A single shared HA cluster of haproxy, that maintains records for each individual application/tenant that lives wherever it likes. This is the model I prefer, since it allows me (as a sysadmin) to protect the developers from themselves by being able to easily filter at layer 7 in front of their application as needed. Also lets you direct traffic easily, and is generally the model used by any container orchestration service.

Very easy to expose all that via various APIs and tooling so users can self-service.
Most Nielsen data ties together with a program code, they often don't miss assigning the same program code to the different spellings. Local data arrives with BBTheory, BigBTheory, BBTheory087, etc. All of them will have the same program code. It is often up to the person pulling the raw data how to calculate the program averages. I am not sure who the one entity is in this case that is not including them in the average.

Does it need to be a crippling problem before you do anything about it?

Even discounting that, the fact that their server bill will now be 6x smaller is justification enough? Even if the cost savings aren't quite that much (suppose they work out to be 50% of previous costs), if I was running a business I would totally be implementing optimisations that allowed me to halve my running costs...

> who actually gets antibiotics for a sore throat?

My friends whose parents are doctors would often give them antibiotics for the smallest things.

Physicians are often late to the public-health party (as evidenced by the opioid crisis and over-prescription of antibiotics).
Yeah did some initial research, but didn't find a good platform with an API and no fees.
Its funny, but I have the opposite reaction. I want a fitness band / smartwatch that can do everything:

o Ability to run w/o phone:

- BT transmitter & music storage

- GPS independant of phone

o Accurate HRM

- background hear rate monitoring

o Smartwatch features

- notifications

- Android smart unlock device

- useful for 2FA (eg, Google Authenticator, or Duo)

o 2+ days of battery life

o sleep tracking

I think only 4 of them have been made:

First was Moto 360 sport. The battery life was horrific, the HRM and GPS were inaccurate, and the BT transmitter was weak. Mine finally died.

I now have a Polar M600, which is nice, but lacks background HRM. Its also very bulky for the size of the screen, and the battery life, while better than the Moto 360, is only about 2 days.

The others are a TomTom Spark Cardio+Music, which I've never tried. And the Apple Watch 2, of course; which being an Android person, I have never tried.

I wish that Fitbit would make a device like this. Or that Garmin would add a BT transmitter and music storage to the Fenix.
I'd imagine every piece of infrastructure is targeted that can be.

What's going to be done about it is the real question.
