But, if you want to make a high performance netlist, I'd argue you want to know all about logic gates, Boolean math, and all the rest. HDL stands for "hardware description language", and you'll only write good HDL if you know what you're writing looks like in gates.

Apollo manages your data store automatically. It uses Redux internally. Because Apollo wraps the queries and mutations, it smartly caches data and only fetches the minimal amount necessary to build the page. Apollo reduces the amount of Redux CRUD boiler plate dramatically (by as much as 2/3 or more).

There are no traps there, everything is configurable. The documentation is really clean. Highly recommend Apollo.

Once you have this stack wired up, it empowers you to be quite nimble with your development.

We usually see things coming a long way off. We were burning coal just like wood - and the entire hydrocarbon industry is a big refinement on 'coal fires'.

Nuclear Energy has been vastly understudied in the last 30 years. There are so many opportunities there, and the 'yield' is earth-shaking: 1000 years of electricity.

Yes - I'm aware of the issues, but with the right approach, most of them, possibly all of them can be mitigated.

Just with '1980's tech' - and some institutional responsibility (A big 'ask', I know) - we could wipe out climate change for a hefty, but not unreasonable price tag. (FYI - a huge new component factored into costs is 'insurance' for these plants, which is crazy expensive and hard to assess - in addition to improvements - we can legislate and plan around these things).

At very least - we should be investing in research both in tech, but also in operating modalities. The upside is too great to ignore.

The issue is how to counteract this. Period.
Using the Euclidean distance (Cartesian distance? I dunno) works because it's a monotonic underestimate of the distance along the circle. So you know if cartesian_dist(A, B) > cartesian_dist(A, C) then circle_dist(A, B) > circle_dist(A, C).

> For example, I am a pacificist. When I tell this to people, they sometimes assume I would stand aside and do nothing if a loved one was threatened with violence.

This seems like an own-goal, as the popular perception of pacifism is just that: never using violence. I recommend not using the term on yourself, as it paints the wrong picture in people's minds. If you define pacifism as "only using violence in defense of self or loved ones", then that's totally compatible with getting a concealed carry permit and carrying a gun in public– not exactly most people's idea of pacifism.

I completely agree with your assessment, and that leads me to believe that the Ukrainians and Russians do in fact have different cultures.

A lot of countries have been hit pretty hard during 20th century, but Russians were especially cruel to their own people and I believe that cuts much deeper. For example Golodomor in Ukraine is thought of as an external act of violence of Russians / Soviets, while concentration camps, mass executions in Soviet Russia were all done by Russians to Russians.
The problem with this theory is that it doesn't explain why smiling is more common in many countries that are a lot worse off than Russia, by most of the same metrics.

Where people seem to really care about perf is networking. What that means in non-crazy land is you cut out the kernel from that part, do networking in userspace, and pin a thread to a CPU to poll for packets. Like it's all MMIO and DMA anyway so ring 0 doesn't have to get involved if it doesn't want to. Then for other stuff you have convenient slow OS facilities. Including threads, processes, and disk I/O! Luxurious.

So it's not just that this has to perform better than a kernel, it has to perform better than not involving the kernel in the critical path, and it has to perform so much better that it's worth wanting to beat yourself in the face with a hammer after trying to diagnose the latest lockup. Unikernels are interesting to me, but like the demoscene or a semi tractor doing wheelies. Not for production usage.
The same principle applies to other information.

I used to spend a lot of time reading news stories and checking stock prices every day. Turns out almost all of that is random noise that doesn't add up to actionable patterns.

Better to ignore the hourly and daily stuff and look at longer timeframes with long-form articles and books. Even fiction can be pretty good at identifying real macro patterns.

Yes, I often have done such refactoring. It's hard to get that last 20% of speed, much less last 5% without making a large number of small changes in code, usually after getting accumulated trace results (however presented.) .1% = one in one thousand. Keep stacking up those improvements and you do get somewhere, and often you'll easily find one hundred very small improvements in a day (10% altogether!) if it's green code, along with the bigger inefficiencies to fix. Not to mention that ignoring a presently-small inefficiency is predicting that future use won't swell that into a problem - which can be most unwise. Also, looking for tiny improvements gives you a good chance to stumble upon larger improvements you'd missed earlier. Optimize much?

I had someone tell me to my face once that "the good wines aren't sweet". I honestly don't care. I like what I like, and if someone tries to tell me that I'm wrong for liking what I like, my opinion of them goes down.

I feel that Rust is something of a religion at this point. Curious how many downvotes I might accrue for expressing that perspective. Might be wrong, but my sense has been that challenges with Rust are written off in an off-hand way and its features exaggerated.

I generally agree with you. I've never been able to stand dry wine.

But there are some sweet wines that are utterly fantastic. I was at place a few weeks ago (Umbra Wines in Grapevine, TX) where I had a moscato d'asti that tasted like I was drinking liquid pixy stix. Ever since then, I keep thinking about going back so I could get a full glass instead of the mini-glass in the flight I had (it was the only wine in the flight I liked... the other two were dry, and I had to force them down, but the cost of the flight was worth it for the liquid pixy stix). Well, that and the mead they had there. The mead was also fantastically sweet.

As someone who also can't stand dry wines but loves sweet wines, it depends on the beer. My favorite beers are sweet thick malty beers like doppelbock, milk stouts, wee heavy, etc.

There's a semi-local brewery here called 903 that has a Milk & Honey Stout and a Chocolate Milk Stout. Drinking those is like drinking a little bit of heaven.

It looks shady, I heard in the notes there was the word "donor" mentioned. First it was "donation" but it was corrected later as "donor".

Then that meeting in the tower with Trump J., was also shady. Those are good to investigate and find out what's going on. But I wish media would back away and do something else instead of insinuating the smoking gun is right around the corner.

Because so far, I don't see that meeting or the Black activism ads influencing election results in a major away, and definitely not to the level of overturning them.

I think the Russians but also other countries try to influence US elections. US is world power and who runs for office here affects other countries. Yes, Putin in particular didn't like Clinton, since she criticized his election results (and rightly so, there were some out of whack results like 103% of voters voting for him from what I remember), so Russia probably tried harder. But to me from the beginning, focusing on Russia seemed like a PR campaign more than anything.

I gave an example with $1M gift to show the level of evidence, that would be good to see. Imagine we found a copy of a $100M check to the RNC which allowed them to canvass 10x the neighborhoods that the Democrats could or buy more air time or FB ads and so on. That would be more believable.

> What do you think defamation is if isn't a limitation on free speech?

Think of it this way. If I harm someone by punching them, I will not be prosecuted for improper use of my fist. I will be prosecuted for the damages. Same with these examples of speech. You are being prosecuted for damages, not violating a speech code.

So a law that forbid certain speech and allowed for prosecution without proving damages or somehow prevented me from saying something in advance would then be a limitation on actual speech.
