Vast majority of scientists is not able to write idiomatic Fortran, yet alone idiomatic C++. Scientific C++ code that didn't have an oversight from a professional C++ developer will be always horrible. Scientific Fortran code written without such oversight can sometimes be bearable. This is perhaps the main advantage of Fortran.
I am curious are your phone's IMSI and IPv6 address static enough on most US carriers that this service would be reliable?
Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS) is written in C++ and it's over 20 years old. The FORTRAN codebases seem to be centered around the finite elements/difference methods and the fluid dynamics community.
Yes, Docker is a competing solution. Hopefully in the future we will see a better one, more nix-like.
The one fifth of trips that wouldn't exist seems like a positive to society in that it is providing a service that is actively making a difference the choices people are making, providing them with value and choice. Additionally, restaurants are happy because they're getting more customers and selling more drinks.

The reduction in drunk driving is also good. I'm not sure that justifies the rest of the traffic increases. I would bet that overall it is a net benefit to society, but I am certainly less enthusiastic about ride-sharing now.
BART doesn't release the videos to the public. They do release them to the police. There are legitimate reasons not to release them to the public, including the fact that the media will sensationalize them to make BART look far more dangerous than the statistics actually reflect.

> "Uber and Lyft have reduced mass transit use and added traffic in major cities"

Could also be:
"Private automobiles have reduced mass transit use and added traffic in major cities"

I live in NYC and Uber/Lyft are a godsend. The mass transit is generally good, but not always, and the taxis way, way overcharge.

NYC has spoken about using congestion pricing, but the real problem is the private automobiles and limousines, not Uber/Lyft.
> A financially rational person would consider buying a house if the P/R ratio is 15 or lower.

How does one go about calculating that? Or reading someone else's calculations? For real estate prices I can check out the Case-Shiller, for P/R I got nothing.
Can you use the typical approaches to classification? You can define a continuous error function and perform back-propagation using that. If you look at something like Kaggle then deep learning approaches tend to dominate classification challenges just as much as they do regression ones.
Wouldn't it be more accurate to say they don't give special treatment to home owners over renters? Sounds more fair to me.

In the UK drunk driving is a big social no-no, however this has led to country pubs really struggling and many going out of business. If uber or some similar easy to use taxi was available where I lived I'd be quite happy to pay to go to them

Instead it means more and more people drink at home, rather than out, actually leading to increased alcohol consumption!

Automated taxis will make such a change to the fabric of life in the country, I can't wait.
I would say no, you'd want the whole disk to fail then so you can just replace it vs. it getting smaller over time, which would make capacity planning pretty complex.
You could run your own off of a cheap VPS (e.g. DO, Linode, Vultr, etc.), or your home router if it has that ability (e.g. openWRT). This is getting to be ridiculous.
The article is wrong or misleading in a number of respects. For instance, OpenMPI doesn't define the language interfaces -- the MPI standard does. It talks about "no aliasing of memory" -- the rules actually concern "storage association" -- and then claims Fortran passes by reference, misunderstanding the whole thing. The Benchmarks Game is pretty useless generally, but it's clearly useless to compare supposed language speed by using two different compilers anyway.
I don't mean to knock Fortran.
$10-15 for a drink? Of liquid gold?
I wouldn't call not giving special privileges to home owners over renters unfriendly, I'd call it neutral and fair.

why the down votes?
Some people refuse to participate in any meaningful way to the current economic human web. It seems that this generally drives these people to live a life of isolation (usually in the forests of the PNW or SE). I know a few such people, but I'm not convinced that their critique is working out the way they expected.

So your point is sound: it's up to each of us to decide how to participate and where to draw various lines.

Anyone know of a similar binary translator for RISC-V to ARM?
Oh My Bad, corrected! Thanks for reporting.
Absolutely. It uses T-Mobile's network most of the time and T-Mobile has improved a lot in the past few years. Sprint and US Cellular are good fallbacks for rural areas.

Another perk is unlimited international data roaming at the same price as regular data, and at decent speeds too.

Billing is simple, support is great. The one downside is data is a bit on the expensive side. But since you actually pay per GB, the GBs are yours. There are no arbitrary limits or throttling that I'm aware of, tethering is allowed, etc. Also you don't have to predict your usage ahead of time to choose a plan. You only pay for what you use no matter how much or how little.

Trains and busses in my area are standing room only for six hours a day. taking some load off those systems so they can preserve what quality of service they have left is beneficial as far as I'm concerned. Using Lyft line when possible helps alleviate congestion too.

OP here: In Switzerland you can also deduct interest on a mortage but the interest is like <1%.

> Why you can't deduct interest on credit cards or auto loans, but you can on mortgage interest, beats the hell out of me?

That sounds logical to me as well. In a way, a house is just a huge "consumer credit".

That article on "What is Nix and .. " does not contain the words "Nix is a..." A quick read gave a vague sense that it was about installs and file paths so maybe something package-related? Nothing definite.

The class of people that can pay $40 for an uber ride home right to their door is entirely different from the class of people who would wait 15 minutes out in the elements to pay $2 for a ride that would take them within a 10 minute walk of their home.

I don't really consider myself an uber or a bus person... I drive myself around most of the time and just choose not to drink too much when I am out.

But I have never shared an uber with anybody who I regularly take public transit with.

And i have never shared a public transit ride with anybody who I regularly share an uber ride home with.

All I am getting at is I do not believe that Uber is stealing away too many people from the bus system at least where I reside.

I'd credit your interpretation rather than what I make it sound like.
if you imagine that they'll transition to all electric self driving cars, it would only be a net benefit right?

the transactions are still happening, in increasing volume, and the environment won't be more adversely affected

just because there might be congestion isn't a negative
A real hustler, I guess would buy a quality kit from UI8 and wing it with that. Looking really pro while spending a few bucks.

I’m not sure what this is...
Probably more like people wouldn’t go out to a cross-town bar or restaurant if they couldn’t take a taxi or lyft/uber to get there. For example, if mass transit is prohibitive (two buses at 1 am) and they don’t want to drive drunk.

Easy access to quick transportation is a general economic benefit for everyone. That’s not support for uber or lyft specifically, but if people can easily get around town, they’re more likely to make extra trips to bars, restaurants, shows, etc. where they may have otherwise considered just staying home.
Replace [BART] with Police and [police] with [congress]:

"The Police doesn't release the videos to the public. They do release them to Congress. There are legitimate reasons not to release them to the public, including the fact that the media will sensationalize them to make the Police look far more dangerous than the statistics actually reflect."

Would you still want videos withheld from the public?

After all, BART is a public agency. We are not babies who need to be protected by The Master Director because we are "the lowly citizen." That's not how it works in America.

That's the reason why Switzerland has such a high per capita debt [1]. You can deduct your interest payments from the tax payments. So there is an interest to stay indebted for homeowners. My parents own a house that they inherited from my grandparents including a debt but both wouldn't pay off the mortgage because of tax reasons.

> Does this mean that, for example, people are not going to get groceries

Unlikely. Most trips are to bars, parties and restaurants.

The point about car ownership is really just refuting the belief that ridesharing leads to an immediate decrease in car ownership. Overall the study tries to focus on VMT as the more important metric, since you could sell your car and switch to ridesharing and still end up with greater VMT.
Some of the points brought up here are in fact correct, mainly legacy, testing, and awesome compilers tuned for supercomputers. However, a lot of these "why fortran" articles (on both sides) I find are written by people who don't dabble enough on both sides of the fence, and are ignorant of what either side offers. For example, numpy implements a lot of the stuff from fortran the author listed, like broadcasting operations across arbitrarily shaped arrays, striding and negative indices, etc, not to mention the scipy library that contains leagues of the famous fortran codes...you get all that with a quick and easy to prototype language for the stuff that isn't bottle neck.

Another issue is computational people think C++ is about OOP, ffs, what a way to sell C++ short and ignore the more significant tool C++ brings to the table: generic programming. Whenever I talk to my computational colleagues, they talk about "C++ and OOP" as if they are two peas in a pod; what if I told you you didn't need to use inheritance to leverage the best of what C++ offers (what if I told you you didn't need inheritance to even leverage OOP!?). Templates have the potential to be a powerhouse for performance in codes I feel, just no one in the computational side has leveraged them because they quite simply don't understand it.

The same sort of thing is true for cs people and their critique of Fortran usage, but I'll leave scathing comments on one of those stories that are shared here.
I'm referring to the US as this is specifically a US problem. Our best system New York's MTA has frequent outages. While the trains are new the tracks and switches are decaying at an incredible rate.

My current city, Miami, the city is looking at reducing mass transit service [0]. After already approving a 1-cent tax to expand service MDTA reneged and used the increase to pay for existing issues (fair enough, it needed fixing). Now, we're all paying slight more for a still terrible system.

At this point I think the solution just may have to come from the open market, obviously the govt run entity is unable/unwilling to do the job.

I thought so too initially, but I've since grown to like the new simple flat S design. Humans in general are probably opposed to changes to things they've grown accustomed to, so naturally it takes a while to adjust to new stuff.

Although traveling as a whole is more unpleasant in many ways, modern lie flat business class seating is actually quite a bit more comfortable for long haul travel than first class travel in the 747 originally was. (There was a first class lounge on the upper deck to be sure but that didn't last all that long.)

Of course, coach is generally both tighter seating and generally has fewer empty seats than it once did.
This is also what keeps me away from Guix. I get that there are third-party repos with non-free software, but using a fringe package of a fringe packager is too far for me.

There’s no good choice here: Nix package definitions and tools are inscrutable and user-hostile; and the alternative Guix is burden with GNU/free software zealotry and GPL.

A somewhat comparable third option is Habitat, from Chef. It also has a pure build system, a package source, and pure, discrete environments. But it’s also got a bunch of service orchestration parts...

Hopefully the Nix redesign will make the tools more palatable for mortals.
> Uber switched from Postgres to MySql.

really uber should not taken as an example, especially since they failed so hard with their databases in the past.

(I'm a Postgres fan, yes, but I think that there a valid reasons to migrate to MySQL (there are several other companies who use mysql, etc but Uber's stuff is just plain FUD))

This is an exceptionally US-centric study (which is fine) which all kind of centres around the atrocious state of US mass transit.

I'm sure Uber has had an impact of how people get around in other countries, but I would avoid taking this study and drawing overarching conclusions on it, like that mass transit has the same drawbacks at US does.

Which is still stupid, because vending machines have had ways to return change for decades. It's just bad design.

You can still get bigger seats in non coach classes. The market wants cheap tickets not comfort which is why the airlines keeps shrinking the seats.
Wow, that's bullshit.
Slightly off-topic, but what's your preferred stack for developing data-intensive applications that involve a lot of preprocessing, heavy statistics and machine learning plus a web front-end?

Julia sounds quite appealing as a replacement for MATLAB or R with some Dylan-like semantics plus types and really efficient code generation on LLVM. I wish the Racket - Chez merger lead to something that targeted LLVM to be able to do front-end and back-end stuff using Scheme.

A JVM-centric stack is one of my preferred alternatives. Clojure is great for data preprocessing and manipulation, plus ClojureScript for coding all front-end. Datomic, core.spec, core.logic, anglican, plumatic.plumbing just to name a few are a joy to use. Then there's Scala, which is also a great asset, and tons of fantastic Java / Scala libraries like Stanford NLP, Markov Logic Networks (Tuffy, RockIT...), Factorie, Deeplearning4j, etc. Sadly, Scala-Clojure interop is not very good.

Python is the other obvious option, with tons of good libraries, including a fantastic data analysis ecosystem built around NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib and Pandas. Plus most deep learning libraries targeting Python first. I just feel the language doesn't scale that well, although things like Numba or Cython help.
Pretty typical price range for a cocktail in a major (or even not so major) city. Even a beer is, outside of happy hour prices, getting near $10 with tip.
4 questions:

1. Why email-gate it? With so many UI kits out there, I won't give my email just to try another one.

2. What are you going to do with my email address, were I to sign up?

3. Can this be used via some kind of package manager? I would recommend this, as I wouldn't use anything that I have to manually download and install updates for.

4. I'm a little confused by the marketing — what makes this "for hustlers"?

Anyway, congrats on shipping!
In most 'city' markets, beers tend to be $6, drinks tend to be $10. Add tip and you are at $12. Go to a higher end bar, you are at $15.
I seriously wonder how index funds have affected the volatility of the stock market. The stock market has been growing independent of popular sentiment or trust in growth, which makes me wonder if the growth is driven by a massive number of people automating their investments through index funds and just forgetting about it.
I have never been happier or more productive under any other system than the one you described. We paired the agile stuff down to _just_ stuff we needed. Planning was bucketing things into a super coarse High/Medium/Low priority, and then off we'd go. We'd still give a quick estimation, but that was primarily used as a tool to gauge if anyone had "Thar be dragons" level hesitations about the feature.

The opposite end of the spectrum is where I'm at now. Where planning meetings last _hours_ and are mostly an exercise in squabbling over how we're going to get the points to agree with the TPMs completely arbitrary projected view of how things should go which was somehow divined before actually talking to any of the developers.

Yeah Switzerland is great as long as you don't have children. Once you get a child, well, you're out of luck. Childcare in Switzerland is the craziest expense I've seen in my life, where having your kid looked after for 5 days a week will cost you 2-2,5k CHF / USD per month! And if you have a second child, they might give you 10% discount. So around 4,5k USD per month for 2 kids. It's madness!

Besides that, you will need to leave your shared apartment and go looking for one with at least 4 rooms. That'll easily cost you 2.5k-3.5k per month.

So while I agree that Switzerland is a nice place to be while 20-30, after that age it hugely depends on your situation. Got 2 kids and know some German? You might actually be better off in Germany.

Sorry, I wasn't specific. My comment mostly applies to the quantum mechanics (QM) community, rather than molecular dynamics. In QM, many people still run Gaussian/GAMESS/ADF/MolCAS/MolPro/Dalton, which are all Fortran (or majority Fortran). And most are Fortran 90 or earlier.

My background is in QM, so I guess that's my bias showing through :)
The one thing that helps I think is writing of codes that are open source. Yes, it's a sticky point regarding getting funding, but in that imaginary world where you are funded well, transitioning to open codes (save the things that are...export controlled) would be beneficial for all of us.

I hate how I can't publish easily on modifications I make to our PIC code because it isn't open source; eventually I'm planning to switch to another code (and might implement a needed solver for it) just for the sake of my publications.
Exactly. No matter how good an idea is, if people in the team are sabotaging it because they don't like it you'll have a bad time. A variation on Patton's quote: A mediocre plan executed well is better than a great plan executed poorly.
In the past, I have asked family, friends, and coworkers for their recommendations... in addition to looking online at count and average of reviews.

I also search on the internet to find out if there are problems with the particular model number of product line I'm looking into. (I do the same for buying cars.) Look for product recalls, too.

Best of luck!
I don’t think Uber’s model is sustainable with human drivers.

Im pretty sure their plan from was to build a large enough user base to be in a leading position to switch to robotaxis as soon as they are available and I think that’s what many of their backers are funding.

With robotaxis being likely about 5 year or so from being approved in major metropolitan areas without any shenanigans from the cab cartels Uber can afford to bleed money until then and then just switch.

Audi is releasing L4 cars in Europe this year which will allow you to take the back seat during traffic.

While I don’t think anyone will be releasing L5 before 2020 I wouldn’t bet against that for a 2022-2023 time frame.

Don’t get me wrong I dislike Uber and AirB&B with passion for their predatory practices but I also don’t like cartels the cab and car hire companies in London had a decade
