Bit of a late reply, sorry, but I didn't mean that nihilism was the answer. I just meant that humans aren't well equipped, emotionally, to deal with the universe at scales too different from those at which we evolved.

You just can't afford to 'zoom out' too far. Focus on immediate small scale things, watch a beautiful sunset, hug your kids, ride a motorbike, eat your favourite meal. Focus on near-term goals like "bootstrap my company" or "reach my fitness goals". Worry about little problems that you can solve. Make someone smile. Smell the roses.

You can stay intellectually aware of the fact that we're transient pond scum on the surface of a space rock in an infinite, arbitrary universe. Just don't dwell on it.

We’re having such a drive in the UK, and my wife is working on the project. It’s called 100,000 genomes and aims to sequence the whole genome of 70,000 patients with rare disease or cancer (the other 30,000 genomes are from tumors), and their families. The ethics of consent and the possibility of incidental findings are all being taken into account.
That's not really fair at all; given that accounting for size differences really barely nudges the needle - and grey money is likely a factor in US elections too.

Triplebyte (YC S15) Is Hiring a Technical Manager
Triplebyte evaluates the technical skills of engineers and uses the data to match them with companies.

We’ve built and trained a team of engineers to be Triplebyte Technical Interviewers. We train them on our technical interviewing practices and software for one week in our office and then they work remotely doing technical interviews.

We’re growing this interviewing team and we’re looking for an engineer to be the lead for this. The role involves:

* Screening applicants who want to be a Triplebyte Technical Interviewer.
* Building software (we’ve built all of our own custom software for running technical interviews and training interviewers).
* Managing the Technical Interviewers once they’re active (doing 1on1’s, reviewing their performance, etc).
* Internal product/project management. You’ll have autonomy to set your own priorities for scaling the team and will be responsible for making it happen.

It’s a great generalist role for an engineer who wants to do more than just coding (you do need to have good, broad knowledge across technical areas e.g. CS, back-end web, etc). You also learn a lot about hiring as you’ll get a birds eye perspective of how companies do good and bad jobs of it.

It’s the ideal role for someone that has previously founded a company or wants to in the future. You'll build a really useful set of practical skills doing this. You’ll also be working directly with our founding team who are all experienced founders (Harj previously cofounded Auctomatic and was the first YC partner brought on by the founders, Ammon and Guillaume founded and sold Socialcam for $60m to Autodesk).

Here’s a formal job description and link to apply: https://jobs.lever.co/triplebyte/58480a6d-8eae-4e64-92f0-7d2...

Oddly, this is something that we have lost in modern times, because xenon (electronic) strobes don't throw enough infrared to be worthwhile, and most of the infrared film stocks were actually originally designed for the military to use for spotting tanks and other camoflauged installations. You can still put an IR-pass filter over a xenon strobe and shoot with an IR-modified camera but it is not as easy nor as effective as purpose-built film+lighting.

The Second World used to be the communist block [1] but not necessarily meaning that it was worse off than the First one. Western Europe had many communist/socialist parties looking forward to implementing a socialist kind society. They were thinking about it as an improvement.

About the origin of those terms see [2].

The Second World term was seldom used in Europe even during the 70s as far as I can remember. There is no more second world now. We jump straight from first to third world. It feels sadly right if we agree that the gap is widening.

By the way, nobody in Europe would think Russia is a third world country. It's first world.

What kind of MacBook did you use, and did you plug it in to an external display?

My 2013 15" MacBook Pro is extremely loud when plugged in to one or more external displays. Seems to be related to the fact that its fans are either off, or at 100%. Or at least have a very late, aggressive curve. It's also very loud when the CPU is constantly pegged at 20% or more, which is basically a given when running Xcode.

I can offload some things to the cloud, but I can't offload my UI and local apps, which are the things that cause the really loud noise.

When it's under a light load, it's very quiet - moreso than most non-Apple machines I've used. But under heavy load, a number of other machines seem to be much better at expelling their heat without sounding like a jet engine.

Without Capitalism we wouldn’t have anything like Facebook or Twitter. These services don’t control ‘the’ flow of information, they are entirely additive to what we had before. Arguing that we have worse options for communication now is bizarre.

So what is the non capitalist alternative? State controlled social media services? Really? That would be a better option in Romania right now?

Facebook is far from perfect, I barely use it at all because it winds me up, but it’s a fantastic Communications platform. And of course they shouldn’t be interfering like this, but it looks like they’ve been manipulated by people flagging content rather than deliberately taking a political stance. I’m sorry but this anti capitalism whining, without offering even a hint of what you think might work better, really winds me up. It’s just populist posturing.

I never talked about why a large percentage of the male population does not dance. It was something you invented and put in my mouth. It was a failure of reading comprehension on your part, and you downvoted me for it. I demand an apology.

The article was: "Why some men won't dance". (Why some male animals have tails)
My post was: "Men who are schizotypal/avoidant don't dance. Read about it to figure out if you are.". (Male cats have tails. Consider you might be a cat.)
Your response was: "He's saying all men who don't dance are schizotypal/avoidant!" ("He's saying all male animals are cats!")
I can't stress just how important (and how hard) it is to get a great source of data for airports, so kudos on the work! When building All the Flight Deals (https://alltheflightdeals.com) and BookWithMatrix (https://bookwithmatrix.com), airport data was essential.

It seems like your database covers the basics! However, timezone data and airport type/size were pretty important information for us, so we ended up getting these from:

- OpenFlights [1]: this dataset was great since it had timezone too, which was really helpful for calculating flight lengths, etc.

- OurAirports [2]: no timezone here, but the "type" and "scheduled_service" columns in this dataset are essential. "Type" lets you distinguish between small/medium/large airports, and "scheduled_service" lets you easily filter out airports without real flights (which you often might not care about).

- IATA tzmap [3]: this was used for filling in timezone data and is derived from the Geonames database.

- Random other GitHub Gist [4]: I have no idea where this data comes from, but it was surprisingly complete and has a few golden nuggets like "num_flights" and "runway_length" in addition to "timezone". The presence of a "woeid" suggests Yahoo-related origins, but it's hard to be sure.

Long story short, it'd be AWESOME to have one complete, updated database with all this data in one place, but part of the struggle is definitely having more data than just longitude/latitude.

My Opel had a definitely safer construction, IIRC the entire thing is welded together so you can't unlock the steering lock without taking apart the entire locking mechanism with a welder halfway into the motorblock.

It really depends. I have noticed this same trend recently, whereby things are accepted in other cultures because judging it would be "cultural imperialism".

It is actually very easy. I cover that in parts 3 and 4 of my series. I will answer your question, but the answer may sound a little tricky. Part of the problem is that simply in stating your question you have quite a few hidden assumptions that are natural in FP but don't take into account how an arbitrary computation can actually behave.

This is an example of a computation that is specifically tailored for functional languages, so let's instead start with something conceptually simpler for TLA, but downright impossible in FP: Plotkin's parallel or. Here you have a computation that takes two arbitrary computations, and simulates them in lockstep. [1]

Doing what you ask is certainly possible in TLA (in part 4), but that's just not how it's normally done. TLA allows you to abstract computations, i.e., extract some of their arbitrary features. As sequential computations of the kind you describe can correspond to functions and can be abstracted into function, that's exactly what you'll do in TLA+. You won't say "my computation runs an arbitrary computation over all elements of a list" (as is possible for Plotkin's or) because in order for that to make sense, that other computation must have certain features and cannot be arbitrary. In particular, it needs to behave like a function. So, what you'll write is a computation that runs something that can be represented as a function over all elements of a list. So, it will simply be:

CONSTANTS T, R (* the "type" of elements in the in/out list *)
VARIABLES in, out, f

Map ≜ ∧ in ∈ Seq(T)
∧ f ∈ [T → R]
∧ □[∧ out' = Append(out, f[Head(in)])
∧ in' = Tail(in)
∧ UNCHANGED f]_⟨f, in, out⟩

As you'll note, there are no parameters at all. Instead, we use nondeterminism, i.e., define the computation for all lists of "type" T and for all functions T -> R.

Of course, this computation is then abstracted (for use by others) simply into:

Map(list, f) ≜ [i ∈ DOMAIN list ↦ f[list[i]]]

which is how you'd normally write this in TLA+. This definition is fully polymorphic, as it's an operator, not a function. If we wanted a function instead, we need "type parameters":

CONSTANTS T, R
map[list ∈ Seq(T), f ∈ [T → R]] ≜ [i ∈ DOMAIN list ↦ f[list[i]]]

which is a proper higher-order function (but these functions are proper functions, not "functions" or computations).

In any event, f here is a function, not a computation. If for some reason you want to actually use a computation, you would need to specify more precisely what your expectations are of that computation (e.g., that it can take an argument at all). But, again, that's not how it's normally done in TLA+.

> If a solution depends first on wishing reality was different, it’s fantasy. At best a reality to realize.

What an awful mischaracterization of my suggestion. I suggest that a person change themselves as a way of influencing the people around them (e.g. stop using facebook if they think facebook has a malign influence on our culture).

If any inconvenience at all is too much inconvenience for a person to live by their principles, I would say that person doesn't have any perceptible principles at all. 'Domesticated animal' might be an apt descriptor for such a person, but it's really unfair to the class of domesticated animals because they don't have the freedom to choose anything but domestication for themselves.

Yes, he obviously cares enough to write a big blog post; he shouldn't have done that, instead he should've gotten a solicitor and gone through the proper legal channels. If he's lucky he'd get a regular one-time payment for use of the pictures. If he's really lucky those would end up a bit higher than the cost for the legal procedures.
