> So it's not OK for GT to produce random gibberish

Thankfully, it doesn't in most cases. If it were random, we wouldn't be able to understand it (please, don't ask anything that starts with "how do you know...?". I know. Let's drop that angle, please!) The chance of all of us understanding roughly the same idea from random gibberish is effectively zero. Hence, it's not random gibberish.
I tried getting into F# and for someone not running on Windows without knowledge of the CLR and .NET ecosystem its a hard sell.
Management daydreaming. In reality there are 2 possibilities: the startup is either successful or it's not. In the former case, he'll hire his own better lawyers and bury their claim. In the latter, it's not worth their time. As long as you're not using their equipment and don't give them a way to prove you were using their time, they won't have a leg to stand on to make that claim (even if your employment contract has language that looks scary to an engineer with no legal background).
Thanks for this, great explanation(and as a F# looks fair). I'll try out ReasonML one of these weekends, thank you.
Forget religion and consider that the only thing you know for sure is that you exist, because your subjective experience is occurring right now.

This documentary is great, I thought I knew the Tetris story, but this filled in every blank.

I played the hell out of Tetris on the Nintendo DS, but I just can't play it on a touchscreen unfortunately - I do wish I could play it on the way to work, but you just can't get the speed and reliability you get with clicky buttons.

Fun fact: Tetris has been shown to help with mental burdens such as anxiety, PTSD, and intrusive thoughts, and anecdotally I have found this to be true.
I'd argue that we and our minds have enough weaknesses in comparison to machines, that it is not fortunate that we aren't more like machines. We'd be far less vulnerable to making the kinds of mistakes that only human minds can make.
I mean this bit:

This inspired us to ask the following question: Can we translate between a language pair which the system has never seen before? An example of this would be translations between Korean and Japanese where Korean⇄Japanese examples were not shown to the system. Impressively, the answer is yes — it can generate reasonable Korean⇄Japanese translations, even though it has never been taught to do so. We call this “zero-shot” translation, shown by the yellow dotted lines in the animation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time this type of transfer learning has worked in Machine Translation.

Because what they claim to do is really out there- it is something that not even humans can do. If they could actually do it then they would have solved machine translation for real.

And they haven't - like I say above, they seem to have misinterpreted a model of English-to-many (other languages) as an interlingua. And it's not even a very good model of English-to-many.

So the difference between hype and reality is astronomic and I feel very well justified to say what I say.

Tricks Amazon Sellers Are Using
Years ago I discovered a bit of a trick for getting through customs in Jakarta in about 5 mins (I was travelling there a lot for work). However, what I always ended up with was standing around for about 15-20 minutes for my bags to be unloaded, as even the priority baggage was rather slow off the plane.

For sure. I see a lot of leafs around town and around the neighborhood. Its an unapologetic econobox. No problem with that. If I had to drive 101 upstream everyday, I'd go get a cheap used leaf in a heartbeat.

I am interested to see that this seems to be the way various predators have solved the problem, I take it that unlike the direction our camera technology is going (which is to throw more software at the problem), it was most economical to use a lot of tiny neck muscle adjustments (no Moore's law for predator brains, to be fair, so it might have tied up a lot of neurons to do the same in software).
I know this is going to sound bullshit but hear me out. I agree with you, because when I took DMT it really felt like for the first time in my life, my brain had been completely reset. I had to re-remember absolutely everything, including the fact that i existed. This doesn't happen when you wake up, instead it feels like you just appeared in the real world, having just recently experienced things in dreams that you may or may not remember.

DMT was not fun, also
I agree. If you're buying anything more expensive than the $13k Nissan Versa, you're buying features you don't need. So saying people don't need an electric car so there's no point in buying them is kind of a silly statement.

Was this recently? Things change really fast, within the last year or so we got ionide and core clr support. I've read of people preferring the experience of F# in VSCode these days.

Just a few weeks ago I got an F# project with TensorFlowSharp up and running on OSX in VSCode with the ionide extension. It JustWorked™.

In any case, I'd suggest you give it a crack again if you are interested. The experience has improved greatly and the tooling seems pretty great now on Linux/OSX. I've been following it for 3-4 years though, so I certainly understand how it would seem like a non-starter in the recent past.

Hah, I just noticed that you consult to a tjänstepension company!

My experience with MV on the phone is that they won't answer any specific questions about the rules. According to some migration attorneys I spoke with, many of the rules are undefined and they make them up as they go. Did you see the one about the guy who was deported for not taking _unpaid_ vacation? Try to find _that_ requirement on lagen.nu ;)

Everywhere I've worked and everywhere I've interviewed with in the last 2 years has had employees get deported. In all cases, they (the companies) claim that the information that they got from the big HR consultancies and from Migrationsverket was faulty, and they're paying the price now. I'm not saying that it's okay to break the rules, but I will say that if breaking them accidentally is so common, something is wrong with the system.

Every job offer I've ever received in Sweden (5) has been illegal on the first pass, violating various requirements of work visas. Violations are typically things like tjänstepension not starting until after the 6 month trial period. The most common is that the job ad was only posted on LinkedIn and Indeed, but not on Arbetsförmedlingen.

Two of my friends got hit because their employer insurance plans didn't become "active" until their second day at work. You know, those plans that your employer takes out on your behalf and you can't even see if they exist, let alone when they started? So it goes.

In 2014 I would have agreed strongly with "among the simplest, most transparent and least arbitrary in the world", but in 2018 I would add the caveat "but worse than most of Europe."
Article 42:

> Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment.

Article 43:

I've only read interpretations of said guidance from the ICO, DPN, and DPC but they are exactly what you would expect from those two articles.
That was a great video! Thank you!
The problem is more about customers and their habits. Cars are more expensive and people make less money.

The business model for selling new cars is about leases and long loans — most new car loans are 60 months or longer. The increased capital cost of an EV is a barrier for the people selling the car, as consumers give zero shits about TCO.

There are also many many segments where EV are a bad idea. People who rent, people who live in cold places, people who travel for road trips. It’s a complex sale, and the people can do the math to figure out the TCO can also figure out that a Honda Accord has a lower TCO with less risk. Even the Tesla risk factor is high — the car may last 10 years, but the company has a significant chance of being gone.

You don't have to restrict yourself to betterC to use manual memory management. BetterC is mainly targetted at embedded programming and to port components of existing C applications. Malloc vs. GC vs. stdx-allocator is a separate topic, though betterC doesn't link with the GC by default.
I still wonder whether it is better to quit cold turkey or to struggle on in the same field (senior competitions, coaching etc).

As a chess master I am blessed and cursed with something that I can play at a reasonably high level until old age while watching my skills slowly yet surely decline.

At age 40+ you realize that you will not be really good at anything you start learning from ground zero.

So the only answer to improving at an older age is MU. Just set aside your competitiveness and enjoy the occasional break from mediocrity.

Interesting. Made me think of how now in Australia we have so much solar installed that wholesale electric spot pricing can go $10k+/MWh negative during some parts of the day. Wondering if one day they'll be willing to pay consumer electric sinks... EV charging is perfect.

I ran all of my Advent of Code[0] solutions in Node.js - there's nothing specific really about running a ReasonML app in Node.js vs the browser. Except you don't need a module bundler for the former. :)

I've also been slowly working on a small CLI app using ReasonML, ReasonReact and react-blessed.

There definitely is a dearth of ReasonML server-side examples, libraries and frameworks, though - especially compared to all the front-end chatter. bs-express[1] is actually quite nice, but hasn't seen much attention from the larger community. I would highly recommend it if it's something you're interested in pursuing.

Great stuff! I've gotten pretty familiar with the way LLVM looks since Julia's `@code_llvm` in front of any function spits out the IR, which is something that can be useful to learn what's going on and debug performance. I agree that it's readily human readible. I hope to see a direct interface for adding passes to Julia in the near future.

Regarding, 'which is compounded by the nature of the former', the argument from the comment seems to be that creating a layer of something makes things worse, this is not necessarily the case. Abstraction layers are one of the most powerful and reliable tools in software engineering. For instance, I would much rather write a layer of C++ code that wraps assembly code. Others can choose to create layers over C++ and so on, it's all good.
I have a question about the retpoline code.

Make multiple connections to the database. A transaction is at the "scope" of a connection anyway, and I don't think there are any useful semantics for multiple SQL statements being executed in parallel in a single transaction anyway, so it's likely Postgres is trying to save you from yourself here.

I'll agree that the PHP Postgres API appears to be very low-level, and the fact that it does not offer callback support may be due to the fact that PHP doesn't have a standard event loop to plug into. There may be higher-level libraries that do better here. (I don't know much about PHP.) Postgres is perfectly usable in an async manner from other languages, however.

> > The most ironic part is that so many restrictions and problems are likely to provoke people to rely on whatever option happens to work, which might not be the best/safest one

> Programs written in Rust are empirically safer than programs written in C or C++.

But Rust defines safety as being safe from the kinds of errors that the Rust compiler is capable of making one safe from (buffer overflows, race conditions, undefined behaviour, etc).

If one if distracted by trying to satisfy the borrow checker, they might overlook a logical error. People have limited concentration, patience and perseverance and usually have to work to deadlines.

Rust is great for writing high-performance code, or code that needs to be parallelised within a single process. However if performance is not a concern then a statically typed language with a GC is usually a better choice.
