Hello everyone.

Since EOS came out it has been fiercely suggested that it will be the killer of Etherieum. Therefore, as someone interested in Blockchain I feel the need to learning it so to achieve a competitive edge. I have found this tutorial explaining the very basics .. I hope it can be useful to someone else but its just one. Do you have any suggestions where might be a good place to start learning EOS development?
Isn't it known as weak typing? When a type system allows to break its soundness.

Dinosaurs were not mammals. The jury is still out on whether they were warm blooded (but most people agree that not quite as warm-blooded as mammals). The upper limit on size (according to the article) is defined by food availability and energy consumption, so I would guess food was simply more plentiful, or their energy demands were lower (due to lower core temperature). Thus they grew bigger.
To be honest, after reading this article, I don't really have more information why you'd want to use an unsound type system at all.

If you have a sound type system, it's harder to write code but the compiler and IDE can infer useful invariants and give you guidance in return.

If you have no type system, you're on your own with error detection, but writing code may be a lot faster.

(Though I personally think a modern language with sound types and useful type inference can solve a lot of the tedium as well)

If you have an unsound type system you get the worst of both worlds: You have the cognitive overhead of a typed language but at the same time don't get any of the guarantees and invariants.

Agreed. My wife is going through this now, and the primary issue is the uncertainty around it all. Nobody can tell her what her future holds, just that there's a very high likelihood that 'success' will be fleeting and this won't be our last series of chemo.

I may be misunderstanding what the author proposes, but if the threat of cancer was reduced to the physiological impacts of dormant tumors, I'm pretty sure we would consider that a win.
I'm curious, given Godels incompleteness theory, isn't it impossible to have both soundness and completeness in the same language?

Many things in the computer science fields are wrong. If people want to have blockchain and turn one security problem into six, I won’t stop them.

Let us synchronize ALL of the computers, while we’re at it.

Also, suddenly cryptography and computers are cool :)
Even that's the easy case. Let's say you found out that they person was accused of groping a child, but the person was found not guilty. Would you hire then? My guess is not, if you had viable options.
It's psychosomatic in that people think it's cutting gluten that is making them feel better - when in fact it may be simply reducing carb intake that is the primary cause.

It's much like how I observe folks on Atkins where it really works - but the magic isn't so much the ketosis itself - they are just unknowingly drastically reducing calorie intake. The real "body hack" of any diet is the one on the brain, imo.
> Not because it’s nice to have a type that "foo" satisfies and not "bar", but because there is actual code out there that does this, today. Same for structural typing (TypeScript would be absolute horror to interface with existing code without it).

That's in the line of Erlang's Dialyzer (one of the earliest "gradual typing" tools I know of), which also had to contend with actually being useful and being able to type actual usage patterns of existing years-old codebases..
Also not true.

9.6 is supported and the next release (scheduled soon) will support 10. Those changes will eventually end up in 12.

I'm not sure what you mean by somewhat equivalent. Both are primarily asynchronous multimaster approaches.
Alternatively, if you can’t or don’t want children of your own. You can leverage the power of other people’s children. Sounds creepy but hear me out: it’s either your niece or nephew or a family friends’ kids. I am good friends with an older couple and I go to the daughter’s softball games once in a while. I’m a guy so it doesn’t look right so I try not to overdo it, but when she does well I feel like a proud parent and when she does poorly I feel bad. Not as intense as what her parents must feel but I prefer less intensity in my emotions. Which is why I had a vasectomy at age 29 but I digress.
I don't think it's just about novelty here (though as said, chasing the new shiny thing seems to play a large role none the less), but also because:

1. Developers want their CV/resume to look good for the next job, and the best way to do that is to have a bunch of fancy technologies and frameworks on it. Going for what's simple and works best is great, but unfortunately not something recruiters (especially at large tech companies) care much about.

2. They're used to that one language or framework, and hence think every single problem under the sun should be solved with it. It's the old 'when all you have is a hammer' issue, and endemic in every company from the small agency to the large tech corporation.
The literalist reading of an English language Bible always seemed a bit surreal to me.
Based on your previous reply I thought that the lack of apps that require location was due to Apple’s review process and not the fact that the “Never” button can’t be disabled.

They used to be a lot more focused on interviews, but then Stripe bought them and they somewhat shifted focus a little, but the interviews are still there.

I guess the "right" thing to do now would be to add your product there? https://www.indiehackers.com/products

Yes. I'm not sure that is a good thing for the consumer though, and has led to the market being flooded by rubbish. It is one thing to produce a game. Another, to produce a good game.
> So that means that the synchronization cost would only be paid when making a new copy of the Arc and releasing each of those.

Yes. An interesting note here is that due to Rust's ubiquitous use of references there will be little extraneous refcounting traffic unlike systems like e.g. Python where `a = b` might trigger a refcount increase. I think it was Armin Ronacher (mitsuhiko) who made that observation a few weeks back, possibly on twitter?
It is a cliche of all software development, and very true in my experience.
Yes I notice if I'm distracted it seems to go away. But unfortunately this only happens if I happen to be outside, surrounded by traffic. As soon as I'm indoors (esp. at home, in the evenings) it comes back & it's hard to think about anything else.
Gödel's incompleteness is for proof systems for languages which contain enough arithmetic to express its own syntax. Lots of things don't go this far - first order predicate logic is sound and complete, for example (see Gödel's completeness theorem(!)).
It bothers me that so many otherwise intelligent managers will opt for cheaper labor with higher turnover and oftentimes worse efficiency.... to save money. I just don’t understand how all the micro-inefficiencies or lack of experience can be made up for with maybe another 10 - 15 hours / week. Maybe if a lot of your technical problems are due to nobody young or old having deep knowledge (read: new language and platform) but we all know that new stuff doesn’t skip a generation of knowledge - it’s built on the foundations of what works previously and tries to throw away what is not relevant anymore.

I can understand hiring simply smarter people though in lieu of experience. It’s just that so many things I’ve lost efficiency on would not have been improved with mere smarts, so only raw, direct experience could ever get past it.
The deal always takes way more work than the startup expected, and ends up delivering way less benefit. The best solution, when possible, is not to do custom deals at all, but for one of the parties to have an API that the other uses.

E.g. the App Store, vs the custom deals startups used to have to make to get their applications on phones.
I thought since they said a fine "up to X" it would mean that X was the upper boundary. So you could certainly be fined a lot less than $10 million.
I read the article seems someone has put effort. However, I am really looking forward to seeing the next part as this is really just the fundamentals.

Good article and I agree with most points, however I am not sure I like the articles tone. Maybe I am a precious butterfly but it was a bit "all-knowing", with too much emphasis on how you save the day. I am sure your phone will start ringing after publications too :) Thanks anyway though, I read it :)

Godel's theorem only applies to proof systems that can encode basic arithmetic, which most type systems cannot.

I feel similarly dissatisfied with the explanations but, given the current framework, they're actually the simplest possible models that could work. The rest of physics and the many observations that need to be consistent with it are just that elaborate.

I just started shopping for term life insurance recently and have an application that was emailed to me by a local agent. It looks very much like this one (http://www.adkissoninsurance.com/forms/grangelifeapp.pdf), EXCEPT someone has removed the Notice of Information Practices at the top

Page 5 contains the authorization details.

Here's what page 5 looks like on my application - https://imgur.com/a/zk9ZQ (also Grange)

This is from a top tier life insurance provider, who knows what kind of shenanigans are going on out in the wild.

Edit: Just sent an email to my agent asking for a copy of that Notice of Information Practices doc, we'll see what happens lol.
Literally no engineers were allocated to the issue and majority of the project.

20% of the time I work on novel unforseeable issues. R&D and future tech stuff.

80% of the time its culture, professionalism, and generally "are you fucking serious" issues.

I've dealt with literally every situation you've described however. Just because this particular reason was that there were no engineers, you could swap in any other situation and still have a true story.

1. The snippet you're quoting is about marine mammals

2. Dinosaurs were not aquatic

3. The biggest aquatic reptiles were much smaller than modern whales (plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs topped up around 15m long and 2 tons, which is 2x the length but 1/3rd the weight of a male Orca and nowhere near large whale league)

4. Dinosaurs weren't necessarily homeotherms and may have thus had a larger (but lower) range of efficiency

5. As the snippet notes the upper bound has to do with food limitations, and large sauropods largely evolved ways to mow down ridiculous surfaces (and thus amounts of food), which could have combined with higher plant growth/density from higher O2 levels to put a higher cap on food issues
Also, average ambient temperatures in the Jurassic were significantly higher than today - up to 8C warmer according to some estimates, and even higher in the Cretaceous.

Warm blood was less of a requirement for dinosaurs than it would be today.

I don't understand how mammalian evolution worked through this period. Temperatures rose even further after the KT crash, so there would be no evolutionary benefit to being warm blooded. And yet - here we are.
The problem is P&~Q has no meaning outside one's imagination.
>It is, based on all conventional historical sources, originating around the 15th century or so with the city states of Italy.<

The parent comment was speaking of “capitalism” as an euphemism for “wage slavery”, not in the classical sense of capitalism as defined by economics i.e. private ownership of the means of production. In that comment, payment for services i.e. wages is hardly “Western”, nor invented in the 15th century CE.

>Which is irrelevant.<

It is relevant because Japan imported many things from China, including the Kanji writing system, culture, mercantilism, systems of government etc.
I feel like the idea of “living through” one’s kids has a lot of negative connotations——pushing them to spend hours a day on something they hate, etc. But there is absolutely something to be said for being able to see the world through your kid’s eyes. They get so excited about things that are totally mundane to adults. (My one year old yesterday had to stop and examine each little hole in the sidewalk as we walked.) That wonder at the world is certainly infectious.

This was a great example of design hindering interpretation. The graph’s diagonal/diamond shape made legibility much harder. A traditionally oriented graph would have been trivial to read and correlation more obvious.
The objection is that you have 5 major world religions to choose from, there could be 1,000 to 1,000,000 minor religions to choose from, the gatekeeper of heaven might be selecting only non-believers who non-believe for the right reason, the gatekeeper of heaven might have an even more arbitrary or unpredictable criteria than laid out by your geographically predetermined choice of religion. The religion could represent actual spiritual phenomenon, but the entities could have lied about who they are or what's to be expected. Not to mention that we could be a random occurrence of life in a universe created for a set of aliens we could never meet. The wager is flawed because you have to consider a near infinite number of evidence-less hypothesis about getting to heaven, which might not exist or might not even have a gatekeeper.

Have you applied for term life insurance in the last ten years? Based on what I'm reading in an application from Grange, you may be able to revoke any authorization through the insurance provider. It may nullify your policy though.

It affects peak efficiency of enzymatic reactions, but that's a tradeoff because now the species has to maintain internal temperature within a narrow band or they die. A common alternative is to allow more fluctuation of core temperature at the cost of a lower overall efficiency. That's basically mammals and birds versus reptiles and fishes.

Whilst a VPN is an important and arguably now necessary way to protect yourself on the internet, it's use in practice is very far from a sliver bullet. Ignoring the somewhat inevitable problems of latency and bandwidth - much of the internet appears hostile to VPNs. A significant number or sites either don't work at all, or are a pain to use.

For example

* On NordVPN through US servers you can't access Amazon (!) Although through Canadian servers you are ok.

* Costco, Apple store, Business Insider, YouTube, google, netflex, dell, consumer reports, ebay - either don't work, or are a pain to make work

* On PureVPN you can't send email - until you have your domain whitelisted

* On PureVPN it's a crap shoot if you get a connection

More detail on experiences with PureVPN and NordVPN are here..

Imagine an art-free world. Everything would be as functional and utilitarian as possible, with zero design and decoration.

Our world looks and sounds nothing like that. We put an incredible amount of effort into aesthetics. Virtually nothing is 100% utilitarian. Shape, colour, texture, and sound are all considered essential.

None of that has direct survival value, but it clearly has such deep emotional benefits that most people would find it very hard to be happy or functional in a purely utilitarian world.
The replies to this don't look correct so here's my take:

P(R) = Probability of rain in Seattle
P(F) = Probability of three friends saying it's raining in Seattle

P(F) = P(F|R)*P(R) + P(F|R')*(1-P(R))
= (8/27)*P(R) + (1/27)*(1-P(R))
= (7/27)*P(R) + (1/27)

P(R|F) = (P(F|R)*P(R))/P(F)
= [(8/27)*P(R)] / [(7/27)*P(R) + (1/27)]
= 8*P(R) / (7*P(R) + 1)

So, for instance, if the true probability of rain in Seattle is 50%, the probability of it raining in Seattle given our three friends are saying that it is raining in Seattle is 4/4.5 = 89%

Do you need an ISP? How about a preconfigured router / modem that uses a privacy-minded DNS + VPS? My parents and most of my friends for example wouldn't know how to do any of that.
