I think it's not just about attitude, but also about having learning as a habit.

I can't find it, but I recall an article in Science showing that Myelin production is increased when there is a continued demand for it (so Myelin production can be trained like a muscle to some degree). The higher-level interpretation was that since Myelin production is connected to brain elasticity and learning, that once you get over a initial bump of starting to pick up the habit of learning more Myelin would be produced and it would be easier to learn going forward.

Anecdotally I found that to be very true. It was always easier for me to pick up new things during the week when I kept my brain in a "learning state" on my off-days by reading books or having a stimulating discussion with friends. But who knows, that might just as well be a Placebo effect.

(Sorry for missing reference, and the unscientific jumping to conclusions)

All laws are subject to some degree of judicial interpretation. Laws are not like software code, but I would suspect much of the hysteria/uncertainty comes from programmers trying to interpret the law like software code.

That's interesting. Do you guys have to build a lot of custom tooling in TV? Are CNN's requirements particularly novel compared to other stations with live programming and remote feeds?
go.mod isn't a lock file. It doesn't contain the entire dependency tree the way other lock files do unless you choose to track, at the top level, the entire dependency tree yourself. There aren't tools to prune or update that for changes in the underlying transitive dependencies, either.

It's not a lock and from what I gather from Russ not intended to be.

The solved version doesn't mean it's the right or even a compatible version. This issue here is no maximum version meaning it could solve for an incompatible version due to not having all the information about the complete tree.

"Most of us"?

I've never worried much about portability, but i've really appreciated an ORM saving me writing all the tedious boilerplate for turning ResultSets into objects, and objects back into parameters to update statements, particularly when changing collection properties.
I don't think IBM has positive ROI for their R&D costs. They are mostly just a consulting shop so cutting R&D is probably a long term net gain.
I can almost guarantee the problem is caused by the brake pads glazing over. The working surface of a brake pad will become work hardened, which drastically lowers their friction coefficient, once pushed past their designed temperature limit.

The Model 3 (3,800lbs for the long range model) is a fat pig of a car compared to other, conventionally powered cars in its class (3,300lbs for a BMW 3 Series) but this is countered by Tesla fitting them with relatively enormous brakes (14" rotors up front, 13.5" in the rear, larger rotors have more heat absorbing capacity for the pads).

If I had to guess the root cause for this problem, I'd say it is likely down to Tesla's focus on minimizing aerodynamic drag causing a lack of airflow within the wheelwell and across the brakes out the wheel itself. Either that or they chose an absolutely terrible brake pad compound but that just doesn't seem likely in this modern era. Either way, the brakes are getting so hot after a single stop that CR's cooling procedure (a reasonable one I might add) is inadequate to keep the brake pads from drastically overheating. This also explains why braking performance was still compromosed after letting the car cool overnight. The work hardened surface will perform poorly until it is literally ground off from further heavy use of the brakes.
> If you cannot get a universally agreed upon definition for this then "science" can never converge on a 100% accurate model.

Any process which would converge on a 100% accurate model would suffice. A universally agreed upon definition is not necessary. Some such processes will simply converge more quickly than others.

> So saying that you cannot simulate an idealised model of computation as the means of saying that that we have a 100% accurate model that cannot be simulated is logically circular.

I don't think youve understood the example if this is your summary of my argument. My argument proves that even given 100% accurate model, simulability is a completely separate property. Accuracy is necessary but not sufficient. Accuracy is also achievable, as was mathematically proven in Solomonoff Induction.

> So simulations cannot never be 100% accurate as no model can be 100% accurate of physical systems.

This is either incorrect or wildly speculative. Either way, these two claims are not entangled, ie. simulations can be inaccurate for reasons other than the accuracy of the model.

> As far as "reality is mathematical" and empiricism, you are the one claiming that empiricism is mathematical in nature when it is a philosophical viewpoint and you are claiming that the OP is claiming empiricism

No I'm not. I suggest you reread it again, and keep in mind that since we don't know the fundamental structure of reality, the OP's claim that the conjecture is empirically false is a universal claim that must be true regardless of the structure. His claim is false in a mathematical universe as I explained, ergo his claim is simply false. See, avoiding silly arguments like this is why people need philosophy.

> I have said this before, just because a theory or model gives some predictive ability to what one may see, it doesn't mean that that the theory or model is correct

No one has made that claim.
You're right, MVS is deterministic without a lockfile, which is what you're asserting it solves.

The issue it does have is one where a transitive dependency is known bad by one of your immediate dependencies, but there's no way to declare that to the resolver.

Here's a concrete case:

1. I depend on cool-framework, min 1.5.0

2. I depend on boring-library, min 1.0.0

3. cool-framework depends on boring-library, min 1.0.0

4. cool-framework receives bug reports that boring-library 1.5.0 breaks cool-framework.

5. I upgrade boring-library to min 1.5.0. Everything builds and tests okay, but I get breakage in my staging env.

There wasn't non-deterministic package install behavior, but I still ended up with breakage that could have been prevented after (4) in a system that allows library dependencies to articulate more complex version constraints than "min version". In Rubygems or Python, with or without a lockfile, cool-framework could update its dependency on boring-library to specify "min 1.0.0, less-than 1.5.0" until the breakage is fixed.

2. Fear of failure. As kids we dont really care about what others think as we grow older we lose this wonderful ability :(

See recital 23 of the GDPR [1]. You do not need to comply with GDPR unless ”it is apparent that [you] envisage offering services to data subjects in one or more Member States in the Union”. The test for this is:

”Whereas the mere accessibility of [your] website in the Union, of an email address or of other contact details, or the use of a language generally used in the third country where the controller is established, is insufficient to ascertain such intention, factors such as the use of a language or a currency generally used in one or more Member States with the possibility of ordering goods and services in that other language, or the mentioning of customers or users who are in the Union, may make it apparent that [you] envisages offering goods or services to data subjects in the Union.”

In English:

Do not translate your site to EU-only languages (Italian, German, etc.), use an EU based domain extension, or create content or services that would be especially appealing to EU users, and GDPR will not apply to you.

>> By "interesting cases" I mean applications that leverage the more unique features in different database systems

Actually, most ORMs like Hibernate allow you to write native SQL (or even stored procedure) to take advantage of native db features. In that case, you have to trade-off portability, if that feature is important to you.

>> or more serious differences related e.g. to locking (so an application that works fine on one database fails spectacularly on another one)

Locking (default - READ_COMMITTED) also works consistently across databases. The problem happens only when you introduce distributed ORM cache where data is not updated synchronously across the cluster. It is a reasonable trade-off for performance.
Hi HN! This system architecture is something that we use in production at https://alpaca.markets/, and we opensourced this for the community and are showing the step-by-step process for this on this post. Waiting for some feedback on this!!
If you don't want adult programmers to feel artificially limited by a language, it will of course have to be able to express concepts that are too difficult for 7-year-olds.

But that doesn't mean that every feature has to be that complex. The concept of typing commands into a Basic prompt was apparently not too difficult for many kids who were lucky enough to have access to a computer.

I think the crucial ingredient to make a feature easy to understand is the ability to see its effect, so that you can experiment with immediate feedback, and many common language features can actually be made to satisfy that requirement with the help of a sufficiently powerful debugger.

I once had a payment to an insurance company lapse, so I was technically without coverage for one month. Because of this, all insurance providers insisted the bare minimum I could pay for any auto insurance was $400/month. Then I got a speeding ticket, and it went up to $600/month, and then $800/month. That's $9,600 a year, for auto insurance, for one person. (Fuck you, Progressive)

They claimed the rate would stay that way for several years, so I got rid of my car. I was going to get a car again once the rate lowered, but it turns out I didn't need one. Now I'm saving bundles of cash. (So, in a weird, way: Thanks, Progressive)
I'd argue, in spite of the name a "moral panic" isn't specifically about morals. That's why I didn't focus on the moral angle.

Moral panics are obscure "bads" that a large number of people suddenly take interest in. Like violent video games or swine flu. Swine flu for example isn't immoral (or moral) it simply just is, but it still presented a moral panic when people were panicking about it.

Obesity could become a moral panic but it hasn't yet because experts often squash the issue with facts, at least when applied to a larger society (nobody is arguing it is good for an individual or for family members of an individual, we're talking society scale).
You will need to assign the role of data protection officer to someone in the organization if it is small, and if it is a larger company then you will probably want to have an individual that does this as a major part of their job description. A CCO (chief compliance officer would be a good choice in a large org). In a really large company or a company that deals with lots of sensitive data you'd want a dedicated person.
That goes both ways. Electric cars work for many people. They do not for a non-trivial number. Hell, I want an electric car (not a Tesla, most likely, I am too used to good ergonomics and nice interiors), but first buying a rather expensive car, then having to hitch a ride to/from a charging station every week seems to be suboptimal.

There are a couple of cited studies in that paper that show different relationships between birth order and relative risk, but this specific study happens to indeed show an inverse relationship between relative risk and birth order.

My brain may have been warped by studying economics, but selling a low margin product over a high margin version when you are constrained in capacity just seems idiotic. This is like asking why Tesla doesn't burn large piles of cash in the street.
And, in my experience, an ActiveRecord model backed by a database view will solve pretty much every problem you run into where ActiveRecord alone just doesn't cut it.

Yes: the transitive dependencies is the big problem here, and a hard one to solve.

I can handle direct dependencies manually, more or less, because that's the code I'm using directly and I know what are my requirements. But then I'm mostly clueless regarding dependencies of my dependencies, and if those aren't pinned by the project that is using them directly, all sort of bad things can happen.

And this is why I love Linux distributions so much: they've been solving this problem for a long time. Whenever I can, between using upstream or a slightly older version maintained by my distro, I choose the latter.
It would be great if there was a decentralized (maybe federated) realtime chat protocol.

I actually stepped foot into a depressing casino some years ago and actually saw slot machines, and was amazed that would appeal to anyone. they're full blown video games but only have one button. super boring! and dumb - hey here's our hotel and restaurant, but to pay for your stay, instead of paying at the desk, you have to spend your whole vacation in a dark smoky room buying tokens to feed into a machine and pushing a button for days on end. sign me up.

I predict that current generations who have grown up with technology and video games are going to be much less interested in really dumb machines like this. But this is total armchair conjecture and I'm probably totally wrong.
There are a couple mentions in this article that reference marketing emails and consent and the GDPR affecting them. I'm pretty sure this is wrong.

I would be thrilled for some regulatory interventions. We can start with getting added sugar out of just about every product. Changing the rhetoric about caffeine would be nice too. Everyone talks about it as if it is a given that we use it, when in reality they are reliant on it. We really let the big companies run over us in terms of what we eat.
These are all solvable problems without requiring the expropriation of foreign investors. A sensible legislature which allows workers to unionize and a tax collecting agency which actually does its job - in short working institutions - can reduce most of these problems.

But what happens most of the time in these unstable African governments is that they gravitate from one extreme to another: Either they enforce zero workers rights and exert very little control over foreign investors - allowing them to pay bribes to individuals rather than taxes which would benefit state run institutions. Or they nationalize every last farm and shop in the country, scaring away foreign investment and know-how and end up with lower productivity and mismanagement of local industries.

One of the things I love about voice interfaces the most is how they allow for us to remove abstraction between what we want technology to do for us and how we get it to do it.

The last major step we had for making technology more accessible and easy to use for more people was the touch screen which made it possible for anyone to understand what "click the button" or "drag the folder" means.

My kids speak with Google Home all the time. They get more and more creative with what they ask it for.

Furthermore, you can interact with it at naturally at a dinner table or in a meeting room without having to look down at a screen. It really just becomes a natural no-obstructive participant of the group of people which I think is going to be it's biggest

Whatever weirdness my generation feel around speaking to tech it will be totally normalized by the coming generations.

I can almost guarantee the brake pads glazed over due to overheating. The pad's surface will begin to work harden once a certain temperature threshold is exceeded and that hardened surface has a much lower coefficient of friction than the original unhardened pad. This work hardened material will never return to normal so full braking performance will not be restored until it is ground away by further use of the brakes (light use, you don't overheat them again and make the problem worse).

That explains why the poor braking performance was unaffected by an overnight cooldown. All that said, if the Model 3 is glazing brake pads with a single emergency stop then they need to issue a recall and figure out a fix.

My condolences, I cannot imaging the pain. It is very easy to say I know, but try not to torture yourself. The research certainly does not point to this being black and white, more over, who knows what would have happened would you have had newer knowledge and acted differently. It's probably difficult and painful to imagine worse outcomes but who knows how well you handled things compared to what could have been? It's easier to imagine following all recent knowledge but still getting the same outcome. I'm sure you heard this all before.
Be prepared to get a bullet any moment. When it comes to company sales, no technical person is untouchable. Even if you "know" things couldn't be done w/o you, they don't. That equity that is 'nearly fully vested' would do much better in the pockets of founders who are fully vested and don't need to share another crumb with a fungible resource. I'm not exaggerating, and not joking. Anecdotal, yes: but layoffs to keep equity out of underlings hands do happen.
Indeed. The one close friend I have who participated in a successful sale of a startup said it made him a "thousandaire", so best to adjust expectations accordingly.

You don’t know if it’s rare because it’s secretive. Apple
doesn’t communicate things that don’t help them. Making the public know they add hacks to make sure their own and third parties’ software doesn’t break doesn’t help them so they don’t talk about it. The perception they want for the public is that the software, both their own and third party software on their platform, doesn’t break.

Oh hey, I was raised Mandaean. Neither of my parents spoke the language and were some of the first immigrants to America so I didn't really participate in the community much. A priest visited the area in my youth and I was baptized.

Later in life I came into possession of a translated copy of the Ginza Rba. It's a pretty cool holy book, lots of interesting symbolism and mystery. Light and darkness intermingle in interesting ways in these texts. Since most of the significance of these religious elements is taught priest-to-priest and through oral traditions I did not take part of, it's difficult to examine it more deeply.

Although I don't practice religion these days, on occasion I'll reflexively mutter a prayer under my breath. In a more secular light, being a Mandaean strongly informed my material circumstances due to geopolitics and I'm always struck by the weirdness of being part of a dwindling ethnic group swept up by the tides of history.
