So the equation comes out to

f(x) = sin^2(A * B^x)

for particular choices of A and B. But I don't think you actually need the squaring - you can do the same thing with just f(x) = sin(A * B^x), and there's no particular need to talk about iterated logistic maps. For example, let B = 256, and let A = 2π * A', where A' is a number from 0 to 1. Then for some positive integer n,

- f(n) ignores the first 8n binary digits of A', because sin(2π * q) ignores the integer part of q, and f(n) = sin(2π * A' * 2^(8n)).

- But f(n) can be determined to a high degree of precision from the following 8 binary digits. This is just because sin is continuous and doesn't have a high slope anywhere, so if you split [0, 2π] into 256 intervals, knowing which interval q is in gives you a suitably small range for sin(q). Therefore, you can put whatever you want in the digits after those 8.

- Thus, the procedure for encoding a series of y values into A' is just to set each 8 binary digits in A' to an integer from 0 to 255 proportional to arcsin(y_value).

Of course, more than 8 bits can be used to achieve higher precision.

Indeed, you can replace sin with any continuous periodic function, though the required precision depends on how steep the function gets.

Primarily in my "system" (!) the idea was to offer the potty at nappy changing times, first thing in morning, after nap, before bed etc. - using sign and vocal prompts (that idea is used in Elimination Communication) - and go crazy over-the-top with praise for anything they do in the potty (but not lying, at 2 youngest is like "big wee" when there's only a spot, because he wants to please; "good try!", Always applaud trying!). At 6mo of age you have to hold them up. But my reasoning was habituation, familiarity, and just reduction in messy nappies.

First child was in terry-nappies, and compostables at night. Latest toddler is in compostables all the time -- terry definitely seem (on my low-number study) to help associate weeing and the feeling of it starting. Nappy free time in the garden or at the beach will help them associate the feeling with the actions too.

Sign, we knew some BSL so started with simplified versions of signs (removed all hand shapes, so Mum is a flat hand on side of head rather than an M-hand; exaggerate movements, make sure signs are differentiated). Just speak and do signs for anything they'd usefully learn - food, more, mum-milk, sleep, potty perhaps as an opening gambit. From 7-9 months they should be able to pick up at least a dozen signs and by 10 months be signing back; obviously that's assuming normal development and consistent use by caregivers.

Most sign books use ASL, which can be confusing if you go to a class and all the signs are different.

The potty and sign go together, giving then a way to communicate their need and a way to greater comfort - I imagine they play off each other.

I feel confused. Are you really saying that your justification for PHP having a consistent design is that, on its seventh major version, twenty years into its lifetime, an effort has been started to attempt to establish consistency by removing some old features, and adopting a community RFC process, or am I misunderstanding your claim here?

The issue here can become, that there's more than one way to do that translation. Monadic operators and the underlying types are all broadly similar but not the same.

Not true. AT&T claimed that the free versions of BSD violated their copyright on Unix with the result that even though anyone could download and install BSD at no cost, you never knew whether a court ruling would make your continuing to use it legally risky (at least if you want to use it in an enterprise or keep it connected to the net).

The legality of the free versions of BSD did not get resolved till there were many Linux users -- probably more Linux users than there were users of the free BSDs.
Like it - really nice visualisation.

A few suggestions that might be nice:

- show entry + exit down to 5min and maybe even 1 min intervals if that data is available.

- make it so I can filter lines I am interested in (e.g clicking on the colour bars at the top to toggle on/off) - in zone 1 its pretty hard to see what is going on without zooming riiiiight the way in, but then you miss the "bigger picture".

Comparing to PHP, I mostly mean the mindset: the no-frills, "just code it in a few hours" approach. Solving the problem with the minimum care of any abstraction. It works pretty well for simple scripts.

The problem is, of course, that the scope grows, and with it, the need for more powerful tools. Go does not have C's macros (phew), but has nothing else either, so people end up writing code generators.
One of the benefits I've seen while using Elm is that you virtually never need browser-based backtraces. The Elm compiler catches everything and has much better error messages, in my opinion.

> To be honest I don't know how to solve that issue

Support more compilers (e.g. clang, msvc). It can be more work than it's worth, sure and I understand the issues there, but jumping through hoops per platform (e.g. can't use a popular lib like https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 on Windows without a MinGW gcc installation) is worth noting when touting the cross platform ease of use. Langs like Rust were lucky to compile to the same IR as a cross-platform C compiler.

> I wonder how someone who has C/C++ experience thinks of Go as not being a cross platform language.

I don't think that and definitely never would. I said it has issues, namely in the Cgo department. And I said that the other statement about C/C++ only being Unixy was wrong.

I definitely like Go and its cross-platform ability and hope I didn't give the impression that I don't.

https://www.woodshopnews.com/.amp/news/table-saw-suit-nets-1...

This guy was given a table saw with the guard already removed, and was using it on the floor (a table saw should be used at table height, so that you can have a foot forward to prevent falling into the blade). He was apparently not using push-sticks.

Somehow, the table saw manufacturer was found 65% liable in the case, because technology exists to reduce the likelihood of injury when flesh contacts the blade. Specifically, SawStop, which I believe senses capacitance and fires an aluminum block into the blade.

Here's a rather biased and snarky rundown of the whole thing that links some important bits of the backstory:

https://www.bob-easton.com/blog/is-it-your-table-saw-or-the-...
That's probably an exaggeration, but I agree with the sentiment of what they are saying. It's not crazy hard to write quality software. Most corporations don't bother because they know they don't have to, since they can escape liability laws. It's gotten to the point where most software developers somehow view this situation as "normal".

Do you have a QA department? What do they do? If you're like most software companies, they do testing. This is not QA, though, it's QV. The role of QA is to assure that the quality of your product is high. By the time you're testing it, the product is "done" - all of the defects are already there in the product. There is now nothing you can do to affect the quality of the product - all you can do is test and measure the overall quality of the product.

I mean, your tests will find problems, and you can fix those problems. But, if you keep track of how many problems you find, and how much test effort was involved to find those problems, you can plot a weibull regression and make a prediction about how many defects you haven't found yet. On any project I've been on where we ran this analysis, it was obvious that testing was finding almost none of the problems - barely skimming the surface. And, when you ran this analysis you could predict how many defects you will find if you spend X days testing, and on any project where I've seen this analysis run, those predictions have been highly accurate.

Really good automated tests can help with this, because they can do huge amounts of test effort "for free", but really QA should be about the process you follow when you write software - making sure you have a repeatable process, and then figuring out how to improve it. Almost no one does this.
It feels even less cross-platform when you have a team mate who uses x/sys/unix and you're on a mac, which may be expected, but your first quote seems to miss such situations. (The quote itself, not your comment on it - [edit for calrity]).

> I'd rather not have glysophate in my food.

Glyphosate (you spelled it wrong) is widely used in non-GMO agriculture as well. Avoiding GMO doesn't do much in avoiding glyphosate. Glyphosate is also probably the most widely studied and the most harmless of the herbicides. Replacing glyphosate with some other chemicals is not necessarily a win.

Even going organic doesn't free you from all herbicides and pesticides, some of them are allowed to be used in organic farming. And if you really go pesticide free, you start to have more insect damage in crops, which provide entry points for molds to attack the crops. And some of the toxins produced by molds are really potent.

If you want to avoid residues of harmful chemicals, going 100% pesticide free is probably not the optimum.
We hardly put that level of scrutiny on any day to day use products. Multiple studies show that there are various carcinogens we live with on a regular basis. Thousands of new intermediary chemicals are created on an everyday basis without any sensible level of regulation.

Even cigarettes, in your analogy were created without any regulation, and continue till date. Overconsumption of calories from soda is a well known problem, but as a society we love them anyway.

Somehow when it comes to GMO, for some reason the burden of proof is so much higher. The chances that GMOs would be terribly bad for our health is much closer to sci-fi than reality, given how much leeway is provided for other consumer products we regularly use, apply, and consume in our lives.
The error handling in Go seems verbose:

if err = logit(FrobulatingMessage); err != nil {
return err
}

if err = f.cleanupOldest(); err != nil {
return err
}

There's an advantage, though. You can easily insert code for an error case. You might add, if cleanupOldest fails, something like

logError("cleanupOldest failed unexpectedly while cleaning up chain")

if that's an unlikely but possible event that needs to be investigated. Big operational shops do that. It's hard to stick debug code in the middle of an expression.

I'd say if you put it on a indoor table, a measly cubic centimetre of sand can make a (small) pile, and a random estimate on the internet states that there are 8000 grains of sand in a cubic centimetre.

So n = 8000 makes a sand pile.
It's even worse: most of these companies don't even write the software for the low end consumer hardware. They just license it from a third party, usually in Asia, and pay them to turn features on or off and skin the UI for their branding.

It's no surprise that routers from competing manufacturers are vulnerable, since it's all the same under the hood. The companies that sell the finished product have zero insight into how secure the software is.
>This isn't what the antibiotics are for. They increase growth. We don't know why.

I think it’s more along the lines of this:

1. Cows evolved to eat low starch and high fiber grass;

2. We feed them corn and grain based diets that speed up growth but result in certain illnesses (rumen a layer of slime which traps gas they normally release and liver failure both which can lead to death);

3. Antibiotics are mixed in with corn and grain based feeds which help with both those issues (gas/bloating and liver failure).

I have never seen a study showing antibiotics lead to accelerated growth where a cow doesn’t also eat a corn/grain based feed.

IMO Red Hat has been on top of recent developments.

OpenShift is (arguably) the best PaaS Kubernetes distribution, and certainly the most enterprise-ready one. I use it in production and it's a great piece of engineering. They heavily contribute back to Kubernetes upstream instead of forking it. Red Hat is responsible for many important Kubernetes features like RBAC.

They acquired Ansible and, recently, CoreOS.

Software Collections make it really easy to run an up-to-date software stack on RHEL by decoupling it from the base OS (which is the way to go, IMO).

And of all the IdPs I recently evaluated, Keycloak sucks the least.
It's implicit. Regulations only mean what ever the regulator decides they mean.
I don't see how this improves upon the Stone-Weierstrass theorem, aside from expanding the range of functions that can uniformly approximate a continuous function or scatter plot.
