> However, the final example is a bit puzzling, because point 6 does not follow from 5, 7 does not follow from 6, and 10 does not follow from the previous points because of the addition "if that preventive..." comes out of nowhere. It would be better to make the missing premises explicit.

6 follows from 4 and 5 by modus tollens.

7 is just a rewording of 6. "any ... which causes harm" -> harmful and "more highly than, nor equal to," -> "less highly than"

10 indeed does not follow because no premise provides a way of assessing effects of one behavior on another. However the phrasing "if that preventive" simply is a conditional referencing the object described in the consequent, "whatever prevents the harm"

Due to a rather random set of events our department within an F500 company lost most of its senior leadership. As one of the senior-most people remaining I am being asked to fill some shoes.

Office politics and similar company-specific concerns aside: is there a typical range of salary increases that goes with the transition from Senior Developer to Systems Manager?

There is surprisingly little up-to-date information/discussion regarding this topic.

Or is the answer closer to "Our industry is too unbalanced and random for meaningful advice - please be spinning the wheel of fortune!"

Thank you for your thoughts, HN!
To reach utopia the ends always justify the means, which in the past has resulted in trying to fit a population to an ideology. It's next to impossible to reverse the two, engineering an ideology that fits us, but very likely a target that we never stop working towards no matter the consequences along the way.

We seem to believe that reaching utopia will satisfy some ultimate survival need or help us reach some higher unforeseen goal, otherwise why would we commit such damaging acts against our own species in pursuit of it?
Why would Tesla fold ?
There will be more dust, no doubt. Tesla needs desperately money from the orders, they have no choice but take a risk.

Some issues may arise later. Tesla plans to fix them later and that's doable because their production volumes are still low and they manufacture only expensive cars.

Tesla owners know by now that they get a car that is incredible to drive, has very high quality 'skateboard' but all the normal parts build on top of that are low quality with high tolerances compared to other manufacturers. It seems to be accepted trade-off.
It maybe a crime in highly religious counties but it's actually perfectly legal in many countries (as well as some states in the US).

In the UK you can get arrested for "indecent exposure", which I believe basically means someone has to be offered by your nakedness. Which means nude beaches, organised naked cycle events and such like are all perfectly legal.

I wouldn't class myself as a naturist but I am often surprised at just how offended some people get by nakedness. I mean sure, nudity of a sexual nature in public places I can understand, but that's completely different to a woman sunbathing topless or a guy hiking. People should just live and let live. But that's just my opinion.
I think in the real world everyone thinks they're playing chess and they can, more or less, tell you what the rules to chess are, and when asked they'll say they are playing their moves according to the rules of chess, but in reality they are not playing chess. They're all playing some other different game and often the players that are rewarded are the ones that won according to the rules of that game.

Which is to say that no one thinks they're irrational or unreasonable. But that's also part of the game. For many people the real game is social, not truth-finding, because that's where the real stakes are. I don't think people are explicitly aware of it, but they learned that this is the way the game is played because that's what everyone else is doing, frequently even the truth-finders. And again the real stakes are here, and anyway it comes more naturally to most people. The truth-finding game is hard and often has worse prizes.

Is this a matter of semantics? It's strange because, if a word's meaning comes from how it's used by most people, well what most people say and believe reasoning means and what they are actually doing when they say they are reasoning are different.

This piece is dropping fast though; Dante Labs will currently do it (with 30X coverage) for individuals for $500 [1]. And I believe the price for labs that do a lot of sequencing is significantly lower per-genome.

Writing is still a much bigger challenge, though. Writing something the size of the human genome is currently considered a "grand challenge" and is being tackled by HGP-Write:

> For example, it might be okay to risk a $1 bet to win $1,000,000 if the probability is one in 500, but it is quite another thing for the average person to risk $50,000 to win $1,000,000 if the probability is one in 400. Even with better odds in the second case,

The author either made a typo (intended billion rather than million) or doesn't understand probability. The second case is on average going to lose you money. The expected return from getting $1,000,000 1 in 400 times is only $2,500. So betting $50,000 will on average lose you a lot of money.

This book had a really gentle explanation of the required calculus: https://www.amazon.com/Make-Your-Own-Neural-Network-ebook/dp...

That sounds very reasonable to me but if my (very limited) understanding of WebAssembly is correct then it's mainly meant as a target for compilers, not something you'd routinely write yourself unless you wanted very tight control over the code or maybe micro-optimizations, as such it doesn't make a lot of sense to object to certain feature from a code maintainability/language ergonomics point of view IMO.

I'm not saying anything about what WebAssembly should or shouldn't look like, I haven't got the faintest idea about that, I was just criticizing the argument of the parent about the "nastiness" of goto that felt out of place in this context. If 99.99% of all wasm code is generated by compilers then it should mostly aim at providing a target that lets compiler output efficient code, not something that would be nice for humans to write or add arbitrary limitations to prevent coders from writing "nasty" code.
I think the point was that recursion makes a better foundational primitive. For example, with Java and C#, their (somewhat arbitrary) Iterator and IEnumerator library interfaces are baked into the syntax of the language (e.g. the foreach loops). This is not a good position to be in.
Or we have been willing to admit to ourselves that our view of perfection was flawed and that these forms of liberalism are a better step in the direction towards our ultimate goal, whatever that may be.

Actual I think it's worth picking that nit because it emphasises that the company who leaked the data, allowed its exfiltration, still have the data.

That emphasis is twofold: 1) they can do it again, because 2) they didn't lose anything.

The corollaries being that their incentives aren't aligned with the people whose data is leaked, the company don't need to spend on avoiding leaks because they're not harmed beyond a little (bad) PR.

Wow, this is the first I'm hearing of Dante Labs. That price point for 30X WGS coverage is seriously impressive.
> This is not a good position to be in.

Why not?
In my experience, the reality doesn't have much to do with the size of a company; what matters is the management. Of course companies of different sizes naturally have different management problems, but all of them can be (attempted to be) solved in a number of ways, and this depends on individuals in charge.
>say, Python+NumPy, because then you can use everything the Python ecosystem has to offer, and aren't limited to the MATLAB ecosystem

That has an implicit assumption that Python's ecosystem is better for this kind of work than MATLAB which just isn't true in many areas of scientific computing. Take differential equations for example. MATLAB has matcont which is a great bifurcation analysis library which is unrivaled by Python (PyDSTool is a toy in comparison). Python doesn't really have usable DDE solvers. Python's ODE (SciPy, Sundials wrappers, etc) solvers are much less developed than MATLAB's, doing okay since it's wrapping some standard software but with a lot less flexibility than MATLAB. And you can keep going. And to top it off, compilation with Numba or Cython doesn't work well in the case of differential equations since there are a lot of small function calls. So it's not so clear that Python is good at scientific computing at all, and in fact in some regions like differential equations it's quite a step downwards. Generally, the ecosystem in this area is well developed in Julia + the commercial offerings (MATLAB, Maple, Mathematica).

That said, Python's ecosystem outside of scientific computing is so much better than MATLAB's. However, at that point I would think Julia is a good choice.

> nasty things Goto can do

It's not a source language. It should be elegant, but not in the same way. An intermediate language should lend itself to mechanical synthesis and analysis (in whichever balance is most appropriate), and shouldn't worry about how writeable and readable it is to humans.

Java bytecode, for instance, is very 'simple' in a way, but no-one in their right mind writes code in Java bytecode assembly language.

There is such a thing as a bad intermediate language. These things need careful and skillful design, but shouldn't be mistaken for source languages.

When Dijkstra wrote "Go To Statement Considered Harmful", he was referring to source languages, not to machine languages or intermediate languages.

The Complete Guide to Know about the Development of FISH
Fluorescence in situ hybridization, which is a selective assay for the localization of a specific nucleic acid sequence in its natural context. It is a technology that has been in existence for more than 20 years and continues to evolve. During its maturation, various methods and modifications have been introduced to optimize the detection of DNA and RNA. The reasons that make this technology become prevalance are the wide range of applications and its relative ease of implementation and in-situ performance.

Although the basic principles of FISH remain stable, high sensitivity detection, simultaneous determination of multiple species, and automated data collection and analysis have significantly improved this technology. At present, the introduction of FISH surpasses the previously available technologies and becomes the most important biometric. In the future, this technology may have a significant impact on live cell imaging and medical diagnostics.
The Past of fluorescence in situ hybridization
As early as the 1940s, antibodies were conjugated to fluorescent dyes without losing their epitope binding specificity. Several decades later, primary antibody-dependent fluorescence detection of nucleic acid hybrids was achieved, however, this technique was soon replaced by the appearance of fluorescent nucleic acid probes.In situ hybridization, first performed in the late 1960s, was not fluorescent at all, but used a probe labeled with a radioactive isotope. Non-fluorescent technologies such as enzyme-based color reporters and gold-based probe systems used in electron microscopy are all independent.

FISH for visualizing nucleic acids was developed as an alternative method using radiolabeled probes.Early isotope detection methods used non-specific labeling strategies such as random incorporation of radioactively modified bases into growing cells followed by autoradiography. Several disadvantages of isotope hybridization, such as unstable, limited resolution, time consuming, expensive and difficult to store, have inspired the development of new technologies. The first application of fluorescence in-situ detection was in the early 1980s, detection of nick translations characterized by secondary detection of biotinylated probes and fluorescent streptavidin conjugates was used to detect DNA and mRNA targets. About a decade later, improved labeling of synthetic single-stranded DNA probes allows the chemical preparation of hybridization probes carrying enough fluorescent molecules to allow direct detection. Since then, many changes in the topics of indirect and direct labels have been introduced, providing a wide range of detection solutions for the user to choose.
Although the number of detection methods has increased, the types of targets also have become quite diverse. FISH chromosome analysis has promoted significant advances in cytogenetic studies. However, due to this assay cannot benefit from the preservation of tissue structures or cell structures, its future applications are more likely to be in silico than in situ. Initially, RNA assays can reliably detect considerable amounts of information with clone-derived probes.

The new goal has led to the new application of the FISH program, the popularity of which has increased dramatically in the 1990s. The new research approaches opened up by these applications require the simultaneous detection of more and more species. Initially, this was achieved by simultaneously observing fluorophores of different spectra. Later, strategies that using two major coding schemes expanded the approach.
Prospects for future development
The development of in situ techniques provides us with valuable information about the location and expression patterns of genes in individual cells. A more complete gene expression profile of single cells will provide a deeper understanding of the correlation between gene expression patterns and specific cell phenotypes, which is especially important in studies of development and disease progression, where complex, finely-divided gene expression programs are playing a role.

Researchers can predict how molecular pathology ultimately exceeds the limitations of morphopathology, which will allow more judicious use of minimally invasive biopsy techniques that sacrifice retrieved tissue morphology in favor of comfort of the patient. FISH probes have already colored the way that we visualize and conceptualize genes, chromosomes, transcription and nucleic acid movements. What remains to be seen is how detailed molecular analysis of single cell and tissue samples will influence how we identify, diagnose, and alter the genetic pathology.

In the long run, it is expected that the database of associated gene expression patterns will accumulate at the single cell level as researchers and industry adopt FISH technology and their favorite biomarkers. Ultimately, FISH will be the preferred method for predicting the complex components of genes that cause disease.

Yes absolutely. That's why they should not cave in to pressure to add semantically redundant features just to make a particular project or application slightly more convenient.

In order to meet the objectives of easy to define and easy to optimise, it will be necessary to agree on a core set of foundational primitives and stick to them.
Do we know if that 35k car will ever be available? how many of those deposit holders are there still holding out hope to one day buy that car? Tesla cars will no longer qualify for the $7500 tax refund soon so that might put off more of them, it will be down to 3750 I think.

The danger to Tesla was from two fronts, running out of money before getting into positive cash flow or failing to execute long enough for other manufacturers to take market. Jaguar will certainly eat into higher end vehicles from Tesla as they have a storied brand and other similar brands are not far behind.

It's often said that a tail call is a "goto with arguments" [1]. It's also often said that "lambda is the ultimate X," for many different X [2]. Just adding proper tail calls to WebAssembly would do wonders for its expressiveness [3], in ways that adding lesser forms of goto would not.
