Quantum transport: Atom to Transistor (implemented exercises)

This generally happens if the city grows too fast to get enough time to experiment with transit, reorganize and densify neighborhoods entirely over centuries like Paris or London. However if the city grows fast enough like some Chinese cities, it's much more economical to directly invest in mass transit, taller buildinngs, walkable areas...etc.
Of course it does - negotiating trade-offs and accepting the set that best achieves your objectives is a large part of software design (and also undermines the notion of doing things a "right way").

Wouldn't deploying a less-than-precise TTLs be an appropriate trade-off for non-transactional caches, caches subject to network partitions, caches that can't enroll in invalidation messages, caches that can't poll for change sets, caches that can't implement eviction policy, etc?

Certainly the cache should be transparent about the trade-offs it has made (such as not promising authoritative data if it's accepting eventual consistency via TTL).

The stuff we used Go for was the right choice for Go for sure, but I don't think the API would have been any easier in Go (though I haven't used those frameworks before...).

We also could have done Django a lot better. And all of the Celery stuff probably should have been Go, especially with the Cassandra driver we were using. Still, I'm using Django today and as long as you don't abuse the ORM and nested DRF serializers too much, it's very scalable. I think as long as you make separate services in other languages at the right time for the right use cases, it's a very valid choice for rapidly building an API.

Someone dug up a 13-year-old page from the community wiki and presented it as "this is totally the official Django documentation".

While ocaml is garbage collected, you can always tell exactly when the garbage collector will run - and it's very feasible to write code in a non-allocating, non-garbage collecting style when necessary.
I think your point gets missed by many people.

Europeans tend to have cities that have been around much longer than cars have, and you can see it in the design - they were built back when horses were the fastest mode of transportation.

Many small American towns were built after the introduction of the automobile (or at least significant chucks of the towns were).

Trying to undo history, or even taking a new mode of design is extraordinarily difficult. The discussion threads on this post seems to highlight that difficulty, while many miss that root cause.

The ECB should just do more QE. Monetary policy solved all the US’s problems following 2008 - should work for Europe too. Printing money to buy bonds definitey doesn’t cause inflation in asset prices or real estate. Furthermore, buying bonds is totally different than simply buying stocks. Additionally, I think people really like when the interest they’re paid on their savings is below the rate of inflation. In fact, they should follow Japan’s lead and start printing money to buy ETFs! This will definitely incentivize the creation of high quality jobs.

Small towns can be built with walkability in mind. In fact towns built before automobiles were invented were built this way: dense, narrow streets with doors opening onto the streets, multi-use buildings, blocks with mixed commerce/residential use. This is a sustainable and resilient way to build communities. Building around cars is not.
Someone apparently decided to link a 13-year-old unmaintained community wiki page on HN.

The closer I'm getting to a release version of my side-project, artjutsu, the more I realize that the code is just gonna be an ugly ugly mess. I could take the time to make it beautiful, but that's not helping anyone. Not at the moment.

I feel that I'd rather have some un-easy code that is not optimized so that I can have something cool for people to use. Besides, if its successful, I could go look back and make it optimized and beautiful.

>Rather than trying to force some particular vision of "the good life" on people, what if we tried to price transportation and other things appropriately?

I agree with this at least.

>For example, get rid of the gas tax. Toll all state and federally funded roads...

Lets do this with public transit too. Ticket sales should cover the full price of the ride. People who walk and bike shouldn't have to subsidize public transit they don't use. They should pay a sidewalk toll instead. No reason to stop there though, lets remove tax breaks for dependents and use the money to pay for public schools. People who's kids aren't in school shouldn't be subsidizing the cost of other peoples kids. We should also bill people when they call emergency services so that the rest of us don't have to subsidize it. People who need emergency services shouldn't externalize the cost onto society, it should be priced in. Now that we've done all that let's figure out that these things are all too expensive for poor people and nowhere near cheap for the middle class. Next let's come up with some sort of voucher system so that these people can use them at reduced cost. After that we can figure out that it's cheaper to just make using all these public resources cheap/free than it is to administrate the pay per use and income based discount system we just created. /s

The point I'm trying to make is that public infrastructure is publicly funded for a reason. Having these things available to the population at near zero cost works out better for everyone than just making users pay for what they use.

A permanent injunction is a pretty big deal.

At work, we have a bunch of vectorized computations that we run in Tensorflow, as it's a convenient way to get GPU-optimized code, so that is still an option (albeit an awkward one).

You could also use something like CUDA, or OpenGL to do this; there are some Python libraries to do basic numerical work, such as PyCUDA or gnumpy.

Django is great at being "batteries included," with tons of functionality for free. One thing that bugs me about these frameworks however is that you have to wire everything together by hand, sometimes from both sides.

Would be great if there were a product built on top that let you drop a model or a view file in a folder and everything would be wired automatically for the default case, customizable later of course.

Yeah, all those CERN researcher kids at ProtonMail.
If you are not confined by the MATLAB platform, then there are a few options. For example, Julia [1] is a general-purpose numerical computing language that has more or less similar syntax with MATLAB for vector/matrix computation, and there is a Julia package TensorFlow.jl [2] that allows you to call TensorFlow in Julia. There are also quite a few packages in development to adapt Julia to GPU-based computation.

And, to be fair, the NumPy/SciPy stack of Python can also be seen as a general-purpose vector computing platform. My feeling is that MATLAB had its days in the 90s. It's just that the most cutting-edge technologies do not seem to be developed in MATLAB any more.

Falsehoods programmers believe about this HN thread: it links to Django's documentation.

If you want to handle US zip codes, UK postcodes, or other country-specific data types in Django, may I suggest this, which formerly was bundled with Django and now is maintained as a separate add-on:

https://django-localflavor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

It includes such things as a correct dedicated US zip code field, and a correct dedicated UK postcode field.

It certainly solved a lot of problems, the US is at full employment now. It took over a decade for interest rates to start ticking up with the exception of the housing market and stocks. The money supply is only one factor in inflation, velocity is the other and it has been extremely low for a long time.
Nothing bad, if you use "bup" or "borg"; The latter has better delete support, so is a better choice for rolling backup if you sometimes delete data. "bup" has the advantage that its repo format is git, which makes it easier to hack.

Both use rsync-style deltas to only send changes, but they use a content-addressable scheme like git so renames are a small metadata change record.

Also, both offer ftp and fuse interfaces if you need to access an older backup.

I think "all the US's problems" is a pretty extreme stretch. Monetary policy may have prevented a worst case depression scenario but the economy is still wildly unbalanced. Assets re-inflated but wages did not and there's still far too much private debt.

> By making it harder to talk about something, you make it harder to think about it, and harder to put into action.

"Harder" is actually the weak hypothesis. The strong hypothesis is much more "impossible".

The common critical dissent to the strong hypothesis is often the Piraha and their lack of numbers and counting words, but demonstrated ability to count and do simple arithmetic even if not name the results verbally in their language. In the strong hypothesis, they wouldn't be able to count at all. Certainly they exhibit some symptoms of the weak hypothesis, because they may have a harder time at it than those with words to describe the effort. (The common criticism to the Piraha criticism is that we've also taught horses, pigs, dolphins, primates, etc to count and do simple arithmetic with no mutually distinguishable language whatsoever, so maybe that's not an impressive example, because maybe counting/arithmetic are outside of the linguistic faculties of the brain.)

> You can always invent things first and name them later.

I find a more impressive example of a disproof of the strong hypothesis and implication for the weak hypothesis to be the Calculus. Though the example is still in the domain of math, I feel that particularly as math trends towards more abstracted thought its entanglement with language seems ever stronger (see computing and programming languages as further examples).

Newton and Liebniz were both polymaths that spoke multiple languages and referenced many of the same primary sources (in those primary sources' own languages), but they had distinct native languages and cultures (Newton's English and Liebniz's German), yet both co-evolved the Calculus independently (to most accounts; let us dismiss the accusations of theft in one direction or the other). They evolved very different notations/jargon/language for the same concepts, but you could still see the underlying concepts as isomorphic, and that those concepts didn't particularly have names or words until the pair invented names and words for them.

Liebniz's notation was superior, in that it made it easier to see similar concepts as similar and easier to work with some of the more complex concepts, which is why the notation we use today is closer to Liebniz's than Newton's (though still somewhat of a pidgin/fusion of the two). Yet, Newton, despite using an "inferior" notation to do so is still best known for discovering so many more of the Calculus' implications to other sciences, especially Physics. In that case a potential disproof of even the weak hypothesis, or rather one anecdotal outlier of the weak hypothesis that seems to indicate how particularly "weak" it may be.

Phew, I thought you were talking about the ecosystem as it refers to docs. The docs for OCaml and the Core library are so absolutely terrible. It's like 1996 threw up in an HTML doc and no one has thought to change any of it. Sadly, ReasonML is taking the same road. Elixir on the other hand has some great documentation. I'd love to see some work done on OCaml's standard library docs so that they had more in the way of examples.
You're not wrong. This is a Rust post after all. I'm of the opinion that C++ by itself is both unfinished and bloated at the same time. Most memory access should be funneled through libraries better equipped to handle memory than our feeble minds, and when we really need the performance, we know when to break out of the cage and get things working. Most of the problems I've encountered in C++ is interpreting the crazy stuff other developers have done, because alas C++ has allowed it! Funny enough, the object oriented nature of the language has been the biggest thorn in my side. You'll get no shortage of complaints by me of how C++ is designed. Somehow I manage to forgive a lot due to the incredible performance of the code a C++ compiler generates.

Inflation is rampant in many areas right now. It’s dishonest to claim inflation is low because TVs are still cheap when house prices, healthcare, and education are exploding. Furthermore, if the unemployment rate was as low as is advertised we would be seeing wage growth. The fact that wages are not rising is evidence that the unemployment numbers are fudged. The fact that Trump was elected is evidence that the majority of people are unhappy with the “recovery”.
The notion hinges on the idea that someone or a group of people can invest time and resources into innovation with the understanding that they will get paid if the idea pans out.
