Actually, time to look beyond the whole Java ecosystem.

After the claims Oracle made during the Google trial (such as APIs and method signatures being patent-able), it is clear that one can't work on the Java platform without infringing Oracle's IP. If Oracle doesn't sue you now, it can sue you when it makes financial sense to do so.

.Net looks like a much better alternative, with a patent pledge and ECMA standardization. Although to be fair, Microsoft is still a supporter of patent lobbies.

I don't doubt that sqlite will wipe the floor with xsv for certain types of analysis. I also suspect that the opposite would be true for other types of analysis. Although, you'd know much better than I would - I've used sqlite quite a bit while my only usage of xsv was to work with a 100 line CSV file. Xsv was fast, but, I'm sure most tools would be at that size. What was killer, however, is that xsv gave me a lot of tools that helped exactly what I needed to do - sqlite wouldn't have helped at all. Right tool for the right job and all.

What I was more curious about was if the original comment was about a particular case where sqlite beat xsv, or if it was more handwavy. Also, the comment seemed to imply that repeated queries would be faster in sqlite than with xsv but didn't mention anything about indexes. My suspicion would be that without something that can take advantage of an index, xsv and sqlite would perform about the same doing repeated table / file scans.

Google can do this, it's their machines they executed the commands on but they can't do this and claim they are not a publisher and are not responsible for content.

Personally, I'm entirely ok with normalizing marijuana usage. It has been legal all year here in SF, and de facto legal for years before that. Nothing bad happened. I'd love for the rest of the country to get over the moral panic on it.

That said, I think Musk's move was colossally dumb. Tesla's valuation is based in large part on future expectations, and those expectations are deeply tied with Musk personally in a way that's true for very few other companies.

If Tesla were in the black and shipping lots of cars, he could have done this happily. But people have a lot of very reasonable concerns about Tesla. One of those concerns is that the CEO is getting erratic under pressure. Publicly dating and breaking up with a pop star. Spending his time shitposting on Twitter. Calling a hero of the Thai cave rescue a pedophile, and then doubling down on it. Announcing he was taking the company private and then changing his mind.

Given that, video of him smoking weed would have been foolish on its own. Doing that at the same time Tesla announced two executive resignations? Absurd. And given that one of those resignations was the Chief Accounting Officer leaving after 29 days? Plain dumb. It makes him look entirely irresponsible.

Is he being irresponsible with the business? Who knows. But Musk knows better than anybody how much of Tesla's valuation is based on his own very personalized PR efforts. He should go find a crisis communications consultant. And then listen to them.
Love the references to Craig Newmark and Caterina Fake. How many people in 2018 could say what they're known for without looking it up? It just shows how perishable the contemporary wisdom is... which is of course Clay's main point.

It looks right now like the thing that might save journalism is the revolution itself. A stable society actually doesn't need much journalism, but people didn't object to it because the cost was invisible to them; it was buried in the decimal places of the price of everything.

Now, in a society in which social upheaval has become obvious, people are seeking out journalism and paying for it. We're in the process of finding out how much journalism people actually want--i.e. how much they are willing to directly pay for.

It might not be very much, in terms of jobs. A person who just wants to know what is going on does not necessarily need 15 news organizations competing to be 1 sec faster to tell them.

And as national upheaval attracts attention, there's not as much left to spend locally. For many folks, corruption on the school board pales before corruption at the highest ranks of the federal government. More attention and money for the NY Times, less for the local paper.

Have to pipe up here and say an enthusiastic / visceral / emotional 'thankyou' to BurntSushi for all your great contributions - xsv, rust-csv, ripgrep etc - not to mention your superb blog articles.

Im using xsv to wrangle 500gb of data, it is phenomenally useful and fast. The main datastore is postgresql and it is great, but there are some things pg just isn't fast enough for [hash joins anyone]. I have to do a lot of pre-processing, and xsv is incredible for that.

Perhaps the best complement of all - I am seriously looking at moving from node.js to Rust as my daily data/systems programming language _because_ of how performant and elegant xsv / rust-csv / ripgrep are, and how readable the rust code is.

I also have renewed respect for the staple of olde unix tools - sort sed grep wc etc

xsv is a brilliant addition to that canon of unix lore.
Intel's recovery a decade ago also came down to superior mfg, and that past strength is their main weakness this time around. I am very concerned about their ability to yield 24+ core monolithic server parts on 10nm at competitive cost/perf/timeframe, given that 10nm seems to be an out-of-control dumpster fire even compared to their 14nm node which was itself around 2 years late.

What do you mean by at the same time? Those two photons reach Bob at exactly the same instant?

We had already agreed that General Relativity should imply Bob never sees Alice reach EH, regardless of quantum effects (at least not in finite time). We also agreed that Bob does see the BH evaporate (in finite time to any desired fraction), as seemingly dictated by QM. Thus it cannot be that the two are observed simultaneously!

Moreover, there cannot be a chain of events whereby Alice evaporates into photons (emanating from EH), and those photons (originating from Alice's mass-energy) hit Bob before the photons of Alice when she was near, but did not reach the EH yet (again because Alice cannot be observed to reach EH). It would violate causality.

It can't be that both Alice falls into the EH and we receive Alice's energy from evaporation: either the BH does not evaporate or Alice doesn't cross the EH (even in her own observation). Assuming Hawking radiation really does exist, then some kind of evaporation would need to occur as objects approach the EH, it cannot come directly from the EH boundary.

Could it be that Alice herself is seen to evaporate -- the evaporation might stem directly from Alice, before reaching the EH? My claim that the EH/singularity never forms would be valid.

I could be terribly mistaken of course, but your arguments did not convince me unfortunately (quite the contrary).

I wonder if what I'm missing could be related to the expansion of the EH as a body approximates.

Can you share more about how the "mood" is determined? Definitely will be controversial and is deserving of a much more clear explanation.

Why am I tense? Is it the sentences I formulate? Upvote vs. downvote patterns? RNG?

I pretty strongly believe that you should take that piece rather seriously, even if you don't previously consider it a big deal. People generally don't like when a stranger tells the world what their mood will be. Especially bad when someone believes it's quite wrong.

Also I love the opportunity for introspection. I'm trying to become a more whole, happy person who isn't defined whatsoever by his career. I would love to learn how some algorithms perceive me and why.

* Some languages don't run on some platforms, e.g. C# doesn't work well on Linux.

* Some languages are hard to build (for real projects), e.g. C or C++ projects, Python with C extensions on Windows. I don't have a good time to build Haskell projects (on Linux) either.

* Some languages require a huge runtime (either install seperately or bundled), e.g. Java. They take a lot of time to download and install, and occupy a lot of disk space and memory.

Are you sure that that is actually a big problem for them? I imagine it would be quite hard to convincingly fake user data data.

I could also imagine ways around that. For instance their proprietary SDK could generate the data and cryptographically sign it. Or they could require that app makers set up a special subdomain that points to their ip address. I guess it would only be worth the trouble if enough people care about it.

I suspect, given two hypotheses- one that is politically correct and one that isn't- the politically incorrect one will be held to a much higher standard of evidence required due to confirmation bias and people acting as described in the article.

If you look at psychology, the politically incorrect results (IQ) have much better evidence despite being constantly attacked. Compare that to say, priming and sterotype threat - which everyone wanted to believe in.

While I'm interested in anything to halt or stop the opioid crisis, anything from the owners of OkyContin must be treated with a large grain of salt. OxyContin was nominally supposed to be a slow release low risk opioid for chronic pain sufferers. Not only has that not worked out so well, it's pretty clear that they understood the risks and basically straight up lied to doctors about the risks. They have the capability to create these compounds, but they also have very low trustworthiness.

> Python is installed literally everywhere.

I figured Ubuntu 18.04 didn't have Python pre installed. Besides, installing all the dependencies with pip is another step to do and gets annoying when deploying to many servers.

For something that gets distributed, a single static binary is very welcomed.
I'm not familiar with the story, but this is what I take from the comment above:

* captain arrives in FTL ship looking for evidence of a thing

* captain isn't satisfied with a painting offered as evidence, because it could be fake

* aide says that photography is unknown to the natives, implying that the production of a photograph would be taken by the captain as having more evidentiary value

=> captain knows about FTL but is unfamiliar with the technology required to produce false but convincing photographic images
It's not difficult to package, but if your experience is anything like mine, distributing a 400+MB zip containing all the dependencies and the python core+stdlib is no fun.
> Right, and such a concession to be agreed on by Canada would require an equally beneficial concession made by the U.S. no?

The way that Trump likes to negotiate that's not necessarily the case. He may think that he can get huge concessions without giving anything in return by just "playing hardball" and issuing threats to terminate negotiations if they don't go his way.
I imagine you could get pretty far with

diff <(xsv input old.csv) <(xsv input new.csv)

In particular, xsv prints valid CSV, and quoting rules will be applied consistently so that they can be diffed. Ignoring spaces and 0s might not work though.

If you'd like to file an issue with a specific use case (sample data from a real world problem would be great), then that would be appreciated!
It's not a bug -- it's asshole design.
This goes a bit beyond his past attempts to manipulate the press with fake personas. The op-ed claims that staffers genuinely considered his removal via the 25th amendment due to his being mentally unfit. That's a damning admission, and one that effectively substantiates a great deal of the insider criticism and evidence of dysfunction that's been published. That's not a conversation any president would be willing to further.

It'd be like an 18th-century king trying to sniff out would-be usurpers by announcing to his court that he's illegitimate. It might throw enough blood in the water to get someone to bite, but even after lopping off a few heads, the statement--true or false--is going to haunt you. Some statements can't be taken back.

Not to mention that it doesn't really fit with his personality; he has incredible difficulty accepting even meaningless criticism, or letting it go for that matter. Approving an op-ed to go out that implicitly suggests that he's mentally unfit is not something he'd go along with for any reason or perceived benefit.
That’s my understanding as well. There are requirements that the person is actually dependent on opioids before they are admitted to a program.

Number(false); // 0, number

sublingual buprenorphine like Subutex is only indicated for take-home if the patient can not tolerate suboxone (oral buprenorphine/naloxone). If you're prescribing subutex take-home just because, you're not following the preferred prescribing practices. Suboxone and subutex are not used the same way, as I described in my top level comment in this thread.

Subutex is for patients that are not clinically stable, so they get daily doses from their treatment center and are watched as they take the medicine. You could argue that the providers should watch them until they have dissolved it, and thus this patent is over-engineering a solution, but that's not what you argued.

Suboxone is for patients that are clinically stable, compliant, and/or are unable to make frequent visits to their treatment center, so they are able to take-home their medication and take it as prescribed. These are patients that you as the healthcare provider are relatively certain wouldn't abuse it.

And yes, while buprenorphine isn't as abusable as most other medications, and is far more forgiving than methadone, it's not perfect, and there is still some liability for abuse, especially with subutex. So while I agree that this patent makes very little difference (again, check my longer comment), it's not all that bad of an idea, hence why Purdue likely patented it.

Prediction: DNS-over-TLS won't win. I don't think it's going to be able to get around the non-standard port issue.

Instead, I think DNS-over-HTTP is gonna be the champ. The overhead of HTTP is a minor issue, but, I think using a standard port more than makes up for it. I think the real inflection point is going to be once QUIC is more widely deployed. Combined with TLS's 0-RTT connection setup, we'll be able to get back to answering a DNS query in a single round trip (like today), but with assurances that the data wasn't monitored or tampered with between the client and the recursive resolver.
