I wonder if a a usable subset of SQLite/sql92 would be amiable to to formal methods, or if that is still to big?
You’re correct that the approach can be misused. However, it’s also worth thinking of it like a “persona” in product design. When used correctly the journalist has the data, the data tell a story, the journalist chooses a subject that personifies the story so people care to read about it.
Maybe you have just discovered that you're not libertarian after all, as some regulation seems to be better than no regulation is certain cases.

At these low frequencies very simple oversampling Delta-Sigma ADCs work well, considering the sample rate is in the low 3-digit MHz range at most, which can easily be processed by even an 15$ FPGA that has SerDes suitable for USB3 or PCIe2 [0]. Considering you can just shift the noise out of the frequency of your ultrasound with the correct averaging filter in the FPGA to convert the 1-bit high sample rate to many-bit passband (one might want to fold the quadrature demodulator for RX phase sensitivity into this filter to save on comnpute). It would basically be a many-channel, fixed frequency (by software configuration only) RX SDR.

I think you're referencing very specific type of bugs while overlooking a whole plethora of other ways a program might fail to follow expectations.

As long as we need expressively languages, it will be possible to write bugs (be that low level languages or even "scripting" languages). And as long as we have a diverse ecosystem of hardware and software stacks (and I hope we do continue to) then there will be bugs.

Bugs are unavoidable. The point of testing frameworks / fuzzing / etc is to reduce the number and severity of bugs.

However if you do have a method of writing 100% bug free code then I'd be interesting in you sharing it ;)

Interesting read. Some nitpicking as a born East-German: In my opinion, the last row of images shows pretty standard UW-orienteering equipment, which has not much do with Boettgers scooter-like device. In particular, it has no engine parts, only air bottle + navigation (compass and distance counting meter)

I'm quite sure, because I was involved in this kind of sportive activity during the eighties and nineties of the last century and have build this and similar equipment myself.

Hi,
we completely rewrite the UIKit framework from the ground up. We started from the abandoned Chameleon Project (http://chameleonproject.org) several years ago and we added tons of classes and improvements in order to be in sync with the latest iOS versions from Apple.

We are able to execute most of the native iOS code directly on Mac, from example this project works without a single code change on MacOS: https://github.com/chrismiles/CMUnistrokeGestureRecognizer (so we have UIView, UIViewController, UIGestureRecognizer, UITouch, UIBezierPath and much much more).

We also didn't block any customisations (like the custom collection view layouts). We simply need more time in order to correctly expose all the functionalities from a graphical user interface and in a coherent way for all the users.
Humans aren't lions, and our society doesn't work the same way, even in more primitive times.

I'm assuming you were referring to survival of the fittest, which is commonly misunderstood to be survival of the strongest.

What survival of the fittest actually means is survival of those most adaptive to change, which is not at all what you are describing.

Because it is a feature article, not a news or news analysis story. The latter types have a very different 'pyramidal structure' where the most salient facts are in the opening sentences and each subsequent paragraph adds less vital supporting information and colour. That story structure was specifically designed so that as different editions of the paper came out, if a story needed to be cut it could be essentially cut from the bottom in ever increasing amounts without it needing to be be re-written; in extremis being cut all the way back to the opening sentence, in which case it would simply be a 'news in brief' or Nib item.

Feature stories have typically attempted to hook the reader not through a news lead, but though a colour intro - and one technique is to introduce an abstract issue by relating it through a case-study. You may not like them, but when done well they can work.

Being done well, however means that the case study should be fairly short and there shouldn't be a mismatch between headline promising one thing and annoying the reader when the opening paragraphs don't deliver.

In traditional print, the combination of headline, subhead and design combined gives you an idea of the type of article you are about to read. However when the headline is simply posted as a link, it can feel like bait-and-switch. You go in expecting a pithy summary of the issues, you get a feature article.

This is a side effect of the way the story is posted, rather than a particular problem with the journalism, in my opinion, though I do think the initial anecdotage is a bit leisurely and meandering in this case, for my taste.

Gee I'd never seen those (the 147) before. It's not far from a super-summarized version of Gracian's Art of Worldly Wisdom. I was lucky enough to visit Delphi when I was 13...

The Delphic Oracle said no-one was wiser than Socrates; Socrates thought he wasn't wise, but came to understand that although no-one else was either, only he knew that he knew nothing. In epistemology (theory of knowledge) class at uni (philosophy course) once I said to the lecturer that I knew nothing. I really believed I knew nothing for certain. He said, not very charitably, "Don't you know your name?". Luckily no-one said that to Socrates. Well, maybe they did.

Although thinking about that now, the Oracle only said that no-one was wiser than Socrates, which is compatible with all men being fools equally. And the Oracle did give similarly veiled, tricky prophecies:

"Croesus...asked if he should make war on the Persians and if he should take to himself any allied force. The oracles to whom he sent this question included those at Delphi and Thebes. Both oracles gave the same response, that if Croesus made war on the Persians, he would destroy a mighty empire...However, it was his empire, not that of the Persians, that was defeated, fulfilling the prophecy but not his interpretation of it."

German here. Our government has pressured Facebook to allow private corporations (that of course are close to the government) to delete Facebook content -posts and pages with millions of followers- for political reasons as they see fit.

The legal process was completely removed. They use this to help their election campaigns by branding government critical content as extremist and having it removed without due process.

You'd think that when they remove content like that, they'd report the offenders to legal authorities -because after all, they are only allowed to remove content that is clearly illegal- but in most cases they don't. They just want the content gone and move on, which makes it very clear that this is just a censorship tool and their generous interpretation of illegal hate speech wouldn't hold up in any court.

> I'm perfectly happy with a state where I can acquire as many resources as possible, even if that incurs a significant cost to others.

I'm not going to judge you on moral grounds. Instead, consider what would happen if everyone lived like that. What kind of world would we have? I think it would be a hellish dog-eat-dog world.

You may believe that the world is already that way, but at the moment, there is a lot of kindness, compassion and consideration too. Instead of that, if everyone had the attitude of "I got mine, f* you", the world would be unimaginably worse than it is now.

Moreover, that kind of living is unsustainable in the long run. If you collect as many resources as possible to the detriment of others, sooner or later others would try to snatch those back from you, even by violence.
Agreed, from the description it sounds closer to "people who are aware of the missing parts in the imagined image".

Never heard of this "condition" before. It may apply to me. I can somewhat imagine a static thing or a face but trying to "zoom in"/"rotate" or imagining smaller details completely ruins the illusion.
I don't know.. but isn't time just the thing we need? The more a library gets used, the more bugs that get discovered.

So the bugs get reported, fixed and the test-set grows, and the software grows more stable?

If the api-surface area doesn't change too much, given the right practices, the software should only grow more stable, right? If bugs like these become rarer and rarer over time, then it's fine, no?

Interesting title. What future would Google have, regarding China, if it doesn't even exist in that country?

By exiting China, except pleasing the those moral puritans, I fail to see what exactly Google achieves. China now has a self-contained internet ecosystem, which is moderated and censored by the party's will, yet vibrant and providing countless business potential and shaping the society at breakneck speed. The only one holds China's internet's future is apparently, China.

I know you've chosen this because you think it's a reductio ad absurdum counterxample, but really, if the market is desperately short of brain surgeons, you might think it would create more, cheaper places at medical schools.

Medicine is a uniquely restrictive market, hemmed in by legal protections and a labor guild system, but some version of this dynamic is operating in many sectors of the American economy: Companies refuse to pay for training, then whine that they can't find suitable candidates.

That's pretty much what I was expecting, and it's great to see that someone's done the work. I never expected my idle musings to be in any way new or insightful, so it's nice to be able to see that at least I'm not completely off-track.

In cars having lower weight & volume makes a big difference (your house has more space, and doesn't have to be lugged around). The safety aspect is a big part also - no risk of exploding cars (and already no risk of batteries being pierced when in a house).
I was obsessed with this software as a kid. I could never get it to run on my computer though.

My PC had a faulty RAM which would get hit somewhere in the middle of installation and trigger the blue screen of death. I tried that install program a hundred times. Tried different distributions, tried changing the OS (98 to ME and back). Nothing worked.

And we couldn't afford getting me a new RAM. Mom and Dad were still repaying the loan that they took three years ago to buy me that broken computer. No way they could add a brand new RAM to their expenses.

But I really wanted to build my own website. I would watch video tutorials of FrontPage (on pirated CDs), and I'd imagine using all the techniques from the videos to design my own website. You could make links (for some reason, links seemed cool), and dynamic links that didn't reload the page (which meant iframes everywhere). You could add clip arts (those tacky office cliparts), and buttons that react to the mouse (I could imagine building whole games out of those).

The possibilities would be endless... if only I could get the money to buy that new RAM.

After attempting and failing a few ideas to raise the money, I decided that the only way I could get that kind of money would be to... write a book!

The book would be a guide to a software called "Multimedia Builder." MMB was a tool to make Autorun programs. You could make a window with buttons, videos, music, interactivity. It even had a scripting language. It was very popular at the time and my classmates were asking me to show them how to use it. I decided I'd write a book about it (there were none on the market), sell the book to a publisher, and use the money to buy not just a new RAM, but a whole new computer!

I drafted the layout (somehow layout was more important than content for me). Outlined the chapters. Built folders of step-by-step screenshots...

... until Mom surprised me with $36 that she had gotten as extra salary! One of the best days of my life! Off I ran to the computer market. Bought a brand new SDR Ram, put it on my underpowered PC400 motherboard, started the computer, put the FrontPage CD in, and fired up install. I remember watching the install progress bar slowly fill. It was always near the halfway mark that the blue screen would appear. I remember the angst I felt as the progress bar approached the halfway mark, passed it, and the screen remained very not blue!

I outgrew FrontPage in two weeks. Turns out, FrontPage can't really do much :)

What I should have learned was actually HTML, CSS, and PHP. Which I did, right after. Funny things is though, they would've all ran fine on my faulty RAM! I could've started my web dev adventure a whole year earlier! Good times.
Markets alone won't do shit of it's not profitable. That's why you need government regulations. Some things should not be driven by profit.

Thinking otherwise is delusional.
To the extent that these card games rest on "winning" a good card by luck in the blind purchase packs they're clearly in the same ball park.

The psychological quirk these games exploit is that some humans get a disproportionate internal reward for taking chances that come off. This quirk gets you polar explorers, and a man on the moon, but it also gets you financial crashes and people losing their life savings on the turn of a card. So, you know, maybe not something we want under the control of a for-profit company.

Traditional gambling laws assume the rewards must be financial, but this psych quirk doesn't care what the reward is, shiny Pokémon cards, virtual currency, anything you perceive as desirable. What's important is that you took a risk and it paid off, if you have this quirk your body rewards you for this entirely luck-based success, of course you want it again.

Note that although Magic itself is going nowhere, this game design trope has been somewhat displaced by designs where players buy fixed decks with fixed boosters - no blind buy. Android Netrunner is an example of that. You know going in that to be competitive you're buying so-and-so many packs to have the best cards, a few extreme choices might mean buying one extra copy of something, but there are no truly "rare" cards.
I would expect US minimums to be far greater than developing countries.
> Such as, in their draft goals [0], under S30200, they outline a memory allocator goal by referring to a proof.

By that argument every implementation of quicksort (say) would be using formal methods. But they aren't. There are some definitions of formal methods allowing this kind of "weaker" form, but for the sake of this discussion such methods do not prevent a particular class of bugs. Explicit goal statements are, while being a very good direction, informal.

> Though, if the parents goal was to imply that the whole of SQLite should be verified... I'm not convinced its entirely possible. Quite a lot of SQLite revolves around things around where the halting problem may come into play.

This is probably correct and I don't recommend to do so. Even CompCert [1], probably the single most verified C compiler, is not absolutely fully verified and of course there had been bugs in the unverified modules (codegen AFAIK). But formal methods can be partially applied to produce provably more correct code (in some metrics).

TLDR;

Most of the cost can be traced back to staff, specifically non-teaching staff. With entire range of sport coaches to councelers on campus, things become expensive. Also, US has 4 different types of universities: public, private non-profit, for-profit, community schools. If you only take public universities in to account, US education system is actually more affordable than France or Canada. So there is huge variance and outliers which throws of the average.
And there's no way to stop it, yet there's no escape for it.

> n each of the poor utilization of skills, I could counter by saying there were other objectives in play. For example, you didn't mention that the "skill that does more damage for every point of missing health on targets" also happens to freeze the target for 1.5 seconds. Perhaps the goal of the bot was just to hold the enemy in place.

Using scythe to hold a Bkb'd target in place is a classic use of an immunity piercing stun acknowledging you'll get zero damage. This wasn't the case in the game I watched them play, it was just "a stun". Which is fine, honestly. But they prioritised the stun over the damage and the respawn time increase (which is actually just as important as the damage). I'm not sure I believe they understood all of the aspects of the spell based on how they used it.

The reality remains that the bots are just playing micro level incredible dota, and macro level mediocre dota. There are endless examples. Giving aegis to supports, never stacking creeps for carries, ganking low importance heros, using DP ult to farm jungle.

They're still better than me and probably anyone I'll ever play with. vOv
The one exam versus continuous assessment is more of a cultural thing.
