The bar in academia (over-generalizing here) was so low for so long that anything around including your code with your publication still gets placed under the historical title of "reproducibility" - that's probably where the confusion here is arising. I agree with your sentiment, but grandparent probably just meant "a lot of people release their code as notebooks".
That's true but ideally you would like the native format to be easily diffable (e.g., plain text) and not require special tools.
Unrolling the computation of the series, it is possible to compute f(n) using only f(n-4) and f(n-8):

f(n) = 7*f(n-4)-f(n-8)

So, using 4-vector operations, you can compute 4 numbers in one step.
I recently built a "vacuum tube nightlight" (http://www.electronixandmore.com/projects/vrtubenightlight/i...) because I thought the plasma tubes give off such a nice glow. But they aren't very bright and it's hard to see the plasma; these rectifiers are way more attractive but I can't bring myself to work with them.
Uh, yeah, that's precisely what I said, so. Agree. What about what I said indicated to you that I think cartoons are a requirement?

Your requirements made me think of Cactus (https://github.com/eudicots/Cactus). It was pretty nice but I don't think it's being actively maintained anymore.
Yup. Creating a pedantic definition of zero-g to mean "no gravitational field" is pretty useless since you'll always be in the presence of a gravitational field no matter where you are in the universe. The accepted definition is just that your g-meter reads zero.

The term microgravity get used because things in orbit due to tidal forces, different orbital planes, air resistance, solar wind, and radiation pressure.

There's a lot of really strong feelings on the subject though. I'd like to think that GR would let people reach some common ground, but not so much.

That was like Running maps locally. My first guess was it must be serving from some super local cdn cache. So tried looking for the data serving domain. It feels even more awesome after looking at latency number.

This is loading all data from maps.wikimedia.org.

So even after getting additional latency penalty of ~60ms, it still feels snappier! Imaging it could be even more faster with local CDN nodes. 60ms = ~3 Frames on 60Hz Monitor refresh rate.

When/as more and more employees are paid to / held to a standard that keeps them a paycheck or two from insolvency, these mandated non-disclosure/-disparagement/-right-to-sue agreement, in return for severance pay/benefits, have taken on increasing pressure and importance.

I've been using VSTS (Visual Studio Team Services) for a few years now, and I think it's great.

But this looks like they've just changed the URL and stuck the name "Azure DevOps" onto the VSTS site? Even the pricing and plans seem to be the same - I really don't get how they're talking like they're launching something new, rather than just having a rebranding exercise after buying GitHub.

This sounds like "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger" or "no pain no gain".

I know there needs to be work to make things better, and to come up with solutions that will always incur adaptation, but I don't see how it necessarily involves struggle and difficulty.

Difficulty is not the goal, but we should not stop at difficulty if the result is worth it.

Swieros: A tiny hand crafted CPU emulator, C compiler, and Operating System
The fact is that you can't easily do the last part without a central server.

There might be some public or semi-public servers for this kind of thing available somewhere, or the alternative that I played with a few years ago was to compress and base64 encode the connection information into a string, and allow users to share the link with friends via whatever method they want, and that can then be expanded client side and used to establish the connection. (Or something like qr codes I've also seen used)

Sadly I never finished that project, so I don't really have any code to show you, but in theory it should work okay.
He and his team should be praised and prized for the achievement and results.

On the other side, this shows how slowly ideas can spread even in globalization times. I'm a pediatrician in Brazil and have used and been taught to use improvised bubble CPAP, with great results, since the nineties. I've heard reports of its successful use since, at least, the 80's decade.

I hope those devices can swiftly be fully scientifically validated and reach all needing regions of the world.

The handshake description is basically a static RSA key exchange. This is deprecated in TLS 1.3 and largely unused even in older TLS versions, because it's horrible. (I wrote a paper to show how horrible it is.)

more of the same

Oh, I don't know about that.

There are many new things I can think of, and wish to create, but there are some non-trivial artificial barriers between me, and the tools I need, to complete the tasks.

Things like licensing dongles and lawsuits, and access tokens, and passwords, and CD keys, and agreements to never reverse engineer, and bandwidth caps, and CPU core count or MAC address access limits. And lockstep dependency hell, and the decay of unavailable compatible versions reaching EOL.

Even if I had unlimited time to do whatever I want, I don't have capacity for unlimited spending, to authorize access to all the tools and remote resources needed, to create all the prototypes I want.

Then, what about getting you to even consider my voice as credible? What would I have to do, to prove myself, such that you'd consider adopting my invention.

Lastly, what if I am not regarded as morally pure, or somehow unsavory in character? This is to say, maybe some find my political leanings dubious. To some people that might preclude them giving me the time of day, let alone considering the utility of my invention.

Maybe the morality or default practical utility of my invention is suspect, and thus reflects upon my character.

I'm smart enough to invent a new application for the remote control of a device, but I'm unable to collect the resources I need to do it. So, intellect isn't the limiting factor here. I'm prevented from accomplishing the goal, because no one will sponsor the effort.

Some people don't like my appearance. Others don't like my personal style. Still others look at my code and scoff at the runtime, or the syntax formatting, or the compositional choices. Others think they can guess my age. Others carry an ethnic or sexist bias. The list goes on. But no one wants to see me as their boss, and raise an eyebrow at the idea of me even as a peer.

I cannot dress as I want, keep my hair as I want, speak as I want. I have to jump through hoops of social decorum, such that select audiences will not cringe and flee.

And this is just me. I'm sure there are other people like me or smarter no doubt, out there, stuck in a cage. Doomed to age out and whither away, never adding to the conversation, because of all the prerequisites to speaking at all.
As an economist I understand this issue 100%. But I rarely see the shady/seedy items in practice. Morale really sucks in places where illegitimate moves happen. And devs aren't idiots, they speak up and even whistle blow if something looks off. My experience in this world is that folks at the top and supporting roles want to operate in good faith.
Which is because of the effects of what you said...

If no one panics, then you generally don't get charged with anything, except possibly trespassing.
Reddit has just gotten too big. So much of the bigger subs are fluffed with surreptitious sponsored content, reputation management, etc. I would have thought that that was where Reddit made the real money, by providing a back-end to make ads look like organic content, by helping moneyed backers influence discussion toward their monetised and brand-building ends.

If Reddit isn't charging and managing those using their platform for that purpose -- not an insignificant number, surely -- they are fools.
That's super motivating, thanks for taking the time to comment!

You are definitely an old curmudgeon, and I assume you are proud of that. Ironic thing about your link is that it's using Cloudflare

...So in an up-to-date browser it comes over TLS 1.3 (Cloudflare enables this by default, technically they're talking Draft 28, but this differs from the final RFC only in that drafts deliberately switch off TLS 1.3 downgrade protection since otherwise each draft would be mutually incompatible with every other system)

...So the description of how this works ends up being wrong for the site it's describing because it assumes TLS 1.{0,1,2} semantics but

...Despite the micro version change, TLS 1.3 is a significantly different protocol, both in how it begins and in details like resumption (now handled with PSKs) that this post describes for older SSL/TLS. It looks enough like TLS 1.2 that dumb middleboxes let it past.

One seldom acknowledged reason to write this sort of explanation (as a cartoon, as blog post, as a slide deck, whatever) is that the process of explaining something to other people clarifies our own understanding. When you're rehearsing "And of course the hats are invisible to bears, because..." you pause for a second -- wait, why _are_ these hats invisible to bears? Now that you come to say it, that's incredible and you realise you don't know. You go away and read the source materials - aha! Now you know why the hats are invisible and so although the purported purpose was to teach others, what you've actually done is learn for yourself.

Given the apparently coordinated action taken by Facebook, Twitter, Apple, and YouTube (Google), it doesn't seem to be independent, private companies acting independently.

It may not be a violation of the First Amendment, but it could be bumping up against antitrust law. Taken together, these companies have a significant near-monopoly in content distribution.

It's more like the power company or the gas company cutting you off because they don't like your politics. Yes, technically you can use a generator or get propane delivered, but the question is whether they should be legally allowed to cut you off.

If they are truly a public square and common carrier, then these platforms need to permit all content that does not violate the law.

>doxing me by posting my home address, contact information and personal history without any recourse

Why should that information be protected in the first place? It's not much different than a phone book. Your full name, address, phone number, etc are all linked to your identity. Once someone has one, it becomes nearly impossible to stop them from getting the others.

The problem with doxxing is that it usually comes with a threat of violence from ideological opponents. I think what many people should be fighting for is the right to anonymity. For your identity to never be revealed in the first place. Free speech can't truly be expressed if having the "wrong" opinion leads to some wingnut smashing your head with a bike lock.
> Technology at its core is anti-life. It is anti-biological. It is what results when the mind dreams up what it thinks are more efficient ways to build but inevitably ends up as more efficient ways to destroy. It starts as hammers and ends as robots. To some it seems innocent, neutral. To others even good. To some, tech is universally good. But tech begets more tech. And that tech creates problems that requires more tech, and on and on. It is a constant, never-ending treadmill. What seems so great at first always has dark offspring, or dark debt we don't see.

How about glasses or contacts? You'd have a hard time convincing folks that their glasses are anti-life, anti-biological and have some sinister dark side.
Sometimes it feels like we are in competition to claim that we are the least fortunate of all sub-groups. Not future focused at all.
It is primarily the FUD and dozens of high profile news outlets using, if not outright lies, then very close to deceitful headlines and reporting to paint a catastrophic picture which seems to be what causes randoms and people not keenly in the know to lose their shit and tank the stock.

It may have been inflated especially if you believe the value represented the here and now but the fundamentals haven't changed, in fact they may be even better than expected. Once Tesla hits profitability on the account sheet (they already make close to 20% on every Model 3 sold but are 'losing' money because of heavy investment as far as I can tell).

They're betting big on at least mid range Trucking switching electric because according to them it'll be cheaper to operate electric fleets. They got a pickup, the model y, planned to begin production soonish. They can lower their unit prices once they hit massive scales due to multiple gigafactories. They operate their own charging network, no other car manufacturer comes anywhere close to what they have.

My thinking is that the biggest slump in terms of uncertainty (if there ever was any) and production trouble and cash flow is now past. I bet now is the best time to buy Tesla until ever again because they're very likely about to skyrocket imo. If so, thank Elon for hitting that blunt, I guess.
In such a use case, the whole point is showing your work in a 'literate programming' manner i.e. having the appropriate code that's being run be right there between the descriptive text, instead of just running do_something() that you imported from somewhere.
Current education process does not seem to be successful at sorting by "intelligence", "success in life" or any other metric I can think of. So this seems actually like a good argument to change it (maybe towards cooperation), because it fails even at one thing it is supposed to be good at.
My personal issue with unilateral free speech is that it's kind of self-defeating.

To my understanding, the essential value of free speech is that it protects the unpopular voices... but because of how the system works, the ones without power have substantially more difficulty having their ideas heard. Unilateral free speech makes it impossible for anything except the popular opinions to be voiced without being drowned out.

I can't think of a solution to this, unfortunately.

This one is somewhere in the middle, to be honest (no offense meant to your friend). I realize what people writing research papers have to deal with (really!), but the words "scales to 837 instructions" and "practical" should never appear in the same abstract.

PBQP and friends can handle larger functions in better time bounds (and give near-optimal or optimal results for the problem they solve).

This is one reason PBQP is actually part of LLVM mainline.

Unison (the framework your friend uses), will never be part of LLVM (or GCC, or ...) unfortunately.
I think GP's point was that measuring utopianess is difficult because it's all relative (like poverty or torture).

In other words, you can't measure it directly. For example, if you went to the future and noted a person owned a flying car, had infinite food and a huge castle would you be able to measure the poverty level of that person? No - it depends on how much his peers have. If his peers own spaceships and planets, then he is rather poor by comparison.
Look up his. He's a widely cited psychological researcher, and regarded as an authority by other researchers. His lectures like this one are based on specific research.
