I don't, but if you are interested in doing this then you should definitely give it a go.

Beside actually doing good research in the first place, there should not be major barriers to writing and publishing a paper and I don't think there is the kind of gatekeeping that people think there is. Pick a small conference or workshop to start with, read a few papers from previous years to understand the format, style and conventions of the medium, and then you just write and upload your paper by the deadline. There's no more ceremony or secrets than that compared to writing a good technical blog post.

Of course, your research has to be good in the first place. I've seen people try to write papers and get them knocked back and they think it's because they're outsider, when in reality they didn't actually have a research contribution in the first place.
Yes. Because you don’t have to change all of it. A lot of those people are in support, logistics, or working in extremely stable projects (e.g. office).

Besides, the risk here is toxic managerial choices, and you can and do swap out VPs and similar over half a decade.
Would you enjoy always wondering whether e.g. people in your team are listening to you because what you're saying is worth saying, or if they are merely humoring you and tolerate you in their team on account of orders from above?

Something like this must do ugly things to one's mind and one's perception of self-worth.

Sad thing is, a lot of people see it as an admission of guilt if you ask for a lawyer to be present if you're ever questioned by the police. This is crazy. The average person doesn't have a full understanding of the law. You need a lawyer to make sure you're being asked questions that can be legally asked. Having someone there to interpret the law for you is not a bad thing.
Wow this is phenomenal.

Time to install some new backdoors, the public is hip to the old ones. The problem waz always enforcement, not rules. If you keep letting the pedophiles off, the church will be associated with them. Perhaps as it should. Any org with this level of systemic corruption should be investigated, but non-profits and churches seem to get a free pass to unethical and fraudulant behavior over a period of millenia. Show me abusive preists being put in jail, not some new comittee.
I never used the word evil. You have used it three times now.

You are being incredibly dismissive and going out of your way to turn my comment into something black and white when it isn't. You aren't taking what I said extremely literally. You are wildly twisting what I said.

This is not good faith engagement and I don't see any point in trying to clarify anything. I will note you are focused overly much on the things I said about me, which is a common outcome and problematic form of engagement that actively makes it harder for anyone who is not part of the "in crowd" to participate. You seem to have completely glossed over and ignored anything I said about, for example, most people simply not knowing better answers.
Even though I'm largely against air gaps as a defensive measure, there is something to this. Though I think the breadth of the problem isn't properly appreciated. It's too dimensional. There are too many unforeseen interactions and complications with computers and the humans in the organizations that run them. Even leaving aside moles[0] people trust to easily and often have interests that are odds with their organization.

Protesting and complaining isn’t ideal responses in democracy where almost every decision is a compromise. Especially not if you are reactive rather than proactive.

If you want real change, then you can’t just complain for a few days after something shitty happens. You gotta get out there and work for change.

The school is a good example. If our parents protested instead of using the system to open private schools then the schools would probably have been closed. The parents would’ve been angry, but they probably wouldn’t have voted that differently.

Instead they actually build a school within the rules, something which isn’t easy and can’t be done in a few days, and as a result they got their change. The change came at a cost of course, schools aren’t closed for the fun of it, so maybe the elderly get their houses cleaned less as a result, but they still made the change and they wouldn’t have if they hadn’t read the rules and done the hard work.

It’s easy to protest, but it’s also extremely easy to ignore, and often rightly so, because complaining offers no alternatives.

I’m not saying protests can’t change things though, but you need a majority to protest for a long while.
I found that the full-text search on JSON worked remarkably well with Postgres 10 -- surprisingly this was the least of all problems.

The issue with slow counting is this from the wiki page:

> PostgreSQL will take advantage of available indexes against the restricted field(s) to limit how many records must be counted, which can greatly accelerate such queries. PostgreSQL will still need to read the resulting rows to verify that they exist; other database systems may only need to reference the index in this situation.

Typical scenario:

If you make a trivial query that matches a lot of rows (even when using an index). You want to count the number of results in order to tell the user how much they probably have to scroll through (quite important when digging through logs, to know whether you'll have to scroll through doable 3 pages, or impossible 3000 pages).

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM logs WHERE object->>environment == 'production'

Then the WHERE will match 100 million rows, and postgres will scan them all for existence (due to reason quoted above), no matter if `object->>environment` has an index on it or not.

This will take many minutes, even on SSDs, just for showing a COUNT.
Which doesn't answer the question.
Not being a JavaScript guy, my eyes sort of glazed over after the flame graphs. Do I understand the gist of it right that a 200+ millisecond delay is normal if you just have 56KB of light blog page style JavaScript code whose loading you do not somehow optimize? Or is there something pathological in play here?
Very nice. Reading that makes me miss Google’s internal dev environment. I may not much use anymore Google Search and gmail, but Google’s paid products like GCP (and Google Play Music, Movies, etc.) are awesome. Also, amazing permanent free tier levels. I need to use github for the repos for my books because they are already linked, but for my personal private repos I think I may switch.
IPFS will need very big gateways because until that happens IPFS needs to grow a lot. And even then I doubt browsers would just ship a P2P application to autostart with the browser to the consumer.

Fascinating! It seems like a cross-over concept of CoreOS and FreeBSD jails.

It seems as if it is just the base system for now (and a bit complex), but I think this kind of architecture is great for “IoT” use-cases when the source of the sensor data should be protected from the containers who are processing the data (i.e. in sealed environments). Can't wait to try this.
I sometimes feel like currency is a primitive preliminary to this social points system.

People who show unusual or controversial behaviour (be it political or social) will soon loose sources of income and thereby social status.

People who stick to the accepted norms and ethics and do not act up will on average have the chance to move up the ladder and earn more money and prestige.

The analogy is not perfect, of course, but money has similar effects on our society.
I’m not sure I passed any judgement on which is better but Fred is a very well practiced presenter and so I do recommend watching if you want to see how he emphasized particular points. (His slide artwork is also worthtuning in for.)

Why S-Curves Are Probably the Most Important Concept in Entrepreneurship
In the field of medicine this is standard, at least in the UK. Many medical specialties expect you to have a PhD to get a good senior post in a teaching hospital. To get a good PhD grant you are expected to have a pedigree of publishing research, and the classic way to do that is join a research group on your days off/evenings/weekends.

I’m lucky enough to be on a good PhD programme so my 9-5 is now academia, but in my late 20s a typical weekend and weeknight would involve a couple of hours of academic writing which I would be doing “for free”. I’d be first or second author on the papers, but I’d be publishing under the institution of the group I’d tagged on to.
It's not a Lisp, but Haxe ( https://haxe.org/ ) transpiles both to JS and Python. It does have a Lisp interpreter/REPL ( https://github.com/tluyben/hatch ) but it won't actually transpile the Lisp code itself.

That being said, I think it might be difficult to find a language satisfying (2) - transpilers typically don't target readability, IME.
The concept also feels similar to Qubes OS.

> Why have jurors at all ? Over here in the Netherlands people are judged by ... judges (what's in a name).

Because it limits the power of the state. The state, in the US, does not have absolute power to convict anyone of anything.

In the Netherlands, the state does have that power. That means you have exactly zero chance against a corrupt complaint against you.

https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2016/11/20/onschuldig-en-veroordee...

In practice, the police and prosecutor in the Netherlands are both rewarded financially and have an internal culture that glorifies getting convictions. Needless to say, this means they often successfully prosecute innocents, knowing full well what they're doing.

So I guess you can just decide for yourself. Do you trust the state ? People like to answer in the affirmative, even when boatloads of evidence is available that sometimes significant parts of the state, including the Dutch state, isn't even corrupt, but outright criminal for malevolent reasons (meaning police trying to get innocents convicted out of spite, or revenge, has happened more than a few times).

Jury trials provide some (imperfect) measure of protection against such abuses.

The article is a little oddly worded at that point, but it clarifies later on.

After he had been in jail for 19 years the warden noticed his artistic skills and asked him to draw a picture of a hole at Augusta.

It was after that that the review of his case started. It took another eight years for that review to result in an overturn of the conviction.

Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event
I think it’s more a problem with most companies of any size.

It’s not the devs. The owners likely become sufficiently detached from the end product and experience and sales/marketing teams are left to squeeze every bit of fiscal value from the thing. That usually results in battles for new analytics or new features that usually look like background software/network bloat, and judging the client to increase their spend no matter what. Those teams always have to post higher numbers regardless of the market.

Not that I disagree.
I have used YAML and JSON and I loathe them both for reasons that are probably well known to many. I have, however, not used TOML - so I would very much like to hear the viewpoint of someone who has. If you use TOML today, do you see SAN as valuable? Why exactly?
I've also been around long enough

RCS provided revision control
CVS provided concurrent checkouts by different users
Subversion allowed moves and renames and atomic commits
git is distributed.

Each one of those was so much better than the previous one that it replaced the previous one, despite that previous one being ubiquitous.

Mercurial might be 5% or 20% better than git, but it doesn't matter. It's not 300% better.

Mercurial won't take over after git, in the same way KDE won't take over after Windows. The next thing has to be the iPhone - the thing that changes the paradigm completely.

I do. I was in academia for over 15 years, and exited almost 2 years ago. Since then I've published quite a few papers, and stayed active in conference organization / journal editorial activities. Lately, I've slowed down notoriously, I'm busy enough with my day job.

I think it helps if you have a good group of people to work with, since it motivates you, and you get good feedback (also helpful if they're still in academia and can easily register/attend conferences and/or pay open access fees).
Yeah, wow; it's just an application of existing tech. very scary.
I interpret that as: nearly two decades in, his artwork was noticed. 27 years is the total time he spent in prison. So about years would have passed while he appealed his case.
A combination of both: the card company will notify you of known issues and clean up what they can, but they won’t catch everything. In any case, it’s a good idea to be regularly monitoring your card statement anyway because stolen card numbers aren’t the only issue with excessive charges you might face: there are also incorrect billing charges from legit vendors who made a mistake, being signed up for services you didn’t want (like the kind Wells Fargo was found guilty for doing), etc.
To be fair, even a cursory examination of how much time and effort they get to put into these cases, they cannot.

I remember reading that a judge has, on average, spent 16 minutes or less on convictions for less than 1 year sentence.

The state makes it impossible for people to do that, even if they were so inclined in the first place. And, of course, they have to consider that they go against part of their own organization to make this happen (meaning some of your colleagues will want a conviction and you preventing them from getting that will have costs).

Some of the issues magically got faster with `VACUUM ANALYZE`, but it would be great to know whether TimescaleDB can be tuned to support this out of the box so that it's always as fast as Elasticsearch.

I have already written some scripts to preload postgres with an example data set; if I get some help with it, I could make that run against TimescaleDB, so that it can easily be evaluated whether it solves this use case, or whether it improves over time.

Actually, outside of the US, not many countries have juries for most crimes.

In most of Western Europe, juries are only possible for murder (or worse). For everything else, a judge decides without any recourse for the population. There, you do not have the right to a jury trial at all.

It’s similar, but in capitalist systems all get a weighted vote on how many points you get. (Either by buying your time/products or if I’m your boss I can promote/fire you). By the look of it, the Chinese system gives complete control to the government. So it’s analogous to a fully planned economy.

On the other hand, it only takes one of the 12 to stop justice from being served if they for whatever reason disagree with the other 11.

> inally, a jury doesn't need law education. Their job is to judge the facts. They are informed of the definitions of the crime, and the evidence, and must reach a verdict of yes he did this or no he did not. Upon rendering a guilty verdict, the actual law part of the law is executed by the judge.

Except they don't just judge facts. They judge based on the stories they're told. Even if the evidence (facts) is lacking, a good story can still sway people. This would be a lot less likely if the panel consisted of people educated on the law (eg. judges).
There's a reason the supreme court consists of judges, not 12 (or 9...) random people from your populace.

Yes, that makes sense. I still hold that the deliberate omission of her party relationship until later in the article is to initially position her as a third party positive voice who happens to support the system.
