The article gets at the central problem of atheism: that atheists are so arrogant as to think they can prove a negative in an infinity (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) of space-time.

Although is it childishly simple to disprove some purported characteristics of a creator (omniscience, for example, is disprovable on the grounds that the future of complex dynamic systems cannot be predicted) it is pure arrogance to assert that one does not exist without searching the entire universe at all scales.

The realization that religion is gobbledygook passed down from one shithead to another does not automatically lead to enlightenment, and it should not erase humility.

I've been a Mac user since 2006 & own 4 MacBooks, but I just ordered a Lenovo X1 Thinkpad because I'm sure it has to be better quality than the last MacBook Pro I bought. That MBP is a completely unreliable lemon, it's been serviced by the Apple Store 5 times. And when I hear friends complain of broken keyboards, failing SATA cables, and now failing SSDs on their Macs, I just can't trust Apple laptops anymore.

The deciding factor for me was Lenovo's replaceable SSD, which meant I could upgrade it to more storage than a Surface Book 2 (so modularity was important). The fact that the Thinkpad was $1500 cheaper was just icing on the cake, not the deciding factor. I also thought the Thinkpad was likely to be less fragile than a Surface Book 2.

But I do agree the majority of Lenovo's unit sales are probably their awful cheap consumer line that sells in the $400 range, not $3000 Thinkpads.

No, but seriously, it is true that Sweden (and social _democracy_ in general) is a way of forbidding citizens to live in extreme poverty, to the benefit of everyone.

This is not imposed on the citizens themselves but rather the state.

We do this by having the state make sure there are provisions in place to TRY to take care of everyone.
You might have to be able to navigate the society to some extent though, something that can be especially hard for individuals with mental illnesses or drug addiction (in many ways these are ofc connected).

It can also be true if you are actually not a citizen.

I keep several logs (I'm a product manager):

1. a "Weekly Notes" file where I track meetings or other notes that come up
2. a separate 1 on 1 file for each recurring 1 on 1 meeting that I have
3. a "Customer Meetings" file for tracking notes from customer meetings
4. a "[customer name]" file for notes from meetings with important/key customers
5. a Pomodoro Google Sheet file that I use to log my daily tasks and how much time I spend on them- each task is categorized and feeds into a "Summary" sheet that tells me how much time I'm spending on specific categories of activities month to month.

My usual workflow is to track meeting notes in my "Weekly Notes" file and review all notes in that file at the end of each week. I either delete information that's not valuable, move "valuable" information to specific files from #2-4, or create tasks in my to do list (which then feeds my Pomodoro sheet), so at the end of each week the "Weekly Notes" file is completely empty.
It doesn't have to be like this though. One of my banks has an interface in the mobile app where I can unlock different continents for purchases and withdrawals for a set amount of time.

I don't know there is any controversy as such. The FSF is doing its job and reminding everyone that freedom includes the freedom to make money.

If your software is licensed under something that includes the Commons Clause then it isn't free software, because users are not free to do what they want with it (being limited by the Commons Clause, funnily enough).

I'd hazard the only reason this is worth a mention is because "Commons Clause" sounds a lot like "Creative Commons" and, as the article mentions, it is a also misleading because it is attached to licenses in a way that changes them from Free Software licenses to [-O-p-e-n-S-o-u-r-c-e- +] proprietary software licenses. Someone scanning the license could think "oh, this is xyz license that is free, all is good" and not pick up on the Commons Clause. It is a bit insidious like that.

+ EDIT - Scratch that, it isn't even open source.
The OP has a problem: The algorithms don't give any significant, meaningful results. E.g., can run one of the algorithms, and it can report that there is an outlier or not, and in either case we have no idea if the answer is better than just something from reading tea leafs.

For sorting numbers, an algorithm is appropriate, e.g., heap sort, once we have checked the algorithm and shown that actually does sort. For outlier detection, we have no such simple criterion that the algorithm did anything meaningful.

For some first progress, we can consider the framework of statistical hypothesis testing with Type I error, Type II error, and the probability of Type I error. If we can do some derivations so that we know the probability of Type I error, then we have a meaningful way to know how seriously to take the result.

E.g., suppose we are receiving points one at a time. Our null hypothesis is that the points are independent and have the same distribution. Then Type I error is saying that a point violates the null hypothesis, is an outlier, when it does not. A Type II error is saying that the point does satisfy the null hypothesis when it does not.

Generally we want to be able to adjust, set, and know the probability of Type I error. Then we have an outlier technique with some meaning. If in addition, e.g., via the classic Neyman-Pearson result, we can show that for the probability of Type I error we have selected we get the lowest possible probability of Type II error, then we have the best possible test.

The OP is too eager to work with a Gaussian assumption. Too commonly in practice, that assumption is absurd. Instead, we should be able to work with a distribution free assumption, that is, the null hypothesis assumes that all the data has the same distribution but we don't know what that distribution is.

For us (Dropbox), the threshold ended up being multiple product teams having to implement ad-hoc two-phase commit over their datatypes and burning engineer hours not to implement it but to prove that they had gotten it right and to handle the clean up after any unsuccessful writes.

You're right that most systems probably don't need 2PC, which is why Edgestore didn't include it until now. As mentioned in the post, we finally felt that we had reached the right balance of tradeoffs to justify the API-level primitive.

Funny you mention that - my MacBook Pro was repeatedly serviced during my 3 year AppleCare period, and I noticed that instead of my warranty status showing AppleCare on the statements, after the first couple of services that status had changed to "Australian Consumer Law Requirement".

They still didn't provide me with a replacement machine though - they just keep replacing the SATA flex cable every few months. I'm switching to a ThinkPad now.

> I'm willing to grant to the user every right offered by free software licenses with the exception of rights to commercial use.

From the FSF's point of view - that's fine, but it's no longer "free software". Which I agree with.

They're somewhat grumpy, I think understandably, that companies like RedisLabs and MongoDB take the name and all of the text of a free license - and then make it non-free while keeping most of the brand recognition of the free license. As you suspect, it's misleading to end users.

I think the Creative Commons people did some good work on this front, having the concept of things like "non-commercial" and "No derivatives" as explicit modifiers added to tne name/title of a license, to make it very clear up fromnt. wonder if the FSF would be happier if, for example, RedisLabs had chosen to use something like "Apache2 non commercial" instead of the less self explanatory "Apache 2.0 modified with Commons Clause" ???

Vitess is a bit less of an application abstraction layer in the sense of Edgestore, Tao, and others, and more of an operational abstraction that hides physical sharding and taking the pain out of repartitioning to accommodate new capacity.

Neanderthals aren't legally human and organoids do not have awareness in the manner you are attempting to establish. Interestingly, a network of organiods, connected via neuromorphic arbiters, could provide some interesting intepretations of awareness, especially when the organoids cross species lines.

From a national security perspective, the West has to get over its crippling squeamishness on all things genomics or else the Chinese will completely dominate the neuromorphic space.

From a moral perspective, if you are concerned about stopping slavery, I recommend tackling actual instances of it, such as the open air slave markets in Libya or addressing the valid concerns of any one of the hundreds of millions of rural Chinese.

From an ethical standpoint, there are a couple federally funded institutions that traffic stem cells who could use some spotlight in them.

I'm unsure if a religious institution mired in worldwide pedophilia accusations is the right party you want to associate with to stop this. I recommend stepping off the soapbox for a moment and try explaining, precisely, how many neurons are required for the sentience you are describing. Is it 1? 10? 1,345?

Quantifying sentience is your burden. Blanket policies of "all neurons are sacred" are prematurely alarmist.

BY-NC sounds philosophically like exactly what OP wants, but those licenses are not intended for software and the CC org themselves say:

"We recommend against using Creative Commons licenses for software. Instead, we strongly encourage you to use one of the very good software licenses which are already available. We recommend considering licenses made available by the Free Software Foundation or listed as “open source” by the Open Source Initiative."
When someone releases their software under GPL, they still retain certain rights rather than granting them to the recipient - notably, the right to sell it commercially without providing the source, and without requiring the buyers to adhere to the terms of the GPL. This is clearly a valuable right, seeing how many companies have business models that are built around dual-licensing GPL'd code for commercial proprietary use.

Strictly speaking, the only license that doesn't have the copyright holder retaining any rights is the lack of one (i.e. releasing to public domain). If you're not releasing to PD, that's necessarily because you want to retain some rights. And then it's just a question of which ones. GPL has one answer, something like MIT has another, and Commons Clause has another still. I fail to see what makes some of them proprietary, while others are not.

From my perspective, if I can get the code, hack on it, and release the changed version to others who can also do all of these things in turn, that's enough to make it non-proprietary already. Proprietary is when the software is closed source outright, or the source is provided for "educational use only" (i.e. no derived works allowed), or when derived works cannot be redistributed. Licenses that allow redistribution of patches, but not original code with patches applies, would be the grey territory.

> Something I'd like to see is benchmarks of batch-query performance: If we can queue a couple of queries, then trees should gain a lot from processing them in-order (then, the last query has already warmed the cache for the next; this probably can pay for approximately sorting the batch).

I'm not sure if this is your point, but when you actually look at the uses of trees like the above (often: query processing) then the point look-up times are less relevant for implementations that do not serialize the look-ups.

Another place this shows up is when folks switch from closed-loop testing to open-loop testing (i.e. testing under a fixed rate of look-ups, rather than one or some few at a time). The latency-throughput trade-off curve makes trees look a lot less bad, but they still have a large minimal latency. A hash map with a sorted key (e.g. RobinHood hashing) still works better except at peak loads.

You can take this just a bit further and you find that replacing trees with a sorted list also works great (or, LSM of sorted lists, say). "Great" here just means "has some tolerable minimum latency, and peak throughput".

I get your joke but the concern he expresses is only relevant to the Omega-3. In the case of vitamin D, outside of sunlight exposure, supplements are basically your only practical option. Furthermore, the foods mentioned often have it added (milk nearly always does) and so one would want to be aware of that before adding it further from another supplement.

At worst, the paragraph is just a poorly constructed catch all warning.

Bottom line is, get your Omega-3 from fish. Get your Vit D from the sun as much as you safely can and then from common sources before jumping to a separate supplement.

I think the author of that blog post fundamentally misunderstands the point: The damage of nullable pointers is not that they are nullable, but that compilers allow you to write code everywhere that assumes they’re not null (in fact, this is the only possible way to code, when the language cannot express the notion of a non-nullable reference!)

For example, most older languages with “the billion dollar mistake” have no complaint whatsoever when your write “object.method();” where it’s unknown at this scope whether “object” is null or not.

The fact that such code compiles is the billion dollar mistake; not the fact that the pointer is nullable.

I don’t care if you want to write nullable references everywhere, or whatever else you prefer or your application demands. That’s fine, so long as:

1. Non-nullable reference types must exist.

2. Nullable references types must exist as statically distinct from #1.

3. The compiler must not let you write code that assumes a nullable reference is not null, unless you check via a control flow statement first.

Now to take a step back, the principle behind this certainly applies beyond just nullability (if that was the point you were trying to make): Generally, dynamic, untyped invalidation states are dangerous/bad, while statically typed invalidation states are ideal. And yes, this does include bad states internal to a non-null reference, just as much as to a null reference.

Sum types are the key to being able to statically declare what range of values a function may return (or accept), and ensure at compile time that these different cases are all accounted for. If you aren’t aware of how elegantly sum types solve this, you should look into it — and I suspect it will be quickly clear why nullable references are useless, outdated, and harmful.

But at the very least, we’ve solved the pain of null dereference — and virtually without compromise. So, it’s irresponsible or ignorant IMO to create a new language that doesn’t include this solution in its core.

I'm not an expert by any means, but if the Commons Clause's FAQ is accurate, the copyright holder is only retaining a very specific right to commercial use, not all rights to commercial use:

"Commons Clause only forbids you from “selling” the Commons Clause software itself. You may develop on top of Commons Clause licensed software...and you may embed and redistribute Commons Clause software in a larger product, and you may distribute and even “sell” (which includes offering as a commercial SaaS service) your product...You just can’t sell a product that consists in substance of the Commons Clause software and does not add value."

I see how that restricts my rights as a user, but those are rights I simply don't care about. Back in the days of dialup, people were able to make a few bucks by selling Linux CDs to help other users get started. But what examples are there today of unmodified free software being sold by someone other than the primary developer, aside from various app store scams?
