Can I ask what you're losing faith in? I've just joined the infosec workforce but it's been a hobby of mine for awhile(22 y/o). I've already become jaded and bitter at this industry. I just see the industry being pillaged by profiteers at a detriment to the health of the industry.
Ah, I see your point now. However, in practice this is not the case. These hash-based systems scale very well in large organizations. Some more info from Google about Bazel: https://qconsf.com/sf2010/dl/qcon-sanfran-2010/slides/Ashish...

Over the past 10 years I've had the misfortune of working with most major historians in the field (Oracle's the biggest one I never encountered) and not a single one implemented process data storage on top of a relational database. Some used relational databases to store asset metadata, so maybe that's what you're thinking of?

If you read all the way to the end Stonebraker is actually advocating for specialized architectures like, array databases (SciDB) and stream processing engines like StreamBase, which at the time was just gaining GUI-based query creation capabilities because it was difficult to teach its non-relational concepts to SQL users.
No, this is more about the philosophy of mathematics -- the question of "to which degree is mathematics 'real'?" Gödel did have an impact on this, with formalism no longer being a particularly viable viewpoint. But this is less of a strict mathematical question and more of a philosophical one.

I think you're dismissing people's issues too easily. I've lived in Alabama before, and heeellll no I wouldn't want to settle down there. This isn't the only problem I had with the area (I lived in several different parts), but it felt super, super hostile to not-driving. And I should know, I had to bike around a lot as a mormon missionary there. We didn't even bother checking transit, it was taken as a given that it would be too slow and sparse to be useful.

My wife is even harder on this line than I am. We live in Munich now, and the biggest reason she doesn't want to come back to the US is that she doesn't want to go back to driving everywhere, and there are only a few cities where a family can reasonably and easily get away without a car.
One interesting aspect of mercury is the number of available back-ends (grades) [1]. I'm curious if anyone has any experience using the FFI [2] for embedding mercury into a larger Java, C# or Erlang project.

Regarding the free account limit: 1000 data points in time series world is pretty much nothing. What happens if you reach that limit, does it just delete the oldest point? This would give you a month worth of data with one data point every hour or 16 hours at one point per minute. Though at one point per minute, you'd also exceed the rate limit of 1000 API calls per day. So you're stuck with one data point per hour I guess or maybe one per 5 minute interval and 3 days of data retention. I guess one could argue "but it's free!".

There's no way to do any processing of the data like aggregations, min/max, grouping etc. meaning one would have to always fetch the raw data points and then do processing yourself. This kinda works because the amount of datapoints that this supports is so incredibly low. Seeing billions of datapoints over thousands of time series is not that uncommon and you wouldn't be able to use this service for those cases even with the "Business Pro" account for $450/month.

When it comes to serious business users, you should ensure that you don't impose any hard limits on them, instead charge them for the usage. You point out how scalable the service is but you don't allow customers to scale their usage of it. Consider why every cloud vendor (AWS, Google, Azure) charges for example per API call, per amount of objects stored etc. They are happy to take your 10 Petabytes of data and charge you handsomely for it.

Overall it seems like a service for toy projects or projects with very very low amounts of data. But then again you'd be able to store this amount of data in any SQL DB without problem while retaining control of your data, having much more flexibility, getting more speed out of it and being able to do computations on the data in an easier way. This is just too limited, both in terms of amount of data as well as featureset.

I dunno, I like it when people come to me with problems they need solved. You get to work with a stimulating variety of issues, get to meet more of your coworkers and earn their gratitude, and there's a real satisfaction in knowing that people see you as a capable problem-solver. I'd actually really enjoy having a job as "the guy who makes the tools work better for everyone else."
I live outside of Detroit. All your points and criticisms are valid. When I visit the coasts, I often tell people who ask that it was nice to spend some time in a "real" city. The true "big city" core of Detroit is quite small, and whenever I'm in Chicago or even Cleveland I'm reminded of that fact.

That said, the experience in the downtown/midtown core of Detroit has improved drastically since the bankruptcy. It feels incredibly vibrant. When I started working there in 2012, the city felt completely empty after about 5:30. Today, downtown is buzzing seemingly all night.

Even if you live within walking distance of your office, though, you still need a car to get groceries though, and as much as it sucks, I don't see how that changes anytime soon (or within my lifetime).
That's wonderfully articulated. I've subconsciously seen that behaviour in workplaces for a long time, but never really noticed it as a class division thing - having read this though I can look back and see very clearly that the people constantly going on about their food/exercise/holidaying choices are very much on the middle class side of the divide.

It would be pointless to try to speak to your particular situation, but I think a lot of people who think they can't get this or that thing out of, say, Nashville or Minneapolis, or whatever, are wrong. I don't mean to say their opinion is wrong. Live wherever you want! I mean to say that they have objectively false impressions about quantifiable aspects of those cities.
Is this really Lamarckism though? It seems that what the paper describes is a mechanism in which specific cells "infuse" sperm with information relating to specific stresses.

Ultimately, we could interpret this mechanism as a trans-generational evolutionary defense against stresses (for instance, famines). But those mechanisms would themselves have evolved through the process of natural selection, and these "sperm influencing" cells would themselves be coded in our DNA.

That is to say, introducing a new kind of stress or environmental factor would not trigger any of these cells and would have no effect.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that's how I understood the paper.
That essay is a significant source of belief in the myth of inherent mathematical truth, but it has flaws and is far from proof. It focuses on cherry-picked phenomena that are easily represented by simple math, but ignores those where math struggles or appears to be inherently incapable.

Most importantly, the leap that if a medium can be used to create accurate representations, it must contain inherent, unquestioning truth about that represented phenomena, is just hogwash. Michelangelo could sculpt masterful representations of the human form, but the beauty and accuracy of the representation are the products of a skilled master, not the inherent humanness of marble.

Removing an unnecessary dependency is a good analogy. From a Curry-Howard perspective, intuitionistic proofs correspond to programs without side-effects, and classical proofs correspond to programs that can use continuation effects (for the unfamiliar think of a more principled version of GOTO), so in a real sense intuitionistic proofs are more direct. The double-negation translation then corresponds to implementing continuations in a pure language using continuation-passing style.

This also says why classical logic can still be useful: if I'm going to use continuations all the time, it's nicer to program with a language that supports them than to explicitly program in CPS. Pick the right language/logic for the task at hand!

>Nothing in TFA seems suspicious to me.

I don't know about "suspicious", but what exactly is the point? Tesla, whom many consider overvalued, has a higher market cap than BMW. So what? BMW makes more money, has higher revenues, produces more cars and has been in business way longer. Their sales have been growing for years. They deliver almost as many cars in a month as Tesla has in its entire existence.

So what is the main point? Only in Silicon Valley do people care about "valuation".

No. Although that's mostly because the standard rustfmt is very generous about using vertical space.
It’s much closer than people think. R originally built on a Scheme runtime, and the DNA of Scheme is still lurking pretty close to the surface.

The meta programming facilities in R still look very lispy, and are used to good effect throughout the Tidyverse family of packages.

If I had one wish, it would be to see something like the Tidyverse exist in something still closer to Scheme... like Racket.

You can construct basically the entire undergrad algebra (vector space, group, ring, field, Galois, module theories) without LEM. LEM shines in algebraic geometry though (thanks to Hilbert).

Practically, intuitionistic logic has a lot of applications to computer science thanks to Curry-Howard.

Philosophically, soundness of LEM depends on where one originates the source of mathematics. If you're like Kant (or Brouwer) then LEM would make little sense since the source of mathematics, just like any other cognitive ability, is human cognition which exists independent of abstractions of the outer world. But, even without being a Platonist (like Godel) if mathematics has any sort of external source (e.g. abstracting the world or being a good abstraction of the world) then it's really hard to argue against LEM, although some epistemological arguments exist.

The thing that NYC's got going for it (which the article mentions) is the diversity of its economy. When you're there, you're really at the center of many, many industries, which, at least in theory, gives startups access to a whole range of potential partners, clients, and industries.
Tesla's high valuation represents the hopes for its future importance. So at this point you could say the market values Tesla's future as being more important than BMWs future. And if you are ecologically minded, thats interesting.

Exactly. The proof of the basic utility of the system is that it persists in the face of a decades-long firehose of "better" build systems being thrown around. Anyone remember Imake? Scons? (Automake is still around, but everyone hates it.) Oh sure, the fashion these days is something different and those tools are "bad", but by 2024 it'll be something different still.

Tool automation with dependency handling and parallel execution is just an inherently hard problem. No one solves it well. But make solves it cleanly. And that counts for something.

> A bit disorienting, actually. Though that could just be a function of it's current novelty for me. It has aspects of feeling like waking up, or remembering something crucial, or turning a corner and finally finding your keys.

Ok, that's definitely what I experience too. I have also described it as "disorienting" and "like waking up". I like your name, CartesianSelfAssertion. I might steal that.

The weird bit is that I experience this much less frequently. Like on the order of minutes or hours instead of ms. And typically after but not during meditation. During meditation I'm busy catching my mind wandering off.

> And completely independent of all that, I also feel like I'm spinning clockwise

Ok that bit's a little weird :-).

> but modulo doing weird stuff, my gut feeling is to say somewhere on the order of 100ms---40ms definitely doesn't clash with my experience.

One idea I had for measuring this (because I can't read about something without jumping to how to measure it) is to try to compare the spacing of the moments against the peaks of an auditory sine (or similar) wave:

Or is it the ability to deal with stress, regardless of the source? If I'm reading the study[1] correctly, offspring of stressed fathers were less stressed than offspring of non-stressed fathers:

> Alternatively, a reduced physiological stress response may reflect an adaptive response programmed by the paternal lineage as a protective measure, ensuring greater offspring fitness in what is expected to be a more stressful environment.

Interestingly, this doesn't seem to be associated with "serotonin in mediating changes in [...] stress", most commonly associated with SSRIs, which are used to treat psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, etc.

You're definitely not living in the city and it's certainly not for everyone.

For me, I didn't really take advantage of the city - I like occasionally went to a museum or went out to eat but I mostly just sat on the couch watching TV and surfing the internet. So I moved north and got myself forty acres of tree-covered Bath-Nassau soil with rocky outcroppings. Now my free time is filled with rennovating a 200 year old vernacular house, turning my land into a proper hobby farm, and going to various kitschy festivals and hiking trails with my family. My commute is, frankly, the most relaxing part of my week, where I can sit quietly for 90 minutes and read a book or take a nap or post WoT conspiracy theories on Reddit.

It may not be for everyone, but it's amazing to me that I can have this lifestyle while also commuting to a regular old desk job in the largest city in the country. (It's also amazing to me that I'm part of a multi-century tradition of both commuting to the city from rural upstate and of gentleman farmers coming upstate from the city.)
