I'd say it's perfectly possible for a Turing machine + a source of randomness to generate a random real number in [0, 1). We just lazily generate more and more digits to the required precision. It's no different from, say, pi being computable.

We can even prove that there's zero probability that a rational number is generated: the decimal representation of a rational always has a repeating group of digits, but since each digit is generated randomly with 100% probability there will be no periodic pattern.

I've written a lot of Go, I started four years ago when my workplace at the time wanted to ditch writing web services in Ruby. We were very deep into containers, so the obvious choice to the team lead was to do what the Docker folks were doing.

My take is that Go is a great language when you're working with incompetent people. It's so limiting in the abstractions you can build with it, that it is very difficult to write code that is not immediately obvious in its purpose. Go is easy to teach, easy to review, and it's so syntactically deficient and the tooling is good enough that it's hard to bikeshed. This ultimately improves the experience of writing code at work, and its static type system makes it easier to reason about large code bases for the folks who are used to using Ruby and Python at scale.

But Go is also awful in so many ways, its such an obvious step backwards in its design and the community is so dogmatic about Go and the Go authors.

On large code bases you almost invariably end up working around the deficiencies with the empty interface, code gen tools that add non standard syntax, and lots, and lots of copying code and code patterns over and over again. Any common pattern you see emerge, that you'd like to create a generic structure for, is probably impossible to encode without type variables. Go also notoriously pushes many errors that would have been caught at compile team to runtime because of its weak type system. With Sum types, it's difficult to make improper states illegal, and default values lead to subtle bugs because they essentially behave as predictable garbage.

Go honestly keeps me from having faith in software engineering as a craft. It's the acceptable of the status quo, or worse, moving backwards in order to fit the needs of the lowest common denominator.

Vitamin C, E, and many other supplements have similarly questionable benefits with possible harsh side effects.

I wouldn’t reach for almost any supplement unless a doctor + blood tests + my own research suggested I should. And even then I believe diet and lifestyle modifications could be attempted beforehand.

I mean, everyone has a story about how they were disadvantaged by a particular system.

I think it is safe to assume Zig fits into low level applications, staying closer to hardware, so competition should be with Go instead. SaaS could be out of the circle and often web based having less memory utilization.
I remember reading an article a few months ago (I guess here) about a precursor to GPS based navigation for cars that used inertial guidance. You needed to set the location when you started driving, but after that it just used inertial guidance to figure out your position.

I really wish smartphone navigation apps would use this, as I've ended up taking the wrong directions in tunnels or at the exits of tunnels (as it takes a few seconds to get a GPS fix).

Do you think this is intentional? Similar to how java is incredibly restrictive, and thus great for corporate programming environments?

> It's too easy to call functions without being aware of the set of possible errors.

But that's entirely fine! Programmers are far too obsessed with exactly which functions trigger which errors when it absolutely doesn't matter. All you need to know is what errors you can handle and where in the code you can handle them.

If there is a network exception and can recover and retry it at the start of the operation, it literally doesn't matter which of the thousands of functions up the call stack could have possibly triggered it. The only thing you need to know is the top-level network exception and where your network processing code starts. And if you can't handle a network error, it literally doesn't matter if one was triggered. The best you can do is abort and record a really good stack trace for that type of error.

I used both a fair amount. I liked both languages quite a bit, but I always found the tooling around Clojurescript difficult to use. ReasonML was a much better experience for me. After using both I think I personally prefer the experience of using a typed language over a dynamic language. This was from the perspective of making UIs with React.

It's weird to me that their version of cashless doesn't work for foreigners. Every vendor in South Africa takes Mastercard or Visa, or a mobile payment system backed by a credit card. It's not strongly linked to a local bank account. Not a cashless society, but the transition would be pretty smooth for me.

When I travel to Europe, UK, Australia I have the same experience (maybe not quite the same ease of mobile payment).

The only reason I'm not cashless here is cash tipping, 99% to homeless people or very poor sales people on the side of the road. For weeks now I've been getting frustrated with myself for not having any cash in my wallet and having to disappoint people, although at the same time grateful for the ease of not dealing with cash.
Just to highlight one of the points in the linked page: There was a recent study that correlated high levels of serum DHA with aggressive prostate cancer. It is not known whether the elevation in DHA from the subjects was due to fish oil supplementation or some other biochemical process.

Everything has side effects.
Patrick, don't you think you should reflect on what you are doing before taking sentient neurons and forcing them to live their entire lives confined inside a machine, with no possibility of escape? How would you enjoy being born into such captivity?

What would you do if you were experiencing an endless state of pain but lacked the language ability to communicate your pain to your owner?

I have written to the Vatican already suggesting that they push to make neural slavery illegal, as it violates the principle of the dignity of sentient life. I hope you will please reflect on what you are doing and stop doing it voluntarily instead of waiting for the laws to change and make what you are doing illegal. Whether legal or not, any form of slavery is immoral.
This sentiment I don’t understand. What’s the problem with aggregating most of the population in a few urban centers? It makes sense to me from an economic point of view where the productivity of clusters benefits greatly from density. It also makes sense from an environmental perspective because it reduces sprawl and using elevators instead of cars should significantly lower carbon emissions. More importantly, unlike other environmentally friendly policies, like carbon taxes or not eating beef, people actually want to move to the more successful cities. Although every individual is familiar with the downsides of cities the economies seem to be large enough to overcome them.

Yes, we can and should return most land outside of dense urban centers to nature. It’s rarely if ever reasonable to have significant development beyond the walkable radius of a neighborhood center or transit stop.
This is the most accurate description of how I felt dropping out of social media, although to a much less strict degree. I don't spend almost any time looking at other people's lives but I still wonder. That's fine, I let the mystery linger and I think it's been an overall positive. Close friends and regular occuring events, I still attend. The ones that have to schedule, I need someone to contact me directly or vice versa so I lose out on some events. On balance I think I gained more than I lost.

I was able to help out some family members who coincidentally where in same store during a EFT outage. I keep about $200 cash on me just in case.

"Fine and Manson stressed that vitamin D and the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil are important nutrients, but the best way to get them is as part of a well-balanced diet. That includes eating fatty fish like sardines, tuna and salmon, and vitamin-D fortified cereals, milk, and orange juice."

Ah, okay. So instead of taking supplemental Vitamin D, you should get it from natural sources, such as..... foods that have been artificially fortified with supplemental Vitamin D.

"If they were that great they wouldn't need Google to send a steady stream of new users their way."

Right. Like Amazon not needing roads. Or Walgreens needing a working Pharmacological system.

"When I search "Chinese Restaurant XY" and Google ranks results that would hide the information I seek behind annoying interstitials lowly - then I can't blame them. They're doing something that is in my best interest as their user."

Ugh. Yes. That is called a monopoly.

So this is the behavior as GOOGLE:

1) Remove all traffic to site

2) Re-create same site on Google

3) Point all traffic that was in 1) to google.

4) The site will try to move traffic to mobile -- but users will just get upset at the site. Because the interstitial is hard to tap on.

Is this really all they need todo to capture users? Sad.
Yes, you can do the math. But "practical" intuition gives you a good sense of possible orders of magnitude, though, sometimes fails.

A compass needle is easily moveable by hand. Even Lenz effect forces (when only driven by magnets) are weaker than the attraction forces of the same magnet (depending on the speed, of course) though going east->west the flux doesn't change much.

So my conclusion is that, even though it might have had a small effect on it, absolutely not enough to make it change velocity significantly.

Sorry the weed bit was unrelated. More of an example of the weird world of a music venue. They basically didn't care if it was for personal use, but they didn't want people that were clearly going to deal. It wasnt in the employee handbook, just kind of an unspoken rule.

As for the second part, off duty cops would moonlight as security guards. And the college girls could blend in. With the large crowds it was a way keep a low profile for making cash pickups from the dozen different beer/food stations. It's pretty smart. You would never think twice.

I did a little bit of digging here.

3 studies:

2nd study about fish oil with a low dose, 1 gram https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01169259

3rd study about a PROPRIETARY PRESCRIPTION variation of fish oil with a HIGH DOSE https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/record/NCT01492361

Results:

---------------------

1st study - no effect.

2nd study - no effect.

3rd study - "REMARKABLE degree of risk reduction".

The researchers are different but the HOSPITAL that conducted them is the same.

The HOSPITAL posted about BOTH studies at the same time (today):

IMHO, something smells a little bit ... FISHY in here LOL.

Amarin is a one-product medical "startup" trying to show that their fish oil variation works. Oh, they are also publicly traded. Their stock went up after this announcement. It has also 10x-ed this year.
They are also trying to convince the FDA that it "works".

My opinion? Total fraudsters.
If you read the editorial, the reason is that those were secondary endpoints (not what the trial set out to measure). The literature is filled with exciting secondary endpoint "discoveries" that turn out to be nonsignificant when they become primary endpoints in a study. Also, the data suggest that these secondary endpoints aren't to be trusted because findings don't match other studies.

Null isn't that bad -- or rather, the concept of a missing value. Certain languages handle null better than others, but even then, it seems like the more costly mistake has been the accumulation of made-up data to satisfy non-null requirements.[0] More costly for non-programmers who have to deal with the programmers' lazy insistence that not knowing a value for some data in their system is forbidden, anyway.

In any case I think the modern fashion of trying to eliminate null from PLs won't matter much in the effort to replace C, whereas something like a mandatory GC is an instant no-go (though Java at least was very successful at sparing the world a lot of C++). OTOH a language that makes more kinds of formal verification possible (beyond just type theory proofs) might one day replace C and have null-analysis as a subfeature too.

I'm still wrapping my head around the commons clause but I think I really like it. The FSF licenses are designed to create a parallel open "copyleft" ecosystem. However, they fall short of identifying capitalism as the system that creates value in "copyright" and creates scarcity where none exists in the name of profit. The commons clause has more revolutionary content in that it prohibits participation in capitalism.

I'm trying to decide if there should be additional limitations or exemptions for institutions that build a better more democratic and humane society. For example, perhaps worker coops can use the software, but heirarchical institutions cannot. Perhaps science and medicine can use it, but stores cannot.

I recognize the point of the commons clause is a kind of rebellion within capitalism against exploitation of individuals by business. However, like the GPL, perhaps it's time to go further than copyleft and advance a real left agenda by supporting left institutions.

A local, sandwich shop charges $6.66 for a specific sub after tax if you don't get the full meal. Owner or corporate office probably never thought about it.
