I also think Excel is great; but not because it's Excel or heavens forbid, because it's a Microsoft product, but because it's a spreadsheet.

The ability to throw data in a grid and massage it with operations the average human can understand - that's invaluable.

Certainly, Excel is powerful and feature-filled. But 95% or more of what I do in Excel I can also do in Google Sheets or Libre Calc or whatever.

The article argues that "randomness" (by which it means essential unpredictability) is experimentally backed. This is an awkward constraint for a universe designer: isn't a totally deterministic universe much easier and simpler?

Free will has no room to survive in a clockwork universe. But free will remains a viable position, despite the philosophical contortions, but supported by experimental evidence like what's discussed here. And that seems like an argument in itself, right? It ain't come this far...

> The fail-safe code that Toyota had put in place wasn’t enough to stop it.

> “You have software watching the software,” Barr testified.

The failure of Toyota was a memory corruption due to a stack overflow, because an IRQ had been triggered at exactly the wrong time (i.e the thread being interrupted is already using almost all of its stack space).

Thus, the probability for the failure to occur was small ; which means rebooting the system, to run again the same erroneous code might actually make sense (and save lives).

I think the real problem with a fail-safe, in the case of Toyota, is when to trigger it. It's not as if we had a memory-corruption handler that gets called everytime something gets overwritten by mistake.

I'm lucky enough never to have been in hospital myself, but FWIW:

I was recently on the jury in a coroner's inquest. A patient had died suddenly in his sleep in hospital. The solicitor whose agenda was to make the hospital look bad aimed to suggest that nurses should have been entering his room every 15 minutes to check his breathing, but all medical staff witnesses argued that sleep is too important to disrupt by entering the room during the night, unless absolutely necessary. They used a torch to shine on the patients chest through the window to check for breathing, and specified that they tried not to shine on them directly (watching a shadow on the wall is preferable).

> I would class this more as 'duck-typed templates'.

Or parametrically polymorphic type variables!

> This is an orthogonal issue, to do with whether instantiations of parameterized types/functions are monomorphised or not.

I stand corrected, as monomorphization is optional for parametric polymorphism but mandatory for ad hoc polymorphism. It is still technically possible to deduplicate similar enough functions, either at the source level or at the binary level, but that is orthogonal to this issue :-)

> I would say the big issue with templates is that they are slow and produce hard-to decipher compile-time stack traces, because they are not checked at the instantiation site.

You are right for the status quo of C++ templates, but I'm not sure for general cases. It might be possible to keep error information down to the instantiation site for better error messages... or not.

Yes, he's rather explicit in saying Maybe is a poor tool.
I'll have to watch the talk a second time to be sure, but I'm not sure he proposes any solution at the level of type systems. Not using Maybe or using Union is not what he is advocating.
For him (and me too) types are the wrong thing to put data in because, among other things, it forces you back into PLOP. His point is to remove entirely the need to fill slots with nothing.
Obviously the talk is more about specs than types. While tactfully avoiding the debate around types, he's still starting the talk with types to help those that are only there to decomplect their thinking.

Indeed, I feel like people missed the bigger news here. And I was always surprised Steam never tried to take this on: Many Steam library apps are also available for Android, but Steam has never tried to support cross-platform access to it.

Another highlight of this: Do bear in mind there's a class action antitrust lawsuit being bandied about by the Supreme Court right now against Apple and the App Store. If that doesn't go Apple's way, Epic is potentially poised to be one of the first players in that as well.
You're right! That's one approach to exploiting this.

It's worth considering that multiple approaches, across multiple departments, can be used. A good environment might use Vault for authentication between services and require that code cannot go into production without a review and enforce it in code. Then you tightly control who has access to the administration of those restrictions and log all usage to somewhere else, such that even if someone does compromise the infrastructure to allow them to insert their back door it can be detected and the culprit identified.

Again, you're completely right. Code reviews can be a great way to spot malicious code! You're also right that the Vault usage pattern that parent pointed to definitely has vulnerabilities. It's perhaps worth considering that this approach could be used in a context where it might not be the only defense. Perhaps you could ask parent for a more detailed explanation of their org's information security practices?
It's the other way around: kids need to learn, among the bare minimum, critical reasoning skills and basic epistemology. OP's father and his coreligionist certainly lacked those fundamentals, which is what surprised the immigrant.

I am curious about what exactly do you think culture revolution had broken.

Looking at other ethnic Chinese dominant areas, Hong Kong/Taiwan, which are supposedly unaffected by cultural revolution, I don't think the mainlanders are any way 'less' Chinesey than they are. The young people I met from HK/TW, their lack of understanding/knowledge of ancient Chinese history/literature is really embarrassing, yet they are pretty proud of such.

Not to mention that before KMT takes over, Taiwan had been colonized by Japan for 50 years, and Hong Kong by British for 100 years. If they can retrain/recover their Chineseness shortly after WW2, and being hailed as epitome of Chinese culture, I can't see how mainland China can't sustain its own culture from a 10 year madness.

Only thing I felt is probably I am personally less superstitious, thanks to the on paper atheism from the CCP.

> If someone leaves a couch on the curb and you take it is that stealing?

In England: Probably, yes. You have appropriated something that belongs to someone else; you intend to permanently deprive the ower of it. The only other thing needed for theft is for the appropriation to be dishonest.

You know the couch doesn't belong to you, and there isn't a sign saying "Free couch", so there's a strong argument that this is dishonest unless there's a sign on it saying "free couch".

Interestingly that reflects Airbus vs Boeing cockpit philosophies.

In the early 1980s Airbus adopted Dark Cockpit where the default state of all annunciator lights is off. If one illuminates then it indicates something worthy of attention. The colour of illumination indicates functional state; blue is good, amber is malfunctional.
Off topic, but as a non-english native speaker the phrase "could care less" always bothers me as I read it literally to mean someone does indeed care, since they can care less. Is this one of those cases where the meaning changes through actual use like "literally" now meaning not necessarily "to be taken literally"?

I just asked! The head nurse on the floor knew that unless there was an emergency, we would like to rest between 9PM and 7AM. We would have preferred 8AM, but it was a teaching hospital and they needed to get rounds underway early in the morning.

Talk to the nurses. They control everything on the floor, the doctors are just passing through.

So, mix-and-match existing papers? As a referee, I often do check whether the authors have published similar content before. The only way to beat this simple vetting is if someone pushes the same paper to multiple venues, and they all get accepted at around the same time. This is pretty unlikely.

Incentives for reviewing are broken. Currently researchers have to see it as an intrinsically motivated activity for the good of the field, there are no quality checks per se.

Why the hell does everyone make a banking example when they want to talk about transactions? BANKS RUN ON EVENTUAL CONSISTENCY, PERIOD.

Another point worth mentioning is that, single transaction coordinator model is undervalued in community. Majority of systems have the following query pattern (sorted descending):

1. Single key read --> you don't need to contact coordinator

2. Single key write --> you don't need to contact coordinator. OCC with simple version number works here.

3. Multi-key asynchronous write (updating second, third keys using a pub/sub infrastructure) --> you don't need to contact coordinator in this case.

4. True multi-key transactions that should happen atomically --> need to contact coordinator

If a single coordinator can process 20-30K/s transactions of category 4, then total throughput of the system would be around 300K queries per second which is sufficient for many workloads.
The binary formats that immediately preceded the current OOXML were OLE compound files (aka "structured storage), which is basically a filesystem-in-a-file that's intended to be used for serialization purposes - to allow files to have arbitrary nesting of COM components.

Individual data structures are then binary-serialized into that compound file, but I don't think it's accurate to call it a "memory dump". People often get that impression after looking at the compound file and seeing garbage there, much like unused blocks in memory - but that's because it's a filesystem, and as such, has a concept of unused "sectors". This is also why a freshly saved binary Word file might still contain bits and pieces of old data and metadata.
tl;dr:

1. Has many sensors, will stop the circuit if the damage-level is critical.
2. Improved BMS and other circuits help for its "low maintenance" claim
3. More modular, so adjustable according to local laws.
4. Powerful motor, not used to its limit = better efficiency

Still in development. Will come weather-tested and is rock-solid.
> there are plenty of well-educated people who hold irrational beliefs.

I was quite surprised to find out when I was at MIT that a surprisingly high percentage of graduate students studying cosmology / astrophysics were fundamentalist christians.

Given my naive upbringing (I'd never previously met any devout people) I was surprised to meet any religious people at MIT at all; inexplicably I was somehow smart enough not to investigate as I am sure I would have come off as impolite and obnoxious in the process, which would be unfair and mean.

(I am sure I have plenty of firmly held irrational beliefs too but of course I can't identify most of them)

This is a problem that a startup I’m involved with (www.snap40.com) is tangentially aiming to solve. The prime goal isn’t really to help patients sleep better, but to help healthcare professionals monitor them better and be proactively alerted when things are deteriorating. It’s an iPhone sized (but lighter) device that’s worn on the upper arm and once you’re wearing it, you forget about it. Instead of reading vital signs the patient can sleep, and we’ve caught instances where patients were in trouble before the normal rounds would have. Also applicable for home use as patients can be sent home earlier or safely monitored. It is up for approval by the FDA so it is a regulated medical device, and in most cases it does better than the gold standard ICU machines. Better sleep, more safety, and a faster return to home are just some of the benefits, and I’m really optimistic they can make a huge difference for healthcare.
