I started The Three-Body Problem yesterday. I don’t read much science fiction but I’ve seen this particular book mentioned a lot so I thought I’d give it a try.
Several languages seem to share this curse. You do see companies advertise it on language conferences or websites: Jane Street for OCaml, Remedy Entertainment for D-lang, Naughty Dog and ITA for Common Lisp. But you are often left wondering if it is the tip if the iceberg, or an accurate reflection of industry use. In the case of CL, you see multiple commercial implementations still being supported, indicating much more use than one would suspect from grepping github projects.

A pattern I seem to observe is that if the program/framework/platform grows large and successful enough, the company gets acquired for its tech and everything gets rewritten in some more 'industry standard' language.

edit: As pointed out, Jane Street advertises its OCaml use, not Haskell. Oops!
Please don't post rage rants to HN, regardless of how annoying a popup was.

Concurrency Basics
Most examples I tried didn't work very well, but when it did work it was truly neat. The performance makes sense from a quick glance into the paper. The model represents programs as paths in the AST, which is not sufficient to reconstruct the semantics, but is a good "fingerprint" of a program for fuzzy retrieval tasks. That's the domain which the authors wanted to target.

I wonder if there is really so much low hanging fruit still lying around, or if everybody who tried injecting some more domain knowledge into tools like this had quietly failed.

For example, the obvious way of building a distributed representation of, e.g., the simply-typed lambda-calculus (STLC) is by building a model. There are four local constraints that the model has to satisfy and the payoff is a representation that is invariant under program equivalence.

There are some complexity theoretic reasons why this cannot really work all the time (conversion in STLC is nonelementary), but even something that works in simple cases would be more robust than a statistical fingerprint that gets confused by the names of local variables...
I disagree. If the monitor crashes, then its failure state is the same as "everything ok" state.

Oath is desperate to put more ads on Tumblr, because they massively overpaid for it ($1 billion) and have been throwing money at it ever since (100s of millions). I guess because of the way the content is displayed they can't just segregate nsfw stuff into a demonetized stream, but if they think they can turn Tumblr into a mainstream site that shows family-centric ads, they clearly don't understand what they bought.
I do like the v-tail look. Not sure on the pros and cons of the approach, but it's my favorite tail style of aircraft (if one keeps track of such things)
Not when writing GUI like code, to the point that the Rust team acknowledges that additional work needs to be done after NLL lands on stable.

So while Rust is much more productive than ATS or Cyclone, there is still room of improvement for that experience.
"Some usecases" is a pretty small set of usecases.
I haven’t read that one but another science fiction book I read a couple of years ago after seeing it mentioned on HN a few times is Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. If you feel like reading another science fiction book in the future I recommend that you read Cryptonomicon. It was a good book that had a lot to offer.
Not that you will do it but,

Since you mostly feel "lucky", find the devs or other people who worked their asses off to make this happen and who did not get anything.... and share!

When I bought my smart TV I've decided to not connect it to my WLAN and didn't plug in the Ethernet.
So it isn't able to send information or install anything. Everything I watch on it is through my home theater PC. If I ever wanted to update it I would connect it with Ethernet and then remove the ethernet cable after the update.
Spend time with your kids. You'll never get another chance.
The streets are packed with cars, sure, but the buildings are packed with people. That car owners park in my street doesn't imply that a majority of people who live nearby either need or have cars.
The birth of our first child was a very good lesson in assertiveness for me. I learned that as the spouse, you're basically the only one with a full overview of the whole process. In the hospital, shifts change, they're taking care of multiple births simultaneously, and I'm the only one who knows how my wife feels.

That gives you a powerful mandate to do whatever is necessary to take care of your partner. So absolutely to tell them to please go somewhere else because people are trying to sleep here.

Some things I had to do:

* My wife's (artificially induced) contractions were coming so fast that she had no time to recover. I noticed she was crying, which she absolutely never does. I warned the nurses, and they lowered her oxytocin (or whatever it was) and gave her some morphine.

* Later, after enthusiastically encouraging her to push and saying that the baby was coming, for two hours, I asked if the baby was actually coming. They didn't know. "Could you check?" Turns out the baby was stuck and had to be pulled out. I really wonder when they would have noticed this if I hadn't asked.

And this was at a Dutch hospital that's known for their good childbirth and maternity care. I was quite surprised about our experience (though it was a very complicated pregnancy).

The birth of our second child was a breeze. I was all ready to do my job again, but the baby was already born.

Consider the possibility that whether the future is predetermined or not has nothing to do with free will.

The persistence of the notion of free will seems to be an attempt to reconcile a feeling of what seems to be a very real, conscious and subjective "me in here" vs, what seems to be an objective, deterministic "world out there". This division is necessary for science to exist.

But what if there is a deeper truth than just being stuck with the question of whether "I" can control the outcome of events or "I" am powerless to do anything about them. Consider the possibility of access to knowledge before there's an intellectual division into a "me" and "not me", a knowing where the entire notion of whether there's free will or not becomes completely irrelevant. This seems to be the common theme running through various teachings of mysticism, from Zen to Sufism.

I don't think science should try and make use of mysticism, as science starts where mysticism ends (and vice versa), but any attempt by science to wrestle with the question of free will appears to me as pointless as an attempt of a Zen master to wrestle with solving problems in quantum mechanics. It's simply not in their domain.
Maybe I'm biased because I'm a fan. But there is a large difference between forced positivity and "misogynistic tendencies, playing with racial slurs". I'm not saying he's not partly performing, but he's not the misogynistic/racist character you were suggesting.
There's nothing to freak out about, you hit the jackpot. First of all I would say head to bogleheads and educate yourself a bit on investing and personal finance.

This is not financial advice, but if it was me I'd personally just live off the interest and spend the rest of my days doing what I enjoy.
Use the $$ as a sustain buffer to allow you live your comfortable life till the end of your days.

1. Do not sit there with your hands idle.

2. Start a business. Go talk with your friends, and friends of friends. Go talk to business owners who are friends of your friends and their friends. Find a business which needs something improved. Investigate how many more businesses have this problem. Figure out whether they will buy your future solution (do sales), and figure out how to help most of them in the least time.

There now you have a product idea going. Using your $$ to pay for your living, get to work.
You have a once in a lifetime opportunity to be there for everyone you care for no matter what. Seize it with both hands. Don't tell people, just be your best self.
How can you tell whether something was flagged or simply fell in rank due to relative lack of upvotes?
More and more journals are using plagiarism detection software to test for that. My wife recently got caught 'plagiarizing' herself after she copied a paragraph of background material from a previous paper. The journal refused to send her paper out for review until she rewrote the offending section.
People die or suffer serious harm in hospitals all the time. This often happens during sleep, and in many cases it could have been prevented if the patient had been checked on more frequently.

It is much easier to confirm that the patient is ok if they are awake. When the nurse softly asks "do you feel ok?" when drawing blood in the night, it is not just meant as soothing, but just as much to check if further treatment is required.

It's a bit like the soldier checking if there is a bullet in the chamber when picking up a gun. Even if you experience a gun that goes off by acciden only once, it becomes really easy to understand the thousands of times the soldier will do this when he knows there is no bullet there.
Thanks, can I ask how long the whole process took? It's also my understanding that you actually have a certain amount of money in a Dutch banking account as well correct?
A commenter asks why reviewers don't use plagiarism-detection software.

Many journals do these days, and won't send a paper for review unless it passes
I think you need to go with one you are comfortable with.

That said - there will undoubtedly be bias depending on the company. For example I had a phone screen for a company that used Ruby and Go and I suggested C# and javascript because I don't know any Ruby or Go. I didn't get any further and this may have been a contributing factor.
I love GC enabled system languages since I used Oberon, and beyond trying to fit everything into a 64KB segment, bounds checking was never an issue for the type of code that I write.

So D, Nim, C# (AOT compiled), Java (Embedded/Android Things/MicroEJ), Swift, Go are pretty much on the table as well.
Are you familiar with Kotlin and Anko?
I’m nitpicking a bit, but Jane Street focuses on OCaml.
The author makes it pretty clear, hospital staffs should wake up patients if absolutely necessary.

"If a patient is at low risk and can go six or eight hours without a vitals check, for example, perhaps don’t do that check once every four hours."
..

"..I made a sort of handshake deal with my nurses to leave me alone between 11 and 7. This mostly worked (and was reasonable in my case since I was only there waiting for the first round of chemo to start). I also refused to allow the night nurse to draw blood at 4 am, and that was that. She never came back, and that was fine: after all, there are lots of cases where they really don’t need your counts on a daily basis. And they certainly don’t need them at 4 am. That’s merely for the convenience of doctors, who want the results back by 8 am."

> police who might ask for bribes because they admitted an accident victim

I get that police look for any excuse to pick up bribes, but what's the reason for hassle over accident victims?
This. At 43 you're about half way done if you aren't unlucky. Spend time with the family. They're all that will matter to you later in life.
I think either we do not have free will or we have some special brain that shapes probabilities that literally make the reality as we see.

And I always prefer to believe we are not special animals.

Still, as opposite as deterministic universe, we may do not have free will but the future is not determined. The future may be random at some scale, with most obvious sequence of events happening and yet not prohibiting different events to happen.
There is no "should" here! It's your money now, do with it whatever you want :)

That's why you've got a partner there with you. The partner's job is to keep an eye on whatever the young mother needs and make it happen.

Journal article:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-07214-w

Interesting article, but as usual the popular scientific article oversells the research. I read through the research article briefly and already noticed.

- The assay relies on methylation, which is cancer-type specific. The authors have tested samples from colorectal cancer and breast cancer, which are relatively similar on a molecular level.

- No comparison of the accuracy of the test is made to other techniques to detect cancer from circulating DNA, like ddPCR and cancer-SEEK.

- No mention is made of the stage of cancer for the samples they tested. It is easier to detect late-stage cancer, but patients with late-stage cancer may already have symptoms. Moreover, late stage cancers can also be found through imaging.

- Related to the previous point: the method could not detect tumor DNA after it was diluted to 1%. This may hamper the applicability to early detection of cancer in blood samples.
Chinese history isn't longer than western history. But, I would say that Chinese commentators do have a greater sense of their own history than Western commentators. I have two examples to illustrate my point.

1) Confucius, if he existed at all, could have been a contemporary with Herodotus. How many modern statues of Herodotus can you think of? My guess is not many, but statues of Confucius in China abound. The Chinese government draws a certain amount of legitimacy in tying itself to Chinese history. How many Western governments are trying to draw legitimacy from ancient Rome or Greece?

2) Also consider that every Chinese people is at least familiar with a few lines in ancient Chinese books like Art of War, Analects, Dao De Jing and Han/Tang/Song poetry in the written language. Can you think of a comparable piece of Latin or Greek writing that the average Westerner knows by heart? How many people can recite Virgil and Homer? Bonus if they can do it in the original Latin or Greek.

There is a fact in wildfires that is often ignored. Often, (very often) this is not a case of bad luck or neglected nature, is just a problem of sabotage. A crime. Twenty five starting points in the same area the same night. People keep blaming nature instead.

You can't stop criminals just removing combustible and cleaning. They can and will provide their own combustible. A few gallons of gasoline is all that they need.

We would need something like the ink companies do since years. A way to put a fingerprint in the gasoline so, after a wildfire (or a home fire) some harmless chemical compound could remain in X concentration and point to the fuel station selling the combustible. Maybe a mix of several aditives in different concentrations and different times could provide enough variability to make a short code with station and month. Then you have the arsonists and their vehicles filmed in camera. Still a lot of people to check but, as many arsonists are recurrent, you can look for patterns. Could be silently implemented only for conflictive areas by the government and fine tune it to week or even day.
If D didn't have compelling advantages, they wouldn't have invested such effort.

Also, when one is really after every erg of performance, one often finds a need to work under the hood to improve it for one's special use cases.

For example, many, many, MANY C and C++ users replace malloc/free, and/or write their own custom allocator.

Staying unemployed (if you're planning about leaving) is usually hard on most people mind. Try asking for a part time job (or look for a part time job) - that will leave you with enough time to think and find out new hobbies or what you'd like to do in the future.

Spend time with your wife and families, save in different places/accounts/things so you don't risk too much. Very often you don't have hobbies because you feel you don't have time - now you have that.

Just, imho, don't start overspending in stupid things, like luxury cars or boats or huge houses, or your expenses can go quickly out of control.

If you want a hobby, i suggest things that are 'physical' and group/community activities, maybe some sport or building things. See mr. Money mustache for inspiration.
A lot of things are possible. I can live for months on potato and lard alone, and people buying apartments in new high rises of central Oslo could eschew their Teslas and bike instead. That's just not happening however, and build code deals with realities on the ground.

There is little reason not to enforce parking norms, and "I personally would never own a car" is a poor justification. Maybe the guy you'd sublet it to would, or you decide to start a family and the only kindergarten spot you get is 12km away, or you sell your apartment and move elsewhere but the new owner needs a car.

If you genuinely need no parking spot, there's typically no shortage of nice apartments in the older buildings of nearly every European city out there. Costs less, too.
Put it all in Bitcoin.
A great toolkit like Qt, including Qt Creator and UI designers, doesn't get written during late nights and weekends.

They are pretty cheap considering the typical prices on their target markets, embedded tooling, medical devices, enterprise solutions.

Naturally they decided to pivot to those markets, as Trolltech has hardly seen any significant monetary profit from FOSS.

So it is only fair that those that don't want to pay, also ship code free to the others.
Listening to different political viewpoints can be good. I make sure to do so myself on many occasions.

However, the criticisms regarding this film raised in other comments and linked articles appear to be valid. It concerns me that you have repeatedly dismissed these objections as "slander", even before watching the film according to your own words.

You don't have to agree with someone's politics to work together on common ground, of course. And a film with a message may be worth watching even or especially if it challenges your views. But the film's agenda cannot be concealed.

The Verge article, for example, made no bones about its political views but also raised factual concerns about the film. It is also a fact, as others have pointed out, that the writer and director of this film, M.A. Taylor, also worked on political films such as Hype: The Obama Effect (which detailed "various questions about Barack Obama's past") and co-directed Clinton Cash along with former Brietbart chairman Steve Bannon: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3379741/

Hey mate its understandable you are freaking out a little. I would definitely suggest starting to do some education on basic finance and investment. Please tho dear god can you not do TWO things...just two things.

One...don't donate your money...donate some for sure, but most organizations generally fail by eating up the lions share of donations through administration costs and other costs of business. So your money gets nowhere...now if you want to make a difference this leads to point two.

Two. PLEASE dear god don't invest all of your money in stagnant safe investments, invest some small portion of your 8 million into starting a business. I don't mean this in order to grow your own wealth...but to help grow that of your community. I don't know where you live...but in Australia...the hoarding of wealth through property and the stock market is basically killing small towns/communities left right and center. Investing money in that doesn't really grow the economies of small towns/communities. Start a business, nothing huge, nothing too fancy, but invest in training you community/small towns! Seriously it will provide a bigger difference to those whom you employ than if you were to give to a charity supposedly servicing them!
