We do know when some things are true, and when observing the world we can talk about truth under certain assumptions. As in “it’s True the sun didn’t explode yesterday, assuming we aren’t all living in a simulated reality run by aliens in a different solar system billions of years from now the exact day after the sun exploded, or similar possible scenarios”

And while everyone loves to run in circles around the argument “but how can you know with certainty” the fact is that I am as certain that this assumption holds as I am that it provides no value at all to continually question if reality is really real, you’d have to take that as an assumption to ever have any kind of value adding discussion.

The people who insist we can’t know if anything is definately true must agree that they can’t know if that assertion is definitely true, so they sort of kill their own argument axiomatically.

It certainly doesn't have to be the case. The MongoDB layer can be used via the MongoDB protocol. TiDB is an entire MySQL implementation that any MySQL client can connect to which is built on top of TiKV (equivalent to FDB). If the goal is lower overhead of data transfer, another approach is writing layers in C (or Rust exposed as C) and then generating bindings for different languages.

I don't think it's just that. As an app user I can say I'm tired of apps running in the background that don't need to be, and there are tons of them that do it. Maybe Android needs to be more refined in how it handles apps that run in the background but as a user who prizes control of my phone I also think developers need to think twice about what they leave running in the background and why.
Here's a couple specific examples I just saw within the last couple days.

`immer` is an immutable update library based on ES6 proxies. In addition to safely applying "mutative" code immutably, it also freezes the output to keep you from accidentally mutating it elsewhere.

An Immer maintainer just added some kind of a `DeepReadOnly` tag to its typings in a patch release, which broke things for a bunch of people:

https://github.com/mweststrate/immer/issues/289

This specifically broke our PR to convert `redux-starter-kit` to TS, with this lovely error message:

https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-starter-kit/pull/73#issueco...

I'm not saying every use of TS is that complex, but I do absolutely think that TS types can get ridiculously complex (and that people can get sucked into spending _way_ too much time trying to model dynamic JS behavior in static types).
That's the only real advantage of "chip"

I consider that an issue with the software quality, not with the update mechanism. The bug would still have been introduced even if it required a trip to the dealer to plug in a programming cable.
Thank you for relating this to caring about the product and it's continued support.

The hospital you're describing sounds like a great example for others. It's great if you make it public, you also need to show you're taking actions on how to prevent it from happening (like they invite the family to their meetings). I do think the suing nature in the U.S. plays a part in people hiding their mistakes in for example healthcare.

Your hospital story makes me think of the book Black Box Thinking by Matthew Syed which I red a few years ago. It's about how different the approach is in the airplane sector versus the healthcare sector.

Soundcloud was built as a SPA so you can keep your music playing as you navigate.

I wish MyFitnessPal was a SPA in places so I could click checkboxes and paginate the food catalogue at the same time when adding food to my diary.

Nearly everywhere else, IMO, no. SPAs are absolutely harder to build and people start with them by default because everyone wants to be Facebook, which your average CRUD site is not. You can pull in those fancy javascript features as you need them, and hell, even embed React in the one part of your site that truly needs it. Which is what React begs people to do on their website, but apparently people read that and say to themselves "That message is probably for the plebeians building a Todo list app or something. I'M building Todo++ Enhanced, so I'll probably need 40 layers of abstraction and about a gig of dependences to implement a form."

The Braindead Megaphone (2007) [pdf]
What you're saying is more or less exactly what the paper was getting at.

It's hard to say based on a short Internet comment, but it sounds like the spot where your disagreement comes from is that you're understanding the word "justified" in a slightly different way from how epistemologists were using it. For example, one of the responses to Gettier's paper was to suggest that maybe the definition of "justified" should be altered to include a provision that invalidating the justification would imply that the belief is false.

So, for example, under that modified definition, the visual evidence couldn't serve as a justification of the belief that there is a cow in the field, because it allows the possibility that it isn't a cow but there still is one in the field. On the other hand, it would work for justifying a belief like, "I can see a cow from here." (Yeah, there's another cow in the field, but it's not the one you think you see.) But, still, that wasn't quite the definition that the mid-century epistemologists who made up Gettier's audience were using.

(ETA: Also, the original paper didn't involve cattle at all. Wikipedia has what looks like a good summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettier_problem#Gettier's_two_...)
By that time all of the content I’ll ever watch will be on an SSD, managed and streamed by the successor of Plex.
In the example, the subject does not know that the evidence is faulty.

Elixir fixed some annoying erlang quirks, e.g.

* Switched all the strings to waaay more efficient binary string format (with true utf8) - in erlang you have charlist, which consumes more memory, slower and less-handy binaries (and need to remember to pass around right one)

* Made standard library consistent and logical. This also affects 3rd party libraries, they have reasons to follow conventions.

* Hyped pipeline operator ("|>") by mere existence basically enforced correct order of function params
I think we can expect that purely because of normal inflation.
$40 per year in 2048 would reflect a 4% annual increase. So if your price prediction is correct, it doesn't really say much about the streaming content market specifically.
assuming it's a remote exploit then you can't trust the update code that's on board, because that could be compromised and just pretending to run the update.

when a system is breached with methods that don't leave a signature a clean reinstall from scratch is the only option. once one to all your system are potentially breached by remote exploits it's recall time.

local exploit that require access to the car innards could potentially be patched over the air if the method allows the owner to know if the car was breached into. then it'd be update for safe car and recall for breached cars.

There is a big difference between Chrystler (or any other car manufacturer) and Tesla in terms if impact.

Tesla's are designed to receive software updates on a regular basis using a cellular connection, whereas with every other car brand you'll need to bring the car to a certified dealership to have a mechanic (!= computer engineer) install the new firmware.

So: a nasty bug in a 'regular' car means the manufacturer must consider a recall of all affected cars, where Tesla will simply push an update to all cars in the field. This also means that Tesla can run the update before the vuln is disclosed.

Musk said he regards Tesla as a software company, their software just so happens to have a car attached to it. I highly doubt other car manufacturers see it that way, they probably see the software development as an expense.

I wasn't. I was in Netflix's own official app. (I think they shell out to EDGE or Chromium underneath, but I don't know for sure.)
I've been wondering if the last Great Unbundling will be followed by another Great Rebundling. I'm no expert in any of this, but it seems unlikely that the new "channels" of Netflix et al. will prevent their programming and delivery methods from be bundled until it becomes disadvantageous to their growth (ie monthly subscriptions can't generate enough revenue).

It seems to me there is an explosion of content that will be able to be monetized far beyond just subscription lock-in. I wonder what the method of monetization will be after the gold-rush of building subscriber bases?

Netflix's original proposition and value was one of convenience (and price), but I wonder how long that will last. Will households juggle 4+ subscriptions of $15/mo? I'm not sure that is why cord-cutters originally cancelled their cable subscriptions.

My off-the-top-of-my-head list of current and coming soon subscription services (that also produce content) is: Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBO, YouTube, CBS, Disney/Fox, NBC, Apple. Technologically, it seems like there are some serious hurdles to "bundling" these together.

I wonder if the future "bundle" will actually be a service that manages subscriptions for you, with things like highlighting newly available shows since the last time you subscribed.
No, it doesn't. It relies on explicit rules (old school) or statistical inference (new school).

There's a difference between "breaking" unknown input - i.e. non-computable within the system as it stands - and "working" unknown input, which is within expected working parameters.

The latter is business as usual for computing systems.

The former should have a handler that tries to minimise the costs of making a mistake - either by ignoring the input, or failing safe, or with some other controlled response.

It may not do this perfectly, but not attempting to do at all it is a serious design failure.

I find that bundling is actually taking place. With every major cell phone provider you can get a plan that bundles in netflix/prime/hulu/directv now respectively. Also comcast now offers it's own xfinity wireless plan. And since everyone has a cell phone it starts to make sense to bundle.

The article does not assert that there is ANY correlation between mental health and potatoes.

The closest they come was "about as...which is to say, hardly at all".

.001 is about as much as 0, or about as much as -.001.

It was a flippant remark, and probably better interpreted as "screen time may be good or bad for your mental health, depending on many other factors, like potatoes may be good or bad for your [mental?] health, depending on many other factors."

Using the Singular ‘They’: Why It Is Important
I agree with your main points, but I think it's worth pointing out that even things like 2 + 2 = 4 and X + Y cows in fields A and B, all rest on certain definitions and sets of deductions, many of which go back down to basic axioms which have to be assumed (e.g. for arithmetic, see Peano axioms as an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peano_axioms).

- We have a definition of what a cow is, and we know that cows are discrete/physical objects, and have relatively fixed locations (i.e. that they are not like an electron cloud with a probabilistic location).

- We assume that fields A and B in your hypothetical have clear, non-overlapping boundaries.

- We assume that we are working in a fairly normal universe with a fairly standard model of physics, and that due to the way time works in this universe, a cow cannot simultaneously be located in both fields A and B.

- ...

- (this could get really pedantic and go on forever)

The point is, even the things "we can know with certainty", are only as certain as the framework of observations/deductions/axioms/etc. that they rest upon. Almost nothing is certain on its own, without any further layers of reasoning behind it.
The 4 year gap in the middle is unfortunate though, there could've been much more momentum by now had Apple kept it open all this time.
Thats great, I'll check that out. I took a few graduate courses in systems biology and related machine learning a long time ago, but I lost interest because it was so `human` biology focused, and that area of biology very-much does not appeal to me. There are some datasets prepared in such away as to address some of the issues in cellular intelligence, but very few out side of the realm of human biology.

I think the most interesting components to me are histology and transtrictomics as they relate to cellular behavior. The fact that cells have to rely on membranes and voltage potentials, but through compartmentalization are able to create a dynamic computational environment, is the really mind-blowing bit.

Its always funny to me when people want to reduce the behavior of non-human lifeforms to something akin to a program written on a tape drive (see below), when we know that DNA exists in a dynamical 3-dimensional form when in the somatic phase.
This is what I don't get. Prime was pretty good a few years ago and then they really messed it up with the update. It has hints of dark patterns where it seems like they intentionally try to hide prime videos in hopes you'll pay for the rental. Even the playback options are bad if you need to ff or rewind. It reminds me of VHS days of guessing how far you need to go only to get it wrong.
I think that the effect of potatoes on mental health is sadly underrated.
