what's the problem with deploying julia in production in inference? Some occasional piece of data that looks wrong in an unanticipated way causes a runtime type fault? People deploy high uptime websites with django - how do they do it? Well you use kubernetes (or, gasp, systemd) and have restart and load balancing logic. Even if you were typecheck-compiled, you can't guarantee some other developer logic or system error, or an errant bit flip from a cosmic ray, won't take your setup down. Static checker doesn't really matter. If you're at the point where you're ready to deploy, you're probably good for at least 95-99% of the data you'll ingest. The rest of the gap can be closed using rolling update.

Seems to me like this is the wrong approach. Essentially, they’re saying they they have no idea how much they can pay per bug.

A sensible approach would be to insure bug bounties, at least up to the amount that a black hat could profit from compromising the system.

> The 2x to 3x extra time that it will take to complete projects using TypeScript instead of JavaScript.

I think you are doing something wrong. I switched over to TypeScript for my personal projects 2 years ago and never experienced that. If anything there are a few rare cases where I run into problems up front due to type conflicts, but really each of these cases likely would have resulted in expected maintenance down the road. Problems down the road were pushed much forward. The increase of effort was tiny, and its possible to really say, but this could have been a cost savings over the costly concerns of debugging an embedded problem.

> I have over 1 year of experience with TypeScript in multiple projects and earlier in my career I used ActionScript 3.0 (also typed ECMAScript) for over 3 years so unlike the people who make the decision to move to TypeScript, I know what I'm saying.

1. Verilog requires semicolons almost everywhere. Can you point to a specific example?

2. Are we talking about Verilog or SystemVerilog? Verilog is not suitable for functional verification, people usually use SystemVerilog and methodologies like UVM for verification.

3. It's hard to tell what your college did exactly but it sounds like he over-engineer something himself.

You are talking about the advantages of Chisel for functional verification, not for hardware design, which was exactly the point I was trying to make.

Because if a seat is sold twice but only used one that's more profit than if every seat is only sold once. Most businesses maximise profits, not passenger experience (and those that work on passenger experience do so because they've decided that's their way to increase profits and they'll do so in a cost effective way).

Airlines say that this means all the seats on a flight can be a bit cheaper as the cost of operating the flight is shared amongst more people but I'm skeptical of that. Businesses like free money and only pass that on as lower prices due to competition when they really have to.

I did work on optical sorting machine: you have stream of fruits on very fast conveyor belt and then machine vision system scans the passing fruits, detects each object and reject (by firing stream of air) those that don't pass: those can be molded fruits, weird color or foreign material like rocks or leaves. 100 fps might be enough, but faster you go, faster your conveyor belt could be.

Did the idea for a smart phone emerge unaided into your consciousness, and then you set about asking every individual on earth whether there was a company that made such a device, and then lo and behold you discovered Apple? No. You didn't. You either saw an advertisement, or communicated with someone who did. That's how you found out about nearly every product you own.

Well, yeah, but that badly misses the point. Selling any product twice is more profitable than selling it only once, all else being equal. But in most industries, selling the same product twice is considered unacceptable. In fact, it would be considered fraud. The story that the airlines tell to make people think it should be acceptable in their industry is clearly bogus.

Yachts are really expensive. Like, stupid expensive in terms of total-cost-of-ownership. From the Harvard people I knew, I really think this is false. They might not want to answer your random questionaire because people get annoyed at being asked about their background all the time, but I'd be very surprised to see someone gatekeeping based on owning something so rare.

Unconventional Growth Zaps – Optimise Your Empire for Growth Marketing
1) It is not the duty of AD to favor an array type, but flux is an ML library. When you do something like Chain() or Dense() or LSTM() in flux, which is very obviously an ML tensor operation, it SHOULD pick reasonable, fixed (or variable!) tensor dimension. This is maybe not so easy, but it should be doable. Likewise, I wish Flux had "batch" and "minibatch" types that had specifiable dimensions so that if you try to hook up to data to layers of the wrong shape it gives an early warning.

2) StaticArrays would be a good starting point, but the point of it is to optimize Arrays by unrolling for loops and triggering SIMD (IIRC) and there are performance penalties when your arrays get really large, which they do, in ML. Something LIKE the staticarrays typesystem but without the overoptimization would be welcome.

3) (kind of tangential) I have beef with how GPU is handled as GPUArray in julia. It really should be handled as a worker node using the ClusterManagers-type semantic; you should be async sending tasks to the GPU as if it were a remote agent (which it kind of is, due to PCI bus bandwidth and latency bottlenecks) and waiting for the result to come back as a Future.

"Yet many world languages contain a separate set of words that defies this principle. Known as ideophones, they are considered to be especially vivid and evocative of sensual experiences. Crucially, you do not need to know the language to grasp a hint of their meaning. Studies show that participants lacking any prior knowledge of Japanese, for example, often guess the meanings of the above words better than chance alone would allow. For many people, nurunuru really does feel ‘slimy’; wakuwaku evokes excitement, and kurukuru conjures visions of circular rather than vertical motion. That should simply not be possible, if the sound-meaning relationship was indeed arbitrary."

There is a nontrivial list of applications that you would have a hard time convincing experts that they would be better off with conventional code.

So I probably agree with you more than you think, but I'm trying to tilt the scales towards dynamic typing a little to counteract any bias I may have from the fact that all my work with static typing has been with talented engineers and all my work with dynamic typing has been with garbage ones.

I agree with you about there being no concrete advantage to not being forced to specify the type of something; honestly, I don't even like type inference in eg C++ all that much, except as syntactic sugar over really ugly template types for whom the type just pollutes the code without adding any signal. But for example, I don't even really see the advantage of using auto in:

for (Widget widget : widgets) {

That being said, I do believe there is a concrete flexibility advantage, that I pray you never need to take advantage of but that sometimes can't be avoided in seed-stage startups. There were a couple of times where I monkey-patched the definition of a function (including an external library once! Oh the shame...) in order to get something working for a sales demo, and we just wouldn't have had the velocity to take shortcuts like that in a language like Java or C++, though I would personally make the fixing of the hack a P0 or at least a P1. These kind of "intentional bugs" allow you a bit more flexibility with using tech debt, and in the hands of skilled enough engineers, can provide you with boosts of velocity when you need it in the short term (at the cost of overall velocity).

Similarly, some pretty nifty stuff in libraries is possible due to the flexibility of these languages. I'm not a huge fan of frameworks in general, but my understanding of Django's ORM is that it compares quite favorably to ORMs in other languages. Given the amount of times I needed to do database surgery on prod (did I mention how much this company sucked?), it was a lifesaver to 1) have such an expressive interface to the DB and 2) have both an interpreter in the same language as our code and the ability to import and run production code. I'd imagine that pretty much every part of this would be more difficult in a less permissive language.

I also don't get why this is being downvoted... this is a legitimate question. And actually:

I do, and I think it's abuse that private companies have been stealing the army's IP to develop their own infrastructure and sell it for a profit.

While the army mass-producing good software engineers is a boon for the economy it has also spawned a bunch of companies that use army-related IP.

That's even _more_ for a reason for this not being an Israeli spy though. It doesn't make sense for the government to do this.

I have years of experience with typed ECMAScript (3 years of ActionScript 3, 2 years of Java and 1 year of TypeScript).
