Something like this is currently being attempted with MagneticReadHead.jl[1] which also just saw its first beta release. It's a pretty cool tool, using Cassette to essentially do an extra compiler pass, descending into code from other modules and inject the appropriate debugging tools.

I do think it's pretty ugly, but that ain't a valid reason to get rid of it IMO. If your property values (the only thing these stuck up NIMBY types care about) go down because God forbid there's an ugly house nearby, then said value was probably inflated to begin with.
Things are so misaligned Haight-Ashbury had then a worse case of runaways/vagrants/addicts/panhandlers. There were laws already on the books to deal with this (loitering, drug use in the open, vagrancy, etc.,) but thd police still could not do much as prosecutors were loath to apply existing laws. They were so fed up progressive supe Ross Murakami introduced new laws specifically aimed at the loiterers and even with that it was hard. But after years I think the sitch in the Height is better than it used to be.

It’s infuriating though that laws exist but aren’t used so additional laws have to be introduced (sit-lie laws).

Why would you need more people than that? I wouldn't be surprised if the number of people in my University who understand this would fit in a single barracks too, but it doesn't in any way detract from the work they're doing.
Why not? Being straight takes on the form of having a sexual desire to the opportunity sex. Being gay takes on the form of have sexual desires for the same sex. Why should pedophilia, or zoophilia, or any other the other niche sexual attractions be treated differently?

> without a fair share of fuckups along the way

My problem with Tesla is the same I have with Uber and AirBNB: it's not that they royally fuck up now and then, it's not even that they fuck up regularly.

It's that their fuckups all betray their moral turpitude.

They do not "fuck up" as in "security breach" or "bad bugs".

They "fuck up" as in "lie, steal, cheat" and yes, arguably even "kill".

I don't care which great achievements these companies may bring us. Or have already brought us. They need to die. Other companies can pick up those achievements and iterate on them.
I would say in my applied math degree we didn't really solve most problems (maybe an easy problem on a test) but we did work more directly with actual numbers in our proofs, and we usually proved theorems focused on solving computational problems. But mostly, no, we were not solving problems computaitonally

Comment he leaves in the post:

But at the time I left Microsoft, I was told that .NET management no longer considered my blog a valuable asset, and that I should stop working on it on company time, and that they had “community PMs” who would be owning the relationship with the programming community.

Around that time I was also told, funnily enough, that I should never mention Windows on my blog, because the Windows marketing team wanted to own all communications with developers about writing software for Windows.

I really enjoyed my time at Microsoft; the people I left behind were amazing, and I miss working with them. And none of the above is high on the list of reasons why I left Microsoft. But middle management was weird, man, weird.

> In my universe we have been successfully addressing those problems for over 60 years.

In my universe people have been pushing "visual programming environments" for something close to 60 years, and they're still awful and haven't caught on. Over the last 10-20 years programs have taken a step away from "wizard" style interactions like you describe, as it turns out that a simple, automatable config format is more useful than a step-by-step interaction. API design has started to realise the importance of understandability over magic, e.g. the new generation of 3D graphics APIs are much less "do what I mean" than the previous generation.
But do we really want to expand the app banlist to include "contains harmful advice"? That's a very broad, vague, and politically charged category. Seriously, how far do people want Apple & Google to go in protecting their mental bubble?

It is hard to see how your logic would not also apply to people who wish to rid themselves of homosexual attractions, or even heterosexual ones for that matter.

But the data is pretty clear that "conversion therapy" doesn't work and causes harm. Applying it to pedophiles won't change that.
Yup, Gallium used DWARF debug info like gdb/lldb and could debug optimized, compiled Julia code. It's named Gallium because the DWARF standard constant for the Julia language is 31 and gallium is the 31st element in the periodic table :) Unfortunately, compilers generate horrible debug info and it was very hard to get even basic stuff like knowing the values of all in-scope local variables to work reliably and making breakpointing work was very much a work in progress.

Debugger.jl on the other hand is slow, being interpreter-based, but very reliable. The down side is that it's really slow, so if you need to debug performance intensive code, you might be in trouble. In the future, the plan is to steal tech from Gallium [1] and MagneticReadHead [2] and use them to create a hybrid interpreted/compiled debugger that is as reliable as Debugger.jl is now but which can run code fast enough to debug even compute-intensive workloads effectively.

Two very bad analogies in the first paragraph.

2/ The story of the frog in slowly boiling water is apocryphal and false; if you put a frog in a jar and heat it, however slowly, the frog WILL JUMP OUT
Yeah, I always worry about Mechanical Turk turning into The Matrix where human brains are just server farms.
As I see more of these machine learning applications, where a neural network is trained on a dataset, then applied to a similar dataset, I wonder how well it would help if the network was trained on part of the new dataset as well, as some kind of "specialization".

One could take a generic "AI Gigapixel" net, and retrain it on some of the newer Star Trek content, for which an upscaled/remastered "ground truth" exists. My guess is that it would help a lot with features that are specific to the Star Trek universe.

Taking this further, one could take the resulting samples, and "rate" them, before feeding it back in the training engine. This would make some kind of "adversarial" feedback loop, but instead of the GAN, humans are involved in the loop (which could be used to train an adversarial network as well, that said). My hope is that it would converge to much better results in a shorter time, and with less input data.

My apologies if those are common concepts in ML. If so, I'd love to look at some references that could further my understanding on these topics, and get me to use the right terminology.
Would you also support a ban on stores that don't accept $100 bills? What about stores that refuse to accept payment only in pennies? The issue is in those cases that $100 bills make them targets for robbery and therefore cause undue burden on those stores. In fact, the same could be said of cash in general over other forms of payment. From what I've heard, China's mostly cashless system is a dream for both consumers and stores.
So the complaint is filed then Tesla can provide an answer and the SEC a reply to that answer. A reply is usually brief and reiterates points made in the original complaint. Here, however, the SEC introduced new arguments in its reply. This usually happens because the defendant's answer was strong. Therefore, the SEC seemingly believed its original complaint was insufficient. As such, the SEC is at a higher probability of looking bad here.

>What would be interesting is if they bypass the video display output phase completely and render the finished framebuffers to memory...

That's exactly what NVENC, Capture SDK, AMD's AMF, and Intel's QuickSync do. Just encode the framebuffer output of whatever game engine you're using with one of those API's. (And remember to make sure your game engine license allows you to use it that way. As always, if you use Unity, you're out of luck, they specifically forbid you from doing this.)
He probably carries a pistol with him everywhere and standard practice is to keep it loaded with a round chambered. If demonstrating safe handling were necessary, he probably should have brought another pistol and kept his carry weapon holstered.

In any case, he should have cleared the weapon before his demonstration and kept it pointed in a safe direction.
On the other hand, Cloudflare doesn't know me from Adam but my ISP has my billing information. It basically depends on your threat model. I'm pretty sure I'm way down the ladder for the NSA, but maybe I don't want an employee at my local ISP getting in a tizzy about me because I frequent sites they don't like. And who knows in today's world what websites might outrage them? I live in a small town. This might actually be a thing I need to worry about.

I'm not a db person, but are they sharding. Surely as they're only writing simple tuples with a petition they can easily write to multiple separate dbs (shards I guess) and amalgamate the results at leisure?

That link says they need to update the web content perpetually, but it seems it's only the number of signatories they need to keep live, isn't it. So once it breeches 100k then they can estimate the signatory rate (including acceleration) and update the row count when they think 200k will be breeched - at 1k/min updating the row count each hour is fine, presumably. Surely that's not a massive processing job?

I'd love some input here, because naively it seems like they're not handling that much data? A million rows of 1kB is still only 1GB, and they're only gathering a few simple fields in each tuple??

Is it fair to compare studio-quality analog with a consumer format for digital? You would have to compare studio-analog with studio-digital and I'd be surprised if the analog comes out on top in any way.

Techniques like close mic'ing aren't really about ease, it's about capturing a different sound and it predates the digital era.

Your preference for particular mics and instruments is kind of irrelevant to digital vs analog as a storage format, isn't it?
The US government should model its train service after Europe, since Europe clearly knows what it’s doing and the US clearly doesn’t.

Also, would you then be consistent and argue that the government shouldn’t be spending so much on highways for cars, since it’ll just waste that money too?
I hear ya! At first after getting off of Facebook, I substituted Reddit, which was WAY worse. Hacker News is the closest I get to a Social Network, now.

> How exactly [can LGBT+ people be hurt by conversion therapy]?

Great question. I'm going to assume this is being asked in good faith.

If someone feels attraction to same sex people, and they are told by important people in their lives that this is shameful, they can internalize that shame. This can lead to thoughts like, "I feel bad about who I am", "I am disgusted by who I am", "Why can't I escape these feelings about who I am?!", "No one will ever love me if I am like this.", "I have to stop these feelings or I'll be evicted from my community.", etc.

Constant internal monologues like this can create stress, anxiety, and depression. Adding a religious element can increase these feelings. If someone is spending a significant amount of time wondering, "Am I going to be eternally punished if I can't shake these feelings?" I can imagine that could cause serious, significant, and lasting anxiety.

Conversion therapy, in my understanding, reinforces these feelings. Telling someone, "yes, it is shameful to feel this way. Yes, you are at risk of eternal damnation if you act on these feelings." It's important to differentiate between Conversion Therapy and Therapy.

Shame, anxiety, depression, and stress like this lead to all sorts of negative health outcomes -- depressed immune systems, negative social outcomes, self-harm, suicide, etc.

It's important to understand that I'm asserting just that this can cause harm. Not that it will always cause harm. I'm specifically pushing back on the idea that if Conversion Therapy doesn't involve physical abuse, it therefore cannot cause harm.
I don’t think it’s fair to call ST: Discovery a part of the franchise at this point.

It’s this bizarre smodge of minority group agendas, dark horror-like scenes and modern political ideas disguised as the family friendly Star Trek that you could watch with your kids that we all actually loved.

And are the plot lines intelligent? Do they make you think about interesting (non overdone ie non-left) philosophical issues? Not really, and they’re strung along in an awkward and long story arc that’s pretty dull and predictable and takes away from the per-episode storytelling :/
While I agree with you, it's also true that aliasing occurs below the Nyquist frequency and some people can hear those artifacts in ideal listening conditions (acoustic environment, DA conversion, monitors/headphones, etc). I seriously doubt the author can hear the differences considering his age.

Another point is maybe the author actually meant he preferred analog recording and mixing vs doing it all in digital, and his point was not really about the reproduction method. It's common knowledge in the industry that good analog mixing desks (eg: Neve) are still better than any plugin at summing and EQing.

Deadmau5 recently switched his studio to a Neve desk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWZdPQAXxW4
MagneticReadHead is a bit different than what I think your parent post was asking about—that's more what Gallium was. The breakdown of approach is:

1. Gallium was a traditional gdb/lldb-style debugger

2. Debugger.jl is a pure interpreting debugger

3. MagneticReadHead works by compiling a modified version of the code you want to debug that is instrumented to add debugging hooks (this is different from how gdb/lldb work).
My experience in college radio (a while back) suggests that most professional musical artists, indie or otherwise, are just not that good. I don't lament the democratization of music like this guy does. If nobody wants to listen to him, am I supposed to feel bad?

As for supporting the musicians, I'm happy to pay 10 USD/month for music streaming, but it's not worth more to me. My totally acceptable alternative is just not listening to such paid music at all. The musicians owe me nothing, and vice versa.
Oh weird, you're totally right.

Looks like the removed FMA4 on the bobcat to jaguar transition.
Really any of them are preferable to nothing at all. Yep, CPAN at least does the bare minimum to get you up and running and saves its configs, you don't have to do a mini research project just to get it working. I think Jenkins is a good model for basic web UIs. I wish tools like Terraform and Consul had a setup UI, but I guess that's how Hashi makes money.
The underlying assumption here, that being gay is a delusion which can be corrected through therapy and scripture, is incorrect.

Straight people don't need help accepting their straightness anyway... heteronormativity is already the universal cultural norm.
Um, that's not what I read at all. What I read was that TNG's FX was all rendered with computers at the time, at NTSC resolution, so it was all useless when they did the remastering, and they had to make all-new FX shots. The place where the film was invaluable was for all the live-action stuff (i.e., anything with actors and sets, or on-location). It's much like what they did with ST:TOS, except TOS actually did film real models, but they were so awful by today's standards they redid them with modern CGI.
The federal highway system must be even worse then. It brings in zero revenue and costs way, way more than the trains.
That's the best practice in the security world though. There's no such thing as an unhackable system, only systems where A) the cost of attacking them is more than the value of the assets under protection B) where the time it takes to attack the system is long enough for the attack to be detected.

Cost. That was it. The project in Spain was significantly cheaper to build and was only a 50kw tower. The EnviroMission tower was going to be 200 MW facility. The benefits of the solar updraft tower are huge: Able to be built using readily available materials (concrete, glass, etc.) If a terrorist blows it up, just build another one. Tremendous tourism potential. The skirt/greenhouse could grow crops making the air denser and more efficient, and with a LOT of open land Australia would've been the perfect choice. Unfortunately it just came down to building cost.
It was a bit of both but by far the bigger issue was that compilers emit terrible debug info. It's barely good enough to debug C/C++ code and for Julia code it was impossible to reliably get values of local variables and set breakpoints.
Sure. Just like you could strangle someone to death, but doing so is still illegal.

Yes, you can probably build or smuggle a gun if you're determined enough. I'm OK with stopping "the dysfunctional, mentally ill" you mention, and having them be outright illegal increases the chances of someone seeing them and tipping off the cops, being dunned in by an informant, or them being intercepted at customs, a traffic stop, etc.

You correctly highlight that this sort of thing is difficult, and won't ever be a 100% solution. Your apparent conclusion - that we shouldn't ever do anything - doesn't logically follow.
That quote by Rickover is one reason we should fix the NRC process, so companies don't have to spend $300M and get nothing but a paper reactor.

Moltex Energy agrees with you on pumping fuel salt. They keep their liquid fuel in a fuel rod, open at the top, no pumping. All the rods are immersed in a pool of liquid salt coolant, which just sits there. Secondary coolant in pipes through through that.
>I think people making money making music was an aberration in history, not "the way it should be".

Absolute nonsense. We have evidence of professional musicians dating back to at least ancient Egypt. Plato complained in his writings about popular musicians holding unruly concerts. The invention of recorded music was a disaster for professional musicians, because it rendered most of them unemployed.

People of the past had far more limited access to music, but they weren't stupid or undiscerning - they wanted to hear the best possible music and were willing to pay for it. Busking is probably as old as currency and remains a perfectly reasonable way of making a living. If you owned a bar or tavern, having the best music in town was a huge competitive advantage that you would be more than willing to pay for. Dancehalls had bands, circuses had bands, theatres had bands. The Ottoman Empire had military marching bands in at least the 13th century.
Thank you for this. I was thinking that my understanding of NVENC was completely wrong based on what the sibling posts are positing.

Yes, but they also require active participation from the developer and many developers are unwilling or unable to spend the time to implement them, especially when there's a rather large range of disabilities to account for.

It's possible that tech like this could offer a user-definable solution to these issues.
