One use case for this could be dumping generated algorithms from sympy. I was doing some constraint programming and ended up almost writing something very similar albeit poorly and ad-hoc, by generating .c files that I #included into other .c files, it was very messy. The use case was to write some mathematical relations and generate C functions to calculate their differentials. It was a lot of manual copy-pasting until I came up with the #include trick, but this would have been better.

When I had severe burnout I would go to work but could not accomplish anything. I was more like a zombie. I asked to take a vacation and a few weeks leave without pay to help get my head straight. It was denied (I was too important to be gone that long, but not important enough to be paid well). So I quit. Took a 6 weeks to ride a bike to Maine. By about week 10 I was really ready to work again... oh well

Since then I have learned to recognize the signs much earlier and I take time off when I need to. Hey wow, guess who took today and tomorrow off. We are going to shop for Raspberry Pi parts .... that should fix me :)

Oh sunlight helps, a lot!

Karl Popper wrote widely on this.

His basic point was that a tolerant society can not tolerate intolerance.

It's often referred to the paradox of tolerance, and is widely accepted as lacking logical or practical flaws.

Not really - they are relying on keeping output high to depress prices. Otherwise, other sources of oil (eg, US shale, South American oil sands) that are more expensive to extract become worthwhile, sending oil revenues to those other countries.
This is the cheapest oil to pump in the world, therefore it is likely to be the last to ramp down production. All the others will become uneconomical before this one does and therefore, unless they tap out while prices are still high, will stay in the ground longer.
> Whether anyone else wrote works in C minor is a matter of fact - or not

Not exactly. That is likely a statement of fact, which is a conclusion expressed in a factual manner, but conclusions are still opinions. Facts are atomic data unhinged from description. Journalism is a good example of presenting facts in commentary. You will see language like: "according to the memo, person x wrote song y". Journalism is careful to differ to facts as a point of deflection from invention, because when they are fail at such they tend to get sued and lose.

Also, facts are never true or false. Facts are either valid or invalid according to other facts. Something that is not falsifiable is probably an ill formed assumption upon logic.

Making a dent: Japan probe prepares to blast asteroid
Wait, where does this happen? The airline industry seems to have a high degree of competition and very good pricing for consumers. Which makes sense given that it isn't an industry conducive to natural monopolies. The cost to open a route isn't that high compared to the cost to operate the route, and the cost of operation scales with revenue from the route; there isn't much in the way of fixed capital required for a route.
The benchmarks seem to be limited to small functions, my big question would be how does prioritized grammar enumeration scales to large problems (many variables) compared to Grammatical evolution ?
Nabokov was a Cornell professor for years. He didn't get that job without being able to speak English. In the video it's clear that he says things that weren't on the cards. The reason for the cards was not that he couldn't speak, but because he couldn't write on the fly. And who could, at Nabokov's level?

The reason Nabokov wouldn't speak in public without index cards was not ignorance but perfectionism. Index cards were his instrument—don't forget that he wrote his novels on those cards as well. For Nabokov, speaking in public without his index cards would be like not being properly dressed, or maybe dressed at all. Plenty of writers have that anxiety, including ones who never leave their native language.

You're still right, though. Nabokov's spoken English was nothing compared to his writing, and his genius would have made him painfully aware of that. The OP contains a partial version of this famous quote: "My private tragedy, which cannot, and indeed should not, be anybody's concern, is that I had to abandon my natural idiom, my untrammeled, rich, and infinitely docile Russian tongue for a second-rate brand of English..." The key word there is tragedy. To him his English was second-rate, and he would know.
Just curious: which compilers according to your statement are designed for extreme performance? I know at the very right of the compilation time/performance axis lies SAT-based "super optimizers", but what lies between super optimizers and general-purpose compilers like icc?
I'm fine with watermarks. The only downside to them is that they are traceable to the original buyer if someone else gets their hands on your and decides to distribute it online, so lending them to a friend is risky.

But the watermarks really only matter when they get illegally copied around, and don't hurt the owner in the way more restrictive forms of DRM do.
When hiking last summer in High Tatras, I asked for a glass of Kofola in one of the mountain huts to replenish some energy and water. The warden suggested to try 'citrus radler', 0% alcohol instead. I went for 0.5l of Kofola first but still thirsty so I ordered that one too.

Oh boy what a difference - taste is so much better, you don't feel overwhelming sugary taste (even with citrus addition its still too much for me), but rather like good quality beer flavor without any bitterness. Hard to describe, but lets say I never ordered Kofola afterwards if there is a choice.
thanks! I'm going to add them right now
> Global Foundries have stopped further investment beyond 14nm.

That's an interesting approach since they'll be able to refine the 14nm step itself much like Intel has been doing for some time. That leaves them in a pretty good position as the finer nodes (10nm, 7nm etc.) will be inherently limited for a long time due to their unfavorable NRE costs, use will be possible only for the highest-profile stuff with the broadest feasible market.
There is no Kindle in Poland. In fact, there is no Amazon in Poland either(which is almost ironic considering that there are a couple huge Amazon warehouses in Poland - they serve customers of Amazon.de, as they are both very close to the German border - I suspect the labour costs are lower in Poland hence it makes more sense to have the warehouses there. Incidentally, going to Amazon.pl redirects you to Amazon.de instead).

However, in the absence of Amazon, domestic services have sprouted instead - there's a few very big ebook stores, an excellent Audible replacement(with huge superproductions involving famous Polish actors voicing the lines being made regularly), instead of Amazon and Ebay we have Allegro(which in my personal opinion has leapfrogged ebay by about a century worth of development, it's just a much nicer experience). Ebay tried entering the Polish market a few times with huge marketing campaigns and lots of deals, but Allegro's dominance is just so untouchable that I think they have just given up now. I suspect Amazon doesn't even try for the same reason - it's not even localized to Polish(although Polish customers can still order items from any Amazon site, they get delivered to Poland without any issues and for free if you have Prime).
As if the same OEMs would constrain themselves when targeting other platforms.
I think you're overstating the position of clean energy. The US currently gets 11% of its power from "renewables". 45% of that is from burning biofuels, wood, and a very small amount of bio waste.

You are right that the politics of this is very interesting, though.
> To me as a casual observer it has always been obvious that the price of energy over the long term is going to zero.

This is not at all obvious to this casual observer. Earth radiates heat away at a constant rate. We can never produce more energy than the earth radiates away, for obvious reason. With current trajectories we will release more energy than earth radiates away in less than 200 years. I'm not sure how the price of a limited resource can go to zero, but I'm also not very well versed in economics.
I'm surprised that any of this was documented, given that importation of slaves to the USA was banned from 1808.
She thinks the internet is a terrible place, yet she seems to think nothing of putting hateful content out there.

Oh wait, there's context to those hateful tweets. Sorry, I keep forgetting that there's context to the things we say and do. I guess I forgot that context still exists in our viral-story-obsessed culture.

Seriously though, why anyone still thinks that it's okay to act like an a-hole on the internet and then - with no self-awareness - criticize the culture they've helped fashion.

This is actually not at all pedantic but a very fundamental, if subtle at first glance, point about purity. Once you start doing more advanced monadic programming it stops being subtle at all. Many people, yes "even on HN", are totally fooled by do notation and the imperative nomenclature, but there is nothing similar.

You misunderstand it as well: it has nothing to do with evaluation mode. Idris is eagerly evaluated, for example, and _that function is still pure_! `f x = putStrLn x` gets "finally" evaluated and yes there is still no side effect. It is so evaluated that you can bind it to a variable and apply another function on it. Just like 2^100 is a pure expression, so is `putStrLn "hello"`.

> It is clear OP meant a program as in an entire non-trivial system, not individual functions; even if they are programs themselves.

It is not clear. Does he mean including the OS and hardware? Because no matter how complex, a pure program is still pure.

The biggest issue is actually food - most of the seeds grown today are engineered to depend upon fossil-fuel based chemical fertilizers, and cannot actually survive on their own without both the chemical fertilizers and a large helping of herbicides/pesticides/fungicides (many of which are also produced by the chemical industry). Break that dependency and you have to undo the Green Revolution that multiplied agricultural output by 10x. Do that and instead of the world's current food production being able to support a population of 9B if they were all willing to eat a vegetarian diet, you'd be looking at 900M, i.e. about 85% of people on earth would have to die.

I suspect that if you took away all the demand for oil from powering cars, though, there'd be plenty left at reasonable prices for growing food and maybe even flying planes. So you do need some fossil fuel production, but get rid of its use in automobiles, heating, and electricity and the remaining reserves can be allocated much more efficiently.

2) Don't normalize that behaviour so I have to do it too.
On first look, the language seems superficially similar to Nim. Which, per se, is certainly a plus in my book! ...but makes it somewhat difficult to understand when should I pick one or the other.

Harm is not a concrete concept in your characterization. It's pretty non-concrete and you've demonstrated no manner in which it occurs under the circumstance, only the possibility of it occurring.

If my friends and I all decide to self-insure as a group and we will pool our money to do so and we all agree to be covered by our collective-owned policy only so long as we submit our data in to the group, I want that to be permissible.

This is us choosing to interact with each other as a freely-associating group. That's our business. I don't want it restricted because I have lots of friends.

And I'm sick of people continually taking away my right to use my data with other people who choose to use their data. There is a societal cost to not allowing freedom. I'm not game for some Communist-style Committee for Personal Use of Personal Data Voluntarily Given. Yes, CoPUPeDVoG is not okay.

Is there a good course for standalone Natural Language Processing?

I came across MIT OCW’s Advanced NLP - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-compu... , but does someone has a similar or a better standalone NLP course in mind? From MIT OCW, Stanford , Coursera, Udacity, et al?

I am very much interested. Could be free or paid.

Even PDF’s of lecture notes could do.

CIA plans to award multibillion-dollar for cloud services deal in 2021
Ask HN: Single Server with Filesystem Database?
I'm currently building a software-as-a-service app and using a novel architecture

I'm going to use the unix specifically Debian file system and user accounts as the users database. so basically whenever someone signs up I run a shell script that creates a new user add some to some relevant groups. the benefits are I got password checking baked in and I can save their data as simple files under the user's home directory.

I'll disable shell login as well as whenever I run a workload for the service application I can use the operating system to run that command as the actual user.

I just figure it's a simple and useful architecture because I get all the benefits of multi-user operating system baked in without having to think about any of that myself. I don't have to worry about a database.

and if my audience scales then I just move to a bigger instance. plus if I need to debug or support something I can just go into the user's home directory and change it easily myself.

also looking at the pricing of instances and the pricing of my application this will be affordable and in order to make this happy side business I don't need that many paying users.

I just figured this is such a good and simple architecture where it's all of the one machine and I can manage all myself but I'm also writing it in the cloud but I could also move it out if I want it. it gets a lot of flexibility and simplicity and I just think it's better than you know having a separate database and separate web server and so on.

this probably downsides to this so am I asking for ideas about that, so I can handle them before they surprise me.

Any trading could be either gambling or trading. Gambling is when you put your money w/o any knowledge and hope "faith" will make you "lucky". Trading is when you understand finance, the underlying concepts of the securities you are trading and when you are well informed about the currency (for the forex at least) you will trade. All currencies are linked to the fundamentals of the country they belong to - finance, GDP, etc. For me personally they are harder to trade, as you need to inform yourself and learn a lot of the country's financials. Stocks are easier in that way, that when you know what to look for in the business of a company, you will find somewhere value, and you will "buy that business" - a trade, not a gamble.
But aren't they just an implementation detail, albeit a useful one? You'd find copy-on-write deltas in modern snapshotting filesystems too.

I think that there’s going to be an equilibrium for a long time. The less oil we use, the cheaper it will become and we will probably just be using the cheapest and most accessible oil fields.

Or, if history and the Malthusian fallacy is any indication, increasingly advanced technology for cheap oil extraction will always put prices in equilibrium, regardless of the demand for oil and the cost of extraction.

Yeah, I did two fully enclosed cave dives into the dark. We were following a line laid by the dive master, and he was clearly very experienced and lead the group (me and one other guy) slowly and calmly. We learned a low-turbulence way of propelling ourselves around before we went, so we didn't kick up too much dust in the tighter spots, and how to attract his attention with the torch.

It was stunning, we swam through some huge, completely submerged caverns, and through some small connecting passages with submerged limestone cavern features. We also surfaced in a bat cave at one point on the first dive. This was somewhere around Playa Del Carmen.

Just happy I was young enough at 22-ish not to really think about the risks :)

I don't think the rest of the tech world 'cares' that much about the government actions here due to relatively small market. The cynic in me thinks that they can still employ/host stuff here because more barriers have been put up for potential new Facebook sites.

Both major parties lost primary votes in NSW election last week despite winning. Whats to say it won't happen nationally? Despite the system allowing people to make sincere votes, the mainstream media are not talking about the policies of non major parties. So, it's up to us, 'tech workers' to inform others of alternative choices and let people know to not give a primary vote to the major parties.

There's at least one tech-oriented party that has been around since 2008, this is their policies platform https://pirateparty.org.au/wiki/Platform

Did you know a primary vote means money for that party? $2.75642 to be exact. Even if your vote did not lead your primary party to win, they would still get some money out of it.
City of Brussels to halt 5G due to health effects
The Australian govt. have timed this well.

The passage of this legislation has further closed the window for the big tech players to make the appropriate amount of noise about the anti-encryption legislation.

The opportunity was there a few months ago to blackout services to Australia with a heavily spun PR campaign about how if they can't serve Australians while respecting proper encryption, which has rightly become a major foundation of our digital communications, then they can't serve Australia at all.

The Australian govt. is mad if they think their usual "think of the children" schpeal tops the boomers generation's general ongoing emotional dependence on Facebook.com.

But we're far enough into the era of Big Tech now that the players with the most power don't give a fuck anymore about the internet's role as a potential enabler of The Good Parts of the western worldview (Facebook, being the outlier, never did and hardly pretended to).

Instead we have them being silent enough on anti-encryption legislation in Australia, and implementing censored search in China.

I think it's over.
