Voting for policies that hurt people at large isn't "fighting back". What has the public done to you to deserve this? It's like working at a restaurant and spitting in customers' food because the restaurant owner is overworking you, and then saying no, the sociopath is the guy who's forcing me to come in on the weekend. Fuck that noise, you're both sociopaths.

If you're unhappy about being forced into duty, you can abstain from voting at all, or you can focus your energy on changing the system so that it works on a purely voluntary basis. That's perfectly fine. But let's not pretend that voting for bad policies, which will inevitably hurt people who have nothing to do with your predicament, is a proper way to fight back.
Right on. Here's an amazing example.

Pharo Smalltalk has a feature where you can find methods by giving an example of the input and output you expect. Forget how to uppercase a string? Just write:

'eureka' . 'EUREKA'

and the IDE will suggest the method asUppercase.

It does this by dynamically invoking all of string's methods until it finds one whose output matches!
> You have to learn to "speak" types, which can be very tricky. There's a joy that comes with the freedom of no static types.

If you struggle with "speaking types" then that's an indication that you don't understand the domain of values your code works with. Having a solid plan for exactly what shape your data can take is empowering, not restrictive. To some extent, certain restrictions provide greater freedoms in the sense that you can make more accurate assumptions about your data without needing to perform a bunch of run-time checks or write hundreds of unit tests to ensure your code works in all possible situations.
It doesn't depreciate?!
Maybe! But you have to admit that having static types with an AST available provides considerably more program synthesis and intellisense possibilities than only having an AST.

You obviously didn't read what I said.

Well you didn't really justify anything or understand what I said and then accused me of acting in bad faith. Lovely.

> A child might call their parents stupid for not letting them eat candy all day. Objectively the parents are not stupid, the child has a mistaken perspective.

Also the nanny state that you are promoting will have the opposite effect of what you want. Most of the places that have draconian rules are normally the places where most of the vice occurs ... it just happens out of sight of the authorities.

> I hope you realize you are justifying horrible, vile speech by trying to "see both sides".

I believe in freedom of speech. If people cannot say vile things they cannot be corrected by the rest of society, by silencing them you will just force it underground where it will fester. Well done you are making the problem worse.

CalPERS rejected a push by the state treasurer to divest from gun companies that make guns or gun parts that are illegal in California.

I don't think STRS has had the same push for divestment, but they're known for taking a more activist approach. IIRC CalSTRS actually has multiple employees whose entire job is to lobby gun companies to change their policies.

Of course that sort of political and shareholder pressure is what led Smith and Wesson to start putting integral locks in the frame of their revolvers. That decision has had an almost universally negative response from their actual customers— those in-frame locks have a tendency to get rattled around by recoil and freeze the gun in an unsafe state.

The baby was born early. The mom did some research and found a more easily digested formula specifically designed for babies with digestive issues.

(Colic...) just means the baby is crying a lot and nobody knows why.

I would add that it means "and we don't care and we feel like doing nothing for a crying baby is fine once we've labeled it." It's a practice I wish would go die in a fire somewhere because babies labeled as "colicky" are routinely allowed to wail for an hour or more while no one makes any effort whatsoever to comfort them.
Some types of IO have been faster than CPU for quite a long time. For instance, a cache miss is typically about 200x slower than accessing data already in the register file. What this means in practical terms is if you miss cache all the time (aren't garbage collected languages wonderful?) your 4GHz CPU turns into a 20MHz pumpkin (or thereabouts), and a fully sequential read from a modern _spinning drive_ (150+ MB/sec) could produce more throughput. A consumer-grade 10GbE NIC will leave it completely in the dust, as will USB3.

I'm in no way judging other people's souls, but we can and must judge right and wrong for ourselves. And if, along the way of learning right from wrong for ourselves, we realize that right and wrong applies to more than just ourselves, and we find solid evidence of this, we must believe accordingly. Truth is Truth. Reality is not fluid, our existence is very real, and so are the laws of reality just as real as the laws of physics. They apply to all people at all times, and they still would have even if you and I were never born.

My SO was a HS teacher for a while, so I have a tiny bit of insight, though it may be dated. Per my SO's discussions:

Nowadays, the most popular girl in school, always a coveted title, is not the prom queen, nor the most wealthy princess, nor the queen of the clicks.

It's the same exact person in every HS in America, every tween girl hangs on her word and turns on the swings of her moods and hair color.

It's Beyonce.

(It may be Ariana Grande today, or someone else, but back when my SO was teaching, it was Beyonce)

What's odd is that tons of Americans spend a whole bundle of money every year to go to Europe, and talk about how great it is.

Having lived there for a number of years, it's just different, really, and certainly not "worse" than the US, if you're an adaptable person.

Our rental here in the US has a massive front lawn that is a complete waste of land and water - to keep the stupid lawn that no one ever, ever uses green.

It has a big back yard too. Our kids like it, but to be honest, I think they preferred the situation in Italy, where we had no yard, but a park close by where they'd often find friends to play with.
Neat, but not generalizable because methods often have side effects. You could easily know when this search is safe in a language that types side-effects, like Haskell. So types can enhance this feature too.

I doubt 1%+ expense ratio funds across the board is the average case, but I could be wrong. Perhaps if you let your 401k provider manage your money.

In my 401k, I pay 1.5 bps/yr on 80% of my portfolio, a Fidelity S&P 500 fund (FXAIX), or $0.15 per $1,000 per year.

My other two funds are a Fidelity Small-Cap and Fidelity Mid-Cap funds (FSSNX and FSMDX), I pay 2.5 bps/yr on the other 20% between these two funds, or $0.25 per $1,000 per year.

If my balance was $100,000 right now, I would pay 80x0.15+20x0.25, or about $17/year for each $100k. $170 per million, and so on.

These 401k mutual funds have better expense ratios than my Roth IRA holding, VTI (Total Market ETF), which is at 3 bps/yr, and the mutual fund couterpart of VTI, VTSAX is 4 bps.

There is absolutely no possible way for a high-yield savings acct that yields (Fed Funds rate minus 15-25 bps) in interest (Goldman's marcus.com pays 2.23% APY, for instance, fed funds is ~2.40%) will ever approach my portfolio after 40 years of returns, barring total societal collapse.
The ACA barely touched employer-based insurance. It definitely did not make things "modestly worse for most people". You are blaming the ACA for problems that existed in the health care system before the law went into effect. Any degradation of care for "most people" is because of crazy year-over-year cost increases that were already happening.

And the people who had pre-existing conditions before the ACA were well and truly screwed. That didn't mean insurance was expensive for them - it meant insurers wouldn't sell them insurance at any price.

My personal anecdote: Pre-ACA, I was denied insurance by Aetna at age 35 because I had "acid reflux" and I had injured my neck in my 20s (even though I had no problems with it at the time). Then all the other insurers denied me, because the first question on any application was, have you ever been denied for health insurance? The annoying thing was the ACA had already been passed, but had not gone into effect yet - so until that happened, I guess it was just business as usual for the insurers.

My niece was upset due to just being fed and her stomach having the usual baby issues, a bit of jiggling on my lap with my little finger to suck on calmed her right down as mum was having a bit of a meltdown due to lack of sleep, and baby being super demanding. Niece was asleep in no time due to being handled confidently and noticing what was working and what wasn't.

One size most certainly doesn't fit all.
Despite having an overhead of transferring data to and from the GPU: it's still faster to move the data to the GPU and let the GPU process it locally than it is to leave it in main RAM away from the processing. Transferring data to and from the CPU is also a source of overhead; even your CPU has cache to bring the data more local. So what's your point?

If the goal is to help as many kids as possible it's easier to make public schools better by funding them properly and ensuring they are well run. That's effectively what happened where I live. Private schools were much more popular 20 years ago; several have gone out of business since then.

At the same time, that's not enough to help everyone, especially economically disadvantaged groups. We still have an achievement gap. Kids show up with vastly different levels of preparation--some of the kindergarten kids have visited Rome and know where it is. Others have never even been to the zoo.
Easier said than done when an infant is wailing into your face!

Once I saw with my own eyes what a powerful positive effect this had on my baby, it got lots easier to just take a minute to calm myself down as the first step of the process. It only failed in cases where I was breastfeeding and had eaten a thing that was bothering my baby, baby had been fed juice they were allergic to because we were out and about and ran out of formula and I bought what seemed like the least worst thing for them or similar circumstances.

The adult heart is so much larger than the baby's heart that it literally helps set the tempo for the baby, like a drum beat coordinating a group effort.

And I have health problems, I'm anxiety prone, etc etc etc. This was an empowering experience. I don't need to manipulate my baby or sing a lullaby, etc. I just need to be calm myself and, if there aren't hidden problems, this will help baby calm down and go to sleep.

My sister's baby had serious sleep issues. I visited for a month to serve as the nanny. This had such a big positive impact, they rearranged furniture to support the routine I established for the baby. The baby still had sleep issues, but it was a vast improvement over things before the month I spent caring for the infant.

I was just really good with babies in my youth.
> But the main strength of dynamic types is the ability to defer decisions until runtime.

That's not a strength. Deferring until runtime only that which must be deferred is a strength, but that's not one exhibited by dynamically typed languages. It is one that's available to statically typed languages though, like C# and now even Haskell has a deferred typing mode.

> JS uses dynamic types because you couldn't build the web any other way.

That's patently false. The whole engine running every browser is statically typed. There are libraries for working with the full DOM in HTML documents for Java, C# and other typed languages.
> What has the public done to you to deserve this?

Well, what they did was force me into temporary slavery.

> It's like working at a restaurant and spitting in customers' food

If the customers were forcing me to work in a restaurant, I think I might do that.

> If you're unhappy about being forced into duty, you can abstain from voting at all

Why would I do that, when a much more effective method of screwing over the people who forced me into this, is by voting for bad policy?

The people who would force me into this want good policy. So I do the opposite of what they want.

This is why you don't do stuff like this. Because the people who you are forcing into slavery aren't going to play "nice" with your plan. They will instead take actions that you don't like, regardless of your complaints about it, or regardless how "immoral" you believe it to be.

I do not have to live by your code of ethics. I will instead live by mine, and screw over your plan in the way that hurts everyone the most.

You don't get to complain about "fairness" or the "right" way for me to protest, when you are forcing me into slavery.

I would engage in this behavior specially because it would very effectively sabotage this plan to force people into the work.
> The kinds of bugs that get caught by a static type system are also caught by a good suite of automated

This is correct in theory, but to get the same benefit you'll need to write all the tests that the static language would guarantee. That's both relying on the programmer being always correct and that they think the time writing those tests is worth it.
I remember when PDF came out, I didn't get it. I thought the problem was already solved by compressed postscript files! I was already used to downloading and sometimes printing paper documentation in this format.

It was natural to view Postscript files on NeXT and UNIX machines, and Ghostscript was already thing. What could be better than just using the "native" language of the printer? I didn't realize that this was not a common view, or even possible for most personal computers at the time.

I was also misinformed for quite some time about the internal format of PDF, assuming it was just PS wrapped up in a container. In a sense, this is true, but there's a lot more (embedded fonts, transparency, forms are just a few that come to mind).

People were driving around with 12v portable B&W TVs in the front seat in the 70s, (I think "taxi driver" features just such a situation) so it's possible the laws had appeared around the time this product did.

Yes! Was surprised the paper didn't specifically mention RDMA, or to a lesser degreee SRIOV, with all their focus on NICs.

Also, there may be ongoing research, but it isn't theory at all. HPCs, HFTs, and the could providers have been leveraging RDMA for a long time - e.g. Infiniband. Doing it over Ethernet (RRoCE) is relatively new, and it isn't necessarily any big leap that is happens over 100G instead of 40 or 1.

However, an interesting point as network links go to 100G+ (esp. for RDMA) is again on the storage/processing side. E.g. a wireshark capture on a 100G connection? ~12.5 GB/second, near max bandwidth for DDR3, and can fill 64GB of RAM in about 5 seconds at full fire-hose. So again the hot-potato of bottleneck will be passed, at least for maximum sustained performance situations.

Side note, AFAIK RoCE exists mostly due to non-technical arguments, particularly the inertia created by existing familiarity and deployment of Ethernet in data centers. I think Microsoft was the one flexing on a standards-body to push it through. It is somewhat of a kludge as Ethernet wasn't designed with RDMA in mind - no guaranteed predictable latency, frames can and will disappear if switch buffers overflow, etc. So IMO "research" into the topic isn't super profound - akin to studying how your sedan might be heavily modified to go off-roading almost (but not quite) as well as a pick-up truck.

Even now many that have the luxury are just going Infiniband from the get-go if RDMA/latency are the key priorities rather than tacked on later.
The boy himself says: "When people see me on the street operating my excavator and tipper, they are usually surprised." I don't imagine he's flying to Beverly Hills to demo his projects and then flying back to Nigeria, but I guess that's a possibility.

The environment the boy was filmed in suggests that he doesn't have a lot to work with. Maybe that's BBC going for the sensationalist angle, but I doubt it given that the article was originally produced for BBC News Pidgin:

The initiative to actually implement his designs with limited resources is the hallmark of a hacker, and he belongs on the front page of this site.

His young age makes it that much more interesting. I have worked with 15 year-olds before and let me tell you that there's a wide spectrum of abilities. In particular, the ability to reduce plans into an implementable format quantitatively (i.e., measuring and cutting accurately) is extremely rare even in the US.

Very few wealthy US students could do what this boy has done.
When I've driven I have never had to stand for 40 minutes in rush hour in a jammed Milan subway car with my nose in a strangers armpit while another stranger breaths down my neck. I've never been ask for spare change while in my car. I've never been challenged to a fight for asking someone to take their feet off the opposite seat so my wife could sit down. I've never been pickpocketed. I've never had a bad dixieland band set up, play a few measures of bad out-of-tune jazz and then aggressively solicit donations. I've never had a creepy passenger stare at me for the entire ride as if they are trying to memorize my face. My car seat is never covered with vomit when I get in. I've never had a car commute cancelled because of a a labor action, or a signal malfunction, of work being done on the lines or bureaucratic incompetence. I've never had my car stop running because it was too late in the day or a holiday. All these things and much more have happened to me on public transport.

Yes, it is irritating to be stuck in traffic in a car -- you have to move your right foot back and forth between the accelerator and brake while you sit in your adjustable leather seat, traveling on your own schedule to your custom destination in climate controlled comfort while rocking out to music, an audible book or a podcast.
> Medical services aren't just interchangeable factory goods on a retail store shelf that you can easily pick based on price alone and then slot it right into its widget shaped hole, and never will be.

Almost nothing actually works that way. Walmart doesn't stock exactly the same goods as Target. One of them may be closer to where you live than the other.

Which is why price isn't the only criteria. If the office closest to your home charges $250 and one which is fifty miles away charges $200, you can perfectly well choose to pay the extra $50 for the convenience.

The issue is that when the nearest office decides to charge $1000 and the one fifty miles away is still charging $200, that should maybe change the outcome. But not if you aren't aware of the price difference to begin with.

And this even applies to the beloved family doctor -- there is a limit to the amount of price gouging that a familiar face is worth.
I made the case above that choice in education is not exclusive to private schools, and there I perhaps worded that statement poorly and should have said "Choice is not the defining characteristic of private schools". You still have just as much choice in the type of education your child gets without private education.

The author's argument revolves around removing the choice of paying for quality, not removing choices of the type of schools and education available.

If we got rid of private schools, we'd still have all the choice, but the choices and quality would be available to everyone, not just rich families.
