Heya,
for standard arrays that are small, the einsum-macro from Einsum.jl can be faster than BLAS. Einsum.jl translates the code simply into three loops and if cache-access patterns (presumably what most of BLAS optimisation is concerned with) isn't an issue, the for-loops are very fast.
A quick check shows that for a simple matrix multiplication, Einsum is faster for 5x5 matrices but slower for 10x10. (This is ignoring the compilation-time that calling a julia function for the first time incurs)
Many tools and programs have started life as a niche hacking tool. For example, XBMC. I also had to pause and wonder if this tied into the PSP somehow.
No, the behavioral test [1] one writes cannot be replaced by type checks nor does a type system reduce the need to write tests if you're doing testing correctly.

Storage is very cheap.

I did not expect to reach Google's scale during the next month so currently we are bootstrapped and rely on some AWS credits :)
Lol nice bait, troll.

When have Antifa, 3rd wave feminists, or any of it created mass shooters? The unspoken truth here is that this hate speech is creating and fueling that particular breed of violence.
As an embedded firmware developer, I really wish there was a way to outright disallow implicit type conversions in C source code. You'd have to exclude libraries, but I'm creating "typedef enum" to show what I'm doing AND help make sure I don't somehow screw it up. If all of those typedefs are interchangable with each other (and ints and chars), I lose out on part of the functionality.
You take out the eyes of a potato and stick it in the ground and you've also created a genetically identical clone. I'd bet most potato varieties are farmed this way and have been for a long time.

All of the bananas you eat are also genetically identical, since all banana trees grown for U.S. markets are clippings from the same original cavendish tree. Bananas is a real concern though for U.S. markets and there is currently a blight spreading, but the good news is there are hundreds of types of bananas, most of them more flavorful. The hard part is shipping them to the U.S. without bruising.

How to Shoot Yourself in the Foot with Kubernetes, #9 Will Surprise You
Ok I don’t play gta:o or rdr2:o but I bought both games full price.

I’m sorry but to pretend for even a second that both those titles didn’t include expertly crafted 50-100 hour single player worlds and stories is being extremely disingenuous.

Rockstar shipped twice what people are asking from valve, yes they tacked on online but they still shipped the single player experience many in this comment section are claiming they’d happily pay valve AAA prices for.

The difference is rockstar manages to do both and just because you dislike one doesn’t mean they didn’t ship the other.
You're conflating three concepts: forcing people to be vaccinated, banning speech opposing compulsory vaccination, and banning speech arguing that vaccines are a bad idea. In a free society, only the first has any possible justification (based on harm to others if you aren't vaccinated). The second is core political speech. The third is core scientific speech.
What if you have an autonomous team that set the ambitious deadline themselves? What if the deadline initially seemed realistic but later became more questionable?

My point is, the option and choice to work harder is one of a few options that can be chosen. That choice should never be forced upon the team or individual members, but if done freely it can work out great.

And who said anything about unpaid overtime?
Simple Draft Emails (in Gmail for me) is the easiest IMO.

I also use keep.google.com for personal purposes. Both work great.
It depends where you are.

In New York, about 60-65% of your electricity is emmission-free, with most of the rest being gas. In Ohio or Kentucky, it's all coal and gas. You're probably emitting more in Kentucky with a laptop than you are in NY with a workstation.

The whole argument is tedious and obnoxious anyway, as the marginal negative impact of squeezing a couple of years out of an older device is overstated and minimal -- you'd be better off assuaging your guilt by taking a 5m shower.
I don't think you're running a video hosting platform - and if you are, I'd be inclined not to use it.

You're also welcome to take your business elsewhere, if you wish YouTube had more Nazis on it.
That's exactly the idea - the environment does include humans. And if humans stopped intervening: that's "nature" (still adhering to the idea of nature as separate from humans, which I agree with other commenters, is problematic).
> Clojure and Erlang were in a category of their own

I wonder how they controlled for developer skill?
To be more pedantic, he said "trying to take off". I think an F-15 pilot who somehow found himself on a carrier deck and had to (try to) take off wouldn't hold anything back in the power/noise department. :)
This is pretty much the point i tried to make... that there is no huge difference and it is totally fine to simplify to "white" in communities like these. But re-reading my comment, i can now see how it can be seen as nit-picking instead of approving of this idea.
This reads like an episode of Silicon Valley translated from French with Google Translate.
> "Their country" seems to imply...

How else should the country they were born in, and are citizens of, be referred to? Without making it US specific, as my point is not limited to the US.
They don't even have a clear hypothesis, just a spew of possible connections to every condition under the sun and population level correlations with no thought as to controls or study design (or as they call it "compelling correlation data".) This is not a serious attempt at science, this is a gish gallop designed to foster alarmism by known crackpots.

> You argument is precisely the kind of one that would be deployed to argue against the health risks of tetraethyl lead, asbestos, or CFCs.

Except there are specific clinical links between lead/asbestos and particular, well identified conditions. On the other hand, your argument is the same used by the anti-vax and "alternative science" crowd since time immortal.

> It's possible it's not related, but it probably is. You are right, though "damning" and "urgent" are subjective, and depend on how much you care about preventable cancers and birth defects.

It must also depend on your definition of "probably"; typically, people use the word to mean "very likely" or "more likely than not", but I see you've developed your own definition here.
Sorry for the ignorance - what's symbolication? Sounds interesting and looking to learn.
“To quote an official of the U.S. Department of Education, many colleges “choose to increase tuition because they can get away with it.” - The scandal of tuition by Thomas Sowell
Absolutely this. My stepson (quite talented visual artist) was looking at going to SCAD. We met with the counselor, realized very quickly that they were more than happy to pile him up with a debt load that based on the odds of his getting a job in-field and his earning prospects if he did would see him still paying off his loans should he be fortunate to live into his second century.
Options two and four do different things than options 1 and 3 so those aren't really relevant to the discussion.

Options one and three are both good to have because sometimes you want one-line function definitions (mostly when you want your code to look like math) and sometimes you want big standard 'code looking' multi-line function definitions. If you don't want to choose in the future, just choose one now and stuck with it. Both can be used for everything if you're willing to put up with some awkward syntax.

f(x) = begin
x * x

If this is your main complaint about julia, I'd say we're doing pretty good.

Curly brackets are useful notation and it'd be a waste to use them up for something like this.
I don't like the idea that only career-focused degrees are important. I studied math not to get a job with those skills, but because I enjoyed math and wanted to add to the world's knowledge.

Money is a means to quality of life, sure. But you can't ignore the things that are part of the "quality" because they're not profitable.
> When have Antifa, 3rd wave feminists, or any of it created mass shooters?

If someone effectively manages to limit my liberties, does it matter if they used guns or not, or what other form of violence was involved?
> not white supremacist (since Poles, Russians, European Jews etc are white as well).

Half the bloody point of white supremacy is that the supremacist is the one who chooses who is white enough to be in the in-group, and who is not.

The definition of white changes, based on who the supremacist wants to kill, displace, or enslave.
The more I read about quantum mechanics the less i understand, and I'm absolutely unable to get into a proper learning path because it requires mathematics beyond my level and for which I'm not able to develop a taste on my own.

Of course I'm not interested in doing calculations but to appreciate quantum physics you have to know what the formalism behind are about and physicists are unable to explain it in simple terms for reasons I think I make out but can't properly formulate.

As an alternative path, Quantum Models of Cognition and Decision [1], may offer a less steep learning curve for the fact "you are the quantum system" and as such get to have actual experience with phenomena discussed in this book. To clear up the new-age vibe introduced in the last sentence, I think studying the maths through a phenomenon whose ambiguity is not questioned as a metaphysical abyss but is accepted as just being here in its mundane simplicity (semantic ambiguity in daily language use, that kind of thing) alleviates a lot of trouble in grasping what the maths mean in a physics course. Also the book is written for people coming from the fields related to psychology so it's a lot more approachable.

If a quantum system is going to transition between two states that have different energy, would we not expect it to take a time specified by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle? If the change in energy is delta E, would we not expect the transition to take delta T = h bar/delta E?
Instead you are hurting the global environment (not your local environment).

If you use an extra kW, the city doesn't get to sell the extra kW into the national grid. So the national grid needs an extra kW, which is most likely produced by gas!

In a nationally connected electricity grid, each extra kW you use, increases the usage of the next marginal kW of power on the network, which is most likely gas (unless you use the kW during off-peak, when it might be nuclear depending on your country).
Fascism started as a reaction to modernist political ideas that developed out of the enlightenment (like egalitarianism) and existential concerns like the perception of national decline (which fascism usually blames on decadence and libertine behaviors). It may have taken hold due to anti-communist sentiment, but that's separate from its philosophical underpinnings (which for fascism are a bit shaky)

Communism is problematic to them because it tries to eliminate social hierarchies deemphasizing national identity. Liberalism (in the classical sense) is problematic to them because of its (perceived) amoral decadence and its ability to empower "undesirable" "outsider" individuals to garner power inside a nation through wealth.
> What kind of world do we live in where using a free service and agreeing to explicitly documented T&Cs doesn’t constitute acceptance?

A world where a clause doesn't become valid just because it's in a contract. That's why various jurisdictions rule void kinds of clauses, even in the US. This isn't a new concept.
Huh, the overwhelming majority that I've personally witnessed is Anglo/British shitting on Polish immigrants.
Quest doesn't ask for SSN - I use them for my lab tests. If you're a collection agency you're going to be getting financial records which are going to include SSN (I assume from the financial reporting agencies) and your job is to connect them to the names of delinquent Quest customers.

So Quest has pretty much no blame here - it's the collection agencies that are allowed to buy people's financial records which include SSNs that are the bad guys here.
Because China isn’t White the US is planning a clash of civilizations
This really is an executive summary: glossing over the 3+ years it will take for digital transformation to bear fruit, along with the huge budget hits from unexpected expenditures. And it's not really hammered home that the executive level must be 100% invested in the transformation, or every other level will drag its feet, defeating most of the benefits.

There also seem to be some misnomers here, like the lack of a definition for DevOps (not true), or that continuous integration is "continuously testing software" (not really), to confusing the definitions of continuous delivery vs continuous deployment, to assuming 'measurement' only refers to components of systems and not the actual development of the systems, to the idea that you need automation to do DevOps (you don't).
One of the recent big breaches was from Apollo and when I searched for information on that, I found that they built their database from scraping the web.
>This is the thing I don't get. Do you not understand that it's not sustainable?

There's nothing about it that it's not "sustainable". Pensions aren't and shouldn't be a pyramid scheme (of younger vs older generations etc).

Let's consider UBI.

A UBI of $1000/month for 300M Americans comes about $3.5 trillion/year. That's around 18% of the US GDP.

And that's flat out giving the money.

Now reduce that by the current welfare spending which is $1.2 trillion (and which you could replace with the UBI, or perhaps just keep the 0.2 trillion of it for special cases), and you get to $2.5 trillion/year, or ~13% of the GDP.

For comparison overall government spending was 38% of GDP in 2017.

Of course "free pension" would be far less than that amount, because this UBI amount is calculated for 300M people. Whereas pensioners will be only people > 65 y.o or so -- a much smaller number.

We're getting to something like 5% of the GDP or less.

And that's assuming everybody is equally entitled to that money. Which people already having wealth need not be, living even less people entitled to that "free pension" -- if you have a million in savings you don't really need that $1000/month, do you?

And of course, workers pay (or can be made to pay, with an automatic tax of say 10% month, as most civilized western countries have) for their pensions throughout their careers. So a large amount of pensions can come from that.

Not to mention the pension money wont magically disappear -- it'll be reintroduced into the economy (and further taxed etc).

With sane housing laws and no crazy lifestyles, people can live just fine on $1000/month. In fact they do just that, even with less, all over the world, including in places with more expensive food and consumer products than the USA.

The two things that need to be kept low are rent (which should be: the US has ample space to built on --nobody said pensioners have to live in Miami or NY, and should not be costing more than a few tens of thousands for the kind of constructions that pass for homes there) and healthcare (which in the US is laughably overpaid for what it offers -- I have been asked to pay $200 for perfectly common and safe procedures one can do themselves, and which in other western countries you can have at your average pharmacy for $10).
That would miss gowld's point, which seems to be that a good first order approximation of the energy expended in the manufacture of a new machine is probably captured in a fraction of how much its retail price is.

You would definitely not expect that a machine selling for $1000 would have used more than $1000 of energy in its manufacture. Even accounting for energy costs all the way down the chain (materials arguably don't have any other cost other than energy and attention involved in collecting/isolating/refining them), my uninformed guess would be that with something like a computer, it's something like a bit less than half, with the rest of it being amortized human attention at various stages plus some profit margin, though I'm sure there's more refined and accurate models available.

So, throw out $480 as an energy number for our $1000. That means old hardware that's less energy efficient to the tune of $40 a month will out-impact the manufacturing cost of the new machine in a year.

As an exercise, contrast this with older automobile. If you've got a well-functioning 10-20 year old vehicle, it's probably somewhere between 80% to 50% as energy efficient as the higher efficiency choices you can buy new off a lot today. But the sticker price of a vehicle will tell you that it probably $10-20k of energy to produce. Because that number is high, from today, it will probably take your used vehicle longer than its remaining lifetime to exceed energy use involved in making the new car (and most new vehicles won't get you where you're going any faster either).
Did you deliberately drop BLM from the list because of the 2016 Dallas shooting? Who's trolling whom?
Is there any service that compiles relevant news(filtering out propaganda etc.). I would prefer an team of people doing the compile by manually going through various news sources and sending out the summary email to subscribers. That would be a huge time saver for me. I wouldn't milk paying money for that kind of service.
The problem is that not all of the home owners want the pets, and it's a compromise. My mom was adamant that declawed or nothing and the cat would have been probably been put down. As is, it got declawed and tolerated by her... but I'm sure she would have preferred undeclawed and no cat and it would have been put down at the shelter or drowned by the farmer.
hi,

Our secret sauce is:

Bloom conciliate the best of the Startuplaland religion: radical execution rather than bureaucracy, scalability, flawless user experience, strong product culture, iterative process, and open source: a mode of development that has proven its superiority, open governance, an unmatched sustainability and a perfect symbiosis between the interests of developers and those of users.

You can also learn more about how we plan to make money: https://www.kerkour.fr/blog/bloom-a-free-and-open-source-goo...

In short: yes there is already a lot of open source project, but I found that those open source project lack the user experience required to reach a non 'geek market'.
There's already a SCOTUS ruling on the books where the government cannot deny convicted sex offenders their access to Facebook because it is the public square. It's literally in the ruling.

The public square argument at this point isn't deniable, it's more about what the company that maintains that public square gets to define as trash.
You're talking about two different things. I work almost entirely non-remote. If all I did was write code, I could do so remote. I collaborate with people in 3 continents, probably 10 timezones, maybe more, many of whom I've never met in person, when it comes to code.

But design is a different beast. Collaborative design of complex systems has a few stages. There's a rapid prototyping stage where 3 people in a room bouncing ideas off of each other and scribbling is better than anything else I've done. Then you circle back with a document that formalizes things (like an RFC). The second part can be done with a distributed group. But the first part is better when people are close to each other. You see this even in distributed groups like OSS projects. They have conferences and work sprints where the maintainers can be colocated for a bit and brainstorm about things in person.
Well perhaps but regardless he didn't create quarks. He discovered their existence. No different than discovering the atom - it was there before people discovered it and so were quarks whether or not they're fundamental particles.

Technically he could have invented the theory of quarks I guess.
FWIW, it looks like changes to lock down tabs.executeScript and content scripts were originally considered[0], but I agree that tabs.executeScript not requiring a declared permission is a giant issue.

YouTube is the most popular website on the internet for regular (i.e. non-rich) people to participate in the public political debate by posting/watching videos. This means banning regular people from it substantially reduces their ability to meaningfully participate in the public political debate. When people can't peacefully advocate for their interests, they do so violently. We don't want real world violence, so it's probably not a great idea to give YouTube carte blanche to decide who can meaningfully participate in the public political debate.
I wonder whether this is how it was when RMS had the userland and all he needed was someone with a Kernel.

> The current proposals as I understand them will subsidize tuition at the current, severely inflated rate, letting the colleges get away with their price gouging

This is great point in my opinion. Solving this issue in the real world is not simple, it comes down more to the political power of various competing factions than it does to coming up with a "big idea". Once you have a "big idea" (like free public college), unless your faction has sufficient political power, then how are you going to implement it?

The problem is not that we are lacking big ideas that will work, there are many of them. The problem is we don't have the political power to implement a single one of them.

Consider this statement from the OP:

"Look no further than this chart (https://i.imgur.com/B3sVMjg.png), around 2010 was when the gov started fully backing and giving the loans directly, and conveniently it's when students needs for loans skyrocketed. It's so obvious that colleges took advantage of it."

Right now the gov't intervene's in public education by "fully backing and giving the loans directly". My position is that not all forms of government intervention are inherently bad, for example, the way the government intervenes in public high school is something we both agree is good.

I believe that the current way the gov't intervenes in college education is deeply problematic, and that instead of completely removing the role of gov't, we should copy the model from high school which has proven to work very well.
thats the billion dollar question! not having the clear answer even in public traded companies is a travesty.
You are probably seriously over estimating the actual power requirements. I have several servers running, some are 5+ year old Xeon towers, and they aren't costing anywhere near that.
Put it back in context:

It's unsustainable. Trump's broader trade policy is protectionist.

The US has become overly reliant on China, add on their Belt and Road Initiative, and we should be taking a more aggressive stance. Trade wont last forever with us and we will not have any industrial infrastructure left. this is trying to protect ourselves.

I find it funny half the US wants higher minimum wages and better standards of living here, but complain when prices go up for cheap stuff from China being made by near slave labor in oppressed conditions. I guess out of sight, out of mind.
