If I am understanding the article correctly, there is no hidden variable implied. Quantum physics claims changes are random, with nothing precise and determinate underneath that causes this.
Think of the example of flipping a coin. It's random, but for each flip if you had exact data for the movement of the coin as it left your hand, you would presumably be able to predict if it would land heads or tails. Quantum physics claims that for events at the quantum level, there is nothing definite underneath that determines what will happen, it is just fundamental randomness. The hidden variable idea is that there is something definite underneath, we just haven't discovered it yet.

What the experiment seems to have found is only that the probability of an event occurring changes smoothly over time from 0 to 1, not that there is some underlying exact cause for what the probability is at a given point in time.
Hi, currently we absolutely do not plan to create a search engine: it requires too much resources for self hosting, I think we currently have great option for all the spectrum (From Google search to DuckDuckGo), and because an open source search engine will be tricked by all kind of nasty SEO Experts and it will be very hard to promote actually good Content.

I dared the Google comparison thinking about it's productivity suit, and because they have an app for all the need of our life. At an extraordinary price, even if it cost noting.

Productivity is the current foundation, but you can think having a Bloom open source tractor in some years :)

The PSP is responsible for memory training and re-enabling after wake-up. So neutralizing might work (given that signatures can be tricked), but you have to be very careful to keep a sizable set of modules alive.
I wonder how this impacts user perception.

Generally I don't think people mind "ads" that are just "ads", but when the content that they choose to see starts to meld with ads I wonder what the perception is? When the ads and content start to merge does the perception of the value of the content / service start to suffer?

I'd start to wonder "What's the point / value of following or any given function here if Instagram doesn't care if I'm following someone or not and is going to show it to me anyway?" Is what little control I have just BS anyway?"

On Facebook I've no confidence my "feed" has much to do with anything I want it to do. It's just there and I kinda hate it / just don't go there much anymore. "Notifications" on Facebook too aren't really notifications about anything I want so I just click to make the little red circle go away...
Interesting point. Maybe instead we should be using self-driving cars with drones (or something ground-based, like RC skateboards) only handling moving packages from the car to the door.
As humans, we've left the regime of biological evolution a couple thousand years ago, ever since we've learned to talk and write. Our entire development now happens a couple orders of magnitude faster.

Sounds similar to a story I was told about Disneyland and how they just paid the fines to the city every time they ran fireworks rather than trying to get permits. No idea how accurate it is but it seems reasonable enough.
Good point, it certainly seems to run cooler.

If your friend lives anywhere that’s not rural, then no, she probably isn’t allowed to shoot it down, nor should she; bullets and buckshot could end up coming down on someone else.

But, if she uses a satellite TV dish to aim the output of a magnetron at that drone, well, that’s another story.

Like Elv13 already said: the form factor is totally different, so it won't work in any desktop enclosure or with a standard power supply.

But apart from that, server boards sometimes don't have a storage controller, no audio, only a few USB2 port. Most have onboard VGA graphics that you can't turn off, or the BIOS won't support outputting video with a different graphics card.

And then there are usually few Windows drivers and you could get into heaps of issues with (the lack of) UEFI if you want to run a desktop version of Windows.

Server boards are custom build for datacenter application and just aren't suitable for workstation use.
But the science really does only supports one side of this issue.
A lot of it depends what's happening to that Xeon machine if you don't buy it. If it's otherwise going to the landfill then you using it a little longer to defer the creation of brand new hardware is absolutely the greener option.

Same logic that applies to driving an older car— it may not be the most efficient, but especially if you're low usage, extending the life of something that already exists is almost certainly greener than using something new.

Yes, you'd hope so - but unfortunately that's not true. We're terrible at pricing externalities (by design, it makes it easier to profit; for example free use of public commons like fjords for farming salmon - creating ecological disasters).

Is it? The asymmetry of function definitions seems really ugly to me:

f(x) = x * x

function(x)
x * x
end

function f(x)
x * x
end

f = x -> x * x

If Julia just used curly brackets instead, we wouldn't need all of these different ways to declare functions.

It really have been nicer if I could just do:

{ x -> x * x }

or for named function:

def f(x) { x * x }
I don't buy this argument any more than I buy the argument that taxation is theft (it isn't) or that traffic lights are oppression (they aren't).

Vaccination, for those who can be vaccinated (not everyone can), is a trade-off for participating in a society free from disease. Taxation is the price you pay for buying a society and traffic controls are a price you pay for access to a ubiquitous and generally safe road network.

All of coexisting with others is a balance of trade-offs; labeling all of those trade-offs as oppression renders the word meaningless, as much as referring to any kind of coercion as violence.

As for how far am I willing to go? Mandatory vaccines are a good trade-off, and I am willing to stand by the position (one which is growing increasingly popular, as preventable diseases are returning in force).

Forcing women to have children? I have never heard, outside fiction, of a society that forces women to give birth; certainly it's been encouraged, lionized even, but you're proposing something from the realm of fiction as a what-if. Not helpful.

It is so odd. I like to be alone, but I like to know that I have a social interaction planned for later in the day, etc, so that I’m not guaranteed to be alone for the WHOLE day. And then once I’m there, I’m eager to get back to being by myself.

Many people have pointed out that to get there you need to have flown in (probably losing money on the deal). Another, probably much smaller factor, is that there’s a non-zero chance that you grabbed the bag of someone bringing contraband in - at which point you’re going through airport security with a choice of saying the bag is yours and being arrested, or saying you stole it and being arrested. There are just much easier ways for a thief to make a living.

Tell that to the owner who was begging DO for their data back on Twitter. Again, had this not blown up on twitter nothing would have been done.

> If the customer had "payment history" none of this would have happened. Probably it was being used under "startup credits"

What's your point in saying this?? The fact is that the customer faced downtime because of a bug in DO's code.

> people shouldn't run entire operation on credits and blame DO in twitter.

Are you saying that customers on credits aren't subject to SLA's?

I think you seem very biased.
"The Stallman lingo" has unfortunately been correct far too many times to call it "not helpful". A spying "feature" built by third parties that ends up with the same end result than one built by first party then it doesn't matter who made it.

Hi, Actually my plan didn't even rely on donation to sustain the project and reach a global scale. you can learn more about the master plan here: https://www.kerkour.fr/blog/bloom-a-free-and-open-source-goo...

1. Build free software and charge for hosting, security of hosted data and enterprise support

2. With this money reduce prices, free the data and the access to scientific knowledge

3. With this money and this community create the open infrastructure to run these software and host this open data

Donation are just a plus, and because I didn't had time to implement payments before launching :) (it's the first day I talk publicly about the project, so I think it's understandable that donation metrics are not so great).

Regarding how much work have been done until today, it's been 6 months I eat pastes :)
Thanks! It was risky quitting to go to school full time but having professional work experience helped a lot to manage myself.

Well, they didn't think of anyone as "white" in a meaningful way. They were primarily concerned with Pan-Germanicism.
> This is true for Hindi and Urdu, esp when you're exposed to both. When you study both the languages theologically and linguistically, the differences become ever more apparent. It is only the mash of Hindi-Urdu called Hindustani [1] (popularized in modern day by Bollywood) that's mutually intelligible to both Hindi and Urdu speakers alike, and only in its spoken form.

You make it sound like everyday Hindi and everyday Urdu are far apart, but I'm not sure if that's true: if you took a Pakistani Urdu speaker and an Indian Hindi speaker, both from the middle class with only a modest amount of education (and therefore limited access to specialized technical vocabulary), both would have no trouble at all talking to each other. Occasionally one might use a word where the other might have preferred a different one (like زبان for the Urdu speaker and भाषा for the Hindi speaker for 'language'), but it's only possible to imagine them struggling if both were attempting to speak in the registers that are only used in exceedingly formal, technical, or literary contexts.

And when you ignore vocabulary, it becomes even more clear: the grammar of even highly Sanskritized Hindi is more or less identical to that of everyday Hindi, and while I'm less sure about what high Urdu is like, I don't think it differs grammatically from everyday Urdu either, with the possible exception of ezafe[1] (which both Hindi and Urdu speakers are perfectly able to comprehend, even if they do not produce it).

edit: this is Colin Masica's take in his book The Indo-Aryan Languages (p.27):

> The ultimate anomaly in the what-is-a-language dilemma in Indo-Aryan is presented by the Hindi-Urdu situation. Counted as different languages in sociocultural Sense B (and officially), Urdu and Modern Standard Hindi are not even different dialects or subdialects in linguistic Sense A. They are different literary styles based on the same linguistically defined subdialect.

> At the colloquial level, and in terms of grammar and core vocabulary, they are virtually identical; there are minor differences in usage and terminology (and customary pronunciation of certain foreign sounds), but these do not necessarily obtrude to the point where anyone can immediately tell whether it is "Hindi" or "Urdu" that is being spoken. At formal and literary levels, however, vocabulary differences begin to loom much larger (Hindi drawing its higher lexicon from Sanskrit, Urdu from Arabic and Persian), to the point where the two styles/languages become mutually unintelligible. To the ordinary non-linguist who thinks, not unreasonably, that languages consist of words, their status as different languages is then commonsensically obvious, as it is from the fact that they are written in quite different scripts (Hindi in Devanagari and Urdu in a modified Perso-Arabic).

Although GitLab is especially egregious in that it pays different rates based on location, I'm not sure that it's practical from a legal perspective to say where you live is none of the companies business. If you're an employee (as opposed to a contractor), the company has certain legal obligations that may change depending on what state or country you call home.
This is patently untrue in some domains that could be life-impacting, particularly in healthcare/medicine where differences in gender matters for treatment.

If a trans-man is given medicine in doses as a man, and not a woman, they have a much higher risk of overdosing because of differences in how the body metabolizes drugs for each gender [0] [1]. It isn't transphobic to identify them as a woman and give them the proper dosage for their gender. I'd prefer to be given the correct amount of medicine than to pretend there aren't important gender differences and that my actual gender and the gender I would prefer to identify and portray myself as differs [2].

Then you get into the mess of trans-women competing (and usually one-sidingly dominating) in women's sports because lo' and behold there are still gender differences between men and women regardless of how they choose to identify.

I'm becoming accustomed to being told how I should think. Must be my internalized transphobia speaking for me though and not that political correctness is going to cost someone their life one day and that that person could be me.

If you define "woman" as "able to bear children" you're also cutting out a lot of cis-women as well. Defining gender based on reproductive ability is just a shitty thing in general, anti-human if you will.
> They've decided that these neo-Nazi videos are causing violence

I’ve decided that your comment causes violence towards people inclined to believe in freedom.

And so does Antifa, BLM, third wave feminists.

When do we start banning them? And are you “ok” with having someone else randomly labelling your speech as something “causing violence”?

No? Then if it’s not ok to do to you, why is it ok to do upon others?
It will not stop, as you have said, they copied and improved. I have said it before, the Chinese are excellent engineers, but they lack in originality. So they NEED the rest of the world to make original stuff they can copy and improve upon this. Again this is not taking away from the fact they have brillant people, it is just what they do.

As for quality, buy something as simple as a geniune arduino and buy a Chinese knockoff. Which is more reliable. I have a ton of knockoffs and i'd say about 50% fail in a few months (plus they arrive with flux coating the bottom, some wont even work until it is cleaned). The few geniune ones i have purchased are still rolling along. I find this with a lot of their cheap knockoffs (yet i still buy them.......).
> heavily accented English instead of The Indian language.

Over the years I have grown to think of English as an honorary Indian language, kind of like the Mother Theresa of Indian languages. Not a mother-tongue perhaps, but definitely, a beloved aunty-tongue at the very least.
I've been full time remote since 2010 in senior management positions. Meaning that I have direct reports, that have direct reports, who have direct reports, and all are remote. Prior to 2010 I spent 20 years working in traditional office settings.

So I've dealt with just about every possible issue that can be encountered in both "normal" and remote environments and I can say that in every case remote is better. One of my employers had mandatory management training quarterly and I worked there for 9 years, so maybe I'm better prepared to manage employees and remote staff than most managers. I find remote staff much easier to manage, because none of the interpersonal issues need to be dealt with, he's parking in my space, someone is stealing my lunch, they don't bathe, they wear too much cologne/perfume, they are always bugging me, it's too loud, it's too quite, so and so is always late, and on and on and on.

I also find the productivity to be much higher mostly because people can get work done on their schedule and not be stuck in 9-5. If something is due Tuesday I don't care if it's done by at 11:30 Monday night, just so long as it's done and done correctly.

I have a separate dedicated office, I have a couch 4 monitors and a TV for monitoring the world, mostly on Bloomberg TV.

The only knock I have on working from home is that that I'm tired of my office and my house. I hate that my lunch room is my kitchen.
The UPS truck that delivers to my block makes a bit more noise then the average car driving down my street, parks, the driver gets out of it, and spends a couple of minutes making >20 deliveries. A human carrying cardboard boxes does not make much noise. Neither does a powered-off truck... And it's not like UPS does domestic deliveries from the back of 20-wheeler rigs.

This is orders of magnitude less noise than 20 drones, coming and going, throughout the day. (Not to mention the ones passing overhead, to deliver to the next block down...)

Oh yeah, back in those, uh, Westmere/Sandy/Ivy/Haswell days. The days when power consumption was given priority over even performance.
Highly agreed on the commute time formula.

Learning to think about time spent on getting ready for work and commuting to and from work as a direct extension of my working hours changed the way I looked at jobs and approach salary negotiation. It's so easy for someone to ignore that cost if they haven't thought about it, and so hard once they have thought about it :)
[sigh]

Reluctantly upvoted :-)
Actually, that's a really good idea.

Funny enough, many years ago I had a very aggressive candidate for a mid-level technical development manager position who was insistent that his newly minted, no computer experience required, MSCE certificate or some such plus his handful of years managing a Pizza Hut qualified him for the job, because "a good manager can manage anything". I disagreed he was right for the job.
It looks like the key takeaways are:

Overall language effects do not appear to be a dominant factor in software quality. Manual memory management is error prone. Functional languages appear to produce better results than OO/imperaive ones. Static typing does not appear to play a measurable role. In fact, Clojure and Erlang were in a category of their own, beating out statically typed counterparts.
Even the TL;DR didn't explain what I was looking at. Please fix before you've burned your one chance at a first impression.
You're exactly right, and maybe I should just be happy that YouTube is going to enforce political views that I mostly agree with, but the whole thing is a bit unsettling and definitely going to have unintended consequences.
Never, ever :)
Surely the one-time emissions in cement required to build a dam that lasts for decades amortizes down to nothing compared with the ongoing outputs associated with coal or gas fired electricity production? (not to mention the upfront emissions associated with constructing those facilities as well...)

Most of those global cement emissions are surely in building sidewalks, highways, bridges, and skyscrapers? Seems weird to blame an otherwise pretty green electricity source for this carbon.

You're building open source products in all markets with no limitations? Assuming you plan to harness the open source community to help out? Serious question: How is this different from GitHub? I can go to https://github.com/search and find alternatives to all your products already built somewhere and open source.
Rust has documentation which describes how it's supposed to behave, which is a far cry from everything being undefined behavior. It also has a formal specification of a subset of the language.

It's not like the C/C++ specs are particularly precise. I think people tend to have a mental model of specs as equivalent to formal semantics, which they very much are not.
can you give me more details?

Maybe 3 points about how to solve the issue you are raising ?

They all do. Here's the Cockroach Labs CLA: https://cla-assistant.io/cockroachdb/cockroach
It is incredibly small if you don't consider either drive failing. But if one drive fails, it happens with some regularity that a sector on the good drive is bad. In actuality, only one sector is bad, but in effect the dead drive means its mirror is also bad.

This comes up on the linux raid list with some frequency whenever there are drive failures with raid56, and the subsequently the raid trips over a single bad sector.

But it's true that lack of scrubbing contributes to this scenario, as well as the terrible combination of consumer drives with very high bad sector recovery times and the Linux SCSI command timer default of 30 seconds. That combination ends up causing a masking of bad sectors that end up not getting repaired, and as a user you may not realize that the link resets are not normal and suggest a bad sector as the cause.
