I respectfully disagree with your disagreement of that disagreement of that disagreement.

>Abstractions have far more roles than reducing cognitive load. You're completely overlooking platform realities, code reuse, usability and other benefits of reduced/managed complexity.

I am not overlooking anything. The traits you bring up in this statement do offer any performance improvements to the system. Therefore the only other possible benefits that these traits offer is that they reduce cognitive overhead.

>From a technical standpoint efficiency of the code is irrelevant if it's bug-ridden due to it's complexity. Code is for humans, not the other way around. We chisel away at lower-level languages if efficiency is required (Ex. C bindings in Python).

Yes. And intelligent people can write more complex code with less abstractions and have less bugs... We agree.

>What I think you're critiquing is the act of adding abstractions when there's no need for one at a given time, just to make something simpler in name of simplicity overlooking it's usability. This can be attributed to the lack of experience.

I am not critiquing anything. I have not said anything about my opinion on where or when to add abstractions. I have only commented on how a very intelligent person would do it. I never said I was intelligent... All I said was more intelligent people tend to write less readable code and this can be attributed to the fact that they have less need for abstractions. So no I am not critiquing about when or where to write abstractions.

>The "classical" IQ applies mostly to dumb pattern matching

IQ tests present questions with patterns that the test taker usually has not seen before. A test taker cannot "dumb pattern match" a pattern he has not seen. Therefore the IQ test cannot be testing for "dumb pattern matching." If the IQ test measures IQ and the IQ test is not measuring for "dumb pattern matching" then by concrete logic IQ must not apply to "dumb pattern matching." QED

IQ must apply to something more. A general intelligence.
I love this project!

It's great to read about design judgment that takes off in terribly useful directions the market can't seem to follow.
But at least YouTube doesn't have videos with controversial opinions thank God.
Always fun to see a demand for developers with >10 years of experience in Golang and TypeScript which exist for <9 and <7 years respectively.
Google+ would never be disruptive to Google. It is in a completely different market from anything else, it wouldn't have to destroy any other Google project to succeed.
"Customer safety is always Apple's top priority, and we have voluntarily decided to replace affected batteries, free of charge."

I know its just a marketing blurb by Apple, but if safety is actually their top priority, they should be contacting all customers directly. How is the end user supposed to even know that their laptop could catch fire?
Except it isn't and it can't.

Doing things in vanilla js just means I end up duplicating a lot of the framework code. Vue really was very simple and minimalist. Just pass it your object and it's reactive and very easy to get started. Fairly unobtrusive as well.
I would just show up at Apple with it. I had gotten a product from them completely replaced long after the 1 year warranty was due lol
Bigger iPhone let them put in a much bigger battery to increase battery life. Not sure the smaller form factor can keep up anymore. Hopefully they drop the resolution significantly to reduce energy consumption?
This post feels like hype marketing or something. They're telling me what I already know/believe about Rust, and it doesn't help that it's a guest post.

They're choosing Rust for an embedded usecase, they could have gone into detail about embedded Rust, and whether they consider the ecosystem to be mature/sufficient for their needs.

If they didn't consider this (seeing that this feels like a decision made over theoretical discussions and previous benchmarks), this could come back to bite them.
You’ve got it backward. It was the law that tried to use corporate personhood to subvert the first amendment. What Citizens United said is that you can’t deny groups of people their first amendment rights just because they’re acting through a corporation.
It's 3.67% of that number - if you were a software engineer making $100,000 / year in the US, it would be like paying a speeding ticket of $3670, which is an order of magnitude greater than most speeding tickets in the US
I'm familiar with the project, and with both F# and OCaml generally. ;) And I'm not saying it's bad or anything, to be clear. I am saying that it's functionally impenetrable to most programmers. To draw an analogy to something less contentious in this crowd, Elixir, even though I quite like it, is doomed to the same fate.

TypeScript is the good-enoughest thing that doesn't surprise, and I think that's enough to put it over the top. (It helps that, in this case, "good enough" is also "very good".)
I've certainly written lots of HTML in HTML, but for Dercuano https://gitlab.com/kragen/dercuano I wrote a static site generator over the weekend in Python. (The Gitlab link is the source; the latest release of Dercuano, built, is at http://canonical.org/~kragen/dercuano-20190610.tar.gz .)

Adding a new note to Dercuano just involves writing a new Markdown file in the markdown directory, so as with HTML, there's no threshold. Actually, there's less of a threshold: with HTML nowadays, I have to add stylesheet links, and meta tags so browsers don't interpret it as ISO-8859-1, and more meta tags so phones display the text at a readable size, and a <script> tag to add the table of contents... with Dercuano, I just start writing text. By default, the title is generated from the filename, or from the <h1> if the Markdown starts with one.

Why not just copy and paste? Well, aside from reducing the download size, sometimes I want to improve something for all the pages at once. Fonts, for example. There's always the risk that that will break some existing page, but I think the grain size where that's the dominant part of the tradeoff is somewhat larger than the million-word size of Dercuano.

I mention this not because I want you to use the Dercuano software (although you're welcome to and it's in the public domain so you're legally protected) but because I want you to know that writing your own is an easy weekend project.

> In any case Gryphon uses Cython to compile itself down to C, which isn't quite as good as writing in native C but is a good chunk of the way there.

Would there be any advantage to asyncio with uvloop (also written in Cython (on libuv like Node) like Pandas)?

IDK how many e.g. signals routines benefit from asyncio yet.
Yes, many studies have shown that productivity is highest in Europe for this reason. America is in the middle, and Japanese productivity is low.
John Deere was hit pretty hard immediately, and continues to be; it doesn't seem to have been a factor preventing other manufacturers who decided to follow in Deere's footsteps on this matter.

> According to this BBC article, the average cost of ECMO treatment in the UK is £45,000 per patient:

That appears to be a figure per course of treatment, not a figure per a day, so it isn't really directly comparable, unless we know the average duration of treatment as well (which is unlikely to be the same between US and UK)
Zone plates work great for radio waves. I don't know why they aren't used more than parabolic dishes, since they're easier to manufacture and mount. Perhaps the gain is smaller for a given diameter?

What comprises the “mind” of a corporation? I would argue that the board and senior officers make up that mind and it’s their failure to demand or instill strong ethics allowed for these crimes to occur.
You increase the fines to the point it becomes a fiduciary requirement to behave properly.

If fines are low, companies will continue to behave poorly because it may be profitable to do so.
Like we do now: you hit it in the pocketbook with massive fines.

Also, the CEO may not go to jail, but the local people actually doing the bribery should.

Being an author of my own HTML/CSS engine I know HTML/CSS very well as anyone can imagine.

BUT! I don't like to write formatted texts in HTML sources - too hard to consume it while writing.

Markdown (a.k.a. poor man WYSIWYG) is not that good either. Still palliative.

So I did html-notepad ( https://html-notepad.com ) - WYSIWYG editor. For myself and my wife primarily.

I am writing stuff for publishing in it and pasting to WordPress and other destinations.

WYSIWYG HTML editing cannot be used for web site creation/design. But for formatted texts, content islands in HTML, it is perfectly adequate.

Yet.

While 90% of formatted text editing tasks can be done in WYSIWYG, there are tasks that are more convenient to do in source form. I use source view in html-notepad with sync of caret position between source and WYSIWYG view - quite handy if you would ask me.
I live in Africa and pay bribes on a weekly and sometimes daily basis. It’s hard to do anything at all without bribes here, and I am certainly sympathetic of it.

People who don’t have experience with 3rd world countriss often think it’s a big deal bribing someone. But it’s not, it’s a simple fact of life. I don’t really see anything wrong with a company doing it either.

In fact, I kind of like paying bribes. Unlike in the US, I don’t really have to worry about doing anything illegal. I can have weed in the car, I can have out of date permits, I can really just do anything I please. I have money, so it’s all good.

Of course, it’s worse if you’re poor. But then again, in America being stopped by the police when you’re poor is probably worse.
That indicates poor zoning to me. If you have mixed market-rate and social housing you should be building them adjacent to each other or (as is often done now) in the same building.
Was it an engineering breakthrough in the sense that people had realized it was a desirable design before, but didn't know how to make it before Fresnel (I assume) figured that out?
It's great to see an officially supported, high quality LSP implementation with plugins for Scala. IntelliJ is great for what it is, but sometimes running it, sbt, and the jvm can be a real resource drain. Being free to use the editor of your choice will be very nice.
We have one of these in our neighborhood and it's quite actively used. There's a Facebook group for it which does cultivate a sense of togetherness. Sometimes people take all the things but it's rare.
There are important distinctions between autologous (getting your Jen marrow back after ablation) and allogeneic (someone else’s cells) transplants.

The harvesting technique is now done using drugs like neupogen to mobilize the marrow stem cells into the blood stream where they can be collected in a process like dialysis. This is instead of having to actually extract marrow from the donor, which truly was barbaric, but I’m not sure if that’s done anymore.

The transplant process requires ablation (destroying the recipients existing cells) which I think can be done with chemo or radiation. It’s ~ a month in isolation to recover and the side effects of the ablation are also no fun but I’m not sure about “most dreaded”? There are probably some variations of the procedure which are much more difficult than others.
I did exactly that. My daily carry is the new Nokia 3310. It was $90. It's fine. I can lose it or drop it and not care. And it's small!

Lechtturm recently moved production to China, with the expected drop in quality.

> But then again everyone uses Shimano components.

Manufacturing of nearly all Shimano components these days is now done in China or Malaysia. Sure, there is Japanese firm overseeing that manufacturing, but modern Shimano is a different beast than those classic Japanese bicycle-component brands like Nitto that are still made in Japan.
It should be noted that the TOTP secret is probably kept in the same database (if not the same table) as the password hashes. I'm surprised we don't see more TOTP secrets in password dumps.
Something, something, 737 Max.

But we are probably all in violent agreement, in that there are already ways to crash an automobile if it is on the highway and an attacker can get close to it.
Because often it's not that hard for the employee to take credit for someone else's results or just fake them. It also creates a poor set of incentives. It causes problems like when programmers are given a bonus for fixing bugs, resulting in them adding bugs to their code and then fixing them.
I'm not sure if the key is like that. In today's age of easy key duplication, you probably have key backups via your relationships and you could go to a key duplication vending machine and get it done for $5 when you go to a grocery store.

I'm quite impressed how in most countries, it's a function of empathy vs. how much hassle it is to return things.

Does anyone know the current status of producing carbon nanotubes at scale? I hear things all the time about new graphene breakthroughs but since there’s not yet a reliable way of producing it at volume, consumers haven’t started benefiting yet
Ah, yes, I just noticed. Wasn't this marked as deprecated in HTML 5.2? Now the Living Standard explicitly notes that <b> isn't necessarily rendered as bold (because it might be overridden by style sheets), by this loosening the connection to typographical appearance.

As for the over-engineered part: I usually try not using spans or similar in markup to separate short terms or phrases, where there's a change in meaning or the level of information, rather using emphasis (<em>) for this. 99% of the time I end up styling this as italics. Because, this is really what typographical emphasis is all about.

P.S.: And I always failed to recognize the crucial difference in meaning of "bold" and "strong". Both in speech and type these are quite the same concept to me, "bold" may be even be a bit more general and specific at the same time. (E.g., "bold" is not shout, but it's about a general concept of raised importance, which isn't clearly expressed by "strong".)

That long list of ways users subvert 2FA guarantees shows this technology isn't yet user-friendly. (In a sense, passwords aren't either, as seen by all the folks who keep theirs on a post-it note).

I'd like to see web developers implementing this also put some effort into ensuring their sites are password manager compatible.

Even more kudos if you adopt a sensibly layered approach, allowing more innocuous functions with a traditional login, then prompt for 2FA the first time more sensitive activity is requested.

Almost every modern reference to "Corporations are now people!" is a callback to Citizens United. If the commenter I replied to is not aware of and was not referring to that, I apologize.

> Holding the CEO liable for employee misdeeds is like holding teachers responsible for teenagers getting into fights or having sex.

This analogy doesn't hold for a lot of reasons, but the most obvious is that teachers don't get to choose their students. CEOs can (and should) fire employees that don't live up to their ethical responsibilities.
So are you just against FCPA cases in general then? I think it's one of the most important laws in the US and its extraterritoriality reduces corruption everywhere in the world.

> 99% of people that got into Vue.js use it because it felt like an anti of the ever changing, dragon chasing JS world.

Can't say I agree. Lots of people became aware of vue/seriously evaluated it around the time of the 1.0/2.0 breakage, myself included. Vue IME has caused more breakage than react has, though I would note that React best/common practices have evolved somewhat more radically; it's just that backwards compat has (mostly) been maintained.

I think a better/more common reason why people use it is that vue does a better job than react of forcing a separation of logic/styling/rendering, which react components have a tendency to intermix eventually.
The US was the first country to make this illegal in 1977, eventually other countries did as well and the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention was eventually established.

The original 1977 law arose in response to investigations in the wake of the Watergate scandal and public outcry over corruption.

Beyond the public perceptions of corruption, there were significant foreign policy impacts. The US gov was actively working against communists in many countries, but those communists were sometimes being funded by bribes from US companies.

When the law was passed, the goal was to push other countries into implementing and enforcing similar laws to reduce any negative impact on US companies.

Well, this is progress.

I wonder how many counterparts to delay slots, stack windows, conditional moves, and other embarrassments we are inadvertently enshrining. There's nothing like hindsight to make you facepalm. (The crypto extension is my bet ATM for most-likely-to-embarrass. But that's without reading it.)

The only way to approach this project sensibly is to assume every single FPGA produced after some near future point will have at least one, and more typically dozens of RISC-V cores scattered around like the multipliers you see in them now, just to try to be competitive.

Personally, I am banking my enthusiasm for when the Bitmanip extension goes in.
This is a conventional view of culpability of corporate officers. It is, however, not the least bit aspirational or innovative. People demanding that CEOs be put in prison are for the most part misunderstanding the legal system, but they are also looking clear-eyed at a system that rewards extra-judicial risk-taking by corporate officers. The fines that come with negligence are typically undersized compared to the deterrent effect that the public expects. (The public also remains unaware at the enormous auditing burden that comes with fines from government agencies).

The solution for corporations and officers to avoid legal consequences is to have standard compliance programs in effect. Failing to account for the inevitable misdeeds of agents is similar to the teacher who leaves his classroom for hours and is surprised to see his students engaged in misconduct.

Can spending $10 get me a tech cofounder?
Thanks for the great feedback. I have no expectations for this other than the learning, and it's already been successful on that front. Just seemed like a fun thing to poke at when most other hobbyists seem to be doing image analysis and language modeling. I've crawled a couple of forums and I get that there are a lot of people out there who think they can readily use these techniques to make money. I doubt very much that this will be the outcome in my case :).

Where I am now I am just trying to figure out how to treat the data, whether to normalize or stationarize and how to encode inputs, etc. The reason that I am working with daily prices is that the fantasy output of this would be a model that can inform a one day grid trading strategy. It may very well be that daily prices won't work for this.
