Thanks for posting this, I am going to ask my boss to order "Designing Data Intensive Applications" now!
Maybe Steve Jobs' greatest accomplishment was getting titans like Jony Ive and Steve Forstall, who could each run their own successful design and/or tech companies, to put aside ego and work together under one roof.
My brain threw an exception when I read this title. Awesome that this is a reality though. Now that we have a Linux kernels running and accessible on both Windows and Chromebooks I feel like we can finally say: 2019 actually is the year of Linux on the desktop. It's not a meme anymore, it's finally just a true statement.

Edit: To those questioning if this really counts as Linux on the Desktop. Yes, I understand what you're saying, I too am a bit of a blowhard about Linux and prefer to use the real deal, not some kernel on a kernel bs. But I think this is still a huge deal in terms of the accessibility of Linux, think of how many young programmers will be able to dip their toes in the Linux pool on their gaming rigs without having to go through an Ubuntu install process (I write, thinking in the back of my mind that I had to go through that, and so maybe they should too.) Yes there is something of an ideological compromise here, because the Linux they're running is sitting on a binary blob and not truly free... but Linux still exists in it's gloriously free form for them to use when they decide that's important to them, I see no harm in them reaping some of the other benefits of Linux without the freedom, it will hopefully become an on ramp to more Linux adopters and programmers.
It's true but do evolutionary strategies matter anymore? We are at most 2 generations away from complete DNA design, and i m even sure that many people will be digging graves for more "exotic" sources.
actual compiler enforced error handling like Rust

Or Java?

Compare (again) with Rust, or with languages with proper immutable data structures like Scala and Java

To paraphrase you from earlier: As far as I know, race conditions happen and leak out into production with Scala and Java.

The lesson of golang, and really the lesson of programming in the large for the past 30 years, is that it's not enough to have mathematical or methodological power in guaranteeing correctness in a program. If that were the case, formal methods would have won decades ago, and we'd all be using such environments. It's not about having the most rigorous widget. It's getting programmers to do the right thing, month after month, year after year, in large numbers, across different management teams. Arguing the strength of constructs within programming languages is just an idle meta-anatomic measurement exercise.

That said, I like lots of things about Java, Scala, and Rust. I just happen to really like golang for a different set of reasons. Golang is concurrency+programming-in-the-large-human-factors "Blub," in a way that refutes PG's essay about Blub.
Probably a dumb question, but how does the nuclear source work? Nuclear powerplants work by heating steam to turn a turbine. This drone won't have heavy water reservoirs so how does it convert the fission heat into electricity? Stirling engine?
You have it backwards.

Older CPUs generally are a better deal because they have seen a few iterations of price decreases. A 1800x costs $200, a 2700X costs $260. Both have the same core count. Most likely the latest 8 core will cost more than $300.
I was born out of wedlock to a mom that was single by the time I was born, and have never met the biological father. She wrote a little picture book explaining what a biological father is, how it's different than my "Dad" (she had since married someone unrelated), and there was even a little photograph of him in there. And lots of stuff about how her and my dad love me a ton and how it's not a big deal.

So I grew up with the knowledge since basically the day I was sentient, and therefore it as much a part of my life as my fingers and toes. I almost never think about it. Last time I did was in the doc's office when she was asking about family history, and I had to remind myself that my dad's family history doesn't count.

So you have one vote over here from telling the kid from day 1, possibly in a format that they can come back to and explore / show to other kids when they ask (i.e. the picture book I got)

I appreciate your civility.

My advice to you is to avoid bureaucratic/academic language that is nearly devoid of meaning. For example, "there [are] often aspects of human capital that can only be seen on the level of organization and not the individual" and "it has the potential to reduce oversight by leveraging a variety of perspectives."
Dreher is an (ineffective) algorithm oligarch types have latched onto to try to bring right wing christians under social control. As far as I can tell, Dreher's career consists of being a consumerist hipster (muh microbrews, muh foodie whaddevers) and pretending to be a right wing christian. He's not actually any more Christian or right wing than any other hipster type, and is certainly not conservative at all, despite the outlet he writes for. His psychological furniture is precisely that of a hipster atheist; just a particularly chicken chested one with certain prejudices he finds convenient to excuse with religion. He's changed religions ... I think 3-4 times now, for what amounts to hipster "not cool enough" reasons. Actually religious people in America such as your protestant friends think completely differently. I mean; actually religious people die for religious conviction; Dreher changes religion like a preppie changes ties that go out of fashion. There is no fear of God's wrath in Dreher, no wonder at the mystery of life and the universe; he just thinks gay people are icky, and modernity is kind of groace. His Benedict book is preposterously shallow; it is abundantly obvious he's barely skimmed the history of Christianity, even Benedict's rule: his book is basically a glorified 23 year old hipster's blog post. If you really want to understand protestantism; study the 30 year's war and the paintings of Cranach. Or the Taliban. At least they actually believe in God.

Source: I'm not particularly religious, but I know Dreher, and was at one point considered a thinker in this domain.
Temporary. The bigger hit will be to the US's semiconductor and supercomputer industry in the long run.

It all comes down to the perennial "buy" or "build" budget problem. It's more cost effective to buy "built" rather than have to spend a fortune on planning and building an industry from scratch. But if that's what's forced upon you, then you never need to "buy" again.
What has Microsoft extinguished lately?
>In their separate interviews with the FT this week, Mr Cook and Sir Jonathan insisted that no single person at Apple decides which innovations graduate from its R&D labs and which are sent back to the drawing board. “The company runs very much horizontally,” said Mr Cook. “The reason it’s probably not so clear about who [sets product strategy] is that the most important decisions, there are several people involved in it, by the nature of how we operate.”

This would certainly explain Apple’s apparent lack of direction in recent years. Between this, their recent refocusing on “services”, and the clusterfuck of ports, dongles, and redesigns on new products, I am fearful for the future of Apple hardware.
This is a topic about Microsoft not Google: Mail, Amp, Android (Linux), Google Talk / Hangouts (XMPP), Chrome (websites by Google and external parties that only work on Chrome), and I am probably missing other cases where standard tech has been extended into ways that only Google can support.

RTGs are heavy; I suppose this means that it'll park itself for a long time to charge its batteries and then do a quick flight and repeat. Which sounds like it could work pretty well for this use case.

On the other hand, a hot-air balloon kept aloft by excess heat from radioactive metal might be a more attractive option if we were selecting proposals based on awesomeness.
This is true, but the vast majority does (if you use EPEL and RPM Fusion). I've also had pretty good luck using Fedora rpms from the same era. Gotta stay on top of CVEs tho so you don't end up running a vulnerable application.

You can learn to code like it's 1980s!
"In offices across from Seattle’s Boeing Field, recent college graduates employed by the Indian software developer HCL Technologies Ltd. occupied several rows of desks, said Mark Rabin, a former Boeing software engineer who worked in a flight-test group that supported the Max.

The coders from HCL were typically designing to specifications set by Boeing. Still, “it was controversial because it was far less efficient than Boeing engineers just writing the code,” Rabin said. Frequently, he recalled, “it took many rounds going back and forth because the code was not done correctly.”

Boeing’s cultivation of Indian companies appeared to pay other dividends. In recent years, it has won several orders for Indian military and commercial aircraft, such as a $22 billion one in January 2017 to supply SpiceJet Ltd. That order included 100 737-Max 8 jets and represented Boeing’s largest order ever from an Indian airline, a coup in a country dominated by Airbus."
That's true. But post-holocaust, the term came to mean the holocaust camps. Growing up, I never heard it used any other way. For example I never heard the camps in which the US and Canada put their Japanese citizens in WWII called concentration camps, though in the original sense they were. Rather they were called internment camps, because by then "concentration camp" had come to be associated with the holocaust. So there's a semantic sleight of hand in people reviving the term for political use now. They're taking advantage of the extreme associations it now has, while protesting that they don't mean it that way.
I recall reading mold has a redundant set of DNA. For a mutation to happen, both sets need to have the same damage/radiation/etc happen at the same time. It's believed to be the reason why molds evolve so slowly and why they are so resilient to radiation damage.
I wish Microsoft would release their own linux-based OS with a compatibility layer to let me run Windows apps. I'm not overly impressed with the direction Apple is going but I really enjoy a *nix-native environment too much to go back to vanilla Windows. It would change the math a lot for me if it was full-blown linux under the hood.

FWIW, as someone who found out by surprise that I was a sperm-donor child (and that I have at least one half-sister who was equally surprised by the knowledge of an unexpected half-brother) I find the expressions of the people in the photographs extremely relatable. It's pretty much the exact expression I had on my face when I first found out, which is essentially a combination of "wow this explains a lot of things" + "what the fuck" + a constant background oscillation of "but this changes nothing/everything/nothing/everything/nothing/everything". I'm in my mid-40's, so it's not a generational thing.

Renaissance: Benchmarking Suite for Parallel Applications on the JVM
Aha, the joy of seeing The Greek Anthology here on a Friday! I don't have a copy of that (because Loeb books are expensive, even used, but full text is here: https://archive.org/stream/greekanthology01newyuoft/greekant...) but for our Ancient Greek II class they had us buy A Hellenistic Anthology (https://www.amazon.com/Hellenistic-Anthology-Cambridge-Greek...), which is an abridged version with a ton (2/3 of the book) of commentary to help you along.

Although this book has 12 pages of selected epigrams, if you are like me, after some years the only one that stays in memory will be a dialogue (number 31), between a prostitute a a prospective client, using natural, everyday speech. This surely must be the earliest such written transaction.

I think for medical reasons alone children deserve to know where there genes come from.

Neural networks add computational depth. So I would disagree with the statement that AI is just "stats rebranded". That's about as useful an analogy as saying that statistics in practice is just applied linear algebra.
I'm not the person you were asking, but I agree that keeping this a secret seems like a mistake. Between the increasing popularity of genetics & ancestry services and the increase in health & fitness tracking, it seems extremely likely that your child would eventually find out that they aren't related to your side of the family and/or have half siblings out there.

The lie seems potentially much more damaging to your relationship than the fact that you are a loving father to a deeply wanted child who does not share your blood.
Would this be a bug in the Night Shift feature, or something more fundamental, i.e. something in Apple's Foundation library?

They also produced lots of military goods for Russia. Thus it was no good idea trying to bring them into EU and as second step into NATO. They could have been a perfect neutral state serving both sides. But every side wanted their own oligarch.
Windows Subsystem for Linux is really close to that though. If you have not tried it yet you can download a Windows VM for developers from Microsoft that includes WSL and other dev goodies. Its mostly for evaluation but good enough to get started with.

Edit:

But does he really have a point about the Mac Pro, though? "This computer is ridiculously priced for my use case" != "this computer is ridiculously priced for the use case it was intended." The 2019 Mac Pro is going after the workstation market that SGI in particular was in a quarter-century ago, whose "entry-level" machines started at $10K.

I get why people are salty about the 2019 Mac Pro not being the Mac Pro they wanted. It's not the Mac Pro I wanted -- it's not the Mac Pro I owned, although back then it was called the PowerMac G5. But the PowerMac and original tower Mac Pros were always a bit of an anomaly in the Mac timeline, anyway; most of their flagships trended toward "holy hand grenades that's expensive" rather than "that's a little expensive but I bet I could swing it." The Macintosh IIfx started at $9000 in 1990; it was replaced by Apple's first tower, a Quadra 900, for a mere $7200 a year later, this at a time when an average PC was under $2K.

If someone wanted to make a serious critique of Apple's pricing, they'd be far better off starting with "look at how expensive their most expensive stuff is," it'd be "look at how expensive their least expensive stuff is." You could certainly build that case for Macs, where the cheapest option is $799 and the cheapest (modern) notebook is $1199.
Yep. And there also small regions that observe daylights savings WITHIN regions that don’t observe daylight savings WITHIn regions that do observe it. For example, in Indiana it is on a per county basis[1].

Just thinking out look because that is just very improbable. But effort wise, implementing the win32 layer over linux is a harder thing than what they did with wsl1, surely right? But at the same, their wsl team was like what, a few guys? 10, 20? But the linux kernel source is opened maybe that's the difference.
Jordan’s diary was an enormous inspiration to me when I first read it, I don’t know, close to 6 years ago now?

On the new Twitter PWA, you can just switch from "Home" to "Latest Tweets", though it has a habit of automatically switching back once in a while. Also, they use React with obfuscated class names that change whenever they update the site so customizing the appearance (e.g. hiding the like button) is pretty hard to do.

I understand your argument and it is coherent, but it isn't persuasive. Yes, you can treat lack of error handling as a clear sign of deferral. In practice, that is not how people treat a lack of error handling.

I agree that "try" is better than the status quo, not because the if statements are lulling, but because they have the effect of triple-spacing Go code and making it harder to read.

> Yes, and you go through quite a lot of effort to achieve that, given your other comment.

That's true. However, it's mostly one-time effort. There are Linux and TrueOS workspace VMs, pfSense VMs as VPN gateways, and Whonix gateway and workspace VMs. All in VirtualBox.

There's ~no configuration required for the Whonix VMs. You just need to point the gateway VM to the pfSense VM that ends the desired nested VPN chain. And if there are multiple Whonix instances, rename the internal network that the gateway and workspace VMs share.

For the Linux and TrueOS workspace VMs, it's just like any OS install. You do have more machines to maintain, but mainly that's just keeping packages up to date. All of the devices are virtual, so you don't have driver issues.

Setting up the pfSense VMs is the hardest part. But once that's done, you can use them for years. pfSense is pretty good about preserving setup for OS upgrades. And there's a webGUI for changing VPN servers. But it's harder than using a custom VPN client.

So yeah, it's not so easy. However, someone could write an app that papered over most of the ugly parts. That even automated VM setup and management.
I can't speak about benzoic acid, but the article notes that propionic acid is the most common compound produced by bacteria unique to the gut microbiomes of ASD children:

>Previous studies have demonstrated increased levels of PPA, a short chain fatty acid (SCFA), in the feces of children with ASD; we also know that the gut microbiome in these children is also quite distinct in terms of the type of bacteria that inhabit their intestines.

>Clostridia, Bacteriodetes, and Desulfovibrio bacteria are unique to patients with ASD. What’s interesting is that these bacteria are also known to be fermenters of carbohydrates that produce PPA, and other SCFAs as well. Ironically, while PPA is the most common compound produced by bacteria in ASD patients, it is also widely used in the food industry as a preservative due to its ability to inhibit grown of fungi (mold).

So following up I found an article on the etiological history of the PPA link [0]. From that article, there was a 2008 study of PPA injections in rats (spoiler, observed to cause ASD-like symptoms)[1], and a case study in 2012 of an ASD child with propionic acidemia, a rare metabolic condition that affects PPA metabolism [2], which led to more recent studies establishing a connection between behavioral disruptions and propionic acidemia, even in children who did not meet the diagnostic criteria for ASD [3].

ASD can also exhibit GI tract issues like constipation and IBS as symptoms, which would have supported some kind of gut microbiome hypothesis. Regarding what you're saying about how common PPA is, one research group speculates a "two-hit" mechanism behind ASD:

>Al-Owain’s group suggests that PA may thus act as one of the drivers of developing ASD under the two-hit model of ASD pathology, which posits that two separate factors must be present before ASD is developed. Under this model, one problem—such as PA in isolation—is insufficient to cause ASD, but when paired with another problem—such as another metabolic disorder affecting the gut-brain axis, like biotinidase deficiency—the combined detrimental effects of the two pathologies can cause ASD.
