There is no single sentence right in your comment.

Your comment is so judgmental and racial biased that can only be called racist. In addition you make several race identity assumptions on the authors and food and cultures based on mere prejudices.

By the way white cultures (whatever you imagine here because there is no such thing) also have cephalopod and seafood and roots or fermented foods. And not even just occasional. And even if there weren’t it would still not invalidate the article since in the current age we eat an incredible diverse diet.

I do get that point, but it seems to me that only very advanced programmers are able to work with such languages and systems.

The advantage of a "safety net" has a big fight on his hands against the big disadvantage of "who's going to maintain this shit when that rock-star theorem guy is gone?". Or the theorem guys are very expensive in the first place, so it's cheaper or easier to hire multiple people who have to use unit tests like everybody else.

Man, I hate Elsevier with a passion. As well as being shady, dishonest, shifty, moneygrubbing toerags, they also provide the world's crappiest service.

I have to use their web interface every time I submit a paper to an Elsevier journal. It's like sticking needles into my eyes. It's this bad: in 2019, they still use an image map for their main menu.

A particular pleasure is when they force me to compile my TeX into a PDF. Via a web interface.

Then when I submit they'll "proofread" and "format" my paper, failing to spot existing errors, introducing their own, and outputting an ugly mess, maybe with two columns to make it really unreadable.

And then there's the stuff the article talks about: the huge fees universities pay so that our own work can be "open-access".

I hate them. I hope they go bust. I hope their CEO becomes homeless.

In Russia it was the same. Because the existing infrastructure (i.e. phone lines) was so poor, back in early 2000s people were just connecting the apartment blocks in their communities with ethernet cables.

You could then pay for Internet traffic or enjoy local neighbourhood network resources for free. People would build local websites, chat rooms, message boards, fileshares, gaming. It was pretty good for the time and I was surprised to find that in the UK/US there had not been such a development, perhaps because of better pre-existing infrastructure.
Clearly Elsevier is not playing nice here. But this bit is great: "UC retains perpetual access rights to most Elsevier articles published before 2019." Whoever negotiated that bit for the UC side must be feeling very pleased with themselves.

"The UC Libraries do not endorse the use of Sci-Hub for article access.”30 As the UC Berkeley university librarian said in a published interview, “we are unequivocal: it is our understanding (though we are not attorneys!) that Sci-Hub is in violation of U.S. copyright law. We will not advise nor help anyone to use it"

That is probably the best endorsing non-endorcement I have read. It never says they discourage SciHub and suggests only SciHub is breaking copyright law.
I despise Elsevier and am trying not to publish anything with them. However, what impressed me the most here is the tone of the letter: direct, straight to the point, and clear to read and understand, with no trace of legalese. Every time I read something coming out of some academic office, I always expect a long sequence of bureaucratic sentences.

What if animals by their nature have Buddhist enlightenment and accept suffering as part of their existence? Even if we don't farm them safely or humanely, do they care besides inevitably expressing their suffering?

I’m not who you asked your question to but I’ll put my opinion here for anyone interested:
This website seems to be the place to read to be up to date in the tech and science sphere, which is similar to what I imagine lots of younger doctors and medical students are interested in.
Me personally I love tech and read most articles except for the hardcore programming ones.
A lot of discussion regarding medical science discoveries make it to the front page daily and it’s interesting to see what logically minded highly intelligent people outside medicine make of it.
You’d be surprised a lot of medical colleagues I interact with aren’t the most tech savvy people and aren’t used to rapid iteration like the software engineering folks. That and entrepreneurship isn’t big in clinical practicing medicine so it’s an interesting aspect of life I know little about.

You can get connections suitable for backhaul pretty much anywhere as long as you are within reach, or prepared to pay for, a copper or fibre connection to an exchange. It just costs more.

I'm not up to date on prices.

Backhaul is 'just' another connection but without the same contractual restrictions as you'll usually find on normal subscriber connections.

You'll find it used in at least two different ways: as a synonym of transit to talk about a way for your ISP to connect to any other ISP via the provider they get it from, and as a means of having an access provider forward last mile traffic to one or more central locations.

But in both cases it just suggests that you have agreed with a provider to forward traffic for your users on your behalf.

The text is rather confusing. Why not directly mention that the money is fully donated?

Medical mistakes happen and are very common, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were 250,000 per year.

But "wrong site surgery" is a tiny subset of medical error, and I'd be amazed if that was more than 1000 per year.

Most medical error is in the form of medication error. Medication error is very common, and I'd be surprised if it was as low as 250,000 per year. I'd guess that number was the number of people harmed by a medication error.

These errors are serious and we need to work to stop them, but we also need to put them into context. There are over 800 million physician office visits in the US per year. There are over 140 million ED visits per year.

Well... ethics in the wild definitely does vary wildly by time, place and person. But, ethics in the wild usually gets applied to everyone too. When we think sexist legislation (say, women can't vote) is wrong, we usually think it's wrong for everyone and that the people/places that do it should stop.

Pluralism is unstoppable, but so is our instinct to create/defend/assemble a common ethic.
The reason why the death of the author was chosen is because it's convenient. People write their names on their books and their families declare their deaths when they die. The problems start with how long copyright lasts the older you get. If you write a book with 20 then you probably don't care what happens after your death but when you write it in your 70s the copyright will last a much shorter duration.

The easy hack is obviously to add the average human lifespan on top of the date of death.

In reality every copyrighted work should be dated and then each work can expire individually after a reasonable number of years, lets say 14 years with periodic renewals (in exchange for money).
> Capitalism describes a social organization where some people (the capitalists) own the means of production whereas most people are working for them.

This is not accurate. Capitalism describes a system where people are free to own means of production. A hypothetical system where everyone owns some means of production, would still be capitalism.
In short to give a confidence in correctness of a program that often exceeds that of other techniques (such as testing). More specifically, from the viewpoint of a programmer there's three general ways that a language like this is useful. I'll use examples from this general class of languages (theorem provers) since Arend is still in its infant stages.

1. As a formalized specification language that allows you to engage in a dialog with the computer about what properties are entailed by such a specification. For example there is a team at Amazon that makes use of the language TLA+ to formally specify some AWS systems and use the computer to derive and check insights about those systems. This focus solely on the specification and ignores the code implementing the specification (this can still be extremely useful). This can also be used to verify the correctness of various CS algorithms.

2. As a language that can be used to check an implementation for conformance against a formal specification to provide a high degree of assurance they match. Examples of this include Isabelle for the microkernel seL4 (a recent post on HN) and Coq for the CompCert certified C compiler (apparently used by Airbus in some capacity and some other safety-critical industries).

3. As a language that can be directly used to generate code (or is in fact compiled/interpreted directly) and prove interesting properties about said code. There's a light version of languages like this in the form of languages like SPARK or analyzers on top of SystemVerilog Assertions, but these bear only a passing resemblance to something like Arend. They are, however, in use by essentially every big chip manufacturer and are widely used again in safety-critical industries. There are languages closer to Arend that try to accomplish something similar, such as again Coq and Isabelle (which allow for extraction of a runnable program in addition to being provers), but I'm not aware of high-profile usages of those.

As far as I'm aware currently Arend is capable of doing the first. I'm not sure if it can do the second. I see no indication it can do the third. Crucially all this can be added later, potentially with little to no modification of the language.

The third use case means in theory these languages (Coq, Isabelle, Arend, etc.) could be used to write ordinary programs. In practice few people do because it's very time-consuming, the tooling is subpar, and there isn't much of a community doing this.

Arend is exciting to me because JetBrains could make a huge dent in the problems of tooling and community (see Kotlin). However, it's unlikely that even if JetBrains gave this its full support suddenly we'd have people writing ordinary web services with Arend. But it might just make other projects with high but not critical safety requirements (e.g. stuff like Kubernetes, Kafka, or at least small modules thereof) plausible to either verify or write directly with Arend.
This narrative is very unpersuasive, since the actual mechanics that are used to perform calculations in special relativity and the idea that they should apply to all matter were developed by Lorentz and Poincare starting in the 1890s. The moving clock idea was also introduced by them before Einstein in 1900 and 1904.

The most persuasive narrative to me for why Einstein is credited is because he moved to the USA at the right time and introduced these ideas to American scientists at the time when the USA was starting to become more scientifically prominent than Europe. Of course they would associate those ideas with Einstein and credit him, he would be the citation they would know about and wouldn't have any reason to cite further work since his citations are self contained enough for their purposes. It isn't nefarious, it isn't meritocratic: it is just pragmatic.

A relative once had to send an invoice to several people.

He got he invoice by email, printed it, scanned it, and then attached the thing in a new email.

The weird part is that he's been using computers for years, even before the Internet. I can't imagine the trouble he had finding out how to scan, where to find the file and how to attach it.

Actually he still doesn't understand the difference between email and a browser.

Here is pass by reference and pass by pointer in Pascal.

type

Point = record
x, y : integer
end;

procedure ByPointer(p : ^Point);
begin
p^.x := 12
end;

procedure ByReference(var p : Point);
begin
p.x := 12;
p.y := 33
end;

procedure example
var
p : Point
begin
p.x := 23;
p.y := 28;
WriteLn('The point is ', p.x, ' ', p.y);

ByPointer(@p)
WriteLn('The point is ', p.x, ' ', p.y);

p.x := 23;
p.y := 28;
WriteLn('The point is ', p.x, ' ', p.y);

ByReference(p)
WriteLn('The point is ', p.x, ' ', p.y);
end;

Actually the concept is already exposed in Algol, a couple of years before C was even an idea.
Irrespective if this question has any ulterior motives the answer is yes, definitely. It goes both ways, if you upset someone important there goes your chances in that speciality of medicine. On the flip side if your buddies with the important guys they can basically secure you a spot on a coveted program for instance. Medicine and it’s specialities are competitive to get into and there’s obviously way more demand than supply. So authority figures can pick and chose whom they want and also bad word spreads rapidly and you can be effectively blacklisted for messing with the wrong person.
I’ve seen it a lot in my very young medical career. There’s some parts where it’s more of a factor and other parts where it’s less. I find it a fascinating topic actually but it’s one of those things that varies depending on many factors a big one being location/country.

> In the case of an octopus, the conversion rate is about 3:1

(Yawn) and this is a terrific, good, not bad, conversion rate. Better than rabbit, broilers, pork and much better than "holy herbivorous cattle" beef. And the same food gave to a human would have a conversion rate of 10:0, because the stuff would never be approved as human-grade food.

But can be still feed to another animal and used to make excellent food. Octopus is a high quality human food, healthy and more expensive than the tasteless Tilapia or swimming-in-poo-nd carp for a reason. Iron scraps are cheaper than titanium also.

Maybe the problem could be that some people dislike octopus by "put random reason here" (religion, virtue signaling, fear to slimy creatures, not included in tyrolean tradition or classified as alien life form in Nuevo Mexico?...) and lobby to discourage its use as human food.

This people (at least many of them) are hypocritical. Most wouldn't have any problem saying that whereas munching their fried broiler chicken wings, made of young birds 100 days old. Most wouldn't have any ethical problem with the idea of killing and eating a delicious and pray-safe 20 days old lamb.

... but to eat a 3Yo adult octopus in the end of its life cycle (that will die by natural processes in a few months in any case)... this is unethical?. Nonsense

These are funny, but I do want to make a meta point that I take extra care to not make fun of or otherwise belittle anyone who is extremely non-tech-savvy.

Much of North Africa is considered part of the Arab world today, as it often refers to places where a dialect of Arabic is spoken and the culture has been affected in parallel. This is a key difference as Persian isn't even considered to be in the same language family as Arabic, unlike the dialects of Arabic that are predominant in the region approximately spanning Morocco to Egypt.

Edit: it is hard-enough as is for people who deal with abuse to openly talk about it. It would be good to give people the benefit of the doubt rather than accuse them of doing something wrong. Reality is not like that though, and many people living with ill will or abuse are often seen as "must have done something" to be experiencing that.

It's also a heartbreaking read to be honest. Check out this quote on why they spread their 3d printers around multiple locations; "There are two reasons we do this. One is that we want to promote the culture. The other is that we’re going to get bombed at some point. When that happens, if we are the only place that has all the 3D-printing knowledge or equipment, then we’re going to set back the entire movement by two or three years. The more we hoard the knowledge or hoard the equipment, the worse it will be. As it is, when our offices eventually do get bombed, we’ll probably only be set back a year. If somebody dies, obviously it will be even worse. "

Elsevier essentially does nothing but funnel money from researchers to rent seekers. They add just about zero to science, indeed everything they done - which includes absolutely ruining good programs like Mendeley - has directly worked against scientific progress.
