That's "magic".

Actually, it's quite terrifying when you remember that stopping a clinical trial early is a great way to create statistical fraud. https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2019/08/08/st... cites an example of a drug whose clinical trial was stopped early due to obviously effective success... only to discover later on that the "obviously effective" was a statistically spurious event, and the drug did not confer any benefits whatsoever.
It would seem to me that issuing frivolous citations to a man who has not actually broken the law is a violation of the general prohibition against unreasonable fines and punishment.
I think of async to mean "When you call me I won't actually do anything right now, I'll just prepare the data structures to help remember what needs to get done, and return those structures to you, which you can then hand over to an event loop (executor) at your leisure". That return type? That's not actually what is getting returned right now when you call the function... that's what the future returned will eventually resolve to. That level of unexpectedness/magic is hard for me to stomach but in this case I'm ok because the feature provided and the ergonomics are so very good.

I think of await to mean "When this code is combined with all the other code that needs to be executed asynchronously on the event loop, this code will not be able to progress until this thing we are waiting on finishes. The event loop can therefore use this hint to schedule things and keep the processors busy."

I think I built up a good understanding of how this kind of a system works with futures 0.1 and tokio. It took some time but it all clicked together for me. But as for async/await as language features I'm satisfied to just let it be magic. I don't care to look under the covers at this point. I know it's similar to how futures worked, and I trust the rust team weaved it together well.
Russia-linked Twitter accounts promoted 'doxxing' over racial tension videos
We currently use Teams and everyone on the team absolutely hates it. I am actively looking at alternatives such as mattermost or slack to get us onto something that doesn't run like complete garbage.

Also, why did this have to be developed using electron? If Teams were a native application, or even written using something on the .NET-side, we would probably have about 20% the complaints we do today. Watching an application that is more-or-less responsible for managing basic text and image data on a continuously-paginated basis occupy nearly a gigabyte of memory is simply intolerable.

Teams makes me want to write a clone just to prove how much better it could be. That is how bad Teams is. It makes me want to spend an entire month's worth of weekends writing a native clone that no one will ever use.
I mean he’s right. The home page is fine too it has a big clear search box. I think he’s just pointing out there’s really no “there” there. The examine site is legit, information packed, easy to navigate and parse, and it’s primary use case is landing via search results so it’s best pages are the ones you see most.

Sidebar: examine is one of two sites I regular use the google site filter for: “site:examine.com (supplement name)”. A good search engine would put it first for basically any supplement.

Totally anecdotal, but I’ve had a great experience with Capital One 360. I never really use the card except for occasional ATM withdrawal but the number was somehow nabbed and a fraudulent charge was processed. Since I have it configured to send me a notification on every transaction, I noticed instantly and froze the card from the mobile app. A 5 minute call to their fraud dept later and the funds were returned to the account pretty much immediately during their investigation (which eventually came back successful) and a new card was sent next-day delivery for no charge.
> The semiconductors in that thing can't possibly be $100,000 in volume. Copper is roughly $10 per kilogram--or $100,000 and you could use 10 metric tonnes--there is no way those things hold 10,000 kg of copper.

I mean... yes, you're right. A better example would be that electric cars can already convert 3-phase to DC (as well as the other way), and the Tesla Model 3 can convert over 200 kW even though it comes with a motor, battery, and an entire car for far less than $100k.

> As for the power, these things are probably more than 90% efficient, so they don't use any more power than the smaller ones (the load they are charging is a fixed size regardless of how fast you charge it). They may use more current, but that's the whole point! These things charge your car faster.

Closer to 95%, most likely. There also theoretically are very few bad chargers (despite exceptions[1]) since most of the cost is in installation, insurance, and weather/tamperproofing.

Web pages that try to prevent the user from navigating away, why?
I think we have all at some point encountered a site that does its best to stop users from navigating away. Typically by sabotaging the back button functionality. Does anyone have insight into why this is done? What does the site gain? Is the decision driven by some kind of metric? Not once has this caused me to actually spend more time there, and only fuels a burning hatred of the organization at having lost my web surfing flow.
> ...it is when that anxiety is affects your daily life, causing you distress, or leads to depression or harm should it be concidered an anxiety disorder.

But what if your lifestyle is the cause of that anxiety / depression? I think that's what the commenter was trying to say.

Imagine working long hours in a job you hate to barely live pay check to pay check, and on top of that you're in a poor relationship. Every minute of every day is worrying about paying your next bill. You have no savings and are in debt. You haven't been on vacation in 15+ years and every time you enter your apartment, it's uncomfortable because you either fight with your partner or you ignore each other, but you stay together because you can't afford to live on your own.

On top of that your diet is garbage because poor nutritional foods are usually cheaper than healthy foods unless you're a master cook, but who has the time or energy for that with the above life style.

The above is pretty common for a lot of people. Maybe not everything happens to everyone at once, but all it takes is to be in a shitty work situation for little pay (very common) and that's enough to train your brain into thinking life is an un-escapable torture chamber.

You'd have to be crazy not to always be on edge and depressed if that was your life day in and day out.

Fortunately I'm not talking from personal experience from all of the above but I do like psychology and a number of respectful psychologists are in agreement that you can get in a very bad mental state from your life style and a lot of people have made drastic mental health improvements by removing the things that cause them daily stress.
I think "externalities" are the tragic part of many systems.

It would be interesting to have a "simcity" or "simearth" that a democratic society could run before making decisions about taxation or climate laws or policy.

It might also be good to implement policies with an expiration date, and update the model as things play out. Then cancel policies that haven't met the promises.

A fair question. Here's some detail:

> Especially the bit about Earhart having a history of overruling Noonan

My reference for that was a documentary on Earhart on TV, sorry don't recall the title. When they crossed the Atlantic and hit Africa, Noonan said turning right to find out where they were, Earhart overruled and turned left, and was wrong. Fortunately, they had enough fuel to correct the mistake. The documentary said their relationship was not as collegial as you characterized it.

The headwind thing came from it, too.

B-17s were Army Air Force, not Navy. The WW2 planes going missing over the Pacific were often B-29s flying great distances over water to attack Japan. They didn't have trouble finding Japan, but finding Iwo Jima on the return wasn't easy.

The bit about how to navigate to a tiny island came from my father. Him being a trained navigator, I think that's fair. Besides, don't you think it makes sense?

The radio issues you can find in the wikipedia article about Earhart. The crash with the overloaded airplane you can find a brief mention of there, too.

> So yes, there's still very much of a mystery as to what happened to them.

Not to me, not to a trained navigator, either. For comparison, when JFK jr disappeared, the first thing my dad said was spacial disorientation, a perennial killer of inexperienced pilots flying into poor visibility conditions. After weeks of investigations and conspiracy theories, the investigators reluctantly made that conclusion, as well. Nobody wanted to believe a mistake that simple could have taken down JFK jr.

> Google would face the exact same criticisms if it tried to strongarm publishers into caring about performance.

You state this as a fact, but Google seems to use, and to have long used, load time as a ranking metric (see https://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors #22, for example), and I've never heard any serious complaints about it.
(i) There are plenty of places where it gets down to "only" -5C or -10C where it would still be practicable; you're giving worse case scenarios but those don't apply everywhere. We can do what we can where we can. (ii) Bring it in your pannier or backpack (buying wrinkle-free helps as well).

I have this old dream of building a great verification / formal methods as a service company with the right mix of axiomatic specifications, data and flow analysis, abstract interpretation, model checking, type systems and theorem proving.

And with time extract project methods into tools and frameworks, and evolve them. A bit like 37signals did by extracting Ruby on Rails from Basecamp.

A source of inspiration is bridge engineering from the mid-to-late 1800s, when things became very rigorous thanks to applied mechanics and structure theory.

Galois and SRI were doing some work in the area, but it has not become as big or central to their business as I would have expected.

I wouldn’t argue that. Other countries have similar issues, but either are politically inclined to ignore them Like many west African nations, or simply power through the issue via the strength of their economy like the European powers.
Well, engin failures are not exactly the rarest of occurrences. It's just that given the context, every stories about Boeing will gain quite a bit of traction. It's probably deserved given how bad the company have messed-up, but let not overreact.

Health care is expensive.

Infrastructure is expensive.

Education is expensive.

What all these things have in common is that they are labor intensive and must be performed with American labor—and well-trained American labor at that. American labor is expensive because we’re a rich country. So it’s absolutely no surprise these things would be expensive, and not much we can do about it.

At least that’s become my theory and it’s so obvious to me that I don’t know why it hasn’t been analyzed that way.
Goldwater, in particular, brought a greater skepticism of expertise to American conservatism, which has come to define it.

"Real" medication is the next step, but, honestly, the thought of having to take something "altering" for the rest of my life is itself anxiety causing.

The most bizarre thing with the whole whole anxiety business was its sudden onset. Everything was fine, and then one day it wasn't.
You're right, yes. It seems search is one of those winner-take-all markets where the data Google has ensures that they'll stay years ahead of everybody else.

With 92% of the global search market (https://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share), that gives them an incredible amount of power and influence over countless business and people. And they've repeatedly shown little regard for casualties of their policies or the Algorithm.

> The problem is that you still need a stack, which prevents coroutines from being lightweight enough.

Async/await also needs the same logical stack, it just captures it frame by frame. Continuations can do the same. But as you say, Rust has some particular constraints that make this hard.

> then just like with a GC, you need to track which registers and which stack offsets contain pointers at a given point in the program

Well, you don't need to track all the pointers, just pointers into the stack.

> ... The nail in the coffin is that Rust also targets WebAssembly ...

But yeah, I mentioned some reasons for why it could be hard for some languages -- internal stack pointers and lack of control over the backend are two of them.

But I find it problematic that backend problems force feature design today. If a language wants to be popular 20 years from now it needs to have the patience not to bend to its backends' limitations, particularly as it has few competitors in its niche. So if a language's designers are absolutely certain that async/await is the right design for them for the next few decades, then that's great, but if they decide they want to design a language for the next few decades based on the limitations of WebAssembly in 2019, then that's something I like less. Sometimes there's no choice and a language/feature has to ship, but this is a feature that the world can and has lived without.
I'm sure they can and do. But it's not an either-or situation. Also, AFAIU, EV certs won't even issue without heightened scrutiny regarding domain name ambiguity.

When SSL first came out there was a heavy focus on informing the public to check for the padlock; that if they were worried about fraud then checking for the padlock was a concrete step they could take to help reassure themselves. But there was never a similar campaign regarding EV certs. There were attempts, but they were short-lived and not nearly as aggressive. Partly that's because the messaging was more difficult, but it could have been done.

Google could have put more effort behind it. But they weren't interested, partly because as someone else mentioned they have their own ideas about how to move forward, ideas that just happen to fit in better with Google's commercial interests. Some of those ideas are reasonable, but again this isn't an either-or situation. They're making it either-or.

Agreed that the book is excellent, and it also surprisingly does not fit into the categories requested by the OP.

I wish the author did a sequel. The book is totally relevant but I can only dream of what a modern version would look like.
Another question you can ask is : How much do you end up re-writing because of errors caused due to negligence?

You could use build agents to automate and review (static analysis) of code upto a considerable extent!
I'm glad somebody mentioned this book, I was just about to reply with it myself. I'd summarize the core premise as anxiety and depression, while some people are more naturally predisposed to them, aren't things that "just happen", and it's not your brain suddenly misfiring for no reason.

Our culture has become increasingly individualized and isolated, in contrast to millions of years of evolutionary selection for tribal behavior in the great apes. Anxiety is a natural response to being separated from your tribe, since it increases your risk exposure to many things. It's not enough to just have colleagues or acquaintances, but people who actually know and care about you and will notice if you're missing or if something is wrong.

A fantastic book. I borrowed it from the library, but I think I'm going to buy my own copy.
> what poetry can do that venv can not do?

Venv doesn't do dependency management, it just provides an isolated python environment. By default, poetry uses venv for environment isolation, but also does dependency management.
> While nobody knows for sure, it is believed that when music began, the most dominant if not the only element was rhythm. No melody, no harmony – just rhythm. At first it may have been random objects, and later drums. This may have been thousands of years ago, but at the time, that was it.

What is the evidence for this theory? People sing in all sorts of societies all around the world. Are there even examples of human societies without singing?

It’s hard for me to imagine some time “thousands of years ago” when there was no singing or other melodic music of any kind, but only drumming on “random objects”.

If there are direct examples of 35,000 year old flutes, https://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/25/science/25flute.html then presumably this “thousands of years ago” referred to is considerably older than that.

> Melody was probably the next element that came into play, mostly through the various religious chants; in most cases with little to no rhythmic or harmonic context.

Chanting and singing are two significantly different forms, and chanting does not necessarily have much if any melodic content. It does not seem to me that one is obviously primary; people continue to do singing and religious chanting side by side in many cultures.

Maybe there’s some better evidence about this somewhere? It would be nice to see something more convincing.
