Does this actually make a diffence, from game-theoretical perspective? It seems to me that if substantial amount of investors start to bias in a certain direction, it will only create an opportunity for active investors to earn money by betting in the other direction, and these active investors will "fix" the "bad" price. Maybe it's not a coincidence those indices perform as well as the rest of the market, as you observed?

These active investors don't even have to realize their strategy is based on going against nice guys -- they might be led purely by statistical performance.

I'm not trying to be needlessly cynical. I like effective altruism for example. I'm just not sure stock market is a good battleground for ethics.

> result of one IO computation

But for many people, they will be used to IO returning nothing, or error values they can ignore. So the case has to be made as to why you need a monad there at all.

(I've just had the slightly disturbing realisation that C++ streams are also monads .. the documentation never uses this term.)
It really depends on how the SSN is used, but using a false SSN is considered fraud.

If the party requesting it is using it for billing and collections, and you fail to pay a bill and they send it to collections, and subsequently report the collection to a credit agency, then it is a clear case of fraud. If you randomly happen to pick a valid SSN, then you are committing identity theft in addition to fraud.

If they are just using it as a Unique ID, they may not ever know that it's fake. None-the-less it is still fraud.

Plus, Apple charges a massive premium over Windows (especially in my local market).

That one was a real downer:

An 11-year-old Pakistani girl drowned while attempting to take a selfie at the Kunhar River, which flows through Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan. The girl's mother jumped into the fast-moving river to save her but she was also swept away and drowned. On seeing both his daughter and wife in trouble the father jumped in; he also drowned. The dead bodies of the mother and her daughter were found; the father's body was missing. The six-year-old son of the family was a witness of the tragedy.

Did the parents impulsively jump? Did maybe the dad think for a second that if he doesn't make it, the 6yo will be an orphan, so it might be better to stay? Maybe the son was even trying to stop his dad, seeing how his sister and mother already stood no chance...

There's no magic in async/await either. It's all just sugar.
Yes, I think the peaceful civil rights leaders we think of today were benefited by the threat/spectre of violence combined with overt actions and communication on their part to declare the violence not part of their plan.
You aren't the only one. In Kotlin, it's possible to use async/await without modifying your function signatures. Like this:

val result = runBlocking {
val one = async { doSomethingUsefulOne() }
val two = async { doSomethingUsefulTwo() }
one.await() + two.await()
}

https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/coroutines/composing-s...

EDIT: actually this was wishful thinking, since both functions would block the main thread. The functions need to be modified to "suspend" for this to be truly async.

My ideal language would be something like Kotlin suspend semantics, except ALL functions were implicitly "suspend" functions. If that's even possible...

Take a look at “Neural Networks: A Systematic Introduction” by Raul Rojas: https://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/rojas/neural/

It’s an older book, but it’s a deep dive into the math and intuition of neural networks. We used it for a grad-level applied math course in neural networks in 2013 (just as deep learning was emerging). It has tons of great visualizations and interesting exercises, is very readable, and is the best price (free).

I recommend reading a chapter or two to see how you like it, it has a bit of a different flavor compared to more modern deep learning books.
If you read this carefully it isn't that these financiers have grown a conscience, it's that public protest and the possibility of government policy changes have made it risky to hold these securities.

These analysts wouldn't have a rigorous analysis that made sense in financial terms without the force of public pressure. These companies are just machines that respond to stimuli and have no thought of consequences.
I think it's interesting that an environmentally focused fund would exclude tobacco and guns, since neither have anything to do with the environment. That seems more like a partisan political statement/motivation than a focus on environment.

I'd go a step further and point out that this fund holds Nestle and Exxon... So it's not really even worried about environmental concerns, it's purely a political statement.

If you’ve never heard of Rajneespuram, definitely check this out (there are other resources if you don’t have time for the long article, I think 99PI did an episode on it): the story meanders into gold Rolls-Royces, international drug and arms smuggling, and bioweapon terrorist attacks.

So you basically you'd have to rely on each of the function signatures, probably with some text editor/IDE by hovering over them, to figure out which one in the pipe list is Async? Or jump to each of them with ctags.

Then wrap it in a try/catch or pattern match the result to handle the various errors different errors...

I am also glad to know that the merge between OpenTracing and OpenCensus is still going well. I started adding telemetry to the projects I maintain in my current job and so far it has been very helpful to detect not only bottlenecks in the operations but also sudden spikes in the network traffic since we depend on so many 3rd-party web API that we have no control over.

We often have to contact them to either investigate these problems because sometimes it seems we are faster to detect them than them, or explicitly fix bugs that we have detected thanks to our integrations. It has been an interesting experience for me specifically because up until a year ago I thought the services provided by the companies we have been integrating were very-VERY reliable, but not, these integrations have opened my eyes to the fragile state of HTTP, AWS networking, and the uncertainty of working with 3rd-party companies.

Thank you OpenCensus team for providing me with the tools to learn more.

It feels to me that the issue is game studios are too large. Indie's don't engage in this behavior and still produce very excellent games without going bankrupt (Factorio, Stardew Valley, Stormworks). Even smaller developers that choose a Free-to-play model with transactional elements (Path of Exile) can do it in a very player friendly way that aligns with game value.

On the other side are companies like Activision and EA that will sell you a $60 game and expect you to spend another $60 in micro-transactions, screaming "more profit" the whole time.

My advice is choose who you support with your money carefully.
It's abouut as rigorously defined as most things in psychology and about as easy to replicate in a lab as most things in psychology. It labels repression of emotions as a bad thing, but you can find a half dozen studies showing people who ignore traumatic events have a faster and healthier recovery than those that don't - and then turn around and find a half dozen studies showing the opposite.

Its main value is as a political tool to try to change people's behavior you disagree with, simply because you don't like it. When it stops being useful, it will be dropped for the next fad.
My bad. I didn't realize you were against all dynamic languages in particular. FWIW I prefer Java and static types as well, but as far as scripting languages go, I think Python is pretty great.
Did the parents impulsively jump?

There is a phenomenon known as the amygdala hijack. It can cause you to jump in a river to save a drowning child before you even consciously know what you are reacting to.

They may not have had time to do any thinking in terms of "But what about my other child? What happens if we both die?" They may have just reacted in the moment, not thinking at all, really.

Ideally, with the rise of work from home, you should not have to be physically next to your job for a lots of office work.

The other aspect if that if people can essentially travel less because of the transportation cost, there should be more hyper local services. So it should create more local jobs.

That being said, assuming it will ever happen, it won't probably be a smooth transition, and there will be winners and losers.

First of all that would be insurance fraud, and it would be illegal.

Secondly, that wouldn't work, the insurance company already knows your SSN. If your insurance is provided through your employer your employer already gave it to your insurance company when they set up your benefits. You need to give your employer your real SSN to pay taxes. If your insurance is provided through the government (medicaid, medicare, tricare) then the government already knows your SSN. You BEST not be giving the government a fake SSN to collect benefits, that's all sorts of illegal.

I don't think Python is a bad language but that quote is a pretty ridiculous response to criticism when the discussion on this article is a far cry from people blaming failures on Python/Python tooling.
You can go a very long way in programming without ever needing to explicitly use a monad for anything. The usual route into needing them is something like Haskell's IO: if you want as much as possible of your code to be stateless and immutable, how do you deal with IO, which inherently changes state external to the program?

If you've learned from the assembly end of programming upwards, it can be very hard to see the need for them at all.
Discussions should get more civil over time, not less.

GP never mentions gender in their post, but in terms of politics, it seems to me that this entire thread is a political conversation. It's certainly not technical -- a technical person would not care about whether someone used the term "monster" or "man", since:

a) it changes literally nothing about the technical details of the attack.

b) everyone understands what both terms are referring to.

The only reason why it makes sense for anybody at all to advocate for switching to "monster" or to advocate against switching to "monster" is because they're interested in the politics behind that switch.

From a technical point of view, if using the word "monster" makes some people happy, then why is it a problem for them to do so? My computer isn't going to stop working because of it ;)

If it makes someone feel more accepted, and it isn't causing any confusion, then I'm all for it.
> maybe it wasn’t stored properly.

Then it has a smaller capacity than a brand new battery should, but still larger than a heavily used battery. It's something the phone can report on, and android phones do. Apple can't guarantee your replacement battery was 'stored properly' either. All they can do is run their little programming tool to remove the warning regardless.

This scenario is completely outside the realm of 'new genuine Apple battery detected + no Apple warning reset = permanently harass the user with false warning'.

Let's be really clear here. The warning is 'unable to verify this iPhone has a genuine Apple battery'. Which is complete bullshit. The phone is perfectly aware that the battery is genuine because it carries a crypto signed identifier.

The Two Generals’ Problem
.. not if you go to an authorized Apple repair center. Unless you live in some wilderness area, there is almost certainly an authorized repair center near you — and those repairs are backed by Apple. Going to some sketchy shop that cannibalizes new phones to sell a replacement battery? That is bizarre. I am starting to understand why Apple has apparent hostility towards unauthorized third party repair. Someone is likely going to go buy one of those “new” phones and think Apple is crap. Meanwhile, the repair shop made money selling you the battery from a new iPhone, then money selling a fake-new iPhone with a garbage battery to someone else.
What's your benchmark for a tourist only country, and what's your benchmark of third world level? A quick google showed me [0]. 10% of your GDP (as in Iceland) is pretty substantial. It actually looks per their stats that the third world level countries are more likely to _not_ rely on tourism.

I don't buy that. The percentage of people who are willing to hike > 2mi should be fairly static between tourists and non-tourists, no?

Path of Exile does have (cosmetic) loot boxes though. They didn't always, but they do now.

Not a problem for me because I just don't buy them, but just not buying them isn't really a solution for people with a gambling problem.

Games like Factorio do show indeed that it's possible to just sell an excellent game for $20-30 and be profitable.

Now, I don't have a source for this, but I heard valve for example stopped making single player-pay upfront games because the a one time profit of $200 million simply isn't worth it compared to, let's just call them 'modern monetization' techniques.
This is so cool man! Glad you know what you value in life, as so many don't.

I left the FAANG I was working for about a month ago on my own terms, it felt weird at the time to start burning through savings to sharpen up on my own work but boy was it worth it. Not to mention the fact that last week my team was cleared out and basically ruined by a legal battle they brought on themselves (it even ended up being covered in WSJ).

Knowing what you value in life is priceless, life is simply too short to be working on things you don't at least find interesting.
