Yup, your understanding is correct. That code behaves equivalently to the synchronous version, and the only benefit is that the thread can run other tasks while it's waiting for the getStuff() and getMoreStuff() to come back.

Async/await is really popular in the JavaScript community because in web apps, you usually only have a single thread of execution which you share with the browser UI code. So if your code made a network request synchronously, the user might not be able to scroll or click links or anything until it finished.

You are totally correct that alcohol consumption results in far more fatalities and injuries than cannabis. A big part of this is how much more prevent alcohol is than cannabis. While around 70% of people report having used alcohol in the last year, only 20% report having used cannabis. However, this is changing as more and more people are using cannabis every year. I think we are going to see a long term trend were cannabis starts to close the gap with alcohol, at least where the drug is legal.

One supposes that this was inevitable, but it seems that the "Amber alert" itself has a bit of a cry-wolf problem. We might imagine a depraved kidnapper every time, but most alerts turn out to be estranged divorced dads who don't take the family court's "no" as final.

No idea at all what you're talking about. The last time a Western non-planned economy had a famine outside of wartime was in 1906 [1].

The closest thing is a "food shortage" in Ireland in 1924-1925.

That is a truly incredible track record for relatively free markets.

Dumb question - does the way the cannabis was consumed affect the accuracy of the device? Does it work as well for edible cannabis as it does for a joint?

I have to say, this is pretty clever. Dealing with Docker image tags for dependencies is a real pain and doesn't make much sense. you get things like `[package semver]-[edition]-[distro][distro version]`.. and this in no way reflects any guarantee that tag has not been rebuilt since the last time you pulled it. which has horrible implications for security patches to the image itself, and so on.

I don't know where the community will land for a solution, but this is a clever method. I hope it builds traction
What do you mean by homogeneity? Do you mean as opposed to heterogeneity such as what is found in the many different cultures, peoples and language across Swiss cantons or German landers, or is it really just "people looking different from one another"?
Things I have learnt after flying a Million Miles
> sorting of the data

Perhaps the main advantage is that it can filter out non-adaptive, non-functional (noisy) mutations this way by simply averaging similar genomes? In that case, the rows of the learned M x N kernels should be nearly identical and one could have simply averaged M data rows at a time and fed it to the 1D CNN.

What other phylogenetic information could possibly be inferred?

Edit: It could also be thought as data augmentation as it effectively creates novel inputs each time. IIRC there was also a technique for hardening against adversarial examples which simply fed the network averaged datapoints along with the original data.
On the one hand I'm happy on the new "switch" and "restore" commands. On the other hand I wonder if they truly add any value other than the semantic distinction of functions otherwise present in "checkout".

I tend to prefer smaller vocabularies tools: less to remember if you know what you are doing.
You don't view the Selma to Montgomery marches, the Orange Revolution, the Vietnam protests, the UK miners' strike, the spontaneous assembly of Germans demanding the Berlin Wall be opened, etc, as having significantly spurred social change?

Just because not every protest is virtuous or successful doesn't mean that protest doesn't have value.

The core product runs the exactly same (thanks to the MSSQL PAL: platform abstraction layer).

A weak currency means more exports but higher import prices. Add the additional tariff coming soon means anything from China will get more expensive. Perhaps this forces Trump to drop them.. it could backfire and create a local industry that will compete against China.

Thanks for the comment.
I bought some light bulbs the other day that had, as a selling point specifically printed on the box, the statement that they are NOT connected to the Internet.

They do turn on and off automatically though.
The problem, as usual, is one of user education. Some users fully comprehend every detail of the consequences of their actions, some users blindly do whatever anyone tells them, or even just flip every switch the opposite way around to see what happens, and there are millions of users at every point on the spectrum between those extremes. It's not practical to ship different browsers tuned for different points on the spectrum, and even if it were, you couldn't guarantee that people would download the browser most appropriate for them, they'd download whatever looked nice at the time.

So you have one browser distribution, with one set of defaults, and on one hand you want educated users to be able to configure things to their liking, while on the other hand you want to prevent uneducated users from screwing themselves over by accident, or because somebody told them to open the secret Developer Console and paste a funny-looking string to see a picture of a bunny.

There aren't really any good answers.
I don’t work at google. Maybe I should also include that disclaimer. Just in case somebody thinks ol’ smudgy is pumping out official google projects.
Thanks, this seems like a perfectly coherent definition of compositional. I think my earlier confusion was a purely terminological matter.

Regarding "What you're saying is that proofs can be composed. That is true, but unhelpful, as it doesn't make proofs easy." I agree that the ability to compose proofs does not make proof easy. But I would push back somewhat against the idea that this is unhelpful.

The ability to prove, in isolation, the relevant properties about some entity (e.g., a function, a hardware module, or what have you), and then to make use of these properties, without ever looking inside the entity again, to prove properties of some larger system, seems to me to be absolutely essential for scaling proofs to large systems.

This ability is of course completely common in tools like interactive proof assistants, but is less common in more automated procedures.
If negative rates hit the U.S., wouldn't that further incentivize the government to issue debt, since investors would be paying the government for the privilege to hold their money?
So a few years back, everything was super fast on IMAP on my phone. But now it just crawls. On the Gmail App it's still pretty fast. So I just assumed it was slow because Google was being a dick and trying to get people to use their app instead of Apple Mail or Outlook. Is the protocol slow, or is Google throttling it?
If an employee is getting paid an average of $64K, they are very likely costing their employer another $36K in taxes, unemployment, worker's comp, 401k matching, insurance, vacation time, etc.

If you run your own business, you have to account for these things and more (accountant, equipment, advertising, etc). Staying under 100K gross seems almost impossible unless you plan on running yourself out of business.
I can't imagine being a farmer. You get almost nothing for what you grow maybe a $100 dollars per ton. But you need to buy a $250,000 (or more) tractor to plant, spray and harvest it - if not multiple tractors (till, plow, spray, harvest).

IPFS would be an interesting experiment too. Mainly I want to try it with Tahoe because of two features: convergent encryption (basically a way of deduplicating encrypted blobs) and capability based security (a way of doing access control at the file/blob level, rather than role-based).
Neat, focusing on containers as a way to replace systems while still doing most things within Nix is a good take over strategy.
This is a great story. Great work.
It's also quite stupid considering how vulnerable climate change his country is. Think how badly major heat waves already effect Australian cities and how close to sea level most of Australia is, especially northern parts of Australia.

From what I read the PM seems to think he is some how immune to the effects and only smaller island nations will be effected, while simultaneously forgetting that he also lives on something which resembles an island, even if it is a big one.

It seems the Australian PM is certainly not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Best survey of the subject I have found (most are bullshit) is Finding Alpha by Eric Falkenstein which he has graciously offered for free on his blog. By the subject I mean, finding an edge in trading. Spoiler alert there is no system to follow. He wrote algos for a local options market maker, had a significant Econ PHD thesis. The basic premise of the book is that real Alpha is rare, idiosyncratic and gets exploited by those in the know and eventually the edge goes away after several years. He gives several classic historic examples which are what made this book so interesting and unique to me.

You'll have to review the rest of the leaked documents to see how algorithmic discrimination methodologies are tied into this. The preceding paragraphs are damning about intent and implication.
Well, IMAP works fine, so it's not the protocol.
If they want it to be taken seriously by the open source community, might as well start with mail clients used by the top contributors to things like the Linux kernel and core open source libraries used in most Linux distros. This is how to help ensure adoption and making it a replacement for IMAP.
> Pretty damn frustrating that Google doesn't have any unpaid inbound support _AT ALL_.

Why didn't you pay?
Correct, if there's nothing else that can be picked up it'll behave essentially the same as the non-async code. But it'll mean that adding other things to be done at a later stage is much much easier than trying to do so without it.
> Tesla didn't just throw all the (affordable?) tech they could into their cars

But they did. Since the late 2016 model S, each tesla comes with 1 radar unit, 8 cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors and a replacable computer system.

At the start, these were not all used, but they have been used for more functions over time.

The model X got the same cameras, and my friend who has one said his car uses the side cameras to prevent the self-opening driver and passenger doors from dinging nearby cars.

They've designed a new faster computer (Hardware 3.0). The folks who paid for full self driving will get one of these swapped in when full self driving features require it.

I think this economic argument is what is going to kill Australia's economy in about 6 - 10 years time.

We are so dead set on maintaining our resource sector, in particular coal, that there seems to be no acknowledge that a crash is coming.

Yes, the price is high right now, which is great as a producer. But at some point there will be an inflection: the high price of coal, vs decreasing renewables and improvements to grids will mean coal plants become less and less untenable.

The price will crash, we'll be left with a massive oversupply of both the resource and the infrastructure. The communities that pushed for coal mines because they provide employment are going to be left with nothing.

In the end, mines like the Adani's Carmichael mine will fail with only a small amount of the resources extracted.

This is a great result for the climate, more coal left in the ground, it's just an ass about way of doing it that's going to wreak havoc with our economy.

I re-did the calculation with a focus on intra-USA dating. For the average city, it increases by 26531%.

1. Open to dating range 25%. That's a guess though.

2. Regarding the 5% instead of 20% attractive, that's already factored due to the 25% open to long distance variable. We want to see how many people are open to dating, not 100% all targeting marriage. Turns out many people use dating apps because they want more fun and friends in their lives:

"just think about it. Factories produce with near zero human muscle costs endless supplies of goods that take care of all our vital needs. With a tiny little effort we could almost entirely automate food production."

You're implying that costs are mostly physical effort and automation is a "tiny effort". That's a really weird thing to say on a forum called Hacker News, and why on earth do you think food production isn't "almost entirely automated"? Any prediction of a sudden change in the rate of a trend needs to explain why the change didn't happen more gradually and sooner, as soon as it was possible.

700,000 records from a chain with 7,000 hotels, per the article. How do you know you're a victim of this breach? Assuming each hotel on average probably has occupancy of at least 100 rooms, it could account for just a single day of reservations across their organization.

In short, it seems too early to assume if you've ever stayed at a hotel you are a victim.
I would refer you to the Putnam study from another comment, which defines homogeneity/heterogeneity in terms of ethnicity.

Certainly ethnicity is a fluid concept. The language, value system, and cultural context of a Texan may differ from that of a Minnesotan. However, I think we can agree that your average Texan or Minnesotan will likely have a greater common understanding if paired together than with your average Swiss or German person.
Technically they could sell all of that to China for animal feed, the meat consumption of China per capita is nearing Europe and has a huge demand of feed. Too bad trade war screwed all of that and now it looks like a lot of food will be wasted.

Your argument has nothing to do with borrowing. The same “choosing winners in the marketplace” argument can be made for government spending money it raised as taxes. Whether the money the government uses to “choose winners” came from taxes raised, or property sold, or fines levied, in the past or in the future, has little to do with the question of whether governments should spend money and “choose winners”.

I really wish we could work out a better way to make no_std easier. I know why io::Error requires std for example, but it makes things difficult.

It would be nice if you could provide your own sys crate so you could even use some of std on an embedded device. If you had say an RTC you could make time related calls work, maybe you'd wire networking to smoltcp etc. Currently you could do that - maybe - but you'd have to modify the Rust standard library.
