Dunno, everyone is talking about RVs and stuff but in my social group glamping is just when our campsite is no more than a short hike from wherever the cars are parked, so we can bring the grills and coolers and whatever weirdo light fixtures we want. We still just sleep in whatever we do when we're backpacking.
I think both are very production worthy as far as reliable code running in production.

Check out the success stories on the Clojure site. One of the biggest ones to me is Walmart using it for Black Friday e-commerce. That is a good indicator to me. They've had good success stories with F# as well, but C# uses F# as a research language and the best bits are kind of bolted back onto C#. It keeps C# as less painful than Java, so less devs make the jump. Honestly, the future for both languages isn't 100% secure. I just wish both languages got more love.

I'm in the same boat as you. Clojure seems to really be meant for someone who already has a few years of Java experience. There are plenty of examples where someone dips into Java and I'm totally lost.

One of the most important points that is missed about 5g is what 4G did for us. It's pretty clear that the widespread adoption of faster mobile technologies has enabled technology companies like Facebook, Google, Youtube, Netflix etc to thrive. Investment in infrastructure has unforseen benefits that only seem obvious in hindsight.

What will 5G bring us? Who knows. But if the past is any indication, it will benefit American companies if we invest in it. If not, all of that growth will go to China instead.
The Angular CLI has support for both code splitting and live reload out of the box. ng build creates the main bundle plus the lazy-loaded bundles, and ng serve spins up a development server with live reload ready to go.

The Angular CLI also supports multiple applications with shared components. You can build a web application that uses shared components, and a separate mobile application that uses the same shared components and has its own separate build.

The React and Vue ecosystems are going in the same direction with their CLIs, but I don't think the Vue CLI or create-react-app are quite as powerful yet.

Once they are, it will be the end of tooling fatigue, and no one will have to create their own custom build anymore (other than a shell script or so).
From the article: "As an extra bonus, the generated proofs tend to be shorter than the ground truth proofs collected in CoqGym."

This feels a little misleading, the paper itself says that the phenomena "... suggests that theorems with longer proofs are much more challenging for the model." It'd be more interesting to see how the automated theorem proving length compares to the manual length for the same proofs (although I'd expect this to be biased downwards, for the same reason).
It's pretty clear that the widespread adoption of faster mobile technologies has enabled technology companies like Facebook, Google, Youtube, Netflix etc to thrive. Investment in infrastructure has unforseen benefits that only seem obvious in hindsight. America basically "owned" the 4G world and reaped the benefits.

Not doing this for 5G will basically just hand hundreds of billions of dollars in jobs and growth to China.
> The design of small programs is isomorphic to the design of large programs at all levels

Good software design is not scale invariant. Significant scale deltas change things in fundamental ways. Designs that work and are maintainable, from a human perspective, at one scale often will fail at a larger scale.

Some designs scale better than others, this is true. But no design scales infinitely, and the vast majority of designs would start performing poorly at scales that are still relevant to human concerns

This shouldn't be surprising. Most things (nearly everything?) that we care about are not scale invariant.
You might want to look at the reports of women being raped who are unable to get justice because it happened at sea.
That's not true though. It's not like the people who currently spend lots of time watching niche videos on YouTube (myself included) would start ordering flash memory with those videos instead if only it wasn't for copyright. The case for movies is a bit stronger, but my family's movie/TV show routine is to figure out what we want to watch last minute, then find that on netflix or crunchyroll or piracy sites and then stream it.

I also think the current copyright system is insane, but streaming genuinely is more convenient than buying physical media. If anything, DRM makes media available through streaming _less_ convenient.
Being gay is a life choice now?

That’s what I mean when I say denying one’s existence. There is clear intent behind those words. I didn’t pick them arbitrarily. That’s a necessary condition for tolerance to become abhorrent.

You are either attacking some weird fantasy or you honestly believe that being gay† is a life choice.

—

† This obviously includes everything heterosexual people are able to do with no one blinking an eye, like mentioning their partner in casual conversations, bringing their partner to work events when partners are allowed to attend, etc. That just logically follows. Obviously how openly you talk about your romantic partner to someone else is definitely a life choice – I’m just saying that it logically follows from being gay not being a life choice that gay people have to be tolerated to talk about their romantic partners as openly as heterosexual people. Or else there wouldn’t be equality at all.
Awesome, after a couple of easy mods it compiled on my syste.

Thanks!
Neither of those are the option I described.
What I find interesting about this anecdote is that if you give DDD proponents the benefit of charitable interpretation, they may genuinely have had your exact same journey in reverse.

Maybe there is an inversion of the duckling imprinting phenomenon in software, where everyone hates the first terrible architecture they write, and when they finally get it right through lessons learned, preach that as The Way.
Thanks.

If anyone from Privacy by Design is reading, an explainer article with a headline clearly stating the tool and intent would be very useful collateral to share.

HN, and numerous other sites, insist on sticking strictly to original titles in many cases, to avoid amplification or distortion by submitters. As original authors, getting your own headlines appropriately focused is a huge benefit.

The site itself is a bit of a hot mess (as are many these days) and could use some focus on orienting and familiarising readers with the project, goals, action items, and tools & resources.

"In the context of 3GPP 5G standardization contributions, the term numerology refers to the configuration of waveform parameters, and different numerologies are considered as OFDM-based sub-frames having different parameters such as subcarrier spacing/symbol time, CP size, etc." (source: https://red-colmena.com/f/JyY1ajY1JmhhZSFpdC91JGcmIyEsYGU/18... which I found with a quick web search for "OFDM numerology")

No, that's incorrect. The license governs the conduct of both parties (here, the creator and the users).

Yes, he can release new software under a new license, but any past software he released under a certain license, he has to follow those terms.

If you come to an agreement with another party (like you agree to license a movie, or book to them), you can't just unilaterally cancel that agreement. That's not how contract law works.

Somewhere in there, it's doesn't matter if it's "advice" or whatever you want to call it, as long as it's shareable elucidation you can apply your own reasoning...but if you don't bother to follow the pattern, it doesn't matter what you think. Asking someone else to have done these steps for you, is a proxy for a lack of interest, imo. Everyone wants to be lazily told things they either already know or can agree with easily, but being critical in a constructive way is work.

Or a battery maybe? I don't know ... if you try to think ahead of what is within the realm of physics but not yet economically or technologically viable there are actually quite a few possibilities.

For the record. I don't think that there will be a physical sim card in your bathroom light but I think that all these wireless communication standards (infrared remote controls, wifi, bluetooth, 4g mobile data ...) will converge into one and the use of that will be so cheap that it will be used everywhere.
I don't understand how anemic domain models are irrelevant now especially in a time where a lot of software practitioners seem to observe domain driven design. In the age of microservices, it is very important to determine clear context boundaries. "Logic lives across multiple services" sounds more like a design smell to me. In this case, changing even very simple business requirements could mean changes in multiple parts of the system, which could mean multiple redeployments of many different services. Also implies more complex integration (even e2e) testing.
You don't know that. Currently consumers don't have the (legal) option, so extrapolating their current behavior to their potential desires is fallacious.
During the 20th Century, Vacuum Tubes Improved in a Moore’s Law-Like Way
High level programming languages automated assembly language programming, by the way. Generally speaking. For instance, with the use of a high level programming language like Python or JavaScript, the operator or user does not need to be concerned with the management of computer memory or processor registers (notwithstanding the fact that such low level abstractions differ between processor architectures as I'm speaking generally).

So even software development is susceptible to the phenomenon of automation.

Anyone got any examples of other kinds of automation?

That is a valid argument if your concept of a mechanical engineer includes anyone who designs a machine; for example improvising levers, pulleys, gears to achieve some end.

I guess it is all "engineering" in a casual, tinkering sense. But a professional engineer, with a Mech Eng degree who uses mathematical models of stress and strain etc, who did lots of tinkering as a kid, might not agree.
On the issue you originally mentioned – immigration – surely it's clear which where each of these two people stood. Look at their policy proposals, their party's policy proposals, their party's policy history, and their rhetoric. Then you vote for the one that's better. No matter how slight the difference (though in this case the difference is huge).

I'm not sure what issue you're referring to getting on the table. (I suspect it actually already is on the table.) But how does not voting get that issue on the table? It's too late to change the candidates' positions on election day. Are you hoping that years later a different set of candidates will try to address your concern by examining who didn't vote in the previous election? That seems unlikely. Candidates do what voters want, not non-voters. Opinion polls often throw out non-voters, too.

And most people care about multiple issues, so even if your main issue isn't addressed by anyone, you've lost the opportunity to try to make some progress on all of those "less important" issues.

The winning strategy for improving the world is not hard. Vote for the "lesser of two evils". Every single time. This will cause evil to decline. Maybe slowly, hopefully quickly.

Don't get stuck in analysis paralysis. The main two U.S. parties have a lot of differences. It should be pretty easy to figure out which closer aligns with your views.
You can't necessarily prove demand for even retroactively obvious products without the products sometimes. I don't think VR is something you are extremely likely to do on the go.

Honest question - what’s the point of all this change? At the end of the day, people are building web pages with these frameworks?

John Carmack has an excellent article on static analysis (unrelated to this topic), but there’s this excellent quote:

>It is important to say right up front that quality isn't everything, and acknowledging it isn't some sort of moral failing. Value is what you are trying to produce, and quality is only one aspect of it, intermixed with cost, features, and other factors.

These JS frameworks and build tools provide far more than just code quality, but what all benefits are they providing that outweigh the cost of, “here is XYZ that you must now figure out, and before you can figure out XYZ, you need to learn A, B, and C”. Stated differently, what exactly is the value?

Junior developers make this mistake and unfortunately so many more tenured developers as well. I can understand you want to use the shiny new thing. How often do you replace your toilet or kitchen sink though? Is it worth it?

To me, the JS ecosystem has become to complex. Even if you’re building for Amazon or Google scale, you want to think twice about not only the shelf life of these various frameworks but also what are their dependencies, what are their failure modes, and at the end of the day, how are they giving you an ROI if you use the new X framework of the month or year CS Y.
While I agree that opsless isn't a fitting name, how do you come to the conclusion that a serverless architecture requires more ops resources than a traditional one?

From my experiences the opposite is the case: The amount of time spent on operating a serverless architecture is much smaller than having to care about the underlying servers as well.

A pretty good example are all the nasty OS-related security vulnerabilities. Instead of patching hundreds of servers, like in the old days, with serverless applications you don't need to do anything. Even better: Your provider (at least if it's one of the major ones) has probably already patched these vulnerabilities, before they get published.
I work some weekends, but only because the job is so interesting.

Here's an example: our R&D team needs various national ID documents to train their AI (text recognition). But they hit a wall - where does one obtain 10s or 100s of IDs? Governments aren't handing out specimens. You can't walk up to random people on the street and ask to scan their ID card. Friends and family - too few!

So the only solution is to 'forge' documents... That's what I've been having fun with over the last few weekends!

> For one thing, if his inputs are mostly Swiss (suppliers and labor) then they too have gone up in price, so he can’t slash prices in response.

But this implies he's taking resources which could be productively used in Switzerland and redirecting them to foreigners. No individual would be worse off, and the net would be better, if the market was left alone except for some transfer payments within Switzerland.

Option A) Sell A watches for B tomatoes, some transfer payments to even out who gets the tomatoes. C watches worth of resources remain with the Swiss.

Option B) Sell A + C watches for B tomatoes, no transfer payments because the tomatoes are distributed as A.

Neither of these solutions are the capitalist one (which is A but no redistribution). However, if the government is going to pick one, A looks better.

Possibly dropping prices would result in more resources entering, but if the watchmakers didn't think dropping their prices initially was a good idea then this aspect is almost surely going to lead to worse use of the resources than leaving them in Switzerland. It is too complicated to reason about the effect that would have; but it certainly isn't at all obvious that it would be a good thing vs the benefits of a strong currency and consuming resources internally.

> And if the Swiss watches get too expensive people may start looking to buy some Japanese watches instead because they’re relatively cheaper.

I don't see this as countering my original compliant; the Swiss government doesn't need to force watchmakers to drop prices - they can do that on their own.

My point here is that this is ultimately a redistributive policy. Roughly the same amount of resources are coming in to Switzerland, but instead of going to a small group of watchmakers they are going to a larger group of watchmakers. Ok. No worries. But why is a key part of the plan subsidising Italian consumption? By government mandate? Through a very-difficult-to-measure-the-exact-effects process of negative interest rates and worrying about currency strength? Could they not just institute a struggling watchmaker payment funded by a gentle tax on capital inflows without the strange dance? It would be much easier to measure the effects of a gentle tax than mucking around with interest rates.

This is a solution that works because nobody knows if they are the one paying for it. But it is going to cost more than a plain tax-and-spend scheme, because it has many opportunities for strange market-bending side effects.
The "obvious" solution to using spider silk is to create a weave of it, like a textile, and then use the spider-silk in the form of a composite.

Imagine spider silk replacing fiberglass threads for example, or carbon-fiber threads. Its not fiberglass or carbon-fibler per-se that makes the material strong, its the composite. The mixture of plastic (which provides compressive strength) with fiber (which provides tensile strength).

There are a ton of composite fibers in the marketplace. I'm not a materials engineer, so I don't know exactly what people are looking for in their fibers (aside from high tensile strength). Probably low-weight, high strength... and probably low-compressive strength (or at least, people ignore the figure).

"Elasticity" in spider-silk sounds interesting, but I'm not sure if thats good or bad for a composite.

-----------

The composite for structures is going to be Reinforced concrete: Steel Rebar provides tensile strength, while Concrete provides compressive strength.

Where spider-silk (or fiberglass / carbon fiber composites) shine, are low-weight applications. Bicycles, bullet-proof armor, and flywheels. The question is if spider-silk is actually any better than carbon fiber (or Kevlar)

That's the thing: we have a LOT of manufactured fibers. Maybe spider-silk has a niche that can be used. But its competing against Carbon Fiber, Fiberglass, and Kevlar.

-----------

It seems like Spider-silk has less tensile strength than Carbon Fiber / Kevlar. However, due to its flexibility, spider-silk can absorb significantly more energy before breaking (aka "Toughness").

So spider-silk might be superior for stopping bullets in a composite weave, but it would be awful as a load-bearing structure (unless that load-bearing structure were expected to be "catching" objects a lot). Hmmm... maybe a Tennis Racket would be the ideal use of Spider Silk...
The challenge I see is that tackling the asset-protecting interests head on may be too great a challenge.

As a comparison, California in the 1950s represented an alternative to challenging development-averse and innovation-averse practices in points East -- New York, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, and other established centres of population and industrial power.

Rather than fight on home turf, innovation packed up and headed West. A classic example being RAND Corporation, which literally loaded a train with researchers and families and headed to the (then cheap) locale of Santa Monica, CA.

The history of research and academic centres as being adjacent but removed from centres of commerce and power is a long one, dating back to Plato's Academy, an eponymous grove about a 30 minutes' walk outside Athens, then centre of the Western world.

I've been diving a bit into the history of major research laboratories, such a DuPont, Kodak, AT&T, IBM, Xerox, and others. Similar trends. The Manhattan Project is an extreme case, with additional constraints (secrecy, not disturbing the neighbours).
My sense is that this is all completely driven by the need to have something new to sell.
But what's the failure case here? The US corporations end up buying more mature technology that's already been tested and funded by other nations?
Sure, but that wasn't what the OP said. They said:

> Insanity is the wrong term, because it would imply repeating something that has already failed.

ie suggesting the opposite of your point; that the term "insanity" is more narrowly defined rather than broadly defined.
> I think this is missing the big picture.

I'm not disputing the threat and intimidation factor, I'm just saying there is also a countervailing force. In particular, any "media relations officer" who tries to pull this kind of shit is also taking a big risk.
Yeah, something has to give and we as a society have to find out what.

I don’t get why people shy away from making these hard calls. I mean, I don’t even think this one is a hard one to make.

Of course all of this does not exist in an ideology free completely politically neutral space. You have to make some assumptions and some value judgements. That’s ok. There is nothing wrong with that.

I’m also so weirded out when people try to construct working societies from this maximalist non-interference maximalist neutrality point of view. I don’t think societies have to be neutral.

You are also constructing one very weird case that just doesn’t work at all and makes no sense.
Yeah, I think it's interesting how we didn't have nearly as much formal government censorship, but that commercial interests converged on the same sorts of outcomes.

And yes, I think the history is especially interesting around visible versus invisible minorities. Plenty of people in the Hollywood of old were GLBTQ and got away with it because they could hide it. But that didn't work for racial bias.
