Which book is this? I believe reading the original masters who came up with the discoveries is the way to understanding. It is said that when the Great Mathematician Gauss was asked as to how he made his discoveries, replied; "By studying the Masters and not their Students". There is something about the process of trial and error, testing various hypothesis', going down dead ends and then doubling back and finally lighting upon the answer which clarifies and provides intuitive understanding that can only be conveyed by the person who went through the experience i.e. The Discoverer himself. Everybody else is just parroting the end results without understanding (there are always a few exceptions of course).
I knew something like this would happen. The market is flooded with cheap foreign liquids which no-one has any idea what's been put into them. How they've managed to bypass national trading standards is beyond me.

But it means that now we've got an understudied activity, with people using liquids filled with who knows what. There was bound to be health risks sooner or later.
I was not really addressing ECU programming - that is an entirely different beast. But regardless, Toyota was involved in a scandal where they tried to cover up an error in the ECU that resulted in at least one death.

A subsequent review of their ECU code was quite worrying - it was to put it mildly, a cluster fuck that would result in deaths sooner or later.
I also gave up with my new pan. I took the sander to it and now it's nicely smooth and seasoned :-)
I've used _BitScanReverse (popcount-ish MSVC intrinsic) with a custom octree indexing scheme, where higher level voxels have more unset bits from the left. Neat stuff.

No, no, no, no. It's generally recognized as a safer alternative to smoking. Sure, long-term effects are unknown, but I can breathe a whole lot easier since I switched to an e-cig. Go tackle the obesity crisis first. Or how about HIV in the homosexual community? Haven't enough people died from contracting HIV from gay sex? Isn't it about time we outlaw that?

I have a large hope that whomever buys this, carries on doing great research things with it, and doesn't just convert it into a playboys luxury pad.
It is absolutely not clear to me that ethics and mathematics have nothing to do with each other. Let me give just one example. In statistics, there is a great debate about Bayesian methods vs frequentist methods. People in other fields using Frequentist vs Bayesian has real world consequences. For instance, medical scientists using frequentist statisics abuse the methods to publish cures that will not cure or help any sick people. This is not to say that the same scientists using Bayesian statistics would not attempt to abuse the system, but my belief (which could be wrong), is that the abuse will be less with Bayesian statistics.

So for me the math professor, who teaches pre-medical students frequentist statistics or the mathematician who creates yet another adhoc frequentist test for some specific situation, is doing something bad according to my ethics. They are making the world a worse place because of the particular kind of mathematics they choose to do.
> And b) ‘useful’ isn’t mathematics, it’s physics/biology/economics/whatever.

I don’t think that’s really true. There are cyclical/oscillatory behaviors within pure mathematics, for which complex numbers are useful. Just look at the other math article that’s on HN front page currently, on the Riemann Zeta function (John Baez blog post).
I second that.

There's also a lot of movie and tv adaptations of this book out there(Alan Badel was probably the best Count) and I really enjoy compering them to the book.
Well, my experience is different.
Have you considered the ethical concerns regarding allowing humans to work doing menial tasks which can be automated to the scale you are saying?

Another VERY important couple of questions to ask and understand when looking at the 800,000 years of atmospheric CO2 concentration data we have is:

Q1- What caused atmospheric CO2 concentrations to reliably increase by about 100 ppm in roughly 25,000 years for each (roughly) 100,000 year cycle?

Q2- What made CO2 concentration decrease over 50K to 75K years?

The answers to these questions are simple:

A1: Fires. Massive continent-scale fires...burning forests.

A2: Massive natural reforestation and weather. Yup. Hurricanes, cyclones, rain, etc.

While the idea of planting trillions of trees is excellent, we also have to understand an important point. The more trees we have the greater the probability of going backwards by decades when --not if-- a large fire rips through millions of them. We can't fight fires at those scales. And, if we could, you'd have to calculate the energy and CO2 we would produce in doing so (planes, trucks, equipment, etc.).

Climate change isn't an easy problem, not even close. I don't know if I want to laugh or cry when I hear politicians pushing some of the truly brain-dead stuff they get behind.

About this one:

> Respect code and systems that came before you. There are reasons for every code and every guard that exists in production

Sometimes there's bad code in prod, or code that doesn't need to exist anymore. You should try to understand when something is there for a good reason versus a bad reason. Cut out the bad code, keep the good code.

I've seen a lot of cases where people assume that current code is untouchable or designed very intentionally, so they wrap it and then you end up with a tower of abstractions built on a poor base.

So, I think as a senior engineer you should try to understand the difference between code that should stay and code that should go.
Of course I don’t mean that one specific subset of employees (e.g. pilots) deserve all the profits distributed to them at the expense of other employees. Ideally all the workers of a firm would be organized together, but I’m aware that this isn’t the current reality of this situation.

And money used to pay back loans wouldn’t be considered “profit” in any definitions I’m familiar with. If the “investment” takes some other form such that the investor expects to be paid back a lot more due to employees being paid much less than the value they’re delivering, then yeah, I’m fine with the employees organizing and saying that’s not going to happen.

I am making an actual point. You started with conflating whatever happened to Epstein with felon disenfranchisement. Somewhere in the middle you made up a definition of 'ostracism'. Now you're saying a person convicted of sexual abuse of a minor should raise no questions when he brings women half his age to an MIT fundraising meeting.

I'm happy to put it directly to you again. What the actual fuck?
Because the point of a subsidy is to benefit the public, not particular industries. If others can stand on their own, why would you waste public money on subsidizing a less efficient one?
South African expat in Norway here. In South Africa health care is technically provided by state but if you don't want to die or lose a limb when you go in for something minor you need private insurance which is normally provided by employer.

Engineers at a known european auto maker created a solution to defeat car emissions tests. As a result, there were cars on the streets that polluted hundreds of times more than a regular car.

In an east asian country, people live under constant surveillance: physical (cameras, face detection), financial, and online activity. If you criticize the government you lose access to everything: payments, transport, credit, job, etc.

If you were paid a lot of money, would you implement those "solutions"?

That is the importance of ethics.
From a summary of the issue I heard on LBC (UK radio station) a couple of days ago, this all stems from when the pilots agreed to a pay and pensions cut several years ago when BA was in financial trouble, and now that BA (and it's new parent company) is now back in profit, they want an inflation adjusted boost to put their pay and pensions back to where they should be.

I think it’s good that Rust sort of forces you to recognize the complexity in this. If you try s.len(), it’ll be in terms of UTF-8 bytes, which might be what you want… or might be far from it. If you switch to s.chars().count(), you’ll get Unicode scalar values, which may be closer to the mark. And if you need proper segmentation by “user-perceived character,” as set out in Unicode Annex 29, you’ll have to bring in an external crate. That’s fair enough.

Keep in mind that even Annex 29 is, on some level, just a starting point. Its segmentation rules don’t work “out of the box” for me with Persian and Arabic text. I’m not totally on-board with its treatment of the zero-width non-joiner (U+200C), and it doesn’t deal with manual tatweel/kashida (U+0640) at all. So you make the necessary adjustments for your use case. The rabbit hole is deep.

is there any non-human math you are aware of? The categorization of mathematics into certain disciplines (algebra/topology/etc) is also a human choice. As is the choice to separate the philosophy class from the calculus class. They are all human choices, which reflect our outlook to life. I choose not to demarcate mathematics and philosophy because as far as I know only humans do mathematics, and every choice they make in that doing, teaching or researching has implications, even if tiny, for the good or bad that happens to this world.
I’ve stated this before: cigarettes will kill me with a 100% probability (I was smoking over a pack a day).

Maybe vaping will not kill me. Maybe I’ll grow a third arm in 20 years. I don’t know. But I have to play the odds; “100% certainty” vs “maybe not”, I know which one I’m going for.

Also, I’ve gone from 9mg of nicotine to 1mg in 2 years, because vaping allows me to monitor and measure exactly how much nicotine I put in and consume. With cigarettes, I only grew more addicted, never less.

Mitochondria carry their own genome, which is substantially different to bacteria. Although nowadays a core part of eukaryotic cells, it's not hard to believe that they were once a separate form of life much simpler than a bacteria.

Considering the age of life on this planet, panspermia from Mars is unlikely; in the early life of the solar system, the sun was much dimmer and Mars was significantly colder than today. Any liquid water on the surface, on which life as we know it could have developed, would only be present in fairly recent history (no longer than a billion years really).

Just gently boil butter on a low heat for about 25 minutes then strain through cheese cloth.

>...was all the vaping done thus far and into the future worth even one person dying needlessly?

This is a reduction to absurdity that I can't quite grasp: People die of all sorts of maladies every year and a single person dying from vaping is your apex priority because, "it could've been prevented by banning vaping"?

This almost seems like a variation of the "won't someone think of the children" argument.

To whit: What of all of the vehicular deaths every year? Or deaths via trains or planes? Should we just ban all life because it will result in death at an astounding success rate of 100%?

I had an e-cigarette for 1 or 2 years which I used almost exclusively. The benefits were big but charging, changing filter/liquid, buying liquid was a lot of effort. But at some point I had a burning sensation, actually the "smoke" felt really hot already when entering my mouth. I'm quite sure these were technical difficulties because I had a cheap replacement device as I lost the old one. Anyhow, I also had slight pain in my lungs if I remember correctly.

It seems like a very immature technology and I doubt that it is in general dangerous as I know several people that used heavily customized e-cigarettes with self-made liquids for years. The sensation is almost relaxing when using this combination. (Of course these people had become experts on this topic.) But honestly, if one feels pain with anything one should probably stop doing it. (Same with cigarettes, if one feels respiratory problems one should at least pause it. A former boss of mine had that sometimes so he only smoked seldomly and sometimes does pauses of half a year or so. He must be now 60 or so but he's always far away from being a regular smoker.)
I have to say that let the market play out the rules. When people don't want to work overtime, they can leave the job to those who need to work overtime, and once those people who need to work overtime finally at a stage that he doesn't need to work overtime, the job will either increase its standard or go to another place where people need these jobs.

Plenty of parser formalisms can define their own syntax in their own syntax. As mentioned elsewhere, C compilers can parse their own source code. Gödel has nothing to do with it.
I appreciate your optimism about the unknown, but there is the frightening possibility that maybe e-cigerattes will kill you more efficiently than your regular smokes.

If you’re using it as a way to stop completely, then that’s awesome, but all Danish research on the subject has led to vaping being on our “not-recommended” list for ways of helping people quit.
That kind of thing is actually fully general, and called the scalar evolution (SCEV) analysis. LLVM for example has a full engine [1] for solving all sort of polynomial recurrences, so you can solve, say, sum i^2 with clang too: https://godbolt.org/z/-nHe78

Some groups like T1 diabetics can not have the amount of sugar in "normal" fizzy drinks. That amount of sugar can cause issues from nausea to messed up glucose levels needing hospitalization. Hamburgers and fries are not a problem (not healthy but not dangerous).

This whole sordid affair and some of the ways people are commenting and writing about it has been one of those situations where I'm taken aback by how differently some people see it to me.

You are conflating software engineering good practices with ethics. They slightly overlap but are not the same.

> Pure compiler jobs are far and wide between.

In an absolute sense, this is true. There are never likely to be hundreds of thousands of compiler jobs.

In a relative sense, this isn't true. I run a PL research group with a heavy focus on (mostly dynamic) compilers, and I've lost track of the number of companies (some obvious, some not) who are desperate to hire people with a compiler background to do compiler stuff. Because there are so few people with suitable training, and as said elsewhere on this thread, industry has become used to taking good people without a compiler background and crossing their fingers that they can learn the ropes -- which good people of course can, given a bit of time. But, in my experience, even groups which are largely staffed with people who haven't done a compiler PhD would love to hire people with compiler PhDs.

Will this always be true? Well, it perhaps wasn't (as) true 15-20 years ago when people often only seemed to care about C++ and Java performance. But, given the continual increase in the quantity of languages that people want to run fast (and, often, on a variety of devices), it's hard to see that happening any time soon.

For me this is really important, When I used to collect vinyl I'd seek out 12" special editions of songs simply because of the obscure gems that the artist/label would put on the B-sides. Even now I'm sure that a lot of those B-sides still haven't made it into the digital domain.

I also loved picture discs along with great album art. Both of these things seem to now be a relic of history now that digital music is the de facto method of consumption.
Those promises are "easy" to achieve for a certain interpretation of what they mean.

BASIC itself, through things like peek and poke, can give you the "power of C", and with subroutines if you create a stdlib that you inject, you can certainly make it as high-level and versatile as Python.

That doesn't mean that you get the benefits of C, Python and BASIC all at once though. You've achieved the overly-broad goals, and can say you haven't lied, but the impression the consumer has won't live up to the real world - because they're expecting the cultures and communities of those languages as well.

In a way the person who bought that famous pizza for 10,000 Bitcoin only lost "wealth" that wouldn't have existed without the buzz generated by that transaction.

So I think you would right to say the way GP phrased it is misleading, but you're definitely wrong to say that it's not what the article says at all.
