Just last night I met some new people at a bar/restaurant, we went back to one of their places, and spent the evening drinking tequila while passing around an aux cable to share music while we hung out and talked for hours. And many, many times I've been a passenger in a car that only has an aux cable for listening to music, and I've been able to put on music.

I realized how silly it would've been to be unable to participate in those moments.

> purely financially, owning is not better than renting; rent is not wasted money, at least not more than the fingerquotes rent you spend when you live in your own place.

Only if you're having no kids which you plan to leave some wealth to inherit. Owning a home is the way for the lower/ middle class to build up trans-generational wealth. Let's just take the following example:

1. I buy a home today and pay it off in 30 years (standard schedule).

2. I get a kid in three years.

3. The kid is ~30 when I become a pensioner and move off to Croatia to smoke pot all day and night... meaning the kid can either move with his family into my fully paid off home, rent it out or sell it off at 4-5x the "original" value. Either way, my kid can keep a vast proportion of his paycheck and either save it up or investing it, thus creating wealth.

If I will spend the rest of my time renting, however, I will leave nothing for my kid to inherit and use as leverage to build their own wealth.

Doctors are not researchers. Some doctors might dig deep but others go to work then go home and spend time with their families. They also have bills to pay and school loans.

I can't recall the story exactly but there was a doctor who spoke out against a popular medication. He found that it increased a chance of a heart attack I believe by over 50%. They released a small study in a journal and his existence became a living hell. Eventually, the knowledge became main stream.

I for example had a serious reaction to cipro, left me with chronic pain. This reaction is starting to become common knowledge, yet I have found a single doctor willing to put down possible side effects of cipro in my chart. People have been reporting these side effects to FDA for 15+ years, it is affecting many people but symptoms take up to 12 months to surface and doctors don't want to accept it. I have talked to number of people diagnosed with fibromyalgia for example that later realized they took cipro for UTI right before symptoms began. Plus, the FDA has been making the label more severe almost every year. The European organization EMA suggested doctors use these medication only in life threatening infections.
No, it's really not a "niche".

By your logic, the entire postal system is a "niche" in the overall economy. That doesn't mean you should ignore it.

Stuff shipped from China through the postal system isn't a "niche", it's an enormous volume of mail, and it's the very reason our postal rates are so damn high.

>they'll just take a different path into the country and potentially be more expensive.

How exactly is this a problem??!! The whole problem is that it's unfair trade for postal customers to be subsidizing people buying stuff on AliExpress. If someone wants to import shipping containers full of cheap Chinese stuff and resell it within the US, that's fine: it's way more efficient and ecological than drop-shipping from China. It doesn't work right now because the postal rates are so horrendous for domestic postage, but if we stop subsidizing Chinese shippers, then that should change.

Oasis is running Blackrock, which is basically a cluster architecture version of Sandstorm. And while it was originally an enterprise/paid offering only, Blackrock is also now open source. However, Blackrock was really never built out as far as intended, and really only runs on Google Cloud.

There's a fair bit of history you may not be aware of. For instance, the payment system used to be part of Blackrock, but then was moved over to Sandstorm when it was open sourced so you didn't need to run Blackrock to sell subscriptions to a Sandstorm server. And there used to be paid-only features, but when Sandstorm-the-company ran out of money, they were made free as well.

A minor nit about this article:

Aside from weight, what value is the physical map really providing?

The FDA does quite a bit to keep both good and bad actors in check. They are not perfect, but for example they regularly track down outbreaks of food born illnesses in ways the producers simply can’t. https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety...

Making wide sweeping statements based on very specific issues simply demonstrates ignorance of how these organizations actually interact with the systems they regulate.

PS: As to FDA ‘rubber stamping’ the drug, using opioids for treatment of end of life cancer pain is perfectly reasonable. OxyContin is just one of a huge list of similar drugs that have been in use long before this outbreak. It’s not the chemical that’s the problem is the other actions by the company.

I love Common Lisp, which is definitely on the other end of the spectrum, but still enjoy Go a lot too.

For me it is a perfect fit for writing automation, services and command line tools. It is stable, it is simple to use/write/read, it is easy to deploy, it has great IDE support and tooling, it just makes sense in the enterprise, as author himself notes.

I like Rust too, but compared to Go it has the feel of a research project. I think Rust has great future, I definitely see using it, but for now I will stick with CL/TS/Go.

Has there been a statically typed language with no null and no generics? I'm pretty sure that every language I've used that implements an Option-like type has it be generic. Maybe TypeScript, where you can have "number | null"?
Hm, maybe it's been too long since I had some AlgoDat lectures, but I recall we learned that memory hierarchy was rather important, and that having data in cache can make a huge difference. Of course for the undergrad course, learning proper analysis was more important, since the whole thing about big-O is how often $STUFF happens relative to the input size (or at least that was my big take away). That $STUFF is swappable, and in the lecture we usually used "number of compares". The idea was that a student could later analyze for other things, e.g. for loads, cache-misses, page-faults, cycles or a combination thereof.
You're saying yourself: "they operated with several distinct big-O's.".

So, what did you do then? From a theoretical/CS point-of-view, you're just optimizing for less VM paging. There is nothing wrong about it, quite the opposite: You're demonstrating knowledge of your machines architecture, and use it to keep memory latency low - which is both a good thing. But this isn't new, or unheard of. I recently looked something up w.r.t. tree data structures, and the 1997 8th edition of Cormen, Leiserson and Rivest even mentions how bad it is to access data from a spinning disk, and how that should be reduced (I didn't read that section in detail, because that was not what I was interested in).

However, maybe sometimes people forget that, or the application of their knowledge is bad (e.g. optimize for "number of compares" when memory latency is dominant). With regards to that, I really liked the article: I do a lot of runtime analysis for assembler code across various platforms, and as such I am painfully aware how complex even decades old pipelines are - it's a pain that developers tend to forget about this.

On the one hand I find (parts of) the linked article funny, on the other hand it's painful that you assume all other people to be ignorant, when this is not the case.

Regarding big-E: That's also not new, but probably not as popular as it should/could be. I recall a friend mentioning that part of her PhD research was energy complexity of sorting algorithms. That was ~2008.
If their compensation was reduced then that does count as taking a share of the losses.

use visual mode more?

Say you want to replace the contents inside a pair of matching parentheses. Instead of ci( type vi( and if you are happy with the selection, then type c -- that takes an extra keystroke, but gives you visual confirmation of what you are operating on.

Or slightly differently, and this is useful only for "c"hange, add "$" to your cpoptions (that is, :set cpoptions += "$" in your vimrc).

Major market index funds do not buy into recently IPO'd stocks because such stocks are not in major market indexes. While pension funds may buy in a little, most will not because recently IPO'd stocks are considered highly volatile and thus outside the remit of their investment objectives.

Further, the equity markets are much smaller than the debt markets (i.e. bonds) these days. Do not mistake press attention (they go after the exciting stories) for actual market activity.

> And don’t try to tell me the real issue is that older people aren’t tech savvy. Maybe that stereotype once contained a grain of truth—in 2000, just 14% of 65-plus America used the internet—but it’s no longer the case. Today, 73% of the 65-plus population is online, and half own smartphones.

This is interesting to me, as while it certainly is true it doesn’t come close to saying what the author is trying to make it say imo. Yeah my grandparents have smartphones, I still wouldn’t call them tech savvy.

I work as one of a small team of developers in a rather old (demographically) vocational company, and while our team doesn’t do IT work per se, all the employees over 50 can’t tell the difference between the Dev team and IT support. They have no clue, and explaining it to them is impossible. Further, it’s a constant pain point for me working with older people on software related issues, especially when it comes to user interface details. Management is constantly pushing for interfaces to be as plain, simple, and stupid as possible to ensure that all employees can use internal tools without needing assistance.

Older people today do engage with technology but that doesn’t make them “tech savvy” and in my opinion they probably never will be. Subsequent generations (mine being one of the first) had the benefit of being introduced to computers at a very young age so to us it’s as natural as riding bike or making grilled cheese. I think that, no matter what we try to do, there’s no way to make older generations be “tech savvy” because they were deprived of that early exposure.

I think older people absolutely do have a desire to be tech savvy, I just don’t see how we get there. I’ve thought about this often but I don’t know what the solution is. Overall great article, and I’m probably a lot dumber than anyone who works at MIT AgeLabs so my opinion probably should be taken with a grain of salt

Yes, you could definitely make this in Ableton. Basically, all you need is samples (recordings of instrument sounds, either individual notes that you put in whatever order you like, or recordings of someone playing a whole musical phrase, preferably something that loops well) and a sequencer of some kind, which is the main function of Ableton. There are also effects and mixing and mastering techniques that can drastically change the sound of music, but all you need to get started are some samples and a sequencer.
