Just to clarify, Go has an extremely simple cross compilation story. GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build main.go will consistently create a windows binary. It also has great support for a wide variety of architectures. This has been true since Go 1.5 and GOPATH idiosyncrasies are largely going away with the move to go modules.

That is not technically even true. If you live in a bad neighborhood it's still probabilistically better to drive home thru a good neighborhood than thru another bad neighborhood.
> Guess what, people would absolutely get sent to the major roadways if (and only if!) those roadways would actually get people where they want to go, faster. If those roadways suck compared to the alternatives, then that points towards a duty of the major to improve those major roadways

I strenuously disagree. You seem to be saying that city planners and traffic engineers have to design with the constraint that a large subset of drivers will take the instantaneously fastest route rather than sticking to intended high-throughout roads.

I suspect that this would have rather poor implications. It means that little residential streets that happen to parallel major streets will get used at their full capacity whenever the major streets drop below 25-ish mph.

This, in turn, likely means that the little streets can’t safely be used by pedestrians and become unsafe for people trying to cross or exit driveways, let alone for kids who want to play.

This sucks. It’s not clear what cities can do about it, but blaming the cities and saying that every last through street needs to be widened is not the answer.
That came to mind as well. We're taking for granted here that much of the population was drinking the kool-aid when the Nazis took power; there wasn't, say, very popular dissent. And that's a more realistic scenario with a tyrannical power. I can't imagine one, at least a domestic one, that manages to hold on to tyranny despite the large part of the population wanting them out. With or without weapons.

That's complete BS. The roads have always been there, fulfilling their designated purpose; which is to handle the small amount of traffic the neighborhood residents generate in a safe manner. They were never meant to handle massive amounts of traffic, which actually does damage property values when potential buyers are scared off by unsafe streets.

Free software isn't about making data openly available.

Stallman, at https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html , argues that free software developers should "charge as much as they wish or can, ... if you are redistributing copies of free software, you might as well charge a substantial fee and make some money."

If you have useful data, the free software principles say that you might as well charge a lot of money for it, which is not what most chemists and biologists think of in discussion of data openness.

FWIW, the discussion in science started independently of free software. Here's an example from structural biology. Previous to the 1980s, it was common for crystallographers to withhold structure data from a publication, and perhaps only publish an image showing the C-alpha backbone. This was because they wanted to be able to publish additional papers from the same data set, without competition. By 1987[1], there was a push to require coordinate submission into the PDB as requirement for publication. Most journals adopted this new policy in 1989, and funding agencies started to do so as well[2].

While the GNU project started earlier (1983), there is no connection between free software and the open data availability requirements for publication and funding in structural biology.

[2] https://journals.iucr.org/a/issues/2008/01/00/sc5004/index.h...

Open Source also isn't about making data openly available. Both are only applicable to those who acquire software. It just happens to be that most free and open source developers also make their software available at no cost.

PayPal Australia ordered to do audit by financial crime watchdog
The new New South Wales Roads Minister Andrew Constance emphatically states:

“>There is no doubt drink-driving as far as I’m concerned is on a par with mobile phone use, and that’s why we want everyone to be aware that you’re going to get busted doing this anytime, anywhere,” Constance told Australian Broadcasting Corp."

But the further down we read:

>"Photos that show suspected illegal behavior are referred for verification by human eyes before an infringement notice is sent to the vehicle’s registered owner along with a 344 Australian dollar ($232) fine."

I'm guessing the penalty for being caught driving under the influence in Australia is far greater than $344 AUD. Why wouldn't they price the infraction for driving while texting similarly then?
I think the main problem with NPR news is they always play dumb. If somebody tells them "2+2=5," they just repeat it, if even it's been proven a lie, even if they've been saying the same lie for 30 years. It's not objectivity, it's just enabling liars.
One beef I have with NPR podcasts is that they often crank up the loudness of the ads way higher than the rest of the podcast.

When I already have the volume adjusted so I can hear the podcast over local background noise, the commercials are genuinely painful. Especially when I'm wearing earbuds and can't instantly lower the volume.

I'm sure they have reasons, but it really pisses me off.
* I haven't looked into it myself, so I can't really address your specific question about using fast/optimized libraries such as BLAS.

This doesn't (seem to) distinguish your system python (i.e., the ones that'll run in a default execution environment if you run "python" or "python3") and project-specific pythons.

For the latter, I guess it's common to use something like virtualenv or a container/VM to isolate this python instance from your system Python.

Personally, I use Nix (the package manager and corresponding packaging language) for declaring both my python system and project environments.

Nix still takes some work to ease into, but I think your question suggests enough understanding/need/drive to push through this. Costrouc (https://discourse.nixos.org/u/costrouc) may be a good person to ask; I can recall him making a number of posts about data science on Nix. I also noticed this one, which seems related to what you're looking into: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/benchmarking-lapack-blas-libra...

You can, probabilistically. If you randomly sample cars from all the street-legal models in the US (for example), and sort them by how fast they are based on appearance only, you would not be 100% correct, but you'd probably do much better than if you claim that "You can't understand very much at all just based on how things look" and sort them randomly (the prior being that each car is equally likely to be anywhere in the distribution).

So, it depends on what you want to do here. If the task is just "predict if the person is a software engineer". I'd say go ahead, bias it away. Here, anything that boosts accuracy is game to me.

But if the task is say the pre-screening side. This becomes a more ethically/morally tricky question. If and only if that sex is not a predictive factor for engineer quality, you would then expect to see similar classifier performance for male / female samples. Given that assumption, significant (hah) divergence from equal performance would be something to correct.

Of course there are other issues to handle, such as the unbalanced state of the dataset and so on.

This is horrible advice. Going to HR is about leaving a paper trail, which is very important. No judge or arbitrator is going to give two hoots about i-said/they-said without (dated) documentation to back it up.

It's notable that all of these anecdotes are from back in the '90s and before; since I assume Stallman's accusers dug around very hard for material and this is the best they could find, it stands to reason that he probably has long since improved in that regard. Moreover, the same cluster of people among others has seriously been arguing (https://medium.com/@selamie/remove-richard-stallman-appendix...) that a mattress in the office of someone whose every public profile involves a mention of how he slept in the office for years to develop GNU is unambiguous sexual innuendo (quote: "He kept the door to his office open, to proudly showcase that mattress and all the implications that went with it."). I am not sure how trustworthy their accounts can be considered to begin with.
No problem. There's some issues with it right now, but feel free to give it some testing at https://github.com/swaywm/sway/pull/4570.

It has been an interesting exercise so far, and frankly a quite pleasant one. Rather than autotools or CMake, many of these projects are using Meson, which is just so much nicer. I also really have learned to appreciate Sway WM's code, which I personally think is quite nice now, after having worked with it (though, admittedly, the ease of segfaulting does make you long for something like Rust.)
Those positions are still being valued according to some internal measure at AH, I think. So they should be factored in already.

This is my point. As the president of an organization it’s not your job to make people uncomfortable about things that have nothing to do with that organization’s goals. Debating what is and is not statutory rape is not a discussion that should take place in any professional or technical environment.

This instance is actually even worse than just debating something in the inappropriate context. Epstein is a huge scandal. He raped dozens if not hundreds of girls. He loaned them out to other powerful people. It is within this context that RMS’ statements are most damning. He’s wading in some very murky ethical waters and it should be no surprise he caught a backlash.
I've been giving it a serous thought lately, if I cannot break out this loop then I guess there's no other choice.
Again, none of this has anything to do with serverless architecture vs non-serverless architecture. There are many PaaS providers that would eliminate all of your complaints that aren't "serverless". They just manage the server for you. But you still write a normal app that you can easily run locally or port anywhere you want.

If you decide you don't like the service, you're app isn't tied to a proprietary API or architecture.

And you don't need to manage additional VMs for stateful services.

I think it depends on the nature of the code.

For a side project of mine, I recently re-wrote the same code in a dozen or so languages. The application reads input data from text file and does a bunch of conversions to integers and floats (atoi and atof). It then runs through an algorithm that does calculations and identifies proper actions. Finally, it writes the output data as formatted text file. Regardless of implementation, it runs quick. Sorry I can't provide more details on nature of the code (it has IP that belongs to another person).

They'll be more than "effectively" private if it keeps up, which reduces utility for everyone.

This is much harder to do, especially in larger enterprises where changes can take months. This includes updates and bug fixes.

If this is where we push the industry, it will be a huge win for users.
Maybe convenience to drivers is not the single purpose of urban planning.
I would consider that any driver who's following all the rules of the road and posted signs (which would and should be different for these small, narrow side streets) should be freely able to use that road if it gets them where they want to be faster or more conveniently, and that them using these streets in that way should NOT be considered abuse.

If there's a mismatch between the planners' intent and the posted street signs, speed limits, etc - that's a fault of the plan and the planner's; street signs delineating how drivers should behave on these streets are a key part (if not the main part) of city traffic planning. Drivers have to obey the signs, and they don't have to obey some official's intent - so if some streets have lower speed limits or speed bumps because they're residental areas, then that's completely fine and both drivers and Waze will take that into account when routing.

But in general, if it's a public street, then the public (including nonlocal public!) is meant to be there if they want to; if it's not a private street of a gated neighbourhood then the drivers passing through have the exact same right to use that public street as the people who live there. It's not at the expense of the people who live there, it's simply using your own rightly deserved share of that public street instead of expecting that those other people have a monopoly on it and that you'd need their permission to share that street with you - if anything, you could label the desire to keep others off "their" street as doing so "at the expense" of these other taxpayers. You can plan and build non-arterial streets so that they're more useful for reaching local stuff and less useful for passing through; however, if the locals are allowed to drive through that street with x mph, then arbitrary numbers of other people are (and should!) also be allowed to be there on the same conditions.

In fact, widening every street will make the situation worse. Induced demand is a well-known phenomenon. All that will happen is that trip time will return to around the previous equilibrium but now neighbourhood roads will be much more expensive and dangerous.

The problems of roads can't be solved by building more roads.
In Portland the city has put up "diverters," which block cars from continuing along a neighborhood street while allowing pedestrians and bikes through. It makes the street useless as a cut-through. I love this model and wish they'd sprinkle them every few blocks on every neighborhood street in the city.
From the ITER wiki link:

> ITER Project was initiated in 1988.

> The expected cost of ITER has risen from US$5 billion to US$20 billion, and the timeline for operation at full power was moved from the original estimate of 2016 to 2027.

> A technical concern is that the 14 MeV neutrons produced by the fusion reactions will damage the materials from which the reactor is built

... definitely not clear to me that this is a "clear path forward" to fusion power, but I was encouraged to learn that a project of this sort was underway.
This is great for people heavily invested in the .NET world. I like the integration with VS, and with the language overall.

We worked with a small vendor on a project at work last year, where he was building a frontend for our gRPC based backend system. My team inherited him from another division that was winding down, and though he had weird choices of tooling and frameworks, we couldn't dictate what he used as that was out of our control.

What we imposed though was that he only use gRPC to communicate with our services. He struggled a lot, I spent about an hour with him trying to compile the proto files. He also weirdly converted every message to JSON then XML. I assumed he'd been used to covering from JSON to XML. In the end, we had a poor experience and decided to rebuild the thing in-house.

My observations were that other than unfamiliarity with gRPC, he knows his way around MS stuff, the lack of seamless integration with his technology stack.

This integration should make it easier for people to get productive faster, and for new users to experiment.
I don't have any specific knowledge about that. Our lab was mainly focused on diagnostics for transplant rejection, with the idea being that a quick and easy test for rejection would allow immune suppression to be adjusted more accurately and more often, since the current standard test is a tissue biopsy manually inspected by a specialist, which is not something you can do very frequently for a number of reasons.
