> Catching all your mistakes at compile time and not at runtime is so amazing

It would be, but IME Crystal, or statically typed programming languages that don't have a type system at least as powerful as Haskells in general, don't get anywhere remotely close to that, and the overhead added to get what they do give is of dubious net benefit outside of large projects.

And even with Haskell, while you can express a much richer set of constraints in types, there's also more space for bugs in the type level programming.

Would these suggestions apply for Django?

I'm assuming Django also faces similar issues
Ah ok. Thanks! In that case the title seems good.
Ok, twigils, whatever. They're next to each other so they're double the crazyness. Like the $#last_index in Perl. In Raku the . and ! are used to designate a private or public variable within a class definition. I got it backwards, which sort of proves the whole point. Push a private array nested into another and you have a bunch of gibberish worse than in Perl, where you'd only prefix it with \. Use an auxilliary variable and it feels too verbose. OTOH @{$hash{array_ref}} dereferentiation in Perl is quite annoying. And no, $hash{array_ref}->@ is definitely not how you fix this mess. I agree that sigils offer some insight into what type of the variable you are looking at.

Great improvements are not enough compared to other languages, even Ruby which is quite slow itself. Have you wrote anything in Node, Dart or Lua? They feel like a F1 car where Raku is an 17th century cart.
The childhood mass vaccinations are individually and collectively effective with few doses and target epidemic diseases, some of which lead to a lifetime of diminished capacity.

The flu vaccine targets a potentially epidemic disease, which can be lethal, but doesn't often leave you with lifetime effects otherwise. Additionally, the vaccine has varied effectiveness from year to year, requires an annual dose. Annecdotally, I know if I get the flue vaccine, I'm going to feel shitty for a couple days; but I don't know that I've ever had the flu -- most of the seasonal illness I've had doesn't seem to match, and of course, you wouldn't know unless you were tested, and no doctor wants you to come in to get tested if you're doing OK at home.

with spectral frequency components that are not constrained to have fixed magnitudes but also could decay or
grow exponentially.

I think this exponential decay or growth is the major difference compared to an IFFT, and hence the algorithm can work more efficient over a larger time/frequency domain.

Think of improvements anywhere FFT is used today, but where there is a need to work over a non-linear time/frequency domain.
You had the desire. What job do you do though? Almost everyone on earth has the desire. But it doesn't translate to everyone contributing money or their life work to doing so.
That is a lossy, incorrect algorithm. Sorry, there is not a continuous mapping from one dimension that covers two dimensions.
> the underlying axiom here is that debate can be had, and that people can be convinced through reason

I take it you haven't seen Twitter (or Facebook, or Reddit, or even SE lately)? Or perhaps you're referring only to in person interactions here, but I've still never witnessed this outside of a STEM setting (and even then, not always).
That’s probably where Herbert got the quote. He studied a lot of mythos to write the books.
A tiny bit of googling revealed this article:
https://www.embedded.com/a-dsp-algorithm-for-frequency-analy...

> Engineers working in the field of digital signal processing often use the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm to detect tones, frequencies, signatures, and other events. In specific situations, however, other algorithms may actually work better than the FFT. ...

> Although most engineers would use the FFT, another, lesser-known algorithm gives you additional flexibility to specify both spectral analysis bandwidth and the resolution within that bandwidth and provides real and imaginary outputs from which you can compute spectral magnitude and phase. In this article, I'll introduce you to that algorithm, known as the Chirp-Z transform (CZT), and we'll compare it to the better known Goertzel and FFT.

And the opening paragraph from wikipedia:

> The chirp Z-transform (CZT) is a generalization of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). While the DFT samples the Z plane at uniformly-spaced points along the unit circle, the chirp Z-transform samples along spiral arcs in the Z-plane, corresponding to straight lines in the S plane. The DFT, real DFT, and zoom DFT can be calculated as special cases of the CZT.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirp_Z-transform

Sounds like a pretty awesome milestone to me. So, perhaps in the near future, new compression schemes might allow for reduced mp3 and mp4 file sizes, which means that for the same bandwidth we could see increased resolution/ higher frame rates.
> Even if GraalVM fixes startup times aren't JVM languages just too long-winded for scripting? Perl, Python and Ruby dominate the scripting world for a reason

Ruby is a JVM language, in that JRuby is a very complete competitive, current, and widely-used-in-production Ruby implementation.

> According to the SEC’s complaint, Telegram Group Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary TON Issuer Inc. began raising capital in January 2018 to finance the companies’ business, including the development of their own blockchain, the “Telegram Open Network” or “TON Blockchain,” as well as the mobile messaging application Telegram Messenger. Defendants sold approximately 2.9 billion digital tokens called “Grams” at discounted prices to 171 initial purchasers worldwide, including more than 1 billion Grams to 39 U.S. purchasers. Telegram promised to deliver the Grams to the initial purchasers upon the launch of its blockchain by no later than October 31, 2019, at which time the purchasers and Telegram will be able to sell billions of Grams into U.S. markets. The complaint alleges that defendants failed to register their offers and sales of Grams, which are securities, in violation of the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933.

The most interesting thing is that at one time I carefully read the prospectus and noticed that everything was perfectly done there correctly: tokens are issued in addition to certain securities that are issued strictly according to the current legislation, that is, the tokens themselves were NOT sold ... And It was not some former Russian lawyer who wrote the deal, but DLA Piper, one of the top 5 of approximately US legal concerns.
I would build a discovery system. Search systems imply that you know what you're looking for, it also implies a short query.

Imagine instead you start writing out your ideas in natural form. Documents will appear that are relevant to your ideas, but with the goal of diversifying category. Instead of the top 100 results, you may just get minimal results per category.

As you continue to write the relevant documents get more constraint, but continue to attempt to maximize diversity.

I don't know if this work for everything, but would be interesting.

Excuse the cliche question, but what is Life?

If we make an AI whose thoughts and communication are practically indistinguishable from humans, and it controls a bunch of things that affect the physical world, is it alive?

If there's a disembodied mind somewhere that can think and imagine but never communicate or interact with anything, is it dead?

What about a human in a coma or permanent dreaming state? What about when they later wake up?

Okay nevermind thoughts and communication; What if there's an armada of "dumb" robots, spawned from a single factory, that can't think, only acts according to preset instructions, but still goes on to affect many things for hundreds of years, what should they be classified as? Would they be considered "artificial" life or automatons even if they existed for thousands of years and their creators were no longer around?

I don't think there is any single absolute criteria to classify all possible entities that must be out there or could theoretically exist, but the answer to "What is life?" is probably this:

Whatever other life thinks is life.

For example, suppose you work on the Search for Android team, under Search. You might work to train others in Search and others in Android as part of the work on Search for Android. Those don't count as citizenship, because they are directly related to your work.

You'd have to mentor people outside of that area, such as mentoring new hires in general, not as part of your job role.

1) The last time this was posted seems to be a year ago according to a comment here.

2) The comment you're referring to was 1 out of 120, and it got flagged to death.

I ran into that "stopping from being able to delete your account" thing with regards to the SMS code to verify your account. Its definitely real, at least for some people.

My suspicion, however, is that it was an unintentional bug on their end. We've all seen this before in engineering. You're using some service like Twilio. You've got a TON of people trying to cancel their account at the same time, using SMS verification. Their backend trips a rate limiter or account limit. You don't handle the error properly, and the client gets an inaccurate error. Its a story as old as time.

I went through the drivers license verification just fine. Its totally possible that they're being malicious, but its just so much more likely that engineering fucked up and it was blown out of proportion.
Might be because YouTube only allows background playback if you pay for Premium?

This is not entirely unlike that. Somewhere along the way, everybody realized Perl 6 was not the path forward from Perl 5, and so Perl 6 never really took the place of Perl 5, just like PHP6 never took the place of PHP 5. It looks like a pretty similar scenario, if you squint, I think.

It makes little difference for Perl that this experiment in a next generation version of the language is still alive and going its own way. The result is the same...people kept moving forward with version 5, and if it needs a new version, it can't use version 6 because 6 was already used for that other experiment (that failed to take the place of Perl 5).
That's genius. Almost sounds like something that could be it's own Startup/SaaS. A marketplace of code 'assignments' that OSS projects need done, employer can 'tag' assignments that they approve of, then you submit your work to the employer/oss project simultaneously so both can do a code review of it, if you lose the job but it gets accepted by the OSS then at least there's that. -- The employer would be the only part paying $$ for the platform, but it could be tax deductible as a 'donation' to OSS perhaps.

Walmart Runs Clojure at Scale (2015)
The concept of life is not unique in this regard. One can form a similar argument for any concept whatsoever.

It's more useful to situate concepts such as 'life' at the center of constellations of other concepts such as 'self-determination', 'will', 'evolution', and so on.

Life is that which is subject to Darwinian evolution.

That definition catches every single thing you'd call life, excludes all the things that clearly aren't, disambiguates some grey cases, and illuminates one or two new phenomena to be life which you might not have realized.

To be clear, Darwinian evolution means:

- It makes copies of itself (reproduction)

- The copies take traits from the original (inheritance)

- The traits can vary among the copies and between generations (mutation)

- The copies' ability to make more copies depends on the traits they inherit (selection)
Please elaborate on both sentences, I don't understand.

Speaking as someone who uses Rails regularly, I agree - it is considerably slower than many other language choices. It probably isn't a good call for a performance critical bottlenecked service that can't scale horizontally.

For everything else, it's great, and it's almost always a good default to choose speed of development and engineer productivity over runtime performance.

The candidate then can raise 0 dollars from sources that is not the public fund. Currently corporations can give 500k or more, unlimited if they pay a Super PAC supporting their candidates/issues.

Why would it go belly up? WeWork’s S1 is an embarrassing piece of business literature but the company is fundamentally fine, unless they’re forced to both pay on future commitments and cannot collect the capital to cover them. They effectively buy a recurring revenue stream starting in month 9 or so, and pay some amount upfront to secure that future stream. Payback period of 18 or so months, then pure profit.
That sounds like it would improve engineering, not water it down. Information spreading between people like a DAG, rather than a tree. Unless the "mentoring" is bulloney.
Not only that, but in the context-switching overhead, the numbers provided are not appropriate to golang - because go's function calling convention assumes fewer registers are saved, thus reducing context switching overhead.

From : https://codeburst.io/why-goroutines-are-not-lightweight-thre...

"In Go, this means only 3 registers i.e. PC, SP and DX (Data Registers) being updated during context switch rather than all registers (e.g. AVX, Floating Point, MMX)"

There have been numerous fiascos including the Ticketfly data breach, tickets getting lost in the mail and sent without signature confirmation, and cancellation scams.

> It makes copies of itself (reproduction) ...

Again, what about species that don't reproduce themselves, but spawn from a single "factory"?

That factory may be nothing like them. It could be a mechanical factory producing automatons (with human-level thought if you need that criteria), or a universally-unique "mother" creature, or even a non-sentient spawning pool where they spontaneously form every now and then.

If there are entire planets populated by such entities, and they have governed over many things for as much time as we have occupied our Earth, would you still classify them as not-life in your dealings with them?

That would be like not considering Taiwan a country. (Sorry, couldn't resist injecting contemporary political commentary.)
