Beating benchmarks is always fun, but I think the ergonomics of the solution matter a great deal.

That is to say the words we use matter: I'm excited that Haskell, and OCaml (and so on) have efficient solutions, but I'm extremely disappointed that the best implementations look nothing like the "obvious" approach.

Maybe that's to be expected, after all an "obvious" implementation in C that pumps getchar() all day will be pretty slow, and experienced C programmers will do their own buffering and threading to win -- and that doesn't look like the "obvious" one either.

And yet, in k/q the "obvious" implementation is the fast one. That's cool, and way more cool than you might realise as long as you think coding is hard.
Mass shooters do not have a legitimate place in any first world system of governance. Every country treats domestic terrorists the same way, regardless of whatever other solutions for the underlying problems might be attempted.
But you have identified a root cause that wouldn't cause the problems you are observing.

If I changed things (eg, for sake of argument, a highly effective welfare program combined with non-transfer-payment spending cuts and a tax cut to the wealthy) inequality could increase and the problem could go away at the same time.

So the root cause is somewhere in the direction of 'people can't comfortable, secure and resourced'. That isn't related to inequality - people can be safe, comfortable, resourced and unequal.

Root cause has a specific meaning; I'm basically saying I've done root cause analysis professionally and you havn't actually picked a root cause. You've picked something closer to a guess at a solution.
Warm/cool color theory predates the kelvin scale, so it might be more accurate to say you feel Celsius' flipping his original scale was the screwup?
But as how it is now makes that much more sense, and since you couldn't really have a kelvin version of such a thing anyways, maybe chalk it down as just one of those things.

In any case no one could convince me to call the color of fire and the sun anything but warm, and that of snow and sea cold.
The latter. I’m attracted to the Icelandic culture as well as the landscape. I mentioned Reykjavík specifically because I assumed most dev jobs would be there, but I really just want to move to Iceland, haha.

I wanted to help health in the US but here's a perfect example of why we're in the situation we're in: obesity is rising in the US. Most of obesity occurs because of preventable life decisions (I assume free will here) in the sense that by changing some decisions you can become not-obese. If you're obese, you're at risk of a number of diseases that can be prevented by becoming not obese.

Gilead, a successful biotech/pharma, among others, noticed that with rising obesity,there were a number of dieases increasing in prevalence (NASH is an example). They chose to try to develop a drug for NASH, spent billions to come up with promising leads, then they failed in stage 2 or 3 (last steps before approval).

When companies spent billions on drugs, and they fail, that cost is eaten, the company doesn't make much less profit, it just factors those costs into other drugs, mainly in countries where they expect people can afford higher drug prices.

I don't blame biotech/pharma (who are driven by profit motive) for chasing expensive drugs that don't address the underlying problem, but if the equivalent amount of money had been instead spent on simple methods to reduce obesity. Who is going to spend that kind of money on general health improvements without a profit motive (other than, say, our government)?

All the above is a great simplification, but it's an example of how we got into the situation we are in. We tend to go for high-tech patches of problems rather than root causing, and it seems tied to the profit motives of companies. Ultimately I think only the government is capable of addressing structural issues like this, either by funding the research and orgs who deal with root causes, or by making laws that incentive good behavior in biotech/pharma.

Social Cycle Theory
Reading through Cold War-era plans for post-apocalyptic Britain makes me shiver. The idea that any of the broadcasts talking about "stay indoors, no help is coming" and "the water you have may only last 14-days or more" could one day come true is truly terrifying.
What alternative solution actually fixes this, though? All you can really do is build more housing (to fix housing undersupply caused by the excess office space) and limit growth of office space (to prevent the imbalance from getting worse).

The fact that companies can open up offices somewhere else shouldn't be very surprising, and it shouldn't be shocking that people will choose to live where they already live unless their commute gets too long and they can afford to move.

I just don't see what you expect SF leadership to do about this that doesn't fit into the two categories I mentioned, other than give up.
https://darkreader.org/ works really well, in my experience.
The question is a bit foolish: "Is [insert softkeyboard application here] basically a key loger?" -- well, the softboard itself is the key generator, if you want. By definition, it has control over all input. By definition it can do anything it wants with it.

If you don't trust Google, don't use Google software. A LineageOS installation doesn't come with the GBoard but instead the plain Android softboard which is the same without the fancy features (i.e. lacking Google search, image search, etc.).
I think it comes from wanting to do things "right." Sloppy design is highly visible and frustrating to an engineer (hardware or software), and we want to avoid that. It takes some more experience to realize that hyperfocusing on a single optimization misses the big picture and hurts other important factors.

Thank you. It's very interesting.

In the Windows 3.1 days I had some interesting problems when importing data into an MS Access databases that would contain reports for our senior execs to read while offline (the web was not a thing back then) and import throughput slowed down to a near-halt after 30 megs of data or so. Our solution was to do the import in chunks, and defragment the database between them.
Both things can be true: NIMBYs are contributing to skyrocketing housing prices (and thus a growth in homelessness), AND essential city/county/state services require tax dollars.

I can think of plenty of things that SF locals complain about when I talk to them that would be mitigated by more tax dollars spent by the appropriate agencies. If your argument is that SF local government is a black hole that spends 0% of its tax income on important programs, then that's another matter but requires a bit more support...

I literally can think of the entire code base as a single document. It happens to be multiple records in a database, but that's not intrinsic to it.

In the same way, i can literally think of my legal documents as a single document (say, a visa application) with multiple files (say, a petition, a copy of my wedding certificate and a reference from a friend). [Ironically, this language is precisely the reverse of what you would say with the printed copies.]

When they're printed out you can't tell what the boundaries are. Don't get confused by the implementation and the abstract concepts. If there's a distinction that doesn't work well, you can change it. Maybe version 2035 of Word stores every paragraph in a separate file inside a zip archive. There's no reason Generic Version Control System 2038 couldn't be written to peak inside those archives.
Our partners are very happy Grafana users. But I've observed some pain when they construct dashboards and alerts for each new device added. They are going to add thousands so this is very labour intensive! Some kind of "smart clone" would be very useful.

Yes, social cycles are definitely a thing empirically, historically. The learning curve over humanity's civilization is tedious, hard, but we're making progress overall. We have reached a situation where some actors, being super-massive, have enough data and tools to effectively move social behavior —a long movement from 'States' (whatever the name) since immemorial centuries up to big tech in the 21st.

I think the future of social sciences is there, currently tightly secured intellectual property and datasets in the beating core of giant tech. Those who command enough of that elusive 'power' are now capable of shaping humanity to an unprecedented degree.

Like any tool, neither good nor bad but what we make of it...

Ouch. I'm generally in favour of having add-ons signed, but I do have an extension that injects an external script into the browser and web pages - for a completely non-nefarious use case.

I do understand the security risk and why they'd block it, but I'm not looking forward to the day my extension is no longer flying under the radar and gets pulled.

Edit: Of note is that the Chrome web-store does allow my extension, but requires a multi-week review every time I upload a new version. Somehow they're fine with the remote code, even though it could change after their review.

Lower the cost of building housing. Streamline permits, zoning, and environmental review. Publicly commit, in other words, to driving down housing prices over a decade. (Note: not land prices! That’s the compromise.) This makes it cheaper to...

Build enough shelters for the transient homeless population. Now that they’re a stable problem, we can focus on the gritty bits.

Fund mental-health intervention for the permanently homeless so afflicted. And there has to be an element of coercion. Leaving the mentally ill to waste on the street isn’t compassion, it’s dereliction.

Fund drug-addiction intervention for the permanently homeless so afflicted. Carrot is clean places to use, seek counselling and get preventative medical care. Stick has to be arresting (and preferably transferring to clinics, not prisons) public users of hard, illicit drugs.

With the above in place, encampments can be humanely cleared and/or relocated. It also lets law enforcement tackle the minority of the homeless who are threatening, violent or thieving, a minority that creates most of the problems for other San Franciscans.

(Oh, and regional transit co-operation. If you make it easier for people to get around the Bay Area, they don’t have to stack up on each other. Why is the Caltrain a single trunk? Where is the network of every-fifteen-minutes ferries? Why is the BART so loud and expensive?)

The CDC report[1] that the article cites contradicts your statement.

Life expectancy, both sexes, at birth:

2013: hispanic 81.9 white 78.8 black 75.1

2016: hispanic 81.8 white 78.5 black 74.8

Delta: hispanic -0.1 white -0.3 black -0.3

I would say that the decline has affected blacks equally, but considering their lesser overall life expectancy this otherwise equal decline has a greater negative impact for blacks.

Did you just use Go, or did you write your own Go implementation including its goroutines run-time and then write a web-server on top?

Because if you did just use Go, in Rust you can just `cargo add actix-web` (or `tokio`, `hyper`, `async_std`, or any other goroutine-like run-time) and write a multi-threaded web-server in approx. one line of code.

What the Rust book example shows is how to implement what the Go language uses inside its run-time for running goroutines, which is a much harder thing to do, and very different, even though that's something that every good web-server uses somewhere in its stack.

Learning Rust by using `actix-web` to build a simple web-server is ok, but learning Rust (or any other programming language, really) by implementing `actix-web`, is not a very efficient way of learning the language.
That is exactly my view too. You win by being better than whatever else exists at the time.
The article is interesting and raises a good point, but I don't think it really solves anything.

With the right perspective on (understanding of) your mental processes, deep, useful, questions like this cease to exist. They are solved.
I've had success recently with subtle self-control over curiosity and motivation, and the way to do it is just as simple as it intuitively feels.

Reconfiguring your brain to follow through on your stated goals is a simple process over time that relies on simple goal-setting and reward. You set up a system of trivial goals, always at whatever pace you enjoy, and expand their novelty and risk factor. Being very simple and increasingly binary, this process can easily crystallize in your physical brain. Yet it is ever expanding in complexity as you become excited at your progress in broadening intelligence.

This is the kind of thing that some will want evidence for. Those are the ones that won't be able to make use of it. Follow intuition; only you can convince your inner self of truth in progress. Science is only a semi-precise tool for helping this process, as the controls of any experiment are infinite in reality.

The core claim of this article is that this is not why 80 was picked though
The flaw in these over zealous mind- policemens arguments is that they say will be no other way to tell what someone is doing without reading their texts and phone data live.

A beat cop knows there are many "tells" about what someone is doing. Similarly, one has to commit several crimes leading up to a terrorist act. Catching those before hand crimes is an effective way at stopping the final act.

And who is going to be investigating all the people with keywords in their texts? There are not enough cops in the US to do that.

If we use the net, there's a government file with a rating on how dangerous we are.
