The article doesn't seem to say what achieved the speed up. If they take a larger time step, they've used a special feature of molecular dynamics or some other assumption to achieve that ('no free lunch' or some such)
The really strange argument is saying it is totally OK for people to willfully engage in activities that result in significant and ongoing fatality rates within the bounds of US law without punishment (slaps on the wrist for everything from willful pollution to opiods where the investigators were waved off) and then demand jail time for folks who have no fatalities within US law AND have an incredible safety record in their field, a record FAR FAR better then lots of other areas (drug distribution, medical malpractice, enviro health and safety etc).

If you wanted to reduce auto accident rates, opiod deaths etc you'd put these folks in charge, not put the law enforcement lobby in charge (yes, they will arrest lots of low level offenders but will not systematically address the issues and do not chase the folks at the top).
Not a lot, given that Clojure semantics are very different from Lisp semantics.
I'm not concerned about sometimes laggy scroll speed. That was a common issue with the first android phones. Not being able to use the camera hardware at all is something I hope they are prioritizing fixing ASAP. If it can't be used to take a picture (even a blurry one), I don't know if it could justifiably be called a smart phone.

I don’t think anything in our society stops from creating an organisation which could be responsible for creating open standards of running all of these cloud services ourselves.

Apart from nextcloud, self-hosted social networks and sandstorm - what else is there that solves similar problems?

So the question is why does it not exist yet?
So, is the Cell Danger Response evoked by a certain root condition that cells are suffering from? Like unsufficient ATP production? Have you heard of any theories about that?
Yeah, you missed something.
What he showed there was called "humility" and it's something you will more often see with people who are actually extremely confident in their skills. It was just a way of qualifying his statement to reflect that the operation of the simulator, which is variable, affects the outcome.

Of course he is an excellent pilot.
Very odd, to say the least. Why are two-hour advertisements possible on YouTube to begin with?
Deepest Shame
The authors are very liberal in what they consider as evidence for their theory. The first experiment, with the judges, relies on a sample size of 22, from which any sort of analysis of variance is pretty suspect--the partial eta squared effect size confidence interval at a = .05 ranges between nearly zero and more than .4. The second experiment has a similarly wide CI on the effect size. The article claims to have provided robust, data-based evidence of TMT, but the experiments that followed from the earlier ones must be judged in consideration of those earlier ones, which puts into question the coverage of alternative explanations.

Consider this claim:

"The major finding of Experiment 1 was that, as predicted,reminding subjects of their mortality led them to recommendhigher bonds for an accused prostitute. According to terror management theory, moral principles are part of the culturalanxiety-buffer that protects individuals from anxiety concern-ing their vulnerability and mortality. Transgressions againstthese standards implicitly threaten the integrity of the anxiety-buffer and thus engender negative reactions toward the trans-gressor. Inducing subjects to think about their mortality pre-sumably increased their need for faith in their values, and thus increased their desire to punish the moral transgressor"

The experiment, to them, is confirmation of their theory, but this hardly follows as a parsimonious explanation that emerges by eliminating alternative explanations.

Frankly, I find the article absurd, and I have difficulty taking the theory seriously. Then again, I only have an undergraduate's understanding of the field.
I agree, although you did say "reasonably" hard and it is popularly categorised as hard sci fi. The stuff about using entangled gigantic photons to manipulate signals to Earth was definitely absurd, but the discussion of the actual three body problem was more reasonable.

I dunno. I've never been a huge buff for the harder side of sci fi and Clarke novels seem to leave me cold, so maybe not the best judge of this.
The points you’ve made are cherry-picked. The USSR was an ally in the early 40s during WWII, but for the next half century we were staunch enemies who waged numerous proxy wars. We operate the ISS together, along with Japan, Canada and Europe. “Most of us” voted for Trump if you selectively ignore over 10% of the votes cast.

> It's still very OOP, but not in the sense of representing real-world taxonomies.

1. OOP was never about "representing real-world taxonomies."

2. Real-world taxonomies are often not very good at representing real-word taxonomies.

Programmers are highly susceptible to scientism, and it's ruined whatever chance OOP had of being a tool rather than an ideology.
This might be a little controversial.

I believe it's best not to invest just in a specific company or product, but in the founder.

Sometimes, the right person might have the wrong idea; and you might still fund it, just so that founder can get their feet wet and have more experience when they start working on their next idea, where you get first dibs because you funded them before.
> The world changed, women do not need your money or your protection.

This is a good thing, we men will need to evolve to what women desire if we want to be competitive in the dating market. Speaking as someone who has lost tremendous amount of competitiveness by moving to US.

> The fancy jobs do not matter like they did before, nor does having a ton of money.

Fancy jobs and tons of money still matter, just the bar is higher now. Cool jobs are also becoming desirable, giving men more options to pursue non-traditional careers.

> What matters more than anything now are your looks.

Look has always been important for women, the playing field is just becoming more even between the genders.

Yes, the dating landscape is changing at a faster pace than before, like many other parts of society. The answer is the same, evolve or become obsolete.
My team has been working with ClojureScript for close to 5 years now, and we haven't had any of these problems. Promises work just fine, you don't need any additional support for them. For example, this works just fine:

(defn parse-image-links [pages]
(-> (map #(js/Promise. (parse-page %)) pages)
(js/Promise.all)
(.then #(->> % (map :Images) (apply concat) (map parse-image-url) set save-links))
(.catch js/console.error)))

Here's another example working with async Ajax calls from re-frame https://github.com/ClojureTO/JS-Workshop/blob/re-frame/src/r...

Furthermore, we find that we rarely need things from Js ecosystem. Here's [1] a talk I recently copresented on an app my team built. I has around 50kloc ClojureScript, and we barely had to use anything in Js ecosystem for it.

> There’s a lot of finger pointing at metrics and complacency about problems, but the solutions are super vague

The solution is obvious, and not vague at all: stop over-relying on metrics, and stop pretending that what matters can in most cases be measured.[1] However, I think you dislike this answer (for reasons given in my other reply in this thread) so you are looking for ways to replace bad metrics with better metrics. Which is worthwhile, but not the immediate answer.

> just listening to first-person accounts (which is probably a bad idea if you actually want to help).

I didn't see in the article where anyone suggested only listening to first-person accounts. However my strong belief is that if you don't listen to and seek out first-person accounts, you have almost no chance whatsoever of doing any good in basically any kind of complex social problem, and a high likelihood of doing harm while patting yourself on the back because some metric you settled on is going up.

[1]: Edit to add: This implies not using AI/ML in some areas where it currently is being used. The infamous example of AI grading essays, linked from the article, is one of the most egregious examples of the misuse of ML for something that, to me, is unimaginably, breathtakingly, forehead-slappingly idiotic to give to anyone but people, and not just any people, but the people closest to the students whose work is being graded.
To make an analogy: a singer artist in his town used to be 'good enough'. Now he competes with YouTube and tours from 'alpha' artists in nearby cities.

So yeah, women can pick adventures with alpha males (especially considering looks) instead of a long term relationship with the average guy. This leaves almost nothing (ok-ish) for the average guy.

What's an average guy supposed to do? I'm genuinely interested in answers.

Sussman is still teaching SICP through his Adventures in Advanced Symbolic Programming [1].

The Python course happened clearly due to politics and popular appeal. Sussman expressed his disappointment about it multiple times. Abelson did the same in the interview that's linked in this thread.

It is sad but a good example of how far the academic institution has fallen in this century. Ultimately it is the students that really lose out.

While sticking a 110hp electric motor into a car might have some appeal, I am FAR more interested in putting it in a small plane. A Rotax 912 is roughly the same horsepower and a few pounds heavier. Using this electric motor as a replacement for that for short joyrides around the patch has real potential in the experimental / homebuilt crowd.

I have worked on native Windows and Mac UI, and in my experience, Apple does document most symbols. It just does it really poorly. So percent of symbols documented is not a good metric.

MSDN is much much more thorough. MSDN usually tells you everything you need to confidently call a function... Apple docs tell you enough to start experimenting.

Apple tends to have good textbook style documentation that doesn't directly explain a symbol per se, but rather explains a topic e.g. how to write network code on a Mac. But these pages are usually outdated... like 10+ years outdated.

These were not the "best efforts" to recover - stab trim cutout is a memory item.

Absolutely - Boeing is going to be designing much safer planes in future to accommodate different pilot populations. That is clear and necessary. This will make us all safer. Boeing obviously screwed up with a primarily US based mentality.

This system was PARTICULARLY fragile in the face of poor maintenance and reliance on automation - which boeing was unreasonably dependent given a US centric view.

Look into history of comets and concorde if you want to look at hull loss rates (note - both stopped flying forever when safety issues became clear). I predict almost no chance that the max will be taken out of flying forever.
That makes a lot more sense than the way you wrote it first :)

> Musicians and theorists struggled with this for years, coming up with various compromises that sounded good in some "keys" and awful in others, until math provided the ultimate compromise: base your logarithmic scale on twelfth roots of two and every key will be exactly the same more-or-less-in-tune.

This is inaccurate in two ways.

First, only keyboards and those playing with them, use a fixed temperament. Everyone else, strings, voices, brass, winds, adjusts the pitch of individual notes based on vertical and horizontal context. A c does not have a fixed number of Hz throughout a piece.

Second, math did not provide the ultimate compromise. Equal temperament was known as far back as the fourth century BC, and people were advocating for and composing in equal temperament in the sixteenth century. Rejecting equal temperament in favor of meantone temperings was a conscious decision, not a compromise from ignorance.

Evolve? Or, in more words:

When you are experiencing something you'd call "hardship"; first, go slower with yourself; then consider: Are you trying to become numb to something unpleasant or painful, or are you in an opportunity to become more than who you once were?
In re-frame you would dispatch a event to tell your application you need some data to be fetched. Once the data has been fetched (or received an error), it dispatches another event. So basically with re-frame applications, it's all events.

Also, I think the whole "callbacks vs async/await (promises)" is only relevant in JS, where callback-hell is easier to end up with. Mostly because clojure as a language (lisps really [I think?]) prefers very small, composable functions. So by just following that, you avoid callback-hell.

I'm also working on a clojurescript codebase in my daily work. Using clojure.spec to specify behaviour and simulate data for my reagent components. Transducers I have not have the need to use yet.

Regarding React Hooks, when using reagent together with re-frame, you basically end up with all components being state-less, and having the react hooks would just couple functionality to one component, so it's not really needed.
Cheap(ish) Things to Beef Up Your Digital Security
Planned obsolescence is wrong, and we are in agreement.

Having cheap (and therefore widely available) products that are hard to repair and may have short lifespans is generally desirable in my opinion, even though there are some ecological and worker rights issues.

We should be wary when we discuss what a premium brand is. Artificial brand tiers have led us to treat many mass market craptastic companies as "premium" despite them not knowing quality if it smacked them. Bose is an example of this - mass availability at a markup under the guise of a premium brand. But very few audio productions would depend on Bose products because they barely last in any kind of harsh environment.

> Then when a reader connects, instead of connecting directly to the nsqlookupd discovery service, the reader connects to a proxy. The proxy has two jobs. One is to cache lookup requests, but the other is to return only in-zone nsqd instances for zone-aware clients.

> Our forwarders that read from NSQ are then configured as one of these zone-aware clients. We run three copies of the service (one for each zone), and then have each send traffic only to the service in its zone.

Isn't this the default behavior of ELB/NLB to begin with? Why not just configure the zone-aware clients to call zonal LBs, instead of hosting your own LB? Same with Consul. I'm not understanding what benefit Segment gets from using Consul vs. calling EC2 Metadata API to discover the AZ and then calling the appropriate zonal LB endpoint...that's not hard to do and avoids many extra dimensions of operational complexity.

It's also unclear to me how all this migration to intra-AZ routing affects Segment's resilience to AZ outages.
I disagree. There is a huge section of the market that is not simply chasing the most physically attractive purchase possible. It is also the case that, despite the suspiciously homoerotic incel obsession with looking like "Chad" (cf. chin implant hypothesis), there's more to being attractive than looking like Chad and there's by no means only one measure of it.

Off topic: I appreciate your username!
J is one of the strangest programming languages I've ever tried. I would reccomend giving it a go, though I wouldn't personally write actual software in it.
I can understand where you coming from, Clojure developers take a lot of time to think and discuss what seems to be irrelevant (to the business) details of software engineering.

I can ensure that it's not like that at all. Clojure is a very productive language (see: focus on repl, clojure.spec and similar efforts) and also pragmatic.

If you and others have the feeling that it seems like a unproductive language, I invite you to take a closer look. Once I sat down and actually tried hard to learn it, it didn't take very long to get productive in it, compared to other languages I've learnt.
That's an interesting comparison. K&R did nothing for me, I honestly did not understand C until I read Harbison & Steele.

This is how it would be done in Java:

public void second() {};
public void third() {};
}

class Child extends Parent {
@Override
public void third() {}; //change implementation of third function, reusing the first two.
}
