Quant trading strategy like Medallion Fund uses don't scale. That's why Warren Buffet has more personal wealth than Medallion Fund has AUM.

Outside finance, but similar business is sports betting syndicates. They can make 30-70% yearly return with low volatility. If you bet in 100 events per week and the expected return from each bet is just 0.5% (after expenses) you make consistent 30% return with very low volatility. If you make 1% per week you get almost 70%.

That's great return for the investment but the size of investment is typically limited to tens of millions. Brokers don't like it and close accounts when they notice them. There is increasing amount of work involved when the amount of money increases.

Nobody could have foreseen this.
For one: not transport oil. Use oil (and other fossil fuels) if and only if there is no way to use something else.

Or: change the system that builds these pipelines so the incentives of the entity/entities building and maintaining it have "safety of environment" as a clear and unambiguous incentive.

Control flow integrity is the group of techniques meant to deal with this problem. There are settings for Microsoft’s cpp compiler to enable them but the best way to accomplish this is with a hardware shadow stack. Intel cet does this but I’m not sure when the hardware will be available.
That's begging the question. You assume it's a given that the oil must be transported from Alberta to Texas.
It seems worth noting that this particular spill is clearly not in the area you're describing.

> The other part I don't get is the religious insistence against not implementing something like a "switch" statement.

Off the top of my head, something like a switch, but more general and a function rather than a statement:

def switch(key, opts_dict, *, default):
return opts_dict.get(key, default)()

or, if key is of a comparable but non-hashable type:

def switch(key, opts_list, *, default):
return next(
(o[1] for o in opts_list if o[0] == key),
default
)()

I can think of other simple variations to do exactly what is wanted in other situations; it's easy enough to code a specific tool for the situation with what Python gives you that, in the situations where a chained set of if/else isn't what is called for, it's trivial to whip up something tailored to the specific need. C doesn't have dicts or iterators or first-class functions in the base language (at least, with convenient syntax), so it needs special syntax to cover a much smaller space than what Python conveniently handles without special syntax dedicated to the problem.
I don't know if you are aware of that, but at the time Pascal started emerging, the exact same arguments were presented by foiks used to BASIC that having the ability to add your own "words" to the language would inevitably lead to a mess.

Why didn't it happen? Because programmers overall are reasonable folks. So, yes, in theory, you can define a factorial function and call it "Not_a_Cat" (technically, it is true), but nobody does that.

Similarly, giving the ability to define `X in Y..Z` makes code more readable if you use it right, not less.
In addition to the points other people raised, "simply" removing the GIL by changing the current reference-counting GC to do atomic reference updates will also substantially reduce single threaded performance; there was a PyCon talk about that.

See also Swift for another language whose implementation has performance issues caused by ubiquitous atomic reference counting.

Energy delivery over wires, if buried underground, mitigates this issue. Deprecating transportation dependency on oil safeguards against these environmentally devastating spills.
> I also feel bad for a playground like the one in the image: https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/1094dd57d6a80c1ae1fb131937de5....

Disagree 100%.

My kids absolutely LOVE that playground (assuming it’s the one in Hyde Park, London). It’s nowhere near where we live so we’ve gone there maybe 5-10 times tops.

But they love it, and beg to go if we’re nearby.

The main problem I have with it is that unlike the picture it can get insanely crowded, sometimes with a queue waiting to go in, managed by park officials.

Not sure why you think a fun ship discourages creativity. My kids regularly do creative play and role-playing anywhere, at home or out and about.

But it’s also just really cool and tons of fun to climb around on a giant (to them) wooden ship.
Not only that. They give them a paper trail that they made safety-focused decisions. That especially applies to administrators.

Honestly what choice do I have. I'm not particularly attractive. So I buy nice clothes to look the part. And take flak for it from family lol. They're not even that expensive. I'm talking 300 eur jackets. It doesn't matter much but I believe it does help. If it matters even once that I don't dress like a hobo it's a big win for me. But you know what baffles me out of prada bags, Rolex and Armani? Armani suits. To an outside observer they look like every other suit.

Ask HN: Rhetoric course to learn to report Grenfell/MCAS/O-ring risk?
Suppose you are an engineer who has identified what you reasonably believe to be a serious and safety-critical problem in what you are building. You have an ethical obligation to society to report that so it does not harm or kill members of the public. However, this can be a challenge:

- You don’t know how to frame the problem in a way that business owners will grasp the significance of.

- There is a highly-visible cost to fixing the problem, but the costs/risks of problem are not visible.

- People sometimes interpret technically-rigorous speech as pedantry

- Those whose lives are threatened are not key stakeholders.

And more. This set of problems is deep enough that I expect it not to be answered in a thread, though discussion is good.

Rate limiting prevents a specific IP from causing a successful DoS. You can log higher level information like county without linking it to a specific user.

Someone sweeps the floor in their workshops and needs the job. Ditto all the other luxury goods.
There are already many modern mitigations present to defeat the kind of stack overflow control of the instruction pointer that you're imagining -- stack canaries, DEP, ASLR, NX, and others.

Simply gaining control of the instruction pointer through a stack overflow as you describe stopped working a decade or so ago due to these mitigations.

There are a lot of comments like: "isn't it a good idea to integrate a smartphone with DSLR".

But it has been already done in 2013: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-Camera-DSLR...

Also https://zx1.zeiss.com/ is coming (not soon) with a fixed 35mm f/2 lens, a 37.4MP sensor, built-in 512 GB SSD storage, integrated Adobe Lightroom and wifi to share.

Also remember https://www.motorola.com/us/products/moto-mods/hasselblad-tr... and https://www.redhydrogen.com/

So, I don't think there is an obvious solution. Just integrating a mobile Operating system in a DSLR doesn't solve the underlying problems.

How many customers want to put a sim card in their camera to have a really convenient way of sharing to social media?

Do users really want to edit and grade their photo's on a 6 inch display?

How many users find the pocket size form factor of an iPhone outweighing all the photo quality advantages of a bigger lens?

So, maybe the conclusion is that these are different markets whereby the casual camera mass market will use a smartphone and prosumer and professional camera market don't have the same needs like smart image processing or sharing on instagram.

Oil is used for a lot more than transportation, even if it was all switched over to electric.

The only other viable oil transfer over land is rail or trucking, both of which cost much more, pollute more, and have even higher risks of spills and accidents.

To those who claim this technique is "extremely difficult" so would be any BS "technique" an individual person comes up with according to his own combination of moves in random sequence ...

The reason why "modern art" is about "abstracts," "concepts" or whatever dealers and fooled enthusiasts use is because this leaves room for marketing to BS people into believing it is actually "hard" Just notice the sales copies are as abstract as some of these BS paintings.

And if that fails you can always use shame "you just don't understand modern art you pleb" ... and sure just because your scribbles and splashes you tried at home don't look like Pollock's that doesn't make Pollock's technique any more "harder" ... I equally doubt Pollock would emulate your scribbles and splashes ... I doubt any great artist Velasquez or Rembrandt or non-artist would be able to emulate it either.

It's easy, once you perform a highly repetitive task very high number of times, you will start to follow a certain pattern as to save brain output.

Thus anyone splashing paints for such a long time would fall into his own "signature" routine. You don't need to use intellect, deep thought or inspiration.

And once it's legitimised by "specific foot distance" and nonsense like that that he (likely entirely randomly) and equations nobody will ever verify you can safely continue making money not worrying about other BS "artists" overcrowding the space.

> Patreon alone has >100k creators, right?

And how many are making a living out of their Patreon? Most Patreons I’ve seen are hobbyists making a few bucks on the side. Those aren’t careers, so the 100k number is meaningless. (In fact, I looked it up, and 100k is the number of “creators” making at least $1, or have at least one patron.[1])

Growing up in a working class family I never had access to luxury goods. In the last few years, thanks to a middle class job and a switch on my mindset, I had the privilege to be able to indulge in better quality goods than ever before.

After looking into high fashion brands and searching the internet I'm convinced of the following corollary: for almost any high street brand product, there is an equivalent or better quality one produced for a fraction of the price.

I understand the sentiment and the intention and there are many layers of this onion to unwrap

Formal wear unlocked some muscles your organization never even knew it had, and also some difficult conversations and investment dynamics which arose but were settled magnanimously enough and seem to have led to modest gains in morale despite initial skepticism and coercion / push & pushback

The point is you got to somewhere you didn't know you'd go and now you have a taste for how the world actually works that's ever so slightly outside of the organizational event horizon i.e. the collective comfort zone that keeps you all locked in to a shared inertia

I'd venture, not to harp on your example that the organization never quite reached the critical mass that would possibly have occurred had you followed down this road a ways, and perhaps the whole thing fizzled out after some new people got onboarded and the old guard began to drift away?
I'd argue kettles and toasters are not independent actors. A toaster won't make a decision if another toast is needed, it will not grab a slice of bread and then toast it.

But a roomba is really an independent actor and we already see problems with it (roomba companies collecting apartment layout data, pets feeling strong competition, people feeling rather helpless if a roomba doesn't clean some place or gets itself constantly stuck on rugs etc). Sure they are not big problems, but roombas aren't really big independent actors either.
