That is a correct understanding of how `await` works in Céu. What is important to note however is that all trails must have bounded execution, which means having an `await` statement. One abstraction that Céu uses is the idea that all reactions to external events are "infinitely" fast - that is, all trails have bounded execution, and computation is so much faster than incoming/outgoing events that it can be considered instantaneous. It's a bit like how one way of looking at garbage collected languages is that they model the computer as having infinite memory.

Having said that, the combination of par/or and par/and constructs for parallel trails of execution, and code/await for reactive objects is like nothing I have ever seen in other languages (it's a little bit actor-modelish, but not quite). I haven't looked closely at Rust though.

Céu also claims to have deterministic concurrency. What it means by that is that when multiple trails await the same external event, they are awakened in lexical order. So for a given sequence of external events in a given order, execution behavior should be deterministic. This kind of determinism seems to be true for all synchronous reactive languages[0]. Is the (single-threaded) concurrency model in Rust comparable here?

The thesis is a bit out of date (only slightly though), the manual for v0.30 or the online playground might be a better start[1][2].

[0] which is like... three languages in total, hahaha. I don't even remember the third one beyond Esterel and Céu. The determinism is quite important though, because Esterel was designed with safety-critical systems in mind.

They really are hyper triggered by Greta. Remarkable.

You know she's one voice out of literally millions arguing that we should do something about climate change? Technically Peta throwing paint at people and ecoterrorists are "in our camp," does that all detract from the facts of climate change?
I think it's perfectly legitimate to consider the MAGA hat a hate symbol. Specifically because of what it represents to American minorities; an implicit threat.

At one time the hat represented something legitimate but Trump's first term is coming to its end. The campaign has been over for a long time now. The MAGA hat is yet another symbol that the alt right appropriated for itself. It doesn't just represent Trump supporters and Republicans at large anymore.
Regardless of what he did or didn't do (I don't have any information on that), I find the phrase "we have reviewed social and video" concerning.

What does that have to do with the event and its code of conduct?
If you compare Go to C++, Go has gotten more organized but still retains understandability, and in my opinion, C++ has become unrecognizable. I did 10+ years of C++ until around 2012, and since then the changes have been so quick and so drastic I would not call myself an experienced C++ programmer anymore. It's a shame because I love C/C++ but not what I see today, because they have lost what makes Go great: an opinion. They are trying very hard to be everything and it has changed the language too quickly to keep up.
back in the days we were just working. we cared about technology. those in control cared for money. which was absolutely fine.

Women and people of color were systemically discriminated against. Companies ignored environmental externalities, or worse actively campaigned to spread misinformation about them to the detriment of us all. Cities were destroyed by anti-corporate taxation measures enacted by those who cared for money, and now the people who provide basic services cannot afford to live there.

If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?

Alright, I've spent a couple hours trying to figure this out. Correct me if I'm wrong here. Asking the "woke" individuals on twitter what Charles did wrong will invoke a response of "F you do your own research it's obvious what Charles did wrong."

Man A said something racist to Woman B, Charles then stepped in and said "let's have a reasonable phone call and sort this out civilly." What gets more interesting is Woman B has at least one tweet saying "White men in tech ain't shit." So she's definitely racist. edit: (could be wrong about who is who here, but someone involved in getting him banned definitely said the white men in tech comment.)

Charles is getting this hate because by saying to the "Obviously racist" man A, "lets have a civil phone call about this," He's obviously siding with racists instead of siding with the marginalized minorities. (sarcasm)

Charles is getting tons of comments that he should shut the F up and listen to these marginalized groups instead of trying to butt in and make himself look good. Charles is Mormon, 9 Mormons were just burned alive in Mexico, so obviously Charles has no idea what it's like the be a part of a hated, marginalized group.

edit: Sorry it's hard to tell, I'm definitely being sarcastic in parts of this post.

Opinion here, I think people on twitter are working very hard to turn "differing politics" into "unacceptable bigotry." And it's definitely working. It seems the original racist guy mainly has a problem with affirmative action. And he definitely doesn't use current politically correct speech around gender either. But is that grounds for banning a dude just for associating with the "racist guy". I'll leave that up to the reader to decide.
> A lot of divisions in America are driven by generations of policy based on racism - from redlining, white flight and zoning policies that changed the structure of cities and are now used as weapons against newcomers and change, to the very existence of many cities and governments that were created in order to be a separate white space from the larger cities nearby, and the use of these boundaries to avoid funding the basics of society for everyone (school districts, libraries, roads, etc)

I've got some bad news: when you solve racism, these problems will still exist. Because the elites will never want to live nearby poor people and zoning laws ensure they don't have to
If someone says they're going to bomb an event on Twitter should they be banned? Yes, everyone agrees.

If someone says they're a race realist and that they're going to make fun of all the black people in tech should they be banned? Not everyone agrees.

If someone analyzes IQ studies about race realism to highlight the flaws in methodology but doesn't outright condemn race realism should they be banned? No, everyone agrees.

To claim that its 1984 because we're trying to work out the fuzziness in the middle is absurd.

OK, I understand better. I was indeed thinking of whatever piece of code hits the metal last before kernel (including kernel actually), I see now that was badly worded in GP.

This does strikes me as an interesting perspective though:

> a bedrock of optimized and domain-aware numerical libraries written in a combination of Fortran, C, C++, handwritten assembly and some HDLs

So, we're talking lower level, from the kernel and above but below TensorFlow and Keras etc. I take it?

If yes, we're into systems by that point; it just so happens that this is Go's domain. Think of shrinking a 1000-brains 10-year cycle to a 100-brains 5-year or less (you may actually DevOps/CI-CD and sprint that stuff with Go like you would with most high-level's like Python or Js; a general "no-can-do" with low-level concurrent C++).

I may be wrong or totally out of my depth here, but I'm speaking of the library layer where e.g. in compute you'd see a CUDA-based industry versus whatever else (OpenCL...) take about a decade to unfold (and as much to move back); same in graphics, you'd see DirectX / OpenGL/Vulkan market penetration play over the entire lifetime of a GPU architecture (not 'gen', the core design like e.g. GCN).

I'm lacking the experience with ML workflows for sure; however the general hardware cycles and industrial market profiling seem to hold there as well (from GPU / TPU / FPGA / whatever fabrication, and the economics thereof; up to high-level software libraries and 'engineering muscle' that proponents of tech XYZ can push beyond marketing).

Where Go fits in that landscape is not so much versus a data scientist's Python but rather against infrastructure / Ops people's C++. Like Go is currently a strong candidate to refactor (parts of) the COBOL space, because it's basically 10x faster than in C++ or Java.

I'm thinking out loud. Don't quote me on any of this!

CBT is great. It’s a broad therapeutic framework that can be applied to address a wide spectrum of mental illnesses. Unfortunately, you are using both “CBT” and especially “dopamine” as meaningless buzzwords. One could just as easily substitute in Willhelm Reich's "orgones" wherever you mention "dopamine" and the substance of the article would be essentially unchanged. Pro tip, Cam: science is conducted in peer reviewed journals, not on LinkedIn and Medium.com
It's very possible they're telling the truth. Mass layoffs tend to be discussed only at the senior executive levels and within HR with strict instructions not to communicate downward, mostly for legal and anti-disruption reasons. Middle managers often only find out very slightly before their employees do. Of course, there will always be well-connected employees who hear of things ahead of time.
Isn't this a KIAM bug? The default configuration of any piece of software should not cause pathological cases in other pieces of software that are commonly used with it. Maybe I'm just a bleeding heart, but I think good software delights its users; the deployment and configuration story is a part of this.

"As fans of The Mote in God's Eye already know, one remaining question must be answered for any data storage method expected to last for millennia—what happens when the technological and cultural context surrounding a storage medium collapses? Silica addresses this problem also, by using initial "ground truth" tracks. The team is using machine learning algorithms to re-read Silica's data, and in the event of the loss of those trained algorithms, fresh algorithms can train very rapidly on the "ground truth" tracks, which teach them how to interpret the rest of the data."

I recently started practicing Teeline shorthand. It's a system for pen and paper. I might not even use it in practice but it's cool to learn by itself. It's pretty clever and sort of layered. Letters are the first layer, rules for connecting them are the second, then there are short notations for common words and word groups, then there are shorthands for common suffixes, prefixes and letter combinations. It is satisfactory to lets you make a shorthand even shorter.

That's interesting. You could imagine distributing wind farms in such a way as to try to minimize variance (while still trying to maximize overall output - there would be a trade-off).

It would be interesting as well to see what the overall variability of wind + solar + hydro generation would be for various distributions of wind + solar plants over North America.
That's a shame that they're going to lose their job but arguably they were going to eventually anyway from automation. That the Netherlands is doing this early just means we all get to benefit from learning through observation when the "what do we do with our citizens when we can't find work for them to do" crisis hits our countries.
Is this an issue on non-MAX 737s as well?

If not, and thus the affected computer system has been added in the MAX, why not design it properly with 3+ redundant copies of the system given that it was designed in the 2010s when both engineering theory and technological resources are plentiful?

I believe the Max will never fly again, at least not outside the US. The FAA might approve the final "fixed" design based on political pressure, but what international regulator will do that? So then you have a plane design that only the US considers safe.

The flying public in the US will naturally start asking questions. I guess airlines could offer discounts for Max flights. Then we'll see what level of discount is sufficient to get people on a plane that historically had a strong predisposition to nose-dive.
What one could possibly hope... Is to answer his own curiosity. Just that.

I guess it's interesting in that a branding startup failed to rebrand itself successfully.

It's clear that "Looka" is less clear about what it is than "LogoJoy".

I also think it may say something about startup branding in general. Brands based upon actual words may do better than trying to make people understand what "Looka" is.
MySpace was ages ago and it never had the financial might of Facebook. So that's not a good example of an oligopoly resolving itself, but I grant you that there are such examples (IBM for one, also Microsoft although regulators may have influenced that one).

Regulators had no affect on MS getting caught flat footed when it came to media players in the early 2000s which led to Apple being able to dominate the mobile phone market (in terms of profit) or Google in terms of volume.

Facebook didn’t have a ton of funding early on and MySpace was a giant. Apple was basically bankrupt in 1997 and was much smaller than Microsoft when it introduced the iPhone.

If Facebook does “monopolize” social media, it is both because people chose to congregate there and if Facebook doesn’t meet the need of people, they will go somewhere else, there is no need for government to tell people that too many of them are on one platform.

If people don’t have any other place to show off their idealized life and post cat memes, who cares? The last thing we need is more government power.

As far as the 30% revenue cut. The revenue cut for retail use to be 60%. Even during the j2ME era the revenue cut was 60% for the platform owner.

If it's only about the science, and the science has been settled for a decade, why do we seem to be getting nowhere? Might there be more than science involved?

It may seem that way, and to some degree it almost certainly is, but what if that isn't an accurate characterization of how it actually is? Might it be worthwhile to consider applying the same intellectual rigor that climate scientists use to the public psychology/discourse aspect of this problem, or is that somehow denialist, or something else? The suggestion always receives downvotes, I'd love to know why.

That's not really the point of the book, though (emphasis mine):

The state of the art high tech proposal is to grind everything to a powder, put that in a high temperature plasma furnace for demolecularization, then extract raw materials for reuse.

> Unlike race and sexual orientation, your political beliefs are mutable and the result of your choices.

We protect religion because it is a fundamental expression of deeply-held values and it is everyone's right to do so. Political persuasion is also a result of those values, and not mutable. You can't "just change" what you believe.

> Even moreso, the decision to wear a MAGA hat is a choice. There are many LGBTQIA+ republicans in America, including many of my friends. They don't wear MAGA hats at such events because they're not looking for conflict.

"There are many clean-cut black kids in America, including many of my friends. They don't wear hoodies and saggy pants in public because they're not looking for conflict."

If you replace a your chosen group with "blacks" and it sounds like something David Duke would write, you may wish to re-consider your phraseology.

Edit: the above poster deleted his comment, but I feel the need to replicate the text so mine makes sense. Here is what it said:

"I often help my friends organize and operate LGBTQIA+ events at hacker cons.

Someone showing up with a MAGA hat is rare, and when it does happen, they're either there to make a statement about free speech (which is fine) or to harass one or more of our attendees (which is unacceptable). So when it does happen, we have to be aware of it, but we don't take any specific actions unless they misbehave.

In the wake of white supremacist violence (see second link from my previous comment), not taking note whenever someone with a MAGA hat shows up would be negligent and put targeted people at risk. If you put "allow white supremacist violence against minority groups" on one end of the scale and "avoid any perception of 'political profiling' behavior" on the other, protecting the LGBTQIA+ community that these events serve is going to win every time.

Unlike race and sexual orientation, your political beliefs are mutable and the result of your choices.

Even moreso, the decision to wear a MAGA hat is a choice. There are many LGBTQIA+ republicans in America, including many of my friends. They don't wear MAGA hats at such events because they're not looking for conflict."
I think the point is that this was a real problem that happened because of combining k8s and aws, which is a pretty common scenario. And it underscores that the bug was hard to find - I'm not sure how many people on my team would be comfortable looking deeply at both GC and wireshark. It required asking "Why" a few more levels deep than bugs usually require, and I think a lot of developers would get stumped after the first couple of levels. So it's another piece of data just counseling that a proper k8s integration is not as easy as people might expect.

I also get the sense that that team has a better than average allocation of resources. Some teams I've been on, this type of problem would be the responsibility of one person within an afternoon, or with impatient product people and managers checking for status after that.
What grinds my gears about situations like this is that the people inventing and enforcing these so-called CoCs are never actual engineers, just individuals who have somehow infiltrated the engineering community and are dictating to its authentic members.
> Trump's first term is coming to its end. The campaign has been over for a long time now.

Long enough for it to start all over again in short order, though. And Trump may well choose to keep the "MAGA" slogan for his re-election campaign - last we heard, it was a choice between that or "Keep America Great".
Perhaps but I have my doubts about it being THAT specific CFOs views. I still believe somebody will be "moving on" due to how bad that whole thing was bungled.
It is on the Airbus, one of the control laws, see link above. It's still FBW though, so one might argue that "mechanical backup" is really what you want.

Another plus for physical books I've found is that I can remember where things are easier in a physical book.

Say I'm 200 pages into a math book where something is making use of a lemma that was discussed back around page 30, and I want to go back and refresh my memory of that discussion.

With a physical book, my memory of that lemma will include whether the discussion started on a left side page or a right side page, perhaps even if it was near the top or bottom or middle of the page, what diagrams were nearby, and about how far into the book it was by the difference in feel of the thickness of the stack of pages in my left hand and the stack of pages in my right hand when opened to where the lemma is.

In other words, with a physical book I get a sense of the content as being spread through a 3D space, that my attention moves through as I read, and my memory of the content includes where it is in that 3D space.

It's sort of like a physical book can serve as a kind of self-referential mind palace [1].

With an ebook, I lose the feeling of the information having a location in a 3D space.
