Modern UI frameworks mostly try to offload the rendering to the gpu where just every pixel is rendered for every frame into texture buffers.

But of course that can be combined with diff&patch as well...
There is no "better floating point model" because floating point will always be floating point. Fixed point always has been and always will be an option if you don't like the exponential notation.

The editing menus are not totally responsive. If you don't mind some swiping left and right, then you'll be fine. But no, it doesn't have a specific mobile editing UI.
I'm actually surprise how many J/APL/K/Q solutions get posted there already. It seems to be popular among golfers.

> That is what you concluded from what I am saying. Why did you conclude that?

> Oh but look at those magnitudes!

You're saying again exactly what you're being cute about in the first sentence. Not much to deduce here.

> I did not intend to say either of those things. That's your interpretation. But again, why did you think that? My take: A good chunk of the population in the US is sold on alarmism and "something needs to be done".

That's interesting because your "take" completely ignores those suppositions you insist do not apply to you. It it CAN be helped, those who believe so would explore solutions: which one do you favor, and why?

> Great. Another non-solution giving the appearance that something is being done.

"Our calculations reveal that increasing rates of prosecution and conviction for DWI would reduce re-arrests for DWI and by implication drinking and driving more generally." -- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5472385/

It works.

> I'm disgusted by it!

You're disgusted by putting drunk drivers in jail?

> No matter, let's watch their backpacks for guns.

I never said I was in favor of the clear backpacks, not once. That won't deter anything. I do however think the ease of accessibility to guns is great among disturbed young people.

> Why aren't we discussing the resources these kids had, or didn't have, facing their adulthood?

We should. No one says we shouldn't. And yet, are you going to vote or write legislators to allocate resources this way? I doubt it. It's just another way to brush off the whole thing from cons who don't give a fuck and wish people would just not talk about it.
That's not a floating point.
To be fair, this is also done in every other STEM field, and CS is no exception.

We could all learn a lot more from each other if everything wasn't a contest all the time.
Of course the actual ML is not going to be faster in Rust, because the main tensor operations as used from Python are already written close to the metal. The cost of these operations is 99% of what it takes to run ML. Optimizing the remaining 1% is just not going to have a noticeable effect.

I tried to love standard notes but I had several times where note contents were overwritten or missing between machines. I looked at the API for syncing and it did not give me confidence.

Using pass + git now. Works great.

And %e always uses exponential notation. Then there's %a, which can be exact for binary floats.
That's really interesting - hadn't thought of that before. To fix that, would you be able to do a square of the magnitude comparison with the radius and just bump the borderline cases, or is it more efficient without the extra branching?
I think even for documentation it would sell it amazingly well if you can see sample GUI code and run it in the browser and try out the result, even if it's not interactive editing wise.
> Did you observe this in _all_ of the mentioned 35 students in your high school?

No. The one trait that was common to all of these students in my high school and in my daughter's high school was curiosity. The question "Why does that work that way?" or "How does that even work?" were common.

When friends have asked how to raise their kids to be more engaged technically with the world I have always advised them to feed their curiosity. Keep answering 'Why?' questions until you both have to look it up in a good reference. (Also answered the question for them why, in this day and age, did I have an encyclopedia set in my living room. Answer, to do tactile research and explore the world in real time with my kids.)

One of the selling points of working with an insurance broker is that they go out and get quotes from multiple insurers, and then you compare the various policies + prices and pick the best one. (Also why the process is sometimes slow)

It looks like you're taking a very different approach of not comparing options from outside insurers and working with a single insurer instead. Why is it better to go through you than a more traditional broker (ie. https://foundershield.com/)?
Serving model predictions via an API is a pretty common usecase for putting data science models in production. If Python's web service layer is slower than Rust's, that's a real concern even if it's not directly related to model prediction.
Is it a housing shortage or an excess of population in urban centers?

What are you going to do living like sardines in a can where high density housing has been approved if there is a high cost to scarce water/power/infrastructure and support services.
One of my favorite things about Perl 6 is that decimal-looking literals are stored as rationals. If you actually want a float, you have to use scientific notation.

Edit: Oh wait, it's listed in the main article under Raku. Forgot about the name change.
I'm sure this is true in your case, but seems overly broad. Sort of like saying 'No managers care about quality, and all are useless'.

Not sure, but I wonder if more nuance in statements like this would make them more persuasive. For some reason absolute certainty kind of turns me off.
Where does it say that free extensions are not allowed?
moxie-dom is compiled to WebAssembly, and mutates the DOM using APIs from javascript. The Rust isn’t translated into JS, but it does run alongside it. moxie-native doesn’t have anything to do with JS or HTML, aside from reusing some concepts from CSS.
> It's not important to most people

One can argue that nothing is important to most people.

The correct calculations involving money, up to the last cent, are in fact important for people who do them or who are supposed to use them. I've implemented them in the software I've made to preform some financial stuff even in eighties, in spite of all the software which used binary floating point routines. And, of course, from the computer manufacturers, at least IBM cares too:

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/decimal-floating-point-use...

Apparently, there are even processors which supports these formats in hardware. It's just still not mainstream.
"Burn it down" is not a solution. You've lived a life of privilege, in a privileged time and now that it's not going your way you want to end it?

Life goes on and it will improve. Incremental improvement is light years better then war and famine. Too many people are willing to block any improvement because it takes a dollar out of their pocket, when the alternative is destroying much more of their wealth.
No, but in general if you say to folks around here, "The idea of renting things is worse for people than ownership" all sorts of patriotism comes into play.
How is that pseudo-history? The history part is undisputed.

https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/how-turmeric-became-a-...
From the article:

> Programmable calculators manufactured by Texas Instruments, Hewlett-Packard, and others typically employ a floating-point BCD format, typically with two or three digits for the (decimal) exponent.
I think I'm with allstairSH here, sorry; I just didn't find piracy to be easier than paying for content. Your "all you need is a web browser" case is fine as long as there's something you can browse to that has the content you want -- and as long as the use case is something like what you want, which I think you said was watching stuff in a web browser on a low-end Unix laptop. My use case is very often watching on a 4K television in my living room. And, frankly, I'm not sure what piracy method is easier even in the only-web-browsing case for me compared to "browse to streaming site with desired content."
Wait, an entire office (presumably full of programmers) didn’t understand floating point representation? What office was this? Isn’t this topic covered first in every programming book or course where floating point math is covered?
Tiananmen Square 1989, comrade
I agree. That data should stay with their rightful owners - the data subject.

I believe that we have fundamental issues with personal data ownership in the web for two reasons:

1. People do not believe web is real life. In the physical world, it is very easy to see how your rights are violated. If there's a person following you for days (when you shop, when you buy your medicine, when you talk to friends), you call the police. The majority of users have no idea of third party trackers. They have no idea what (or rather how much) information they are emitting at each point in time.

2. People have access to amazing products for "free", and they do not know the price of their data. Imagine if you were given a TV, but you would have to babysit a boring kid 2 hours a day for years. I guess not many would want that TV. Force each company to offer two plans (legally): one free + (ads / tracking), one premium (no ads / no tracking), then see how much people care about their data.

A lot of the aspects of American law that are viewed as non-democratic were put in place specifically because of the balance between the power of the central US government vs. the governments of the individual member states.

Something most Americans, let alone non-Americans, don't understand is that the Federal government was a creation of the member states, not vice versa. Perhaps the best example of this aspect driving what currently appears to be non-democratic traits is the composition of the US Senate.

Every single member state, no matter how big or large its population, gets 2 senators. Most American voters (it happens to be left of center voters right now, but if it favored left-wing candidates, right of center voters would flip out) feel like this is unfair, and question why it was put in place.

The reasons hearken back to the creation of the Federal government. The individual states that had to cede their own power for a federal government refused to join the union unless the Senate was created, with equal representation for all member states, regardless of population. Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, and other states which are now ironically all left leaning politically, were concerned that the states with large populations, such as Virginia and Pennsylvania, would obliterate the concerns of their citizens in a purely democratic system. Hence the Senate, and as a side-effect, the electoral college system. Think of them as a geographic weighting, where each member state's power by population is limited or expanded to create a more balanced power structure.

Regarding the "USA has subverted democracies in its sphere of influence", while this has been true with certain nations (Shah in Iran, Saudi, Guatamala, etc) it has also not been the case with others, such as all of Western Europe post WW2. Nations liberated by the Soviets weren't actually allowed to dictate their own futures, unlike those liberated by the US.
A few months back I randomly ran across Cantrill, Frazelle, and Tuck while they were at a FedEx Center printing and signing some docs for Oxide. As a recent convert to Cantrill YouTube fandom, I recognized him and said hello. They were all tremendously welcoming and friendly, and Cantrill took a great deal of time to shoot the breeze with me about Rust, the plans for their new business, and the pain points of working with Xoogler architects (not in reference to Frazelle, I should note).

I've been watching off and on for their launch announcement ever since. Some of the reservations about their business plan expressed in this thread ring true with me, and yet I hope they will succeed in spite of it all. The last thing the world needs is an internet which runs entirely on computers owned by Amazon, Microsoft, and Google.
Exactly what are the rules for the "special comparison" in APL? That sounds horrifying to me.
My experience is that a work laptop is enough.

All the work code, emails, tickets etc. are on it and once it's closed for the day I it needs to fired up again to do any additional work, which surprisingly serves enough as a barrier.
I think you gave too much benefit of doubt to the CCP. The CCP can't care less about phone scams and frauds. As a totalitarian state having total control of the society, the government can track down the scammers anytime they want to.

There is no reason to believe the CCP does this to solve the robocalls or phone scams. It would be laughable to think XiJinping and his gangs put this issue on his priority list. The only reason is to locate every individual has a different thought against the government.

I like it, but would you consider toning the color scheme a little down? Or maybe be a bit more sparing with color? The massive field of bright pink smacked me in the eyes when I opened it up. A good documentation theme should get out of the way so the reader can focus on the text rather than the colors.
How many people have asked you how you got from cultural anthropology to being a developer?

I have a doctoral degree in cultural anthropology and get asked constantly how I made the switch. I'd love to hear your story. . .
You can also think China and eastern bloc. What people want is not high density housing but high density luxury living. Every home is no less than 1200 sq ft and two cars and 2 kids if it’s a family..and a million dollar. This is not sustainable high density. It’s a scam.

You can’t compare Asian and European (i have lived in both places)high density building to what is touted in the Bay Area.
Interesting, I searched for "1.2-1.0" on google. The calculator comes up and it briefly flashes 0.19999999999999996 (and no calculator buttons) before changing to 0.2. This happens inconsistently on reload.
YC companies are promoted once in a while and those posts are clearly marked, with a prefix like "[YC S19]".
> Few or none have made it the default because they're ignominiously slower than binary floating-point.

You can strike the "none". Perl 6 uses rationals (Rat) by default, someone once told me Haskell does the same, and Groovy uses BigDecimal.
I wouldn't call Gates "beloved", at least not in all circles. I consider his work with his foundation as basically table stakes in society for someone who has made his fortune from illegal, anti-competitive practices that damaged an entire industry.

Beyond that, while I'll certainly admit that government has a ton of problems, I'm not sure that the best model for funding -- for example -- research into various diseases is to put decisions under the control of rich people in the private sector, no matter how "reformed" and generous they seem. Or that super-rich people deserve to have praised philanthropic legacies because they managed to game the system during some point in their lives at the expense of income inequality and unfair markets.

Granted, Gates doing good with his money is orders of magnitude better than him sitting on it doing nothing, but I don't think he deserves all the praise he's been getting, given his background.
How about differential privacy?

it's also a range-storage trade-off. if you use two fixed width integers to represent a rational, the minimum and maximum values are the same as that of the integer type. floating point gives a far wider range for the same number of bits.
Looks like the last release was in 2017. Eight years of releases is a relatively good run. May be of interest to those like Oxide, who are considering similar paths, with the added complexity of firmware, BMCs, roots of trust and OCP-style hardware.

FWIW, I use DDG and an image search of "filled torus" with "Safe Search: Moderate" doesn't return any porn in an attempt just now.

It does seem to treat "torus" and all uses of "tori" as synonyms, giving lots of images of people named Tori, or taken/written by people by that name, rather than more-than-one-torus.

Google Image Search doesn't make that association between the singular and plural. You'll need to search for "filled tori" to see plenty of people named Tori.
