Concurrency patterns that are difficult to execute in the decades old codebase of Firefox, which also happens to be a browser aka nightmare of complexity.

The same environmental conditions don't apply to other software and it's perfectly possible to write blazing fast multithreaded software in C++. In fact that's SOP.
I still haven't figured out why "well it's just a misdemeanor" means the justice system totally gives up on that type of crime. Everybody discussing Prop 47 talks about this like this is an obvious thing to assume. It still looks to me like crime is being committed -- I certainly wouldn't go and commit it, anyway, because it feels like it should have very real repercussions.
Go ahead and compare rural US where all the guns are to rural Europe. Similar rates of crime and violence. Take out the major US metropolitan areas that have gun control and see what happens to your comparisons.

When you compare an island the size of Mississippi with 29 citizens of 250k population and a much larger homogenous population, historically weak self-defense and higher reliance on government, etc etc to the whole of the US - I personally don’t think that’s an apt comparison at all.

Why is it size AND population similar countries aren’t ever compared when making this “gunz are bad” argument?
I felt that Supreme Commander 1 had some of this, since maps were big enough that you'd have supplies lines, just moving units towards the front lines instead of ressources. If I'm remembering right, you could even set transport craft on a repeat route to ferry your units across the battlefield. Of course, once you had built new factories closer to the front line, the logistic issues tend to disappear a little.
Before these robot dogs were available, your main two options for reconnaissance of a volatile situation was either sending someone in who will shoot to kill if shot at or a robot with limited mobility (comparatively).

Now there's an option to send a robot with significantly better mobility that wont go shooting at people who shoot at them.

I think if this becomes more prevalent there may be less situations where the police move directly to dynamic entry (SWAT team going in). That may lead to less deaths in the long run.
There are exactly one-and-a-half points of his bio in the text (one being cut off halfway). The rest is a list of relatives. If that doesn't imply a judgement based on his relatives, it's just completely pointless.
I got an email from Amazon saying the 3950X was back in stock, 25 mins later, it was all gone when I actually checked.

You can have the best of both worlds. In some Smalltalks (like Pharo), the image is bootstrapped from the source code but you can still use image persistency.
That wasn't a wish. It was a warning.
After paying to colocate an old rack server and paying exorbitant amounts as a student, I now enjoy using pay-for-what-you-use AWS and GCP services.

A colo box can be great if you can amortize the cost among a dozen friends. Otherwise, I think your money goes much farther on AWS and GCP, especially if you know some basic cost saving techniques like reserved instances or not using instances at all (Lambda, Fargate, S3 and other on-demand services/their Google equivalents can cover a lot of needs nowadays).
>but atoms are on a discreet lattice locations

This is where it starts getting interesting. Where is the "location" of an atom? Is it the nucleus? Is it the electrons? Is it just the electrons which are localized to particular nuclei? Etc.

Typically the "location" has some uncertainty, both from thermal jitter and from the nature of orbitals as probability densities.
Any discussion about incremental UI should include Yaron Minsky's talk about Jane Street's OCaml framework, incr_dom from 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3xX37RGJKE

Incremental is essentially an implementation of Adapton from 2014: https://www.cs.umd.edu/~hammer/adapton/

There is a big upset coming in the UX world as we converge toward a generalized implementation of the "diff & patch" pattern which underlies Git, React, compiler optimization, scene rendering, and query optimization.

Two sleeper startups in this space that are going to make a lot of money are Frank McSherry's Materialize Inc. and Nathan Marz's Red Planet Labs.

The point was to give perspective to the redesigned map.
Agreed, though I have a feeling those cases would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
... glasses would fall under that scope.

It's not helpful to still be thinking in such antiquated ways like evolution through the fittest survivors. Humans have not done that for quite a long time, in pretty much every facet of our society you can find that.

As I said, genetic modification and cyber augmentation will be how we evolve moving forward. Advances in medicine has (and will) make worrying about evolution a headscratcher.

Here I’m using widgets as a synonym for the kinds of heavy industries we used to have. Reopening a steel mill or a tin mine is not something you can do overnight.

People forget that a factory itself is a sophisticated machine and operating it is an advanced skill that relies heavily on experience. A car factory is considerably more complex than any of the cars it produces, for example. Or, we never had a fab in Wales, but it’s a similar analogy. And then there’s the logistics, the supply chain, again a massively complex thing that is often overlooked. Maybe the factory had hundreds of suppliers and subcontractors, they would all need to be rebooted too. It’s a fractal problem.
This was in one of the blogs:

"...the sharpening desire among customers for a true cloud-like on-prem experience (and the neglect those customers felt in the market) made it more in demand than ever."

I think that's a good summary description.

In other matters I was went looking for the Rust connection (given a name like Oxide) and was not disappointed.
There are plenty of investors who think just having a large Twitter following is reason enough to invest.

I did something similar for a large-ish C# project and F#. The company I worked for was mostly an F# place, but we had a fairly large legacy codebase written in C#; typically we had the pattern of "if you had downtime or need to fix a bug in the C#, just rewrite the C# code into F#".

Annoyingly, at least with the typical msbuild pattern, you have to be using the same language at the project level, but you can have as many projects as you want per solution (it's weird). So it's not as seamless as the JS/TS system, but overall it's not too bad, since you still can mix and match somewhat.
What If Companies Get Big Because They're Better?
I would have understood "Patterson and Hennessy Have Started a Computer Company". But are we really supposed to know every former Sun employee?
Whether or not this is on the employer's mind, I also can't imagine risking getting shot over my $12-$14 an hour retail job.
Target reportedly also does this so they can wait until you accrue felony amounts via repeated thefts, and then swoop in with a specialized team.
In this scenario, the modern viewer pays slightly more per month, and yet still can't watch Star Trek: Discovery, because the list doesn't include CBS All Access. And first the modern viewer must have internet service. And instead of a single interface, it's usually a variety of different interfaces, with some guesswork about which show is in which one.

The big players will likely all survive, yes, but some of the smaller ones are likely to end up also-rans. Thanks to IP exclusives, we'll end up with 3-4 players in the market, for sure. Better? Worse? I dunno. Different, for sure.
The dirty secret is that for profit healthcare runs the rest of the world. The majority of new drugs are created in the US and nations that have government-run healthcare create generics by ripping off/taking the IP and creating cheap alternatives. This is the only reason drugs are cheaper in other parts of the world.

The R&D, which costs millions (and sometimes billions) still needs to be paid for by someone..and the government just isn't efficient enough to do this effectively and within a decent time frame.

The problem isn't for-profit healthcare. The problem is the insurance companies. They create an un-needed middleman that inflates the cost of everything. A better alternative would be to get rid of insurance for most things, allow doctors and hospitals to charge directly to consumers (which would bring the costs way down).

Surgeries would also come down in cost because of competition. The ones that don't come down are most likely because they are rare and have little competition. These can be covered under insurance.

What you are describing is a particular sort of story that's meant to inflame and probably speaks to where you get you news, which sounds like it's political and partisan.

Both of the things you describe are corporate policies. They have nothing to do with state law anywhere, and they are there because of liability. Safeway doesn't want to get sued for 1) if an employee is an idiot/racist and misidentifies someone and harms them 2) employees get harmed substantially trying to stop a shoplifter. In these cases you have rare and small losses that are miniscule compared to bad financial outcomes of intervention.

It would be easy to stop, but that costs money. It's a very simple business decision for retailers: is the cost of loss prevention higher than the loss.

The fact that this surprises you is surprising to me, this problem is many decades old in retail.

Car burglaries are a much different dynamic, and another poster mentions that it's a felony that was reclassified to a misdemeanor, and that law probably does need to be changed and is a problem for lawmakers.

edit: and can we raise the elephant in the room, which is that this is fairly solvable with a national facial recognition database and fairly low end iptv/image capture tech?
Mind showing me a camera that you can definitively say the government (or other actors) don't have the potential for backdoor access to?

I certainly can't.
The article makes little sense. It says

“It’s ridiculous that under current law you can have a video of someone bashing out a car window, but if you can’t prove that the door is locked you may not be able to get an auto burglary conviction"

So what? Surely you can still get a conviction for criminal damage (as it's called in the UK) or theft?

Its hubris to imagine that evolution stops. Mating opportunities are controlled by different things for humans vs fish for example. But don't imagine they aren't there, and guiding our species' development.

Homo Sapiens has evolved more in the last 50,000 years, than in the 1M before that. Because of civilization.
Pre-existing requirements for the seasonal storage of manure on dairy farms (primarily because you aren't supposed to spread manure in the winter) means that many dairy farms already have large manure storage lagoons/tanks. These are adapted into digestate storage tanks when the system is installed, although the additional food waste volume can result in additional storage volumes being required. What is nice about some of the manure storage tanks is that you can sometimes just add a 'ring' onto them to increase storage volume.

the digestate is then spread on farm fields using similar methods/equipment used to previously spread manure.
This is complete malarkey
I would never go back to commuting to the same place every day. It's cool that he does the coworking thing, but I've been working remotely for 6+ years fulltime (and I have other periods of 2-3 years at a time working remotely interspersed through my 20+ year career in software), and I would not give it up for anything less than a C-level role at this point. Most of the benefit to me is the lack of routine. Routine stifles my creativity. I don't want to go to the same place or do the same thing every day.

Why does everyone think this will help? Don't we already have more mental healthcare than ever before? Why is the assumption that even more would help?

What was mental healthcare like 30, 50, 100 years ago? Was there a lot more of it back then? Why do people attribute the suicide and drug use to lack of care? It seems like the most extreme dodge of actual issues to paper over it with yet-more-healthcare. For all we know, none of what we have already is really helping, and more won't help more.
Oakland has built less housing per capita than SF over the last 5 years, as mentioned in the article. Appears like a few big projects finished construction and 2019 was an outlier year. The article implies this bounty will continue by citing “15,000 units in development” but doesn’t mention that SF has 4x as many “in development” and many projects linger in that category for a decade and many never get built.
No, medicine is. If "healthcare" didn't offer alternatives to getting your shit together, people would either get their shit together, or die.

From past life expectancy stats, the former happened more than the latter.

Also, recent US life expectancy decline can be accounted for, entirely, by prescription opioid epidemic.

It's not just California, either. I live in MN, had my car window smashed out for a couple of bucks in loose change. The neighbor's doorbell camera caught it on video, but the cops didn't even want to see it. Just file a report, my insurance replaced the window, and it was mostly just a pain.

Most states exempt parents from such laws. For example Massachusetts law says

The right to steal unimpeded?
Depends on their need; I tended to move them to managed hosting, which used to reduce their hosting costs massively and reduce their devops costs. Hetzner for anyone with most traffic in Europe. DigitalOcean in some cases. Sometimes we just put caching proxies (external to AWS) in front of EC2.

I've managed racks for customers too, but managed hosting at Hetzner is now usually cost-effective vs. colo-hosting in London where I am. Since they also offer cloud services (though pretty basic) now, there's the option of mixing and matching.
> Im a hardcore conservative and believe upzoning is the best way to solve the affordability problem.

Removing zoning restrictions is arguing for the free market, and for reducing government intervention and in this case, as a liberal, I couldn't agree more. This is an example of government being used as a cudgel of the wealthy to beat back the poor. That's not what I want the role of government to be.
They're apparently doing hardware-software co-design for rack-scale servers, integrating some kind of state-of-the-art systems-management features of the sort that "cloud" suppliers like AWS are assumed to be relying on for their offerings.

Kinda interesting ofc, but how many enterprises actually need something like this? If there was an actual perceived need for datacenter equipment to be designed (and hardware-software co-designed) on the "rack scale", we would probably be doing it right and running mainframe hardware for everything.
This is why vehicles like the cybertruck are increasingly needed. If the government has failed to protect us and our property, then we need to have more hardened property and take matters into our own hands.
The Sievert
Your post is not medically accurate. PPIs are not there to treat people who have "wrecked their GI tracts by popping ibuprofen once or twice a day". PPIs are very useful drugs for people with GERD, whether that's due to anatomic differences in their LES, dietary concerns, stress levels, excess coffee or alcohol consumption, or side-effects from any number of drugs/treatments (including the one you mentioned, ibuprofen, but that's a subset of a long list of reasons).

Second, "every" office dweller is not on these drugs, that's a gross overstatement.

SSRI's are not even close to universally prescribed; they are known to not be that effective, many people do not take them but treat mild or moderate depression with psychotherapy, exercise, behavior changes, etc.

Regarding statins, they are very useful and have prevented a lot of deaths. They may be over-prescribed due to their generally safe and effective characteristics, however it's a GOOD thing to improve healthcare among the elderly (which is what is stated in the article).

Dialysis centers are popping up all over the place due to the rising obesity/type 2 diabetes epidemic, the drugs very much take a second-hand effect in that causal pathway.

You shouldn't spout off incorrect medical knowledge in an off-handed way. There are many uninformed people out there who may absorb this and propagate these incorrect views. Facts matter, science matters, as a healthcare researcher I can't let these misstatements go uncorrected.
It is not unreasonable to regulate platforms for the safety of its users. Background checks and ID verification flows can be automated, and are inexpensive in bulk.

"Gig economy" platforms already support this in various forms, due to customer pressure and local regulatory environments.

If we don't fix healthcare costs it'll be that in 5-15 years, just looking at the increases in costs year over year. It's strangling the economy.

After that we very likely have a (lack of) retirement crisis coming in, I reckon, 15-30 years. I'd guess there'll be a concurrent falling off of generational passing-on of wealth (inheritance) that'll compound the issue and ensure it lasts much of the rest of the century. This'll be way worse if all we've managed to do with health care costs is hold them at their already-too-high levels, rather than lower them.

The worst risk is that crises aren't always blamed on the right people/issues, and sometimes end up causing scary shifts in the politics of a state (watch as I carefully avoid Godwinning the thread)—I suspect the mobility of wealth and how much money is in the hands of effectively stateless corporations will make any such occurrence rather more interesting than it has been in the past in the US, e.g. the Great Depression, as incentives for various actors may not be aligned the same ways they have been. One hopes the phrase "feeding frenzy" won't apply, but it seems possible.
"This, to my mind is unproductive and rather transparent advocacy for an underlying ideological inclination."

And you're not ideologically inclined in the opposite direction?

Look at what is already socialized: fire departments, court system, police service, the three-letter agencies, military, politicians presumably?, a lot of education (despite student loans), a chunk of the health service already, road network, probably a lot more things.

I put it to you – given that so much related to the public good is publicly funded and given that examples from the rest of the world abound that public health services are cheaper why wouldn't you socialize the bulk (> 90%) of health.

Clearly, to my mind, the reason why it hasn't yet happened in the States is down to government capture, a.k.a. lobbying, a.k.a. legal bribery.
I don’t think US police would address the situation much differently if they had the same advantage in numbers.

You can actually watch dashcam/bodycam footage of police shootings. In situations where the suspect is armed with a bladed weapon, there’s usually an attempt to call for backup and subdue them with less lethal means. It’s just that there’s more often 1-2 officers instead of a dozen onscene.

Also note that, in the clip you shared, at no point does the machete-wielding suspect break into a full-on sprint towards any of the officers. In the police shootings I’ve seen, that moment is the one when police open fire, and rightly so: human reaction time is such that a knife equals or beats a gun within 21 feet or so. This is why you see the British cops backpedaling whenever machete man turns to face them—American cops have done the same in the footage I’ve seen. Also consider what would have happened if machete man here actually made an honest attempt to start killing officers. He would have been successful.

And it’s not like British police don’t use lethal force when it’s called for. Just look at what happened to the terrorist on London Bridge.

They are not imploring a right. I could make s citizens arrest under my rights but people will tell you, it’s a losing proposition because you subject yourself to other frivolous claims that take money and time to clear up.

So the reason people aren’t detained for police is because police will do very little in these cases because they are classed as misdemeanors. So why risk lawsuits, etc. when there is no upside?
