Thanks for taking the time to submit a lengthy reply Morten and I wish y'all the best of luck in 2020. I don't use APL/J/K professionally, but have played around with it for fun and found it to be quite enjoyable.

I keep up with Dyalog's twitter and conference videos, but wish there was a little more in the way of beginner material. The recent video on using the CSV/HTML/XML/JSON calls was great btw.

Two questions I have revolve around performance, numerical computing, and program distribution. To me, having to use Python + Numpy, Matlab, or low level languages for scientific and numerical computing is a shame as APL is basically math notation and should excel here. I hate wasting time writing loops (I parse lots and lots of text files) and how it makes my code harder to view and keep up with (APL fixes this). However, will Dyalog ever invest in writing some libraries or code snippets or primitives for things like sparse matrices and matrix factorizations that I probably don't want to implement myself and that make more sense to be done by the language implementers in C (I guess similar to how Dyalog has native support for JSON & CSV)? I'm guessing you can call out to BLAS/LAPACK (like J) or use Python or R's libraries via APL's bridge libraries, but that defeats most of the reason why I would want to use APL to begin with and I would end up with a franken-system and would be better off just using Python.

I guess what I'd like to see as a user is a way for me to write APL code in a tacit manner (I really like the organization of Aaron's compiler) and the compile it as a binary that could be shared with other users at work. It would be nice to have some built-in scientific primitives. Honestly though, the licensing is the real problem last I checked. It seems like running in production would be a non-starter, so I could only use as a single user tool (probably not worth the fight). I know this might be counter to how y'all currently make money, so I'm not exactly expecting a response on this note, but felt you should know what the few deal-breakers are from someone who has considered using it professionally but has shied away.
Why wouldn't these groups for which Yahoo seems to be a critical service have done this work weeks ago? Either it's important and you make an effort yourself, or you do nothing, which clearly indicates that it is not important. I'm having a hard time getting worked into a lather over this one like it seems everyone else is - it's been announced for 2 months - ample time to save what you needed.
> You started with "your system is bad because of the one thing that happened 80 years ago"

I did? Strange, but those quote marks are around something I've never said or written.

> I don't think "cleared out" is the right word. The war killed indiscriminately, and only 200 or so were sentenced to prison. Removing those people from power, let alone the country, would have left to few competent people to run a government.

"Cleared out", while being something I have actually written - in this thread even! - is the correct phrase because it's what happend after the war in an initiative termed denazification. 400,000 Germans were interned[1], which is a tad more than 200.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the mass estimates increased? either way, that should only affect how many that can launch at a given time. I didn't think that number had changed appreciably either.
The archives are not easily indexable by search engines, they're posted as multi-GB gzip-compressed WARC files.
I don't see this as a big loss, and if I were someone who'd posted on Yahoo Groups, I'd be happy if it all disappeared. I don't consider this kind of content something that should be durable and everlasting. It's ephemeral conversation. If anything worth saving comes of conversation, it should be converted to another form and saved.

I'm glad I'm old enough that most of what I wrote on message boards as a teenager and young adult disappeared long before archive.org and similar sites existed. Conversations shouldn't last forever.
I hated my high school but loved my university. If I ever have cash, I will happily donate to the uni. Maybe his experience was the same.
at least in the US, micro-borrowing didn't take off because its already easy to get credit.

What is concerning is that micro-lending for e-commerce is taking off with services like affirm, which looks like a dangerous economic signal when people are using it to finance purchases under $100 dollars.

basically any major boost in micro-lending in the US would be a warning and not anything to celebrate.
One man’s public toilet block graffiti wall is another’s Library of Alexandria. Let the historians and journalists decide what’s important and the archivists take their best crack at saving it.

I write a lot of historical content and often the most useful stuff I find—for example, old flyers or ads from the 1950s or 1960s—would have been considered trash by someone at the time.

So an archivist’s job isn’t to make a judgment. It’s to protect the data as they see fit.

It's not. I have been depressed. Performing depression and being depressed are two very different things. The folks that are constantly online and constantly touting their depression are really just putting on a show for everyone else.
I agree re your 2nd point - a company can be a horrible employer and make tonnes of money; indeed, many companies exist within that realm. That is why regulation is important and if there is any gripe with modern day capitalism, it is the loss of union protections and the failure of regulation to keep up with worker protections (particularly for companies like Uber, Airbnb)

I am not trying to validate any culture. I make this clear in the piece too - I've got no idea about Away's culture and dont have any data points other than the 'Verge piece'. But I do have friends who work at startups/investment banks/hedge funds/consulting firms and naturally work and workplace oddities is something that gets discussed among us often. My point being that such stories can be constructed about any employer if the complaint is of the type 'We've got a passive aggressive boss who doesn't respect work-life balance' Hope that clarifies where I'm coming from.

What's an executive? C-level? Some places everyone is a vice president, right?

It occurs to me that the Fortune 500 is not the S&P 500, so I would question whether information about them is necessarily even as accessible as with a public company.
The archiving scripts have been under development and testing since Yahoo first made their announcement. The plan was to get as much manual labor (volunteers solving CAPTCHAs to join groups) done while waiting for the scripts to be stable, reliable, and automatable.
Oh, neat, that's a pretty interesting read. Also good to know people will be able to keep their phone number after this.
My analysis strongly suggests costs strongly track with income levels. Relative Prices rise with income, but purchasing power also rises, so it's not necessarily less affordable relative to incomes actually earned domestically.

https://randomcriticalanalysis.com/2019/12/03/no-means-no-th...

Some people may prefer a regime that offers more insulation (socialization) from the true costs (generally overstated IMO), but that's something of a different problem with different potential solutions than the popular notion that US prices are inexplicably high or outcomes inexplicably bad where we're (presumably) likely to win-win-win if only we copy the regimes found elsewhere.
Which is ironic, because that was the original use of MDMA to begin with. It started as a therapeutic drug.
I wonder if they're actually deleting it, or just making it inaccessible to the public?
There isn't one. The only source is the hivemind of systems programming elitism. I've seen it permeate every systems engineering shop I've encountered.

It seems like this is overestimating what the economy could produce back then. I mean, sure, there's a lot of land and basic agriculture (though not much variety). Money back then wasn't useful for buying what we can buy today, so how do you really compare?
I think it’s funny that the “Censorship Failures” section only includes instances where sensitive/classified info was published, and zero instances of improper/unconstitutional censorship. I suppose there weren’t any? /s
We’re not compatible.
Could be interesting with a twist: none of the eco doom came true, but the adherents gained power in the run up years. So climate deniers are hunted down because they break a provably wrong orthodoxy. Much like the journalist who use to work for Newsweek but left because of he’s not allowed to publish evidence that the gas attack in Syria never happened will commit suicidal next week by two gunshots to the back of the head.
Not to worry, he also doesn't donate to his university.
A lot of people complain about it but I like the 3D effect on the (new) Nintendo 3DS a lot, even after using it for quite a while.
I’ve taught all of my kids to maintain a checkbook, get receipts, understand paying bills and understand income versus expenses.

There is also this lost art or changing a tire, oil, checking fluids.

Civics wasn’t around when I was in high school but I remember my grandparents and parents had taken something similar.
Not withstanding the former part of your argument. The latter part is mistaking their current response with inability in a way that appeases the world and keeps the pseudo democratic facade believable, with actually being unable to control by force.

We haven’t seen yet whether they can or cannot. But if to judge by the fact China still is a country ruled by one party for decades, a position that was achieved by powerful quenching of dissent - I wouldn’t say it’s likely that they’re unable to deal with protesters. No matter the size.
Don't most people who attain the highest levels of executive positions peak around 60-65, i.e. near retirement age? Without definitely knowing the typical age of a CEO, that's my stereotype. And the candidates for president of the US seem to be trending even older these days.
The lack of all these added features is the feature of JSON. Just use Toml or Yaml if you need more features and don't like quotes.

Also need to appreciate the immense cost of splintering off yet another data format. The value of common formats is that even if it's not ideal for any of our individual needs, we're at least all using and maintaining the same tools.

I think where experiments like this shine is when you're doing some limited scope personal project. Like I'll probably use this for a few days of Advent of Code to see what ideas stick.
That is one of the thing I like about vue.
Things like this story, epigenetics, etc. should really have us questioning our understanding of gentics. We don't seem to be as static and unique as we thought. There seems to be more going on here. More yet to be known.
I'll give you that. I wasn't thinking of a load spike, just that of the perpetually continued service.

But it doesn't excuse much. Capt. Obvious says, "it's temporary, it could have been anticipated, 'protecting' their datacenters from the load in exactly this way will almost certainly be interpreted as ill will, there are options not being taken such as throttling or even voluntarily sending it all to archive.org"

Yes! I like to think my life (relationships, work performance, hiring, firing, well-being) would have been completely different had I known about and understood attachment theory. (I have only learned about it in the last few years.) For me, it explains nearly everything in psychology that has been unclear or mysterious.

My go-to reference is

Attachment Disturbances in Adults: Treatment for Comprehensive Repair by Daniel P. Brown PhD & David S. Elliott PhD. [0]

It's a dry academic text intended for therpists that details the development of therapeutic approaches based on attachment theory, as well as specific treatment protocols for various insecure attachment styles.

Change is possible, as is working with people who have attachment difficulties.

George Haas, a meditation teacher in LA, has developed a way of using Vipassana meditation as a method of self-therapy.[1]

It's pent up emotions and feelings which flow freely after the drug has removed any blocks. That's the therapeutic part.

> In follow-up psychotherapy, patients process emotions and insights brought up during the MDMA session. The current protocol calls for patients to take MDMA two or three times, each a month apart, interspersed with psychotherapy.

> “The MDMA alone or the therapy alone don’t appear to be as effective,” Dr. Mithoefer said. “The MDMA seems to act as a catalyst that allows the healing to happen.

While technically true, I wouldn't characterise that as "hav[ing] a jury system" but of those systems making use of a jury in exceptional cases or a very limited capacity. Even then I would feel it mischaracterised the system to anyone from the Anglosphere.

Greece, for instance, has a jury made up of judges. That's not a jury, that's an equivocation!

This is about junk science - that is the true danger and bottleneck to science - that reward for making unsubstantiated but grandiose claims. These do far more damage than potentially unfair criticism.

I am a scientist by profession and I have come to believe that the majority of work in this field is wasted because people chase that 5-minute fame. Once you are in the field you can smell the stink a mile away.

It always sounds the same: "A second genetic code discovered", "Touch reflected in the DNA", "Next cure for cancer", "Scientists can edit now genes at high fidelity with CRISPR" all pure bullshit.
Is that enough? What about groups with only a few members? Or members that have passed away in the last 20 years? Will those WWII vet groups have 1000 responsive members with the technical skill to run an archive script in the next week?
The amazing thing for me here is that the office of censorship was closed and the freedoms people enjoyed beforehand were restored. This doesn't seem to happen that often.
Probably a few minutes, and then 4 million lawyer hours for review.
What are some questions or flags you use to weed those out? How well have they worked?
Not OP, but I'm in a similar situation, so I though I'd share my insight, in case you're interested.

I prefer a desktop client because it's more lightweight than a web browser, I can keep it running indefinitely, I don't have to worry about accidentaly closing it and not receiving notifications afterwards. I can also have a dedicated icon in the tray that shows the number of new messages.

"In other cultures, it just means having friends/relationships and not being stressed all the time"

Sure, many people would say that's better or sufficient or whatever, but who calls that "success" who is not contrasting it with the grubby alternative of fame and fortune?

To me, you have defined basic mental health and implied that Americans don't value it, which is silly and offensive.
I'm not sure you're correct about colonization being harder than fixing local problems. By starting new colonies afresh, you avoid a large amount of legacy issues and political inertia.

It can be a lot easier to start a new colony than to convince everyone in the homeland to change their traditional ways.

That's one reason why I think colonization has always been on the table in the western world, with varying success over the past millennia.
There's a cancelling effect on some of these items, so that the total value in the outcome isn't clear.

It seems to hinge on the specifics of how point 4 would play out, which is largely a moral question.

Points 1 and 2 are negative in the eyes of management, and yet point 4 is so overwhelmingly favorable for management (or at least for the company...) that it would eclipse any negative implications of points 1 and 2.

Point 3 can be circumvented, or at least sufficiently mitigated. I imagine this is how well done software automation typically plays out (though I am only imagining here, really): a fallback is set up for customers who don't receive orders (e.g. a number they can call); initial error rate is unknown, but a mysterious timeout occurs after 100 customers; as soon as that happens the first time, the problem is dug into and solved; next error only occurs after 500 - 1000 customers—when it happens, the problem is dug into and solved; this process repeats, rapidly shrinking the error rate into something vanishingly small while only a handful of customers are affected (and not critically so).

Assuming no major flaws in the preceding, everything hinges on the consequences of point 4. If the moral implications are acceptable (e.g. company has other positions for these people), the main upshot of this is just that the company is now spending much less money, and the person responsible for the automation has hopefully been amply rewarded.

If the moral implications aren't acceptable (seems more likely...), then the whole thing is kinda stalemated—assuming the decision maker cares about that sort of thing ;)

My rule of thumb is eminent people do not mention their PSAT scores as a reason why they are eminent.

It's quite important that it wasn't Christians. A large part of the public understanding of history is based on a belief that progress through the early Middle Ages was held back primarily by Christian repression of free thought. There are people who very seriously believe that we'd be flying between stars by now if Christianity had never become predominant.

You don't have to be a Christian apologist to think that it's important for people understand history correctly.

I'm not sure exactly what adblockers will hook where, but I'm sure if necessary we'll see people LD_PRELOAD'ing and injecting DLLs into their browser to cut this shit out.
