In many parts of the GB network, once you get more than a minute or two late you end up with delays propagating throughout the network, because enough is timetabled with lines near capacity.

You get up to about ~82% within 3 minutes and ~88% within 5 minutes. Beyond that you see little gains.

While Golang could be used for that, the original target was to be a "systems language", more of a niche. There are people building websites and even games, but you won't find all the expected bells and whistles. There could even be current shortcomings in the language itself for such use cases, so you would be more "on your own" with such a solution, at the moment.
It works pretty much like apt. When you do update it also shows you which packages can be upgraded. It seems pretty obvious how and why that is (maybe you dont want to upgrade everything). Seems like solid ux to me.
Subsidies and preferential tax treatment are textbook methods of state support for enterprise.

This is acknowledged in the article with literally the first sentence.

> China’s tech champion got as much as $75 billion in tax breaks...

edit:

In any case, state support for American businesses goes way beyond preferential tax treatment.

Boeing, TBTF bank bailouts, farm subsidies and bailouts, wars to open up foreign markets, the list goes on for centuries...
The compaction GC was the most important change. I haven't measured Ruby's performance specifically but in general the difference and improvements over a non-compacting GC is so huge. Specially for long running processes.
You’re talking about simulating the flight of the bullet over time. You don’t need to do that if all you want to simulate are the effects of gravity, wind, and distance on the bullet. You can pre-compute all of those things and simply add a delay based on the distance and muzzle velocity.

Sure, if you’re interested in simulating the effects of rifling and turbulence on the bullet, then you’re getting into fluid mechanics where the temperature and composition of the atmosphere make a difference. That seems like overkill for a game.
China's government is responsible only for its population. Moral responsibility isn't universal contrary to what liberalism says. This is a major, morally disarming agent that has turned pathological in NW Europe and US. What imperialism taught China is what the stick-end of liberalism feels like.
I am not saying it doesn’t work. I am saying it isn’t studied by anyone that anyone should trust. How do you actually know that girl’s change in vision was actually the result of RSO and not some other factor?
Any comment on the "In the mean time the authorities have effectively shut down the protest, that was perfectly legal" aspect?

You're attacking a strawman. Nobody was saying anything about struggling. Accumulating a down payment is by definition a lengthy process because you have to pay rent while you are saving up money. If you could get a mortgage with 0% down you could immediately convert the money you would have spent on rent into equity.
And better yet would be your right to assemble actually being worth a damn, and you never being arrested for doing something that is supposedly legal.

You're so caught up in the whole charade of "Money = Life" you don't even realize there should never have been an arrest or a legal battle in the first place, if the American people really do have a right to assemble.

Now if they don't, your discussion is valid I suppose.
What's wrong with an attendance sheet?
You're right! I could definitely have been more specific.

The article cited in the comment I responded to claimed that a person characterized as arrested for political views was arrested for blocking a public right-of-way.

The primary reason I did not list this above is because it functions as an open invitation to endlessly debate if the public right-of-way was blocked or not, how relevant or legal related laws are, and so on. That would have been, in my opinion, not a useful, interesting, or substantive discussion. Almost every party involved would have attended having already decided what was true and ready to argue it forever.

So I skipped it in favor of a more subtle point - restrictions are both allowed and accepted.
> One odd omission from the article is why it took an hour to reset everything. Given that they have redundant power, I would imagine that they could remotely select which power supply to use or at least to remotely reset the breakers.

No remote control of them, had to get people to each breaker. (This was mentioned on Twitter closer to the time by NR.)
The poverty line is defined as 60% of median income, not by needs. In the UK there is also the phrase “living wage” which seems to be about needs rather than relative wealth, but I don’t know enough German to get past the opening paragraph of news (I have the German vocabulary of an 8-year-old, which is somehow all you seem to need for CEFR B1) so if an equivalent exists here, I don’t know it yet.

Fair point about gross/net:

€13.152 times two people = €26.304, and for reference €30k gross, category 2, one child = 21.018,18 € net, so about €5k short if that’s how family poverty is defined.
I'm glad to see that label being used!

This very thing happened to me decades ago: I walked into parents' bedroom to find my fearless younger brother, ignoring my yells, climbing up the handles on the front of my father's dresser. I yelled for my parents but I couldn't stop him fast enough. As the dresser began to tip I got between him and it and pushed upward, both removing him from the dresser and tipping it back to rest.

I was truly shaken and astonished that this child might have killed himself, since I knew that the top drawer was filled with my father's most valuable (and heaviest) WWII memorabilia and that the entire dresser, about 5 feet tall, was hardwood with decorative protrusions on the front.

Many of these cases are dismissed on constitutional grounds. And therein is the problem: “the process is the punishment”

They make it awful to be arrested and detained, and know the case will be dismissed but that doesn’t matter.

> just means trying out

this statement trivializes a very hard problem.

> literally just means trying out, or simulating

Simulating is an incredibly hard problem and MC methods and theory is an incredibly rich area of study. Some tools I use for my work in probabilistic machine learning models are MCMC techniques like HMC (Hamiltonian Monte Carlo), variance reduction techniques (Rao Blackwellization). If you would like to learn more, here is a great course: https://statweb.stanford.edu/~owen/mc/ -- you can take a look at the syllabus. Also, Casella Berger is a standard MC method book.
UKF is, in my mind, a principled version of the particle filter. Its a really clean way of operating and I cant emphasize enough the power of explicitly conditioning on decision variables, i.e. multi hypothesis formulations of UKF, EKF, or even Batch filters, all of which require orders of magnitude less CPU / mem.

(e.g. I'm not sure about this echo or that, so I'll propegate explicitly conditioned on those unknowns two reasonable hypotheses that are effectively unimodal rather than sampling the entire posterior probability space). The exponential set of probabilities then allows you to take action to remove hypotheses or trim by weight. And, this is only required when you encounter huge uncertainties nonlinearities or multimodalities, so it is explicitly adaptive to the situation. I've never seen a sampling or reweighting strategy that provides a decent job of this. PF is throwing CPU and memory at the problem, and it does reasonably well but for anything Ive worked on or dug into, the CPU and Memory is alwayd better used elsewhere in the system.

This is true. Without reaching for state-of-the-art psychoacoustics research, though, even the second autocorrelation peak will take harmonics into account. And you can compute it without the STFT latency, which matters here.

It is possible to estimate where a signal is inside the frequency bin; that's how phase vocoders work.

What's your solution? You could give it a super wide base so it has trouble fitting in places people normally put filing cabinets, or make the body so heavy that having all the drawers full and pulled out won't tip it over?

I think maybe the problem is that they swung for the fences out of the gate — a general solution to automatically creating custom fitted traditionally made bras for any body type.

They could have maybe had more success by being less ambitious:

Focus on one body type that has a relatively easy solution to make the ‘perfect bra’

Make custom bras that are close and require a single trip to a tailor for small adjustments — or one that enables the customer to make markings somehow and send it back to the company to adjust.

A “smart bra” for fitting that has sensors that send measurements about stress and weight distribution.

Try and figure out new materials and construction methods that cover up for inadequacies in the fitting algorithm. Make something that looks unusual but works — like crocs shoes. Some people will hate it but others will swear by it.
My take is driven by me finding the Arduino platform too easy. My first exposure to embedded development was Energia, and I was so underwhelmed that I didn't bother with it again until years afterwards, when I downloaded CCS and got to play in the "big leagues". I know multiple people that had that same experience.

If you're already writing software, you're not going to be struggling with having to learn programming. Translated to Arduino, this is great for engineers who don't write software and just need to get simple shit done fast, but for those with a background in software, it feels equal parts mundane (I called analogRead and... got an ADC value, just as expected) and magic (what did analogRead actually do?). Given, you can go look at the source for these libraries, but a lot of them make very generous use of the preprocessor for the sake of supporting multiple products in one codebase, and it's often not pleasant to read. Working with an MSP430 (or basically any architecture if you're using more capable tooling, like you mentioned with AVR) has a certain clarity to it that the Arduino ecosystem just doesn't seem to capture.

I would make the same argument for AVR and the "real deal" tooling as I do the MSP430; why bother with Arduino when you're probably coming in with decent programming skills?
The only Java deskop app I've used that doesn't feel bloated is Charles. It _still_ has that Swing "almost looks like OSX" look to it but otherwise, it's completely usable. I use IntelliJ nearly every day, and while it's insanely powerful, it feels so incredibly bloated. I'm running on a 6th gen Thinkpad X1C (Arch Linux), a 2017 Macbook Pro (both with 16G of RAM) and a brand new Ryzen 7 with 32G of Ram. It just isn't snappy. I've always wanted to write a JavaFX app and compare it across platforms. I've seen some really nice demos.
> Systems were up within an hour, but if you throw an hour's delay into a busy part of the rail system, you have knock on effects (trains aren't where they are supposed to be) that will basically last until the end of the service day.

And at a location where almost all lines are running at near capacity you can't "catch up" by getting more trains through the location once things are working again to get stock back in place, you can only get the regular timetable through it.
What some are failing to do wrt. to US companies is to drop the legal fictions and instead follow the economical laws, and money. The tax-accountant fiction doesn't mean it's not economically supported (by US state). China does it more openly, in US tradition of procedural liberalism requires legal and theoretical fictions to mask what would otherwise be obvious State support.
But in today's issue of the NR there's an article claiming the fairy tale of the incarnation could be true. No working shown. Just a crazy belief in primitive superstitions apparently.
An essential part of the "town square" is that it is that it is a central place where people can be heard. The fact that zillions of social networks exist is irrelevant since only a few of them have the public scope and size such that they act as a modern town square. The same is true of physical spaces.

The right to peaceable assembly doesn't the same as it has in the past because in the past the center of society was in public rather than private places.
To bastardize Mitch Hedberg: "sorry for the safety."
> Reddit, twitter, and discord are not the equivalent of a Town square

> pretending that the right to have your tweets promoted to an audience of millions and the right to free assembly are in any way the same is just muddying the waters

One might say that pretending that:

- because two issues aren't identical, they do not have similarities

- because the 1st amendment does not extend to private corporations, then no free speech (in the generic sense, that precedes the 1st amendment) limitations are occurring

...is also muddying the waters.

I find it interesting how it seems that the ability to detect nuance is largely dependent upon the topic of discussion.
So what I think of as "free assembly" way back when, is the private meetings that our founding father had in taverns and homes when they were planning the rebellion. Today I would consider that to be, say, Antifa (or whatever group you like) organizing via whatsapp or facebook groups (and maybe to some extent Twitter). My concern is when the companies behind these platforms shut down groups that they don't like. Sure, the participants could theoretically just meet in person to do their planning, but in a country as big as ours that simply won't happen.
Right now I'm purely solving a personal pain, so I'm just offering it for free because I have to publish anyway and I kinda enjoy the process. As soon as there are enough requests coming in for features that I personally don't use, like syncing, appearance (color, fonts) customization, prompt questions etc. I'm going to experiment with a freemium model to make this more sustainable. This is also why I haven't open sourced it yet, because I want to leave room for experiment and make this sustainable long-term.

> We have a single developer taking care of the codebase. Does Optimizely need ten people to handle theirs? Or twenty? We don't know, but one thing is for certain: 20 people make more redundancy, technical debt, and bugs than one.

I get the point that having too many developers writing too much code can make it too much to handle. But I've seen what one person operating alone in a vacuum can do as well, and it is not pretty. It seems like really you want maybe 3 people to really understand some code. That gives you a good bus factor, but not so many people injecting ideas and patterns that the code becomes unwieldy. More important, it gives you extra code reviewers who can push back against bad code smell and hopefully find bugs, or at least try to test it. 1 might be better than 20, but 3 is better than 1.
> The largest portion of assistance, about $46 billion, comes from loans, credit lines and other assistance from state lenders, the Journal’s review showed. The company saved as much as $25 billion in taxes between 2008 and 2018 due to state incentives to promote the tech sector. Among other assistance, it enjoyed $1.6 billion in grants and $2 billion in land discounts.

My only statement is that I wouldn’t call tax subsidies government support. Support implies giving something to the company. Bailouts are arguably support, not taxing a key industry is not exactly support.
Yes, I remember the harmonics were an issue. We were excited when the iPhone came out and had the resources to tune all the strings at once.

I can’t remember what we did, but we did provide sharp / flat indication. It definitely worked just like a normal tuner you would find, letting you dial it in quite precisely. Maybe I will crack open the code and look at it...

What would be an example of limiting a peaceful assembly in a way that neuters it? Would you consider blocking a road to be peaceful? I wouldn't. If it were only about limiting a disruptive message, I'd agree, but it's not clear that's what you mean.
Do any of the folks writing these articles know anything about ARPA (now DARPA) and the US government's foundational role in funding the development of technologies like radar, transistors, microchips, the Internet...?

Honestly, the United States scolding China's state support for their domestic tech manufacturer is about as ridiculous as a nation founded upon human slavery lecturing the world about human rights!

...

What?
Thinking out loud here, but I don’t think this is as real a risk as it may first appear to be. In most cases I think the owners of the road would rightfully make sure their property is used per their rules. But if we had a society-wise protest (like in Hong Kong), the general laws/rules would be ignored anyways and not much changes between the public and private scenarios.

The problem with today’s protests in America is that it is mostly extreme views from a fringe segment of society that are represented, rather than moderate/balanced views. I’m not sure why so much attention is given to these protests, because it seems like a really poor signal to use for any purpose. Others who may disagree have no accessible avenue to represent counterpoints due to a lack of psychological safety, sometimes a lack of physical safety, and due to a lack of time (especially if you have a family). My gut feeling is that if it became harder to hold those protests (due to public versus private infrastructure), we wouldn’t complain much as a society.

Lastly, the legal right to assembly is regulated in America, by time manner and place regulations. Protesters often ignore those laws and block infrastructure they have no right to block, ignoring the law. I think they should be arrested by force then, but my point is I don’t know that the public versus private angle but will matter to those crowds anyways if other laws don’t matter either.

I agree with you that all rights have some sort of limitation. However, I think a fair question would be wether it is possible to meaningfully cause change while operating within the limitations that are currently placed on freedom of assembly.

Micronaut and Quarkus are fantastic! Those startup times are exactly what you're looking for if you want to run a cloud function or lambda. I will say, that for a standard microservice, where startup time is not as important, I'd not compile to GraalVM. The cpu/memory overhead to create a GraalVM image is pretty intense. Furthermore, GraalVM doesn't optimize as it warms up like HotSpot does. That need may depend on your use case. I'm currently running Micronaut services in production that take around 5 seconds to start on JDK 1.8. The Spring Boot equivalent..... well.... 10 times that amount of time maybe?

The one about complaining about git status “Your branch is up to date with origin/master” Not hitting the network just belies a complete misunderstanding of both the message and distributed versioning systems in general. This message is telling you that your branch is up to date with your LOCAL tracking branch and is absolutely accurate and helpful in this regard. If you fetch and pull new diffs then it will tell you a different story. I wish people would stop complaining about git and just read the very easy to understand git book https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 Learn your tools people!
