Yes, but these large packages represent a very small portion of Python packages. Also, they still include very large amounts of Python code.

So a typical user who knows only Python can still contribute even to these packages, and certainly to the other 99.9% of pure Python packages.

The barriers only exist if you want to contribute to the C++ core of NumPy or TensorFlow, and these parts are so complex and performance critical that even in Julia I'm sure only experts would be touching them.

It is very common that people with ADHD perform better on harder things and will have a problem focusing on simpler (and thus boring) problems.

Nor in NeXT, but it shows a history of Unix/FreeBSD development at Apple prior to the hire of Hubbard during the Mac OS X era. That is to say, his status as co-founder of FreeBSD and Apple hiring him wasn't merely a coincidence.

And to clarify my example, Fuchsia is set to be a Linux-less functional rebuild of Android, but it'd be a bit myopic to point out that "there's no Linux in Fuchsia". It's like saying there's no Steve Jobs in any Apple products created after his death. Less perhaps, but not none.

Wow this is such a cool idea. Here are some far out sci fi ideas this might lead to:

Create and destroy mass at will on a spacecraft to make some kind of warp drive.

Artificial gravity on a spacecraft.

Create a black hole with information that you can turn on and off.

(obviously not possible with today’s technology. You’d need unbelievably dense information storage mediums)
This might be just me, but Brooks explicitly put a decade time tag on his 1986 prediction, complicating the authors's comparisons from ~three decades later. I guess the way to tell would be to have people or teams build examples of 1986 level-of-complexity software and see how long it takes them.
I haven't researched those issues but apparently it could be done with stone age tech (1960's) compared to the material sciences we have today.
Yeah...I was thinking about just writing a bunch of Powershell or TCL to make an expert shell. Sounds like a similar idea.
It seems that you didn't reach the part of the spec that describes how to read and transmit data bits.

Also, even for simplest slaves there is still a need to keep track of time which requires additional hardware (an oscillator or some such).
Great advise, but it reads as What, How and then Why.

I use an adblocker in my browser and a pi-hole as well. I hate ad networks and it's been a long time since I've been redirected to a site letting me know I've won a free iPad.

But some sites do advertising right and my blockers are useless against them, and I'm OK with that. Take, for example, this site (and here's the owner writing about ad-blocking): https://css-tricks.com/discussion-around-ad-blocking/ (2015)

Their ads are all first-party content inserted into the page. It's not even an iframe. Just divs and svgs like the rest of the page with an anchor tag that links to the sponsor. It even looks kind of nice and fits cleanly with the site.

And most importantly, to me as a visitor, a link to a sponsored site is not going to redirect me to a scam the moment I land on css-tricks.com, because they at least always control what's on their own pages.

the rural hicks you mentioned are an extremely small minority in the u.s., found in the backwoods of louisiana and kentucky and the like. the majority of people find this practice uncouth. the one food style i mentioned is overwhelmingly the majority in china.

> And sharing food on the lazy Susan is perfectly fine, just use a sterile serving spoon, and don’t lick the handle. Don’t you eat dinner this way with your own family meals?

i have never seen ANY chinese meal served from a lazy susan use individual serving spoons for the individual meals. everyone uses their own chopsticks to grab the food and put it in their plate or they simply eat directly from the shared plate. if there is a serving spoon for a dish, sometimes provided by restaurants, individual chopsticks are still used to help.

it is a rather major faux pas in american eating to use any utensil used by an individual to touch or serve a shared dish. it is overwhelmingly the case that a serving spoon is dedicated to a dish and is only used to move the food to an individual's plate.

now, i would imagine this culture difference of eating is probably a minor one in the grand scheme of food hygeine (preparation and sourcing being more important i think), but i think it's pretty easy to say one is healthier than another.

in china, it is a constant battle to ask and understand how a dish was sourced and prepared, as most of it is taken as is by chinese. the eating habits are unchangeable at a local level and one must deal with it.

If a language is used at a company and its use is not spreading rapidly within that company (as has happened with Fortran and C and Java/Python) you do ask yourself, is the language actually serving a business purpose, or is the business serving a "language purpose" by giving some fans their entertainment? I can't think of a worse signal for a language's value, or perhaps the size of its useful domain, than it being used for years at a company without spreading.

> Has there been any studies to determine that a diverse board is actually valuable?

Define "valuable" please. Do you mean increasing monetary value for one company in the short term? As it turns out, even that answer seems to be that yes, more diverse boards are valuable. Even more importantly, they're likely to be valuable across all measures (e.g. including worker satisfaction) and all companies in the longer term. Diversity brings perspective, which means better understanding of product opportunities and limitations. It improves connection with equally diverse customers and lower-level employees too. Over time it expands the pool of people who already have the experience and connections to succeed at their next job, and the top N% of a larger pool will outperform the top N% of a smaller one.

There are all sorts of reasons why a "diversity hire" might still be better for a company despite having infinitesimally lower grades at an infinitesimally less prestigious school, so "the best people for the job" probably doesn't quite mean what you think.

First off, there is this stupid narrative going around where people of certain groups cannot have opinions on topics involved people of other groups. This is utter nonsense. Everyone is entitled to any opinion they have, and they can talk about it as much as they want.

Second, the downside in the situation you described is having less meaningful insights from your advisors. The impact that good advice could have is enormous, and as far as advisors go, second best advice could be disastrous.

We should be making these decisions entirely devoid of what your gender, ethnicity, or sexuality is. Why is everyone talking about making the outcome more equal instead of making the decision entirely uncoupled from the non-relevant aspects of the individual?
It's a great project for the technology alone but isn't the projected time frame too late? Where will we be 10 years from now with renewables?

Also, if Rolls-Royce projects 2029 it doesn't mean it's done by 2029 and most certainly not wide scale deployed/operable. So what kind of renewable infrastructure and tech will be deployed 15-20 years from now?

That's what you have to compare it with.
> look at high-end sports cars

To my eyes, there is much less shape diversity in sports cars than customer cars. Sedans definitely look the same but is it the optimal shape?

> And if they make efficient, low power and cheap cars nobody will buy the powerful and expensive ones.

That applies especially to different motors for a given car model. Several times, I have seen the lower-end engine, although less powerful, smaller displacement, to have the same mileage as the more powerful engine of the same technology/generation. A fellow engineer who worked in the car industry confirmed me (although not that clearly, because it is a sensitive subject), that engines for the low-end range can be sold with a sub-optimal mapping.
It's in part because you have way more people so the competition is higher. You're get your job but you have to be extremely efficient, as efficient as humanly possible, or you're going to be replaced - and if not by a person, eventually by automation.

I've been to China once, traveling from HK with to a massive highly dense multi-floor shopping mall, and then went to a 20+ story hotel fully converted into a massive massage/spa. For two people: 45 minute foot massage coming with some fruit and a drink, followed by an hour long full body massage, including tip, cost $36 CAD. Both environments were really incredible to experience, very opposite to how spacious our malls our, and how factory line feeling the massage hotel was in comparison. I'm still undecided which model is better - obviously though if both models are viable in an ecosystem then unless there are controls in place for quality and space requirements, then the lower price will win out competitive price wise, and cause strain on the other model's viability.
There are measures that do not depend on interpretation. Entropy of the content for instance. This is what people usually refer to in this context and the ideas of the article have actually been known to physicists for decades.
Those losses are on a per 100 mile basis. 2-5% per 100 miles of line (not as the crow flies mind you). Superconductors would make a huge difference if they could build a room temperature superconductor.

I dug the assessment of the "advanced games" while reading this (and questioning the degree of my own participation in said games), but felt a little hard pressed with the soggy take that the 'right' is the party of populism whereas leftism is for the elite. The left has hsitroically been a well for a lot of pro-public/populist ideas, like shorter work days, ending child labor, unionizing, supporting public transit, and rent control, to name a few. I guess it's kind of a modern American 'democrat' ≠ left thing.
The US should respect article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, or retreat from its signature to it.

I learned the alphabet at school, aged 5 or so, after I’d already been reading for a few years - I mean, I knew the letters and phonemes, but learning them in a specific order just seemed so arbitrary - because it is.

My parents read to me from a very early age, with the specific goal of getting me reading as early as possible in mind - and it worked. I still remember the “holy shit” moment when I finally decrypted Spot the Dog, which they must have read to me three times a day for months on end. I was reading ladybird books by the time I was 2.5, and Enid Blyton from aged 3 or so. From then on I preferred reading for myself, as it was faster, and I wasn’t reliant on a narrator who got bored after a chapter. I was hooked on stories - tv wasn’t really a thing, as we lived overseas and I was getting confused enough between Cantonese and English as it was - so I read books.

I was ahead throughout school, started university at 16 - I think mostly because my precocious and voracious reading had given me a store of knowledge and connections between concepts that my peers just didn’t have. I went through the entire popular science section at the junior school library in my first year, and then just coasted my way through class, while continuing to read on all subjects. There wasn’t much I was taught in class I didn’t already know.

So, I think it’s very much about early investment in reading - it encourages curiosity, and giving a knowledge hungry child the tools to have an infinite world of deep information available to them forges lifelong habits. I still read a book a week, give or take, and still thirst for more knowledge.

10+ years freelancer. I have virtual machines for each client, and a personal one where i test my stuff. Currently ~10 machines sitting on my PC hard, plus 20+ backed up on a separate backup hdd specially made for this. And all are backed also in the cloud, on encrypted volumes, under different providers with thousands of accounts each, all managed by a password manager (I made my own pwd manager for my own needs).

This setup allows me full separation for each client plus my own stuff. Personally I think this is the best solution. Only downside is that requires a good internet connection, which in my country is a non-issue

They do not, the go runtime just locks the OS thread to the goroutine calling C until it comes back out. This can lead to fun deadlocks that only appear on single-core machines (because by default GOMAXPROCS is equal to the core count).

Similarly, Docker locks goroutines to the OS thread when using the unshare system call to spawn containers. These are of course later discarded. It has to be locked because any goroutine might be stopped at any (automatically inserted by the compiler) checkpoint and resumed on a different OS thread.

Unsharing the network interfaces from half your OS threads is a fun way to chaos test networking in Go.

If the mass of information is strictly proportional to how many bits of entropy it contains, it follows that neither interpretation nor (lossless) compression can alter its mass.

There's quite a bit of difference between how we usually think about information and how information theory treats it. There it's all about entropy.
While the plight of the homeless in the U.S. is great discussion fodder, I don't see what relevance it has to meat market hygiene in China, or the state's role in publishing accurate public health information.
> He suggests taking mass measurements of a digital data storage device when it has full memory. If it has more mass than when the device’s memory is cleared, then that would show the mass-energy-information equivalence is correct.

Er... What?

What does it mean to "delete" information here? You put some movies on a usb drive, and then set everything to 0? and see if there's a mass difference? But a string of 0s is still information, no?
Apple receipt validation servers are slow
No, because the erasure of the information (irreversible process) will create heat (this is one of the postulates of thermodynamics). Heat is energy which also has mass. It is fascinating how nature provides for these amazing "near coincidences" and then finds a way to close the loophole.

> Finally, we need better rules about when and how it is permissible for companies to discriminate. Discrimination based on protected characteristics like race and gender is already illegal...

This is they key point of the article, but unfortunately he doesn't give any solutions or even hint at them. Does anyone know if he does elsewhere?

It also feels a bit disingenuous for him to use the word "discriminate" here.

"Discrimination" is generally understood to give someone an unfairly negative experience due to inherently irrelevant factors, such as denying someone a job due to the color of their skin.

I think most people would agree that "discrimination" is the wrong word to use when showing different people different ads due to their browsing history, or giving different people different credit card offers based on their credit scores, or charging young people more for car insurance based on their age. All of these are based on what people generally consider to be non-discriminatory, evidence-based distinctions -- and so words like "targeting" or "market segmentation" are more appropriate.

If he wants to argue for a better framework for what is considered legitimate targeting/segmentation or not, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise there's not really much to say?
