Hot reload is such a difficult goal, especially if there are kernel/out-of-process resources (such as network connections) involved.

I'm sure everyone believes that hot reload is the answer, there are probably fewer than 5 projects where it has been done, and all those projects likely have some seriously PHD-level code.

Beyond the most extreme manual and cognitive effort, hot reload is completely and utterly unsolved.

The market tanks because the stocks that make the index have dropped, a stock drops when someone is selling/buying at a lower price. Therefore someone sold at a lower price.

Perhaps those that sold at a lower price purchased another stock also at a lower price and there is an assumption the universe will balance it out.
But stocks drop at different % some institutions may choose to move to cash or another commodity temporarily. I don’t expect it’s a zero sum

Close. The Sun is not a fully convective star. Convection only occurs in the outer 30% or so. The inner part is called the radiation zone [1] and it is here that energy from fusion in the core makes its way out by radiative transfer as well as conduction. This is a very slow process compared to convection, taking more than 170,000 years for the photos produced by fusion to reach the convection zone.

The Rise and Fall of the OLAP Cube
I'm not brilliant. I guess my impression of being a jerk comes from some women calling me that when fighting about relationships, and from the way some other people treated me as if I deserved bad treatment. I thought why are they treating me like that? Oh I just must be a jerk, that's why they're acting like I deserve this. finally it's my answer to why I've been rejected at final interview stage many times despite having good (not brilliant) relationship and engineering skills. I knocked back a few jobs because I didn't like the tooling, but mostly I applied to hundreds, got interviews with 10% and rejected by most at interview or coding task stage. so I guess the more complete picture might be I'm a jerk with poor engineering skills.

EDIT: To give everyone a sense of scale, those $200 each bare metal servers are 2x Intel Xeon 6-core + 256GB RAM + 15x 10TB 7200 rpm. We retain logs for 30 days and handle 4-5TB per day.

Sorting Algorithms in C
"[...] The gasses and plasma near the sun’s equator rotate around the sun’s axis every 25 days. As you move towards the sun’s poles, the rotation speed slows. Near the north and south poles, the sun rotates once every 36 days. That means the sun’s poles take 11 more days to rotate around the sun’s axis than its equator. The differing speeds of rotation is called differential rotation, meaning different parts rotate at different speeds. In fact, scientists divide the sun into four general sections and each section spins at a different speed.[...]"

If it's a niche app, I'd imagine you would monetize it differently than a 99c clicker game (eg. sell a subscription to the app on your website, or supply it as a companion to hardware you sell, or something) and the app itself would most likely be free to install off the web store.

Agrees. GM is building a battery factory

And recently an ounced a $2.2 billion investment to turn a plant into one that will produce only electric vehicle

https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/general-motors/2020/0...

GM has the EV knowledge from Bolt and Volt. It has autonomous tech from Cruise Automation.

GM is planning 20 all electric vehicle models by 2023.

IMHO they would be the clear leader in the pack of traditional manufacturers.

I also don't think anyone needs to beat anyone. Everyone will have their market share sooner or later as the tech becomes a commodity. I just want my self driving EV cheaply, and reliability. I've never owned a GM vehicle but I'm an keeping an eye on what they come out with.

1. there was a guy who came from big companies at the remote startup I worked at. it seemed to me he made so many standup meetings to confirm his own importance, and because process was what he was used to. I pushed back against that need. also after the first six weeks of unquestioningly obeying everything in code review I began offering my own suggestions. he just blew up, later picked a fight with me and made it seems like my fault and got me fired.

2. at a previous job an obese boss with back problems asked me to give him back rubs and I refused.

generally I feel I push back against anyone who uses their position to push others around for the sake of power, instead of for the goal.

that let me clash with bosses i think.

I guess people have called me a jerk, treated me like one and I've been rejected at final interview stage many times despite having good skills at code and relationships so I assume it must be because I'm an awful unemployable jerk.

The two approaches aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. Spark can easily shell out using pipe(). Plus you can use that to compose and schedule arbitrarily large data sets through your bash pipeline through a multi-node cluster.

Beyond that, while the Unix tools are amazing for per-line FIFO-based processing, they really don't do a great job at anything requiring any sort of relational algebra.
You can publish them on github or mybinder as persistent self documenting interactive repl sessions. Then others can see what the code did, the intermediate results, and can easily play with it.

> Does the sun rotate at all or it's 'static' from our perspective?

It does, though not being a rigid body, the rate of rotation is a function of latitude. Near the equator, the period of rotation is ~24 days. As you near the poles, the period is closer to 30-35 days. A means of measuring these rates available to backyard astronomers is through measuring the positions of sunspots over time. [1]

I'm sorry people are downvoting you without explanation... I used to think the same thing myself until I actually got into music and the engineering behind why things work.

The reason why we don't do that is acoustic and electrical coupling. Sound is AC, and because it is alternating we have to deal with impedance matching. air to physical objects actually has a poor impedance mismatch because of the difference in density. Electrically with pickups, when one system has a poor impedance match to another system some really interesting effects can occur. When you overload a downstream device sometimes you can produce interesting interference that just happens to produce harmonics that are musically pleasing to the ear (3rds, 4ths, 5ths). Electrical guitar amps are a great example of this; you can actually design a tube amplifier to produce even or odd order harmonics by the electrical structure of the amp.

It's the "less than perfect" analog devices and their complex interactions that make what musicians to refer to as "tone".

Fortunately there is actually an alternative: it's called balanced transmission. The standard for audio is unbalanced unfortunately. But essentially you get the best of both worlds: noise rejection from third-party sources yet analog transmission and coupling. Ironically most digital transmissions eventually travel over an analog balance transmission.

If I were unhoused without a vehicle, I would set some goals:

- get a bicycle with a trailer - to get places, haul stuff around and get exercise. Furthermore, paint it terrible colors with bright and brown spray-paint and get a Fahgettaboutit lock (I've had 3 bikes stolen over a period of 15 years all because of mechanical vulnerabilities of U-locks). Buy used where one can (buying new equals instant depreciation) and lube the drive chain often so it doesn't rust in the winter rains (I went to Davis and biked in the rain quite a bit).

- a Costco membership - This will let someone purchase food in bulk -> fewer trips and much cheaper overall. The executive membership will refund the difference if not enough rewards are earned at the end of the year to recoup the membership cost.

- a gym membership - also to stay in good shape/thinking clearly/positively.

- 55L-90L dry-bags to keep things together and dry

- Amazon also delivers to PO Boxes and their access points in most 7Elevens, but eBay/AliExpress can be cheaper (check Google Shopping)

- Pepper spray is legal to have in CA, I would get some Sabre Red is nasty and long-range

- I've talked to some unhoused folks who get some food from churches and coffeeshops/fast food/restaurants near their closing time for leftovers. Also, freeganing from Whole Foods just as they're about to throw perfectly good food beyond its sell-by date.

PS: I went through bankruptcy but still have $10k in Navient-owned (Betsy Devos, the current Sec Edu) student loan Swords of Damocles looming over my head and I've lived in a VW in the SF Bay Area for 5 years, unhoused for 9 total. And I too live clean, figuratively and literally. The point of welfare in the US seems to be to convince the recipients, through forms, convoluted processes and worker antipathy, is that they're "criminals," a "bad person" and/or somehow "out to cheat them"... "and it's all your fault." SMH.
Oh, very cool. Sounds like something I’d love to use. I always loved the Clojure REPL.
No.

The point is that initial quantity has virtualy no impact on final result, as compared with growth rate.

With a doubling time of under two days, a misestimation by a factor of two ... is resolved in a day. By a factor of 10, in about 3 days. By a factor of 100, in six. By a factor of 1,000, in 12.

It's not uncertainty about the growth rate, but change which matters, and which epidemiological containment is concerned with. The goal is to change the transmission rate (R factor), and through that, the rate of growth of the epidemic.

Epidemics of the past which have proved highly lethal (look through your favourite list of historical plagues) have killed from 10% to half of local populations, often through a combination of high mortality but slow onset. Spreading before* symptoms are clearly expressed will suffice.

The Black Death spread throughout Europe from 1346 - 1353, over eight years, killing up to 60% of the population. It returned multiple times, through 1667, with recurrence mortalities of 10-20%. It continued through the 19th century in the Arabic world.

Expecting a novel virus to attenuate markedly in a few days or weeks seems wishful thinking.

> Bad code needs to be screamingly obvious.

I'm not sure I understand why this is true for Go rather than a statically typed FP language. If anything, I'd consider languages like Haskell or ML to be better at this.

- The obvious case is handling `nil`. In Haskell, you'd treat this as `Maybe a`, and it's obvious that you're not handling the nil case since the pattern match is incomplete. In Go, you get a nil pointer exception at runtime. You could check for the nil case for every pointer, but that's too onerous, so now you're left with relying on the programmer on checking

- Go doesn't have exceptions, which removes some of the hiding of bad code (see https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20050114-00/?p=36...), but you can still accidentally use a result when an error is return (in fact, you have to return something!). In Haskell, you're forced to pattern match on an `Either`, which again exposes bad through an incomplete pattern match.

I don't think these are arguments for FP per se, but I do think that statically typed FP languages (and the languages they inspire) are much better about removing footguns and making bad code hard to write, simply because the typechecker is so restrictive. As a more general principle, instead of making bad code screamingly obvious, make it impossible to write!

Now, you mention later in the thread that you've already used Haskell before, so you're probably aware of all this and I may misinterpreted what you meant. Did you mean a different form of bad code?
